After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me
Chapter 90 New Deal
The first year of Yongding, the first day of the first month of the first month.
King Gu Xiu and Grand Tutor Han Mochu got up at dawn and put on the armor they had prepared early in the morning.Abandoning the warm car in the guard of honor, riding two tall horses side by side, lined up in a row, and drove to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for the military parade and rewards.
General Yun Jue, dressed in majestic tiger-headed silver armor, led a team of well-trained recruits to greet him in front of the barracks.
Yun Jue, who had sobered up, completely forgot what happened at the family banquet in the palace yesterday, and when he saw Gu Xiu, he still strictly abided by the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, without any slacking off.
When Han Mo first saw this, he finally understood why the ancestors of the Yun family set the iron law that no drinking was allowed in the army.
No matter how long it has passed, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu's reputation in the army is extremely high.Regardless of whether they are emperors or powerful ministers, in the eyes of those soldiers and warriors, they are generals who lead them through life and death.
Seeing them coming, the officers and soldiers of the army were all full of energy and in high spirits during the parade.
The most important thing in this military parade is the new barracks under Yun Jue's jurisdiction.
After the cavalry drills, the recruits who participated in the military parade appeared.
The soldiers for reference were carefully selected by General Yun Jue from the newly recruited 11 elite soldiers.They were lined up in a square formation like knives and axes, and everyone held a long spear!gun.Standing in the front row are all the surviving clans of the Yun clan.
Standing at the front of the phalanx is King Gu Xiu, holding the tasseled spear used by his biological mother, General Yunhui, in his hand, and he stood still against the cold wind of the new year.
The reason why Gu Xiu made such an arrangement was firstly to restore the Yun clan to their former prestige as quickly as possible, and secondly to comfort Yunyao and Yunlie's spirits in heaven.
Following Yun Jue's order, Gu Xiu's hands were long!Gun Yiheng led the recruits behind him to practice.Everyone's movements are uniform, the momentum is like a rainbow, like overwhelming mountains and shaking mountains and earth.
The Yun family travels with a dragon spear, and the spear walks like a dragon.
Nine-nine 81 style, tricks can take the enemy's life.
The scene of Han Mochu riding on horseback and Gu Xiu performing martial arts with a gun plunged him into an inexplicable illusion.It seems that the whole world has become a vast expanse of whiteness and everything has disappeared.He can only see the quilt in his eyes!The gun gave the soul to the man.
With Gu Xiu present, everything around him seemed gloomy.
He unconsciously stroked the longevity lock hanging outside the armor, and the gold lock was blown cold by the cold wind.
Touching it in the hand, the tip of the heart is hot.
All along, Han Mochu knew Gu Xiu's thoughts for him, but he never thought about his own thoughts for Gu Xiu.
Is it a monarch?no.
Since Gu Xiu came to the throne, he had abandoned the principle of being a minister, allowing Gu Xiu to find such a random reason to keep him in the palace.Same as before, living together, drinking and eating together, and governing in the same way.
Is it a bosom friend?more than.
Gu Xiu did to him what no king in ancient or modern times could do to his subjects.Gu Xiu never shy away from him, and trusts him wholeheartedly.The same is true for Gu Xiu's relatives, they will always miss Gu Xiu while thinking about him.
Is it a close relative?Very dear.
But the closeness between him and Gu Xiu is very special.Some words, he would only say to Gu Xiu alone.There are some things that Gu Xiu will only do with him alone.
He promised him that he would stay with him, and stay with him for a long life.
Mountains of swords and seas of fire, no hesitation.
Maybe, from some time ago, his thoughts on Gu Xiu were the same as Gu Xiu's thoughts on him.
It's just that no one asked, and no one exposed it.
*****
After the first day of the new year, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu got busy again.
Taking advantage of these days when the ministers are taking a rest, the two of them want to formulate the New Deal that was roughed out earlier as a serious item.When the dynasty opened on the [-]th of the first month, it was decreed to implement it.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, at dusk and evening.
The Nuan Pavilion of Xuanzheng Hall was extremely quiet.
When Han Mo first turned on the lamp to write at night, Gu Xiu was sitting beside him, lapping and lapping the ink block as hard as black gold.
These two have been like this for many years.
One never sleeps, and the other never rests.
These few days, Shang Gong Wu's family is not here.The inner room where Gu Xiu and Han Mochu lived immediately became chaotic. After all, no one except Wu Shanggong dared to clean up the table for these two.
Although the Wu family is a widow and widow who lost her husband and son, there are still a few relatives and friends in the village.Today is the end of the year, and I also want to go for a walk.I don't have to come back until early in the morning of the tenth day.
A few days ago, Mrs. Wu came to ask for an order with Gu Xiu, and even surprised Gu Xiu.After asking the reason, Gu Xiu only told her that from now on it will be the same as when she was in the palace, and there is no need to ask for such a solemn request, if she wants to go back, just go back.
As the night grew deeper, the little eunuch Yuan Bao brought sweet soup to the two of them at the exact time Aunt Wu had ordered before she left.
The soup is the pear tremella soup prepared by the imperial dining room. It looks exquisite but the taste is two points worse than Wu's Shanggong stew.
"Master, these new policies really don't need to be discussed with Zhong Shuling and others before deciding?" Gu Xiu glanced at the sweet soup, obviously not very interested.Instead, he slowly sorted out the manuscript that Han Mochu had written.
"No matter how comprehensive the New Deal is, it will affect the interests of some people. It is impossible for everyone to accept it with joy." Han Mochu lowered his head and continued writing, without moving the sweet soup in his hand: "These New Deals are beneficial to the country and the people, Your Majesty As long as you understand this point, you don’t need to discuss with too many people. After discussing, you may even change your original intention.”
"I just think, does this count as brutal? If it's been like this for a long time, wouldn't anyone dare to speak up?"
"Your Majesty is the king, the lord of the world. It is necessary to adopt a dictatorial posture from the very beginning." Han Mochu finally finished writing, and slowly moved his stiff neck: "When you first ascended the throne, you were all over the world. Except for a few officials in important positions who can still fulfill their duties, they are all trying to find out about His Majesty. Therefore, Your Majesty must let these people understand that what you want is not bureaucrats, but for the country and the people Loyal minister and good general."
"This, can it be done?" Gu Xiu couldn't believe it.
