Gu Zuo's request was originally the purpose of Wang Wei's trip. He glanced at Yuan Zai who was shouting and drinking in the crowd over there, and said to Gu Zuo: "Then let me tell you the whole story. It's easy to say, just three things.

, it’s all Prime Minister Yang’s bottom line. When I came, I didn’t mention the 17 or 18 things he told me. To be honest, I didn’t remember them, so you don’t need to pay attention to them.”

Gu Zuo smiled and said: "We are one of our own, let's make a decision at the dinner table, you say."

Wang Wei whispered: "First of all, put down the flag on Qingjun's side, and stop shouting the chant."

Gu Zuo smiled and said, "You can consider it."

Wang Wei added: "Second, let the new Jiannan Jiedu take office."

Gu Zuo asked: "Who is it?"

Wang Weidao said: "You don't have to worry about how many people Yang Xiang mentioned. His bottom line is that if it really doesn't work, you can appoint one. But this is the face of the court, and the Jiedushi cannot be left vacant."

Gu Zuo asked again: "What about the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee?"

Wang Weidao: "Since Yang Xiang didn't mention it, you just go ahead and do it. I suggest you consider hanging it under Jiedu Mansion."

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said: "Then we suggest that your brother be the governor of Jiannan."

Wang Wei smiled and said nothing, raised his glass to Gu Zuo, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Article 3: This year's two taxes can be exempted due to the war, but the political hall is short of money. He requires Jiannan Dao to hand over at least 200,000 yuan. If he doesn't want anything, he will make money."

Gu Zuo asked: "What do you mean?"

Wang Wei snorted coldly: "I heard that our Majesty opened his mouth and asked Prime Minister Yang for a million dollars. Prime Minister Yang was very embarrassed."

Gu Zuo was curious: "What on earth is your Majesty doing?"

Wang Wei shook his head: "Who knows?"

Gu Zuo was very excited: "It seems that Zhengshitang will not send troops to Nanzhao again?"

Wang Wei sneered: "Originally, Prime Minister Yang had this plan, but the household department is empty and he really can't come up with the money. It will cost twice as much to mobilize troops from other states. It is absolutely impossible to do it without one or two million yuan. Even if there is

Since Your Majesty has asked for this money, he will no longer have this money."

Gu Zuo said with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it."

Wang Wei raised his glass: "Okay, come on, I'll give you a toast!"

That night, Wang Wei was led quietly to Shaoshi Mountain in Yongchangzhao, while Gu Zuo waited in Changshiyuan to meet Yuan Zai who had sneaked in.

"Congratulations to Yuan Pingshi for being promoted to a doctor of the degree!" Gu Zuo said with a smile.

Yuan Zai was very excited, but also very nervous. The position of a doctor in the household department was a very important one. Although it was just a temporary measure for Yang Xiang to go to Nanwu Prefecture as an envoy, he was confident that under Wei Jiansu's guidance

With care, I was able to sit still after returning to Chang'an.

This sudden official position made him take an important step towards what Gu Zuo called the "prime minister's spirit". Therefore, while he was excited, he also feared Gu Zuo even more.

"When I came to Nanwu Prefecture, Li Zhai's envoy said that if Mr. Gu has any difficulties, feel free to ask, and we will definitely find a way to solve it in Chang'an."

Gu Zuo smiled: "Li Zhaizhi is too polite, why do you need to be like this?"

Yuan Zai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Mr. Li's words are sure to hit the mark. Not only Li's envoy, but also the prince admires him. When it comes to long history, he must be called Mr."

Gu Zuodao: "You're not here to ask for help this time, are you?"

Yuan Zai said respectfully: "Last time, Mr. Anlushan said that Anlu Mountain would rebel. Now the signs have become more and more obvious. Prime Minister Yang has transferred Chang Qing to the east of Hedong and sent Gao Xianzhi to guard Tongguan. Li Zhaiji wants to ask if it can be defended.

?”

Gu Zuodao: "Then let me give you the final reckoning." He pinched his fingers for a long time and said: "Tongguan, there is a border that cannot be defended."

Yuan Zai asked: "What does this mean?"

