Yongxing Ward, Tang Mansion.

The mansion covers an area of more than ten acres, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and pavilions. The regulations are the same as those of the royal palace.

Tang Mingyuan came back from the execution ground, worried.

Sitting in the study, drinking cup after cup of tea, I recalled that I suddenly came to this world, and originally I only planned to make a living and live a leisurely life as a rich man.

I never thought that God would not fulfill my wishes, but people and things pushed me to where I am today.

"Kekeke..."

A burst of laughter as clear as a bell came, pulling Tang Mingyuan back from his thoughts. He raised his head and looked out the window. It turned out that his daughter was lying on the window sill looking at him.

"Tong Tong Have you finished your homework?"

"It's been written a long time ago!"

The daughter pouted, and then asked with concern, "Why is daddy unhappy? Tell me, mother said this will make things easier."

"Nothing's wrong."

Tang Mingyuan stroked her daughter's hair, and her originally determined heart was somewhat shaken.

Eastern Depot The governor acted strangely and sinisterly, and if he teamed up with him, one careless move would be a major crime that would kill the nine clans. People with five roots do not care about their relatives, Tang Mingyuan can't bear to leave his wife and daughter.

"After all, I'm not a material for big things."

Tang Mingyuan coaxed his daughter away, thinking about how to check for leaks and fill in the gaps to increase the chance of winning.

After a while.

Wife Su Yun'er opened the door and came in, put new tea on Tang Mingyuan, stood behind her and gently massaged the top of her head. "Tong Tong said that your husband is worried?"

Tang Mingyuan briefly told the story of meeting the Governor, held his wife's hand, and sighed.

"When I close my eyes now, I see Lu Family heads rolling around, and the cry of Mr. Lu's grandson is ringing in my ears, so that something must be done, and must be done!"

Su Yun'er supported. "My husband is the head of the family. I will support whatever you want."

Tang Mingyuan said worriedly, "Nothing is guaranteed to happen in this world. If you are not careful, it will endanger the lives of both of you. It is better to leave the capital and go back to Jiangning to visit relatives."

"When such a storm is coming, what will Your Majesty think when Chief Minister sends his wife and daughter away?"

Su Yun'er said, "It is better to be safe in the capital, where His Majesty can see, and increase the chance of winning."

Tang Mingyuan praised, "Yun'er is extremely talented, but it's a pity that she was born at the wrong time. If she had been born hundreds of thousands of years later, she might have been able to leave the imperial palace and become a prime minister."

Su Yun'er smiled and said, "How can a woman be the prime minister in the world? Isn't the world in chaos?"

Tang Mingyuan said, "Not only can I be the prime minister, I can also ascend the throne and become the emperor!"

"My husband is just joking."

Su Yun'er knows my husband's temperament and often says some shocking things, but after hearing his explanation, it makes sense, so he solemnly reminded me.

"My lord, that Eastern Depot Governor is insidious and cunning, so please be careful if you join forces with him. When it comes true, he will take control of the palace, which is similar to the deposed regent!"

Tang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "I can't fight Eastern Depot Governor."

He can't compare with his intelligence and cognition, but even if he works hard, Tang Mingyuan doesn't think he's far behind, but he just can't survive in terms of longevity.

Zhou Yi does not need to fight to the death with Tang Mingyuan, you just need to endure it slowly and you will win.

Su Yun'er frowned slightly. "Then we need to take precautions early. We can station Capital Garrison at the four city gates to hold a stalemate with Eastern Depot."

"Yun'er, don't worry."

Tang Mingyuan counted the time, and Eunuch Lu, who contacted the world's masters, would be back in another year at most.

"Director Zhou will be in the capital for a long time!"

After the Lu Family rebellion, Nine Attendants has great power.

Tang Mingyuan did not avoid the massacre of his colleagues, deliberately showed weakness to Nine Attendants, repeatedly gave in, and allowed these eunuchs to obstruct and change the New Deal.

For example, the former emperor had abolished the poll tax, and Ministry of Revenue was very dissatisfied when he walked Eunuch Lu and demanded that newborns pay taxes.

"The late emperor exempted the head tax from the Zhengtong period, and births during the Tianshun period will not be counted!"

The government decree was issued, and the officials collected poll taxes from children under four years old in accordance with the law.

Fortunately, the landlords and gentry were not short of a few taels of tax money. Many poor people had no money left, so they had no choice but to throw their children to death or drown them in order to get tax exemptions.

It is impossible to rebel, but now a benevolent king is in charge!

