Life is unpredictable, and no one can expect it.

This sentence is extremely suitable for Queen Luo, she originally thought that she was going to make room for the concubine, who knew that the concubine would be gagged with the adulterer, She not only took back the palace power, but was also given by the emperor's husband "When I bring the child over, I will be raised by you".

If she can get the custody of the future emperor of the Yu Dynasty, then she will definitely be able to be the queen mother comfortably in the future, as long as she lives past her husband, she will be extremely comfortable in the rest of her life, much happier than going back to her parents' house to be an old girl.

So Queen Luo was left behind by the big cake painted by Qin Shuyan, yes, she is so realistic.

But soon, Zheng Yao came back with a bitter face to report, and the child ran away.

Lu Ying sailed in a boat, like a dragon entering the sea, mortals can't catch up.

In addition, Lu Xiaoxuan said that she would go to Beijing to talk to the emperor and his wife after the war.

Queen Luo: Weak heart.jpg

No matter what, what they did before was to exchange the duke title with Lu Xiaoxuan for her only son, Lu Xiaoxuan was still fighting on the front line when she did this, so this matter is not authentic, Lu Xiaoxuan wants to ask them for an explanation, and the emperor and queen couple who still have a conscience are really a little afraid.

Lu Xiaoxuan's entry into Beijing this time is indeed aggressive, with a posture of "how can you use the title to buy the only son of my old Lu family".

This time the Xiangyang Mansion was defeated, forcing the Northern Meng to sue for peace, Lu Xiaoxuan, as a hero second only to Marshal Jiang Bai'an, and the Qiongya Lu family gave timely support when the emperor was subject to the troubles of the Huxiang Hao clan and was almost unable to send food to the front, so that Lu Xiaoxuan, the spokesperson of the Lu family in the court, completely became a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Similarly, the name Lu Xuan was also labeled as the "mainstay of the imperial party".

If the original Lu Xiaoxuan won a battle and was promoted to the knighthood, she would definitely be happy, but her son was about to be taken away, and it was very calm to be a mother who didn't directly copy the knife.

After entering Beijing, according to the rules, the generals and their personal soldiers had to camp outside the city and wait for the emperor to summon them.

Lu Xiaoxuan was the first courtier to be summoned.

After Jiang Bai'an heard this, although his heart was complicated, he also felt that Lu Xiaoxuan deserved this treatment, so he patted this good brother on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan didn't have the slightest joy on her face, she nodded to her colleagues expressionlessly, raised her eyebrows, and left.

Because she is one meter eight tall, strong in martial arts, and able to uproot the weeping willows, she has already won the title of the first fierce general of the Yu army.

"Commander Lu has a calm bearing, and he deserves to be him."

"In the end, he is a person who can command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is naturally comparable to an extraordinary man."

"Commander Lu has such an appearance and bearing that is rare in the world, I heard that he has been widowed for many years, there is only one son in the family, I don't know if there is any plan to continue the string, I have a sister to be in the boudoir, if Commander Lu is willing, I really want to ask him to be my sister-in-law."

"I have a daughter, who is about the same age as the boy of Commander Lu's family, it would be great if I could set a baby kiss."

Since Lu Xiaoxuan has the title of Duke of the country, and her face is too handsome, her marriage and love market in the Yu Dynasty has become a fragrant dumpling with golden light, and even Lu Ying has been targeted.

Lu Xiaoxuan followed Zheng Yao into the palace, thinking about how to express his dissatisfaction with his boss without losing his respect for his boss without dirty words, and when he really saw Emperor Cheng'an, he found that this person had no heart on his face, and his eyes were still full of strong grievances.

Mourning, complaining?

Before Lu Xiaoxuan could take a closer look, he heard Emperor Cheng'an's words.

"Your son's military salary is really hot to hold."

Lu Xiaoxuan's face was full of question marks, and Emperor Cheng'an took a deep breath and pointed to a pile of folds on the table.

"Look at it, it's all about sending troops to Qiongya Island."

Lu Xiaoxuan was confused, what's wrong with my family?

She stepped forward and flipped through the folds, first to see which minister was the money, and then to look at the content, the main purpose was to keep these guys who were hostile to Qiongya Island for some reason in mind, and then send the list back to her hometown for her father and son to guard against.

