[Wuxia] On System Traversal Errors

General's Mansion,

Gu Xichao hadn't been out of the General's Mansion in the past few days. Firstly, he really had nothing to do after taking up an errand in the Imperial Academy. Secondly, Mr. Lin had already been busy with his affairs, so he no longer wanted to do it for him. Add more trouble.When he was in the limelight, the best policy was to seldom show up.He used to be smug and thought that he must do a great career in Chang'an, the capital, and become a man above all others, so that those who looked down on him in the world would regret their blindness.

He thought that no one would remember Gu Pan'er in Chang'an 20 years later. In fact, if someone hadn't deliberately mentioned it, Gu Pan'er would indeed have disappeared in the rumors of Huajie and Liuxiang.It's not that he was not cautious enough, in this court where there are so many storms, he is just a swaying boat against the current, his personal power is too small, even if he is behind him Standing is Lord Lin, since Lord Lin is a general, all his forces are in the frontier, and above the court, even though he is highly valued by the emperor, his background is not enough, and he is still not enough to compete with the forces in the court. If there are people in China who really want to fight against this little guy like him, or in other words, they don't want to compete with this little guy like him. As far as the court is concerned, it has to be accepted.

He calculated a small gamble for himself.As Lin Ziqing said, Gu Xichao has a lot of thoughts. The environment in which Gu Xichao grew up determined his character. Too much.Fortunately being a disciple of Master Lin, it can be said that it was indeed more than Gu Xichao expected, and it was a real accident. However, Gu Xichao has many ways to turn the accident into a good advantage, and he has a plan in his chest. , one step at a time, ten calculations, but he is the best scholar in the world.

Before the early years, there were rumors that Mr. Lin disdained the opinions of gentlemen, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the relationship with the bosses of various commercial firms was always good. There are criticisms, but the reputation among the common people and traders has always been good.

It can be said that Gu Xichao is betting, he is betting whether his own disciple has a dispensable status in Lin Ziqing's eyes. Undoubtedly, Lin Ziqing is a person who cherishes talents very much, but it is true that Master Lin cherishes talents. A talent whose future is almost gloomy, will he still be the honest and upright Master Lin who is admired and respected by Qianqian's students, and will he be the one who is regretted, who has enough value in his eyes retained talent.

However, up to now, even he himself seems to have lost a lot of self-confidence.He even once questioned whether he really has the value to protect a young general who is almost an extremely powerful minister?The choice between marbles and pearls in your hand, isn't this choice already clear?Becoming an abandoned pawn, could this be his final fate in the near future.

Shen Tan has been standing at the door of this study for a long time, looking at the seemingly insignificant person lazily leaning against the door on the side of the study, with a playful look on his face, he said that he is a scholar and a scholar , but more like a real rich dude.

Shen Tan turned to Gu Xichao and laughed lazily and said, "I heard that Brother Gu, you are acting like a boudoir who doesn't leave the door, and doesn't step up the door, but?"

Gu Xichao rolled up a copy of "Multiple Laws of War" in one hand, and his eyes, which were gentle but sharp, glanced at Shen Tan. Gu Xichao frowned slightly, and then raised his eyebrows With a pick, he opened his mouth and laughed a few times, and then he couldn't help but sneered and asked: "How can the words of a family in the world be taken seriously?"

Shen Tan is like a real soft-boned person nestled in that disciple. Most of the servants around him have been sent out, so they don't have any scruples. Shen Tan's eyes couldn't help turning, and suddenly Asked: "Do you know what has been widely rumored in the market recently?"

Shen Tan said in a tone that was almost ridiculed: "You and I are from the same family after all, you are so indifferent, wait for others to see, do you think that we are not in the same family?"

Gu Xichao glanced at Shen Tan coldly, the coldness between his brows became even more serious, and he showed a sarcastic look that was almost sharp.

Although he and Shen Tan are from the same school, the relationship between them is not deep.In Chunwei's examination room, there were indeed a few encounters. At the time, I thought that he was just a smooth person who knew etiquette. However, after only meeting each other for a few days, I have already refuted my previous conjecture in my heart.

Shen Tan said: "A few days ago I was sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and I managed to solve a few small cases. After a month, the teacher discussed with me that I would go to Qinghe County to be the county magistrate for a year or two. If I want to, I can re-enter Come and help him."

Speaking of which, Shen Tan always subconsciously pretended to be gentle and courteous when facing other people, but when facing acquaintances, all kinds of images disappeared. But at this time, when facing Gu Xichao, he suppressed his gentle or playful smile, and showed a rare and serious expression, and sighed: "I am the son of a merchant, You are the son of a prostitute, and you are despised by scholars and criticized by others. In recent days, I often think that if the teacher I met in Chunwei or the palace examination that day was not a teacher who was not a teacher, I would still Wouldn't I have the achievements and future I have today, would I be who I am today."

