I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

The bare foot was held firmly by a man, this weird feeling made Gu Yuanbai's expression darken instantly, he wanted to pull his foot out, but he couldn't resist Xue Yuan's strength.

Xue Yuan did this entirely on purpose.

Gu Yuanbai raised his other foot, which was still wearing a dragon boot, and kicked Xue Yuan violently, but Xue Yuan was already on guard, so he obediently took the kick, and even raised his eyelids, looking towards Gu Yuanbai. Yuan Bai smiled easily.

"Here..." The mist flowed into his throat along with his breath, causing Gu Yuanbai to cough persistently.The foot that Xue Yuan was holding was trembling with his cough. The Holy Majesty coughed badly, but Xue Yuan took off the other dragon boot and threw down the brocade stocking, and the other delicate ankle of the Holy Majesty also fell into it. into his palm.

Tian Fusheng was not here long ago, and there was no one else here.Xue Yuan looked at the little emperor whose eyes were red from coughing, and saw himself holding the little emperor's feet so that he couldn't move, a strange sense of satisfaction rose up.There was no one else here, and the little emperor alone was clearly no match for the strong Xue Yuan.Xue Yuan grinned, almost feeling like he was bullying the emperor.

The coughing gradually stopped, his chest heaved, and Gu Yuanbai's eyes became more and more calm. After he calmed down his breathing, the first thing he said was: "Very good, Xue Yuan."

It was a sentence that Xue Yuan said when he punished him that day.

Xue Yuan couldn't stop smiling, he deliberately brushed across the soles of the emperor's feet, and said slowly: "I am afraid that the Holy One will catch cold, but I am loyal."

"Loyalty," Gu Yuanbai nodded, with a sneer on his lips, and the next moment he said loudly, "Come here."

Dozens of guards suddenly broke into the hall, and the leader was the head guard.He quickly walked up to Gu Yuanbai, and said in a deep voice, "The minister is here."

Gu Yuanbai was about to pull his foot out of Xue Yuan's hand, but Xue Yuan still dared not let go at this time, Gu Yuanbai was about to laugh angrily, "Let go of your hand."

Only then did Xue Yuan release his hand with a smile.

The Holy One walked to the edge of the pool barefoot, turned around and looked coldly at Xue Yuan with a smile on his face, "Throw him into the water."

The guards didn't stop for a moment, they started to move in the next moment. They threw Xue Yuan into the water, and four of them jumped into the pool, holding Xue Yuan to prevent him from escaping.

Xue Yuan didn't struggle at all, and looked straight at Gu Yuanbai, as if he was expecting what Gu Yuanbai could do.

There are many things Gu Yuanbai can do.

The future regent was submerged in the water with his head pressed down, and he was violently pulled up until he couldn't breathe.After going back and forth several times, only the sound of water sloshing violently could be heard in the hall. The hair on Xue Yuan's head was scattered, and his breathing was heavy. It was not until Gu Yuanbai felt that enough was enough that he stopped.

Gu Yuanbai walked to the edge of the pool and sat down, and said slowly, "Xue Yuan, are you comfortable?"

"Comfortable," Xue Yuan gasped, his eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "My Majesty's bath soup, I naturally feel comfortable."

Gu Yuanbai's face darkened, Xue Yuan came here to disgust him on purpose.

Of course Xue Yuan disgusted him on purpose, he got so angry when he touched his feet, what's wrong with being touched by men?He, Xue Yuan, doesn't like men, does he?

The little emperor didn't like being touched, but Xue Yuan couldn't bear it either.

The faces of the guards were full of anger, and the pressure on Xue Yuan increased. Xue Yuan didn't say a word, but occasionally looked at the four guards around him with gloomy and scary eyes.

Gu Yuanbai said with a bad face, "Let him go."

The four guards let go of Xue Yuan reluctantly. Xue Yuan stood upright in the water, and the water in the bath only reached his crotch. He rubbed his wrists and showed a sinister smile with fangs.

"Your Majesty," he said in a good voice, "I serve you to soak in the spring?"

"Go away," Gu Yuanbai said, "Go and kneel outside, and make amends to my pool of spring water."

He was buried in the pool, and he couldn't breathe several times, and he had to apologize to the pool in the end.

Xue Yuan stepped out of the pond, and followed the guards out.This hall is used by the emperor to soak in the spring, so naturally there is more than one spring pool. When he was about to leave this door, Xue Yuan took a glimpse from the corner of the corner and saw the scene of the little emperor getting up and walking to another place.