Gu Zuo shook his head: "This is a secret. I can't explain it clearly. You need to figure it out for yourself."

After getting this calculation, Yuan Zai did not dare to ask any more questions, but Gu Zuo made a request: "I have something that I would like to ask Li Zhaishi for help. Of course, I will help if I can, and it doesn't matter if I can't help."

"Sir, please speak."

"I really want to know where your Majesty spent all the money he collected. I wonder if Ambassador Li can help find out?"

"Yes, after returning to Chang'an, I will convey your message, and Ambassador Li will do his best."

The two angels received warm hospitality in Nanwu Prefecture and stayed there for more than half a month before reluctantly leaving.

Starting from May 1st, the "Qingjun Side" flag set up at the Nanwu Prefecture Grand Performance Arena and the slogans and banners hung everywhere were gradually removed. At the same time, the relevant flags in Yizhou, Heishan County, and Tonghai County were also removed.

Was replaced.

In early June, the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee submitted a letter to the Zhengshitang, requesting the imperial court to send a new Jiannan Jiedushi to take up his post in Yizhou.

At the end of June, Wang Wei, the Right Prime Minister of Jin Shangshu of Zhengshitang, appointed the envoy to Jiannan Jiedushi and Kaifu Yitong to the third division. Wang Wei arrived in Yizhou in early July and began to take charge of the affairs of Jiannan Jiedufu.

Rumor has it that the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee recommended two candidates to the Zhengshitang, one was Wang Wei and the other was Yi Governor Shi Cuiyuan, but the Zhengshitang finally chose Wang Wei, which made Yu Haicang, the elder of the Qingcheng faction, throw the cup.

What attracted the attention of the world was that after Wang Wei took office, he did not abolish the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee, but renamed it the Jiedu Shogunate, and appointed Yang Jian of the Huaixian Pavilion as secretary-general, Tang Junzhe of the Tang Sect, and Lu Qiao of the Luofu Sect.

, Yu Yutong of the Qingcheng faction, and Wang Ruhu of the Lishui faction were appointed as curtain friends respectively.

At the end of July, the Ministry of Revenue officially issued a document exempting Jiannan Road and Nanzhao from paying two taxes this year.

In mid-August, the newly-appointed Yizhou Jiedushi Wang Wei wrote a high-profile letter to Jiannan Dao and Nanzhao to express their gratitude to the imperial court. The soldiers and civilians enthusiastically donated 200 million yuan to serve the emperor. The Political Affairs Hall immediately ordered the award.

This series of operations were seen by sects, states, and counties all over the world. They didn't say anything on the surface, but underneath there was already an uproar.

Huaixianguan raised troops on the side of the Qing Dynasty and wiped out 30,000 Yizhou troops (some say 100,000) in one battle. Not only that, they also occupied Yizhou. Everyone was waiting for the imperial court to mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress them.

But what’s the result? Is this over? Are we still good friends?

Can they not be good friends? One removed his battle flag and served the emperor 200 million yuan, and the other took the initiative to replace the military envoy and exempted the other from two gifts. What a good friend!

What's even more important is that, until now, have you seen the Chongxuan Department say anything since the two sides have been fighting? Not a single fart has been said!

There was an undercurrent surging for a while.

Gu Zuo alone received many letters. For example, two allies of Lingnan Road, Suxianguan and Duqiao faction, expressed their desire to come to Nanwu Prefecture to meet with Gu Zuo to hear the ins and outs of the battle.

Another example is that Wangwushan and Huashan Xixuan sects sent people specially to invite Gu Zuo to their hometown.

For example, the Dongting Sect asked Jiang Xiaozhu to block the door of Gu Zuo's room and asked him to record all the mysterious operations during the year. Every detail must be sent back to the Dongting Sect.

Even Zuo Shenmen wrote a letter to the original Taoist priest to discuss the possibility of Gu Zuo and the original Taoist priest, the butcher, "returning to his hometown to have a look."

The original Taoist priest was very moved. Gu Zuo said: "If you want to go, you can go. I'll give you fifteen days off. Anyway, you can fly now. Fifteen days is enough."

Taoist priest Yuan sighed: "What's the point of me going? What they want to see is you."
