I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Xue Yuan had no way to return to the capital, and what was even more difficult was that the post station was no longer delivering letters.

How did this happen!

Doesn't it mean that after a year, Gu Yuanbai will completely forget about him? !

Thinking of this, Xue Yuan immediately strode out of the camp, and with a dark face, he drove his horse and chased the people at the post station.

Fortunately, the wind and snow in northern Xinjiang were so heavy that the people at the post station did not dare to walk fast. Xue Yuan caught up with the people at the post station after a while. He drove his horse forward and said politely, "Your station is really not Have you sent a letter to the capital?"

There were layers of snow on the eyebrows and eyelids of the officials in the station, and they shouted loudly: "My lord, we really don't deliver letters anymore, it's too cold today."

Xue Yuan muttered to himself: "I didn't hear that."

He suddenly reined in the horse and turned over, quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab the post official's horse, and then hooked his fingers down to make him bend over.

Seeing his tall figure, the post station official felt timid, bent down obediently, and said, "My lord, what's the matter with you?"

"I want to discuss something with you, my lord," Xue Yuan said because he was in a hurry, so he didn't wear cotton-padded clothes. The clothes on his body made others feel cold when they looked at them in the ice and snow, but his slender hands were very strong, and they were slightly frozen. Red's five fingers grabbed the collar of the station official's neck to prevent the man from running away. He said in a good voice, "My lord, what if I have an urgent letter that I have to send to the capital?"

"As long as it is related to the border war, someone will send it to Beijing," the post station official replied honestly. "If you have an urgent letter, it depends on where it is."

That is, only war-related letters can be sent now, and others cannot be sent.

Xue Yuan wiped his face, "Okay, I will send letters related to the war."

He had to ask what was going on.

The post station official said: "Only the chief general has the right to submit a memorial at the end of the year."

Xue Yuan: "..."

He tightened his hands with a smile, and said politely amidst the terrified expressions of the post station officials: "I won't deliver the letter anymore, I will only send a message to the capital. There are countless people coming and going in the post station, and there will always be someone who will return to Beijing to report on their duties. If you don’t go, someone will go.”

"I just have one thing to say." His eyebrows and eyes darkened instantly, "Go and tell the Holy One about Xue Yuan, don't believe what those people say."

"Including other people surnamed Xue, including Chang Yuyan."

It finally snowed in Beijing in January.

The snow fell for three consecutive days, and in the midst of the heavy snow, a person braved the snow and entered the capital.

Wrapped in a cloak and wearing a heavy hat, he occasionally raised his eyes to look at the houses on both sides of the road in the capital.Unfamiliar yet familiar, I found a friend's mansion in it.

Goose feathers were snowing heavily, but there were no traces of snow on the roads in the capital.The thick snow has been swept to both sides of the road, and on the exposed flat ground, there are carriages and children dressed like a ball passing by from time to time.

This person slowed down and looked slowly in the capital for half an hour. When he found his friend's mansion, a layer of snow had already accumulated on his body.

The friend laughed and scolded after leaving the mansion: "Okay, Zhicheng Lin, how long have we been waiting for you? Why are you here now!"

Lin Zhicheng got off his horse and asked with a smile, "You?"

"Come in quickly," the friend personally ran over and took him to the mansion, "It's us, except me, everyone who knew you were coming back has already come."

After a while, everyone sat on the kang, eating and drinking around the dining table in the middle, chatting and laughing constantly, looking at Lin Zhicheng who is now calm but still upright, his eyes were moist: "Didn't your majesty ask you to come back after the next year to report on your duties? You Why are you back now?"

"I'm anxious." Lin Zhicheng has entered middle age, with a smile on his resolute face, "I finally saw the dawn, so how can I not be in a hurry? Besides, I don't have any family to restrain me, so I can set off on the road at any time .”

As he said that, he asked what he wanted to ask a long time ago: "What's the matter with your bed? Why is it still hot?"

The friends who were touched just now suddenly laughed: "This is what the Holy Majesty made. It is called a heated kang. Do you know what is a heated kang?"

Lin Zhicheng said: "I know, of course I know, I saw your article."

He touched the warm kang with his hands, thought for a while, and said: "I just walked around the capital for half an hour, and found many remote and narrow paths, and now they are paved with bluestone slabs."

"Yes," my friend nodded slightly, and then sighed, "You don't know, a lot has changed in the capital."

"Indeed," Lin Zhicheng said, "I have rarely seen beggars curled up in the corners along the way."

The friend said: "Then after dinner, I'll take you to Beijing to have a look."

Lin Zhicheng raised his glass and said, "Good."

Soon, Gu Yuanbai also learned the news that Lin Zhicheng had returned to Beijing to report on his duties.Three days later, he summoned Lin Zhicheng to the palace to face the saint.

Salute in Lin Zhicheng

AD4

Gu Yuanbai took a special look at him.Lin Zhicheng is already in his thirties, almost in his forties.It was the age of the dragon and the tiger. Although he had been a pirate, he was still the leader of the pirates, but he did not have a gangster look on him, and his brows were upright and awe-inspiring. He was a very serious person.

