The coughing gradually stopped, (chest xiong) his mouth rose and fell, and Gu Yuanbai's eyes became more and more calm. After he calmed down his breathing, the first sentence he said was: "Very well, Xue Yuan."

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

Xue Yuan kept smiling. He deliberately stroked the emperor's feet and said in a slow voice, "The minister is afraid of the cold, but he is loyal."

"Faithful," Gu Yuanbai nodded, sneered at the corners of his lips, and said loudly in the next moment, "Come here."

Dozens of guards suddenly broke into the hall, and it was the chief guard who took the lead. He walked quickly to Gu Yuanbai and said in a deep voice, "The minister is here."

Gu Yuanbai wanted to withdraw his foot from Xue Yuan's hand, but at this time Xue Yuan still dare not let go. Gu Yuanbai was about to laugh angrily, "Let me let your hand go."

Xue Yuan smiled and let go of his hand.

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

The guards didn't even pause. They moved in the next instant. They threw Xue Yuan into the water. Four of them jumped out of the pool and held Xue Yuan to prevent him from escaping.

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

There are so many things Gu Yuanbai can do.

The future regent was crushed and sunk in the water, until he couldn't breathe, he was violently pulled up. After going back and forth several times, only the sound of the violent shaking of the water was heard in the hall. The hair on Xue Yuan's head spread out and he breathed heavily. It was not until Gu Yuanbai felt enough that he let people stop.

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

"Comfortable," Xue Yuan screamed and gasped, his eyes glowing with red blood, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "The sage's bath soup, the minister naturally feels comfortable."

Gu Yuan's face sank, and Xue Yuan came to disgust him deliberately.

Of course Xue Yuan disgusted him deliberately, (touching Mo) he was so angry when he touched his foot, it was all men (touching Mo) what happened? Does Xue Yuan also like men?

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

The guards' faces (colors) 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 with gloomy and scary eyes.

Gu Yuan's face was unsightly, "Let go of him."

The four guards let go of Xue Yuan reluctantly. Xue Yuan stood straight in the water, and the water in the bath only reached his crotch. He rubbed his wrist and (showing) a grimace with fangs.

"Holy," he said in a good voice, "the minister is waiting for you to soak in the spring?"

"Get off," Gu Yuanbai said, "Go outside and kneel and make amends for my pool of spring water."

He was buried in the pool, and he couldn't catch his breath several times, and in the end he had to make amends with the pool.

Xue Yuan stepped out of the pool and walked out with the guards. This hall was used by the emperor to soak in the spring. Naturally, there was more than one spring pool. When he was about to leave this door, Xue Yuan took a glimpse of the gap in the corner and saw the picture of the little emperor getting up and walking to another place.

The water stains on the ground followed the little emperor all the way, the little emperor was still barefoot, and his jade-like feet were even cleaner than the white jade on the ground. Xue Yuan also dragged his whole body of water. He thought, the little emperor (body shen) is so sick and weak, with thin clothes and barefoot, will he get sick?

Xue Yuan couldn't help but smile.

How can a person be so weak?

*

After Gu Yuanbai came out of the temple, he had already put on a neat and tidy shirt.

The other clothes were held by the palace attendants, and when he was out of the hall, they put on him one by one. The palace lady wiped off the water drops for him, saying: "Holy, the Shinke Jinshi has finished complimenting the official, on the street It's very lively."

"Today is a good day for the new graduates," Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, "Golden list title, happy is what it should be."

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

Gu Yuanbai was pleased to see the success of this scene, "When the martial arts exercises come in two years, it will be more lively then."

The martial arts of the Da Heng Dynasty are held every five years, and the selected martial arts students have the same treatment as the Xinke Jinshi. The martial arts students not only test their personal military skills and physical strength, but also need to be familiar with military books, familiar with different geographical situations, and also need to examine various issues such as sandboard push, camping, plank road food, surprise attack defense and so on.

What big moves the court wants to do now will still be restricted by the treasury, but the best food, grass, and money is tightly tied to the soldiers of Daheng. The infantry's coarse grain and the (dry gan) cakes can be full, heavy infantry and cavalry occasionally. You can still eat meaty fish. But this is not enough. To make the soldiers of Daheng powerful, tall and strong, the necessary food and fruits should also be supplemented.

This winter, Gu Yuanbai originally planned to open the border exchange market when the border nomads were short of food and oil, to open up the circulation channels for raising cattle and horses among ethnic minorities, and to buy good livestock with low-cost money, and then sell some of them at high prices. In Daheng's rich and common land, part of it is reserved for the army and the soldiers and horses, and they are given a cheer.

