I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Three generations of General Xue's family were loyal.

What is the concept of three generations of Zhongliang?It means that the continuation of their family is more secure than the throne, and it means that every generation of their family has general-style talents.It also means that the common people are familiar with them, and soldiers and horses are familiar with them.

The good reputation is getting stronger and stronger, and the reputation of loyalty and goodness is all over the champions. It is such a high honor to the outside world, but it is a sickle to the inside.

Xue Yuan's madness is based on the foundation of three generations of Zhongliang.The madness lies in his father's groveling, the madness in his leading troops, and the innumerable bloody lives in his hands.

No matter how much a general from Zhongliang's family of three generations respected the emperor, the emperor would not let his guard down because of this.For three generations, the generals who have existed since the founding of the country are really the hard-working Xue family.Xue Yuankuang, being so maddened by the general's respect and being so groveling by the general has meaning now.

Because you are afraid that I will punish your son, because you are afraid that your son will hurt your whole family.

Three generations of Zhongliang, with a good reputation, can't be killed casually. If you kill him, you will be chilled, and you will have a bad reputation for thousands of years.Xue Yuan, if you are talented, you will be proud. It is better to be crazy than to be deep in the city.

Since ancient times, most of the wise emperors have a tolerant stomach.

Gu Yuanbai naturally knew what the Xue family was thinking, and he had no intention of forcing Zhongliang to die.And it just so happened that Xue Yuan's madness was above that bottom line every time.

Gu Yuanbai originally wanted the protagonist in the book to take over his will to create a Daheng of Haiyan and Heqing.He can also take advantage of Xue Yuan's disrespect towards him in the opposite direction, and give a stick to a sweet date to restrict General Xue and future Xue Yuan, and even let the soldiers of the whole world see how magnanimous the current Holy Majesty is. .

However, Gu Yuanbai really annoyed Xue Yuan.

He took the jade pendant from Xue Yuan, and the men and women opposite him who were doing meddlesome things in broad daylight wanted to run away after seeing him being discovered, Gu Yuanbai: "Catch that kid and send him to the abbot."

The guards listened to the order and jumped over the stream like a gust of wind to go to the opposite side.The man with his head stuck out was startled, and wanted to run away when he got up, but his movements were a step slower, and he was captured alive by the guards who rushed over.

"What are you doing!" The man lost his red bellyband while struggling, "This is Chengbao Temple! I am a lay disciple of Chengbao Temple, why are you still arresting people?"

The guards pursed their lips, frowned, and dragged him away.As for that woman, leaving her a piece of clothing to cover her body could not be more benevolent.

Gu Yuanbai heard this man's cry from across the river, and when someone dragged him over to take a look, he found that this obscene monk still had a clear and bright appearance, and he asked, "Are you a lay disciple of Chengbao Temple? "

The man was pressed down and knelt down, knowing that those who could enter and exit Chengbao Temple were not ordinary people, he obediently stopped struggling, and just said with a bitter face: "The little man has not practiced enough to be ordained, even if he loves men and women I haven't violated the law either. My lord, the villain has been suffering in the temple for more than two months, and now I can't bear it anymore, I can't help it... Everyone is a man, facing the monk with a sad face all day long I really can't stand it."

They are all men, of course Gu Yuanbai knows how he feels.I was not angry at first, but now I am a little jealous.

Look at it, look at it, a lay disciple, half a monk, is more enjoyable than him!

Gu Yuanbai asked unhappily: "Even if you are a lay disciple, you should know that this is Chengbao Temple. If you desecrate the holy place of Buddhism like this, are you still a lay disciple?"

The man straightened his expression, "My lord, if Chengbao Temple is really a sacred place of Buddhism, then the little ones would not dare to do so."

Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "What do you mean?"

The man chuckled and said, "You don't have to think too much about it. What the villain means is that there are a lot of monks in Chengbao Temple, and they eat a lot of vegetarian oil and water. Many monks eat a full stomach. They are all stained with oil. The villain, a lay disciple, is even bolder."

As he said that, the man shook his head and said: "This is called the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

"It seems that Chengbao Temple is already very rich," Gu Yuanbai murmured, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, that's good."

The man looked at him strangely, then sized up the group of guards behind Gu Yuanbai, and finally put his gaze back on Gu Yuanbai. He sized him up carefully, and finally showed a slightly nervous expression.

Gu Yuanbai asked: "Whose family are you a child?"

The man bowed his head cautiously and replied, "My father, Jingxi Zhang."

The Yu family in Jiangnan, the Lu family in Huainan, the Yang family in Henan, and the Zhang family in West Beijing.

These four are all big merchants in the world, big enough to do business with the royal family.Among them, Huainan is close to the Jingnan area, and the Yu family in Jiangnan and the Lu family in Huainan are just one of the tyrants that Gu Yuanbai intends to use the enemy's hands to suppress.

