Chapter 434: Peasant uprising

Views:

Yujia went out of the palace in a microservice, and Gu Shubai and others followed.

In the car, Gu Yi heard that even Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang had sealed the rank four generals. He was amazed but not convinced.

"Four brothers, why are you even an official?"

Gu Yi stunned Gu Xiang, then looked at Yufu pitifully, "Xiao Yufu, you won't forget your poor sixth brother, will you?"

Yufu nodded pretentiously, "Sixth brother, don't worry, I won't forget you. Even if I forget you, I can't forget the third brother!"

Gu Yi patted his chest, "Amitabha, fortunately there is a third brother, otherwise I must be ignored!"

Yufu looked at Gu Hanmo, "The third elder brother was the same as the second elder when he was in Dongling, and now he is still the same as the second elder brother. As for the sixth elder brother is the same as the fifth elder brother, is that good?"

Gu Yi was about to say yes, Gu Hanmo said: "No."

Gu Yi's face suddenly frustrated, Su Yunyan took his arm and motioned him not to speak, "Listen to the third brother, don't interrupt."

Everyone looked at Gu Hanmo, and Gu Hanmo said, "Yufu, I understand your kindness. But neither Dongling nor Beili have a family of relatives and brothers serving in the court. Not to mention you refuse to neglect. We, who are all high-ranking officials, will inevitably be controversial."

Gu Yi thought about it, and then he calmed down.

Gu Shubai looked at Yufu and said, "The third brother is justified. You have given four of us official positions when you first ascended the throne, and you will inevitably have courtiers when you are appointed again. If things are not fair, you can't make the courtiers chill. You say that. is not it?"

Yu Fu sighed, "But you are all cultivated by the generals, and all of you are extraordinary generals, worthy of general positions. If you can't be sealed because you are your biological brothers, wouldn't you be wronged? "

Su Yunyan hurriedly said: "What's the difficulty? Didn't you say that you want to start a martial arts examination? Let the third brother and Gu Yi go to participate in the imperial examination together, then everyone will see their martial arts talents, and they will win the laurel crown by their ability. Wouldn't Jinjue change his name to justify himself?"

Yufu's eyes suddenly brightened, "Yes, this is a good way!"

Gu Hanmo nodded and expressed satisfaction with this. Gu Xiang put his hand on Gu Yi's shoulder and teased: "The third brother is definitely fine, but the sixth brother..."

Gu Yi opened his hand and yelled, "Don't look down on people, I'll show you a champion champion!"

The carriage didn't go far, turned left under Miyagi's roots, and stopped shortly thereafter.

Everyone thought that something had happened, but they heard the outside guard say: "Your Majesty, generals, have arrived."

"Are you here so soon?"

Everyone was surprised, Yufu said: "This is very close to the palace, so you can often enter the palace, and I can often go out of the palace to see you. This is the waist card of the palace forbidden to enter and exit—"

She put the things in Gu Shubai's hands, "With this waistband, you don't need to report the ban on entering and leaving the palace. It will be convenient for you to enter the palace in the future."

Gu Shubai put the waist card into his sleeve, and when everyone got out of the car, it was a tall and majestic mansion.

The vermilion gate pillar is as big as two people hugging each other. The vermilion gate of the same color is embedded with 128 golden round nails, which shows the prominent identity of the owner of the mansion.

On the black gold-rimmed plaque directly above, there is the word "Gu's Mansion".

The brushwork of Gu's calligraphy is very familiar, and it looks like a jade-supporting pen, and the gracefulness of a woman is revealed in the elegance and agility.

Gu Wenqing condensed her eyebrows, and the more she looked, the more she felt...

"This Gu character is written like the characters on the military flag of our Gu family, and it is the same way of wandering the dragon and the phoenix! Yufu, did you write this by yourself?"

Yufu smiled embarrassedly, "I don't imitate well, but I just want to make you feel more cordial."

