After I die, my wife becomes a tyrant

Hua Muyu woke up suddenly, and after sitting up, there was only confusion in front of her eyes.

With scarlet eyes in anger, she raised her hand and received two slaps:

"If you can't find Ye Qiufeng! Go and bury her first!"

He took a horse from the Taipu Temple and galloped like crazy to Ninghai Bay. Under the dark night, there were no ships traveling far in the bay. Hua Muyu sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably:

"You liar! How dare you lie to me!"

She rode her horse all over Ninghai Bay, Hangzhou Bay, Mingzhou Shipyard, etc., and when the sky was slightly bright, she finally gave up and despaired.

Back in the palace, thinking that the Mongolian sweat medicine must have been prepared in an indiscriminate way, Hua Muyu led the troops to Danbo Garden to question the crime.

"The things she gave you." Bumi hung her head obediently, and offered a small wooden box with both hands.

In the small wooden box, there is a letter, the soldier amulet of the [-]th Route Army is also inside, there is also the gold seal of the king, and a string of thin white beads. The warm white beads are very small, not good-looking, even a bit ugly.

[Mu Yu: I am so lucky to be in love with you and to spend half my life with you. I was already dead on that day 17 years ago. I can’t tell you that if I died, you wouldn’t live long, so I gritted my teeth. I persisted, I survived because of you, I was lucky to be your sweetheart, I wanted to protect you, not to let you be in any danger, the beads were polished from the broken bones taken out of the body at that time, and they were polished for a long time , although it is not pretty, I guess you would find it ugly, but I don’t know if it is better to give it to you. Let’s ask this bead string to replace me, accompany you for some time, and hold your hand for me. In March, I will send a letter to you, do not use a teacher during this period, and the return date is fixed, and my beloved wife should not be suspicious. ——Ye Qiufeng]

Hua Muyu couldn't get credible relief from the letter, she shed tears and asked:

"Will she come back alive?"

Buyu bowed his head for a moment, then nodded:

"can."

The lightness of this answer is exactly the same as that of Ye Qiufeng before yesterday. Hua Muyu showed the fierce look of a tyrant who had restrained himself for a long time, gritted his teeth and said intimidatingly:

"She must have told you to lie to me. If she doesn't come back within three months, your dead body will be used as nourishment for Danbo Garden."

……

Hua Muyu once again supervised the country and presided over the government. The Weiwei Temple added another thousand patrols to control the spread of evil rumors, causing panic among the people.

But the guards at Weiwei Temple were also worried. The king and the queen went to the state of Zhou for a banquet, and when they hadn’t returned after half a month, the people in Xifu grew more and more panic-stricken. The fishing boat went to Zhou State by sea, and after inquiring about the situation in Zhou State, it was decided whether to move the whole family to the territory of Zhou State, lest Zhou State’s millions of troops would overrun the country, causing the loss of family property and life.

It only takes half a day to get to Chuzhou by ferry from the Yangtze River estuary, and the coast of Chuzhou is also guarded by Zhou Jun, which does not prevent them from outsiders from going ashore, but they must first get a pass to enter the city.

People who are not citizens of the Zhou nationality cannot buy more than ten liters of rice grains at a time. If you become a citizen of the Zhou Kingdom, you can get an equal amount of land, and you will be paid with the same two-tax system. In addition, the Zhou Kingdom also circulates copper coins and money. "Tong Bao" and "Bao Zheng Chong Bao" are cast on the money, which can also be used. Although the polished rice in Zhou State costs seven yuan per liter, millet costs only three yuan per liter. Although it should not be sold for five yuan, there is not much less, at least the life can be stable for a long time. After many considerations, nearly 2000 people from Yue State go to Zhou State with their families every day.

Only a small number of people moved their families, and more people were afraid of losing their stable and prosperous life today, but they couldn't do anything, they could only dig more cellars to store money and food, just in case.

The 13th year of Guangxian, the eleventh day of February.

The majesty has been to the state of Zhou for a month, and there has been no news so far.

Ding Ling got off work today, came out from the palace, went for a walk, relaxed, by the way...

Listen to the people chatting.

"The state of Zhou set up a Hongmen banquet, and all the people who attended the banquet died. After the death of the king of the Western Shu Kingdom, the new king's successor felt very humiliated. All the people attacked Rongzhou in the south and Fengzhou in the north, and the towers collapsed. Well, Zhou Guo sent [-] troops to suppress it ten days later, and finally knocked down the city tower, but the Shu army was still driven away by Zhou Guo's army, and they fought back and forth repeatedly."

