laughing soul

Brother Guan Yang, who doesn't speak his mind, is simply the most well-behaved prisoner Qiu Sheng has ever seen in his interrogation career. Two bachelors jointly wrote a peerless good article for his plagiarism in the examination room and other scandals. He even stood in the wrong team and scolded his accomplice with the old and cunning interrogator. The words were fierce and indignant , even Qiu Sheng, who was in a fit of anger, couldn't catch up.

Although Cai Du was a spineless and weak chicken, it was still too wronged to have such a stick that was kicked out of his head by a silly donkey as a companion after all.

Since the recruitment is clean and thorough, it can be regarded as opening the way for Qiu Sheng to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials, and with the help of his father, a well-known rich businessman in Huadu, he cannot be severely punished due to emotion and reason.However, when Qiu Sheng wandered around the rivers and lakes, he had a friendship with this person after all. No matter how he dealt with it, Guan Yang would definitely blame him for being too heavy handed. Where has this rich man seen all kinds of gaudy instruments of torture in Dali Temple?There is no comparison, I must feel that what I have suffered is the torture of the sky, and crying for my father and mother is inevitable.

Qiu Sheng didn't want to get involved in those troubles, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he handed Guan Yang over to Dali Temple Qing to take care of him. I was so aggrieved that I was about to bleed those words.

It's Qiu Sheng's normal behavior to throw away burdens all the way, but usually the reason is that there are more troublesome things that can't be avoided no matter what, waiting for him to deal with. After all, Long Live Lord is not such a debt-free shopkeeper. , more or less take care of serious business.

For example, right now, this huge pile of memorials is going to burst Qiu Sheng's head. Fortunately, there is Chu Yu who leans against the wall and reads with him.As soon as you feel that your heart is burning but not uncomfortable, you can look up at the little smile that person always brings with you, and if one glance doesn't work, just look twice, and within three times, the big fire can be poured out off.

Holding the ink pen, he let out a long sigh, and deeply examined whether it was because he spent all his patience and good temperament on Chu Yu that he was particularly angry when faced with the papers presented by these ugly monsters.

Thinking of this, Qiu Sheng raised his head again to look at the tall and tall Chu Yu, his heart suddenly softened inexplicably, and while smacking the corner of his mouth, he thought contentedly, so what if he is angry at the old monsters?Just let this person stand here for a while, so that he can look up and watch, and he can willingly admit any unhappiness or heinous crime.

The feudal lords of the Fenghuo Opera bought and laughed, and the lychee of thousands of miles came immediately, and became a beauty in anger... When I was young, I didn't know how to talk about it affectionately in idle books, but now it is vivid and fragrant in front of me. I would like to be a fool of the ages for this.

The more he thought about it, the longer his eyes would be. Even though Chu Yu could calm down, he couldn't bear it anymore. He read a line of words upside down three or four times, and he knew every word, but it was difficult to organize it. understand why.Reluctantly reading it a few more times was still in vain, so I had no choice but to put down the medical book and look up, just in time to meet Qiu Sheng's eyes that were too late to look back. Both of them were a little embarrassed, they turned their heads away at the same time.

"Ah Yu, don't..." Qiu Sheng couldn't find the smooth-tongued fourth master Qiu Sheng in his daily life. After searching around for a long time, he still couldn't find a good one. , could only stumble and froze.

say what?don't you go?Don't you be angry?I have no other meaning?

He was dragged here from the small bamboo hut by playing a scoundrel, and kept saying that he wanted to concentrate on reviewing the memorial, but this time, he was thrown into the sea and half died.

It seems that when you care too much about another person's feelings, you always feel that no matter what you say or do, it is wrong.

It would be more secure if he was serious about it, but right now he even has a half-knowledge of the other party's life experience and even his physical condition, and this half-knowledge is mostly guesswork. Qiu Sheng is no longer shrinking, he is simply trembling Walking on eggshells.

"What did they all say?"

After a while, Chu Yu felt at ease, rolled Xu Liushan's medical books without mercy, walked behind Qiu Sheng and took out two memorials, roughly flipped through them, and his expression suddenly became unsightly: "This is all What? Don't military planes stop everywhere?"

