Long Yusheng sent Chu Xingyu to the carriage, where the rain was already waiting.After Long Yusheng left, Luo Yu asked Chu Xingyu: "Miss, how did I hear that many people are saying that you are the future mother of the country, and you and the prince are a natural pair or something." ”Chu Xingyu said with a bitter face: "I just met a fortune teller, who seems to be quite a god, but he said that I have the preciousness of the mother of the country."
Now that I've been pushed to the forefront by his words, it seems that I'm going to have to keep a low profile lately. ”Luo Yu said thoughtfully: "The rumors seem to spread quickly, and it is like tying the young lady and the prince together." ”Chu Xingyu walked into the carriage, waved his hand and said, "No matter, it will calm down after a while anyway, and I can't block the mouth of Youyou." ”As soon as Chu Xingyu arrived home, Chu Fengmo and Feng Yishui pulled her to sit down, Chu Fengmo asked directly: "Rumor, how can you go out with the prince and become the future mother of the country" Chu Xingyu said the divination again, looked at his father's and mother's somewhat solemn face and said: "You don't have to worry, my daughter has just made a meritorious service, and it is a big deal to make a meritorious contribution." ”Feng Yishui said worriedly: "The king doesn't have to worry about it, but how can the queen give up, not to mention that she will spread rumors because of you and the prince, just the mother of the country will anger her, and now she is the mother of a country." ”Chu Xingyu is actually the most afraid of the queen, but at this point, she will come to cover the water, and there is also Long Yusheng.She took Feng Yishui's hand and said, "Mother, don't worry, I have already thought of countermeasures, and the prince will help me." ”After appeasing Feng Yishui and Chu Fengmo, after the family had dinner, Chu Xingyu went to bathe.Then she lazily lay down on the bed, thinking about the dramatic day, and felt a little irritable in her heart, and simply didn't think about anything at all, and then gradually fell asleep.Long Yusheng went back and was invited to Qifeng Palace by Mama Su, and after the dream, he was lying on the big bed carved with a phoenix, and his head was covered with a white brocade pa period Ai Ai Ai and whispered "Sheng'er".Originally, because of Chu Xingyu's incident, Long Yusheng wanted to treat the dream queen with a tough attitude, but now when he saw that she was sick, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mother, what's wrong with you" The dream queen opened her beautiful eyes, frowned and said angrily: "You actually gave the military power in your hand to your father in order to marry that girl, and the king tried every means to arrange it, and gave her the noble life of a mother of the country." ”Long Yusheng gently patted the back of the dream, but his tone was still firm.He said, "Queen Mother, if you still want me to ascend the throne, you must accept her."
She is as important to me as the throne.The military power was only temporarily given to my father, and I will naturally take it back in the future. ”After the dream, she gritted her teeth, calmed down her anger and said, "Even if the queen mother agrees to you, can she agree to marry you, and you don't know that the demon seed also has thoughts about her, and he won't let you marry that girl." ”Long Yusheng's eyes sank and said: "It is rumored that she will agree to marry me, as for Long Xiaoran, if he really blocks my way, I will eliminate the demons for the people." ”After the dream, I saw that my son was iron-hearted, and for the sake of Chu Xingyu, I was willing to stop thinking about the brotherhood with Long Xiaoran as a child, so I decided to rely on my son for the time being.She sighed and said, "Since you value her so much, then the queen mother will depend on you, as long as she doesn't do anything to hurt you, she will treat you sincerely." ”Long Yusheng thought that the queen of dreams had really accepted Chu Xing's ballad this time, and he smiled happily and said, "Thank you mother, my son will come to feed you and drink medicine." ”After the dream, she saw her son smiling like a child, and smiled happily and said, "Okay." ”Mama Su, who was standing on the side, was a little distressed, how could the mother pretend to be sick and drink the medicine, but even if it was a bitter medicine, the mother who was fed by the prince himself felt sweet.She hurriedly confessed and said, "Wait a minute, the slave maid will let you decoct the medicine immediately." ”Long Yusheng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Go, you have to take care of the queen mother in the future." ”After Mama Su glanced at the dream, she nodded and retired, she still asked the queen to decoct some medicine to nourish blood and qi.The next day, on the splendid palace of the dynasty, Chu Fengmo stood at the top of the list of generals as usual, listening to the king discussing with the ministers in the court about the local officials' performances.Now one of the prime minister's right-hand men, Wei Liang, the general secretary of the household tax department, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has brought a lot of grain, grass and cotton to protect against the cold when he goes to the north next year, and when the autumn harvest is next year, the minister proposes that the service tax in the north should be doubled. ”The dragon on the golden throne was silent for a while, looked at some people below who couldn't hold it back, and said: "Wei Qing, the northern border is a bitter cold place, and the current service tax is already the limit for the people in that place. ”Wei Liang looked at Prime Minister Xie Cheng in front of him from the corner of his slightly hanging eyes, and sighed: "The king doesn't know, in recent years, the service tax in the north has been lower than that in other places, but every winter, silver money has to be poured out of the state treasury to relieve them, and if this continues, the state treasury will be empty in a few years, or the service tax in other places will have to be increased all the time." ”Although Wei Liang only said this, everyone understood that if this continued, the people in other places would definitely complain, and the consequences would be even more unimaginable.At this time, another person stood up and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to agree with the words of General Secretary Wei.Although the northern border needs relief every winter, it is not so much consumed, and they hand over a large amount of iron, cattle and sheep every year. ”Wei Liang looked at the person who had just spoken, smiled and said: "Chief Secretary Cui, you are in charge of the prison, so you naturally don't know the worries of me, a person who manages taxes and silver, the current treasury is really decreasing sharply every year, and I am also saying this for the sake of my Aochuan Dynasty and the king." ”"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old ministers, there have been too many corrupt and bribe-taking people in recent years.Why don't you let Lin Tan of the Investigation and Justice Department go to investigate, find out those pests that swallowed the national bank, confiscate the house and punish them severely. ”Prime Minister Xie Cheng, who had not spoken, said in surprise at this time.The entire hall was silent for a moment, and Long Guxing looked at Xie Yuanhan and said, "What the prime minister said is that Lin Tan should be ordered to take the people from the Investigation Department to investigate recently, and Lone will severely punish those corrupt officials."
