Lying in the broken cup residue, looking at the back of Wu Mingyuan protecting Yiqiao leaving, He Donghui wondered that he didn't hate, but felt a sense of relief, feeling that Wu Mingyuan's slap had achieved him. Pinshu.com
He Donghui had an epiphany in an instant, it turned out that he was stupid, he tried his best for such a man, who did he let watch the play?
He hasn't been the emperor yet, he is so affectionate to himself, he will be the emperor one day, will she still have a way to live?
He Donghui didn't make any noise, moved to the backyard quietly, gave the main house to Yiqiao, and took a lonely lamp in the name of a princess.
The He family was dissatisfied with her cold reception, but Wu Mingyuan explained that she was a little depressed after losing her child, and moved to the back just to let her recuperate, and when Yiqiao gave birth to a child, it was still hers, and the queen would also be her.
In order to consolidate the position of the He family, the He family wanted to marry the youngest daughter, the sister of He Donghui, who was just thirteen years old this year, to Wu Mingyuan as a concubine. He Donghui went home in person after hearing about it, she found her father, closed the door and talked with Father He for a long time, and in the end no one knew why Father He gave up this idea and never mentioned the matter of giving his little daughter to Wu Mingyuan as a concubine.
The rare calm of the Prince's Mansion, just like the calm in the palace, seems to have entered hibernation since those princes went to their fiefdoms, and the Wu clan's court has entered hibernation, so quiet that it makes people feel lifeless. The princes who watched from a distance were all showing their own style and governing the fief vigorously......
Chu Yu, who went to the south of the Yangtze River, is said to have matured a lot, although there are celebrities who keep proposing marriage, Chu Yu only married a woman designated by Queen He as a concubine, and the other concubines resolutely refused. Every day when I came back from official business, I followed the teacher to learn literature, and in my spare time, I and a few literary friends traveled all over the mountains to find the way, and it seemed that the more I lived, the more indifferent I became.
According to someone who has read the letter he sent back to Emperor Wu Er, he seems to be tired of his identity as a prince, and asked Emperor Wu to choose another prince to govern Jiangnan, and the day of handover is the day he travels far away.
This book made Empress He furious, and threw it to Wu Mingyuan, asking him to take care of this imperial brother, if a good prince doesn't do it, do you still want to be a beggar!
In Huainan's Wu Mingzheng, waves of good news spread to the court, this gentle and quiet prince in the capital, as soon as he arrived in Huainan, he made a lot of great contributions. Several local civil unrest were quelled, and a lot of land near Huainan that had been taken away by the Emperor Sun State was also recovered. Paved roads and bridges in Huainan, took advantage of transportation, and started trade with neighboring countries, and it was said that the people of Huainan were extremely wealthy for a while. Hearing this, many officials in the DPRK and China were envious, and they all privately established relations with the second prince, hoping to return to their hometowns or settle in Huainan after leaving office.
Huainan is rich, but Wu Mingyuan can't sit still the most, he not only has a headache with Wu Mingzheng, but also has a headache with Mu Xiaoluo, who is far away in Shu.
The matter of the change of Shu was transmitted back to the court as soon as possible, and Empress He gritted her teeth and scolded Wu Mingyuan: "Cutting grass and not rooting is a disaster after all......! I should have thought that woman wasn't a good person!"
Wu Mingyuan was silent about this, compared to Mu Xiaoluo's self-establishment as the king of Shu and the elevation of the four princes, he was more interested in the news that came later, Mu Xiaoluo's leg was healed, and she was able to stand up.
It's a thrill that she has nothing to lose in this battle between two people, and he loses his fingers...... It's not good that she can't stand up, but as soon as she heard that she was all right, and she flew with Chu Qingfang, Wu Mingyuan's heart fell empty and couldn't find the edge......
Hate is gritting teeth and ...... unforgettable For a moment, this hatred made him want to ignore anything, lead people to Shudi, catch the pair of adulterers, whip them fiercely, and then in front of Chu Qingfang, he wreaked havoc on Mu Xiaoluo......
When I have insomnia, all I think about is how to torture them, and only in this way can I calm the heart in my heart that is gnawed away by the thought of their happiness......
Such a fairy couple should be him and Mu Xiaoluo! He Donghui was dissatisfied with his increasingly empty heart, and it didn't happen that the woman who was blessed by him every night did not have such charm......
The woman who was pulled out of her nails and didn't say a word, the woman who stood in the snow at the Temple of Heaven, the girl who helped him pull the startled horse in a crisis gradually became his dream, he often woke up in the middle of the night, frantically shook the women around him, and shouted at people: "Call me Brother Yuan, call me Brother Yuan......"
Often these women are panicked by such inexplicable screams in exchange for a hard slap: "You're not Xiaoluo...... Xiao Luo's brother Yuan is better than you!"
