Lord of the world GL

It has been half a month since Liu Tong left Beijing secretly last time, even though Ouyang Yuling had dispelled his doubts about Bai Yu, Liu Tong did not give up.

In Huaicheng in the early morning, the winter sun is warm, a fast horse gallops out of Huaicheng, and at the same time, a well-trained carrier pigeon also flies out of Huaicheng.

Wu Dongqing, the majestic defender of Huaicheng and the commander of the Chiyu Army, stood on the top of the city tower, with his arms folded on his chest, watching with interest the pigeons he had just released.

"You are not nervous when someone comes to investigate your master." Tian Xiuyuan leaned against the city wall, pointed at Liu Tong who was galloping out, and said to Wu Dongqing. Seeing Wu Dongqing's disdainful smile, Tian Xiuyuan hurriedly asked, "Should you not?" Do you want to send someone to kill him?"

"This is trying to cover it up. I'm not that stupid, and there's no need to say it."

"Why?" Tian Xiuyuan didn't understand. Bai Yu was the real king of Nanyang and the dog thief of Nanyang who Ouyang Yuling hated to the bone. If Ouyang Yuling knew his identity, it would definitely cause an uproar. Bai Yu may not survive the disaster.Thinking of Baiyu, Tian Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a headache. When he left, he urged Baiyu to return when he lost his way, but he didn't expect that instead of returning, he would get deeper and deeper. Now it's all right, his identity has been suspected.Tian Xiuyuan was anxious, and seeing Mr. Wu Dongqing's nonchalant expression, he became even more anxious.

"Didn't he just want to find out about Bai Yu? Just give him a Bai Yu." Wu Dongqing shrugged and said.

"It's okay if you just fabricate a person, but it's not that simple to fabricate his family and business by the way." Tian Xiuyuan expressed doubts about Wu Dongqing's words.

"To tell you the truth, there is really no need to fabricate this. Because..." Seeing Tian Xiuyuan's puzzlement, Wu Dongqing deliberately paused, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Bai Yu really has someone!"

"What?" Tian Xiuyuan was really surprised. He came to Huaicheng, and with Baiyu's recommendation letter, he became an aide in the army, met Wu Dongqing, and also knew Baiyu's true identity. He knew that Baiyu was Nanyang Wang Huangfu Jinyu's pseudonym was outside, but he didn't expect Baiyu to actually exist.

"He is the son of the old Mrs. Bai you met before. The Bai family is a big business family in Huaicheng. There are many grain shops in the three nearby cities. His family's food is enough for our army for several years. "Wu Dongqing said, casually thinking about borrowing food from the Bai family when necessary.He continued, "Madam Bai has three sons, but the eldest son and the second son died young, and only the third son, Bai Yu, is left. For some reason, he does not inherit such a large family business. He travels all year round and rarely returns home. Said Come to think of it, I have a friendship with him. When he encountered robbers, the third master led an army to pass by and rescued him, so the third master hit it off with him. , stay in the army as a guide. To be honest, that kid’s travels are really extraordinary, he is also very familiar with the mountains and rivers, and he has really provided a lot of help for our army to go north.”

"What happened later? Didn't he stay in the army?"

"Once he was attacked, he shot a arrow by mistake and died. Mrs. Bai didn't know yet, or maybe she hadn't come home for so long, she guessed it, and she was just deceiving herself." Wu Dongqing said, looking up at the sky calmly, he had long been used to it The sacrifice of his comrade-in-arms Paize.

"He will stay in the army forever." Tian Xiuyuan said with emotion. After hearing what Wu Dongqing said, he finally understood why Wu Dongqing was so calm, and why the Nanyang garrison would secretly take care of the Bai family.Speaking of the Bai family, Tian Xiuyuan suddenly thought of the shrewd and capable Mrs. Bai, and thought of how she had worked so hard for decades to manage the family business but ended up alone in the end, he couldn't help feeling sad.Wu Dongqing said that Huangfu Jinyu and Bai Yu hit it off, perhaps because of their similar family experiences, or similar personalities, Tian Xiuyuan didn't know, he just hoped that his little jade's final ending would not be like the real Bai Yu's.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Dongqing asked after seeing Tian Xiuyuan's serious face again.

"Are you not worried about your master at all?" Tian Xiuyuan asked back.