Qiu Sheng took a deep breath to calm down, glanced at the corner of his eyes, and found that one of the memorials that Chu Yu randomly removed was from the left minister Lu Yun, and the other was from Zhao Yan, the inspector. The two people's intentions were not Unusable, but the words are quite inappropriate, some gossiping or too extreme, it is obviously about how to deal with the wealthy businessmen from all over the world. , the latter scolded Qiu Sheng for his behavior of leading the Northwest Army's charge regardless of personal safety, and wrote nonsense such as "A country cannot live without a king, where is your majesty's peace and stability?" above.

When the mountains and rivers were shattered, a sour literati jumped out to reiterate the importance of saving face. Not to mention Qiu Sheng who fought bloody battles and met the scolding Qiu Sheng, even Chu Yu almost spit out blood when he saw it.

If this kind of atmosphere prevails in the imperial court, can a country still be a country, and a family still be a family?

Qiu Sheng from the side naturally took a full view of these subtle changes in his expression, clearly knowing what he was worried about, but deliberately jokingly said: "Don't be afraid, Ah Yu, I will not go to the harem long ago."

After hanging out with this person for a long time, Chu Yuchun just rubbed his ears when a gust of evil wind blows past this level of bastard, and then turned serious and said: "Is there such a thing? Is there no one who can speak reliably?"

Qiu Sheng rummaged through a pile of small notebooks for a long time, found a few and handed them over: "Hu Tiandu, Jiang Chen, Wang Jiusi, and Ding Gu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, although they have different political opinions, they all shine. Old man I have never seen what it is like to be swaying in the rivers and rivers in my life. Besides, the first emperor hid it too well. He ate silver taels lavishly. have a look."

Chu Yu took it over and flipped it over, and suddenly felt that the blind optimism in this person's heart was a terminal illness that could not be cured.

These people thought that the treasury still had room for turnover, and they still wrote "picture it slowly" in the booklets, but they didn't know that their Majesty already wanted to secretly call the Jinyiwei to raid the house and grab rice to eat.

"Slowly, there will be more soldiers coming in." Chu Yu read Jiang Chen's notes intently, and compared them side by side with Wang Jiusi's, "It has always been a tradition to replace high-value silver notes with silver notes. The real money can be collected with worthless paper bills, and the national treasury crisis will be eased first. The army and the newly built navy are reorganized and can be brought to the battlefield. The most important thing is that these accounts can be slowly paid in installments. For example, one-tenth of a year or something, or you can always control the bulk of your financial resources in the treasury."

"It's a way," Qiu Sheng nodded in agreement. "It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning. How do you collect the first batch of money? Those big merchants are probably misers, and none of them are willing to take money out."

After all, the traditional concept of Chinese people is still willing to buy a house instead of renting a house, and they prefer shiny silver ingots to pieces of paper that will blow away when the wind blows.

Chu Yu smiled nonchalantly: "It's fine if you don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine. If you don't want to take it, you can force it out."

Qiu Sheng was stunned: "How forced?"

"Currently there is not enough troops in the army, and Master Dong Qi of the Ministry of War has already recruited troops all over the Central Plains with great fanfare. Although it is our duty to risk our lives when the great power is about to fall, the world is erratic, and there will always be people who just want to stay safe for themselves and try to stay out of it. People," Chu Yu found Cai Du's memorial and handed it to Qiu Sheng, "Since you have money to buy an official, why worry about having no money to change your life?"

"You're going to..."

"It's better not to take these fleshy worms with big heads and big ears and no combat effectiveness. Right now, young and middle-aged men between the ages of 16 and 50 are recruited, and they are forced to recruit. They will not let their heads fall on the spot. In this way, 50 taels of silver for each How is the person?" Chu Yu still had a flat expression on his face, "No, teach students according to their aptitude, so that the rich and the rich are 150 taels each, and the poor are 20 taels each. There is also a minimum quota, and we can't be afraid of death and no one will be sent to the army... Ugh Well, big families can only spend money to keep half of the qualified adults, while small families... small families don’t need to worry about it, they can’t afford it.”

"You're blackmailing," Qiu Sheng couldn't laugh or cry, "The outside has not been cleaned up yet, what should I do if my own people revolt again?"

Chu Yu opened his eyes slightly, and looked at him in surprise: "Where is the blackmail? Let the world know that paper bills and silver bills have the same effect. If any store does not cooperate..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Qiu Sheng continued, "Kill them and hurry up... Anyway, I can't kill a few."

