Yu Fu expected that Ouyang Qi would have such a heart, but he never thought it would be so soon.
On the carriage back to the palace, out of concern about what happened in the morning, she didn't know how to speak to Gu Shubai.
He couldn't hold back his curiosity, and wanted to ask him what he had said to Ouyang Qi, which not only made him change his mind and was willing to treat him, but also handed over the military camp to Gu Shubai.
After a while, she finally said, "Big brother, what did you talk about with General Ouyang just now?"
The corners of Gu Shubai's mouth curled up slightly, thinking that this silly girl was finally willing to talk to him.
If she wasn't curious about Ouyang Qi, how long would she plan to hide from herself
He laughed and said: "Actually, I didn't talk about anything, but I just talked about a few battles between Gu's army and Xikun, and also talked about the idea of governing the army. General Ouyang is indeed a generation of heroes. Many of his ideas about army governance It happened to coincide with my father, so we had a good talk."
"Before going out, Tianshu told us what happened yesterday, and Lianzhu and the others said that you went to find General Ouyang, so I knew you were there for this. So when I was talking to General Ouyang, I told him that my father had also died of poisoning. , when you were only twelve years old, you opened your father’s wound and healed his wounds. He felt relieved, saying that seeing our brothers helping you wholeheartedly, even if he died, he would have no regrets.”
Yu Fu nodded, "At the end of the day, General Ouyang is still worried that something will happen to him, which will leave his army without a leader to deal with the disaster. Now that he sees that you are both skilled in martial arts and proficient in military tactics, he is naturally relieved and willing to see a doctor."
Gu Shubai raised his eyebrows, "More importantly, he knows that you and I are an unmarried couple, and I will definitely stand by your side. Otherwise, he may not be at ease in handing over the military camp to an outsider. After all, he trusts you. You are the one who is loyal."
When Yu Fu just returned to Beili, the court was full of unknown variables for her.
Now that the two trump cards of Bao Taifu and Ouyang Qi have been guaranteed, Yu Fu suddenly gained confidence, she thought for a moment and said: "From tomorrow onwards, you will go to the army to lead the training of the soldiers. Let the second senior brother arrange to disembowel General Ouyang for treatment."
"how about you?"
Yu Fu smiled and said: "The big fish is done, and the next ones are of course those little shrimps."
Gu Shubai sighed intentionally, "The little shrimp is behind the big fish, what about me? Where do you put me?"
Yu Fu's ears were suddenly a little hot, and it was not an option to just run away from this matter, she would have to face it after all.
She thought for a while, and plucked up her courage and said, "Brother, I lost my morals after drinking last night and was rude to you. I know Dongling is a state of etiquette, and Guhou's mansion has strict tutoring. You must not want to Such a thing happened. Otherwise, we will get married as soon as I reach Ji, and I will definitely be responsible!"
"Pfft."
Gu Shubai couldn't hold back, he laughed in a low voice, the laughter became louder and louder.
Yao Lan outside the carriage heard his laughter, her face was puzzled.
This morning he was still acting like a wronged little daughter-in-law. He didn't know what his lady said to him, but he smiled so happily.
Yu Fu was also confused, "Big Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Gu Shubai has never heard such a saying at his age, a woman should be responsible for him, isn't that the opposite
It took him a lot of effort to explain clearly to Yu Fu that nothing happened to them last night, and he was holding his waist in pain in the morning, it was all because Yu Fu kicked his wound in the middle of the night when he was drunk.
"Then... what about those marks on your chest?"
Gu Shubai pulled the collar away to let Yufu see clearly, "This is when you kicked the quilt in the middle of the night, and you scratched me when I covered you with the quilt. What do you think, huh?"
Yu Fu blushed slightly, and responded in a low voice, "Oh, I thought... uh."
She knew very little about men and women, and she couldn't explain why if she insisted on talking, Gu Shubai didn't force her to rearrange her collar.
He said: "Although what you imagined did not happen, you still have to be responsible and cannot deny it."
