Chapter 237

Just when the third young master of Yongjia Hou looked gloomy and uncertain, Gu Zhaoxue added fuel to the fire.

"If you don't believe it, I can work for you for free for three months!"

"In three months, I will let you make achievements in the Yongjia Marquis Mansion that are comparable to those of your eldest and second brothers."

"How about it?"

"If I can't do it, I will give you the head on my neck."

"But if I do it, and you become the Marquis of Yongjia in the future, I will be your first military advisor."

The look of confidence on Gu Zhaoxue's face was comparable to Huang Mao's courage to break into the White Palace in Qiuzhao.

The big man in brocade clothes stared at her with a hint of emotion in his eyes, "Are you serious?"

"If I hadn't helped you, your situation wouldn't have been worse than it is now, but I would have lost my head."

"If I help you, will I lose the position of military advisor in exchange for your Marquis?"

After a long silence, the big man in brocade finally nodded heavily, "...it's not a loss."

His breathing became rapid and he couldn't help but said, "What do you want me to do?"

"I have already made a plan for you. As long as this is completed, your limelight will definitely overshadow your eldest and second brothers."

"But just to see, do you have the courage?"

When he heard that Gu Zhaoxue was talking about the eldest and second brothers, the big man in brocade clothes also looked a little ugly.

He said coldly, "What do you dare to do? As long as it can be useful, I dare to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

"That's fine."

Gu Zhaoxue spoke slowly and told the contents of the Golden Sword Strategy one by one.

After hearing this, the big man in brocade couldn't help but his expression suddenly changed, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"You are falsely accusing the minister. If it is exposed..."

"Why do you want to be exposed?" Gu Zhaoxue sneered, "Are you brainless?"

"After this kind of thing is completed, you can completely withdraw from it, and the relationship with you will be a copper."

"But from now on, King Wei will lose one of his great men, just like losing an arm."

"You said King Wei had a broken arm, what did he want most?"

"Look for another arm." The big man in brocade blurted out, and then fell into deep thought.

King Wei had many leaders of the northwest tribes under his command, but not many of them actually held real power.

For example, the Tiele tribe, or their Tyuhun tribe.

After surrendering to the imperial court, their military power was reduced one after another, and they only had knighthoods.

There are only the Khans of the Tiele tribe and their Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

After taking refuge in the imperial court, he turned around and became a traitor and leader of the party, and then he was reused by the imperial court.

If the Tiele tribe rebels, there is no doubt that their khan will suffer a blow.

Although he may not necessarily die, it is definitely necessary to weaken the military power and recruit him into the court.

At that time, the leader of the northwest foreign tribes who really hold great power will be their Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

And he, the third son of Yongjiahou, was bound to become King Wei's favorite.

His thoughts gradually became clearer, and the big man's breathing became more rapid.

If you get the favor of King Wei, then what can the eldest brother and the second brother do to fight with him?

"I understand, I finally understand."

The big man in brocade clothes said happily: "Young lady is really talented, she can strategize and win thousands of miles away."

"Then I'll do it now."

…

Just when Shen Wuming was plotting against the Tiele tribe, the imperial court also welcomed a distinguished guest.

In terms of importance, it even exceeds the entry of Tianshi Dao into the court some time ago.

Everyone in the court was working hard to get it right, and Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites were even more busy.

Even Li Guozhong, the prime minister, was personally responsible for setting up the venue.

"I didn't expect that giant to come here in person. It is estimated that the situation at the border will change drastically."

Zheng Chengwu put his hands behind his back, looked around, and followed Li Guozhong.

Although he is the right minister.

But usually if war is not involved, the other four prime ministers are responsible for the rest.

Such as now.

Li Guozhong was extremely busy, but Zheng Chengwu followed him around like a little kid.

He was still mumbling in his mouth.

Li Guozhong was helpless. After instructing his men to set up the flower bed, he turned to look at him.

"Right Prime Minister, can you shut up?"

Li Guozhong's head was full of black lines, "Don't you see how busy I am? Can't you go do your thing?"

Zheng Chengwu shrugged, "Why are you so busy and your mouth is not busy? Can't you reply to me?"

"I'm really telling you something. If Southern Tang sent envoys here at this time, there must be something serious."

"The most important thing is that this envoy's status means something different!"

"Isn't this obvious?" Li Guozhong rolled his eyes, "Do you need to emphasize it separately?"

"If it's not important, Your Majesty would have asked me to arrange the venue myself."

"Am I free?"

"The papers for the recent imperial examinations haven't been marked yet, so I have to be responsible for them."

Although the imperial examination was the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, Li Guozhong was equivalent to being in charge of leadership.

In charge of matters such as the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, he was considered the general person in charge of the imperial examination.

In particular, the Spring Examination was so closely related that even the Minister of Rites did not dare to make his own decisions and had to ask him for instructions.

This has made him the busiest among the five prime ministers these days!

Zheng Chengwu had nothing to do. Some time ago, there was some friction at the border of Yan State.

But recently it has become strangely calm.

Especially with the Southern Tang Dynasty sending envoys to the court, everyone began to think about outside moves.

For example, the Yan State has also sent troops to go to the waterway to collude with Hou Shu, or to contact foreign tribes in the grasslands.

There are even rumors that people from the Yan Kingdom even went deep into the northwest and colluded with the Northwest Demon Kingdom.

There are various rumors, but I don’t know whether they are true or false.

But there is no doubt that it was all their off-the-beaten-path moves, but there was a lot less head-on confrontation.

As a result, Zheng Chengwu was free and went to various government offices every day.

Li Guozhong rarely paid attention to him, so he waved his hand and continued to arrange the venue.

At this time, he noticed a man in black robe walking straight towards him outside the palace gate.

"Deben, what are you doing here?"

Li Guozhong raised his eyebrows. Pei Deben has been extremely busy recently. How can he have time to come to the palace?

After all, as the commander of the ANBU, he was also responsible for the safety of the Southern Tang envoys.

"Li Xiang, I'm here to find you!"

Pei Deben's face was a little gloomy, and he walked over in three steps and two steps at a time, "Something happened to the envoy."

Li Guozhong's expression suddenly changed and he quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Tell me carefully."

"When they were passing by the Qingzhou border, they were attacked by a group of people."

"The origin of the other party is unknown, but the envoy suffered heavy casualties!"

"What about that gentleman?" Li Guozhong asked quickly, "It doesn't matter if something happens to others."

"But if something happens to that adult, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Pei Deben shook his head with a livid face, "I'm injured, I won't die yet."
