There are a total of 50,000 troops stationed in the southwest frontier fortress of Qi. Gu Xiao carefully selected a group of people from his own guards, about two hundred people, and an additional one thousand people. These sergeants have not been reunited with their families for many years. Let them come back, visit relatives along the way, help my brothers in the barracks meet relatives and friends, and bring some things.

They traveled overnight, but the carrier pigeon responsible for transmitting the message arrived in Qiao Qing's hands ahead of time.

Untie the tied letter paper from the thin pigeon legs, Qiao Qing's face showed a bit of joy.

She touched the delicate tail feathers of the pigeon, released her hand, and let it fly to the bird shelf.

Li Ji, who was waiting for the emperor, immediately took the bird food from the hand of the maid, and fed some clean water and food to the hard-working pigeon.

"The minion seems to have heard the magpie announce the good news."

Along the way, the white feathers were dyed with dust and light gray pigeons made two cooing sounds. Qiao Qing smiled and clicked its bird head: "Where is the magpie, this is clearly a dove."

The people who served in her palace had a clever mouth, and it was hard for her to have firm willpower. Otherwise, after listening to all kinds of praise for a long time, she would inevitably swell up and really think she is some kind of crape myrtle star. Where is Sheng Shi Ming Jun, who has been hard to come out of the ages.

The life of the uncle is good, but Qiao Qing wants to be a bright king. No, it is better to be a moody tyrant. The skin is not that important. What she wants is real rights and benefits.

After the merits and demerits, the common people will naturally praise her after gaining the benefits. As long as he doesn't say it in front of her, Qiao Qing doesn't take the literati's grotesque irony in his eyes.

Anyway, no matter how bold these literati were, they would not dare to openly insult the emperor and write anti-poems.

Gu Xiao's performance after receiving the letter made her very satisfied. As a monarch, it is a great thing to be able to have a loyal but not pedantic courtier, not to mention Gu Xiao is indeed a general and can take on great responsibilities.

For someone like Gu Xiao, if there are a hundred more, she wouldn't be too many.

After laughing, Qiao Qing put on layers of heavy and deep clothes again, put on a heavy crown, and pinched the time to bury the emperor's coffin.

She was overwhelmed by the heavy clothes, and there was no smile on her face. She turned her face and warned: "Today's emperor's funeral, there must be no mistakes or omissions, otherwise I will expose your skins."

"Yes, it's all set up, there will never be the slightest mistake."

The emperor was still laughing in front of him, and suddenly his face changed.

After all, when the emperor was still the prince, it was this moody appearance. They had long been used to it. If the emperor was generous and treated people and smiled all day, these talents would feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the emperor died and the prince succeeded to the throne. After no threats, the prince's temper had improved a lot.

Except for those who really made a big mistake and neglected their duties during this period, none of the palace members were severely punished or dragged out to kill them. They were very contented.

In the sound of sad music, Qiao Qing, surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials, watched the first emperor buried in the long-built imperial tomb.

On such an important occasion, hundreds of civil and military officials are undoubtedly absent.

These civil servants are more face-saving than Qiao Qing. They are not willing to be caught in this matter. Qiao Xuan, who originally planned to retire, also came. As one of the three males, he followed Qiao Qing and left behind. She is just a step away.

The Qintian Supervisor chose a rainy day. After all, it was an occasion for nationwide mourning, and the rain seemed to have a more sad atmosphere.

Qiao Xuan glanced at the young emperor who was dressed in dark black clothes and draped in linen and filial piety.

At this time, Qiao Qing's face was still not half happy, and she looked extremely sad.

The former prince was moody and turned his face at every turn, making it difficult to understand his thoughts, but in general, he is a very emotional person. If there is something in his mind, it must be shown on his face and cannot hide his thoughts.

This was also the reason that the prince and the emperor were not in harmony. The original prince hated the rules of the heavenly family and caused her a woman to take medicine and suffer such torture.

The prince did not have the idea of ​​being a charming girl by herself. She was reading men's books anyway, and she knew the insidiousness of men manipulating women.

It was just that the more she watched, she thought that women were clearly no worse than men, and because of the torment of illness, her resentment towards the emperor was increasingly intensified.

If the emperor and the prince have the same power, she does not need such a hard work, and she is also afraid of the mother and the queen day and night.

With this kind of thinking, the prince hated the emperor's face, and the emperor couldn't love the prince.

Qiao Xuan didn't know the truth that the prince hated the emperor, but he knew that the prince really didn't like the emperor.

The father and son have always been in the same situation. It is unreasonable that the emperor died, and the prince can really feel sad from the bottom of his heart.

Qiao Qing feels sad for the death of cheap father, what she feels sad is her own money!

The Qi Dynasty pays attention to the style of thick burial. Even the first emperor, who is not an extravagant emperor, began to build his own tomb within one year of his ascension. Only one-third of Qi's annual fiscal revenue is used for people's livelihood, and one-third One was used for the royal clan, and one third was used to build a tomb for the emperor.

Although this mausoleum has been repaired for more than ten years, the gold and silver funeral objects, the materials used to build these things, and a lot of labor are all money.

Qi Chao has been in her generation for more than two hundred years. Despite the vast land and resources, the tax collected in a year is only four million taels of silver.

Because of the large number of local gentry and the complicated families, there are always ways to exploit loopholes in the law and reduce or exempt taxes.

It is because she is an emperor, but the amount of money that can be used is very small. She is not even as rich as some big wealthy businessmen or local families.

