As if he had expected Gu Zuo's conditions, Lu Shi joined the army and raised his hand to signal: "Gu Changshi, please tell me, if we can do it, we, the Longwu Guards, will do our best."

Gu Zuodao: "If you want to earn 10,000 guan a year, Gu won't mention anything. Nanwuzhou will try its best to guarantee it, but 30,000 guan, or even 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, it's not easy and needs to be faced."

The problem is the whole of Nanzhao. Gu is now no longer the governor of Nanwu, and is only a member of the sixth rank. Facing the leader of Liuzhao, he can only shrink his neck and behave. Although Liuzhao is a state, everything is controlled by Jiannan Road.

Both the DPRK and the Central Government compare their status as rulers to those of the fourth-rank governor of Xiazhou. In fact, they themselves think so. How can I hold my head high in front of others if I am a sixth-rank official? It is not easy to open up trade routes.

?”

"In fact, not only Nanzhao, but also Nanwu Prefecture has to face the Jiannan Jiedu Prefecture.

How can people treat me, a humble official from the sixth rank, with a straight eye? When doing things, there will be constraints everywhere. Alas, it’s so difficult..."

Lu Shi joined the army and thought for a moment, then said: "It is not easy to promote Nanwu Prefecture from Lower Prefecture to Shangzhou. Because Nanwu Prefecture is a military prefecture, all aspects are involved. If Gu Changshi is willing to hand over part of his power,

Compare with the mainland states and counties..."

Are you kidding? Upon hearing this, Gu Zuo immediately shook his head: "Then it will be even more difficult to handle. What I mean is that we don't have to consider the issue of Nan Wu Prefecture's promotion. As long as we can solve Gu's official status, let Gu and Liu

Zhao, straighten your back when dealing with Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, then it will be done."

After the conditions were reported, Chen Xuanli waited for Chen Xuanli to accept the move. This was definitely not something that could be finalized during the banquet, so everyone drank a few more rounds of wine and talked about some anecdotes from Beijing, and then the banquet ended.

After Gu Zuo left, Chen Xuanli rushed to Xingqing Palace. He was the general guarding the palace. The palace was just like his own home and he could come and go at will.

When he came to Nanxun Hall, he asked the Qianniu Guards sergeant on duty and learned that the emperor had already rested. So he went to the east verandah of Nanxun Hall and saw that the first room was brightly lit, so he went up and knocked on the door: "General?"

"

Gao Lishi's voice came from the room: "General Chen?"

A young eunuch opened the door and bowed to Chen Xuanli. Chen Xuanli knew that this was the Xiaohuangmen who had recently been favored by Gao Lishi. His surname was Yu and his given name was Chaoen, so he nodded to him.

After exiting the small yellow door, Chen Xuanli entered and saw Gao Lishi standing up from behind the desk to greet him. The desk was piled with memorials.

"Why does General Chen have time to come to our house? Please take a seat." Chen Xuanli was a cautious person and never interacted with officials. Even though he and Gao Lishi had actually known each other for forty years, they still had little contact.

Chen Xuanli sat down with his hands folded and pondered for a moment. Seeing Gao Lishi looking at him with a smile, he went straight to the point: "I'm here tonight to ask the general for an appointment."

Gao Lishi was a little surprised: "Who do you want? What official do you want?"

Chen Xuanli said: "The governor of Southern Wu, Shi Gu Zuo, does not hold his position, but only seeks rank."

Gao Lishi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "The governor of Southern Wu, the Gu Zuo who carried the beast tide for seventeen months?"

Chen Xuanli said: "Exactly."

Gao Lishi nodded and confirmed again: "Will the mission be changed?"

Chen Xuanli nodded: "Yes."

Gao Lishi said: "Okay."

Chen Xuanli stood up to say goodbye. Gao Lishi sat alone and thought for a long time. He called Yu Chaoen in and told Chen Xuanli what he wanted to do. He asked, "What would you do if it were you?"

Yu Chaoen thought for a while and said: "Southern Wu Prefecture is a military prefecture, but it is similar to the Sixth Edict and more like a sect. The court has no regard for it, so the reward was not increased after the beast tide receded. However, Chief Shi Gu Zuo kept the local soldiers and civilians close

In any case, the imperial court should still express its views. If it is not necessary to send troops, it should be promoted to its original position. His official position is Chang Shi, and his superior is the Governor of South Wu Prefecture. Today, the Governor of South Wu Prefecture is Wu Guogong, and Wu Guogong is Shou.

