The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 257
For the first time, Guo Youning clearly dissected the predicament he didn't want to talk about with Guo Jia, and put it bluntly in front of her, "If we want to maintain the current balance, the Guo family must do nothing, but we must not favor one side."

Guo Youning looked at Guo Jia with deep eyes, and said in a heavy and low tone, "Once this balance is broken, more suspicions and greater disasters will follow."

"A greater disaster..."

Guo Jia chewed on these words, and raised his eyes lightly, "Is there any greater disaster than the whole country falling apart, the country disappearing, the family disappearing?"

Guo Youning was taken aback, raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Guo Jia stared fixedly at his stern father, clenched his hands tightly.

For a moment, she wanted to pour everything out!
Wu Fang's betrayal, the Guo family's overthrow, his own ups and downs, hiding in Tibet, and under Xu Xiangfeng's power, he finally went to destruction, and the Wu'an mountains and rivers were swallowed up by Xi Rong...

But she finally endured it.

"Unspeakable."

The people back then had warned her so.

So when she talked with Yan Qing, she never really said anything.

But when the words come, the meaning stops.

"You should have not heard from Nanjiang for a long time, right?"

Guo Jia took a deep breath and asked softly, "One month? Or two months?"

Guo Youning was startled, and looked at Guo Jia inquiringly.

"Caiwei told me."

Guo Jia rolled her eyes and poured tea for Guo Youning, "You didn't order to keep it from me, so I asked Caiwei to ask about the news from Yanying."

Guo Youning looked Guo Jia up and down, took the teacup hesitantly, turned his eyes away and drank the tea in one gulp, his shoulders relaxed, and heaved a long sigh.

"Since you intend to let me take over the affairs of Beijiang, why do you have to imprison me in Yangcheng?"

Guo Jia's eyes were heavy, and his voice was low and forceful, "You should be very clear that now that the successor of the Wen family's royal family is in danger, the Wu'an forces must be reshuffled. If the Wen family falls, the power of the imperial family will inevitably fall into the hands of the Xu family who have been operating in Beijing for many years." If we don’t join forces with Yan Qing to eliminate Xu’s family at this time, when will we wait?”

"It is precisely because there is no news in southern Xinjiang that we should not act rashly!"

Guo Youning frowned and growled at her, "A centipede is dead but not stiff. Although the Wen family is lonely, as long as they sit on the throne for a day, they will be the king! If he wants you to come to Beijing, can you not follow? If you don’t follow, that’s resisting the decree! That’s going against the party! That’s the second Li Dingshan!”

"When your mother passed away, you were young, and your uncle wanted to marry a wife. There were no relatives in the Guo family in Beijing who were suitable for raising you, so they let you go out of Beijing."

"Now that you are an adult, your aunt is dignified and virtuous. If you call you back to Beijing, you will find a good son-in-law. Everything your mother planned for you before she died will be in vain."

Guo Youning stared at Guo Jia, and told her word by word, "You are my lifeblood. He knows Wen Liang very well!"

"Now, he just doesn't want to tear himself apart so quickly. He still feels that Yan Qing is under his control, and he still needs me to help him get along with Si Ni."

Facing Guo Youning's rare cold expression, Guo Jia didn't look away at all, "That's why I have to follow Yan Qing to the border."

Guo Youning's pupils shrank, and he slammed his palm on the table, but Guo Jia was told to stop his anger in his heart.

"Father, we have no choice."

Guo Jia looked at the furious Guo Youning, and slowly said, "The net was cast when the imperial decree came out of the capital."

"Now, the fisherman is going to draw the net."

In the defense department, Guo Youning was sitting on top of the courtroom, and from the corner of his eye he glanced at Yan Qing who was standing below the hall from time to time, his mind was full of what Guo Jiatong said to him last night.

Wu Fang wanted to delay and destroy the evidence, so why didn't she, Yan Qing, need time to pave the way for herself?
As soon as he took office, he uprooted a poisonous insect that had been entrenched in northern Xinjiang for several years, and abolished the second-in-command in northern Xinjiang. Who would have to weigh his own weight in his heart, is it enough for her to calculate?
After signing the appointment document and affixing the official seal, when Guo Youning handed over the appointment letter to Yan Qing, he couldn't help but look at her again.

Although the weather-beaten but still immature face is still showing a sickly whiteness, against the not-so-hard outline, when the eyebrows and eyes are stretched, it even gives people an illusion of gentleness.

Was it affected by this illusion?

It made them all forget that she was the only "rebel" in that rebellion who retired successfully.

This time, he was not wronged.

Guo Youning glanced lightly at Wu Fang who was standing aside from the corner of his eyes, and then said to Yan Qing: "The military dispatch rights of the three border fortresses in the north of Jingmo in northern Xinjiang are hereby handed over to Mr. Yan. May the three cities be governed by your lord." Down, long-term peace and stability."

Following the old practice of taking office as an official, Guo Youning said the clichés in the officialdom, "As an elder, I need to remind the adults, remember to live in harmony with the prefects of the three cities, and to govern civilly and militaryly, so as to ensure peace for one side."

"Thank you Lord Hou for your suggestion."

Yan Qing thanked him, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

After Guo Youning finished his routine, seeing that Yan Qing had no intention of leaving, he glanced at Wu Fang and began to push people away, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go back to the mansion first and prepare your bags for the north. I'm afraid I won't be here any later." Arrived within the deadline."

"Not urgent."

Yan Qing, however, put away Ren's book and sat down in the hall, "It's been a while. I'm young, and I rarely go to places like the Defense Department. I'm afraid that I will go to the border town without experience, and I want to follow Hou. Learn from my grandfather for a day."

Guo Youning and Wu Fang looked at each other, Guo Youning pouted at him.

Wu Fang looked at Yan Qing, and was about to speak when he heard a muffled sound of drums outside the door.

"what happened?"

Guo Youning asked something, but his eyes fell on Yan Qing involuntarily, "Who is beating the drum of injustice?"

As soon as the words fell, a yamen servant hurried in from outside the door, "Master Hou, the magistrate, please..."

The yamen servant paused, took a peek at Wu Fang, and then continued, "There is also Master Wu, let's go to the yamen."

"what happened?"

Guo Youning and Wu Fang looked at each other, and asked the yamen servant jokingly, "Your family has settled the case for many years, and there are still unjust cases that he can't solve?"

"This……"

The yamen servant hesitated, "I'd better invite the two of you to go for a walk, humble job...it's hard to say."

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's really..."

Guo Youning laughed and looked around at the people around him, but none of them agreed with him, feeling bored.

"Didn't Master Hou teach Qing to make friends with the prefects of the cities?"

Yan Qing smiled suddenly and said, "It's just that Qing is stupid, and I hope to observe and learn how to communicate with the magistrate."

Guo Youning choked, and the evasive words came to his lips, and he had to swallow them again.

It seems that today, no matter what, there is no way out.

"Then let's go."

Guo Youning got up slowly, talking and laughing nonchalantly as usual, "Anyway, it's just across the door, and it's not far away. Let's go for a while, and when I come back, I can go back to sleep early after I finish approving the official documents."

If only I could sleep early...
