Chapter XXVIII
The Taishi, the head of the Three Princes, is an old official who has been in office since the time of King Jiao of the previous generation, and his knowledge and experience can match the years he has spent, but, as many people know, he is a little too rigid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning, when Sakura came to Dai Guo, although many people slandered this little-known king, only this Taishi felt obvious, and even in many cases, he directly pointed out Sakura's "misbehavior", which was not very face-saving for Sakura.
And this time, it looks the same, the old lady named Wanggu broke into here directly, and then said to Sakura with anger and puzzlement on his face, looking very rude, and of course this will attract Sakura's displeasure.
"Taishi, you trespassed my dormitory without being informed."
A cold voice came out of Sakura's mouth, and at the same time, Sakura had already stood up straight, squinted her eyes slightly, and stared at the annoying old man in front of her with some coldness, waiting for Wangyu's response.
"The crime of trespassing, wait for the Lord to fall, but, now the old minister hopes that the Lord can change his mind and take back his life, this initial pardon is definitely not a good policy, this is related to the rise and fall of my Dai country, please think twice!"
The voice is old but powerful, mixed with a sense of fortitude, it can be seen that it is neither humble nor arrogant, and at the same time, the Taishi also bows with both hands, kneeling down, and the number of courtesies is also thoughtful, as if he completely ignores the majesty of Sakura.
"Master, postpone the matter of asking about sin, since you think that the first forgiveness I have drafted is a big mistake, then, please express your opinion." Sakura lowered her head and looked at the stubborn old lady, thought for a moment, and then said calmly, and the loosening in her tone made the flower shadow on the side breathe a sigh of relief.
"Although it is not against the law of etiquette, it is also a law that can be implemented, but this is the act of a tyrant! It does not have the effect of guidance, but the people are in deep water! The Taishi did not get up, but continued to kneel on the ground and say in his characteristic vigorous voice.
"Taishi, can you know the current situation of Dai because you have lived in Hongji for many years, do you understand that how many of the people of Dai Guo are because of the lack of perseverance, they are wasted and die of severe cold, if you don't let Dai Min really know something, it will never be difficult to make Dai a happy country!"
Sakura closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, a sharp voice with a vast aura rang out, allowing the entire palace to hear it clearly, and at the same time, it also caused a reflection because it was still a childish voice.
“……”
"What, then, can you do with your first pardon? Although the old minister did not personally investigate Dai's situation, he also knew about it, but I don't think your decree has anything to do with it! Wangyan said to Sakura in a heartfelt voice.
"Heaven is never fair, our Dai country is not as suitable for agriculture as the Yan country, not as rich in minerals as the Fang country, and not as pleasant as the climate of the Lian country and the Shun country, our Dai country itself is treated by the heavens."
The calm words, but they were the kind of incomparably amazing words, whether it was Aoba on the side or Taishi who originally came with the intention of admonishing, or Taiqi and Aoba on the side, they were all shocked by Sakura's flat tone, but they didn't have any chance to refute, or they didn't find a reason.
"Dai can't hope for God's salvation or the fulfillment of any wish, whether it is the king or the unicorn, although it may bring temporary peace, it is by no means a factor that can make Dai better."
Sakura said calmly, even denying her identity in those words, and she didn't care, I don't know if it was the statement she used to persuade these people, or if it came from some feeling in her heart, otherwise, how could someone who had not experienced it say this so calmly.
"There is no eternal king in this world, whether it is a wild goose that has a long reign of 500 years and faces us across the sea, or a song in the south that has lasted for 600 years, there will be a day when he will lose his way, because as a king, he must be a real man, and man will definitely have that day."
"I think that a true king should not only maintain his own people, but more importantly, guide the people, and be able to have their own lives without a king, so they need to fight, and they need to understand the will of a soldier and a soldier."
"People, after all, they can only rely on themselves, after all, they must strive for self-improvement, in order to last for a long time, they will have the so-called happiness, laughter, and expectation, I am not a great person after all, what I understand, what I think is the most suitable life, that's it."
Sakura slowly said to the few people present, there is nothing to hide, and there is nothing that cannot be said, on the contrary, she is also exploring, doubting, and thinking about herself after being involved in the whirlpool called "afterlife".
“…… Lord. ”
Huaying stood beside him a little dumbfounded, and after hearing Sakura's words, he didn't know what kind of taste it was like, and he could only murmur softly, and the Taishi, who was kneeling on the ground, had already raised his head and looked at Sakura fixedly, his white beard trembled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You may know that Taiqi only had one envoy, and it was also when he accepted the envoy that he chose me as the king, and at that time, Wenzhou Hou (the appointment of Xiaozong who rushed to Wenzhou) was also present, and he asked me at that time, and asked me what kind of country I wanted to build Dai."