The water stains on the ground followed the little emperor. The little emperor was still barefoot, and his jade-like feet were cleaner than the white jade material on the ground.Xue Yuan also dragged his whole body in water, he thought, the little emperor is so weak, with thin clothes and bare feet, could he be sick?

Xue Yuan couldn't help laughing.

How can a person be so weak?

After Gu Yuanbai came out of the palace, he had already changed into a clean and tidy inner garment.

The other clothes were held in the hands of the palace servants, and they put them on for him one by one when he left the palace. The maid wiped off his hair and put water on his hair, saying: "Your Majesty, the new Jinshi has already praised the official, and the streets are lively." Very good."

"Today is a good day for the Jinshi of the new department," Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, "It's right to be happy for being named on the gold list."

The imperial court will spend a lot of money after each examination, just to give new subjects a dream-like title day on the gold list. The more famous the imperial court makes the scene, the more scholars all over the world will yearn for the imperial examination.

Gu Yuanbai was happy to see this kind of scene come to fruition, "In two years, when the martial arts competition comes, it will be even more lively."

The martial arts examination in the Daheng Dynasty is held every five years, and the selected martial arts students have the same treatment as the new Jinshi.The students who are selected for martial arts are not only tested on personal military skills and physical strength, but also need to be familiar with military books, familiar with different geographical situations, and also need to test various issues such as sand table attack, camping, plank road food, surprise attack and defense.

If the imperial court wants to make any big moves now, it will still be restricted by the treasury, but the best food, grass and money are closely related to the soldiers of Daheng. The infantry can eat coarse grains and dry biscuits every day, and the heavy infantry and cavalry can occasionally eat To meaty.But this is not enough. If Daheng's soldiers are to be strong, tall and strong, they must also be supplemented with meat and fruits.

This winter, Gu Yuanbai originally planned to take advantage of the lack of food and oil for the border nomads to open up the border mutual market, to open up the circulation channels for the ethnic minorities to raise cattle and horses, to buy good animals with low-priced money, and then sell some of them at high prices. When they go to the rich and prosperous land of Daheng, some of them will be used as military pay to raise soldiers and horses, and add fuel to them.

But one of his wind and cold has dragged this winter day, and he can only wait for the next opportunity.

Gu Yuanbai valued soldiers and was willing to spend money to raise them. Of course, Daheng's soldiers knew that too.This winter has not yet arrived, and there are winter clothes sent by the Holy Majesty in the middle of autumn.The salary has never been in arrears, and the salary is paid on a monthly basis. If the soldiers take the initiative to collect it, the salary must be distributed to everyone.There is a supervisory office in the army to prevent people from stealing private property or oppressing soldiers. When distributing salaries, high-level generals have to sit in person regardless of wind and rain.

The people in the supervision office in the army are also very good. They have already deeply engraved Gu Yuanbai's brainwashing education in their minds, and they have not slackened in sharing with the surrounding military friends the kindness of the Holy Majesty to treat the soldiers. .

Although Gu Yuanbai couldn't show up for the matter of paying the salary, the soldiers always kept in mind "the benevolence of the sage", and they felt that they were fighting for the sage, not for the general.No matter what the generals and captains think, anyway, the people in the supervision office are proud and full of fighting spirit.

Just because the Holy One treats them preferentially, they are more motivated.The imperial guards in the palace were also diligent and diligent, not daring to slack off.The last time when we dealt with several forbidden soldiers who were fooled by Li Huan, the soldiers in the palace were even more angry than Gu Yuanbai.

It was not the first time for Xue Yuan to enter the palace, but it was also the first time to have close contact with the guards in the palace.As soon as they walked outside the hall, the guards stared at him with heavy eyes, as if they wanted to kill Xue Yuan on the spot.

Even more exaggerated than the guardian's dog.

The head of the guard Zhang Xu said coldly: "Since Mr. Xue entered the palace and became the guard of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty must take the lead. The Holy Majesty's thoughts are our goal, and the Holy Majesty's orders are the meaning of our existence."

Xue Yuan was wet all over, and the bodyguard's uniform was soaked close to his strong and powerful body. The strength accumulated in his muscles was not inferior to those of the guards. He was like a wild wolf ready to go, looking for an opportunity to explode.

"Master Zhang said," Xue Yuan put on a gentle smile and said slowly, "I am also concerned about the body of the Holy One."

Zhang Xu's guard didn't know what happened before they entered the palace, but he obviously didn't believe Xue Yuan's words at the moment, he snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "It's best to be like this."

The guards beside Zhang Xu looked at Xue Yuan unkindly, but none of them spoke first.Xue Yuan found a place to kneel down, straightened his messy hair, and when the clothes on his body were almost dried by the sun, there was finally a sound from the hall.

