Chapter 92 Guo Youzhi = Divorce Lawyer

Concubine Wu scolded Guo Youyi for a while, but in fact, she was scolding Liu Hou with a gun and a stick, and the so-called finger Huai scolding Sang is what it means. As a courtier, what can be done, but to bow his head like a quail, and let this dead old woman roar and spit in front of him, one of the most important rules of being a man is: admit if you scold, and stand firm when you fight.

Although Guo Youzhi was dissatisfied, even if the other party was exiled, it was a concubine, not that his courtier could talk back, and besides, he didn't think about talking back, because he wanted to work but couldn't help, and he wanted to help the emperor save his reputation.

Finally waited for the dead old woman to finish squirting, Guo Youzhi arched his hand and said: "What the concubine said is very true, and the minister will go back and report to the emperor truthfully." Then he withdrew.

After he said goodbye, he did not immediately return to Liu Hou, but planned to find a place to wander around, delay for a while, and give the dead old woman a chance to leave the capital, and then go to see the emperor and sue him, but the concubine refused to hand over the Guan silver bottle.

This is Guo Youzhi's careful thinking, even if the emperor jumps like thunder, there is no way, everyone is far away, will he still send people to chase him? However, he will definitely fall into the impression that he is ineffective, and maybe he will be punished by the emperor, so he will be punished, for the sake of the emperor's reputation, it is worth making this small sacrifice.

After Liu Hou talked to Zhang Bao about the reorganization of the army, he felt tired and hungry, so he went to sleep after eating something. When he got up the next day, he had completely forgotten about closing the silver bottle, until Guo Youzhi came to report to him.

Guo Youzhi first reported to him about Wu Ban's surrender and recovery of the "Ministry of Industry", and asked him for instructions on his arrangements for the "Ministry of Industry". Liu Hou asked Guo Youzhi to send a holy decree to transfer Dong Yun back, and still put him in charge of the "Ministry of Industry".

In view of the fact that the current war situation is not optimistic, and Wei and Wu have obtained the secret of firearms, it is very likely that the three countries will fall into the whirlpool of arms race in the future, so Liu Hou decided to adjust the production of firearms to double the original.

This double is not twice as much as it is now, and now the entire "Ministry of Industry" has stopped all other industries except firearms, and is fully engaged in the production of firearms, and the entire output is almost five times that of the original.

Liu Hou now wants to reduce production to twice the level before the "Ministry of Industry" was taken over by Wu Ban, and then the remaining productive forces will still be used to produce other industrial products.

Liu Hou was well aware of the importance of economic construction, and if he did not develop the economy, he would be doomed to bankruptcy if he blindly engaged in an arms race.

Liu Hou, who is well versed in this truth, will certainly not make such a mistake. In his words, one hand to make money, the other hand to grasp the military, two hands, both hands to be hard.

After discussing the arrangements of the "Ministry of Industry" with Guo Youzhi, more than an hour had passed, and at this time Guo Youzhi said slowly that he went to Concubine Wu to ask for the result of closing the silver bottle. When Liu Hou heard this, he really jumped like thunder, and scolded Mrs. Wu in the air, and then said to Guo Youzhi:

"Why are you only returning now? Where are they now? Go and chase them back. ”

Guo Youzhi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, last night the minister wanted to repay His Majesty, but I heard that His Majesty had slept peacefully, and the minister wanted to work hard for days and never had a good rest, so he didn't disturb His Majesty, thinking that it was not too late to report to His Majesty today." ”

"It's not too late! Tell me, where are they now? Liu Hou said angrily.

"They took a large transport ship of our army and prepared to go down the river to Jingzhou first, and then turn to Lingnan. Their boat last night, the minister estimated that he had already passed the Hejiang Pavilion. "Guo Youzhi.

"You, you, you ......" Liu Hou turned his head to stare at Guo Youzhi, gritted his teeth and said, "You say, did you do it on purpose?" ”

This is too easy to guess, mobilizing a transport ship to transport Concubine Wu and the two princes, who else can do it except Guo Youzhi? He obviously did not complete the task, leaving Guan Yinhua behind, but he mobilized a transport ship to send people away overnight, and his purpose was clearly revealed.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wu and the two princes are kings, a certain is a courtier, the concubine has a life, and the minister has to obey. Majesty, they want to go, the minister can't take a knife to their necks and force them not to go, please Majesty, the minister really didn't mean it, there is really no way. Guo Youzhi said with a look of grievance.

"Hmph, what bullshit monarch and minister, do you think I will believe you? Will you, Master Guo, be a pedantic person? Do you care about these three degraded members of the royal family? is full of awe-inspiring righteousness, but in fact, it is full of loopholes. It seems that you have hardened your wings, and you don't take me as the emperor in your eyes anymore, don't you? Liu Hou feigned anger.

If I had changed to someone else, I would have been half frightened to death when I heard the emperor say such a thing. However, Guo Youzhi was ready to be beaten by the emperor, and he followed Liu Hou for a long time, knew his character well, and knew that the emperor was not really angry, so he was not very afraid. He just arched his hand and said:

"Majesty, please forgive your sins, please calm your anger. If Weichen intercepts Miss Guan, I am afraid that your reputation will be damaged by the emperor, and it is likely to leave a name for eternity. Fortunately, Wechen didn't do it. That's not a bad thing. ”

"Humph! Do you think I care about this reputation? Those who become big things are not informal, and this little bullshit is not worth mentioning in my eyes. I will surely achieve great things through the ages in the future, and the history books will only record my great achievements, who dares to chew my tongue. Liu Hou waved his hand.

