Qin Fang drooped her head and leaned on the embroidery, and Princess Lu of Chu leaned aside, her eyebrows were dignified and beautiful, and her expression was much softer than ten years ago, but she was vaguely a little arrogant, and she only heard her say unhurriedly: "These days, I am afraid that the threshold of our house is going to be broken, which is not a good thing." ”

"I don't know, but ......" Qin Fang shuddered, "these people pounced like mosquitoes and flies that smelled carrion, what can I do?" You can't hold your father's leg to show your loyalty and say that you don't think about the throne, right? I'm afraid that a few children will be damaged by them, and that will be a disaster. ”

Lu Shi looked at Qin Fang quietly, and unconsciously smiled gently.

With three points of frivolity and femininity between his eyebrows, he is still the frivolous appearance of the old days, no one could have imagined that such a child of the clan who had mixed his youth in the three sects and nine streams, and suddenly became rich, and now the hot King of Chu has changed his romantic style since he became a marry, guarding his wife, and he has been consistent for ten years.

She didn't expect it either.

With both parents dead and sending people under the fence, Lu is confused about his future. She knew early on that although her uncle's family was an earl, he had lost his power, but he was living with an empty title. The cousins are all fighting for each other, for a good husband to be able to break their heads and bleed. She can only hide silently behind alone, not to hinder the eyes of her cousins, and she can't make her grandmother and aunts unhappy because of her beauty.

Then, she saw this white-bodied emperor grandson who came to Chenliu County Lord's Mansion to eat and drink, and occasionally came to their mansion to visit the door.

The cousins peeked curiously at this handsome young man, and obviously couldn't take their eyes off it, but they pointed at him and despised his self-depravity. I heard that he likes to sing and often makes cameos on stage, and I feel that it is dirty to listen to. Only she found the sadness under his disdainful smile, thought of what happened to her, impulsively, and admonished two sentences, who would have thought ......

In the past year, the Lu family has also been blinded by the huge ecstasy, not to mention her uncles, as well as the stewards and the house. Fortunately, she found out in time that her subordinates were wantonly accumulating money, and punished the other party severely, and at the same time she was scared into a cold sweat, she also woke up from her dream, and saw her husband distressed, and said softly: "Outsiders come to beg, let's close the door and don't see each other, and a few children are also well controlled, don't let them go out of the house for the time being." It's my relatives, as well as the people in our house, who should be restrained. There are some things that suffer from them when they are constantly interrupted. Look at Princess Yuzhang, because of her breath, she refused to give her husband. Although he is not with them now, it is not easy to get along, so he can only watch the He family encroach on the fields and forcibly seize the shops. ”

Qin Fangzhi knew that his wife had always said that she had half hidden and half hidden, and couldn't help frowning: "The He family is not so bold to stir up the wind and rain in the capital, could it be that Princess Yuzhang is doing it herself?" "It's not right, the He family is a small official, with shallow eyelids and light bones, once they gain power, they can really do anything.

However, Qin Fang was right.

Princess Yuzhang is Qin Ke's eldest daughter and his favorite daughter in the past, and her treatment is not worse than that of her heirs. If it weren't for the fact that he was still young, less than ten years old, the illustrious family affairs should have been decided a long time ago, and a lifetime of stability and wealth was in front of him, who would have expected that the change would come so suddenly?

The reason why people's hearts are unbalanced is that one is the problem of their own mentality, and the other is the difference in treatment. Princess Yuzhang is naturally inferior to the princess of Qin in everything, if nothing else, let's talk about power! Since Cui Jun became an official because he called the princess of Qin "Princess Jiangdu", now the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and even the people of Chang'an, who does not call the one who joins the main political hall to be the princess of Jiangdu? Changed to Princess Yuzhang, she wants people to call her "eldest princess", who will really take it seriously?

"I've heard it's a bit unusual." Lu said slowly, "It's bigger than the pomp of the eldest princess of Dangli, let alone Princess Jiangdu." Although people outside say that Princess Jiangdu is extravagant, we have seen it with our own eyes, and you also understand that when she was in the boudoir, Princess Jiangdu did not have many close friends, but there were many people with red eyes; The second is that many men can't see Princess Jiangdu in power, so they have no chance to take advantage of it, so they use such inferior rumors to ruin Princess Jiangdu's reputation, but Princess Yuzhang is different. I heard that Princess Yuzhang bought land in the suburbs of Beijing and wanted to build a better courtyard than Chunxi Garden. ”

If the members of the royal family can't even use gold, silver and jade, can't wear silk and satin, and can't repair pavilions and pavilions, it will be too ridiculous and generous, not to mention that Qin Wan has to spend his own money? The real luxury should be to ask for those things that require a lot of manpower and material resources, such as pearls, lychees, flowers and stones, etc., because in this way, many people will oppress ordinary people in order to curry favor with the superiors, leading to the destruction of homes and countless deaths. Qin Wan has no interest in these things, and he doesn't have any hobbies of tearing fans and listening to the sound of cracked silks, at most he has a better degree of food and clothing on weekdays. If this is all called luxury, there is nothing for these upper class people who are not extravagant and wasteful.

