Lan Yu obviously had already communicated with Xiao Yu, and had already prepared, so he took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying: "The establishment of the capital command envoy has long been an old precedent in the northwest to follow, but the governor, governor, and chief military officer are abolished, and the power of the governor is attributed to the three divisions, and the power of the general army is attributed to the commander of the envoy, and the political envoy becomes the actual governor of a state, but in this way, there are too many feudal officials, which is not conducive to the central control of the imperial court." ”

Xiao Yu thought about it for a while and said calmly: "After several wars, the establishments of various places have been almost destroyed, and everything is in ruins. Jiangnan don't talk about it first, only say Jiangbei, start from the northwest, here is vast and sparsely populated, Hanoi can be merged into Shaanxi, Xihe Prefecture into Xiliang Prefecture, Yuzhou, Shuzhou and Qizhou are large states with large populations, and remain unchanged for the time being, the first line of the north is merged into Yanzhou, and the rest are classified into Zhili Prefecture and Huizhou, and the area under the jurisdiction of the imperial court has become the land of eight states and two capitals. ”

Xiao Yu continued: "To prevent the trend of becoming a feudal town, where the chief officials of the three divisions are changed every six years, and to prevent the harm of the officials, it is necessary to re-investigate the officials, but these two things are in the future, and it is generally necessary to wait for a few more years, and then start after the situation is stable, and now it is just a rainy day." ”

Every time there is an innovation, whether it is presided over by the prime minister or implemented by the emperor, it will encounter unimaginable huge resistance, and even a good end, but Xiao Yu is different, Xiao Yu is in a position similar to changing the dynasty, the previous successive wars of all parties have already broken the entire Jiangbei to pieces, and most of those deep-rooted vested interests have been seriously injured in the continuous war, or even quietly destroyed, and it is difficult to set off any storms. If this empire is a building, Xiao Yu is not trying to rebuild anything, but to break the old one, and then build a new one on the original site. The great change in the world is the trend of the times, the gate valve does not agree, then step on the door valve, the reader does not agree, then break their backbone, and those who go against the trend have only a dead end.

This "small court meeting" lasted until the afternoon when it was dissolved, mainly to finalize a series of directions for the military and political reform, and then the cabinet and the metropolitan governor's office would submit a detailed statement after discussing the government, and send it to Xiao Yuzhu for approval.

After dealing with these political affairs, Xiao Yu did not go to Lin Yinping, but changed into a regular clothes, took Lin Han out of Wanshou Garden, and went straight to the Eastern Capital.

This time, he plans to revisit the eastern capital of the past.

The reason why he didn't take Lin Yinping with him was Xiao Yu's little caution that was not humane to outsiders, just said that this Qiutai, it would be harmless for the regent to go there, but if the queen went, what kind of system would it be?

When Xiao Yu and Lin Han came to the Eastern Capital City, it was almost dusk, and the people represented by Qiutai had begun to prepare to do business.

can be regarded as a medium-sized family in the eastern capital, and if it is changed to another place, it will be a first-class noble family. Especially this Wuyi Lane, there is a Wuyi Lane in the east, and there is also a Wuyi Lane in Jiangdu. Jiangdu's Wuyi Lane is a high-profile family, and Wuyi Lane in the Eastern Capital is a powerful minister, and Xiao Yu's maternal family, the Fang family, is famous for having a mansion in Wuyi Lane in the Eastern Capital and Jiangdu.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the door, did not rush forward to knock on the door, seemed to be a little hesitant, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

As long as it is not a formal occasion, Lin Han, as Xiao Yu's brother-in-law, is far less serious than when he faces Xiao Yu, at this time he stands behind Xiao Yu and chuckles: "Brother-in-law, look at you like this, it seems that there is an old man here." But if you really have an old friend, you shouldn't bring me with you. ”

Xiao Yu looked at the door and said softly, "Who has no youth? Do you think I was a chick before I met your sister?"

Lin Han's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was full of incredulity: "Really let me say it right?"

Xiao Yu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Lin Han hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will be tight-lipped and will never say half a word to my sister, after all, I also know your suffering, brother-in-law, such a big regent doesn't even have a maid in the room, although my sister is good-looking, no matter how good-looking she is, she can't stand it for more than ten years." ”

Seeing that Lin Han was getting more and more out of shape, Xiao Yu opened his hand and said angrily: "Since you know my suffering, then you can persuade your sister and help my brother-in-law get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, okay?"

