The wedding banquet in Yan's house was held lively for a day, and Kun Yuyang, as a colleague in the army, came to congratulate him.
She got along well with the soldiers in the army, the man in the army was rough, and she had a bloody side in her nature, so she got along very well.
She actually didn't want to participate in things like Kexi Banquet.
Dongling’s old custom believes that widows should avoid happy events so as not to bring bad luck to the new couple. Bei Li does not have such a custom, but Kun Yuyang has it in his heart.
She felt bad for herself.
A girl who has lived in an imperial palace without affection since she was a child, and a princess Xikun who has not been taken seriously, her life's happiness is short and hasty.
She neither wants to bring bad luck to the newlyweds because of herself, nor does she want to see the beaming smiles on the faces of the newlyweds, those dazzling reds, those laughter...
It hurts her all the time.
She only drank a glass of water and wine after entering the door, and then quietly hid in no one's land, trying to avoid the hot wine in front of her.
Along the corridor of the front yard to the back yard, there are green pines and cypresses in the yard, and she unconsciously walked there.
When I got to the tree, I found someone standing there. The color of the clothes blended with the pines and cypresses. The green color was not used and looked very comfortable.
The people under the tree heard footsteps, turned their heads and saw Kun Yuyang, both of them were a little surprised.
It was Lin Xuan.
Kun Yuyang was a little embarrassed for a while. She rejected him in front of a lieutenant soldier a few days ago, which made him lose face. Now she is embarrassed to see each other.
She had forgotten that Lin Xuan is now a general in the army, and he will naturally be fine with Yan Zheng's wedding ceremony.
Kun Yuyang deliberately wanted to avoid it. There were only two of them around, and everyone else was lively in the front yard. Who would run to the quiet place in the backyard in the intersecting courage
Only them.
Lin Xuan spoke first, "Why didn't you come here for a drink in the front yard?"
Kun Yuyang reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you?"
Suddenly fell silent again.
After a while, Lin Xuan smiled slightly, "It's too lively in front, and I'm not used to it, so I just come here to get some breath."
Actually, it was not unaccustomed. He saw that Yan Zheng's mother gave the bride a gold hairpin, which was very similar to the one he had selected for Kun Yuyang, and he couldn't bear to look at it for a while.
Kun Yuyang didn't ask further, only said: "I'm the same."
Hearing these words in Lin Xuan's ears, don't have deep meaning.
She was once married, married to the children of the Dongling imperial family as Princess Xikun, and the scene was magnificent in nature. In order to avenge her husband, she was in an ambush by Yin Shuo for a while, which shows that the husband and wife have a deep relationship.
Want to come to see the scene in front of her, will be touched by the scene, right
Lin Xuan couldn't help thinking of that man, the King of Pingnan County of Dongling, who led the army to suppress the rebels and he did not hesitate to use his own life to stop the advance of the rebels and killed the man on the battlefield.
That must be an extremely good man, and Kun Yu will never forget it.
Lin Xuan couldn't help laughing, Kun Yuyang noticed it very sensitively and looked up at him, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm just thinking, I really can't help myself."
Lin Xuan said, "I thought that I would have the courage to beg you by fighting hard and earning a future. Only now I know how ridiculous I am. With your noble status, how can I be worthy of those I spent a year in exchange for the salary? Where's your jewelry?"
"It has nothing to do with this."
Kun Yuyang turned his face awkwardly, "Do you think I reject you because I dislike the poor and love the rich?"
Lin Xuan shook his head, "No. I am not good enough, not as good as the person in your heart."
Even if that person is dead, the mark he left in Kun Yuyang's heart will never be erased.
"No, you are fine."
Kun Yuyang's tone eased a lot, trying not to hurt Lin Xuan, "You have a strong martial arts, a good character, and you saved my life. From an insignificant soldier to a general, you only spent a few months. Time. This is an almost impossible achievement for other soldiers in the army, so you must not belittle yourself."
Lin Xuan reluctantly smiled and said: "That's because I saved your life. Your status is precious, so I can be promoted to a general because I have made great contributions to saving you."
After all, it's because of her, he doesn't excel in himself.
Kun Yuyang was a little anxious, "Don't you understand what I said to you? You made military merits and became a participating general, and it has nothing to do with me. You are good, it is not because you are not good to reject you, but I have already There is someone. He has already taken root in my heart. Even if I give me another deity, I won’t change it!"
After all, it was for Ning Xuan, and from beginning to end, it was because of Lin Xuan.
Kun Yuyang is a free and easy woman, no matter what background, wealth, status, or even children, she always cares about the dead soul in her heart.
Lin Xuan's complexion was suddenly extremely difficult to look.
He was a little envious of Ning Xuan's death. The image of a dead person in the heart of a living person will not gradually fade away, but will also endure forever because of death.
In Kun Yuyang's heart, he is always young, handsome, and heroic. He treats her like a pearl and jade in his palm. He is a perfect man and a perfect husband.