"People in Chuandi have a bad temper and a rigid integrity. If you don't steam steamed buns, you have to fight for your breath."

"Then what do I say about the Yue Kingdom? There has been no movement until now."

"It's not good if there's no movement? I really don't want to live a good life?"

"I'm talking about Chaoli. The king has been 'disappeared' for a month. I don't know if it's that, or he's still alive. Although His Royal Highness supervises the country and can stabilize the court, after all, a country cannot live without a king."

Ding Ling was sitting in the restaurant, eating food in silence, listening to the diners chattering around, she was also thinking, where should I go when I go beyond the country?I also think about my future life, what kind of life will it be like?

Grandpa is no longer able to do labor on the shipyard, and complains of back pain, leg pain, chest pain, and stomach pain every now and then. Fortunately, she has grown up and has money to buy medicine for Grandpa. The small house was cleaned up, but not long after the cleaning, the grandfather started to get sick, so he had to spend [-] yuan a month to rent a house in Xifu to take care of the grandfather nearby.

I would like to save money to buy a house in the West Mansion, and take Grandpa to take care of him in the West Mansion, but the house in the West Mansion is too expensive, a small bare room costs one hundred thousand yuan, and she will have to save it for four years without eating or drinking , Even if I save enough, I don’t want to buy that bare house, it feels like it’s not worth it.

It has been eight years since she entered the palace. After these eight years, she has saved a lot of gold. Because food and drink are spent in the palace, she can save twenty gold a year. In eight years, she has saved a total of 16 taels (16 ≈ 42.24 yuan).

The money that grandpa saved in the early years has been spent on buying medicine for him in recent years, and grandpa loves meat, and she is not willing to take away his meat.

When I take the exam in October, if I can't get a higher class in order to get a promotion and a higher salary, the monthly salary of two thousand yuan is only enough to support my grandpa.

Looking around at the diners, there were one or two more meat dishes in front of them, Ding Ling was a little curious, how could they eat meat so easily, and I...

Buying half a catty of meat for grandpa a day, after a month, it will cost [-]% of the monthly tribute.

……

Chang Chaoshang, Hua Muyu was sitting in the center in front of him. If nothing unexpected happened, today's topic was the succession of the eldest son.

After the fall of the state of Wu, more than [-]% of the courtiers in the DPRK handed over official citations. Some of them were indeed because they were too old and believed that they would no longer be able to serve their duties. Half of the halls are new faces.

"Your Highness, it's been a month, and the Majesty still hasn't heard from you. We can't wait any longer," Zhang Yi, the new Minister of War, boldly urged:

"When the Yijin army marched and joined the army earlier, the majesty's military order was difficult, but I could understand the majesty's consideration. The majesty did not want me to die in vain. This military order has been fully preserved, and it is time to appoint a new monarch and formulate a new national policy."

"In this month, has the Zhou Kingdom been hostile to our Yue Kingdom?" Hua Muyu asked lightly.

After Zhang Yi hesitated, he bowed his head and said "No".

"This shows that although the Majesty has not heard from him, he must be busy dealing with Zhou Guo. Zhou Guo is not in a hurry. I am in a hurry when I cross the country." Hua Muyu quickly refuted this reason in a few words.

"The Lord of the Western Shu Kingdom was poisoned to death with poisoned wine at the banquet, and so were the local envoys who attended the banquet together. How can the Majesty..."

Qiu Hu, who had been transferred from Quanzhou to be the servant of the household department, was interrupted by Hua Muyu before he could finish speaking:

"Don't talk nonsense, the majesty dare not die without my palace's permission."

Having said that, Hua Muyu was really anxious, and could only grit her teeth and endure the turbulent suffering.

Ye Qiufeng, you have already died for me once, don't die for me again, please.

"In short! A country cannot be without a king for a day! Please let your son succeed you as the king!"

Seeing that Hua Muyu couldn't persuade Hua Muyu, more than a dozen courtiers immediately stood up, bowed to Hua Yulu in unison, and forced him to take over.

Hua Yulu is 21 years old, and he is no longer a timid child. Back then, his father replaced him in order to quell the crisis. Today's crisis is much more serious than that. If Zhou Guo sent another million troops, would he be able to deal with it?

No.