Gu Shubai walked up from behind her, "Imitated it very well. The Gu character on the Gu Jiajun army flag was written by her father, calm and elegant, and now your characters have a father's taste."

This is a very special compliment for Yufu.

She gladly accepted, and looked at everyone, "This mansion may not be as good as Guhou Mansion, it is better to be closer to Miyagi. I have arranged your respective residences, and you can go in and have a look!"

Yufu personally led Gu Shubai, "Big brother, I will take you to see your yard."

Everyone scattered away to their own yard. Before, they were still unmarried sons in Guhou Mansion and didn't care about where they lived.

Now that as we get older, some of them are already married, so Yufu thoughtfully arranges the courtyard where the people live. Even Gu Xiang and Gu Yi, who have always been accustomed to living together, arranged two adjacent but not together courtyards.

Gu Xiang looked at Gu Yi holding Su Yunyan's hand. The young couple talked and laughed, but they were a little jealous. "From now on, you two will live together. I want to live alone, alas."

Gu Yi smirked, "When will you marry me a sister-in-law, you won't say such things!"

It's better to marry a wife. Although Su Yunyan is stubborn and self-willed, she helps him arrange clothes and outfits every day. With such a dressing, he feels that he is much more handsome than before.

What's more, eating to a pretty girl is more appetizing than to Gu Xiang's face that looks exactly like him!

Gu Yi swaggered to pull Su Yunyan away, and Gu Xiang had to follow his servant to his yard alone.

When he entered the courtyard gate, he found that the interior was spacious and beautifully furnished. Even the vegetation was arranged in a layout he liked. He immediately forgot his jealousy.

Gu Jiuge and Yin Jiying watched in their courtyard hand in hand. There were dozens of peach trees planted in the courtyard, and Bei Li's fine wine was buried under the peach blossoms.

"Taozhiyaoyao burns its flowers, and his son is Guiyishi IKEA. Yufu has a heart. This courtyard can be said to be a blend of what you like and what I like."

Yin Jizheng is also very satisfied, "This is what I imagined to be in the future. You see this kitchen is so big, I can make soup for you by myself in the future, and I don't have to worry about being smoked."

Gu Jiuge encircled her shoulders, holding her slender fingers in one hand and looking carefully, "Such a delicate hand should not touch the sun and spring water with ten fingers. How can I be willing to let you cook by yourself?"

Yin Jiyin nodded shyly, "Since then she has a long skirt and made a soup for you to wash your hands."

Yufu led Gu Shubai towards the middle of the mansion, "I left the main courtyard and the house to the general. I hope that one day he will be willing to come to Beili."

Gu Shubai nodded, "Yes. No matter where his father is, as long as he has not left us, he will always be the patriarch of the Gu family."

Although the upper room in the main courtyard was temporarily empty, as long as they thought that one day Gu Huaijiang would come to Beili to live there, their brothers would have support in their hearts.

He suddenly remembered something, "Can you keep your own yard?"

In the Guhou Mansion, the West Chamber supported by Yu was the best courtyard in the mansion. Although she now lives in the palace as a female monarch, the family should keep her residence.

Yufu smiled mysteriously, "I didn't stay."

Just as Gu Shubai wanted to ask why he didn't stay, he heard a familiar voice yelling at them.

"Major General, here!"

Yan Zheng waited outside the courtyard and couldn't wait a long time ago. Seeing them coming, he waved quickly.

Gu Shubai shook his head and chuckled, "He still can't change his previous address, like a fool, forgetting that Gu Jiajun is no longer ours."

"Who said no?"

Yufu wrinkled his nose, "Always. Every soldier in the Gu Jiajun will remember you. I think in their hearts, you will always be their major general."

"Your Majesty, Major General, what are you talking about?"

Yan Zheng, the impatient, didn't know who he learned from. Seeing them stopped halfway to talk, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them to enter.

His name to Yufu has been changed to be kind.