Xue Yuan looked back, and saw that the little emperor's complexion was slightly rosy, and compared to his previous paleness, he looked much healthier now.Xue Yuan lowered his head, and the bright yellow dragon boots on the little emperor's feet were gone, replaced by a pair of crescent-white boots embroidered with dragon patterns. Presumably, the pair he had touched before would never be seen again.

All the things used by the emperor are of the highest quality. If there is water in the hair, the water drops will not stick to the clothes, and they will immediately slip off the clothes like beads.

As Gu Yuanbai was walking, he was talking to the little eunuch beside him. Tian Fusheng was driven to rest by him, and now Tian Fusheng's little apprentice was by his side, "When I go to bed at noon, go and send the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to the eunuch Zhengshi summoned them and ordered them to meet me in the Xuanzheng Hall in an hour."

"Yes," the little eunuch wrote down carefully, hesitant to speak but stopped, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten yet..."

"I'm not hungry," Gu Yuanbai frowned, thought about his stomach, and then sighed and compromised, "Let's pass on the meal, let the imperial dining room make a few less dishes, and make some light and nourishing stomachs, so it doesn't cost much thought."

"Yes."

It is said that there is no need to bother, but the meals used by the Holy One have become less and less these days, and many chefs in the imperial dining room are already feeling uneasy. They are so anxious that they can't wait to show their martial arts in their lives.

The Holy Majesty wanted to eat something light, and when it was finally on the table, Gu Yuanbai saw a dish of white jade tofu with creamy skin.The white jade tofu is warm and hot without any scratches. It is really like jade. It is sprinkled with rice noodles and soup ingredients. When you dig it with a spoon, it melts in your mouth.

In addition to the white jade tofu, the imperial dining room also serves small and exquisite dumplings. The fresh juice bursts out in the mouth after one bite. The skin is so thin that it seems to be transparent. The vinegar dish is placed aside. This dumpling is the size of a child. , Gu Yuanbai ate and ate, and ate a lot.

The palace attendants around him all had joyful smiles on their faces. After all, Xue Yuan was the son of General Xue, and he, like Zhang Xu, served on both sides of Gu Yuanbai. At this moment, they were standing in the hall, watching the Holy One use with meals.

Guard Zhang Xu watched silently for a while, and couldn't help showing a restrained smile on his face.

After finishing the meal, Gu Yuanbai was washed by the waiter, and went into the inner hall to take a rest.

The doors and windows in the hall were closed, and he was drowsy, his body was extremely lazy because of soaking in the spring, and it didn't take long for Gu Yuanbai to completely fall into sleep.

Gu Yuanbai was awakened by discomfort.

He sat up halfway, his throat was dry and hoarse, and the dizziness in his head not only didn't decrease, but became heavier, as if it was filled with water, so heavy that he couldn't lift his head.

"Come here..." There was a pain in his throat and tightness in his chest. Gu Yuanbai grasped the bed frame tightly and breathed heavily.

He probably hasn't slept enough for an hour, there is no one in the inner hall at the moment.Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes, and after recovering his strength, he picked up the jade pendant next to the bed and threw it heavily on the ground.

A moment later, a group of people broke into the inner hall, and the hall suddenly burst into light, Gu Yuanbai frowned.

"Holy!"

The guard Changfu was startled when he saw Gu Yuanbai's face, he turned his head and ran outside to call the imperial doctor.Gu Yuanbai coughed a few times, the palace attendants were a little flustered, those who poured water poured water, those who brought towels took towels, and the braziers brought one by one, and they also dressed better for the Holy One.

Xue Yuan stood aside, looking at Gu Yuanbai's appearance, he didn't expect him to be really sick.

This is really...too delicate.

Gu Yuanbai was supported to stand up, his feet protruded out of the bed, the little eunuch was about to put on his shoes and socks when he was pushed aside.

Xue Yuan knelt down on one knee, and grasped Gu Yuanbai's feet skillfully and naturally. As soon as he held it, his brows tightened, like a loyal minister, he said worriedly: "Why is it so cold?"

His palms were hot, and the heat was extremely comfortable, at least more comfortable than wearing shoes and socks.

Gu Yuanbai put on a fox fur, and sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, showing a burnt expressionless face from under the quilt, he looked at Xue Yuan, as if he was looking at a beast with useful fur.He ordered in a hoarse voice: "Then you will warm up Zhen Wu."

Xue Yuan raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He stuffed the little emperor's jade feet into his bosom, put them in front of his lower abdomen, and covered them with his sleeves layer by layer, saying: "I obey the order."
