I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 153
The next day after watching the female wolf give birth, Xue Yuan got busy.
In the palace, he listened carefully to the discussion between the Holy Emperor and others. When the Holy One taught Gu Ran, he also meditated. After returning home, he locked himself in the study room and read with a book in hand.
Xue Yuan almost forgot to eat and sleep, crazily filling himself up. His disciples also became active, asking for various documents and telling the eldest son the twists and turns in them from all directions.
Xue Yuan is a proud man of heaven. When he seriously wants to do something, almost no one can stop him.
And he clearly showed his intention to enter the court.
Gu Yuanbai soon learned about this.
The regent in the original text is extremely powerful and unpredictable. Gu Yuanbai often watched the farce unfold in front of his eyes with half a smile. Gu Yuanbai didn’t know why Xue Yuan turned into such an enigmatic look. But after he came to this world, because the world was stable and the nomads in northern Xinjiang retreated, Xue Yuan Gradually settle into stability.
Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows.
He couldn’t help but wonder, if Xue Yuan really entered the court, what kind of performance would he show?
Will this stupid guy fall in love with the feeling that power brings?
Gu Yuanbai not only had the expectation that he could make some great achievements, but also had a long-lost desire to conquer in the face of challenges.
He’s also a crazy guy. He wanted to watch Xue Yuan shine and appreciate his power. Such strength should not be flattened because of Gu Yuanbai. He even thought about what kind of confrontation they would have if he met the regent who abandoned the battlefield and fell into officialdom in the original text.
Thinking about it, he couldn’t stop shuddering. Gu Yuanbai’s nerve that liked challenges even wanted to elevate Xue Yuan to a high position and then crush him severely.
But this is just a thought.
Today’s Daheng should develop steadily and should not experience useless twists and turns.
Gu Yuanbai suppressed such thoughts and began to teach him intentionally or unintentionally, and Xue Yuan lived up to his expectations. His absorption of knowledge and keen political intuition almost allowed him to scurry into the court circle like a wolf.
Seeing him like this, Gu Yuanbai smiled and used his escort skills during the Xixia period to transfer Xue Yuanzang to the Privy Council.

One month later.
Xue Yuan’s dark official robe billowed up and billowed as he stepped, and the coat behind him was swept away. After entering the palace, he swept away the snow on his body, and walked to the stove to remove the cold air: “Is your Majesty up?”
The palace attendant carefully took his cloak and said, “Master Xue came a little early, and the Holy One has not risen yet.”
Xue Yuan smiled and entered the inner hall after his palms became warm. Less than half an hour later, Sheng Shang came out with Mr.
Xue Yuandao: “I like to serve the Holy Lord.”
The hot porridge exuded the rich aroma of rice. The two of them ate their breakfast slowly and talked in low voices.
Tian Fusheng was waiting in front of the palace gate. Master Xue did not forget to take care of the Holy Emperor’s clothes and three meals a day even when he was busy. This made him useless as the chief steward of the inner court. Over time, Tian Fusheng has adapted to this leisurely life. As long as Mr. Xue is here, he will not come forward to please you, just be lazy.
After the meal, the palace attendant collected the things. Gu Yuanbai said, “Something happened to the salt merchant in Huainan. I’m going to ask you to take people to investigate.” He paused, “Do you want to go?”
Xue Yuan nodded, “Go.”
As early as when Xue Yuan wanted to become a capable minister that the Holy Emperor could rely on, he knew that such a thing was inevitable. The brief separation was just to prevent the two from being separated in the future. Xue Yuan thought for a long time and finally convinced himself.
The most important thing is that the Holy Master doesn’t seem to want Xue Yuan to be trapped by his side. If the Holy Spirit wants him to go, then he will go.
Even if Xue Yuan is as sweet as sugar.
Xue Yuan sighed secretly in his heart. He now needs to make meritorious deeds and urgently needs credit.
Gu Yuanbai actually smiled, “It’s such a snowy day, I don’t know when you will be able to come back.”
“It will take a month at the earliest,” Xue Yuan held his hand and sighed, “On the Lantern Festival, I hope the saint will leave me a whole day for the sake of my upcoming departure. ”
Gu Yuanbai hooked his calloused fingers and said “hmm”.