"That's right, most ordinary people who are not butchers have never seen blood in their entire lives, and one chicken is enough to kill chickens to make an example of monkeys," Chu Yu said, turning his head and smiling, "This is a special method during wartime. Once the world is at peace, we must quickly restore the normal system.”

When external troubles are imminent, everyone will usually be united beyond the ordinary.All those busy minds who worry about trivial matters on weekdays are all in one direction at this time, that is, the war is over, the river is clear and the sea is clean, and Da Viet is safe and sound.

War lowers IQ. If peace comes down, these bad tricks will not be able to fool them.

"I understand, these things are waiting for you to teach my little nephew," Qiu Sheng looked serious for a long time, sat on the chair and looked up at Chu Yu who was leaning on the back of the chair, and his mind immediately flew away again.

He held the rolled medical book in one hand, and read the memorial he had just finished reviewing in the other. The slightly open placket revealed a thin and fair neck, and the profile of his face was reflected in the light, which added three points of color.

If what he had in his hand was not a notebook but a copy of The West Chamber, if he was not trapped in the palace but outside the mountains and fields, Qiu Sheng would feel that his life was complete and he would have nothing to ask for.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally lowered his head sadly.

The heavy responsibility is above all, so what if there is more love for children?

It is a great fortune not to be crushed under this Mount Tai, at least for now, he dare not ask for anything else.

"These things are the tasks of the Military Aircraft Department. Let them take a look at them later. After all, there are more people, and the thinking is more comprehensive." Chu Yu stretched out his hand to gather his neckline, and lowered his head, "I have to go."

Qiu Sheng was taken aback: "Let's go?"

He raised his head to meet Chu Yu's clear eyes, and the uncontrollable panic on his face seemed to frighten him.Chu Yu's pupils narrowed slightly, and he paused for a moment before smiling, "I'm going to get the horse, Xue Qianli told me to stay at the Huadu station. Are you thinking that I'm going to die?"

He blurted out the word "death", and Qiu Sheng even suspected that even if it was true, he would accept it so easily.

He agreed, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then suddenly gently pulled Chu Yu's hand on the table to hold it, briefly rubbed it for a moment to heat it up, and kissed the tip of his index finger without leaving any traces, without making a sound. let go.

He tried his best to control his voice calmly: "Come back early."

Chu Yu leaned half on his body, watched the hair spinning on the top of the man's head, held his breath for a while, and forced the sentence "The military plane is here to help you, so what if I don't come back?" It was replaced by a very light and warm response.

"Well, soon."

Qiu Sheng closed his eyes.

The owner of the pavilion is a person who can go as fast as he wants, and he doesn't need to pack his luggage. He took a pot of water and a handful of silver and went on the road. He rolled up the manuscript and put it in the small basket on the horse inside.

He left the customs one by one before dawn, and Qiu Sheng was still fighting with Cai Du in the Palace of Political Affairs, so he couldn't get out to see him off.

Guan Yang made a confession that day, and almost dragged the entire bureaucracy into trouble, but now that the foundation of Qiu Sheng's ascension to the throne is not stable, it is not easy to uproot the bureaucracy in ordinary days.Shangshu Cai Du is also an eye for money, and his subordinates are naturally a bunch of mobs who are only interested in profit. They have no serious skills, but their background and family fortune are more impressive than each other. Just copying one can support half the imperial court. The power is definitely not small, if he acts rashly, there is no guarantee that these desperadoes will not use all their strength to fight him to the death.

Coupled with the official waist card taken from Dandou's hand, he was terrified for a long time, and found that Nan Ji and the man that day were not the same person, and he felt uncomfortable while letting go.If it was someone from outside, how could it be so easy to get the waist card in order?The framing was so appropriate, it was obvious that he knew his whereabouts like the back of his hand.

Now he is more worried, but he still can't believe the officials, Qiu Sheng keenly feels that this is probably the other party's purpose.

He was exhausted, and there was really nowhere to put his thoughts, so he reluctantly put them all on Chu Yu, and went to Huadu with him.

As soon as the pavilion master entered Xu Liushan's stable, he subconsciously turned around and hid for a while with self-knowledge. Coincidentally, he just dodged Xue Qianli's hooves that had been accumulated for a long time with both grief and indignation, and successfully avoided Risk of disfigurement.

