I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 100
Gu Yuanbai looked at the group of assassins carefully and said, “Send people to continue searching the surrounding area to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.”
The guards responded in unison with a solemn face, and then quickly searched the surrounding area, and indeed found a few “fish that had slipped through the net” that had not escaped.
The servants of Xue Mansion knelt in a row, each one lowering his head and saying nothing. Gu Yuanbai’s tone was mixed, “Are you all together?”
The servants in the Xue Mansion looked at each other in confusion. The man kneeling at the end spoke up and said respectfully: “Your Majesty, you guys are not the same as this group of assassins.”
Gu Yuanbai asked coolly: “Then who are you?”
“You guys are all from the Xue Mansion,” the young man said, “You are here this time on the order of… Young Master.”
The second young master obeyed the orders of the eldest young master. They really didn’t know which young master to name, so they just vaguely mentioned it.
When Gu Yuanbai heard the word “Xue Mansion”, he was about to frown, but suddenly he felt blessed and sneered a few times, “A person sent by Xue Yuan?”
There was a bit of surprise on the boy’s face.
really.
It wasn’t enough for Xue Yuan to let go of Gu Yuanbai, he also sent people to keep an eye on Gu Yuanbai’s whereabouts? What was he doing? He wanted to keep an eye on what Gu Yuanbai did and treat the emperor as his property?
The Holy Emperor’s expression changed back and forth, with anger rising slightly, but no matter how you looked at it, he didn’t look friendly.
The young man in the Xue Mansion seemed to know what he was thinking, and quickly explained: “Your Majesty, the young ones dare not pry into the Holy Spirit. We followed Lord Chu here.”
Gu Yuanbai’s face froze.
After a while, he suddenly smiled softly and said, “Very good.”
Seeing his expression, the young man was frightened, so he had an idea and said: “We have no ill intentions, we are just here to protect Mr. Chu!”
The excuse of protecting Mr. Chu is better than the truth of killing Mr. Chu.
The male protagonist of the original text sent someone to follow the male protagonist of the original text to be the victim. This is normal, nothing more than normal. They are a perfect match. Xue is far away in northern Xinjiang, so he should send someone to protect Chu Wei.
L.
When Chu Wei heard this, the corners of his lips curled up into a sneer, and he almost easily thought of the reason why Xue Yuan did this.
Because Xue Yuan went to Northern Xinjiang and because Chu Wei stayed with the Holy Sage, he couldn’t stand Chu Wei. There is no one everywhere on the field road. Are you planning to kill him here?
Just when Chu Wei was about to laugh out loud, Gu Yuanbai really believed it. He said: “Since it is a private matter between you and Mr. Chu, I will not get involved and you can handle it on your own.” After saying that, he smiled slightly. With a smile, when his eyes passed over the servants of Xue Mansion, these servants felt cold all over and shuddered involuntarily.
Gu Yuanbai returned to the palace peacefully. The assassins were held down by the guards and immediately prepared for interrogation.
As soon as the Holy Emperor walked back to the palace, the two wolves wanted to rush up and howl and act coquettishly, but Gu Yuanbai ignored them and walked to the table as if he hadn’t seen them and sat down.
The two wolves seemed to sense his mood, and walked to the table with their tails between their legs and lay down. Gu Yuanbai had no expression on his face and casually pulled out the memorial and read it.
The people serving in the palace already knew about the assassination of the Holy Emperor, so they kept their mouths shut and acted cautiously. The palace was getting quieter and quieter, and the sound of breathing seemed to be clearly audible. After a while, there was a sudden sound of a memorial being slapped on the table. Tian Fusheng was startled and subconsciously looked up.
Gu Yuanbai noticed his gaze and smiled, “Why are everyone so nervous?”
Tian Fusheng’s voice was tight, “You guys are all worried that you will be angered by the assassin.”
“What’s so annoying about this?” Gu Yuanbai laughed. He threw the memorial that he had just slapped on the table on top of the corrected first-base memorial, and said slowly, “They are all a bunch of low-class people, not worth letting go.” I’m angry.”
Okay, Tian Fusheng thought silently, he was indeed angry. The Holy One would not talk like this on weekdays. He was as gentle as if he would not lose his temper. Those assassins were really capable, and they made the Holy One so angry.
While waiting for the guards to interrogate the assassin, Gu Yuanbai took out another memorial from the bottom, opened it and saw the handwriting was flying, and his eyes turned cold. When looking at the contents inside, a sudden sneer overflowed.
There are obscene words throughout the article, and ambiguous and charming words throughout the article.
Xue Yuan, you are really good, you are really great.
He ran to me and confessed his love to me, told me that he liked me over and over again, ran a long way to me and went crazy in front of me, went to serve me, kissed me and told me that he would fight for me.
Then secretly, send people to follow Chu Wei to protect your destined good brother.
What a good Xue Jiuyao, what a good General Xue.
The first piece of snow in northern Xinjiang, fuck your first piece of snow.
Gu Yuanbai directly threw the book on the ground.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace stopped breathing, and they all knelt on the ground, “Your Majesty, please calm down.”
Gu Yuanbai stood up, touched the jade finger on his hand, and looked at the memorial coldly and condescendingly.
Xue Yuan can dislike Gu Yuanbai, pursue Chu Wei, or like anyone he wants to like. But he shouldn’t send such a letter full of passionate emotions to Gu Yuanbai, and at the same time go back and forth with Chu Wei.
