I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Why did Gu Yuanbai smile so nicely at him?

What does it mean.

When he left Zhang's bookstore, Xue Yuan was still so dazzled that he almost couldn't distinguish east from west, north from south.But when he saw Chu Wei in front of Zhang's bookstore, who was facing the wind with a jade tree, he woke up instantly.

Chu Wei was accompanied by a book boy, who should have come to buy books.When he saw this group of people, he was also a little surprised. When Gu Yuanbai came out of the bookstore, Chu Wei stepped forward quickly and was about to salute, but Gu Yuanbai held his arms in time.

"It doesn't have to be like this," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "Today you can wear regular clothes, so these etiquettes can be avoided."

Chu Wei then straightened up and said, "Saint Wan'an."

Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, and walked into the street with him, "Is Chu Qing here to buy books today?"

"I want to buy a copy of Daheng Guobao," Chu Wei said with a wry smile. "I didn't expect it to sell so hot. I heard that every day the bookstore opens, and it will be sold out in less than a quarter of an hour."

Since the "Dahengguo Bao" was published, people from all government offices and prefectures have taken the initiative to deliver newspapers to their doors every day. Although one copy is small, it is enough for colleagues to circulate among colleagues in a day.Therefore, when he was on duty on weekdays, Chu Wei never knew that it would be so difficult to buy a copy of "Daheng Guobao".

Today's rest, the father and son of the Chu family are used to reading "Daheng Guobao" every day. If they don't read it today, they always feel that something is missing and feel very uncomfortable.But I didn't expect that "Da Heng Guo Bao" was so hard to buy. Among the bookstores in the entire capital, only Zhang's Bookstore had at least a hundred copies.

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and called out, "Tian Fusheng."

Tian Fusheng stepped forward, took out a copy of "Daheng Guobao" and handed it to Chu Wei, and said with a smile, "Master Chu, take it."

Chu Wei was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled with the spring breeze blowing on the willows.He thanked His Majesty and Tian Fusheng, handed the newspaper to his stiff school boy, and walked with His Majesty.

Xue Yuan on the other side evoked a cordial smile, and said kindly to the two chief guard brothers: "Master Zhang, what do you think of Master Chu?"

The head of the guard said solemnly: "Master Chu is talented and handsome, and he is the pillar of the country."

Xue Yuan's smile deepened, and he nodded in agreement, "Master Chu is such a great talent, no wonder His Majesty loves him so much."

The chief guard said: "The Holy Majesty has always loved talents."

"That depends on whether it is worthy of being loved by the Holy One." Xue Yuan squinted his eyes and raised his chin to signal, "Look."

The head guard looked at Ding Qing in the direction, and saw Master Chu looking at the Holy Majesty with a smile in his eyes, and there seemed to be ripples on his cold face.The most beautiful man in the capital must be unparalleled in appearance. When he looked at people with a smile on his black eyes, it was as if he was looking at a lover.

The head guard was puzzled.

Xue Yuan's voice sounded neutral: "Unfortunately, I have heard that Mr. Chu seems to like men."

The face of the head of the guard changed completely, and there was a strong push from behind, Xue Yuan pushed the head of the guard directly in front of Gu Yuanbai, Gu Yuanbai stopped talking with Chu Wei, turned his head and said: "What?"

The head guard held back for a long time before saying: "There are still more than ten days before the Lantern Festival in the capital. Recently, many people have started to make lanterns. Would you like to take a look, Your Majesty?"

Gu Yuanbai didn't feel something was wrong, but was intrigued by these words.

After crossing over, Gu Yuanbai never went out of the palace when he was not in power. After he took power, he was busy and had never seen the lively festival scenes in ancient times, so he was quite yearning: "But the day of Xiaoman?"

The chief guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Exactly."

Chu Wei answered naturally: "The mother of the minister's family has prepared the materials for making lanterns recently. If the sage is interested, you can go back to the mansion and try it yourself."

The chief guard gave Chu Wei a strange look, and his eyes became vigilant.

Gu Yuanbai was really interested, he nodded and said: "In that case, then I will follow Chu Qing to take a look."

The tension that Chu Wei raised unconsciously dissipated, he responded with a smile, and accompanied the Holy One to guide the way.

Xue Yuan stepped forward with a sneer, and suddenly interjected: "My lord, Master Chu was injured a few days ago, but now I don't know if the injury has recovered."