Lin Han sneered, "That, brother-in-law, you also know, my sister, who has taken care of me since I was a child, I am still stunned when I see her now, she said one I dare not say two, she asked me to go east I dare not go west, she asked me to let the horses I dare not shepherd sheep, she ......"

Xiao Yu waved his hand impatiently to stop Lin Han's endless noise, "If you want to show your loyalty, go to your sister's watch, don't show up in front of me." ”

Lin Han quietly rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "You yourself are not the same as me." ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Yu suddenly raised his voice.

Lin Han hurriedly smiled and said, "I said brother-in-law, you are a good person, and my sister met you to have such a great blessing." ”

Xiao Yu snorted lightly and said, "The reason why I brought you here is just in case, if your sister hears any rumors, you have to testify to me, do you hear?"

Lin Han nodded again and again and reassured: "I heard it, brother-in-law can rest assured." ”

Just as the two were talking, there was a squeak, and the closed dark door slowly hit from the inside, and a woman curled out of it, and when she saw Xiao Yu, she was stunned in place.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and did not speak.

Lin Han lowered his eyebrows, quietly withdrew a few steps back, and then kept thinking in his heart, you have a private meeting with your old lover, you don't dare to let my sister know, you dare to let me be a substitute ghost, if my sister knows, she will definitely punish me for the crime of concealing and not reporting, but if I tell my sister, I don't know how to be put in small shoes by you in the future, why am I so miserable, and I want to be sandwiched between you and my wife.

Xiao Yu didn't feel the deep resentment of his brother-in-law, and most of his mind was focused on the woman in front of him.

Fifteen years ago, Xiao Yu was the little grandfather of the Anguo Mansion, the grandson of Lord Shoufu, and the woman in front of him was Miss Houfu.

The two are of the same age and have the same family background, and Xiao Yu's maternal grandfather's family and the woman's family in front of him both live in Wuyi Lane, and getting acquainted is a matter of course.

In the twilight, the two looked at each other in pairs, he was no longer the immature teenager of the year, and she was not the cardamom girl of the year.

After the woman was silent for a moment, she did not smile as Xiao Yu expected, but instead made a blessing salute with a cold expression, and said slowly: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Regent." ”

Xiao Yu looked at the woman and said softly, "Are you okay?"

A faint sarcastic smile appeared on the woman's face, "I wonder if Your Highness wants to hear the truth or a lie?"

Xiao Yu said: "Naturally, it is true. ”

The woman's face was expressionless, and she said in a cold tone: "It's not good, not long ago, the adults of the Secret Guard Mansion just captured my father and plundered my house, and now there is only this empty mansion left in my house, but there is not even a single servant." ”

Xiao Yu noticed that the woman was holding a small bag that should be filled with rice, he lowered his eyes, was silent, and then waved his hand.

Behind him, Lin Han hurriedly withdrew from this dim alley.

The sky is getting dark, and the woman gradually can't see the face of the person in front of her clearly, in fact, from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want to see this person clearly, after many years of reunion, it may not be a warm vein, and it may be a stranger.

Xiao Yu retracted his gaze, his expression and tone regained his former calmness, and said indifferently: "On the side of the secret guard, I will inform them and let them release them, and I will allocate another 10,000 taels of silver from my private treasury, which can be regarded as the end of the matter of the year." ”

The woman bit her lip tightly and stubbornly did not speak.

She knew that he had married, and his wife was a princess of the grassland, and the family had a big business, the reason why he was able to defeat Xu Lin, the grassland army at that time, was one of the dowries of Her Royal Highness the princess.

Such a Xiao Yu is no longer the Xiao Yu of the past.

Some people live in the present and die in memory.

Some people die in the present and live in memory.

For her, Xiao Yu, who took her all over the streets and alleys of Dongdu, Xiao Yu, who quarreled with her, and Xiao Yu, who was determined to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, had already died, died in that unusually cold winter, and died in the vast snow mixed with dazzling blood.

Xiao Yu suddenly sighed helplessly and said, "If there is anything, you can go to Lin Han and take care of yourself in the future." ”

Xiao Yu turned around and walked out of this Wuyi Alley.

It's already lit up outside.
