Princess and the General

Chapter 428: 283 The needle picks the jade finger and walks the gold thread (second update)

Views:

Beginning with the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, the six ministries of the court were all governed.

Extending from the six ministries to each department's yamen, Beili's court atmosphere suddenly took on a new look, and all the officials felt the benefits of having a master in the court.

——It is justifiable for her to move the Six Departments of governance. Anyone who dares to do anything other than her, even the highly respected Tian Yunpo, will inevitably be speculated to have ulterior motives.

However, Yufu's hand can only reach here after all, no more.

"Old official, His Royal Highness has been acting in the past few days. Not only is he well aware of the situation of the six ministries and each department, but also the countermeasures are even sharper. If this is the case, why doesn't Your Highness continue to rectify?"

Taifu Bao took all the ministers to the East Palace to persuade Yufu, Yufu politely invited everyone to sit down and drink tea, but did not answer Taifu Bao's words.

Chen Jingxing also said: "That's right, His Highness rectified the Six Departments, which can be described as swift and resolute, and instantly stopped the unhealthy trend in the court. I admire you! Please continue to rectify the court."

Yu Fu raised his eyes and glanced at him, Chen Jingxing admired Tian Yunpo very much in the past, although he treated her with respect, it was not comparable to treating Tian Yunpo.

Ever since she came back to Beili and made her mark in the court, Chen Jingxing's attitude towards her was also different, and she became more respectful and respectful.

Yu Fu picked up the teacup, and suddenly stopped, "Since I came back, Mr. Tian hasn't come to court. I don't know what's wrong with him?"

The officials paused, if Yufu hadn't mentioned Tian Yunpo, they really hadn't thought of him these days.

In the past, they felt that he was the only one in the court, but now that Yufu came back, they found that this young prince had even more surprising powers, which exceeded their expectations time and time again.

Chen Jingxing stepped forward and said: "Return to Your Highness, the last time His Highness said in the court hall the words of the king who asked all the ministers to choose their allegiance, Lord Tian must have heard it too. Probably to avoid suspicion, that's why you didn't come to the court?"

Speaking of this, Bao Taifu said: "Your Highness, the preparations for the enthronement ceremony are almost done. The first day of next month will be the day of His Highness's enthronement. Your Highness, please make preparations early."

Ready so quickly.

Yu Fu looked at the faces of the officials, they didn't have any special reaction, everything was logical.

Only then did she reply to Bao Taifu's words, "After all, this palace is only the crown prince. For the higher-level governance in the court, it is not right to change the name as the crown prince. Since all the ministers support this palace as the king, it is better to wait until after ascending the throne. How about rectifying it again?"

From the first day of next month to now, it is only a few days, and it is not at this time, all the ministers nodded in agreement.

Yu Fu said to Bao Taifu again: "The rectification of the Six Departments is also a major matter, but now it is just a beginning, and it has not been cleared up yet. Taifu has high morals and prestige, and I still rely on you to supervise the follow-up matters."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the old minister will definitely do his best."

Bao Taifu surrendered his hands to accept the order, but after all the officials dispersed, he turned back.

"Your Highness, the old minister has something to ask."

Seeing his serious face, Yu Fu couldn't help being surprised, and quickly asked him to sit down and talk, "Don't dare, just ask the Taifu if there is anything you want, Yu Fu will know everything without saying anything."

Taifu Bao hesitated a little, and said in a worried tone: "The old minister just wants to ask His Highness, how do you want to deal with Tian Yunpo after you ascend the throne?"

Only then did Yu Fu realize that he was worried that he would be disadvantageous to Tian Yunpo.

I heard that Mrs. Bao had a very good relationship with the late Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Bao, who dedicated her life and won the hearts of the court. This is also the reason why Tian Yunpo was respected by everyone at such a young age.

Yu Fu straightened his face and said: "Teacher asked this question a bit early. Tian Yunpo has not moved a bit so far. I really don't know what he thinks in his heart. But don't worry, Taifu, if he is really loyal, I will not wrong him Him. If he really has a different heart, then I can't blame me."

