On the day of the Longevity Day, the emperor will accept the courtesy and contributions of the hundred officials. During the Longevity Festival, slaughter is forbidden, and criminal names are ignored for several days before and after. All civil and military officials must wear python gowns according to regulations. On this day, the artisans in the capital used colored paintings and cloth to wrap the main streets in a colorful and colorful way, singing and dancing everywhere.

And hundreds of civil and military officials in various places have to set up incense cases and pay great gifts to the capital. 1

Gu Yuanbai's birthday was in the golden autumn season, the season of food harvest. The emperor’s birthday is extremely important. As early as after Gu Yuanbai and his courtiers moved to the Summer Palace, the capital began to prepare for the holy birthday.

When the Longevity Day really comes, even foreign envoys will go to Daheng Capital to celebrate Gu Yuanbai's birthday.

And Gu Yuanbai also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know these foreign envoys who came to Zhaohe.

Regarding the birthday, these pomp and specifications have been written into the law. Before and after the Longevity Day, the entire Daheng will take a three-day holiday.

When a person's birthday is to share happiness with the people of the world, then such a birthday is not the person who can decide what to do.

Gu Yuanbai only ordered, don't be extravagant.

A few days later, Lizhou Zhizhou was killed by bandits because of the failure to suppress bandits, and it spread throughout the court.

Because Lizhou Zhizhou forced the people into bandits, and the collusion with bandits would shake people's hearts once it spreads out, so this matter must be concealed to the death, and no wind can be heard. Even the official Shangshu, who had previously voluntarily resigned to Gu Yuanbai, only thought that the Lizhou prefect allowed bandits to rob the local people and had a lot of corruption. He didn't know the deeper roads and turns.

This deeper news is only known to Gu Yuanbai and some of his cronies.

When it reached the ears of the court officials, the story changed.

Lizhou Zhizhou was afraid of corruption, and wanted to redeem his crimes with merit, so he brought people recklessly to fight the bandits. Instead, he was killed by bandits. The killing of the imperial court commander was a big deal. In the end, a garrison was even dispatched to wipe out all the bandits on the hills around Lizhou.

Some bandits have been pressed to the capital, they will be used as coolies to reclaim the most difficult wasteland in the west of Beijing. The bandit leaders who caused Lizhou and surrounding counties to suffer, were directly beheaded in the witness of Lizhou Wanmin.

Cheap Lizhou knows the state.

It should have been notorious and will always be cast aside in history. But because the state of affairs he did was concealed and too terrifying, it had already reached the point of shaking people’s hearts and causing riots, so he had to be dealt with secretly, and then a person who “lizhou knows the state only committed corruption” The news is spreading.

The longer Gu Yuanbai came to ancient times, the more he felt that history is a little girl who can be dressed up.

This thing is a fig leaf in the hands of the superior and the winner.

Gu Yuanbai threw the paper with the reasons for the death of Lizhou Zhizhou on the table, looked at the historian next to him, and asked, "Is it clear?"

The historian nodded, and showed Gu Yuanbai the text that he had recorded from the upper office this morning. The above was clearly written: Hearing about the damage to the state of Lizhou, I sighed and counted. The court officials hated it and lamented its corruption. He also regretted that he wanted to redeem his merits and was persecuted by thieves. When the spoils of Lizhou Zhizhou Affairs came, the emperor was furious and said: This person I cherish the expense. 2

"Very good," Gu Yuanbai said, "that's it."

The historian respectfully responded, took the scroll, quietly quit, and prepared to transcribed on the historical scroll.

Kong Yilin, who transported a group of free labor to Beijing, is also about to go to the west of Beijing. Gu Yuanbai turned the jade pull finger in his hand, but he couldn't help but pause when he moved his hand up.

After a long time, he asked: "How is the person?"

This sudden sentence confuses Tian Fusheng. Fortunately, he quickly returned to God and tentatively replied: "Going back to the Holy Spirit, there is no big movement from Xue Mansion, Master Xue should be fine."

"Should?" Gu Yuanbai furrowed his brows, and said, "What is supposed to be?"

Tian Fusheng's cold sweat remained from the temples, and he immediately admitted his mistake, "If you are a little one, please inquire carefully."

Gu Yuanbai was a little annoyed. He rubbed his temples and pressed the irritability, "Get down."

Being in it that day, I just felt a little weird. Thinking about it now, I am afraid that Xue Yuan's injury is still serious. Those weird smells are probably bloody.

Isn’t the flesh all rotten after being seriously injured and running in the dirty water for so long?

People who are in good health spoil their bodies in this way, and it really makes people who are in poor health feel uncomfortable.

Gu Yuanbai leaned back.

His temples bulged, his long sleeves were spread on the soft chair, and his expression was slightly cold.

If someone spoils himself just to pick up a dead thing for Gu Yuanbai, such behavior is not affectionate, loyal, or stupid in Gu Yuanbai's eyes.

Human life is more valuable than anything.

Or is it just like what Xue Yuan said about trying hard for him?

For a jade pull finger?

After a while, the saint commanded: "Call Chang Yuyan."

*

After Chang Yuyan knew that Sheng had summoned himself, he quickly arranged his official robes and crown, and followed the summoned **** towards the palace of the eunuch.

The road turns around in the summer palace, and the garden art is at its peak. When the summer heat was no longer, Chang Yuyan walked all the way, and when he arrived in front of Gu Yuanbai, he still looked like a refreshing romantic boy.

