In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Gu Li was bored, saw Chen Feng's residence newspaper aside, picked it up and looked through it carefully.This mansion newspaper is not the one from yesterday, it's a new one today, and the first article on it is the news that Gu Li ordered the rebels to be pardoned.

Gu Li suddenly wanted to know if Chen Feng had read the mansion newspaper, and whether he had put down his butcher knife and went home to farm, so he patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and asked, "Master Chen, look at the mansion newspaper, the emperor pardoned us." Yijun, we will not be held accountable for past mistakes."

Chen Feng raised his head in his busy schedule, glanced at the mansion, and sneered: "Mr. Sai must have given him another idea."

After that, his eyes were glued to the paper again.

? ? ?that's all?

This reaction is completely different from what Gu Li expected!

Even if you are not moved by your magnanimity, at least you have to consider whether to stop here, right?Why did he just say that?

Gu Li was not convinced, and asked: "Chen Tianshi, what do you think?"

Chen Feng turned his head and commented: "Mr. Sai is a bit wise. Since he made a move, then I can only see the trick."

"You...how are you going to see the trick?"

"He wanted to reduce the rebel army to zero, so I wanted the rebel army to hate the imperial court and be hostile to the imperial court. If the imperial court issued an order, as long as the rebel army did not believe it, then the order would be a dead letter."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he turned his head back and continued to study the refractive index.

Gu Li couldn't figure out what Chen Feng was going to do, so he flipped through the residence newspaper, yawned, and glanced at the time, it was almost noon, it was time to return to the palace, he couldn't leave the palace for too long.

"I should go to Eunuch Yu's place." Gu Li said.

Chen Feng waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the paper.

Gu Li made fun of himself, walked to the door, and was suddenly stopped by Chen Feng.

Gu Li turned his head and saw Chen Feng striding towards him with a smile on his face: "Yixin, are you going back now?"

Gu Li let out a sigh, wondering: "Yeah, why, you want to send me off?"

Chen Feng held his hand, and said affectionately: "Eunuch Yu, I will trouble you. It would be best if you can find out how old Mr. Sai is and what he looks like!"

Gu Ligang drooped his pricked ears and said, "In this case, I will have to work hard to please Eunuch Yu."

"Then please him! Here, you don't have to work so hard, lest you make him suspicious."

This is exactly what Gu Li wants.

When his subordinates walked into the cave with a mansion newspaper, Geng Chongming was leading his men to cook porridge.The sky had already darkened, and the light of the fire danced on the stone wall.

"Geng Shuai, this is the residence newspaper from the north."

"Juren, read and listen." Geng Chongming was still staring at the pot intently, and kept stirring it with a twig. Hot steam came out of the pot, and everyone's Adam's apple couldn't help sliding up and down.

Beside Geng Chongming, a tall and thin man twirled his beard, took the mansion newspaper, shook it with style, cleared his throat, and read in a melodious voice: "Shangyu: The officials from all over the country are preparing for spring plowing. The time of day. The people have suffered for a long time, and from now on they will be exempted from taxes for three years. This is my honor.”

"What do you mean by being polite?"

The tall, thin man nicknamed Juren pondered for a moment, then explained: "It means that from this year onwards, the imperial court will not collect taxes. Geng Shuai, is there such a good thing?"

"Damn it! Why wasn't the tax exemption earlier?"

"That's right, before the imperial court frequently sent extra salaries to push us to death, what kind of nerves are we showing now?!"

Geng Chongming also raised his head, took the mansion newspaper from Juren's hand, and quickly flipped through it.The rest of the news in the mansion newspaper had nothing to do with them, so he re-read the first article, word by word.

"Geng Shuai, tell me, is this true? The court really...does not collect taxes?"

"This mansion newspaper was made from the capital, so it can't be fake."

"Then let's... shall we go back and farm the land?"

Geng Chongming closed the residence newspaper and said fiercely: "What are you thinking? We are rebels, rebels, and we will be beheaded if we go back!"

The atmosphere in the cave was silent for a while.

Liren lay down on the ground, sighed slowly, and hummed a country tune: "There is no turning back when you shoot the bow, and you feel sorry for yourself in front of the single-plank bridge. God, why are you so biased..."

In the midst of this ridiculous nonsense, someone couldn't help sobbing: "I want to go home and see my old lady..."