After getting off duty, Xue Yuan returned to his house. He was tired of work. General Xue called him over and said solemnly: “Xue Yuan, the Holy Majesty values ​​you, and you must serve the Holy Majesty well. The three generations of my Xue family are loyal and loyal. Loyalty to the king is the first article in the family law. If you If you do something that violates human ethics, you are worse than a beast, and I will not be the first to spare you!”
Xue Yuan nodded casually, as if he didn’t hear what Old General Xue said, which made General Xue furious, “Don’t do anything to harm the Xue family! I would rather you be mediocre than You are so great!”
Xue Yuan sighed, “I never wanted to achieve great results.”
General Xue didn’t believe it, “If you don’t want it, then why are you making constant moves these days?”
“General Xue, you should know,” Xue Yuan pursed his lips, “If I want military merit, I can just use my hands. Those military achievements in the past were not high? I can easily get it.”
He lowered his voice, “I don’t want something that’s easily available.”
He wanted to be by Gu Yuanbai’s side for the rest of his life.
Being entangled and entangled, even if you give up your feelings, you are destined to be inseparable for a lifetime.

After another half month, Kong Yilin and Xue Yuan walked out of the Privy Council. Kong Yilin was extremely tall, and Xue Yuan and him were of equal rank. The two walked slowly. Kong Yilin smiled and said, “Master Xue will be traveling soon?”
Xue Yuan nodded and smiled, “After I leave, if Your Majesty feels any discomfort, please ask Mr. Kong to write and talk to me.”
“After a letter has passed, you will be back,” Kong Yilin laughed dumbly and implicitly advised, “The Holy Lord is the most respected person in the world. Even Manager Tian cannot look at the Holy Lord all day long.”
Xue Yuan put the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, squinted his eyes and smiled, “Master Kong doesn’t know.”
Kong Yilin was curious: “Oh, I don’t know what?”
“The Holy Lord Buxi, Manager Tian, ​​follows him day and night,” Xue Yuan showed a look of aftertaste, “but he liked me so much that I followed him.”
Kong Yilin choked.
Xue Yuan smiled and adjusted his robe slowly, “Even though the inn is moving slowly, I am worried and I still have to leave it to Master Kong. As for the others, I have to trouble Master Kong to pay more attention.”
Kong Yilin asked knowingly, “Master Chu?”
“Not just him, there are other young, handsome, and strong ones,” Xue Yuan counted them one by one, “The Holy One likes this.”
Kong Yilin couldn’t help but said: “Master Xue, are you really not praising yourself?”
Mr. Xue raised his handsome eyebrows and smiled leisurely.
The Holy One likes strong people.
For wolves, you have to choose the most ferocious one to mate.

Lantern Festival.
Gu Yuanbai changed into regular clothes, and Xue Yuan was already waiting in the outer hall. When I turned around and saw him, I was stunned for a while and praised him without blinking: “Pan An and Wei Jie are nowhere near as beautiful as a saint or a heavenly being.”
Gu Yuanbai chuckled and walked over slowly. Xue Yuan stretched out his hand and straightened the jade pendant on his waist. The beautiful jade made a sound of colliding. Xue Yuan flicked his fingertips and said, “It sounds good.”
This was the second time that Gu Yuanbai and Xue Yuan spent the Lantern Festival together. The night was slightly dark, the lights were bright, and their hands were held together unconsciously. Their shoulders were squeezed together intimately, and if they occasionally turned their heads, their lips would brush against their foreheads.
“I brought my salary,” Xue Yuan bought the lantern that Gu Yuanbai took a second look at, “Whatever the Lord wants, I have enough money.”
Gu Yuanbai was very supportive and applauded him twice.
“Do you remember, Your Majesty?” Xue Yuan deliberately lowered his voice as he walked past an alley, “I once kissed you in this alley.”
Gu Yuanbai clicked his tongue, “Remember.”
Xue Yuan and him looked at each other in the colorful lanterns, their breathing became heavy and hot, and their hands were pulled into the dark alley again.
Still the same cold air, the same water droplets, the same breathy and chaotic kiss.
Gu Yuanbai opened his lips to respond to him, and kissed him back even more ferociously. Xue Yuan gasped and comforted him, “Don’t rush, don’t rush, take your time, even slower.”
Gu Yuanbai couldn’t breathe, and the feeling of shortness of breath was refreshing and uncomfortable. He glared at Xue Yuan, and finally cursed what he had wanted to curse for a long time: “Get the hell out of here!”
