I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

That night, Gu Yuanbai didn't do anything because he developed a slight fever.

The imperial doctor said that he could have sex in half a month, and Xue Yuan was even more careful not to hurt him.But the Holy Majesty's body still couldn't bear the joy that penetrated to the bone, Gu Yuanbai was forced to take medicine and lay down on the bed to rest.

In order to appease him, Xue Yuan showed his scratched back full of scars for him to see.

The Holy Majesty didn't appreciate it, he rolled his eyes at the loyal and loyal General Xue, closed his eyes and rested.

Three days later, Gu Yuanbai got up from the bed.He was secretly persuaded by Tian Fusheng several times, "Your Majesty, you must not be so disregarding your body, this is too hurtful."

The old eunuch didn't stop there, he also deliberately teased him in front of Xue Yuan for being too obsessive, complaining a lot in his words.Gu Yuanbai couldn't hold back, he leaned on the desk and laughed until his back trembled slightly.

Xue Yuan stood aside, his cold eyes swept over Tian Fusheng, and his hands gently ran along the back of the Holy Majesty.

A few days later, Gu Yuanbai received a letter from the Xixia Emperor.

The current emperor of Xixia is the previous second prince of Xixia, the cowardly prince whose leg was broken by Gu Yuanbai.

The tone in Li Angyi's envelope was helpless, "The letter you wrote to my father really made my life difficult."

Naturally, he didn't say it so directly, but the meaning is in the details.After reading the whole letter, Gu Yuanbai's expression slowly turned solemn, and he could see the many temptations of the second prince of Xixia from it.

Li Angyi already knew about the naval battle between Fusang and Daheng, did he plan to make a move?

Gu Yuanbai had been meditating all night, and he was also thinking about the second prince of Xixia when he was sleeping.He kicked Xue Yuan down even when he climbed onto the bed, "I'm not in the mood right now."

Xue Yuan insisted on climbing up, hugged him into his arms, was kicked and beaten several times, and carried him down one by one, "My lord, tell me, who made you lose your mood? I'm going to chop him up now." gone."

"That's too much," Gu Yuanbai pointed at him, "You should be number one."

Xue Yuan smacked his fingers and smiled politely, "My lord, I am willing to be punished by my lord."

"I'm kneeling, make sure you don't move," Xue Yuan was eager to try, thinking of the carriage that day, "Your Majesty, I have strength in my legs, you can stand directly on my legs and support my shoulders."

Gu Yuanbai was unmoved, and said leisurely: "Xue Jiuyao, can you say a few more words?"

Xue Yuan shut up.

After a moment of silence, it was Gu Yuanbai who spoke first, "I'm thinking about the Xixia Emperor."

Xue Yuan sneered, "I remember, the second prince whose leg was broken by me."

"Yes," Gu Yuanbai said slowly, "In the near future, there will definitely be a war at the junction of the Northwest and Xixia. At that time, I plan to conquer by myself."

Xue Yuan suddenly tightened the arms holding Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai pursed his lips, looked at him face to face with his head sideways, and broke up the reason why he told Xue Yuan why he decided to go to the imperial conquest, "Now the country is stable, and the victory of the coastal areas is far away from the mainland after all. Our anti-corruption campaign When the incident happened, I thought about using a victory to publicize my power. The local officials were far away from the emperor, and the emperor's majesty had weakened a lot for them. I told you about this, and you told me at that time , the greater the majesty of the general, the soldiers will be convinced and obedient."

Xue Yuan took a deep breath, nodded, "Yes."

"So I need a sure-win victory to deter the region and shock the northwest. The victory in the northern border is not enough, and the victory in seizing the secrets of the sky did not have the degree of deterrence I want internally," Gu Yuanbai said cleanly, "The victory in the first battle against Xixia, I am sure. If this is the case, I cannot let go of the opportunity of this imperial conquest."

"What's more," Gu Yuanbai paused, and lowered his voice, "After the first battle in Xixia, I planned to carry out school reform. Only when the imperial conquest came back in person, those people would be timid under the aftermath of my victory, and they would continue to panic in fear. Avoid me."

"At that time, the reform of the school will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve it in one fell swoop."

