Save my wife all over the world

Chapter 8 The Emperor and the Empress (7)

==========================

A few days after the coronation ceremony, Gu Yang was sent to the fiefdom by Emperor Gu.

It seems that she is worried that if she continues to stay, the relationship between the two sisters should be used by someone with a heart, and some kind of gap will arise.

The Second Highness, who has always been prudent and courteous, got drunk when he bid farewell to his sister Wang the night before his departure.

In front of Ling Yan, she hugged Gu Zhong and cried until she was mercilessly thrown out of the palace by the unbearable Gu Zhong.

In the next few months, Gu Zhong and Ling Yan have been busy with the opening of the mansion.

Although it is only a sentence in the imperial edict that the granddaughter opened the mansion, it is extremely complicated to actually do it.

Although Gu Zhong has been in court since the fifteenth day, but Gu Di has not delegated power to her, and there are not many people who can use her.

And those old foxes and young princesses can't control them for the time being.

This time, Enke was presided over by her, which means that Emperor Gu gave the crown daughter the right to choose the subjects of the East Palace.

All the subjects should be loyal to the royal family and have outstanding talents. After all, when the crown maiden ascends the throne, the close ministers of the crown maiden must fill those key positions.

However, there is a mixed bag of people on the list, and those who rely on the cover of their families to win the list will be screened out.

The remaining people, those who are close to the family, will go four or five more.

There are really not many people who are upright, genuinely talented, and of high character.

The aristocratic family also has the heart to compete with the empress dowager, which is really infuriating.

Gu Zhong had finished drinking a cake of chrysanthemum tea in the past few days before finally finalizing the candidate.

Afterwards, he packed it up and threw it to Ling Yan, letting her watch the arrangements.

Ling Yan sighed indignantly that the two father and daughter were really in the same line.

By accident, the matter of arranging the servants of the Eastern Palace made her aware of some problems.

The crown prince rate Gengling arranged by Emperor Gu personally, and the crown prince Sheren who was finalized with Gu Zhong himself, were all well-known people in the original plot—in the name of a traitor, they were firmly remembered by Ling Yan.

Chen Moxian's ability to control the courtiers and the emperor so quickly is probably inseparable from the great help of these two people. He is in an important position and almost controls half of the Eastern Palace.

As for whether these two people were meticulous workers or they were seduced and betrayed later, it is not very important. They are not loyal and firm people to the princess.

Ling Yan made up his own mind to replace the servant, because the rate change was appointed by Emperor Gu, so it is not easy to change it, only to find a reason for it to happen again in the future.

The rest of the people in the palace also had to be checked carefully one by one.

Regarding Ling Yan's subtle adjustments to the East Palace, Gu Zhong didn't ask any extra questions, and handed over the East Palace to her with full authority.

"Your Highness really trusts the ministers, isn't he afraid that the ministers form cliques for personal gain and deceive the emperor?"

Ling Yan laughed at Gu Zhong's way of throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper.

"Mr. Guzhi is a man, Mr. Nobushige, if even you can't be trusted, who else can you trust?"

Gu Zhong's answer was so serious that Ling Yan couldn't help but feel the pride of "a scholar dies for his confidant".

After the subordinates of the East Palace arrived one after another, Ling Yan was put on the real job of advising the doctor by Emperor Gu, and went to the court with the empress dowager every day to listen to the government.

Not being able to sleep until the sun was high made her quite miserable.

Especially after the beginning of winter, the colder weather makes people more lethargic, but they have to stand on the Ganlu Hall early in the morning.

Listening to a group of old men arguing about trivial matters, they look like the aunts who sell vegetables in the East Street market.

After the first heavy snow in winter fell in Xijing, the ordinary days were broken.

On the same day at the court hall, an urgent memorial of five hundred miles was sent from the north - the Beiling catastrophe!

This was a natural disaster that no one expected. The blizzard came suddenly, covering the pastures in the northern pastoral area and crushing countless farmland houses.

