One month later.
The drastic reforms of the Imperial Forest Army were carried out thoroughly, and the three Imperial Forest Army were grouped into a whole, under the full control of one person.
In the past, all reforms have always gone to the old ones. There are always some new officials who are arbitrary and graceful, and there are always some who have resentments beside the power.
Surprisingly, there is almost no dissatisfaction with this reform that Yufu personally planned.
The first is the generals of the Imperial Forest Army.
Old and wounded soldiers were sent back to live in their hometowns. They used to be loyal and loyal people for the first emperor. As a result, they fell sick and wanted to go back to their hometown 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 silver to them every year in the future, so that they don't have to worry about their future livelihoods. Local officials naturally dare not neglect the court, and these retired veterans will be respected and respected in the future.
Their nephew entered the Imperial Forest Army instead of them and became a glorious soldier of the emperor, and had the opportunity to perform their duties and become famous. They listened to the teachings of their parents, and watched the court pension they received at home, and became more determined to serve the country faithfully.
The Minister of Korea and China was worried at first, worried that the excessive expenditure of this money would cost the treasury in vain, and did not want Yufu to reform with the Imperial Forest Army as the head. In the future, Beili's military will implement the system in this way, and will never let veterans and veterans in their old age. disturbed.
In this sentence, the military commanders of North Korea and China strongly supported, and the hearts and minds of the military camps were unstoppable.
Only then did the courtiers understand Yufu's intentions, and with this little money in exchange for the army's loyalty, this transaction was not a loss at all. At the same time, Gu Hanmo became the commander of all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and was promoted to the second rank.
Those who can make Yufu feel relieved to hand over all the Imperial Forest Army to him can be said to be trusted by the emperor's neighbor, and Gu Hanmo also proved that Yufu's trust is not wrong with his actions.
The new soldiers are all young men. They have long heard of this champion. He soon cultivated a group of cronies headed by Liming in the army, and truly grasped the army guarding the palace. .
Everything is fine in the army, except...
"General, Tianshu Medical Immortal has said many times that Tutu's disease can't be cured. When will you marry her and go home?"
—If Dawn does not let him marry Li Tu and go home every day, then this Yulin Army will be perfect.
Suddenly, the Gu mansion once again stirred up heated discussions in the capital, and the Gu family brothers were all appointed officials and nobles.
It was heard that there were still a few of them who had never been married. The relatives in the capital stepped through the threshold and scrambled to give Gu Hanmo and Gu Xiang to marry Gu Hanmo and Gu Xiang, even Gu Wenqing, who was far away at the border, did not let it go.
Naturally, no one dared to discuss Gu Shubai, who didn't know that he and His Majesty had made a marriage
Gu Shubai, who was far away at the border, also received a letter from the capital, and learned that the imperial court would successively implement the new system in barracks other than the Imperial Forest Army. The soldiers were very happy.
In the past, only those who died on the battlefield could get some meagre pensions. Some soldiers who were injured and sick returned to their hometowns, and even had to endure the illnesses of old age without money.
At that time they would think, it's better to die on the battlefield.
Now that your Majesty is implementing a new system, they are fighting blood on the battlefield, and finally they don't have to worry about the stability of their old age.
"Long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"
Long live the soldiers, and Gu Shubai stood on the wall and watched from a distance. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but cocked.
Along with the Jingzhong Document, Yufu's autograph letter was also sent. Nowadays, she has read more memorials and her handwriting has become more stable. The immaturity in the boudoir was gone, but there were some indistinguishable looks of men and women.
However, when the words were facing him, the youngest daughter's mood remained the same, always asking him whether the border is well, whether he is well, and when he can return to Beijing.
Gu Shubai thought for a while. In the past few months, he has completely subdued the hearts of the soldiers. Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang have also returned from the sea. The straw letter plan they came up with has been very effective.
If there hasn't been much movement on Dongling's side recently, he can take the opportunity to go back to Beijing and come back again.
