Chapter 1281: Continuing the Past and Opening the Future (One Hundred and Seventy-One) Inexplicable Smuggling

Cao Tianci walked on the cobblestone path of the palace with steady steps. Behind him, followed an officer who looked slightly nervous. Judging from his clothes, he turned out to be just a major, and should be affiliated with the National Security Bureau. , He Weiyuan was a little surprised. The fact that an officer of this level could follow Cao Tianci into the palace only meant that the affairs he was responsible for were extremely confidential and special, otherwise the king would not have cared enough to summon him in person.

"Tianci, are you here? Your Majesty is waiting for you in Tingxiaoyao Pavilion!" He Weiyuan looked at Cao Tianci with a smile.

"Thank you, brother." Cao Tianci nodded. "Brother He, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"The guard camp has recently selected a group of people from the Guards. I went to take a look. When newbies enter the camp, the trouble is a lot of pigs, pig islands, novels, www and huzud. They have to be taken away. Getting on the right track is really heartbreaking." He Weiyuan made an exaggerated gesture.

"How can it be so difficult? These people are all selected from the Guards. Their basic qualities are almost the same. They just learn some rules. Wei Yuan, I heard that you have been active for a while and want to be transferred to the field army. Are you going?" Cao Tianci asked.

He Weiyuan suddenly lost his face, "I mentioned it to the king several times, and the king had promised it before, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate to replace me, so he kept putting it off."

"It's not that we can't find a suitable person to replace you, but it's just that it's hard to place you at once!" Cao Tianci walked to He Weiyuan, "Now the armies below have just been reorganized, and each army has a leader. You go down How to arrange you? You can't be allowed to be a deputy. When the Commander-in-Chief of Shangguan left your position, he was directly the commander of the Young Guards. If you leave, you can't be lower than this position. So, please be patient. When the position becomes vacant, it will naturally be your time to leave the palace."

"That's what I say, I'm so worried. I didn't catch up with the first few big battles. If I can't catch up with the battle to destroy Qin, I will really lose a lot of money." He Weiyuan scratched his head and said with some distress. . To advance in the army, the most important thing is military merit. Although He Weiyuan started from a high level, he could at least become the commander of an army after leaving the palace, but without military merit, it would be very difficult to take a few steps forward.

"Destroy Qin?" Cao Tianci hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Don't worry. You won't miss it."

Seeing Cao Tianci's vague words, He Weiyuan would not be stupid enough to ask for details. The man in front of him can be regarded as the man with the most secrets. It's best not to ask about things he doesn't want to talk about.

"I'm leaving. You should go as well. Don't keep the king waiting for too long." He Weiyuan saluted, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Destroy Qin!" Cao Tianci murmured lowly. There was a strange look on his face. “This is General He Weiyuan, the king’s guard commander.

"

"Yes, I have heard of it. But I have never seen it. Commander He also has a brother who serves in the Guards. He seems to be the division commander now!"

"You know a lot?" Cao Tianci smiled.

"These are all powerful and famous figures, and you can find out about them everywhere. He Dayou, He Weigao, He Weiyuan. And General Gu Li, all of the He family are heroes."

ha! Cao Tianci laughed and strode forward, and the man behind him quickly followed.

Xiaoyao Pavilion is located on the edge of the only large pond full of lotus in the palace. It is surrounded by big trees with thick canopies like clouds. From the outside, it is difficult to tell that there is a cave inside. The winding paths weave left and right in the forest, extending to the pond. Compared with the scorching heat in other places in the palace, here It's much cooler.

Gao Yuan only wore an ordinary shoulderless gown and was sitting on the edge of Xiaoyao Pavilion reading a book. Although it was the hottest time at noon, there was a gentle breeze, light lotus leaves and swaying lotus flowers, and the air was full of warmth. It's full of refreshing flavor.

What Gao Yuan saw was Jiang Jiaquan's latest exposition. In the past year, the first assistant Jiang Jiaquan has handed over more complicated state affairs work to Yan Shengxu, while he concentrated on writing books to organize his life's hard work. Written, it will be left to future generations. Every time a book is completed, it will be sent to Gao Yuan, asking Gao Yuan to correct it.

Compared with when he first met Gao Yuan, Jiang Jiaquan's teachings have undergone earth-shaking changes. Of course, this is also because of the accumulation of practice bit by bit in the process of assisting Gao Yuan and the influence of Gao Yuan. Jiang Jiaquan's academic The argument is slowly changing, and Jiang Jiaquan himself knows it very well, so every time he completes a book, he will send it to Gao Yuan to have a look. This is not a simple tribute to the king, but Jiang Jiaquan knows very well that his book Most of the central arguments were first proposed by Gao Yuan. He just improved them and found theoretical basis.