Land roads were impassable, canals were not opened, food was difficult to transport, countless people died of freezing and starvation, refugees went south, and people's hearts were restless.

Due to heavy snow blocking the road, it has been half a month since Zoubao arrived in Xijing, and the situation in the north is probably even worse now.

It has only been six years since the establishment of the new dynasty, people's livelihood has not yet fully recovered, and the treasury cannot be said to be abundant, so it has encountered such a catastrophe.

At this time, the aristocratic family with rich farmland and rich family property learned to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and kept silent.

Gu Di also expected their reaction, he never expected that these people would take money out of his own pocket and directly order the treasurer to open the treasury.

The excavation of the canal planned at the beginning of the year was put aside, and the snow disaster had to be dealt with first before talking about other things.

Disaster relief is not the most important thing, Beiling has suffered heavy losses in this catastrophe, let alone the nomadic barbarians in the north.

The winter on the grassland is already difficult. In the past few years, the barbarians who were able to resist the winter were not easily harassed by the force of the new dynasty.

Now it is time for the entire clan to live and die, and I am afraid that it will commit massive crimes.

In the memorial, the governor of Beiling County also mentioned that the barbarians have made many attempts recently.

Mobilizing troops means military power, and most aristocratic families claim to be clean and disdain to fight.

But there are also clansmen who have been promoted by military merit, and these people have quite a bit of prestige in the army.

But the aristocratic family is already powerful, and Gu Di has made frequent actions in recent years, all of which are gradually reducing his power, it is absolutely impossible to delegate power to them at this time.

Now that the enemy is in front of him, but he seems to be in a cocoon, Gu Di looked at the noisy Gongqing in the hall, and pressed his temple with some headache.

There is no money or effort for disaster relief, but there are many people fighting for the right to divide the army.

"My son is willing to share the worries for the father and emperor!"

Gu Zhong stood on the side steps and thought for a long time, but he never participated in the discussion in the court hall, and the moment he opened his mouth, there was thunder on the ground.

"My son is willing to go to Beiling to save the people from fire and water, and to deter Xiaoxiao."

No one expected that the Empress Dowager would say something like entering the northern border.

Gu Diyou raised his eyes to look at Gu Zhong, and then looked at the people in the hall without saying a word.

No one knows what the emperor is thinking.

"His Royal Highness is filial and filial, which can show the sun and the moon. It's just that your highness has no experience in disaster relief and war, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Lang Zhongling took the lead in objecting.

"According to what Lang Zhongling said, but everyone is born with these things? Lang Zhongling, please rest assured that Gu Gui has self-knowledge, and things like talking about war on paper will definitely not happen."

Gu Zhong sneered and bowed towards Emperor Gu.

"Father, Marquis Wu of Wei is good at soldiers and horses, so he can control the northern border. As for his sons and ministers, he is willing to be his pawn."

As soon as this remark came out, no one opened their mouths to argue.

The old Wei Wuhou was a confidant general who accompanied Emperor Gu to fight in the country. Due to injuries and illnesses caused by years of fighting, he asked himself to be disarmed two years ago, and the court officials gradually forgot about him.

The first time the princess mentioned it today, she recalled the great reputation of this god of killing.

Besides, although the Empress Dowager spoke nicely and was willing to give up the power to Marquis Wu of Wei, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this Marquis is a rare and loyal person, otherwise how could he win the favor of Emperor Gu and be named a prince.

This time, even if he wears armor and is in command, it is mostly to guide the prince's way of using troops. Who dares to let the prince be the vanguard?

The Empress Dowager is bound to win the military power, as long as Gu Di does not stop it, this matter is already a certainty.

"That's right, Marquis Wu of Wei can take on this role. What would the Empress Dowager recommend for disaster relief?"

Gu Di nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

When all the ministers saw it, they knew that Emperor Gu wanted to sharpen the Empress Dowager and do such drudgery as disaster relief, and no one was willing to take the initiative to ask for it.

