The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, which is a rule set by Gaozu when he established the dynasty. As a queen, it is her duty to raise her children to take care of the affairs of the harem, and you should not ask too much about the affairs of the court.

Queen Wang sat in the middle palace for several years, and was extremely cautious, lest she provoke the jealousy of Emperor Yuanyou.

Gu Wanning and Xiao Xu didn't have this problem, and the husband and wife had nothing to say in private. Court disputes, harem affairs, easy to come, unscrupulous.

"Just let them be vassal, and cheapen them for nothing. ”

Gu Wanning said lightly: "The taxes of the domain belong to the vassal king, and let the imperial court help raise the garrison of the domain." In the past, the emperor's grandfather was used to his son, and others couldn't control it. Now that your nephew is the emperor, there is no reason for an uncle to take advantage of his nephew in the world. In the future, the military rations of the garrisons of the feudal territories will be left to the feudal kings to figure out their own way. Just to save the imperial court a lot of expenses. ”

The vassal kings were so rich that they flowed with oil, and they bleed. lest they be like the king of Qi, who used all the gold and silver to secretly raise the dead and secretly guard.

Xiao Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he blurted out: "Good idea! In two days, I will let the Yushi platform play a fold!"

This kind of thing, of course, does not require the Son of Heaven to come out in person.

Gu Wanning saw that Xiao Xu didn't want to listen to his own opinions, his heart warmed slightly, and he deliberately said: "You discuss the affairs of the government with me, listen to my suggestions, and are not afraid that people will be ashamed to spread it?"

Xiao Xu stared at Gu Wanning and said slowly: "A-Ning, in your previous life, you were the queen mother, you were wise and decisive when you were in power, and you acted decisively, I have seen them all. In all fairness, even more so than me. ”

"In my heart, you are not only my wife, but also the mother of my children, and the most trustworthy person in the world. ”

"With such a good staff by my side, of course I have to ask for advice from time to time. ”

In this world, the greatest respect a man gives to his wife is to regard her as his bosom friend.

Gu Wanning's eyes were slightly hot, and bursts of warmth surged in his heart. She couldn't speak for a while, so she rested her head on Xiao Xu's chest.

Through his thin clothes, his heartbeat could be heard clearly.

Knock knock, warm and powerful.

"Do you hear what my heart is saying?" Xiao Xu chuckled, "It's calling your name all the time." ”

The corners of Gu Wanning's lips raised slightly, and he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "In a few days, I will let the fourth sister out of the palace." ”

Xiao Xu had already guessed Gu Wanning's plan, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

He didn't ask Gu Wanning what he was going to do.

She had already arranged it, and she didn't need him to ask too much.

……

A few days later, at the court meeting, the imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory was played and the vassal king was invited to return to the domain.

King Wei and King Han had expected this day, but the two did not panic and went out together.

King Wei was older, so he opened his mouth first: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, everything is not stable, this king is not talented, and he cheekily begs the emperor to allow me and my sixth brother to stay in Beijing for a few more months." First, to comfort the spirit of the emperor in the sky, and second, we are also willing to contribute to the imperial court, hoping that the emperor will agree. ”

King Han also bowed his hand and said earnestly: "I am also willing to saddle the horse for the emperor, please ask the emperor to just give orders." ”

Xiao Xu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked moved: "The four emperor uncles and the six emperor uncles care so much about me and the court, which can be called an example of the vassal king." I was very moved. ”

"It's just that the vassal king is a vassal and is not allowed to stay in the capital for a long time, which is a rule set by the ancestors when they opened the dynasty. I will never suspect what the intentions of the two imperial uncles are, but with the King of Qi in front of the chaos, if I leave the two imperial uncles in the capital again, won't I let the two imperial uncles bear the notoriety of coveting the dragon chair with malicious intentions?"

King Wei and King Han sank in their hearts when they heard this.

Xiao Xu said this too insidiously!!

As soon as the words of coveting the dragon chair came out, what excuse did the two of them have to stay in the capital?

Sure enough, Fu Ge Lao immediately opened his mouth: "The emperor's benevolent heart is known to the ministers." His Royal Highness King Wei and His Royal Highness King Han are well aware of the righteousness, and they will not disappoint the emperor, let alone make themselves infamous and disgrace the emperor. ”

Immediately afterwards, the other two cabinet elders also opened their mouths to echo, and there were many speakers among the officials of the six departments.

A few who stood up to speak for King Wei and King Han were quickly drowned out in the voices of the ministers.

King Wei's heart sank.

Xiao Xu has only been on the throne for a few months, and the speed of gathering people's hearts is unexpectedly fast. The general trend has gone, and if you struggle again, it will make people laugh. Let's go!

King Wei and King Han quickly glanced at each other, and they retreated together.

Unexpectedly, the matter is not over yet.

After the two expressed their willingness to leave Beijing and return to the domain, the head of the household department came out of the ranks, lamenting with a sad face that the treasury was empty and could not supply the military department with money and food.

The secretary of the military department refused to give in, and immediately solemnly stated that the military rations of the 100,000 border troops must not be missing. The Divine Guards and the Forbidden Army guarding the capital could not be without food.

In this way, the only way to do this is to cut the salaries of the troops stationed in various places.

King Wei was so shrewd that he soon heard that something was wrong. This is clearly for the two of them!

King Han is a straightforward character, and the officials in the audience are going around, and his heart is very unhappy, and he said coldly with a calm face: "How can the treasury be empty?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the head of the household was coming at him brightly: "His Royal Highness King Han doesn't know anything. The treasury was originally quite full, but the year before last it allocated a large amount of money and grain for disaster relief, and last year it also organized the funerals of the former prince and the first emperor, which cost a lot of money. This year, it is really difficult to meet the food and salary of the military department. ”

Doctor Yu Shitai immediately proposed: "His Royal Highness King Han and His Royal Highness King Wei are concerned about the court, and he will definitely share the emperor's worries." ”

Xiao Xu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at it with hope and expectation.

King Han and King Wei: "......"

The two vassal kings were so angry that they gritted their teeth and cursed.

It's too insidious and too cunning!

However, the two of them have been put on fire, and they can't do it without shedding their skin. It's better to open your mouth actively. Otherwise, it will only be more ugly.

As a result, the two vassal kings of the "High Wind and Bright Festival", in the praise of the Son of Heaven and the praise of the ministers, reluctantly took the initiative to bear the military salary of the garrison of the domain.

……

King Han of Wei, who was also depressed, couldn't help but get together that night and drank a sullen meal. After a few glasses of wine, King Han slapped the table and scolded angrily:

"Who came up with such a bad trick! If you want us to do it, just say it, let's go. It's really infuriating me that there are so many movements, and we are still being asked to feed the garrison!"

"As soon as my father left, Xiao Xu turned his face and denied us two imperial uncles! I went to my father's tomb to cry once. ”

King Wei did not stop King Han from venting his dissatisfaction, and he was also very annoyed in his heart.

It would have been better to leave sooner if I had known this was the case.

The two of them did not have the courage of King Qi, but they were unwilling to let their young nephew sit on the dragon chair and be feared by the Son of Heaven, which was inevitable.
