The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shen Yu slapped him with an elbow: "Your Majesty, let's think about something practical. No matter how hard you try, this kind of thing will never come true."

Shang Junlin held back his hand and held his wrist tightly: "I know."

Shen Yu struggled, but did not break free from the man's shackles. Fortunately, he let him go: "How is the situation in Beimo now?"

"Bei Mo has always been reluctant to pay compensation. After hearing that Fang Jiayi was the one who negotiated, several ministers complained of illness one after another. The emperor of Bei Mo lost his temper in the court, so he chose a few people to come out."

"The chosen person doesn't have a very ugly face?"

"Naturally, after the matter was settled, the next day they scolded those few officials who said they were not ill. Even the Emperor Beimo was not spared."

Shen Yu can understand the thoughts of these people. Fang Jiayi is too powerful to fight, and this kind of thing is not a good job at first glance. .

It is not uncommon for officials to put their own interests aside, but they are rare. Obviously, those officials in Beimo do not belong to this category.

In order to negotiate the number of places, Beimo officials fought fiercely, but unlike others, what they fought for was not the number of people who could go, but the number of people who would not go.

When the news reached Subei, He Chengyu, Jiang Huaiqing, Fang Jiayi and others gathered together, and some couldn't help laughing.

"Bei Mo really thinks Dahuan is easy to bully, let's see if we don't peel them off this time."

They are all new officials sent to Subei. Most of them are still young and have ambitions in their hearts. In Subei, they have endless opportunities to flex their muscles. They are happy to do things that can make the people of Beimo unhappy. .

"Master Fang really does not give way to women. To be honest, I have some opinions on Mr. Fang at the beginning, and I don't understand why His Majesty made an exception to allow women to enter the court as officials. Now I know how narrow-minded I was in the past. Today This glass, I respect Mr. Fang." After speaking, the man raised his glass and drank it down.

"Actually, I am also..." One after another, many people apologized for their prejudices.

"What I did was shocking. It's normal for you to not understand at first." Fang Jiayi smiled and drank the wine in her glass. "It is my honor to work with you."

"Master Fang, please don't say that, no matter what, it should be our honor."

The atmosphere during the banquet became more and more enthusiastic, and Jiang Huaiqing also clinked wine glasses with He Chengyu.

The negotiation time was set before the Chinese New Year. The Dahuan court meant that it would be best to finish the negotiation before the Chinese New Year, so that the people of Linyuan could have a good year.

There are many people living in Linyuan. They are pure Beimo people. There have been several rounds of quarrels in the court over whether to accept these people. Some people think that if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. These people should become slaves, while others think that since they belong to Dahuan, they are the people of Dahuan, so they should not be too harsh.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions and quarreled fiercely.

But this matter will not affect Lin Yuan from Beimo people.

Everything was ready, Fang Jiayi changed into her official robe, and led the accompanying officials to the place of negotiation with Bei Mo.

As expected, the negotiation went smoothly.

The Beimo people wanted to make some moves, but the Subei army was watching, and they would attack if there was any change. In the negotiation field, Fang Jiayi was like a fish in water, killing the opponent to the point of defeat.

At the end of the negotiation, the Dahuan officials were in high spirits, and Fang Jiayi's face showed that she was still unsatisfied. On the other hand, the Beimo officials all looked ashen and sluggish.

On the spot, Fang Jiayi asked the other party to sign the agreement document. From this day on, the grassland of Linyuan belonged to Dahuan!

Jiang Huaiqing went to Linyuan with the Subei Army. Before the official appointment of officials by the imperial court, the land was temporarily managed by Subei officials.

The Beimo people who originally lived in Linyuan moved out a lot, leaving ordinary herdsmen and abandoned slaves.

Some of these slaves came from Dahuan. After Jiang Huaiqing brought people there, the first thing he did was to find out the Dahuan people inside.

Those who do not want to leave can continue to work in Linyuan.

Shang Junlin did not hide his intentions. Soon, Lin Yuan will become Da Huan's exclusive horse farm. After Jiang Huaiqing and others pass by, they need to deal with Lin Yuan's possible hidden dangers in advance.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your wish has come true." Shen Yu put down the booklet handed over from Subei, and put his backhand on the table.

"There are still many problems to be dealt with in the follow-up. Jiang Huaiqing is careful, and many problems of Lin Yuan have been considered." Shang Junlin said while criticizing the paper.

"What does His Majesty plan to do to those Beimo people who stay in Linyuan?" Shen Yu asked.

"Observe for a while, if they don't mind, I don't mind if they live in Linyuan."

"Lin Yuan and Subei are very close," Shen Yu lowered his eyes and pondered, "Is there any precedent for intermarriage between the two parties?"

"Yes, yes, how did Ah Yu mention this?"

"My lords are constantly arguing about the fate of these people, worrying about all kinds of problems that may arise, isn't it because these people are from Beimo? If one day, they admit from the bottom of their hearts that they are Dahuan people?"

To tame the people, it is not enough to just kill them. It is necessary to break the barriers in their hearts and tie them to the big ship of Dahuan. All will be prosperous and all will be harmed. Only when the interests are fully agreed can certain situations be truly prevented from happening. .

