The powerful and civil and military officials in the entire Bianjing City all knew that after Gu Tingye of Ningyuan Marquis, Gu Tingye was expelled from the Gu family! But although Gu Tingye was expelled from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he was not expelled from the Gu family, which is worth pondering.

It is said that it was because Gu Tingye was naughty and insisted on taking the humble outer room into the mansion that Gu Yankai, the Marquis of Ningyuan, was angry and his father was angry. This was a serious crime. It would have been lighter to drive him out of the family and get rid of his clan. If Gu Tingye's stepmother Xiao Qin sued Gu Tingye on this ground, then those who were waiting for Gu Tingye would probably be exiled.

But the reaction of the Gu family was really strange. Some people said that Gu Tingye's stepmother Xiao Qinshi was kind-hearted. Gu Tingye thought that Gu Tingye was the blood of the Gu family after all, but there was never a lack of smart people in this world. The reason could not stand the scrutiny. However, everyone was stubborn and did not investigate too much.

After all, among those martial arts families, there is nothing dirty in that family, and there are intrigues and struggles for power and profit in those big mansions, it is just a fight for success or defeat.

But the current situation made everyone feel a little confused.

Wei Yun strongly recommended Gu Tingwei to the southwest, but Gu Tingye disagreed.

Although Wei Yun said it nicely, where is the southwest, the border, and the barren land. Although it is not as bitter and cold as the northwest, how can it be compared with Bian Jing? To put it nicely, Gu Tingwei asked him to go over and take charge, and use the name that Ningyuan Hou Mansion and Gu Tingye had just made to shock the two forces in Dali.

But it sounds bad, it's almost no different from being a spit.

The southwest is different from the northwest and northern borders. There are only small border countries such as Dali and Jiaozhi in the southwest. The national strength of these two countries is even stronger among the fifteenth Dazhou Road and even the most remote Guizhou Road and Guangxi Road are stronger than them, let alone the entire Dazhou.

On the jade stairs, Emperor Yong'an, who was sitting on a dragon throne, said in a deep voice: "I will consider this matter!"

A pair of deep eyes that looked like black holes flowed with glimmer lights. Emperor Yong'an's eyes fell on Gu Tingye, but he did not agree immediately.

Emperor Yong'an had already spoken to the court officials and naturally had no choice but to say anything. After all, this was not a big deal. It was not necessary to fight against Emperor Yong'an, and Empress Dowager Cao, who was behind the curtain, also thought so. Moreover, Gu Tingye was obviously a close minister of the new emperor, so even if he was disgusted, he would be good.

Gu Tingye breathed a sigh of relief, although his stepmother Xiao Qinshi, and his elder brother, despite his uncles and brothers in the Gu family, had always had a hint of brotherhood in his heart for this third brother Gu Tingwei, who he had been young.

Wei Yun was not surprised at all. He seemed to have expected this result to be so very refreshed and bowed to Emperor Yong'an and retreated into the crowd.

··········

After dispersing to the Grand Palace in the morning, Gu Tingye grabbed Wei Yun.

Wei Yun said, "I don't worry, I know what Instructor Gu is going to ask. This is not a place to speak. Let's find a place to talk later after leaving the palace later, how about we'll talk about it in detail?"

Gu Tingye looked at Wei Yun with a faint look, but he was a smart person, so he naturally knew that what Wei Yun was saying was reasonable. Although he had questions in his mind, he still nodded heavily.

Unexpectedly, after the two of them took a few steps, an eunuch ran over and blocked their way, saying that Emperor Yong'an summoned him and ordered him to go to Yangxin Temple to meet him and discuss with him.

The two followed the eunuch to Yangxin Hall tacitly.

In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Yong'an opened a small piece of land in the middle of the Yangxin Hall, laying the fertile soil transported from the imperial village outside the city. Last winter, the middle and lower wheat seedlings had broken through the ground, and short wheat seedlings were bathed in the sun and grew vigorously.

"I am here to see Your Majesty! Meet the Queen! Meet the King Huan!"

Emperor Yong'an was holding a hoe and climbing over the soil in the field. The queen, King Huan and Chen Congxing stood aside and watched. Wei Yun and Gu Tingye saluted the three of them.

"No gifts and politeness!" Emperor Yong'an's face was filled with a bright smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the two said in unison.

Looking at Emperor Yong'an who was tied and climbing, rolled up his sleeves and trousers, Wei Yun was a little dazed for a moment. The person who was personally ploughing in front of him turned out to be Emperor Yong'an!

"Do you know what the hell is that I called you two here?" Emperor Yong'an held the hoe and looked at the two of them sideways.

Wei Yun and Gu Tingye looked at each other, and Wei Yun bowed and said, "It must be for the sake of the wealth minister suggesting Gu Tingwei to go to the southwest in the court just now!"

Emperor Yong'an was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "Then Wei Qing, let's talk about it. Why did he suddenly mention this? And he had to let Gu Tingwei go?"

What is the relationship between the civil strife of Dali and the Great Zhou? Although there are diplomatic relations between the two countries, the relationship is average. Moreover, with the strength of Dali, he certainly dare not violate the Great Zhou.

