After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

In Kyoto, common people went crazy over the news that they could find gold by traveling west.

In the mysterious court, there was also a fierce debate over whether to merge the towns into states.

"No! How can the seven border towns fall into the hands of one person?" The Minister of War was the first to jump out and express his opposition.

These seven towns are directly connected to the Minister of War.

If they were to be divided into states, and Gu Nanxi was appointed as the governor of a border state, wouldn't it mean that part of his power as the Minister of War would be lost?

Gu Nanxi is not someone who is easy to get along with. Once something enters her mouth, there is no way she will spit it out.

Censor Jiang firmly supported Gu Nanxi: "Why not? The general is supposed to command the military defense of the seven towns. Merging the towns into a state is just icing on the cake and will give the general more convenience."

The Minister of War glared at Censor Jiang, as if he wanted to eat him alive: "You said it lightly. If the general has evil intentions, she sits on the border and colludes with the northern border, then you will be the sinner of the entire Great Zhou!"

Censor Jiang sneered and said, "Even if you betray my lord, the general will not betray the country!"

"You!" The Minister of War was shaking with anger.

At this time, other civil servants also stood up and said, "Censor Jiang, what you said is too harsh. Let's discuss the matter at hand!"

The Minister of War crossed his arms, raised the corners of his mouth, and glanced at Censor Jiang.

However, he didn't expect that he had just laughed for two seconds when he heard his colleagues change the subject.

The Minister of Revenue: "But this is also a good thing. We have to invest a lot of money in the seven border towns every year, but on the contrary we can't collect much tax."

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue looked at the others and suggested, “The county magistrates of the seven border towns all wrote to the emperor, saying that as long as they were unified into states, they were willing to bear the expenses and no longer require subsidies from the court.”

The Minister of War did not believe it: "You have been fooled by them! Don't we know what the border is like? It is amazing that they can support themselves, let alone support the army! By the time the matter is done and he cries to the court that he is so poor that he can't even afford to eat, can we really ignore him?!"

The Minister of Revenue looked around: "But, there is General Gu Nanxi at the border! Don't forget the real estate speculation in Kyoto!"

Reminded by these words, everyone seemed to remember the fear of being dominated by housing prices in Beijing!

At this time, other people also stood up.

"That's right. The eldest son of the Su family is still in Kyoto, the second son of the Su family is still in the Hangzhou Shipyard, and Gu Nanxi's entire fortune is also in the Central Plains. Who else is more suitable than her to be the county governor?"

Censor Jiang glanced at the person who spoke without leaving a trace. This person was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The Minister of Justice is already old, and the Vice Minister of Justice is the designated candidate for the position.

He usually had a stern face and would not make any statement on court affairs unless asked.

However, he did not expect that this time he would take the initiative to speak for Gu Nanxi, and jumped directly from the topic of whether to merge the town into a state to who should be appointed as the county magistrate.

The Minister of Rites said: "General Gu Nanxi has made great contributions, but His Majesty has not yet had time to reward him. Why not take this opportunity to reward him?"

Seeing that the matter was about to be concluded, the Minister of War had no choice but to look to Grand Tutor Tong for help.

Master Tong would definitely not want to see Gu Nanxi rise to prominence!

Seeing this, the Imperial College Priest closest to Master Tong leaned over to Master Tong's ear and whispered, "Sir, Gu Nanxi easily solved the siege at the border. If His Majesty takes this opportunity to transfer Gu Nanxi back to the court, then when the time comes, Gu Nanxi and Cui Sanlun will be in collusion with each other, which will probably cause us a lot of trouble."

"Why not just lock Gu Nanxi up at the border? The Tartars go south every year, and they suffered a great loss at the hands of Gu Nanxi this year, all because of Gu Nanxi's sneak attack. By next year, the Tartars will be on guard and will definitely not let Gu Nanxi off easily!"

Master Tong still did not express his opinion, and the Imperial College continued to add fuel to the fire: "As the head of a county, there are many aspects to consider. Gu Nanxi has never been a local official, and has no experience. He is also short of people and money. There will inevitably be omissions, and we will take advantage of the opportunity then..."

The chief academician of the Imperial College lowered his eyes and waited quietly for Master Tong's choice.

In fact, the person who least wanted Gu Nanxi to return to Kyoto was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College!

At first he thought that the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion would be completely destroyed, and if Gu Nanxi didn't die, he would be badly injured, so he used the letter "Spring Goes and Winter Comes" as evidence to falsely accuse the Yongchang Marquis.

However, in such a dead end situation, Gu Nanxi was able to turn the situation around, which really caught everyone off guard!

The chief academic officer of the Imperial College narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart sank even more when he thought of the study room that had been ransacked that night.

The young emperor at the top also paid attention to Grand Tutor Tong.

When the young emperor saw that Master Tong’s lips were tightly pursed into a slit and his face was gloomy, he suddenly made a decision with his originally hesitant thoughts!

Compared to Master Tong, my sister is more trustworthy!

"The seven military towns of Woye, Huaishuo, Fuming, Rouyi, Huaihuang, Yuyi, and Wuchuan were unified into a state named Yunzhou! General Gu Nanxi has made great contributions to the country, so he is appointed as the governor of Yunzhou, in charge of all matters within the territory of Yunzhou!"

After the young emperor issued the imperial edict, he glanced at Grand Tutor Tong and saw that his expression became increasingly gloomy. He felt secretly proud.

Because Grand Tutor Tong remained silent during the court meeting, the young emperor's edict was smoothly conveyed.

The whole Kyoto was shaken.

"They can even merge the towns into a state?! General Gu Nanxi is the governor of Yunzhou?!"

The atmosphere in Fuquan Teahouse is as boiling as a pot of porridge!

"As expected, you can find gold by traveling west! With such a big change at the border, it must be a big development!"

"No wonder he is the richest man, his vision is amazing!"

"Don't you think that the emperor trusts General Gu Nanxi too much? He is called a governor, but his power is so great, what's the difference between him and a king?" Some people were so jealous that they lost their minds.

To become a Hanlin, I had to study hard for so many years and give gifts everywhere. Gu Nanxi was just a woman. She just won a battle by chance and she was able to become a governor of a state!

This is a psychological problem, it is really hard to balance!

As for why there were not so many sour remarks when Gu Nanxi was the general, it was because the Great Zhou Dynasty valued civil officials over military officials, and no matter how great a general he was, he was still a military officer.

But the situation is different for provincial governors. How many provincial governors are there in the entire Great Zhou? !

Why does Gu Nanxi do that? !

Song Da rolled his eyes and angrily said, "If you have this ability, you can apply to go to the border! Live a life full of sand and dust, licking blood on the tip of a knife! If you can't do it, don't say you are a general."

"That's right! What's more, Yunzhou has made a harsh statement this time, saying that it will not accept subsidies from the court! If you were the governor of Yunzhou, would you be able to do it?!"

The man was speechless and ran away in shame.

Chairman Chen and others, who got the news earlier than ordinary people, were waiting for Su Yunyan at the gate of Yongchang Marquis Mansion...
