Kun Yuyang and Lin Xuan finally got married, and at the same time, the army to Sangyi was also marching.
The most powerful fleet in the Kyushu Continent, like a gigantic beast born out of the heaven and earth, perched majestically on the sea and roared towards the east.
In the navy trained by Gu Shubai himself, the officers and men stood majestically on the deck, staring at the farther and farther coast of Dazhou.
In the cabin, Ouyang Qi's command was determined, and he was full of confidence in this battle.
Although this navy was not trained by him, since the battle between Sangyi and Bei Lina many years ago, the generals of Dazhou have been ordered to learn the methods of naval warfare. Even the youngest general who knows nothing about the world knows how to defend troops at sea and how to control the sea surface formation.
Ouyang Qi is even more so.
The army moved out, and within three months, a military report reached the capital. The soldiers who delivered the letter held up their arrows and shouted, "Sangyi victory, General Ouyang captured the capital of the Sangyi country!"
Along the way, people's hearts aspired, and the people's blood boiled with enthusiasm, "Win, win, and finally avenge the massacre of the city and people a few years ago!"
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise, God bless me!"
The military report spread all the way into the palace, Yu Fu had heard the news a long time ago, seeing soldiers running from a distance, knelt down and held up the letter box, and hurriedly ordered the general to untie the report and take it for a closer look.
Tian Yunpo, Zhang Jiuque and others were all on the sidelines, and asked curiously, "How is it, Your Majesty?"
Yu Fu said with a smile: "General Ouyang said in his letter that our army is as powerful as a broken bamboo. When we first arrived in Sangyi, we beat the enemy force to the ground. Yi's limited military strength can't stand against our army at all. Now the capital of Sangyi Kingdom has been taken by General Ouyang, and the king and all his clan ministers have also been imprisoned, what do you think?"
Everyone was very happy when they heard the words. They didn't expect to break the Sangyi in just three months. Isn't this just fulfilling the rhetoric of the Sangyi people back then——
They thought they would be able to capture Beili in three months, and then occupy the entire Kyushu continent, but they didn't expect that the bitter fruit would fall on themselves.
This is the so-called evil comes with evil.
Tian Yunpo thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old practice of Beili's capture of Xikun and other small countries in the past, the captured territories should be changed to counties first. Then send officials who are good at governing the place to govern. On the one hand Implementing the national policy of the Great Zhou, on the one hand stabilizes the hearts of the people. As for the original royal family... "
"The original royal family members can no longer follow the old rules."
Zhang Jiuque said: "The original emperor of Xikun, Kun Wushang, was originally to be named a marquis, but he was demoted to a commoner because of his assassination of the prince Kun Junyue. But His Majesty gave him a lot of money and let him open a shop in the capital. It didn't make him suffer. As for the former emperor of Dongling, he was given more preferential treatment. Now he is still a duke, and his eldest daughter is also named princess. Sang Yi is not the same. It is a country of enemies. If we treat it kindly, how can we be worthy of us? The soldiers who died in battle and the people who were slaughtered?"
Zhang Jiuque's words attracted the approval of all the officials, and even Tian Yunpo thought it was reasonable.
It's just that Yufu has always practiced benevolent government. Will she agree with this point of view
All the ministers looked at Shangshou curiously, and Yufu nodded, "What you two Ai Qing said makes sense. Implement the system of prefectures and counties in the Sangyi Kingdom, and send more civil officials who are good at governing the region and generals who are good at fighting. , guarding the place, managing and enlightening. As for the original royal family of Sangyi, there is no need to be polite. The blood of the people and soldiers of Dazhou cannot be shed in vain. If they were not ambitious and intended to invade the Kyushu mainland, such a tragedy would not have happened back then. "
Seeing that Yufu had the same idea as them, all the ministers nodded in agreement.
Xue Rou came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have another idea."
"But it doesn't matter."
Xue Rou cupped her hands, "I think that the territory of Sanyi is too far away from the mainland of Kyushu, and it would be inconvenient to manage it. But there is a natural bridge between Dazhou and Sanyi that can be used."
Yu Fu said: "You mean Gao Li?"
Xue Rou nodded, "I thought that through Goryeo, we could open mutual markets and reciprocity in various places. The tradition of the Sanyi people for thousands of years is to learn our culture from the mainland of Kyushu. Now that we are willing to teach, they will definitely be willing to learn. It is better than they stand still. Do you think that if you learn orthodoxy, you only learn paranoia and violence?"
If we hadn't only learned about paranoia and violence, it wouldn't have happened many years ago that the whole people tightened their belts and attacked the mainland of Kyushu just to supply military supplies.
Yu Fu deeply believed, "Suppression by force will never be as effective as cultural education. The barbaric habits of the Sanyi people really need to be changed. If the Sanyi people are to become a part of the Great Zhou, the Sanyi people and the Great Zhou must be There is no difference between people. No matter how the dynasty changes in the future, I hope that Sangyi and the mainland of Kyushu will be connected together, and there will be no more wars."
She even considered changing the dynasty, so it can be seen that she is all about pretending to be the people and the country. As long as the people don't get killed or injured in the war, she doesn't mind whoever is in charge of this country.
