Lord Shoufu, your wife has escaped!

Xiao Yu rushed to the Xiongnu, and the ministers of a country guarded the frontier, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Li Hongyuan secretly met Gu Mingzhou in the restaurant outside, and asked him how he moved Xiao Yu.

That's right, in fact, Li Hongyuan wanted Xiao Yu to go to the Xiongnu to supervise the army a long time ago, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in the whole country.

Yu Taiqing was too old, how could he stand such ups and downs, it was difficult for a young man like Gu Mingzhou to show Li Hongyuan's determination to go to war, only Xiao Yu was suitable.What's more, when Xiao Yu was young, he went to the battlefield with the late emperor several times, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he has obtained the true biography of the late emperor.

But it happened that Xiao Yu was Zhang Li's remnant party, Xiao Yu felt that the emperor did not trust him, it was true, but Li Hongyuan was unwilling to show this clearly on the table, causing Xiao Yu to be too dissatisfied, so he never took the initiative to bring up this matter thing.

In the end, it was just going to Gu Mingzhou's place to drink some wine, and Xiao Yu actually volunteered?If Xiao Yu himself had such a state of mind, he would not believe Li Hongyuan even if he killed him, then the turning point must have been what Gu Mingzhou said to him.

Gu Mingzhou just smiled mysteriously without saying a word, and practiced Tai Chi casually, pushing the topic away.

Li Hongyuan was not too discouraged, he smiled and said, "Where is Bai Yuxin, why didn't you come with me?"

"Back to the emperor, he is managing the shops in the capital, and he also has some government business," Gu Mingzhou said, "If His Majesty doesn't bestow upon him the title of Emperor Merchant, I'm afraid he can rest now."

Li Hongyuan glared at him, wearing a strip to wipe his forehead, and said displeasedly: "What you said, is it my fault? Then you say that he has made such a great contribution, and he is not rewarded as a businessman." Convenience, what is the reward? Silver or an official position? I don’t even ask your daughter-in-law if she likes it or not.”

Gu Mingzhou chuckled: "Yes, yes, thank you Lord Long En, it's my minister who said something wrong."

The crowd in the tavern came and went, and the laughter of the drinkers could be heard more and more in the private room.

Li Hongyuan lowered his voice and moved closer to him, raised his chin: "Let Bai Yuxin come over too, it's interesting to drink with multiple people, isn't it?"

Gu Mingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Does the emperor want to drink with my wife, or do you want him to work for the emperor?"

"Tsk, what are you talking about, is it humiliating him to do things for me? Besides, why do you do things for me? It's for the benefit of the world!" Li Hongyuan was serious, "It's just a little wine and a chat. Can't you?"

"No," Gu Mingzhou resolutely refused, "I don't like my wife drinking with other men, my wife is so good and so outstanding, what if you get evil?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Hongyuan's face immediately changed, and he glared angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! This word has reached Feng Zichu's ears, and I can't stop talking to you!"

Gu Mingzhou smiled, his eyes were kind: "The melon fields are plums, the emperor should restrain himself."

Li Hongyuan had nothing to do with him, so he had no choice but to give up struggling: "Okay, I just want him to do something for me, is there a problem?"

Gu Mingzhou shook his head again: "Bai Yu can't trust a mere commoner, how can he bear the heavy responsibility of a country? I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

"Then what do you want, why don't you confer a title on him?" Li Hongyuan laughed angrily at him, "I want him to do something, but you're pushing back and forth here, can't you really make me angry?"

Gu Mingzhou was scolded by him, but he still didn't rush, and raised his eyelashes lightly: "It's okay to confer a title..."

Li Hongyuan: "..."

Well, wait for him here, this is bargaining with him!

At this time, Li Hongyuan couldn't help but recall that Gu Mingzhou who contradicted the minister of the country on the spot during the palace examination.At that time, he actually thought that this was a passionate young man who was dedicated to fighting for his ideals, so he didn't know how to adapt.

Looking at it now, the hot-blooded youth and the ignorance of flexibility are all fake!

This fellow Gu Mingzhou is not only shrewd, he is extremely shrewd!

Li Hongyuan stared at him and didn't speak for a while. If ordinary people saw the angry appearance of the emperor, they would have knelt down and cried and begged for mercy, but Gu Mingzhou not only stopped crying, but even his expression didn't change. with.

"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, you keep your promises, don't forget."

Li Hongyuan was furious: "I didn't agree to anything!"

"Hey, Your Majesty, you have to think about Bai Yuxin's difficulties," Gu Mingzhou said with a considerate face, putting himself in his shoes, "Without money subsidies and strong guarantees, how can he be used by the Emperor with confidence?" ?”

"If a businessman is involved in the court struggle, he will lose his head if he is a little careless. If he doesn't even have this kind of support, how can he fight on the front line with peace of mind? As a businessman, the most important thing is the exchange of interests and feelings It's useless, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Seeing Li Hongyuan's uneasy expression, Gu Mingzhou immediately said: "Actually, why do you have to trust Bai Yu? There are so many talents in the world, and the emperor can choose someone with less qualifications to serve the emperor faithfully!"

Li Hongyuan choked immediately.

What he wants is to be able to disturb Yanghai without bloodshed, so as to cover the actions of the army, and before the Huns are dealt with, Yanghai cannot be allowed to launch a mutiny against Daxing.

With this ability, who else in the world besides Bai Yuxin?If he hadn't been available, why would he have come here to drink with Gu Mingzhou in a low voice?

Blackmail, this is Chi Guoguo's blackmail!

Really maddening!

However, Gu Mingzhou is sure that he must believe in Bai Yu, leisurely sipping his wine and eating some peanuts, the smile on his face is as annoying as it is.

However, Li Hongyuan still had nothing to do with him.

"The title is the title, but it's agreed, and if you get my title, when you live and die for me in the future, you are not allowed to complain!"

Gu Mingzhou's plan succeeded, he laughed immediately: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

That afternoon, when Bai Yuxin returned home, he hadn't sat down for a while when he heard a loud noise, but a father-in-law came over with an imperial decree.

He was taken aback immediately, and said, "Gu Mingzhou hasn't come back yet, do you want to rest for a while, father-in-law?"

The eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Bai Yuxin accepts the order—"

Bai Yuxin was stunned, and knelt on the ground, only to hear the eunuch's crow-like voice drawn out, speaking word by word.

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that..... Bai Yuxin, Jingyun Town, Huizhou, is bestowed upon you as the Lord of the State of Feng. This is my honor!"

Bai Yuxin thanked him instinctively, and when he got up, all the servants behind him screamed in surprise, they couldn't believe that such a thing would happen before their eyes.

And Bai Yuxin was even more confused.

He didn't do anything, why did he get a title from the sky?