The hall was completely silent at this moment, and no one responded, which was the complete opposite of the bustle just now.

"In my opinion, Zuo Zhonglang is very suitable."

Gu Zhong had a dignified face, showing concern for the country and the people.

When it comes to people's livelihood and disaster relief, Zuo Zhonglang is indeed a capable minister.

If it wasn't for him being the son of Lang Zhongling, who was born weak and couldn't stand the cold, Ling Yan would have believed that Gu Zhong's proposal was sincere.

"Your Highness, let me tell you that Zuo Zhonglang was sick and asked for leave a few days ago. I am afraid that he has no intention of doing disaster relief."

Lang Zhongling hastily pleaded guilty, fearing that he was slow to speak, Gu Zhong sent his frail son to Beidi, and he disappeared before the disaster relief was finished.

"That's right, Zuo Zhonglang has always been weak. It's because I'm not thinking well."

Gu Zhong was suddenly stunned, she was just playing tricks on Lang Zhong Ling, not because of her vengeful temperament, she would not deliberately tease others.

"Your Majesty, I would like to accompany Your Majesty the Empress Dowager to go to the northern border for disaster relief."

Seeing that Gu Zhong seemed to have had enough trouble, Ling Yan stepped out to petition.

"Sir!" Gu Zhong frowned, disapproving, as if trying to dissuade him.

"Good, I have read the doctor's policy and commentary, and I can be said to be quite insightful about disaster relief. With the doctor around, the princess will think a little bit more about her actions."

Gu Di interrupted Gu Zhong's words, and couldn't wait to make a decision.

"Here's an order to tell Marquis Wu of Wei to be the General of the Northern Territory, the Empress Dowager to be the Overseer, Dr. Ling to be the Commander-in-Chief, to count the troops, horses, food and grass, and go to Beiling immediately!

Relieve disasters and calm the people, open roads to transport food, guard the northern border, and deter the barbarians!

The Taicang order made an inventory of the treasury, and the grain transport team then set off on the road. "

"I will obey your orders!"

The emperor's speech was perfect, and Gu Zhong had no room to change his words, so he had no choice but to stare at Ling Yan to express his dissatisfaction.

"Why do you recommend yourself, sir?" After going down to the court, Gu Zhong hurriedly caught up with Ling Yan and asked.

"Your Highness can invite you to go to the northern border on your own initiative, but don't allow your ministers to share the emperor's worries?"

Ling Yan raised her eyes and glanced coldly at Gu Zhong, and His Highness's aura instantly weakened.

Ling Yan was still angry with what Gu Zhong did today.

Why is this person so bold? Entering the Northern Territory personally as an empress dowager, isn't it just for nothing to give the rebels and thieves a chance to commit chaos.

"I can't... I can't always hide under the wings of my father.

This incident in the northern border is an excellent opportunity for experience. If the hearts of the North Korean army cannot be convinced, how will Gu play his hands and feet in the future. "

Gu Zhong explained dully.

"Your Highness, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, if you insist on risking yourself, please also bring your ministers along.

Because...the minister will be worried..."

Ling Yan said seriously, her tone was full of tenderness that she hadn't even noticed.

"Gu, remember it in your heart!"

Gu Zhong stared at her blankly for a while, the corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously, and he didn't know why he was happy.

The banners are hunting, and the black armor is forming a forest.At dusk, the five thousand light cavalry headed for the northern border were ready to set off.

They are both good soldiers and good generals who guard the capital. Emperor Gu specially transferred Gu Zhong to serve as a disaster relief guard.

As for the army in the north, Emperor Gu personally handed over the tiger talisman to Gu Zhong today at the Ganlu Palace. Although he is the name of the warlord, he has the reality of commanding the army.Gu Di really loves her extremely.

With the multiple guarantees specially blessed by Gu Di, Ling Yan thought that this trip would be smooth sailing, until she saw Chen Moxian among the entourage.