You are pursuing me passionately and at the same time you are entangled with another person. Gu Yuanbai thinks it is extremely ridiculous.
Even now, it is equivalent to Gu Yuanbai paying Xue Yuan for free, but as soon as Xue Yuan made this move, the relationship between the male protagonist and the subject in the original text clearly appeared in front of Gu Yuanbai’s eyes. Gu Yuanbai’s anger was suppressed, as if he himself He was the one who was prostituted.
Are you treating me like a fool?
“Burn.” Gu Yuanbai suddenly said.
Tian Fusheng responded. Just as he was about to bend down to pick up the memorial on the ground, Gu Yuanbai said again: “No, it would be a pity to burn it. Give me all these things and retreat to northern Xinjiang one by one. Whoever wrote it will be given to me.” Retreat into whose arms.”
His voice became colder and colder, and he found the letters that Xue Yuan had sent in the past that were almost gathering dust one by one and threw them on the ground, “Tell him. If he dares to write such a word to me again, I will kill him directly.” he.”
Tian Fusheng responded softly, lowered his head and picked up the memorial on the ground with trembling hands. There happened to be a page of letters open in front of him. Tian Fusheng glanced at it inadvertently and saw the words “I miss you so much that I dream about you” at the top. He was so frightened that his heart jumped and he quickly closed the letter. He moved his eyes away, not daring to take another look.
Gu Yuanbai was already sitting in his seat, twirling the white jade finger on his thumb. He remained expressionless and silent, his majesty making the air tense.
Finally, the person who went to interrogate the assassin came over and said with a strange expression: “Your Majesty, those assassins said that they were sent here by the Xixia envoy.”
Gu Yuanbai stopped turning his jade finger, raised his eyes to look at the guard, and pulled his lips, “Messenger of Xixia.”
very good.
Here comes the punching bag.
*
The guards have never seen anyone stupider than the Xixia envoy or this group of assassins.
But they didn’t care whether the Xixia envoy was carried away by the excitement of the moment, but immediately took the order and went to surround Mingshengyi to capture the Xixia envoy.
The Forbidden Army in heavy armor ran quickly towards Mingsheng Post, approaching Mingsheng Post with sharp weapons. In the palace, all the ministers quickly rushed towards the Xuanzheng Hall, following His Majesty the Emperor’s thoughts and urgently formulating strategies.
The envoys of Xixia tried to assassinate the emperor, but everyone got the stolen goods. It was a heinous crime! From now on, they are the criminals of Daheng. They need to be imprisoned in Daheng as criminals and need the Emperor of Xixia to redeem them!
Time was running out, so Gu Yuanbai directly made the final decision: “Five thousand good horses, ten thousand cattle and ten thousand sheep, five million taels of silver, and three million stones of grain. Let the Emperor of Xixia empty the treasury to redeem!”
The Holy Lord’s tone was full of murderous intent. All the ministers thought that the Holy Lord was assassinated by Xixia envoys. Some of them were confused: “Holy Lord, what should I do if the other party doesn’t give me so many things?”
“Let’s talk slowly then,” Gu Yuanbai, “If he doesn’t give it, then just wait to receive his son’s body and my army!”
A big taboo for military strategists is to start a war between two armies. Now that the border is in a hurry, Daheng cannot go to war with Xixia, but it must peel off a layer of Xixia’s skin no matter what.
In a place like Xixia, these things are almost their entire treasury.
It would be best if Xixia’s treasury did not have so many things. Emperor Xixia doted on the seventh prince Li Angshun. It would be best if he loved his son as much as his life and forcibly expropriated the money of powerful people.
On the way the Xixia envoy was brought back by the imperial army, the ministers had already argued back and forth several times about compensation. Seeing that they were still struggling with the amount of compensation, Gu Yuanbai took a sip of tea and said lightly: “My lords, have you forgotten that the Xixia envoy gave you gifts?”
All the ministers were stunned.
“The night pearl, a rare medicinal material, a rare thing that can only be seen once in a hundred years,” Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled, and said softly, “Xixia people are rich.”
yes.
The ministers suddenly realized that Xixia was rich.
They tasted it and looked around at the surrounding ministers. The old man in the court was sitting leisurely on his seat, sipping the catechu specially made by the Holy Spirit. He was enjoying himself and was so happy!
The quarrelsome people came to their senses and stopped arguing. They all sat down to catch their breath and sip the delicious hot tea. After feeling at ease, Mr. Huang, the Confucian scholar who had been the most quarrelsome before and felt that the compensation should be reduced even further, smiled naively and said, “Then, Your Majesty, the amount you have set now is a little too small, isn’t it?”
“…” Gu Yuanbai said slowly, “It’s quite a lot.”
The Privy Councilor sighed: “Master Huang, although Xixia is rich, it is a small place after all. I think the quantity set by the Holy Lord is just right. Don’t be afraid to speak louder first. If the Emperor of Xixia really can’t get it, we will do it.” Heng will be considerate and considerate of them, and you can lower them appropriately.”
“That’s right,” Councilor Zhengshi nodded seriously, “Our country is a country of etiquette after all, and we must be tolerant and considerate of others.”
Mr. Huang stroked his beard and said happily: “That’s right.”