"There's nothing to worry about. My third master is resourceful and thoughtful, so we don't need to worry about it." Wu Dongqing said it easily. In his heart, their Nanyang King Huangfu Jinyu is a god-like existence, omnipotent, Be fearless.However, Tian Xiuyuan listened heavily. He was the one who witnessed Huangfu Jinyu's tears. He understood Huangfu Jinyu's fragility and pain under the calm conditions. He couldn't be as peaceful as Wu Dongqing.

Wu Dongqing saw Tian Xiuyuan's serious face again, put his hand on Tian Xiuyuan's shoulder, and said boldly, "What are you thinking about? Let's go and make tea. I want to taste tea today."

"You don't drink tea, you drink it for cattle." Tian Xiuyuan said lightly, joking with Wu Dongqing, but his heart couldn't relax.It has been more than a month since he came to Huai City, and he really misses Baiyu. He thinks of Xiaoyu who tasted tea with him, recited poems and poems, pointed out current problems, and talked about life with him. I don’t know how she is now?

A few days later, Ouyang Yuling, who was far away in the Haojing Palace, finished reading the letter submitted by Liu Tong and smiled. What Liu Tong investigated was the same as Bai Yu himself said at the beginning. Changed Huaicheng people.On the other end, Huangfu Jinyu was silent after reading the letter sent by the pigeon.

"This is not the concubine's pigeon." Li Sihan's eyes were sharp, and she could tell at a glance that this was different from the pigeons that conveyed the concubine's wishes in the past. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the silent Huangfu Jinyu. For some reason, he still looked solemn.

"This is from Wu Dongqing."

"How could it be him?" Li Sihan was surprised, Wu Dongqing had never sent any news before, "But what happened in Huaicheng?" Li Sihan asked nervously.

"Nothing happened. The letter said that Liu Tong was investigating my identity in Huaicheng."

"Oh, isn't that exposed?" Li Sihan was very nervous.

"No, I asked Dongqing to arrange it in advance, and I didn't lie about Baiyu's identity." Huangfu Jinyu's face was calm, but his heart was very uncomfortable. At first, he was to prevent people from the Northern Court from treating him In the investigation of his identity, he did not expect that it was his beloved Ouyang Yuling who was finally caught.

"Haha." Li Sihan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's right, poor Liu Tong went all the way to Huaicheng to investigate Baiyu's identity, but he didn't know that Baiyu really existed, and you just happened to replace him. That's good, Ouyang Yuling has dispelled her doubts about you, and you can do your work better."

Huangfu Jinyu nodded, but did not speak.Ouyang Yuling dispelled her doubts about Bai Yu, she breathed a sigh of relief, but Huangfu Jinyu's heart felt heavy, it turned out that Ling'er did not fully trust herself.He originally wanted to use Ouyang Yuling's feelings for him to realize his wish for peaceful coexistence between the north and the south, but now it seems that the love between them is not enough.

What should he do on his own initiative?Huangfu Jinyu thought about it.

After the last mention of using Enke to obtain talents, Ouyang Yuling really acted resolutely and ordered it to be done. He was recruited in Haojing, recommended by the ministers of the court, the queen set the questions, and the king of Anyang proctored the exam.The ministers of the DPRK and China moved very quickly, and Ouyang Yuling received the list of hundreds of people recommended by the ministers of the DPRK and China within a day, but she was not interested in this Enke, but in the new imperial examination next year.Therefore, she only wanted to try to select the most suitable person as quickly as possible, and did not want to spend too much energy on this small-scale Enke. When it came to her mood of going to court, she still had to think about it carefully.

So after a night of thinking, Ouyang Yuling drew up a countermeasure and decided to conduct three-level assessment tests in three days, namely, essay test, oral test, and practical test, which tested knowledge, eloquence, and conduct. try.The assessment site was chosen in the simplest Mingde Hall.Ouyang Yu ordered people to move her map of Dayang to the Mingde Hall and hang it up. After setting up some tables and chairs, the Four Treasures of the Study, and tea in the hall, all the 130 seven candidates were called together, and they locked them up at will. The topic is free to play.And she and Huangfu Jinyu hid in the palace next door and watched secretly through a special wall.