—He can never compare.
Kun Yuyang said softly and comforted: "I know your intentions, thank you for taking care of me. But I have decided to be a widow for him for the rest of my life and no longer marry. I can take care of two children by myself, even if I am out on the battlefield. Nothing can take care of them, your majesty, this stepmother, will also help me take care of them."
"What about yourself?"
Lin Xuan took a step closer to her, "You just want to be taken care of by your child, so who will take care of yourself?"
Kun Yuyang took a deep breath, stuck his neck, and raised his chin in a sharp arc, "I don't need someone to take care of me."
It was a real beating to say this from her mouth.
She probably didn't know how beautiful she was. She didn't know that although she was wearing a uniform like a man, her waist posture was so beautiful.
She didn't know how lovely she was when she shed tears, and how she wanted to protect her.
She was still so young, but wanted to turn herself into a dead tree.
He said: "There is no woman who does not need someone to take care of."
He eagerly wanted to protect her, but made her wrong, "Really? Maybe you haven't seen it before, and you will see it in the future."
She strode away, leaving him with a back that could not be grasped...
Beili is a scene of prosperity and peace. It is said that this year there are very many young men and women getting married in Beijing.
It is said that the mountains and rivers have not yet decided why they are home. The people in the capital have the same tacit understanding in their hearts when they see that there are teams to welcome relatives almost every day.
The country is peaceful, and the people are in peace.
"Sometimes I feel that the country is too peaceful and not good."
Yufu put down the memorial in the Yushufang and said sarcastically.
The ministers looked at her in a puzzled manner, Yufu covered the memorial with his hands, and knocked on the top with his fingers. The jinshi from the DPRK recommend higher positions. It is said that a sixth-rank official position costs fifty thousand taels of silver."
After she said, she chuckled, "It is a good thing that the treasury has sufficient silver and grain, but there are more grains and more moths."
This Xue Bi is no stranger to everyone, and he is also a veteran of the imperial court.
It is not news that he embezzled the national silk, but this matter was resolved as early as the beginning of Yufu's ascension to the throne. She mercifully and lightly spared Xue Bi. Xue Bi was grateful to her, and since then he has worked hard and never dared to do anything wrong.
Unexpectedly, the so-called change of mind was just a change from the corruption on the surface to the secret. He did not dare to attack the treasury, so he attacked the jinshis of the past year and the new ministers in the imperial court.
Yufu's reuse of these newcomers is a matter known to the government and the public, and the criteria for reuse only depends on ability and character.
It is inevitable that some scholars with rich family backgrounds but weaker talents will inevitably give birth to crooked minds, wanting to gain a place in the DPRK by relying on family financial resources, which has contributed to the arrogance of Xue Bizhi and his ilk.
Tianyun said: "This His Majesty Xue Bi should be dealt with at the beginning of his ascension, but the court was not stable at the time. His Majesty hoped that he would stay and continue to preside over the work of the household department. Heavy punishments to curb your time."
Yufu said: "It is natural to be punished heavily. He squandered my affection for him, corrupted and accepted bribes, and infected my most valued rookie in the officialdom. This is the most annoying thing for me. . It’s just that this matter is far more than just dealing with a Xue Bi.”
She said and looked at Zhang Jiuque.
Zhang Jiuque, as an official secretary and one of the three official Taibao, has a different status from the past, but his cautious attitude in front of Yufu has not changed in the slightest.
As soon as Yufu looked at him, he quickly gave up his hand, "Xue Bi embezzled and accepted bribes to provide position transfers for newly promoted officials in the DPRK and China, and the transfers are under the jurisdiction of our staff, and if you want to come to our staff, you can’t escape. Ministers. Although I don't know who it is, since it is the affairs of the officials, the ministers have no shirk!"
Yufu nodded and looked a lot better. "The Taibao doesn't have to blame yourself too much. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that you are in charge of the staff. It is safest for you to investigate who the staff is in collusion with Xue Bi. "
Fortunately, His Majesty did not doubt him.
Zhang Jiuque breathed a sigh of relief, his back straightened, "Yes, I will do it as soon as the minister returns!"
"What about Xue Bi and the servants of the household department?"
The minister immediately thought of this, and it was a headache.
A Shangshu and several servants, this means that the entire household department is involved in corruption and bribery. It is easy to catch them all. Who will do the household affairs
The Ministry of War is the most important of the six during wars, and the Husband is the most important when it is stable. Once the household affairs are in chaos, it will be harmful to Beili Chaotang and even the whole country.
Yufu said: "If my court is really a court of loyal ministers, there won't be only a moth in the Huhu, do you say so? If this is the case, I don't believe that the Huhu can't find an innocent person. This matter is handed over to the Dali Temple for review, and will be mercilessly detaining Xue Bi and his gangs who have solid evidence. As for those with insufficient evidence and their innocence, we have other actions."
