Chapter 224: Avoiding disaster

Gu Du looked at him and said, "Don't be afraid. I recommend you to succeed as the high priest because of public intention. In fact, the reason is very simple. If you attack again, do you think it is appropriate for me to go on the expedition, or for you to go on the expedition?"

Gong Yang Tuo lowered his head and replied, "Of course it is appropriate for the uncle to go on the expedition."

Gu Du said meaningfully: "No need to shirk responsibility, and no need to be afraid. You and I are all ministers, and we should be loyal to our duties. Although the two countries have signed a letter of nationality, there is no day and no two kings. I am afraid that sooner or later we will meet each other. Instead of having their own thoughts and fighting openly and humbly, it is better to work together and prepare for the future."

Gong Yang Tuo raised his hand to greet him and said, "I am taught by the low-ranking position."

Qiao Zheng frowned, Gu Du was talking about him in a slander.

Gu Du turned to Zedi and bowed and said, "Emperor, Gong Yang Tuona will be the only candidate to succeed as the high priest. Please ask the emperor to judge."

Emperor Ze asked, "What do you think?"

Dongfang Buyin said, "I will do my best to cooperate with Gongyangtuo to manage the Imperial Spirit Division, protect the imperial power, and cultivate successors."

The Minister of Wen Zheng said to Tian En, "I will discuss it."

Hua Qingsheng, the Military and Political Department Secretary, said, "I have a comment. I have another matter. I am nearly 70 years old and intends to retire and return home. Please forgive me."

Emperor Ze frowned. When the late emperor asked his orphan to be orphan, He Xuzhuo was already dead. Qiao Zheng abdicated and Hua Qingsheng was about to retire. This situation is a bit ugly?

Gu Du said: "General Hua, please forgive me for being a traitor. The Military and Political Department is different from the Yuling Department. The Yuling Master is involved in his own cultivation. If his own cultivation reaches the upper limit, he will not be able to improve. Therefore, it is understandable that High Priest Qiao retires and abdicates."

"The military and political affairs are related to experience, but the older they are, the more experience they have. Although General Hua is nearly 70 years old, he is healthy and healthy. He thought that he was also on the battlefield and expanding territory and boundaries. What's more, the former emperor asked his orphans and the three important officials had left. Will General Hua work hard for a few more years to share the worries of the emperor?"

Emperor Ze said, "What the uncle said is very true. General Hua, don't abandon me and take a break."

Hua Qingsheng looked at Gu Du and asked him: "Mr. Guolao recommended all his duties, but he didn't know what plans?"

Gu Du replied: "It's true that I want to go back to Mount Tanyuan to meditate. I am only one step away from the peak. Today, I went to court to say goodbye to the emperor and take my three disciples back to Mount Tanyuan. In addition, I also want to accompany my son to visit Mo Xuan."

After pausing, Gu Du said again: "I am very grateful to General Hua for his kindness, but I am the Spirit Master after all. Even if General Hua retires and returns home, the Military and Political Department has no room for me to intervene."

Zedi said, "Now it is not as good as before. My country is no longer poor and weak. This time, Lingguo has forced him to take the initiative to seek peace. The uncle of the country made great contributions, but as the uncle said, he is loyal to his duties and will do his best. I hope that all the people will do their best."

All the officials bowed together and replied, "The emperor is wise."

After the court came, Hua Qingsheng called Gu Du and said, "Uncle Guo, I'll be here tonight and call Mr. Qiao to practice it for you."

Gu Du whispered: "General Hua, I am kind-hearted. I recommend Gongyang Tuo with public intention, but it does not mean that I don't care. I have always been vengeful. I know some things very well, but I don't say them because they are not worth talking about them."

Hua Qingsheng frowned and said, "Uncle, why bother? Our generation is in its twilight years, and you are at its peak. The future of the country still depends on you young talents."

Gu Du said: "The country of Ze is determined by one's heart and the military and civilians. Only in this way can the sword point to the point of the sword and be invincible. It is not just a young talent who can achieve success. Even if I am promoted to the top, if I am the only one who fights, I will never be able to conquer cities and territories and expand territory."

"Oh..." Hua Qingsheng sighed and said, "Uncle, you have the power to overwhelm the sky. Don't be angry about some trivial matters. It doesn't matter if you give the people a real deal."

Gu Du said, "Thank you for the old general's advice, but I was a rebel. When I first came, I said that I was not abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, but just wanting to avenge Jin Lan. Now that my junior sister has become the queen, I owe my junior sister too much, and it is difficult to repay it until I die. Therefore, I am willing to drive the country to the country. As for fame, wealth and authority, I don't care."

Hua Qingsheng frowned and said, "It's not easy for the uncle to speak like this, right?"

Gu Du said: "This is true, I am not afraid of telling the truth. After a long period of time, I have commented that even if I can cover up the mouths of the world, I can't control the comments of later generations. I only want to be ashamed of my heart."

Hua Qingsheng sighed again, Gu Du bowed and said, "I understand the good intentions of the old general, but I can't obey my fate. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll spend less time with you."

"Okay." Hua Qingsheng nodded, raised his hand to salute, and said, "Please, uncle."

Walking out of the palace, Dongfang Bin and Gu Du walked side by side and said softly: "Are you too straight? Are you still so straightforward at this age?"

Gu Du replied softly: "Although Hua Qingsheng did not participate in anything, he did nothing. After all, he was also a entrusted important minister. He fought with He Xuzhuo and Qiao for many years. We are all from foreign countries. Even if we are flattered, we cannot get together with them. He said one thing right. These old ministers are already in their twilight years, but we are at the peak of our lives. In fact, they still have more efforts in the country of this country. I have been arrogant for ten years and it is time to lie dormant to avoid disaster."

Even though he said that, Gu Du was not arrogant. After ten years of conquest, the country rose rapidly and grew stronger from the brink of poverty and weakness, and was almost destroyed, and instead suppressed the country of Ling.

All this is indeed due to Gu Du, but more of it should be due to God's will.

When he was accustomed to life and death, he washed away the dew. Gu Duyue felt that there was a god in the dark, and all he could do was to do his best and leave his destiny.

On the way back to Mount Danyuan, Ye Xiaodong said angrily: "Jiao Zheng, that old man, wanted to go against his master because he was an old minister of the three dynasties. If it weren't for Empress Xia, I would have to cut him down!"

Gu Du said calmly: "It's a pity that you can't beat him."

The way Gu Du teaches his disciples is the same as how he does things, which means that everything is based on his strength. It is not bad to speak big principles, but mostly useless.

For example, if Ye Xiaodong wants to cut Qiao Zheng, if Ye Xiaodong can really cut Qiao Zheng, it will prove that Ye Xiaodong's ability is better than Qiao Zheng. If he cuts it, he will cut it. At his twenties, his ability will be better than Qiao Zheng, and he will be punished and made meritorious in the future.

But the problem is that Ye Xiaodong can't cut off Qiao Zheng, so what's the use of saying such angry words and nonsense? If you have time to be idle, it's better to do something else. Even if you have a good sleep, it's worth it.

Of course, some principles should be discussed. Basic principles such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, respecting teachers and elders cannot be ignored, nor can they be violated.