The common people could not afford the Dingkou tax and did not dare to have children. They went home and slept in their clothes every day, fearing that they could not bear the fundamental desire between men and women.

Confucianism's desire to destroy people, slogans that have been shouted for thousands of years, are of no use. To achieve it, we have to rely on policies!

Eunuch Lu will divide the poll tax collected into thirty-seven with Emperor Tianshun, seven to himself and three to your majesty, and present it together with the newly developed powerful Essence Nourishing Soup.

Emperor Tianshun was well aware of what Eunuch Lu had done. Instead of criticizing him harshly, he issued a decree to confer a knighthood.

Count Angong!

At the same time, Emperor Tianshun was very satisfied with Tang Mingyuan's concession. He issued several decrees to reward various gold and silver jewelry, and also named Su Yun'er as the first-grade wife.

The growing favor is evident.

When Tang Mingyuan received the imperial edict, he was reading the secret book sent by Eastern Depot, which recorded how many people in various states had killed their children with their own hands.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness, I will do my best!"

After saying that, he did two things. First, he recommended Ministry of Justice Zeng Shangshu as the second assistant.

Their age and merits all met the law, so the process went smoothly. Of course, there were more than ten people who met the criteria, and most of them survived until death without joining the cabinet.

Secondly, he wrote a letter and sent it to Southern Frontier, and handed it to General Xie who was fighting against the barbarians.

Tianshun four years.

winter.

General Xie invented a new type of artillery, destroyed the Man King's stronghold, captured the Man King and hundreds of others alive, and accomplished the feat of opening up borders and destroying the country.

Emperor Tianshun is overjoyed.

Decide to escort the Barbarian King back to Beijing and offer Imperial Ancestral Temple as a prisoner!

The following spring.

General Xie led his troops back to Beijing and was awarded the title Grand Marshal Who Pacifies the South.

Emperor Tianshun personally beheaded the Barbarian King at Imperial Ancestral Temple and placed it on the incense table along with the three animal sacrifices as a sacrifice to the ancestors of the Zhao family.

The newly-appointed Minister of Rites, Minister Xu, wrote a eloquent 30,000-word congratulatory message, touting Emperor Tianshun as the supreme emperor and the supreme emperor Grand Ancestor.

Emperor Tianshun was supported by his two godsons and eunuchs, and his blue-gray face was a sickly, excited red.

"I am destiny!"

Tianshun five years.

It was supposed to be spring in March, but it snowed for several days and nights.

A spring snow brings a disaster.

The people who depended on the weather for food saw large tracts of wheat seedlings freezing to death in the fields. They wanted to cry but did not dare to cry out, lest they be captured by the police.

On this great day for the country, why are you crying? Do you have a problem with His Majesty?

The happy event originated from the palace. Noble Consort Shu, who was ten months pregnant, was about to give birth. According to Imperial Hospital's judgment and medical doctor Liu Yu's pulse, there was a high probability that she would be a prince!

The foundation of the country will be solid and the country will last for thousands of years.

Emperor Tianshun decreed, sealing Noble Consort Shu as Empress, and taking over Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

Doctor Liu Yu is ordered to check the pulse every day and make sure there is no mistake, otherwise the Nine Clan will be punished. Since Noble Consort Shu, no matter how many palace maids were procured, no woman has become pregnant.

This day.

Liu Yu Doctor came out from the corner gate of the palace and got on the Imperial Hospital sedan chair.

An old voice suddenly came into my ears. "How many days will it take to give birth?"

Doctor Liu Yu said in a low voice, "I will use secret medicine to stabilize the fetus, and the baby will be delivered around the uterus ten days later, not more than an hour later."

After waiting for a moment, there was no sound.

Liu Yu Doctor breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was frightened by the evil reputation of the Governor and always felt extremely nervous when talking to him.

Back to Imperial Hospital.

All the colleagues I met along the way bowed and saluted, and used all kinds of overt and covert auspicious words to flatter me.

Liu Yu Doctor felt refreshed immediately, and the taste of power was more fascinating than beauty, gold and silver. Carefully think about how to accurately control the fetus, and report an error of one hour to the governor, but the actual error can only be a quarter of an hour.

This is real merit, and it will surely pay off in the future.

Since joining the Du Gong in the fourth year of Zhengtong, Dr. Liu Yu has been promoted all the way to the court judge, and has helped Eastern Depot do many good and bad things, right and wrong. They have been inseparable for a long time.

The Du Gong has gone through three dynasties and has promoted countless little people, and Dr. Liu Yu is just one of them.
