Iron Armored Emperor

Gu Lie closed his eyes, and in front of him was Di Qiye in white clothes and iron armor, leading the elite soldiers of the Governor's Mansion, dismounting in front of the palace gate to bid farewell.

That way, it seems that it has not changed at all from when he voted for Chu back then.It seems that these three years are just a short moment, or it's just a mirror image, it can't be true.

That is his Di Qiye, the white clothes he put on, the iron armor fastened by his own hands, and the decree made by his own hands...

Whether he was the grandson of the king of Chu or the emperor of the great Chu, Gu Lie had made many decisions in his two lifetimes. Naturally, it is impossible for every decision to be correct. Among these correct decisions, he sent Di Qiye to northern Xinjiang to repel the assassin The Er family, it can be said, is the most difficult one.

But this is the best solution.

The Yiers survived another hungry winter, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. They sharpened their knives against the increasingly affluent Dachu, wanting to take advantage of the busy construction of Dachu, and take advantage of the autumn wind to tear off a few pieces of meat. , but also to test the bottom line of the Great Chu Emperor.

Therefore, this battle not only needs to be fought, but also hurts them so much that they dare not covet Da Chu again, at least within a few years, they dare not do it again.

The southward movement of the Yi'er tribe also allowed Gu Lie to see the inadequacies of the military system of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War. Therefore, after this battle is over, a separate Governor's Mansion will be established in the northern region. The Xinjiang Three Offices also need to be set up in the same way, hanging under the governor's mansion, and the rank is higher than that of the ten prefectures, so that the response to foreign enemies is more rapid and more mobile.

The establishment of the Protectorate of the Northern Territory and the arrangement of personnel transfers all require a person who is selfless and can represent Gu Lie.

In this way, Di Qiye is the best choice.It can even be said that it is the only choice.

The decision to send Di Qiye to the expedition was correct.

Di Qiye had also been imprisoned in the palace for too long.

Logically, it should be such a decision. In fact, Gu Lie also gave the order like this, but it has been seven or eight days since he set off, and Gu Lie is still reluctant.

Thinking back, Gu Lie felt a little helpless.He was clearly reluctant to give up, but insisted on insisting on ordering, while Di Qiye obviously wanted to go out, but because he was afraid that he would not give up, he took the initiative to back down.

But in fact, apart from reluctance, Gu Lie also had a trace of fear in his heart.

This is the beginning of the fourth year of Chu Chu, not the end of the fifth year of Chu Chu, Gu Lie understood.Di Qi was invincible in field battles, and Gu Lie also understood.But just in case...

Gu Lie didn't even dare to think about it.

The word love can always turn Bailian Steel into soft fingers, no matter how calm a person is, it is inevitable to worry about it and toss and turn insomnia.

Gu Lie sighed, grabbed the cloth tiger that Di Qiye had put on the soft pillow before he left, and looked at it.

At that time, Di Qiye saw his sad face, deliberately joked that he was like a loving mother sending her son off to war, and pinched his face to make a smile, and finally calmed down, and took the cloth tiger off the shelf, Put it on the soft pillow, turned around and hugged Gu Lie's waist actively, kissed his chin, and said, "Let it sleep with you. You can't sleep well."

Thinking of Di Qiye, Gu Lie raised the corners of his lips, brushed the tip of his tongue between his teeth, and tapped Buhuo's nose, then simply lifted the quilt and went to the small study.

Anyway, I can't sleep, so I might as well do more.

Sometimes it was just like this, Gu Lie saw off Di Qiye, and then, the Imperial College offered wine to Mr. Yong, came to ask Gu Lie to resign, saying that he would resign and return home.

Zhu Yong is getting older, and he is indeed mentally weak, especially the old problems of the waist and patella. When the wind and cold weather comes, his whole body hurts. He is also reluctant to part with the books in Tianxia Zangshuge, but he is really old.

Gu Lie had already prepared for this matter.

"You want to go back to Jingzhou?" Gu Lie always treated Zhu Yong politely.

