Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Inner City and the Outer City

"Cao'er, it's definitely no problem to get the first place in Jixia Academy, trust me." Hugging Wu Zetian, Shan Beichen said with a smile.

"I believe in you." Wu Zetian nodded, he is so powerful, it should be no problem to take the first place, Yingzheng, Yingzheng, look at how I hit you in the face this time.

"Cao'er, I'm not going back today." Shan Beichen looked at Wu Zetian with a smile and said.

"Then don't you go back." Wu Zetian's face was slightly red, and she knew the taste of the marrow, so she naturally hoped that Shan Beichen would accompany her more.

"By the way, Cao'er, let's go out to have fun together in the afternoon, I see that the scenery outside Chang'an City is good, let's go around together." Shan Beichen suddenly thought of the beautiful scenery outside Chang'an, and let the empress accompany him out to play, it must be a very happy thing.

"Okay." Wu Zetian also came to be interested, since he became the emperor, he really didn't have much time to have fun, anyway, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, and it was nothing to go out with Shan Beichen.

The two chatted for a while, and then it was time for dinner.

Looking at the nearly 100 delicacies of mountains and seas on the table in front of him, the corners of Shan Beichen's mouth twitched slightly, this is too extravagant, right?

"Cao'er, this is too wasteful, we can't eat it." Shan Beichen looked at Wu Zetian and asked.

"If you can't eat it, you can let the palace maids eat it." Wu Zetian said as a matter of course, of course, this is not to say that those palace maids eat the rest of the meal, you must know Wu Zetian's food, it is definitely the most delicious, how much can Wu Zetian and Shan Beichen eat? The ones left behind are also very rich, and these palace maids are happy to eat these, because even if they are left, it is unattainable for ordinary people.

Shan Beichen didn't speak, nodded and looked at the palace maids around him and said, "You guys should retreat first." ”

"Huh?" Wu Zetian and his palace maids who were waiting around were all stunned, and they all knelt on the ground trembling and kept kowtowing: "His Royal Highness King Tang, spare your life, what we did wrong, please make it clear." ”

“???” Shan Beichen was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "I didn't say that you didn't do well, I don't have no hands, I can eat by myself, I'm not used to eating and others are waiting by my side." ”

The palace maids kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, they looked at Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you should step down." ”

When the palace maids all retreated, Wu Zetian looked at Shan Beichen in confusion and asked, "Beichen, why don't you let them serve you?" That's their responsibility. ”

"It's too much trouble." Shan Beichen waved his hand and said, "Isn't it good to clip what you want to eat?" Having someone next to you for a meal feels weird and a little unnatural. ”

"Uh-huh." Wu Zetian nodded, since Shan Beichen didn't like it, then if Shan Beichen came to the palace for dinner in the future, she would not arrange these palace maids.

After lunch, Wu Zetian dressed up, and sneaked out of the palace with Veil and Shan Beichen, why did they sneak away? If they are seen by those Praetorian Guards, they will definitely follow in the name of protecting Your Majesty, and the two of them are dating, how can they let a group of light bulbs be there.

The two walked hand in hand on the streets of Chang'an, looking at the bustling streets, Wu Zetian said with a smile: "My people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and I am very relieved. ”

"Cao'er, this is the inner city, most of them are rich and noble, they are not short of money, so naturally they seem to live and work in peace and contentment." Shan Beichen shook his head and said: "Although the security in the outer city is also very good, compared to the inner city, it is very different. ”

"I can't help it." Wu Zetian sighed and said, "All I can do is give these poor people more rights. ”

I have to say that Wu Zetian is a good emperor, Wu Zetian can't make the class no longer exist, but she has issued a lot of decrees that are beneficial to the poor people, and they have all taken action, Wu Zetian is also an enlightened and good emperor in the eyes of the people.

The two walked to the junction of the inner and outer cities, and the most famous building was the beautiful Changle Fang.

"Your half-demon bunny is here." Wu Zetian looked at Shan Beichen and asked with a smile: "The No. 1 Dancing Girl in Chang'an, I remember that there are countless ministers who want to include her in the family, but she refused, I didn't expect her to fold it into your hands, tsk, Beichen is indeed excellent." ”

"Ahem, there is no such thing, don't talk about this." Shan Beichen was a little embarrassed when Wu Zetian said this, discussing another woman in front of his own woman, this kind of behavior is simply looking for death.

"Beichen, let me tell you, you can find as many women as you want, I don't want to care and I can't manage it, but you must not look for it casually." Wu Zetian looked at Shan Beichen seriously and said: "If there is a very bad person among your women, then don't blame me for being unkind, you are just angry, and I will clean her up." ”

"Don't worry, Cao'er, it won't." Shan Beichen nodded and said, the women around him, which one is not a peerless beauty who has captivated the country and the city, there are so many excellent women, his vision has long been cultivated, how can he look at ordinary women.

Holding Shan Beichen's arm, the two walked into the outer city, but the outer city is obviously not as good as the inner city, most of them here are those half-demon people or very poor people, the atmosphere here is very cold, everyone is busy with their own affairs, they are all running for their own livelihood, everyone has a tired face, but they dare not have a trace of relaxation, because once they relax, the family may not have anything to eat today.

Their clothes were even more tattered, as if they could cover their bodies, which was in stark contrast to the brocade robes of the inner city.

is just a dividing line, but the gap between the two sides is so obvious, Shan Beichen and Wu Zetian both sighed.

"Is there really such a big gap between people?" Wu Zetian looked at the people in the outer city with envious eyes, and sighed slightly.

"Class, can never be broken, Cao'er, you have done a good job, don't blame yourself." Shan Beichen comforted: "Where people exist, there must be strife and class, this is an eternal law. ”

"I also know, but they are all my people, and I am still a little sad when I see their lives." Wu Zetian nodded slightly.

Shan Beichen looked at Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian was indeed devoted to the Tang Dynasty, including the imperial examination for the selection of officials, and the palace examination were all selected by Wu Zetian himself, and the imperial examination system was very strict, and no official was allowed to use the relationship.

And every year, Wu Zetian will allocate a lot of money to Guozijian, and Guozijian has no enrollment restrictions, as long as he is sincere in studying, even children from poor families can still go to Guozijian to learn knowledge for free.