Thinking like this, suddenly I saw a horse riding swiftly in the border city of Dongling, facing away.
The guard sent an alarm, and the lieutenant general quickly returned to his original position, watching the cavalry from Dongling vigilantly.
I saw the leader holding a long scepter and shouting as he approached the city: "Your Majesty Dongling has a letter of credence, please submit your letter to your Majesty Bei Li, please open the city gate!"
…
"The next official has seen the son!"
The envoys of Dongling entered the city, and when they arrived in the big tent, they still treated each other as the old acquaintance.
Gu Shubai smiled faintly, "This general is the second grade general of Beili, and I have been ordered to guard the frontier today. Please call me a mess."
He didn't deny that he felt his heart when he heard Donglingchao's address, but he couldn't show it at all on his face.
The envoy was a little disappointed, "Yes, Majesty Wu Fa, at the order of my Majesty Dongling, with his imperial scepter and his handwritten letter of credence, I would like to see Majesty Bei Li. Although the general is no longer a Dongling, he still For the sake of being an official in the same dynasty that day, please help your subordinates to meet your Majesty Bei Li in the capital of Bei Li as soon as possible!"
Gu Shubai said: "Why did your envoy come?"
Wu Fa bit his lip slightly, seeming to have something difficult to say, and he flushed, "The rebels in the East Spirit Kingdom are unstoppable. There is no more general available in China! Seeing that the insurgents are about to attack Lin'an, your majesty sent a subordinate to ask Bei Li for help!"
"Help? How to ask for help?"
When Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang heard Dongling's envoy's words, they hurried to the big account and heard the words just now.
Gu Xiang looked at Wu Fa sarcastically, "He was the one who wanted to kill me in the Guhou Mansion, but now he has lost the support of the people and caused the peasant uprising. He also wants us to help him suppress the uprising so that he can continue. Fish and meat people? Don’t forget this lord, my Majesty Bei Li is also the daughter of Guhou Mansion!"
Wu Fa was embarrassed and speechless. Of course, he knew that it was almost impossible to get Bei Li's help, and the court would never send him to Bei Li if there was a way.
Ning Chengzhi is really desperate.
Gu Shu frowned slightly, "The chief you said, who is the king of Pingnan County?"
"The general also knows Ning Tang Shu Ning Xuan."
"What? Ning Xuan is dead?"
Everyone was shocked for a while. Back then, Ning Xuan and Chen Chuxiu had planned to rob the execution grounds, fighting for their lives to save Guhou's family. They had always remembered this kindness.
I don't want to wait for Ning Xuan to die before he pays his gratitude.
He used to be a romantic and dastardly imperial son. After meeting Kun Yuyang, he took up his heart and took a civil position in the court, and he was always considerate.
If it hadn't been for the people from the Guhou Mansion to leave, he wouldn't have been sent to suppress the insurgents, would he
Gu Shubai had a feeling of "I won't kill Boren Boren because of me".
Gu Wenqing hurriedly said, "Where is the old emperor? And Ning Tang's wife?"
Wu Fale used this to evoke the nostalgia of the Gu family brothers, so he said: "After the death of the king of Pingnan County, the old emperor gave up without any stimulation. His wife was pregnant in August and gave birth prematurely, but she gave birth safely. She gave birth to a pair of twins, both males, and the prince also has a queen. His Majesty named the prince as the prince, and he also sealed the one who was born first among the twins who were still in the twins as the eldest son. The throne of the county."
Hearing that Kun Yuyang had left Ning Xuan's blood, Gu Shubai and others were barely comforted.
Wu Fa said again: "It's just that Mrs. She has been depressed after childbirth, suffering from illness, and her body is getting worse. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that she will also go with the princess! That's right—"
He suddenly remembered a piece of news that might make Gu Shubai and the others willing to help him, "Everyone knows who the leader of the rebel army is? It is the Yin Shoufu Yin Shuo who has died a long time ago! It turns out that he had died fraudulently in the first place. , The purpose is to raise troops to rebel! If it weren’t for the letter from King Pingnan to be sent back to the court, we wouldn’t believe such a thing!"
