Han Shizu

Chapter 355

The horse's hooves stepped on the weeds covered with hoarfrost at a constant speed. As he rode on the horse, Guo Rong's figure shook slightly as he walked forward.With only a few cavalry accompanying him, as the envoy of the Zhenning army, Guo Rong's travels are as simple as his clothes.

"Except for the time when the disaster was alleviated, I have never seen you in such a happy mood!" Pan Mei, who looked handsome, followed her on a horse, and said to Guo Rong with a smile.

"Huh?" Subconsciously touching his cheek, Guo Rong asked with a smile, "Can Zhongxun see my mood?"

Pan Mei nodded and said, "It's beyond words!"

Taking a breath of white steam, Guo Rong regained his majestic look, and said, "Zhongxun, tell me, where does my joy come from?"

"Does your lord want to test me with this?" Pan Mei responded immediately: "Although I have poor knowledge, when I face you, I can also see that the emperor values ​​the confidant of your lord. what!"

Glancing at Pan Mei, Guo Rong didn't show much surprise on his face, but his eyes flickered lightly, and he said with an inexplicable emotion: "Hong's favor is so frightening. For reward"

Guo Rong's voice was very low, and Pan Mei couldn't hear it very clearly, so she couldn't help casting a puzzled look.

Guo Rong seemed to be thinking about it, and looked at Ma Renyu, who still showed a childish look on the other side. The young man had a serious expression, as if he was learning from him in normal times, but his ears were pricked up, and he listened seriously.

Both Pan Mei and Ma Renyu defected to join the army when Guo Rong was released to Chanzhou two years ago. They were discovered by Guo Ronghui's eyes, discovered in the army, and kept under the tent, as confidantes.Pan Mei is a few years younger than Guo Rong, but she is calm, assertive, and extremely organized. As time goes by with Guo Rong, she has good opinions in everything.

As for Ma Renyu, he is even younger. He was less than 15 years old when he followed Guo Rong. He has a bold personality, hates learning and loves martial arts.However, the talent of a titan has been revealed. After two years of growth, his physical strength has increased greatly, which is amazing.

Guo Rong attaches great importance to these two people, and he often takes them by his side and trains them carefully.

Hitting the reins lightly on the horse's neck, Guo Rong thought for a while, and said to the two of them: "You have been with me for two years. Ning’s national power, but there is not much room to use it. Zhongxun is known for his wisdom and strategy, and Ren Yu is brave and brave. They are all heroes in the world. If you follow me again, I will only delay you. I would like to recommend you to the Tokyo Imperial Army as generals. Find a family background and establish a reputation."

After Guo Rong said it, Ma Renyu became anxious, his face flushed, and he asked loudly: "Your envoy is trying to drive us away? If there is any fault between the two of us, please tell me clearly that you will correct it. Please also Let the king take back his life."

Ma Renyu and Pan Mei were both impressed by Guo Rong's ability and bearing, and they were a little puzzled by his prominent words.

Compared to Ma Renyu's bluntness, Pan Mei was calmer, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Does the envoy have other considerations? Or is it related to this face-to-face?"

Looking at Pan Mei who was concentrating on her thoughts, Guo Rong couldn't help secretly praising her sincerity, but he didn't intend to explain too much.No matter what, there is no doubt about finding a promotion for the two of them.

Seeing that Guo Rong refused to speak clearly, Pan Mei said again: "Now the two of us are just pawns in the envoy's tent, and we are penniless. Even if we go to Tokyo, I'm afraid it will be hard for us to make a difference. If you want to make great achievements, I'm afraid it's better to follow By your side, earn the merits of suppressing bandits and thieves, protecting the environment and the people!"

"Exactly! What brother Zhongxun said is extremely accurate!" Ma Renyu hastily echoed.

Obviously, neither Pan Mei nor Ma Renyu wanted to leave Guo Rong, their benefactor.

Regarding Pan Mei's consideration, Guo Rong waved his hand directly, and said: "My father is the head of the Privy Council, and he is in charge of the military aircraft. I will write a letter. Please take care of it. Are you afraid that you two boys can't be arranged well?"

When he said this, Guo Rong couldn't help showing a little seriousness on his face, as if he was worried.

Pan Mei and Ma Renyu opened their mouths and wanted to speak, but Guo Rong raised his hand to stop them, and said solemnly: "I have made up my mind, the two of you should stop making excuses. Besides, I recommended you in front of the emperor last night. Your Majesty also agrees. Do you want to resign and let me commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"This"

When Guo Rong said this, Pan Mei and Ma Renyu looked at each other dumbly, showing reluctance, but they didn't dare to say any more.

People have no immediate worries, but long-term concerns.Guo Rong is a very smart person, and during his daily correspondence with his father Guo Wei, there are also discussions about the Guo family.His father and son, one inside and the other outside, hold great power, are honored and favored, among the foreign ministers, there is no one more powerful than him, and has been discussed by people.

Because of this, his father and son coincidentally wanted to keep a low profile and be careful.This interview, it can be seen that Liu Chengyou's attitude towards him has not changed much, and even more affectionate than before.However, this cannot conceal Liu Chengyou's "goodwill" appearance, the deeper the city, the more unpredictable.

Last night, I talked with Tianzi Bingzhu often, chatting about military affairs, Liu Chengyou's understatement, unintentionally showing confidence, strength and unquestionable, that kind of ambition that is so strong that it swallows the world, and now I recall it, and I still vividly remember it.

At the time of farewell, I called him Your Highness, but on the day of goodbye, I have become Your Majesty.This is probably the biggest difference between before and after.

Pass Yedu and enter Yuancheng.

This is the first city that Liu Chengyou has entered since his northern tour.Yedu stayed at Gao Xingzhou and led his subordinates to greet him. Liu Chengyou did not refuse this time, and put on a little pomp. After all, coming from the north showed his sense of the emperor's presence, which was also one of his political goals.In an important city like Yedu, the effect of improving the sense of presence will be much greater.

In order to show his trust and honor to his old father-in-law, Liu Chengyou invited him to ride in the imperial chariot and enter the city together.Gao Xingzhou refused because of the distinction between superiority and inferiority, but he couldn't bear the emperor's toughness, moved and grateful, and respectfully went up to Luanjiao.

In the simply renovated Ye Palace, Liu Chengyou received civil and military generals, questioned the military administration, paid attention to people's livelihood, and made a speech in public with the central idea of ​​"the way of governing and the way of being a king". nice effect
He also issued an edict to find a group of people covering all industries in Yedu to enter the palace, meet them in person, ask them about the people's conditions and life in gentle words, and ask them to explain all the problems and difficulties, and use them as a reference for his future governance adjustments.
Of course, the above is just a matter of form.

At night, after returning from the imperial banquet in Ye Palace, Gao Huaide took a leave of absence and personally helped his father back to the mansion.Holding his father's arm, he could clearly feel that Gao Xingzhou's body was not as strong as before.After all, as he gets older, he suffers from repeated hidden injuries, and he also has the appearance of military and political affairs.

The originally joyful mood turned into words of concern.

Sitting in the back hall, Gao Xingzhou looked at his son who was wearing the armor of the Forbidden Army, and asked directly, "How is your sister?"

"I have been pregnant for eight months, and I will give birth at the end of the year. My father will have a grandson from the Tian family."
