Chapter Thirty-One

After leaving Prime Minister Chen Xilie's Mansion, Gu Zuo passed by Dongshi. There was a restaurant on the roadside, which was deserted, so he ordered a table and drank by himself, thinking about the next situation.

The third prime minister of the political affairs hall, Li Xiang, went to Qishan to inspect the earthquake disaster and provide relief to the victims, but he actually ran away. Gu Zuo's guess about him running away midway was that the prime minister on the spot seemed to intend to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, no matter who wins.

Whoever loses is good to him.

Prime Minister Chen also made it very clear that he didn't want to take care of this matter.

As for Yang Guozhong, don’t mention it!

As for Gao Lishi, forget it, this matter is just to embarrass Gao Lishi, the emperor has spoken, what can Gao Lishi do?

As for other people, they don't have the identity and status to interfere, so it would be useless to come to him.

Thinking of this, Gu Zuo really wanted to have a good talk with the emperor, ask him why he let himself go, and how far he wanted to squander his family wealth.

It's a pity that I can't see him...

While thinking about it, I sensed someone behind me in the sea of ​​​​qi. His cultivation should be in the late stage of foundation building. He stood still and did not leave. So I turned around and saw a man wearing a plain scarf holding his hands to pay homage: "Xiaguan Dali Temple Judge Yuan

Zai, I met Gu Changshi!"

The judge of Dali Temple was a small official of the eighth rank, but Gu Zuo was startled after hearing this: "The Yuan of Kaiyuan, the one who carries the great virtue and wealth?"

Yuan Zai said happily: "The shameful name is insulting to Qing Ting, I feel ashamed..."

Gu Zuo gestured: "Please sit down for review."

After Yuan Zai sat down, he toasted Gu Zuo and said, "Chang Shi is sitting alone drinking, but you have something to worry about?"

Gu Zuo was very familiar with this routine. He wanted to see who was instructing Yuan Zai to persuade him, so he joked: "How can I help relieve my worries if I dare to ask the judge?"

Yuan Zai secretly thought, "Yes", so he pretended to be deep in thought.

Gu Zuo continued to cooperate: "I have something to say when commenting on things, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Yuan Zai also took out a small cattail leaf fan from nowhere and shook it: "Master Gu is one of the eighteen sects entrusted by the Chongxuan Department. He must have some understanding of the general trend of the world today..."

"Wait a moment for comment." Gu Zuo interrupted him, opened a corner of the window facing him, and let the cold wind blow towards him: "This way it won't be hot anymore."

Yuan Zai felt a little embarrassed, and subconsciously put away the small fan and closed the window: "Haha, it's much better now."

Gu Zuo said: "That's good, please continue with the review."

Yuan Zai's thoughts were interrupted, he reorganized his thoughts, and then said: "The actions of Chongxuan Bureau are actually telling the people of the world that they intend to gradually retire from the world of cultivation and return affairs to the world. After the withdrawal of Chongxuan Bureau, the affairs of cultivation

It should be managed by eighteen sects, but Gu Changshi thinks that these eighteen sects can maintain their own foundation?"

Gu Zuo raised his glass and said, "Come on, let me have a cup of appreciation."

Yuan Zai was stunned for a moment, raised his glass to drink, then thought for a moment, and continued: "As I just mentioned, whether the eighteen sects can maintain their own foundation, I would like to ask whether the Gu Gu Gu...

..Okay, this duck soup tastes good, good, good, thank you, the owner... That’s enough, one bowl is enough..."

"Go on."

"Okay... Gu Gu Gu Gu's head thinks that the eighteen sects can... no, can the Huaixian Pavilion maintain its foundation?"

"It's difficult."

"That's right! Take Nanzhao for example, there is Qingcheng in the north, Luofu is as high as a mountain, and Lishui is as tall as a tiger in the forest in the west..."

"What do you suggest?"

"ah?"

"Suggestion? What do you think the Huaixian Pavilion should be like?"

"Oh...of course I'm looking for a place to back up."

"In your opinion, who can be the backer of Huaixian Pavilion?"

"After Chongxuan Department, naturally comes the imperial court..."