Geng Chongming shouted angrily: "Juren, stop singing! Don't even think about what's going on, let's go on this road, don't think about turning back! Chen Tianshi sent a letter a few days ago, telling us to be careful ,Where there is life, there is hope."

It didn't take long for the team's morale to settle down, but the next day, a new report brought by Youshao stirred up the army's morale again.

"Geng Shuai! Did you see that?! The superior said that the emperor is merciful and willing to pardon our rebels! No matter what mistakes we made in the past, we will never blame them!" Juren shook his mansion newspaper and said excitedly: "Now go home, It’s just in time for spring plowing! Didn’t it say yesterday that the imperial court will be exempt from tax for three years…”

Juren's yelling was so loud that the whole camp could hear them, and the crowd gathered around, passed around the mansion newspaper, and asked eagerly: "Is it true? Juren, you old boy is not satisfied with one bottle, and half of it is dangling around. Is it clear that everyone is exonerated?"

"We all committed capital crimes, this news can't be to deceive us!"

"What do you know? This is the official residence newspaper. If there is false news, where will the royal face be put?"

"Shut up!" Geng Chongming ordered, and everyone fell silent.

Geng Chongming strode forward, snatched the residence newspaper from the scholar, tore it up and threw it on the ground: "In the future, don't mention such words that confuse the morale of the army!"

Juren wanted to speak, but under the pressure of Geng Chongming, he still kept his mouth shut.

Geng Chongming raised the note in his hand: "Chen Tianshi sent a message from the capital again, General Zhang and General Luo are both dead! If the imperial court really wanted to let us live, why did they kill them?"

"Geng Shuai is right!"

"We want to avenge General Zhang and General Luo!"

"But……"

Geng Chongming tore up the note.In addition to the news of Zhang Ci'er and Guo Guangwen's death, Chen Feng also sent a precious message: Tomorrow, Emperor Dog will go to the military camp to condolences and reward the defenders of the capital.This may be the only chance he can seize at present.

Gu Li honestly stayed in the palace today to handle official business, and didn't go anywhere.

Wang Zheng, Cao Cunlin and others were deprived of their positions and demoted to Xiaoling, and there were a few vacancies in the palace. Everything else was fine, but the eunuch, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, had a high position and had to be properly arranged.Gu Li trusted Yu Guangle, but he had just promoted Yu Guangle to be a young supervisor, and if he promoted Yu Guangle to be a eunuch again, he might not be able to convince everyone.And he also wanted Yu Guangle to practice again.

Originally there were several senior eunuchs in the Ceremony Supervisor, but Gu Li couldn't make up his mind, so he asked the young eunuchs of the Ceremony Supervisor to question them one by one, and finally selected a young eunuch with a good reputation named Li Tang, who was promoted to The eunuch and eunuch.

The matter of going to the Beijing camp for inspection was handed over to Li Tang and asked him to arrange together with the Ministry of Rites.

The royal etiquette is cumbersome, Gu Li practiced repeatedly for a day under the persuasion of officials from the Ministry of Rituals, and seeing that it was already evening, Gu Li simply left the officials in the palace for dinner before going back.

The officials of the Ministry of Rituals had heard that the palace had invited Wen Hegui, a well-known culinary master from Wuzhong area, to be the royal cook, and Gu Li was suddenly kept for dinner, so they followed suit and gladly obeyed.

Their steaming joy, even Gu Youzhen could see it, she held her chin and said: "Father, Mother and Concubine taught me two idioms today, and seeing them, I remembered them."

Gu Li asked him: "What idiom?"

"Gearing up, eager to try."

Gu Li laughed and patted Gu Youzhen's head: "Zhen'er is so smart."

At this time, the waiters brought out the food.When the officials saw it, their eyes were filled with eight holes, and their pupils quake.This clear soup lacks water, green vegetables and tofu, is this what His Majesty eats?

Several officials looked at each other, looking at Gu Li and Gu Youzhen who were sitting on top.Gu Youzhen had obediently held the small spoon, scooped up a spoonful of tofu and fed it into her mouth, she seemed to be used to it.

The officials then speculated, maybe this porridge and side dishes have a different taste?Haven't you seen His Highness eating so deliciously?

After all, it is Wen Hegui's handwriting!

Out of confidence in Wen Yuchu, several officials held up their chopsticks to eat, and were shocked by the taste.

This taste... so damn ordinary!