But one of his cold winds prolonged the winter for a long time, and he could only wait for the next opportunity.

Gu Yuanbai values ​​soldiers and is willing to spend money to raise them. Of course Daheng's soldiers also know. This winter has not yet arrived, and there will be winter clothes issued by the holy in the middle of autumn. The payment has never been in arrears, and the payment is distributed on a monthly basis. The soldiers take the initiative to collect the payment, and the payment will be distributed to everyone. There is a supervision office in the military to prevent people from embezzling or oppressing soldiers. When distributing payment, high-level generals must take the seat in person regardless of wind or rain.

An (insert cha) people in the Military Supervision Office are also very advanced, they have long deeply embedded Gu Yuanbai’s brainwashing education in their minds, and they have worked tirelessly with the surrounding military friends Anli A heart that treats soldiers favorably.

Even though Gu Yuanbai could not show up on the issue of paying for the payment and silver, what the soldiers remembered in their mouths were all "Holy benevolence". They felt that they were fighting for the holy, not for the generals. . No matter what the generals and captains think, the people in the Supervision Office are proud and full of fighting spirit.

They are more energetic just because the sage treats them preferentially. The imperial army in the palace was also diligent and not daring to relax. The soldiers in the palace were even more angry than Gu Yuanbai when they dealt with several imprisoned soldiers who were fudged by Li Huan last time.

Xue Yuan was not in the palace for the first time, but it was the first time he had 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 couldn't wait to kill Xue Yuan on the spot.

It's more exaggerated than the dog who protects the lord.

The guard Zhang Xu said coldly: "Since Xue Gongzi has entered the palace and has become the guard of the sage, he must be the sage. The idea of ​​the sage is the goal of my waiting, and the order of the sage is that I wait for existence. Meaning."

Xue Yuan was soaked in his guard uniform, and clings to his (强qiang) strong body. The power accumulated in his muscles does not lose to these guards. The whole person is like a wild wolf ready to go. Looking for an opportunity to violent.

"Master Zhang said," Xue Yuan said with a gentle smile, "The minister is also concerned about the body of the saint."

Guard Zhang Xu didn't know what happened before they entered the hall, but he obviously didn't believe Xue Yuan's remarks 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 with bad eyes, but none of them spoke first. Xue Yuan found a place to kneel down and straightened the scattered hair strands again. After the clothes on his body were almost dried by the sun, there was finally a noise in the temple.

Xue Yuan looked back and saw that the little emperor's face (color) was slightly ruddy, and now he looked much healthier than his previous paleness. As Xue Yuan lowered his head, the bright yellow (color) dragon boots on the little emperor's feet were no longer there. Instead, they were replaced by a pair of crescent white (color) embroidered dragon boots. I can't see it anymore.

The things used by the emperor are all top-notch objects. If there is water on the hair, the water droplets will not stick to the clothes, they can immediately slide off the clothes like beads.

Gu Yuanbai talked to the little **** next to him as he walked. Tian Fusheng was rushed to rest. Now he is attending Tian Fusheng’s little apprentice. "When I sleep at noon (sleeping in Shui), you go to general The Minister Shoushu and the Counselor Zhizheng were summoned and ordered them to see me in the Palace of Xuanzheng an hour later."

"Yes," the little **** jotted it down carefully, and then stopped talking, "Holy Lord, you haven't eaten yet..."

"I'm not hungry," Gu Yuan frowned, thought about his stomach, and sighed to compromise. "Pass the meal, let the imperial dining room do a few less, and make some light stomach nourishment, no extra cost. thought."

"Yes."

It doesn't take much effort, but in recent days, the food used by the sage has become less and less, and the many chefs in the imperial dining room are already worried and anxious to want to use their life martial arts. They dare not worry at all.

The saint wanted to eat light things, and when he finally served the table, Gu Yuanbai saw a white jade tofu with a creamy skin. The white jade tofu is warm and hot, there are no half-threads of scratches, it is really like jade, it is sprinkled with rice noodles and soup, and the spoon melts when you dig it.

In addition to the white jade tofu, the Yushanfang also served small and exquisite dumplings. The fresh juice burst in the mouth with one bite. The thin skin was almost transparent. The vinegar dish was placed aside. The size of this dumpling can even be a child. Gu Yuanbai ate and ate a lot.