Gu Shubai smiled and said, "What is so happy that you must rush us in?"

Yan Zheng said: "Go in and you'll know, go in!"

He pushed Gu Shubai towards the courtyard, and he saw a very familiar swing, with a plantain and a begonia standing beside it.

this is not…

Yufu subconsciously walked to the swing and sat down comfortably, "It's been a long time since I've been on the swing. This swing is very well done, and it's exactly the same as the one in the West Wing."

This swing is indeed like the one in the West Wing, but why is it placed in his courtyard

Before Gu Shubai had time to ask why, Yufu patted his side, "Big brother, come and try."

Yan Zheng pursed his lips and snickered, and quietly exited the yard without interrupting his two talking.

Gu Shubai sat next to Yufu, and the swing shook creakingly. Yufu subconsciously raised his toes, and a pair of straight calves dangled.

Gu Shubai looked at the courtyard. In addition to the swing begonia and plantain, there are wooden chairs and wooden tables in the courtyard, which are all arranged according to his courtyard in Guhou Mansion.

In addition, some of the exercises are exactly the same as before.

He suddenly understood Yufu's good intentions. She cleverly integrated everything that belonged to his daughter's house in this yard with all the masculine military and military, and it didn't appear to be abrupt.

This is not just his yard—

They will get married in the future, and there will be half of Yufu here.

No wonder Yufu said that she didn't keep her own yard. Now that I think about it carefully, there is indeed no need for that.

He couldn't help laughing. The curvature of the corners of his mouth made people think of the sweetness of kissing. Yufu looked at him and smiled silly.

The two sat on a swing and dangling leisurely, the years swaying in the light and shadow, and only the sound of the wind was left in their ears.

She nestled on his shoulder and whispered, "Does your elder brother like cranes? Do you like mandarin ducks? There is also a lake in front of this yard, which is about the same size as the former Guhou Mansion. If you like it, you will order some to be placed in the lake. inside."

Gu Shubai immediately understood her thoughts and knew that Yufu had lived in the Immortal Valley for a long time, and he liked these birds and beasts, such as cranes, mandarin ducks, dogs, foxes and even rabbits...

In the past, these animals in the West Chamber were readily available, and people who didn't know would think they were in a fairyland outside the world.

When Yufu left Dongling, he only took Pangwu and Pangjiu. Now they are both being treated very well in the palace, and four or five court ladies and eunuchs wait on them every day.

It was a bit weird to raise cranes in the palace, so Yufu hit Gu's idea.

Gu Shubai was serious, "Well, I like it. Raise it, except for cranes and mandarin ducks, do you want to raise some rabbits?"

When Yufu heard it, he knew that he didn't like him, and he was immediately overwhelmed with joy, "Okay, next time I bring out Fat Five and Fat Nine, they can chase rabbits again!"

When she was talking about being happy, she suddenly saw Yaolan coming in from outside the courtyard with a serious expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, an urgent secret message from Dongling."

Yufu's complexion changed. He took the paperwork in her hand and opened it to take a look. He was surprised and said, "Why so fast?"

Gu Shubai received the secret report, and frowned after reading it, "We have only left for more than a month, and Dongling turned out to be like this. How many people are there in the peasant uprising in the south? Did Ning Emperor deploy troops to suppress it?"

Yao Lan asked three questions and didn’t know, “The spies said that the peasant uprising had responded with one hundred responses, and the number of people was unpredictable. Ning's various actions have long lost the hearts of the people. Although the repression of troops has been deployed, the results have been minimal, I am afraid the rebels will soon Have the upper hand of the imperial army."

"This is impossible."

Gu Shubai asked, "Where is the Gu family army? With the Gu family army, how can a rebellion arise?"

Yaolan glanced at Yufu hesitantly, and then said: "The eldest son, there is no Gu family army anymore. Since everyone in Guhou Mansion left Dongling, even General Yan Huo has left Dongling, so there is nothing left. Gu Jiajun? The original designation has been withdrawn. The Gu Jiajun's establishment has been disrupted and reorganized, and its military strength is not as good as before."

