After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Master Tong thought he had done his best.

He once took such a big blame for the late emperor and worked hard for the Great Zhou for more than ten years. He repeatedly advised the current emperor, but the emperor did not listen.

The consequence is that he caused such a big mess and still wanted to clean up the mess himself.

Is Tong Hanzhang a mean person? Is it necessary for him to go to such lengths?

Isn’t it just being a grand tutor?

He sold it to the Heavenly Family and the Great Zhou Dynasty for decades, and he finally did justice to the books of sages that he read!

Grand Tutor Tong refused decisively, leaving no room for Lord Li. He lowered the curtains of his carriage and went straight back home.

Li Ge Lao was left alone, complaining bitterly. Since Master Tong had given up, who should he send to do the job? !

After much thought, should we send someone who is familiar with Gu Nanxi to make this happen?

Censor Jiang, Lord Li, or Lord Chen?

Lord Li definitely can’t do that!

He is Li Mingde's father. If Roubaozi goes to beat the dog and never comes back, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire of the already precarious relationship between the monarch and his subject?

Censor Jiang is no match for him. With his temper, he might

I urge Gu Nanxi to start a rebellion immediately!

Then only Lord Chen is left.

After Lord Li had made up his mind, he sent someone to Chen's house the next day to inform him of the matter.

Upon hearing this mission, Lord Chen's face instantly fell, as if the sky had fallen.

"Dad, what's with that expression on your face? Don't you want to see my godmother?" Chen Yixuan shouted.

Lord Chen was in great pain and had a sad face.

"Lord Li clearly wants me to show off my reputation in front of Duke Yun. But do you think my reputation has that much weight in front of Duke Yun?"

Chen Yixuan shook his head honestly: "Your face is only worth a hundred or eighty taels, Lord Li is really overthinking it."

Lord Chen's face suddenly turned gloomy. Although his son told the truth, couldn't he have been more tactful in his way of speaking?

Old Madam Chen rolled her eyes at Master Chen and said, "Didn't you ask Yixuan to tell the truth? Why are you still not happy? Honest words are unpleasant to the ear, but you can't even listen to honest words!"

Lord Chen feels aggrieved, and his mother is too much of a fuss. It should be his mother who should be the envoy so as not to waste her talent.

After all, he is his biological father. Seeing that Lord Chen looked like he had lost his parents, Chen Yixuan comforted him with heartfelt comfort.

"Father, if you are really worried, why not ask Brother Nine to come along? Oh, no, Brother Nine is busy there and cannot be away. I will write to Brother Nine and ask him to send some people to go with you to look for Godmother."

After hearing this, Lord Chen felt a little relieved.

Magistrate Song is much more reliable than his own son, and he is also very good at guessing Duke Yun's thoughts.

With his guidance, even if the task cannot be completed, it will not put Duke Yun in a difficult position.

When Magistrate Song received the letter, the Song family was entertaining guests.

The power structure in Xiangzhou is complex and complicated. Although the Song family is the most powerful one, they also dominate in academics and are more of a big brother in terms of reputation.

In fact, the aristocratic circles in Xiangzhou each have their own advantages, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else, not to mention the wave of military generals.

Military generals and civil officials have never been able to get along well.

Originally, military generals and civil officials had nothing to do with each other, and there was no intersection or conflict between the two sides.

However, Gu Nanxi turned the tide with his own strength and took over the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, Yunzhou, Shuozhou, and Hezhong County in one fell swoop, causing the entire civil service group to feel a great crisis and also making the military officers begin to feel nervous.

At the banquet, there was singing and dancing, and the dancers' clothes fluttered.

The guests sat on both sides, clearly separated.

A scholar glanced at the general from time to time and said deliberately: "I observed the sky yesterday. Wen Quxing was getting darker, Wu Quxing was getting stronger, Ziwei was hanging upside down, and Tianquan was getting darker. This is not a sign of a prosperous era!"

His companion echoed, "It is the foresight of the great ancestor who emphasized culture over military power, which enabled the country to maintain stability for many years. It is a pity that the current emperor did not understand the good intentions of the great ancestor and promoted Yun Guogong Gu Nanxi, which led to the situation becoming difficult and causing the country to fall into such a predicament!"

Yo hoo!

Gu Nanxi is the military god of the Great Zhou!

With her around, the military attachés dared to stand up straight.

This pretty boy actually dared to point his sword at Duke Yun. He's so bold!

A muscular young military officer snorted coldly: "If Duke Yun wasn't here, would you still be able to observe the stars at night? I'm afraid the Tartars would peel off your skin and light a sky lantern!"

The scholar was so angry that he stood up and pointed at the young military officer and cursed: "If the Tartars attack the capital, it is purely because of the incompetence of you military officers! I don't deny the achievements of Duke Dingbei of Yun, but what she is doing now is no different from rebellion and treason?"

His companions chimed in: "You are so supportive of Duke Yun, do you have the same idea?"

The young military officer was furious and was about to charge forward with his fist raised, but was stopped by the people around him: "No wonder Duke Yun doesn't like to play with you scholars! No wonder Duke Yun's territory doesn't value you scholars! You are good at talking, but in fact you are full of bad intentions, a bunch of idiots!"

This is really heartbreaking.

The powerful people in Shuozhou were uprooted, and there were no so-called scholars in Yunzhou at all.

Under Gu Nanxi, the only person who could barely be called a representative of the aristocratic family was Wang Buxi, who was still an abandoned child of the Wang family.

The young military officer's words were like stirring up a hornet's nest, causing widespread criticism from the literati.

"Yunzhou is a remote and uncivilized place, where do the noble families come from? Shuozhou can only be regarded as a place of powerful people, but it is not even close to our noble families! We in Xiangzhou have been under the rule of the king for hundreds of years, how can we be compared with those people who call themselves scholars?"

"Since ancient times, our noble families and the emperor have jointly ruled the world, and only then did we have the great China. On the surface, it seems that Gu Nanxi does not use the noble family, but in fact, he is just unable to gain our recognition!"

"That's right. If we are willing to acknowledge Gu Nanxi, I'm afraid she will have to welcome us with drums and gongs."

The scholars became more confident as they spoke.

Yes, that’s the truth!

It was the aristocratic family that looked down on Gu Nanxi, not Gu Nanxi who looked down on him!

Song Zhizhou, who happened to walk in, heard this, glanced at them indifferently, and greeted them with a smile.

"I just received a letter from Kyoto. Please forgive me for the delay."

The military officers suppressed their anger and replied, "Business is more important."

Song Zhizhou tried to sit down and said lightly, "It's not a big deal. My godmother captured Song Shoujie alive, and the emperor wanted to find someone to mediate with her. So, Lord Li found my tenth brother's father, Lord Chen."

"My tenth brother wrote to me and asked me if I had anything to bring to godmother so that I could take it along. I was busy with that just now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the banquet fell into silence.

What?

Song Shoujie was captured? !

In other words, the entire Hezhong County fell into the hands of Duke Yun? !

After a long while, the scholars who were clamoring just now changed their attitude 180 degrees.

"Mr. Song, our academy is planning a study tour. How about joining us?"
