a month later.
The drastic reform of the Imperial Forest Army was thoroughly implemented, and the three Imperial Forest Army were classified as a whole, under the full command of one person.
Historically, all reforms have always replaced the old and reformed. There will always be new officials who are arrogant and glamorous, and there will always be people who lose power and harbor resentment.
Surprisingly, there is almost no dissatisfaction with this reform planned by Yufu himself.
The first is the generals of the Imperial Forest Army.
Elderly, injured and sick soldiers were sent back to their hometowns to live in peace. They used to be devoted to their duty and loyalty to the late emperor, and because of this, they were injured and sick, and they wanted to go back to their hometowns to recuperate.
What's more, Yufu decreed to give them a large amount of severance expenses, in addition to promising to allocate a certain amount of money to them every year in the future, so that they don't have to worry about their future livelihood. With the imperial court's attention, local officials naturally dare not neglect, and these retired veterans will be respected and treated with courtesy in the future.
Their nephews took their place in the Imperial Forest Army and became glorious soldiers of the Son of Heaven. They had the opportunity to be loyal to their duties and become famous. They listened to the teachings of their fathers and saw the court pensions received by their families, and they became more and more determined to serve the country faithfully.
The ministers of the DPRK and China were apprehensive at first, worrying that the excessive expenditure of money would cause the treasury to lose money in vain. They didn't want Yu Fu, but instead led the reform with the Imperial Forest Army. In the future, Beili's army will implement the system in this way, and the veterans will never be allowed to grow old disturbed.
With this remark, the military generals of the DPRK and China strongly supported it, and the hearts of the people in the military camps were unstoppable.
Only then did the courtiers understand Yu Fu's intentions, to use this little money in exchange for the loyalty of the army, this deal is not a loss at all. At the same time, Gu Hanmo became the commander of all the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and was promoted to the second rank.
The person who can make Yufu hand over all the Imperial Forest Army to him can be said to be trusted by the emperor's close ministers, and Gu Hanmo has also proved Yufu's trust with his own actions.
The new soldiers who joined the army were all young lads, and they had heard about this martial arts champion for a long time, and he was full of admiration. He quickly cultivated a group of confidantes in the army, headed by Li Ming, and truly grasped the army guarding Miyagi. .
Everything is fine in the military, except...
"General, Tianshu Medical Immortal has said many times that Tutu's illness can't be cured. When will you marry her back home?"
——If Liming didn't let him marry Li Tu and go home every day, then this Imperial Forest Army would be perfect.
All of a sudden, Gu's family sparked heated discussions again in the capital, and the brothers of the Gu family were appointed officials and nobles, and they were all in the limelight for a while.
It was heard that there were still a few of them who were not married. The relatives and nobles in the capital stepped over the threshold and rushed to propose marriage to Gu Hanmo and Gu Xiang, even Gu Wenqing who was far away at the border.
Of course, no one dared to discuss Gu Shubai, who didn't know that he was engaged to His Majesty
Gu Shubai, who was far away at the border, also received a letter from the capital, and learned that the imperial court would gradually implement the new system in the barracks other than the Imperial Forest Army, and the soldiers were very happy.
In the past, only those who died on the battlefield could receive some meager pensions. Some soldiers who were wounded and sick returned to their hometowns, and even had to suffer from illnesses in their later years without money for medical treatment.
At that time, they would think that it would be better to die on the battlefield.
Now that His Majesty is implementing a new system, they are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, and finally they don't have to worry about their safety in their old age.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
The soldiers shouted long live, Gu Shubai stood on the city wall and watched from a distance, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Along with the Jingzhong documents, there is also Yufu's handwritten letter. Now she has reviewed many memorials, and her handwriting has become more and more stable. The immaturity in the boudoir has faded away, and there is some indistinguishable look between men and women.
However, the youngest daughter's attitude towards him in the words is still the same as before, always asking him if the border is safe, is he safe, and when will he return to Beijing.
Gu Shubai thought about it, he had completely conquered the hearts of the soldiers in the past few months since he came to the border, Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang also came back from the sea, and the straw letter they came up with had a very good effect.