Chu Wei lowered his eyes, and the haze in his eyes disappeared in a flash. He was speaking, but he did not expect that the Holy One suddenly raised his lips and smiled, looked at him and Xue Yuan meaningfully, and joked: "I don't know, so the two gentlemen have So familiar."

In a word, it directly made the faces of both of them ugly.

Gu Yuanbai didn't know what he thought of, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his head with a smile without saying a word.

Seeing his expression, Xue Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty, I am not familiar with Master Chu."

Gu Yuanbai said with a smile: "I know, there is no need to say more."

What do you know?

Xue Yuan's head hurts.

In this indescribable atmosphere, a group of people came outside the Chu Mansion.Chu Wei's book boy finally regained some alertness, shook his body, ran forward to knock on the door, and when the porter opened the door, he anxiously whispered: "The Holy Majesty is here, please notify the Master and Madam!"

The concierge was stunned: "Huh?"

The book boy pushed him anxiously, "Go!"

The door of the mansion was wide open, and as soon as Gu Yuanbai stepped into the mansion with one foot, he saw Mr. Chu Xun, dressed in ordinary clothes, rushing forward with a messy hair crown. When he saw that Gu Yuanbai really came, his eyes widened, and he immediately gave Gu Yuanbai a hand. Yuan Bai saluted.

"There is no need to be too polite," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "I heard that Mrs. Zun was making lanterns recently, and I was curious, so I came here uninvited."

Master Chu Xun hurriedly said he didn't dare, and immediately sent someone to invite his wife, the screen was erected, and his wife was inside, explaining to Gu Yuanbai one by one in a tight voice.

Gu Yuanbai sat at the table, calm and relaxed.He moved his hands slowly according to Madam Chu's words, after such a short while, Madam Chu also calmed down a lot.

These utensils for making lanterns have been checked by the people around them, so Gu Yuanbai didn't pay too much attention when using them.But when he picked up a slender piece of bamboo and brushed it against his palm, he couldn't help but feel pain. He frowned and saw that there was a tiny thorn on the bamboo piece, and this thorn had pierced into his palm. .

The guards' hands were covered with hard calluses, and the palace servants' hands were used to work even though they were soft. They inspected them very carefully, but this small, almost invisible thorn may have been newly worn under the inspection of these hands. Spikes come out.

Xue Yuan noticed his mistake at the first time, he strode closer, his robe feet flying, he lowered his head and held Gu Yuanbai's hand, after getting closer to see clearly, his voice sank: "Bring the needle."

Someone brought the needle over, but no one dared to pick the small thorn with the needle, and all cast their expectant and encouraging eyes on Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan thought to himself, how many people have I killed and seen so much blood, and I am still afraid of picking a thorn?

But his hands were still in a stalemate, and Xue Yuan finally looked up at the Holy Majesty, "Holy Majesty, are you afraid of pain?"

Gu Yuanbai was about to say that it didn't hurt, when he pricked his palm, Xue Yuan picked out that tiny thorn.

Xue Yuan looked at the spikes and sneered twice, crushed the spikes on his fingers, then smiled at Gu Yuanbai, and said fiercely: "My lord, I have avenged you."

Rough skin and thick flesh, still very childish.Gu Yuanbai was overjoyed, "This little thorn can't do anything to guard Xue's hand."

Xue Yuan's heart moved, he lifted the hand that was still held by the Holy One, lowered his head and blew on his palm, and said: "The hand of the Holy One is also very beneficial."

Gu Yuanbai asked: "How to say?"

"Good..." Good to touch, good-looking, everything is good.

Xue Yuan thought of the kick that was kicked to Zisungen earlier, and his expression twisted slightly for a moment, but he felt that if the Holy One kicked him again, he would kick him, and he felt uncomfortable.

So he said honestly, "It's as soft and easy to touch as jade."

"Your Majesty!" Chu Wei spoke suddenly, his voice raised, overshadowing Xue Yuan's words. He smiled and said softly, "May I check the remaining bamboo and wood?"

Chu Wei said that he has already stretched out his hands, and the hands of these scholars are actually not delicate. Chu Wei has never been a person who is powerless.Gu Yuanbai took a look at this beautiful jade-like hand, shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, I've already done half of it, just be more careful."

It was the first time in his two lifetimes to make lanterns, Gu Yuanbai now had the excitement of a young man, and he was still holding back.Follow Mrs. Chu's instructions as calmly and calmly as possible to tie up the outline, and then paste the lamp paper.

The Holy Majesty was majestic and intimidating when he was in the court hall, but now he looked very serious and approachable.Fingers are flying on the lantern, no matter how beautiful it looks like a painting.