In peacetime, everyone is greedy for the throne, but in times of turmoil, who dares to come up, the Lord of the Wu Kingdom was named a humiliating disobedient Marquis by the Zhou Kingdom, and the main battle general of the Wu Kingdom was named a Hunde Gong, and there is shame Hou, Qiu Raccoon Lord, Fan Nanghou, and Pig (pig) Duke.

It's really strange, these rumors have spread into the Yue Kingdom, and the news of the war with the Zhou Kingdom also came from the Xishu Kingdom far to the west, so how come the news that there is no grandfather?

"Father must be dealing with the state of Zhou. How can you say that there is no king, and you will return to the throne. There is a world of difference between exhorting and persuading. Don't mess yourself up."

……

Hua Muyu lived through the torment like years, and usually woke up suddenly before dawn in the morning. While enduring the torment, he supported and presided over the government affairs. When he really couldn't hold on, he would go to Danbo Garden and ask random questions.

For example, can she really come back within three months, for example, is she still alive, for example, how is her current luck, whether she has encountered difficulties again, etc.

After asking and asking, the suffering is still the same, and she can only drink to relieve her worries. Fruit wine has no taste for her, it tastes like drinking water.

Liang Nanling and Ying Wenjun accompanied her to drink in silence, drank more and more concentrated steamed wine, and then listened to her swearing wildly after drinking. After she finally fell asleep drunk, she left Jingling Palace with a tired face. Yuzhen didn't even dare to come to find her mother. When she came, she heard those unbearable curses. Although she didn't scold her, she just listened to her aggrieved and cried.

When the two taxes came to the spring seedlings again, the household department came to report:

Our Yue State loses [-] farmers every month, and the fields in the fields are harvested early by farmers and taken away or sold off.

Hua Muyu didn't respond at all, she left as soon as she wanted to, and she couldn't be tied up to keep her away.

On the first day of May, not only did the March deadline come to an end, but it was also twenty days overdue.

Hua Muyu felt that she could not hold on any longer, and she didn't know what she was waiting for, let alone whether she could really wait for her to come back.

Outside the Great Inner Hall that day, the Taipu Temple and Zongzheng Temple were busy arranging a grand feast. The floor was still covered with scarlet felt, and two rows of vermilion mat tables were placed on both sides of the scarlet felt. A sacrificial platform?

Hua Muyu walked over suspiciously, stopped a Lang Guan who was busy making arrangements and asked:

"What are you doing? Who issued the decree?"

Lang Guan just shook his head and said: "The four ministers of Zongzheng Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, and Taipu Temple jointly ordered it, and the humble officials don't know the inside story."

With a question mark on her face, Hua Yuzhen came trotting suddenly, followed by two panting palace servants running behind her.

"Mother, I have extracted some white lotus essential oil, come to the East Palace quickly, and I will try it for you."

"okay."

Hua Muyu followed Yuzhen to the East Palace with a dazed expression on his face. Yuzhen had a happy smile on his face, as if there was something happy about it, and so did the two palace servants, making people puzzled.

Yuzhen tossed her face for more than an hour, first applied face, then essential oil, and then a pass of makeup, as if every grain of makeup was carefully calculated to be used on her face, and lightly dabbed some lip balm, To make her lips look more rosy, she finally took off her black crown dress and put on a red-breasted black dress with more embroidery and gold embroidery, only to hear Yu Zhen say "you're done" proudly.

Hua Muyu has a bad temper recently, so she couldn't help giving her a blank look:

"How difficult is it to deal with the mother's face? It's a great achievement."

Hearing this, Hua Yuzhen almost cried aggrieved again. She pouted her little mouth and wanted to cry. Hua Muyu felt a little distressed seeing her like this. She looked like Ye Qiufeng, who loved Ye Qiufeng as much as she did. cry.

"Don't cry, mother is joking."

Yu Zhen pursed her lips and laughed again. This quick switching between crying and laughing was more like Ye Qiufeng.

"Mother, today is the first day of the fifth lunar month. All things are suitable. Let's go to a banquet."

"When did the holidays pop up? What about all things?"

"Oh, it's an auspicious day anyway. On a good day, the courtiers are all going to join in the fun and have a feast. You have to go too."

Hua Muyu cursed and cursed all the way, wasting money and wasting money for nothing, and the Sisi Siqing wasted money from her treasury without being ordered. Yuzhen couldn't help but said, "It didn't cost much, just more than 1000 taels of gold", Hua Muyu She was even angrier when she heard that this was enough for her to eat 500 million shrimp dumplings, clamoring that when the fun of the day was over, all four ministers would be dismissed.

