40. Spring is gradually returning
Putting him to death and then being born is probably his last magic weapon. Wanwan knew in her heart that each other was exhausted and forced to run out of options, and someone had to take the first step.
She had known all this information for a long time, but she didn't say it, so even if he told it, she wasn't surprised. On the contrary, I admired him for having such courage, in fact, after the princess descended, there was no way out, it seems that he planned to have a long pain rather than a short pain.
"When the prince said this, did he think about the result? Aren't you afraid that I will go to the court and ask for peace? โ
His eyes trembled, and he finally nodded slowly, "I have thought about it, with His Highness's temperament, it is very possible. But please also ask Your Highness to consider carefully, after all, marriage is not a child's play, the eldest princess descended a hundred boats to escort, from the monarch and the ministers to the people, how many people watched with their eyes. In a small way, His Highness's reputation matters. In the big place, Nanyuan is a domain, the eldest princess surrenders and leaves, and when it comes to the mouth of someone with a heart, it is a sharp weapon with insinuations. Now that everyone in Daye is in danger, His Highness should have seen a lot of homeless people on the way, right? It's just that the further south you go, the more sparse it becomes, because I'm blocking people to the west of Anqing Mansion. โ
Wanwan was surprised, "Does the prince want to take a corner of peace and take Nanyuan out of Daye?" Please don't forget, whether Nanyuan is rich or poor, it is all Daye's territory. The imperial court still allocated funds for disaster relief, but Nanyuan turned away the victims from its jurisdiction, what is the prince's plan? โ
He stared at her and slowly pulled the corner of his lips, "Where did these victims come from, does Your Highness know?" There was a famine in the north, and the seven vassal kings threatened everywhere, saying that Jinling was rich and could feed people, and every time they drove the victims who flowed into the jurisdiction to the territory of Nanyuan, even if Nanyuan was covered with iron, how many nails could they hit? Over the years, I have emptied the granary of the treasury, and His Highness is far away in Gyeonggi, so I am afraid there is no way to know. Now I am left with an empty shelf, and His Highness blames me, and I can't argue with it. It is really helpless to block people in the west of Anqing Mansion, Qianshan is the fief of the King of Chu, and I only have Huaining to settle the victims, so that they have clothes to keep out the cold, and have porridge and stomachs, which has done my best. You descend to Nanyuan, I can't make you sad, I can't let you see starvation all over the wilderness, I am also a human being, and I have to take care of the whole family, is this wrong? Nanyuan Shu is very popular, there are so many people who want to suppress me, since Your Highness is married to me, why don't you think about me and look at my difficulties? โ
Wanwan was speechless by him, he talked about love and love, and talked about the political situation. She began to reflect on whether she was too selfish and never put herself in his shoes. After all, there are eight vassal kings in Daye, and the emperor and the court only stared at him and overwhelmed him, and the reason for this is because Nanyuan is rich?
It is a sin to be rich, so it must be suppressed, and the first thing that comes to mind when the people are not living is this, what is the difference between being afraid of the military generals and the masters?
She let out a long sigh, "Actually, I already knew about Lord Shang, and I didn't want to talk about it, but since the prince is open and honest, then this knot should be unraveled." I did have a lot of criticism for the prince because of this, and I also thought that if there was no Yin Ge, I should also be willing to marry you...... It's just that then you added to the snake and made me feel like I was being persecuted, and I really felt bad......"
When he heard the sentence "I am willing to marry you without Yin Ge", his spirit was suddenly shocked. It's not his wishful thinking to say this, the attitude in Tanzhe Temple is the expression of her true intentions, although the first emperor has also hesitated, but she is indeed moved by him.
