Seduction

"Military division?" Gu Qing didn't have time to put down the document, and frowned at Zhan Xingruo.

Zhan Xingruo rubbed his temples and grabbed it.

"Here we come." He replied, tidied up his clothes a bit and went to open the door for Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng rushed here in a hurry, wearing the long-lost court uniform, "A Li, change clothes quickly, and follow me." Wu Zheng said.

"Okay." Zhan Xingruo nodded, turned around and went to the room to get clothes.

"Military division, when was this written?" Gu Qing did not evade, standing behind Zhan Xingruo and asked.

"I've already written it."

"You want to play it up?" Gu Qing asked.

"Of course, otherwise, why write it." Zhan Xingruo said.

"Military officer, why is this? You know that the gentry is powerful and unshakable. You are hitting a rock with an egg. If the reform comes true, they will not let you go." Gu Qing said, these Zhan Xingruo of course know, he just She nodded, but did not respond to Gu Qing.

"No, military advisor, with the current situation, the external turmoil is injustice, and how to change the internal affairs. This is not the time to change the internal affairs. You don't know. Besides, there will be no results if such a rash reform is made. Zhang Jiyao is not dead, and any reforms are useless. Submitting this document of yours will only make you a target of public criticism."

Gu Qing paused, "Or, is this your purpose?"

After Zhan Xingruo changed his clothes, he looked back at Gu Qing and nodded, "Let them all look at me, that's my purpose."

"Why?" Gu Qing pulled him back.

"Control chaos with chaos." Zhan Xingruo said, "We still have time. I will write to you when I come back."

"Why didn't the military division tell me before?"

"If you don't see it, I don't want to tell you now." Zhan Xingruo looked into Gu Qing's eyes and said, without dodging at all, but made Gu Qing a little flustered.

"When was it decided?" Gu Qing asked.

"When you were injured." Zhan Xingruo lowered his head and lowered his eyes. "Zhang Jiyao should also go to the court, you should take advantage of this time to leave and let Wuzheng's bodyguard take you back, everything will be fine."

"Military teacher, I think," Gu Qing said halfway, but Zhan Xingruo suddenly leaned into his arms, gently clutched his clothes, and pressed his face against his chest for a long time.

"Let me also protect you once. Go quickly." Zhan Xingruo whispered.

Gu Qing stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly, "Military Master, tell me, when the world is in balance, what else do you want, see if I can give it to you."

Zhan Xingruo pulled out a smile and said, "I want to live a life where I can get up very late every day, can you give it to me?"

Gu Qing nodded, "Of course. I will definitely hold the military division in my palm."

"Then I'll make a note of it." Zhan Xingruo said, and then pushed Gu Qing away, the light in his eyes dimmed at that moment, and with the withdrawal of another body temperature, a certain premonition suddenly rose in Gu Qing's heart Suddenly, Zhan Xingruo turned around and went out, without looking back at him, leaving only his back in black and red court clothes.

So strange.

It was rare for the emperor to go to court, and there were ministers in a hurry in front of the hall.

Kong Fu followed behind Zhang Jiyao, and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Jiyao worriedly.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Jiyao asked.

"It's okay if it's nothing, I just thought, why did the old emperor suddenly go to court today after so many days?" Kong Fuyi asked.

"Hmph. It's not like someone is stalking and has a glib tongue." Zhang Jiyao carried his court clothes up the steps.

"Someone lobbied the emperor? Didn't the emperor refuse to see people, even you..."

"It's all told by the prince, that the prince has frequently visited the emperor these days, and the emperor agreed. Sure enough, the biological one is different." Zhang Jiyao sneered, "I have had trouble with me since I was a child, so I want to see it. This prince can still thump and struggle a few times, but in the end it is just a dead end."

"It's the prince." Kong Fu nodded, but he was a little worried, "You said him, did you tell the emperor something about you?"

"It's at this time, and I'm still afraid that he won't succeed, so I told him to go ahead and talk." Zhang Jiyao laughed, "Come on, follow me to court, and see what else the emperor can do."

When the two entered the hall, all the officials had already stood up, waiting for the Taiwei to take his place.The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Jiyao. Zhang Jiyao stepped forward to salute. The emperor was very happy to see Zhang Jiyao coming. He waved his hand quickly, "Aiqing is flat."

Zhang Jiyao smiled, turned his head to look at Wuzheng beside him, and caught a glimpse of the rare Zhan Xingruo.

"Mr. Zhan is here too?" Zhang Jiyao whispered when he stepped back.

Zhan Xingruo only glanced sideways at him, but didn't speak.

"I heard from the crown prince, who, do you have any good strategies for governing the country and giving it to me? Take a look." The emperor said.

Zhan Xingruo took a step forward and handed over the memorial.

The emperor gestured with his hand, and the eunuch sent the memorial up. He squinted his eyes and read it again and again.

"Aiqing is a good word." He smiled, "It's me, I can't see clearly." After finishing speaking, he put down the memorial, and the hall burst into laughter.

Wu Zheng frowned slightly, looked at Zhan Xingruo, but found Zhan Xingruo's face was calm, and said calmly, "Then minister, tell the emperor?"

When he asked, the court suddenly fell silent.After a while there was another whisper.

