Chapter 702: Life is Frustrated (44)
Du Yueyan's head was buried even lower, almost touching his chest, and his voice was so small that he couldn't hear it, just like a few mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, "I, I'm afraid you don't agree." After all, since he met Fusheng, although she didn't want to admit it, it was true, and some not very good things often happened around her.
Especially in the past few times, she has been under house arrest in Cangguo, and she almost can't come back, she is afraid that the imperial brother will stop her from drinking together. So I got up early in the morning today, and asked the ingenious Nuan Chun to teach her to make Nuan Chun's best egg custard and curry favor with the royal brother. Seeing her so sensible, he would shake a few times, so that she and Fusheng would have a little more chance of success. It's just that I didn't expect the imperial brother to see her intentions so quickly, and she said it so bluntly, which made her embarrassed and a little nervous and scared at the same time, is the imperial brother unwilling, if this is really the case, then what should she do?
Suddenly, a big palm was on her head, the force was gentle, and the man's voice was gentle and low, revealing a very reliable strength, "My silly imperial sister, I have been through so many things, and the thing that the imperial brother wants to see most now is that you can be happy, so no matter what you want, as long as the imperial brother can give it, the imperial brother is willing to give it, even if it is this matter, it is the same." If you want to, then the royal brother will agree. ”
"Still." Du Weizhen paused, "What do you mean by floating life?" I can't force him, if he is also willing, you are happy with each other, and it is too late for me to be happy about getting married. But if he is unwilling, then wishful thinking, the imperial brother can't force Fusheng to do it. ”
The last few words he said were very serious, but as long as Du Yueyan raised his head, he could see a heavy joke, how could he not know that Fusheng had a deep affection for his imperial sister, and he was too late to be happy about such a good thing, how could he refuse. And it is more likely that the matter of getting married was brought up by Fusheng on his own initiative.
"He agreed!" Du Yueyan excitedly shook Du Weizhen's hand, her head was still embarrassed to raise her head, and she was rarely submissive, "The two of us like each other, you don't have to worry about this royal brother." ”
"Okay." Du Weizhen smiled, "I promise you, when the war is over, your wish will be fulfilled." But if Meng Fusheng treats you badly, even if the Heavenly King Laozi comes, I will bring you back, you know? ”
Du Yueyan felt very warm, snuggled into her arms after the battle, and said softly: "I know the imperial brother, he will be good to me." ”
Therefore, people with hope are waiting for the end of the war and for a better life in the future. But Ji Jingsheng was like crazy, refusing to relax at all, but biting tighter and tighter, like a mad dog. In fact, this is mainly because his people did not succeed in bringing Du Yueyan back, he feels that he is already alone now, there is nothing he can afford to lose, and the only belief is that even if Meng Fusheng wins, he can't win so easily!
As the war continued, the number of disabled soldiers on both sides increased day by day, more and more innocent people became refugees, countless fertile fields were barren, and the people who had lost their food sources could not even feed themselves, and more and more people could only change their children to feed in order to sustain their lives, or sell their children to rich and noble families without children, and some people were even forced to sell their daughters to rich widowers as daughters-in-law.
It's not that they don't feel sorry for their children, but in the face of death, even if they keep their children, the only result is to take them to death together. They are not wrong, they are only wrong about this cruel and ruthless war with no end in sight, and what is wrong is people's desire that will never disappear, and it is the desire that prompts them to desperately achieve their goals through the war.
Du Weizhen's true love for the people is like a son, he is always concerned about the safety of the people involved in the war, but the ability of the imperial court is also limited, he has no way to take care of every refugee, and what can really end all the tragedies is actually the end of the war.
When he received another description of the difficult living conditions of the people in the war zone, Du Weizhen was full of pity, so that he could not continue to watch all this go on, and he decided to take the initiative to solve the problem.
He sent people to the Zhou State to find a way to end this war that should not exist in the first place, and he knew that the country that was now standing behind Ji Jingsheng and allowing him to continue to start a war was the Zhou State.
It's just that Zhou Guo is unwilling, because of this war, they have not paid a lot, they have continuously sent reinforcements and goods for Ji Jingsheng, and now most of what they have paid has been exhausted, let them give up now, they are unwilling! They felt that only by swallowing the great power Kunguo in their pockets would it be enough to make up for their losses.
Zhou's refusal was expected by Du Weizhen, but he was still sad about this result, and he did not want to see the people displaced again, but he had no way to stop this, and could only pray for an early end to the war.
Du Yueyan also knows something about the situation on the border, when she heard from the palace maids that many people had to sell their children in order to survive, she was so sad that she almost cried, this kind of nightmare scene actually exists, this is something she couldn't imagine before, but the reality is far more cruel than she imagined, because it is true.
She can't do anything, she is just the most ordinary person, the only thing she can do is to pray for the innocent suffering people in the palace, pray for the war to end as soon as possible, pray that the people can live in peace and contentment soon, pray that they can be reunited with their families, and do not have to endure separation in order to survive.
Then, she also heard a lot of news about Su Ming and Meng Fusheng's injuries, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and injuries and even death are the most normal things, but as long as she thinks that these may happen to Meng Fusheng, Du Yueyan feels that something is strangled on her neck, a little bit of force, so that she gradually can't breathe, close to suffocation, and she is even a little afraid of the arrival of tomorrow, because she will hear the news about the border again.
Du Yueyan could have avoided listening, but she didn't want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, she wanted to know Meng Fusheng's situation every day more than to make herself feel at ease. Of course, at the same time, the number of soldiers who died was also reached to her ears, which was a shocking number, and behind this number, there were lives that were gradually cold.
