I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Gu Yuanbai never knew that he would have a day of collapse because of others.

He is such a calm person, but now he can only express his sadness in large quantities, and he is like a pile of floods exceeding the river bank, rushing down from a height.

Xue Yuan felt the hot tears pouring down his face. In the darkness, his heart seemed to be soothed by these silent tears.

"Yuanbai, don't cry."

Gu Yuanbai tried his best to suppress the vibrato, "Sleep."

Gu Yuanbai was here, Xue Yuan hadn't felt so at ease for a long time, he obediently closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

As soon as he fell asleep, the snoring began.The gate of Gu Yuanbai's emotional opening was tightened amidst the sound of snoring, he withdrew his hand, his eyelids were swollen, and when he looked down, Xue Yuan's face seemed to have been washed by his tears.

"Tian Fusheng," the voice was hoarse, "bring water."

The eunuch, who had already heard the noise outside the door, walked in with water in fear, and wiped his face after serving the Holy Majesty, with his eyes lowered, avoiding the Longyan who had cried before the Holy Majesty.

When Gu Yuanbai spoke again, he had already calmed down, "Say, should I let him go?"

Tian Fusheng said cautiously: "Master Xue's name has been recorded in the Zhengshitang."

Gu Yuanbai was silent for a long time, then put the towel soaked in warm water on his eyes, and sighed wearily: "I'm not going to let him stay either."

Gu Yuanbai is a proud person, and so is Xue Yuan.Gu Yuanbai understood him, Xue Yuan didn't want to go on the Silk Road again, he just didn't want to leave Gu Yuanbai.

Xue Yuansheng was afraid that he would become Gu Yuanbai's stain, so he worked hard to make contributions, trying to become a capable minister worthy of Gu Yuanbai, and someone Gu Yuanbai could rely on.

Gu Yuanbai's merits are so numerous that he can count them on his fingers. From the time he established the crown to eliminate the treacherous minister Lu Feng to the present, Wenzhiwugong has more contributions than the same one.Now is the time of peace and prosperity, Xue Yuan has done all the things that Xue Yuan can do in the past two years, but they are all small achievements, which are far from enough.

In addition to external transfers or qualifications, the Silk Road is now the biggest road to crime.If the Silk Road can be rebuilt, it will be a credit to the history, and Xue Yuan's name can be firmly remembered by Gu Yuanbai's side.It is precisely because of this that so many officials have embarked on the journey despite the dangers.

Missing this opportunity, even if it is the second time to re-walk the Silk Road, it will not be as much credit as this time.

If it is said that they stay in the capital to gain qualifications, but Xue Yuan will be impeached if he sleeps in the palace, and he will endure it for more than ten or twenty years... By the time they are not afraid of being impeached by Yushi, how old are they?

I'm afraid I'm getting old.

When the youngest love is the hottest, one has to be careful when eating and sleeping for fear that outsiders will find out. This is not Gu Yuanbai's style, nor is it Xue Yuan's style.After all, credit is still needed. With credit, Xue Yuan will have the confidence. It is far from being suitable for the monarch and his ministers.

Only when a certain height is reached, the intimacy between Xue Yuan and the Holy Majesty will not become a stain, but will only be praised without leaving a stigma.

Gu Yuanbai let himself think about things in Xue Yuan's place, and got a close grasp of his thoughts.A sentence that Xue Yuan once said to him appeared in front of his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a weak smile, and he felt his eyes were hot again.

When Xue Yuan wakes up, he wants to have a good talk with Xue Yuan.

Don't do this anymore, continue like this, he will never believe other people's words that love is sweet in the future.

"Bring another basin of water."

Tian Fusheng respectfully responded, brought a basin of warm water and went forward again, Gu Yuanbai washed the handkerchief, wrung it dry himself and wiped Xue Yuan's face.

Xue Yuan was already so tired that his eyes were black and his face was much thinner. I don't know if his body can bear the weight loss caused by heart disease.

Gu Yuanbai concentrated on it, Tian Fusheng watched from behind, hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "If the Holy Majesty does not want Master Xue to travel far, you can also go to Ningxia and Gansu."

