Chapter Seventy-Three: Statecraft
Early the next morning, Ye Weixi dug her out of the bed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info was really tired and sleepy, in vain when she came into contact with the cold air, Su Zi trembled and drilled into her warm arms.
In the quiet, she slowly tidied up Su Zi, hugged her and fed her breakfast, and Su Zi's eyes were reluctant to open during the whole process.
"Zi'er, are you really so tired?"
The mattress had faded to the knees again, and the slender hands gently parted the thighs.
Rao's lightest touch still made the delicate place tingle slightly, she closed her eyes and frowned, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Xi, don't touch it, it hurts~~"
Ye Weixi's bewildered voice sounded in his ears: "Why is it so red and swollen?
Su Zi's mouth pouted, buried her side face in her arms, and said in an urn voice: "I'm sleepy, let me sleep, I want to sleep..."
"Sleep. The people around her didn't move, and after a while, seeing that she was asleep, Ye Weixi took a big velvet blanket and wrapped her, and then whispered to call people in.
"Your Highness, everything is in order, and you can leave at any time. The sound of squirming footsteps sounded, and Cheng Ziyi said in a low voice, waking up the person in his dream with fear.
"Lord Xi, I heard Xiaorou say that you didn't turn off the lights until the hour last night?" A deep middle-aged female voice came, it was Aofu's sovereign mother, Aunt Luo. She stepped into the room with Shurou. After years of privileged life, Aunt Luo looks younger than she actually is, and her demeanor is graceful and elegant.
Facing the elder gentleman, Ye Weixi also expressed her respect, and hummed softly while suppressing the noise. After making Cheng Ziyi retreat, he asked softly: "Lone has treated her, why does the redness and swelling not fade?"
"The gentleman is no better than a civilian girl, and the deep standard can only be used once, at most twice. Aunt Luo sighed and said earnestly: "Your Excellency is the emperor, and it is common to need a lot, as long as you know the words 'enough to stop', how do you not know how to feel sorry for the monarch... When the evening arrives, how can the prince stand it? "This kind of thing, I'm afraid it's not useful if it's a magic treatment...
Aunt Luo nagged again: "The glands are tender, how can you do whatever you want... Xiaozi called me Aunt Luo, the adult is her sweetheart, Aunt Luo said a few more words, you are still young, and you will have many good days in the future. If Lord Xi really loves her, there is a lot of moderation in this matter, and if she acts arbitrarily and hurts her body, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"
After being quiet for a while, Ye Weixi said in a deep voice with a little shame: "The mother went early, and the lonely knowledge is limited... It's lonely, and we must pay attention to it in the future. ”
The matter of the young husband and wife, Aunt Luo is not good to say anything more. Shurou pulled her over, and she was really worried about Su Zi. Seeing that it shouldn't be a big deal now, I thought that although the lights were turned off late, maybe it would take a little longer, and it would only be two or three times, right? Fortunately, Su Zi was not as delicate as an ordinary monarch...
Fortunately, Aunt Luo doesn't know the truth...
Su Zi was hugged by Ye Weixi in his sleep, and the large team entered the Yinling Mountain Range.
The mountains were as cold as ever, and the fog was so heavy that there was no end in sight.
When they first hit the road, tens of thousands of rangers followed their herds of beasts, galloping through the endless mountains and jungles.
After many days of walking like this, the crowd of people walking on foot gradually fell and was almost invisible. The foot of the sitting beast was extremely fast, almost comparable to the speed of running at full speed, and the earth-shattering footsteps kicked up a cloud of dust and smoke in the mountains and forests.
Su Zi has been sitting on the back of the fish, eating, sleeping and sleeping in Ye Weixi's arms. Although this big bird looks like a chicken, it really soars in the sky and flies very smoothly. Around them, there were more than a dozen others flying nearby, and almost all of them were noble family members, except for Ye Weixi's subordinates. The back of the eagle is spacious, the saddle is also particularly wide, and the top of the head is a simple light man, barely enough to sit four or five people.
In addition to their 100 or so people, there are many other big families, many of whom are masters.
Bored for a long time, Su Zi pulled Ye Weixi to transfer to the earth dragon.