Then she found that the main content of these twists and turns was that the Lu family seized Qiongya Island and cultivated a large number of good people's land, which was morally corrupt and unsubordinate.

She asked the emperor: "What else did the Lu family do besides expanding the territory?" ”

If the land is only seized, at most the officials from Qiongya Island will express their dissatisfaction, but it is common for the landlords and wealthy families to embezzle each other, so it will not arouse fierce opposition from so many people.

Qin Shuyan rubbed his forehead, which had often hurt so much recently: "Your son has changed the tax." ”

Originally, after Emperor Cheng'an and Empress Luo finished the matter of Concubine Ga and King Wei, they were thinking together about how to persuade Lu Xiaoxuan to give them their son, but who knew that big things would come to them one after another.

First of all, the Yellow River was flooded, and the finances of the Northern Meng Dynasty were on the verge of collapse, and the Yu Dynasty army had food and salary to replenish the combat power after the outbreak of combat power, and the Xiangyang Mansion was taken down, so that the Northern Meng took the initiative to seek peace, which was the first big victory of the Yu Dynasty in territorial expansion after the death of Emperor Kailong, which was of great significance for strengthening the imperial authority and stabilizing the rule of the Qin family.

The Yu Dynasty was even able to ridicule Beimeng for this: "Those who have no mandate of heaven will be punished by heaven."

Before Emperor Cheng'an was happy, something happened on Qiongya Island.

Qiu Yu could figure out afterwards that Lu Ying's strategy to send military rations and take Qiongya Island was connected, and Emperor Cheng'an, who was set by Lu Ying, could naturally realize that he was torn off a piece of land by Lu Ying for 12,000 loads of food.

In fact, it's not too bad to get to this point, because Emperor Cheng'an originally wanted to raise Lu Ying, a smart child, under his knees, the smarter Lu Ying is, the happier he is, and if Lu Ying really takes over his class, then the meat on the Lu family's plate will be surnamed Qin sooner or later.

The more territory Lu Ying has, the more territory the next emperor of the Yu Dynasty can rule efficiently.

Qin Shuyan thought about it very much, no matter how Ying Ying tossed, as long as his surname was Qin, everything would be easy to do, and looking at Lu Ying's face that resembled Concubine Li, as well as her suspicious and sensitive personality, Qin Shuyan was extremely sure that Ying Ying was his father's grandson.

Even if this kid grows up and wants to usurp the throne, the uncle can open the city gate for him all the way, and directly issue an edict of succession when he enters the palace, giving his nephew a little shock from the uncle.

Since discovering that he couldn't have children, Qin Shuyan has become a Buddha in some ways.

But Lu Ying is still changing taxes on Qiongya Island...... This is going to kill the uncle.

Qin Shuyan let out a long sigh, and his face was divided into three points of joy and joy in picking up the treasure, and three points of regret in finding the complaint of Bao Tai Kengbo Why is this child not born to me.

Lu Xiaoxuan didn't expect this palette expression to really exist.

Qin Shuyan sighed: "Zhan Ying is really talented, he is divided into acres and served into acres, why didn't I expect such a trick?" ”

Changing the poll tax into a tax per acre, raising the commercial tax, eliminating the free levy and giving money to the levy in the future, and this money will be spread out to the mu tax and collected together, these are all practices that dig up the foundation of the interests of the landlords and gentry.

As an emperor, as soon as he saw the new tax system tossed out by Lu Ying, Qin Shuyan found the benefits of "cutting out middlemen who make the difference can allow the central government to get more taxes", as the emperor he was very moved, if he didn't know that his skills were not enough to deal with the civil officials, let alone break through the siege of these people to measure the world's acres, Qin Shuyan also wanted to do this......

However, there are also many smart people among the civil officials, since Lu Ying used tricks to make everyone think that the emperor sold Qiongya Island to the Lu family in exchange for the support of the Lu family, does the Lu family have the emperor's intention after the tax reform? Is it that after the success of the tax reform pilot on Qiongya Island, the emperor will promote this set of tax systems to the world?

