Until Yufu went out to and from the village wearing a bamboo hat, the onlookers thought she was Gu Shubai's little wife raised outside.
The news spread like wildfire, and soon spread in the capital. Both the courtiers and the common people were keen to gossip about the Tian family couple.
As a king's husband who dares to raise a young lady outside, this crime is no less than the queen's adultery with a commoner!
I don't know how His Majesty knows how to deal with it.
"How else can I deal with it, can't I kill him?"
Dali Temple took those Jinshi who had a deep collusion with Xue Bi into custody for review. When Zheng Dao came back to report to Yufu with his plea confession, he asked one more question by the way.
During the trial of Xue Bi's corruption and bribery case, Zheng Dao made a lot of contributions as the Minister of Dali Temple. Yufu expressed his appreciation to him, so he dared to talk more in front of Yufu.
He didn't want Yufu to answer him like this, causing him to be confused for a while.
Tangtang was publicly cuckolded, so she wasn't angry at all
Yu Fu glanced at him, pretending to be helpless and said: "You know, he was originally from Dongling. It's normal for a Dongling man to have three wives and four concubines. If he hasn't changed for a while, I will strictly discipline him in the future. ,Do not worry."
discipline
There is a full eight-year age gap between the two of them. In Guhou Mansion, one was the elder brother and the other the younger sister. Who would discipline the other
Zheng Dao was rather annoyed by Yufu, "Since General Gu has become Beili's husband, he should correct those problems brought by Dong Ling. I admire him for his behavior on the battlefield, but if he is not dedicated enough to treat His Majesty, then he will not be careful." Absolutely not!"
Seeing Zheng Dao's expression of seeking justice for his daughter, Yu Fu couldn't help smiling.
When it comes to age and seniority, these ministers in the court are all her elders. These days, many ministers have come to see her or have written a book, and they all expressed that they would punish Gu Shubai to give him a wake-up call—
He must never be allowed to cuckold His Majesty again!
Yu Fu was very moved in his heart.
After Gu Shubai's triumphant return to Beijing, none of these ministers dared to punish him, even for such a serious crime as resisting the decree, because they knew that she and Gu Shubai had a deep relationship and dared not commit Tianwei.
Now they are trying their best to offend Tianwei and seek justice for Yufu, each of them wrote their letters like the elders in her family, with tender feelings.
She said softly: "Okay, after all, this matter is my family matter, and I will handle it properly."
Zheng Dao thought that this was not only a family matter, but also a state matter, but seeing Yu Fu's decisive expression, he still obediently withdrew.
Going out of the imperial study room and bypassing a long corridor, I saw a large group of people talking to Gu Hanmo in front, Zheng Dao couldn't help but stepped forward curiously.
"Master Zheng."
"I have met Mr. Zheng."
Everyone saw Zheng Dao from a distance, and hurriedly saluted him, Zheng Dao stepped forward to meet Gu Hanmo, and then looked at everyone.
It turns out that those Jinshi who committed minor crimes and were forgiven by His Majesty, what are they doing here
"Are you here to thank His Majesty?"
Zheng Dao didn't know the inside story, and only thought of such a possibility.
Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly, "We are not here to thank you, but to apologize."
They condemned Gu Shubai in Shuhui Township that day, intending to sell it to Yufu, but they didn't expect that the so-called little wife of Gu Shubai in the house was Yufu!
They offended Long Yan, although they were not dealt with on the spot, but they were still a little worried when they went back to think about it, so they decided to enter the palace together to plead guilty today, not wanting to be stopped by Gu Hanmo.
Gu Hanmo was also in the house that day. He said that His Majesty didn't care and asked them to go back. They were hesitating whether to go back when they met Zheng Dao.
"Your Majesty has already forgiven you, not to mention that you were also threatened by Xue Bi. I think the commander-in-chief is right, and you don't have to apologize."