He grabbed her shoulder, "You sue me, you don't have no feelings for me, do you?" โ
Wanwan found that she had lost her words, and her face burned red. How to admit this kind of thing, it is a fool to admit it! She turned her gaze away, "Those homeless people, what is the prince going to cook?" โ
A sad look appeared on his face again, "Do my best, the court is not rich now, I have been on the fold, three months, there is no news, I think I want to deal with it myself." โ
Wanwan muttered, "How good is this...... How many people are there? โ
He said fifty thousand, "and there is a constant influx." I paid attention to it when I was in Beijing during the winter solstice last year, although there were also on the streets, but not even a percent of Nanyuan, so I only groaned/groaned when I was sick, after all, the capital was safe and sound. โ
He smiled wryly, helpless. 50,000 mouths, such a huge consumption, it is really unbearable.
"I'll give the emperor a favor when I go back, I can't go on like this anymore." The people were hungry, but he still had the heart to build a star-picking tower, and Wanwan felt the weight of the pressure when she almost broke people's necks. Thinking of his makeup, he hurriedly said, "Look at what I can help, I still have some money there, go back and let people pack it up and send it here." โ
He laughed, with a pair of rippling eyes, "Your Highness loves the people, I know, but my grandfather's family, I can't deal with what happens, but I calculate my daughter-in-law's makeup, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it." Don't worry, I can still support you. There is a surplus of grain harvested in the autumn of last year, and no matter how bad it is, the annual output of the 120 looms in the weaving house will be sold in advance, and converted into silver and grain, and it will be able to take a breath until the autumn harvest this year. โ
A penny forced the hero to death, she was confused, and her eyes were gloomy when she looked at him, "How did it become like this...... I always thought that famine everywhere was nothing more than a cut down on food and clothing. โ
He smiled, "You are raised in the deep palace, and the palace wall is so high, so naturally you don't know what it looks like outside." I tell you today, it's mine, and many people are worried, but it doesn't help. โ
She shook her head, "I can't say that, I just โกโก Yiyi, so I mistakenly thought that the people could at least live in peace." Didn't expect ......"
Unexpectedly, the center of Daye was full of flowers, and the torso was already full of holes. This fact is a bit cruel to the pampered eldest princess, but she is not allowed to understand, she will always have a dream of smooth weather under the rule of the Murong clan, thinking that the people's hearts are still the same, and any changes in him in the future will be unethical, and he is a chaotic minister and thief.
However, everything has to be done gradually, and if she knows one by one in the future, it will not be so difficult to accept emotionally. He comforted her gently, "It's a hurdle at the moment, as long as the emperor is diligent in government, comes up with countermeasures early, and gets through this period slowly." โ
Wanwan knows her brother's fault, diligent government, where can she be diligent!
"When are you going to Huaining, take me with you." She said dejectedly, "Even if it's useless to go, I can see with my own eyes that I have the bottom in my heart." โ
He thought about it for a moment, and then said yes, "But there are a lot of people, and I'm afraid of an epidemic when it's hot, so I'm not very relieved that you go." โ
She hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "I'll follow you, I won't run around." โ
Her expression was sincere, with a look of anticipation, and he thought regretfully, maybe Xiao Duo was relied on by her in the first place!
The wind was blowing, the hair on the sideburns was blowing on the face, the eyes were soft and beautiful, and the cheeks were like frost and snow. He raised his hand to wrap her hair behind her ear, and cared for her like a child. What else is there to say, so she naturally agreed: "I'm going to go after the birthday banquet, I'm worried about leaving you behind, I can't spare time to accompany you, you're not afraid of trekking, I'll take you with me." But you have to say it first, when you get there, it will be subject to my instructions, you can't make trouble with me, you can't refute my words, can you do it? โ
She said yes, "Then I'll send an order down and ask them to prepare steamed buns for me." Let's take the cart to Huaining, even if we can't help everyone, it's always okay to let the children eat first. โ
He laughed when he heard this, "You can only sit on your back, and it will take four or five days from Nanjing." Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the steamed buns are pulled there, but I am afraid that they will be rancid. Seeing that she was lost, she said, "I have set up several porridge factories, and they can still be extended." You said you wanted to go over and take a look, but I just let you take a look, and you can't do it. Those victims are pitiful, but they are unclean, and if you get close enough to let the lice get on your body, it will not be good. โ
The princess, who did not know the suffering, was surprised when she heard of lice, and probably thought that it was strange that people could also be infected with lice. In fact, there are all kinds of things in the world, and for those of them who come from brilliant backgrounds, there is no unguessable wealth, only unexpected suffering. It's not a bad thing to take her to see the rotten society.