The rules in Gu Yuanbai's heart were the same, if his body could not be diagnosed and treated, then he would naturally not choose to go on a personal expedition, and he might not be able to bear the long journey.But now everything is different, the body has the means to live better and longer, Gu Yuanbai's ambition started to burn along with the body, when he said these words, it seemed that there were lights in his eyes.

Captivating, dazzling, and heart-thumping.

Xue Yuan suddenly lowered his head, holding Gu Yuanbai's face to look into his eyes.

Gu Yuanbai froze for a moment, his words stopped abruptly, his eyes were puzzled, reflecting Xue Yuan's face.

"My lord," Xue Yuan said in a low voice, "it's agreed, no matter where you go, you have to take your minister with you."

The corners of Gu Yuanbai's mouth couldn't help but twitched, he touched Xue Yuan's Adam's apple, and said with a smile: "You are good. If you are obedient, I will take you there."

"..." Xue Yuan sighed, "Your Majesty, I can be obedient no matter what, if I continue to be obedient at that time, I will die."

Gu Yuanbai opened his lips, and before he could speak, Xue Yuan asked sincerely: "It's really uncomfortable, don't you like it?"

"I like it," Gu Yuanbai said honestly, "It's just that you are too rough and your hands are too rough."

"Fuck," Xue Yuan cursed in a low voice, and immediately said, "Don't talk about it, my lord, I want a beast."

Gu Yuanbai: "..."

The two quarreled for a while, deliberately playing around.Then they hugged each other and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Xue Yuan woke up suddenly. He inhaled and exhaled heavily, and pressed his forehead against Gu Yuanbai's, feeling the spray of his breath. After a long time, the feeling of suffocation in the dream still remained. in mind.

He had the same nightmare again.

Gu Yuanbai was half awake and half dreaming, as if he felt his panic, stretched out his hand instinctively, and hugged Xue Yuan's head tightly, "My master is here, don't be afraid."

Xue Yuan was pressed and buried in his arms, his eyes widened, he recovered from a daze for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

In the dream, the terrifying scene of landslides, mud and dust flying away slowly dissipated.

More than ten days later, the Northwest Army returned to the northwest from the coastal navy.There was also a letter from the front, reporting that the soldiers in Xixia were gathering together, and they might attack Daheng from the rear.

Gu Yuanbai declared frankly in the morning that he wanted to go to the imperial conquest in person.

There was an uproar in the court.

Ministers one after another came out to stop them, begging on their knees with tears in their eyes.After coming down to the imperial court, groups of twos and threes continued to go to the Xuanzheng Hall to exhort them.

But the sage had already made up his mind, and he couldn't convince everyone about the school's reform, so he explained the rest of the reasons one by one.It has been ten years since Jingping, and it will be 11 years soon. Daheng's two generations of emperors have never led troops to conquer in person, and the majesty of emperors has gradually been ignored. Such an opportunity is extremely rare in Gu Yuanbai's eyes, and he cannot miss.

Those who can be persuaded are persuaded by the Holy One, and those who cannot be persuaded do not need to be persuaded by force.Half of the imperial court are loyal Baohuangtang. They are willing to take a step back, but they still worry about the safety of the Holy One.

Gu Yuanbai is not someone who does not listen to the suggestions of his courtiers. The courtiers are worried that something will happen to him. Even if Gu Yuanbai has enough confidence, he still has to leave a safe guarantee for the courtiers.

Two days later, he picked out five children from the clan's mansion to enter the palace.

The clan's mansion was vaguely aware of something, so it was very excited, and repeatedly told the children to respect the Holy One, treat the Holy One as close and respectful as a parent, be sensible and polite, and never play childish temper.

The five children were timid after being taught a lesson, and they didn't dare to raise their heads when they met Gu Yuanbai all the way into the palace, for fear that they would be the disobedient one.

But the Holy Majesty was amiable, not only accompanied them for a stroll around the imperial garden, but also kept them for dinner, and the dinner was all meals suitable for children.

The five children gradually relaxed, and they also showed some lively nature when talking with the Holy Majesty.When it was time for them to leave the palace and go back, the Holy One rewarded them with many things and watched them leave with a smile.

