They were unable to fulfill any of these requirements.
Well, admitting that Gu Cong was framed can be done reluctantly.
But we have to hand over Gu Cong's complete body...
Isn't this horse-riding an embarrassment to them? Who knows where Gu Cong's body was thrown?
However, a group of officials soon thought of something, gathered together and muttered, and instantly solved the matter of Gu Cong's body.
Because before the Emperor came back from Jiangnan, he seemed to have known what happened today, so he found someone to make a fake body, which could fool him anyway.
Next, only the problem of the Xuanjia Army remains.
Honorary titles can be given, but they are not worth much anyway, and tax exemptions can be fooled. Anyway, it is already difficult to levy taxes with such chaos. When the country stabilizes, whether to levy or not is another matter.
But the consolation money for Xuan Jiajun's family is a huge amount, and it is a huge amount of money that will cause them to suffer heavy losses now.
Where can they get so much money?
"Marshal Gu, the court has no money. Aren't you making things difficult for the court?"
Gu Mo, "Don't you all carry the imperial court's money in your bags?"
Some people may say that corrupt officials have not existed in all dynasties, and there are no officials who are not corrupt?
However, should officials be greedy? Is it normal to be greedy? There are so many officials in the court. If you are more greedy and I am more greedy, how much will end up in the treasury? How much will be fed back into the hands of the people?
These people present may not be treacherous or evil people, but don’t forget that they are all officials. In this era when literati dominate the world, how much power do they have? When they collectively follow the trend and forget themselves
What kind of disaster will our mission and responsibility bring to this era and the people?
Gu Mo still said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If you want to be an official, if you want to enjoy the glory and power of being an official, if you want to bring glory to yourself and your family, you must bear the responsibility of being an official.
Responsibility is an unspoken social rule.
When more and more people do not take social rules seriously and everyone pursues individuality and self-development, it is no wonder that this dynasty has perished.
Gu Mo didn't care about this dynasty. Anyway, the demise of a declining and decadent dynasty represented the rise of a new and vigorous dynasty, which was a good thing for the people.
If she was just an ordinary person and her father and brother were not heroic figures, she could even be a rebel and be the one to overthrow this dynasty.
But she couldn't, she had to consider the honor of the Gu family. Her father was a hero who defended the family and the country. He would rather die unjustly in prison than say a disobedient word. Even though he knew that he would definitely die when he returned to the capital, he still asked his sons to defend the city.
…
Her brothers knew clearly that the emperor wanted to eradicate the enemy, but they did not surrender to the enemy, nor did they flee from the battlefield. None of the 100,000 Xuanjia soldiers insulted the name of their loyal general.
They use their lives to express their loyalty to this country and their integrity. You can call them foolish and loyal, but this is a righteous spirit recognized by this era.
And in this era where the concept of family is deep-rooted, her father and brother also have a great influence on her.
It is precisely because she is Gu Cong's daughter and the sister of the three brothers that she can lead the Iron Eagle Army to build prestige so quickly and have such a good reputation among the people, because everyone believes that her father and brother are so good and so loyal.
, she must also be a person of integrity and ability who will lead the people to live a good life.
In turn, what she does will also affect the reputation of the Gu family and the Xuanjia Army.
She can be disrespectful to the emperor and vent her dissatisfaction with the foolish emperor, but when she becomes a rebel who leads the rebellion, all the honor of the Gu family and the Xuanjia Army will be in vain.
They will follow her and be crucified on the pillar of shame of history.
She was restrained, laughing and cursing, not so free, and did not have the right to freely choose her own life. Gu Mo felt vaguely in his heart that she shouldn't be like this...
However, there is nothing wrong with thinking like this. She has cares, scruples, goals of struggle and hard work, and there seems to be light ahead. She has been surrounded by light, moving forward with her head held high, and is worthy of those who have high hopes for her.
…
At this moment, she looked at the group of officials in front of her who were scolding her for her excessive demands, and said: "Since you keep saying how important the country is, then you can come up with this money. I believe that for this small amount of money, everyone just needs to squeeze in."
, it can always be squeezed out.”
It is difficult to correct the social rules that everyone is accustomed to, and Gu Mo doesn't know whether her method is correct, whether it will succeed, whether it is worth doing it, but now she wants to do it
Yes, no matter what the outcome is.
The officials were very angry at her words.
Do you think money is like a cow? Can it really be squeezed out by squeezing it?!
"Didn't Miss Gu get back a lot of property when she attacked Wang Ting this time? Why didn't she use it to appease Xuan Jiajun's family?"
Everyone suddenly remembered that Gu Mo had robbed the entire royal court of the real king this time. Did she still plan to keep the money she had robbed?
Let them use money to appease Xuan Jiajun's family, but she wants to keep the money stolen from them, which is a beautiful idea!
Gu Mo, "I returned to the capital from the Zhen Kingdom. Along the way, I encountered many refugees who were causing trouble. They fled everywhere and caused great harm. I must give them some money, settle them, and resume production, so that the country can be stabilized."
The officials looked at Gu Mo with wide eyes and disbelief, "So you just dispersed all the way back to the capital like a good boy?"
Gu Mo shook his head, "No."
hear him
She denied it, and the officials breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment they heard Gu Mo say: "I'm not the only one. I gave half of the money to Mr. Li, and Mr. Li did the same."
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Yanxiu, who nodded, "Yes, that's it."
head
The officials were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
"How much money is left?"
Li Yanxiu's expression was a bit incredulous, "Sir Yu, what are you thinking? There are so many refugees, what money will we have left to pacify them all the way? We have also borrowed a lot ourselves, but I have invested my entire property. The national treasury will be sufficient in the future
Yes, you want to pay me back..."
The officials collectively had difficulty breathing and were trembling.
Even if he doesn’t want to pay them back, will they still have to pay him back in the future?
Shameless thing!
"You said that if you use it to appease the people and resume production, you must give it to the people? Where is the evidence?"
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a huge amount of money? He's not a big fool. He would use it to appease the people, and even beat them to death and they wouldn't believe it!