Yes, they thought that the new tax system of Qiongya Island was thought up by Emperor Cheng'an!

The ministers were particularly excited, and every time they went to the court, a group of people played to Emperor Cheng'an with the upright face of "the official is loyal, dedicated to the people, and the loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from the world", saying that the Lu family is a chaotic minister and thief, and His Majesty must recruit them!

Is this going to Cheng'an Emperor to fight Qiongya Island? No! This is to force Emperor Cheng'an and the Lu family, as well as the division of the tax system implemented by the Lu family, to make Emperor Cheng'an promise that he will not change the tax system!

And just as Lu Ying expected, it was impossible for the emperor to add the enemy of the Lu family to himself when the Northern Meng and civil official groups were attacking, so he could only acquiesce that he was an ally of the Lu family, because he must not push the Yu army, which was already short of military pay and was not good at water warfare, into the big pit of naval war with the Lu family.

Qin Shuyan didn't think that the national fortune of the Yu Dynasty was too long, so he would not consume his army and court finances so much!

He could only admit "Ah, yes, yes, yes, I ceded Qiongya Island to the Lu family, and I also did the new tax system", so he was really confused and carried a bunch of pots for his nephew.

But the problem is that he hasn't done anything before, I'm sorry for Qiongya Island and Lu

It's a family thing!

He was so kind to his nephew, and he also promoted his mother to a duke, why did his nephew mess with him?

Uncle can't understand, uncle is so wronged!

After listening to the ins and outs, Lu Xiaoxuan found that the person with a weak heart had become herself.

When Yingying went to the front line to give her food and salary, she personally admitted that Emperor Cheng'an had a very good attitude towards him, and even gave him the proper salute when he saw the emperor......

Lu Xiaoxuan's mood was delicate, and even a little weirdly proud.

My son is really a superb sesame dumpling, even the emperor is in a pit for the sake of interests, no wonder he can leave such a thick family foundation for the Yu Dynasty in the future, but if he has a little more conscience, he can't do the emperor's profession so well.

She coughed, and was about to give Ying Ying a few quibbles, "The child didn't mean to pit the uncle", Qin Shuyan looked left and right, and whispered to her: "Zhan Ying is still raised on Qiongya Island, and when he grows up, I will take him over again, how about Aiqing?" ”

Didn't expect that, right? After being cheated by his nephew, His Majesty the Emperor became more determined to let Yingying take over.

Qin Shuyan: Although this good cub from the sky is very pitiful, he is really smart!

Emperor Cheng'an, who had experienced troubled times, inherited a simple educational concept from his father, Emperor Kailong-raising children like sheep is better than raising children like wolves.

Back then, Emperor Kailong wanted to whip his sons every day in order to support them, Lu Ying looked cute and polite, but in fact he was ruthless, and he was more loved by Emperor Cheng'an than those who memorized the Four Books and Five Classics in the clan, and were gentle and frugal.

Emperor Cheng'an was so annoyed by the civil officials that he was so forced to imply that Qiongya Island was cut off by the Lu family, and the tax reform there had nothing to do with him, which was a great humiliation for an emperor.

When he was so angry, Qin Shuyan couldn't help but start looking forward to Lu Ying pit the civil officials like him in the future.

And when it came to this, Qin Shuyan also had the idea that "it is not suitable for Lu Ying not to succeed to the throne".

If Lu Ying does not succeed to the throne, then he is the king of the South China Sea in the substantive sense, and the South China Sea will be outside the jurisdiction of the Yu Dynasty for a long time.

And at present, there is really no child in the clan who is smarter than Lu Ying, in case of picking a mediocre successor, and then that child starts a war with Lu Ying in order to recover Qiongya Island, it is difficult to say whether the court can win.

The Yu Dynasty did not have a strong enough naval army, and it burned money to fight, and there was not so much money in the treasury.

In case Lu Yingtian was a genius who defeated the Yu Dynasty army on behalf of the Lu family and changed the surname of the Yu Dynasty's territory to Lu, the fun would be even greater......

To know such as

If it wasn't Lao Jiu who ran away from his wife, Yingying was originally a child of their old Qin family!

