To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 267 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

After the four brothers drank, You Miao felt dejected and sighed in his heart. He knew that Nie Dan was still unresolved.Nie Dan himself is also responsible.And Zhao Chao has become much more rational after these years, and knows how to deal with feelings and the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

It's a pity that they can never go back to the past. They can no longer be like the night when they just returned to the south, everyone was drunk, stumbling around, talking and laughing in the garden, making a great wish, saying a few words about family and country The vision of Wanmin... Some things, some people, lie in my heart, like a scar that will never heal, I can only try to avoid it, and never touch it again.

After the banquet in the garden was over, You Miao went to take a shower and came out, seeing Nie Dan and Qiao Rong standing in the garden, not knowing what to say.

He wanted to go forward, but he saw Zhao Chao standing at the other end of the corridor.

Zhao Chao shook his head very slowly at You Miao, and You Miao stood quietly.

Zhao Chao waved to You Miao again, motioning for him to come over.

As soon as You Miao took a step, Li Zhifeng put a hand on his shoulder behind his back.

You Miao looked back, smiled at Zhao Chao, and saluted Zhao Chao at the same time as Li Zhifeng. Zhao Chao had clear eyes and nodded to go to sleep, it's getting late.

Li Zhifeng took You Miao's hand and went back to the room.

"What do you think brother Nie and cousin will say?" You Miao said.

Li Zhifeng was lying on the couch with his clothes on, legs crossed, reeking of alcohol, and said indifferently: "You and Li Yanjiu won't meet again, what will you say?"

You Miao was stunned for a moment at first, but when she came back to her senses, she said frantically, "It's different!"

You Miao jumped onto the bed and pressed Li Zhifeng's lower abdomen, Li Zhifeng moved away with a smile.

"Murdered my husband!" Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao said angrily: "Be careful of gaining weight! You haven't typed a He Motie yet, so you're ashamed to laugh!"

Li Zhifeng said helplessly: "It's you who caused me to waste my martial arts. I'm no longer He Motie'er's opponent."

You Miao knew that Li Zhifeng was not He Motie'er's opponent in the first place, but he didn't expect Li Zhifeng to be excited when he said this, so he shook his hand and said, "Then you are not allowed to go back to Quanrong, what if you get injured? ?”

"Come here." Li Zhifeng stretched out his hand with a smile, hugged You Miao into his arms, and said with a smile, "Look how strong your husband's waist is..."

"Hmm." Li Zhifeng blocked You Miao's lips, hugged her in the quilt, and let out a comfortable belch.

Waking up the next day, Zhao Chao and Nie Dan left, and Qiao Rong was left sitting in the hall, drinking tea, chatting with You Dechuan and Mrs. You, both of them were talking with a smile on their faces.You Miao woke up sleepily, and sat in the living room. Qiao Rong glanced at him and asked, "Eat now? Breakfast is already prepared."

"Hmm." You Miao replied, "Good morning to the queen."

Qiao Jue ordered breakfast to be served, and Li Zhifeng also came out. After the family had breakfast, You Dechuan wanted to ask about Beijiang again. This time, You Miao did not hide anything and said everything, Qiao Rong worried. : "Before I went back to the villa, I heard rumors in the palace that you have connections with foreign countries."

"It doesn't matter." You Miao replied casually: "The rumors from the Tang family and the Li family? As expected, I can kill He Motie'er, and I will accept ten hats."

"You should pay more attention when you go back this time." Qiao Rong said, "You haven't been to court for several years, things have changed, and people have changed."

You Miao nodded, knowing that there are people in the court is good, Qiao Rong has also paid attention to these years, carefully collected information for You Miao, You Miao listened carefully while eating.At the end, Qiao Rong asked again: "I heard that the Khan in the north sent a letter to ask His Majesty for peace?"

"He doesn't want to fight." You Miao said, "Neither does Nanchao."

Qiao Rong's eyes narrowed, with a look of worry, and You Miao said again: "But promise, promise, I won't negotiate peace with him."

"The ministers have different opinions on the peace negotiation." Qiao Rong sighed worriedly, and said separately: "The Grand Scholars want to negotiate peace the most. After all, the territory south of the Yellow River has been recovered. I see that His Majesty has reviewed the memorials since the end of last year. Many of them are due to negotiations."

You Miao also sighed, and said, "Aside from Li Yan, who else is there in the Zhuhe faction?"

