I Rely On Beauty To Stabilize The Country - Chapter 92
The two imperial doctors washed their hands and gingerly went to the foot of Gu Yuanbai, which looked like a jade sculpture of art. At this time, the two imperial doctors couldn’t help but frown when they saw these injuries. +++All Tanmei Novels: www.mtlnovel.com
“What crime does General Xue ask for?” The voice of the saint could not hear the joy or anger.
General Xue was defeated and said: “The saint was frightened in the court house, and the dragon’s body was injured. The court will be blamed for death.”
Gu Yuanbai said, “I think it’s a coincidence. Prince Bairi and Prince sent me a bowl of deer blood, but the young man accidentally spilled it on the window. In the middle of the night, evil wolves entered my place following the smell of blood. In the yard, everyone was sleeping (Shui) and the guards were tired. What’s more, I just woke up at this time and happened to meet these two wolves. Xue Qing, I feel that This is God’s will.”
The bead of sweat on General Xue’s forehead slid down, and he bowed his head deeply.
Xue Yuan followed his father and knelt behind him. When the sage was silent, the needle fell in the whole room and the whole room could be heard. The guard (touching Mo) with a big knife on his waist, looked at Xue Mansion with cold eyes. fierce.
Previously, Gu Yuanbai asked Xue Yuan to hug him, which was a dismissal of Xue Yuan; what he said now was a dismissal of General Xue.
Xue Yuan knelt on the ground, his face (color) gloomy.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world, but it happens to be such a coincidence (fafa). If you know that it is impossible, Xue Yuan will suspect that the sage has calculated that the two wolves will appear in the yard late at night. It was there on purpose.
In the middle of the night, Xue Mansion was suddenly bright. Kneeling with the prince’s little servant and Xue’s servants, Zhang Xu’s bodyguard looked calmly and interrogated his subordinates one by one.
After a stick of incense, Zhang Xu’s guard sent someone to press the panic-faced Xue Er Gongzi to the front of Sheng Shang, and he himself took a few steps forward and whispered what happened in Sheng Shang’s ear.
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Second Young Master Xue, and then let it down again.
The second son of Xue is a fool. He became jealous of Xue Yuan after he knew that he was not allowed to face the saint today. The wolves in the mansion were all pets raised by Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan trained the wolves to be very obedient, and knew that they would go to Xue Yuan’s courtyard to invite food every day. Today Sheng is staying in Xue Mansion, Xue Yuan has no time to feed the wolves. Second son Xue had a bad idea.
In the middle of the night, when everyone is sleeping well (sleeping in Shui), release two wolves and let the hungry ones run to Xue Yuan’s courtyard by themselves. They will bite if they don’t eat (the meat rou). If you bite Xue Yuan, Xue Yuan That servant will not be able to face holy tomorrow.
By the time Xue Mansion’s only healthy son was left with Xue Er Gongzi, Xue Er Gongzi thought so, and it was really like that.
But what he didn’t expect was that the wolf that had been hungry for a day was attracted by the smell of deer blood halfway through, and turned directly to Gu Yuanbai.
What a fool, Gu Yuanbai thought.
But such an idiot is placed in General Xue’s house, he still likes it.
Gu Yuanbai waved away the miscellaneous people and so on, before Zhang Xu told General Xue what happened. Such a shameful thing was spoken out by the guards around the saint a little bit, and Xue Er Gongzi’s face (color) was flushed, and he couldn’t contain himself.
General Xue’s breathing became heavier and heavier, his eyes widened and he stared at the two sons.
Xue Yuan sneered.
For a long time, General Xue seemed to be much older in an instant. He bowed to the Holy One very haggardly, “Thanks to the Lord for his compassion.”
Drive away other irrelevant people, at least this ridiculous thing will not be known to everyone.
Instead, Gu Yuanbai got up with Yan Yue at this time. He sighed and said, “Xue Qing, why bother? Since I know this is just a coincidence, naturally I won’t pursue it any more.”
The swollen ankle of the sage was right in front of his eyes, and it was shocking when he looked at it. General Xue did not dare to look at it. Every glance was an inner condemnation. With tears in his eyes, he said loudly and forcefully: “The young man made such a big mistake. It is natural for the Lord to punish how he wants to be punished. The minister will not complain!”
