v2.Chapter 370

In late December, the emperor drove back to Beijing.

Going back just in time for the Chinese new year, the victory of the war, the whole country celebrates. All the way, the Royal drivers were cheering.

All the sangyi officers surrendered. Except for a left minister who killed himself, the rest of them had lost their pride and cooperated with the Northern Glass army to count the prisoners and supplies.

Gu Shubai stayed in Taicheng to take charge of the final affairs after the war. Although the war ended in victory, there were heavy casualties in the process. It is impossible for no general to be responsible for the scene.

Gu Xiang and Gu Wenqing left to help him, while Gu huaijiang and others returned to Beijing with the imperial driver. Gu Yi has been thinking about Su Yun's baby for a long time, and he doesn't know how old the baby has grown since he was away in recent months.

"The left minister is still very angry, but there are few other officials besides him who are not tough at all. Not only did they take the initiative to disclose their military secrets in an all-out way, but they also scrambled to commit crimes. "

Gu Wenqing came out of the camp, dusted himself, and told Gu Shubai about Yiying's capture.

Gu Shubai nodded his head and said, "have you seen the corpse of the left Minister?"

"See, the cross cut knife cuts like a squid."

Gu Wenqing could not help shaking his head. "It seems that we wronged the sangyi people before. They slaughtered the craftsmen and officials of the Ministry of work with this kind of knife. It turns out that they are cruel not only to others, but also to themselves. Only what kind of national culture can cultivate ministers who will commit suicide if they are defeated? "

Gu Shubai smiles and shakes his head helplessly. "Although the things of sangyi people are all learned from the mainland of Kyushu, the flowers on the same tree are not the same, let alone sangyi and Beili?"

Gu Xiang braved the wind and snow to come in from outside the tent, smiling and patting the snow on his body. Gu Wenqing was surprised and said, "I didn't have snow when I came here."

Gu Xiang's face was full of teeth with a smile. "Just now, it's still very big! I want to help them get to the capital. The snow won't affect their journey at this time. "

With a faint smile, Gu Xiang suddenly sighed, "it's just a pity that our family will not be together again this new year. What kind of strange thing do you think it is? Every year, something will happen to separate our family during the Spring Festival. It was only last year that we were reunited! "

Gu Wenqing said, "we're just two. We're lonely. It's a pity that big brother can't spend the Spring Festival with Yu Fu this year, and he has to separate the two places. "

Gu Shubai stood up from the back of the case and walked out of the tent. The snow fell all over the sky. In a short time, the ground was covered with a thin layer of white.

He can't help but sigh, "it's snowing. It's bloody all over the ground. It needs to be washed by a heavy snow."

Speaking of this, Gu Wenqing and his wife couldn't help sighing, "who said no? After the last war, I heard that the fishermen in Korea still dare not go out to sea to catch fish, for fear that they will salvage the broken limbs. It's our fishermen who often go out to sea in such cold weather. They say that if we can salvage some of our soldiers' bodies and send them to the earth for safety. "

Gu Xiang said: "we will send back the bodies of these prisoners and soldiers who died in the war. The rest is to assist local officials in reconstruction and provide for the victims after the war. After all, these things are not within our general's ability, so we have to do our best. "

In this way, the army will be able to return to Beijing in about a month.

Gu Shubai said in a deep voice: "the war is over, and our mission as a general has been completed. Then there are a series of problems that the imperial court has to face, such as the empty Treasury, the shortage of silver and food, how to provide for the families of the soldiers who died in the war, and how to rebuild their homes for the common people. "

Thinking of these, he was so tired for Yu Fu that he wanted to go back to Beijing earlier to help her.

Gu Xiang suddenly had a cold war. He thought that Gu Yi often cried cold when he was here. If he was still here now, it would be strange that he would go straight to the bed.

Gu Shubai said with a smile: "it's not fast to go to the tent. It's chilly carefully. Tianshu has already followed the imperial driver back."

Afraid of patting him on the shoulder, Gu Xiang walks to the tent honestly. Gu Shubai and Gu Shubai stand in the snow to discuss the next arrangement

"Your Majesty, do you know what I miss most about the palace?"

In Beijing, Yao Lan's face is full of nostalgia and happiness as soon as she returns to Changsheng hall. She holds fat five in one hand and fat nine in the other. She tries to put her nose on their white fur.

Take a deep breath. It's sweet.

Her heart suddenly imbalance, patted a fat nine buttocks, "you are just a dog and a fox, stay in the palace to eat spicy, but I have been hungry and frozen for so long by the sea, is this fair? I smell of rose petals. Don't you know I smell of fish? "

The more he said, the more unbalanced he was. He patted two buttocks and drove them to play outside the hall.

Two meatball like happy white shadows rolled out of the hall and frolicked in the same place. When they rolled into the snow, they could no longer tell who was who. The palace people on duty under the corridor looked at them and couldn't help laughing.