"Of course it will happen." Han Mochu also glanced at the soup bowl in his hand, without moving.His taste is the same as that of Gu Xiu, and now is not the time when he has to eat to save his life on the battlefield, and he just puts aside what he doesn't want to eat: "Who didn't think of serving the country and the people when they became an official? The ambition of Shijiaguoguotianxia? It is nothing more than being tempered by this officialdom, so they have to become smooth and philistine. Your Majesty is giving them a chance to get back their original aspiration to be an official."
"If that's the case, it's fine." Gu Xiu asked Yuan Bao, who was serving him personally, for two soft towels, wiped the dirt off his hands, and was about to pick up the two bowls of sweet soup when he heard an extremely familiar and affectionate call .
"Little master, the old man is back!"
Gu Xiu and Han Mochu raised their heads in response, and put the two bowls of sweet soup back in a very honest manner.Aunt Wu came back from the village, dressed in elegant mink fur and wearing a bright new coat, standing at the door of the warm pavilion to salute the two, followed by seven or eight young eunuchs carrying the local products she brought back from the village.
"Why does Aunt Wu come back at this hour? Doesn't that mean it's early?" The little eunuch Yuan Bao looked at his mother, and hurriedly stepped forward to take off the sable fur for Aunt Wu: "How did you come back before the palace gate was opened at this hour?" Yes? I didn’t see the guards coming to pass it on!”
"Why does an old woman go through the gate of the palace? Isn't the side door of the water tanker on the west side of the imperial city open?" Aunt Wu is a neat person, she took off her coat and came to Gu Xiu: "I can't fit my little master here. Come back a moment earlier, why is it so troublesome?"
Wu's return to his hometown this time is really a sight to behold.Years ago, Gu Xiu rewarded her with a box of gold ingots, not to mention, Princess Qingzhao and Concubine Li thought of her working hard alone in the palace to take care of Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, and rewarded her with some exquisite jewelry, new clothes, and takeaways. This is a smooth mink fur.Before leaving, Gu Xiu ordered a dozen or so young eunuchs and maids to accompany him. The scene stunned the relatives in the village.
Everyone thinks that she has become a noble person in the palace, and everyone gives her a high look.
She stayed in the village for three or four days, said everything she needed to say, and met everyone she needed to see.Immediately, she was thinking of Gu Xiu, her little master in the palace.
He ran back from the countryside in a hurry, and finally entered the city and the palace before the curfew.
"Little master, why is there all this soup left? But it doesn't suit your taste?" Wu's eyes were sharp, and she quickly noticed the cold sweet soup in the hands of Gu Xiu and Han Mochu.
"Aunt Wu, you're right. Your Majesty just doesn't like the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room." Han Mochu smiled and praised without hesitation: "I tasted it, but it didn't taste right, and I don't know if it's the wrong heat or the wrong ingredients. It’s not even a star and a half.”
"It doesn't seem right after I tasted it." Gu Xiu also seriously appraised the bowl of sweet soup that he didn't drink at all: "The taste is very bland, but after drinking it, I feel restless."
In order to avoid a nagging meal, the two had no choice but to give up all the master chefs in the imperial dining room.
After all, Shanggong Wu's family can't be offended, and Princess Qingzhao can't be offended.
That night, after Gu Xiu and Han Mochu turned off the lights and went to bed.
Like a tricky country mother-in-law, Wu scolded all the palace servants and cooks in the imperial dining room who were not serving in front of the imperial court for the past few days.
It was as if she had been away from the palace for three days, and Gu Xiu, the emperor, had become an outcast, the kind who couldn't even drink hot water.
*****
The first year of Yongding, the sixteenth day of the first month.
On the day of the resumption of the new year, the king Gu Xiu promulgated a new policy.
First: Change the official performance evaluation every three years to one year, and the standard of Ping Ding is no longer unified, but changed to time, place, and job evaluation.Those who have not achieved political performance for three years are immediately dismissed.
Second: All the watches and seals played by officials in Beijing and other places can only be used for important affairs of the time. Every year, only from the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month to the New Year's Eve can be folded up to pay respects.Violators will be punished with thirty rods and fined for half a year.If there are important matters, those who conceal and fail to disclose, once found out, will be punished with fifty rods and fined for three years.If it is serious, it will be executed and the whole family will be exiled.
Third: Ban the establishment of admonishment courts and remove the post of admonishment doctor.According to their political achievements, the officials of the imperial court should be merged into Yushitai, which is under the unified control of the Yushi doctor.All censor officials can not only impeach officials, but also write national policies, court discussions and other matters. Once they accept advice, they will be rewarded with the title of national scholar.
Fourth: Ban the executive departments with overlapping functions under the five temples and nine supervisors, and the officials in the departments will be merged into the three divisions of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War according to their political achievements and matters under their jurisdiction.
Fifth: Military service, corvee service, the service age has been reduced from 60 to 50 year by year.The recruitment age for recruits increases from 14 to 16 every year.
Sixth: In addition to the original proposition essay, three current political issues are added to Guochao Enke's selection of official positions, so that all students who participate in the examination can speak freely and innocence.
Seventh: The court salaries of all royal families should be halved.The sons of the Gu family are also integrated with the officials and the people. They can do business, work in agriculture, join the army, and serve as officials.
As soon as these seven new policies came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
None of the civil and military officials seemed to react.
Zilai Xinjun has three fires in his position, but Gu Xiu's fire is too fierce.
Chapter 91
King Ning Gu You has entered the palace.
Not for anything else, just because Concubine Li and Xu Jingrou, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, brought their little son Yuheng back to Suzhou to visit their relatives.There is no one in charge in Prince Ning's mansion, and Gu You is too lazy to see the butlers in the mansion dangling in front of him with ledgers every day.He simply took a few personal servants and the puppy named Snowflake Cheese to live in the residence in front of Ligong Lifu.
Gu Xiu and Han Mochu are in a stalemate with the previous dynasty over the New Deal.Don't care much about his business, let him mess around in the palace.If you want to go to the court meeting, you can go there, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, and you don't have to ask for leave.Every day when I am free, I take the dog for a walk in the palace.
It was day, and the sun was just right.
Bored, Gu You led Xue Huayou through the Yimen Gate to the Nuan Pavilion of Xuanzheng Palace to talk to Gu Xiu, and when he reached the gate, he was stopped by the little eunuch Baoji in front of the imperial court.