Today is different from the past. In the past, the prince and the old emperor were in the hands of the Tatars, so they were taboos. However, after several years of accumulation, the Southern Dynasty has already possessed the strength to start a war with the North.You Miao knew that Li Yan wanted to negotiate a peace.Because Li Yan can't lead troops to fight, let alone build military exploits.

Therefore, only by negotiating peace can Li Yan display his talents, and why Nie Dan returned to the court at this time has a very clear purpose.However, there are many things Nie Dan can't say, let alone say.The rest is up to You Miao.

It is expected that Li Yan and You Miao themselves will become the leaders of the peace faction and the war faction in the near future.

"Half of the six ministers listened to him." Qiao Rong said: "After you left, Xie Hui pushed back the second year to be a political adviser, and he was old. This vacancy has been hanging."

You Miao glanced at the seal of Zaifu on the table. After returning to the court, he was the Zaifu under one person and above ten thousand people.

You Miao glanced at Li Zhifeng and said, "You should still take over the Yangzhou Army. If there is no accident, there will be a big quarrel between the civil servants and the army, so be careful."

"Understood." Li Zhifeng replied.

Qiao Rong said: "Zhi Feng is also careful."

After You Miao had breakfast, she asked Qiao Jue to help pack her luggage, and then she and Li Zhifeng set out on the road to Maocheng by herself.

You Miao's comeback was expected by the entire court.But only he knew in his heart that what he was going to fight this time was bound to be a fierce battle.

Yangzhou has not changed for many years, and the spring scenery is the same as before. You Miao couldn't help but feel a little tired after seeing the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years. There is a sense of burnout, especially in this eventful time.

After Li Zhifeng came back, he went to the Ministry of War to report, while You Miao went back to the Political Affairs Hall first, but the door of the Political Affairs Hall was closed.

You Miao thought to herself, don't you know I'm back?Absolutely impossible, closing the door, are you going to give me a blow first?Tang Bo, oh Tang Bo, after so many years, why are you still in this temper.

"Young and young leave home and the boss returns." You Miao stood at the door and said with a smile: "The local accent has not changed..."

The door opened with a creak, and a person was startled by the incident and said, "You Ziqian!"

"Master You!" In this way, the Zhengshitang got the news, and they lined up to greet You Miao at the door.

Everyone has matured a lot, and under Tang Bo's leadership, they all looked at You Miao.

"Master You." Tang Bo laughed.

"Master Tang." You Miao was serious, and returned Tang Bo's gift. The documents from the official department were delivered at the same time, which saved You Miao's heart, and he didn't have to deal with it. In the court, You Miao was too happy to go to the court, so he read the important memorials that had been accumulated in the past few years in the political affairs hall.

He knew all these things in the villa, but now it was just a check. Tang Bo entered and explained: "During the court this morning, His Majesty announced to all the ministers in the hall that the door of the political affairs hall after the next court was almost squeezed by the ministers. , I had no choice but to close the door and thank the guests.”

You Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied, "It's okay."

Tang Bo said again: "At the beginning of spring this year, taxes, government orders, etc. have not yet been promulgated. Earlier, the Imperial Academy sent government orders and documents, which have been slightly adjusted compared with previous years."

You Miao just glanced at it and said, "Where's the advance payment from the household department?"

Sitting sideways on the table beside him, Tang Bo said, "It will take three days for the Ministry of Accounts to finalize the advance payment."

"All the decrees drafted by Li Yan are suppressed." You Miao said: "No. General Nie will return to the court. After a while, the Political Affairs Hall will draft a new document to increase taxes to [-]% this year."

Tang Bo didn't speak.

You Miao said: "His Majesty has been preparing for the Northern Expedition for three years..."

Tang Bodao: "Lord You, the court today is different from what it was then."

"I know." You Miao said lightly: "If it's the same as before, I don't have to come back."

Tang Bo sighed, nodded, and replied, "Understood."

Seeing that Tang Bo couldn't persuade You Miao, he left alone. You Miao flipped through the files of the people's livelihood, and as time went by, his face became more and more serious.He knew what Tang Bo meant. Apocalypse seemed to have accumulated enough resources, but there were too many corrupt officials, the government was corrupt, farmers everywhere were exploited, and the situation of being harshly treated remained unchanged, only a little better than a few years ago.

At this time, the Northern Expedition is about to take place, and the situation is really not optimistic.