Taifu Bao bowed his head and thought for a moment, then said: "The old minister has lived such a long time, and he still has some ability to judge people. Tian Yunpo will never have a different mind. As long as His Highness can clearly observe, the old minister will be fine. Relieved."

He believed in Tian Yunpo's loyalty, just as he believed in Yufu's ability to govern Beili, and also believed that with her wisdom, no loyal courtier would be wronged.

Yu Fu pursed his lips and smiled noncommittally, Taifu Bao slowly stood up from his seat, and Yu Fu personally stepped forward to help him leave the East Palace.

After the ministers left, Yufu walked to the window and stretched for a while, suddenly felt that the East Palace was much quieter.

Gu Shubai and the others have all gone to the barracks, Yin Jiyi should be doing needlework in the room, last time she said she wanted to make a cloak for Gu Jiuge, Yu Fu also joked that she started making winter clothes in summer.

But when she saw the exquisite embroidery on that cloak, she realized that she was laughing wrong. Yin Jiyi just used the longest time to make the best gift.

She suddenly became interested, "Yao Lan, go and get the sewing basket, I haven't embroidered for a long time."

It's been a long time, but she learned embroidery in Immortal Valley, since she left the valley and came to Guhou's Mansion, except for Gu Shubai who embroidered a purse, the rest of the time she didn't take thread or sew.

As for her sewing basket, I don't know which cage it was put into.

Yaolan couldn't find it for a while, so she had to bring Lianzhu's. Lianzhu usually does nothing but help Yufu comb her hair and change her clothes. She likes to do needlework in her free time, and her needlework basket is the most complete.

Lianzhu, Lianbi and others heard that Yufu was going to do needlework, so they rushed to join in the fun, to see what Yufu, who hadn't sewed for a long time, could do.

Yu Fu couldn't help being amused by the crowd watching on a whim, "What are you all doing around me?"

Lian Zhu smiled and said: "This sewing basket belongs to my servant, what kind of needle and thread does Your Highness use? The servant is here so that His Highness can find it."

Lianbi hurriedly said: "The slave girl is worried that His Highness will hurt herself if she doesn't use the needle and thread for a long time, so she is here to protect His Highness!"

There are so many reasons, after all, it's not a joke to watch her.

In front of everyone, Yufu couldn't get off the tiger, so she had to pick up the thread with the needle, and Yao Lan handed over the embroidery stretcher, which was already bound with the plum blossom pattern that Yufu usually likes.

She regained her composure, put the needle point through the embroidered surface and retracted it from the back, and found the right position to retract it from the back. After going back and forth like this, a plum blossom petal was embroidered in a few strokes.

Yao Lan and the others clapped their hands and laughed: "His Highness has taken care of everything during this period of time, and he seems to have the demeanor of a female monarch. The servants are used to seeing His Highness holding brushes and memorials, but suddenly seeing His Highness holding needles and threads, they are really not used to it! Unexpectedly, His Highness The embroidery work is still as good as before, which is really admired by the servants!"

Yu Fu glanced at her, "You can just flatter me. Is this embroiderer a good character? Lianzhu's embroiderer is good. I still like Lianzhu's embroidery the most on the clothes I used to wear."

There was silence outside the hall, and the chatter and laughter of masters and servants in the hall escaped from time to time.

Under the scorching sun, Tian Yunpo came in from outside the East Palace. Seeing that there was no one waiting outside the main hall, he walked in on his own.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the court ladies gathered around, Yu Fu sat on the couch threading needles, his movements were a little jerky, but he quickly became proficient again.

With a gentle smile on her face, she looked up from time to time to chat and laugh with the maid, her eyes were as beautiful as the clear springs in the mountains.

His footsteps suddenly stopped outside the door.

Previously, I only thought that Yufu was young and mature, but after Dongling went through the upheaval in Guhou Mansion, she was very calm and sophisticated. I didn't expect that she also had this girlish and naive side.

The needle picks the jade finger to walk the gold thread, and the crane kisses the silver needle to grow feathers.

This kind of her makes people forget for a moment the majestic and majestic prince in the court, only the joy of her embroidering a beautiful plum blossom, and the slight annoyance of taking a wrong step...

"Okay, this plum blossom is embroidered."

