The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 214 I Suggest Aiqing Take a Long Line to Catch Big Fish

The human heart is a single-sided bronze mirror, which only shines on others, but not on yourself.

When a catastrophe is in front of us, avoiding and shirking responsibility is the shortest way for people to live peacefully in their hearts.

All the mistakes, omissions, and the [-] soldiers who sacrificed their lives were all blamed on Qiang Li, which made Jiang Mubai feel relieved.

He completely forgot that in the past, he was the one who insisted on letting Sanchu lead [-] troops to fight against the alien beasts.

It was also he who agreed with Qiang Li to blow up the mountain to take advantage of the east wind and get Dazhao involved in that disaster, so that he was so tired that he was in a dilemma today.

He thought that if he shirked all the responsibilities, he would still be a wise king 'for the country and the people', so he could get a good night's sleep.

But no matter what, he never imagined that Zhao Sijin, who was lying next to his pillow today and watched her sleep peacefully, was the person in the world who couldn't see him living a peaceful life.

Ever since Zhao Sijin knew about the subtle relationship between Jiang Mubai and Qiang Li, every physical contact with Jiang Mubai made her feel extremely disgusted.

She spread rumors that Xuan Jue just asked Jiang Mubai to give an explanation that day, but he ordered the lives of fifty thousand soldiers to make up for Dazhao.

The courtiers and the common people were already quite critical of Jiang Mubai's execution of [-] soldiers and guards, so the rumors spread wildly through the east wind, and the anxiety was unstoppable.

More than half of Jiang Mubai's signature of a generation of Mingjun fell into Zhao Sijin's hands.

But he still didn't know why, and when he was drunk, he pulled Zhao Sijin to complain, saying: "I am lonely for the country and the people, why do they want to be lonely so much? Why?"

Zhao Sijin didn't answer, but just added wine to Jiang Mubai.

How much she wanted to take advantage of Jiang Mu's baijiu to cover his mouth and nose to kill him with her own hands, but now is not the time.

She touched her protruding belly, and remembered what Jiang Mubai had said to her, that she would be the crown prince when her first child was born and the first wife was born.

Only if she wins a man in one fell swoop, then Jiang Mubai will be dead, and she will be the empress dowager.

Listening to the government behind the curtain, there is naturally a way to make the Youdu, which Jiang Mubai wants to guard with all his heart, destroyed under her "dedicated" governance.

People in Youdu were panicked because of the execution of [-] soldiers by Jiang Mubai, but the subjects of Dazhao were very happy.

In addition to being happy, there is also good news.

Gu Chengge, who had been away from Zhaodu for 14 days, returned triumphantly on the morning of No.[-].

The fellow soldiers all admired his miracle of exterminating the alien beasts, and it was passed on miraculously.

It is only said that he calls the wind and rain with a wave of his hand, and he is born with visions, purple air comes from the east, and golden light suddenly appears.

In just an hour, all the strange beasts were beheaded, and the lingering miasma disappeared without a trace.

Xuan Jue was overjoyed, Xu Gu Chengge entered Zhaodu's court hall as a commoner, and all the officials praised him when they saw his high-spirited young man, even if they looked down on his infantry commander, they changed their faces and squeezed out The smiling faces are opposite.

"Gu Fangshi is really capable, I almost missed a good talent."

Gu Chengge waved his hands, and joked with a meaningless face: "It's a little effort~ Caomin is also a member of Dazhao, who can remove troubles for the emperor and protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Caomin is happy."

He said it lightly, but in fact, he had already started to think about how to squander the 2000 taels of gold in his hand.

Xuan Jue caught the loophole in his words, and said hastily: "Since Gu Fangshi is so righteous, it's about rewarding money."

"Your Majesty will give it to you. Silver tickets and gold ingots are all available, and grassroots people don't choose." Gu Chengge cut off Xuan Jue's words, scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

Xuan Jue also laughed awkwardly, looking up from time to time to see the golden dome that was repaired only two days ago.

The people in the manufacturing office reported the accounts to Chu Jin, and Xuan Jue took a peek at it, good guy, is it so expensive to build a golden roof?I used up 200 taels of gold.
Huh?Then should I just give him 800 taels of gold?After all, he was the one who broke the golden dome.

Hiss, it doesn't work either.So many courtiers are watching, if I care about this little money, will they say I am stingy?
Xuan Jue's eyes drifted away, seeing the courtiers staring at him eagerly, he really couldn't afford to lose that person.

He watched Gu Chengge staring at himself with expectant eyes, and murmured in his heart: Really?

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a coup in a flash of inspiration!It's so wonderful that I can't wait to pat my thigh in public!
"Gu Fangshi has made such great contributions, how can 2000 taels of gold be paid?"

Gu Chengge's blue eyes glowed with golden light, and he pursed his lips and said excitedly: "The emperor thinks it is suitable, you can just see it. There are not too many grassroots, not too many~~~hehe."

Xuan Jue made a calculation in his heart, sat down for a while, and said in a calm voice: "I think it will take 6000 taels of gold to make it, I don't know what Gu Fangshi thinks?"

What opinion can Gu Chengge have?Who thinks money is fishy?So he nodded again and again, smiling like a flower.

Which of the courtiers didn't know Xuan Jue's stingy temper?With every opening and closing of his mouth, he gave Gu Chengge three times the reward. It is estimated that the historian can record this matter in the annals of history.

Just as he was muttering, Xuan Jue said again: "However, I suggest that Gu Fangshi put a long line to catch big fish. I wonder what Gu Fangshi thinks?"

Gu Chengge said bluntly: "As long as your majesty pays for it, not to mention putting a long line to catch big fish, sharks and grasshoppers can catch it for you!"

Xuan Jue smiled, "That's it. You go back and prepare. From tomorrow, you will be Dazhao's national teacher."

Um?National Division? ?
What the hell is a national teacher?

Where is my money?
"Your Majesty, this is"

"Gu Fangshi has to settle the bills. Why do I give you 2000 taels of gold at a time? I spent all the money to buy a decent house in Zhaodu. You have become a national teacher, and I will provide you with food and lodging." , even if you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, you still have 500 taels of silver a month, isn’t it a good job?”

500 taels of silver?Only twelve taels of gold a month?What about trouble?

Gu Chengge looked bewildered, "500 taels of silver? Then your majesty just said that 6000 taels of gold is."

"You do the math, 500 taels of silver a month, 6000 taels of silver a year, and 120 taels of gold. Gu Fangshi is a young man, and he is a cultivator outside Fangwai. How can he live to be 60 years old again? If you drink too much and stay up late, you can only live to be 50 years old. Isn’t 120 taels of gold a year for 50 years equal to 6000 taels of gold? It’s not a loss at all!”

After Xuan Jue said this, some courtiers couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Gu Chengge's face turned green.
What kind of emperor is he so good at settling accounts?Go to open a pawn shop.

Faced with such a business that is gaining profit but losing money secretly, any normal person would not agree to it.

But looking at Xuan Jue's appearance of "If you don't agree, I won't give you a dime", what else can Gu Chengge do?
I just lost my master, and I am wandering alone with no one to rely on. Being a national teacher in Dazhao is at least a decent job, right?

If you take care of food and housing, you still have 500 taels of silver a month, so at least you don't have to go hungry.

So he put his mind to one side, and agreed to Xuan Jue's proposal.