Xue Yuan laughed so hard that his chest shook.
One night passed, and Xue Yuan woke up from bed before it was dark the next day. His chest and neck were covered with bright red scratches and kisses. Xue Yuan admired them for a long time, then gently woke up the Holy One and coaxed him to make another deep mark on his neck.
The Holy Emperor was extremely sleepy and annoyed. He sucked for a long time and then bit his teeth. The taste of blood suddenly burst into his lips.
Xue Yuan hissed, and Gu Yuanbai tried his best to open his eyes and unconsciously licked the blood on his lips. Xue Yuan looked down at him for a long time, then moved the other side of his neck towards him.
Today was a day for travel. Xue Yuan packed up and went to say goodbye to his parents with a scar on his neck.
General Xue and Mrs. Xue made a few noises in the bedroom. After a while, General Xue put on his coat and walked out, “Go.”
Xue Yuan leaned down and saluted. Under the faint sky, General Xue seemed to see some marks left between the bedclothes on his neck.
General Xue was startled. Xue Yuan had already put on a thick cloak and turned around to go out.
The old general was stunned for a long time, unable to sleep anymore, and walked to Xue Yuan’s door unknowingly. Outside Xue Yuan’s courtyard were the guards from the palace. General Xue walked over. The captain of the guard raised his sword and stopped him. He said warmly: “General Xue, Your Majesty is still resting.”
General Xue stiffened, his knees softened, and he knelt down heavily on the ground.

The Huainan salt merchants were in deep trouble. Xue Yuan led a team to investigate and found out about illegal salt.
Since Xixia was annexed by Daheng and renamed Ningxia, the green salt of Xixia is naturally no longer private salt. Many salt dealers who relied on Xixia Green Salt to sell private salt were hit hard. Since the salt mines in Zhejiang and Zhejiang were put on the market, the official salt fell, and there was almost no room for private salt to survive.
The huge interests of salt merchants and the strong suppression by the government caused chaos in Huainan and Jiangnan.
Jiangnan has been harmed by rebels before. There are no big powerful people, but there are many small shrimps and crabs. In addition, with the merchants coming and going in Huainan, the situation was complicated. Xue Yuan endured his temper and attended the banquet every day. Over time, he was able to remain calm.
Communicating with all kinds of people and secretly conveying information is the best way to practice your skills when you are among them. Xue Yuan’s brows and eyes are becoming more and more calm, and the smile at the corner of his mouth is getting deeper and deeper. Occasionally, he seems to be a gentleman who is easy to get along with.
Time dragged on, and it dragged on for another month.
Xue Yuan smiled and said goodbye to the Lu family in Huainan. After entering the residence prepared for him by the local government, he realized something was wrong.
He raised his eyebrows, and when he entered the door, he saw that someone had brought two women to him, and they were standing beside the bed in gauze in the bedroom.
“Go back,” Xue Yuan frowned in disgust, turned around and exited the courtyard, and kicked the servant guarding the door when he went out, “You’re not going to let anyone in?!”
The boy guarding the door was so frightened that he pissed his pants. He quickly knelt down and said, “I know my mistake, I will never dare to do it again.”
Xue Yuan’s face was gloomy, and dark clouds rolled over his usually smiling face.
The boy was afraid and went up to him, hugging his calf and crying bitterly, telling him that he was “unjustly accused” and “dazzled”. Xue Yuan kicked him hard again and said harshly, “I have set the rules.”
Thinking of what this young man had done, he didn’t feel angry enough, so he used a lot of force and kicked the young man forward.
“Take it down,” Xue Yuan said expressionlessly, “all the things in the bedroom were burned.”
The subordinate said: “Yes.”
Xue Yuan looked to both sides, stared at one of them and said, “Do you see clearly? I didn’t touch those two women.”
Pretending to be an official of the Supervision Office under Xue Yuan: “…See clearly, Mr. Xue.”
Only then did Xue Yuan feel that his anger had subsided a little.
After the news spread, the merchants outside who tried to establish relationships with Xue Yuan as a gift stopped their actions.
As for the salt merchant, I thought it would be settled within one month at the earliest. But Xue Yuan ignored the intermingling of interests, and it took two and a half months until the signs were discovered and rectified.
When Xue Yuan hurriedly returned to the capital, it was already the spring season.