Qin Shuyan has been tossed by the court recently, and several times he can't wait to directly announce that Lu Ying's surname is actually Qin, and he is the prince reserve he is optimistic about, and then throw the mess to the culprit who is still dashing on Qiongya Island.

But looking at the attitude of the civil servants, Qin Shuyan had a faint premonition that now Lu Ying only changed the tax system on Qiongya Island to make the civil servants so hateful and jealous, if he pushed Lu Ying to the fore now, I am afraid that the civil officials would have to join forces to assassinate the prince.

It is not normal for a seven- or eight-year-old child to die young, not to mention that there are fewer princes who have been pulled off the horse since ancient times? Could it be that every crown prince was abolished by the emperor's own hands? The interest groups that are not used to seeing the prince must have also moved.

Qin Shuyan inherited his father's distrust of "officials", when Emperor Kailong was just a small soldier Qin Rong, he followed his father to suffer from these people, even if he is now a member of these people, or even their nominal leader, but Qin Shuyan is wary of them, firmly believing that this group of people can do the assassination of the prince.

After a lot of thoughts, Qin Shuyan said: "Aiqing, I can say that if it weren't for Zhan Ying's surname Qin, he cut off such a large area on Yu Dynasty this time, I would endure it now, and I can't tolerate him in the future, but if he is the prince, he will take down all the coastal provinces, Huxiang, Huguang, and Zhejiang, and I will have nothing to say, I will only be happy." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan was silent.

The uncle has been cheated so badly, and he still wants Yingying to take over, which always makes people have the illusion that he has bad intentions and wants Yingying to pit others.

Lu Xiaoxuan did not fully believe in Emperor Cheng'an, it is an established fact that the South China Sea was cut away by the Lu family, and Emperor Cheng'an now says so

, maybe just to lower the Lu family's vigilance and prepare for the future use of force to recover Qiongya Island.

As for an emperor in his thirties who is still in the prime of life and insists on who he wants to be the heir or something, it is really impossible to count, and he may change his mind in a few years.

After being in the court for a long time, Lu Xiaoxuan knew that it was indispensable to guard against people, and she didn't dare to underestimate the hearts of the ancients, so she finally just replied respectfully: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, Yingying is weak and can't afford too many blessings, uncle, don't say anything about the prince or not the prince, the outstanding children in the clan don't know how many, and it is not Yingying's turn." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan knows history, but she doesn't believe in history, she won't gamble with her son's life.

Emperor Cheng'an looked at her deeply and said with a smile: "It is true that I should not be in a hurry, I can still work for many more years, and then I will summon the children of the clan to enter Beijing and let the famous teachers cultivate, but according to me, in the future, I will have to ask the Lu family to cut their love and give Zhan Ying to this country." ”

"The Han people have suffered too much under the iron hooves of the Northern Meng, and I am destined to have no queen, so I must choose the strongest and powerful heir to support the country, so that the people of the Yu Dynasty will not be reduced to the days of pigs and dogs, otherwise I will be sorry for my ancestors."

"When Zhan Ying is fourteen years old, the Lu family must let him enter Beijing."

When she got out of the palace, Lu Xiaoxuan wiped her sweat and thought to herself, life is really unpredictable.

As the emperor, Emperor Cheng'an may not be the one with the best means, but if he really made up his mind to take Ying Ying away, the Lu family could not refuse.

If it weren't for Yingying's fast departure, now Emperor Cheng'an has taken him to his side to raise him, and announced that he is the eldest son of King Liang and the former princess, maybe her identity as a woman will be exposed, and she will no longer be able to be an official as freely as she is now.

As for whether Yingying will chop off her uncle's fingers after she is forcibly raised by her uncle, cough, that's another matter.

She thought that Qin Zhanying in history did not use such drastic means to swallow Qiongya Island, he would recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, according to the records of "History of Yu", it was because the historical Empress Dowager Lu was not in good health that she had to entrust her minor son to the uncle to teach and protect.

But what he didn't expect was that with a butterfly wing, the current Yingying unconsciously entered the vision of the court with an incomparably strong attitude, which made Emperor Cheng'an, who knew his bloodline, begin to think about the heir.