Yu Fu put down her needle and thread, and handed the embroidery stretcher in her hand to Yao Lan, Yao Lan couldn't help praising, "His Highness's craftsmanship is not unfamiliar at all, it's exactly the same as the plum blossoms on the purse embroidered for the eldest son back then!"

Yu Fu gently pinched her cheek, "I don't know if you are praising me for my skill, or belittling me for not making any progress in all these years?"

She smiled, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a figure standing in the sunlight at the entrance of the hall, and she couldn't help but look there.

Tian Yunpo had the feeling of being caught.

Before Yu Fu could speak, he immediately sarcastically said: "Your Highness has the time to govern the court, why don't you govern your East Palace? I walked in from the outside and there was no one there. What should I do if I am a villain?"

Yu Fu didn't blame him for trespassing, but he actually blamed Yu Fu for coming.

Lianzhu, Lianbi and the others hurriedly dispersed, Yufu winked, the two packed up the sewing basket and took it away, only Yaolan remained in the hall to serve.

Yu Fu looked at Tian Yunpo with a half-smile, "Govern the East Palace? Does Mr. Tian want me to continue living in the East Palace?"

After she ascended the throne, she should have moved to the Palace of Longevity, which was the residence of the emperors of all dynasties in Beili, while the East Palace was only the residence of the prince.

Tian Yunpo was startled instead, he didn't expect Yufu to think about it.

He smiled and walked over on his own, "Your Highness was joking, as long as His Highness wants to live in all the palaces in the palace, it is not impossible to live in the main hall."

Yao Lan almost laughed out loud.

This Tianyun Pozui is really bad, and he can actually say that he lives in the main hall of the court, which makes people find it interesting.

Yu Fuzheng was waiting for him to come, but he didn't expect him to come uninvited, which saved her the trouble of inviting him, "Tian Gongzi, please sit down, Yao Lan, go and make some tea."

Tian Yunpo was not polite, and got straight to the point as soon as he sat down, "Did your Highness handle the affairs of the household department in a biased way? The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Your Highness only cleaned up the moths at the bottom and did not clean up the rotten ones." Rotten wood, moths will grow again in the future."

It seems that he is here today to criticize.

Yu Fu smiled faintly, and pushed back four or two times, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and the corruption in the household department has already occurred when Tian Gongzi was in charge of the court. If you say this, is this palace the first to take you out? ?”

There was a threat in her smile, and the pair of sweet pears at the corners of her mouth swirled, making people unable to help but be attracted by her beauty in fear.

She is like a deserted tomb passed by a scholar rushing for an exam. The fox is so beautiful that even knowing the danger, people can't help approaching her.

Tian Yunpo thought of how she washed and changed clothes in front of him that day, and had to make her a concubine by himself, so he slowly regained his composure, and gritted his teeth at Yufu.

He is not a stupid scholar, so he will not be fascinated by the beauty of the fox demon!

"Since Your Highness wants to protect that Xue Bi, I have nothing to say. What is it to let Gu Shubai and others go to General Ouyang's barracks? No matter how much His Highness trusts them, he must understand that they are Dongling people after all!"

Tian Yunpo obviously came prepared, she knew Yu Fu's recent actions like the back of her hand, and she found flaws one by one, and confronted each other.

Yu Fu said: "Master Tian knows how Guhou's mansion came out of Dongling. Emperor Ning and Guhou's mansion have long since torn apart and there is no room for redemption, let alone Gu Shubai is my fiancé-in-law. Why can't you trust it? If Mr. Tian still has doubts, you can speak to General Ouyang."

She shifted the responsibility to Ouyang Qi, who didn't know that Ouyang Qi had been completely subdued by Gu Shubai, and he praised the Gu family's children everywhere as the sons of generals, and it was his father's style to be not inferior.

If Tian Yunpo wanted to find any faults again, Yu Fu suddenly waved his hand to stop him, "Okay, if you came today to find these insignificant faults, you'd better save yourself. I still have a lot of memorials to read. Make it clear."

She changed back to the expression of calm and prestige in the court.

Tian Yunpo didn't open his mouth, just watched her slender hand holding the teacup, and watched her bright red lips blowing the tea leaves, a burst of fragrance wafted in the hall, I don't know if it was the fragrance of tea or the fragrance of her body.