Qin Fang understood that the so-called "buying land" was to encroach on good land, oppress people with power, force people to buy and sell, and even the price was unfair, so he couldn't help frowning: "What is she to fight for, Chunxi Garden was originally given by the first emperor, and then changed to Zhaoyang Palace, because the first emperor was seriously ill and had a great trip, the repair of the fortifications never started at all, and now it is still the same as before, there is no pomp and circumstance of the palace at all, and it is very cold, and I have not seen the princess stretch." She is good, the first emperor's bones are not cold, so she played the majesty of the princess, isn't she afraid that her father will blame her? ”

Although he is not familiar with politics, he also knows that the atmosphere in the court is very tense now, and it is easy to offend people by checking the household registration book, and the emperor's relatives may not be affected by this storm. At this time, if you don't hold your tail between your legs, is it possible to be a rafter who wants to be a head? Or do you think that the truth of the bloodline is inseparable, so you can allow her to do anything wrong and ruin the royal reputation? I don't want to think about it, in terms of affection, how much does my father still have her?

Qin Fang thought it was a little good.

Princess Yuzhang embezzled fertile land and forcibly seized shops, although she was in the capital, she was Qin Ke's eldest daughter. A daughter is different from a son, and if a son does such a thing, if the emperor has a heart of suppression, he will definitely not be able to escape a dead word. If it is a daughter, she can't take the throne left and right, but she can be a little more lenient, which is also the reason why the princess of Daxia is arrogant and domineering, as long as they don't seek to usurp the throne, some small things, as long as they don't do it too much, the emperor will not take it to heart.

Even Li Jingmen hesitated for a moment before presenting this news to Qin Wan. As for Zhongshu Province, there are very few moves to impeach Princess Yuzhang, and the few are all suppressed, the reason is very simple - Duke Yuzhang mainly repairs the garden and wants to get a shop, and he naturally likes a good place, and most of the good fields in Beijing are obtained by the powerful. Princess Yuzhang was not stupid enough to directly act on the big nobles, and specially picked those nobles who were slightly worse, and these nobles did not dare to do anything when they encountered this matter.

They procrastinated by themselves, not daring to provoke Princess Yuzhang, but they complained, if it weren't for this, Lijingmen would not have been dark under the lights, so they found out. After all, Qin Wan's people mainly stared at Qin Jing and Qin Qi's mansion, and the rest of the brothers and sisters passed by, not very concerned.

When Qin Wan saw this secret report, he sighed, and his face was full of confidence: "She is smart." ”

Pei Xi smiled and said, "You, you!" If Princess Yuzhang encroaches on the people's fields, I am afraid that you will immediately be furious, and you will plead on her for a while, so that she can stop before she stops. Now that she has invaded the noble land, those people are afraid that it will be too late to scold her, why do you have a sad face? ”

"That's my sorrow." Qin Wan said helplessly, "The people are pitiful, such a state of affairs, but the impact is easy to suppress, these nobles are intertwined, one is not handled well, but it is easy to cause a big disaster." ”

Pei Xi knew that she was sad and angry in her heart, so she said: "You will encounter many such things in the future, you should figure out how to choose." The people are very easy to fool, even if you do thousands of things for them, the change of the prince and the change of power will not affect them. In the same way, they often do not influence these major events, and only use them as after-dinner conversations. If there is chaos in the world, the power of the people can be used, but you don't want that to happen, do you? ”

Everyone understands this truth, and when it comes to choosing for themselves, few people will choose the people, even if they are from the people. Wang Mang has this heart, and you have seen his results. Therefore, Emperor Guangwu shared the world with the family, and Xu Ran failed to completely suppress the family, even though the dynasty has been prosperous for sixty years, under the rule of Taiping, it has shown signs of decay. I know that if I turn a blind eye and adapt to the times, I may be able to live a prosperous life. As for after my death, even if the flood was monstrous, it had nothing to do with me, but I had a lot of blood and was full of grievances. Qin Wan said slowly, "The result of repeated compromises can only be to watch the land being seized by these moths, and the people cannot pay their taxes, so they can only abscond, becoming slaves, bandits and even miners, and living a precarious life." The people are also human beings, and even if they endure again and again, they will one day rebel. I know that there is no eternal dynasty in the world, but I want to do everything I can to make life better for the people under my rule. ”

When Pei Xi heard this, his expression was leisurely, but his tone was a little cold: "This road is difficult, so difficult that it is difficult to make a 'saint' who was once desired by all the people and known as the reincarnation of Duke Zhou, and after his death, the people flocked to him and ate his flesh. ”

Qin Wan had already made a decision, and his tone was solemn, as if he had sworn an oath: "I understand, but I never take the path that others have chosen for me, I want to work for the benefit of the people, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I have to give it a try." Even if Wang Mang is like Wang Mang and his reputation is ruined, he will not regret it. ”

Pei Xi saw that she had made up her mind, and smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, then let's kill it!" ”