Yu Fu leaned on the couch and looked at the fold. When she heard her words, she said with a smile: "if you say that, I don't know whether you miss the food in the palace, the warm stove in the palace, or Rose petals for bathingYao LAN sniffed his sleeve and said, "I've washed it many times, but I still feel fishy. I have to wash it again, so as not to smoke your majesty!"

After that, she ran out of the hall and ran into something, which made her nose ache.

"Oh, who doesn't look at the road when walking?"

The villain complained first. Tianyunpo, who had been hit by her, just came in from the snow. She was standing under the porch and dusting the snow off her cloak. She was hit but didn't respond. She was scolded for no reason.

He pointed to his nose and said in surprise, "be reasonable. It's clear that you didn't see the way and hit me, right? Do you still want to catch a thief? "

That's right. It's Yao Lan's nature to shout and catch thieves.

If someone else falls, it can be seen that it's tianyunpo. Yaolan is not afraid at all. "This is Changsheng hall. I'm the one in Changsheng hall. The thief is definitely not me, hum."

After that, he ran away, leaving tianyunpo standing in the original place.

When he stepped into the hall, he saw Yufu quickly complain, "the palace people around your majesty are more and more unruly."

Yu Fu had heard their dispute in the hall. He said with a smile, "yes, I can't do anything about it. Why don't you send it to the grand master's palace to do it for me?"

The speaker didn't want to listen, and the listener wanted to. Tianyun broke his imagination. Yufu looked up at him and said, "why, do you really want my servant?"

"No, No."

Tian Yun broke his mouth and coughed. Then he said, "the shipbuilding workshop of the Ministry of industry has made a great contribution to the building of a huge ship. I see that the old minister of the Ministry of work is not strong enough. I think it's better to give them a few days off and let them have a good rest. Now I can't use the Ministry of work. "

Yu Fufang waved his hand. I originally meant this, but there are too many things left out. Thank you for thinking about it. By the way, what's the progress of the Ministry of household and the Ministry of war's pension for the families of the soldiers who died in the battle? "

"Seven out of ten. What's left are only people whose identities are difficult to identify for the time being. Besides, a large part of the soldiers who died in this battle were refugees who originally came from Dongling. Either they were separated from their families, or their families had been slaughtered by the rebels of that year, and no one could give them any money for their pension. "

Yu Fu nodded, "let me think about this problem and talk about it tomorrow morning."

……

In the morning of the next day, the snow was all over the sky outside the golden hall, and the smoke stove in the hall was warm.

Yufugao sat on the top and came from Changsheng hall in a sedan chair. On the contrary, he didn't adapt to the warmth of the hall and simply took off his cloak.

She arranged today's political affairs one by one on the imperial case and picked up the memorial at the top. "Yesterday, the Grand Master said that some unidentified officers and soldiers, as well as those who had lost their families, could not give out the imperial court's pension. I think about it. The cemetery built in the outskirts of Beijing was originally used by the soldiers who died in the battle. Those soldiers who can't find their families can be buried here, and the money for their pension will be used in the national treasury. "

The Minister of the Ministry of war said, "Your Majesty, if you find these people's families again?"

Yu Fu said: "naturally, the money should be given to them. If their families want to bury their bodies, they can stay in the cemetery if they don't want to. By the way, on the first day of this year, I have sacrificed my family temple and ancestors. I hope that all my ministers will join me in the mausoleum to pay homage to these dead soldiers. Without them, there would be no present peace. "

Naturally, all the ministers could not refuse. As a monarch, she had to go in person, not to mention the ministers?

The Minister of rites said, "Your Majesty, speaking of this, there are only five days left before New Year's Eve. This year's Palace Banquet on New Year's Eve, I don't know... "

Yu Fu said: "the Treasury is empty, not to mention the death and injury of so many soldiers. It is the time when the whole country mourns together. This year, not only the palace banquet on New Year's Eve should be simplified, but also the layout of the palace and the streets of the capital should be simplified. There's no need to set off the fireworks. It sounds like a cannon. "

When this remark came out, all the ministers could not help sighing.

The Minister of rites said, "yes, I'll order you to go down and do everything according to your Majesty's will."

When he retired, Xue Rou, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, stood up again. "Your Majesty, spring will soon begin after the new year. I don't know what your Majesty's decision is on the tax collection in the new year."

Yu Fu then remembered that the quickest way to solve the problem of Treasury vacancy is to make an issue on taxes.

It is no wonder that Xue Rou raised this question.

She said: "in the previous wars against Xikun and Dongling, the National Treasury was full, and there was no adjustment to taxes. But the war with sangyi has shaken the foundation of our country. What do you think of taxes? "

A stone stirred up a thousand waves. As soon as her voice fell, she immediately began to argue.

"My Lord, I think that your majesty has always loved the people like a son. Increasing taxes on the people is not beneficial to the people's livelihood. It is better to keep normal."

