Chapter 396: Sealing the King

Next Chapter

Emperor Qianyuan did a lot of capricious things, and Wang Zhiyao, the wife of Yan Guo, was in charge of the household department, and she could definitely be ranked first.

Mrs. Yan Guo, who originally stayed in the capital as a 'hostage', suddenly became the speaker of the household department, which made it especially difficult for the officials in the court to accept, saying that she was a chicken Si Chen, and the imperial history was more like holding a bag of explosives and slammed into the palace door with her life.

There are even wild words that in addition to Gu Tianze and his wife, there are talents in the country.

Emperor Qianyuan adhered to the attitude of ignoring this, and he did not appoint Wang Zhiyao as the secretary of the household department, but only helped manage the accounts, counted the income, and standardized the household department.

Gu Tianze is like an eagle that can't be recovered when it is scattered, there is no trace if he flutters his wings and flies high, Emperor Qianyuan is worried that Wang Zhiyao has nothing to think about when he is idle, and Wang Yixin had a sincere conversation with Emperor Qianyuan before leaving Beijing, Emperor Qianyuan thoroughly understands that there are too many people in the court who look at Gu Tianze unpleasantly, and it is inevitable that some people will calculate Gu Tianze with the slogan of the Qing monarch.

Emperor Qianyuan was originally quite confident, but Wang Yixin's frank attitude made him hesitate a little, the most important thing is to fight the war, and Wang Zhiyao is indeed capable, no matter how she will not harm Aze, plus Emperor Qianyuan always remembered Empress Taizu Gao, so he allowed Wang Zhiyao to 'toss' in the household department.

Wang Zhiyao integrated and set up various 'divisions' in the household department, making the division of household work more clear.

In Wang Zhiyao's view, the division of labor in the six-department system of cabinet ministers is not detailed enough, the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, and the household registration is in charge, and there are many and miscellaneous things, the system has not yet been established, and the authority is not clear...... Since she has done it, she must do it well, so her actions shocked the government and the opposition.

Yin Shoufu even took the initiative to discuss the refinement of the six parts with her, so that the officials in the court were going crazy, on the one hand, people with lofty ideals were attracted by Wang Zhiyao and secretly agreed with the innovation she made. On the other hand, her measures shook the six-part system, and the innovation was too bold.

Many people want to ask Wang Zhiyao, what do you want to do?!

Who knows, when the news of Gu Tianze's pacification of Siam and other island countries reached the capital, Wang Zhiyao never went to the household department anymore, pushed away everything, and concentrated on raising tiger girls at home!

Her sudden and complete withdrawal from the court made it even more confusing. But it also made the feudal man who was ready to work hard punch the cotton. Helpless.

Wang Zhiyao's departure from the position of power allowed her to retain the 'New Deal', and her strategy of subdividing the six ministries also benefited Yin Shoufu a lot. After all, Yin Shoufu is the most outstanding talent in this era, and he actually filled in the loopholes that Wang Zhiyao said.

The official system of the dynasty has been improved, the work is more efficient, and there are many fewer contradictions in passing the buck and interfering with each other.

"In the history of the Hereafter. Yin Shoufu is the pioneer of innovation, I ...... It's the unsung hero. ”

Wang Zhiyao hugged her daughter. "Little Tiger Girl, when Grandpa Yin comes in the future, don't remember to give him a good look."

"Okay, mother."

Tiger Girl is two years old. The words were already very neat, "But grandpa, there are a lot of uncles." When is Daddy coming back to see Tiger Girl? ”

"He's it." Wang Zhiyao's eyes dimmed, "The separation is just for a faster meeting." Your father promised me that he would accompany us wholeheartedly for the next twenty years, Tiger Girl, for two or three years for twenty years, and we made a profit on this deal. ”

"Your Majesty said ......"

"Gotcha, don't mention him to me!"

