I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 316 How to deal with those concubines?

At this thought, Gao Yu's vicissitudes of life revealed a touch of firmness.

He put the letter in his hand into the stove, and after it was burned to ashes, he looked at the officer of the official department and said calmly: "The old man has never received Xie Qian's letter, and you have never come to my Gaofu."

Seeing this, the officials of the Ministry of Officials nodded heavily, and cupped their hands and said, "Resign from the humble position."

After speaking, without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left.

After the guard left, Gao Yu called the porter who was waiting outside the door again, and asked, "Apart from you, who else saw him?"

The concierge hurriedly said: "If you go back to the master, there is only the youngest one."

Gao Yu glanced at him, and said calmly: "You are an old man in the family, you should understand all the rules."

The concierge trembled in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The young ones understand, no one has come here today, and no one has seen the young ones."

Gao Yu waved his hands and said, "Go down."

"Yes, sir."

The concierge breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left.

Gao Yu sat alone on the grand teacher's chair, frowning slightly, lost in thought.

After an unknown period of time, he sat down at the desk, studied ink by himself, and wrote letters with a pen.

The next day, noon.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Li Yaoyue, who was wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon chair, her delicate face looked haggard.

Sitting opposite her, Fang Xiu didn't ask her about the conversation with the "Taishanghuang", nor did she ask her how she felt after learning the truth, but said casually: "What do you plan to have for lunch?"

Li Yaoyue looked up at him, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something.

When the words came to his lips, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't speak.

Seeing that she was silent, Fang Xiu frowned slightly, and said, "Treasure the opportunity to eat here, and I have to go back to Chang'an after a while, when the time comes, I will dismiss most of the royal chefs, and after that you just want to eat here There is no chance for the royal meal."

When Li Yaoyue heard this, she was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Why did you dismiss the imperial chef?"

Fang Xiudao: "Naturally, it's to save money. Do you think it doesn't cost money to support these royal cooks? Not only are the royal cooks dismissed, but most of the eunuchs and court ladies are also dismissed, leaving a small part to take care of your mothers." concubine."

Li Yaoyue didn't know that he planned to do this before, but now that he heard about it, he was stunned in place, and soon realized it.

He did this because he planned to move Zhou's palace to Qian.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhou's palace is completely demolished, and then another one will be built in Chang'an.

Doing so will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the officials and common people of the state of Zhou.

A better way is to abandon the imperial palace of Zhou State, leaving only a small number of eunuchs and court ladies for daily maintenance.

Then build a palace in Chang'an.

In this way, it is not only reasonable, but also weakens Jinnan's status as the capital.

Over time, Dagan and Dazhou will only have one center in Chang'an!
now.

Facing Fang Xiu who was wearing a boa robe and looked comfortable, Li Yaoyue really wanted to say: You can't do this.

However, she knew better than anyone else that her words had no weight in his heart.

Moreover, she also knew that what Fang Xiu made up his mind to do, not to mention her, even the emperor of Qian Kingdom could not change it.

therefore.

Li Yaoyue was just silent.

Seeing that she was still silent, Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Suddenly it occurred to me that the concubines of the Supreme Emperor are all in their prime. I heard that some of them are still stunning beauties. Let them stay in the palace as widows. some cruel
How about carrying forward the spirit of the truth, taking them to Chang'an, to Yirenju, and giving them a chance to support themselves. "

Although Yirenju is not a brothel, there are also singers and dancers in it, and they need to show their faces on weekdays.

It is undoubtedly a humiliation to the entire Great Zhou to let the concubine of the Great Zhou Emperor be a singer and dancer.

Although the current Li Yaoyue hated her imperial brother deeply, she didn't want to see the entire Great Zhou humiliated.

"Speaking of which, they are all your sisters-in-law, how to deal with them, I have to ask your opinion for the truth, what do you think of the truth?"

Fang Xiu looked at Li Yaoyue and asked with a straight face.

Li Yaoyue knew that he was making fun of herself, and was annoyed in her heart, but she had no choice but to say coldly: "The power is in your hands, what you do is up to you."

Fang Xiu shook his head solemnly, and said: "Your Majesty said that to Zhe Shachen. Your Majesty is the emperor, and those concubines are people in the palace. Naturally, His Majesty has the final say on how to deal with them."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue was not only annoyed, but also agitated, inexplicably wanting to pick up the inkstone on the table and smash it hard at his head.

Taking a deep breath, calming down, looking at him, he asked in a flat tone: "I'm in charge of this matter?"

