Mother!Do you want to change your father?

Chapter 18
On the official road leaving the capital, a slightly shabby carriage was moving forward unhurriedly.

"Master, what does the imperial court mean? Are you really planning to take over the three cities of Xuzhou?" The coachman asked worriedly, feeling that the people in the car had been silent since returning from the Toutian Palace.

"No, they plan to go to Xuzhou to pick peaches after we have pacified all the troubled places in Anyu country." The person in the carriage responded.

The coachman was surprised by this answer: "Master, they didn't take Madam Gu seriously, they thought pretty well, but in our Anyu country, there are more than one riots and rebellions, so it's a good time now." The king is more powerful, but relying on him alone to lead the troops to quell the chaos, press the gourd to float the ladle, and want to quell the chaos and regain it, but he doesn't know that the year of the donkey is over.

Even if everything goes well, it will take three to five years at the earliest. By then, if I want to take over the three cities of Xuzhou, according to my subordinates, I'm afraid it's just a dream.

How could Mrs. Gu and the others give up the well-governed city? If there is a fight then, the people of Yuncheng will also suffer.

Hey, master, you said it's good to keep it like this all the time. "The coachman said worriedly.

In the carriage, Zhu Qing also sighed, who could say otherwise!

Yuncheng under his jurisdiction is adjacent to Langcheng and Peicheng. In the past ten years, the well water has not interfered with the river water, and they get along very well.

Not only that, but Yuncheng has also been in the limelight.

One year the bandits attacked Yuncheng, and the people from Peicheng helped beat the bandits away. The people of Yuncheng were still worried that the bandits would come to retaliate. As a result, within a few days, they got the news that the gang The bandits were taken away by the whole nest, and not a single one was left alive.

At that time, Zhu Qing guessed that it should be done by people from the three cities of Xuzhou.

But they didn't publicize that they were the bandits they exterminated because they wanted to leave a good reputation.

In recent years, some poor families in Yuncheng have secretly moved to Xuzhou City. As the parental officer of Yuncheng, Zhu Qing is also very difficult to do.

After all, the three cities of Xuzhou still belong to Anyu Kingdom in name.

Despite the laws of Anyu Kingdom, the government is very strict about household registration management. Except for those who have fame, such as being a scholar, juren, or Jinshi, everyone else needs to go to the government to go through the formalities when going to other places.

However, in the past ten years or so, military turmoil in various places, natural disasters, man-made disasters, diseases and epidemics have caused refugees to flee everywhere. The government couldn't manage it even if it wanted to, and the household registration system basically collapsed.

However, in other words, if it is not for survival and avoiding war, who would want to leave their hometown.

There is a saying that Zhu Qing didn't even dare to say to his own wife and children, that is, if he was not an official of the imperial court, he would also like to take his family to live in the three cities of Xuzhou.

Before, I just listened to other people talking about how it was there, and pretended to go around, and I didn't know what it was, but I thought it was really good there, and I was very envious.

Although after the celebration banquet yesterday, when he refuted those adults who ridiculed him in the imperial study room, his voice was quite high, but in fact, Zhu Qing knew very well that he was guilty.

"Sanpu, you have been with me for so many years. When you go back, you should know what you can say and what you can't say. After all, this is not gossip in the market. If it doesn't work out, it will kill you." Zhu Qing reminded him.

The driver immediately agreed, he was not a driver, but a government servant under Zhu Qing's hands.

This time when he was announced to Beijing, he was a small county magistrate, and he couldn't show much. In order to save expenses, he brought Sanpu, who was more skilled in the yamen, with him.

"My lord, in fact, when the time comes, the imperial court can confer an official post on Mrs. Gu, so that's not the best of both worlds and peace." After a while, Sanpu said again.

Hearing the tone of his subordinate's words, Zhu Qing shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's not that simple, since you were not present yesterday, King Ji even suspected that Mrs. Gu is a puppet manipulated by others.

There are actually other people who control the three cities of Xuzhou. "

"Ah? No way, even if you are looking for a cover to act as a puppet, who would deliberately find a young woman? This King Ji has lived in the conspiracy of the imperial city for too long, so he thinks there is a conspiracy in everything." Sanpu said angrily.

He lives in Yuncheng, so he probably knows more about the three cities of Xuzhou than that noble Prince Ji.

So far, all the things Mrs. Gu led people to do to the three cities of Xuzhou, big and small, are all good things that benefit the people.

Those who are punished and killed are all damned people who are full of crimes and crimes.

For a powerful and capable person like Mrs. Gu, it is most suitable to be the emperor of Anyu country. Then the people of Anyu country will have hope and live a good life.

As soon as this idea came up, Sanpu himself was startled, so he quickly calmed down and drove the car well.

……

In the room in the backyard of the yamen in Xuzhou City, Mrs. Gu was distracted looking at the pair of jade cicadas on her palm, not paying attention to the three children who came in quietly.

"Mother, where did you get this? The carving is so rough, throw it away, my son bought it for you." The child closest to me said with disgust after seeing what was in Mother's hand.

Madam Gu came back to her senses, smiled, and thought for a while: "Your father carved this with his own hands, how can you throw it away?"

When the three children heard that it was carved by their own father, they rushed forward to watch it together.

The three of them were already ten years old, and they had never seen their father when they were born. When they were older, they asked their mother about his father, and their mother only said that fate made people play tricks.

Seeing the sad look of their mother, the three children agreed not to ask about their father again.

Unexpectedly, today I heard my mother mention it.

"Mother, give Xiaoan one."

"Mother, Xiao Le wants one too."

The two children stared at the jade cicada in their mother's hand and begged. They had never seen their father since they were born, and finally they had something related to their father.

Mrs. Gu looked at the two children on the left and right, and then looked at the other standing directly in front of her: "You have three brothers and sisters, and Yuchan only has two. I gave one to each of you, what will my sister do?"

"Oh, Xiao An is the elder brother, so I'll give mine to my younger sister." Xiao An thought for a while and made up his mind.

"Give it to my younger sister, Xiao Le." Another younger sister who also wanted Yuchan after looking at it also expressed her opinion.

Seeing that the two sons are so sensible, Mrs. Gu also smiled: "Ruyi, then I will give you this pair of jade cicadas."

The same boy was well dressed, smiled and shook his head: "Let's give it to the two brothers. I am the youngest, so it would be a pity to lose it. Anyway, if I want to see it, the two brothers will show it to me."

Hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Gu was very pleased. The three children are so kind and sensible, which is really gratifying.

Xiao An and Xiao Le each took a jade cicada, and the older one thought of it and asked, "Mother, can this son wear it with him?"

"Of course." Mrs. Gu smiled.

This pair of jade cicadas was a piece of jade she had picked up in a cave in Broken Soul Valley. Brother Huai, who was blind, carved this pair of jade cicadas, saying they were her marriage tokens.

His eyes are blind, and his hand was injured several times by the carving knife in order to carve this pair of jade cicadas.

This jade cicada has not even been seen by the sculptor himself, let alone by others. If the child wants to wear it close to his body, he can wear it, and it will not reveal his identity...