Wang Zhiyao made a handful of free labor, with a mixed reputation, and the benefits were all won by Emperor Qianyuan, and Emperor Qianyuan didn't kindly let her haunt the East Palace and accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to 'play', didn't she just watch her teach the tiger girl very lively?

Emperor Qianyuan half-jokingly said to Wang Zhiyao that she had integrated the qualifications of the Taifu that the ancestors of the Wang family did not have.

Wang Zhiyao couldn't figure out how she was so tall that she was just playing with the little prince for two days? She can swear to God, she didn't tell stories, she didn't tell idioms, and she didn't teach the prince how to behave.

It must be the emperor who is making her happy and wants her to continue to serve him loyally.

"The prince's cousin is only two years older than me, mother, why does the prince call you cousin-in-law."

“……”

I was really depressed by a little bean ding called my cousin-in-law, Wang Zhiyao rarely refused Hu Niu's question, "Who makes the emperor have more women and more princes, your father calls the emperor uncle, and His Royal Highness the prince is the same generation as your father, so naturally call me cousin-in-law." ”

In the past two years since Gu Tianze went on the expedition, Emperor Qianyuan has added two more princes and a princess, which is what an emperor with busy government affairs should do?

Who believes.

The young concubines selected to enter the palace served Emperor Qianyuan very well, and at the most critical juncture of the war, Emperor Qianyuan did not forget to relax in the harem.

Thanks to Gu Tianze, he is not as lustful as Emperor Qianyuan.

But when will Sanshao come back?

Wang Zhiyao thinks about him almost every day, the taste of missing and waiting is too difficult, and the separation of people who are in love with him is so painful.

*****

Thousands of miles of running, surprisingly victorious, Gu Tianze commanded an iron cavalry from the like a steel knife straight into the past, the blade pointed, invincible, in and out of the western neighbors like no one's land, open up territory, and make great achievements.

However, man's strength is limited after all, he attacks thousands of miles, people are sleepy and tired, and his subordinates are like the end of a strong crossbow, tired and unwilling to fight again.

In the dead of night, camping and resting, Gu Tianze couldn't sleep, sitting alone by the lake, the moonlight was particularly intoxicating, he took out the talisman from his arms, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, and he almost wanted to see it, Xiao Qi!

Not only did his subordinates slack off, but he himself was also thinking about what would happen after returning to Beijing.

He didn't say goodbye at the beginning, and he walked for three years, missed the first time the tiger girl spoke, missed the tiger girl walking, and didn't know if the tiger girl still knew him when he went back.

Xiao Qi will definitely lose his temper, but ...... What Gu Tianze wanted to do most was to pounce on her and ask her fiercely!

"General Gu."

"Huh?"

"When will the class teacher return to the court?"

"Wait for the imperial court to send someone to take over the land that has been laid."

Gu Tianze couldn't hold back his thoughts about his wife and daughter, and said rationally: "There is no need to enter the army again, focus on the defensive." ”

The land that was beaten down cannot be lost because he left.

The adjutant general let out a sigh of relief, and he was most afraid that General Gu would rush forward regardless of it, "The general is triumphant, this time he will definitely be crowned the prince of the country." ”

For three years, Gu Tianze fought battles that others might not be able to win in several lifetimes. The dazzling results and brilliant achievements are enough to ensure that Gu Tianze will go further in the title.

"We are luckier than those who died in the war, we can accompany our wives and daughters when we return to Beijing, and I don't care about the knighthood."

Gu Tianze stood up from the stone and put down the talisman. His eyes were calm. "I always remember that the purpose of sending troops was not just to be knighted."

*****

Recently, there have been frequent reports of good news in the imperial court, and one by one jaw-dropping good news has been transmitted back to the capital. It has greatly improved the morale and self-esteem of the people, and the sense of belonging to the country, no one does not want their country to be strong, and the people are now shouting the most is long live Emperor Qianyuan.

Emperor Qianyuan was the happiest one. is not only proud of Gu Tianze, but also quite complacent. It is precisely because of his insight and trust in Gu Tianze that he has today's results.

