The carriage stopped outside the Yuxian Gate, and Aunt Gongsun took Guo Song all the way into the palace and came to the Qilin Palace.

Aunt Gongsun took a box and said to Guo Song: "There are many rules in the palace, I will give you a bath and change clothes, but you put everything in this box and take it away when you leave." ”

Guo Song had no choice but to put all the items into the box from his waist bag, Aunt Gongsun saw Yu Lingxuan's dragon pattern jade and Tian Shenyu's jade at a glance, she shook her head and said: "I really don't know what to say about you, don't you call a thief empty?" ”

Guo Song smiled and said: "For this hobby, my aunt forgive me!" ”

Aunt Gongsun wrapped the two pieces of jade with a piece of cloth, put them in the box, locked them into the box along with other daggers, steel chisels, silver and other miscellaneous items, and handed them to the guards: "Help him take care of the items, and the body search will be exempted." ”

The guard was also a warrior of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and when he saw the enshrined gold medal on Guo Song's waist, he hurriedly took the box respectfully.

"Come with me!"

Aunt Gongsun took Guo Song into the Qilin Palace, this is the inner study of the Son of Heaven, most of the time after the Son of Heaven returned to the palace was spent here, so this place is extremely heavily guarded, almost all of them are guards sent by the Hidden Sword Pavilion, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

They waited for a moment in front of the door of the study, and an official came out of it, about fifty years old, of medium stature, with slightly dark skin, and when he saw Aunt Gongsun, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

But his eyes fell on Guo Song behind Aunt Gongsun, Guo Song was dressed in ordinary clothes, neither a guard nor an official, and he must not be an ordinary person to see the Son of Heaven in this kind of dress.

"Chief Gongsun, who is this?"

Aunt Gongsun smiled faintly, "The descendants of the master will order martial arts and bring them to the saint." ”

The official laughed and said: "The future is terrifying! ”

He glanced at Guo Song again and hurried away.

"Senior Aunt, who is he?" Guo Song looked at the official's back and asked.

"Han Rong, the head of the household, have you heard of it?"

Guo Song nodded, "It turns out that he is the famous minister Han Yun, the one who painted the picture of five cows." ”

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came out, bowed down and said, "Chief Gongsun, Your Majesty is invited!" ”

"Let's go inside!"

The two walked into the inner study, which was very large, surrounded by bookshelves, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of books, picture scrolls, and exquisite utensils.

There was a huge desk in the center of the room, and Li Yu sat behind the desk, looking at Guo Song with a smile, and he could see that he was in a good mood.

Guo Song stepped forward and bowed, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Li Yu smiled slightly: "My warriors have returned triumphantly. ”

"Your Majesty's praise, Weichen can't afford it!"

"I won't exaggerate, if you just completed the salt tax task, I will appreciate your hard work, but if you kill Tian Shenyu and return the four states of Biansong to the imperial court, I will reward you heavily for this."

Guo Song sighed, "But some people accused Wechen of breaking the rules and killing local festival envoys without permission, which made Wechen feel uneasy. ”

Li Yu knew who Guo Song was talking about, so he said lightly: "If Tian Shenyu didn't intercept the tax ship, would you kill him?" ”

"No!"

"That's right, if it's really loyal to the court, loyal to my courtiers, will they intercept the imperial court's salt tax at will? Will I treat my decree as waste paper? Such a courtier is a rebel, and everyone will be punished. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!"

Li Yu nodded, "I'm just talking about things, and I only say that Tian Shenyu can be killed." ”

"Wechen understood."

Li Yu took out a box and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "I heard that you like gems and jade, so I will choose some rewards from Li Fuguo's collection for you, which can be regarded as a little reward for my meritorious service." ”

Li Yu pondered for a while and said: "In addition, if you are promoted to Lingwu County Uncle, and other official positions, I will not reward you for the time being." ”

Guo Song bowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" ”

"This trip to Jianghuai has been hard, take a good rest for a few days, if there is anything, your aunt will inform you."

"That Weichen farewell!"