She was led by Yuzhen to the lower left side of the sacrificial altar. After she was seated, she looked around at the red felt that spread almost to the entrance of the palace, as well as the mat tables on both sides of the red felt. Ten courtiers sat on each mat table. There were nearly a hundred seats.

Silently eating shrimp dumplings and getting sulking, he raised his eyes to look at the altar from time to time.

The Siqing and two young ministers of Zongzheng Temple recited the Taoist scriptures of the state religion on the stage, and then invited Yulu to go up and worship heaven and earth with nine pillars of golden incense.

The minister of the Honglu Temple and the two young ministers guided the etiquette, and the courtiers at the banquet stood up one after another, followed Yulu, and knelt down to worship the heaven and the earth. Hua Muyu also knelt down while swallowing shrimp dumplings.

"Your Highness, please pray according to the propriety!" Honglu Temple Minister Huo Jun spoke in a melodious voice, the voice was so loud that it almost reverberated.

Hua Muyu frowned and got up, swallowed another shrimp dumpling, and was about to walk to the side of the sacrificial altar when Huo Jun hurriedly stopped him:

"Eh?! Go to the left, your left!"

She had to go back impatiently, walked to the left side of the sacrificial altar, and walked up the steps step by step.

After walking the stairs, Huo Jun raised his hand to stop her walking:

"Just stand there."

Hua Muyu was so annoyed that she wanted to curse, but Huo Jun faced the front and said in a melodious voice again:

"On the first day of May, Shenji, the auspicious time has come. The god of earth soldiers will block the evil spirits. The ruler of the star of fate, Jilu, is in charge of marriage. It is suitable for cooking stoves, offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, fasting and offering sacrifices, rewarding gods, seeing nobles, and marrying!"

"Master Zuo Fu has arrived, and Lord You Fu please come to your seat!"

As soon as the words fell, Hua Muyu was dazed, and saw that directly opposite her, someone was climbing up the stairs.

After a moment of loss of vision and then recovered, I saw the person directly opposite, wearing a gold and black crown uniform, because he covered his red hijab to block his sight, he accidentally tripped his foot and almost fell, only to hear "Oh!" , the red hijab also slipped off by itself because of the leaning of the body.

Ye Qiufeng looked flustered, and was bowing down to pick up the red hijab, annoyed that he lost the chain at a critical moment.

"Autumn wind?" Hua Muyu's eyes were wet immediately, and full tears fell down one by one.

Ye Qiufeng pinched the red hijab in his hand, looked at her with reddish eyes, nodded with a squeezed smile, and said loudly:

"Mu Yu, I'm back to marry you, or, to marry you."

Hua Muyu hugged her tightly, and while the tears were falling, she was also punching and kicking:

"Forget Baduan, it took 110 days and [-] hours to come back!"

Ye Qiufeng hugged her tightly, and at the same time thought, in order to come back, I'm afraid I will become a sinner through the ages.

……

In the Ruisheng Garden of the Bianliang Palace, Wang Jing was holding a jug and filled another glass for her.

If I die, Yulu will succeed. If he chooses to fight, Zhou's army of one million will make the entire Yue Kingdom miserable.

Even if there is a way to defeat Zhou Guo, by then, I am afraid that in the land of the Central Plains, if I really want to, there will be only dead bodies left.

Follow the trend, it is man-made, before I die, let me recite this eternal infamy.

She put down her glass and stood up, facing Chai Shirong, knelt down slowly:

"Your Majesty, I surrender. In order to protect the common people from being attacked by soldiers, I offer myself to Zhou."

"Self-declaration of the frontier?" This proposal was a bit new, and Chai Shirong couldn't help thinking, what kind of schemes were the defeated bandits playing, but he was interested to hear how the self-offering of the frontier was done.

He stretched out his hand to Ye Qiufeng with great interest:

"Pingshen, tell me in detail, how is the method of self-dedication?"

Behind Ye Qiufengping, she walked towards the entrance of Ruisheng Garden, pointed to the three large wooden boxes she brought on this trip, and motioned for the imperial guards to drag them in front of Chai Shirong:

"Your Majesty, the officials and ministers in Zhejiang, Zhejiang and Lingnan have brought details of their appointments, as well as the laws currently in force. All the officials and ministers have been appointed to various places through examinations, imperial examinations or talent recommendation. Their past governance achievements are also the same. There are detailed records," Ye Qiufeng paused, pointing to the third box and continuing:

"After reading it, Your Majesty, please take another look at the appointment letters of the officials of the West Mansion and the local officials. Because the area under the temporary rule of the ministers is small, so whether it is the West Mansion, or the officials used by the states and counties, and the conditions of their appointments, the minister Mostly understand."