The courtiers were mostly silent, and what else could they say in the face of His Majesty the Emperor, who was overjoyed?

Of course, there are also many officials who sing praises to Emperor Qianyuan without any discipline. Emperor Qianyuan fully demonstrated that being an emperor is a capricious characteristic, and if he has power, he is qualified to be capricious, and he rewarded officials who slackened their beards.

According to his words. Everyone is willing to listen to good words and make me happy with them. It should be rewarded.

Emperor Qianyuan had already allowed Gu Tianze's class to return to the dynasty and ordered the whole country to celebrate, but at this moment, news came from the front that Gu Tianze and his subordinates had disappeared and were said to be under siege...... This was like a basin of cold water, which extinguished all the enthusiasm of Emperor Qianyuan, and the atmosphere in the court became very tense.

Unfavorable news is even more frequent, some people say that Gu Tianze was defeated and surrendered, and some people Gu Tianze died in battle, in short, most of them will not believe that Gu Tianze can come back alive.

At the court meeting, Emperor Qianyuan asked irritably: "Still there is no news of Aze?" ”

The courtiers shook their heads in tacit agreement.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Yan Guo asks to see you."

"Xuan."

Emperor Qianyuan didn't understand the reason for Wang Zhiyao's sudden appearance, since she left the household, she rarely appeared in front of everyone, when the good news was frequent, many people came to see her, but she was turned away, and she invited her to various celebration banquets, but she always declined, this time, she appeared.

If it was possible, Wang Zhiyao didn't want to wear heavy court clothes and lead the tiger girl to the court, but if she didn't show up again, I don't know what people outside would say about Gu Tianze. When there is good news, they can't wait to hold Gu Tianze to the sky, and once there is unfavorable news, everyone can't wait to step on Gu Tianze.

The hatred that has accumulated in Gu Tianze's body for more than 20 years cannot be eliminated overnight.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

"Flat."

Wang Zhiyao got up slowly, holding the little tiger girl with an innocent smile in her right hand, "Does Your Majesty believe Gu Tianze?" ”

"Huh?" Emperor Qianyuan frowned, "I believe in him. ”

"Don't you believe in General Gu?"

“……”

The courtiers avoided Wang Zhiyao's gaze one after another, even if they didn't believe it, they kept it in their hearts, how could they mention it in person?

"I believe in his loyalty!"

Wang Zhiyao chuckled, "Don't mention why he disappeared, just say that his previous military exploits are not enough to make you believe in him?" The people who fought in front of them were very hard, they were not afraid of sacrifice, and they were loyal to the country, if they were misunderstood again, wouldn't it make the soldiers feel cold? “

The minister thought that the most important thing now was not to doubt whether Gu Tianze was loyal, but to send people to support him. Because I know that even if Gu Tianze dies in battle, he will never be defeated and surrender to the enemy. ”

Wang Zhiyao took a deep breath, "For his wife, I am willing to share weal and sorrow with him, and I implore Your Majesty to put me under house arrest. ”

"I'm not a faint king who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, you give me peace of mind to stay in Yongshouhouhou, I see who dares to come to the door to find you!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Do you dare to disobey?"

"Don't dare."

Wang Zhiyao lowered her head and said, "It's better to put me in a conspicuous position." ”

Emperor Qianyuan insisted on disobeying, and Wang Zhiyao could only go around the court every day to prove that she was still in the capital.

A month later, the good news came again, Gu Tianze's bloody battle broke out of the encirclement, the soldiers came to the barbarian court, expelled the barbarians for thousands of miles, Emperor Qianyuan laughed loudly, "Feng Wang, I want to make him king!" ”

Half a month later, after three and a half years out of Beijing, the soldiers who fought for tens of thousands of miles triumphed, Gu Tianze returned to the capital full of glory, and at the same time, he received the will of Emperor Qianyuan to crown him as the king of eternal life.
