Xuzhou Taishou Mansion back in the main hall, the plaque of "clear inspection" hangs high, a solemn atmosphere.

Under the plaque, Yang Shao was dressed in a flying golden python robe, sitting on the main seat with his head crooked, and beside him, Gu Yufu's body was straight and his chin was sitting upright.

Fu Huairen was in the hall, talking endlessly about the tax reform in Xuzhou, and suddenly saw Yang Shao raise his hand to try the rim of the cup, and said lightly: "This tea is cold, change a cup for Mrs." ”

This is beating him, talking too much nonsense, Fu Huairen immediately stopped his mouth with amusement.

"Fu Huairen, you are from the household department and Zhang Yizhou is the one who is promoted." Yang Shao really said slowly, "If you have any difficulties, you can talk to this king directly, and you don't have to go around in circles." ”

"Lord Wang, as you expected before, the difficulty of tax reform in Xuzhou is difficult for these big families." Fu Huairen showed a hesitant look on his face, "Minister...... The lowly ones are well versed in the tax laws, but they block them in groups, and in contrast, the lowly positions are really weak. ”

"The sky in the north has changed, how can this group of people be tolerated, and the fantasy dragon will not suppress the head snake?" Yang Shao sneered, "Who is taking the lead?" ”

When Fu Huairen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "The Lu family in the south of the city, the Zhang family in the north of the city and the Liu family in Pei County, these three families have a big business, and they have repeatedly resisted taxes on their cunning. ”

"Knowing who the culprit is, then why didn't you punish it?" Yang Shao leaned down and asked with a chill in his eyes, "Fu Huairen, this king appointed you as the Taishou of Xuzhou, did he invite you to come for tea?" ”

The tone was pressing, Gu Yufu sat next to Yang Shao, and couldn't help but sweat for Fu Huairen at this time. She turned her head slightly and glanced at Yang Shao, and saw that his clear jawline was slightly raised, condensing a cold and sharp edge.

As if sensing the sight next to him, Yang Shao suddenly sat up straight, coughed lightly and said, "Say, why didn't you hold you accountable." ”

"The Zhang family and the Liu family, both of whom have sent people to collect taxes, they promised well, but they are still in arrears." Fu Huairen, who had been silent, finally relaxed at this time, and raised his head from the ground, "Those who are in arrears of taxes will be punished with a rod, and I have sent people to arrest them, but they rely on their wealth and hire many poor people to be punished for themselves. ”

This is really cunning and hateful, Yu Fu muttered in her heart, and listened to Yang Shao continue to ask: "Don't avoid the important and trivial, why didn't the Lu family arrest it?" ”

"The Lu family ......" Fu Huairen hesitated for a moment, and said uneasily, "His family has some connections with the court, the eldest son of the Lu family married the niece of Lord Tang Shengzong three years ago, and married a scholar of Tang University. ”

"Tang Shengzong, the old minister of the first king, his daughter is the side concubine of the first king, and his granddaughter is a little older, so he gave King Ming as a concubine." Yang Shao turned his head closer and whispered to Yufu, "This old guy is Shen Yanzong's person." ”

"But judging from the list, the Lu family is the biggest gate valve in Xuzhou, and the thief should be captured first." Yufu looked at him embarrassedly, "Also, don't stick so close." ”

Don't stick so close?

Yang Shao choked for a while, so he had to sit up straight and said bluntly: "The relatives of the university scholars are not cured?" There are thousands of officials in the imperial court, and everyone has relatives, and in the future, the officials will protect each other, and my Ming tax law is not going to be a child's play! ”

"Lord Wang! If we forcibly arrest these three families, they will dare to unite and organize the local scholars in Xuzhou to riot together. Fu Huairen listened to Yang Shao's meaning, and hurriedly admonished, "Xuzhou is initially decided, if the situation is accidentally expanded in the process, then the trouble will be even greater!" ”

"Does this king seem to be a person who is afraid of trouble?" Yang Shao's eyes were cold, "The more you lead, the more you can't condone it!" Fu Huairen, if you don't dare, this king will send hussars to come. ”

"Think twice!" Fu Huairen was so anxious that he couldn't knock down and said, "The minister is not for his own career, the people of Xuzhou have been in war for a long time and have suffered a lot, but they really can't afford to toss like this!" ”

Yang Shao was furious and was about to attack, but he heard a warm female voice ring in his ears.

"Lord Wang."

Yang Shao was stunned for a moment, and only realized after a while that it was Gu Yufu who was calling him.

"Lord Wang, I think what Master Fu said is not unreasonable." It is not a taboo-free occasion in private, for some reason, Yu Fu looked at Yang Shao at this time, and unconsciously burned his ears as he spoke, "The Xuzhou War is decided, if the city is full of storms, it is indeed not good for the people's livelihood." ”

not only thought he was close, but also called the prince seriously, and he looked like he was doing business. Yang Shao was inexplicably aggrieved in his heart, and he didn't want to correct Yu Fu's attitude towards him: "Brother Shao doesn't want to, can you have a good plan?" ”

As soon as he said this, not to mention that Gu Yufu made a big red face, even Fu Huairen opened his mouth and quickly lowered his head.

"Lord Wang, according to what Master Fu said, the Lu family has nothing to do with the wife of the eldest prince of Lu." Yu Fu said, while glaring at Yang Shao with red cheeks, "The concubine thought, can you take a soft outside and hard inner method, first by the concubine to come forward to feast the ladies of the family, or enjoy the flowers, or taste tea, test the attitude of each family to the tax reform, and then move it with affection, know it with reason, when the time comes, it is really not possible, and then coerce it, it can be regarded as a salute before the soldiers." ”

"What the princess said is very true!" Without waiting for Yang Shao to speak, Fu Huairen's eyes were already bright, and he said again and again, "Compared with directly using force, the princess's Hongmen banquet is four or two thousand catties!" The status of the lady is so precious, and anyone who is a little interested in the family will understand the deep meaning of this. ”

"This ......" Yang Shao hesitated, and did not immediately agree for a while.