Because Ying Ying is strong enough, because the Lu family has a naval army, because Ying Ying dares to risk the world's disapproval to change taxes, and because he has an island and a sea at hand, it will be an extremely cost-effective deal for the Yu Dynasty to get him.

Lu Xiaoxuan wrote a letter, attaching the names of those who wrote to ask the emperor to send troops to Qiongya Island, and sent it to Qiongya Island, so that the old father and precious son could understand and guard against the situation in the DPRK and China.

Originally, she also wanted to write the uncle's request for Yingying to enter Beijing at the age of fourteen and possibly Yingying's succession in a letter to her old father.

But given that Uncle Eucalyptus has become Yingying's horse, the letter will fall into Yingying's hands before she meets Lu Fang, and Lu Xiaoxuan gave up this idea.

She thought about telling Yingying about his background, but she would pour a cup of milk tea and put it in front of Yingying, telling the story of the past objectively and in detail, rather than through a hasty letter.

Forget it, she should talk about it with her old father when she goes home for the New Year.

In case the child is in a bad mood after knowing her life experience and wants to do something big, she can still stop her from going up with her old father......

Just when the news of Lu Xiaoxuan's promotion to the prince of the country was sent to Qiongya Island along with her letters, Lu Ying began to recuperate again.

In August, Qiongya Island is so hot that the road surface can fry eggs, in order to cool down, people have to sprinkle water on the floor every day, many people walk barefoot, Lu Ying also wears silk and straw sandals every day, and from time to time goes into the sea to swim, he has good water nature, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't come out for dozens of minutes.

During this period, the villain's family also performed a unique trick to Qiu Yu and slept in the pool.

Lu Ying will take a nap for half an hour every day, during which he will lie in the pool, even if the small body falls asleep and falls asleep, the whole person will slide into the water and lie down, he will not suffocate.

He can float on the surface of the water on his own, like a killer whale.

When Qiu Yu saw it for the first time, she was almost scared out of heart disease by Lu Ying, for fear that he would slip into the water and choke, but who knew that Lu Ying said that this was another family heirloom of the old Lu family after the water splash.

Lu Ying's grandfather was the founder of this unique skill, and he once ran to sleep at sea during the hottest time of summer

All night, my grandmother happened to be walking the rivers and lakes here, and when she saw a person floating on the sea, she thought it was a corpse, so she hurriedly picked it up with a fishing net to see if she had encountered a homicide......

It's just that it's soaked in the water for a long time, and then it comes out and is blown by the sea breeze, it's easy to catch a cold, Lu Tai's grandfather is a macho man who can kill a tiger with one punch, in the early years, in December, he ran to the north to find Lu Tai's grandmother to ask for marriage, in the face of goose feathers and heavy snow, he still wears only a single coat, and he is tired of looking for someone in the mountains, so he casually finds a bear hole, fights with the bear that wakes up in hibernation, and then holds the bear to sleep for one night and spends the night peacefully.

Lu Ying can't do it, he is just a little glass man, and he will fall if he is not careful.

On the way out of the sea to the carriage, Lu Ying blew a little wind, and on the way back, she began to feel groggy and vomited hot air on the small table in the car.

Qiu Yu hurriedly carried him back, covered the quilt, and asked someone to ask for a doctor.

Fortunately, Hua Meijing's medicinal diet was not fed in vain for a while, Lu Ying was not seriously ill this time, Hua Meijing first treated him with a medicinal bath and pediatric massage, and Yang Shengzi and Zhang Hua prescribed medicine and acupuncture, but the fever subsided in two or three days.

It's just that after the illness was cured, Lu Fang forbade his grandson to go to the sea to sleep again, and Lu Ying didn't fight with his grandfather this time, but just leaned on the bed to watch the Lu family digest the fruits of Qiongya Island.

After the Lu family completely swallowed Qiongya Island, the Yu Dynasty County Government on the island continued to operate, but the disobedient ones were replaced by the Lu family's people.

Naturally, the manpower is a little cramped, that is, Lu Xiaoxuan has eliminated a group of refugees, and many people can come out of Ding'an and Wenchang counties, and even many of Lu Ying's personal soldiers have been blinded and can go to the government to be officials, but everyone does not have work experience from the beginning.