The earth dragon has a saddle that rises from the back, and people sit on it on its back. Su Zi faced Ye Weixi head-on, sat on her legs, wrapped around her waist, curled up between the earth dragon and her arms, swaying left and right in the earth dragon's zigzag cable run in the forest, fortunately there was a human meat cushion, but it didn't feel bumpy.
During the shaking, Su Zi's eyelids fought up and down, and she was about to fall asleep.
"Zi'er, what did you think in your heart when you passed by this mountain range last time?" Looking at the rolling mountains like Yue, Ye Weixi suddenly asked out loud.
Didn't you already interrogate her clearly? Su Zi half-opened one eye, looked at her, and closed it sleepily.
Seeing that she ignored her and was about to fall asleep, Ye Weixi sighed softly.
After a long time, he asked again: "Hiding in Tibet, nervous, and confused...... In this strange world, has Zi'er ever been lonely?"
Her voice came slowly, gently.
When she said this, she was concerned about her inner feelings.
Su Zi slowly opened her eyes and looked at her quietly.
For several days, although they have been sleeping and eating together, they are inseparable, but there is very little inner communication.
Ye Weixi's whole person is caged in a dark cloak, and half of her pretty face is exposed under the brim of the hat, and the soft curves are like a perfect painting.
The word loneliness is very wonderful, and most of the people who say it are lonely themselves. Su Zi felt a little sour in her heart.
Looking at her carefully, her eyelashes fluttered a few times, her ink eyes were half-closed, and Su Zi said in a low voice: "Lonely, scared, and helpless, but I also want to walk around, see the world, and see for a long time." ”
Hearing this, she was silent for a while, and Ye Weixi sighed again, "Sure enough, I don't care to stay in the back garden, and my heart is free." ”
Her answer was already expected by her. There are some contradictions that cannot be resolved, and only one side is subservient to the other.
There was silence for a long time, and neither of them spoke.
Ye Weixi suddenly smiled lowly, and asked refreshedly: "So, Zi'er has been traveling for half a year, can you gain anything?"
Strange that she suddenly swept away the dullness, Su Zi raised her little face, looked at the smile on the corner of her lips, and involuntarily smiled with her. She nodded and said briskly: "Xi, I used to think that this world is a noble world, whether it is a commoner or a noble, it seems that they are all accessories, oppressed and enslaved. Civilians, in particular, live at the lowest level and cannot afford even a good piece of clothing. ”
"The noble and the frail are weak, the common people are stupid and dull, and the world is the same, this is the truth that has existed since the beginning of the world. Ye Weixi disagreed.
Su Zi was a little angry, his voice was mentioned, and he argued crisply: "My previous world was full of civilians, and everyone's life was much better than here! Everyone has their own strengths, not just by force. ”
Her voice was a little loud, and she was also riding an earth dragon, and all the lords who were guarding them nearby took aim at her. However, their eyes disagreed with Su Zi's words.
This is a world in which a noble ruler rules everything, and the strongest is the hegemon! Even among the nobles, do they not obey the strong? The common people are forced to live, only seeking food and clothing, and they are wild and ignorant, so how can they have their strengths? Seeing a lot of civilians begging to survive like pigs and dogs, the nobles looked down on civilians from the bottom of their hearts, Su Zi's words, in addition to not believing, were laughing.
Su Zi heard the sound of laughter coming from all around. Mixed with the earth-shattering footsteps of the earth dragon, it was still clear and piercing.
"Zi'er is kind-hearted, but civilians are naturally stupid, short-sighted, and overwhelmed. The great sage Lu Sheng Zeng Yun, Yu Min, suppressed the law harshly, made him hungry, and obeyed. Silver eyes smiled, and it was true that he analyzed the reason for it to her.
What bullshit Daxian!
Taking out the momentum of participating in the city-level debate competition, Su Zi said excitedly: "Commoners are not stupid, they just haven't read books and haven't received a good education! In our place, there is a nine-year compulsory education, everyone can write and count, compose poems and sing, and all inventions and creations are commoners! Even in this world, what kind of food and clothing do not depend on the common people? There is the so-called drinking water and thinking of the source, and every drop is also a favor, and it is not the great virtue and power that are useful people. Excessive taxation and strict laws will only force the people to rebel! The people's lack of civilization is forced by the people's livelihood. If everyone has food and clothing, is knowledgeable, and has a skill, where will the party and the people come from?"
