Chapter 366: Epiphany

Everyone has been paying attention to the movements on the field, listening to Yu Zhao's words, they all gathered their eyes according to the words, and fell on the slowly unfolding painting, the scene in the painting gradually came into everyone's eyes, and sure enough, everyone expected, Danqing ink fell on the paper, what was expressed was nothing more than the intention of starvation in the vast wasteland.

The Wasteland Hunger Picture, this kind of uninconvenient and unlucky work has made everyone feel uncontrollable and disgusted, but what is more eye-catching is still to come, is that next to the painting is a poem with exquisite and graceful style, overflowing with poetic quatrains.

As Yu Zhao said, the poems from Concubine Ling's hands are almost all exquisite quatrains, with different charms and unique features, but their purpose is the same, and they are all criticizing the extravagant life of the powerful to pity the sorrow of the suffering of the people in the world.

If this is the case, even if this poem is a wonderful and catchy work, it will definitely not please you when it appears on this occasion where the powerful gather.

Looking at the past, all the people in this hall are not low in rank, if there are some small-minded people, they can already count themselves as the powerful lords who are full of wine and meat as described in Concubine Ling's poems, and the more noble the status, the more bad luck they will provoke, so everyone's eyes can't help but look towards Chu Zikai.

He is not afraid of shadows, Chu Zikai has used a lot of heart to deal with the affairs of the world, so he is frank and not afraid of mistakes, he also intends to write this disease-free moaning and unbridled work for a while, extremely cooperative, turned his head and carefully read the content on the volume, shook his head and clapped his hands, and sighed without saltiness:

"Heh, this poem is really well done, if it wasn't intercepted in the palace by Concubine Yi, I'm afraid that after tonight, it would have spread to all over the world, Concubine Ling's talent is really good, but the intention of showing off her skills this time is not to satirize my incompetence and mediocrity."

"The concubine is frightened, she definitely doesn't dare," a word scared Concubine Ling's courage, she was only afraid that Chu Zikai would really misunderstand the meaning of the poem into the meaning of what came out of his mouth, and hurriedly bowed his head, and explained eagerly:

"Your Majesty, this poem is just a casual note of the concubine's whim, it is just to express the feelings of the refugees, and it is definitely not to dare to mock Your Majesty."

"Indeed, it is not a mockery......

When she spoke, Chu Zikai's eyes did not leave the poems on the painting, and she read them sentence by sentence, the more she read, the more angry she became, and then let out a sneer.

"The wasteland is lifeless, and hunger is all over the mountains, but just now, all Aiqing said that the victims of the disaster in northern Xinjiang are not worried about food and clothing, and there are no people who have died due to hunger and cold, so it can be seen that how you give such words to the disaster victims has ulterior motives, how can I just be stupid and take it as a mockery, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you have the intention to slander!"

The tone floated into the water, but for Concubine Ling, it was a heavy blow in her heart, she knew that once the crime of slandering the monarch was detained on her head, the lives of the Ling family would be explained here, and under extreme fright, Concubine Ling was determined to retreat again, and sincerely confessed:

"Please forgive your majesty, this is the concubine because of the deep residence in the palace for many years, and the lack of knowledge, and recently really worried about the people's livelihood, only to lose the weight of the moment to write this factual poem, in order to show remorse, the concubine is willing to burn the manuscript in public to fold the pen to express her confidence in Your Majesty, and then donate thousands of gold and silver and refugees in northern Xinjiang to make up for it in kind, and please give your majesty a chance to make up for the merits."

"Make up for the mistakes, it's the mistakes on the wrongs!"

Three sentences are inseparable for the sake of refugees, for the sake of refugees,...... Yu Zhao's ears were tired of listening to Concubine Ling's hypocritical words that were about to be rotten, and he didn't want to sell anything to deal with her anymore, so he said directly:

"You keep saying that you are dedicated to the people, but in your eyes, this palace only sees the group of disaster victims in the northern Xinjiang, and you don't see your majesty in the eyes, nor do you see you in the eyes of the rest of the people in Dachu, even if you really have a good heart, if you use it in the wrong place because of stupidity, it can be regarded as a kind of evil in a different direction......"

Liu Zhaorong was loyal to the Lord and immediately jumped out to defend Concubine Ling:

"Concubine Yi Niangniang clearly spews blood, and ask the people in this palace, who doesn't know, Concubine Ling Niangniang is the most kind to people on weekdays, when did she not put Your Majesty and the victims of the Great Chu disaster in your eyes!"

The voice was sharp and noisy, Yu Zhao's ears hurt when he heard it, his eyes were angry, he swept Liu Zhaorong's face, and stared back at her thoughts of wanting to be a demon, turned his head to Concubine Shangling's vigilant and thoughtful eyes, and continued:

"You said in advance that you pity the disaster victims in northern Xinjiang who can only eat coarse food and live on coarse linen, and think that their kindness is commendable, but they have not seriously thought that they will end up in such a field because they themselves are gullible and believe in the heresy and heresy, and they are lazy for a year and ignore the retribution of their labor."

"It was a mistake and suffering, karma is the reason of heaven, even if they really starved and froze this winter, they definitely can't blame others, Your Majesty remembered that they were the people of Da Chu, so they gave these reliefs, and you actually helped them dislike the relief they gave was not exquisite and luxurious, and took out a New Year's gift that symbolized your noble status?"

"Besides, there is something wrong with the things you have gifted, and you generously gave them all the treasures of silk and satin, pearls, and jade? I want to show that you are a pure and high-quality person who values love and light money, which is very wrong! ”

"The treasures of heaven, they are the ones who make mistakes, you yourself are willing to suffer, rush to send them to enjoy, once you taste the unprecedented sweetness, it will inevitably make them slack, not only will they not take this disaster as a lesson, but after a year of rest, food and clothing are better than ordinary times more than a star and a half, the result can be imagined, I am afraid that it will only awaken their inertia, then this famine, it must be year after year."

"You must know that coarse grain and coarse cloth, no matter how worthless it is, can also warm up the stomach and save lives, and it is also exchanged for the taxes and purchases paid by the people of Dachu all over the country who work hard to run their families. But I never thought that the people in other places really worked hard for a year, and they were the ones who paid silently, and I was afraid that this compassion was really used in the wrong place. ”