All the ministers admired her heart.
Tian Yunpo smiled, "I suddenly thought of something. In the past, Sangyi was a country of barbarians, so it was called Sangyi. Now that it was captured by General Ouyang and became part of my Great Zhou, it cannot be called 'Yi'."
A new name and a new beginning, just like the Kyushu Continent used to be separated by the Three Kingdoms, and now there is no Beili, Xikun, and Dongling, and there is only one Dazhou.
Yu Fu thought about it too, "What good idea does the Grand Master have?"
Tian Yunpo said: "Why don't you please name him after His Majesty, so that the people of Sangyi will know how much His Majesty values you, and let the people feel at ease."
…
In the end, the original Sangyi Kingdom was named "Fusang" and became the newest county in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with Ji Chengfa, the son of Prince Chu, in charge of affairs.
The mischievous and cynical boy in the past has now become a handsome young man, who has learned the talents of governing the country and the state, which makes Yu Fudu look up to him with admiration.
"In the future, the young phoenix will be as loud as the old phoenix, and the waves behind the Yangtze River will push the waves ahead. I'm afraid you will achieve higher achievements than Uncle Chu."
When Ji Chengfa heard this, he patted his chest, "With Your Majesty's good words, I will work hard and never disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."
Prince Chu stood beside him, and when he heard him being so impolite, he quickly patted the back of his head, "Can't you even learn humility in front of His Majesty? Your Majesty praises you, do you really dare to accept it? As a father, he is already a prince." Your honor, you are more accomplished than your father, do you want to seek to usurp the throne?"
When Prince Chu was in a hurry, he didn't say anything taboo, but fortunately he knew that Yu Fu was not a careless person.
Ji Chengfa thought about it, and said seriously: "Father's words are wrong. If a son's achievements are higher than his father's, does he have to be entrusted with a higher position? The same is the prince, some are just idle princes, and some are benefiting the country and the people... "
"Stinky boy, who do you think is an idle prince? Didn't I do things that benefit the country and the people?"
Prince Chu became angrier when he heard this, and chased and beat Ji Chengfa, making Yufu dumbfounded.
She hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle Wang, Cheng Fa will only come back after half a year or a year. If you are worried in your heart, just say so, why beat him again and pretend not to worry?"
Prince Chu blushed when he was told about the central matter.
Ji Chengfa laughed loudly, "It's okay, I just know it in my heart. Your Majesty, I have gone and taken away more than a dozen capable ministers who governed the region. Is there any deficit here, Your Majesty?"
Seeing his sly appearance, Yu Fu gave him an annoyed look, "There are so many talented people in the imperial examinations every year, why is there a shortage? You can take people with you, and if there is a shortage, come back with a repair book, and I will pick another good person to send to him." help you."
After all, Ji Chengfa was too young, and the land of Fusang was a vast foreign land separated by mountains and seas. Yufu was also a little worried, so he specially selected the best people to take him there.
Prince Chu was listening, and felt a lot more relaxed, and gave Yu Fu a grateful look.
Ji Chengfa shook off the hair that fell on his forehead, and said in high spirits, "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world. Wuwei is on a fork, and children share the towel. Father, Your Majesty, don't give it away, just come here."
After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to the two of them, got on the horse generously, and still bowed his hands on the horse, "Your Majesty, father, take care!"
After finishing speaking, he rode his horse away, followed by a mighty long team, and gradually headed east.
Seeing the vicissitudes of Prince Chu's face, the child has grown up, and he is gradually entering old age from middle age. There is demand for the child in his eyes, and more is concern.
Yu Fu suddenly thought of Hua Chang.
Huashang is the princess of Da Zhou, her eldest daughter, and one day she will go on such a long journey to benefit the people of Da Zhou.
At that time, she will keep her eyes open like Prince Chu, and see that the child is missing, right
Yu Fu couldn't help lowering her head and chuckling, suddenly someone hugged her from behind and dropped the cloak on her shoulders. She knew without looking back that the man was Gu Shubai.
"It's a pity that it's November. If it's a month or two later, I can leave after the New Year."
Yu Fu followed him and walked back slowly, "I thought so too, but Cheng Fa is young and ambitious, he doesn't care about his family, he insists on getting to Fu Sang earlier so that the soldiers there can have a good life Years. It is rare for him to have such good intentions, how can I stop him?"
Gu Shubai couldn't help thinking about them, "Yeah, family and country affairs, you can't be sloppy. Do you still remember our wedding night, when there was a war, we didn't even care about the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and we left the capital overnight with our troops .”
wedding night...
Yu Fu couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling, "Hua Chang is five years old now, but the scene of that night seems to be still in front of me. You must have missed the capital very much when you left that night wearing stars and wearing moons, right? In fact, I miss you even more. Don't leave, even half a day later. It's a pity... "
It's a pity that she is a king, and she can't even have this little bit of selfishness.
Gu Shubai smiled and stroked her hair, her hair was still the same as before, soft and smooth, it was hard to put it down.
