What's more, after Chu Ziyan later married Su Zhiyuan, the people of Taifu Mansion often took care of her, and the New Year's gifts were very generous during the New Year's holidays. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info which made her life in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion a little better.

Old lady Gu and her young daughter Gu Changqing talked for a long time, then looked at Chu Ziyan and said, "This is Yan'er, they have grown so big." I remember that you were angry because of Chunhua's aunt for a while, and you had a fetal gas, and you almost couldn't keep it.

At that time, your mother gave birth to you had a difficult life, and when you were born, you were as weak as a kitten, and you could hold both hands from head to toe. Smaller than the average child, only a little more than four pounds. I can't even cry, but my old woman begged Master Yunhai to ......"

"Mother, Yan'er is so old, what are you talking about? Gu Changqing said: "The previous things have passed, what are you still bringing up?" ”

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, you say that this person is old, and he loves to think about the past and nag. Old Mrs. Gu picked up the snack box beside her and handed it to Chu Ziyan, and said, "Yan'er, you're welcome, just take this place as your own home, do whatever you want, don't be restrained." ”

"Hey, thank you, Grandma. ”

Old Lady Gu listened to Chu Ziyan's words, touched her head and said, "That's good." Then she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, that is, Chu Ziyan's aunt, and said, "Let Yuan Miao's girl come over and play with Yan'er for a while." ”

Chu Ziyan hurried ahead of the Wang family and said, "Grandma, I want to go to my cousin's yard for a walk, you let me go over and play." ”

"Okay, okay," Old Lady Gu looked at Wang and said, "Then you take Yan'er to Yuanmiao's yard and let the two sisters play for a while." ”

"Yes, Mother. ”

After the Wang family finished saluting, they took Chu Ziyan's hand and walked out, leaving the two masters in the house, Gu Changqing and Old Lady Gu.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Gu beckoned everyone to go down, leaving only the two of them to speak.

"Are you going to leave when you come back this time?"

"I don't know this, it depends on the arrangement of the imperial court, if you want to go out, then you have to leave. Gu Changqing continued: "My daughter is used to staying outside, and she is still a little uncomfortable when she returns to the capital at first glance. ”

"Decentralization is not a long-term solution, Weihe is a place to train military households, and the military tun is planted by military households. Chu Yan has been doing these two things for more than ten years. Manage and train military households, ready to fight at any time. Mrs. Gu continued: "When I came back this time, I heard that it seemed that the Xu family was making the effort and wanted him to come back. ”

"The Xu family?" Gu Changqing thought for a while and said, "It's Xianggong's uncle's family, since the family broke up and Aunt Chunhua's matter, the two families have almost just been able to get by." How can I make the effort to get Xianggong back this time. ”

"Naturally, there is something going on in the court. Old Lady Gu said, "Your father is still in the palace on the outskirts of Beijing and Qin Tianjian doesn't know what he's doing. I haven't heard from him for half a month, just handing out a note of peace every day, and some things that are needed, and nothing else. ”

"What happened to make the imperial court pay so much attention to it and let my father pass?"

"Your father only said the word alien, and the rest is unknown. Old Madam Gu sighed and said, "In every dynasty, as long as these two words come out, this represents a bad thing." Less than five days apart, Liu Chunlin and Zhou Shijie died. These two court officials are not ordinary characters. They are all the chief and deputy examiners appointed by the emperor. ”

"Why did you kill them? Have you found the murderer?"

Old Madam Gu shook her head and said, "No, where can it be so easy." Both of them were killed while they were on night duty in the inner palace, and no one heard the movement. The murderer was killed with a single sword, cleanly. The next day, when the officials who came to the court found their bodies, they were already frozen.

The emperor was shocked by this, and it was not far from where he lived. The murderer is so elusive, what if you want his life one day. Therefore, in the past few days, Jin Wuwei and Jinyiwei have been very busy. ”

"Mother, what does this have to do with the army?"

"You are smart and brainy, it seems that you are only suitable for learning those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Old Lady Gu sighed and said, "The meaning of levying silver on behalf of conscription means that if the military household does not want to join the army anymore, as long as he pays a certain amount of silver taels to the imperial court, he can be removed from this position." If this continues, it will have a great impact on Dafeng's military strength.

The first is that the number of troops will be drastically reduced. There has been no war for so long, and people are recuperating well, and they all have some spare money in their hands. Gradually, people don't want to train anymore, they don't want to go to that kind of knife licking blood anymore, they go today, and tomorrow they don't know the day when they are famous and fatal. It is estimated that a large number of people will pay this money.

Second, the number of troops is small, and the generals and these reserve training personnel are not very needed. You may be assigned to another place on an errand. However, after so many years in the martial arts, can you really fight with those people who came from the imperial examination? You can't beat them, and they all have their own factions now. If you don't fit in, you'll be excluded, and it's hard to fit in. It's not right.

Third, the countries around Dafeng are getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer the time when we can surpass other countries a lot. What if other countries attack Dafeng? The main battle is still the main peace?

The main battle, the number of people is not enough, the training is insufficient, and it can't beat others. If the Lord is peaceful, he will need to pay a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, which may be more than the silver that will be levied on behalf of the conscription.

So, this proposition is not good. However, the majority of the court was very much in favor of this proposal. The two men who were killed did not advocate the use of silver as a substitute for forced labor. ”

"Is that why they were killed?"

"I don't know, but it may be because of the imperial examination. Some people thought they were an eyesore, so they wanted to move away. Old Lady Gu said, "No matter which one it is, it's not a trivial matter. The imperial examination is a major national event, and there was a landing show in the previous dynasty that failed the exam a few times, and actually rebelled. Although it did not succeed, it can also make a large country quickly destroyed. (This was the case with the Yellow Nest Rebellion in history)

"Didn't you say that Xiucai didn't succeed in raising troops for three years? If it makes trouble, it's trouble, and there's nothing, isn't Datang going from prosperity to decline because of the Anshi Rebellion?"

"Since you talked about the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, let's talk about it. The Tang Dynasty's rise to fall began in the middle of Tianbao, which was founded more than 130 years ago. When the emperor had lost the hard work of his youth, it was the result that led to the later results.

The emperor at that time did several things wrong, first, he was greedy and disorderly, second, he was useless and treacherous, and third, he allowed the feudal town to sit big. Even, after the Anshi Rebellion, he didn't even have the ability to clean up. (To be continued.) )