It seems that this pair of masters and servants have a precise positioning for each other, but under such circumstances, Xue Qianli still sticks to his post and never turns his face against Chu Yu. , it can be seen from this point.

Chu Yu fed it a handful of hay with a smiling face, after a thousand miles of snow, he realized that it was a lump of unpalatable and gritty border specialty grass, so he rushed into Xu Liushan's small medical clinic, and put Xue Qianli's mournful wail wishful thinking closed the door, pretending she couldn't hear it.

Xue Qianli thought that she must have committed some crimes in her previous life, so she was caught by Chu Yu when she was picking a horse back then.

After calming down his own horse, Chu Yu turned to look at Xu Liushan, and found that the other party was wearing a pile of big white beards, and was about to hurt him a few times, when he remembered that he was also wearing an ugly mask to scare people everywhere. Extraordinary, I feel that I really don't have the qualifications to speak of others, so I coughed a few times and swallowed the words: "Thank you, Xu Liushan, Xue Qianli is not a good servant."

Xu Liushan, who abused small animals every day, waved his hands without blushing and said modestly: "It should be... You don't just come here to get horses, right? My medicine cabinet didn't add anything new... Or should you go and see for yourself?"

"You can make some more of the medicine that you gave me last time, and I'll take it away. I don't need the rest," Chu Yu half rolled up his cuffs, and stretched out a forearm, "Take the pulse for me, I'm not good at learning. My pulse is chaotic, and I can't figure out what to do. Well, after finishing it, I will prescribe a prescription for me to stabilize my Qi and blood."

Xu Liushan looked up at him, and said honestly, "I can't stand it."

Chu Yu took a cup of tea with the other hand and was drinking it. Hearing this, he just raised his eyes and smiled at him: "If you can't be steady, you have to be steady. Recently, the number of qi and blood deficiency and impediment to return to the top has increased. Black blood can't stand such a vomit. The doctor's parents are heartbroken, and I beg Brother Xu to stop it for me."

Xu Liushan snorted, "How long do you want to be stable? How long do you want to live?"

Chu Yu slightly narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then replied, "Of course it is..."

"The more the better, right?" Xu Liushan withdrew his finger for feeling the pulse, but he was not in a hurry to write a prescription, "Don't ask me, just ask yourself, how long can you survive with this dilapidated body? Right now, don't you prepare Living like a torment?"

Chu Yu coughed lightly and pulled down his sleeves, lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

"I don't know what you went to the capital for, but it obviously took a toll on your spirit. You're getting thinner and sicker," Xu Liushan said with a blunt tone, "A year and a half, at most a year and a half."

Chu Yu's hand hanging by his side trembled slightly, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Is there no way to extend it?"

A year and a half, what to do?Help Qiu Sheng restore the world's clarity and well-being?Did the technique of leaving the soul and expelling the soul really make Chu Quan disappear?

It's better to wash and sleep.

"This year and a half is a bit long as I said. In fact, after a year, you will be just a panting dementia. Do you think those poisons on Kunlun Mountain are ordinary people?" Seeing his pale face, Xu Liushan said, I had no choice but to make my voice gentler, "If you are cured, it will take at most a year and a half. If you are in a hurry, you can't leave the two ends. I will try to speed up and keep you in the hospital for the first four months." , isn’t that much?”

Chu Yu raised his head to look at him, and forced a smile.

"I don't understand you anymore. What's wrong with being alive? Just let go of those major events in the world, how many caring people are willing to ask you to prolong your life for a few days? And give up this time because you don't know what. Are you really willing?"

The person Xu Liushan slapped him on was actually Yun Yuan, but unfortunately, this person didn't know what happened to the Pavilion Master in the capital. He hesitated sincerely.

Xu Liushan saw that this person did not speak, on the one hand he was relieved to see that the owner of his pavilion finally began to seriously consider treating his illness, on the other hand he was extremely surprised to find that Aunt Yun's years of pestering had actually worked, and this piece of wood had escaped. But the world of mortals is about to be conquered just like that.

Chu Yu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason, so he waved his hand and said, "Prescribe the prescription first, and discuss this matter later."

The renegotiation in his mouth was basically equivalent to agreeing, and the rest was just a matter of time, Xu Liushan said "Amitabha Buddha" with emotion, and strode to the medicine cabinet to get the medicine.