Shen Yu expressed his thoughts a little bit: "Your Majesty can encourage them to intermarry with Dahuan, let them get used to using Dahuan's dialect every day, and send Dahuan's wife to enlighten their children. When this group of people grow old, they accept When the juniors taught by Dahuan grow up, will they still admit that they used to be from Beimo?"

Shang Junlin thought along the gloomy words: "After a few generations, they will completely abandon their identity as Beimo people and truly integrate into Dahuan."

"That's right, it's just that this method takes a lot of time."

But milder than any other.

The court's quarrel for many days has been resolved, and the time is getting closer and closer to the New Year's Eve. There is still no movement from the King of Yue. In the Subei Army, the generals who have returned to Beijing to report on their duties are ready to leave.

There was Gu Huai inside.

They should have left earlier, but they were delayed for a while in order to deal with Bei Mo's affairs. It was already very late when they left, and the time was a little rushed.

The one who came back with Gu Huai was also the general who had become friends with him, and now he became his adjutant.

"I'm so old, my subordinates haven't been to the capital yet. General, is the capital really as prosperous as the rumors say?" The adjutant couldn't help but speak while he was on his way.

"It's very prosperous, you'll know when you see it." The closer he was to the capital, the more difficult it was for Gu Huai to calm down.

After the war with Beimo ended, he wrote a long letter to Doctor Gu, in which he explained part of the reasons why he joined the army and what happened in Subei.

When he left at the beginning, he had the intention of leaving without saying goodbye. Even though he wrote a letter back later, Gu Huai was still worried that Imperial Physician Gu would be angry.

The capital is very lively. In order to welcome the coming New Year, shops and stalls are filled with items for the New Year.

The streets and alleys are full of people coming and going, and they are very lively.

After the results of the negotiation with Bei Mo came back, the people in the capital talked about the same topic again.

"Have you read the Minbao published this time? People in Beimo really think that we are easy to bully, and they still want to delay, saying that they can't get all the supplies. I think they want to renege on their debts."

"Maybe it feels like it's been delayed for a long time, and we can forget about it."

It's a pity that no matter how nice it sounds, we won't be fooled. It should be something we got, so why should we give it up? "

"That's right, Mr. Fang from Subei is really powerful. After coming down so many times, don't those people in Beimo tremble when they hear her name?"

"Hahahahaha, they also have today! Master Fang's actions are really satisfying!"

"It doesn't take much kindness to treat the enemy."

"I have a gossip here, do you know that our Majesty from Beimo wrote a letter to ask His Majesty to transfer Lord Fang back to the capital and not stay in Subei, they can't bear it hahahahahaha."

"real or fake?"

"My cousin works in Mr. Duan's residence, so could the news from there be false?"

Imperial Physician Gu was walking on the street, listening to all kinds of discussions. Speaking of Beimo, there were many people who talked about the battles that Gu Huai participated in. The Gu Huai that these people talked about was the same as the one who had been with him for several years. The younger brother doesn't look like a person, he always has a sense of unreality.

Imperial Physician Gu stopped in front of a small stall, and the stall was full of lanterns of different styles. He used to be busy, and it was Gu Huai who bought these. This year, Gu Huai was not here, and the house was always deserted.

"Do you want a pair objectively? Don't look at my small stall, but the lanterns are selling first-class ones."

Imperial Physician Gu stopped for a moment, and under the enthusiasm of the vendor owner, bought a pair to take home.

Every household began to prepare for the coming New Year, and the palace began to be decorated.

There is no need for Shang Junlin and Shen Yu to order, Eunuch Meng has already arranged for someone to decorate the palace well.

In Yuzhang Palace, leaning heavily on the soft couch, watching the palace people rushing in and out.

"Young Master, let's see if there is anything else that needs to be changed." Mu Xi brought in a hot drink and put it in Shen Yu's hand.

The sweetness floated along with the heat, and he glanced at the cup gloomily: "What is this?"

"It's a milk soup newly developed in the small kitchen. It's made with fresh fruits and milk. You should try it if you like it."

Shen Yu is used to the new products that come from the small kitchen from time to time, so he picked it up and took a sip. The flavors of milk and fresh fruit are perfectly blended together. The taste is sweet but not greasy, which is Shen Yu's favorite taste.

After finishing the milk soup in the small bowl, he stood up gloomily and looked around: "Your layout is pretty good, there is nothing to change."

While speaking, Shang Junlin, who had finished his morning court, walked in.

"An incident happened in the court today. About Zhenbei Hou, do you want to hear it?" Shang Junlin untied his cloak and threw it into Eunuch Meng's arms.

"What's wrong with Zhenbeihou?" In this life, Shen Yu didn't pay much attention to Zhenbeihou's family. At the beginning, he let people outside stare at Zhenbeihou's mansion and report to him from time to time. Without Mu Xi, if nothing important happens, he doesn't bother to care about it.

"Today, the Marquis of Zhenbei invites his son to be established in the court." Shang Junlin's voice was low.

"Heir? Apart from Shen Qingran and me, Zhenbei Hou has other children?"