The children held the rewards, their little faces blushed and they left holding the palace man's hand, showing joy from the bottom of their hearts.

The palace servants cleaned up the dishes, and Tian Fusheng brought a cup of tea to the Holy Majesty, "What do you think of these young gentlemen?"

Gu Yuanbai shook his head and sighed.

On the second day, five other children from the clan's mansion entered the palace again.This time Gu Yuanbai had already been waiting in the gazebo in the imperial garden, surrounded on all sides, the brazier was lit, and it was as warm as early spring.

When the children arrived outside the gazebo, Gu Yuanbai withdrew his hand from Xue Yuan and ate the sticky petals in his mouth, "Half a bag a day, no more."

Xue Yuan treasured and counted the petals, distressed, "My lord, there are only three and a half bags of dried petals left at my minister's place."

Gu Yuanbai was startled, "I have exposed more than a thousand famous flowers for you!"

Xue Yuan clicked his tongue, "Less."

As the sound outside got closer, Gu Yuanbai asked Xue Yuan to go out.Xue Yuan lifted the heavy cotton cloth, and after walking out, he met a little boy.He frowned, feeling that the child was a little familiar, seeing Xue Yuan looking at him, he saluted politely.

Strangely, the children in the clan's mansion are all royal family members, so they should only salute courtiers who occupy the position of Marquis or members of the royal family according to their seniority and position.Xue Yuan was neither a member of the royal family nor a knight, he raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and looked at the child condescendingly, "Do you recognize me?"

"I happened to see it on the day when the general's squad returned to court," the child said slowly, "the general is very brave, and I am very yearning."

He said yearning, but his expression was very calm. He looked like he was only five or six years old, but he could already say flattering words without blushing and heartbeat. He was really a talent.

As for this child, he could faintly see some imitation of the Holy Majesty, Xue Yuan pursed his lips, and said deliberately: "The Holy Majesty also said that about me."

The child raised his head abruptly, with a surprised expression on his face. He was cautious but couldn't hold back his excitement, "Did Your Majesty praise the general as much as I do?"

"The Holy One also praised me for being very brave," Xue Yuan said meaningfully, "Let me not slack off and climb to the peak again."

The child couldn't hear that General Xue said nasty words, he was only very happy that he and the Holy One said the same thing, he laughed foolishly, then straightened his face, and said slowly: "General Xue, you are So, you have to climb to the top.”

This child really admires and likes Gu Yuanbai very much.

Xue Yuan took it for granted, Gu Yuanbai was so good, it was natural for a little child to respect him.This is not enough, everyone in the world should respect and love Gu Yuanbai so much.

But Gu Yuanbai can only be his.

Originally thought that getting close once would temporarily stop the greed and longing for a moment, but the fact is completely opposite, Xue Yuan became more and more fascinated by Gu Yuanbai, so fascinated that he could lose his soul just by looking at him.Gu Yuanbai hooked his fingers, and Xue Yuan's heart beat like a drum.How is this better than ever?Obviously more than ever.

The wolf's ambition was concealed, Xue Yuan stepped aside and let the children from the clan's mansion enter the gazebo.

As soon as the five children entered, the Holy Majesty put down the books in his hand and smiled at them, "Are you suffering from the cold?"

The children blushed and shook their heads cautiously.Gu Yuanbai asked them to come forward, and several of them saw the Holy Majesty one by one. When one of the children called "Uncle Emperor", Gu Yuanbai was startled suddenly, "Did I see you somewhere?"

The serious child saluted Gu Yuanbai, but the tips of his ears were already red, "Uncle Emperor, my nephew once saw you in the summer palace."

Gu Yuanbai remembered.

When he was supported by Xue Yuan to the door of Concubine Wan's bedroom, one of the children in the clan's mansion exclaimed in surprise, "The emperor's uncle is here!"

It is this child.

Gu Yuanbai thought of Concubine Wan, suppressed his melancholy, and smiled a little more gently. He patted the child's head, "What's your name?"

The child tried his best to look calm, "Uncle Emperor, my nephew's name is Gu Ran."

"Gu Ran," Gu Yuanbai nodded lightly, and said with a smile, "good name."
