Chapter 415: Passing Years
Time went back to Pugan a month ago, before the door of the store that day, Chinese was crying and rejoicing, thinking that this store opened in time, so that His Highness could recover earlier.
A team of rats swam past him, and he took a look at it, thinking that the rats were lined up quite neatly.
A quarter of an hour later, on the tower, the queen looked at the strange handwriting on a yellow piece of paper, and sighed softly, her tone full of envy.
"It turns out that he has a lover."
After a while, she said, "Yes, his eyes are full of thoughts." β
After another moment, she said, "However, I still want to keep him, what should I do?" β
This time, someone finally answered, and a hoarse old woman's voice said, "Since my king has sent down his will, the whole world should obey it." β
The queen smiled.
"He'll stay."
"You see, he loves that field of flowers so much. The water he drank, the rice he ate, the soup he drank, the aroma he smelled, and even the bed he slept on were all gifts from that field of flowers. He can't leave that flower field anymore, and naturally, he will never be able to leave me. β
β¦β¦
In the summer of that year, Huzhou assassinated Shi Wenzhen, in the Ming Garden, where Wang Yan was stationed in the king's place, and was assassinated by the order of King Jiaozhao, but fortunately his loyal subordinates desperately rescued him, and he was almost alive, during which he disappeared for nearly a month.
On the day of the incident, there was a fierce clash between the Huzhou state army and the Dingwang guards, and the governor of Huzhou, Shi Zhangyue, led 2,000 state troops and Dingwang's guards to confront each other for a day and night, and forcefully forced Dingwang Yan to leave Huzhou. After Yan Jue came out of Huzhou, he encountered most of the state army outside the city with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and was so frightened that he had to go all the way and flee to Dingzhou.
The matter was transmitted back to Tianjing, the government and the opposition were shaken, the officials were angry, the old lady knelt in front of the palace again, the students of the Sanwen Book House sat in front of the palace gate square, and all the Jingjiang and Lakes were closed all day, and the new technical school that Wen Zhen funded just under construction was suspended, and the entire Tianjing, the teahouse and the wine shop, the poor house of the government, the study boudoir, and the discussion of things, no one knew that the huge waves in Huzhou had risen again, and no one knew that the female assassin who was conscientious for the royal family was forced by the royal family in Huzhou, and suffered a great disaster.
If there is a solidarity faction, there must be an opposition, and the idle King An and Sikong Junwang and others in Beijing jumped up and down, alluding to the strangeness of Wen Zhen's "disappearance", and also pointing out that the scholarly trend was secretly instigated by Wen Zhen and was not subordinate. However, before this heart-wrenching remark came out of the palace gate, some scholars were furious when they heard the news, and they died in front of the Zhengyang Gate to show their hearts, and the sit-in incident suddenly turned into a bloodshed incident, and the grief and indignation escalated, and at the same time angered a group of courtiers who were already very resentful of the officials who accused Wen Zhen of the third conspiracy theory.
At the same time, Wen Zhen's impeachment chapter on Yan Jue's previous request for rain and mountain fire to destroy the people's ancestral graves led to civil unrest, Zhang Yue's self-plea for guilt, together with the Huzhou people's crying blood and begging for Wanmin Letter, were handed over to the emperor's desk, Rentai Hall was not stopped by wind and rain, Jingren Palace was shocked three times a day, and every breath and breath in distant Huzhou affected the pace of the entire Tianjing, which was a miracle that had never been seen in the past hundred years since the establishment of the dynasty.
Yan Jue was also panicked all day long, and sent three excerpts of self-blame to explain his guilt and returned to Beijing, and ordered half of the guards to look for Wen Zhen day and night, almost draining the entire Cuihu. The reason why half of them were left behind was because even if he fled to Dingzhou, he would not be able to sleep day and night. Dingzhou and Huzhou are adjacent to each other, and the people have long heard of what he has done in Huzhou, and the so-called things hurt him, and they also hate this Huzhou-stirring stick. When Yan Jue first came, he still wanted to reluctantly put on the majesty of the prince, but before the prince's guard of honor was opened, he was attacked by a flying object - a bag of dung, splashed all over his face, waiting to find the culprit, where to find the street full of people, and Yan Jue only found out at this time that the street was full of people, his eyes were like ice and his eyes were like swords, and he was trembling all over his body, and he immediately hurriedly got back to the sedan chair, and ran to Dingzhou Thorn Mansion with a smoke, and he never dared to come out again. The Assassin Mansion had to order to strengthen its defenses, and Yan Jue also had to make his own 1,000 guards guard him all day long, and he was surrounded by airtight air every step of the way.