"I've thought about it for a long time...but I took it for granted, no." Shen Tandao couldn't help but said with emotion.Indeed, not everyone can easily and completely trust a person, he Shen Tan can't, and Gu Xichao especially can't.The environment in which they were born and grew up determines their disposition, which is almost suspicious.

Gu Xichao seems to be gentle and refined, he is a rare gentleman in both civil and martial arts, even a gentleman with both talents and virtues, only those who know him well can barely understand what kind of cruelty, cruelty and viciousness is under the surface of the gentle scholar Unforgiving countenance.

If you want this person to treat others sincerely, I'm afraid...it will be a big difficulty in the world.

however……

Then Shen Tan couldn't help sighing slowly: "Nowadays there are rumors that Gu Pan'er had an affair with Mr. Gu's family 20 years ago. It turns out that this year's Xinke's Tanhualang is the son of General Lin's old friend."

Before the words finished, a black chess piece in Gu Xichao's hand finally... suddenly fell down.

……

Lin Ziqing and Li Lu and Li Shilang went out of the Hall of Qinghe together. Before parting, Li Shilang finally couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "Although I knew you were always shameless, I don't know when you became so shameless." How far?" Li Lu's facial features were already sharp, but at this time he forced a smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be an indescribable irony.

But Mr. Lin, whose facial features have always been soft and handsome, has a serious face that can no longer be straight, "Well, to be honest."

Li Shilang couldn't help but twitched again, "Your Majesty should be so angry with you sooner or later."

Master Lin pondered for a moment, and his tone was strangely erratic for a moment, "...No?"

"..."

Li Shilang said again: "Sometimes, I really feel that I don't even want to experience what it's like to be an official in the same court as you."

Master Lin waved his sleeves and patted his official uniform a few times, his eyes flickered again, and then he said slowly: "I know."

Li Shilang said: "Perhaps you can try to talk to the Holy One more gently next time."

Li Shilang stretched out his hand almost to suppress the throbbing veins on his forehead, then he gritted his teeth for a moment, finally he seemed to straighten his face, and said: "Just for a little Tanhualang, you have spent so much effort, He almost risked the disgrace of the world, is this person really worth it?"

Li Lu really didn't know what Lin Ziqing had said to the emperor in the Hall of Qinghe. He only knew that when he entered the hall, he saw an emperor with an almost ashen complexion.

But in the end, it turned out to be just for a little Tanhualang.

Lin Ziqing is really sure that the emperor won't touch him easily?If it really offended Shengyan, if...

"I don't want to ruin him." After a moment of silence, Lin Ziqing finally said slowly, "So, I can only try to win him over."

Li Lu opened his mouth, he wanted to ask, how could this scholar named Gu, He De, be so valued by him, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to ask.Of course Li Lu felt that Lin Ziqing was making a fuss out of a molehill, even though he had heard a lot about this year's rumored Tanhua Lang who was able to speak both Chinese and martial arts, but after all, he was just a scholar from a lowly family background, the son of a prostitute born in a brothel. How much vision can you have?After all, Li Lu was born as an ordinary child, and he still has a certain value for the system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Speaking of which, as for Master Lin's rare two disciples this year, it can be said that he may be somewhat disapproving.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are the lowest, Shen Tan is just the son of a merchant, as for Gu Xichao... the son of a prostitute, let's just leave it alone.Moreover, the two of them had more to do with martial arts. Shen Tan's wife was the only daughter of Wenjian Villa in the martial arts, and Gu Xichao was a real member of the martial arts world.

It can be said that Lin Ziqing's evaluation of Gu Xichao would be so high now.

A talent who can only be destroyed if not won over.

Li Lu really had to wonder if Gu Xichao's household registration had nothing to do with him, Lin Ziqing, even though it was really at this stall, and no one in the Ministry of Criminal Justice could find out where Gu Xichao's household registration was. How could the officials of the Ministry of Punishment under Fu Zongshu not want to take advantage of this matter to slap this person hard?At this time, it is really a nonsense and an adventure.

The name change is not a big deal for any more or less powerful officials below, but now it has become a contest between Lin Ziqing and Fu Zongshu. Master Lin can make up a random story In fact, he is more or less showing his attitude——Gu Xichao, this person, he is sure.

As for the others, now, the issue of name and registration has been handled according to Mr. Lin's instructions, that is to say, since then, Gu Xichao is still Gu Xizhao, but it is no longer the original Gu Xichao, even if someone wants to move He also had to consider Lin Ziqing who was caught in the middle.