"The imperial court can't do it. It's too broad. Please tell me directly, who should I rely on? Gu is impatient, so please forgive me. Come and have another drink."

"Okay, Yin Sheng... Since Gu Gu is so cheerful, the official has made it clear that Gu Gu must know the Li Zhaishi of the Ten Kings' Residence. The Li Zhai Envoy has a lot of righteousness and it is best to make friends.

....."

"Messenger Li Zhai?" Gu Zuo thought hard, he really didn't know who this was.

Yuan Zai's tone was stagnant, and he hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel and said: "The envoy of Li's house, the envoy of the ten kings' house, respect the taboo and assist the country!"

"Li Fuguo?" Gu Zuo suddenly realized that this guy was still very famous, and he looked like he didn't recognize him. No wonder Yuan Zai was very unhappy, so he comforted him: "To be honest, Gu Zuo lives in Nanzhao in a remote place, and he doesn't know much about the temple.

I don’t know much about the people in the DPRK, so I hope I won’t be surprised if I comment on it.”

Yuan Zai drank a cup of wine in frustration, calmed down the tightness in his chest, and said reluctantly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Gu Zuo asked again: "The name of the auxiliary country does not seem to be the real name of Li Zhaishi?"

Yuan Zai didn't know why: "If it's not your real name, what is it?"

Gu Zuo explained: "My sect is good at calculating martial arts. Gu just pointed out and calculated. The word "Fuguo" is not his name. It should be a gift from a noble person."

Seeing Yuan Zai's confused look, he smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, go back and ask Li Zhaishi. If not, just pretend I didn't say anything about it next."

Yuan Zai asked doubtfully: "What did Master Gu say?"

Since the Chongxuan Bureau has no concern for the world, and the emperor has let himself go, why should he stick to the rules? After two glasses of wine, Gu Zuo decided to break the jar and fall in love with whomever he wanted! So he said: "I just calculated with my fingers.

, Li Zhai’s envoy general is in a very popular position, and he has the appearance of being crowned a king!”

Yuan Zai opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. He looked at Gu Zuo as if he were an idiot. He thought to himself: Could it be that Gu Zuo, the owner of the hall, has suffered setbacks in recent times and gone crazy?

Gu Zuo thought it was funny, he counted with his fingers, and said to Yuan Zai: "It's strange that Yuan Pingshi has the air of a prime minister. Could it be that Gu has seen it wrong? No way...

"

Yuan Zai seemed to have just come to his senses. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Gu, please stop teasing Xiaguan. How can there be any reason for a servant to be crowned a king? Although Xiaguan is a high-ranking official, he does not dare to expect to be the prime minister...

Let’s continue talking about what happened just now. Ambassador Li wants to make friends with Gu Gu Gu, but I don’t know if Gu Gu is interested in it? If so, the official is willing to mediate the relationship with the Gu Gu. If it’s not unintentional, I didn’t say it just now.

If I ask again in the future, I will know nothing about it."

Gu Zuo nodded and looked around. Seeing no one in the building, he suddenly asked: "When did Li Zhaishi become the prince's servant?"

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, exploding in Yuan Zai's ears. He pointed at Gu Zuo in disbelief, and couldn't utter a single word after mumbling for a long time.

Gu Zuo smiled: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help but count again just now. Could it be that Gu got it right again? Don't worry, no one knows about this matter."

Yuan Zai quickly denied: "No, what Gu Gu Guzhu said is ridiculous, extremely ridiculous, extremely ridiculous! Gu Gu Guzhu, don't say this nonsense. People in Beijing are not as good as in Nanzhao. If you say something wrong, I'm afraid

The harm will be endless.”

Gu Zuo raised his hand and said, "I'd like to be educated! So, Pingshi, can you tell me how Li Zhaishi plans to make Pindao a friend?"

Yuan Zai couldn't calm down. He felt that it was really dangerous to sit opposite Gu Zuo, and he didn't want to talk anymore. He just warned: "Master Gu, please remember to be careful in your words and deeds. Don't say what you just said again, and don't pinch your fingers again."

It’s a random calculation, this is what the official said from the bottom of his heart.”

Gu Zuo nodded: "Thank you for your kindness."