Zheng Dao waved his hand nonchalantly, Xin Dao Yufu is not such a stingy person, he is more curious about another thing, "I heard that you met General Gu and his little wife in Shuxiang Township, and you scolded General Gu meal?"
As soon as they heard it, everyone knew that Zheng Daohui had made a mistake, thinking that they were here to plead guilty for Xue Bi's embezzlement and bribery case, but Zheng Dao still asked about something they least wanted to mention.
Everyone showed embarrassment, Gu Hanmo had a weird expression, half a smile but not a smile.
Zheng Dao slapped his thigh with a slap, "Hey, since you have done it, why don't you all arrest that woman? Your Majesty treats you new officials well, and this time Xue Bi's corruption and bribery case is even more lenient. As for you, since you bumped into each other, how can you let General Gu take care of your little lady outside?"
"us… "
And arrested that woman, do you know who that woman is
Everyone was slandering in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say that the woman was Yufu. It would be indecent for His Majesty to go to that dusty place as a queen.
Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, Zheng Dao snorted coldly, "I heard that you knelt down and admitted your mistake to General Gu, you are really useless!"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Gu Hanmo, not worried at all that he would tell his elder brother this.
Zheng Dao said this to his elder brother!
After saying that, he left angrily, leaving behind young officials who were at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Gu Hanmo said: "Have you all heard it? Now that the court officials have heard about it, what can you change if you go to plead guilty? Don't worry, His Majesty will not blame you."
Gu Hanmo repeatedly said that Yufu would not blame them, so these people reluctantly left the palace.
Not long after, Tian Yunpo also came in from outside the palace and headed towards the imperial study room. Gu Hanmo saw him from a distance and didn't go forward, just watched his figure go away.
However, Tian Yunpo saw Gu Shubai outside the imperial study room, he was personally cultivating soil in the courtyard, and transplanted a flower tree, which looked like a plum tree.
"General Gu."
Hearing the sound, Gu Shubai looked back and squinted his eyes, "I thought that the ministers who came to see you today are almost here, I don't want the grand master to come at this time, it's rude."
Talking about being rude, he didn't stop cultivating soil with his hands.
Tian Yunpo glanced at the palace, and came towards Gu Shubai hesitantly, "General Gu's scandalous news spreads all over the capital, do you still have the mood to cultivate soil here?"
Gu Shubai raised his chin in the hall, "I can't help it, Yufu likes plum blossoms. But it's cold in winter, and she's always afraid of the cold. I don't want her to see plum blossoms only in the imperial garden. Originally, I wanted to put plum blossoms in a vase in the hall. It's okay, but after thinking about it, it's not as convenient as planting it in a place within her reach."
His plum blossoms have all been planted in the Imperial Study Room, and they must have been planted in the Palace of Longevity long ago.
Before Tian Yunpo came, he still had some doubts. Seeing his reaction like this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, "So the little lady who appeared in Shuxiang Township, I'm afraid it is Your Majesty?"
Gu Shu raised his eyebrows, not thinking that he was quite smart, so he looked around and lowered his voice, "I know you won't leak it, so I might as well tell you the truth, you guessed it right."
Tian Yunpo frowned, "It's just going to a brothel, it doesn't matter if you expose it, why do you make up such a reason to get out? Do you know that the ministers of the court and the central government are writing letters to punish you?"
He believed that Gu Shubai was not such a person, otherwise he would have written a letter with him.
Gu Shubai glanced at him, the old god was there, "Is the Grand Master not happy with this result? The courtiers want to punish me in order to protect His Majesty's honor, so there is no need to worry that I will overwhelm His Majesty's prestige one day." gone."
Tian Yunpo was stunned for a moment, not thinking that it was because of this.
Gu Shubai's performance all the time has been too perfect, whether it is leading troops to fight, managing military affairs, or even dealing with officials in the court, he has not missed a single bit.
Just because he is too perfect, he cannot avoid suspicion and jealousy.
