Looking for green hills

The two of them got up early the next morning, and Xiaoqing felt nostalgic for it. She searched every place in Qingshanju, tidied up the bedding in the bedroom, tidied up the books in the study, and tidied up the dishes and chopsticks in the back kitchen. Scrub it again, and only after finishing these things did he say to Gu Yuanshan: "My lord, let's go."

When he was doing this, Gu Yuanshan was watching him from the sidelines. There was something unclear in his eyes that he could not explore. Gu Yuanshan wrapped him in his arms and kissed him softly, and said in a deep voice, "I built a new Qingshan residence in the capital for you. It's next to Plum Blossom Pier in the south of the city, and everything is arranged according to this place, and the courtyard is full of green bamboos, so you don't have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion anymore, we have a home now."

"Really? You don't have to go back to the Hou Mansion anymore?!"

"Really," Gu Yuanshan grabbed his ass and walked out the door, scratching his lips, "From now on, it doesn't matter if you want to call me A Yuan, kiss me or hug me, you don't have to worry about anyone anymore, be happy ?"

"Happy!!" Xiaoqing rubbed against his arms again, and said loudly, "I'm so happy!"

"Since I'm happy, can I trouble this little fairy to cast a spell and send me back to my home in the capital?"

"No problem, hehe, young master, hold on tight to me!" Bi Xiaoqing silently recited a formula, and in an instant, the two of them landed outside Meihuawu in the capital, in front of Gu Yuanshan's new mansion.

There is a very large courtyard, much larger than Qingshanju. There is a red plaque on the lintel, with the three big characters "Qingshanju" written on it, written by Gu Yuanshan himself.

Xiaoqing excitedly pushed open the gate and ran into the courtyard, only to see that the layout of the courtyard was exactly the same as that of Zhaoyao Mountain, with stone tables and benches, streams and bamboo forests, all exactly the same.

What's more, Gu Yuanshan ordered people to plant green bamboos in the courtyard. Bamboos were planted in the backyard, front door, and porch, as long as there was an open space, Xiaoqing was dazzled by the greenery of the garden as soon as she stepped into the courtyard. After a while, he looked left and right, inspected almost every bamboo, and then he calmed down and muttered in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not as beautiful as me."

"What did you say?" Gu Yuanshan held his forehead behind him and smiled lowly. He turned around and ran in front of Gu Yuanshan, staring at Gu Yuanshan, "Don't laugh! You, you, you... don't you like bamboo very much? Why? There are so many bamboos planted here?! You are not allowed to like other bamboos, you can only like my bamboo!"

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, I only like your bamboo, okay?" Gu Yuanshan lovingly took his hand and wanted to lead him to the bedroom to have a look, but he suddenly stood there in a daze, his eyes flooded. red.

"What's wrong? Is the wound hurting? Why are you crying?" Gu Yuanshan bent down and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Stop crying."

"You said just now that you liked me... woo woo woo... You've never said that before..." Xiao Qingwo cried in Gu Yuanshan's arms.

Gu Yuanshan lowered his head and kissed him, comforting him: "Don't cry...don't cry..."

On the second day after returning to Beijing, Qingshan Residence welcomed its first visitor—the angry Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Yousi was really in a state of desperation recently. Gu Yuanshan ran away on the second day after he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, leaving a mess that he had to clean up. In addition, what Ulan said that day also made him restless. He sent people to investigate secretly, and in just half a month, he was worn down by these trivial things and lost several catties.

These two days happened to be taking a rest, and he heard that Gu Yuanshan had returned to Beijing, so he rushed to look for Gu Yuanshan.

Jiang Yousi was led by Yun Sheng to the backyard, and he saw that the whole courtyard was full of green bamboos, which was full of greenery. When he saw Gu Yuanshan, he forgot to get angry, and the first sentence was: " Why are you planting so many bamboos at home?"

Gu Yuanshan was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I especially love the bamboo in the eaves, and the wind blows and rings."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if I knew you love bamboo so much, I should bring two pots of green bamboo leaves when I come, and enjoy the bamboo while tasting wine, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"No! You can't drink Zhuyeqing, it's too cruel!" Xiaoqing suddenly ran out from behind Gu Yuanshan, and looked at Jiang Youpan innocently with wide eyes.