"Lord Wang." Gu Yufu called him softly, "But what's wrong?" ”

"Madame's plan is a clever plan, it's just ......" Yang Shao frowned, glanced at Fu Huairen, raised his hand sideways to cover it, and whispered to Yu Fu, "Those scoundrel ladies, what if there are a few, what if you suffer a loss?" ”

"What are you afraid of, can you still eat me?" Yu Fu smiled and touched his hand lightly, "If I can really avoid a big fight by myself, I will only be satisfied." ”

"Why don't I go with you?" Although Yang Shao was unconscious, his body was already closer, "If a woman uses the next three indiscriminate means, she is not cleaner than a man." ”

"It's not good, it's different when you go, it's tense, but it's not easy to talk." Yu Fu glanced at Fu Huairen, who was embarrassed, and hurriedly pushed him, "Don't mumble to me, how bad!" ”

Yang Shao hated and broke his intestines, and he grabbed Yu Fu's hand regardless of it, before he cleared his throat and said loudly: "The princess has a common heart, Fu Huairen, then prepare according to what Madame said." ”

Fu Huairen couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, so he hurriedly kowtowed his head and bowed his head and said yes.

The camp is not as good as the city, and it can be seen how distressed King Yang is for the princess, Fu Huairen invited three times and invited four times, and he did not mention that the princess and princess would go to the Taishou Mansion to live temporarily. Yang Shao really agreed, and he took the family out of the main courtyard again, and respectfully asked the two to move.

"Magpie's nest dove, I always feel bad." When Gu Yufu moved in, she was still very unpleasant.

Yang Shao had already thought of a way to deal with it: "The princess regent entertains the ladies of Xuzhou, and she can't hold a banquet in the tent." ”

"Well, too." Yu Fu smiled shyly, and suddenly died like a peach blossom, dizzying Yang Shao's eyes.

The flower-viewing banquet was scheduled for the afternoon after the fifth day, and dozens of invitations to bronzing Feifeng were posted, which immediately exploded into the biggest news in Xuzhou and even Jiangzuo.

That is the wife of Yang Shao, the hero of the troubled times, not to mention the princess regent who killed bandits and rescued people before, and her reputation has long been spread. The people in Xuzhou City were all looking forward to this grand event for a while, and all the ladies of the family were looking forward to seeing the true face of the princess, and they were all nervous, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

On the day of the flower banquet, the sky was clear and clear, and dozens of pots of various flowers filled the garden of Xuzhou Taishou Mansion.

Inside the master bedroom.

Yang Shao held Shi Dai in his hand and was personally painting the thrush for his wife.

In the smooth bronze mirror, the white hibiscus-like beautiful face, embraced by the heavy collar of the gorgeous clothes, and the flying phoenix and golden dragon complement each other, not only did not give birth to a domineering attitude, but there was a kind of elegance out of the mud without staining, in Yang Shao's eyes, it was simply dignified and attractive.

Gu Yufu didn't seem to be satisfied, frowned slightly, looked left and right, and said, "Brother Shao, looking at this dress, I don't feel like myself anymore." And so many hairpins, too heavy, weigh people neck pain. ”

"Where is it not like? Light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate, and Fu'er is beautiful no matter what. Yang Shao couldn't hold back for a while, he had already put his hand around his wife's slender waist from behind, and buried his head in her neck, "Brother who looks, I can't hold it anymore......"

The maids who were waiting in the back were red and hot for a while, and they were embarrassed to look at it again.

Fortunately, Gu Yufu quickly pulled him away, and said solemnly: "It's almost uncorrect, put away your nonsense, it's important to get down to business!" ”

Yang Shao raised his eyebrows and hugged her again: "Don't worry, I'll leave later." ”

"But everyone is waiting for me." Yu Fu was puzzled, the expression of the person in front of her did not look like he was laughing.

Yang Shao smiled and said, "I just want them to wait." You are the princess regent, let them wait, and finally come calmly, it is your majesty. ”

Yufu came to her senses and nodded.

Yang Shao pretended to be public and private, and took the opportunity to bury his head in Yu Fu's neck socket again: "I'll wait for you here later, but I won't come forward." When it's time to get around, I'll come back from outside on horseback and take you out for a walk when the time comes. ”

Yu Fu sneered, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are we going then?" ”

"Does it matter where you go? As long as the two of us are together," Yang Shao kissed her neck, "where to go, not to go." ”

The two talked, waited for a while, and when the maidservant came to report again, all the ladies had already arrived, and they were all waiting for the princess in the garden, Yang Shao nodded and let Yufu go out.

Tan Yuru, A Jing and a few maidservants from the Taishou Mansion were also carefully dressed up and waited outside the door. Jiang Youhe also led the hussars to wait for him, and the regent princess set up a banquet, and the leader was ready to take it.

"Sister Yufu!" As soon as Tan Yuru saw Gu Yufu in gorgeous clothes, she pounced on her and looked at her, her eyes lit up with golden light, "You! You're so pretty! No, it can't be called beautiful, it's graceful and elegant, in short...... Amazing! ”

"Okay, okay, on this occasion today, even if we pretend, we naturally have to pretend." Gu Yufu smiled, took a deep breath, raised her head and held her hand, "Let's go, let's go now, we will meet those ladies of the family." ”