Fang Xiu corrected: "This is Da Zhou, Your Majesty should call himself Zhen."

As soon as this word comes out.

Li Yaoyue couldn't bear it anymore, rolled her eyes at him, and didn't bother to talk to him.

Fang Xiu didn't seem to see the white eyes, and continued: "The minister said that His Majesty has the final say, so naturally it is His Majesty who has the final say."

When Li Yaoyue heard this, she was silent for a few seconds, and said expressionlessly: "Let them change their names and surnames, and send them out of the palace."

In other words, give them freedom.

Fang Xiu nodded with approval, and said, "As expected of your majesty, you are considerate and don't forget to ask them to change their names."

"."

Li Yaoyue had another urge to hit someone.

Do not know why.

Since returning to the Zhou Kingdom, some memories have been restored.

Her hatred for Fang Xiu dissipated a lot, and more of it turned into disgust.

This disgust comes more from the fact that he always bullies himself in various ways.

Obviously their relationship is just like what he said, there is no deep hatred.

Fang Xiu noticed Li Yaoyue's eyes and was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Li Yaoyue, who looked like an ice cave, would reveal his emotions so easily.

In the past, no matter how others ridiculed her, she always looked calm and didn't care.

It is also true that Fang Xiucai always wants to bully her intentionally or unintentionally, just to see if she can keep her iceberg appearance.

A brief moment of surprise.

Fang Xiu regained his normal mood, looked outside the door, and raised his voice, "Come here!"

The voice fell.

The door was slowly pushed open.

The figure shrouded in black robe stood at the door, like a sculpture, motionless.

"Did you hear what His Majesty said just now?"

Fang Xiu looked at the figure and asked.

Tang Rou glanced at Li Yaoyue, and saw that she was sitting on the dragon chair, as cold as an iceberg, with a strange look in her eyes.

She could feel that, compared to herself, the real Great Zhou empress Li Yaoyue had the aura of a superior person who treats everything as nothing, which is a temperament that is difficult for others to imitate.

"Senior."

After Tang Rou made such an evaluation in her heart, she unconsciously imitated her tone, and replied calmly: "En."

Fang Xiudao: "The concubines in the palace will be dealt with according to His Majesty's instructions. When they are dismissed, each of them will be given 50 taels of silver, which will be paid out of the big week money."

This time.

Tang Rou didn't even respond, but closed the door silently.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead.

"."

What's the matter with this guy?

Could it be that the mission given to her was too unchallenging?

Do you feel that you have no place to display your talents?
However, these are not what a bodyguard should do, she should also understand!

Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly, not bothering to care about her.

Although she didn't respond, based on Fang Xiu's understanding of her, she knew that there was a high probability that she would try her best to do everything well.

After all, doing things from the beginning to the end and being meticulous are the basic qualities of a heroine, and Tang Rou will not violate them easily.

the other side.

Seeing this scene, Li Yaoyue was also a little dazed, and doubts arose in her heart.

Who is this person who is completely covered in black robes, so that he can't even see his face?

Why did she dare Fang Xiu to have such an attitude?

Why did she treat Fang Xiu with this attitude?

Li Yaoyue and Tang Rou had never met before.

They don't know each other's appearance.

Tang Rou also knew that the Empress of Great Zhou was called Li Yaoyue, and she was imprisoned in the Xiangguo Mansion in Chang'an, and it was her substitute who appeared in Qianguo.

But Li Yaoyue didn't know about Tang Rou's existence at all.

"Just like you, you were forced to stay by the truth. The difference is that the truth didn't give you medicine."

Fang Xiu seemed to see Li Yaoyue's doubts, and took the initiative to explain.

When Li Yaoyue heard this, she didn't know what to think, her eyes were in a trance, and then she returned to normal.

"Having said that, in some respects, she is quite like you."

Fang Xiu looked at Li Yaoyue and said calmly, "The same makes people feel inexplicable."

"."

Li Yaoyue pretended not to hear, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu didn't bother to say any more, and asked again: "Tell me, what are you going to eat for lunch today, if you don't have anything to eat, just follow the original taste."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue thought for a few seconds, and couldn't help but miss those dishes that she liked to eat when she was young.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"His Royal Highness, the shopkeeper of Jiangyue Pavilion wants to see you."

Jiangyue Pavilion is a restaurant in southern Shanxi.

After being bought by Tang Yixue, it became Fang Xiu's influence.

