As a result, the king rebelled without hesitation.

This explosive news stunned the court that had just gradually recovered from the bandit incident, and soon they got the news - Beijun, Luzhou, Langya County, and Cangzhou had all fallen, and many clans south of the Sanshui River responded in clusters, and the rebels were violent, quite with the momentum of occupying half of the country and ruling the river with the court.

And in a group of states and counties, there are obviously many officials who are loyal to the imperial court, they don't care if the emperor is a man, and they are not interested in Li Yuan's female identity, but they are simply unwilling to defect.

Among them, Shen Ruyu is obviously the one with a particularly large surrender value.

When the rebels were in Beijun, they blocked the inn where Shen Ruyu lived, and let her look at the soldiers on the ground who circled the inn from the windowsill of the room on the second floor, speechless.

What kind of luck is this, so that you can just get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den?

Who is she messing with...... She just wants to enjoy the scenery along the road, and then go back to her hometown to build a house!

If she had known that someone was planning a rebellion here, she might as well return to Beijing to recuperate in the name of being frightened when she was in Julu County.

"It's terrible......" In order to prevent accidents from happening when they dispersed, the group gathered in Shen Ruyu's upper room. Kong Qingyang lay on the windowsill, vigilantly watching the movements of the soldiers downstairs, her long gun on the wall next to her, so that she could hold it in her hand casually. She frowned at any place where she could break through, and occasionally muttered to herself in frustration, "If only there were bows and arrows." ”

"You can't even have a bow and arrows." Hearing her speak, Wang Zijun lay on the table, bored with his long hair, "After all, we have so many people here, even if we can break through, probably only you can run away." ”

And Wen Ming's face was a little pale, but he was still sitting calmly beside Shen Ruyu, hearing that Kong Qingyang, who was quite strong in martial arts, seemed to have nothing to do, he couldn't help but whisper to Shen Ruyu uneasily, "What will they do to us?" ”

Whether in a women's society or a men's society, the lower gender will always have to worry about much more harm when encountering an uncontrollable* crisis than the higher gender - because the rules set by society centered on the dominant gender will always be more harsh or even unreasonable for the weaker gender.

Therefore, Shen Ruyu gently comforted him and said, "It's going to be fine." ”

Anyway, Li Yuan is also a noble-born princess, and her goal is so ambitious, she shouldn't do anything - although Shen Ruyu from another world doesn't think that there will be any loss to men being treated by women, but she knows that in this world, if men are really hurt by that, it will definitely be as severe as the sky is falling apart, just like the ancient women in the other world are out of line.

Thinking about it like this, Shen Ruyu felt that she still had to protect the male □□ in the world around her.

But after Wen Ming was comforted by Shen Ruyu, although he was a little relieved, he still felt a little frightened.

Although he is only a man, he is not valued in the family, he can't read and write like a woman, Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, but he is also a family background that was once able to marry the daughter of the Cui family, of course he understands how much power is represented behind everyone's surname, if Li Yuan wants to reach the top in the end, now is definitely not the time to turn his face with the family, so she put them under house arrest here, but she is offering them good food and drink, which is to pass them and show favor to the forces behind them.

But he also knows that even the eldest daughter, even the eldest daughter, although the status sounds precious, is actually not that important.

Compared with the interests of the entire family, the value of a mere concubine is simply insignificant, only the concubine is abandoned or rescued by the way in accordance with the family's plan to obtain the greatest benefits, and it is impossible to use the life of the concubine to influence the family's decision-making - not to mention, the Shen family is not only Shen Ruyu's concubine.

If Li Yuan achieves great things in the end and becomes the master of the Beijing Division, Wen Ming is almost certain that even if Shen Ruyu dies at the hands of Li Yuan at that time, Shen Nanfeng will never mention half a word.

Therefore, they can now not be harassed by soldiers like ordinary people, and they are worried about their lives at any time, but it does not mean that they are absolutely safe.