"His Royal Highness Ning, Your Majesty and Taifu Han have gone out of the palace and will not be back until noon. It's cold, why don't you go back to the palace and wait?"
"My seventh brother is out of the palace? Where did he go out at this time?" Gu You stood in front of the gate of the Nuan Pavilion and rubbed his hair with plump snowflake cheese in his arms, and asked, "Since he is out of the palace, why don't you call me?" Where is the king?"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty and Taifu Han didn't leave the palace for fun." Baoji replied, "I heard that something happened in the previous dynasty, so Your Majesty and Taifu Han left the palace."
"An accident? What happened?" Gu You let go of his hands when he heard the word "accident." He released the puppy in his arms: "Don't play tricks on me."
"Returning to the words of His Highness King Ning, this servant also heard Mr. Yuan Bao say such a thing, and it was not true." Baoji dragged his whisk and frowned and recalled: "It seems to be for His Majesty's dismissal of officials in the previous court. Your Excellency is unwilling, saying that His Majesty can't tolerate the officials, and seven or eight of them get together and want to kill themselves in the mansion. Your Majesty and Taifu Han left the palace now."
"What did you say?!" Gu You stared, and grabbed the little eunuch by the collar of his clothes: "Say, who is the leader of the trouble! Tell me!"
"Slave...slave... I don't know... I don't know..." The little eunuch Baoji was startled, and the whisk in his hand fell to the ground.
"Come on, you're useless!" Gu You loosened the collar in his hand, turned around and hurried away, and finally shouted: "Send the dog back to me."
In the evening of the same day, there was a sporadic snowfall in the sky.
When Gu Xiu and Han Mochu came back from the palace, their bodies were stained with snowflakes.
In the Nuan Pavilion, Shanggong Wu's dining table has been set.
Whenever it snows, Shanggong Wu always makes two pots for him to eat.It is said that it can resist snow, so that when you get older, your body will not be harmed by greed for cold when you were young.
After you were seated, Gu Xiu glanced at the bowls and chopsticks beside him, and asked, "Why didn't Brother Six come over for dinner?"
"Return to Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ning left the palace at noon, he said he was going to do something, and he will be back in two days." The little eunuch Baoji stepped forward and replied.
"Yeah, that's fine." Gu Xiu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Yuan Bao, send some more secure people from the palace to Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow to see if there is anything that can help. If something happens, Send a message to the palace immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuan Bao got the order, and retreated two steps behind.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li and Concubine Ning are not here. What do you think His Highness Prince Ning is going to do when he leaves the palace?" Han Mochu poured himself a cup of hot wine, and put some of his usual wine in Gu Xiu's bowl. My favorite fire-roasted lamb.
"Whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't suffer."
When Han Mo first heard the words, he raised his lips and smiled, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning's temperament, nine times out of ten, he won't suffer."
"That's true." Gu Xiu's appetite was good, probably because he spent some energy entangled with those old speakers during the day.For some reason, just sitting there and listening to those old speakers made him feel more tired than the three-day ambushes in his early years.Back in the palace, I had a great appetite, and unknowingly ate two bowls of rice, and I still couldn't get enough of it.
"Your Majesty, you seem to be very hungry?" Han Mochu called the little eunuch to refill the rice, and filled another bowl for him and Gu Xiu.
He also spent some effort today, those officials were much more difficult than he imagined.
That group of people relied on their age, knowledge and experience, completely disregarding the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, as if what Gu Xiuzhen did was sorry for the world and for their evil deeds.
Sun Tingzhao was the most troublesome one. In front of Gu Xiu, he bluntly said that Gu Xiu held a grudge because of his impeachment of Princess Qingzhao. He was willing to die to apologize, and he only asked Gu Xiu not to hurt his colleagues.
Little did they know that Gu Xiu abolished the position of the Admonition Court just because the Admonition Court was of no benefit to the state affairs.
Before passing through the Sun Mansion, Han Mochu had thought of a way to use both soft and hard methods, but who would have thought that group of people would not accept both soft and hard ways.
Regardless of whether he has made many political achievements in the past few years as an official, it is hypocritical to repeat a sentence of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
You can't say it, you can't touch it, you can't scold it, you can't beat it.
For a moment, Han Mochu even thought that his mentor, Mr. Yi Ji, probably just didn't want to be in the same dynasty with these people, so he took a mat and went to Baiming Mountain to hide from the world.
"Mm." Gu Xiu responded in agreement, and sighed coldly: "I don't know if it's the same for all the officials in ancient times, or it's the same for all the officials in my dynasty."
"In ancient times, the setting up of court posts must have been beneficial to the country at the beginning." Han Mochu shook his head and said: "The king sits in the court, and in order not to be deceived by his superiors, he opens up the way of speech and sets up a speech officer. If your majesty doesn't want to be When there are deaf and blind people, there must be no speechless officials in the court.”
"Speakers are supposed to be the eyes and ears of the king. Right now, those who have become speech officials are looking for the small details of that high-ranking person in the name of inviting loyalty. If I don't accept the advice, I dare to die Forced, as if such a death can fulfill the fame of the whole life. Don’t you know where this death will leave the monarchy? While forcing me to submit, at the same time calling me a tyrant. Things that can start well and end well must be made to use an iron fist In short, I really don’t know what kind of idea this group of people have.”
"Everything will eventually come to an end." Han Mochu lightly patted Gu Xiu's shoulder: "It doesn't matter whether you have an iron fist or a soft hand, does your majesty still have to be subject to this rule?"
***
Early spring in mid-January, when the spring is cold.
King Ning Gu You seldom gets up early in this season.If it wasn't for the big event that he was going to do today, he wouldn't have gotten up from that warm blanket.
Gu You, who got up early, had no appetite, so he changed his clothes after eating only two yuan of snacks, and left the house in the warm car with the things he had prepared overnight.
Even the palace servants sent by Yuan Bao early in the morning were all in vain, and hurriedly followed Gu You's path to find it.
Gu You traveled seven or eight li all the way, and stopped in front of that modest mansion.Bao Fu, Gu You's personal eunuch since childhood, helped Gu You out of the car.
Gu You yawned, turned around and gave a look to the dozens of guards behind him. Those thick and thick guards kicked open the closed door of the mansion like wild horses that had let loose. .
Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in one after another, and the old man who looked after the porter looked stupid.
