Yusui Chang'an

After an hour of debate, Mobei finally paid five times the price of the property that Deputy Ambassador Mo negotiated yesterday before his death as compensation.

Moreover, when the incident happened to Tianchu, Mobei's move was detrimental to Tianchu's face and he had to pay compensation for 3,000 war horses.

The envoys from Pingnan were all killed in the Tianchu Kingdom. Tianchu compensated them with a certain amount of money as an apology for their poor protection.

Once the money negotiation is over, it will be the turn of the relevant people to hold them accountable.

In order to punish Mobei, the emperor imprisoned all the guards of the hotel, and the relevant officials were also severely punished.

The instigator, Mo Zhenhui, was punished with a hundred sticks in accordance with Tianchu law and apologized to King Rui in person.

For the sake of Mobei's face, Xiao Chen naturally couldn't let the prince of Mobei be punished in Tianchu Kingdom, so he proposed to use 500 war horses to avoid punishment.

The emperor declined politely and righteously, but his refusal was not complete.

Xiao Chen angrily cursed in his heart:
What a shameless old man, taking advantage of the death of the Pingnan envoy to rob Mobei's wealth!
No matter how reluctant he was, he had to add 500 horses to save Mo Zhenhui from being beaten with a stick.

Although Mo Zhenhui was spared the punishment of the stick, he still felt that he had been humiliated and humiliated. His cheeks were bloodshot with anger, and he squeezed out words of apology to King Rui through Xiao Chen's "persuasion".

Lu Sang shot a sinister look at the emperor and glanced at the circle of imperial guards in the palace. Knowing that he could not get his hands on him, he resisted the urge to take action.

In order not to be humiliated again, after hearing Mo Zhenhui's apology, Lu Sang offered to take Gewei back to Mobei.

The emperor was not too embarrassed and offered 500 horses to redeem the man.

After leaving the palace, Mo Zhenhui couldn't bear it anymore. He turned to look at the palace door and greeted the emperor in a very dirty Mobei dialect.

Before the envoy returned to the hotel, the dirty words reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor, who had been busy for a long time, was in a state of exhaustion with his eyes closed to rest. Hearing this, his eyelids slightly raised with a cold look in his eyes, and he ordered Zheng Cheng to urge Mobei to apologize and send it to Tianchu as soon as possible.

On the other side, when he found out where Gu Ruizhou was, Yuan Dao hurried over, found a quiet place near Gu Ruizhou and stopped the carriage, and sent his confidants to invite Gu Ruizhou over. Gu Ruizhou was surprised when he heard the invitation from the Minister of Rites, but he still followed the visitor into the car.

The two of them greeted each other politely, and after a few polite words, Gu Ruizhou went straight to the point and asked:
"I wonder why Yuan Shangshu wants to find his subordinates?"

Yuan Dao stared at Gu Ruizhou with a complicated expression:
"I have always heard that the Gu family has been loyal to the country and the people from generation to generation, and I admire him very much. I didn't expect the general to be so kind. He shows kindness to people who are not relatives or friends without expecting repayment."

After hearing this, Gu Ruizhou already understood why Yuan Dao came to see him.

Lin Jinyan suddenly came to mind. The last time Lin Jinyan took her to the secret passage under the school, she mentioned this matter.

Yan'er is really good at predicting things, and she really got it right.

Yuan Dao, who was eager to seek confirmation, saw that after he finished speaking, Gu Ruizhou just looked down and said nothing, and shouted anxiously:
"General Anbei?"

Gu Ruizhou came back to his senses after hearing the sound, thinking about Lin Jinyan asking him to befriend Yuan Dao, and said with a smile:

"Many years have passed since the incident, and I have almost forgotten about it. I wonder where your Excellency found out about it?"

Yuan Dao was stunned, and his troubled breathing stopped for a moment. He blinked his eyes to clear his thoughts, and continued to Gu Ruizhou until the end.

Because he was in the carriage, Yuan Dao could only sit and salute. After being confused for a long time, his body became weak and fell forward. Gu Ruizhou held him firmly:

"Sir, please get up quickly. It doesn't have to be like this."

Yuan Dao tightly grasped Gu Ruizhou's arm to support him:

"It was actually the general who helped me back then! Yuan Dao is ashamed. He has been favored for many years and now he knows that his benefactor is a general."