The emperor paused, "Okay, tell me, I want to hear."

Zhan Xingruo knelt in front of the hall, folded his hands, "Your Majesty, we have just sweated profusely, and the barbarians are attacking fiercely. Conquests are already exhausting the people and money. Now the people are overwhelmed, and Yuezhu is already scarred. It is really inappropriate to raise taxes at this time. "

"You want to talk to me about taxes?" the emperor asked.

Zhan Xingruo nodded.

"You think it's unreasonable?"

"Yes."

"Ah..., they all took it." The emperor waved his hand, and the court was in a mess.

Wu Zheng couldn't help but also came forward, "Tell my father, according to what I have seen, the disaster in the southwest and northeast of Yuezhu is the most serious. It is clear that the food has been allocated, but it has been delayed in the hands of the people. Can't stand it."

"Someone has been corrupted?" the emperor asked with his head stretched out.

Neither Wu Zheng nor Zhan Xingruo spoke. He smiled to himself, "It must be so. If you don't tell me, I can guess it. Why? Who is so bold?" the emperor asked.

"My son, I don't know." Wu Zheng said.

"I don't know? Then what are you talking about with me? Wuzheng, you asked me to put the Taoist priest aside, just to hear you say this."

"Your Majesty." Zhan Xingruo said suddenly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that there have been corrupt officials throughout the dynasties," he paused, "it's just that Yuezhu is particularly serious."

The whole hall was in an uproar, even Wu Zheng was startled, if his father got angry, Zhan Xingruo might be killed.

"You said I can't do it?" The emperor really didn't disappoint Zhan Xingruo.Zhan Xingruo was still as calm as ever. He shook his head and said calmly, "It's not that the emperor can't do it, it's that the system is not good. The system of the predecessors is not suitable for the current Yuezhu. , we are bigger, more complicated and more difficult to manage. Since ancient times, the emperors have always had a set of systems that have evolved with the times, and I have no intention of insulting the emperor. Please learn from the emperor."

Zhan Xingruo said, as soon as his words fell, the old emperor sat up straight and slowly leaned back. Wuzheng was relieved. Seeing that Zhan Xingruo usually doesn't like to talk, he didn't expect to be so eloquent at critical moments.

"You are right, so do you have a countermeasure?"

"I have." Zhan Xingruo said.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and Gu Qing had already boarded the carriage back to Tianguan. Lu Wangyao wanted to have a few words with his brother, but he saw his brother staring out of the window without even looking at him.Sighing, "I'll go out and sit for a while to get some fresh air, call me if you need something."

Gu Qing ignored him, Lu Wangyao opened the curtain and went out.

Besides the coachman, Piao Yao was also sitting there, carefully peeling pears with a knife.

"It won't be long before you just eat it." Lu Wangyao sat next to him, and Piaoyao even hid.

"No, no, this skin, no, it's not clean." He stammered, as if he was more focused on peeling the pear.

"Ha." Lu Wangyao looked at the pears that were getting smaller and smaller, and laughed, "You don't need to eat it after you peel it, it's all gone." Lu Wangyao said.

Piaoyao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and continued to shave again. Lu Wangyao found it interesting. After knowing each other for so long, Piaoyao seemed to have returned to the time when they first met, and stumbled.

"Tsk, talk to me and look at me." Lu Wangyao said.

"I, I'll peel the pears." Piao Yao didn't raise her head, but Lu Wangyao could clearly see her red ears.She thought in her heart that if she really got together with Piao Yao in the future, with such a careful look, it would be almost like taking a daughter-in-law. In this way, even if Piao Yao is a man, it's not a loss, and I must love him very much.

"I can just eat it without peeling it." Lu Wangyao said.

Fluttering stopped, looked at him, "No, this is for Mr. Gu."

"Ah?" Lu Wangyao paused.

"He, it's good to eat some of this." Piao Yao said.

Lu Wangyao supported his forehead, "It's not for me. Why do you care so much about my brother? He's got his name."

"No, it's not!" Piao Yao immediately retorted, Lu Wangyao smiled, and moved closer to Piao Yao's side, "Then what are you doing?" He asked.

Piaoyao held the Yali in one hand and the knife in the other. Don't look away from Lu Wangyao. After a while, he stammered and said, "I, my master said that elder brothers are like fathers. If I take you away from now on, no one will respect you." Master Gu, I have to, ahead of time..." After talking, Yao Yao stopped and looked back at Lu Wangyao who was already in a daze.

He didn't know if he said something wrong, so he quickly explained, "I don't know how to do this yet. When I'm ready, I'll cut it for you too. I'll take good care of you and raise a lot, a lot of chickens for you. We We can raise together, eat together, and actually farm," he suddenly lowered his voice and said shyly, "One, sleep together."

Lu Wangyao stared blankly at him and finished speaking.

It took a long time to realize, "You are, are you going to marry me back?"

"I..." Piaoyao swallowed, wondering if Lu Wangyao was going to be angry, and waited for his answer aggrievedly, then quietly added, "I want to treat you well."

"Then practice peeling pears well." Lu Wangyao said calmly, as if he didn't listen to Piao Yao's words at all, and turned back to the carport.