Gu You walked in slowly with a clump of thick fox fur in his arms, and eight servants behind him carried a large mahogany coffin, and laid it directly across the courtyard of the mansion.
Because they knew that Gu You's visitor was not kind, none of the passing house slaves dared to say a word.
The little eunuch Bao Fu brought Gu You a chair and asked him to sit down.As soon as Gu You took his seat, he yawned again and again: "There are still several houses today, you should quickly drag that old man out for me, so I can go back to the palace for dinner after I'm done."
"Yes, my lord." Baofu got the order, stood up and clapped his hands, five or six guards carried a passing house slave to lead the way, and soon dragged Sun Tingzhao, who was still asleep, out of the bed.
Sun Tingzhao was still holding his newly married concubine in his arms when he was pulled up.
Because of the national mourning, the concubine did not sign a formal concubine document and never showed up.Sun Tingzhao was dragged up in a half-dream and half-awake without knowing what was going on, pretending that someone had found out about his privately raised concubine, and immediately clamored for action.
The two guards didn't say a word, they were carried out directly by their arms.Over the age of [-], the upright old speaker was thrown in front of Gu You with his chest exposed and his clothes disheveled.
On a winter morning, it was freezing cold.
Sun Tingzhao was only wearing unlined clothing, and his feet were still bare.A gust of cold wind woke this man up completely, and when he looked up and saw Gu You, he saluted tremblingly: "I have seen His Highness King Ning, Your Highness...you...you want to... want to... ..”
"It's nothing that I came here, I just heard that you wanted to die yesterday, so I brought the coffin to you." Gu You squinted at the person, and when he raised his hand, Baofu hurriedly took the warm words brought by his entourage. Tea poured Gu You a cup.Gu You took a sip and wrote casually: "This king is here to watch you die today. The paper banner and white cloth are also complete. As soon as you die, I will have someone hang it up for you."
"Hiss..." Sun Tingzhao hugged his shoulders tremblingly. No one in the mansion dared to come over and put some clothes on him. His lips were so cold that his lips were purple: "His Royal Highness Ning, my old minister... .I..."
"What? You're not dead yet?" Gu You handed the teacup to Baofu, got up and walked to Sun Tingzhao, grabbing his tightly tucked clothes: "Yesterday, my seventh younger brother and In the face of Taifu Han, how did you do it? Why don’t you continue to do it? Just say that you old talkers are useless. Could it be that my seventh brother is wrong? Look at you, you look like a bereaved dog, and you still want to be a scholar. To remonstrate with the king? Die! Why don't you die!"
Sun Tingzhao was dragged to the big coffin by Gu You, and two big-armed guards stepped forward and pressed Sun Tingzhao's head directly against the cold coffin board.Gu You supported the coffin board with one hand, stepped on the chair he had just sat on with the other, and said sarcastically, "I tell you, my seventh younger brother is a benevolent king, but I have been a bastard since I was a child. He is just laying off employees today. You have three points of face. If you dare to make trouble again, the king himself will bring someone to search your house. Among other things, the bitch in your bed alone is enough to sentence you to exile from three thousand miles away. !"
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
"So, you give it to me, good! From! For!!" Every time Gu You said a word, he slapped Sun Tingzhao's old face.After finishing speaking, he grabbed another handful of snow-white paper money and threw it in the air, leaving a mess on the ground in the courtyard: "Go, go to the next house."
Gu You dragged the coffin to the other side, and went all over the city to look for the old officials who wanted to die yesterday.
The news was quickly passed back to the palace by the people sent out by Yuan Bao early, and reached Gu Xiu's ears.
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Ning bought eight ready-made mahogany coffins in the city yesterday afternoon, as well as Bai Banming money. He said that he wanted to mourn the officials who you went out of the palace to appease yesterday, and now they have given them to three or four families. !"
"What did you say?" Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows together: "Then why did you send the letter so late?"
Gu Xiu was in a hurry, seeing that Mrs. Jin and Xu Jingrou were not there, and the elder sister Gu Jin was taking care of Mrs. Zhang who was about to give birth in Prince Xuan's mansion.I thought that his sixth elder brother, Gu You, would be able to live in peace if he lived in the palace.
How could he have expected that Gu You would cause him a catastrophe without asking a single question.
"This slave deserves to die. This is the letter I just got. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Xiao Yuanbao knelt down on his knees and apologized repeatedly.
"That's enough, don't talk anymore. Give me a ride, and I will go and stop him personally."
"Your Majesty." Compared with Gu Xiu's anxiety, Han Mochu on the side seemed much calmer: "Why did you stop His Highness King Ning?"
"He used his body as a prince to forcibly break into the courtier's house, and gave these things back, so he can return them in the morning tomorrow? If I don't go, who can stop him?"
"Your Majesty, did you forget when those courtiers threatened to die yesterday? Since they are the ones who are going to die, is it wrong for His Highness King Ning to reward them with the coffin?" Han Mochu picked up the tea cup and blew lightly on the cup Tea stem: "Yesterday they all talked about being loyal to the king and serving the country. Now someone is fulfilling them and asking them to die rightly, but they won't die? It can be seen that this is coercion and coercion of the king by fate. His Royal Highness King Ning's move just happened to let They stop and stop."
"But..." Gu Xiu thought for a while, sat down and sighed: "Forget it, it should be like this. If I knew it would be fine, I shouldn't have gone out of the palace to appease them yesterday."
"Your Majesty went out of the palace to appease the old ministers. It seems that the king is benevolent and gracious, and it does not conflict with His Highness Ning Wang. If His Majesty did not leave the palace yesterday, there would be serious troubles, and someone would call His Majesty and the first emperor when he was enthroned. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Ning will stand out for you." Han Mochu put the teacup aside, and said to Yuan Bao: "Go and tell Aunt Wu that we will add a dish of squirrel mandarin fish that His Royal Highness Ning likes to eat for dinner today. .”
"Master, how did you know that Sixth Brother likes to eat squirrel mandarin fish?" Gu Xiu's tone was very flat, and there was nothing special about what he asked, but it sounded so sour.
"Your Majesty has accompanied Majesty to many banquets at King Ning's Mansion, so I naturally know about it." Han Mochu raised his lips and smiled warmly, and said one more sentence to the little Yuanbao: "Tell Aunt Wu, put more sugar, Your Majesty doesn't like it." Eat sour."