The eldest son of the king, so his position means minister of the Shou Prince's Palace. As far as I know, there are two positions vacant, one is the chief historian of the Shou Prince's Palace, and the second is the commander of the Shou Prince's Palace. What do you think, eldest father?"

The Chief of the Shou Prince's Palace is from the fourth rank, and the Dianjun is from the fifth rank. These two official positions are officials affiliated to the Shou Prince. They are responsible for the internal affairs of the Shou Prince's Palace. They have no great power and are not involved in government affairs, but they are an upgrade in official rank.

The steps. Especially the chief historian of the palace, who has become one of the senior officials.

This suggestion made Gao Lishi very satisfied. It could be explained in every aspect, and it also met Chen Xuanli's requirements. In addition, it also solved a difficult problem in his mind, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Just last month, Prime Minister Li submitted a memorial to recommend Jiang Du as the Chief Historian of Prince Shou's Palace. Gao Lishi also knew that this was Prime Minister Li's move to pave the way for his son-in-law to advance to the Jin Dynasty, but on this issue, he had to be more cautious and write the memorial

Suppressed and refused to submit for approval.

You must know that back then, Prime Minister Li appointed King Baoshou as the crown prince, but because of his own obstruction, he appointed the current crown prince. This was a major confrontation between the two people, and it also caused a thorn in the side.

If he agrees to Li Xiang's recommendation and appoints his son-in-law as the chief minister of Prince Shou's palace, God knows whether Li Xiang will have any backup plans; if he directly refutes it, it will offend the other party too much and make the relationship between the two parties that has eased recently become frozen again. This is his fault

What I don’t want to see is that now that I have Chen Xuanli’s recommendation, I can reply to Prime Minister Li openly.

"Go and tell Xiang Li that General Chen has spoken out about the post of Chief Historian of Prince Shou's Palace. General Chen rarely makes requests to our family, and our family cannot refuse. If I accept Xiang Li's favor, the memorial will be granted on behalf of the Holy Spirit.

Yes, please make another request to Mr. Li."

"It's...that..."

"What's wrong?"

"General Chen...is he planning to take the southern route to raise military supplies?"

Gao Lishi's half-closed eyes suddenly opened: "You are not allowed to have ideas about Nan Wuzhou. Not only can't you reach out, but you also need to help me if you have anything. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Whoever is thinking about this, Long

When the military army kills people, it doesn’t matter who they are, I don’t care!”

Yu Chaoen immediately saw sweat on his forehead and leaned down to kowtow: "Don't worry, Dad, I don't dare!"

After a long while, Gao Lishi softened his tone and said: "Wang Chengye is an irresponsible person, and the Yulin Army has been destroyed by him a long time ago. Qianniu Weisu Wei Gongye is not the material to go into battle. Among the three armies of Beiya, the key

At this time, we people can only count on Long Wujun to save our lives, and we must not be confused...get up."

"yes."

Gu Zuo didn't know that his request for an official position would alarm Gao Lishi. At this moment, he had returned to the Xihe Gymnasium and talked with Li Twelve for a while. He listened to her interesting stories at Prince Qi's Mansion and talked about it late into the night.

The sound of the watchman's singing reached his ears, and he realized that it was already very late. Gu Zuo issued an invitation: "It's been a long time since I had such a pleasant conversation with Senior Sister Li. As the saying goes, you will die if you hear the truth in the morning. That's it. How about that?"

You and I will get enough sleep tonight, so that junior brother can ask senior sister for advice on practice problems?"

Li Twelve's face instantly turned red, he stood up, spat at him, and left in a panic.

Gu Zuo felt very regretful and went back to his room to practice for a while, then walked out again, thinking about how he should cooperate with Chen Xuanli to meet the annual income requirement of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

I walked around the courtyard of the Xihe Gymnasium twice and then slipped out through the back door. The Xihe Gymnasium is located in the Xingyuan Garden and is part of the Qujiang Pond Garden. Therefore, the scenery outside is also beautiful, and it has both.

Painted boats on the river rowed by from time to time, and sparse laughter could be heard.
