There are a lot of supernatural powers in this world, and there are many realms of longevity. If you are unlucky, and you really run into a desperado who shamelessly dares to attack the younger generation regardless of your background, then Gu Chang'an will be wronged.
"Don't worry, Master Zhenfu has said. Since you are asked to go by name, I will guarantee your safety."
"It is true that there will be a lot of old-fashioned strongmen in the rivers and lakes, but they will not have the face to fight you in the open. And... the Lord Zhenfu said that if you agree to this trip to the rivers and lakes, he will help you all the way Guardian, how are you?"
Li Xiaocao didn't expect to meet the person who made Zhenfu Shi personally protect the Dao in his lifetime.
Gu Chang'an did not expect that such a legendary old man would be willing to come out of the world for a junior like him, and even swagger through the market as his guardian.
"There is no rush on this matter for the time being. You will have to wait until you meet the Holy Majesty before you can make a final decision. After all, there are advantages and disadvantages. Of course, it all depends on your own choice."
Li Xiaocao said.
Gu Changan nodded.
After the former said goodbye, he closed the door and went out.
The flickering candles in the room were enough to illuminate the letter paper in his hand.
And on the letter paper sent by the old man himself, the news was not good.
The letter said: All the Tiankes in Qingyang Prefecture have become rebels, and all the agreements negotiated are scrapped!
Even though Gu Changan was prepared in his heart, when he saw the news, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
When Mingming left, he was already pretty sure, why did it only take a few days, and there was such a huge difference in the result?
Gu Changan couldn't figure it out, but the current conditions did not allow him to go back to Qingyang Prefecture to check it out for himself.
The letter paper in his hand was tightly clenched into a ball, Gu Changan frowned, and suddenly, the words Li Xiaocao said earlier flashed in his mind.
"The horse stepped into the rivers and lakes...shook Xiaoxiao..."
If those people from the rivers and lakes can go all the way to domesticate, then what about the players when they fall from the sky?
Gu Chang'an felt that it would not violate the original intention to clean up those who disobeyed discipline in the rivers and lakes while the horse was in the rivers and lakes.
What's more, there is Master Zhen Fushi on the side as the guardian, and the white clothes of the capital personally protect the way. Is there any place in this world not to go?
Gu Chang'an made a decision in his heart, and he didn't want to be in a hurry, but Pan Lao's letter was there, and it was the best way in front of him, it could be said to kill two birds with one stone!
……
And when Gu Changan was still distressed by the news that all the players in Qingyang Prefecture had become traitors, that Yu Shengqing appeared in the National Teacher's Mansion at this moment...
Chapter 241
"My lord, I changed my mind temporarily to cooperate with you, but I took a lot of risks. You know, our leader attaches great importance to that Xuanjing Envoy of Qingyang Prefecture named Gu Changan."
In the secret room of the State Teacher's Mansion, Yu Shengqing was dressed in a somewhat gaudy manner.
The bright red dress is very eye-catching under the light, and the rouge on her face is also a little thicker.
"I know what your principal thinks of him. It's nothing more than his talent as a god, or his right to rule a state."
At the other end of the secret room is Mr. Guoshi.
This burly man stood like a wall in the secret room.
"But I am the teacher of a country. I have more rights than him, and I have more strength than him. More importantly, I can give you more than he can do for you."
As the national teacher said, he tapped his fingers on Yu Shengqing's shoulder, and the latter only felt itchy, which was very uncomfortable but hard to avoid.
And if Gu Chang'an was here, he would be surprised to find that Yu Shengqing's realm had already entered the Xiantian realm.
Presumably it was the good fortune of the master national teacher with his hands and eyes open to the sky.
"Everyone in the world knows that nature is hard to make. In fact, for us, it is just a moment of good fortune. You can see the mountains from the shoulders of giants. Miss Yu, now to you, this old man is this giant..."
"What else does the Master have to ask for? There is a lot of trouble in Qingyang Prefecture, are you afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty has other things to worry about, but you can't do without Gu Chang'an. Gu Chang'an is about to be summoned after dawn. The sudden opening of the underground palace has changed many things."
The national teacher calculated, took out a sapphire from his bosom and handed it to Yu Shengqing.