This literary test lasted for a day, and the papers of 130 seven candidates were rolled up into six boxes. Huangfu Jinyu was the invigilator, so it was inevitable to check the papers, and it was not easy to finish reviewing these papers in one night.That night, Ouyang Yuling expressed that she wanted to keep Huangfu Jinyu in the palace to review the candidates' papers, so that she could help herself, but Huangfu Jinyu promised that she could finish it tonight, and declined on the grounds that it was inconvenient for foreign officials to stay in the inner palace. Ouyang Yu Ling had no choice but to order someone to send boxes of papers to Qingyayuan, Huangfu Jinyu's residence.

In Qingya Garden, Li Sihan frowned as he watched the guards in the palace move boxes of things to Huangfu Jinyu's study, and after the guards all retreated, he asked, "What is this?"

"Enke's test paper today." Huangfu Jinyu replied, opening the box and moving the rolls of test papers to the desk.

"There are so many, and you are the only one watching?" Li Sihan expressed shock.

"Ling'er attaches great importance to this Enke examination, and she can't trust the officials in the court, so she entrusted me with the important task of reviewing the examination papers."

"Then when are you going to see it?"

"I'll finish reading all these papers tonight." Huangfu Jinyu said, and began to read the papers.

"Tonight! Ouyang Yuling is too much, trusting you can drive you around? How can you finish reading so many papers tonight, and let no one rest?" Li Sihan turned around angrily Huangfu Jinyu closed all the boxes he had opened, and wanted to remove the papers on his desk.

"Sihan, what are you doing?" Huangfu Jinyu grabbed Li Sihan's hand, preventing her from moving the paper away.

"Send it back and let her Ouyang Yuling try to read it overnight." Li Sihan replied angrily.

"Sihan, don't make trouble, Ling'er has too many things to do and has no time to take care of them."

"She has a lot of things to do, don't you think you are free? There are a lot of government orders in Nanyang waiting for you to decide, and the concubine's secret letter after another needs you to deal with it. You still have to spend time thinking about the relationship between Nanyang and Beiting. In the future, how can you have time? Besides, you spent so much energy last time, and your body recovered with difficulty, so you have to watch these nonsense things for her all night without sleep." Li Sihan said, casually Looking at a paper, it was really incoherent and messy, and she was so angry that she tore it into pieces.

"Sihan!"

"Such a nonsensical article, I feel an eyesore when I read it, and it's an insult to you to let you read it. It's a pleasure to tear it up."

"Hahaha, Sihan, it's not that serious."

"It's not serious? You are a Nanyang king who occupies half of the country, and you are here to be some kind of Anyang king for Ouyang Yuling and let her drive you." Li Sihan felt worthless for Huangfu Jinyu.

"Sihan, don't get excited." Huangfu Jinyu left the seat, pulled Li Sihan who was flushed with anger, and comforted him softly, "I have my own considerations for doing this, first look at Enke's test questions today. .”

Li Sihan dubiously unfolded the paper in her hand and glanced at it, but after a few quick glances, she had already guessed, "Nanyang... War... There is no second day... Could it be that today's Enke test question is..."

"That's right, Ling... Ouyang Yuling couldn't wait to temporarily accept Enke's scholarship, and then investigated the current North-South situation. His intentions are obvious, and these candidates will undoubtedly be the people she will rely on. Conceptual behavior will more or less affect Ouyang Yuling's decision."

"So, you want to choose some people you are satisfied with, and put them in Ouyang Yuling's court to influence her decision."

"Yes." Huangfu Jinyu nodded and said after a pause, "What I am most worried about is the confrontation between Nanyang and Beiting. Although I have a lot of influence on her views recently, after all, my personal strength is weak, let alone me and her. The relationship between them is inherently fragile, if someone in her court can agree with me and help me balance Ouyang Yuling's desire to send troops south, it will be good for both Nanyang and Beiting."

"Oh, then let's take a quick look and screen out those who are leading the battle." Li Sihan immediately became interested when he heard that this matter was related to Huangfu Jinyu's plan, and hurriedly opened the papers in the box and moved them to the desk , Moved another stool and put it next to the table.

"What for?"

"Watch it with you!" Li Sihan said, seeing that Huangfu Jinyu was still in a daze, he quickly pulled him over to sit down with him, and said, "Look quickly, or you won't be able to finish watching it all night."

Seeing Li Sihan so nervous, Huangfu Jinyu couldn't help laughing, he smiled slightly and said, "Sihan, I can finish reading, I can read ten lines at a glance."

