Chapter 339: This Road Doesn't Work
Liu Chengshuang's family has gained the most in this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and almost the whole family has benefited.
Liu Yunlian didn't seem to have benefited, but Situ Liufeng had been promoted to the second grade, but he didn't enter the palace, so the holy decree went directly to the house. Liu Yunyang notified the ministry a few years ago and was promoted to the fifth grade. Although it is only a small step, it is not simple, after all, his position is special.
Needless to say, Liu Chengshuang was promoted, and she was promoted. Her son, daughter, son-in-law, and nephew are all upgraded, and she is happier than anyone else!
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, the emperor did not wait, so he asked his father-in-law to directly read out the holy decree of tax reduction and exemption for next year, such as reducing taxes in places where new grain varieties had already been popularized. Where it has just become popular, it is exempt from taxation first.
This year's crop harvest can also make farmers a little rich in the past. Now the harvest has at least doubled, and it will be a year or two before the harvest is comfortable. For a time, there were more civil marriages.
As the banquet gradually became lively, some ministers began to move around each other to toast, and usually at this time, the emperor would leave the table early in order to relax the people below. Seeing that the emperor was about to get up, the ancient prince hurriedly walked over with wine.
"Your Majesty!"
When the emperor saw the ancient prince coming over, he first disliked it in his heart. His son, even if he is a son who has not seen the light, can live in the Guogong Mansion, which is the great creation of the Guogong Mansion. But this old puppet not only doesn't love it, but also looks for trouble everywhere!
"Old man? Is this going to be a toast? The emperor sat down again, and the ladies who planned to leave the table with him could only sit down and wait.
The Ancient Duke sighed. "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister's feelings of loving his grandson. I don't know when His Majesty plans to let Gu Mo go to Nanyue? ”
The emperor glanced at the ancient prince and said lightly. "Let's leave on the fifteenth day of the first month, now that Nanyue is just stable, I can't give anyone who has a heart a chance to take advantage of it."
"Lao Chen is also not at ease. So Gu Mo's marriage ......"
"King Nan's marriage is decided, so naturally it will not delay his marriage. The county lord of Fuhui and Lu let him come back, and then wait in the capital to get married and then go to Nanyue together. The emperor saw that the lips of the ancient prince moved, and said with a smile, "The little couple just got married." How can it be separated? Could it be that you are not in a hurry to hold your great-grandson? ”
The emperor knew that Gu Zhuo could not have children, and this sentence was obviously a warning to Gu Guogong not to act smartly.
Gu Guogong hurriedly shook his head, "How could the old minister not let his daughter-in-law follow Gu Mo?" The old minister was worried that they were young. I went to Nanyue and couldn't serve the public. I want to ask Your Majesty for a favor. ”
"It's all beaten, if you don't accept it, you can fight again!" The emperor waved his hand indifferently, wondering in his heart if this old guy wanted to intervene in Nanyue?
The emperor gave Nanyue to Gu Mo, not only because Gu Mo was his most beloved woman and left his child. It is also a compensation for Gu Mo. is also the protection of him, and there is another reason for this, that is, Gu Mo's loyalty to himself reassures him.
He was not afraid that Gu Mo would have thoughts when he was in power, but he was afraid that the successor after he left would not be able to tolerate Gu Mo. Although there are not many people who know Gu Mo's identity, it is difficult to ensure that the paper cannot contain the fire.
Therefore, although the emperor said that he was temporarily guarding, he had actually prepared a secret decree. If you go by yourself, it will be left for Gu Mo to be a fief. Keep him away from the capital. Be at ease as an earth emperor there. Anyway, it's all his own blood, and the emperor doesn't have any worries.
The queen, who had been silent, suddenly glanced at the ancient prince. He said, "Your Majesty, the old man's concern is also justified. The concubine didn't understand state affairs, but suddenly came up with a good idea. ”
The ancient prince was overjoyed in his heart, and the queen really knew her own hints! His silent support over the years has not been in vain.
The emperor's heart is the most sensitive, and the queen suddenly opened her mouth to speak for the ancient prince, there must be something boring. So he followed them and asked, "Oh? Then tell me about it, how is it beneficial for Nanwang to guard Nanyue? ”
"Your Majesty, our Great Xia has defeated Nanyue, and the people of Nanyue must have resisted in their hearts. But if there are Nanyue people by the side of the people guarding the town, the hearts of the Nanyue people will be more relaxed. As she spoke, the queen glanced at the old man's face, and when she saw him smile, she knew that her guess was right.
There is some truth to this. The emperor nodded, "Don't stick to one pattern to reduce talents, Gu Mo won't be nepotistic when he gets there." Specific ways and means will definitely be considered. There are also many capable people in Nanyue, as long as they are loyal, they can also be used. ”
Seeing that the emperor had misunderstood, Lao Guogong was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, even the people of Nanyue must be inspected before they can be used, but it will not work for a while." As...... Why don't you marry with the local royal family? ”
Marriage? The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "If King Nan likes it, even if he accepts a few women from the local noble clan." This is a private matter, and I can't interfere with it. ”
"Where are ordinary women worthy of our King of the South?" The queen mother answered, "The concubine remembers that the two princesses of Nanyue are also here tonight, why don't you meet Your Majesty?" ”
"Oops!" Concubine Shu suddenly shouted on the side, "Please forgive Your Majesty and the queen concubine for her gaffe, the concubine suddenly heard the queen's words and was so frightened." ”
"What did Hongu say to scare you?" The queen frowned, she didn't like this concubine who didn't stand in line.
"I just heard that the queen meant to accept the princess of Nanyue for the king of Nan? Let's not talk about the identity of the princess who destroyed the country. Let's just say that these two princesses, one is good at raising Gu snakes, and she once put up a snake formation to hinder my advance in Great Xia, and the other is also the priestess of Nanyue. These two people are evil when they hear this, if they have a heart of disobedience...... Isn't the king of the south in danger? After all, it's the hatred of the country and the family......"
The emperor thought deeply of this, and he didn't look down on the two princesses of Nanyue. Although one is glamorous and the other is cold, they are stunning, but they are evil in their bones. "Concubine Shu is right, the queen's proposal is not appropriate. Those two princesses will be locked up in the cold palace for the time being. ”
With such two evil people walking around the palace at will, no matter how good the guards around the emperor are, they won't really be able to take care of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and I feel panicked when I think about it. The emperor frowned, feeling that these two were extremely eyesore, "Find a suitable opportunity to deal with these two people!" ”
Dealt with? The queen and the old prince were both choked, and Concubine Shu snickered twice in her heart, "King Nan hasn't married the concubine yet, so you don't have to worry too much." You can't chill the heroes. ”
The emperor glanced at Concubine Shu approvingly, "That's right, you all have to rest this thought first." "Whether it is the Liu family or Gu Mo, it is crucial, and the emperor is unwilling to let too many people interfere. (To be continued.) )