Chu Wei was fascinated by watching it for a while, and when the lantern was completed, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to draw a few red plums on the lantern?"

"Alright." Gu Yuanbai said happily.

The two of them were in harmony with each other, smiling at each other from time to time.Xue Yuan looked at it and became expressionless.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly laughed and let out a silent "ha".

The hand holding the big knife trembled with anger.

After scattered value.

Xue Yuan returned to Xue's mansion expressionlessly.He was covered with a dark evil spirit, and no one in the mansion dared to approach him.

General Xue was urged by Mrs. Xue to come over, with his hands behind his back, and he said with a serious face: "Who are you showing your face in the mansion?"

Xue Yuan slashed across, and a wooden frame was cut in half by him.He didn't stop moving at all, and continued to wield the big knife expressionlessly.

Finally, he threw the broadsword and kicked the weapon rack next to him violently. The weapon rack made a loud bang and fell heavily to the ground.

The boy who heard the sound looked up and saw Xue Yuan's dark face, he immediately shrank his head and ran away.

General Xue shouted angrily: "Xue Yuan!"

"You said last time that I have a heart of loyalty to the emperor," Xue Yuan said suddenly, but he didn't look at General Xue, as if he was in a trance, his face was ugly, "Are you sure this is a heart of loyalty to the emperor?"

General Xue said: "Otherwise what else would it be?"

Xue Yuan's back was tense, his breathing became more and more heavy, the answer was in his mouth, but he couldn't say it.Finally, he tore off his collar and said in a deep tone, "The Holy Majesty wants to attack the nomads."

General Xue was taken aback.

Xue Yuan turned around and faced him, his collar was messed up and his eyes were bloodshot: "I will join the battle."

Ouchi.

Gu Yuanbai was looking at the secret report sent by the Supervision Office.

This is a letter sent back by an official named Sun Shan from the Supervision Office.The situation in Lizhou was reported above. The governor of Lizhou also had corruption, but the amount was not large and the methods were hidden.Originally, Gu Yuanbai only thought that he was involved in the party struggle, but after many days of investigation by the Supervision Office, he found some clues buried deep in it.

After following the clues, what was finally found out was simply disgusting.

In layman's terms, the governor of Lizhou has a circle of friends.

Those who can join this circle of friends are the most powerful leaders in the bandit den.

The magistrate of Lizhou does not greedy local money much. What he likes to do most is to use the convenience of his official position to find out the route of the imperial court's payment and food to various places, or the silver and carts transported by the local government to the imperial court. The route of the food, and then the specific information of the teams passing through Lizhou, when they passed, the road they took, how many people there were, etc., were all reported in this circle of friends.Then the bandit dens in the circle of friends will look at the battles of the delivery teams, choose several bandit den alliances, and go together to intercept these things.

In addition to the share of the bandit leaders, only the magistrate of Lizhou can get [-]% of the intercepted things.

Thirty percent, he can covet 100 taels for 30 taels of silver, and he can covet 100 taels for 30 million taels!

Not only that, the magistrate of Lizhou also sent the route of Lizhou to the imperial tax bank to the circle of friends, guiding these bandits to rob the money and grain collected locally in Lizhou.If there is too much food, then resell it and sell it locally and everywhere, which is even more abominable than simply embezzling state funds!

The magistrate of Lizhou also knew that this circle of friends should be set so that outsiders cannot search or find it, and that friends in the circle cannot add each other.

People in the Supervision Office know the existence of this "circle of friends" because the leader of a bandit den snatched a woman up the mountain to become his concubine. Seeing that the money transported back to the cottage was wrong, she kept an eye on her mind, and she got the Zhizhou incident out of the mouth of the bandit leader.

The woman's world fell apart, and she lost hope of living.When he was sent down the mountain for medical treatment by the little guy in the mountain, he met someone from the Supervision Office.

The people from the Supervision Office have now arranged for the woman, but the woman found that her family was killed by the bandits, and she was completely lifeless. She was afraid that she would commit suicide after they left.

Gu Yuanbai, who had been looking at the secret letter expressionlessly, frowned at this moment, and sighed faintly.

Women, no matter what world they are in, are always more difficult than men.

Corrupt officials, as long as they want to be corrupt, there is always a way. Gu Yuanbai has no desire to comment on the actions of the prefect of Lizhou, but he feels pity for this woman.