Gu Yuanbai can tolerate merchants, and he even expects more merchants who keep their duty to appear, so as to drive social and economic development.But he can't tolerate collusion between merchants and local officials. What is tyranny?Strong and powerful people are powerful. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the powerful gentry have weakened after the imperial examination system. However, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, land was merged and the population was attached. The gentry tyrants even planned everything that is beneficial to them. Within, and then be able to hereditary into a family.

They do business as long as they do business, but they just want to have power and collude with officials. After the collusion between officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen have become powerful.

The Yang family in Henan is small and subtle, and the Zhang family in the west of Beijing is not far from the imperial city, and they behave well under the eyes of the emperor. Such merchants are Gu Yuanbai's favorite merchants.

It's just that I didn't expect such a coincidence that I would meet someone from the Zhang family here.

"Then how did you come to Chengbao Temple to become a lay disciple?" Gu Yuanbai asked.

At this time the sun was in the sky, Xue Yuan looked at Gu Yuan's white face blushing, and said very considerately: "Why don't you find a gazebo to talk slowly?"

As soon as he spoke, the man kneeling on the ground looked at him, his expression was stunned, and he broke away and said, "Master Xue?!"

Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile.

The kneeling man figured it out in an instant, his breathing suddenly became heavy, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Gu Yuanbai anxiously and excitedly, swallowed hard, opened his mouth, and dared not say anything. explain.

His upper body was still naked, and there were scratches and red marks drawn by branches and leaves on his body. When looking at the little emperor with this expression, it was hard not to cause some misunderstandings.

The chief guard yelled: "Presumptuous!"

The man trembled violently, quickly made a big salute, and knocked deeply on the ground, "Cao Min Zhang Hao pays homage to His Majesty!"

Before Gu Yuanbai could speak, Xue Yuan on the side sneered and said, "To pay homage to the Holy Majesty without wearing clothes?"

Zhang Hao blushed, unable to speak.

Just at this time, the guard who went to explore the road ahead came back, "My lord, there is a pavilion ahead. I also saw the person sent by Concubine Wan. He told Concubine Wan that she was tired and had gone back to the village ahead of time. .”

Gu Yuanbai nodded, followed the guards to the gazebo, Xue Yuan followed at the end, with his hands on Zhang Hao's neck, Zhang Hao was trembling, looking very afraid of him.

Xue Yuan said: "Do you like women?"

Zhang Hao said cautiously: "Master Xue, villains only like women."

So don't take my shoulders, I'm afraid.

Xue Yuan smiled slightly, "Have you slept with many women?"

Zhang Hao also laughed, a man who knows how to smile with a little complacency, "The villain was driven by my father to practice in Chengbao Temple because he was too lustful."

"Oh," Xue Yuan suddenly realized, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Hao closer, and asked in a low voice, "Look at the color of the little emperor's lips, don't they look like he has never eaten a woman's rouge?"

Cold sweat broke out on the top of Zhang Hao's head instantly, "The villain doesn't know, the villain didn't see it."

Xue Yuan let go of him with a smile, and without saying anything, stepped forward and chased after the little emperor.

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, stroking his frightened heart beating slowly.

He didn't dare to say that he was holy, but it was easy to tell from Mr. Xue's face. With thick eyebrows and high nose, he was tall and big, so he must be very energetic!The point is that he has never heard that Mr. Xue has any confidante, boudoir beauty.I have been obsessed with training and fighting, and I don't have a woman with such a vigorous appearance. How terrible would it be if I had a woman?

The gazebo was fairly clean, and the attendants spread blankets on the seats. After Gu Yuanbai sat down, he dipped some cold water on a towel to wipe off the slight sweat on the face of the Holy Majesty.

After getting some coolness, Gu Yuanbai felt much more comfortable.He was about to ask Zhang another good word when he glanced at Xue Yuan from the corner of his eye.

Xue Yuan's clothes were dragged so that they were torn apart a few times. Although he had cleaned up the mud and sand on them, one could guess how many injuries he would suffer from the clothes.

Feeling happy all of a sudden, Gu Yuanbai lifted the corners of his lips, and the breeze blowing Buddha, he instantly felt the exhilaration of traveling in the mountains, and he also brought a smile when talking to Zhang Hao: "Where is your father's business route now? "

Zhang Hao was startled when he heard the words, thousands of thoughts came to his mind.The Holy Majesty's expression was normal, and even asking such a question, Zhang Hao felt excited, and a bold idea came to his mind faintly.

He honestly and in detail described all the business routes of his father one by one, from Henan in the north, to Jiangnan in the east, Lizhou in the east, and Shandong in the west.

Gu Yuanbai listened carefully, sometimes pondered for a while, and then asked a few questions from a tricky angle.

After some conversation, Zhang Hao's face was covered with sweat, a guard went back to the creek and brought back his clothes, he put them on in a hurry, and then wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeves.

Frightened, the emperor's thinking was clear and clear, and he hit Zhang Hao's frightened point several times. If Zhang didn't really have that kind of thinking, he might be tricked by the emperor anyway.