If there is not much movement from Dongling's side recently, he can take the opportunity to go back to Beijing and then come back.
Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly saw a fast horse coming from the border city of Dongling, which was far away.
The sentry sent out an alarm, and the lieutenant quickly returned to their original positions, vigilantly watching the group of cavalry from Dongling.
I saw the leader holding a long scepter and shouting when approaching the city: "His Majesty Dongling has a letter of credence, please submit it to His Majesty Beili, please open the city gate!"
…
"The next official has seen the prince!"
Dongling's envoys entered the city, and when they arrived in the big tent, they still treated each other with old acquaintances.
Gu Shubai smiled faintly, "This general is Beili's second-rank guard general, and he is now ordered to guard the frontier. Please don't mess up your titles."
He didn't deny that he felt touched when he heard Dong Lingchaozhong's address, but he couldn't show it on his face.
The envoy was a little disappointed, "Yes, my officer, Wu Fa, was ordered by His Majesty Dongling to ask to see His Majesty Bei Li with the scepter bestowed by His Majesty and the letter of credence written by himself. Although the general is no longer from Dongling, he still Please see that for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty that day, help the officer to go to the capital of Beili as soon as possible to meet His Majesty Beili!"
Gu Shubai said, "What's the matter with your envoy?"
Wu Fa bit his lips slightly, as if he had something difficult to say, he blushed, "The rebel army in Dongling Kingdom is unstoppable, the chief general Pingnan Jun Wang sent by His Majesty died for the country in order to defend an important city. There are no more generals in the army! Seeing that the rebel army is about to attack Lin'an, His Majesty sent an official to ask Bei Li for help!"
"Help? How to ask for help?"
Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang heard the envoy's words from Dong Ling, hurried to the big tent, and heard the words just now.
Gu Xiang looked at Wu Fa with a sarcasm on his face, "He was the one who wanted to kill me at the beginning of Guhou's mansion, but now he has lost the support of the people because of his stupidity, which led to the peasant uprising, and wants us to help him suppress the uprising so that he can continue Is it common people? My lord, don’t forget that I, His Majesty Bei Li, is also the daughter of the Marquis Gu’s mansion!"
Wu Fa blushed and was speechless, of course he knew that it was almost impossible to ask Bei Li for help, and the imperial court would never send him to Bei Li if there was any way.
Ning Chengzhi was really desperate.
Gu Shubai frowned slightly, "The general you mentioned, who is the king of Pingnan County?"
"The general also knows him, Ning Tang uncle Ning Xuan."
"What? Ning Xuan is dead?"
Everyone was surprised for a moment. Back then, Ning Xuan and Chen Chuxiu planned to rob the execution ground, and they risked their lives to save Gu Hou's family. They always kept this kindness in their hearts.
I don't want to wait until the time to repay the favor, Ning Xuan has already died in battle.
He used to be a flirtatious son of the royal family, but after meeting Kun Yuyang, he settled down to take up a civil post in the court, and he was always considerate in dealing with others.
If the people from Guhou Mansion hadn't left, he wouldn't have been sent to suppress the rebel army, right
Gu Shubai suddenly felt a feeling of "I will not kill Boren, Boren died because of me".
Gu Wenqing hurriedly said: "What about the old emperor? And Uncle Ningtang's wife?"
Wu Fa was happy to use this incident to arouse the nostalgia of the Gu family brothers, so he said in all directions: "After the death of King Pingnan County, the old emperor couldn't bear the stimulation and let go. His wife gave birth prematurely in August, but she was born in peace. A pair of twins were born, both of which were boys, and the king of the county is considered to have a descendant. His majesty proclaimed the king of the county as a prince, and the twins who were still in their infancy were born first as his son, inheriting The throne of the county king."
Hearing that Kun Yuyang had saved Ning Xuan's blood, Gu Shubai and others were barely comforted.