The outside world believes that Gao Yuan relies entirely on Jiang Jiaquan for his academic work, but Jiang Jiaquan himself knows that without Gao Yuan, there would be no such masterpiece that he is working hard to complete.

God comes from heaven! This is Jiang Jiaquan's evaluation of the Han king.

"Your Majesty, I brought him here." Cao Tianci bowed as he walked into Xiaoyao Pavilion.

"Oh?" Gao Yuan raised his head, put the book aside and looked up at the man behind Cao Tianci.

The man was very nervous. He took a step forward and said loudly: "Major Guo Yun of the National Security Bureau has met the King." The voice was a little loud and changed the tone, and the muscles on his face were a little distorted due to tension. As a major officer, he wanted to see the king. The supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty is indeed uncommon.

"Well, you are Guo Yun?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "I often hear Tianci mention you and say that you have done a great job. Come, sit down!"

He pointed to a brocade stool beside him.

"There is no place for me to sit in front of the king. I can just stand." Guo Yun stuttered a little. The King of Han in front of him was very different from the King of Han in his imagination. This casually dressed man with a kind demeanor was different from the one he usually imagined. Majestic and majestic are completely different.

"Your Majesty, let him speak standing up, so that he can be more natural. Let him sit down, just to make him suffer!" Cao Tianci said with a smile.

"Really? Am I so scary?" Gao Yuan laughed and scolded: "You little brat, just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Tianci smiled and pulled up the brocade stool and sat down, looking at Guo Yun, "Guo Yun, tell the King in detail about your contact with the other party and the things you smuggled there in the past six months. ?”

"Yes." Guo Yun coughed lightly and sorted out his thoughts, "Your Majesty, I have always been active as a businessman. For this operation, the bureau arranged for me to appear in front of Gou Yi several times. , Oh, it was the time when Gou Yi was captured, so in Gou Yi's image, I am a businessman with relatively great magical powers, and he also deals in some controlled products. "

"When did he find you?"

"Three months ago. Gou Yi suddenly sent someone to contact me and wanted to smuggle steel and other goods from us. I immediately rejected him." Guo Yundao.

"Well, you did a good job. If you agreed to him right away, I'm afraid he would be suspicious." Gao Yuan nodded appreciatively.

"Actually, this is the overall arrangement of the bureau. How to meet their people, how to help them after meeting them, and how to gain the trust of the other party step by step. The bureau has made detailed plans." Guo Yun explained: "My subordinates are nothing but It’s just a matter of practice.”

"Tell the important point!" Cao Tianci reminded from the side.

"Yes, Gou Yi sent people to find me several times, and the last time he sneaked over in person. It seemed that they were in a hurry to get the goods, so of course I raised the price so high that it was almost a huge profit. I didn't expect it. , Gou Yi actually agreed." Guo Yundao, "Since two months ago, I started smuggling steel and other military-controlled items to the opposite side, including many arm-shaped crossbows and other items that were eliminated from the army."

"How big is the quantity?"

"It is very difficult to transport things like steel without making a sound from other people, so the amount transported each time is only more than 10,000 kilograms. However, I have carried it very frequently in the past two months, and I have already I decided to stop for a while, otherwise it would have attracted the other party's attention if it went so smoothly. But things like arm-shaped crossbows are much better. In the past two months, I sent a total of 5,000 to the other party, and earned a total of hundreds of thousands. Two silver coins."

"This is a good business!" Gao Yuan laughed, "Are those eliminated arm-length crossbows still worth this price?"

"It's no longer valuable here, but it's still valuable to them. What's more, Lu Chao's current weapons are controlled by Xianyang, so he has to find another way." Cao Tianci said.

"Your Majesty, I, I have a question." Guo Yun suddenly stammered: "Aren't we, by doing this, siding with the enemy? The Qin people are our enemies. If we pass these steel materials, we can make them better." Although the weapons and the arm-length crossbow are old, there is no problem in using them for another year. If this matter is exposed, I will, I will..."

"What do you have to worry about? The king has his own arrangements. Could it be that the king will do harm to the big man? Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. You are an old man and you are still so unruly!" Cao Tianci scolded at the side.

"Yes, my subordinate has lost his temper." Guo Yun lowered his head.

"The implications of this matter are indeed not small, but you don't have to be mentally burdened." Gao Yuan smiled: "In fact, you don't have to be as careful as you are now. It doesn't matter even if the other party discovers your identity, because you can bring them What they want is exactly what they want. We have to hide it from Jinyang’s military. If they find out, they will definitely come to my place to make a fuss, but there are many things that I don’t want them to know yet. "

"Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity?" Guo Yun was surprised.

"Yes, what are you afraid of? What the other party wants is these things, no matter who you are? What's more, maybe the other party already knows where you are coming from! Even if you didn't know before, you can probably guess it now, but What does this have to do with it? It’s just a tacit understanding." Gao Yuan said with a smile. (To be continued...)