"Using this jade as a token, you go to the Western Regions after gathering good people, looking for the Yuanshuishan Demon Sect, and tell them that the great world is coming, and it is time to release the ancestors. At that time, your people will be the Western Regions." Demon Cult, I allow you to cause some trouble for Dayan at this time."
Yu Shengqing took the sapphire, nodded, but kept it honestly without saying a word.
The person in charge doesn't have to say much.
This is what she has learned half her life.
……
Time couldn't stop, when Gu Changan woke up, he found that the outside of his room was full of people.
The leader was an old eunuch wearing a purple eunuch robe, holding an edict in his hand, followed by a group of disciples and grandchildren, both in red and green robes, full of cards.
"This is……"
Gu Chang'an looked at Shen Miao who was at the side, and the latter quickly stepped forward two steps and said in a low voice.
"The Holy Majesty has already sent someone to call you to the palace, but he asked the eunuchs to wait for you to wake up to tell you if you were too tired yesterday."
Gu Changan turned his head and glanced at the pale sky outside the window. He should not have gone to court at this time on weekdays.
At the gate of Xuanwumen, there must be a row of Huang Zigongqing whispering to each other, waiting for the announcement of the court early.
Generally, officials of the second rank and above have horse-drawn carriages to accompany them, and they wait at the door.
After all, it is the capital city, and it is said that the third-rank official of the concierge of the national teacher, which also shows how difficult it is for a high-ranking official in the eyes of these outsiders to gain a foothold in the capital city.
"Master Gu? Are you awake now? Can we let our family read the decree first, and then you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window?"
The eunuch said with a smile, but Gu Chang'an could still feel this gloomy feeling even though he was one meter away.
The latter nodded, clasped his fists in his hands, and waited with his head bowed.
Because the Xuanjing Division is a special yamen of the imperial court, any position with more than a thousand households does not need to kneel down when receiving the order, just bow your head with your fists folded.
"I passed on the decree, Gu Chang'an, Xuanjing Envoy of Qingyang Prefecture, you have extraordinary talents, and you have made outstanding achievements in just one year of joining the Xuanjing Division. I am very curious, what does such a talent look like? Is it born in the neck? With two heads and two wings on the back, if Aiqing is awake, she will go to court with the ministers, so that I can praise you well in front of civil and military officials..."
After the eunuch finished reading, he put away the decree quite dignifiedly, and then finished the copy in his hand and handed it to Gu Chang'an.
"Congratulations to Mr. Gu. You can hear the love for you from the emperor's few words. From now on, you will have to rely on Mr. Gu to support you..."
Seeing the eunuch's smiling face, Gu Chang'an took out some treasures prepared in advance from his bosom and handed them to the eunuch, smiling.
"It's thanks to my father-in-law."
"Oh, Mrs. Gu really has an exquisite heart. This is the first time I go to the capital? It won't be the case in the future, and I will definitely become the confidant of the Holy One. By then, I will really be a minister of riding a dragon. I will envy others."
It is Gu Changan's subconscious behavior to give happy money to the person who gave the imperial decree.
To be able to get a good job by the emperor's side to read out the imperial decree, at least he is a bit of a trickster.
In any case, outside, it is much better to use more small favors to win people's hearts than to run into walls with cold faces.
"Eunuch Cheng said auspiciously, I have to prepare the official uniforms to be worn in court, so I won't accompany my father-in-law any longer. The two next to me are fellow officials..."
"No need, no need, it's time for our family to go back to do business after reading the imperial decree. After all, there are many things in the palace, and there are few things that can be done."
The eunuch shied away, but Gu Changan didn't stay any longer, and followed the imperial decree team to the door and did not see him off.
Although it was still early, he needed to change into his official uniform early and wait at the gate of Xuanwumen.
After all, it was the first time to go to court, if it happened to be stuck, wouldn't it be more popular than those senior elders?
After seeing off the eunuchs, big and small, Gu Changan went back and changed into an official uniform that he had already prepared.
Looking at it, he is in good spirits and heroic.
"Only you were summoned on this pilgrimage, so this time, you need to enter the imperial city alone."