Old Master Zhu Yong smiled: "Return to Your Majesty, yes, the capital is too cold, even the Marquis of Dingguo said it was cold, not to mention this old bone."

Knowing that Di Qiye and the old man are fixed idiom solitaire partners, the two of them are as close as friends, Gu Lie also smiled and said: "You miss him, why don't you wait for him to come back before leaving."

"Hey," old master Zhu Yong was very appreciative, "Marquis Dingguo is only at this age, my minister and him, one step earlier and one step later, we can always meet again. Your Majesty will give this minister a message, just say, my minister please He is visiting Jingzhou, whenever he comes, I wish the family all the best as a guest."

Gu Lie paused for a moment before laughing again: "Okay. Treat him well, and I will definitely bring the words to you."

Gu Lie said again: "In theory, since you are going back to your hometown to entertain your grandchildren, old man, you shouldn't bother, but I think about it, but you have to do this matter. I have a merciless request."

Zhu Yong quickly knelt down: "I am ashamed and dare not accept it, please speak, Your Majesty."

"The collection of books sorted out by Tianxia Zangshuge, I have written several copies for Renyu, and one of them was sent to Yunmengze and placed in the built Yunmeng Academy. After sorting out, I will also write and send it to you. go."

"As the old saying goes, only Chu has talent. I, Jingchu, have outstanding people, and talents are like crucian carp crossing the river. If you are lucky enough to receive your advice and open a cabinet to preach, I will be able to cultivate more talents for the great Chu."

"Master Zhu, this Yunmeng Academy, my widow, will be handed over to you?"

Hearing that he could continue to study the classics of Tianxia Zangshuge, Zhu Yong, a good bookman, could not refuse, so he laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you have tied a big carrot in front of the old man. There is no reason for the old man not to agree." ?”

Gu Lie also laughed, and put a high hat on Zhu Yong: "You are old, and your achievements will last forever."

The collection of books in Tianxia Zangshuge is not only a backup written by Youyu in Yunmengze, except for Zhongzhou, the five major examination rooms in the world, Shuzhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou, Leizhou, and Qinzhou, have all built academies, and they are going to invite everyone to sit in town and open Pavilion preaching, inheritance economics.

Yunmeng Academy happened to coincide with Zhu Yong retiring and returning to his hometown, so it was the first to prepare, and the other four places will open one after another.

Thinking of next year's imperial examination, Gu Lie pondered again, and the guards reported outside: "Your Majesty, the head of the Yan family has arrived."

"Let her in."

Yan Liuying walked in respectfully with downcast eyes, knelt down on the ground, and saluted, "Minister Yan Liuying, I have seen Your Majesty."

She mistakenly mistook real pearls for fake ones a while ago, and was beaten by Gu Lie. Everyone in the Yan family was afraid of making mistakes again, so they became more cautious and cautious, and they all handled things with trepidation.

Although Yan Liuying felt that His Majesty's beating was purely to help Marquis Ding to clear up the relationship, so that the Yan family would not "rely on" Marquis Ding, so that Marquis Ding would inexplicably gain a reputation for extorting bribes. During the magical days under Yang Ping, everyone in the Yan family was so timid that they were frightened. Some people even complained about her as the head of the family. Yan Liuying was angry and couldn't ignore it.

Yan Liuying was thinking about this, and Gu Lie also took the initiative to mention it: "Patriarch Yan is well-informed, it is really unexpected that he mistaken real pearls for fake ones."

Yan Liuying hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the Yan family came from an official businessman in the former dynasty, this top-level treasure has never been handled. As the saying goes, officials have been in office for three generations, and they just know how to dress and eat. After you are a prince, you have seen it since childhood. It’s more than what we’ve seen in our entire life. This is the Yan family’s fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

"Patriarch Yan said it well," Gu Lie said with emotion, "The former tyrant relied on officials and merchants to make a living, but forced 'businessmen and their children not to take the imperial examination', which made your Yan family shorter than the other two of the four famous lords. one end."