On this hot summer day, he tormented others, and finally gave back to himself.
And he quickly surpassed Yan Sui's notoriety in the government and the opposition, and was awarded the title of Dongtang's new "most evil prince". On the contrary, it is Yan Sui, people think of him now, but they feel that this person has never bullied people casually, nor embarrassed the people, although it is difficult to do, but most of the targets are at the level of the big guy, as long as he does not provoke him, he is too lazy to pay attention to you, and he also acts low-key on weekdays, think about it carefully, what a good person.
If Yan Sui knows, he should probably say modestly: they are all well supported by their peers.
At that time, Wen Zhen was unconscious, and was transferred to a secret place for treatment and recuperation, and his life and death were uncertain, and he was once thought that he might never wake up for the rest of his life. Zhang Yue and others were greatly stimulated, and swore by holding the child in front of the bed that they would fight for their lives, and they must pay the price.
Yan Jue barely had a few days of peace before, but with the passage of time, Wen Zhen was never seen, Zhang Yue presided over Huzhou government affairs, detained the new Huzhou don't drive, and even sent a joint petition to the court to cry and complain to the court in fact, Mao Wanqian led the Huzhou state army to suspect that the king of Dingzhou had taken away the history of the assassin, and had to find the name of the history of the assassin, stopped outside the city of Dingzhou, faintly besieged the city, which caused huge pressure on the entire Dingzhou city, the history of the Dingzhou assassin could not sleep day and night, and the people of Dingzhou could not go out of the city to do business and hunt and trade, and the result of the obstruction of life was inevitably anger. The tide of the people is imminent.
Yan Jue is like being roasted on the fire, but also being constantly adding fire, this fire in Huzhou and Tianjing at the same time, when the rumors have been from the inner room of Tianjing into the streets, in every alley and every small shop spread, and gradually turned to the imperial court persecution of the feudal officials, Yan Jue has the idea of not being a minister, about the disposal of the king of the Ding Yan Jue edict, finally at an unprecedented speed out of the Jingren Palace, it is said that the emperor heard it, furious, ordered the king to immediately return to Beijing without a crown and a flail, take the king, the staff of thirty, and reduce to the Duke of Yunyang.
Yan Jue became the first prince in the history of Dongtang to be expelled from Kyoto because of the guilt of the courtiers.
Even if Concubine Rong knelt in the deep palace during the period, even if Yan refused to return to Beijing and Lixue at the palace gate, after all, he failed to save the prince's honor, and when Yan Jue went out of Beijing, he only kowtowed and knelt in front of the palace gate, and no one sent him off.
At the same time, the people of Xiaoye Village, Ye County, Huzhou, and Ye Daya, the eldest daughter of the Ye widow, went to Beijing to knock on the throne, suing the Tang family in northern Sichuan and the former Huzhou Thorn Shi for colluding to collect heavy taxes, and before the new Thorn Shi took office, he collected the spring levy in Xiaoye Village and other nearby villages and towns, and bribed the villagers of Xiaoye in advance, and conspired with the whole village to forge the spring fu, so as to mislead the new Thorn Shi to track down the three levies a year, so as to cover up his hands and feet in taxes and Fengbao Cang, and at the same time sue the Meng Pearl family for revenge, bite the benefactor, and deceive the king, and the crime is unforgivable.
This matter was naturally Wen Zhen's handiwork, and the moment Yan Jue took out her will, she understood that the three endowments a year were fake, and they were made for her to see, the purpose was to divert her attention so that it would be convenient for them to act in Fengbaocang and other places. The villagers of Xiaoye Village are half deceived and half bought, and Meng Zhu's family is really wolf-hearted. She was secretly rescued to recuperate at that time, and at first she hid the news from Yan Jue, and made him panic about killing Thorn Shi, and after waking up, she ordered to find the eldest girl and told her the news of Su Xun's death.