“The minister did not protect the saint, and the minister was equally guilty,” General Xue shed tears in two lines. “It is the fault of the minister to raise or not, and the minister is willing to be punished.”
Xue Yuan said politely: “The wolf is the wolf of the kid, and the kid is naturally guilty. The saint is now crippled. If necessary, the kid can accompany the saint to the left and right, and wait for his dispatch.”
Among the three, he was the only one who had a weak tone. Hearing this sentence, the second son of Xue Er shuddered and almost peeed his pants.
These pickled things have been smashed in front of Sheng Shang, and they have already caused two wars. No matter what kind of guilt is not an exaggeration, as long as the Sheng Shang does not tire of Xue family, General Xue can do anything.
When he heard Xue Yuan’s words, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity to regain his grace. Before, the sage specially sent the imperial physician in the palace to treat Brother Yuan. Doesn’t this mean that Brother Yuan had already gained a different view from the sage?
General Xue immediately said: “Chen, the dog can’t use pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but his martial arts is still eye-catching. Shengshang is now inconvenient with his legs and feet. Although the dog is no better than the guard in the palace, he can at least give a strong force. If the sage doesn’t dislike it, let the dog enter the palace to accompany the sage.”
The corners of Xue Yuan’s smiling mouth stiffened, and a gloomy arc suddenly appeared.
The sage is terrible, he pretended to be thinking, and after a while he reluctantly said: “If this is the case, then so be it.”
Tian Fusheng promptly said: “General Xue and the two sons go to rest quickly, the saint should also be settled.”
After he left, Gu Yuanbai slowly leaned on the (bed chuang), and the imperial doctor was administering medicine for him, and he felt a tingling sensation every time he stumbled. The imperial doctor watched his nose, his nose, his heart, and he did not dare to stop for a moment. Gu Yuanbai has endured it till now. He leaned against the bed frame and couldn’t bear to groan when he saw that the person was gone.
Xue Yuan had already walked outside the door, but still heard this muffled hum. He couldn’t help but glanced back. The bed tent blocked the Shengshang’s face, but the Shengshang’s hands clung to the clothes on his body and pinched the satin clothes that belonged to Xue Yuan into long folds.
The sage was patient from head to toe, and his green fingertips also showed restraint, even if the pain was severe, he just tightened his fingers forbearingly.
Xue Yuan frowned, and he looked away.
He has to wear this dress, but don’t scratch it.

On the second day, the ministers who were not far from Xue’s Mansion all learned about the Saint’s staying in Xue’s Mansion last night.
Chang Yuyan went to Xue Mansion’s door early in the morning. He visited Xue Yuan energetically, and he dragged Xue Yuan to visit the Holy Master.
When the two of them came, Gu Yuanbai was sitting on a chair and was massaged by the imperial doctor on the swollen ankle, his fair calf was slightly exposed, and the soles of his feet were on the imperial doctor’s knees.
The sunlight in the room was lacking, and the imperial doctors dared to press on a bright spot, so they sat in the courtyard, and the big tree beside it had just spit out green buds. The sun shone on the body of the saint, as white as shining.
Xue Yuan and Chang Yuyan needed to inform them when they came in. The guards formed a circle with their backs to the sage and the imperial doctor, but after all, the human wall was not a wall. Xue Yuan and Chang Yuyan saw everything when they looked far away.
As soon as Chang Yuyan saw this scene, he quickly lowered his head as if he had been burned. He did not dare to look up, his face was hot.
The waiter came to inform that Gu Yuanbai had recovered from the tingling. He glanced in the direction of the two of them and pressed his eyebrows impatiently, “No see.”
From time to time, the imperial physician would put down his hands and rub the palms of his hands to heat, and then re-covered the ankles. Layers of thin sweat were secreted on Gu Yuanbai’s forehead, which was wiped away by the palace attendant. After an unknown period of time, the imperial physician reminded in a low voice: “Holy, we still need to apply heat for a quarter of an hour.”
“Ok.”
The kerchief was wrapped around the ankle, and his tight brows finally stretched out. Gu Yuanbai leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. After a quarter of an hour passed, the doctor removed the kerchief for him, and Tian Fusheng squatted cautiously. Wear shoes and socks for him.
