Chapter 253 Brother Wu, You Are So Confused

Gu Ciyue didn't say anything, feeling conflicted.

Emperor Zhaoning saw his dilemma and understood the consequences of his previous stupidity and cruelty.

Basically everyone who came to see him would hesitate because of his stupidity and cruelty, fearing that they would say something wrong and end up in an irreparable situation, and would not be able to continue to realize their ambitions.

Emperor Zhaoning smiled and said, "According to the old rules, everyone who is received by me has a chance to speak freely."

"I will not pursue the blame for saying the wrong thing."

After Emperor Zhaoning was no longer stupid and cruel, he changed and no longer wanted to see flowers and splendor.

He wanted someone to tell him the truth, so he made this rule.

Perhaps only in this way can we hear some real voices.

He did hear some truths through this means, some good, some bad, often frustrating, but they were all the truth.

After hearing this, Gu Ciyue finally stopped being reserved and started speaking freely.

Gu Ciyue talked about everything from the humanities, geography, people's livelihood, taxation... of Western Chu to the possibility that Western Chu might be destroyed in the future due to the aristocratic families. He also mentioned targeted reform measures.

If it were the former Emperor Zhaoning, when he heard Gu Ciyue say that the aristocratic families would drag down Western Chu and make it possible for Western Chu to perish, he would definitely drive Gu Ciyue away, thinking that Gu Ciyue was exaggerating.

But now it’s different. He even admires Gu Ciyue’s foresight.

Because even for him, if it weren't for Jiujiu's voice, he might not know that Western Chu was in danger of national destruction, and he would not associate the disaster of national destruction with the corruption of the aristocratic families.

But Gu Ciyue only thought of these based on what he saw and heard along the way.

It can be seen that this person is extraordinary.

In addition, since Jiujiu recommended this person, there must be no problem with this person and he will definitely be able to bring benefits to Xi Chu.

Otherwise, Jiujiu would not have given her jade pendant to Gu Ciyue.

Emperor Zhaoning did not doubt this man and he was prepared to make use of him.

He immediately appointed Gu Ciyue as a fifth-rank secretary, responsible for following him every day and recording some things.

In fact, he gave Gu Ciyue this position so that it would be convenient for him to discuss state affairs with Gu Ciyue on a daily basis.

When Gu Ciyue has made real achievements in the future, he will be given a higher title.

Gu Ciyue was excited.

He didn't expect that the trip would be so smooth.

You have to understand that he had been in Mobei for many years, but he had only met the Emperor of Mobei a few times, let alone giving advice to the Emperor of Mobei and then being given an official position.

Very good.

Fate instructed him to stay here and realize his ambitions.

Gu Ciyue secretly made up his mind that he would try his best to push Xi Chu to a new height and live up to the trust of Emperor Zhaoning.

Mobei.

Wu family.

When Wusun Jin's friend Helian Jue heard that Gu Ciyue had left and went to Western Chu and was going to work for Western Chu, he hurriedly found Wusun Jin.

He angrily questioned Wusun Jin, "Gu Ciyue is a man of great talent, it would be fine if you didn't use him, but you actually got rid of him?"

He murmured in confusion: "I don't know what kind of expert in Xi Chu gave advice that made Emperor Zhaoning keep Gu Ciyue and give her an official title?"

"He wanted to leave on his own initiative." Wusun Jin argued while drinking tea.

"Brother Wu, you are so confused!" Helian Jue couldn't keep calm. He slammed the table in anger and said, "How can you let him go? If such a person is reused by other countries, he will become a threat to Mobei."

"Brother Helian, you're too kind." Wusun Jin shook his head fearlessly. He didn't take Gu Ciyue seriously at all.

"What are you talking about?" Helian Jue patted his thigh and asked anxiously: "Do you know Gu Ciyue's background?"

"He is just a guest official, what kind of background can he have?"

"No." Helian Jue said solemnly: "Gu Ciyue is the fifteenth generation direct descendant of the hidden Gu family. His original name is Gu Yue. I don't need to say more about what the Gu family is, right?"

Everyone in the world wants to recruit Gu’s family.

Because the members of the secluded family Gu are all well-educated and have the talent to govern the world.

They are not born easily, but once they are born, they will definitely become famous figures.

For example, people born in the Gu family in recent generations have assisted emperors of various countries to ascend the throne, ended troubled times, helped create a prosperous era, and made great contributions.

After listening to Helian Jue's words, Wusun Jin obviously also thought of the strength of the Gu family.

He panicked instantly, and even blamed Helian Jue, "You old fool, why didn't you tell me earlier that he was a member of the Gu family? If you had told me earlier that he was a member of the Gu family, would I not have used him?"

"Gu Yue, no, Gu Ciyue is a low-key person. He doesn't want to be reused because of his family background."

"He just wants to be valued based on his own abilities."

"As his brother, I can't ignore his wishes and tell you his true identity."

"But I sent this person to you and told you to make use of him. But you became more and more confused as you got older, and you are also blind. You have failed me."

"How dare you turn around and blame me?"

Helian Jue rolled his eyes fiercely.

Wusun Jin exhaled a breath of foul air, angrily kicked over the table in front of him, and said: "It's useless to say this now, let's think about how to save the situation."

"How about sending someone to get him back?"

"I'll go there myself." Helian Jue said, "Otherwise, if he continues to stay in Western Chu, he will definitely help Western Chu rise, and then Mobei will be in danger."

"Okay, go quickly and agree to everything he wants." Wusun Jin was willing to make a big move now.

"good."

Jiujiu was at Qiushuiju at the moment, talking to her beasts. Jiujiu said earnestly, "Can you please listen to me and stop yelling and fighting in the middle of the night?"

"Everyone is still sleeping."

"After a day's work, I'm tired."

Meng Meng and the big brown bear, who were being talked to, tilted their heads back and didn't look at Jiujiu. It seemed that they were not willing to listen to any advice. They were also very arrogant and couldn't stand being lectured.

In fact, their faces were full of grievance and their eyes were filled with tears.

They were still thinking: "Huh, if not, could you come and see us, Master?"

"You have to study, learn medicine, learn martial arts, and grow medicine for that bastard called Huahua all day long. You are so busy that you have no time to pay attention to us."

We are angry.

Jiujiu was also angry.

"I'm talking to you guys. Can you please behave properly?"

"They all look up at the sky and don't look people in the eye. What does that mean?"

Jiujiu put one hand on her waist and pointed at Mengmeng and the big brown bear with the other hand, her voice full of anger.

Nanny Gui, Jin Kui and several other eunuchs standing by were extremely worried.

"Princess, please explain it to them nicely!"

"Don't scold them, be mean to them."

"Otherwise, they will definitely not listen to advice and will definitely continue to quarrel and bark in the middle of the night, not letting people sleep."

They had been counting on the little princess to solve this problem that was bothering everyone.

But can the little princess really help them solve the problem by doing this?

well--