Chai Shirong glanced at the three big boxes, and after casually flipping through each box a few times, his brows were tightly frowned, because the records he brought were a bit too much, and he might not be able to read them all in half a month. According to the record, even the annual tax payment of each state is recorded in detail.

I can understand her intentions——

To keep all the incumbents, she believes that the current incumbents are all virtuous and loving people.

And avoiding the war, unwilling to fight against Zhou Guo.

"Surrender without a fight. If you do this, you won't be afraid of being infamous through the ages?" Chai Shirong asked.

"I can understand what your majesty says, and I can understand what your majesty writes. Your majesty calls himself a native of the Central Plains and Han people, and calls the land under your feet the Central Plains. So do your ministers. Your majesty uses copper coins and gold to eat and drink, and so do your ministers. Your Majesty’s Dazhou, the laws are all improved on the old system of the co-lord, and the same is true for the land where the ministers temporarily rule. During the Dazhou week, a liter of rice costs seven yuan, and the minister in Zhejiang needs five yuan, which is only two yuan cheaper. There is not much difference. That being the case, what is the difference between the state of Zhou and the state of Yue?"

"My family is in the world, but this surname is different." Chai Shirong said.

"I don't want the royal power that is piled up with the corpses of generals and common people."

At this point, Chai Shirong fell into deep thought, chuckled from time to time, reached out to take the jade jug diagonally opposite Ye Qiufeng, and poured a glass of wine for Ye Qiufeng himself:

"Drink the wine, the wine I gave you must be drunk."

Ye Qiufeng thought to himself, this Tai Gua is really vicious, and he completely believed in this damn destiny.

Mu Yu, I have made you a widow. In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse to atone for your sins, and then I will be killed by Xu Fangyi to take revenge.

She raised her hand to raise her glass, closed her eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.

Waiting quietly for about a quarter of an hour for the sharp pain piercing through the intestines, but before it came, Chai Shirong let out a chuckle:

"Did you really think it was poisoned wine?"

Ye Qiufeng was surprised: "Then, they..."

"The contents of the cup are different from each other."

Chai Shirong stood up and walked out of the garden. He ordered the Imperial Army to lead Ye Qiufeng and drag the three large wooden boxes into the meeting hall. More than a dozen important officials from the six departments of the three provinces of the Zhou Kingdom were also summoned.

Ye Qiufeng suddenly held up a glimmer of hope, hoping that she hadn't killed Xu Fangyi, but she also vomited blood and her face was full of pain...

While distracted and looking forward, Chai Shirong and the courtiers were flipping through the records in the wooden box. Because the records were detailed and the viewers needed more patience, they couldn't help but sneered:

"The other Jiedu envoys, as well as the lord of the Western Shu Kingdom, all brought a lot of contributions this time, but you only brought the empress, and these three broken boxes."

"Sacrificing refers to offering one's personal belongings. Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, why offer it?"

Chai Shirong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, Aiqing is eloquent. I want to stay with you in Gyeonggi. I will be with you every day for entertainment. I will be happy all day long."

Chai Shirong was in a good mood, but when he looked down at Zailu, his brows became pimples again.

The "handover" of the affairs lasted for three full months. In order to test the true meaning of the Yue Kingdom, Ye Qiufeng was almost imprisoned in the meeting hall, and no news was allowed to leak. Three meals and even rests were all in this meeting hall. On Mu Yu's letter, the words "Don't use the teacher" were written.

Although the two countries are similar, there are still many differences. For example, the functions of the six prisons in the Yue State are completely different from those in the Zhou State. Moreover, the Yue State has no three provinces and no prime ministers. The main similarity is that the state of Zhou also encouraged businessmen and was not restricted by the concepts of scholars, farmers, businessmen.

He also communicated and recorded many requests and opinions from the Zhou State. The officials and ministers of the Yue State will be directly sent by Bianliang from next year.

The handover is very tedious, and I am even more worried that after the handover is over, I will also be under house arrest in Bianliang, like Xu Congguang, and will be detained|humiliatingly knighted.

I'm not afraid of being insulted|humiliated, but I'm afraid of being placed under house arrest, then I won't be able to see Hua Muyu.