"Mr. Liu, that's not true! If the Treasury is empty, the country will be uneasy, and if the country is uneasy, the people will be uneasy. If the taxes are not increased, how can this vacancy be filled? "

"Since ancient times, only tyrants have imposed heavy taxes. Your majesty is a wise king. Can you do this?"

Yu Fu rubbed his ears, stood up on the edge of the imperial case, and walked slowly with his other hand on his waist.

There was a sudden silence below.

Yu Fu raised his head and saw that the ministers were no longer discussing. He just stared at her and said, "I'm listening. You Aiqing, go on. I just think it's OK to get up and walk around. "What surprised all the ministers was not that she got up and walked around, but that she came out from the back of the imperial case. Her bulging abdomen had clear lines and was clearly six or seven months pregnant.

This How is that possible?

Before the Royal expedition, the child was abandoned by her?

After autumn, she has always been heavily dressed. Today, the charcoal fire in the hall is warm, and many people find this problem.

Even Tian yunpo looked at her in surprise. "Your Majesty, is the Dragon fetus still there?"

Yu Fu thinks about taxes while walking around. After hearing Tian yunpo's words, she comes to realize that the officials are surprised by her fetus.

She stroked her upper abdomen with one hand and nodded gently, "I was in poor health before I went out. I was going to give up. But later, I thought about it. I'll wait until I can't support myself. I don't want to be able to survive after I go to Taicheng. This child is probably gifted. Since he can keep himself, I don't want to abandon him any more. "

All the ministers were overjoyed and forgot all about taxes. Nothing is more exciting than the Dragon fetus.

She walked around the imperial case, and then looked at the minister at the bottom. She was very happy and said, "OK, continue to talk about taxes."

There was a moment of silence at the bottom. After being interrupted, the minister who had just talked was unable to remember what he was going to say.

Seeing this, Yu Fu said, "I think it's time to increase taxes."

Some ministers who are against heavy taxes want to say something, but Yu Fu continues: "but it's not unconditional. In the final analysis, it is to fill the national treasury. The people should understand that the war is fierce and the consumption is too large. If the imperial court promises to increase taxes by 40% within three years, it will reduce taxes by 20% on the basis of reducing taxes by 40% after three years. Is that easier to accept? "

After hearing the words, the ministers felt quite reasonable.

Some people worry, "Your Majesty, if the Treasury is still short of money and grain in three years' time, will it not impoverish the treasury as it is now to reduce taxes?"

Yufu looks at Xue Rou, who says: "according to my Lord, three years is enough for Beili to recuperate, and the Treasury is gradually full. After three years, reducing taxes will not have much impact. "

After hearing the words, all the officials said, "OK, let's look at the Imperial Academy's plan according to this meaning. As for the specific increase or decrease, the Ministry of household will report to me after consultation. The only thing that matters is that we must not let the people fail to pay their taxes for the past three years. Otherwise, it is meaningless for them to talk about what to do after three years. "

Xue Rou arched her hand and said, "yes, your majesty, please rest assured. Your Majesty's accession to the throne in recent years has been light corvee meager taxes, Beili people are rich, will not even pay the taxes for these three years

"That's good."

……

The news of the early Dynasty spread quickly, and the people of Gu Fu were very surprised to hear the news.

They went out with Yufu, but they didn't see that the fetus in Yufu's belly was still there. It turned out that she didn't give up the child!

"It's too cold in Taicheng. Yufu is wrapped like zongzi every time he goes out. Where can we see that?"

When Gu Jiusong made such an excuse, Yan Jichu also gave him a light hammer, "you men are careless, even if you are all thinking about fighting, how can you still care about Yufu's stomach? If I were there, I would see it

Gu Jiuge laughs and flatters, "since I married my wife, my mind has been on her. How can I pay attention to other women? Even if it's Yufu, I can't look at it carefully. "

This flattery was good. Knowing that it was flattery, Yin Jixiao still laughed.

Gu Hanmo said: "I'm leading the imperial army to protect the imperial driver, but I'm close to Yu, but I don't pay attention to her stomach No wonder when he was in Taicheng, Tianshu cooked medicine for Yufu every day. The taste of the medicine was different two or three times a day. It's a pity that I don't know the pharmacology, otherwise I would know it's a tocolysis drug. "

Gu Yi also said: "yes, Yufu's hair has been cut short a lot. I think it's because I'm pregnant with a child. I'm worried that my hair has absorbed too much blood essence, so I cut it short for my child? I said, how can Yufu have a good haircut? No matter Dongling or Beili, women can't easily cut their hair! "

"All right, all right."

Su Yunyan came up from behind with a big stomach, "what's the use of talking about these now? Why did you go there early? My second sister-in-law is right. Your men are careless. If we were here, we would have known. "

Gu Yizheng wanted to explain something for himself and his elder brother when he saw Gu huaijiang rushing out and Qi Zhou following him.

He hurried out and stopped Qi Zhou, "where is father going in a hurry?"

"Where else?"

Qi Zhou arched his hand to the sky. "Naturally, he went to the palace to see his majesty."