Yu Fu raised his head, "What are you responsible for?"
Gu Shubai raised his sword eyebrows, and his starry eyes were unusually bright, "You forgot? Then I will demonstrate it to you."
He leaned close to Yufu's face, and when she didn't give her the slightest reaction, kissed her soft lips.
The image of her kissing Gu Shubai proactively last night suddenly appeared in Yu Fu's mind, and his body stiffened immediately, he raised his hand to gently caress her eyebrows and eyes.
"Silly girl, close your eyes."
He warmed his fingertips, and gently closed her eyes. There was darkness in front of her eyes, only the touch of his lips rolling on his own.
Warm, sweet and irresistible.
She slowly raised her head, subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, and the two of them cuddled tightly in the moving carriage...
"Your Highness, are you injured?"
When Yao Lan supported Yu to get off the carriage, she suddenly noticed that her lips were slightly red and swollen, "Did you get scratched by an arrow while riding the horse just now, why are your lips swollen?"
Yao Lan's voice was not low, Gu Jiuge and the others heard that Yu Fu was injured and rushed forward to check the situation.
Gu Wenqing walked and said: "No way? I saw clearly when elder brother was shooting an arrow just now. How could it hurt Yufu?"
Seeing everyone approaching her, Yu Fu subconsciously covered her face.
"I'm not hurt, I'm really not hurt, don't look!"
Seeing that she was covering his face, Gu Xiang thought she was afraid that everyone would be worried and refused to speak, so he hurriedly said, "Xiao Yufu, put your hand down and let us see if you are injured?"
Yu Fu blushed in anxiety, covered her face and ran towards the palace, Gu Jiuge was thoughtful seeing her like this.
Looking up at Gu Shubai, he instantly understood something.
While Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang were chasing after Yufu, Gu Wenqing stared at the corner of his lips, "Brother, you are the son that father is most proud of, how did you learn to be so unrestrained?"
Bohemian...
Gu Shubai raised his eyebrows, followed his gaze and wiped the corners of his lips, a little rouge stained his fingertips.
That is the color of Yufu Lipstick.
He didn't care at all and said: "What kind of bohemian is this? I slept in Yufu's bedroom last night, didn't you hear about it?"
Gu Jiuge's complexion changed, and Gu Shubai left in satisfaction, leaving him standing there alone.
This is really defense against day and night, and it's hard to guard against house thieves. A precious cabbage that Gu Hou's mansion has worked so hard to grow... It was finally ganged up by pigs!
After much deliberation, Gu Jiuge felt that there should be a woman next to Yufu to talk to her, and Yin Jixie, as a close friend and sister-in-law, was the most suitable.
He told Yin Jiyu about this, and Yin Jiyu was so frightened that he poked the embroidery needle into his finger, "What? Brother, how could he... How big is Yufu!"
Yin Jiyu couldn't help being angry for Yufu, and Gu Jiuge subconsciously excused Gu Shubai, "You can't say that, their marriage has been settled for a long time, and the two are already in love with each other, and Beili's folk customs are open and he doesn't care about it if he thinks about it." What's more, Yufu will reach Ji soon, so it's not too small."
Yin Jixie snorted softly, "But elder brother is in his twenties, doesn't he have any self-control? What was supposed to happen on the girl's wedding night, he was so casual... Isn't Yufu angry?"
The couple were discussing about Gu Shubai and Yufu's boudoir behind their backs, Gu Jiuge felt a little strange, but as their relatives, he had to say it.
He lowered his voice and said hesitantly: "Yufu is not only not angry, but I heard from Lianbi that...Yufu drank too much last night, she dragged elder brother and refused to leave."
Yin Jixi suddenly stood up from her seat, "Huh? Then I'm going to see Yufu even more. It's best to discuss matters like this with your daughter."
As he said, he hurriedly packed up the needle and thread, and was about to go out, when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Jiuge, "If you like Lianbi, I'll go and tell Yufu to bring her here, lest your concubine's love miss each other."
