Chapter 739: Think long-term
When Nangong Ming came back to the cave, it was already dark, and the flickering firelight in the cave made Nangong Ming feel warm and comfortable, and the coldness in his heart seemed to be swept away.
But the fierceness in the corners of the eyes has not decreased, these people are really bold, and they dare to do such things.
It seems that this trip to Jiangnan is indeed necessary. Otherwise, how can you find out that in this world, there are really people who regard themselves as the emperor of the soil, relying on the sky to be far away, ignoring the emperor's grace and ignoring the emperor's existence.
And those officials in Beijing who maintain Jiangnan seem to have to be liquidated, I thought that the previous renovation was already very thorough, but I didn't expect it to be just an appetizer, these people's hearts are black?
He handed over the people of Jiangnan to them to govern, but they only cared about oppressing the people, only caring about deceiving the superiors and subordinates, and only caring about putting silver in their pockets, and they didn't care about the lives of the people at all.
Nangong Ming felt very heavy every step he took, today Nangong Ming stayed in the tree for several hours, did not drink water or eat, just looked at the people who came to live, and only felt that he was extremely ironic,
Sitting on the high dragon chair, I thought I could see it clearly, but I didn't expect it to be just self-deception.
Concubine Wu was startled when she saw Nangong Ming, no matter when Concubine Wu had never seen Nangong Ming so disappointed, or desperate, or angry. Concubine Wu didn't think that she had done anything wrong, or that she had annoyed Nangong Ming!
But isn't this big black face aimed at being someone else?
Concubine Wu thought of the pheasant soup that she had been boiling for a long time, and sat down on the big stone bag angrily, "What, I feel wronged, I can only hit these things." You don't know it, so why do you throw your face at me? ”
After saying that, Concubine Wu's eyes turned red. Concubine Wu never thought that she would want to cry and cry because of Nangong Ming's black face, she was either sick or had a convulsion.
Nangong Ming didn't expect Hui'er, who has always been strong, to cry at this time. You will feel aggrieved. I felt even more guilty. This matter was my own fault, why did I show my black face back? Nangong Ming stepped forward nervously, wanting to hug Hui'er. But the injury on his arm made Nangong Ming embarrassed.
However, Nangong Ming immediately thought of a better way, he sat directly behind Hui'er back to back, and sighed; "Hui'er, I really don't blame you. You can find something for me to eat and take care of me for this month. I can't thank you enough.
How can it be that because the food is not good, it will show you a face? I just discovered one thing, one thing that hurts my heart! ”
Concubine Wu was unmoved when she heard Nangong Ming's explanation, "Really? What else can make the emperor heartbroken? ”
Nangong Ming didn't pay attention to Hui'er's ridicule. He continued: "Although my arm is injured, I can still move freely, so I will find higher ground these days. Or stand on the top of the tree, just to see if there are homeless people passing by.
When the time comes, we will be among the homeless. This is what you and I have agreed upon. But I looked at the trees for several days, and I really didn't see a large number of homeless people, and there were many beggars, but I didn't see the yellow muscles and thin skin.
And in the fold sent back to the capital by the governor of Jiangnan, Jiangnan is full of corpses, Hui'er, have you seen corpses, have you seen adults eating children.
It is precisely because I saw such a terrifying excerpt by the governor of Jiangnan that I wanted to go to Jiangnan to deal with the disaster in person, and I did not want the people to suffer because of the dereliction of duty of the local officials.
But now it seems that I, the emperor, really made a fuss, and there was no flood at all, and even if it was not as scary as the governor of Jiangnan said. ”
Concubine Wu heard the reason, and her heart also brought it up, indeed, it seemed that she hadn't seen any homeless people along the way.
And I still snort in the mountains, wild fruits are all over the mountain, if I really don't eat or drink in the disaster, let alone wild fruits, even the grass on the mountain has to be eaten by the people.
Concubine Wu thought thoughtfully, "According to what you say, this disaster is fake, then the governor of Jiangnan lied about the disaster, but he was greedy for the disaster money and food sent by the imperial court." ”
Nangong Ming laughed at himself, "In vain, I think I am a Ming Jun, but these ministers under my hands are eager to drink the blood of the people and eat the flesh of the people."
And I just lived in that majestic palace, and I couldn't see or hear anything. I can only let these corrupt officials come around, and I feel heartache and pathetic when I think about it. ”
Concubine Wu knew that Nangong Ming wanted to be a good emperor and a Ming Jun that everyone praised, but when Nangong Ming found out that what he did was still far from the Ming Jun he wanted, and the officials below were greedy like this, so why should they feel good?
No wonder he has a big black face, but Concubine Wu thinks that it is good to let Nangong Ming see the true face of Jiangnan officials clearly, at least in other places in the future, there will be no similar situation.
"Nangong Ming, your strength alone is limited, at least you are willing to take this step, and you are willing to see with your own eyes, you are better than the previous emperor, and I don't know how many times stronger than the emperor of Shun.
These officials are not fattened by you, they are all from the beginning of the emperor, and they are slowly greedy and accustomed to it, not in a day or two to rectify it, it is necessary to think in the long run, not to harm the interests of the people to the greatest extent, and to uproot all these corrupt officials. Instead of blaming yourself now, you should think about how to meet Wangong. ”
Nangong Ming sighed helplessly, Concubine Wu handed over a small bowl of tea, now Nangong Ming's arm is almost good, as long as it is not too heavy, the problem is not too big, but it is like fighting with someone, it is really a little hanging.
Nangong Ming drank the coarse tea in the bowl, but he didn't know that the original tea should be the taste of water, and the more tea leaves he put lost his original taste. Just like the imperial court, those officials are selected for the benefit of the people.
However, these people thought that being an official was used for greed, and forgot the original intention of the imperial court to choose them. Now, if we want to replace these people, we must replace them with some officials who are truly talented and learned, who have the ability to repay their losses, who have ideals, who have insight, and who have a conscience.
And all of this takes time, it takes a process. Nangong knew that if he didn't meet with Wan Gonggong, he would be nothing now, so it seemed that he could only take risks.
"Tomorrow, let's pretend to be ordinary people and think about sneaking into Jiangnan City." Nangong Ming didn't want to wait any longer, and the capital couldn't wait.
Concubine Wu had a quiet smile on her face: "Don't worry, I'll help you change your clothes, put on makeup, and keep it without anyone believing that we are not ordinary people." He disguised himself as a merchant and went into the city to buy all kinds of fabrics.
What do you think, I still know a little bit about business, but I really don't know much about it. ”
Nangong Ming showed a smile at Concubine Wu, she would never be able to give her the greatest help and care when she needed it most, but before, thinking about Nangong Ming felt shameless to face back.
"Thank you! It's all up to you tomorrow, I just hope we can reach Jiangnan City safely. (To be continued) R655