The ministers looked at each other and found that a corruption case involving the Ministry of Households has now been involved in the two important imperial institutions, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, and I don't know what the outcome of the review by the Dali Temple will be.
If it is really found that there is no innocent person in the household department, I am afraid that your majesty will doubt even the other ministries, right
If that is the case, Xue Bi is an eternal sinner who has disturbed the court.
After the ministers retired, only Gu Shubai stayed.
Bei Li's predecessor Great Zhou Dynasty, like other countries in the history of the Central Plains, had a system where the harem was not allowed to participate in politics. It was completely abolished since the Queen of Shengwen, Shen Fenglan.
Gu Shubai is a military commander in the DPRK first, and then her royal husband. Naturally, there is no need to shy away from government affairs.
In fact, Yufu has always shared his government affairs as an emperor with him, and often consulted with him to benefit each other.
It's the same this time.
"What do you think about Xue Bi?"
Gu Shubai said: "Perhaps as you said, since Dongling and Xikun won the continuous battle, the situation in the DPRK has been so smooth that some people have become ill-intentioned again. It is not difficult to deal with Xue Bi, it is just his men. Those of you can't be sloppily punished severely or lightly."
Yufu said: "If I only punish them lightly, others will only feel that I am more unable to subdue the corruption of the household department. I told him when I forgave Xue Bi before, if I dare to commit a crime again in the future, I will never forgive it lightly. It's time for me to fulfill my promises. What's more, the current Bei Li Zheng is harmonious, and I don't need me to be timid to maintain stability in the middle of the country."
Gu Shu Bai nodded, "You are justified. Severely punishing the corrupt officials of the Ministry of Households is also regarded as killing chickens and threatening monkeys, so that the officials of the DPRK and the central government will not dare to make such mistakes again. The most important thing is to find a suitable head for the Ministry of Households. Can someone choose?"
Xue Bi sat in the position of Shangshu in the household department for too long, and the whole household department was under his control.
Yufu had a few suitable candidates in his heart. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "After the imperial examination, I paid attention to arranging some newcomers to enter. They did a good job, but I don’t know if I followed Xue Bi to embezzle and accept bribes this time. Among the few servants, there are one or two talents who can replace Xue Bi. I am afraid of character..."
If they are also involved in this corruption and bribery case, they will be useless.
Gu Shubai suddenly said: "There is one more important thing, we almost ignored it."
"what's up?"
"We must let those newly promoted courtiers through the imperial examination last year know that the official position obtained by bribery is not long-lasting without their own true ability. Those who have obtained a good position by bribing Xue Bi should also be punished accordingly. "
Yufu thought for a moment and said: "You are right, but in this way, the scope of involvement is even greater."
Although the newly promoted officials do not have deep qualifications in the DPRK and China, most of the positions they hold are not high, but the victory lies in the large number of them. Almost all organizations in the DPRK and China have them.
Gu Shubai said: "The martial arts scholars are not worried, the person in charge of the military department is still safe, and Xue Bi's hands can't be inserted into the army no matter how much he wants to come, mainly because of those people in the Wenju."
Yufu took a deep breath, "I can't take care of it. Even if it is involved, it must be uprooted. This kind of corruption and bribery must not be indulged in the slightest! After I became the throne, not only did I comprehensively improve the treatment of military lieutenants, but also to the ministers of the DPRK and China. Even more so, now their salary is exactly twice as high as when the first emperor was in power. The salary of an ordinary rank 6 or 7 official can at least support a family of more than ten people. I have done my best, how dare they?"
Her attitude is very decisive, Bei Li is well-connected, and the Kyushu Continent is stable and smooth. This is her decisive confidence.
Gu Shubai smiled, "Since you have decided, I will cooperate with all my strength. The third brother and Liming are both jinshis in the imperial examination last year, and I also know many people. Let us investigate this matter, and we will definitely give it to you soon. You result."
Yufu's little face bulged, suddenly changed his expression, and fell into his arms like a kitten, "How do you know that I was asking you about it?"
Dali Temple was busy investigating the household department before it was too late, and Zhang Jiuque presided over the official department is only barely reluctant, after all, investigation is not his strong point. We need to conduct a large-scale investigation of those who are new to jinshi, and there is no competent manpower for the time being.
Only Gu Shubai, no matter what is left to him, Yufu can rest assured.
Gu Shubai ridiculed: "Now there is no war. It is not good for me as a military commander to eat leisurely in the court. In order not to let people say that I am the little white face raised by Your Majesty, I naturally have to take the initiative to find something to do."
He worked tirelessly and didn't let Yufu be grateful. He only said that he was looking for something to do to protect his reputation.
Yufu was very clear in his heart.
He has made great achievements in several battles, and now his reputation in the DPRK is not inferior to that of General Ouyang. Who dares to question him as a little boy
She couldn't help being playful, and kissed him on the face, "Why are you so good? You can let all men live?"