Especially the Shen family represented by Shen Ruyu, and the Wang family represented by Wang Zijun, in fact, they can't bring much help to Li Yuan, if they don't help, they will even be the main force against her - because the Shen family and the Wang family have a strong imperial party color - the government is so wonderful, obviously in the Beijing Division, the Shen family and the family and the male emperor are pinching for power, but at this moment, facing Li Yuan, they are undoubtedly on Li Yuan's side - all for the sake of profit.

Since their positions are opposite, and there is no possibility for the Shen family and the Wang family to turn against Li Cong, Shen Ruyu and Wang Zijun said something unpleasant to Li Yuan - "What do you want!" ”

Oh, yes. What's so useful?

- Demoralization.

Although it has no positive effect on one's side, if it is done properly, it can cause a lot of negative effects on the enemy.

…… Who let a three-year-old child and a farmer who can't read big words know that Shen Ruyu is the person Li Cong likes?

If Shen Ruyu can personally write a crusade against Li Cong, or directly surrender to sincerity......

So when Beijun was completely accused, wave after wave of people began to pour up, climbing all kinds of twists and turns of blood relations, using all kinds of excuses to talk to Shen Ruyu, although the central theme is nothing more than how wise and martial His Royal Highness the Acting King is, how bright the future is, how popular it is, if you can join, then how much more like a tiger with wings......

In fact, if the Shen family is just a small clan, or a middle-class family, it may have taken refuge in the past, because when most of the interests have been firmly held in the hands of the big nobles, the only way to redivide the interests and snatch a piece of greater benefits than before is to reshuffle the game.

But the problem is that the Shen family is a big nobleman who controls most of the interests, and naturally they are trying their best to maintain the status quo of the game, how can it be possible to take the initiative to reshuffle?

However, it does not represent the Shen family, Shen Ruyu herself also has a certain appeal, she has a great reputation among the literati, and she also has a great influence among the people, so there is an endless stream of people who come to persuade her to surrender.

When Shen Ruyu faced them, she had always pursued the coping method of never speaking if she could mix with a smile, until one time when the other party talked about Li Cong's tone and wording was too contemptuous and insulting, she interrupted her with a polite and cold smile, "Compared to you, I think I have stayed with His Majesty for a longer time, and I don't think he is such a person." ”

She paused, but still couldn't help but ask, "If Your Majesty were a woman, would you still say those words just now?" If His Majesty is a woman, do you think the series of measures he took after he ascended the throne were really so perverse and angry? I don't think anything out of the ordinary is anything compared to any empress in the past dynasties, why are you so indignant? Is it just because he's a man? If the only reason you object to His Majesty is that he is male, then why should I apostatize for that reason? ”

The man was stunned for a moment before he said, "...... The reason? That, that's the male emperor! Isn't that enough? ”

"The position of emperor is only important in whether it can bring a stable and prosperous life to the people, right?" Shen Ruyu said indifferently, "The emperor's focus is not on men or women, is there no faint monarch among the female emperors?" I think that there is nothing wrong with the current Majesty in political affairs so far, and in this case, the one who has provoked the war and caused the displacement of the people, although she is a woman, I think that although she is a woman, she has no love for the people, and I still think that the present Majesty is better than such a person. ”

It's just that this kind of words, in this place where gender discrimination is extremely strict, obviously can't be understood, the man's eyes widened, pointed at Shen Ruyu, and he couldn't say anything angrily, "How can heaven and earth be turned upside down!" Yin and Yang Yin and Yang, from Yin to the top, Yang to the bottom, if it is chaotic into Yang Yin, the world will be in chaos! ”

Shen Ruyu looked at her and couldn't help but sigh. "It is said that the chaos of yin and yang must be chaos, but if you don't rebel, where does the chaos come from? Don't you feel embarrassed to slap yourself in the face, but tell others that I am destined to be beaten today? ”

When Shen Ruyu finally reacted, no longer always smiling perfunctory, but clearly revealed her position and thoughts-if it was impossible to make her apostatize just because Li Cong was a man and Li Yuan was a woman-, Li Yuan finally summoned her personally.

