I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 112

Gu Yuanbai’s request for the amount of compensation from Xixia was really a big deal.

The transactions between Xixia and Daheng relied on Ma Yuan, but as soon as the border trade routes were built, their advantage disappeared without a trace for the Daheng Dynasty, and their confidence was gone. Is it because of this that they are like this? simply?

But Xixia didn’t know about the border trade. The more Gu Yuanbai thought about it, the weirder he felt. It was normal for Xixia to be unable to get these things in a small place like Xixia.

Five days later, the Xixia envoys who came to redeem people entered the capital. This group of people was courteous and courteous. The compensation payment in the rear stretched to the outskirts of the capital. There were several tall horses and herds of cattle and sheep. The people in the capital watched the excitement. Crowds gathered on both sides, counting the cattle and sheep with their hands.

Gu Yuanbai watched the long queue in a low-key manner among the crowd, listening to the exclamations and whispers of the people on the left and right.

At a glance, there were horses, cattle, and sheep, and at a glance he could tell that the number was definitely in the tens of millions. Gu Yuanbai frowned. Together with the gifts for his birthday and the money the Seventh Prince had squandered in Daheng, where did Xixia come from so much? thing?

Something is wrong.

Kong Yilin pointed at the leader and said, “Sir, that is the second prince of Xixia.”

Gu Yuanbai nodded: “I saw it.”

The face of the second prince of Xixia could not be seen clearly, but his clothes were ordinary. He was slightly hunched on the horse, looking as if the people of Daheng were too timid to raise their heads.

He and Li Angshun, the seventh prince of Xixia, were really two extremes.

“If the prince is weak, then these ministers who are following are powerful.” Kong Yilin frowned slightly, “Master, what preparations should we make?”

“Everything that needs to be done has been done. Let’s see what they are going to do.” Gu Yuanbai frowned and retreated from the people. “Come up and take a look. In addition to what I want, what else have they brought?” What.”

After Gu Yuanbai and others saw how many things Xixia had brought, he and Kong Yilin looked at each other, but there was no hint of joy on each other’s expressions.

On the carriage back to the palace, Kong Yilin whispered: “The adults and I originally wanted Xixia to divide the compensation amount into three batches and pay it off in installments within three years. Unexpectedly, they took it out in one go now, except In addition, I also added a lot of apology.”

Gu Yuanbai nodded silently.

He couldn’t tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. It was certainly a good thing to get the compensation, but Gu Yuanbai originally wanted to use the compensation to cause Xixia to suffer some internal injuries, but something went wrong, which was beyond his expectation.

Walking all the way to the palace, in front of the palace gate, the servant driving the car suddenly stopped, and Tian Fusheng’s doubtful voice came from outside, “Hey, Mr. Chu, what are you kneeling here for?”

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyelids and opened the car window.

Chu Wei knelt outside the imperial city. His hair was slightly messy in the cold wind, and the tip of his nose was slightly red. He looked up at the carriage, his eyes lit up, and he said anxiously as if he saw a life-saving straw: “Please save my fourth uncle’s life, please.” !”

*

Chu Wei’s fourth uncle was Chu Yi, the boy who was called Chu Wei’s nephew at a young age. It turned out that the child had suffered from wind and cold, which became more and more severe, and finally he became dizzy and vomited blood. The Chu government invited many doctors, but they still did not recover. Chu Wei’s heart skipped a beat, thinking of the imperial doctor at the imperial hospital, and he knelt in front of the palace gate, wanting to ask to see the emperor.

Another carriage came out of the palace, turned around, and headed towards the Chu Mansion.

The area around the Chu Mansion is also where the residences of the ministers of the DPRK are located. As soon as the carriage from the palace arrived, these residences received the news. The master of the mansion changed his clothes, held his official hat and hurriedly went to see the Holy Emperor.

“No need to be polite, just go back,” Gu Yuanbai got off the carriage, turned around and said, “Tian Fusheng, first bring the imperial doctor into the house to treat brother Yi. Human life is at stake.”

Chu Wei’s eyes turned red for a moment, and he lowered his head in a disguised manner, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help but sigh when he looked at him like this.

People from the Chu Mansion wanted to come to see the Holy One, but they were also declined by the Holy One. The Holy Master was weak in body and was afraid of contracting the disease, so he did not go to see the child in person. He only had someone send a message: “Take good care of Brother Yi attentively.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu said “yes” and burst into tears.

Chu Wei did not leave, insisting on staying with the Lord. The Holy Emperor led the people around the courtyard, waiting for the imperial doctor to come and report the news.

Kong Yilin saw Chu Wei’s lost look and comforted him in a low voice: “Brother Chu, don’t worry. The medical skills of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are superb. They will definitely cure the disease and turn danger into safety.”

Chu Wei put away the sadness in his brows and nodded reluctantly.

Gu Yuanbai happened to see Chu Wei’s expression. The Holy Master smiled helplessly and said to Kong Yilin: “My loved ones are in danger right now. It’s not as easy as it sounds.”

Chu Wei regained his composure at the sight of His Majesty. He saluted again and said, “I thank Your Majesty for saving my fourth uncle’s life.”

Gu Yuanbai helped him up, held Chu Wei’s hands, patted them, and said with a smile: “Chu Qing, you are the only son in the family. Now you have to take on more responsibilities. Don’t panic. The imperial doctors in the palace have always been It’s not bad, just be patient.”

