Chapter 364 Why not confess

The Emperor of Beiqiu beat his chest and stamped his feet. He really blamed him for being greedy. On the one hand, he colluded with Dayin and Dongling to prepare for a sneak attack on Dashuo, and on the other hand, he accepted all the things sent by Dashuo.

He also wanted to rely on the good seeds sent by Dashuo to turn things around and change the situation of food shortage in Beiqiu, so as to strengthen himself and deal with Dashuo.

He underestimated the little emperor Dashuo and thought that he was as stupid as his father. He could make a fortune with the antidote to the plague, but he gave it away for free.

So he didn't doubt at all that Gu Huaiyu would tamper with the good seeds, which led to the current situation.

The good seeds given by Gu Huaiyu were indeed real, but those seeds were processed and cooked.

The Emperor of Beiqiu pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed. This was the punishment given to him by Gu Huaiyu. Beiqiu’s food could only last until the end of summer. If there was no supply, Beiqiu would be in chaos. Gu Huaiyu had planted a mine for him!

When he learned that the Emperor of Dongling had been replaced by Xiao Heng, who had lived in Dashuo, and Dayin was directly driven to the Japanese island, the Emperor of Beiqiu realized that he thought the action was airtight and had no doubts about it. Next, I am afraid that Beiqiu will not be able to escape death. It is really a case of shooting himself in the foot!

Gu Huaiyu found out that the last place the goddess appeared was Beiqiu. He did not want to be an enemy of Beiqiu, but the Emperor of Beiqiu was really below him, so he went with the flow and wanted to give Su Xiaoxiao a big gift.

Now, the Great Yin has been isolated in a corner, the Emperor of Dongling is trying his best to rectify the government, and Beiqiu is worried about food. Everyone finally stopped looking at Dashuo.

Gu Huaiyu conquered all the civil and military officials with his strategy and calmness. He ruled Dongling and Beiqiu without moving a single soldier. I am afraid there will be no second person in the world.

Seeing that Gu Huaiyu has already sat firmly on the throne, Tang Taishi took the initiative to resign, saying that he was too old to be competent for the position of assistant minister.

Seeing that the emperor approved, Prime Minister Pei was unhappy. Why can he, Tang Er, be leisurely while he has to continue to sell coolies? He was not convinced.

So, Prime Minister Pei also submitted his resignation and wanted to retire and return home.

After reading the resignation, the emperor said, "Prime Minister, you are a step late. I have just approved the resignation of Grand Tutor Tang

, and I have already lost my left arm. If I allow you to resign again, you will lose your right arm as well. You better hold on!" Prime Minister Pei said unhappily, "Your Majesty, I have always been inferior to Tang Er in my life. When we took the imperial examination, he was the top scorer and I was the second. Now we are both regents, so why should he retire before me? Your Majesty, although you are not even eighteen years old, in my opinion, you are old enough to rule the country. Please allow me to resign!"

He did not want Grand Tutor Tang to show off for too long. This old fox did not inform me in advance before he resigned. It was so unfair.

Gu Huaiyu looked embarrassed: "Prime Minister, you and Grand Tutor Tang are veterans of three dynasties. If you resign together, I am afraid that the court will be unstable, thinking that I can't tolerate old ministers because I have made some achievements. In this way, as long as you find a new candidate for prime minister, I will allow you to retire

and return home!" Prime Minister Pei was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, don't do this. You still have to find a successor. He didn't find Tang Er either!"

"I have made up my mind, so let's do it!" The emperor didn't want to get involved in the fight between him and Grand Tutor Tang.

Moreover, Grand Tutor Tang resigned for Su Bowen's consideration. Now Su Bowen has made great contributions and is in charge of the military power of Dashuo. As the grandfather and the head of the civil officials, he didn't want the emperor to worry.

The late emperor's teachings were still fresh in his mind. Gu Huaiyu appreciated his painstaking efforts and the fact that he was indeed at the age of retirement, so he agreed.

Once the country was stable, the ministers were busy arranging for the emperor to choose a queen.

Gu Huaiyu said indifferently: "Before, the gentlemen said that I had just ascended the throne and my foundation was not stable. I needed a strong family to assist me. Now, what is your reason?"

The Minister of Rites said: "Your Majesty, now the world is peaceful and the sea is calm. Your Majesty should get married as soon as possible and expand the royal family!"

Gu Huaiyu didn't say anything, but he was still muttering in his heart, I am only sixteen, and Xiaoxiao is only six years old, what are they in such a hurry.

But he naturally did not say this out loud. He asked with a cold face: "My Lords, do you think that the country is peaceful and prosperous now? How many ordinary people are still hungry, how many children are illiterate, and how many corrupt officials are in control of everything? You actually told me that the country is peaceful and prosperous. I swear again today that I will not marry unless the corrupt officials are eradicated and the people of Dashuo are provided for in old age and young!" All

the civil and military officials knelt down . "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed. If Dashuo wants to continue, it must have many children!"

Gu Huaiyu kicked the ball back: "Then you gentlemen should work harder with me to govern the country, rectify the administration, and improve people's livelihood. But when the merits are fulfilled, it will be the day of my marriage!"

This reason is really too high-sounding. The emperor is unwilling to get married for the sake of the people and the country. Who has the right to object?

Gu Huaiyu saw that he easily controlled everyone, and he felt a little proud in his heart. It is not easy to accomplish what he just said. It will take at least ten years, not three to five years. By then, he can marry his little queen.

Thinking of this, Gu Huaiyu's heart was filled with sweetness, and he couldn't suppress a smile on his face. All the civil and military officials saw this, but they couldn't figure out what he was laughing at.

After all, he was still young, and it was easy for him to make such a grand promise in the court. When he is a few years older, it will be too late to regret it .

However, it must be said that Gu Huaiyu is a good candidate to be an emperor, and the question he just raised is the biggest problem for Dashuo.

Those noble ladies who wanted to marry Gu Huaiyu may not be able to wait any longer.

From then on, few people mentioned the matter of getting the emperor married, because the last person who mentioned this matter was beaten with twenty sticks by the emperor for the crime of disturbing the military's morale, and it is estimated that his buttocks are not fully healed yet.

Gu Huaiyu has figured out that as long as Su Xiaoxiao is happy in the future, he no longer forces her to study. When Zhao Wanyue puts a little pressure on her, Su Xiaoxiao will run to the palace to hide, so she spends more time in the palace than at home.

Gu Huaiyu is busy with government affairs, so he plays with the ninth prince Gu Huaian. She

often falls asleep while playing in Gu Huaian's bedroom and is carried back to the Qinzheng Palace by Gu Huaiyu.

Gu Huaiyu did not give Xiaoxiao a palace, so he let her live in the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace. He who is close to the water and the tower gets the moon first, and he can feel at ease only when he has it in front of him.

On this day, Gu Huaian went to the school, and Su Xiaoxiao accompanied Gu Huaiyu to review memorials.

She chased away the palace maids and ground ink for Gu Huaiyu herself, asking as she ground it: "Brother Crown Prince, when you men like someone, do you just watch them secretly? Why don't you express your feelings? Are you talking for nothing? It's really infuriating!"

Su Xiaoxiao became more and more angry as she spoke, splashing ink everywhere!