Someone in the court must have scolded his mother long ago. Could it be Lin Ziqing's son who gave the surname Gu? Fu Zongshu hated Lin Ziqing so much that his teeth were itchy. A foreign relative got a job from Gu Xichao, and there was one less seat in Jinshi, so he could just find someone to fill it up, but in the end, a Lin Ziqing came out on the way, who didn't like hard and soft, and his temper was as stubborn as a head. Donkeys are no different, but they are also favored by the emperor.

Said he was Lin Ziqing's son, it was just a joke, Lin Ziqing was only six or seven years older than Gu Xichao Duochi, how could he have such a big son, just complaining about this Lin Ziqing It seems to them that adults are somewhat unworthy of being a scholar, a son of a whore, to defend him like this.

If Gu Xichao's backstage had been replaced by another person, I'm afraid Gu Xichao would have been notorious in Chang'an City by now, but it was Lin Ziqing who had always caused Fu Zongshu the most headaches.

Before leaving, Master Lin glanced back at Li Shilang, and said: "Gu Xichao should have handed over the nomination certificate at your house, if you really read the "Seven Strategies" carefully, you should know what I did. reason."

Li Lu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.It is not an exaggeration to say that there are as many as stars, since he won a place in the court, there are many down-and-out scholars who have handed him certificates of recognition. It is true that he has not committed those certificates for a long time He only glanced at it occasionally when he had free time. As for the "Seven Strategies", he didn't care at all. A down-and-out scholar, he just kept thinking that he was just an arrogant lunatic.However... now, Lin Ziqing, whom he always regarded as his opponent, now told him to read a strategy book written by a lunatic, and he even began to wonder if he was really deaf.

But on this side, Lin Ziqing sighed again: "What's more, the Holy One will always use a counselor with both talents and talents in the future."

Li Lu subconsciously wanted to open his mouth and said, isn't there another you, Lin Ziqing, but when the words came to his lips, he retracted again.Therefore, after a long while, I barely recalled the meaning of it. This is... what does it mean?

Lin Ziqing was only a few years older than Gu Xichao, and at such a time, he had already thought about cultivating his own successor. Could it be... Could it be that he already had the idea of ​​retiring from the court early in the morning, The more Li Lu thought about it, the more confused he became. Fame, power, money... Indeed, to Lin Ziqing, these yellow and white things meant nothing at all, and he never had any thoughts of fighting for power.

Sometimes, Li Lu would even start to wonder what Shang Lin Ziqing was asking for in this court?The DPRK and China have always been fighting endlessly, and in recent years there has been a traitor, Fu Zongshu, but what if Fu Zongshu falls?If Fu Zongshu fell, and there would be no more loyal and traitorous disputes in the court, then... would he, Lin Ziqing, appear in the court with confidence?

Thinking of this just now, my mind was stunned for a while.

However, looking up again, Master Lin turned around and got into the carriage. The groom who drove the carriage stretched out his hand like a whip, and the wheels of the carriage began to spin, and a cloud of dust was faintly raised on the street...

"My lord." The servant next to him was already calling softly.

Li Lu carefully looked at the carriage for a few moments, then slowly turned around, then raised his hand, and said, "Go home."

……

When Lin Ziqing returned to the Lin Manor, changed into his official uniform and left the inner hall, he had already met three people when he stepped into the front hall. The first time, Yu Huang and Zhang He had already returned home. Yu Huang was sent to the frontier to inquire about information, and Zhang He returned to the army to collect some unreported military information.

The two who originally expected to rush back in half a month turned out to have appeared in front of him in just ten days.As for the other person, it is Gu Xichao. After all, Gu Xichao is much more tactful than his two generals in dealing with people. In addition, Gu Xichao is a member of the Jianghu, unlike ordinary scholars, and he has a few Very arrogant and heroic, but Zhang He and Yu Huang also remembered that Gu Xichao was originally Lin Ziqing's disciple, so they naturally valued it a little bit, and Zhang He, a talkative person, was in the middle of it, so this early in the morning , the three of them really drank happily in the front hall of the Lin Mansion.

Seeing Lin Ziqing coming out of the inner hall, the three of them got up together and cupped their hands towards Lin Ziqing, "General!" "General!" "Teacher!".

Lin Ziqing pulled his face reluctantly, it was barely visible, his face was serious for too long, even now it is not easy to try to make a smiling expression, "It seems that you two seem to be getting along with each other. It's pretty good."

As they got closer, Lin Ziqing realized that there was a fourth person in the hall. She was a petite woman, sitting beside Yu Huang. Yu Huang's frame was already huge. the figure of the woman.

Yu Huang even tried to pull his arm out of the woman's arms in embarrassment, but the woman murmured a long list, and turned around and pulled Yu Huang's sleeve pitifully.