Shen Mourning sorted out the official uniform on Gu Changan, and said in a low voice.
"The saint is not a ghost of the underworld. Could it be that you are still afraid that I will be eaten?"
Gu Changan laughed.
With this smile, the few people around who were secretly worried about him became less worried.
Although Liu Qianyin has never met the emperor Lao Tzu, she has always heard the saying that being with a king is like being with a tiger.
Even if you have the best eyes and hands, as long as you are on the land of Dayan, you still have to respectfully call the man on the emperor's throne and call him the emperor.
"Master, is the emperor so scary? Why do you all seem to be afraid of him?"
Ruru looked at Master's serious expression, as if seeing it for the first time.
"You'll know when you have a chance to see it."
Liu Qianyin said.
But Ru Ru tilted her head and said, "Dad wanted to show me to see it before, but I didn't see it. After going with Dad, I only got a wooden sign."
She took out a wooden plaque that she always carried with her. It was only the size of an adult's palm, and it was black and shiny. It was engraved with ancient characters, which should be "Night Owl".
……
Chapter 242
Going to Xuanwumen is actually only a few hundred meters away, but Gu Changan is in the carriage, advancing at an extremely slow speed.
As a person personally summoned by the Holy Majesty, Mr. Gu has preferential treatment.
Regardless of the official rank, you can take a horse-drawn carriage to enter the court.
At this time, the white belly of the sky gradually broadened, and some early-rising vendors gradually set off fireworks.
Shouts began to grow everywhere, and the adults at the gate of Xuanwu were still yawning and chatting with each other.
The words are not short of the parents, they are nothing more than the affairs of the noble people who are isolated from the outside world in the courtyard.
"Master Hong, look over there."
A half-century old man in a red robe leaned against the wall and stared at Gu Changan's carriage with a meaningful smile.
The middle-aged man beside him was wearing a blue robe and looked in the direction he was pointing.
There was nothing new about it, and he said calmly, "I have heard that the Holy One has recruited a Xuanjing envoy from Qingyang Prefecture, saying that he wants to meet, but who knows what he wants to do."
"Hey! Lord Hong is silent! It is because of your unrestrained words that you are wearing a blue robe. Thinking about how dazzling it was in the court wearing a big red robe back then, hehe... now I am down."
The half-hundred old man smiled and made people feel cheap.
"Isn't it true that Mr. Lao is clearly a first-rank official of the imperial court, but he still has to wait with me, a lonely person, and the carriage is probably gathering dust in the courtyard."
The man in the blue robe said indifferently, his attention was always on Gu Changan's carriage.
"Tsk, I think it was not easy to bring you down in the first place. I spent so much time playing tricks, but it was not as good as my own words. It is such a sentence that the building will fall. No one in the court dared to mention it, but you said it alone."
The old man in red gloated over his misfortune, but Gu Chang'an was just an introduction to Hua Tou, his usual method to ridicule the man in blue robe.
Even if the latter is indifferent to his sarcasm, these are his daily entertainment.
Gu Changan also slightly opened the curtain of the carriage, looking at the many officials outside the window, the new carriage naturally gathered many eyes.
Many officials who knew the inside story even had something to talk about and started whispering gossip.
The biggest difference between these court officials and ordinary people in the market is the daily life of changing clothes, but the livelihood is replaced by office, and the usual gossip has become court secrets.
Gu Changan was alone among the many officials, and the carriage that symbolized his status always arrived late.
After a while, the sun in the east rose completely, illuminating the entire capital.
The golden sunshine covered the bluestone road, a carriage slowly approached, and the horses walked leisurely on the familiar road.
"Morning, Master Feng!"
"Greetings to Master Feng!"
One after another, the sound of greetings filled a large area. This Mr. Feng is a well-known cabinet scholar in the imperial court.
As the saying goes, peaches and plums are everywhere, and basically half of the officials are related to him.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu."
Gu Changan was still looking at the crowd in the distance, but he didn't realize that there was an extra carriage beside him, and the owners of the two carriages looked at each other through the window.
"Morning Mr. Feng, I'm new to the capital, but I failed to come to say hello, please make amends."
Gu Chang'an smiled and cupped his hands.