"Your Majesty is now the king of a country and a model for all people, and there are some things that you should pay attention to. Besides, there are some things that need to be methodical, as long as the method is right, it does not have to be forced. ”

Seeing Liu Hou's insistence on closing the silver bottle, Guo Youzhi sighed in his heart, he also knew that the emperor wanted to accept the silver bottle as a concubine, and it was not all bad, the advantage was that he could get the full support of Guan Gong, one of the two giants of Shu, which was very helpful for consolidating the emperor's dominance in Shu, so he changed his tone and showed that he had a way.

As soon as he heard Guo Youzhi's euphemism, Liu Hou knew that he had a way to solve this problem, so he immediately restrained his anger and said, "Mr. Guo, if you have a clever plan, don't hide it, come quickly." ”

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wu, they must pass through Jingzhou on this trip."

"And then?"

"Jingzhou is garrisoned by Guan Gong."

"So what?"

"Guan Gong is the father of Miss Guan. Since ancient times, marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, three books and six rituals are indispensable. May I ask Miss Guan to marry Huang Zili, did Gong Guan agree? ”

"Oh? Does Mr. Guo want his second uncle to come out? ”

"That's right, Guan Gong is the most suitable, and he will intercept Miss Guan, who dares to make irresponsible remarks? As long as Guan Gong is against it, this marriage is illegal, so that Miss Guan can regain her free body, and it will be a matter of Guan Gong's words who she will marry again. Guo Youzhi stroked his goatee and said.

"Okay, even if you pass the test this time, next time you dare to disobey my Shengming, I must make you look good. Stand down. Although Guo Youzhi offered a clever plan, Liu Hou still viciously drove him away.

Guo Youzhi This is indeed a good strategy, by Guan Gong, he can completely abolish the marriage in legal theory, and then Guan Gong will be the master to marry his daughter to himself, which is completely legal, so that there is no need to be afraid of gossiping about people, and there is no need to worry about affecting the emperor's reputation, let alone worrying about leaving any stains in the history books.

Liu Hou felt that Guo Youzhi was like those lawyers who specialized in divorce lawsuits in later generations, and he was an ace barrister, good at exploiting various legal loopholes, and he could overturn a fait accompli marriage with a light please.

After Guo Youzhi left, Liu Hou immediately called someone to fetch the four treasures of the study, personally wrote a letter to Guan Gong, explained the matter here to him, and focused on saying that Concubine Wu took away Guan Yinhua, and he had already sent his right and left hand Guo Youzhi to ask for someone from Concubine Wu, but Concubine Wu's attitude was extremely tough, and Guo Youzhi couldn't help her.

Then he was going to chase the person back in person, but Concubine Wu took a boat overnight, so she couldn't go to recover it in person. At the end of the letter, Guan Gong was also instructed to dissolve the marriage between Guan Yinhua and Liu Li on the grounds that the marriage between Guan Yinhua and Liu Li was not ordered by their parents.

After writing the letter, he sent his own soldiers to Jingzhou by fast boat to hand it over to Guan Gong. Although the messenger may not be able to catch up with Concubine Wu and their ship, after Concubine Wu and the others arrive in Jingzhou, they will inevitably rest for a few days before continuing to go south, so there will be enough time for Guan Gong to work.

After retrieving the "Ministry of Industry" and solving the matter of Guan Yinhua by the way, Liu Hou was in a good mood, and he wanted to solve the matter of the eunuchs and maids in the palace by the way.

Liu Hou asked Huang Hao to find all the palace people, find a vacant land in the imperial garden, and gather everyone. All the eunuchs and palace maids looked at the new emperor with blank eyes, and they were all worried about their future and fate.

"Hello everyone, I am your new emperor, thank you for serving the royal family for so many years, thank you for your silent dedication, and dedicate your youth and diligence to the royal family. I believe that everyone is very concerned about your way out, and I will announce your way out now. Liu Hou stood on a rockery, condescendingly and loudly began to lecture the palace maids and eunuchs.

All the palace people, whether eunuchs or palace maids, were stunned when they heard the emperor's words, and the emperor would actually say words of thanks to them? Isn't there a problem with your ears? Otherwise, there is a hallucination, yes must be an illusion, maybe the desire in your heart is too strong, and the guide zhì hallucinates. However, the emperor's words shook them again.

"I now declare that you can decide to stay at your own discretion, and if you want to leave the palace, I will give you some silver taels, and give you some land, although this money is not enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime, but at least enough to sustain you for a few years. When the time comes, as long as you work hard and take good care of the fields, you will be able to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you want to leave the palace, go to Huang Hao to sign up. Liu Hou pointed at Huang Hao and said.

Now there are abandoned fields everywhere, and it is not difficult to reward some fields for these people, and this reward is said to be a benefit to the palace people, and it is better to give it to the government and Liu Hou himself. Nowadays, the general situation in the world is that there are few people in the land, and the rulers of various countries are eager to find people to cultivate the fields.

As long as you are willing to cultivate and pay taxes, the government is very willing to give you some land free of charge, and even many places have introduced a series of preferential policies such as tax exemption for many years, renting farm tools to cultivate cattle seeds, etc., in order to make the local area prosper again.