Wanwan naturally promised him everything in order to be able to go along. This afternoon, they got along very well, and she also saw a person who was completely different from her second brother and the factory minister, worried about the country and the people, and even exhausted.
The brass ring came to take her back, and her heart was more peaceful than ever. I was always worried that he was antipathy, and the second brother couldn't suppress her, so she married him again, and she was in a dilemma when the time came. Now it seems that it is too much to worry about, the first thing a person who plots the world needs to do is to recuperate, after all, rebellion requires a cost, and he has to spend a lot of money for the victims, which of those old and weak women and children can put on a battle for him, and can fight for him?
Tonghuan hadn't seen her so calm and relaxed for a long time, thinking that she had a good afternoon this afternoon, he looked at her face and asked her, "Has His Royal Highness changed his opinion of Prince Yuwen?" โ
She pursed her lips and smiled, "This man has calculations, but he is not heinous. He admitted the incident in the sound pavilion, I thought he would keep it hidden, but now I don't have it, since people admit their mistakes, I hold on to it, it seems that I can't say it. โ
This means that it is clear, and it has begun to slowly accept him. The man's family is really a good way to coax people.
Tonghuan nodded, "That's fine, I often tell His Highness, I will eventually get married, and I will be a good family, and I will be too careful about my life, and the more I go, the worse it will be." โ
She entered the Longen Building, Xiao You fetched water to wash her hands, she glanced at her, "I told you to find uncle, where did you hide to be used?" โ
Xiao You grinned: "The conscience of heaven and earth, if I poke it in my eye sockets, it will be strange if the prince doesn't marinate me!" I'll see you two put the harrier, and the cat will sit on the side for a while. The prince is so close to you, and you are so ......" she opened her arms around her, "Hold you!" โ
Wanwan blushed and stomped her feet, "If you talk about it again, which eye saw it!" โ
"I saw it with both eyes, I was not mistaken, the horn dog of the Chengqian Palace was gone, and in the dark night, I didn't pick up the lantern and found it. You said that I can see these two eyes half a mile away, you ...... Hey! โ
Tonghuan smiled and watched them make trouble, the eldest princess has not been happy since she surrendered, and now she is so happy, even if the king of Nanyuan is a little horizontal, they feel that it is worth it to be slaves.
After she finished washing, he invited her to the south window, served her a cup of almond tea, and said with a copper ring: "Yu Chengfeng inquired about the news in Beijing, it is said that Bu Niangniang is crazy, and the Queen Mother is in charge and locks her up in the corner tower." โ
She was stunned for a moment, "There are so many places in the palace, is there not even a courtyard for her?" A queen was imprisoned in a corner tower, which dynasty and which generation had such a thing! The queen mother didn't think about it, and the emperor did the same, so he took pity on Yinlou. โ
Xiao You sighed when he heard this, "If you want to, you can still say two words, now that you are so far away, everyone should ask for more blessings." โ
She really can't do it, don't say that in Nanjing, even in the capital, no one may want to listen to her. sighed for a while, and didn't think about it, "I heard that the displaced people in Anqing Mansion are in trouble, and the prince is going to go there after a thousand years, and I will go with it." At that time, take a look at the local situation, and tell the emperor a few words for her, I hope that the second brother can look at the old love and righteousness, even if she really doesn't succeed, find a place, allocate two people, and take care of her. โ
The queen's matter is still second, and when they heard that she was going to Anqing Mansion, they were taken aback.