All the lords, looking at each other, were all pondering. Su Zi's words are not mentioned by no one, but they have never been universally accepted by the world. In the eyes of the nobles, if the common people have knowledge, ideas, and even extra money and time, will it be more difficult to control? Just like a group of educated and intelligent monkeys who have opened an iron cage by themselves, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world?
Su Zi didn't care what they thought, and stared straight at Ye Weixi. When I first saw her, she said the same thing, and she didn't listen to her then, but what about today?
Ye Weixi was also looking at her.
She stared at Su Zi quietly, her white and tender little face shining, desperately seeking her affirmation. tightened his small body into his arms, and he couldn't take his eyes off the night when he was half-ringing.
After a long time, Su Zi frowned lightly, she smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Well, what Zi'er said is true." After a pause, he added, "There is some truth." ”
His expression darkened, but he didn't approve of this very much? From arrogance to perfunctory, is it progress?
In the past, Su Zi would definitely not fight. Now, Xi has a different weight in her heart. As an emperor, what you think, what you say and do, that directly affects the whole world. Su Zi felt that as her nobleman, she also had a heavy burden on her shoulders, and she was determined to change her outrageous idea.
The nobles despised the commoners, but they controlled the commoners, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
So, Su Zi hugged her tightly, blowing nonsense, blowing the legal system and people's livelihood in modern society to the sky.
In the Moon Dynasty, there were also rich merchants and good people, just like in the Song Dynasty, these good people, life is still nourishing. They can also go in and out of the school, they can take the test for fame and fame, and the big merchants can also have a group of wives and concubines. However, no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to reach the grandeur and nobility of the imperial family, the grandeur and nobility of the Gaomen Mansion, the arrogance that has been precipitated from the bones for tens of millions of years, and the calmness that controls the authority of the world. Just as they will always be just commoners, they will not be nobles.
Su Zi's words are to put commoners and nobles on the same level to talk, regardless of each other, born equal.
In this world, agriculture is not thriving, she talked about the irrigation system, the slopes and highlands can also be farmed, the grasslands should be mainly grazing, the desert should be planted with trees, the people should also build schools, and knowledge should relieve poverty. She even stood in the perspective of the governance of a country, and brought out various policies for governing the country summarized by the ancients. When it comes to the centralization of imperial power, rather than the fact that the major families in each city are in their own way, loose and messy, the power of the big families has to be slowly weakened. Because of the application of people, there are capable people among the commoners, and they still enter the court as ministers, and let the nobles serve him, of course, in the end, they serve the imperial power.
Wei concluded: "Light taxation, emphasis on people's livelihood, encourage cultivation and land reclamation, set up academies, the people are rich and know the shame, the legal system and etiquette are equally important, and the people are rich and the country is strong." ”
It is too difficult to fundamentally change the status of civilians, at least, to make their lives better. Only by centralizing the imperial power can the reforms be carried out smoothly and the country will not be in turmoil.
No one interrupted her as she spoke in a crisp and delicate noise. Regardless of what she said, just listening to Feng Jun was a great pleasure, and it was really comforting. In the future, you can take it out and brag about it.
However, as her words were released, the faces of the lords, who had been infatuated before, gradually turned wrong.
The petite and lovely Xiao Fengjun actually had such a shocking idea in his heart. These lords, although they are subordinates of Ye Weixi, are also the lords of one party. Everyone frowned and pondered, secretly thinking: talking about the people's livelihood, it is meaningless to be good or bad; all living beings are equal, this is the saying of Buddhism, thousands of years ago, Buddhism was widely spread in the Moon Dynasty, and there are many people who believe in it, and Xiao Fengjun is kind-hearted, which is understandable;
In this wild and backward world, most of the people barter, even silver money is rarely used. The roads are tortuous and difficult, the commercial banks are inconvenient, the information is blocked, the so-called country, the city and the state are the norm, and the education of the people is not overnight. As everyone knows, her thoughts are full of naivety, and she is just an ideal after all.
I don't know how much Ye Weixi listened?
There was a strange silence at the front of the group, and Ye Weixi put her chin on the top of her head, thinking to herself.
Su Ziwo was in her arms, looking at her jade-like slender neck, waiting a little uneasily.
