I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

People with spare money gathered in the teahouse to order pots of cheap tea and listened to the storyteller with relish, while the men outside without spare money stood up and rubbed their ears.Everyone obviously can't do anything for the anti-corruption, but they are all paying close attention to the anti-corruption issue.

Xue Yuan never thought that Gu Yuanbai would allow the common people to know the progress of anti-corruption, and even record the stolen money in the book and sell it.

"Daheng Guobao" was run by Gu Yuanbai, who handed over the letters sent by Yushitai and the Supervision Office to Mrs. Zhang every day, and Mrs. Zhang sorted them out and rubbed them.

Everyone in the capital is excited by the excitement of the people everywhere, and angry at the actions of those corrupt officials.

Unlike the walking corpses who plowed, ate, and slept in the past, after knowing exactly what this country is doing and the situation of the people in various places, these people who are busy with their lives seem to suddenly come alive.

Many old peasants, simple and honest men, blushing and rubbing their hands, gathered at the gate of the yamen where the "Daheng Guobao" was read in the city, and listened to what the police were reading with their ears pricked up.

They are illiterate, uneducated, ignorant and unenlightened.Sometimes I can't even understand the content of the newspaper, let alone talk about the corruption situation in various places.

But it was also requested by Gu Yuanbai. He asked Mrs. Zhang to send the "Daheng Guobao" to various yamen every day, and asked the governor of the capital to arrange for someone to read it to the people at a specific time every day, using the content of the vernacular. , If you can be as down-to-earth as possible, read it to the people as much as possible.

The governor of the capital and the small officials didn't think it was useful, and the people who were sometimes angry and sometimes happy with the content of the newspaper didn't know what use they knew.

But Gu Yuanbai insisted, and thought that it would be very effective.

As an emperor, he has the responsibility to educate the people.

Everything needs to be subtle, but if you don't even do the beginning, you will never wait for changes.

Looking at this scene, Xue Yuan felt something that he had never felt before. This kind of thing seemed to be called peace.

He had never felt something at the border, and it was all brought by Gu Yuanbai.

Xue Yuan's loyal heart began to pound again.He couldn't help but look down at Gu Yuanbai, and saw that Gu Yuanbai was about to drink the cold tea with a smile.Xue Yuan's eyelids twitched, he took a cup and put it under Gu Yuanbai's lips, and said, "Spit it out."

Gu Yuanbai looked at him strangely with a mouthful of water stuck in his throat.Xue Yuan couldn't stand his gaze, and his whole body went numb when he was watched. His voice suddenly softened to a hoarse voice: "My lord, the water is cold, spit it out."

Gu Yuanbai spit out the water, and stated the facts: "I also eat iced tea in summer."

Iced tea is tea brewed with ice, Xue Yuan doubted: "Can you eat it?"

Gu Yuanbai put down the teacup, and Tian Fusheng brought up a new pot of tea.Hearing this, Tian Fusheng smiled and said, "It's okay for the Holy One to take it once by chance, but I don't dare to let the Holy Majesty take it more every time, for fear of getting cold."

Xue Yuan glanced at Gu Yuanbai one after another, looked at his fleshless face and soft hands, and nodded in disapproval.

Gu Yuanbai smiled helplessly. Xue Yuan had been by his side for a long time, and the rough-hewn army ruffian was assimilated by the people around him, who treated Gu Yuanbai like some kind of fragile porcelain. something bad.

It's just that he was born bold, and others dared not come forward to persuade him, but he dared to do it directly.

The storyteller below has already changed an article, talking about the anti-corruption process in another place, the same people consciously blocked the city gates, the whole city blocked the local officials' gates, and the men rolled up their bedding at the government gates at night Before going to bed, he waited for his mother-in-law to deliver meals in front of the official gate during the day, and waited until the supervisory officials arrived.

Thanks to the help of these people and some officials, the arrest of corrupt officials became much smoother.

Gu Yuanbai was filled with emotion, "Now that a group of corrupt officials have been brought down, a group of good officials with outstanding character just happened to emerge."