The Jiangyue tabloid, which ranks among the most influential in the country of Zhou, is produced by Jiangyue Pavilion and is under Fang Xiu's control.

"Let her in."

Fang Xiu said lightly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

sound came.

The door opened slowly.

A handsome woman in fox fur stepped in front of Fang Xiu and bowed respectfully: "Jiang Xiaoyue, I have met Your Highness."

Between his words and deeds, he completely ignored Li Yaoyue who was wearing a dragon robe.

Fang Xiu looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xiaoyue did not answer immediately, but glanced at Li Yaoyue calmly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu waved his hands and said, "But it's okay to say."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang Xiaoyue saluted again, took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to Fang Xiu, and said, "This is an article sent by Gao Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, please read it, Your Highness!"

Gao Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry?

If I remember correctly, he did not come to greet him on the day of entering the city.

Fang Xiu quickly remembered the name, took the letter with a calm expression, and read it from top to bottom.

After a while.

He put down the letter, without any expression on his face, and asked, "What is the relationship between this Gao Yu and Xie Qian?"

Jiang Xiaoyue replied: "As far as I know, the two of them are from the same township, and they were Jinshi in the same year. They have advanced and retreated together for decades. It can be said that they are irreversible friends."

When Li Yaoyue heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xiaoyue.

Obviously she did not expect that an inconspicuous shopkeeper of a restaurant would know so much about the court officials.

No wonder whether it is the Weisuo Army or the Huben Army, they are always restricted when confronting the Gan Army.

In terms of intelligence, Dongchang is really far behind.

Hearing Jiang Xiaoyue's words, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and said, "Gao Yu pointed the finger at Xie Qian in this article, and it seems that he intends to cut off with Xie Qian. He already knew the news that Gu and Majesty came to the capital, why Writing such an article at this time, eager to cut off with Xie Qian?"

When he said this, he looked at Jiang Xiaoyue and said, "Tell me, what does he want to do?"

Jiang Xiaoyue was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Returning to Your Highness, I thought that Gao Yu knew that what he was going to do next would cause an uproar, so he cut off with Xie Qian and cleared the responsibility of his friend."

Fang Xiudao: "Why didn't Gao Yu disdain Xie Qian's actions and cut off justice with him?"

Jiang Xiaoyue said: "With Gao Yu's character, there is indeed such a possibility."

Fang Xiu fell into thought when he heard this.

After a while, he looked at Jiang Xiaoyue and ordered, "Print this article."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyue was slightly taken aback, and hesitated: "Your Highness, although Gao Yu's article is aimed at Xie Qian, the words are also dissatisfied with the alliance between His Highness and the two countries. It has aroused the approval of a small number of readers who do not know the general."

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this very good?"

Jiang Xiaoyue was startled again, not understanding what Fang Xiu meant.

Fang Xiudao: "Let's do what Gu said."

Jiang Xiaoyue no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

After finishing speaking, he had to salute, turned and left.

at this time.

Fang Xiu said again: "Print another copy of this letter and give it to Xie Qian, so that he can come to see Gu after reading it."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Jiang Xiaoyue saluted again.

"Go."

Fang Xiu waved his hand.

"Retire from humble office."

Jiang Xiaoyue saluted, turned and left.

After she left.

Only Fang Xiu and Li Yaoyue were left in Qianqing Palace.

Fang Xiu looked at Li Yaoyue and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why I did this?"

Li Yaoyue didn't bother to answer, but after thinking about it, if he didn't answer, he had to endure the guy's yin and yang, so he said coldly: "The spine of a Dazhou scholar will not be easily broken."

Unspoken.

Fang Xiu intends to take advantage of this incident to give a blow to officials and scholars who are dissatisfied with him and the alliance.

In fact.

Fang Xiu really intends to do this.

"The spine of a scholar is not as hard as His Majesty imagined."

Fang Xiu frowned.

Li Yaoyue was just silent.

"Leaving aside these matters for the time being, Your Majesty will tell you what you will have for lunch today."

Fang Xiu changed the topic.

Li Yaoyue was silent for a few seconds before reporting the names of a few dishes.

All sweets.

Fang Xiu heard this, looked outside the door, and said, "Come here."

The door was pushed open.

A shadow guard came in and saluted, "Please give orders, Your Highness."

Fang Xiu re-reported the names of the dishes in Li Yaoyue's report, and said, "Tell the people in the imperial dining room that these are the dishes that His Majesty wants to eat, so be more careful in cooking them."