In this dreary quiet, Shurou, who sat leisurely in front of Aofu, said in a helpful voice: "I think Ah Zi is right, not only civilians, but also if the monarch has great talents, he can also be an official!" Shurou squeezed her eyes back: "Yes, big sister." ”
"Whether the monarch has an official position or not, the nobleman will obey her and serve her. Offie replied with a blank look.
“…… That's right, too. Shurou nodded lightly.
The crowd burst into laughter.
After the juggling of the book, the atmosphere is relaxed. Ye Weixi raised her face, under the cover of the cloak, kissed her little mouth gently, and smiled lightly: "Zi'er's good policy of governing the country has benefited a lot. ”
Ye Weixi agrees with her?!
Su Zi's eyes suddenly lit up, she was a little excited, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise. Happy and happy, the ear piercing was pounced on by a heater: "However, when it comes to national policies in the future, you can't talk lightly in front of people, and you will talk to me again when you go back to the house." ”
Su Zi was stunned.
When she went back to the house, she was carried to the bed, and there was still time to say it? Even if there were, what could not be said about it?
"Why?"
"Feng Jun's words may change the world. This is a prophecy from ancient times, "Your words and deeds have been noticed by many people, and I do not want any rumors against you to spread." ”
She didn't think so much, would these people around her spread her words?
Seeing Su Zi's face on her face, Ye Weixi stroked the fragrant and soft person in her arms, and said softly: "Zi'er advises, it is very good, I will think carefully." ”
The Fengjun who comes out once in a thousand years will bring this world to another round of prosperity. Her vision, which is difficult at this time, may be the direction in which history will go in the future.
In the evening, the golden sunset spreads between the heaven and the earth, and the two rounds of red suns are round and bright, dazzling.
People set up camp and bury pots to cook.
After a boring day, when Ye Weixi carried her down to the earth, Su Zi dragged Shurou and hurriedly found a place to relieve her.
The place where they camped was on the dirt slope of a wasteland, and two hundred paces behind the dirt slope, a small stream flowed.
Five hundred steps further north is the forest forest.
Behind Su Zi, Cheng Ziyi and the others calmly followed, and near the woods, they selected a soft lawn, surrounded the temporary toilet with white satin, and then retreated and waited.
After relieving himself, he walked out with a smile with Shurou, and Su Zi saw that on the grass in the north, near the woods, a thick layer of satin was spread. The satin cloth has a few tapos of wine and food. Ye Weixi was kneeling there, drinking wine with the elders of the major families. Zhu Rui and other subordinates guarded the periphery.
In the sun, her long hair reached the ground, dragging at her side, and her white and beautiful face, like the face of a legendary angel, was gorgeous and lonely.
She looked at it, her ink eyes rolled, and she took Shurou and turned around and walked towards the edge of the woods.
The woods were full of shouting and screaming, and some nobles were hunting small animals in them.
They sat down in the green grass at the edge of the forest.
Biting her ears, Su Zi inquired about Qianxuan's news. Shu glanced at her softly, pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.
With a sigh, he casually pulled over a grass root, and wrapped it around his fingers, Su Zi asked casually, "Shurou, how much do you know about Haoyan?"
"Lord Yan, she is a citizen of the sea. When Shurou said this, her tone was a little sarcastic and disdainful, and her beautiful face was also a little proud.
He had never seen her look like this, and Su Zi was surprised, "What is the people of the sea?"
"It's a mixture of the Kraken and the noble, a lowly race, especially in the land of the Nanban and the South China Sea, and playthings. Shurou took her little hand and helped her knot the grassroots, "Haoyan is the only emperor of the sea since the beginning, born in a humble and brutal wayward. ”
Rao is that she hates Haoyan, and when she heard Shurou say this, Su Zi was still a little uncomfortable.
"Ah Zi, don't be afraid, Haoyan won't have a chance to hurt you again. ”
Su Zi turned her head and looked at Shurou in confusion, with a gentle smile on her face, a pair of bright eyes printed with the green grass and her, and said comfortably: "The adults will protect you." ”
Su Zi lowered her eyes and looked to the side, always feeling that Shurou was a little strange today.
Retracted her hand, and the grass roots in her fingers were tied into a unique pattern by her.
Glancing at her again, the rippling eyes of the autumn water stared at her, with an affectionate appearance, Su Zi thought in horror, it is indeed very strange!
At this moment, there was a sudden noise and noise in the woods, and a group of nobles rushed in their direction.