"The minister visits the prince," this is the second time that he was summoned alone. Chang Yuyan couldn't help being a little nervous, and bent over to bow to Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai looked up from the book and looked at Chang Yuyan with a smile: "It's nothing, don't be cautious, I'm just a little boring, so I called Changqing to speak with me."

Chang Yuyan was a talent that Gu Yuanbai liked and valued extremely. He gave Chang Yuyan a seat and put him on the chessboard.

Chang Yuyan was flattered. He sat down, his hips only half full, remembering the last time Shengshang played chess with Chu Wei, and couldn't help saying: "When Shengshang played chess with Chu Wei last time, the minister never watched the game. Fan. I still feel regretful when I think about it."

Gu Yuanbai smiled and said, "The regret of Chang Qing is all gone today."

Chang Yuyan laughed, rolled up his cuffs, and played chess with Sheng.

He played well. Gu Yuanbai became a little serious. After Chang Yuyan gradually got into it, he casually asked, "I heard that Changqing has written another good poem recently."

Gu Yuanbai only spent half of his mind, but his chess game was really dangerous, with traps and fronts everywhere. Chang Yuyan spent all his mind on the chess surface, and his words were more or less clear. Something that shouldn't be said: "Yes, Xue Jiuyao had to write a poem for him a few days ago."

Rubbing the round chess pieces with his fingers, Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "Chang Qing and Xue Qing are so good."

Chang Yuyan smiled bitterly: "Just Xue Jiuyao's dog temper, who can—"

He suddenly recovered, his nerves were suddenly tense, and he quickly got up to ask for sin, "The minister has failed to say anything, please forgive the sin."

"No problem," Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, "Why should Tanhua Lang be so cautious with me?"

What he asked made people spine chill, but when the sage smiled slightly, the chill was suppressed, and his head was dizzy, where he remembered the danger.

Chang Yuyan smiled shyly, and sat down again.

Look, people like Xue Jiuyao have friends like Chang Yuyan. Regardless of other things, Xue Jiuyao is far inferior to Chang Yuyan in terms of etiquette facing Gu Yuanbai.

But the same.

In front of Chang Yuyan, Gu Yuanbai was like an emperor who had nothing to do with other people.

Gu Yuanbai smiled, and suddenly felt a little boring. He stopped asking, but concentrated on finishing the game with Chang Yuyan. After he was serious, Chang Yuyan was quickly defeated.

Chang Yuyan admired and said: "Shengshang is a master of chess."

The corner of Shengshang’s mouth tickled, and Chang Yuyan added, “Xue Jiuyao’s path is somewhat similar to that of Shengshang. When facing such chess moves, the minister really has no way of doing it.”

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows, playing with the taste: "He still plays chess?"

Chang Yuyan couldn't help but laughed, "Xue Jiuyao may have more books in his study than in the courthouse."

This really surprised Gu Yuanbai.

Looking at this picture of Shengshang, Chang Yuyan's mouth couldn't stop, his mind was a little confused, and he kept taking Xue Yuan's embarrassment to make Shengshang happy, "Xue Jiuyao's room is more than just There are a lot of books. A few days ago, the minister also found that he was dragging the sick body and started to kite."

Gu Yuanbai had a meal, "Kite?"

"Yes," Chang Yu said, "still a swallow kite."

"Then write on the kite," Gu Yuanbai said, "what's the meaning?"

Chang Yu's words showed some doubts: "This, the minister doesn't know."

Gu Yuanbai nodded slightly, making him retreat.

When the people left, Gu Yuanbai raised his hand to lift the cup, stretched his finger, and saw the deep green jade pull finger.

He watched for a while, suddenly reached out his hand to pick the jade pull off, and snorted coldly, "I'm upset."

When Tian Fusheng heard these words, he cautiously said, "The little one will go and give the new jade fingers to the sage?"

Gu Yuanbai glanced at him and said "no more" in his throat. After turning around, he said, "Get some."

*

After Chang Yuyan made a decision, he got into Xue Mansion.

When he came, Xue Yuan was cutting wood with a dagger.

Grand Master Xue wore only a shirt and a robe outside. The black hair was scattered behind him, his expression serious, his jaw stretched indifferently.

Chang Yuyan couldn't help but smiled and sat aside, "Xue Jiuyao, what are you doing?"

There are sawdust on his fingers, Xue Yuan lazily said: "Cut wood."

Chang Yuyan choked, "I naturally know that you are cutting wood. I am asking you what kind of wood you plan to cut."

Xue Yuan's lips curled up, "It's up to you."

Chang Yuyan has habitually ignored his words. He coughed his throat and straightened his back, as if unconsciously said, "I was summoned by the Holy Supreme again today."

Xue Yuan's men kept on, as if carelessly: "Huh?"

"Sheng Shang talked to me and played a game of chess," Chang Yuyan couldn't help but grow larger and larger, admiring, "Sheng Shang's chess path is truly unique. I tried my best. Can hold on for a moment."

Xue Yuan didn't speak anymore. He turned the dagger around in his hand, and the sharp tip of the knife was glowing with the afterglow of the setting sun, flashing golden light on his face again and again.

"and then?"

then?

Chang Yuyan looked at Xue Yuan's profile, and what he wanted to say suddenly fell into his mouth for some reason. He smiled naturally, moving his eyes from Xue Yuan to the wood in his hand, and said without changing his tone. "Then there is nothing more, Shengshang is busy with business, after saying a word or two to me, let me go."
