Chapter 17 The Turtle in Search of the Shell
As soon as I woke up to the dawn, today was a rare day off, and the court meeting was exempted, and Wen Yong didn't have to go to the court early to be a decoration. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Glancing at the white shirt next to the pillow, Wen Yong's lips seemed to have a lingering fragrance of pity, and after smiling slightly, he got up and began to wash under the service of the maids.
After breakfast, Wen Yong asked Fu'an, "What's the news from Brother Zhao?" ”
Fu'an replied: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Concubine Jing closed the palace gate of the Luhua Palace, no one can enter, and the servants don't know the situation inside, but it's ......"
Wen Yong turned his head and asked, "But what?" ”
Fu An'an said with palpitations: "I heard that due to the injury of Zheng Pinggong, Concubine Jing Niangniang was angry with others and killed the palace people who served with the imperial doctor. More than 20 corpses were removed from the Hall of Reva today! ”
"Cane to death!"
Wen Yong's eyes sank, Concubine Jing looked very lenient on weekdays, why did she kill so many palace people with a rod at one time, and if she didn't leave one, it would be like a mouth! Is it because of Yang Xuan's blood book?
Wen Yong touched his arms, empty? suddenly remembered that because of drowning, his clothes had already been changed, and Yang Xuan's blood book may have already fallen into the water, or it may be in the mercy of Ji.
That's it, Yang Recommend's blood book is nothing more than telling himself to pretend to be stupid and wait for Wen Hu to die, but what happened to Yang Recommend is bound to make Wen Hu wary, and it will take more effort to get rid of him.
With a sigh, Wen Yong said to Fu'an, "Go to the pond in the Imperial Garden and help me catch a turtle." ”
"Turtle?"
Fu'an was a little puzzled, but what the emperor wanted, let alone a turtle, even a dragon turtle had to find a way to get it.
It didn't take long for a live turtle to be placed in front of Wen Yong. Wen Yong picked up the turtle and slowly played with it in his hand, his brain moved, and he smiled lightly: "Go and find Wen Xin." ”
Wen Xin, who was dressed in black armor of the guard, walked in from outside the door, knelt down and clasped his fists and saluted: "Chen Wenxin greets Your Majesty." ”
Wen Yong continued to fiddle with the turtle in his hand, and said lightly: "Get up!" ”
Wen Xin got up and saw Wen Yong's style with a puzzled look on his face, thinking that he had lost his heart for yesterday's righteous and fair affairs, so he admonished: "Your Majesty still remembers the words of the past? ”
"You're afraid I'll lose my mind?"
Wen Yong stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "You said that this thing has neither the benefit of tigers and leopards, nor the strength of snakes and worms, but why does it live the longest?" ”
Wen Xin felt something, but he knew when to pretend to be stupid, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"The most majestic one is not necessarily the longest!"
After Wen Yong said this, he put down the turtle and got up and said, "Change into civilian clothes and go out of the palace with me." ”
"Minister, let's prepare."
Wen Xin quickly stepped back.
It didn't take long for Wen Yong and Wen Xin to change into two rich sons' clothes.
Fu'an carefully served beside him, "Your Majesty, do you really want to leave the palace?" ”
Wen tightened his belt and said, "Of course, how can you be a turtle without a shell?" ”
The inexplicable answer made Fu'an instantly messy, and asked: "Let the minions follow, so that you can serve with you." ”
Wen Yong thought for a while and said, "It's okay, you go to the treasury to get more silver, and be my money bag!" ”
Being able to travel with the emperor proved that he had gained credibility, and Fu'an instantly felt that the value of his life had been sublimated, and nodded with joy: "Okay, the slave will go!" ”
After taking the waist card and mixing out of the palace gate, Wen Xin asked, "Your Majesty, where are we going?" ”
Wen Yong said: "Where there are many people, go there." ”
Wen Xin said without thinking: "Then go to Wuling Temple, where incense is flourishing and there are many believers." ”
Wen Yong nodded and said, "Buddhist temple?" It is also good to pray for the blessings of the gods. ”
"The minion is going to prepare the car."
Fu'an consciously took on the role of a housekeeper.
After Fu'an left, Wen Xin asked in a low voice: "Childe, although this time I came out to confuse Wen Hu, is it a bit risky?" ”
Wen Yong smiled and said: "If I am confused by the outside world of flowers, it is too late for him to be happy, how can he hurt me." I came out this time to send a signal to him, I'm still a playful teenager, and I don't have the slightest defense against him. ”
Wen Xin is still a little worried, "There are many fish and dragons outside the palace, and the safety of the son is ......"
Wen Yong patted him on the shoulder indifferently and said, "Isn't this still your way to protect me?" ”
Just then, Fu'an, who was looking for the carriage, returned.
"Your Majesty...... Childe, the carriage has been found! ”
Fu'an drove in the direction of the two with a slightly old carriage.
"Now that you're out, take it easy and have fun."
Wen Yong said and walked towards the carriage.
Seeing Wen Yong coming, Fu'an was about to fall to the ground as a human stool.
"No!"
Wen Yong stopped Fu'an, grabbed the wheel with his hand and turned over.
Wen Xin then also entered the carriage, and Fu'an sat on the left side of the coachman and ordered: "Drive steadily, don't bump my son-in-law." ”
The coachman smiled: "Don't worry, guest officer." ”
The carriage moved slowly, and the avenues of Chang'an were paved with bluestone, and although the car was a little shaky on it, it was quite stable. On both sides of my ears, I heard the shouts of roadside hawkers and the sound of children laughing.
Wen Yong lifted the curtain of the car window and looked at the outside world, and said with relief: "The life of the people of Chang'an is not bad. ”
The carriage gradually drove out of the city gate, and the road became uneven, and the coachman reminded: "Son, sit down, the road outside the city is not as comfortable as in the city." ”
Wen Yong smiled: "It's okay. ”
Hundreds of miles ahead, the wheat fields outside the city are ripe, and the golden wheat waves are set off under the wind, and the people in the fields are shirtless and working hard.
Wen Yong sighed: "It seems that this year is a harvest, and the people's lives are better." ”
Wen Yong's words provoked the coachman's complaints, "How can it! ”
Wen Yong asked curiously, "Is there any reason for this?" ”
The coachman sighed and said: "The fields outside the city are all the old men in the city, and after paying the court taxes and rents every year, there are only a few left in our hands. ”
Wen Yong frowned, land annexation has existed since ancient times, and the history of the dynasty is a history of land annexation and redistribution. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the land was divided equally, then the land was gradually annexed by a few nimble people, and the number of unemployed people increased, and finally a large-scale uprising broke out, and the land in the world was redistributed and reshuffled.
The land contradictions in the Great Zhou Dynasty have already shown their signs, and it is still a good year, and if there is a famine, I am afraid that it will overturn in an instant.
Forcibly terminate land annexation, redistribute the existing land this kind of stupid thing Wen Yong will never do, the feudal society has not opened the wisdom of the people, the world's discourse is in the hands of the landlords and bureaucrats, if Wen Yong is blindly governed, it will be a monstrous disaster, just like the ancient Wang Mang New Deal reform.
Wen Yong had a preliminary idea in his heart, since he couldn't squeeze out a part of the existing cake to feed the people, then he could only find a way to make the cake bigger and hit some of the big landlords who ate too ugly to alleviate the conflict.
