The son-in-law is a thief

Chapter 138

The new empress of the Great Zhou is not uncommon. Far to the east of the Great Zhou, there are several empresses from the four countries known as Dongying. If you look to the west and look at Yingji and Frankie, there are even empresses. Empresses are no less than Dongying. Perhaps Zhaoyang put this information on purpose, and over time, the people and ministers have no objections.What's more, after Zhaoyang succeeded to the throne, he adhered to the emperor's way of governing the country, exempted many industries from taxation, and opened academies. Commoners or merchants, boys or girls, as long as they are willing to learn, tuition fees can be reduced, so that it is difficult to find a degree.These two policies alone have won the hearts of the people enough to block the mouths of ministers who still harbor resentment.

But the emperor was not so easy to do. Today, the ministers of the early court were arguing about Qin Li'an's disposal. In fact, whether to kill or not depends on Zhaoyang's words. Keep Qin Li'an for two months. Zhaoyang really doesn't want to To kill this younger brother, after all, the two of them are the most similar in age. They were young when they were in the Qiandi, and their relationship is also the best.However, the living Qin Li'an was not much better. He ate and lived with other prisoners in the prison. If he wanted to play any princely temper, he would be beaten by Laotou in a short while. As for his son, he was still kept in the palace by Zhaoyang. Among them, the East Palace was vacated, and now it looks completely depressed.

Sending off the ministers in the court, Zhaoyang's official duties have not yet been completed, Sun Zhimiao has become the Minister of Rites, Li Yan has also been promoted to the post of prime minister, and the official business that the court has not finished has to be said.

"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of the post of Admiral of the Navy." Li Yan said, he was born in the Ministry of Officials, and he is still sensitive about the appointment.

"Although Chu Han is dead and the imperial court is stable, Beilu still looks at us covetously." Sun Zhimiao echoed, "The position of Admiral of the Navy is really important."

Now that the Navy has no major official position, Taiping Island is all guarded by the Gu family. Zhaoyang knows that these ministers are afraid of the Gu family, so he is still worried about letting a group of pirates guard the door of the house.

"What suggestions do you two adults have?" Zhaoyang asked, her tone was gentle, she was not as rigid as Qin Wuyong, and she was not as domineering as Qin Li'an, and she was actually very popular with the ministers.

"The Zheng family has always been good at governing the sea..." Li Yan stopped, but didn't say much.

"It can also give the Zheng family a chance to make up for their mistakes." Zhao Yang said, there should be a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers.Zhaoyang said again: "Zheng Qi is not the only one in the Zheng family, he also has uncles and brothers, and uncles and brothers should also be heirs. You can choose a loyal and capable person to be the deputy first."

"But the main position is still vacant." Sun Zhimiao said, in this extraordinary period, the navy is especially important.

"The Gu family Zeng Shi can take up this position." Zhaoyang said frankly.

"No!" Li Yan said.

"Why not?"

"His notoriety is known everywhere." Li Yan said: "If he wants to turn against the water, it will be a great disadvantage to Nian Guicheng."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yang said, "Don't forget that their master is still here with me."

Li Yan shut up as soon as he heard the word "big master". Who would have thought that Zhaoyang was really charming? Gu Ruyang, originally thought that after Zhaoyang became emperor, he would consider the issue of heirs, and his son Li Tuo would be the best candidate, but Soon it was rumored in the palace that Zhaoyang lived in Gu Ruyang's room every day, which made people think too much.

"Since His Majesty has made his own arrangements, I will follow the order and draft an edict." Li Yan said.

"Zeng Shi's tenure is only half a year, and let him train the navy for us." Zhaoyang appointed Zeng Shi not because he is a member of Gu's family, but because he really likes his ability, and Gu Ruyang's current body cannot take up this position. She also didn't want Gu Ruyang to go so far to Wu'an Port. Zeng Shi was loyal to Gu Ruyang and was also a master at navigating the sea, so it was naturally best for him to use him.

"Yes." Li Yan nodded, and Sun Zhimiao began to draw up an imperial edict. After Zhaoyang looked at it, he felt that there was no problem, so he stamped the jade seal.

Afterwards, the three discussed the appointment of the Commander of the Ministry of War and the Habayashi Guards. Zhaoyang finally asked Li Tuo to come back to supervise the Guards. The general of the imperial court served as a deputy, and then it was almost noon, and Zhaoyang did not leave the second minister to eat.

After Li Yan and Sun Zhimiao left the main hall, they heard a person rushing out from behind the screen in the hall. Gu Ruyang walked out patted her heart, sat down beside Zhaoyang, and said, "You...you... I've only been recovering from this illness for a few days, and if you ask Li Tuo to come back and defend the city for you, you're probably going to piss me off."

Zhaoyang sniffed Gu Ruyang, "It smells sour."

"You have to throw that guy Li Tuo into Wu'an Port, let him practice at sea, maybe he can become a good pirate just like your brother." Gu Ruyang said in confusion.

"Throw him in Wu'an Port, he will probably be crippled by Zeng Shi." Zhaoyang said, she turned around and looked at Gu Ruyang. After the foreign doctor treated her, her health was better, but she just felt angry. Still not enough.

"If you really want to train sailors, you have to give me Wu'an Port." Gu Ruyang pointed his face with a thumbs up: "Teach that guy Zeng Shi, and do everything he can to teach you how to rob houses. It really has become a den of thieves."

"I have a sense of proportion." Zhaoyang was as confident as ever, but looking at Gu Ruyang, he was discouraged again: "You, don't even think about going back to sea with this body now, the imperial doctor in the palace and the foreign doctor have said, you You can’t work hard in the future, Zeng Shi is close to you, so you can take care of him, I lived in your Wanshi Port for a year, and you also stayed in my Niangui City for a year, I will give you this good medicine.”