Gu Shubai's face was bleak. As expected, he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard that the Gu Jiajun had been removed.

Yufu squeezed his hand, trying to comfort him.

She suddenly noticed a person on the secret report and asked Yaolan, "Who is the leader of this peasant uprising army? Why didn't she even find out his name?"

Yao Lan said: "This is a preliminary secret report. In order not to delay the incident, the spies did not dare to spend more time investigating, so they sent the news back as soon as possible. However, the name of this leader was carefully inquired, and they really couldn't find out. I heard that. It was an extremely mysterious young man who rescued a group of farmers who had to be beheaded because they were in arrears in taxes, and set off since then."

Yufu frowned, "That's unreasonable! How much tax arrears needs to be settled by murder? Which bastard law is this?!"

Yaolan said helplessly: "Who else? Naturally it is Emperor Ning. Since his Majesty left Dongling, he heard that Emperor Ning has recruited troops and increased taxes in the imperial court, and seemed to have an intention to compete with Beili in military power. Minxi was not rich. After increasing taxes, even the land could not be cultivated. Emperor Ning ordered those who owed taxes to be beheaded to show their example, and the people were miserable and wandering around."

Yu Fudao: "You immediately order someone to continue investigating the peasant uprising, and you must find out who the leader is. As well as the situation of Dongling Chaozhong, you must find out more clearly."

She looked back at Gu Shubai, who immediately understood, "I will accompany you back to the palace."

Yufu nodded, "Immediately summon Tianyunpo, Bao Taifu, Chen Jingxing and others into the palace to discuss the matter together. General Ouyang has taken leave to recover from his injuries, so don't call him."

"Yes."

Yaolan hurriedly sent people to notify the various houses, and Gu Shubai ordered Yan Zheng to stay and explain the situation with Gu Jiuge and others, and then accompanied Yu to help back to the palace.

In the imperial study room, Yufu lived above him and passed the secret edict from Feng Dongling to everyone.

Chen Jingxing thought: "Your Majesty, the Dongling Dynasty has suffered such turmoil, then the good horse and mutual market that we previously agreed to, should we temporarily stop?"

Tian Yunpo laughed sarcastically, "Even if we are ready for a good horse, I'm afraid that it will not be Emperor Ning, but the leader of the peasant uprising army."

Everyone thinks the same way. The East Spirit war will inevitably affect the relations between the two countries, which currently seems to be beneficial to Bei Li but not harmful.

Taifu Bao handed his hand: "Your Majesty, since the people of Dongling are miserable and wandering around, should we open the border city to accommodate the homeless people? Your majesty has great prestige in Dongling, the veteran thought, the people of Dongling see For your majesty's sake, he would be more willing to come to Bei Li."

Gu Shubai also said: "What Bao Taifu said is reasonable. Xikun is sparsely populated and lacks troops. Once they know that the people of Dongling are running around, they will definitely take the opportunity to accommodate them and increase their strength. Rather than make Xikun cheaper, Why don't we take those refugees to Bei Li."

Yufu nodded slightly, "This plan is feasible, but we still need to formulate corresponding policies to attract people to Beili. Then, all the refugees to Beili will be distributed according to their heads, so that they can cultivate for free for three years, and then three years later. To pay taxes."

Mr. Bao, stroking his beard, repeatedly praised: "Okay, this is a good idea! I have a vast area in Beili, and I don’t have to worry about not having any land for these refugees to cultivate. The people have a sense of belonging when they have land, and they will gradually regard Beili as their own. Family."

Gu Shubai added: "If these people can be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations like ordinary Beili people, whether there are no essays or martial arts, it may be able to attract more talents."

At this point, the people in the seat looked at him with admiration, and even Tian Yunpo couldn't help but glance at him.