Even though she was taken captive to the top of the mountain, she did not sink, did not give up the hope of going back, and still tried her best to inform the government. Such courage alone can be said to be a woman who does not give up her eyebrows.And she is not only courageous, she can notice the uneven distribution of spoils, and learn about the collusion between officials and bandits from the bandit leader is also a kind of excellent intelligence.

It is too pity for such a woman to be persecuted to death by the wicked.

Gu Yuanbai returned to the channel, and if possible, bring him back to the supervision office.

After replying to the letter, someone mailed the letter.

Gu Yuanbai stood up and walked towards the inner hall.The palace attendants took off his clothes and prepared clean water for him. Gu Yuanbai looked up at the carved beams and painted buildings on the pillars in the palace, and said silently in his heart, it would be too cheap to arrest him alone.He had to make good use of his circle of friends to wipe out all these officials and bandits.

He took a long breath, waved away the crowd, and stood by the window.

The lantern made during the day was placed on the table, Gu Yuanbai caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and walked over to light the lantern.

As soon as the warm yellow light was turned on, the shadows of a few simple and spirited plum blossoms outside the lamp were cast on the table.Gu Yuanbai lit the lanterns, his face was bright and dim, but his mood was better.

Peace and prosperity.

When everyone is full and clothed warmly, when the warehouse is full and people know the etiquette, and when they have enough food and clothing, they know the honor and disgrace, that is the real peace and prosperity.

Xue Yuan sat by the bed all night.

Da Ma sat upright, his legs tensed.

The eyes are heavy, carrying the wind and the rain.

Crazy, only restrained in front of Gu Yuanbai.Why converge?Afraid that he would not be able to bear his madness, and that he would hurt him.

But this kind of depressed, depressed state that is about to explode is not suitable for staying with Gu Yuanbai.

But as long as the thought of leaving Gu Yuanbai...

Xue Yuan's hands clenched, bloodshot.

He stood up abruptly and strode towards the wolf pen.Loyalty to the emperor, loyalty to the emperor, his mother's loyalty to the emperor is this kind of heart?

Just like this, the thought of the little emperor smiling at another man who misses him makes him furious?

The little emperor's smile, the little emperor's hand.

The little emperor wanted wolf cubs.

The next day, when Xue Yuan was on duty with the two wolf cubs in his arms, he heard that Gu Yuanbai was ill.

This was the first time he got sick since he vomited blood that day, and it came so aggressively that Gu Yuanbai didn't know what was going on, so he just fell sick so suddenly.

Unexpectedly, all the people in the palace became busy, and the people in the Imperial Hospital hurried. When Xue Yuan came to the bedroom, the smell of medicine was strong, and Gu Yuanbai had already taken the medicine and was resting.

Xue Yuan handed over the two wolf cubs in his arms to the eunuch who took care of animals in the palace, and then entered the inner hall door.Gu Yuanbai nestled on the bed, coughing continuously.

Headache cough, chills all over.

Tian Fusheng was on the side, Xue Yuan walked in and realized that Gu Yuanbai was still talking in a hoarse voice: "...the anti-corruption nowadays doesn't need me to keep an eye on it all the time, you let the Zhengshitang and People in the Privy Council should pay more attention to the matter of Lizhou Zhizhou, just follow what I just said."

Tian Fusheng kept saying, "My lord, you can rest at ease."

There is something in the medicine to help sleep, Gu Yuanbai didn't know whether his eyes were closed or opened, he was a little dizzy, the two months of not getting sick made Gu Yuanbai forget about him How weak.

The quilt was icy cold, obviously various methods had been used, but the heat would always be dissipated by Gu Yuanbai's icy hands and feet.

He was so exhausted that he was so tired that he didn't want to talk about the cold words in the bed anymore, thinking to himself, he would warm up slowly.

There was no movement on the dragon bed, the Holy One didn't like being disturbed while sleeping.Tian Fusheng led the people back, Xue Yuan followed the door god and stood beside the dragon bed. Tian Fusheng called him softly for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll watch here."

Tian Fusheng's voice was as low as a mosquito, "Guard Xue, Your Majesty doesn't like it..."

"Director Tian," Xue Yuan interrupted softly, "I'm hot all over, like a stove, it's fine if I can cover my hands for the Holy One."

Tian Fusheng stopped talking, and glanced at the sage on the bed. Seeing that the sage did not object, he led the others to retreat.

But in fact, Gu Yuanbai was just too uncomfortable to hear their conversation.

The door of the inner hall was closed, and the incense was heavy.Xue Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the beam above his head, and wondered why he fell ill so easily?