In order to reduce this kind of fear, he did not hesitate to tarnish his own reputation. It was thanks to him that he could think of such a method!
Tian Yunpo was a little impatient, "You really think that Bei Li is short of you and you can't do it, don't you, you are so bold? Do you know that this seemingly joking sentence may become the handle of your life!"
In the future, whenever he does something wrong, if Fan Yufu gets tired of him and doesn't love him anymore, he may use this to suppress him.
Let him never stand up!
Gu Shubai compacted the soil under the roots of the plum tree, and walked away two steps to look at the whole tree. Seeing that the plum tree was transplanted very successfully, he had time to look up at Tian Yunpo.
"I have a handle to be known by everyone. In the future, I will work hard and dare not make mistakes. The Grand Master doesn't have to worry about my self-respect. Isn't it great? Why do I see the Grand Master not very happy? Is it because Am I worried?"
Tian Yunpo was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red instantly, "Stop being sentimental, who is worrying about you? I wish you would be caught by someone and step down quickly, otherwise how would I have a chance?"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at him and hurried towards the palace.
After walking two steps, he looked back at Gu Shubai, "By the way, I heard that there were two women who were going back and forth to the village that day. One is His Majesty, and the other is who?"
"Who is the other one, can't the Grand Master think of it?"
Gu Shubai asked him back, who else could be the woman who was inseparable with Yufu all day long except Yaolan
Tian Yunpo's face became even more stinky, he glared at Gu Shubai, and then walked towards the palace without looking back.
…
The case of Xue Bi's embezzlement and bribery was finally found out and tried quickly with the efforts of the three parties.
All the affairs of the household department were handed over to Xue Rou, who acted as the acting secretary of the household department. She has moved out of the Xue residence with her own biological mother, and she has become an independent family. What Yufu means is to let her become a regular official after she has made political achievements.
Otherwise, people in the DPRK will inevitably discuss that the case of Xue Bi's embezzlement is so serious, how can the household department be handed over to his own sister
Fortunately, Gu Shubai's scandalous news covered up this matter, and the court ministers didn't even care about Xue Bi's embezzlement and bribery case, and only focused on Yufu and Gu Shubai.
Yu Fu huddled on the couch, wrapped in a thick fox fur blanket, the weather was getting colder every day, and it was almost the end of the new year.
Behind her is a personal meat pad, which is used as a pillow for her, and at the same time, he keeps feeding her orange slices.
The orange petals are carefully selected, the kind with thick flesh and juiciness, and the white tangerine cores on the top must be removed one by one. Yufu doesn't like the bitter taste of tangerine cores.
In the end, there was an orange-yellow crystal-clear pulp left, and he fed it to Yufu's mouth, and Yufu ate it in one gulp.
"Big brother, won't father be angry if you ruin your reputation like this?"
She had the pulp in her mouth, and her words were sobbing a bit vaguely. Gu Shubai picked out the tangerines, and looked at her with a smile, "Father is very happy."
Of course Gu Huaijiang cares about reputation, but what he cares more about is that Gu Shubai is in the position of husband, so he has to be more worried.
Now that he knows how to suppress his reputation and not compete with Yufu, Gu Huaijiang is naturally happy.
After reviewing the incident of Bai Kang's disrespect above, Gu Huaijiang was no longer worried about Yufu. He believed that even if Yufu had Gu Shubai's braid in his hand, he would not use it against him.
That's enough.
Gu Shubai asked: "The courtiers all wrote a letter requesting to punish me, what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do?"
Yu Fu felt amused when he thought of this, "I ordered someone to pretend to be secretly to kill your two little ladies."
Gu Shubai repeated in confusion, "Pretending to be secretly?"
Yu Fusha explained to him in a matter-of-fact manner, "On the surface, they sent people to do things secretly, but in fact they leaked the news on purpose to let people know, and that's considered a deal."
Naturally, it was impossible to deal with Gu Shubai, but she could still deal with two characters who did not exist in the first place.