When separated by a distance, Shen Ruyu saw Li Yuan's appearance clearly, the beautiful woman had a faint smile on her face, looking quite kind and kind, although her look was completely different from Li Cong, who was always proud and flamboyant, but if you looked closely, they actually looked very similar - after all, they were all biological sisters and brothers, but such an resemblance made Shen Ruyu think of their current life-and-death rivalry, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but although she had all kinds of humanistic feelings in her heart, But he didn't forget to smile calmly and gently on the surface, and secretly observed the surrounding environment.

Soon, Shen Ruyu discovered the abnormality - in the open door, the maids with knives standing on both sides kept moving their eyes over, carefully paying attention to the distance she was approaching, obviously as if they were estimating and waiting for something- when Shen Ruyu was about to enter the door, they subconsciously puffed up their chests, as if they were preparing to attack.

Shen Ruyu immediately became secretly vigilant in her heart, and just as she raised her foot and was about to step into the door, she suddenly retracted her foot and jumped back, because her movements were too sudden, and she accidentally stepped on the foot of a guard who was following her—most of the low-level soldiers were men, they were cheap consumables, and only the senior guards standing beside the big man were women—she subconsciously turned her head to look at the young guard, and heard two shouts behind her almost at the same time that couldn't stop the car at all," Daring! How dare His Royal Highness be so rude in front of him! ”

"I'm sorry." Shen Ruyu apologized in a low voice to the guard who had been stepped on by herself, and the other party's originally numb face was obviously stunned for a moment. And when Shen Ruyu turned her head, she happened to see the embarrassed and helpless look on the faces of the two maids. Li Yuan, who originally wanted to give Shen Ruyu a dismount, suddenly frowned, but fortunately, she still remembered to maintain her demeanor, so she held back the anger in her tone, and only scolded with a straight face: "Retreat for me!" ”

Shen Ruyu immediately reacted - this is a very common psychological tactic - first overwhelm the other party in momentum, and then seize the initiative in the conversation and take the lead.

Not to mention the history of this world, there are also many such scenes in the history of Shen Ruyu's world, not only drinking, but also cutting with knives, some people don't wrinkle their eyebrows when they cut in front of their eyes, and the people who cut it in order to avoid embarrassment, at this time they had to pretend to smile generously, and then praise affectionately "Warrior!" So revealed.

Shen Ruyu estimated that although Li Yuan knew this tactic, she probably hadn't used it with her maid very much, so as soon as she made a mistake, the whole scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.

Eventually, both of them decided to start over as if it wasn't the same.

Li Yuan said with a smile on it, "I live in a desolate place, and I often hear about the reputation of the Jade Lady, and today I am finally proud to see it." ”

Shen Ruyu lowered her head and smiled, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Imperial Princess." ”

Hearing this already quite unfamiliar title, Li Yuan was slightly stunned, "Why does Ruyu Lady call me that?" ”

Shen Ruyu said: "Because, if I am still in front of His Royal Highness the Acting King, I should call you the Acting King, but since you have confronted the imperial court, you have given up the title of the imperial court and the status of the county king rewarded, but I should no longer call you the acting king." ”

Li Yuan looked at her, refusing to let go of any slight change in the expression on her face, and said slowly: "I will eventually become the supreme king, you can call me Your Majesty now." ”

Shen Ruyu smiled. She is wearing a plain embroidered snow plum collar shirt, lined with fairer and delicate skin, ivory-like warm pale yellow lower skirt dignified and neatly tied with a cyan ribbon around the waist, lining her slender waist, slender figure, covered with a layer of light green wide-sleeved gauze, plain and elegant, with silver thread as the thread, embroidered with a swirling cloud pattern, plus soft eyebrows and eyes, long black and soft, between a smile, it is even more moving: "I have only called three 'Majesty Xià' - the first emperor, the queen, and the current king." In the future, if I live a long time, I may have the honor to call the fourth 'Majesty', but I don't think it will be now. ”
