Chapter 171 It Takes Time

It's just that it takes time.

But the most difficult thing for Gu Chaobei now is time.

Changes in the country are not made overnight, everything has to be endured slowly.When Shen Guiyan was out of confinement, the weather in the capital had already cooled down.

Wen Guozhang established a political power in the capital, proclaimed himself the protector of the king, and in the name of the young master, gathered nearby counties, and then used the capital as a base. After resting, he continued to the direction of Lizhou.

"This time, I depended on you to help me win the world." Wen Shoushan looked at the group of cronies in front of him with a smile: "Now it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

The feudal marquis worships the prime minister, gold, silver and jewels, and the guardian of the king knows how to appease people's hearts, and also knows how to make these people continue to work for themselves.

However, when looking at Shen Guiwu, he coughed lightly and said, "You can talk with me alone."

Shen Guiwu followed him to the uninhabited palace road, and heard Wen Shoushan sigh: "Guiwu, your loyalty, this king has seen, Yu Wenzhuzi defected, but you are still by my side, this king Of course I can't treat you badly."

"It's what a general should do." Shen Guiwu cupped his hands.

Wen Shoushan smiled a little guilty, looked at him and said: "I promised before that if the capital is captured, the whole family of Shen's family will be executed, so as to calm your hatred. Right?"

"Exactly." Shen Guiwu lowered his eyes and said: "The Shen family treated my mother and son badly, and even killed the late general's biological mother. The late general can't wait to chop them off!"

Sensing Shen Guiwu's anger, Wen Shoushan patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are a person who does great things, and this king also values ​​you, but the Shen family...now Yan Guifei is also a member of the Shen family, and the Shen family's power is in the capital. There are also some. Our foundation is not yet stable, let alone hurt Concubine Yan Gui's heart, this..."

Shen Shiqing's grass fell too quickly, plus he was friendly with many people in the court, and he was once a loyal monarch named by the emperor, so if he could submit to him, he couldn't bear to kill him directly, so it would be useful to keep it what.

Shen Guiwu also understood that now Wen Shoushan doesn't want to touch the Shen family because of Yan'er and because of the power of the Shen family.

Only then did he finally understand why Gu Chaobei was so determined to train the Shen family.

"Since this is the case, then the general can't mess up the whole plan of the lord." Shen Guiwu gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate can bear it."

"You know the general idea, so I can rest assured." Wen Shoushan patted Shen Guiwu on the shoulder, and walked away with a smile.

Shen Guiwu stayed where he was, and he was relieved when Wenshou Mountain disappeared.

Many officials in the capital stayed behind, and only the emperor, Yuwen Changqing and some generals escaped.The civil servants were weak and quickly accepted the rule of Wenshou Mountain. It took two months for the capital to return to its original appearance.

Shen Guiyan also used these two months to contact many people.

Wenshoushan is a thief who steals the country, and the common people know it well, but they dare not speak out.Shen Guiyan often went out of the palace, and Wen Shoushan didn't care about her, because she either went to the porridge shed, or to the cemetery outside the city, and she couldn't do anything else.

At first, he was worried about this woman, but after a long time, Wen Shoushan felt that a helpless woman would not be able to make any big waves, so he was in a hurry to organize his troops to go to Lizhou, so Shen Guiwu sent someone to look at Shen Guiwu. Return to Yan.

Shen Guiwu personally watched and accompanied her to the mass grave in the outskirts of the city.

In a big battle, there were countless casualties, and it was not easy to erect a monument. , were all buried in one place, and a mound was built alive.

Shen Guiyan stood in front of the mound, her face was a bit haggard, but her clothes were still neat, she made an appointment.

Gu Chaodong came in a hurry, he stayed in Beijing, was recruited by Wen Shoushan, and demoted to the head of the Ministry of War.After receiving Shen Guiyan's letter, she came here in a hurry.

"Swallow!"

After giving birth to the prince, he was abandoned by the emperor in the capital. Gu Chaodong felt heartbroken when he heard the news, and he hadn't been able to see him until today.

Shen Guiyan raised her head, her beautiful face was so thin that she was almost gone, but her eyes were still bright: "Master Gu."

Gu Chaodong stood in front of her, wanting to reach out to touch her, but Shen Guiwu on the side came up to block him.

"I'm being impolite, what are your orders?" Gu Chaodong asked with cupped hands.

"I'm a woman in this palace, I can't accomplish any great things, I just want you to cherish the past." Shen Guiyan said softly.

Gu Chaodong understood, it turned out that today was not a special appointment to meet him, and I am afraid that he has met many people in the court.When Prime Minister Gu left, he also said that he should pretend to surrender and stay in the capital.

Shen Guiyan too?

"I understand." Gu Chaodong saluted, but still couldn't help but look up at her: "Would it be dangerous for your empress to bring the prince alone in the deep palace?"

"No." It was Shen Guiwu who answered him this time: "Don't worry too much, I will protect your mother well."

After all, she is the dearest sister.

Gu Chaodong still wanted to say more, but Shen Guiyan had already nodded and said: "It's time for me to go back to the city. You can read this letter again when you go back, so I will take my leave."

An unsigned letter was handed to him, Gu Chaodong reached out to take it, and watched as Shen Guiyan got into the car and disappeared again.

Now that the capital has stabilized, Wenshoushan is about to leave for Lizhou.Someone persuaded him not to go there personally, but the half-hundred old man snorted and said, "Let me sit in the palace and wait for the news of your war? That's not reassuring. I'd better go in person and keep the flag open!"

"Then what about the imperial court?" Fu Xueshi asked with a frown.

Wen Shoushan looked at Shen Guiwu and said: "Let him guard, this kid followed me all the way to fight, I can trust him!"

Such a long time of hard work is just in exchange for such a word of trust.Shen Guiwu knelt down to accept the order, and promised to guard the rear capital for Wenshoushan.

The emperor didn't intend to go back to Beijing, so the army had to invite him.

Wen Shoushan led the troops to Lizhou, and the capital was temporarily managed by Shen Guiwu.But for some reason, the memorials presented by the courtiers were slowly handed over to Shen Guiyan to make changes. At first, some people had objections, but the things that were changed, whether it was decisions or suggestions, were very reasonable.

Many civil servants in the court supported Concubine Yan Gui to temporarily manage the government in place of the young master, and Shen Guiwu also turned a blind eye. When Wen Shoushan sent a letter to ask, he replied that everything in the capital was fine.

Shen Guiyan was wearing the clothes of a noble concubine, but she sat on the dragon seat, holding her son in one hand, and correcting the memorial with the other.

Gu Chaodong and others were promoted all the way up by her and became right-hand men.Zhou Fuzi and others finished lobbying the prince, and they all returned to her.

Fu Xueshi looked at the situation in the DPRK and China, and when he felt that it was getting more and more wrong, he tried to write a letter to inform Wenshoushan who was fighting.

Before the letter was sent, it arrived in Shen Guiyan's hands.

Fu Xueshi died on the bed of his own house. It is said that he recruited prostitutes at home and indulged too much.

"No wonder he doesn't like women, and always says that Concubine Yan Gui is not suitable for being involved in politics." The court official said with a smile: "It can't be seen from the face, so old..."

With Shen Guiyan's clever words, everyone only felt that this woman was somewhat ambitious, but they didn't feel that she could do anything in front of the iron cavalry of Wenshou Mountain.