Seeing that the general noticed the woman beside him, Yu Huang immediately had no choice but to cup his fists and said dryly: "The one who was rescued on the Huangtupo halfway was a Rongdi man."

Yu Huang subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang He. In the past, these tedious verbal matters were all said by Zhang He, and now he was the only one present who knew Rong Diyu. Looking over his head, he seemed to be talking to Gu Xichao who was at the side, his eyes were lowered, as if he hadn't noticed Yu Huang's gaze that was almost asking for help.

Lin Ziqing put his hands to his lips and coughed a few times, the woman from Rongdi gave instructions and then the servant girl in the mansion took him down.

"General." Zhang He subconsciously glanced at Gu Xichao, who was smiling but silent, and Lin Ziqing shook his head slightly, indicating that he could continue talking.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hefang said slowly, "General, Huang Zi and I followed your instructions and found out after walking around the frontier that your expectations are indeed right. He was a fierce general under General Yang. As for Leng Hu'er and Xian Yuqiu, those two bastards under Fu Zongshu's subordinates were probably...somewhat ill-intentioned. Rong Di's side finally calmed down, and his teeth were on the side. But the battle continued. These two bastards have always been very sneaky, and I don't know what they are planning. As for Rong Di..."

Yu Huang took a step forward, and then he interjected: "The general's expectations are indeed right, there is indeed a civil strife in Rongdi, they are somewhat overwhelmed, and they must not be able to make much trouble recently.

Yelvmu has passed away, and now his third son, Yelvzheng, is succeeding him. After Yelvzheng succeeded to the throne, Yelvmu's fourth, second, fifth, and sixth sons died violently one after another. Most of Yelvmu's daughters have been killed. Yeluzheng sent to make marriages, most of them were from the surrounding small countries, and several other princesses were sent to Yake in exchange for food in Rongdi, and Fuling... the seventeenth princess of Yeluwan voluntarily offered to go to our dynasty to make a marriage of. "

Zhang He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he touched his nose to express that he was done.At first, he was thinking, could it be that Fu Ling, a beautiful little girl, really fell in love with their General Lin because of fighting in a few battles, so much so that she wanted to commit herself to her, but how could...

Zhang He couldn't help sighing, but in the end, he was afraid that he was looking at the powerful forces behind the general, so he wanted to be willing to attach himself.

"Xi Chao." General Lin sat down slowly at a table, but suddenly called out.

There seemed to be a flash in Gu Xichao's eyes, and he cupped his hands slightly, and called out hesitantly, "Teacher."

Master Lin immediately responded casually, "En."

After being silent for a long time, Gu Xichao couldn't help but twitched his face soon after, looking at Mrs. Lin who seemed to be staring at him for a while, hesitantly opened his mouth and asked: "Teacher...do you want to hear the students' opinions? "

Master Lin then said: "Well, you continue to talk."

Gu Xichao: ...

Lin Ziqing was thinking about Gu Xichao, but when he saw Gu Xichao frowning, it seemed that when he started to think, he couldn't help but change his mind.

A few years ago, Rong Di had a big battle with the imperial court, and he returned in a big defeat, his vitality was greatly injured, but at this time, civil strife broke out in the court, and the third son of Yelumu, Yeluzheng, succeeded to the throne. At this time, Yeluwan voluntarily went to China to get married. On the one hand, she naturally wanted to avoid the big turmoil of seizing power between the court and China. Rong Di's plan to fight against the rebellious officials and thieves who killed their father and brother.

After Yeluwan offered to make a marriage proposal, she did ask Lin Ziqing to go and marry, but then insisted that her husband-in-law must return to Rongdi with her.

Knowing that the emperor could not let go of an important minister in the court and a general who went to Rongdi with his relatives, he still insisted on Lin Ziqing's marriage. Yeluwan was not a fool. Marriage, I'm afraid she has no intention of getting married, she can only delay as much as possible, and then...

Lin Ziqing couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, - this woman's ambition seems really big.

On the other side, after thinking about it for a while, Gu Xichao had a plan in his mind, and when he raised his head slightly, he already showed a bit of aloofness, and he also had an unmistakably handsome face. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, his phoenix eyes were smiling, and then he slowly said word by word: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong."

"This girl's original intention was not to get married, but to borrow troops. This girl... intends to be king."

The folk customs of Rongdi are much more open than that of the middle land. In the history of the kings of Rongdi, there is no history of women becoming kings. With Poria, it is also the reputation of the seventeenth princess Yeluwan in Rongdi. There is a certain amount of troops, but it is not completely impossible to resume the game.

Borrowing troops to restore the country is not just empty talk.