At this time, Lü Ying demanded that literacy classes continue to be expanded, and night schools were established in every county.

He set the rule that after the original landlords on Qiongya Island were driven away, the Lu family would give land to the original tenant farmers who had no land on the island and the former slaves who intended to turn into homesteaders, but these people had to pass the literacy test before they could get the land deeds, otherwise those fields were only rented to them by the Lu family, and the annual rent would be heavier.

Then there is Lu Jiajun, as long as he gets rid of his blindness, he can do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100, know 300 words, add 100 yuan every month, and give priority to literacy when he is promoted.

In addition, Lu Ying also posted teachings in various rain temples through the identity of a descendant of the rain god, that is, the rain god, so that his literate believers are more pious and can be favored and blessed by the rain god.

When Qiu Yu came to find Lu Ying, he saw Lu Ying flipping through the test papers of the literacy classes in various counties, and he asked with a smile: "What's the matter, I'm bored and want to write papers?" ”

The titles of these papers were too simple for them, and Qiu Yu was just joking casually.

Who knew that Lu Ying glanced at him and handed over the papers, Qiu Yu took a look, on them were the answers that Lu Ying had done, the handwriting was neat, and each question was answered very seriously, as well as his comments on each test question, with Qiu Yu's understanding of Lu Ying, he would send these papers to the counties to see, and when the time came, he would know what style the boss liked to produce the papers, and the requirements for the question type of the papers.

Lu Ying leaned on the soft pillow and said softly: "The paper in Huitong County is the best, and the test is complete, especially the title of the two-hundred-word essay is good, so that students can tell the past, this is to let them recall how hard the past was, and compare the past and the present after writing, only then do they know that the present day is not easy, I plan to use this paper as a model for the literacy class paper, and then give some rewards to the person who wrote it." ”

This child pays great attention to the education of the people, Qiu Yu realized that Lu Ying was consciously expanding the literate population, he sat on the edge of the bed, first touched Lu Ying's forehead, confirmed that it was not burned again, and said, "You don't have enough people?" I also have some literate people on hand, so I can borrow you. ”

Lu Ying looked at him, his eyes were like two pills of black mercury, moist, with moisture: "No, I'm just preparing for the future." ”

Qiu Yu: "Ready? ”

"Well, the previous landlord is gone, but there will always be a new landlord who will come out, that is, there is no new landlord, and those soldiers of the Lu family army who are now obedient will also come out disobedient in the future."

Lu Ying nodded the scroll: "Believe it or not, it is the people who are grateful to the Lu family in their essays when they write the scroll now, as well as those farmers with simple faces in the fields, and the believers of the rain god who regard me as a god, many of them will betray me in the future and become moths under my rule, and use my name to oppress the weak, just like that old man Chen." ”

Qiu Yu said in a deep voice: "I believe that human nature is the most untested thing in the world. ”

When a new class of interests is formed, some things will resurge, such as corruption and blackmail, because people are so greedy.

Lu Ying: "So, I want to have more people who can read and write, so that when I kill the disobedient people, there will still be people who do things for me." ”

This is the preparation he made in advance for the distant future after he became the de facto ruler of Qiongya Island.

Qiu Yu had begun to get used to Lu Ying's suspicious nature of believing that everyone had the probability of betraying him, and he even knew that Lu Ying made these judgments out of reason.

Reason told Lu Ying that when he himself was eager and greedy for profits and taxes, and he did not hesitate to plan the pit emperor to swallow Qiongya Island, he should not expect others to be selfless saints who were loyal to the young master of the Lu family.

Qiu Yu looked at Lu Ying and made a promise: "But I won't change, Yingying, I will always be loyal to you." ”

Lu Ying reached out and patted Qiu Yu's face gently, just like patting her favorite puppy, even if he was very naïve, Ying Ying still liked him.

Qiu Yu knew that this kid would be ready to wield a knife at everyone, including his best friend.

But it doesn't matter, because he also knows that as long as he doesn't betray Yingying, Yingying won't let him down.

After all, Qin Zhanying is such a suspicious and rational person to the extreme, and wonderfully retains a little human touch.