Yin Shuo and Gu Hou Mansion are mortal enemies, and Yin Shuo was also constructed at the beginning, and all the talents in Gu Hou Mansion will be reduced to the point where they will be slashed.
Wu Fa is confident that after speaking this matter, the Gu family brothers will be resentful, and they don't want them to be unresponsive.
They didn't seem to hear what he said behind them, they were just immersed in the sadness of Ning Xuan's death in the battle.
"Princes, the next official said..."
"We heard it and don't have to say it anymore."
Gu Shubai faintly interrupted, "You don't have to spend more time with us. If you decide whether to send troops to help the Dongling court, our majesty has your own decision. The visitor is a guest, and we will send you to the capital. Today is the hour. It's getting late, your envoy will go down to rest and rectify first, and leave tomorrow morning."
Wu Fa felt strange in his heart. 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 think much about it. Gu Shubai promised to send him to Beijing tomorrow morning. He was too happy to have time, so he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Thank you General, thank you General!"
After the soldiers led Wu Fa down, Gu Wenqing said, "Brother, how did you plan?"
Gu Shu Bai thought for a moment, "Naturally, Wu Fa was sent to the capital, so that Yufu and the courtiers could discuss whether to help Dongling send troops. I think Yufu should agree to send troops, but it's not clear what conditions will be offered. NS."
Gu Xiangdao: "Why agree? Ning Chengzhi and Yin Shuo are not good people. The imperial taxation is heavy, and the rebel army is brutal and unkind. It is precisely because of this that the people of Dongling will always go to Beili. Why do you want to help the imperial court? Leading the army to attack and occupy Xia Dongling, so that Yin Shuo and Ning Chengzhi can't walk around!"
Gu Shubai smiled at him, "You are right, but there is one thing you overlooked. Although Yin Shuo is not a good person, he is the right way to lead the peasant uprising. Although this team is overwhelmingly brutal, it is unstoppable. You think it is Yin. Shuo is good to deal with, or Ning Chengzhi's hastily good deal?"
Gu Xiang was taken aback, as if he understood what Gu Shubai said.
Gu Wenqing said: "Big brother meant that we sent troops to suppress the rebels in the name of helping the Dongling court, but we could negotiate terms with the court. For example, let Dongling return to Beili, from a country to a fief. Ning Cheng. Zhi is afraid that Lin'an will be broken by the insurgents. At this time, I am afraid that he will agree to whatever conditions we offer!"
Gu Shubai nodded, "This is just my personal thought. Maybe Yufu and Tianyunpo will have a better idea. This matter is very important. I will write to Yufu about my thoughts tomorrow morning. You bring my letter and escort Wu Fa to the capital."
"US?"
Gu Xiang waved his hand, "Big brother, let's go, we two have no wives and children to worry about, and there is nothing at the border. Big brother hasn't seen Xiaoyu help for a long time, don't you want her? Carefully someone has come in!"
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "Do you think I don't want to go back? But once the matter is settled, it is the time of using soldiers. At this moment, I can't leave the barracks for half a step. It is best for you to escort Wu Fa back. You must be fast. Don't delay the fighter."
What he said was also that Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang did not have the ability to stand alone, and Gu Shubai was indispensable in the barracks.
Gu Wenqing said: "Well, then we will leave tomorrow morning. Brother himself will be careful at the border!"
All the way is dusty, the closer to the capital, the colder the weather.
Wu Fa was a civil servant and was accustomed to Dongling's warm climate. When he encountered the cold wind in Beijing, he couldn't help but sneezes twice.
Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang are okay. They are martial arts practitioners in good health, and they don't want Wu Fa to be ill after a few layers of quilted jackets.