Tian Fusheng whispered: “Holy, General Xue took Xue Er Gongzi into the ancestral hall last night, and used family law to discipline Xue Er Gongzi half to death. Afterwards, I heard that Master Xue took a club and entered Xue Er Gongzi’s room. When he came out again, the second son Xue had already broken a leg.”
Sheng Shang didn’t care, he didn’t know if he could hear it. When Tian Fusheng put on his shoes and socks, Gu Yuanbai opened his eyes and slowly stood up straight.
The chief guard stepped forward worriedly, “Holy, the minister will carry you into the carriage?”
Gu Yuanbai laughed and said, “I can walk by myself.”
Asking Xue Yuan to hug him last night was a distraction. Now, under the circumstances, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for him to be held by others?
Xue Mansion was far less than the size of the imperial palace. Gu Yuanbai walked slowly, but he walked steadily to the door of Xue Mansion. The carriage in the palace was ready, and the family of Xue Mansion came up and down to send the saint. Mrs. Xue learned of what happened last night, when her face (color) was sallow and trembling, she knelt down and gave Gu Yuanbai a big gift.
Gu Yuanbai patiently finished her gift before stepping into the carriage.
Chang Yuyan watched the saint leave, his face (color) lost. The saint was so kind to him the previous two times, but today it seemed as if he hadn’t seen him, and he didn’t give him half a distraction. Even the visit was rejected, and the sudden drop made Chang Yuyan almost unable to hold the gentleman’s smile on his face.
“Xue Yuan,” worrying about gains and losses, “Did you offend the Holy One?”
Sheng Shang didn’t want to see him because of Xue Yuan. This was the only reason that Chang Yuyan could feel better.
When Xue Yuan heard the words, the blue veins on his head burst: “Shut up.”
*
After returning to the palace, Gu Yuanbai couldn’t take any rest. The first thing was to deal with the government affairs that had been accumulated for two days.
The Daheng Dynasty had 14 prefectures and 240 states. There are not many memorials that need to be submitted to the Lord, but there are not many. The ministers of the political affairs hall will first distinguish the prefectures, urgency, and category. Important matters need to be handled by the Lord himself. When sent to Gu Yuanbai’s desk, they will handle some trivial and cumbersome matters, and review the memorials after they have been processed, and then send them to the Military and Political Department of the Supervision Office for review.
After the three procedures have come down, and the saint will occasionally go to the political affairs hall for spot checks, the ministers in the political affairs hall are also diligent, and there are very few cases of memorials being returned from the supervision office for reapproval.
But when Gu Yuanbai criticized the memorial, he still felt a lot of inconvenience.
The local memorials are so far away that they dare not lose the love of the sage. Therefore, I always like to flatter me when I go with Gu Yuanbai. A rainbow fart is a few pages. The article is beautifully written and Gu Yuanbai really wants it. On the contrary, the main points that I have learned have been passed through, and I am always vaguely unclear.
Regarding the reform of the evaluation of the performance of local officials, Gu Yuanbai had a charter for a long time, and the reform of the memorial is indispensable. After a new batch of scholars are selected, some people sent to the local government can start to change from the grassroots level.
It’s better to have a template for the presentation of the memorial. They only need to fill in their own data on the template. If a unified habit is formed, not only the official performance of the officials is clear and clear, but the administrative agencies across the country can be reduced. Many unnecessary engineering quantities, efficiency will be greatly improved.
“Tian Fusheng,” Gu Yuanbai rubbed his eyebrows, lacking energy, “make me a cup of strong tea.”
In many cases, as the dynasty extended, the emperor would suffer more constraints.
The military power and imperial power of the founding emperor were vibrant. The first emperors had the ability to lift tables. They had soldiers in their hands and underwhelmed the world, and their reforms could be top-down. However, as the dynasty ages, the power in the hands of the emperor will become less and less.
Daheng’s land is clinging to the intricately packed Hao (强qiang) clan. These places have great power (强qiang) and it is illegal to annex the land (Fan), and some even kill people. This is the ancient time. The black force. How can the central government endure the place? They occupies tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and farming households. Some are tied to the government (gou), and some even control the government. 1
The clan and the clan are implicated, and a vine can involve a piece of mud.
The emperor must not only balance the bureaucracy, eunuchs, and military power and honor, but also deal with these heroes (strong qiang).
This situation can only be broken by (强qiang) hard means, and then Gu Yuanbai’s order can be rebuilt.