Gu Jiuge was drinking tea when he heard the words and spit them all out with a puff.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What do you want? You've wronged me. I have nothing to do with her. Yes, she may be yearning for me, but I didn't mean to make her yearn for it."
Only then did Yin Jixie smile with satisfaction, "It's not because you are full of peach blossoms and attract women's hearts everywhere. If I am as capable as my mother, I will fight on the battlefield and tie you up at home. Let's see how you attract bees and butterflies!"
After saying that, he laughed too, and took Pei'er to Yufu's bedroom.
Gu Jiuge looked at her back, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, "I just like your domineering look, it's cuter than when you are gentle and supple."
…
Yu Fu was watching the courtier's memorial in the bedroom.
Most of them are papers inviting her to be enthroned, there are also some papers on impeachment of courtiers, and some papers on reforms.
She looked carefully one by one, not only looking at the contents of the booklet, but also looking up the relevant records, and thoroughly investigated the background of the ministers who submitted the letter.
Otherwise, it is impossible to see clearly whether these ministers are sincere or false.
When Yin Jiyu entered the hall, she saw her sitting behind the desk under the window, concentrating on reviewing the memorial, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her pen.
"Ji Yan, what are you doing?"
Yin Jixi put the pen aside casually, and pulled Yufu up from the seat, letting her sit on the couch.
Yu Fu was fiddled with by her inexplicably, "What happened?"
Yin Ji said angrily: "Why do you still ask me? You didn't tell me about such a big matter? You are still busy today, why don't you take a rest quickly, is your body hurting? Brother, it's true, how can you So inappropriate!"
Yu Fu listened to her talk for a while before he understood the reason for her visit, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Who told you this?"
Yin Ji saw her smiling strangely, "Your second brother said it, didn't he?"
Yu Fu told her the ins and outs, and then Yin Jixie realized that nothing happened between the two of them, they just slept on the same bed.
On the contrary, she blushed with shame, "Your second brother is really serious, let me talk to you without finding out clearly, and I'll go back and settle the score with him!"
After saying that, he left the dormitory as if fleeing.
Yu Fu sat behind the imperial case again to review the memorials, and finally put those papers away by categories, and said to the outside: "Go and invite the two ministers from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials."
Soon the decree spread to the two mansions, Zhang Jiuque, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, could do it, and Xue Bi, Minister of the Household Department, thought that Yu Fu wanted to inquire about the preparations for the enthronement ceremony, so they prepared many manuscripts for inquiries.
If she asked whether the preparations would continue, she would answer yes, and if she asked how the preparations were going, she would answer that it would be completed before the first day of next month.
With Taifu Bao and General Ouyang as the leaders, and there was no movement from Tian Yunpo, Xue Bi and the others were naturally inclined towards Yufu.
After all, she is the justifiable crown prince. It is just a polite way to let the ministers choose by themselves. Isn't it treason if they don't choose her
Xue Bi couldn't bear the charge.
Not wanting to enter the Eastern Palace, Yufu did not mention the enthronement ceremony.
"As the crown prince, I should do my best to improve the long-standing abuses in the court since I have returned to the country. There are some things that cannot be changed for a while, and the emperor presides over Yuxi and personally issues the imperial decree. But some For trivial matters, I think I can give orders as the crown prince, what do you two say?"
The two naturally answered yes.
Not to mention trivial matters, there is no monarch in the country, and as the crown prince, he is equivalent to a monarch. Even if he wants to deal with major issues, no one will dare to object.
Yu Fu smiled and nodded, "That's what I said, first of all the household department."
Xue Bi straightened his back and pricked up his ears to listen to her.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of major matters such as treasury, grain depots, and taxes. It is an extremely important department among the six departments, and it is also the one that is most likely to cause accumulated abuses. In recent years, there has been no monarch in the country, although there are Tian Yunpo and Bao Tai. Fu and the others tried their best to maintain it, but because of their status as courtiers, they are not easy to control too much. Now that the palace is back, shouldn't the moths in the household department be caught?"
