Chapter 566 Holding me is more comfortable than holding a cloak
Although it was Junze's order, Li Ruo knew that Gu Yu would also eat it, so he didn't do anything about it, and Junze ate it with gusto.
At the end, Junze commented without shame: "That's all! If I study hard, I will definitely make it more delicious than her!"
But I was secretly fighting in my heart. Last time I made longevity noodles, I lost face in front of Gu Yu. I must learn from it next time and show my skills to Gu Yu in the future.
Gu Yu knocked on his forehead and said, "After eating and drinking, it's time to get down to business."
Junze immediately sat upright, but insisted on holding Gu Yu's hand, calling it a warm hand.
Junze said: "The most important thing now is to find out how the military pay shipped to the border is exploited layer by layer, so that not even one out of ten is saved in the hands of military households."
Gu Yudao: "According to what Guan Yan said, this situation was not caused in a year and a half. It is basically impossible to make them spit it out. The only way is to stop the loss in time, but we also need to have evidence."
Junze said: "At the beginning of the year, a batch of military pay will be sent to various places to provide supplies. I will arrange people there to find out what's going on."
Gu Yudao: "Military pay comes from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is in deficit every year. Everyone is used to them delaying things. They have too many hands and feet in the middle, so they have to kill them in one blow. Just a team of people can arrange it.
It’s far from enough for people to enter. We also need to understand their methods of exploitation and understand this huge network of relationships.”
Jun Zedao: "Now that Zhao Shangshu has the support of Prime Minister Wang, he may become even more unscrupulous."
Gu Yu narrowed his eyes. Under the peaceful and prosperous age, there was such a terrible hole hidden.
The Ministry of Household Affairs is supported by Prime Minister Wang, and it is a very important matter. This can be used to overthrow Prime Minister Wang and severely damage the family.
But there are so many connections behind it, and one pull can affect the whole body. If you want to investigate it layer by layer, the danger is no less than her implementation of the equalization system.
Gu Yu and Junze thought hard about countermeasures together, constantly recalling what Junze said in their minds.
After a while, Gu Yu suddenly said firmly: "Junze, we are leaving the capital and are trapped in the capital. You are being ignored by the Holy Emperor. I am afraid that Prime Minister Wang will suppress you and you will not be able to do anything."
Junze quickly figured out the key and said: "Bandits are rampant in the northwest. I am a military general and have experience in suppressing bandits. If I stay in Kyoto, I will only annoy the Holy Emperor. It is not difficult to leave. I can also regain military power.
Meet up with my second uncle."
"But it is inconvenient for you to leave the capital. Firstly, the battle between Wenhansi and the Aristocratic Family is at a critical moment, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will not let go easily. Secondly, there are many dangers here, and I don't know what will happen, and I can't guarantee that I can protect you.
So you'd better stay in Kyoto and wait for news from me."
Gu Yu looked into Junze's eyes and said, "No, the Holy One will let me go."
"Although the struggle between the humble family and the aristocratic family is fierce, Prime Minister Wang is the most important person in the aristocratic family. Shao Wuji has long been eyeing the Wang family, waiting for a fatal blow."
"The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao Shangshu, and Prime Minister Wang colluded together to destroy the foundation of the country. This was the fatal blow."
"As for the danger, I have been struggling in dire straits and heat. The flashes of swords and shadows, open guns and hidden arrows in the court are not necessarily less than those outside."
"The Holy One wants to attack the Wang family, and Prime Minister Wang will not sit still and wait for death. Shao Wuji is the Holy One's last trump card, and it will not be revealed until the end. Naturally, I cannot compare with Shao Wuji's weight. Instead of waiting for the Holy One to push me out, why not
I'll go to the northwest with you, let the family and Shao Wuji fight, maybe it will be a different world."
"Moreover..."
Gu Yu looked at Junze and said seriously: "I don't want your protection. Let's fight side by side, just like in Jiangnan."
Junze thought to himself how lucky he was to be able to hold such an outstanding Gu Yu in his arms and to be able to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers with him side by side.
Junze stretched out his hand, crossed his fingers with Gu Yu and said, "You have said so, I will not dissuade you."
Gu Yu smiled and said: "Let's go together and wait until the New Year is over to find an opportunity to bring this matter out."
During the Chinese New Year, except for Shao Wuji who was still carrying out his task of confiscation of properties, all government offices were closed for a rest. After the Chinese New Year, they had to deal with the backlog of government affairs.
In addition, there are various details of the military pay case to be investigated.
With this in mind, the new year is going to be quite busy again.
Junze said: "Now that we've finished talking about business, can we talk about personal matters?"
Gu Yu asked: "What private matter?"
Junze said: "A personal matter is that it's very cold outside. If I go back in the snow, I'll get cold. Can Young Master Gu take me in for one night?"
Gu Yu coughed lightly and said, "You're not feeling well yet."
Junze smiled evilly and said, "I'm just here to stay for a while. Where did Young Master Gu go?"
Gu Yu heard the joking in his tone and said, "You!"
Junze held her finger, put it to his mouth, kissed it, and said, "It's just for one night, don't be afraid."
Gu Yu muttered: "Who is afraid? You sleep on the ground!"
Junze said: "Okay!"
At worst, he would wait until Gu Yu fell asleep before climbing up.
After the two of them simply washed up, Junze spread the mat on the ground with ease and lay down on it obediently.
Then he heard subtle movements coming from the bed, and Junze recited the Qingxin Sutra silently in his heart.
The dog quietly climbed onto the bed and nestled next to Gu Yu. Gu Yu touched its chin, and it made a purring sound.
There was the sound of falling snow outside, and the occasional crackle of the fire inside. The world here was extremely quiet.
Junze whispered: "Gu Yu, let's go out and play during the Lantern Festival."
The previous Lantern Festivals were all regrets, but this year should be a success.
Gu Yu thought of the letter sent to her by the old monster, that this old friend also asked her to get together under the lamp.
Gu Yu's lips curled up slightly and she responded: "Okay."
After the room was quiet for a while, Junze heard Gu Yu's breathing gradually becoming steady, and couldn't hold back his restless heart.
He lifted the quilt and quietly stood up from the ground.
Before Ke Ren succeeded in climbing out of bed, he looked up and saw Gu Yu's eyes open, looking straight at him.
His eyes were clear, and he might have expected that this would happen to him.
Junze didn't feel guilty even if he was a thief, so he whispered in Gu Yu's ear, "Can the army enter the city?"
Gu Yu closed her eyes and made a place for Junze.
Junze carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, quickly climbed up, and held Gu Yu in his arms contentedly.
When Gouzi heard some movement, he looked around the bed and found that it was Junze who had sneaked up. He quietly nestled in a corner without fussing with him.
Big Gouzi and Little Gouzi were both there, and the quilt was warm. Gu Yu had a smile on her lips and was about to fall asleep.
Junze wanted to spoil the scenery and whispered: "How about it, it's more comfortable to hold me than to hold a big cloak."
A sound of "Ouch" came from the room.
The tool man who had just warmed the bed was kicked out of bed.