"That year when the Sanyi people attacked, you marched with Huashang in your arms. For the sake of Huashang's safety, you cut off your long hair. You want to say that you felt uncomfortable seeing the white hair, so you cut it off. I At that time, I knew it in my heart, and it was really tiring to pretend that it was true in order to fulfill your lie."
He stroked along the tip of her hair, the long hair was like a waterfall, and now it had already grown to the calf, and it was black and soft without any trace of silver.
Everything returned to the way it was before, even her face was still the appearance of a girl.
Yu Fu couldn't help but looked up at him, "Okay, you lied to me. Fortunately, I pretended so hard at the time, but fortunately, Hua Chang was sensible. She didn't know where she heard about what happened back then, but she didn't blame her at all. us."
Gu Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course she can't blame you. You sacrificed so much to protect her back then, why should you be blamed? If you want to blame, blame me. It's because I didn't protect you mother and daughter well."
"Then it's none of your business."
Yu Fu also comforted him, "When you said you were going to give up the child in your womb, you were obviously so sad, but you still reluctantly agreed, and you pretended not to be reluctant to ease my heart. Let me tell you the truth."
Those big watery eyes were full of sincerity, "If it wasn't for you, I really wouldn't have had the courage to give birth to Hua Chang."
Just like now, if he wasn't by his side, she couldn't imagine that one day she would be like Prince Chu, watching her children go on a long journey.
Gu Shubai held her hand silently.
His hands were always warm, while hers was slightly cold even though they were hidden in the sleeves. The two hands were clasped together——
The temperature is just right.
…
After the capture of Sangyi, the call for enshrining Zen in Mount Tai became louder and louder.
Yu Fu is helpless, she is not interested in this kind of self-boasting and eulogizing ceremony, not to mention that it is too wasteful of people and money.
Unexpectedly, the state governments all over the country presented petitions, and the common people signed the petition, requesting Yufu to carry out the ceremony of enshrining Zen on Mount Tai. She had no choice but to follow the people's will.
He also asked several ministers from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry to make a detailed calculation, and finally researched the feasibility of the Taishan Fengchan ceremony.
Xue Judao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, when the matter of enshrining Mount Tai was mentioned in the court last time, the household department to which the minister belongs has played it. Now the treasury has enough money to handle such a grand ceremony."
The Ministry of Rites also said: "There is no problem with the Ministry of Rites. I have already familiarized myself with the etiquette and rules of Taishan Fengchan. Your Majesty will be the first female monarch in history to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai. It is really a great legend through the ages!"
The Ministry of Industry also patted his chest and said that there was no problem, so Yufu had no choice but to agree.
"Taishan Fengzen? What does this mean?"
When the Taixue get out of class was over, several children including Huashang and Yuanzhang gathered together to discuss the hottest issues in the court recently.
Hua Chang propped up her small face with one hand and said: "It doesn't seem to be a good thing. Mother didn't want to go at first, she said that it was a waste of money for the people, and she said that it would be great to have this money go to the people to help the people cultivate farming. Later, the ministers all said to go , father also persuaded mother, and mother reluctantly agreed."
Ouyang Tie Lv also hurriedly said: "My father said that your majesty didn't make an excuse at first because the Fusang was not broken, but now the Fusang has been defeated, and the blood and revenge have been avenged, it is time to worship the heavens. Therefore, your majesty is not willing to waste people and money, nor can you not going!"
Huang Huashou walked in from the outside, just in time to hear the discussion of several children, so he laughed, "The Taishan Fengchan is not a bad thing as you think, on the contrary, it is an extremely good thing!"
The children's attention was immediately attracted by him, Gu Jiaojiao asked suspiciously, "Is it really a good thing?"
"Really."
Huang Huashou smiled, "If it's not a good thing, why do adults want His Majesty to go down? Why do all the people ask for orders to let His Majesty go down?"
Hearing that this made some sense, the children asked him in detail, "Since it's a good thing, why doesn't His Majesty want to go?"
Huang Huashou waited for a long time, and the children finally asked this question. He was so moved that he burst into tears—finally found a chance to flatter His Majesty!
He hurriedly said: "Because it is a good thing to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai, but since ancient times, only kings with extremely high achievements can perform this grand ceremony. Do you think our Majesty has high achievements?"
Before the children had time to answer, Huang Huashou hurriedly continued: "That's naturally high! Unifying Kyushu and ending the chaotic scene of the three kingdoms in the Kyushu mainland for hundreds of years, isn't this called a high achievement? Besides repelling Fusang back then People's attack, and now they have captured Fusang to avenge their blood. This achievement is as high as the sky. Why can't we go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen? Your Majesty is too humble, so you can only ask your subjects to ask for their orders in every possible way before His Majesty is willing to go."
As he spoke, he smacked his lips and praised, "Your Majesty is really a wise king through the ages, and I really admire you, don't you think so?"
When he said this, he always looked at Huashang, as if he really wanted Huashang to relay his words to Yufu.
Mrs. Bao walked in from the outside, just in time to hear Huang Huashou's words. Huang Huashou saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, and it was too late to run away.
Old Madam Bao looked at his chubby back running away in a hurry, like a wolf running like a wolf, and muttered, "Sycophant."