King Gu Xiu and Grand Tutor Han Mochu got up at dawn and put on the armor they had prepared early in the morning.Abandoning the warm car in the guard of honor, riding two tall horses side by side, lined up in a row, and drove to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for the military parade and rewards.
General Yun Jue, dressed in majestic tiger-headed silver armor, led a team of well-trained recruits to greet him in front of the barracks.
Yun Jue, who had sobered up, completely forgot what happened at the family banquet in the palace yesterday, and when he saw Gu Xiu, he still strictly abided by the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, without any slacking off.
When Han Mo first saw this, he finally understood why the ancestors of the Yun family set the iron law that no drinking was allowed in the army.
No matter how long it has passed, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu's reputation in the army is extremely high.Regardless of whether they are emperors or powerful ministers, in the eyes of those soldiers and warriors, they are generals who lead them through life and death.
Seeing them coming, the officers and soldiers of the army were all full of energy and in high spirits during the parade.
The most important thing in this military parade is the new barracks under Yun Jue's jurisdiction.
After the cavalry drills, the recruits who participated in the military parade appeared.
The soldiers for reference were carefully selected by General Yun Jue from the newly recruited 11 elite soldiers.They were lined up in a square formation like knives and axes, and everyone held a long spear!gun.Standing in the front row are all the surviving clans of the Yun clan.
Standing at the front of the phalanx is King Gu Xiu, holding the tasseled spear used by his biological mother, General Yunhui, in his hand, and he stood still against the cold wind of the new year.
The reason why Gu Xiu made such an arrangement was firstly to restore the Yun clan to their former prestige as quickly as possible, and secondly to comfort Yunyao and Yunlie's spirits in heaven.
Following Yun Jue's order, Gu Xiu's hands were long!Gun Yiheng led the recruits behind him to practice.Everyone's movements are uniform, the momentum is like a rainbow, like overwhelming mountains and shaking mountains and earth.
The Yun family travels with a dragon spear, and the spear walks like a dragon.
Nine-nine 81 style, tricks can take the enemy's life.
The scene of Han Mochu riding on horseback and Gu Xiu performing martial arts with a gun plunged him into an inexplicable illusion.It seems that the whole world has become a vast expanse of whiteness and everything has disappeared.He can only see the quilt in his eyes!The gun gave the soul to the man.
With Gu Xiu present, everything around him seemed gloomy.
He unconsciously stroked the longevity lock hanging outside the armor, and the gold lock was blown cold by the cold wind.
Touching it in the hand, the tip of the heart is hot.
All along, Han Mochu knew Gu Xiu's thoughts for him, but he never thought about his own thoughts for Gu Xiu.
Is it a monarch?no.
Since Gu Xiu came to the throne, he had abandoned the principle of being a minister, allowing Gu Xiu to find such a random reason to keep him in the palace.Same as before, living together, drinking and eating together, and governing in the same way.
Is it a bosom friend?more than.
Gu Xiu did to him what no king in ancient or modern times could do to his subjects.Gu Xiu never shy away from him, and trusts him wholeheartedly.The same is true for Gu Xiu's relatives, they will always miss Gu Xiu while thinking about him.
Is it a close relative?Very dear.
But the closeness between him and Gu Xiu is very special.Some words, he would only say to Gu Xiu alone.There are some things that Gu Xiu will only do with him alone.
He promised him that he would stay with him, and stay with him for a long life.
Mountains of swords and seas of fire, no hesitation.
Maybe, from some time ago, his thoughts on Gu Xiu were the same as Gu Xiu's thoughts on him.
It's just that no one asked, and no one exposed it.
*****
After the first day of the new year, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu got busy again.
Taking advantage of these days when the ministers are taking a rest, the two of them want to formulate the New Deal that was roughed out earlier as a serious item.When the dynasty opened on the [-]th of the first month, it was decreed to implement it.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, at dusk and evening.
The Nuan Pavilion of Xuanzheng Hall was extremely quiet.
When Han Mo first turned on the lamp to write at night, Gu Xiu was sitting beside him, lapping and lapping the ink block as hard as black gold.
These two have been like this for many years.
One never sleeps, and the other never rests.
These few days, Shang Gong Wu's family is not here.The inner room where Gu Xiu and Han Mochu lived immediately became chaotic. After all, no one except Wu Shanggong dared to clean up the table for these two.
Although the Wu family is a widow and widow who lost her husband and son, there are still a few relatives and friends in the village.Today is the end of the year, and I also want to go for a walk.I don't have to come back until early in the morning of the tenth day.
A few days ago, Mrs. Wu came to ask for an order with Gu Xiu, and even surprised Gu Xiu.After asking the reason, Gu Xiu only told her that from now on it will be the same as when she was in the palace, and there is no need to ask for such a solemn request, if she wants to go back, just go back.
As the night grew deeper, the little eunuch Yuan Bao brought sweet soup to the two of them at the exact time Aunt Wu had ordered before she left.
The soup is the pear tremella soup prepared by the imperial dining room. It looks exquisite but the taste is two points worse than Wu's Shanggong stew.
"Master, these new policies really don't need to be discussed with Zhong Shuling and others before deciding?" Gu Xiu glanced at the sweet soup, obviously not very interested.Instead, he slowly sorted out the manuscript that Han Mochu had written.
"No matter how comprehensive the New Deal is, it will affect the interests of some people. It is impossible for everyone to accept it with joy." Han Mochu lowered his head and continued writing, without moving the sweet soup in his hand: "These New Deals are beneficial to the country and the people, Your Majesty As long as you understand this point, you don’t need to discuss with too many people. After discussing, you may even change your original intention.”
"I just think, does this count as brutal? If it's been like this for a long time, wouldn't anyone dare to speak up?"
"Your Majesty is the king, the lord of the world. It is necessary to adopt a dictatorial posture from the very beginning." Han Mochu finally finished writing, and slowly moved his stiff neck: "When you first ascended the throne, you were all over the world. Except for a few officials in important positions who can still fulfill their duties, they are all trying to find out about His Majesty. Therefore, Your Majesty must let these people understand that what you want is not bureaucrats, but for the country and the people Loyal minister and good general."
"This, can it be done?" Gu Xiu couldn't believe it.