"Northwest General Zhang Hucheng has been guarding the Northwest for two years," Gu Yuanbai said, "There are still many factions in Ningxia and Gansu who secretly want to restore the country. They have been making small moves. Zhang Hucheng is in the Northwest. They dare not make big moves because of the army. , This is Zhang Hucheng's credit, others can't take it away, even I can't send people to intervene halfway so carelessly. Now that the world is peaceful, those who should be rewarded for the previous military achievements have been rewarded. If you want to make meritorious service, how can you be so easy to establish Woolen cloth?"

"Except for Zhang Hucheng, the officials who went to these two places were busy quelling the local chaos and came to ask me for credit. They first set foot in the land of Xixia, and they were all full of energy, vying to make credit. Let's talk about Shaanxi, and the merged state is also The management is very stable. The corrupt officials in Daheng are corrupt, and now no one dares to stand out, and Yushitai is also doing well, so how can it be easily mobilized."

Tian Fusheng's lips fluttered a few times, and he regretted, "It's a little stupid, I said the wrong thing."

Gu Yuanbai shook his head and asked him to go forward to change the towel and change the water, "He is anxious, and I am also anxious. It is not easy to have a confidant in front of you. Once he starts to exert force on the court, it will be difficult for a person staying in the palace." It's not surprising that someone is staring at him overnight. But if I let him stay silently by my side, as a small imperial guard, a great talent, how can I do this?"

Just let go.

Like is respect, you have to let him go, no matter for public or private.It would be a pity if Xue Yuan's talent was not used. Gu Yuanbai's heart that loves sages cannot do such a waste of things.

Tian Fusheng had a sore nose and began to wipe away his tears, "It's too hard for you and Mr. Xue."

Gu Yuanbai couldn't help laughing. He took the handkerchief and continued to wipe Xue Yuan's hands. His fingertips passed between his fingers and wiped the scars on his palm. "...It's not difficult. There are clothes to wear and food to eat." , Jiangshan Taiping Haiyan Heqing, where is there any difficulty? Tens of thousands of people in the world are on my shoulders, and I am looking forward to the day when he can really shoulder the burden for me."

The big palm in his hand twitched suddenly.

The sun was setting and the night was getting darker.

Gu Yuanbai fell asleep next to Xue Yuan at some point, and when he woke up, he was being hugged by Xue Yuan and sitting on the beauty couch in front of the window.

There is a thin blanket in front of me, and the moon outside the window bends like a ship on a long voyage.

Xue Yuan's hair slid from the side to Gu Yuanbai's chest, the pale moonlight was like swaying water waves.Gu Yuanbai leaned on Xue Yuan's chest, listening to the frogs outside, enjoying the tranquility of the moment leisurely.

With the top of his head resting on Xue Yuan's chin, Xue Yuan loosely put his arms around the Holy Majesty, "I know the Holy Majesty's mind now."

Gu Yuanbai said leisurely: "Did you just know?"

Xue Yuan couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed his hair, and suddenly said: "I am willing to go, and I also want to return early. Torturing myself also makes the Holy Majesty uncomfortable, and it really shouldn't be. I will not do this again, Majesty, it's just that I am here Before I leave, there is one more thing I would like to ask of you."

Gu Yuanbai asked: "What?"

Xue Yuan pulled the belt around his waist, loose clothes scattered, revealing a solid chest, he picked up the dagger beside the beauty's couch, removed the scabbard, held the blade and handed it to Gu Yuanbai, his eyes were clear, "I think Let you leave a mark under the minister."

Gu Yuanbai held the dagger in surprise, Xue Yuan pursed his lips, and said firmly: "I also ask the Holy One to reward me with this gift."

After a long time, the tip of the knife touched his chest, and Gu Yuanbai whispered, "It will hurt."

Xue Yuan shook his head, "Engrave it."

Gu Yuanbai made up his mind, and following his heart, he danced the word "white" on the piece of skin in front of him.Fortunately, the strokes of this word are simple. As soon as the blood flowed out, Gu Yuanbai had already retracted the dagger.

