The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

The sky gradually brightened. Gu Jingzhi looked at the light coming in from the window and couldn't help yawning.

Qu Feiyan pushed the door open just in time and saw that the files had been sorted out and placed aside. She silently put the files away.

Gu Jingzhi said lazily, "Tell the Internal Guard to dispatch more personnel to focus on monitoring Guan Canghai. Also, send more personnel around the inn of Prince Li Yue. We can't let any of them get lost!"

Qu Feiyan's movements froze, and she looked at Gu Jingzhi with her cold eyes: "Are you worried that Beili will assassinate the prince of Liyue Kingdom?"

"Maybe Baili Gongshu won't, but it's hard to predict for others!"

Gu Jingzhi rubbed his cheek and said, "Don't think you can be careless just because this is the capital of our dynasty. This is a battle for the fate of our nation. The enemy has countless tricks up their sleeves, and the slightest omission could lead to a big mistake!"

He was not only worried about the methods of the two countries, but also the possibility within Daxia.

After all, there are different political views within Daxia. Secondly, the prince is in charge of the work of this delegation.

Even if the crown prince is only the official envoy, as long as he is, those princes can use any means to attack the crown prince.

And there is no doubt that this deputy envoy is the main person to take the blame.

Qu Feiyan packed up the files as usual, but silently took note of Gu Jingzhi's words in her heart.

If her attitude towards Gu Jingzhi was somewhat casual at the beginning, then after seeing the Xia Di gold medal, the seriousness of the matter was completely different, and she dared not be casual and perfunctory in her attitude towards Gu Jingzhi anymore.

After quietly packing up, before she could even leave, Gu Jingzhi's voice came from behind her: "Notice, I have to meet with the envoys of the two countries this afternoon. Also, close the door when you leave!"

His brain had been working non-stop all night, and even though he was full of energy, he couldn't help feeling a little tired.

After hearing what he said, Qu Feiyan felt a little annoyed, but she didn't say anything. She left the room and closed the door behind her. This scene just happened to make Old Huang, who was about to wake Gu Jingzhi up, stunned!

When Qu Feiyan saw Lao Huang's strange extension, her eyes widened and she walked away.

Old Huang hesitated in front of Gu Jingzhi's door for a while, then suddenly showed a look of "I understand", and then happily went out to buy vegetables!

……

While Gu Jingzhi was investigating the two countries' delegations, Baili Gongshu and Xiao Li were also investigating Gu Jingzhi.

Without him,

Gu Jingzhi, a minor official in Daxia who was not even of the fifth rank, had left too deep an impression on them. Such a person was even appointed as the deputy envoy for the reception of the delegation. How could they feel at ease without investigating him?

Daxia has secret spies in Beili and Liyue, and the two countries also have secret spies in Daxia's capital.

After some trouble, Gu Jingzhi's information was placed on the desks of the envoys of the two countries.

Baili Gongshu took the information collected by his secret agent, such as his life experience, which was unremarkable. After all, not many people knew his identity as a son of the Gu family.

Later, for some unknown reason, Emperor Xia asked the Internal Guard to modify his identity, so that according to this intelligence, it looked like he was just a child from a poor family!

However, when Baili Gongshu read about the number one scholar of Daxia and the official position of secretary, he was surprised.

It has been twenty years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, but this is the first time that someone has held the position of Secretary Lang, a close minister to the emperor.

But even with such an important status, he would not be appointed as a deputy envoy. From his point of view, this...either Emperor Xia intended for this close minister of his to make meritorious deeds, or this secretary played a role that could not be replaced by others.

If it was just the former, it would be fine. After all, judging from the courage he showed towards the two countries' delegations outside the city, he was indeed an extremely rare talent.

But if it's the latter, then be careful!

I'm afraid Daxia has other purposes.

Baili Gongshu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Have you arranged for the gifts I asked you to deliver?"

An official from the Ministry of Rites in the Beili delegation said, "Prime Minister, everything has been arranged!"

"Well……"

Baili Gongshu carefully stroked the paper with Gu Jingzhi's information in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Prepare another generous gift!"

"How should I prepare this gift list? Please give me some instructions, Lord Prime Minister!"

The officials from the Ministry of Rites were a little confused. According to Baili Gongshu, this gift list must have been prepared for Gu Jingzhi.

However, the gift list they prepared this time was mostly for the Prince of Daxia and some important officials. They didn't expect that a sixth-rank official would appear now, and it would be difficult to prepare the gift list.

Baili Gongshu thought for a moment and was about to start drawing up a gift list when he heard someone come in and say, "Prime Minister, Lord Gu Jingzhi, the Deputy Envoy of Daxia, has said he wants to visit you this afternoon!"

"Oh?"

Baili Gongshu's eyes flashed: "Are you going to meet me alone, or will you go with Xiao Li as well?"

"Meeting at the same time!"

at the same time……

Baili Gongshu thought for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the person to leave, and then said to the official from the Ministry of Rites: "Don't worry about the gift list now, we can discuss it after we meet the secretary later!"

……

The same scene happened on Xiao Li's side. When he learned that Gu Jingzhi was coming to visit him, Prince Xiao looked uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

He had never been treated like this by a sixth-rank official.

Thinking carefully about what happened yesterday, he was manipulated almost the entire time. He didn't win the verbal battle, and even in the end... the other party told him directly, if you want to come, come, if you don't want to come, go back.

Considering the purpose of Li Yue Kingdom, he had to swallow his anger.

Look, it hasn’t disappeared yet!

When he heard that Gu Jingzhi was coming to visit, the first thing he thought of was how to get back the ground he had lost.

At this time, his accompanying deputy envoy asked, "Your Highness, the spies at Baili Gongshu's place just reported that Beili has sent gifts to the princes and important officials of Daxia. What do you think about us..."

"deliver!"

Xiao Li waved his hand and sneered, "Daxia has only been established for twenty years, and bribery is already rampant in the officialdom. If a mere sum of money can be exchanged for a thousand miles of territory, then any more is worth it!"

"Where is the deputy envoy from Daxia?"

"he?"

Xiao Li said disdainfully, "A mere sixth rank...never mind, since he's a deputy envoy, just prepare some."

"promise!"

Although the deputy envoy felt that it was not good to look down on Gu Jingzhi, since his eldest prince was the one in charge, he could not refute too much.

After the gift list was arranged, Xiao Li asked, "Have our spies in the capital of Daxia learned which side Daxia is leaning towards?"

To be honest, although the idea of jointly attacking Beili and dividing Beili's land equally sounds tempting.

But Daxia is not stupid. They are not as advantageous as Liyue in the north, and they certainly don't believe that Liyue would be so generous, so...

Daxia's attitude is particularly important, as it concerns their future national destiny, so he cannot help but be cautious.