Gu Shubai bowed his head in silence, thinking of something, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
He did not hesitate to use the method of self-destruction to make Yufu's position more stable and make the courtiers feel more at ease. Isn't Yufu protecting him in this way
As soon as the news spread, the courtiers knew that she had nothing to do with Gu Shubai himself, and then they realized how much she defended Gu Shubai, and even tolerated the most intolerable things for women.
In this way, who would dare to say anything that is not good for their relationship in the future
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year, and Gu Shu Baiyuan was on the battlefield of Dongling during the Chinese New Year last year, and they were not able to celebrate the New Year together.
Everyone is here this year, and even Kun Wushang doesn't plan to go back to Xikun for the New Year. He said that at least there is a sister Kun Yuyang in Beili. The two of them depend on each other, which is better than being alone.
Since he came to the capital to see Yufu for the first time, he really opened a spice shop next to Yushan Building, selling his own balm, powder and other things.
Extracting the necessary elements from the vegetation is a must-learn lesson for the disciples of Immortal Valley. I don't want Kun Wushang to use these pharmaceutical techniques to make incense.
He once joked that he wanted Kun Junyue to do chores for him, but Kun Junyue naturally refused to go because of Kun Junyue's temper. After winter came, I heard that Kun Junyue was ill. The imperial doctor went there and said that it was due to accumulated depression and he died soon.
Yu Fu couldn't help thinking to himself, did Kun Wu's joke about being hurt for a while also meant to save Kun Junyue's life
If Kun Junyue is really willing to get out of that small post house, let go of his reserve as the prince of Xikun, and do whatever he wants, at least he won't stay in the post house and get depressed to the point of terminal illness.
Xikun is dead, what else is there to be obsessed with between the brothers
"The Chinese New Year is an important time. Since Kun Wushang doesn't want to go back to Xikun, it's better to send other ministers who can hold back."
There was heavy snow, and Yufu called the important ministers of the court to the imperial study to discuss the matter. People in the hall could hear the creaking sound of heavy snow breaking dead branches from time to time.
After recalling Yan Zheng and other soldiers, Yufu sent another civil servant who was good at governing the region to Xikun to govern, and so far it seems that the results have been quite good.
Tian Yunpo said: "Chinese New Year is the time when nostalgia is most likely to be aroused, and we should take strict precautions to prevent rebel forces from Xikun Kingdom from taking advantage of it. If you want to send it, you should send someone who is mature and prudent in governing the region. "
Yu Fu nodded slightly, "I think so too, but it's been less than two years since I ascended the throne, and I don't know much about local officials, so I still need to be introduced by you dear ministers. I will give him the honor of an imperial envoy, and then Uncle Chu will give him the honor of being an imperial envoy." Accompanied by the identity of the royal family, we will go to Xikun to sit in the town together."
An imperial envoy, an uncle Wang, such a weight, it can be seen that Yufu attaches great importance to the governance of Xikun.
Zhang Jiuque said: "It is said that it is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. General Gu and his subordinates have completed the steps of conquering the country. Now it is time for us to try to stabilize the people's hearts in Xikun and guard this large territory. Minister I also served as a local official before, I don’t know—”
Yu Fu hurriedly waved his hand, "The Taibao holds an important position in the court, how can he go to Xikun in person? The officials can't do without you. Although it is difficult to guard the country, but now Xikun is a mixture of Dongling refugees and Xikun people, and it is even more difficult for governance. It is beneficial. I thought to myself that I could send an official from Dongling, even if he was from Xikun."
As for those who were born in Dongling, the Gu family would be good candidates, but unfortunately they are all generals and have no civil servants, so it is not easy for them to govern the country.
Kun Yuyang, who was born in Xikun, was the first choice, and he was also the princess of Xikun. Unfortunately, he was also a general who only knew how to fight and didn't know how to govern officials.
Everyone had a difficult time choosing a candidate.