"Then hurry up and read it, you see that you have delayed dozens of lines." Li Sihan said, helping Huangfu Jinyu unfold the paper quickly.Huangfu Jinyu smiled and shook his head, sat down on the seat, and started to look through.

Li Sihan was very excited at the beginning, but after reading a few copies, she was obviously discouraged. She threw another dissatisfied paper under her feet, leaned on the table with her hands on her chin, and complained: "Why are they so long-winded?" ? Write a dozen pieces of paper by yourself!"

"It's rare for the empress to open Enke. Of course they all want to show their talents, so the articles they write will naturally be longer." Huangfu Jinyu said without taking his eyes off the paper in his hand.

"But they are too long-winded. If you fight, you will fight, and if you make peace, you will make peace. Let's be straightforward. As for the so many praises and tasteless words in front of you? My eyes are sore."

"Hahaha!" Huangfu Jinyu laughed without saying a word.

"I really don't believe that these sycophants can be good officials for the country and the people." Li Sihan said, unfolding a new paper and reading it.

Huangfu Jinyu's eyes locked on the paper, and he flipped through it quickly, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes stroked his hair in thought, threw the paper back into the empty box from time to time, and only occasionally put the paper away on his right hand.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and I had seen three of the original six boxes.Huangfu Jinyu piled up several matching papers on her desk, while Li Sihan's feet were full of unsatisfactory papers.

"Sihan, it's late at night, you can go back to your room and rest, I can just look at the rest by myself."

"No, I want to watch it together, I don't want to give up halfway." Li Sihan said firmly, even though she couldn't help but yawned several times.After finishing speaking, she opened another paper, and seeing that it was the main battle again, she couldn't help asking, "Brother Jinyu, after reading so much, have you seen the paper for the main battle?"

"not yet."

"How can this be so, they want to attack our Nanyang so much?"

"It's not what they think, it's the empress." Huangfu Jinyu put down the paper in his hand and explained, "The empress hung up the map that she originally had in Yuxiu Palace, the red cross on the map is shocking, what does the empress want to test What is already obvious, the candidates will naturally choose what they like."

"Then what should we do? Are we going to screen out all the main battlers?" Li Sihan asked, she found that she hadn't left a satisfactory paper yet.

"Of course not. Our intentions are too obvious. It is best to find the peacemaker. No way, we can only screen out those who speak radically." Huangfu Jinyu said, pointing to his right hand The stacked papers said, "Although these people are also the main fighters, they talked about the many difficulties and disadvantages of the war, so I will keep them."

"Oh..." Li Sihan nodded suddenly and said, "I know how to choose."

As they spoke, the two looked at each other quietly, and finally Li Sihan's excited cheers broke the silence of the study, "I found it, I found it... Lu Yanqi, Lu Yanqi." She said, spreading out the paper in her hand to Huangfu Jinyu to read, Said, "He is the peace of the Lord."

Huangfu Jinyu took the paper and looked at it, and it was indeed the Lord's. This person has novel ideas, unique insights, and his words are really good. Huangfu Jinyu was overjoyed, "Lu Yanqi, Lu Yanqi..." He whispered a few times, and put The paper was slowly rolled up and placed on his right hand, thinking in his heart how to make Ouyang Yuling keep him without leaving any traces.

It was so rare to find a test paper for peace, and Li Sihan's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden. She hurriedly moved the papers in the box to the table, trying to find another test paper for peace, but after all, war is the main trend. Maverick, so Li Sihan did not find another master in the end.As soon as he was discouraged, sleepiness immediately took over his mind, Li Sihan only felt his head getting heavier and his eyelids getting heavier, and slowly, he fell asleep on the table in a daze.

Huangfu Jinyu was immersed in reviewing the papers, but he didn't know that Li Sihan beside him was already asleep on the table. When he got up to get all the papers from the box, he realized that Li Sihan was lying on the table, really asleep. sweet.

"Oh, this girl is obviously very sleepy." Huangfu Jinyu gave a doting smile, gently smoothed Li Sihan's messy hair, and called a few times, "Sihan, Sihan..." Seeing that Li Sihan didn't respond, Knowing that she must have fallen asleep, he gently carried her back to the room.After placing the sleeping Li Sihan, Huangfu Jinyu went back to the study to continue reading the papers.