Also, the northern side will increase the iron tax by 30% from next year. ”Chu Fengmo couldn't help but walk out and said: "Your Majesty, although the iron ore in the north is relatively rich, it is difficult to mine and smelt, plus there has been no new source of iron ore in the past two years, and it is probably too difficult for the local people to add a thirty percent iron tax, so it is better to talk about it slowly." ”At this time, Long Yusheng, who was alone in the column, said: "Father, Erchen thinks what General Chu said makes sense, after all, it took two years for Brother Wang to discover an iron mine, and the people in that poor place in the north can be relied on. ”Long Guxing's phoenix eyes flashed with doubts, and then said: "Then only increase by one percent, and we have to give them some pressure, so that they can discover more iron ore faster."
Lin Qing, you are responsible for finding out those who hide filth and filth. ”The raptured man went out and said, "The minister Lin Tan obeys the king's orders, but the minister still has one thing to do." ”Long Guxing rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "Lin Qing has something to play" Lin Tan knelt down and said: "The prince will be weak next year, but he is still alone, without a wife and no concubines.This is a matter of the foundation of the country, and the minister asked the king to choose an excellent woman as a concubine for the crown prince, and open up branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible. ”Long Guxing smiled and said, "Lin Qing, do you still have to worry, aren't there still good stories about General Chu's beloved daughter and the crown prince in the city, Miss Chu is the fate of Fengge, and she is destined to marry the prince." ”Lin Tan echoed: "Wang Shangmingjian, Miss Chu is indeed the best among the women in the boudoir, and she is on an equal footing with the daughter of the prime minister's family. ”Long Guxing said again: "Lin Qing really reminded Gu that the prince's marriage should really be prepared, and Gu also feels that Miss Chu is very suitable to be the prince's princess." ”Hearing that it was about his daughter, Chu Fengmo's heart was not calm, he glanced at Long Guxing on the throne who was looking at him, and walked out of the queue again uneasily.He stood in the middle and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the little girl has been weak and blessed since she was a child, and she has become lazy because of her illness.Although it is not to the point that the limbs are not diligent and the grains are not separated, but she can't handle the ordinary female workers, how can she have the order of the mother of the country" Without waiting for Long Guxing to speak, Xie Yuanhan, who was standing at the top of the civil official column, said: "I think the loyal and brave general is too humble, so that the daughter is not only in good shape but also a doctor for a long time.She not only treats the sick but also considers the poor people, and her kindness makes the old man and I admire. ”"Yes, Chu Qing, you still don't have to be modest.Gu had already thought about it, after Lan Ye, King Gu would send someone to bring Miss Chu's birthday, and then Gu would ask Si Tianjian to give her a good fortune. ”The dragon above said immediately.Chu Fengmo was going to fight for it, but now Prime Minister Xie Cheng said it well, and judging by the attitude of the king, it must have been an agreement with the prime minister in private.He glanced at Long Yusheng, the party standing alone in a column, and saw that he was just smiling at himself, and did not make any other moves.Chu Fengmo thought of Long Yusheng's attitude towards his daughter, and he also knew that he couldn't expect Long Yusheng to come forward to stop it, which obviously hit his heart.So, he had to compromise for the time being and said, "Weichen takes the order." ”After getting out of the court, Chu Fengmo wanted to persuade Long Guxing again, lest Long Guxing make any hasty decisions, which involved his daughter's lifelong happiness.It's just that Long Guxing didn't want to see him at this time, so he quickly arrived at a palace concubine in the harem.Chu Fengmo couldn't ask to see him, so he had to leave the palace with a lot of heart, and along the way he was speculating about Long Guxing's intentions, as well as Xie Yuanhan's abnormal realization