Xue Bi trembled when he heard the words, and was about to kneel down to beg for mercy, but Yu Fu smiled faintly, "Master Shang Shu, don't panic, I know what's going on with you. Speaking of Master Shang Shu's wealth, if you can take away those If you put it back, I will definitely forget the past in the future. What do you think, my lord?"
Xue Bi looked up at her in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Jiuque, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was standing aside, secretly suspicious.
If Yu Fu really intends to let the past go, why did he say this in front of Zhang Jiuque? If Zhang Jiuque gets out, wouldn't it be dissatisfying for everyone in the court to know that he took money from the treasury
No, he couldn't admit it in front of Zhang Jiuque.
He looked up at Yu Fu, and was about to grit his teeth to deny it, but he saw a smile in Yu Fu's eyes, as if he was waiting for him to toast and not to eat the fine wine.
He hesitated again.
Yu Fu obviously had the evidence in hand, so it was so easy.
If he categorically denies that it may ruin his official career, but as long as he puts back the money he took away, he can keep his wealth and life...
He hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed his hand, "My minister, thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness!"
Yu Fu nodded in satisfaction, "My words are as good as gold, Lord Shangshu can rest assured, but this kind of favor is not just given casually. Lord Shangshu has been in the household department for many years, and he knows how many moths are around him best. Sir, it is best to catch them by yourself. If I let the people from Dali Temple be sent by the palace to attack and accidentally find the lord, then the palace will not be able to protect you."
Xue Bi immediately understood, "Yes, I will do it right now, no need to work for the people of Dali Temple!"
After saying goodbye in a hurry, Zhang Jiuque turned his head to look at the back of him leaving in a hurry, with a little disdain in his eyes.
Yu Fu didn't ignore his gaze, and raised his hand towards him, "Master Zhang doesn't need to stand, please sit down."
Zhang Jiuque was a little surprised when he saw the maid brought tea and put it on the seat, and then invited him to take a seat, so he sat down.
Yu Fu laughed and said: "Master Zhang, why should he be surprised? Master Xue is not worth sitting on my chair and drinking my tea, isn't Master Zhang not sure?"
Zhang Jiuque was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said, "If that's the case, why did His Highness let him go so easily? I don't know that the culprit is more hateful than the little shrimps and fishes below, and should be punished even more."
"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Beili is in an extraordinary period without a king for three years. Now is not the time to abolish the court officials, which will easily cause turmoil in the court. What's more, the entire household department must continue to operate, and it is inseparable from this household department." Shang Shu. I hold his criminal evidence in my hand, so he will not dare to commit corruption again for the time being."
Zhang Jiuque thought for a moment, "Your Highness is right, but why did Your Highness say this to my minister?"
Yu Fu raised his hand to invite him to drink tea, Zhang Jiuque took a sip from the tea cup, only to realize that this is the best snow oolong tea, a good tea that is rarely seen.
Yufu treats him with this tea, which shows the heart of reuse.
She said sincerely: "Because I know that Mr. Zhang is an upright and honest official, and the officials have a good atmosphere under your management. I also know that the Beili Dynasty has not held an imperial examination for three years. Only the people in the court It is absolutely impossible to lose without making up for it!"
Zhang Jiuque only felt that these words entered his heart, he immediately got up and cupped his hands and said: "What your highness said is exactly what I thought in my heart, and I have been looking forward to the imperial examination for a long time! It's just that there is no king in the court. Shun, the imperial examination cannot be carried out. Now that His Highness is back, it is time for revival!"
Yu Fu also stood up from his seat and walked to Zhang Jiuque, "I am at ease with Master Zhang's words. In this case, I will leave the preparation of the imperial examination to the Lord, and order the local government to resume the provincial examination first." , not only literary selections but also martial arts selections. Wait until the autumn palace selection... "
Zhang Jiuque said happily: "At that time, His Highness has already ascended the throne, so there is nothing wrong with it!"
