Chapter 493: The Best Candidate for Marshal (Part II)
Liu Yu visited Qi Fang's mother, and then went out, Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Lan also came out one after another, the wedding ceremony has ended, and after dealing with the things on the scene, it stands to reason that the newlyweds should go to the cave room to flower candles, and Liu Yu should also go home as a guest.
But Liu Yue couldn't understand why Liu Jue was not in the marriage room, but was accompanying these women.
"After all, my sister has been married, so I don't have to be too rigid about some red tape." Xu Xuanzhu said something as if he had unintentionally, and Liu Yu nodded and was relieved.
"What about Xiao Zhan, why didn't you see him?" Liu Yu asked.
"I'm still in the Hou Mansion, and I'll come over tomorrow."
's mother got married, but Cao Zhan, the little oil bottle, couldn't come over to join in the fun, but wanted to stay in the Dingguo Marquis's mansion. Most likely, some people thought that he would ruin the atmosphere of the wedding. Liu Yu suddenly became unworthy of Liu Jue, Qi Fang is now famous, is it a big face or a wife?
Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu and others walked out of the main hall, the song and dance performance outside had not yet ended, Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu bypassed the performance site in front of the steps and walked in the direction of the main entrance, because Liu Yu and his party even accompanied by a lot of guards, it was very eye-catching, and it was difficult for Sima Xuan'er to see it.
Sima Xuan'er, who was dancing on one foot, looked at Liu Yu, and seemed to be a little distracted, and the foot was unstable and was about to fall backwards, Liu Yue was also a little stunned when he saw this situation, he thought that Sima Xuan'er was going to be ugly in public again, but he didn't expect her to improvise when her body was out of balance, holding the ground with one hand, an elegant Thomas full spin, and then standing upside down with one arm, landing on both feet and standing up.
This series of difficult movements caused cheers from everyone present, and there were many lecherous ghosts who were ready to take a look at the scenery under the skirt when Sima Xuan'er was upside down, but these dancers had a strong sense of self-preservation. Zhilu Dao will often turn up his skirt when dancing. The inside is all bottoms made of thin pants. only exposed the part below the ankle, and when Sima Xuan'er was doing a one-arm handstand, she staggered her feet to hook her skirt, this handstand just made people see that she was still wearing pants inside.
Many people have a look of disappointment on their faces, because it is rare for women in these years not to wear open crotch pants.
Sima Xuan'er stood steady, and by the way, she finished the dance, standing there with her hands and saluting the audience, but her eyes still fell on Liu Yu intentionally or unintentionally. Liu Yu smiled at her and nodded, as if he had said hello, turned around and left the Annehou Mansion with Xu Xuanzhu.
Because Xu Xuanzhu was pregnant, she did not ride a horse, but sat in a sedan chair, while Liu Yu rode a horse and said nothing all the way. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Xu Xuanzhu came out of the sedan chair and saw that Liu Yu was thinking about things, she thought that Liu Yu was thinking about Sima Xuan'er before. On the way, he was a little lost, and he still didn't talk to Liu Yu. Until returning to the Yingcui Palace. When he got home, Xu Xuanzhu helped Liu Yu take off his coat, and then asked, "Husband is still thinking about Miss Lan?" ”
Liu Yu was a little stunned when he heard this.
When Sima Xuan'er was dancing in the palace, she saw Liu Yu lose her mind and fall from the drum set, and Xu Xuanzhu was also present at the time, so Xu Xuanzhu recognized Sima Xuan'er and knew her relationship with Liu Yu. Today, with her woman's acuity, she can't see anything between Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er, and her wife is incompetent.
"I didn't think about her, I was thinking about who would lead the troops to the south."
Liu Yu was telling the truth, but to Xu Xuanzhu's ears, it seemed as if Liu Yu was making words to hide her. Xu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "My husband has a woman outside, do you still want to hide your concubine?" ”
After Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu got married, they have always had a harmonious family, and Xu Xuanzhu accommodated him in everything, and as the hostess of the family, he was not jealous. Today is also the first time that Xu Xuanzhu mentioned Liu Yu as an "outside woman".
Liu Yu didn't want to increase Xu Xuanzhu's worries in vain, especially for pregnant women, if she felt that her husband was going to alienate her, it was easy to get postpartum depression or something. Liu Yu sat down and told Xu Xuanzhu about his relationship with Sima Xuan'er, and by the way, he even talked about Li Sha'er, no matter how big or small. Liu Yu thought that these things would have to be said sooner or later, and saying it earlier would not worry the family.
"I see. Miss Li and Lan are also good girls. After listening, Xu Xuanzhu's face disappeared with suspicion, and he said casually.
Xu Xuanzhu will be so relieved because Liu Yu said very clearly that he and Sima Xuan'er are still only friends, and although he has a dependent relationship with Li Xuan'er, because this relationship has not yet been understood by the Li family, although Liu Yu has already made a concubine for Li Sha'er in the official mansion, Liu Yu has not had a relationship with her.
The frankness of her husband made Xu Xuanzhu feel the warmth of each other's frankness.
"With the current status of the husband, who do you want to admit to enter the door, do you need to get anyone's consent?"
Xu Xuanzhu now has everything in his heart towards Liu Yu, and thinks about it from Liu Yu's position. Now Liu Yu is equivalent to the uncrowned emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, and what Liu Yue wants to do, there is really no need to ask for other people's opinions.
"Now that the war in the south is about to break out, the world is still unstable, so we should wait until we settle down and talk about these things in detail."
