I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 125 Empty Gloves White Wolf

"Look, let's talk about it after reading it."

The empress had nothing to say, so she threw the letter of credence in her hand to Gao Yuanyi directly.

Gao Yuan stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at each word seriously.

I watched it once, from beginning to end, and watched it again.

It can be seen that his hands are trembling a little.

Obviously, like the empress, he saw some familiar methods, or... ways.

Fang Xiaoru is not a fool either.

After watching it, I had similar thoughts in my mind.

"Tell me." Seeing that both of them had finished reading, the empress spoke coldly.

say what?
do not know.

Gao Yuan lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth, seeming to be happy or mocking.

He lightly touched his blindfold with his right hand, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Where does the joy come from?"

"It's effortless to open up borders and crack the soil." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Northwest affairs have always been a troublesome matter."

"Now Gaochang is willing to cede the grassland, which is really good news."

The empress narrowed her eyes, looked at Gao Yuanyi coldly, without saying a word, without emotion.

People can't guess what she thinks.

After a while, he gently opened his red lips: "Fang Xiaoru, speak."

"My minister... seconded the proposal."

Fang Xiaoru sighed, and said with a wry smile: "The northwest grassland is really too important. It is really a good thing that Gao Chang is willing to give it up!"

"Not to mention how many war horses the Northwest Grassland can contribute every year, even the reduced military expenditure of the Northwest Army is an astronomical figure..."

The Empress was noncommittal.

He waited until Fang Xiaoru finished speaking, and then said, "If Gao Chang conspired, so what?"

"Your Majesty, even if it is Gaochang's conspiracy, Great Liang will not suffer any losses." Fang Xiaoru said solemnly, "According to the statement of the state, Gaochang gave up the grassland."

"My Great Liang, even outside the northwest frontier army, I have another enclave."

"Since it's an enclave, don't worry too much about it. Just use the grassland as a pasture and raise army horses for the needs of the Northwest Army."

"Moreover, Gaochang is willing to hand over 10 taels of cash to rent part of the pasture for grazing."

"Why not do this kind of thing?"

"My lord, this is... a real benefit!"

The empress naturally knows about the good things.

If not, she would not have discussed with Gao Yuanyi and Fang Xiaoru.

It is undeniable that Gao Chang's letter of credence really touched her heart.

The grassland enclave was handed over to Great Liang to serve as this year's tribute.Another 10 taels of silver was donated to lease half of the grassland for grazing.

From any point of view, it is beneficial to Great Liang and has no harm at all!
As for the trade that Gaochang is looking for, it is not too difficult.

The only problem... is the reward.

Just like what Tang Can said in the Gaochang royal court earlier.

When Gaochang paid tribute, Daliang would definitely return property of corresponding value as a reward.

Moreover, rewards can only be increased, not decreased.

……

The next day.

morning meeting.

The empress ordered people to recite the letter of credence, and then ordered the courtiers to discuss.

A second ago, the court hall, which was still quiet, turned into a vegetable market in an instant.

Civil and military officials, as if they were kneeling sparsely, all kinds of flattery, as if they didn't want money, were thrown directly at the empress's head.

"One emperor through the ages", "Subduing the enemy without fighting", "Daliang is orthodox, and all nations come to court", and so on, kept ringing out.

Everyone is immersed in excitement.

However, when it came to rewards, the officials had some disputes.

On the one hand, Gaochang stated in the letter of credence that Gaochang was short of food and needed the help of Great Liang.

Many generals believed that Gaochang could not be given food.It's better to give some gold and silver treasures, that's all.

After all, the two countries have been enemies for many years, and the border dispute has been going on for an unknown number of years, and the number of Great Liang soldiers who have died is unknown.

If you donate food just like this, it is tantamount to raising tigers.

Civil servants take a very different view.Since Gaochang paid tribute and proclaimed himself a vassal, Daliang, as a superior state, couldn't be stingy.

What's more, there is no shortage of food in Great Liang, where potatoes and sweet potatoes are close by, gold and silver treasures are even more important!

In general.

The courtroom was in disarray, with the public saying that the public was right and the wife saying that the woman was right, and the quarrel was so turbulent.

The empress felt a headache after hearing this.

As far as her heart is concerned, her choice must be to give food.

Money, to her, is life.

Let’s talk about the prairie enclave.

It is impossible not to eat the fat in the mouth!
If this is the case, the people don't know what will happen!
This method, completely, is a conspiracy.

Gao Ming, I can't talk about it.But it was just right, exactly what the empress needed!

"Enough!" The Empress said coldly: "My will has been decided, since Gao Chang is willing to hand over the grassland, it is naturally impossible for Great Liang not to accept it!"

"However, there is no need to make up your mind today."

"I want to go to the northwest, stay at the Zhenbei Army, and take a good look at the grassland!"

The huge court hall was instantly silent.

No one expected that the Empress would propose to go to the Zhenbei Army at this time.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Xiaoru spoke first: "The Holy Majesty's tour is no small matter, guards of honor, etc., all need to be prepared, and..."

After Fang Xiaoru, others also opened their mouths.

Only Gao Yuanyi smiled and said nothing.

He very much agreed with the empress going to the northwest.

after all.

He also really wanted to go to the northwest to see for himself whether that person was in Gaochang!
"Since I became the throne, I have never patrolled the border. This time, I will only go to the northwest, and I will travel lightly."

"Come on, take a look at the Northwest Frontier Army!"

"Secondly, I want to see Gao Chang with my own eyes!"

"Didn't your gentlemen often say that what you hear is what you see and what you see is what you see, and there are still people who say that I don't care about the suffering of people's livelihood?"

"This time, I care about it. Why do you gentlemen stop it?"

"Or is it that your family is afraid that I will leave the palace and see that the people in the world will have a hard time?"

Speaking of this, it would be inappropriate to stop him.

after all.

The empress has already made it very clear that the purpose of patrolling the border is to visit the northwest frontier army.

Anyone who stops them will have trouble with the Northwest Frontier Army.

Whoever stops it is tricky.

"Your Majesty... if you leave the palace, no one can solve the major affairs of the government!"

Fang Xiaoru still didn't give up, bit the bullet and tried to dissuade the empress from leaving Beijing again.

No husband, no heir, no one to supervise the country.

only……

The empress had already made up her mind, how could this trivial matter stop her.

In a single word, all problems are solved.

"Wenge pays attention to the capital, and handles it cheaply. If there is any uncertainty, send it to Xingyuan urgently, and I will deal with it myself."

Before Fang Xiaoru could speak, the other Wenge Grand Scholars agreed first.

Who wants to miss this kind of opportunity that can go down in history?
at the same time.

Gaochang royal court.

Tang Can and Tuoba sat opposite each other, with serious faces: "My lord, either you kill me, or you just listen to my advice..."

Beside them, Long Qing and his men surrounded them!
