Hearing that Gu Shubai took the soldiers to Lingnan, the government and the public were shocked.
Mr. Bao was so scared that he fell ill on the spot. Tian Yunpo locked himself in the study for a long time and did not come out. Some in the court were frightened and doubted, and there was no peace for a moment.
Gu Huaijiang's hand shook, and he almost broke a teacup.
"Father… "
Gu Jiuge and others were very worried, but Gu Huaijiang waved his hand, "He must have his reason for doing this."
Speaking of self-care, he got up and walked towards the inner room, his staggering back exposed what he was thinking.
When Yufu heard the news, he just smiled, "Let him go, don't worry about him."
Even ordinary couples have no reason to "let him", especially the Tianjia couples. Yufu's calmness is surprising.
She herself didn't care at all. In her free time, she often went to see the blooming lotus in the imperial lake, and ordered people to collect the dew on the lotus leaf and put it into the small urn for tea in the future.
"Yaolan, do you remember that year, when my father took the elder brother and the second and third brothers to fight at Zhuguan, we collected the petals of the sweet-scented osmanthus in the mansion?"
She was lying on the swaying boat, Yaolan holding the newly picked lotus buds in her hand, and smiled: "Naturally remember. Your Majesty said at the time that he would make sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and wait until they come back to drink. But when they come back... old Emperor Ning died. With so many things happening, how can everyone still have the mood to drink and have fun?"
"Drinking is not always in the mood, but it is common to drink tea. You can drink tea when you are happy, or you can drink tea when you are unhappy."
Yufu squinted her eyes, and a little sunlight shone on her face from the roof of the small boat. She smiled and said, "So this time I learned how to behave."
Yaolan knew what she was referring to, and said: "Yes, the dew on the lotus leaves is the sweetest, but it is best for making tea. Drinking sweetness in summer will nourish the lungs, and drink it in winter without a breath. ."
The small boat walked through the densely packed lotus leaves and lotus, and suddenly reached a cheerful place, Yao Lan's eyes were sharp enough to see a person standing on the shore.
"what."
"What's wrong?"
Yaolan pointed to the outside, "It seems to be Master Tian, I must have come to look for your majesty. Didn't you say that your majesty doesn't want to see him? I found it here!"
Yu Fu said calmly: "Finally, go and pick him up. He has something to say, so it's better not to let him clarify the illness."
Yaolan chuckled, and said that Tian Yunpo had been dried by Yufu for so long, and it seemed that she had indeed lost a lot of weight.
If Yufu doesn't see him again, it's really possible that he will be sick.
She ordered the boatman to park the boat on the shore, got off the boat and asked Tianyun to break it up.
The small boat is long and narrow, the place is not spacious, and the crowd is inevitably crowded, so Yaolan did not go up again.
Yufu was still lying in the same place, not caring about his own image at all, looking relaxed and contented.
On the contrary, Tian Yunpo sat in the corner somewhat restrained, and he felt tacky to mention the troubles of Chaotang in such a beautiful scenery.
While hesitating whether to speak, Yufu suddenly said, "Do you know what will come to mind when I lie here?"
Tianyun was taken aback for a moment, "What?"
Yufu didn't open his eyes, but the corners of his mouth curled up, "Thinking of Lin'an, thinking of West Lake, thinking of my second brother taking me on a boat ride. Thought of inviting the girl to play a song of Spring River Flower Moonlight in my ears, thinking of Brother Five and Liu Brother’s twittering voice was blown far, far away by the wind on the lake."
Tian Yunpo doesn't know why she said this, Gu Jiuge, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi, those people are all in the capital.
The person she missed while lying on the boat was not them, but someone else.
Sure enough, Yufu said again: "That was the first time I visited the West Lake, but I accidentally fell into the water that night. Later, my big brother arrived in time to rescue me from the water, otherwise I might have died."
When he was young, she had a life-saving grace, and she was also like him.
The two lived together, and shared the same wealth and adversity. They have long been inseparable from each other like close relatives.
Tian Yun broke into silence, knowing that what he wanted to say was superfluous, and how reluctant to listen to Yufu last time, she was still the same this time.
Yufu suddenly opened his eyes, "Tianyunpo, I have a question for you."
She didn't call herself me, nor did she call Tianyunpo Taishi, this question was not asked as a monarch.
Tianyun nodded slightly, "But it's okay to say."
"You suspected Gu Shubai's self-respect time and time again, including when you came to me today, I know what you are thinking before you speak. Tell me, is this out of public or selfishness?"
If it is public, it is for Bei Li and righteousness.
If it is selfish, it is for jealousy and jealousy.
Tianyun Broken seemed to be under extreme pressure, and he let out a long sigh, "I said, will your majesty believe it?"
Yu Fu simply shook his head, "Of course not, I have my own judgment."
Not everyone can get her unconditional trust like Gu Shubai.
Tianyun smiled bitterly, "both."
Yufu had to believe this answer.
She raised her eyebrows, the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was shallow, and the green lotus flowers behind her were particularly bright.
