The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

275

Not long after Lian Bao'er got married, Guyu and Feng Mo also got married.

Unlike Lian Baoer who married as Liu Yu's sister, Guyu was a maid, so there was much less noise.

In addition to the makeup and silver money given by Liu Yu, Jingzhe also gave a very generous makeup, a gold hairpin with gold ointment, which weighed several taels.

The gift from Lixia was a set of the latest double-sided embroidered clothes from Yuzhentang, which cost quite a bit of money.

The noses of several girls turned red from crying.

Jingzhe choked up and explained:

"Guyu, you must be good. If Feng Mo dares to bully you, tell me and I will beat him back for you."

Seeing Jingzhe crying with tears and snot, I couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Are you sure you can beat Feng Mo?"

"Eh?" A snot bubble came out of Jingzhe's nose. She really couldn't beat him, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "I can ask my wife to help me deal with him."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yu hesitantly and asked expectantly, "Madam, you will help me, right?"

"Yes." Liu Yu nodded without hesitation and reminded with a smile: "You are old enough to get married. You can choose a man who is more powerful than Feng Mo as your husband. That way, even if I don't help, you can still beat him!"

Lixia disagrees.

Jingzhe, however, became interested and asked stupidly, "Feng Mo is already very powerful. Is there anyone in our mansion who is more powerful than Feng Mo?"

"Needless to say, it's Feng Xiao." Lixia teased.

Liu Yu and Lixia wanted to laugh when they thought of Feng Xiao's taciturn appearance and Jingzhe who was like a hammer.

But Jingzhe thought about it seriously, and then said seriously:

"I think it's possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "bang" outside the house, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Then another guard's voice came in:

"Feng Xiao, why did you fall?"

Jingzhe's eyes lit up, and he left with a sentence, "I'll go ask Feng Xiao if he's willing to marry me?" and ran out.

Liu Yu and Lixia looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Mr. Chen San came in and saw Jingzhe who hurriedly saluted him and rushed out like the wind. He looked at Liu Yu and asked what happened.

Liu Yu told him about the conversation just now, and finally said helplessly:

"Alas, I may have caused trouble for the people around you."

Uncle Chen laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "I think it's good. Feng Xiao, that wooden man, and Jing Zhe, that loud and bold girl, complement each other."

Feng Xiao, who had just climbed up, tripped again. My master is tricking me!

During this delay, Jingzhe caught up with him.

Liu Yu and Chen Sanye didn't care about this matter, just like Guyu and Feng Mo, they let the two of them play freely.

Another year passed. Liu Yu and Chen Sanye's son, Xiaotuanzi, was one and a half years old. He had just learned to walk and could call Liu Yu "Mom" in a sweet voice. He had big eyes and long eyelashes, and inherited the good looks of his parents, making him very lovable.

On this day, the court, which had just been calm, exploded again during this morning court session.

The reason was that the Eight Hundred Miles Expedition was because someone in the northwest had started a rebellion, and those who were plotting the rebellion directly occupied a county.

And there is a tendency to expand outward.

Receiving it at this time showed that the court's control was failing, otherwise such a big event of treason would have been reported to the court before it even happened. It was not until such a big event that the court received the news.

After this incident, Mr. Chen San once again proposed reforms to Zhou County's local policies.

The county was divided into several "li", each li consisted of 110 households. In each li, 10 households were selected as "jia", and each jia elected one household as "jia head", and the remaining 1 households were elected by one household as "li head".

【Adoption of the Lijia system】

The resistance this time is obviously much smaller than the last time.

However, it is still difficult to get the agreement of all the ministers in the court.

"Since Lord Chen is so sure that your proposal is useful, then you should go to the northwest and put down the rebels in Liping County, and then implement it in Liping County. If it succeeds, the ministers and I will agree..."

The person who was speaking was someone who openly joined Chen Sanye's team, but secretly was trying every means to bring down Chen Sanye.

He just stepped forward with such a good opportunity.

This time, even Mr. Chen Sanye’s men had no objection.

The thing that officials in the court fear the most is to do something that is troublesome and has no benefits. No official is willing to do such a thing.

Moreover, this is a nationwide reform. If it goes well, there will be no benefits and people will criticize it. If it goes badly, it will be even more serious.

The people will curse him to death with their spit, and maybe even record his name in history books as a curse on him.

Who wants to do it!

No one wants it.

They thought no one was willing to do so, and so did Mr. Chen San.

But Master Chen San agreed. He stood out from the front of the officials and knelt down: "Okay, I will handle this matter. Your Majesty, please be a witness."

The little emperor knew Master Chen San's temper. No one could change what he wanted to do, not even him.

"Okay, I will immediately issue an order to let Yu Yuzhang Hou go with you..."

On the second day, after the trip to Lingnan, Liu Yu sent Chen Sanye off again, and it was unknown when he would return.

She stood at the dock holding the little boy, watching him sail away. When the big ship carrying him disappeared from her sight, her eyes became red and her vision blurred.

Mr. Chen San was gone for a full year and a half.

During this year and a half, Liu Yu spent his time teaching little Tuanzi and following the old lady to the small Buddhist temple every day to copy scriptures and pray for blessings.

In the early days, the news coming out of Liping County was terrifying, but it got better and better later on. Up to now, the rebels in Liping County have not only been subdued, but new local policy reforms have been adopted, and the land has been re-settled.

During this period, even Mr. Chen San was assassinated many times, but he succeeded in the end.

The summer harvest in Liping County is almost complete.

Although not much, this is just one county. What if it is the whole country? How much more would there be? I dare not imagine the number.

Of course, during this reform process, a large number of officials were investigated for corruption, including many in local governments and also in Beijing.

Master Chen San had a hunch that returning to the capital would lead to strong opposition from the ministers.

As it turns out, his instincts were right.

After returning to the capital, many court officials impeached him, and all the impeachment papers were in his hands.

He used strong means to purge several ministers who were very opposed to him, and then used thundering means to formally implement the new policy in Dajin.

This busy work lasted for five years, and all the work in the northwest and southeast was completed.

In the past five years, Mr. Chen Sanye and Liu Yu have been away from home most of the time. He would be away for a year or even two years without returning to the capital.

However, Liu Yu never felt sad for him, because under his reforms, the dying dynasty of Da Jin once again showed signs of life, and there was no need to worry about what happened in his previous life.