Gu Yuanbai talked with him about the past, which naturally started from the time of the first emperor.Gu Yuanbai had read the book Lin Zhicheng wrote to the late emperor before, and the tone was very direct and not flattering.Gu Yuanbai had already prepared that he couldn't speak, but he didn't expect that after five years of training, Lin Zhicheng's words had softened a lot, and occasionally he would say some witty words that made people laugh out loud.

He speaks Mandarin well, but he still has a Fujian accent.After chatting with Gu Yuanbai, Lin Zhicheng himself said: "My lord, my accent is a bit strong, I wonder if you can understand it."

"Yes," Gu Yuan smiled, "Master Lin's Mandarin is very good."

When Gu Yuanbai was in college, one of his roommates was from Fujian, and what’s more coincidentally, there was another buddy from Hunan. Under the influence of each other, the whole dormitory was almost speechless. Can pop out a few words with my own accent.

After chatting, Lin Zhicheng talked about the navy, Gu Yuanbai nodded, and tapped on the handrail: "I think the same way as Master Lin, the importance of the navy is not inferior to that of the Lu division. But for the generals who train the navy, I haven't been able to find one that suits me."

The meaning of the Holy Majesty is obvious. After saying this, Lin Zhicheng felt a little excited in his heart. He clasped his fists in a deep voice: "If the Holy Majesty does not dislike it, I am willing to do my best for the Holy Majesty."

Gu Yuanbai said hello, and he smiled and walked over to help Lin Zhicheng himself, "It's like a treasure for me to have Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin, I will leave Daheng's navy to you!"

"Yes!" Lin Zhicheng bowed deeply.

After finishing the business, Lin Zhicheng should have stepped back, but he suddenly remembered something and said: "My lord, when I passed by the post station, I was entrusted by the post station officials to give a word to the sage."

Gu Yuanbai became a little interested, "What are you talking about?"

"It seems to be what a general said, but who is the general, the people at the post station forgot to tell the same minister," Lin Zhicheng pondered, and said: "He said: Please don't believe the words that are forced out of the mouth. Whether it's other people surnamed Xue, or Chang Yuyan."

That's compelling.

Gu Yuanbai was silent for a while, then nodded with a strange expression, telling Lin Zhicheng to back off.

He wanted to laugh a little, and thought about the general in Lin Zhicheng's words.

It must be Xue Yuan, not anyone else.

Gu Yuanbai turned the jade finger in his hand, and asked Tian Fusheng: "It's the end of the year, is the post station closed?"

Tian Fusheng said: "That's right."

"Tian Fusheng, what do you mean by Xue Yuan's words?" Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes with no expression of joy or anger. "He told me not to believe what other people said, which made sense. About the border war, about I will never listen to or believe in Daheng's political affairs. The other people surnamed Xue mentioned in his mouth are Chang Yuyan, one is from his house, and the other is his friend. These people don't believe it. I trust him?"

Tian Fusheng said cautiously, "Then do you believe it?"

Gu Yuanbai glanced at him and asked, "Which aspect?"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Fusheng knew that the Holy Majesty still trusted Lord Xue, and at worst, there were several aspects of trust.He also felt wronged for Master Xue, after all, Tian Fusheng couldn't doubt Master Xue's heart for the man who could use the power of jade for himself, who could do this for the Holy One.

But you can't talk about Yushi, so as not to dirty the ears of the sage.Tian Fusheng had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, maybe Master Xue also has difficulties."

Have a problem?Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, don't believe what other people say, whether it is the person surnamed Xue or Chang Yuyan.Could it be that those people were not sent by him to protect Chu Wei?Chu Wei has been unlucky again and again these days. He was caught in an alley and taught him a lesson, and he was attracted by the Seventh Prince of Xixia, so he should be protected by Xue Yuan.

Mr. Xue's family still has another Xue Er, but Mr. Xue Er and Chu Wei have never met before. Chu Wei and Xue Yuan are a couple in the original text, and the expressions of those servants of Xue's residence... He rubbed Rubbing his forehead, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

He doesn't plan to prostitute Xue Yuan anymore, it doesn't matter to him whether the relationship between him and Chu Wei is clean or not.

No, when did he take the initiative to prostitute Xue Yuan?

The anger after being tricked by Xue Yuan is still heavy when he thinks about it.

If Xue Yuan was really wronged, if he really didn't know anything...

He opened his eyes and said coldly: "Go and call the servants and guards of the Xue residence that day."

If it was Gu Yuanbai who misunderstood, Gu Yuanbai was wrong, then Gu Yuanbai would simply admit his mistake and apologize to Xue Yuan.If it was Xue Yuan who did it but still stubbornly refused to admit it, he would secretly entangle with Chu Wei while being affectionate to Gu Yuanbai.If he really played with Gu Yuanbai like a fool, then Xue Yuan had better be prepared to be ruthlessly returned by Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai will investigate the matter clearly, and follow what Xue Yuan said, and investigate one by one.

Xue Yuan, Gu Yuanbai's eyes are dark, you'd better not play tricks on me a second time.