Tianyun said: "In the beginning, it was public. The government is not a game. If you want to be invincible, you can't bet. You can't bet the lives of soldiers and people on your majesty's trust in a general. Then, it's selfishness."
He treated each other frankly, without reservation, "Seeing that your Majesty has no doubt about Gu Shubai, he was originally worried about five points, but he became very angry."
There was jealousy in this anger, and he saw it very clearly.
"what about now?"
"now… "
Tianyun smiled and said: "Now I don't know how to say it myself. It is easy to say these four words between public and private. Who can guarantee to do it? Like your Majesty, if the general who is on the expedition is replaced by someone else, for example, General Ouyang, will your Majesty be so resolute in opposing the taking back of the soldier talisman and calling him back to Beijing?"
Yufu was taken aback, she had never thought about this problem.
"Are you doubting my trust in General Ouyang?"
She asked Tian Yunpo, who shook her head, "General Ouyang was not half distracted when Bei Li was in the most chaotic and difficult time. Your Majesty is very clear about this. Your Majesty’s trust in him is different from Gu Shubai’s, but the weight is not the same. Up and down. If it were General Ouyang, Mr. Bao and I would not be so worried."
They know Ouyang Qi, but they don't know Gu Shubai.
Yufu believed in Ouyang Qi, but he didn't know him well.
If it was Ouyang Qi who was in Xikun this time, and Bao Taifu and the others also proposed to withdraw the soldier talisman, Yufu might not have such a strong objection.
She raised her eyebrows, noncommittal, and did not intend to distance himself from him on the issue of Ouyang Qi.
"You said it was out of public heart in the beginning, but I don't believe it."
Tianyun frowned, "Is your Majesty doubting the loyalty of his ministers?"
Yufu said: "I do not doubt your loyalty, but rather your emotions towards Gu Shubai. When the snow and ice last year in the winter, you suddenly proposed to let the army buy military rations from the nearest Lin'an. At that time, I didn't doubt anything. But it happened that a problem with that batch of rations caused the army to almost cut off the food and grass. But the rebel army and Kun Junyue planned to launch an offensive on the night of the food shortage, that is, New Year's Eve."
She took a deep look at Tian Yunpo, "I have never believed that this incident was just a coincidence."
Tian Yunpo suddenly understood. It turned out that Yufu suspected that he was deliberately killing Gu Shubai and deliberately caused the army to cut off food and grass.
His face flushed slightly, "Even if I am hostile to Gu Shubai, I will not be so cruel to Bei Li's soldiers! Does your majesty even know this about the ministers?"
Yufu looked at his eyes, tried to distinguish some emotions in his eyes, but couldn't see the problem.
He is young and has been playing in the court for many years. He has already practiced his proficient acting skills, and he is afraid that he can sing better than Yuguan on the stage.
Yufu asked himself if he couldn't see the true or false, then he said: "I just doubt it, and I have not concluded that it must be you. Otherwise, do you think you can still be this great master?"
Tian Yunpo turned his face away, "Compared with your majesty's trust in Gu Shubai, this kind of suspicion has already made the ministers heartbroken."
"Compared with the distress of the Taishi when he received this suspicion, Gu Shubai's heart is pretty good, and it's really rare."
Tianyun breaks: "..."
She was ridiculing herself and Bao Taifu's suspicion of Gu Shubai.
Tianyun was speechless to answer, they seemed to be caught in an endless loop, and people who should have trusted each other were mixed with suspicion.
If they were just an ordinary relationship, it would be the emperor and the court officials, husband and wife, colleagues... it is the most unquestionable relationship.
He was dissatisfied with Yufu's suspicion of him, how could Gu Shubai be satisfied with their suspicion of himself
He thought about it, but couldn't help but laugh, Yufu laughed out at the same time, and the two laughter made the boatman very puzzled.
Just now he looked like he was arrogant, and he laughed right now, but the point was that he didn't hear anything ridiculous from their words.
The boatman looked at a loss, thought for a while and continued to punt.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand, at least you don't have to worry about hearing something you shouldn't hear and being killed.
After the two met and laughed at each other, the gloom of these days seemed to fade away, and Tian Yunpo's face looked much better, not as bitter and bitter as when he came.
Yufu said, "But there is one thing you have to admit."
"what's up?"
"Without your consent, Mr. Bao wouldn't do such things privately. He is the person who emphasizes etiquette the most. This kind of bohemian behavior, at first glance, comes from your master Tian."
Tianyun smashed his hands and said, "As the court's grandmaster, he has the power to order the Hanlin Academy to formulate decree. As for not telling his majesty, it was because his majesty allowed the minister to recuperate in the mansion and he did not want to see the minister. It was his majesty that did not want to listen. It’s not that the minister made an order without reporting."
He was confident and calm, and Yufu was angry when he saw it.
She snorted coldly, "Thank you Taishi for reminding me. The next time Taishi returns to the mansion to'relieve', I must remember to suspend your job first."
Tianyun said: "There will be no next time."
Yu Fu squinted at him, and Tian Yunpo shook his head earnestly, "There won't be another time, this kind of thing is enough once, no matter how much it hurts feelings."