"Of course it will happen." Han Mochu also glanced at the soup bowl in his hand, without moving.His taste is the same as that of Gu Xiu, and now is not the time when he has to eat to save his life on the battlefield, and he just puts aside what he doesn't want to eat: "Who didn't think of serving the country and the people when they became an official? The ambition of Shijiaguoguotianxia? It is nothing more than being tempered by this officialdom, so they have to become smooth and philistine. Your Majesty is giving them a chance to get back their original aspiration to be an official."
"If that's the case, it's fine." Gu Xiu asked Yuan Bao, who was serving him personally, for two soft towels, wiped the dirt off his hands, and was about to pick up the two bowls of sweet soup when he heard an extremely familiar and affectionate call .
"Little master, the old man is back!"
Gu Xiu and Han Mochu raised their heads in response, and put the two bowls of sweet soup back in a very honest manner.Aunt Wu came back from the village, dressed in elegant mink fur and wearing a bright new coat, standing at the door of the warm pavilion to salute the two, followed by seven or eight young eunuchs carrying the local products she brought back from the village.
"Why does Aunt Wu come back at this hour? Doesn't that mean it's early?" The little eunuch Yuan Bao looked at his mother, and hurriedly stepped forward to take off the sable fur for Aunt Wu: "How did you come back before the palace gate was opened at this hour?" Yes? I didn’t see the guards coming to pass it on!”
"Why does an old woman go through the gate of the palace? Isn't the side door of the water tanker on the west side of the imperial city open?" Aunt Wu is a neat person, she took off her coat and came to Gu Xiu: "I can't fit my little master here. Come back a moment earlier, why is it so troublesome?"
Wu's return to his hometown this time is really a sight to behold.Years ago, Gu Xiu rewarded her with a box of gold ingots, not to mention, Princess Qingzhao and Concubine Li thought of her working hard alone in the palace to take care of Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, and rewarded her with some exquisite jewelry, new clothes, and takeaways. This is a smooth mink fur.Before leaving, Gu Xiu ordered a dozen or so young eunuchs and maids to accompany him. The scene stunned the relatives in the village.
Everyone thinks that she has become a noble person in the palace, and everyone gives her a high look.
She stayed in the village for three or four days, said everything she needed to say, and met everyone she needed to see.Immediately, she was thinking of Gu Xiu, her little master in the palace.
He ran back from the countryside in a hurry, and finally entered the city and the palace before the curfew.
"Little master, why is there all this soup left? But it doesn't suit your taste?" Wu's eyes were sharp, and she quickly noticed the cold sweet soup in the hands of Gu Xiu and Han Mochu.
"Aunt Wu, you're right. Your Majesty just doesn't like the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room." Han Mochu smiled and praised without hesitation: "I tasted it, but it didn't taste right, and I don't know if it's the wrong heat or the wrong ingredients. It’s not even a star and a half.”
"It doesn't seem right after I tasted it." Gu Xiu also seriously appraised the bowl of sweet soup that he didn't drink at all: "The taste is very bland, but after drinking it, I feel restless."
In order to avoid a nagging meal, the two had no choice but to give up all the master chefs in the imperial dining room.
After all, Shanggong Wu's family can't be offended, and Princess Qingzhao can't be offended.
That night, after Gu Xiu and Han Mochu turned off the lights and went to bed.
Like a tricky country mother-in-law, Wu scolded all the palace servants and cooks in the imperial dining room who were not serving in front of the imperial court for the past few days.
It was as if she had been away from the palace for three days, and Gu Xiu, the emperor, had become an outcast, the kind who couldn't even drink hot water.
*****
The first year of Yongding, the sixteenth day of the first month.
On the day of the resumption of the new year, the king Gu Xiu promulgated a new policy.
First: Change the official performance evaluation every three years to one year, and the standard of Ping Ding is no longer unified, but changed to time, place, and job evaluation.Those who have not achieved political performance for three years are immediately dismissed.
Second: All the watches and seals played by officials in Beijing and other places can only be used for important affairs of the time. Every year, only from the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month to the New Year's Eve can be folded up to pay respects.Violators will be punished with thirty rods and fined for half a year.If there are important matters, those who conceal and fail to disclose, once found out, will be punished with fifty rods and fined for three years.If it is serious, it will be executed and the whole family will be exiled.
Third: Ban the establishment of admonishment courts and remove the post of admonishment doctor.According to their political achievements, the officials of the imperial court should be merged into Yushitai, which is under the unified control of the Yushi doctor.All censor officials can not only impeach officials, but also write national policies, court discussions and other matters. Once they accept advice, they will be rewarded with the title of national scholar.
Fourth: Ban the executive departments with overlapping functions under the five temples and nine supervisors, and the officials in the departments will be merged into the three divisions of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War according to their political achievements and matters under their jurisdiction.
Fifth: Military service, corvee service, the service age has been reduced from 60 to 50 year by year.The recruitment age for recruits increases from 14 to 16 every year.
Sixth: In addition to the original proposition essay, three current political issues are added to Guochao Enke's selection of official positions, so that all students who participate in the examination can speak freely and innocence.
Seventh: The court salaries of all royal families should be halved.The sons of the Gu family are also integrated with the officials and the people. They can do business, work in agriculture, join the army, and serve as officials.
As soon as these seven new policies came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
None of the civil and military officials seemed to react.
Zilai Xinjun has three fires in his position, but Gu Xiu's fire is too fierce.
Chapter 91
King Ning Gu You has entered the palace.
Not for anything else, just because Concubine Li and Xu Jingrou, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, brought their little son Yuheng back to Suzhou to visit their relatives.There is no one in charge in Prince Ning's mansion, and Gu You is too lazy to see the butlers in the mansion dangling in front of him with ledgers every day.He simply took a few personal servants and the puppy named Snowflake Cheese to live in the residence in front of Ligong Lifu.
Gu Xiu and Han Mochu are in a stalemate with the previous dynasty over the New Deal.Don't care much about his business, let him mess around in the palace.If you want to go to the court meeting, you can go there, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, and you don't have to ask for leave.Every day when I am free, I take the dog for a walk in the palace.
It was day, and the sun was just right.
Bored, Gu You led Xue Huayou through the Yimen Gate to the Nuan Pavilion of Xuanzheng Palace to talk to Gu Xiu, and when he reached the gate, he was stopped by the little eunuch Baoji in front of the imperial court.