Liu Yue is worried about Qi'er's reaction, although Qi'er is now the emperor who was supported by Liu Yu, but no matter how it is said, it can be regarded as the legal lord of a country, and this lord of a country is competing with other women, Qi'er's mentality will definitely change. Liu Yu didn't want to propose to officially marry Li Sha'er into the palace at this eventful time, but he still had to wait until the power in his hands stabilized and the court was under his control.
"Madame, if not to blame." Liu Yu smiled and said, "I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that you would think too much, but now it seems that some things are still open and honest, and it will be bad to wait for gossip to come." ”
Xu Xuanzhu smiled and folded Liu Yu's clothes and said, "The husband is too careful. ”
"One more thing, ma'am, who do you think is suitable to lead the army to the south? It can't be too public, and the court can't take out too much silver to fight this battle, so it has to save money and get things done. In the past few days, this matter has been bothering me, and it is really difficult to sleep. ”
"In this world, apart from the husband, who else has such a ability?"
Liu Yu smiled ashamedly and said, "I'm not suitable." Now the situation in Chang'an City has been decided, and I have been the whole person all of a sudden, many people are waiting for the opportunity to retaliate with hatred, if I leave, there must be chaos in Chang'an City. Now Qi'er is still an unenlightened girl, and she still doesn't understand the importance of many things. ”
Xu Xuanzhu smiled: "Wouldn't it be nice to take Qi'er with you?" ”
Liu Yu looked stunned, Xu Xuanzhu seemed to be understatement, but it seemed to give him a big hint. Take Qi'er with you? That is to say, bringing all the women in his family to the battlefield, if this is the case, it can indeed allow him to take care of both sides. But a new problem arises, after all, the battlefield is not a place for women to stay, and if Qi'er and Han Xiaoting and Han Xiaoyi sisters follow the army, they will not be able to stand the long distance, and Xu Xuanzhu is pregnant, although she is only three months pregnant, she is not suitable for long-distance migration.
Liu Yu said: "Madame reminded me, I'll think about it again when I go back." ”
Xu Xuanzhu's "take Qi'er with you" made Liu Yu feel that it was not easy to do, but he always felt that he should be able to come up with a compromise solution, but he couldn't think of how to solve this problem for a while.
On the second day, Liu Yu asked this question when he met with Han Sheng, and Han Sheng was stunned and said, "You kid, are you going to let the Son of Heaven accompany you to go crazy?" ”
Originally, Han Sheng came to ask for the change of the yuan on behalf of the officials, because after the new emperor ascended the throne, Liu Yu never mentioned this matter at all, so the era name at this time was still the second year of Qichang. Originally, the era name could also be planned at the end of the year, which was also Liu Yu's original idea, after all, Su Yan was still in power a few days ago this year, and now Su Yan has just changed his Zen position, which is really anxious.
But after Han Sheng heard that Liu Yu was going to go on an expedition, he put down the change of Yuan or something.
In Han Sheng's opinion, Liu Yu's way of leading the troops to fight is very crazy, and he is simply imaginative and does not follow common sense, such a madman, it is just a matter of going crazy by himself, if he takes the Son of Heaven out of Lu, it will be like sending the Son of Heaven to die. Su Yan also survived in Xuzhou City after nine deaths, and the thrill at that time was not enough to communicate with outsiders.
Liu Yu said: "I also hope that the affairs in the south will calm down for the time being, and we will deal with it in three and five years." But now it is obvious that the power of the south does not give the court a chance, and they want to take advantage of the time when the tiger is napping to grab the territory to oppose the court, and if they are not repaired at this time, it will make other people think that the court is at the end of the road, so they can't help it. If this development continues, the flag of the southern Xinjiang of the Dashun Dynasty will have to change color.
"Then you shouldn't take the Son of Heaven to the south for an adventure." Han Sheng said, "Don't go, you don't know what the situation in Chang'an City is, if you leave now, who knows what will happen?" ”
"That's why I want to take the Son of Heaven with me."
Han Sheng didn't know how to persuade Liu Yu to stop, in his opinion, since Liu Yu had decided, he couldn't be shaken, so he just stated the benefits and said, "You have to think about it carefully." ”
Liu Yu didn't bother with Han Sheng about this matter anymore, and what Han Sheng said was indeed what he was worried about.
Qi'er is with the army, there are too many inconveniences, and the trick of driving the expedition is not suitable, which is contrary to the original intention of handling the affairs of southern Xinjiang in a low-key manner. At present, the strength of all parties in southern Xinjiang is also the cornerstone of the imperial court to maintain the stability of the territory, and this battle may not be fought.
As soon as Han Sheng was sent away, Sui Yu came, and she also brought a list of salt taxes and local taxes in the Jiangnan area from the previous year.
"Many local officials have privately collected taxes ranging from the next two to five years, and the local government has complained deeply. And these officials did not report to the court truthfully, and a lot of excess money and money and food were embezzled by them, and they have not been able to find out the details until now. ”
Liu Yu nodded, what Sui Yu said, Xu Xuanzhu also mentioned it to him. The poverty of the imperial court does not mean that the Dashun Dynasty is poor, let alone that the officials are poor. The officials of the Great Shun Dynasty were all rich and flowing, which was caused by the system.
Liu Yu suddenly had a bold idea, and for a while he really wanted to shout twice.
"The imperial court will soon send a messenger to investigate the financial and tax issues in Jiangnan, so Miss Sui doesn't have to worry too much." (To be continued......)