Chu Wei’s hands curled up.

There were some fine dry skin on his lips due to the anxiety these days, and his jade face like the bright stars was stained with a haggard look, but it still did not damage his beauty, only a little bit of it was melted away to push people away. of sharp ice.

“Your Majesty, I…” Chu Wei’s lips parted, and after a long time, he said with difficulty, “Your Majesty…”

He didn’t know where the courage came from, and he suddenly pulled out his hand, and then at the next moment, he held the Holy Master’s hand with his backhand.

“I have been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days. I have consulted many highly respected doctors, but to no avail.” Chu Wei was agitated in his heart and suppressed his voice in a low voice. “I don’t know why, but I have long thought of the Holy One. I always feel that the Holy One is the best.” It can save my fourth uncle’s life, but my father doesn’t want to burden His Majesty, and I don’t want to bother His Majesty with such trivial matters.”

Chu Wei lowered his eyes and looked at the hands of the two people intertwined.

This seems to be a relationship between a monarch and his ministers, and it also seems to be the beginning of some kind of shady thoughts.

He took a deep breath and continued: “But I was really anxious later, so I went to find the Holy One on my own. I hope that the Holy One will forgive me for my rude behavior in panic.”

Gu Yuanbai naturally took out his hand and said with a smile: “Chu Qing, just relax.”

At noon, the imperial doctor walked out of Chu Yi’s room, followed by the elders in the Chu family, looking relaxed and tired. Chu Wei knew at a glance that his fourth uncle was saved.

Since there was nothing wrong, Gu Yuanbai left Chu’s house. The captain of the guard helped the saint get on the carriage. Kong Yilin was about to follow when he suddenly turned his head, smiled, and said to Chu Wei: “Brother Chu, be careful with your words, actions, and thoughts.”

Chu Wei’s brows jumped, he looked at Kong Yilin, and suddenly calmed down, “You can do whatever is not prohibited by law.”

Kong Yilin was surprised, as if he had gotten to know Chu Wei again. He read Chu Wei from beginning to end, and then got on the carriage with a smile.

The two carriages left leisurely. Chu Wei stood there for a long time before following his parents’ footsteps and turned back to the mansion.

*

This small incident was quickly forgotten by Gu Yuanbai, but the neighbors of the Chu Mansion did not forget it. Not only did they not forget it, they also consciously told the story of the saint’s benevolent behavior to his colleagues and sighed. He loves his people like his own children and wishes he could use his talents throughout his life to praise his saints to heaven.

After Gu Yuanbai had dinner that day, he took the two wolves for a walk as usual. But the two wolves were inexplicably excited today. They grabbed Gu Yuanbai’s clothes and took him to the city wall. The guards at the city wall got out of the way when they saw the wolves. Gu Yuanbai said helplessly: “You guys What do you want to do again?”

The two wolves naturally couldn’t answer his words, but the whistle outside the city wall answered Gu Yuanbai’s words on their behalf.

Gu Yuanbai frowned, “Xue Yuan.”

The whistle outside the wall stopped, Xue Yuan coughed, and said seriously: “Your Majesty.”

Although Gu Yuanbai hadn’t seen him for several days, he was still upset when he heard his voice. He didn’t even bother to reply and turned around to leave.

The two wolves whined and grabbed Gu Yuanbai’s clothes.

Xue Yuan, who was outside the city wall, also heard the coquettish sounds of the two wolves. He coughed again, looked at no one around, and lowered his voice and said, “Your Majesty, it will be the Lantern Festival in a few days.”

The Lantern Festival is the Lantern Festival. There is no curfew that day and night, the lanterns are gorgeous, the long streets are crowded, and the people lively watch the lanterns and go to the night market. This day is also the day when young men and women in Daheng meet. It is the ancient Valentine’s Day.

Xue Yuandao: “The first time I saw you was on the day of the Yuanxiao Palace Banquet.”

He paused, and then said in a calm voice, which seemed a little tense: “Your Majesty, there is no palace banquet this year, why don’t you go out with me for a walk?”

Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, here it comes, here it comes again, Xue Jiuyao, who are you pretending to be so nervous now?

He rubbed his forehead, stretched out his foot and lightly kicked the two wolves, and said viciously: “Let go?”

The two wolves drooped their tails and drooped their ears, but they didn’t let go.

Gu Yuanbai couldn’t hold them back, so the guard behind him hesitated for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, how about I take these two wolves away?”

“Take them away.” After Gu Yuanbai nodded, the two wolves were tied with sharp teeth and taken away from him. Before he left, Xue Yuan outside became anxious and shouted again: “Your Majesty!”

Gu Yuanbai replied lazily: “What?”

Xue Yuan: “Why are you willing to come out with me on the Lantern Festival?”

Gu Yuanbai sneered silently, “Xue Jiuyao, I ask you, who do you think you are here?”

“Your Majesty’s things,” Xue Jiuyao immediately answered, “It is whatever the Holy Majesty says. I will not do anything the Holy Majesty does not ask you to do. Your Majesty, if you don’t want to go out during the Shangyuan Festival, can I ask for an order to come in?” Is the palace escort here?”

Since Xue Yuan ascended to the position of general, he is no longer the former Yuhou in front of the palace. Like Chu Wei, he is also not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned.

The imperial guards guarding the city wall had never seen such a shameless person. They did not dare to show any expression on their faces, but their eyes widened for a moment.

How could this well-known general in the capital be such a person!
