Chapter 75: The Feast (I)
Gu Mingzhu lifted the curtain and noticed that there was someone in the car, she moved a little sluggish, and she was very sleepy, and dropped the curtain.
Xu Jue sat next to the wall of the car, his eyes closed.
Gu Mingzhu remembered that he pretended to be drunk in the past, and said, "Did you drink too much today?" ”
Xu Jue snorted and said, "Drink too much, what?" Want to do something wrong to me? ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled a little in his eyes: "Are you looking forward to it?" Or are you looking forward to it? ”
Xu Jue smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Don't wave, let's get down to business." ”
Xu Jue stopped laughing and said: "Chifeng and Concubine Ling of the Ministry of War secretly cuckolded the emperor, and it was a big crime to kill his head when this matter was spread, but he still took the risk of having a private meeting with Concubine Ling tonight and gave him a bottle of medicine primer, what do you think?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Since it is a medicine primer, it must be something that affects the whole body, either on oneself or on others." ”
Xu Jue groaned slightly, combing through the recent events in the palace, and remembered one thing: "My informant in the palace once reported an incident, the weather was very hot during this time, so the concubine made some soup to relieve the heat every other day and sent it to the imperial study in person, and the other concubines in the palace only regarded her as pleasing and secretly laughing, could it be related to today's medicine primer?" ”
Gu Mingzhu thought about it, it was really possible, and said: "If this is the case, their goal is to leave the dynasty, what is their purpose?" ”
"I have ordered someone to keep an eye on Chifeng, and if he has any abnormalities, he will come and report me at any time."
Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly: "At present, the situation is clear. ”
……
Two days later, the emperor was ill and stopped the early dynasty.
After the imperial doctor's consultation, the emperor's condition was announced: he was infected with wind and cold.
At the same time, because of the policy of increasing taxes, there are voices in various places, with Chizhou being the most moving.
Chizhou Zhizhou's excerpts were reported every three days, but because no one approved them, they were all pressed in the imperial study.
It was because of such a delay that something happened in Chizhou.
The reason was that when the household tax was increased, the officers and soldiers ordered a peasant household to pay the tax, and the household said that it would be delayed for two days, and the officers and soldiers agreed, but the officers and soldiers went out with the front foot, and the man on the back foot went out with the silver money, and just happened to bump into the officers and soldiers who came out of the leading family.
When the officers and soldiers saw that he was carrying a money bag in his hand, they felt that they had been tricked, and they forcibly expropriated it that season, but that night, the man's father died because he did not drink the medicine.
This matter fermented quickly, and it spread all over the eighteen townships, the man had been mediocre all his life, and he had long wanted to die for a hundred, and because he was thinking about his old and sick father, he was strong enough to hold on, and as soon as his father died, the man had no head, and the next day he took his father's body and hanged himself in front of the Zhizhou Mansion.
As soon as the news spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, no one will delve into what happened at the beginning, the people are all spreading it, and they are all saying that the court will levy it and force people to death without money.
The people's grievances, which had been accumulated for a long time because of the household tax, broke out in this way.
Some of the people came forward to overthrow the corrupt imperial court, and used Chizhou and Fucheng as a basis to accept a large number of rebels, and in just half a month, more than 20,000 people have joined in, forming an uprising.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Rebellions of varying degrees have emerged in various places, some of which have been suppressed, and some of which have been forced to wander to the mountains.
The governor's mansions in various places should be overwhelmed, and they have asked the imperial court to send troops to suppress bandits.
The royal study is like snowflakes.
Soon, the palace posted a list and recruited famous doctors from all over the world.
In September, autumn begins.
Ge Baoxue lay on the bed and resigned as the commander of the Yulin Army, and the position of commander was vacant.
Another night.
Today, Ge Baoxue hosted a banquet in the Thirteenth Garden, and Gu Xiurong and his sister participated.
When Gu Xiurong came, several people had already drunk a jar of wine, and when they saw Gu Xiurong, who was late, they couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiurong, Xiurong, you are late today, punish yourself with three cups!" ”
Gu Xiurong arched his hands: "The Great Commander forgives the sins, the next official is late, and the adults also forgive me, I will punish myself, punish myself." ”
Ge Baoxue's eyes were full of appreciation and love.
Everyone saw Gu Mingzhu standing behind him, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Gu is also here, sit down." ”
Two people were seated.
Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Disturb everyone." ”
"Don't bother, it's the first time we've sat at a table like this, Gu Jiang doesn't praise you much on weekdays, but when I see it today, it's really a sinking fish and a goose."
Gu Mingzhu nodded at the person who spoke, and Gu Xiurong said, "This is Cen Shen, the deputy general of the Yulin Army." ”
He introduced in turn: "This is the commander, next to the deputy general Han Cheng, the squire of the military department Chu Xiao, and the two cavalry captains of the Yulin Army. ”
"Mingzhu has seen the commander, he has seen Vice General Cen and Vice General Han, he has seen Lord Chu, and he has seen the two captains."
"Miss Gu is fine."
Cen Shen on the side looked at her, and Gu Mingzhu smiled at him.
Cen Shen was looked at by her crisply, as if she was a little shy.
Several men laughed, and Chu Xiao quipped: "Yo, his face is still red......"
"Go, go, don't make fun of me."
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Everyone drank wine, and after three rounds of drinking, the captain of the cavalry of the Yulin Army took out the gadgets he was carrying, and said, "Brothers, I got an interesting thing from the vendor a few days ago, you can take a look." ”
He poured a box of thumb-sized pieces of bamboo onto the table.
"The name of this thing is called Thirteen Zhang, and this name is similar to the Thirteen Gardens......
The rider explained in detail the gameplay of the thirteen cards, and Ge Bao became interested and said, "Yes, you guys drink, let's touch it." ”
One table was divided into two, one table continued to drink, and the other table surrounded Ge Baoxue, Chu Xiao, Gu Xiurong, and Cen Shen.
"How old?" Ge Bao touched the card in his hand and asked with a smile.
Gu Xiurong looked down at the cards in his hand and said, "Today's Great Commander is the east, you have the final say." ”
"A small bet on pleasure, then a handful of ten taels." Ge Baoxue took the lead and played a bird.
Chu Xiao took a look, hit Zhang Dong, and said, "Yo, the commander is good." ”
Ge Baoxue is also a fun-loving master on weekdays, and he said: "You have to lose today as pants." ”
"Don't scare me, Grand Commander."
Gu Xiurong played a card.
When it was Cen Shen's turn, he laughed with the three of them, stretched out his hand to touch the cards, was stunned, and then laughed and pushed the cards: "I'm sorry everyone, Xiaojiu, look, is this what you said." ”
The rider took a closer look, slapped his thigh, and sighed: "The lieutenant is so lucky!" ”
The three of them all looked at the cards he pushed down, and Ge Baoxue scolded with a smile: "You rabbit boy...... Today, the God of Wealth sat with you. ”
The four of them grinned and shuffled their cards.
Ge Baoxue sighed while playing cards: "I will step down immediately, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you a few times, and I am really reluctant to get along with you all these years." ”
Chu Xiao said: "The will in this palace has not been made, and you will still be the commander for a day." ”
"It's really old...... Hey! Ge Bao learned to chat and play cards, received the cards in front of him, and said: "The old injury has been very painful these days, and the family has to prepare decoction medicine every day." ”
"Madame is virtuous."