"The capital will be here soon. You came to Bei Li by an order to ask for help. At this time, if the court that fell Dongling will be defeated!"
Gu Xiang worried that he would die in the middle of the road, and from time to time use these words to arouse him, then Wu Fa was a little bloody, and he always refreshed his spirits when he heard these words.
The group arrived in the capital soon, and the two of them did not dare to delay, and directly sent a group of imperial physicians to the palace surrounded by Wu Fa.
In the imperial study room, Yu Fugao sat on the head, and Bao Taifu and Tian Yunpo were also present.
In an emergency, Yufu didn't care about Wu Fa sitting on the wicker chair to reply. After hearing what he said, he waved him down. The breath on Wu Fa's chest loosened and he fell on the wicker chair and fainted.
Yufu said helplessly: "Fing is too good to be cured, don't let him die."
It was the envoy, if he died in Beili, he would say that he was dissatisfied with the water and soil and the cold wind in the autumn, and those who didn't know thought that Beili had abused the messenger.
After Wu Fa was carried out, Gu Wenqing handed Gu Shubai's letter to her, and said it to the ministers of the Imperial Study.
"The eldest brother thinks that your majesty can agree to Emperor Ning's request and take the opportunity to make a request. After all, your majesty knows the methods of this person. Instead of dealing with Yin Shuo in the future, it is better to destroy him and deal with Emperor Ning in the future."
Yufu put down the letter and looked at everyone in the room, "What do you think of Aiqing?"
Tianyun glanced at Bao Taifu, the latter nodded, and stood up first: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that General Gu's plan is feasible. If we can make Emperor Ning a minister to Bei Li without a single soldier, even if it's just Cut off half of the country, and we have taken a step forward in unifying Kyushu. What matters now is how to raise this condition so that Emperor Ning can agree and benefit us the most?"
Yufu said: "Hurry up. According to the envoy, the uprising army is like a broken bamboo, and we must reach a unified opinion with Emperor Ning as soon as possible. However, this Wu Fa fell ill again, and it is more difficult to communicate."
Tianyun stood up and said, "Rong Chen and others will discuss this matter, and I will report to your Majesty for a ruling later."
Yufu nodded, and then called Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang to the back hall alone, and asked them about their affairs at the border. He felt relieved that he knew that everything was safe for Gu Shubai.
Gu Xiangdao: "By the way, there is one thing the eldest brother can say in the letter? Ning Xuan died in battle."
Yufu couldn't help being stunned, "What's the matter?"
Gu Shubai did not tell her.
Only because she was worried that she would be distracted and delayed the major event, she temporarily concealed it, but Gu Xiang felt that this matter should be let Yufu know.
He said it from beginning to end, and then said: "Should we find a way to send someone to inquire about Kun Yuyang's mother and son? Although the youngest son inherited the position of the county king, it is the orphan and the widow who have no one to rely on. Ning Cheng How can Zhi this person know how to be grateful? I'm afraid that I was grateful to Ning Xuan for the death of him in the battle at the beginning, and it didn't take a few days to forget about this matter."
Yufu said, "Naturally, I will send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of their mother and son. If it doesn't work, I will bring them to Bei Li."
Several ministers discussed outside, and the voices of disputes came and went one after another.
This matter is of great importance, so it is natural to be cautious, and Yufu is not sure in his heart, and can't hold back his measure.
The final result of their deliberations is likely to determine the survival of Dongling as a whole country and determine who will be the owner of Dongling in the future.
Just at this time, Yaolan came in from outside the hall to report, "Your Majesty, there is a message from the Yulin Army outside that there is a woman outside the palace who is asking to see your Majesty, claiming to be an envoy from Xikun."
"Xikun also sent envoys?"
Yaolan shook his head, "How come Xikun came to be alone? It's too strange. The third son has already checked, and there will be results in a while. Your Majesty will wait a moment."
