Chapter 570: Adding Military Pay

So Du Jingyi patted Tai Ge'er's head and said.

"Maybe, Tai Ge'er can see these, mother is very happy, but these words can't be said to others after today, you will have a heavy burden in the future, remember to be careful in words and deeds."

Tai Ge'er nodded thoughtfully, and then added.

"The teacher also taught that serving the king should be cautious at the beginning and respectful to the end."

Du Jingyi was very satisfied with his answer. As for the three brothers, they were full and weak, and they dozed off with their eyes closed.

After the palace banquet, everything returned to normal.

The emperor did not write until the 16th, so all the nobles in Sui'an City were at ease at home and reunited with their families, but there were always some people who wanted to make trouble, such as the restless Dingping Marquis Mansion.

Originally, Dingping Marquis, who was practicing calligraphy, was still calm, but after listening to the report of the visitor, the calculation in his eyes was once again prominent.

"Is the news true?"

"Don't worry, my Lord. It came from the third house of the Shang family, so it is certain."

"I didn't expect that Mrs. Gu is also a ruthless character. She usually looks low-key, but she killed a whole family with just one move. She is really capable. First find the woman and child who escaped. No matter what method you use, I want them to change their words and testify against the General's Mansion. They disregarded human lives and forced their relatives to death!"

"Yes, my Lord!"

The people of the fifth house did not have time to use the news of Mrs. Gu's death to exchange for wealth and glory. Instead, they used their own family's destruction to give Dingping Marquis a reason to clean up the General's Mansion. It really ended up in the same place.

At this moment, his calculations were still stuck in the power struggle between the new and old ministers. Little did he know that the General's Mansion, which he wanted to deal with, had already raised the whip to change to a smooth road.

Wangzhou, in the Hu Ben Army camp.

Liu Xun and Xing Zhao, who had disguised himself, had already figured out the situation of the unreported mountain range. Just like Xing Zhao's investigation of Yizhou's situation, they concealed and underreported the situation in order to reduce the taxes that Wangzhou had to pay.

"This family is really disgusting. They had such a hard life in the first half of their lives. They finally got this huge wealth, but they didn't want to help the poor people like themselves. They just wanted to exploit the people for profit."

Xing Zhao sneered at the actions of Princess Yuehua and King Min.

If it weren't for the successful uprising of Emperor Kaizong, they would probably still be living in the mountains. They didn't cherish it so much, which was really despicable!

Gu Shaoyu didn't think there was anything wrong with Xing Zhao's complaints, but replied calmly.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This kind of saying is probably only written in books. Do you really believe it?"

"That's true, but Yizhou and Wangzhou are like this. The fiefs of other royal relatives must not be much better. Cousin, do you want to continue investigating?"

"No need. Let's leave this matter of dealing with relatives to the prince. It's also a good opportunity to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and establish the emperor's prestige."

Now everything Gu Shaoyu did was the so-called "rebellion".

He can investigate, but it doesn't mean he wants to find out.

First, the current emperor may not want to get to the bottom of it. Maybe he wants to protect his uncles in order to get something else. Second, a grand ceremony will give enough opportunities to those officials in Sui'an City who are waiting for him to make a mistake and report it.

He is not afraid, but his wife and children are all in Sui'an City, so he has to be on guard.

"Then we just stand by and watch?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Gu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xing Zhao, who suddenly realized what was going on. That's right, if his cousin was a coward, he wouldn't be where he is today.

So he was looking forward to the day when King Min would be speechless and unable to speak out his grievances.

Soon, Gu Shaoyu gave the order.

"Find someone to redraw this map according to what you found. I want to see how much difference there is between the complete map of Wangzhou and the one sent here!"

"Yes, General!"

After saying this, Gu Shaoyu glanced at Liu Xun and then said to him.

"You will return to Sui'an City later. Remember to be careful on the road. Dingping Houfu and others will never give up. Protect Madam and Tai Ge'er carefully. When necessary, take the secret passage and send them to a safe place to wait. Do you understand?"

"General, don't worry. I know what to do."

After saying that, Liu Xun did not leave any time, and hurried to pack his luggage and bring enough dry food. Not long after, he disappeared in the military camp.

His arrival and departure were unnoticed, so it did not attract the attention of others.

"My mother should be on the way north. I think she can support my cousin's wife when she arrives."

Aunt Xing's face still has some connections in Jinling City and Sui'an City, so after Xing Zhao finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu also nodded.

No matter how capable Du Jingyi is at planning and how smart he is, his age and experience are there, especially in Sui'an City, where any stone can kill a group of dignitaries, so it is better to be careful.

"Have all the things in Xuanzhou been arranged?"

"Don't worry, cousin, the people around Brother-in-law He are all talented and capable people. Xuanzhou can achieve today's achievements without the help of the Gu family behind the scenes, so they promised to take good care of Brother-in-law He."

"Well, that's good."

Du Jingyi always thought that her brother-in-law was able to move from Pingzhou to Xuanzhou through Xing Zhao's path, but she didn't know that when Marshal Gu and Mrs. Gu were alive, they were life-saving for the current governor of Xuanzhou. of kindness.

Therefore, it was natural for him to come forward to arrange these things, which could not be more appropriate. Instead, Xing Zhao got a good deal, and everyone in the Du family and the He family were grateful to him.

"You do good deeds without leaving your name behind. I see that you are becoming more and more low-key, cousin."

"My father-in-law's family is too polite and refuses to talk to me about anything. They always feel that they will embarrass me and owe me something, so why don't you come forward and they might be able to accept it more calmly."

"That's really quite calm. My cousin is really rich. She casually gave me a banknote of 200,000 taels to help me smoothen my relationship! Two hundred thousand taels is enough for the Tiger Ben Army to pay for one month."

Seeing him speaking out so consciously, Gu Shaoyu was not polite, stretched out his hand and said.

"It's rare for you to have such an awareness, so take it out so that these brothers can buy some more life-saving things!"

Xing Zhao cursed, but still handed over the well-kept banknote from his arms and muttered.

"What a black-hearted person!"