Brother Yuan...... Brother Yuan...... Wu Mingyuan stood in front of the door of Mu Mansion one day and shed tears, the Mu Mansion that had changed people was no longer the Mu Mansion he was familiar with, and none of the people who came in and out of it were his Xiaoluo!
The woman was thousands of miles away, a woman he was a stranger to him, and he had lost her!
He touched the peeled wall, looked up at the trees that had grown many, many higher than the wall, and seemed to see a girl, standing on the branch and shouting at him: "Brother Yuan, you catch me......"
The bits and pieces that he had spent with her became clearer and clearer as she left, and some of them he thought he had forgotten, only to find that they had been in the depths of his memory when he remembered them, and had become as natural as his blood, unthinking, and unforgettable......
He slowly understood his feelings...... It turns out that I don't love her, but I'm too used to her being around, and I'm used to her being like my own hands and feet, and I won't lose it if I don't pay attention to her, and I have the ability to heal myself if I hurt it......
It wasn't until he cut them off with his own hands that he realized that they would never return to his body...... He couldn't get used to the loss, and he couldn't accept it......
The attraction of the Ninety-Five Venerable is an attraction of power, which means that he can regain her power, he is no longer satisfied with waiting, what jade seal is not an obstacle to prevent him from ascending to the throne in his eyes, and Empress He's consideration of the overall situation is despised by him as worthless......
He has been listening to her and playing the role of a good prince for many years, and he has lost Mu Xiaoluo for this, he can no longer witness Wu Mingzheng's growth and do nothing!
The kindness of the woman, he scolded Queen He's hesitation, this throne was originally his, even if his hands were stained with blood and he sat on it, who could say no!
Wu Mingyuan finally set out to prepare for his throne to force the palace......
Kill two birds with one stone
Facts have proved that without the county government and the rule of the anarchy, it is impossible to become bigger and stronger, or even survive, by relying only on personal strength!
Mu Xiaoluo hadn't gone to trouble the Gong family yet, the Gong family got into trouble themselves, and seeing that the trouble was getting bigger and bigger, it had reached the point where he couldn't solve it, and the old man Gong finally discovered the usefulness of the county government......
Here's the thing, although it is said that there are five major families in Jincheng that each dominate one side and occupy most of the commercial agriculture. But this era is not peaceful after all, and the bandits, displaced people, and soldiers rushing over to loot the border are enough for them to be annoyed.
In the past, the imperial court had a team in Jincheng County, although the number was not large, it was still a little useful to encounter such a thing, since several major families consciously grew and no longer paid taxes, this team lost its support and slowly fell apart, and when Mu Xiaoluo came to Jincheng, the county government ran to a few people.
Each of these major families has raised a self-defense force of several hundred people to ensure production and their own homes, and in case of difficulties, several families can also organize one or two thousand people, and according to their algorithm, it is enough to resist for a while.
In the past two years, this kind of cooperation has resisted more than a dozen intrusions of varying degrees, but such a spontaneous non-governmental organization has many drawbacks.
First of all, because such guards are formed by themselves, when they encounter difficulties, they often take care of their own master's family first. Raising such a large group of people, food and shelter are not trivial, plus there are casualties, bereavement and other expenses are another expense.
It's okay on weekdays, it's all for their own efforts, and no one can complain about the casualties and their own money. However, in the case of joint resistance to the enemy, the casualties of this silver are a matter, although the five major families have taken out a certain amount of silver for such expenses, but even so, it has problems. If my man is wounded, how much money will be given?
As soon as there are many similar problems, people's inferiority will come out, and people are selfish and have to plan for their own interests. You can eat a loss once, but you will complain if you lose more than twice. Outsiders look at their appearance, they are united with the outside world, but the contradictions between the five major families are only clear to themselves.
The Gong family made more money and had more industries, so there were more and more members of the Self-Defense Forces, and the more people there were, the more contradictions there were. Patriarch Gong is a human being, not a god, no matter how capable he is, there are places that he can't take care of. Such a large collective, if it is not handled properly, if you are lucky, you may be fine, and if you are unlucky, you will leave a bane.
The origin of the disaster of the Gong patriarch's family came from within. There are a few bandits near Jincheng, and these people don't bother the common people, so they pick up the property of these big families to loot. The Gong patriarch's family has a well salt Zhuangzi more than ten miles away from the city, and there are several mountains nearby that are also theirs, planting many mulberry trees and raising many pigs.
Once he was targeted by a group of rogues, and when these rogues came to rob him, they were resisted by the Self-Defense Forces guarding the well salt. During the scramble, the younger brother of Lu Zhong, the captain of the Jingyan Self-Defense Force, was cut off by the leader of the Liukou, and Lu Zhong was also seriously injured in order to save his younger brother. This Luzhong is also a man, although he was seriously injured, he still led people to resist desperately, until the rescuers arrived, and the property of the Gong family was saved without major losses.