Jiang Yousi asked without knowing why: "What's so cruel about drinking Zhuyeqing? Firstly, no life was killed, and secondly, no blood was seen. It's just a pot of sake."

"But Zhuyeqing needs to pick bamboo leaves to make wine, and the bamboo will hurt!" Xiaoqing turned her head and asked Gu Yuanshan, "Is it right?"

Gu Yuanshan nodded while holding his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, you are right."

"Ah? What is this all about?" Jiang Yousi looked at him and he couldn't make sense of it.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, please sit down." Gu Yuanshan pulled Xiaoqing to sit opposite Jiang Yousi, "I have troubled Mr. Jiang during this time, what happened in court?"

Jiang Yousi put away the smile on his face and nodded, "It's something troublesome, it's about... Ulan."

"Oh? Isn't he still in confinement? What can happen?"

"I don't know what method he used to coax the emperor to cancel his confinement. It doesn't matter. He also brought in a batch of hard-earned BMWs from Dayan. The emperor was overjoyed and gave him a lot of rewards. You know Dayan The most lacking thing is horses, he brought in more than 100 horses at one time, and this is only the first batch, there will be a second batch and a third batch after a while."

However, Jiang Yousi did not tell Gu Yuanshan the whole story. The people he sent secretly found out that there were dozens of people from Dayan who entered the territory of Dayan along with this batch of hard-earned horses. These people disguised themselves as horse trainers. As soon as it entered the territory of Dayan, it disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Yousi hadn't detected the whereabouts of these people yet, so he couldn't be sure what they were going to do. However, he recalled what Ulan had said to him in the porch that day, and he panicked for a while, but he couldn't tell Gu Yuanshan, he He was afraid that Gu Yuanshan would immediately take unfavorable measures against Ulan after hearing the news.

Although Gu Yuanshan had promised him that he would let Ulan live, if Ulan really did something that threatened Dayan's national security, Gu Yuanshan would never tolerate him, so Jiang Yousi must do something irreversible in Ulan. stop him before it happens.

Gu Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is indeed difficult, he has relieved the emperor's urgent need, and the emperor will naturally value him."

Jiang Yousi said again: "But it's not unsolvable. To please the emperor is nothing more than doing what he likes. Mr. Gu, think about it, what is our emperor most obsessed with right now?"

"What?" Gu Yuanshan asked.

"Xiu Xian asked, the emperor has rarely dealt with political affairs in recent years, except for some important occasions where he will show up, other political affairs are basically handled by the Hanlin Academy for him, have you seen that the palace is full of smoke all day long , Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes can be seen everywhere on the palace road... It is not without reason that Dayan is weak and poor now." Speaking of this, Jiang Youpan shook his head helplessly.

"Then what do you mean by matching what you like?"

"I heard that there is a very famous alchemist in Jiangzhou who can use the sulfur fire method to refine elixirs. Not only can he strengthen his body, but he can also achieve enlightenment and immortality. , but it would be great if the elixir he concocted can really strengthen the body. Now that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, we must make early plans. I have already sent people to find this alchemist. "Jiang Yousi paused after finishing speaking, then turned to look at Xiaoqing, "Mr. Xiaoqing, can you bring me a pot of hot tea? I'm not in good health recently, so I can't drink cold tea."

"Okay, you wait for me here." Xiaoqing went out after finishing speaking.

When he walked away, Gu Yuanshan asked in a deep voice, "What else is there?"

Jiang Yousi said in a low voice: "You are very angry at Lijing Princess this time. She has been advising you for a long time in the palace to help you get the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, but you ran away without saying a word. The Princess told me Let me tell you, this is not an example."

Gu Yuanshan looked out the window and replied lightly: "Got it."

Jiang Yousi said again: "Master Han of the Ministry of Rites has been ill recently, and I think he is about to die. We have to hurry up and prepare for the fall. Although the Ministry of Rites seems dispensable, we can't let it fall into the hands of the aristocratic family anymore. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry are all from us, if we can take down the Ministry of Rites, it will definitely be of great help to your success in the future."

"Well, we have to think about how to do it in the long run." Gu Yuanshan looked up at the window, and the sky that had only cleared up in the morning turned cloudy, "It seems that Mr. Jiang is going to rain when he returns."
