Because they are the majority, they have many intricate channels for public opinion.

Therefore, during this period of time, the people of Yuzhou were not very comfortable.

Hou Xinjun wanted to put this aside in advance, but after checking the salt tax over the years, it was found that the current salt tax was less than three-fourths of the previous level.

This will affect taxation, but the new emperor wants to send people to inspect the salt affairs, but the minister who was previously stubborn and seemed loyal and patriotic and grasping etiquette suddenly turned into a quail.

Because they know that this muddy water is too difficult to wade through.

The interests involved are too great, and you may not be able to come back once you leave, and it may even affect your family.

The effort and the reward are too disproportionate, but competing with the new king on etiquette, whether he loses or wins, greatly enhances his official prestige, and is a typical favor without any expense.

This is the main reason why there are a lot of civil servants arguing blindly in history books or ancient costume dramas, and people nowadays look stupid.

Finally, Prince Zhao Yingce took the initiative to request the order, and the matter was pushed forward.

It's just that when selecting military generals to accompany him, Uncle Shen Guo was chosen. Uncle Shen's family loaned money, and the loan sharking incident broke out.

The other party couldn't pay back the money, so he committed suicide and was the worst offender. No matter what, he ignored it and had to pay a sum of money.

In this era, most of the time, the law fails to deal with people. Even if Xie Yu makes a penalty, it is just a routine remedy.

Under such circumstances, Uncle Shen Guo had no choice but to delay.

It was replaced by General Xiao Duan, and then General Xiao Duan stayed overnight in Guangyuntai. A fisherman woman said that General Xiao Duan forced her to act and had just reported to Kaifeng Mansion.

Just as Xie Yu was about to be sentenced, the fisherman woman committed suicide because she couldn't bear the humiliation.

Even if General Xiao Duan is reasonable, he has fallen into this trap and cannot follow him.

After that came General Geng, naturally the same was true, and with the strength of his tigress, naturally he couldn't do it either.

A discerning person can see that something is wrong.

Afterwards, although Xie Yu punished several government officials who had colluded with each other, they turned around and became a wealthy man with land and a house. What do you think?

In the end, the only person who followed Prince Zhao Yingce to inspect the salt affairs was Gu Tingye, who was not afraid of trouble.

Anyway, his reputation has long been ruined in Bianjing City, and some methods cannot be used against him.

It's just that Gu Tingye paid the prince to inspect the salt affairs, which made Yu Yanran very worried. In this era, the husband is the wife, even though Yu Yanran didn't want to marry Gu Tingye at first.

It was only because of the orders from my father and stepmother that I reluctantly agreed.

But after marrying Gu Tingye, Yu Yanran discovered that apart from the unpleasantness of the Gu family, this Gu Tingye was not as miserable as the outside world said.

On the contrary, he is very protective of himself and is an extremely qualified man.

This also made Yu Yanran understand the main reason why her grandparents who loved her did not object to her marrying Gu Tingye even though they knew that Gu Tingye had a daughter and a son with his wife.

Especially now that Gu Tingye has returned to Bianjing to serve as the commander of the imperial army. After living in separate houses, the husband and wife are harmonious. They don't have to go to greet their stepmother every day. The relatives of the Gu family rarely come, which makes Yu Yanran very relaxed.

However, now that Gu Tingye is leaving Beijing again, he is still on a salt inspection mission. Yu Yanran is his grandfather, Mrs. Yu, and an official who was killed from the bottom.

Yu Yanran naturally knew through her ears and eyes that the salt affairs were too involved. Even if Gu Tingye was now a new noble in the court and could save him, but just in case...

But even if he knew about it, Yu Yanran's character could only make Gu Tingye pay attention to his health and safety when he was outside, and he could advise him otherwise.

This was an errand for the imperial court. She came from a womanly family, and it was the tradition to take care of her husband and raise her children. She did not dare to interfere with Gu Tingye's work for the official family.

Fortunately, after Gu Tingye left, Shen Huangmei, who married into the Zheng family, and family members from the Yuzhou family often came around.

Later, Minglan also came, and Yu Yanran felt better.

Later, Xie Yu also sent Zhao Pan'er to comfort her, and Zhao Pan'er said that she had seen Minglan.

Xie Yu also lamented that if he hadn't intervened, Minglan would have been the mistress of this family.

He also heard that Gu Tingye left many generals for Yu Yanran before leaving, and he immediately understood what was going on.

After watching Gu Tingye, he also knew that inspecting the salt affairs would definitely offend people and prevent someone from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Speaking of the dog jumping over the wall, Xie Yu and Yuzhou regiment training envoys Zhao Zongquan, Gu Tingye and other Yuzhou faction came to Bianjing to complain.

Zhao Pan'er was specially asked to stay with Queen Shen to protect her, but Zhao Pan'er was defeated by her four fists.

Mrs. Zou, the first wife of Uncle Shen Guo, put on Queen Shen's clothes and pretended to be Queen Shen at the critical moment to attract the assassins.

In the end, although Queen Shen was safe and sound, Mrs. Zou was beheaded by the assassin and took the credit.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu was also frightened. Later, after returning to Beijing, he selected four or five qualified female servants in the house and taught them martial arts so that they could protect the internal affairs in the future.

After knowing this situation, Xie Yu asked Zhao Pan'er to choose two soldiers to lend to Gu Mansion to protect Yu Yanran's safety.

After all, there are differences between men and women. No matter how powerful the family leader is, he is still a man, which is often inconvenient.

However, when Gu Tingye returned to Beijing later, he found out that he had borrowed two weapons from him and then never repaid them.

Sure enough, it makes sense for everyone to say that Gu Tingye is a scoundrel.

Ming Lan is now married to her first love, Qi Heng. Although it was a little awkward at first, since she gave birth to a legitimate son to Qi Heng and now has a second daughter, her life has been smooth sailing.

Aunt Kang naturally wanted to beat Qiu Feng. At first, Minglan was concerned about Mrs. Wang's face and tolerated it many times.

But later this incident made Princess Pingning know that Princess Pingning usually doesn't speak, but her hidden fighting power is amazing. Not only does she not use curse words when swearing, but she can also crowd people to death.

Although Aunt Kang's offline status was not high, she did not dare to embarrass Minglan or take advantage of Minglan after being squeezed out once by Princess Pingning.

This incident brought a big step closer to the relationship between Minglan and Princess Pingning's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Minglan also forgot about Princess Pingning's words of humiliation to her, and really respected her as the Queen's wife.

Princess Pingning was also happy with this, and occasionally found excuses to bring Wei Xiaoniang into the Duke of Qi's mansion. Although she did so herself, she actually wanted Minglan and Wei Xiaoniang to meet and talk.

This made Xie Yu's anxiety dissipate a lot.

When the heroine marries the second man, the woman finds a man who loves her more. Although she may not necessarily love him more than the other man, she will not have to work hard in the future.

Unbalanced love will make the other party give more and accept more, and the other party will not be more tired.

As for living a comfortable life, it is better for others to pamper you.

However, it seems that Aunt Kang is also a talented person, and Minglan's path will not work.

Somehow, I found out about Shulan and came to Xie Yu to visit Shulan.

This frightened Shulan so much that after Xie Yu returned home, she hesitated and said it.

Aunt Kang wanted to find a good future for her son Kang Jin. Xie Yu was surprised by how big her face was.

However, I knew that Kang Jin was the legitimate son of Aunt Kang. Although he was only from a Juren family background, he was still highly motivated.