Xue Yuan said naturally: "The minister also deserves credit."

Gu Yuanbai glanced at him sideways and smiled, "What credit do you have?"

Xue Yuan took it for granted, the bandit logic: "The minister protects the Holy One, protects the Holy One, as long as the Holy One is healthy, the anti-corruption will go smoothly."

Gu Yuanbai was overjoyed, "The guard Xue will also say some opportunistic things now."

Xue Yuan thought, stop laughing.

I laughed so hard that my heart beat faster and faster.

With a beating heart in his chest, Xue Yuan sighed, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Yuanbai's face with duplicity, and finally he also hooked his lips and laughed.

After drinking a full stomach of tea in the teahouse, Gu Yuanbai brought people to Zhang's Bookstore.It takes a lot of preparations to build a business road. Now that Zhang’s plan to build a business road for the emperor has been dispersed, letters from merchants from all over the place have piled up into a hill. It is necessary to restrain the disciples of each clan, so that nothing can go wrong.

Therefore, it took more than a month to prepare for the matter of going to the border to build a trade route.

The patriarch of the Zhang clan anxiously reported the current progress to Gu Yuanbai, but Gu Yuanbai said: "I've already thought about this. It's okay if you can't move now. Before the establishment of the trade route, I have one more thing to do." to do."

His Majesty's eyes were heavy, and he said slowly: "I will send troops to fight against those nomads."

Xue Yuan's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he looked at him suddenly, his eyes lit up with thousands of expressions in an instant.

Nomads must be fought before the trade roads are built.

Must hit!

What Xue Yuan said about the plight of soldiers and common people at the border was a thorn in Gu Yuanbai's heart. At that time, he had already passed through to Daheng and became the emperor.But the government was controlled by Lu Feng, and the whole court was in a mess. This was the darkest time Gu Yuanbai had ever experienced.

It took him three years to pull Lu Feng down, and it has only been half a year since he took office. He worked desperately to raise soldiers and train the Supervision Office, just because Gu Yuanbai didn't want to experience such a dark moment again.

He knew how many people in Daheng were suffering from disasters, and how many people lost their lives when he, the emperor, was dormant. The roots of the Daheng dynasty were already rotten, and Gu Yuanbai was an adult. What disasters it caused, but when he first came he couldn't do anything.

But now, with strong soldiers and strong horses, the road leading to the border is ready to be built. Once the road is complete and the transportation is convenient, he can take charge of the nomadic area.

Before the roads are built, cattle, horses and sheep who want to graze must let them know that they must abide by the rules of Daheng.

After Gu Yuanbai said "fighting nomads", Xue Yuan's eyes were burning all the time, he was clenching the big knife at his waist, and the surrounding guards could feel the emotions floating around him.

These guards still remembered the "two-legged sheep" he said during the spring hunting earlier, and one of them couldn't help asking: "Xue Yuan, is Nomad easy to fight?"

Xue Yuan said sonorously and forcefully: "It's difficult."

Guards: "..."

Their expressions twisted slightly, looking at Xue Yuan whose blood seemed to be boiling all over, wondering if it was difficult, how could he be in such a state of ready to move?

Gu Yuanbai also heard this difficult word, so he asked Xue Yuan to step forward and stare at him: "How do you say it?"

The members of the Zhang family self-consciously said: "Your Majesty, the disciples of the small ethnic groups have gathered in the capital, do you still want to see them?"

Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, "I heard that the disciples of the Zhang family in the west of Beijing are all outstanding people. I finally came out once, so naturally I want to meet them."

Zhang's people retreated, the palace servant closed the door, the light was dim, and the dust could be seen floating in the light.

Gu Yuanbai took the lead and said, "Sit."

Everyone who was supposed to sit in the room listened to the order and sat down. Xue Yuan sat in a majestic posture, very unrestrained. Gu Yuanbai asked someone to bring tea for them, moistened his mouth and said: "Xue Yuan, playing nomads is very difficult. Disaster?"

As long as Xue Yuan was talking, he looked at the little emperor's lips inexplicably, and turned around and said: "The nomads are brave, riding and shooting is a must. Daheng has been harassed all the time, and they have not been beaten back, so they are even more arrogant gone."