"At that time, my answer was 'build a country that I think can be happy', and even now, I don't know what happiness is, but I think that only if the people of Dai can live and work in peace and contentment, dare to fight for their own happiness, and work hard to maintain their lives, will be the premise of happiness."
With some seriousness and inquiry, Sakura frowned slightly, put down the face that was originally looking up slightly, looked at the Taishi, and slowly continued.
"So, Master, can this be regarded as the reason for my decree, and can it be regarded as a response and answer from me to you?"
The calm words shifted the attention of the footpads in this palace to Wangyu's body, and the old man, first, bent down slightly, bowed again, and then raised his head and looked straight at the queen in front of him.
"The Lord's intentions, the old minister can be regarded as understanding, it is indeed a grand and majestic volunteer, but the old minister still hopes that the Lord will think twice, although the 'military service' you decided, although it has great significance, few people can understand, this will only lead to misunderstanding among the people!"
Taishi's voice is still resolute, but compared to before, it is a little less rude, a little more humble, and his meaning is also very clear, and the flower shadow on the side also nodded slightly, the female prime minister who understands the situation of Dai Guo is also very clear that the backlash generated by such an approach is very large, which is why she will be very anxious.
"Lord, what the Master said is very true, even if the Lord is for the well-being of Dai Guo, this may not be understood, so please reconsider, even if it is ...... Even if there is a different kind of amnesty, it is not impossible to postpone the current decree! ”
Hanaying said earnestly to Sakura, and at the same time was quickly thinking about countermeasures, and then, put forward a suggestion that made her feel a little unscrupulous, but she really wanted to help the queen govern Dai Guo well, and she couldn't help but have a little fervent hope in her heart now.
“……”
"Actually......"
After the flower shadow finished speaking, there was a kind of silence here, and after seeing the flower shadow and the master both kneeling down this time, expecting Sakura to change their minds, Taiki and Aoba on the side also knelt down together, making a gesture of support, looking like an admonition, and then after a long time, Sakura finally spoke.
"You mean, this time, the people are misunderstood, right? But if the people of Dai are looking forward to this, what do you think? ”
In a cold voice that was no different, he said slowly, and this completely unexpected rhetoric made the Taishi and Huaying raise their heads in disbelief, their faces full of disbelief, but Sakura's serious expression made them want to hear the following.
Taiki, who had been watching Sakura from the sidelines, had the illusion in a trance, as if the girl, who had always been expressionless and serious, had just shown a mischievous smile......
"Lord, what did you just say? I beg your pardon, can you say it again? Flower Shadow blinked her eyes and said timidly to Sakura, and Sakura, whose expression did not fluctuate much, slowly spoke again......
……
This is in the hall of the Hakugui Palace, Sakura is sitting upright on the throne, the cat tail behind her is well covered because of the sitting posture, and the white hair tied up with a hosta is tied behind the head, which makes Sakura's white cat ears a little conspicuous.
However, the present atmosphere would not draw anyone's attention to such a thing, because the majestic queen was announcing something.
"Because winter is imminent, from next year, that is, the second year of Hongshi, 'military service' will be carried out throughout the territory of Dai State, and in the spring, summer, and autumn of each year, let the state and county sergeants arrange as appropriate, and let the state and county sergeants help the people to carry out farming and other construction, so as to alleviate the current desolation of Dai Country."
"However, the city and the countryside cannot be left without soldiers, and the towns and cities must not be left without defense, and a small number of people must be trained by officers for a short period of time, replacing the patrol duties of those sergeants, and rotating in turn, so that the army and the people can spend time together!"
"Dai is still a poor country, and at the same time facing the most severe environment, I hope that Dai's people can get more resources with the help of the sergeants, obtain a stronger physique, and have the most resolute will."
"In this way, I think that one day, the people of Dai Guo can finally be happy because of their own lives, no longer suffer from the cold, no longer numb from injury, no longer feel hopeless, and will not be confused because of setbacks."
"From then on, the whole country began to implement 'military service', and this is the first amnesty!"
The calm, but loud voice resounded throughout the hall, and at the same time, there was also the oppression and bearing that had been fully displayed, no matter what thoughts the people kneeling below had, or what kind of confusion and doubts they had, at this moment, it seemed to be irrelevant.
Before you know it, this place has become a stage for that young figure.