"His Royal Highness Ning, Your Majesty and Taifu Han have gone out of the palace and will not be back until noon. It's cold, why don't you go back to the palace and wait?"
"My seventh brother is out of the palace? Where did he go out at this time?" Gu You stood in front of the gate of the Nuan Pavilion and rubbed his hair with plump snowflake cheese in his arms, and asked, "Since he is out of the palace, why don't you call me?" Where is the king?"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty and Taifu Han didn't leave the palace for fun." Baoji replied, "I heard that something happened in the previous dynasty, so Your Majesty and Taifu Han left the palace."
"An accident? What happened?" Gu You let go of his hands when he heard the word "accident." He released the puppy in his arms: "Don't play tricks on me."
"Returning to the words of His Highness King Ning, this servant also heard Mr. Yuan Bao say such a thing, and it was not true." Baoji dragged his whisk and frowned and recalled: "It seems to be for His Majesty's dismissal of officials in the previous court. Your Excellency is unwilling, saying that His Majesty can't tolerate the officials, and seven or eight of them get together and want to kill themselves in the mansion. Your Majesty and Taifu Han left the palace now."
"What did you say?!" Gu You stared, and grabbed the little eunuch by the collar of his clothes: "Say, who is the leader of the trouble! Tell me!"
"Slave...slave... I don't know... I don't know..." The little eunuch Baoji was startled, and the whisk in his hand fell to the ground.
"Come on, you're useless!" Gu You loosened the collar in his hand, turned around and hurried away, and finally shouted: "Send the dog back to me."
In the evening of the same day, there was a sporadic snowfall in the sky.
When Gu Xiu and Han Mochu came back from the palace, their bodies were stained with snowflakes.
In the Nuan Pavilion, Shanggong Wu's dining table has been set.
Whenever it snows, Shanggong Wu always makes two pots for him to eat.It is said that it can resist snow, so that when you get older, your body will not be harmed by greed for cold when you were young.
After you were seated, Gu Xiu glanced at the bowls and chopsticks beside him, and asked, "Why didn't Brother Six come over for dinner?"
"Return to Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ning left the palace at noon, he said he was going to do something, and he will be back in two days." The little eunuch Baoji stepped forward and replied.
"Yeah, that's fine." Gu Xiu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Yuan Bao, send some more secure people from the palace to Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow to see if there is anything that can help. If something happens, Send a message to the palace immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuan Bao got the order, and retreated two steps behind.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li and Concubine Ning are not here. What do you think His Highness Prince Ning is going to do when he leaves the palace?" Han Mochu poured himself a cup of hot wine, and put some of his usual wine in Gu Xiu's bowl. My favorite fire-roasted lamb.
"Whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't suffer."
When Han Mo first heard the words, he raised his lips and smiled, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning's temperament, nine times out of ten, he won't suffer."
"That's true." Gu Xiu's appetite was good, probably because he spent some energy entangled with those old speakers during the day.For some reason, just sitting there and listening to those old speakers made him feel more tired than the three-day ambushes in his early years.Back in the palace, I had a great appetite, and unknowingly ate two bowls of rice, and I still couldn't get enough of it.
"Your Majesty, you seem to be very hungry?" Han Mochu called the little eunuch to refill the rice, and filled another bowl for him and Gu Xiu.
He also spent some effort today, those officials were much more difficult than he imagined.
That group of people relied on their age, knowledge and experience, completely disregarding the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, as if what Gu Xiuzhen did was sorry for the world and for their evil deeds.
Sun Tingzhao was the most troublesome one. In front of Gu Xiu, he bluntly said that Gu Xiu held a grudge because of his impeachment of Princess Qingzhao. He was willing to die to apologize, and he only asked Gu Xiu not to hurt his colleagues.
Little did they know that Gu Xiu abolished the position of the Admonition Court just because the Admonition Court was of no benefit to the state affairs.
Before passing through the Sun Mansion, Han Mochu had thought of a way to use both soft and hard methods, but who would have thought that group of people would not accept both soft and hard ways.
Regardless of whether he has made many political achievements in the past few years as an official, it is hypocritical to repeat a sentence of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
You can't say it, you can't touch it, you can't scold it, you can't beat it.
For a moment, Han Mochu even thought that his mentor, Mr. Yi Ji, probably just didn't want to be in the same dynasty with these people, so he took a mat and went to Baiming Mountain to hide from the world.
"Mm." Gu Xiu responded in agreement, and sighed coldly: "I don't know if it's the same for all the officials in ancient times, or it's the same for all the officials in my dynasty."
"In ancient times, the setting up of court posts must have been beneficial to the country at the beginning." Han Mochu shook his head and said: "The king sits in the court, and in order not to be deceived by his superiors, he opens up the way of speech and sets up a speech officer. If your majesty doesn't want to be When there are deaf and blind people, there must be no speechless officials in the court.”
"Speakers are supposed to be the eyes and ears of the king. Right now, those who have become speech officials are looking for the small details of that high-ranking person in the name of inviting loyalty. If I don't accept the advice, I dare to die Forced, as if such a death can fulfill the fame of the whole life. Don’t you know where this death will leave the monarchy? While forcing me to submit, at the same time calling me a tyrant. Things that can start well and end well must be made to use an iron fist In short, I really don’t know what kind of idea this group of people have.”
"Everything will eventually come to an end." Han Mochu lightly patted Gu Xiu's shoulder: "It doesn't matter whether you have an iron fist or a soft hand, does your majesty still have to be subject to this rule?"
***
Early spring in mid-January, when the spring is cold.
King Ning Gu You seldom gets up early in this season.If it wasn't for the big event that he was going to do today, he wouldn't have gotten up from that warm blanket.
Gu You, who got up early, had no appetite, so he changed his clothes after eating only two yuan of snacks, and left the house in the warm car with the things he had prepared overnight.
Even the palace servants sent by Yuan Bao early in the morning were all in vain, and hurriedly followed Gu You's path to find it.
Gu You traveled seven or eight li all the way, and stopped in front of that modest mansion.Bao Fu, Gu You's personal eunuch since childhood, helped Gu You out of the car.
Gu You yawned, turned around and gave a look to the dozens of guards behind him. Those thick and thick guards kicked open the closed door of the mansion like wild horses that had let loose. .
Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in one after another, and the old man who looked after the porter looked stupid.