Several generations of the Zhang family in the west of Beijing have been talents in business, but scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are also exploited when they become big. One layer, the other is also peeled off, but they all think that their Jingxi Zhang family is so rich that they can't tell the Jingxi Zhang family's suffering.

For example, the Yu family in Jiangnan and the Lu family in Huainan have a backer behind them, and filial piety only needs to be filial to one person.Mrs. Zhang had had enough of these hardships, and they also wanted to find a backer, but after looking around, they got the news that the Holy Majesty wanted to build a business road.

In the winter, the Holy Majesty also released the news that the border market would be opened, but that time it was still nothing. This time, after receiving the news from the Holy Majesty, Zhang Hao's father returned to the capital from other provinces.

Zhang Hao had vaguely heard about the family's plan, and seemed to want to use the hand of a certain official to send a gift to the Holy One to show his sincerity.But he didn't expect that in the end, he was the one who saw the Holy Master in Chengbao Temple.

After Gu Yuanbai finished asking the things he wanted to ask one by one, he had a general idea in his mind. He kept his face calm, nodded and let Zhang Hao back down.

The palace servant asked softly, "Does Your Majesty want some refreshments?"

Naturally, the Holy Majesty is extremely particular about traveling.Gu Yuanbai nodded, and the palace attendant took out an exquisite small wooden box, took out soft and delicate pastries, and boiled tea with warm water.

Regardless of other things, the little blanket that Gu Yuanbai sat on was a palace noble blanket. The hair was made from the most fluffy hair of lambs and supplemented with soft silk, and then dyed with the juice squeezed out of plants. Go back and forth several times to make the color evenly dyed on each hair, and finally after it becomes a finished product, the long fragrance of flowers and plants will be permanently left on the blanket.

The blankets that are laid on the ground in the palace are also made in this way. The luxury of the royal family is always in the low-key details. This is the face of the emperor and the ultimate enjoyment that people all over the world pursue.

Just such a small blanket, if the Silk Road is rebuilt, it will definitely be sold at a price that satisfies Gu Yuanbai.

The national treasury stores the national fiscal revenue, and Gu Yuanbai has also stored a lot of such luxurious and fine things, just waiting to get real money out of it in the future.

Gu Yuanbai was eating tea in the palace, thinking about how to use the Zhang family in the west of Beijing to form a fixed trade route with the border nomads, when his thoughts were wandering, he heard the chief guard helplessly say: "My lord——"

Only then did Gu Yuanbai remember what the imperial doctor told him to be too much to think about, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore."

It's rare to relax and play, so I don't think about these things.

"You guys also take a short break," Gu Yuanbai said, "after we've rested, we'll go down the mountain. Although the vegetarian food at Chengbao Temple is delicious, it lacks some meat."

The guards found their own places and sat down. The breeze in the mountains was blowing, and Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and leaned on the back to rest.After a while, he suddenly heard birds chirping nearby. He opened his eyes and saw that a few birds had flown to the stone table in the pavilion, pecking at the unused refreshments with their heads down.

Gu Yuanbai reached out and picked up a piece of snack, broke it into pieces, and put it in the palm of his hand to feed the birds, but he overestimated himself. After the birds bowed their heads and pecked a few times, Gu Yuanbai felt that his palms should be red with pain. up.

He put down the broken food in his hand, looked around, and called, "Xue Yuan."

Xue Yuan, who was standing against the pillar, raised his head and glanced at him, then walked over, "Your Majesty?"

Gu Yuanbai signaled him to stretch out his hand, Xue Yuan glanced at the flock of birds on the table, and suddenly smiled.

He obediently stretched out his hand, and obediently asked the Holy One to put the broken food in his hand. When the birds were vigilant and wanted to move forward, he obediently remained motionless.

In the end, his human-shaped bird feeder was trusted, and the birds jumped on him, burying their heads in his palm and pecking at the food.

Xue Yuan's palms were all wounds from being dragged and rubbed before, but the pecks of these birds did not make Xue Yuan feel any pain, but a little itchy.

"Your Majesty," Xue Yuan had something to say, "Isn't my minister obedient enough?"

Gu Yuanbai said: "If you are obedient, you won't hurt my horse."

"The minister was also sent back by the Holy Majesty."

"You dare to gallop with me."

Xue Yuan smiled, and he clenched his hands tightly, the birds flew in groups, and he held a bird that was too late to fly away.With his other hand, he touched the constantly singing bird, and a bird's head emerged from the palm, "The feathers of the bird are soft, might you try to touch it, Your Majesty?"

Gu Yuanbai lazily raised his hand, and stroked the bird's head a few times, "It's still good."

The bird's feathers are gray, and they look more delicate when touched by jade-like fingertips. Xue Yuan looked down, and the gloomy evil spirit in his heart suddenly found a way out.

The little emperor doesn't seem to like being touched?