Wu Fa said again: "It's just that Madam has been depressed after giving birth, suffering from illnesses, and her health is getting worse. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she will go with the county king! By the way—"
He suddenly remembered that there was a piece of news that might make Gu Shubai and others willing to help him, "Young masters, do you know who the leader of the rebel army is? It was Yin Shuo, the chief assistant of Yin, who had died long ago! It turned out that he cheated his death back then." , The purpose is to rebel! If the letter from King Pingnan was not sent back to the court, we really can't believe such a thing!"
Yin Shuo and Guhou's Mansion were mortal enemies, and it was Yin Shuo who framed them at the beginning, so everyone in Guhou's Mansion was reduced to the point where they were almost executed.
Wu Fa is confident that after telling this matter, it will definitely arouse the resentment of the Gu family brothers, and he doesn't want them to have no reaction.
They didn't seem to hear what he said later, they were just immersed in the sadness of Ning Xuan's death in battle.
"Young masters, the official said..."
"We heard it, and there is no need to say it."
Gu Shubai interrupted lightly, "You don't need to spend too much time talking with us. It is up to His Majesty to decide whether to send troops to help the Dongling court. You are a guest, and we will send someone to take you to the capital. What time is it today? It's getting late, your envoy will go down to rest and rectify first, and leave early tomorrow morning."
Wu Fa felt strange, the Gu family brothers seemed to have known that the leader of the rebel army was Yin Shuo, how did they know
He didn't have time to think about it, Gu Shubai promised to send him to Beijing early in the morning, he was too happy, he hurriedly bowed his hands, "Thank you, General, thank you, General!"
After the soldiers took Wu Fa down, Gu Wenqing said, "Brother, what are your plans?"
Gu Shubai thought for a moment, "Wu Fa will naturally be sent to the capital, and let Yufu and the courtiers discuss whether to help Dong Ling send troops. I think Yufu should agree to send troops, but it is unknown what conditions he will put forward gone."
Gu Xiangdao: "Why do you agree? Ning Chengzhi and Yin Shuo are not good people. The court taxes are heavy, and the rebel army is cruel and heartless. It is because of this that the people of Dongling keep rushing to Beili. Why do you want to help the court? It is better to directly Lead the army to attack and occupy Dongling, making it hard for Yin Shuo and Ning Chengzhi to walk around!"
Gu Shubai smiled at him, "You are right, but you have overlooked one point. Although Yin Shuo is not a good person, he led the peasant uprising in the right way. Although this team has committed atrocities, it is unstoppable. Do you think it is Yin Shuo Shuo is easier to deal with, or Ning Chengzhi's idiot is easier to deal with?"
Gu Xiang was taken aback for a moment, as if he understood Gu Shubai's words.
Gu Wenqing said: "Brother means that we send troops to suppress the rebel army in the name of helping the Dongling court, but we can negotiate conditions with the court. For example, let Dongling submit to Beili, and change from a country to a fief. Ning Cheng Zhi is afraid that Lin'an will be captured by the rebel army, and at this time, he will agree to any conditions we ask!"
Gu Shubai nodded, "This is just my personal idea. Maybe Yufu and Tian Yunpo will have better ideas. This matter is of great importance. I will write to Yufu about my thoughts, and tomorrow morning You take my letter and escort Wu Fa to the capital."
"us?"
Gu Xiang waved his hand, "Brother, let's go. We don't have a wife and children to worry about, and we have nothing to worry about at the border. Big brother hasn't seen Xiaoyu for a long time, don't you miss her? Be careful, someone sneaked in!"
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "You think I don't want to go back? But once the matter is settled, it's time to use the army. At this moment, I can't leave the barracks for half a step. It is best for you to escort Wu Fa back. Be quick. Don't delay the opportunity."
What he said is also true, Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang still don't have the ability to be alone, Gu Shubai is indispensable in the military camp.
Gu Wenqing said: "Okay, then we will set off early tomorrow morning, and the elder brother will be careful at the border!"
The road was full of wind and dust, and the closer to the capital, the colder the weather.
Wu Fa is a civil servant, used to Dongling's warm climate, he couldn't help sneezing twice when he encountered the cold wind in the capital.
Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang were alright, they were martial arts practitioners with strong bodies, but Wu Fa fell ill after being wrapped in several layers of cotton-padded jackets.
"The capital will arrive soon. You came to Beili for help by order. If Dong Ling falls at this time, the imperial court will undoubtedly be defeated!"
Gu Xiang was worried that he would die on the way, so he used these words to provoke him from time to time, but Wu Fa was a bit bloody, and he always cheered up when he heard these words.
The group arrived in the capital very quickly, and the two dared not delay, so a group of imperial physicians surrounded Wu Fa and sent them to the palace.
In the imperial study room, Yu Fugao sat at the head, Bao Taifu, Tian Yunpo and others were also present.
Because of the emergency, Yu Fu didn't care about Wu Fa sitting on the rattan chair and answering, after hearing what he said, he waved him to go down, Wu Fa's chest was relieved, and he fell down on the rattan chair and passed out.
Yu Fu said helplessly: "Order the imperial physician to treat him well, don't let him die."
After all, if it was an envoy, if he died in the territory of Beili, those who knew it would say that he was not acclimatized to the climate and the cold autumn wind, but those who didn't know would think that Beili abused him as an envoy.
After Wu Fa was carried out, Gu Wenqing handed Gu Shubai's letter to her, and told the ministers in the imperial study room again.
"Brother thinks that His Majesty can agree to Emperor Ning's request, so he took the opportunity to make a request. After all, His Majesty knows Yin Shuo's methods. Instead of dealing with Yin Shuo in the future, it is better to kill him first and deal with the idiot Emperor Ning in the future."
Yu Fu put down the letter, and looked at everyone in the seat, "What do you love dears think?"
Tian Yunpo glanced at Bao Taifu, the latter nodded, got up first and said: "Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that General Gu's plan is feasible. If Emperor Ning can be made a minister to Bei Li without a single soldier, even if it is just Cutting off half of the country, we have taken a step forward in our great cause of unifying Kyushu. The important thing now is how to raise this condition, so that we can get Emperor Ning's consent and maximize our interests?"
Yu Fu said: "Hurry up. According to what the envoy said, the uprising army is like a broken bamboo. We must reach a consensus with Emperor Ning as soon as possible. However, this Wu Fa fell ill again, and communication is even more difficult."
Tian Yunpo stood up and said: "Your Majesty will discuss this matter and report to His Majesty for a ruling later."
Yu Fu nodded, and called Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang to the apse alone, and asked about their affairs at the border, knowing that Gu Shubai was all right, he felt relieved.
Gu Xiangdao: "By the way, there is something that the elder brother said in the letter? Ning Xuan died in battle."
Yu Fu couldn't help being stunned, "What's going on?"
Gu Shubai really didn't tell her.
Maybe it was because she was worried that she would be distracted and delay the important matter, so she temporarily concealed it, but Gu Xiang felt that Yu Fu should know about this matter.
He said it from beginning to end, and then said: "Should we think of a way to send someone to inquire about the situation of Kun Yuyang's mother and son? Although Xiao Shizi inherited the throne of the county king, after all, he is an orphan and widow with no one to rely on. Ning Cheng How can Zhi this person know how to be grateful? I'm afraid that he was grateful for Ning Xuan's death for him at the beginning, and he will forget about it in a few days."
Yu Fu said: "Naturally, I will send someone to find out the whereabouts of their mother and son, and if it doesn't work, I will bring them to Bei Li."
Several ministers were discussing outside, and the voices of disputes kept coming and going.
This matter is of great importance, so it is natural to be cautious, and Yu Fu is not sure in his heart, he can't handle it properly.
The final result of their discussion is likely to determine the survival of Dong Lingyi's entire country and who will be Dong Ling's future master.
Just at this time, Yaolan came in from outside the hall and reported, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Imperial Forest Army outside that there is a woman outside the palace gate asking to see Your Majesty, claiming to be an envoy from Xikun."
"Xikun also sent envoys?"
Yao Lan shook her head, "Why is the envoy from Xikun alone? It's too strange. The third son has already gone to check, and there must be a result in a while. Your Majesty will wait."
