Guiyuan Shu grinned and said, "You don't have to look at me like this. You know I feel uncomfortable. You don't want to have some fun for me. Is it useful to just rely on your mouth? Of course, it's better to have fun."

Zheng Shunshun said: "Sir, do you think it's fun to dance with a macho man?"

Guiyuan Shu said: "You are too much. I feel so uncomfortable. You actually want me to dance for you!"

Ding Man sighed: "It's time for you to take advantage of all your benefits."

Guiyuan Technique looked at these four subordinates: "You are worthy of being called a sturdy man?"

Zhang Chengdong said: "Sir, you have to say that..."

Zhao Shanying continued, "Sir, please dance."

Guiyuan Shu spat, took a deep breath, and then stretched his body: "You have to do something, otherwise I will regret it."

Zheng Shunshun said: "What do you want to do? We will just follow you all the time. Otherwise, we will not be able to explain the two boxes of golden sand after we go back."

Dingman said: "After so many years, we have all adapted."

Guiyuan Technique: "I'm gonna be!"

Dingman said sincerely: "Sir, we need you."

Guiyuan Shu looked at the file again, and there seemed to be something very complicated in his eyes.

It is easy to walk from Yuzhou to Daxing City. After all, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu came to Yuzhou City several times. The road that the emperor walked through was the smoothest in the world.

This time they went to Daxing City, they would inevitably bypass the battlefields of the Ning Army and the Tianming Army, and walked southeast for more than ten days before crossing the river and entering the boundary of Jingzhou.

After arriving in Jingzhou, the team became more and more careful, and Guiyuan Shu felt heavier and heavier, but he could no longer let his brothers see it.

At the same time, Daxing City and Shiyuan Palace.

After hearing the reported news, Emperor Yang Jing suddenly stood up: "How can Prince Wu be like this?"

The new Minister of War Yuchi Guangming leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Wu is a helpless move. Prince Wu's army has run out of food."

The emperor was stunned.

"I... haven't I raised a few batches of food and grass before to send it?"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful because he seemed a little incompetent and even an idiot.

The emperor did raise several batches of food and grass for Prince Wu, but that was just a drop in the bucket for Prince Wu's army. What's more, there was another team that he arranged to transport food and grass to be robbed halfway.

As for whether they were really robbed or the people who were escorted to the food and grass to steal, it doesn’t matter now.

Yuchi Guangming said: "Your Majesty, I think Prince Wu's move is not a fool. The army retreats to the capital. Even if the bandits are besieged, with the ability of Prince Wu to lead the troops, it is difficult for the bandits to break through the capital. I speculate that as long as I hold on for a year, the big thief Li Brother Hu and the rebel Yang Xuanji will be in a situation of both defeat. When the time comes, Prince Wu will be invited to fight, and the bandits can be wiped out in one fell swoop."

The emperor sat down slowly, his face still looked a little ugly, but he knew that this was irreversible. Prince Wu had already returned to his post, so what else could he do?

However, the emperor knew the dangers of Prince Wu's move. To put it nicely, it was to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, and to put it badly, it was powerless.

The Great Chu, which has been defending the capital... How desolate is it that it has become to defend the capital?

"His Majesty."

Li Shang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, leaned over and said, "I think the most important thing at the moment is still to raise food and grass. Prince Wu's army has returned to the capital with more than 100,000 people, and the national treasury is empty..."

The emperor glanced at him: "Do you have a way?"

Li Shang said: "Now outside Daxing City, a thousand miles of land is still stable, and many wealthy families among the people are still loyal to Your Majesty. They..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor understood what he meant.

The businessman has a low status as a wealthy family, and no matter how rich he is, he will not be able to get a prestigious status.

If you can exchange your official position by donating grain and donating money, you may be able to raise some food and supplies in a short period of time.

Those rich merchants gave them a glorious identity and gave them the status of wearing rich clothes, and they were willing to use money and grain to exchange them.

"His Majesty......"

Li Shang looked at the emperor carefully.

After the emperor was silent for a long time, he waved his hand: "You go and arrange it, try to keep the court decent as much as possible."

"I obey the order."

Li Shang looked at Yuchi Guangming, who knew what he meant, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked for the title of Lord Guiyuan Shugui for the former Dali Temple Minister..."

The emperor frowned.

He used the Guiyuan art to make a big fuss about Qingzhou, and then promoted some young talents he was extremely optimistic in the Chongwen Academy. This did make the court's atmosphere suddenly change and indeed brought some hope to the emperor.