"Yo," Gu Ruyang flicked his finger on Zhaoyang's head, tilting the crown a little: "So I, Wanshigang, are poorer than you? See how much of your treasury I gave you?" After a dowry, Mrs. Yazhai didn’t marry back, so it’s better if you have a flute at home, and you call me Empress Empress today, do you think I’m worthy of the words virtuous and virtuous?”

"If you don't like it, I'll make an order for you to be the emperor's husband tomorrow, okay?" Zhao Yang slapped Gu Ruyang on the head in retaliation: "You are worthy of the word heroic and brave."

Gu Ruyang and Zhaoyang looked at each other and smiled, feeling that today's conversation had a special flavor.

"Let's talk about something serious." Gu Ruyang held Zhaoyang's hand and put it on his lap: "Chu Han is dead, and the spies on Taiping Island are almost cleaned up. How are you going to compete with Beilu?" ?”

Gu Ruyang asked about the point. Zhaoyang really didn't have a desired result. She hated Beiqi for taking away her homeland, but she also knew how fatuous and cruel her uncle and grandfather were, and how incompetent and greedy the officials at that time were. She hated the Han family in Minhai for killing her mother and sisters in the Qionger Strait, but she also killed Chu Han to avenge her mother. Afterwards, the conflict with the Han family at sea also ended in a small victory on Taiping Island. There are still many opportunities for revenge, but where should we take the people of Taiping Island?Zhaoyang is also a little confused, but she is clear about one thing, no more wars, no more deaths, Da Zhou needs to cultivate, Taiping Island needs to cultivate, and most importantly, the people need to cultivate.

"Let's just leave it at that. With the Qionger Strait as the boundary, it's fine to keep them from coming over. The trade with Wanshi Port still needs to be done. Let's keep a low profile first."

"This is also a way." Gu Ruyang replied, but she felt a little lost in her heart. She thought that Zhaoyang would win the throne, and she could at least help Zhaoyang expand the territory on the sea, but now this body seems to be unable to do anything. up.

"What do you think of the situation in this world?" Zhaoyang asked.

"Looking blindly, I can't understand," Gu Ruyang said, "I just think that there will be no demon moths in my Wanshigang, and you and I can ride the wind and waves to walk around... That's all, my broken body, let's go!" It’s hard to go back to Wanshi Port, Hai Xing just said yesterday that Wan Erniang wanted to come and see me, but I rejected her, and I’m fishing recently, so what’s the use of seeing me without making any money.”

Zhaoyang also heard the abandonment in Gu Ruyang's words, and hurriedly comforted him: "Ginseng, deer antler, Atractylodes macrocephala, yes, and coconut fruit, the most important ones in the palace are those that replenish qi. After you have been cured by seven points, it is not difficult to use traditional Chinese medicine to make up for three points, you and I are still young, although these frustrating words."

Zhaoyang whispered again: "Last night, my son-in-law's performance was still very heroic."

Gu Ruyang is having fun again, Zhaoyang can always make him happy, but in fact, he has a lover by his side, so what more can a husband ask for?It's better than being happier than having only three years to live.

"Yi'an..." Gu Ruyang looked at the main hall. Recently, she hid behind the main hall and listened to Zhaoyang's political discussions. She used to think that this political discussion was like the discussion at the bow of her ship, but only recently did she know that the discussion at the bow of the pirate's ship has nothing to do with this Compared with discussing politics, the little witch met the great witch, everyone in the court is a fox, and there is something to say, no one is willing to speak out, this is not discussing politics, always attacking the heart, and Zhaoyang is more tired than before, Gu Ruyang is heartbroken .

"You can't be emperor forever, right?"

"How could it be!" Zhaoyang said: "I don't know what a free life is until I arrive at your Wanshi Port. After such a life, how can I like to be imprisoned?"

Gu Ruyang was secretly happy for a while, and Zhaoyang said again: "I have two things on my mind, one is to have an heir, the son of Li'an, Huan'an, and now Wu'an also has a child, in the end I still need to be able to choose one who will guard Niangui People in the city, the second thing," Zhaoyang looked at Gu Ruyang: "If your body is not cured, how can I rest assured, now that I am on top of Dabao, I can give you the best."

"I Yi'an has me in my heart." Gu Ruyang didn't care about this place, but now that he was in the Jinluan Hall, he pressed Zhaoyang and kissed him fiercely, making all the palace people turn their heads away.

Zhaoyang is still polite, she pushed Gu Ruyang away after a little intimacy, but her face was still blushing, Zhaoyang looked around again, it was full of palace people.

"By the way, where is Starfish? Didn't he come with you?" Zhaoyang asked.

"I just came here, now..." Gu Ruyang also looked around: "Maybe I went to your house to hold the sword."

"Feng Jian?" Zhaoyang was puzzled: "Could it be that the two of them really have something to do?"

"How do I know?" Gu Ruyang also looked at a loss: "I'm just joking, isn't it from the flute?"

"No, it's okay, Fengjian is so dexterous, Haixing is a bit stupid, I'm afraid it's not good enough."

"How do you know that Hai Xing is not good enough?" Gu Ruyang stood up from the throne: "I, Hai Xing, have high martial arts skills, honesty, and resistance to fighting. I am enough for you to hold a sword."

Zhaoyang covered his mouth and smiled, stood up and took Gu Ruyang's hand: "That's also the matter of the two of them. They said that a piece of crabapple was moved in the harem courtyard. I still remember that day at my princess's mansion, you took a crabapple. Are you about to marry me..."

"To shut up!"

"Go and have a look, Ruyang, let us wait for it to bloom."