Gu You walked in slowly with a clump of thick fox fur in his arms, and eight servants behind him carried a large mahogany coffin, and laid it directly across the courtyard of the mansion.
Because they knew that Gu You's visitor was not kind, none of the passing house slaves dared to say a word.
The little eunuch Bao Fu brought Gu You a chair and asked him to sit down.As soon as Gu You took his seat, he yawned again and again: "There are still several houses today, you should quickly drag that old man out for me, so I can go back to the palace for dinner after I'm done."
"Yes, my lord." Baofu got the order, stood up and clapped his hands, five or six guards carried a passing house slave to lead the way, and soon dragged Sun Tingzhao, who was still asleep, out of the bed.
Sun Tingzhao was still holding his newly married concubine in his arms when he was pulled up.
Because of the national mourning, the concubine did not sign a formal concubine document and never showed up.Sun Tingzhao was dragged up in a half-dream and half-awake without knowing what was going on, pretending that someone had found out about his privately raised concubine, and immediately clamored for action.
The two guards didn't say a word, they were carried out directly by their arms.Over the age of [-], the upright old speaker was thrown in front of Gu You with his chest exposed and his clothes disheveled.
On a winter morning, it was freezing cold.
Sun Tingzhao was only wearing unlined clothing, and his feet were still bare.A gust of cold wind woke this man up completely, and when he looked up and saw Gu You, he saluted tremblingly: "I have seen His Highness King Ning, Your Highness...you...you want to... want to... ..”
"It's nothing that I came here, I just heard that you wanted to die yesterday, so I brought the coffin to you." Gu You squinted at the person, and when he raised his hand, Baofu hurriedly took the warm words brought by his entourage. Tea poured Gu You a cup.Gu You took a sip and wrote casually: "This king is here to watch you die today. The paper banner and white cloth are also complete. As soon as you die, I will have someone hang it up for you."
"Hiss..." Sun Tingzhao hugged his shoulders tremblingly. No one in the mansion dared to come over and put some clothes on him. His lips were so cold that his lips were purple: "His Royal Highness Ning, my old minister... .I..."
"What? You're not dead yet?" Gu You handed the teacup to Baofu, got up and walked to Sun Tingzhao, grabbing his tightly tucked clothes: "Yesterday, my seventh younger brother and In the face of Taifu Han, how did you do it? Why don’t you continue to do it? Just say that you old talkers are useless. Could it be that my seventh brother is wrong? Look at you, you look like a bereaved dog, and you still want to be a scholar. To remonstrate with the king? Die! Why don't you die!"
Sun Tingzhao was dragged to the big coffin by Gu You, and two big-armed guards stepped forward and pressed Sun Tingzhao's head directly against the cold coffin board.Gu You supported the coffin board with one hand, stepped on the chair he had just sat on with the other, and said sarcastically, "I tell you, my seventh younger brother is a benevolent king, but I have been a bastard since I was a child. He is just laying off employees today. You have three points of face. If you dare to make trouble again, the king himself will bring someone to search your house. Among other things, the bitch in your bed alone is enough to sentence you to exile from three thousand miles away. !"
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
"So, you give it to me, good! From! For!!" Every time Gu You said a word, he slapped Sun Tingzhao's old face.After finishing speaking, he grabbed another handful of snow-white paper money and threw it in the air, leaving a mess on the ground in the courtyard: "Go, go to the next house."
Gu You dragged the coffin to the other side, and went all over the city to look for the old officials who wanted to die yesterday.
The news was quickly passed back to the palace by the people sent out by Yuan Bao early, and reached Gu Xiu's ears.
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Ning bought eight ready-made mahogany coffins in the city yesterday afternoon, as well as Bai Banming money. He said that he wanted to mourn the officials who you went out of the palace to appease yesterday, and now they have given them to three or four families. !"
"What did you say?" Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows together: "Then why did you send the letter so late?"
Gu Xiu was in a hurry, seeing that Mrs. Jin and Xu Jingrou were not there, and the elder sister Gu Jin was taking care of Mrs. Zhang who was about to give birth in Prince Xuan's mansion.I thought that his sixth elder brother, Gu You, would be able to live in peace if he lived in the palace.
How could he have expected that Gu You would cause him a catastrophe without asking a single question.
"This slave deserves to die. This is the letter I just got. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Xiao Yuanbao knelt down on his knees and apologized repeatedly.
"That's enough, don't talk anymore. Give me a ride, and I will go and stop him personally."
"Your Majesty." Compared with Gu Xiu's anxiety, Han Mochu on the side seemed much calmer: "Why did you stop His Highness King Ning?"
"He used his body as a prince to forcibly break into the courtier's house, and gave these things back, so he can return them in the morning tomorrow? If I don't go, who can stop him?"
"Your Majesty, did you forget when those courtiers threatened to die yesterday? Since they are the ones who are going to die, is it wrong for His Highness King Ning to reward them with the coffin?" Han Mochu picked up the tea cup and blew lightly on the cup Tea stem: "Yesterday they all talked about being loyal to the king and serving the country. Now someone is fulfilling them and asking them to die rightly, but they won't die? It can be seen that this is coercion and coercion of the king by fate. His Royal Highness King Ning's move just happened to let They stop and stop."
"But..." Gu Xiu thought for a while, sat down and sighed: "Forget it, it should be like this. If I knew it would be fine, I shouldn't have gone out of the palace to appease them yesterday."
"Your Majesty went out of the palace to appease the old ministers. It seems that the king is benevolent and gracious, and it does not conflict with His Highness Ning Wang. If His Majesty did not leave the palace yesterday, there would be serious troubles, and someone would call His Majesty and the first emperor when he was enthroned. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Ning will stand out for you." Han Mochu put the teacup aside, and said to Yuan Bao: "Go and tell Aunt Wu that we will add a dish of squirrel mandarin fish that His Royal Highness Ning likes to eat for dinner today. .”
"Master, how did you know that Sixth Brother likes to eat squirrel mandarin fish?" Gu Xiu's tone was very flat, and there was nothing special about what he asked, but it sounded so sour.
"Your Majesty has accompanied Majesty to many banquets at King Ning's Mansion, so I naturally know about it." Han Mochu raised his lips and smiled warmly, and said one more sentence to the little Yuanbao: "Tell Aunt Wu, put more sugar, Your Majesty doesn't like it." Eat sour."
