After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 556 I'll Remember This Friendship

At this time, the imperial envoy and the heads of various families who heard the noise also ran out.

When they saw that Duke Yun appeared in front of them safe and sound, they were shocked at first, and then felt scared!

Although there were only a hundred cavalrymen behind Gu Nanxi, they were all killed on the battlefield. Each of them was wearing heavy armor, holding swords, and their cold brows and eyes showed some murderous ruthlessness!

Whenever they were swept by their gazes, they felt a chill all over their bodies, as if their necks would fall to the ground in the next second.

The imperial envoy swallowed his saliva, and suddenly remembered that he represented the dignity of the emperor, so he straightened his chest and whispered: "Duke Yun, you can no longer call He Yunyan Lord He. The emperor has just issued an imperial decree to dismiss him from his official position and demote him to a commoner."

Gu Nanxi's eyes darkened, and he asked loudly, "What mistake did Lord He make to deserve being dismissed?"

Beads of cold sweat the size of beans appeared on the imperial envoy's forehead.

The Duke of Yun is intimidating without even getting angry, and her aura is even greater than before!

Even before Duke Yun opened his mouth to reprimand, the imperial envoy's legs could not help but tremble. This was even more frightening than the emperor's anger!

The imperial envoy choked for a moment, and finally explained in a low voice: "He Yunyan disobeyed the imperial order."

Gu Nanxi continued to ask: "Which one was violated?"

The imperial envoy was prompted to come out, and he stole a glance at Gu Nanxi.

Gu Nanxi was riding on a white horse, playing with a barbed whip in her hand. It seemed that she was just asking casually, but her eyes and aura clearly said, if you don't give me an explanation, you will never leave Shuozhou!

The imperial envoy swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes, made up his mind, and said loudly: "The emperor has ordered that the states and counties are not allowed to mobilize troops at will!"

Gu Nanxi chuckled, but her question was very blunt: "Your Majesty is saying that the governor of Shuozhou, He Yunyan, made a serious mistake by sending troops to rescue Yunzhou, so serious that he should be dismissed from office?"

Wang Buxi was even setting up a ladder on the side: "General, not only will you be dismissed from office, but the emperor will also not allow you and your three generations to take the imperial examinations and enter the court!"

Gu Nanxi sneered, "What a severe punishment! People who don't know would think that Lord He committed treason. Even when Li Chengjun was the chief examiner of the imperial examination, he was corrupt and only lost his job."

Gu Nanxi rode his horse a few steps further towards the gate of the governor's mansion, his eyes fixed on the imperial envoy: "It seems that in the emperor's mind, the crime of rescuing our Yunzhou is far greater than cheating in the imperial examination!"

This is a very hurtful statement.

If this gets out, how will the people of the world think of the government?

Wouldn't it make people think that the government is jealous of talented people and wants to force Duke Yun to death? !

Although this is true, it certainly cannot be admitted!

The imperial envoy felt bitter as if he had eaten coptis chinensis, and he hurried as fast as he could, hoping to get the job done before Duke Yun came back!

Who would have thought that Duke Yun would come back so quickly and be caught red-handed!

If it wasn't for announcing the imperial edict, the imperial envoy would have asked without hesitation to kneel before Duke Feng of Yun State and admit his mistake.

However, I represent the dignity of the imperial family, and my family is in the capital. If the emperor knew that I didn't stand up to Duke Yun, he would definitely hold me accountable later!

The imperial envoy put his hand on the shoulder of the head of the Sun family to prevent him from falling due to weak legs, but his tone was very tough: "I can't intervene in this matter. Otherwise, Duke Yun, you go back to Kyoto and ask the emperor?"

Gu Nanxi narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I will go back to Kyoto, but I have to finish my work first. Lord Wang, go get the food from Yunzhou."

"Who dares?! That's obviously our food!"

"Duke Yun, although you are a duke, this world belongs to the emperor! The emperor said that all food and grass shipped to Yunzhou must be sent from Kyoto. This is shipped from Jiangnan, Duke Yun, do you want to disobey the order?"

"Duke Yun, with the Imperial Envoy here, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous?!"

The powerful people, led by the Yan family, united closely around the imperial envoy and refused to return the grain.

One big hat after another was put on him, as if they were sure that Gu Nanxi's strength was damaged and they dared not act rashly.

The surrounded imperial envoy's eyes went dark, and he secretly cried out in his heart, "What bad luck!" These Shuozhou tyrants are really inhumane. It's obvious that they wanted to swallow up this batch of grain and grass, and wanted to take advantage of the drought to sell it at a high price, but they pushed themselves to the front!

But I can’t say anything!

Gu Nanxi's eyes swept over the leaders one by one: "Sir Wang, are they the Yan family, the Sun family, the Du family, and the Jia family?"

Wang Buxi looked at the group of people with eyes that were as if poisoned: "It's them!"

Gu Nanxi had a blank expression on his face and dismounted: "I, Gu Nanxi, will remember your friendship."

After Gu Nanxi finished speaking, he didn't even look at the group of people, but walked straight to He Yunyan and bowed deeply to him.

"A man who is noble and generous should not only be kind to himself. Lord He is a true man in the world. Our Yunzhou is located in a remote place, but we have ambitions to reach the world. If Lord He does not mind, would you be willing to come to our Yunzhou to serve as a Sima?"

hiss!

The imperial envoy gasped!

Sima's position was second only to that of the Inspector, and he was mainly responsible for assisting the Inspector in handling military affairs within the state.

But sometimes, Sima would also become a virtual designation used to place some officials.

It is obvious that when Duke Yun asked He Yunyan to return to serve as Sima, he would definitely not give him real power, but this is a slap in the face of the emperor!

The government just got angry and said that He Yunyan would be dismissed from his post and that his three generations would not be allowed to take the imperial examinations and become officials.

Before he finished speaking, Duke Yun invited He Yunyan to be the Sima!

Isn't this just a tit-for-tat confrontation?

The way the Yan family and others looked at He Yunyan changed.

He Yunyan had never expected that Gu Nanxi would actually extend such an invitation to her. She was flattered for a moment: "Duke Yun, I am not good at military affairs, how can I serve as a Sima?"

Gu Nanxi made a gesture of invitation: "Master He is too modest. Some people are good at planning but are always unwilling to send troops. In the end, it is just talk on paper. Master He decisively sent troops to help Yunzhou win a great victory. Such decisiveness is unprecedented in many famous generals in ancient and modern times!"

These words made He Yunyan burst into tears.

He Yunyan forgot that she was not wearing boots and followed Gu Nanxi to the white horse.

Gu Nanxi held the reins and raised his arm, signaling He Yunyan that she could use the force to mount the horse.

He Yunyan stood there in a daze, her lips trembling constantly, as if she couldn't believe her own guess.

Gu Nanxi smiled lightly: "Master He, please get on the horse. Yunzhou should have personally welcomed Master He with a sedan chair carried by eight people, but we have to make an exception due to the urgency of the situation. I will lead the horse for Master He, and we can complete the etiquette later."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials above the third rank could ride in four-person sedan chairs in the capital, and could ride in eight-person sedan chairs outside the capital.

Gu Nanxi's words basically confirmed that He Yunyan would become the Sima of Yunzhou.

He Yunyan was so moved that she couldn't express it in words. With the help of her staff, she rode on the white horse.

At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether you are barefoot or have official boots!