Yan Liuying heard the meaning of Gu Lie's words, and said pleasantly, "Your Majesty?"

However, Gu Lie changed the subject again: "Two of the four famous lords in the previous dynasty came from government and merchant backgrounds. Although they could not enter the imperial examinations, corruption and corruption in the previous dynasty made it common to buy and sell officials. Therefore, your Yan family also has many Wearing a red cap."

Yan Liuying shuddered behind her back, not daring to defend herself, she called again in a low voice: "Your Majesty."

"I, Da Chu, must never try to buy officials," Gu Lie tapped on the table, "but merchants have made great contributions to the economy, so it is against common sense to forcibly disallow the imperial examination."

"The children of the Yan family also have many Confucian scholars and talents."

Yan Liuying's emotions were fluctuated by Gu Lie's words, and when she finally heard the good news, she was still overjoyed and said loudly, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Gu Lie continued: "But after all, the imperial examination is like a fish leaping through the dragon's gate. You can choose one out of ten thousand. I have said that your Yan family is dedicated to business, and in the future, I will definitely use you. Now, I will give you a certain word, no more than three In the next year, your Yan family will become a wealthy businessman. It may not be impossible to go to the next level."

This is even more great news, Yan Liuying bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty's golden words, the Yan family will definitely do their best to travel thousands of miles for His Majesty, and for the sake of the Great Chu and the power of the world!"

"it is good!"

Gu Lie praised: "Patriarch Yan is worthy of being my great heroine. This time I go north, I have a few more words to explain, you have to remember them well."

Yan Liuying replied solemnly: "Yes, Minnv, remember."

The Patriarch of the Yan family left the palace with a happy expression on his face.

After several early court debates, the imperial decree allowing businessmen and their sons to refer to the imperial examinations was finally issued.

Zhuo Junlang, the magistrate of Qiantang, finally left the yamen after finishing his official duties all day, and headed for the luxurious Lan Mansion.

"Brother Zhuo!" Lan Yanzhi saw him, stood up from the jasper rocking chair covered with white fur, and laughed loudly, "Have you heard the good news?"

I don't know how many people rejoiced that the sons of merchants were able to enter the imperial examination.

"It's because of this good news," Zhuo Junlang bowed his hands sincerely to Lan Yanzhi, "Congratulations to Brother Lan, you have the opportunity to enter the arena for a try!"

Lan Yanzhi ordered the maid to bring the ape wine, which is hard to buy, and said to Zhuo Junlang: "Come on, I am happy today, you and my friend, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

The two of them, one handsome and the other ugly, one covered in brocade and the other in simple official robes, were unexpectedly equally high-spirited and equally matched, both young talents that should not be underestimated.

"Okay," Zhuo Junlang rarely made an exception for such great news, "Then I will stop bothering you. Is Mr. Lan here?"

Lan Yanzhi sighed: "Grandfather went to fulfill his wish...he went with my parents' tablet and elder brother's longevity card."

His parents died on the road to trade, and his elder brother was still young at the time, and has since disappeared and has not been heard from again.

Zhuo Junlang didn't want to comfort him, so he just raised his glass and said, "Drink. I know that this wine must be exquisite, so I hope Landy will not bother to enlighten me."

"This is ape wine, also called monkey wine. It is made by old monkeys on the fruit mountain. This jar can be sold for ten thousand gold."

"……How many?"

"Wan Jin."

"...Lando, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tie the backyard door and I left first."

"Sit down. You live in the yamen, where did you get the backyard gate? Besides, what do you have to steal? Being an official in Qiantang is regarded as your virtue, and you are the only one who created the world."

On this day, the guards of the army came quickly and delivered the news of Marquis Dingguo to the palace.

Gu Lie hastily unfolded the letter paper to read, and the entire letter was just one word.

Di Qiye drew a bed at random, and wrote a word on the bed, each stroke trembling several times on purpose.

"cold"

Gu Lie couldn't help laughing out loud.