"Your Majesty, since the handover can be done peacefully, why not allow a transitional period for the ministers, and the land temporarily governed by the envoys will be completely brought under the rule of the Zhou Kingdom during the transitional period." After the final records were read and the communication was over, Ye Qiufeng offered to propose.

Chai Shirong pondered for a long time, but he still had concerns. He worried that such a protector of the people would be too popular. If the transition period was too long, this person would have a clever mind, or he might come up with unexpected schemes:

"Within three years, the two Zhejiang provinces claimed to belong to the state of Zhou, and no one recognized them."

"In this way, I need ten years. Your Majesty has set ten years to expand the world and ten years to achieve peace. Now the world has been set, and the ten years to achieve peace coincide with the time required by the minister. If you can return to the West Mansion, the minister will The first thing to do will be to disband the armed forces."

"The disbandment of the three armies is full of sincerity. I will give you ten years. I think you have made a lot of achievements. I will make you a loyal king."

"Your Majesty can just give you a pacifier who will stop for ten years. If there is chaos, you will be recruited, and if you are in disaster, you will be appeased. It is practical."

Feng Kedao, who had retired to his official position to take care of himself, was sent as a ambassador to lead people to follow Ye Qiufeng as a watchdog.

He is not afraid of dying in the Yue Kingdom. The good saying is that Ye Qiufeng is devoted to peace of mind for the people, but the ugly saying is that he is cowardly. He agrees with the nice saying that the way of raising people in the Zhou Kingdom is similar to that of the Yue Kingdom, and even worse than that of the Yue Kingdom. country a little bit.

And if he died in Yue State, Zhou State's million-strong army would not be a display.

In short, the trend of the times, the country of Yue has a destiny that cannot be violated.

……

Thinking back to the big wedding feast, holding Hua Muyu in his arms who was thinking about him day and night, but was punching and kicking her, Ye Qiufeng put everything aside for the time being, and only cherished this moment when he could hold her tightly.

"Mu Yu, should I marry you as the empress of the country, or should I marry you and be your concubine?"

Hua Muyu raised her head to look at her bun, except for her temples, her silver hair occupied another [-]%.

"Ye Qiufeng, I married you, but I can't protect you well, so I want to marry you," tears rolled down with the words, but with a smile:

"I just hope that in the rest of my life, I can follow you wherever you go. I want to share weal and woe with you instead of always being protected by you."

While Ye Qiufeng wiped away her tears, he shed tears again:

"The number of times I have protected you is too little. I made you suffer and endure hardships since you were young. Now you are so selfish. In order to survive, I will not hesitate to suffer and endure hardships for you. I want to keep you and give them away. Speaking of which, I am really sorry for you in this life." , the title of Yue State is gone.”

"The country is dead, the mountains and rivers are here, and the city is full of smoke in the spring. The most important thing is that you are here."

After finishing speaking, Hua Muyu stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Qiufeng, who subconsciously hugged her waist.

Surprised uproar wafted into his ears, Ye Qiufeng didn't care, let alone whether he was middle-aged, so he was too greasy, and kissed Hua Muyu passionately.

Yu Zhen, who was sitting around the mat table, stared blankly for a long time before turning his head to look at Aunt Liang and Aunt Wenjun beside him, and then at Ding Ling, his personal servant.

Ding Ling looked at it with a nympho smile:

"Wow, I have been very curious since I was 13 years old, whether the Majesty and His Highness are really as loving as the legends say, although it has been confirmed for a long time, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I am even more sure, it is a bit greasy, and they are so old... ..."

"Tch," Yu Zhen rolled her eyes at her:

"Now that you know, are you still trying to be my father's harem?"

"???" Ding Ling exclaimed:

"I just came to join in the fun, who knew I actually came in."

"Hey," Liang Nanling sighed:

"Poor me, I have been infamous as a 'concubine' for nearly 20 years. I was admitted to the palace by the examiner based on my ability, but I have to be rumored to be a concubine. I am so pitiful."

Ye Qiufeng bit his swollen lips lightly, suppressed the tingling current of affection, briefly parted the passionate kiss, turned his head to Zongzhengsi Qing and Taichang Siqing and quickly shouted:

"After Gu officially married Hua Muyu as the country, he properly arranged and disbanded all the harem, wrote the royal family tree, issued a decree and announced it to the world, and held a grand feast for three days in the 68 squares of the West Mansion, and invited all the people to have a wedding banquet."

"In addition, let the world know that the lord has reconciled with the state of Zhou and has returned without any worries. In the next 300 years, the flames of war will not be ignited in our Jiangnan area."