He stabilized his trembling hands and suppressed his burning heart.Kneeling on one knee beside the bed, with one hand poking into the bed, only to feel the coldness of the hand.

Gu Yuanbai gave a low cough, and the next moment the quilt was raised, and a hot body was stuck behind him.

Xue Yuan took off his coat and boots, got on the dragon bed, and hugged Gu Yuanbai from behind. Before Gu Yuanbai frowned, Xue Yuan whispered in his ear: "Just to warm you up. warm."

Like a large stove, he approached Gu Yuanbai who was covered in ice, and said in a low voice, his breath was hot: "My lord, only this time, you will beat and scold your ministers, let them be punished and punished." slices, or submerge the subject in the water, anything will do.”

Xue Yuan said, stretching out his hand irresistibly, embracing Gu Yuanbai from behind, and holding his equally cold and frightening hand.

This kind of temperature is so comfortable, Gu Yuanbai's head was dizzy, but he suddenly remembered that Xue Yuan was the heroine of a Tanmei novel, and such a man would like a man sooner or later.

So he said in a hoarse voice, "Get out."

Xue Yuan almost wrapped Gu Yuanbai in his arms.

Apart from the four words bold and reckless, there is no other word to describe Xue Yuan.

But it was because of this that Xue Yuan had the opportunity to hold the little emperor in his arms.

He hugged Gu Yuanbai tightly, "Your Majesty, I have said so. When you warm up, you can punish me however you want."

"I just hope that you will spare my life because of my loyalty to the emperor." Xue Yuan smiled softly, and sighed, "You can break my legs."

The scalding temperature came from behind, Xue Yuan warmed up the whole dragon bed as soon as he came up, Gu Yuanbai became more and more dizzy, before he fell into a deep sleep, he said: "You are allowed to climb the dragon bed once."

Nothing beats my own comfort.

Accustomed to being pampered, and with a strong personality, Gu Yuanbai thought for three seconds, even if he likes men and women, nothing is more important than his own comfort.

If he can warm his bed, he should be rewarded.

Xue Yuan was startled.

For a long while, he felt tight in his chest, "Fuck."

He grabbed Gu Yuanbai's hand, feeling uncomfortably excited because of these words.The whole body was tense, afraid of hurting the little emperor, so he moved back secretly.

Gu Yuanbai noticed that the warmth was slightly away, frowned, and leaned back by himself, pressing over.

The little emperor flung himself into his arms and hugged him again, which made Xue Yuan's loyal heart jump up and down.The entire inner hall was silent, and it was only the noise that caused people to be disturbed. Xue Yuan glanced at the top of Gu Yuanbai's head, then at his own chest, and put his hand under Gu Yuanbai's head, for fear that the annoying sound would disturb him.

Gradually, Gu Yuanbai's body also felt warm, and the fingers in Xue Yuan's hands also began to heat up.Gu Yuanbai was resting on Xue Yuan's body, Xue Yuan couldn't move much, he could only lift up slightly to see how Gu Yuanbai was doing.

When he looked at it, he saw Gu Yuanbai's sleeping face in a deep sleep.

Xue Yuan was mesmerized by his sleeping face.Xue Yuan looked at it for a long time, and he didn't come back until his whole body was numb.His eyes kept looking at the little emperor's lips, the lips were very pale, but they were warmed to red by Xue Yuan's body, so soft and lovely.

Strange thing, why is it that other men are beautiful in the eyes of Xue Yuan, but Gu Yuanbai is not like this?

Oh, no, when Xue Yuan saw Gu Yuanbai for the first time, he also thought he was prettier than women, and he was not manly.

Holding Gu Yuanbai is like holding a baby, the hostility that was so heavy yesterday dissipated in an instant.He was happy and willing to be punished, Xue Yuan felt that he was seriously ill.

His heart was beating more and more violently, Xue Yuan thought, could it be that he was also weak enough to let Gu Yuanbai get sick?

In the end, his mouth was dry and uncomfortable, so he reluctantly let go of Gu Yuanbai, got out of bed and looked for water to drink.

As soon as Nuan Yi left, Gu Yuanbai struggled uncomfortably to wake up from his sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Yuan slowly approaching the bed with a glass of water. He got up, snatched the cup from Xue Yuan's hand, Gululu took a big sip, and fell asleep on his head after drinking.

Xue Yuan looked at the empty glass, and then at the water stain on Gu Yuanbai's lips that slid down his chin.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he tugged at his neckline in discomfort.

He actually wanted to lick the water off Gu Yuanbai's chin? !