Yufu opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, Tian Yun said: "The minister is talking about the relationship between the emperor and the minister, not the relationship between men and women, please don't hesitate."
Yufu rolled his eyes.
Tianyun said: "From now on, you and me, the monarchs and ministers will have discussions, and we will have something to say. The ministers will no longer dare to make any decisions behind their majesty, nor will they dare to blend in with their selfishness. Anyway, with your majesty. For the feelings of General Gu, the minister wants to mix it up, but he can't mix it up."
"If the Taishi can really be selfless, he will definitely become a famous generation in the history of the mainland of Kyushu. I have no doubt about this."
She never doubted Tianyunpo's talents from beginning to end.
It's rare for Tianyunpo to hear her praise herself generously once, and suddenly thought that they used to get along with the monarchs and ministers, and Yufu had always respected him.
He was wrong, he shouldn't mix his selfishness into it, instead let Yufu completely wipe out his favor with him.
He smiled and said, "I dare not be famous for the history of history, but I hope to be your majesty eagle dog when you are young and healthy, and when you are old and declining, you will receive your majesty's gift, so that you can return to your hometown and live forever."
Yufu was smiling originally, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Old age and depravity? When did I mind if you were depravity or not?"
Tian Yunpo couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty understands what the minister means. It doesn't matter whether you are old or weak. From then on, the minister will look forward to your Majesty's head, not to mention that there is still one who is single-minded to your Majesty. Zhang Taibao, the minister didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before."
"I don't need you to look forward to everything."
Yufuzheng said: "What I want is a loyal minister, not a loyal servant. Do you know the difference?"
Tianyun didn't even think about it, "The loyal minister takes the people and the community as the responsibility, and the loyal servant takes the master's safety as the responsibility."
Yufu nodded, "I am young and ignorant, and there are many aspects that need you and Mrs. Bao to raise some points. If you are left with me everywhere, what use do I want you to do?"
Tian Yunpo thought to himself, this time they could not help Yufu, but Yufu was still doing its own way.
They have no other way besides she is the only one to look forward to
Yufu seemed to know what he was thinking, so he didn't have a good temper: "But just to mention, after all, I am the monarch and you are the ministers. How can any courtier make the decision behind the king? The dignitaries and kings can be disrespectful, but know that they are respectful and respectful to me in front of outsiders. Do you think he fears Bei Li's national power?"
"No, he did it to give me face. And what about you? You and Bao Taifu are loyal to the country. I never doubt, but sometimes you do those things behind my back. It will only make the courtiers feel that I don't have the right to be the master. Can Tang be stable? Can the people of Bei Li be at ease?"
Tian Yunpo nodded, "Your Majesty changed his blood in the court and sealed Zhang Taibao, the minister, and Bao Taifu. After that, the minister was indeed a little worried, thinking that his Majesty no longer trusts him. But after a few days of thinking, I will understand, Your Majesty. Don't worry, it won't happen again."
He raised his head and looked at Yufu, "As for Mr. Bao, he proposed to resign and report to his old man and return to his hometown."
Yufu's heart squatted, and the thing she worried the most had happened, even worse than she had imagined.
"Does Bao Taifu complain about my actions? Is he dissatisfied with my support for Zhang Taibao, or is he dissatisfied with my connivance to Gu Shubai?"
Or, he is using this method to force himself to obey his decision.
For an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yufu's mind.
Tianyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. Taifu Bao is very old, and he has already reached the age of returning to his hometown. Before, it was because his majesty did not return to the court, so he could not worry about the affairs of the court. Chao Chao was worried that His Majesty was too young to lead the charge, so he dragged the sick body to stay in Chao Zhong to support Your Majesty."
"Although there were two medical immortals Yuehu and Tianshu who diagnosed and treated the Taifu, he was old after all, and no matter how he treated him, he could not be like a young man. He told the minister that he saw that his Majesty can be his own, and he knows how to check and balance the court. He was relieved of the power in China, so he wanted to sue the old man and return to his hometown."
Yufu felt a lot more relaxed when she heard the words, it seemed that she was careless.
"The Taifu's health is not good, you can go out of the palace with me to visit him."
Tianyun nodded and winked at the boatman, who immediately approached the shore knowingly.
When the two came ashore, Yufuyi walked along and said: "But Gu Shubai's army is still rushing to Lingnan, this matter has not been resolved, can the Taifu leave the court with peace of mind?"
Tianyun smiled, "The Taifu said, Your Majesty must have his own decision. Take a 10,000 step back and say, even if Gu Shubai really rebelled, he wouldn't worry about Master Gu Hou being with him."
Yufu: "..."
After all, she and Gu Shubai were not reassuring enough, just like Gu Huaijiang, just relying on the words in the Palace of Longevity made Bao Taifu completely unguarded and completely trusting him, this ability is really convincing.
Yufu sighed, "When will I be able to do this too."
Tianyun thought, "It's about to wait until your majesty is in his fifties and his face is full of folds."
