At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 645
When Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo returned to Handan City, it was already completely dark.Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wen Yanbo and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Gao Bufan come back. Wen Yanbo looked at Yang Qingruo with dissatisfaction, apparently blaming her for the delay in His Royal Highness Qi's return. on.

Gao Bufan sweated, coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Du, Mr. Wen, Wuji, are you here waiting for me?"

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "It's nothing important, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow, King Qi is tired after going out for a day, let's go to rest first, and my subordinates will leave." After speaking, he respectfully saluted and left.

Changsun Wuji also saluted and left, while Wen Yanbo pondered for a while and said: "I heard that Empress Xiao sent someone to see King Qi today, but King Qi happened to be away."

Gao Bufan was about to speak, but Wen Yanbo had already bowed respectfully and said: "This subordinate will leave." After speaking, he turned and left.

Gao Bufan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, thoughtful, Yang Qingruo pursed her cherry lips, seemed a little embarrassed, and suddenly turned around silently: "I'm leaving!"

Gao Bufan hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"

Yang Qingruo snorted slightly and said, "Of course I'm going back to accompany my aunt, so that no one can gossip." After finishing speaking, she left without looking back, unable to hold her back.

Gao Bufan had a look of helplessness, it really was that the widow had a lot of affairs in front of her family, Empress Xiao had a bad reputation in the first place, but she was still charming at the age of several decades, naturally there were more gossips, and now it is being circulated The love affair between Empress Xiao and Yu Wenhuaji, no wonder Wen Yanbo was so nervous when he learned that Empress Xiao invited him to see him.

Obviously, Wen Yanbo was worried that he would follow in the footsteps of Yu Wenhuaji and become obsessed with this ominous woman, Empress Xiao, and ruin his reputation. You must know that Empress Xiao is Yang Guang's empress, if he sleeps her, I'm afraid they will be pointed at the spine and scolded, especially the forces like Li Tang and Li Mi will seize this point and make a big fuss, saying that they have raped the late emperor's empress and completely made themselves black.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Wen Yanbo, Du Ruhui and others to be nervous, and Wen Yanbo couldn't help reminding himself vaguely in front of Yang Qingruo, probably because he wanted to use Yang Qingruo's words to warn Empress Xiao, and not try to regain power by luring himself .

Gao Bufan really died unjustly. In fact, he never had any unreasonable thoughts about Empress Xiao from the beginning to the end. After all, the family members are all beauties like angels.Not worth it!
However, it is the job of a courtier to advise the master, so Gao Bufan doesn't blame Wen Yanbo for "mindling other people's business", such a loyal courtier deserves to be rewarded
The next day, Gao Bufan held the first important meeting after the occupation of Handan, which was also a public trial meeting for Yu Wenhua and his brothers. This time, there were more people attending the meeting, because most of the old ministers of the original Sui Dynasty were arrested. He has absorbed them, such as Yu Shinan, Pei Yun, He Chou, Cui Junsu, Yuan Ziqian and so on.

Du Ruhui, as the right chief of the Qi Palace, has always attached great importance to recruiting talents, and this is also his duty, so whenever he goes to a place, or every time the Qi army conquers a town or destroys a force, the first thing Du Ruhui has to do The job is to recruit talents.

After Yu Wenhua and his regicide rebelled, they took all Yang Guang's ministers under his seat. Although there are not many outstanding ministers among these ministers, they are undoubtedly experienced officials, and they are literate and judgmental. He could write and count, so Du Ruhui gained a lot this time, but he eliminated the ones with really bad character, and received almost all the rest as ordered.

Now that the territory of Qi State is getting bigger and bigger, the demand for management talents is also getting bigger and bigger, so you can't be too picky, as long as you don't have a bad reputation as an official and people with bad intentions, you can use them first.

The public trial meeting started. Gao Bufan took out the "judgment" written by Du Ruhui and read it out in public. All the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army beheaded for public display.

Although Yu Wenhuaji had already been killed by Yang Qing, his body could not escape the fate of being stabbed, and then Yuwen Zhiji and all the males directly related to Yuwen's family were also executed. Politics is so cruel, one person succeeds and the other fails , the whole family suffers.

As a time traveler, Gao Bufan actually does not agree with this kind of barbaric law enforcement, but as the saying goes, do as the Romans do, many things are beyond his control. Although he is the king of Qi, he is bound by these rules. If we don't get rid of the roots, I'm afraid that the people under his command will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Besides, after Gao Bufan executed Yu Wenhuaji in Handan, he then summoned the world in the name of Empress Xiao, and Gao Qi naturally became famous, even overshadowing Li Tang and Li Wei.

It is said that although Yang Guang was spurned by the people, he was still the orthodox and legal monarch of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, although the current Sui Dynasty is torn apart, there are still many local government offices that still obey the rule of the Sui Dynasty in name, such as Lingnan, Jiaozhi and In Bashu and other places, the officials who govern these places are still the courtiers of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Gao Bufan's act of beheading Yuhua and his brothers to avenge Yang Guang will undoubtedly win the support of these places better.

In addition, there are many old ministers and talents loyal to the Sui Dynasty, and they will also come to join Gao Qi, so there are still many benefits. Yu Wenhuaji is undoubtedly a great gift to Gao Bufan, which has brought him both fame and fortune.

After dealing with Yu Wenhua and his brothers, the next step is to settle Empress Xiao. After discussing with a group of counselors, Gao Bufan finally decided to continue respecting Empress Xiao as empress and send her to Gaoyang Palace to live temporarily. If Yang Qing is worried, I also went with him.

Gao Bufan was naturally very reluctant, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Empress Xiao was Qingruo's aunt and her only elder, so it was reasonable to be filial to Empress Xiao. With Empress Xiao's approval, otherwise Qing Ruo would not even have a natal family when the time came to meet her, so she would be so pitiful.

After sending someone to send Empress Xiao away, not only Du Ruhui, Wen Yanbo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but even Gao Bufan himself. Such a lively beauty stayed by his side, but he was still the queen of the previous dynasty. It will cause some gossip, and this empress Xiao seems to be unwilling to be lonely, so it's better to stay away from it, so as not to make mistakes.

Summer is coming to autumn, and it will soon be July. During this time, two pieces of good news came from Zhuo County. The eldest grandson Wangfei and Dou side concubine both gave birth smoothly, the eldest grandson Wugou gave birth to a little prince, and Dou Xian Niang added a cute little princess to King Qi.

　Sorry, the writing has been a bit rough these two days, so I will make a short chapter to transition.
