The East Hall is the "Yangde Hall" in the suite where the emperor rests. The plants in the flower pots by the wall have been replaced with peony, and purple flowers are blooming. The hall is ventilated on both sides, and the cool breeze brings a faint fragrance of flowers.

Guo Shao got up and took off a barrier knife from the wall. With a light press, he heard the "click" sound of the mechanism. His right hand grabbed the hilt and gently pulled it out. The thin and sharp blade made Guo Shao's heart slightly tighten.

A fishy smell like pure milk hits the face, which is butter applied to the knife. Because this knife is basically a decoration, oil is used to prevent rust.

Weapons are indeed born with a dangerous aura. Guo Shao holds the hilt of the knife, so the blade cannot hurt himself... However, this does not prevent the dangerous blade from making people feel chilled.

This feeling is very subtle, with a bit of fear and a certain degree of closeness.

People have soft skin, and their teeth and nails are not sharp; weapons can greatly improve men's combat effectiveness. Although they are dangerous, they rely on them to get close to them.

It’s like a person can’t run too much, but he can reach a speed like a storm with a good horse. Riding a horse is also dangerous. If you accidentally fall off the speed of the speed, your life will be worrying.

In a man's desire, it is easy to include swords and good horses. Because fear is away from danger, it is away from strength; the extension of power can bring a deep sense of speed.

At this moment, the eunuch Cao Tai entered and bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Zuo Shaoqing has arrived."

Guo Shao raised his head and said, "Please give him an audience."

"Here." Cao Tai bowed, then stepped back and went out.

Guo Shao handed the barrier knife to the scabbard and handed it to the palace maid standing next to him. He raised his chin gently to the side and signaled her to hang it back on the wall.

The palace maid took her hands and her arms were shaking like a sieve. Guo Shao looked at her and couldn't help but speak, "It won't jump up and hurt you, what are you afraid of? As long as people really learn to use weapons and respect them, there will be no danger if they don't abuse them."

After saying that, Guo Shao realized that he had said nothing. The palace maid didn't understand at all, and hurriedly said, "I know the crime, but I know the crime..."

Guo Shao ignored her anymore.

Before Zuo You came in, he waited briefly. In this short period of time, Guo Shao had no time to review the cleaning ideas in detail; the joints themselves were not clear, and many things were guessed.

However, in this chaotic matter, Guo Shao had a very clear idea in his mind, which was also the core idea. That is: Now is not the time to balance internally and weaken his minions.

Otherwise, if you are unable to deal with external troubles, the humiliation and helplessness caused in the future will still not be pleasant... If the defense line of the northern country is not perfect and the foreign enemies are allowed to become stronger, they will be forced to seek peace at any time in the future, and the situation can be imagined.

Guo Shao sat in this position and had to look away.

At this time, Zuo You followed Cao Tai in, walked to the table where Guo Shao was sitting, knelt down and bowed and said, "I am hereby decree to see you, and my emperor will live forever!"

"Zuo Shaoqing is flat." Guo Shao said.

Zuo You said: "Thank you for your kindness."

Guo Shao raised his arm and waved to the side. He was not waving his sleeves to Cao Tai or anyone else, but just facing the empty wall over there. Cao Tai did not dare to stare at the emperor, but at this time he quickly reacted, waved to the palace maids on both sides, and bowed his knees to exit outside.

Guo Shao then said, "I'm going to meet Zuo Shaoqing today because I want to ask you something."

Zuo You hurriedly said, "Your Majesty asks me, I dare not deceive the emperor, I will definitely know everything!"

Guo Shao nodded, with a gentle expression but a sharp and vivid look. He said straight away: "I had a memorial yesterday, written by Shi Yanchao, and you also saw it. He said that Zuo Shaoqing went to Luo Yanhuan's house the night before and met Li Chuyun secretly in the mansion."

Zuo You already knew about this, but it was still very harsh when he said it in person. His face was pale and he said, "I can't talk about your secret words. Luo Yanhuan's birthday the day before yesterday."

"I'm not asking this." Guo Shao said, "What I want to ask is that Fan Zhi wrote a letter to oppose Empress Duanci's rule. Did you tell me about it at Luo Yanhuan's house the day before yesterday?"