Sure enough, the eldest girl with a strong temperament chose to avenge Su Xun, and she was able to bite the Tang family. Otherwise, how can she be a little girl, how can she go to Beijing smoothly and knock on the ground.
With the testimony of the eldest girl and her widowed mother, Meng Pearl also retorted again, crying bitterly and saying that she was bought and coerced, and the imperial court sent personnel to investigate in Xiaoye Village and Huzhou. In the autumn of that year, Meng Zhu's brother was beheaded and abandoned in the city. Meng Pearl and his sister-in-law were used as official slaves. The child was brought back to Xiaoye Village by the widow to be raised.
Su Xun's corpse finally took a lot of effort to fish it up, and was finally buried in the mountain behind the Dragon Temple, the predecessor didn't drive Wang Huang's corpse, Wen Zhen also asked people to collect the body and transport it back to Huzhou, and buried it with his son, so that their father and son could be reunited underground.
In her own house, she set up a tablet for Su Xun, and on the tablet is Su Xun's real name, called Wang Yan.
Pheasant, pray for rain, rainbow.
The wind dances and returns.
He is the timely rain that Wen Zhenren prayed for on the way of life, and finally scattered as a rainbow on the green lake, a streamer in an instant, stunning and immortal.
But the eldest girl took the tablet away, saying that she would be widowed for him for the rest of her life, Wen Zhen didn't stop her, everything in the world has its own fate, and what she can do is to take care of her for the rest of her life.
A month later, Wen Zhen held the full moon child and made a secret full moon in the house, fortunately, or it can be said that the miracle is that the child was not affected by the mother and the toss on the night of birth, nor was it affected by any genetics from the father, and the body was very healthy, stronger than the average baby, but Wen Zhen was a serious postpartum illness after all, and there was no milk, but she didn't mind this when she looked at the child, she didn't care. And the tossing that night was too much, and at the same time two needles were broken, which was also one of the reasons why she almost died, she checked her pulse, because of this experience, it was difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.
Of course, she still doesn't care, although she only gave birth to one, she is already afraid, if Yan Sui wants to have more children and grandchildren with feudal thoughts, he will give birth to himself.
But in Wen Zhen's opinion, he doesn't care.
The child, who will snatch his wife from him and share his wife's favor, must be as little as possible.
On the night of the child's full moon, Wen Zhen officially asked the child to recognize Zhang Yue as his godfather, grabbed the child's little fist and shook him, Zhang Yue hugged the child, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
After the banquet, Wen Zhen also grabbed the child's little fist, shook it at the south, and said with a smile: "You cheap father, I'm afraid I don't know that you have come to be a demon!" β
The doll lifted the calf cow and expressed its supreme respect for his cheap father with a soak of fresh and hot boy urine.
At the same time, Yan Sui sat up from the bed, greeted the rising sun, and suddenly said to Chinese: "Count the days, the cake should also be born." β
Chinese: "...... What the?! β
In the autumn of the year, the colorful and splendid sea of flowers in Pugan, when it was time to harvest the fruits, one day, the owner of the flower field invited Yan Sui, in the tower full of gorgeous sun wheels, when those full fruits were cut with a knife, flowing out of snow-white pulp, and then dried into a brown solid, the veiled owner elegantly asked Yan Sui to "enjoy the most beautiful gift of the gods", Yan Sui sighed and said: "Do you know, if my wife sees this thing, she will definitely want to slap you with big ears." β
Queen: "......"
That night, a fire burned down the poppy fields.
Since then, the sea of colorful flowers that connect the sky with a brilliant cloud and a magnificent spectacle has become a unique sound.
The queen was speechless for a long time in front of the people who went to the empty seaside cottage and a field of charred flowers.
How could anyone be willing to leave here?
How could anyone get out of here?
The beauty of the poppy flower ecstasies the soul and bones, and in a silent way, it entangles the body, mind and even the soul, and cannot break free.
She has only seen countless people who have been mistaken for life when they see this flower, but she has never seen anyone who can indulge in it for so long and still get out.
Little did she know that a few years earlier, a woman had shown him this ghostly flower.
She didn't know that those who were determined and resolute were not afraid of the demonic methods of the world.
