Guo Wei replied: "Brother Wang has been away from court recently and has not come to the palace to talk to me. What are you busy with?"

"It's not just about the Khitans entering Hebei to cut grass in the valley. There are still some trivial follow-up matters to be dealt with."

When winter came, the Khitan invaded Hebei again to attack Caogu. They fought several small battles with the Chengde army in Zhenzhou, with both sides winning or losing.

Guo Wei asked someone to send a message to the Khitans: "Liu Chong is not Shi Jingtang, and I am not Li Congke." After that, the Khitans retreated.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wang. I got a good thing recently, and I would like to invite Brother Wang to appreciate it together."

Guo Wei's life was actually very frugal. When he first came to the throne, he smashed all the gold and jade vessels that Liu Chengyou had bought when he was in power. He also decreed that all feudal towns should no longer pay tribute to rare treasures. His only hobby was playing with pandas.

It must be strange for Guo Wei to take notice of it, and Guo Wangjun immediately became interested, "What kind of treasure has your Majesty got? Come and show it to me!"

"Haha... the thing is too big to fit here, Brother Wang and I are here!" Just as Guo Wei was about to move, Abao opened his mouth and bit his hem. Guo Wei touched Abao's head, "Okay, silly pig. stand up."

At that moment, Guo Wei took Wang Jun out of the harem. The two of them walked and chatted, walked through the long corridor to the harem, and entered the imperial garden.

The north wind is bleak, but the sun in the sky is still brilliant. The turquoise water of Taiye Pond is rippling in the wind, and a delicate new loft stands abruptly on the lake amid the sparkling waves.

Guo Wei happily pulled Wang Jun along the long trestle towards the attic, "Brother Wang, what do you think of my attic?"

Wang Jun didn't answer, frowned and asked: "When did your Majesty do it?"

"The ground was broken in the spring of this year. It doesn't look like a lot of trouble. Including the wooden piles for this trestle alone, more than a hundred wooden piles were driven. It was just completed a few days ago."

When the two arrived in front of the building, they saw the words "Hongyun Pavilion" written on the plaque. Judging from the handwriting, it should have been inscribed by Guo Wei himself.

Guo Wei entered the building and opened a window and waved his hand, "This Taiye Pond will be completely frozen in the severe winter. The snow-capped scenery is very beautiful, but it hurts your eyes if you look at it for a long time. The scenery is not bad in summer, then. There will be a large lotus on the side, and there will be herons hunting on the shore later in the evening. Then Brother Wang can toast and drink with me here..."

Guo Wei had a longing look on his face, as if he was imagining the scene where he and his old friends were drinking and chatting here, but Wang Jun had a look of displeasure on his face and suddenly said something very shocking, "Your Majesty should not build this attic."

Guo Wei turned around and said with a puzzled expression: "Why can't I cultivate?"

"Your Majesty has reduced or exempted a lot of rents and taxes in the past two years, and even distributed a large amount of land to the people. The annual income of the imperial court is no longer what it used to be. As the emperor, it is really extravagant for your Majesty to renovate the palace for a whim. I hope that your Majesty will reflect on himself and improve the government." .”

Wang Jun spoke with great justice, but Guo Wei's face was full of ridicule, "Why can Brother Wang use the money from the treasury to build a luxurious official office in the Privy Council? Can't I use the money from the inner treasury to build a small building?"

It is said that when you are an official, you should not build a government office, but Wang Xianggong did the opposite. He used money from the treasury to build a large government office in the Privy Council for his own office. When it was completed, he specially invited Guo Wei to see it. Guo Wei was just Full of praise.

Now Guo Wei's construction of this small building is far worse than that of Wang Jun's official office. He still used his own private money to build it, but Wang Jun comes to accuse him of being arrogant and extravagant. It is really unreasonable.

When Guo Wei finished speaking, Wang Jun was dumbfounded. Ever since Guo Wei became the emperor, he acted like a coward in front of him. Guo Wei did not agree to anything he asked. Even if he pointed at his nose and cursed Guo Wei, he still had a smile on his face.

Together, I really didn’t expect that Guo Wei would confront him today.

Wang Jun's old face turned red instantly. After all, Guo Wei was right, and the situation was awkward for a while. Guo Wei stared at him with burning eyes as if waiting for his reply, which made him feel like a thorn in his back. He didn't know how to respond. Suddenly

He turned around and walked away in a hurry. When he passed the door, a black and fluffy leg stuck out from nowhere, tripping him and staggering him. He looked very embarrassed.

Looking at Wang Jun's panicked back on the trestle, Guo Wei laughed softly and said: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, you never let me down. Old Mutou, please spread the word about the conversation I had with Wang Jun today."

"Hehe... Your Majesty wants to let the officials know that the wind is about to turn?"

"There's so much nonsense, hurry up and get things done!"

As soon as Old Mutou arrived at the door, a guard came over and whispered a few words to him. Old Mutou turned back and said to Guo Wei: "Your Majesty's expectation is correct. Xu Xian really did not return to the camp. He went to the crossbow

At the ambassador’s home, he cut off one of his fingers.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... cruel enough!" Guo Wei said with a smile: "This is the kind of person who is in the military."

Old Mutou cupped his hands and advised: "You are young after all, and you will inevitably be impulsive when your temper is strong. Your Majesty, please let him go."

"There is no need for you to plead for him. I won't deal with him. He will be of great use if I keep him, hehe..."

The snow was falling heavily, starting at Xu hour, and by Hai hour it was already up to his ankles. Xu Xian still had no intention of stopping when he went out.

The whole world was quiet, with only the sound of feet creaking on the ground, and the bed in Wu Liang's home also made a similar sound. It was his efforts to "not leak" Xu Xian's ten dollars.

It's been almost a month, and this guy is still so powerful that Xu Xian admires him endlessly.

The shops on the street had long been closed, and there were only various flags and banners fluttering in the wind and snow. There were no patrolling soldiers, and only sporadic firelight could be seen on the towering city walls. This was convenient for Xu Xian, who did not have to hide.

After walking all the way through the streets and alleys to the outside of King Huaiyang's courtyard wall, Xu Xian raised his head and looked at the snow-covered courtyard wall, then leaned down and drilled the dog hole.

After observing at the edge of the garden, and seeing no one there, he quietly walked towards the small yard where Fu Liying was. The lights in the house were still on. Xu Xian quickly walked over to the window, licked his tongue and pressed his fingers against the window paper.

On the other side, he poked a small hole without making any sound. Just as he put his eye over it, he found that there was also an eye on the opposite side. Xu Xian quickly moved aside.

The room recalled the whispered question, "Is that you?"

Hearing Fu Liying's voice, Xu Xian hurriedly replied: "It's me."

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you!"

The door latch made a slight noise, and then opened a crack. Xu Xian stepped in and turned around to close the door.

Fu Liying was right in front of him, with her hair loose and wearing a lake blue jacket with a circle of snow-white fluff around the neckline, which made her even more delicate.