Guo Song said goodbye and retired, and Aunt Gongsun said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty promoted his knighthood, isn't it too fast, he has been promoted from baron to earl in just a few months." ”

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Many young people rely on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors, and they are already county magistrates and county magistrates before they have made an inch. ”

"Your Majesty, what should you do next to deal with Yu Chaoen?"

Li Yu pondered and said: "Today Yu Chaoen came to see me, begging me to determine the emperor's heir as soon as possible, I estimate that Yu Chaoen is going to make a fuss about the establishment of the crown prince, ten days later it will be the autumn hunt, Sijie Khan will also come, it is a good opportunity, he will not let it go." ”

Aunt Gongsun said again: "Why don't Weichen go and persuade King Zheng again!" Let him draw a line with Yu Chaoen as soon as possible. ”

Li Yu walked to the window with his hands down, looked at the sky and sighed: "You don't have to persuade him anymore, Miao'er has already lost his mind, and he is dead set on Yu Chaoen, if he is obsessed again, I will not have this son." ”

Aunt Gongsun was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is cautious!" ”

Li Yu sneered, "Whether it is the importance of the society or the importance of the son, I know very well in my heart!" ”

Aunt Gongsun didn't dare to persuade more, her heart was like a mirror, and the hatred of the Son of Heaven for the Emperor Taishang and Princess Cui was more or less transferred to this son.

Aunt Gongsun also resigned, Li Yu pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Quickly summon Chief Cheng to see me!" ”

.......

Coming out of the palace, Guo Song went back to his mansion first, and as soon as he entered the atrium, he heard a long chirp overhead.

Mamoko poked out of the nest at the top of the tree and looked at him, has this guy come back?

Guo Song lost contact with Mengzi on the way back, probably because he thought the fleet was going too slowly, so he came back first.

Guo Song smiled: "Is this an apology without saying goodbye?" ”

Mengzi retracted his neck, ignored him, and after a while, a long fish bone fell from the nest, and there was still some dried fish meat left in the head and tail of the fish, Guo Song was angry and funny: "I will go to dinner myself, don't bother you to break the bank!" ”

Guo Song took out the key from the crack in the brick and opened the door, and walked into the study, senior brother Zhang Lei had already come today, and put his sword and bookcase on the table.

Guo Song sat down and opened the box given to him by Li Yu, the son of heaven, the box was opened, and a wave of jewels rushed to his face, there were about twenty or thirty pieces of jewelry in it, all of which could be seen to be very valuable, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite.

What he likes is not jewelry, but all kinds of gemstones, although these jewels are inlaid with a lot of precious gems, but to destroy these exquisite jewelry and take out the gems inside, this kind of killing chickens and eggs Guo Song can't do.

Guo Song was really helpless, so he had to close the box, and at this time, he remembered what Aunt Gongsun had told him, so he got up and came to the head of the bed in the bedroom, groped for a moment, 'Click! With a sound, a secret grid was opened at the head of the bed, which was a dark grid made by Aunt Gongsun for herself, which could not be seen by the naked eye, and she had to touch it with your hands to find the opening mechanism.

The dark grid is very large and deep, and can hold a lot of things, so he simply stuffed two pieces of jade and a box of jewelry into the dark grid.

At this time, it was already afternoon, he cleaned up a little, and then went out with his sword, and his horses were also sent back to Qingxuguan, Guo Song rushed to Qingxuguan, and the senior brother Gan Feng went out to do business, not in the temple.

The construction site was in full swing, the third senior brother Zhang Lei had money, and immediately generously donated 10,000 yuan to Qingxuguan, so that the drawings of the Taoist temple were changed again and again, and the original more than ten acres of land in the south of the Chenghuang Temple were also bought, and eventually a large-scale Taoist temple covering an area of at least 30 acres and quite magnificent will be built.

After several months of construction, the Taoist temple on the other side of the river has begun to take shape, and the Golden Body Pavilion has also been repaired to the third floor, which can be completed in two months at most.

The next step is to bring back Master's golden body.

There are quite a lot of pilgrims in the Taoist temple, and several Taoist priests are busy receiving pilgrims, and they can't take care of Guo Song.

Guo Song left a letter for Gan Feng, he took the black horse, turned over on the horse, and ran to Datongfang not far away.
