Iron Armored Emperor

When Yan Fagu returned to the capital, Lu Yi's body was still at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the common people went to throw a rotten vegetable gang to express their contempt for the rebels.

After conquering Shuzhou, with Di Qiye, the whole process of hegemony progressed by leaps and bounds. The surrendered generals of Shuzhou basically didn't gain much military merit, only Lu Yi, who had voted for Chu early in the morning, ranked first.

Now that Lu Yi is gone, the Lu family has been dispatched and exiled, and the remaining Shuzhou tycoons have all been wiped out.

The situation couldn't be clearer. The rest of Shu Prefecture's generals are low-key. Several people want to save their lives and resign. Some Gu Lie agrees, and some Gu Lie refuses.

As for Xinzhou's surrendered generals, first the Ao family lost Ao Ge, and then there was a case of Du Ke, which also dimmed.There is only one Ao Yisong who is still in a high position, but Ao Yisong is not a member of the Ao family, he is the influence of Ding Guohou.

Chu Gu's retainers had Jiang Yang to support the situation, and they were all loyal to Chu, so they didn't get involved in the maelstrom, but Zhu Beihe was also upset.

Those with sharper minds looked at it coldly and understood the tone of His Majesty's regulations. They tightened their skin one by one, lowered their heads to do things, and did not make mistakes or show off.

Yan Fagu stumbled into the palace to report on his work, and explained clearly how to check and fight.

Lu Yi was originally a descendant of Shuzhou, and he was very familiar with the power of Shuzhou and the terrain of Shuzhou. He had already hidden several teams of soldiers and horses in three deep mountains in the land of Shuchuan. This rebellion is obvious. There is no doubt.

After the war, big pits were dug in these three deep mountains. The pits were too deep to be buried. When they were full, they had to pick up loess and cover the corpses. A loess slope rose overnight in the green hills.

In addition, Lu Yi and the former prefect of Shu prefecture expropriated the grain and silver, which had been handed over to Zhong Dun, the current prefect of Shu prefecture.

"You did a good job." Seeing his listless appearance, Gu Lie didn't bother to talk to him, and only asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Thinking that the report was detailed enough, Yan Fagu thought about it carefully, and thought of the nonsense that Lu Yi said when he was arrested, such as "Gu Lie designed me" and "Di Qiye will not die well"... said it to make His Majesty angry, It is better not to say.

"It's gone." Yan Fagu said honestly.

Gu Lie hurried away: "Then report to the Ministry of Industry, and remember to go to court tomorrow."

Yan Fagu dared not speak up for oppressing the courtiers who had just made meritorious service in this way, and went out listlessly.

A few days later, Zhong Dun, the magistrate of Shu Prefecture, quietly entered Beijing.

"Your Majesty," Zhong Dun kowtowed solemnly, not as flattering as he was when he went to the funeral for his adoptive father. If Lu Yi was still alive, he would never recognize him as Zhong Dun.

"Your Majesty, I'm glad you didn't disgrace your life. However, my adoptive father and the supervisor of Shuzhou passed away unexpectedly, and I also committed negligence. Please forgive me."

Zhong Dun was also very helpless.

You said that he raised his head and worked hard in front of Lu Yi to pretend to be an idiot. He not only pretended not to notice the shortcomings of his predecessor, but also envied the power of Marquis Ding in front of Lu Yi from time to time. He played it out for half a year.

As a result, he almost fell short because of the life issue of his adoptive father.

It's not that Zhong Dun was mean, he said something bad, sixty old man, how can he die, it's just such a ridiculous and generous way of death, and it also involves the common people's favorite love story after dinner, if His Majesty is unhappy, His hard work for half a year is about to be discounted in half.

Poor him, he almost lost his life in Furong City just to be a bait.

What a bad luck.

Although Gu Lie still had a calm expression on his face, his tone was gentle: "Since your death was accidental, why should you be guilty? You have contributed a lot to solving the Shuzhou problem in time."

"Now that the villains in Shuzhou have been wiped out, the next step is Shuzhou's plan to push the farmers and the people. You don't have to do it. If you can reproduce the prosperity of Shuzhou, I will be rewarded."

Zhong Dun was agitated by His Majesty's words, and he swore to agree, and left the palace full of enthusiasm.

Gu Lie pondered over the situation in the court, and lightly closed the case.

From the day of Ao Ge's death, Lu Yi has been Da Chu's enemy. Lu Yi was kept, partly for the sake of his military exploits, and partly to use him to catch more black sheep.

If you want to grow a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, you have to prune crooked branches.

Even if there are green leaves growing on crooked branches, they still have to be cut.

Lu Yi's rebellion was put down, and the adoptive father's funeral was over. At this time, the people finally reacted, and rumors began to spread that His Majesty was a little ruthless towards the heroes. However, how many heroes have been lost in the court for two years?This is where all the birds are hiding.

Naturally, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not talk nonsense to cause trouble.

But sometimes when they looked at the man in white standing at the head of the general, they would inevitably think, how could the Marquis Ding not be defeated?

Before I knew it, it was autumn, and most of the places had good harvests. As a result, the court was happy for two months. In the late autumn, there was a big flood in the border of Zhongzhou and Qingzhou.

Gu Lie was prepared, but he still couldn't help being anxious. He watched the flood situation day and night, and he was tired and thin.

Di Qiye was just accompanying and offering some useful advice, he didn't overly persuade Gu Lie to rest, he knew that persuasion was useless.When the river channel returned to calm and disaster relief arrangements were made in a hurry, he dragged Gu Lie to a good sleep.

After late autumn, the weather was getting colder and colder, but Di Qiye was hugged tightly by Gu Lie, not only was he not cold, he was also too hot.