"I know about this," Gu Yuanbai nodded slightly, "but it's so hard to fight, but you still robbed many good horses from them."

The corner of Xue Yuan's mouth curled up, hiding a bit of sneer, "Your Majesty, although the nomads are brave, Daheng's continuous concessions have boosted their confidence in themselves. They always think that they are invincible, and once Daheng puts on a tough fight attitude, once they lose, it will be a complete defeat."

"As long as there is a tendency to be defeated, they will run away in a panic and become a group of useless people. The nomads are divided into eight tribes, and they will not easily gather together. Now the big leader of the Khitan clan is old, and the leaders of the eight tribes are secretly surging , they are scattered and don't know how to make alliances. If you want to fight, it's much easier."

Gu Yuanbai nodded thoughtfully.

The national conditions of Daheng Dynasty are a bit chaotic.

When Gu Yuanbai first came here, he was completely confused by the messy national conditions. He frantically turned on the lamp to read at night to sort out his thoughts on the national conditions. The impact shattered.

The Daheng Dynasty has its own history, mixing the neighboring countries of each dynasty.Simply put, the historical changes in the early period were not great, and Gu Yuanbai also integrated into this dynasty after going through the time of reading at night with the lamp on.

Like Khitan Babu, he adapted very well.

Xue Yuan continued: "When General Xue and I were stationed at the border, the frontier commanders sent by the imperial court were all literati who had never led troops before."

Gu Yuanbai was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Xue Yuan, this should have happened before he transmigrated.

"Those literati don't know much about military affairs. After reading a few military books, they think it's easy to be a commander. They look down on warriors and don't listen to their advice. They are arrogant and lofty, and their hearts are higher than the sky." It's even faster."

Hearing this, Gu Yuanbai couldn't help thinking, who came up with the genius idea of ​​letting literati lead troops?

It’s nothing more than real materials, such a person who is familiar with military books but lacks experience can’t help but remind him of Ma Di, Zhuge Liang’s promising successor. Ma Di is a person who talks about military affairs well, but after all, he still has too little experience , I caused myself to come to the ending of beheading Ma Di with tears.On the other hand, Wang Ping, who only knew the cross all his life, was a talented leader of troops even though he could not read or write.

Needless to say, it must be Lu Feng's suppression of Xue Yuan's family.The three generations of the Xue family were loyal, and as a treacherous minister, Lu Feng was afraid of this kind of loyalty.

Gu Yuanbai thought for a while, and said casually: "Then the guard Xue will lead the army. Presumably it will not be difficult for you to suppress the nomads?"

When Xue Yuan heard this, he couldn't help saying: "I will not disappoint the Holy One."

Gu Yuanbai nodded, just in front of the door someone came to announce the arrival of members of the Zhang clan, Gu Yuanbai called them in for a look.

Some of the surrounding guards bumped into Xue Yuan: "Master Xue, do you know that you are so happy to go to the border to fight nomads?"

Xue Yuan didn't know why, "What?"

The guard said strangely: "Even if you are happy, you don't have to laugh so penetratingly."

Xue Yuan was taken aback, raised his head and touched the corner of his mouth, but unexpectedly, the corner of his mouth was raised.

Are you really happy because you can attack nomads?

That was too euphoric.

Xue Yuan frowned, trying to suppress the corners of his mouth that were constantly upturned, but as long as he thought of what Gu Yuanbai had just said to him affirming his ability, he couldn't help but want to grin.

He unconsciously glanced at Gu Yuanbai.

Gu Yuanbai seemed to be aware of it, and also glanced at him. When he saw Xue Yuan's distorted expression of wanting to laugh and suppressing a smile, he couldn't hold it back, and was directly amused.

This time he was happy, and his light-colored lips curled up, as if they had also turned pink.

pink.

Xue Yuan couldn't bear it at all, and couldn't hold back the corners of his lips any longer.

Damn it, how could Gu Yuanbai...how could he smile so nicely at him.

What do you mean?