The emperor's mausoleum used so much money, and the emperor's funeral expenses were all taken from the treasury account, and the silver slid away like water that opened the gate.

Looking at the buried emperor, Qiao Qing only felt that his money was buried in the soil along with it.

Waiting until the funeral was over, Qiao Qing's face didn't seem to improve, occasionally looking at Qiao Xuan, his eyes were cold like ice, and he didn't give him a good face because of the other's outstanding face.

In front of money, all beauty is a cloud.

Qiao Xuan felt uncomfortable, seeing the emperor's stinky face to everyone, this was a little balanced.

Because the funeral of the first emperor was a matter of grief, Qiao Qing was not easy to accept gifts from his courtiers.

After all, the royal family has no rules for white weddings, but there is another important event.

Qiao Qing's ascension to the throne is a happy event, not only to have an enthronement ceremony, but also a wedding event, and courtiers also have to give congratulations.

Although ascending to the throne will cost a lot of money, Qiao Qing is still full of expectations, because she can recover the money spent!

Of course Qiao Qing couldn't ask the courtiers for money, but in order to make a lot of money, she sent someone to deliberately release news from her palace.

When today I like to be tacky, I don't like collecting orphans, coral pearls, and other animals, and I don't need to send them from the palace.

Qiao Qing doesn't have the habit of opening a zoo in the palace, and it costs her money to raise this kind of thing.

She sent someone to speak out, and she liked gold and silver jewelry, this kind of particularly tacky, but very shocking treasure at first glance.

Like some treasures, as a prince, she is not easy to sell for money, but the gold is different. Those golden Buddha statues and golden horses can be transformed into golden yellow croakers when they are melted in the official kiln. They are all her private houses. money.

The news said that this was because the prince was treated harshly by the emperor and had a hard life, so he liked this kind of thing.

This is of course false. The emperor has only a few children, and he doesn't like the prince. There is no less good stuff in his palace.

Even things can't be sold, and the prince is not good at making money. Compared with those aristocratic families, the family background is really thin.

It was the emperor's personal palace man who said these words. Since the emperor was the prince, the kind who had been serving for many years, the news was still for those who wanted to ask the new emperor to buy it at a high price.

The officials who took the money from Qiao Qing to "redeemed" his daughter and younger sister were even more convinced of this rumor. All the original collections were cancelled, and those with money and no money would get some gold and silver to make gifts.

For a time, the price of gold in the capital of Qi Kingdom rose with the tide.

Nearly before reaching the throne, Gu Xiao and his guards finally rushed to the capital.

The two thousand guards are very powerful. In order to show that he attaches great importance to this army, Qiao Qing also brought several palace men and Yulin army to meet Gu Xiao in person.

When the emperor travels, no people are allowed to enter the tall buildings on both sides, and the Yulin army is standing everywhere, and the people can only watch the excitement from a distance.

This kind of momentum is to welcome the generals and soldiers who have won several victories for Qi.

When Gu Xiao entered the city, he was still a little nervous. Seeing such a battle, he thought that the emperor was going to encircle them.

Qiao Qing stood farther away. As soon as people came in, a group of Yulin soldiers in armor saluted and spread the welcome words one after another: "Welcome General Gu triumphantly!"

The slogan was set by Qiao Qing early in the morning. These young men have enough vital capacity, and they shouted neatly, which sounded particularly shocking.

As the emperor, Qiao Qing also rode a steed, with his legs clamped between his horse's belly, and came to Gu Xiao from the road where the sergeants made way.

Then there was another term dedicated to leadership, and the **** who followed him also read out the imperial decree to Gu Xiao on the spot.

She didn't reward the other party with money, because she gave silk utensils and other things that were not easy to sell, but there were a lot of such things in the treasury.

Anyway, she didn't have a concubine either. These things were originally given to the concubine, and they were used to reward the courtier's wife and grandmother. It sounded good.

As for the title, Gu Xiao’s merits over the past two years should have been promoted a long time ago.

Qiao Qing intends to get more from Gu Xiao, which is very generous to give a false name.

Wherever he went through such a battle, Gu Xiao turned over and got off his horse when he was excited, and knelt in front of him to thank the holy grace.

Not only Gu Xiao, but the soldiers behind him didn't have much thoughts. Looking at the young emperor, his favorability immediately increased.

These people don't think about the emperor's deeper intentions, but feel that the young emperor attaches great importance to military commanders, which is a great thing for them.

The scene of the monarchs and the raptures did not last long, after all, Qiao Qing had been stuck outside the palace and disturbed the people.

The emperor was gone, and the literati arranged by Qiao Qing rushed into the teahouse and tavern immediately, each and every one slapped the emperor's flattery.

Gu Xiao returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the place was Tianlu Pavilion, which was the emperor's study.

As Qiao Qing listened, he occasionally praised Gu Xiao, and from time to time he drew a few flatbreads to the other party.

Modern people are realistic and don't love the so-called dream words of their boss, but Gu Xiao hasn't drank any chicken soup before, and he was stunned. Obviously, it was extremely useful.

In the end, Qiao Qing stated another purpose of her own: "Gu Aiqing wants to go back to the Southwest. I am most relieved, but there is someone you have to leave it to me."

"Who does your Majesty want?"

"Your lieutenant, Wei Han."

The author has something to say: Han Han is not a male protagonist, at best he is unrequited love. He does not fit my position as a beauty. The male lead must be a great beauty. I leave Han Han to you.