After finishing speaking, Ye Qiufeng picked up Hua Muyu in his arms, stared at Hua Muyu with a smirk, and quickly approached Jingling Palace with small, steady steps.

……

In the 13th year of Guangxian, on the sixth day of May, Chang Chao.

All the Zhu cases arranged in the inner hall have been withdrawn, 66 state governors, 450 county magistrates of eight counties, [-]th route marching chiefs and military divisions, [-] generals, and [-] captains have all been summoned When they arrived in Xifu, more than a hundred courtiers also came to court.

Nearly 900 people squeezed into the inner hall, which was extremely crowded.

After everyone had arrived, Ye Qiufeng stood on the steps in front of the throne. All the officials were about to bow and salute, but Ye Qiufeng raised his hand to stop:

"This time, I am here in the name of the envoy of the State of Zhou to proclaim the decree. Those who read the taboo will kneel down to accept the imperial decree."

As soon as this remark came out, the court was in an uproar. Ye Qiufeng slapped the gavel again and again, ordering silence. The uproar was so tight that he couldn't even hear the sound of the gavel. Ye Qiufeng could only frown and look at Feng Kedao who was standing outside. , Feng Kedao motioned for the Imperial Guards of the Zhou Kingdom to enter the court hall, and shouted in unison:

"Silence! Be quiet and listen!"

Ye Qiufeng announced that in the next ten years, Xifu will be downgraded to the accompanying capital of the State of Zhou. It took most of a day to pass on the letter of appointment from the State of Zhou and the decrees issued by the State of Zhou to the governors and county magistrates of the states and counties. National order.

The Yijin Army revoked the army designation, and 20 Lang will give each person ten taels of resettlement fees, and receive the main ID card issued by Zhou Guo. same.

The brave army revoked the army designation, and 20 Lang will be allocated to 66 states and more than ten states in the state of Zhou to serve as patrols in local patrol houses. Those who voluntarily retire will enjoy the same treatment as the Yijin army.

Cancel the division of main and guest registrations, and the states will re-create the registers according to government orders, and replace the household registration plates for the people of each state.

Following the two-tax system.

"Edict of the Son of Heaven, the system said: The generals of the Eleventh Route of the Yijin Army and the Brave Army, the military advisers, and the generals, I greatly appreciate your bravery, strategy, bravery and good fighting skills. The special edict entered the capital, and it is especially important. Now Youyun is ten The six prefectures only recovered the five prefectures, the tranquility of the Han people, the long-term stability of the Central Plains, and the unification of the Central Plains are still long-term and obstructed. I hope that the warriors of the Central Plains can unite to fight against each other instead of killing each other."

"Emperor Tianzhao, said: I have heard that the six ministries, nine temples and six supervisors of the accompanying capital are knowledgeable, far-sighted and talented. I hope that all the beloved ministers will continue to shoulder important responsibilities and serve me in charge of accompanying the capital. There are no big or small things. , I will personally drive to patrol, and I will reward you generously."

Three boxes of appointment letters brought back from the state of Zhou, three boxes of governance decrees issued to the states, six boxes of official talismans of each rank, samples of Zhou's household registration dental plaques, and a total of eighteen volumes of "Great Zhou Law", a total of one hundred After the remaining [-] sets of boxes were taken away by the officials, Ye Qiufeng finally announced:

"Xiangxi Mansion is Hangzhou, and the palace is temporarily the accompanying capital. The court of the Yue Kingdom is disbanded, and the name of the Yue Kingdom is changed."

"The state of Yue fell, and it was the 76th year of the state."

……

The courtiers dispersed in confusion, but before Taifu Temple could be confused, they were surrounded by Yijinjun and Yongwujunlang who came to collect resettlement fees. two gold), but the "dog tags" were tacitly kept as a souvenir.

Fortunately, my country of Yue is rich, and the national treasury is also full of gold, silver and copper all year round. The resettlement fee of 20 clothes and brocade army is only 200 million taels of gold in total, which can be paid out by the treasury. In the past ten years, I have not paid tribute to the state of Zhou. Saved tens of millions of taels of gold.

It’s just too tiring, counting money and stringing money all the time without stopping. I was so exhausted that I had to call the palace servants of the palace guard over, and Taifu Temple would take a few people to help count money, string money, and check. And check military status.

"Before the war, my country will be gone." The bewildered Lang Jiang said to himself.