After a long time, he laughed uncontrollably.

Yu Fu was inexplicably laughed at by him, when he raised his head to look at him, he was relaxed on the back of the chair, as if he had never been so relaxed before.

Seeing Yu Fu looking at him, he didn't get up, "Forgive me, Your Highness, I have been in charge of the government in the past two or three years, and it has been a long time since I have been so relaxed."

Yu Fu nodded slightly, she knew the experience of Bao Taifu and others like the palm of her hand, and naturally knew Tian Yunpo better.

She put down the teacup, "In the sixteenth year of Tiande, the old grand master passed away. At that time, the rebellion had not yet been suppressed, and Bao Taifu fell ill again, and the court was scattered. It is difficult for you to come forward as the eldest son of the old grand master." In the end, you personally killed a thief who was instigating people's hearts with your sword, and your position in the court has been established since then."

Tian Yunpo recalled that memory, and smiled weakly, "Actually, before that, I was also a spoiled and vigorous young man in the Grand Master's Mansion. I was good at swordsmanship, but it was my first time to kill someone."

He pursed his lips into a line, "That person is the in-law of the bandit leader of the rebel army. He just said some seditious words, not an actual act of rebellion. He is not guilty of death. But I couldn't help it at the time. I couldn't stop him if I didn't kill him. People's hearts."

According to the news that Yufu got, Tian Yunpo not only killed someone, but also killed someone very neatly, no one would think that it was the first time he killed someone.

Listening to him recall the scene back then, it can be seen that he still has lingering fears in his heart.

Forced by the situation, an imposing eldest son of the grand master's mansion was reduced to the point where he personally killed people with a knife, and was reduced to the point where he could not suppress the court without relying on blood.

His courage and vigor are beyond the reach of an ordinary rich man, and many people in the court respect him highly, not without reason.

Tian Yunpo got up slowly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. I don't intend to usurp the throne. I'm happier than anyone else that Bei Li can be led by a wise monarch. Your Highness, just put your mind on governing the court , don’t be afraid of ministers anymore.”

Yu Fu pressed his hand towards him, motioning him to sit down, "If I say that I have never feared you, would you believe me?"

Tian Yunpo was a little surprised.

Yu Fu continued: "In the Beili Chaotang, the person and everything that I put the most thought into is you. I admit that I was very jealous of you at first, especially your disrespectful letters, which made me suspicious. Is the information I have investigated wrong? But after returning to Beili, you seemed to be provocative and disrespectful everywhere, which made me believe that you are not a person with a different heart. "

People who are really dissatisfied will not show disrespect on the surface. Knowing that most of Beili's courtiers are still loyal, who would be stupid enough to expose their wolfish ambitions

On the contrary, his disrespect made Yufu win the hearts of ministers such as Bao Taifu and Ouyang Qi more quickly, which was beneficial to her but not harmful. She is not a monarch who is so stupid that she can't see her subjects winning the hearts of the people. She has learned from Gu Huaijiang's past, and she knows that only truly loyal ministers can win the hearts of the people.

Tian Yun poked a smile in his eyes, but showed disapproval on his face, "Your Highness, you don't have to praise me. I really don't have any loyalty to Your Highness, and the words in those letters are also true. If Your Highness is an incompetent idiot, why don't you marry me? I came to take charge of Beili's court, at least I know that I can manage Beili well. After His Highness came back, I saw that you didn't look like an idiot, so I gave up my previous thoughts."

He was open-minded, and did not hide his true inner thoughts, Yu Fu did not feel offended, "Naturally, the position of the lord should be taken care of by those who are capable, just like today's Dongling will inevitably have rebellion in the future. I don't blame you for thinking this way, but thank you Put pressure on me so that I can be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Tian Yunpo stood up easily, "Thank you Your Highness for not being surprised. Now that His Highness is in control of the court, I don't need to stay in the court anymore as a grassroots person. I came to bid farewell to Your Highness today. From then on, Bei Li Chaozhong There is no one like me, Tian Yunpo."

After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands, and Chao Yufu bid farewell and saluted.

"Wait a minute—"