"You're a golden branch and jade leaf, what are you doing in that pickled place?" Xiao You said, "You haven't seen the appearance of the victims, they are in tatters, with yellow hair, like flowers on the street, and when you see someone dressed neatly, you will pounce on you and howl, 'Uncle, you are rich, give up some food, I am dying of hunger'...... If you don't give it, he will dare to rob it, and a large group of people will come up from all directions, pouting their arms and legs, regardless of it, the law will not blame the public, do you know? โ
Wan Wanzhi frowned, "Have you seen the victims?" โ
Xiao You hummed, "I've seen it, I was before I entered the palace." Later, a family took me in, and we learned that Entu reported that the palace maid was selected, so I entered the palace for their daughter. It's the same everywhere, and if you have food, you can do it. โ
Xiao You's pitiful life experience is rarely mentioned, and Wanwan has heard it for the first time, so she has strengthened her belief to take a look, not to see the Western scenery, but to verify whether what Yu Wenliang said is the truth.
The next day, the palace was celebrated, and Wanwan was carried into the Yin'an Hall from Longen Tower.
The rules of the Qi people are nothing more than kowtowing, first the birthday star kowtows to the family temple, and then the slave kowtows to the master. The seven officials in front of the prime minister, Yuwen's subordinates are very good. The Qi people have a kind of house slave called Baoyi, which has been passed down from generation to generation, Lao Tzu is the slave of the old master, and the son is the slave of the young master. The status of this kind of house slave is not the same as that of the general one, and it belongs to the most intimate group of the master, as long as the master gives an order, he will die in front of him immediately, and he will never blink an eye, so he is particularly important, and his career is absolutely open.
Kowtow, endless kowtow, coming and going, Wanwan and him sat on it, just like two Bodhisattvas. The armpits were the Qi eunuchs with tasseled hats, official boots, and long robes and gauze coats, and she and he were wearing the most solemn auspicious clothes, wrapped in three layers inside and three outside, and they were dizzy in heat.
The people who came in asked for Shuang'an, and then knelt down with a plop, and said in a loud voice: "Kowtow to the master, the master's grandmother." "A long list of birthday wishes, racking their brains, all of them are not the same. In the understanding of the Qi people, the master and the master and the grandmother are the official titles of the master and servant to meet, no matter what the background of the grandmother is, and they are married to their "master", that is "grandma". Of course, this grandmother is by no means the same as the grandmother who calls her mother, and she should be the hostess here, just like Fujin is the official language of the scene, and the master's grandmother is a homely, hot nickname.
At the master's birthday banquet, the slaves do not treat themselves as outsiders, which is different from the Han or Xianbei people. Therefore, the Qi people are more closely united, and it also makes Wanwan see clearly what an iron-blooded group this is, and it will really lead the whole body.
She turned her head to look at him, and he sat beside her, looking solemn. Fine sweat condensed under the crown of the wings, meandering and sliding into the snow-white collar. He swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple moved clearly, and Wanwan blushed inexplicably.
He felt guilty for causing her to be heated, and smiled apologetically at her, and Wanwan arched his eyebrows at the corners of his mouth, which was considered to be a response. Soon after, she found that she was squirming under her big sleeves, and a hand reached over and held her through the inlay, and her heart jumped, and she wanted to get rid of it but was afraid that people would find out, so she had to let him lead her.
Lan Zhou and Lan Ting's brothers came forward and kowtowed a thousand times in a down-to-earth manner, wishing Ama and Erne to have today every year, and every year to have today. The woman in the clan smiled: "The two brothers are really sensible, look at this face and bearing, it looks like Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was born." โ
Wanwan smiled a little embarrassed, she was eight years older than Lan Zhou, nine years older than Lan Ting, and I don't know what kind of eyes those wives have, she can see that these two children are like her own.
But Lan Zhou was extremely smart, he got up and spontaneously stood beside her, bowed slightly and said, "In my son's heart, Ene is my son's own mother." In the future, when the son becomes an adult, he will be filial to his son, and when he has a little brother, the son will be the pioneer of the younger brother. The son's words are not adulterated, please bear witness to the elders here. I also ask Enere to treat his son as his own, if there is a mistake, you can teach your son, and your son will be diligent, and he will be a true man who stands up to the sky and the earth and is worthy of his heart in the future. โ