General Lang, who had already reacted, also said in a daze as if he was talking to himself:

"Anyway, I can't fight, and the peaceful handover is pretty good, but it's a little...too sudden."

"Do you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or go home to eat wine and drink meat?"

"I feel that what the majesty said is correct. They are all from the Central Plains. Why kill each other? If they want to kill, they are going to kill the notorious Khitan barbarians."

"The question is, is this gold coin worth a thousand copper coins in Zhou?"

"It is said that the Majesty seems to have known this day more than ten years ago, so when the Wu State issued iron coins, and when the Yue State was short of copper, it also resolutely refused to issue iron coins, and always used the same currency as the Zhou State. Grain prices are also gradually in line with Zhou Guo. Many people have moved their families to Chuzhou. I heard from them that Zhou Guo is the same except that rice is two or three dollars more expensive, and the land there is cheaper than mine. The country of Yue is much flatter and more fertile, unlike my country of Yue, which not only has many mountains, but also competes with rivers and lakes for the wei fields, which is very laborious."

"That's good, but I don't know if other colleagues think the same way."

"Hey, it's probably going to be a few years of turmoil. After all, people have backbones and integrity. Those with stronger backbones and integrity may not be so easy to accept."

"Actually, I also think it's too sudden."

……

Ding Ling entered the palace in a daze, and eight years later, he packed his bags and prepared to leave the palace in a daze.

She does have a place to go. Yuzhen said that she would buy another mansion with her mother and father in Lin'an County, and wanted to take her with her. Ding Ling was very happy, but also asked a bit embarrassedly, if the mansion could give her a separate side room , she wanted to take care of Grandpa, Yuzhen readily agreed, but there were hundreds of houses in the □□ mansion, and there were only a few members of their family, and they couldn't finish it.

I squeezed together with those generals at Taifu Temple for a long time, waiting in line to receive resettlement fees. These generals were very respectful and polite to them. When they saw women beside them, they deliberately avoided them. Ding Ling thought, I am from the Yue Kingdom The Yijin Army and the Brave Army have strict military discipline, although their voices are a bit rough and their speech is rough.

Dismissed palace servants can receive thirty gold (three taels) as a resettlement fee, that is, they will not work, and they will be paid for a year as a white-collar worker.

No, from now on, there will be no Yue country, but people from Zhou country.

Feeling like something has changed, yet feeling like nothing has changed.

After receiving the resettlement fee and leaving the palace, Ding Ling saw a lot of onlookers in front of her. She turned her head to go up the tower, and couldn't help being startled——

There are five "old men" standing by the gate tower, with white silk wrapped around their necks?

"Long live Da Viet!"

"Swear to live and die with Dai Viet!"

After shouting more than a dozen slogans, the old men jumped down one after another, the white silk snapped, and the old men fell to the ground with a slap, blood and white things splashed all over the ground.

The onlookers were terrified, some fled in all directions, and some screamed loudly.

"Where are the people from Weiwei Temple! Tell them to come out and save people!"

"Isn't the one who jumped to his death the Minister of Wei Weisi? It seems to be Yin Rui?"

"What?! Quickly call the guards, their Siqing fell to his death!"

Ding Ling trotted quickly to the new mansion purchased by the Maharaja to inform Ye Qiufeng.

When Ye Qiufeng heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

She had expected this kind of thing.

It is expected that there will be many courtiers who will sacrifice their last loyalty to the motherland with death.

"Ding Ling, it's not convenient for me to go out. Take some money and find some retired generals, or officials who know them, and ask them to help, help... Collect the corpse and try to be as decent as possible."

When she came out again, she understood why it was "inconvenient to go out".

Some of the onlookers, blushing with excitement and thick necks, clamored in their mouths that "the lord is a traitor", "the lord is greedy for life and fears death and betrays the country of Yue", "going to join the army to fight against the country of Zhou".

There are also residents who do not agree with this point of view, and their faces are red when they disagree with each other.

"The purpose of establishing a country is to protect the people. If the country exists, but the people live in dire straits, what is the use of the country?"

"The lord obviously doesn't want my country to be slaughtered by millions of troops, how can you call the lord a traitor!"

"Besides, even if we resist, our country of Yue only has 40 troops, can we stop millions of troops? Resistance is useless!"

"That's right, even though the country is gone, our life hasn't changed, and we haven't seen Zhou Guo send people to yell at us."

Ye Qiufeng accompanied Hua Muyu to plant flowers and drink fruit wine at the mansion. In his spare time, he also brewed and steamed wine himself to give Hua Muyu