Gu Lie was really exhausted. This morning was the first time since Gu Lie came to the throne. In the early morning, when it was usually the time when he was discussing matters in the political affairs hall, he still hadn't woken up. He was holding Di Qiye in his arms. Wanting to break free, he subconsciously hugged him even tighter, Di Qiye could only look at the carvings on the top of the bed, dumbfounded.

"Finally awake?"

When Gu Lie woke up, he was dazzled by the sunlight, and was worried if he missed the morning, when he heard Di Qiye jokingly ask.

"Tired," Gu Lie quickly remembered yesterday that he had announced today's dismissal, heaved a sigh of relief, lightly bit the back of the neck of the man in his arms, and confessed frankly.

Di Qiye turned around in his arms, first rolled his eyes at his habitual biting behavior, then stretched out his hand to press his forehead, but mocked, "So you know you're tired, too?"

Gu Lie smiled but did not answer, knowing that the more he talked at this time, the more angry Di Qiye was. Besides, Di Qiye was not angry because he was worried about his health, Gu Lie was also happy to be ridiculed.

The eyes of the two met for a long while, as if they were confronting each other silently. Di Qiye noticed the change in the quilt and gave a funny look.

As a result, the Great Chu Bingshen not only lost the fight with eyes, but also lost the fight with lips and teeth.

How can this be tolerated.

You have to fight for breath even if you don't fight.

Gu Lie was happy to see Di Qiye taking the initiative, whether it was aggressive with a little anger, or the way he was showing off his charm with playfulness, Gu Lie liked it very much.

Perhaps it was because of the different ideas, but Di Qiye's initiative did not show traces of deliberate flattery or flattery, and of course it was not because of Gu Lie's status as an emperor.

It's just out of liking, because it is clear that Gu Lie repays the same respect and love, so even if he is in a lower position, he is very calm, explores and satisfies each other calmly, and is happy to see Gu Lie lose control because of himself.

The existence of this person is enough to make Gu Lie feel at ease.

But he will always be there.

Gu Lie held down Di Qiye, making him stop for a moment, to ease the simmering emotions.

Then, he bent his right knee so that Di Qiye, whose hair was wet with thin sweat, could lean on it.

"The general said I was an animal earlier." Gu Lie pulled Di Qiye's weak hand and kissed it, and even turned up the old score, "Am I stronger than the Wushuang war horse?"

Di Qiye was about to laugh angrily, but was hissed by His Majesty's inflated self-confidence.

Seeing that Di Qiye really wanted to go on strike, Gu Lie quickly coaxed him to coax him. In the end, he still had to work hard to eat by himself, without the blessing of being fed.

In the suburbs of Beijing, the orphanage.

Most of the children who have been displaced since childhood are very sensible. They obediently call "Aunt Fu" and "Mother Fu" to the mother and daughter who manage everything in the orphanage. As for the different guards who come to patrol twice a day, After all, the children were afraid and did not dare to talk.

Aunt Fu also served as their teacher. She wrote a good handwriting and her voice was like a lark in the treetops when she was reading.Aunt Fu was still very beautiful, and the children privately felt that Aunt Fu must be a fairy who came down to earth.

Grandma Fu cooks well and speaks softly.Especially when they were mischievous and made mistakes, and Aunt Fu was angry and punished them, Granny Fu would definitely protect them with blinking eyes, so the children loved Grandma Fu even more.

Fu Lin, who changed her maiden name and was called Aunt Fu by the children, sometimes thinks about the 20 years she spent in the capital of Beiyan, especially the unbearable memory of becoming Queen Yangping, and it feels like a ridiculous dream .

After Emperor Chu ascended the throne, he gave her two ways, one is to give them enough money for the rest of their lives, and live their mother and daughter in an unknown small city, but the two girls live alone, they will inevitably be in danger, if she wants to remarry, Find someone to rely on, Gu Lie can also find someone to arrange a suitable partner.

The second is that they help Gu Lie stay in the capital to do things, but if he stays in the capital, Gu Lie must send guards to patrol them, to monitor them and protect their safety.

After much deliberation, Fu Lin chose the second way.

She didn't make a mistake.You know, when Fu Lin first heard about the second choice, she never thought that she would be able to live the life she is now in the orphanage. She just tried her best to save her own life and that of her mother.

Fu Lin looked at the ginkgo tree in the yard, sewed and stapled the account books, and prepared to hand them over to the guards and present them to His Majesty.

"Aunt Fu! Grandma is back!"

Two children ran in, scrambling to tell her.

Fu Lin walked out with the account book, and she saw her mother smiling and carrying a basket of vegetables, and Jin Wei followed her mother helplessly.

"How many times have I said, don't drag other people to buy vegetables!" Fu Lin said with a straight face, and bowed to Konoe, "Master Konoe, my mother is bothering you again."

Konoe waved his hands again and again, took the account book and left.

Fu Lin turned to look at her mother.

Her mother retorted in a soft voice: "The vegetable seller bullied me for being expensive. This year is a good year, and the prices of vegetables are obviously cheap. With them, no one dares to bully me."

At the end, he pinched his waist confidently.Back then, she was a weak concubine raised by a thin horse in Yangzhou, but now she is a lively old lady in the market.

Fu Lin was helpless: "Okay. The children said they want to eat carrot cake, but I'll say it first, you don't want to make more."

Her mother's eyes lit up, obviously intending to show off her skills, she couldn't wait to walk to the kitchen, and lied softly: "Oh, I know."

Fu Lin sighed, shook her head and laughed.

"Aunt Fu, Aunt Fu, I'm done!"

Fu Lin walked over to the children and picked up the ink brush.