What Wei Yun said was just to seize the small loophole and magnify it infinitely, but this was the case, which made Emperor Yong'an, Empress Dowager Cao, and even the Dukes of the Court unable to refute and refuse.

Wei Yun said: "Be brave for me. Before answering Your Majesty's question, I have a question that I want to ask Your Majesty! I wonder if it is possible?"

Emperor Yong'an had enough rest, continued to wave his hoe, flip through his small piece of soil, and said, "Waiqing has any questions, but it's okay to ask!"

Queen Chen, who was standing beside her, also looked at Wei Yun curiously.

Wei Yun bowed to Emperor Yong'an and asked with a smile: "I want to ask Your Majesty whether you want to be a rich and virtuous king, or a hero who expands his territory!"

The hoe in Emperor Yong'an's hand paused, his eyes narrowed, and it instantly became extremely deep, as if he could swallow all black holes in the starry sky, but he immediately recovered from ancient Jing Wubo. He turned his head and looked up at Wei Yun, and asked, "What about the king who guarded the achievements? So what about the king who expanded the territory?"

Wei Yun said: "If you are the king who is guarding the leadership, then your Majesty can reject all the words of the ministers and ignore the internal chaos in Dali! But if Your Majesty wants to be the king who expands territory, you must not underestimate this civil strife in Dali!"

Emperor Yong'an said: "How can I explain this?"

Wei Yun said: "In the current Dali Kingdom, there is Yang Yunxian rebellion outside, and the Gao clan holds great power inside, which undermines the Dali king. Although the Dali king has the intention to suppress the rebellion, he has no power to suppress the rebellion. He can only ask for help from the Gao clan. But if the Dali king really spoke this, it would be hard to say whether the Dali Kingdom will be surnamed Duan or Gao in the future!"

Emperor Yong'an's hand holding the hoe couldn't help but tighten. He looked at Wei Yun's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Dali is only effective in the southwest border, and its territory is even worse than that of our Great Zhou, and its national strength is even weaker. No matter how its domestic power changes, it is insignificant to our dynasty!"

Wei Yun shook his head slightly and said, "Weichen has a little different opinion on this!"

Emperor Yong'an became more and more curious: "For different opinions, I have to listen carefully!" Emperor Yong'an put down his hoe and walked into the hall from the steps. While scrubbing his hands and feet with the water brought by the palace maids, he said: "There are only a few of us here. If Wei Qing has anything to say, just say it, no need to worry!"

Queen Chen next to him also looked at Wei Yun with a smile and said, "I am quite curious about the Wei Qing family's views!"

Wei Yun smiled and looked at King Huan Zhao Ceying beside him and asked, "Do you know how the King Huan knows the difference between Duan and Gao clans in Dali?"

Although Zhao Ceying didn't expect Wei Yun to suddenly ask himself, although he was a little surprised, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "The Duan clan of Dali believes in Buddhism. Emperors of all dynasties finally converted to Buddhism, but the Gao clan is not. The Gao clan was originally a relative of the foreigners, and then gradually gained power and became more and more ambitious. He gradually undermined the Duan clan and the king of Dali. He was named a minister, but was actually a traitor, and everyone was punished!"

Our King Huan is still a little angry at heart, but from his perspective, the Gao clan deserves to die.

Wei Yun smiled and said, "King Huan is well aware of the situation in all countries in the world, and I admire him!"

"Mr. Wei praised it!" King Huan still had a bit of indignation on his face.

Before Wei Yun could speak, Gu Tingye, who was standing beside him, said first: "Mr. Wei wants to say that the Duan clan advocates Buddhism and does not like war. Therefore, if the Duan clan is in charge, I will naturally be at peace when I go to the southwest border.

But the Gao clan is ambitious. If they let them take power from Dali, they are afraid they will not be willing to continue to live in the southwest border. There is no problem in the world in peace. But if our dynasty wants to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it will inevitably fight with the Liao Kingdom. At that time, the Gao clan would definitely not sit idly by!

Although Dali is small and its national strength is weak, it cannot be ignored. At that time, if the Liao Kingdom Alliance and Xixia, Tubo, Dali and other countries were fighting against our dynasty, no matter how strong our national strength is and how many troops are, we may not be able to catch it!"

After Gu Tingye said that, he turned around and looked at Wei Yun and asked, "I wonder if what Gu said is what Mr. Wei is thinking in his heart?"

Wei Yun smiled and said, "Yes, what Commander Gu said is exactly what Wei Chen is thinking!"

Emperor Yong'an was a little confused: "How can a mere Gu Tingwei be but a playboy who is useless all day long and only knows how to take on this important task?"

Gu Tingye was the confidant general of Emperor Yong'an. Emperor Yong'an naturally knew very well about the Gu family. Emperor Yong'an naturally would not know what kind of virtue Gu Tingwei was.

Wei Yun said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have said that the reason why I recommended Gu Tingwei to the southwest was to use the reputation of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion and the reputation of the commander Gu to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army and shock Dali. We can work together to send envoys to Dali to meet the king of Dali and express your majesty's intentions to him.

At this moment, the Dali king had no choice. The minister believed that as long as the Dali king was not a fool, he would not sit idly by the foundation founded by the Duan ancestors, and just gave it to the Gao clan!"