Gu Yuanbai knew that there were enemy countries coveting around Daheng Dynasty, and he also knew some unstable factors in the territory.
And the factors in the territory include some of his indulgence.
He deliberately let go of some of the remnants of Lu Feng, the power official, and turned a blind eye to their escape, because Gu Yuanbai kept them useful.
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, he, the emperor, is sitting at risk, and the world is about to usher in turmoil.
But what they didn’t know was that Gu Yuanbai was waiting for the turmoil, and even faintly pushing the changes in the territory behind his back. He drove the remnants of Lu Feng to where he wanted them to go, intending to use the turmoil to pull out the deepest part of the cancer in Dahengguo.
He intends to use the power of the enemy to crush the land and wealth of the qiang clan.
After the enemies have flattened the Hao (强qiang) clan, Gu Yuanbai will use the most benevolent reputation to take over the land, farmers, gold and silver that have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
He will use the name of the king who is standing at the highest point of morality to wipe out these brutal and greedy rebels.
This method of curing the disease was not devised by one person, but a method obtained by thousands of future generations amidst countless flood seasons.
It is the most reliable method in the ancient environment.
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry looked regretful and muttered: “It’s a pity, a pity.”
At this time, Talent Chu had just finished reading this article, he was thinking while reading, his expression (color) occasionally dignified and occasionally laughed, after reading it, he couldn’t help saying: “Holy, this method is feasible!”
Gu Yuanbai smiled and asked, “Does Master Chu think it is feasible?”
Master Chu has always been rigorous, but at this time he nodded boldly, “If you follow the above-mentioned content one by one, the minister thinks it is feasible.”
Hubu Shangshu was anxious, “Holy! The spring broadcast is about to begin, and the trial will cost money. The Gongyuan is being renovated. The site of the holy tomb has also been selected, and construction will begin this year. More than that, the holy will raise soldiers. The military supplies are even more numerous, and they cannot be stopped every day. If the river is to be built, the treasury will not be able to turn around.”
In the early days of the king’s succession to the throne, he started to build the mausoleum, but although Gu Yuanbai succeeded to the throne early, he fell behind in power.
Gu Yuanbai smiled comfortingly at him, “I understand.”
“The governance of the world is always inseparable from money,” Gu Yuanbai said in a hurry. “As long as you have money, you can build roads, buy horses, and train soldiers… I didn’t decide to start managing the Yellow River floods now. The Yellow River floods are divided into spring floods and summer floods. The spring floods are from March to April, and the summer floods are from June to October. I called all the adults here because I wanted to discuss the spring flood together.”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu wondered: “Holy, there has been no flooding of the Yellow River in the previous few years. Why do you care so much this year?”
Hearing this, Gu Yuanbai put the tea cup in his hand on the table and made a soft sound: “I also want to know why it has been raining for half a month in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, but no one came to inform the court?”
…
!
The two Shangshu and a doctor knelt on the ground with their knees soft.
Gu Yuanbai remained silent, let them kneel, and kept guessing in a quiet environment where the needle drop was audible, until the top of their heads sweated from their own guesses, and Gu Yuanbai said, “Get up.”
There was no prime minister in the Da Heng Dynasty. The Six Departments were directly controlled by the emperor, and there was no cabinet. However, the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall were set up. The Privy Council managed military affairs and the Political Affairs Hall was directly controlled by the emperor.
When the imperial power was so grand, there would be people who would not report it. How could the people in those places be so courageous!
And how did the saint know about the rainy season of the Yellow River, thousands of miles away?
The more the three ministers thought about it, the more they feared. They stood up softly, not daring to say a word.
“Chu Qing,” Gu Yuanbai calmed down, “I know that you have a good understanding of water control. There is not much time now. I will set you as a comforter and send you to defend against the spring floods of the Yellow River. I don’t want much, as long as If this small flood season does not cause a major disaster, Chu Qing, would you like to go to the Yellow River?”
Without hesitation, Chu Xun knelt on the ground again, and he said loudly, “The minister must use his best to fulfill his mission!”
Gu Yuanbai walked out from behind the table and personally helped him up, “I have one more thing to ask me when I go now. Chu Qing wants to help me find out who is hiding it! Those local officials will follow Chu Qing. Check, don’t be afraid of them, I am the master for you. If there is a problem, I allow the local governor to lead soldiers to help.”