Xue Yuan looked at him quietly. Gu Yuanbai wiped off the blood with a handkerchief, and some flowed down his abdomen into the waistband of his trousers. Gu Yuanbai asked someone to bring ointment, applied it carefully, and said: "The young man in the court Officials want to make meritorious service this time, I really don’t want you to miss it for nothing. I know why you want to make meritorious service, and I also know why you don’t want to leave, it’s just because you don’t want to... The privy envoy recommended you to me several times, and he recommended you It will be easier to get promoted after three years of transfer and return to Beijing. But three years of transfer and three years of Silk Road, the Silk Road will be more credited, right?"

Xue Yuan hummed nasally.

The bleeding gradually stopped, Gu Yuanbai said slowly: "If the relationship lasts for a long time, there is no need to be stingy between day and night."

Xue Yuan's hands trembled.

"If it's not about me, but just take the Silk Road again, would you go?"

Xue Yuan exhaled without hesitation: "I will go."

Xue Yuan has long wanted to see those foreign countries.

Gu Yuanbai smiled silently, "Let's go in peace, I'll be waiting for you in the capital."

"Does Your Majesty know the purpose of my trip?" Xue Yuan said slowly, "I always wondered if it was worth it. I have been away from you for three to five years, and my original intention has already diverged."

Gu Yuanbai smiled, "A man's ambition is everywhere, Xue Yuan, I am not an ordinary man, I am the emperor. The world will occupy a big place in my heart, parting is sad, and to be honest, I don't want you to leave But what you do is a good thing for the country and the people. Only by doing this can you stand by my side openly, making it even more difficult for me to abandon you, and you have more confidence."

"You don't want me to leave a stigma," Gu Yuanbai said honestly, "but if you really do this, you will have no personal relationship with me on the surface. Even if I don't like you or hate you in the future, you At that time, I was really speechless, I had nothing to say, I could only swallow my grievances."

While talking, Gu Yuanbai's face was filled with real worry: "If I really don't like you in the future, you have to leave yourself a retreat. I can't move you. If you want to go, you can go." , if you don’t want to leave, you can stay in the court and be your good servant.”

A person's ambition may turn him into another self. Gu Yuanbai's willpower overwhelms the temptation of power, but he can't guarantee what he will become in the future.If he really likes the new and dislikes the old, what should Xue Yuan do?

Just thinking about it like this makes my heart hurt and I feel uncomfortable.

Xue Yuan's nasal voice suddenly became thicker, "Yuan Bai, don't dislike me."

"I'm just talking about a possibility." Gu Yuanbai replied seriously.

Xue Yuan's expression changed slowly, the tails of his brows were slightly wrinkled, the corners of his mouth were lowered, and it was that expression that made Gu Yuanbai feel pain in his heart again.

Gu Yuanbai stared at him for a moment, stepped forward and kissed Xue Yuan's eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Xue Jiuyao, I once said a word to your father. The world belongs to me, and you belong to me. What do you do?" What you do is not for yourself, but for me. I don’t worry about other people, and the country that other people have seen is not the country that you have seen in your eyes.”

His voice seemed to be swayed by the waves of the moonlight, "Go with peace of mind, you must come back in full. The capital delivers letters every day, and I will wait for you to tell me about the scenery abroad and send me small things from various countries."

"Go, when you come back, no one will impeach you for staying overnight in the palace," Gu Yuanbai said softly, "I don't have to worry so much about your future, because you always have a way to stay by my side ,right?"

Xue Yuan: "Yes."

I can always find a way to stay by your side.

Gu Yuanbai kissed him affectionately, "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. If Daheng is here, I will be here. Don't worry, fly, I will always be here."

Xue Yuan hugged him and kissed him back.

In February of the next year, spring grass is flying, and everything is ready for the Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road.On this day, crowds of people gathered on both sides of the market, which was unprecedentedly grand.

There are 5000 troops and [-] horses. There are all kinds of supplies and vehicles waiting to be sold to various countries, and there are [-] households who spontaneously follow the merchants.With the sound of gongs and drums, the people who saw off the people on the Silk Road again were full of enthusiasm and emotions.

Gu Yuanbai is going to see Xue Yuan off here.