Yuchi Guangming and the others didn't know that Guiyuan Shu had defected to the rebel Li Chi, but the emperor knew.

How could the emperor do it if he gave him a reward for a traitor?

However, the brothers of Guiyuan Shu all believed that Guiyuan Shu was really dead, and the emperor took advantage of this to make Yuchi Guangming and others use their means to deal with those old ministers.

If the truth is told to them at this time, the emperor is afraid that they will not accept it for the moment.

"I... have been thinking about it."

The emperor said: "But now there are many major things to be done. I will personally draft what you have proposed after this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The few people leaned over and bowed.

The emperor looked at Yuchi Guangming and said, "You have the talent to lead troops in Chongwen Academy. I still remember that the students were doing tactical deductions at that time. You have never been defeated. Now you are the Minister of War. Don't be too distracted by other matters."

Yuchi Guangming quickly leaned over and said, "I understand."

But they were indeed a little dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to show it too clearly.

Guiyuan Skill is their sworn brother. Everyone is dead. Can't we give some rewards? Besides, this reward is just verbal.

Your Majesty's attitude has to make them a little suspicious.

After leaving Shiyuan Palace, the three of them walked in sync.

"Yuchi."

Li Shang looked at Yuchi Guangming: "Is there any hidden truth about Yuan Shu? I can't understand Your Majesty's attitude."

Yuchi Guangming immediately said, "You can't make random guesses. Didn't your Majesty say that? Do big things first. Relatively speaking, we have mentioned them a few times and it seems a little anxious. Your Majesty did not blame us. We should be glad that we should not say these words in the future."

Li Shang nodded, and he asked, "Your Majesty asked you to go out of Beijing to prepare for a new army. You must be careful. Now in Beijing, the rebels..."

He looked left and right and lowered his voice, "I said before that a thousand miles of land was not safe to leave Daxing City for a hundred miles. You must be careful."

Yuchi Guangming smiled and said, "I still believe more that there are more people who are willing to serve for the Great Chu than those who are willing to be traitors."

Several young people looked at each other and saw their expectations for the future in each other's eyes.

But they all seemed to have forgotten that when the Guiyuan Technique, who was full of expectations, came to them excitedly, they used a large basin of cold water to extinguish the Guiyuan Technique's expectations.

I have to say that because Guiyuan Shu was the only one who was an official at that time, and they were all white.

"I wish you a triumphant return."

The two of them clasped their fists, Yuchi Guangming clasped their fists and returned the greeting, and then took the people away.

Li Shang sighed and said, "It would be great if Yuan Shu was still alive, then the four of us could really join forces to make a comeback." Shiyuan Palace.

The emperor's fingers were gently tapping on the table, his face slightly gloomy.

The gloomy seemed to be the emperor's daily life and the atmosphere in the entire Daxing City. Whether it was the people or the nobles, the gloomy always enveloped the heads.

"His Majesty......"

The eunuch chief supervisor Zhen Xiaodao leaned over and said, "Your Majesty didn't eat in the morning. It's already afternoon. Do you want to have a meal?"

The emperor looked at Zhen Xiaodao, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Is it wrong for me to ask Mr. Fang and the others to go to Yuzhou?"

Zhen Xiaodao dared not answer.

Why did the emperor insist that the princes of Fang go to kill Li Chi?

Because the emperor was actually extremely afraid of Fang Zhuhou, even though Fang Zhuhou had blocked the final killing situation for the emperor again and again.

Think about it, the assassin sent by Yang Xuanji could sneak into the Shiyuan Palace quietly, but was noticed by the big inner guard when he was approaching the Dongshu Room.

However, how many times did Fang Zhuhou enter Shiyuan Palace, but one of them noticed it?

To put it nicely, Fang Zhuhou was considering the old emperor's life-saving grace, so he took special care of the emperor.

However, don't forget that Fang Zhuhou hated the entire Great Chu royal family, and Fang Zhuhou was born in Shiyuan Palace, and he knew this palace city better than those assassins.

Once the prince Fang had any unfair intentions, could anyone around the emperor be able to stop it?

"Little Knife."

The emperor looked at Zhen Xiaodao and said, "Go and find Hui Chunqiu."

Zhen Xiaodao responded quickly and trotted out to send someone to ask the commander of the big guards.

Soon, Hui Chunqiu rushed to the East Study Room. Before he could bend over to greet him, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't give up on the gift, come close to speak."

Hui Chunqiu hurriedly approached the emperor and his body was pressing down very low.

The emperor looked outside the door, then asked in a very soft voice: "At the time, are you sure to fully control the rich men who have contributed to me?"