Guo Shao looked down at his expression without turning his eyes.

This question is indeed very subtle. Its seemingly insignificant details, but it seems to be the key to Zuo You's position...

When Zuo You went to Luo Yanhuan's house, there were very few people who knew about Fan Zhi's memorials, and the people from the Palace Front Office (Li Chuyun) could not know so quickly; as long as Zuo You did not leak the secret in advance, it could prove his loyalty... Because he had a personal relationship with Luo Yanhuan and others, and without saying such a crucial thing, it proved that he was more upholding the emperor and had a level of closeness.

And what's even more amazing is that Zuo You said nothing but said it, it was impossible to verify it anymore; because the next day Guo Shao made Fan Zhi's memorial to the ministers. Even if it was said, Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan could not betray Zuo You.

Guo Shao observed Zuo You very focusedly.

Zuo You immediately clasped his fists and said, "I haven't said a word!"

He looked almost hesitant without hesitation, and his expression was a little excited... For a moment, Guo Shao believed his words.

Zuo You said excitedly: "I have no false words. Please summon Li Dianjian immediately. Luo Du is confronted by confronting him! That day, Luo Du Du is the birthday, we had a relationship, and said some gossip, but didn't say a word about official business! I have a good relationship with Luo and Li, and I have thought about mentioning the memorial of Xianggong Fan, but I also thought that since Your Majesty has not expressed his meaning, it is inappropriate to say it casually..."

Guo Shao showed a smile on his lips. He found that Zuo You was a little sarcastic at this time... For example, the sentence "I have a good relationship with Luo Yanhuan and want to mention Fan Zhi's memorial" exposed his heart: Empress Duanci is in power or not, why should I rush to tell Li Chuyun?

Anyway, such words will not be said in front of the emperor, and they have nothing to do with trust or not.

"So that's it." Guo Shao nodded. "Then it's all right."

"It's okay?" Zuo You stood there, as if he was still thinking about the relationship.

Guo Shao looked at a few tables next to Shaoyao, with a pair of Go on it... This was originally a place where Guo Shao was tired of office resting, and there were many leisure items.

He stood up and said, "Zuo Shaoqing, accompany me to play a game of chess."

Zuo You hurriedly said, "Here."

Guo Shao sat down on the soft couch next to several cases, pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down and play chess with me."

"Thank you for your seat." Zuo You's face was still pale, and he reached out to take his sleeve and wiped his forehead gently. I don't know if he understood the problem just now, but Guo Shao believed that Zuo You would understand sooner or later... People may not be able to react immediately, but as long as they have time to think about it repeatedly, they can generally understand a lot.

Guo Shao smiled and said, "I'm not very good. Mr. Zuo should not give in, but you can teach me."

The two of them set up the chessboard. Guo Shao did play very badly. Although he understood the basic rules, he was almost unavailable... The rules of Go were simple, but the gameplay was relatively complicated.

Zuo You obviously didn't think playing chess with a beginner at all, because the beginner was the emperor. He taught some ways to play chess in detail.

Guo Shao was also very devoted, studied with great interest, and understood it very quickly.

He understood another way and said happily: "It turns out that this is the consideration, so it turns out that it is like this!"

After saying that, he glanced at Zuo You and said calmly: "This method seems complicated, but it is actually simple. Some things, as long as they are said, are just that, and nothing matters."

Zuo You thought something and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is saying..."

Guo Shao didn't emphasize that he believed in Zuo You's answer just now. But his attitude had already shown everything. After asking that question, he sat with Zuo You and played chess and was very happy... So what else should I say?

Guo Shao said enthusiastically: "There is not a lot of things to pass the time at this time, but every type has its own time. For example, when the two friends are together and there are not many people, it is very suitable to play Go."

Zuo You also smiled and said, "That's right."

Guo Shao slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, Li Chuyun is a martial artist like me. Maybe he is not good at playing chess, so why not find him too. I just happened to try the tricks I just learned, haha!"

After hearing this, Zuo You suddenly remembered something, so he took out a memorial from his sleeve: "There was a memorial from Li Chuyun, and he just wanted to bring it in to present to His Majesty for his reading. But he had been distracted before and forgot."