It stands to reason that the two brothers in Luzhong have made great contributions, and the Gong family should give a rich reward no matter what they say, but Gong Zhenghai's younger brother ...... Gong Zhenglin, who was in charge of this matter, did not handle this matter well, he symbolically gave the Lu brothers two sums of silver, and sent the two away.
The Lu family brothers are the victims of the disaster who wandered to Shu after the big flood in their hometown, and the two of them used brute force to protect the Gong family, and they have always been conscientious, but they didn't expect that they would work hard in exchange for the gratitude of the main family, but a few taels of silver were sent away.
Lu Zhong looked at the silver in his hand that was not enough to treat his brother's legs, and he was a little hard to believe, so he argued with reason and wanted to ask for more silver for his younger brother's legs, but he didn't expect Gong Zhenglin not only not to give it, but also said that he relied on his merits to ask for a sky-high price, so that the two brothers were driven away.
Luzhong is quite simple, so he didn't embarrass the Gong family, but after the silver was used up, his younger brother's legs did not improve, but suppurated and had a fever...... Seeing that his younger brother's life was in danger, Lu Zhong came back to the Gong family to borrow money, and ran into Gong Zhenglin. Gong Zhenglin not only didn't borrow it, but also let people beat Lu Zhong, saying that if Lu Zhong came to make trouble again, there would be no place for his two brothers in Jincheng.
When Lu Zhong was desperate, he met a group of bandits, and the boss of the family saw that he was strong, so he moved his heart to love talent, and gave him fifty taels of silver with a wave of his hand, and Lu Zhong joined the gang with a ruthless heart......
The younger brother was saved, his leg was also ruined, and the feud between the two and the Gong family was also formed, and Lu Zhong led people to rob the Gong family's property, and the feud became bigger and bigger in the process. This time, he actually went to Luzhong to snatch Gong Zhenghai's son's bride, saying that he wanted to be a wife for his younger brother......
Gong Zhenghai's son Gong Lingqiang liked the bride very much, and vowed to snatch the bride back. They organized their own guards to search the mountains, but Lu Zhong was very cunning, and after searching several times, they did not find them, but let their people fall into an ambush, and dozens of people were injured in a few days.
Seeing that there would be no result at all if this continued, but instead made the bride fall deeper and deeper in the thief's den, Gong Zhenghai was also anxious, and hurriedly found the patriarchs of other families and asked Yang Xi to lend someone to search the mountain for him.
The first one who didn't borrow it was the honest Yan Junlang, he had heard about Luzhong's affairs to some extent, and he was very sympathetic to Luzhong in his heart, thinking that the Gong family was rich and unkind, and deserved to have this difficulty. Besides, his people can't borrow it, recently a kind of mine has been dug up in the mountains, which has never been seen before, and he is still looking for someone to mine it, how can there be idlers to lend it to the Gong family.
Yang Xi can't borrow it, his family is making wine, so many fields in the spring ploughing family need manpower, the number of displaced people has increased recently, the village is not peaceful, he is too busy to take care of himself, so can he lend someone to the Gong family!
Xie Weihong and Luo Linhai's distress is also similar to Yang Xi's, in the past, they could hire some disaster victims to do short-term work when they were busy farming, but after Mu Xiaoluo came this year, these disaster victims seemed to have eyes, and they all went to help Mu Xiaoluo.
Xie Weihong knew the reason, and after the victims who came to Shu with Mu Xiaoluo settled down, they spread such a good thing, and the victims spread it to each other, and they all knew that the princess of Jincheng was a good person, and they naturally rushed to find Mu Xiaoluo when they came to Shu.
The two Zhao Dong brothers have now become Mu Xiaoluo's spokespersons, in charge of the disaster victims, and he is responsible for arranging work and living for those who come, in Mu Xiaoluo's words, as long as the people who go to Shu are not lazy, she is willing to take them in. There are so many fields in Shudi, and I am afraid that I can't support hard-working people!
Gong Zhenghai couldn't borrow someone, so he was ruthless, raised the bounty for his family's guards, and said that whether people can be saved is another matter, as long as someone can kill Lu Zhong, there will be a heavy reward. He wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and take down Luzhong at one time, so as not to be blackmailed again in the future.
This stimulated those guards to work hard, but it also stimulated Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong felt that the Gong family was unkind, asked for money and no people, Gong Zhenghai didn't care about the bride's life or death, he only wanted his own life. Lu Zhong was annoyed, so he simply led someone to tie up Gong Lingqiang and asked Gong Zhenghai to ransom people with silver.