β¦β¦
Pugan also lit a fire, but the flames in the east hall were slowly burning inside. Although the imperial court did not say anything about the Tang family's behavior at that time, within two or three years, the officials in the court who had anything to do with the Tang family were slowly dismissed, or degraded, or moved away, or were directly dismissed and locked up. The Tang family's face was obvious, and His Majesty finally stopped trying to maintain the appearance of harmony between the monarch and the minister, and finally took action and began to slowly tear through the hypocritical face.
But because of this, the supervision and collection of armaments, grain and grass, salt taxes, and ordnance in various places are also being intensified, and it is the winter of this year, because of the timely collection and delivery of taxes in Huzhou, and the proper handling of a series of previous events by Wen Zhen, the imperial court once again rewarded Wen Zhen, this time directly rewarded the viscount title, and Wen Zhen became the first woman to be knighted in the history of Dongtang.
In the winter of that year, the female assassin Shi carried out a large-scale job transfer of Huzhou's subordinate officials under the condition that the important chief official remained unchanged, especially the functions involving military and interests such as the secretary, the treasurer, the businessman, and the grain, all of which were cross-posted, so as to avoid the breeding of local protectionism, collusion with officials and businessmen, etc., and also completely disrupted the deployment of some officials who had occupied certain functions for a long time and had strong business power. No one dares to do thisβafter all, this is an unprecedented assassination of all princes. Moreover, it is said that His Majesty intends to send the prince again, and the princes of the right age will all be sick.
But Wen Zhen never just wields a big stick. She's always been a honey and a stick. She increased the salaries of officials to ensure that the salaries of officials were enough to support the family, but she strictly investigated the corruption of officials, and those who accepted bribes of more than ten taels of silver would be punished with a rod, and fifty taels of silver would be punished. The upper and lower are one, without exception.
Governments at all levels are strictly economical and implement a complete and comprehensive office system, attendance system, reward and punishment system, and management system...... The atmosphere of Huzhou officialdom is clear.
In the winter of that year, the assassin Shi inspected the whole territory and adopted several orphans along the way, some of whom were less than half a year old, and some were three or four to five or six years old, all of whom were raised in the house in the name of mother and son. Thorn history felt in the peaceful years, although hard work, still the road is hungry, ordered Huzhou to add a good hall throughout the territory, Huzhou rich businessmen enthusiastically responded, have contributed to the construction, Huzhou became the state with the most good halls in Dongtang. For this, he was commended by the imperial court.
At the end of that year, the first comprehensive technical school in Dongtang, sponsored by Huzhou wealthy businessmen, was completed, and the school opened various subjects including cooking, iron smelting, porcelain burning, lacquerware, winemaking, textile, woodworking, copper making, pulp dyeing, papermaking and so on...... Recruited the whole territory of Huzhou and the surrounding states outstanding craftsmen as teachers, students can sign up freely, tuition and room and board are free, since the second year to hand in the homework by the school unified sales as tuition and accommodation funds, if the skills are outstanding, you can stay in school to become a technician, or sign a contract with the school, by the school to fund the joint venture store dividends, thus opening the rapid development of Huzhou handicraft industry, leading the beginning of Dongtang.
It was the winter of the year, the former Pugan royal clan Yuezhi clan hermit monk was given a heavenly temple divine revelation, at the foot of the sacred mountain to sit down. According to him, the wish he prayed for in front of the heavenly temple was to ask when the suffering of the people of Pugan would end, and where would the plague and death be for the years.
God told him that he would sit at the foot of the sacred mountain on the day of Sniansi, and that he would give him an answer and give the people of Pugan a chance to be saved.
The people who have climbed the sacred mountain are born to be the spokesmen of the gods that the people believe in, and countless people gathered at the foot of the mountain that day, and when the time came, the monks sat silently. The flames burned out, and when people gathered his ashes, it was discovered that the ashes were in the shape of a poppy flower. It's still black.
And above the poppy, there is a shining relic, and there are words on the relic: Five generations later, the heroine is ominous.
The king of the contemporary Pugan is a woman.
In her palace, under that tower, is the only black poppy in the whole of Pugan.
Some people began to get angry, and some people raised objections, the poppy is the national flower of Pugan, which has saved many people's lives.
The Sanna clan to which the queen belongs, is also one of the Pugan clans, believes in the Great Sun Wheel God, has its own sect, the Long Wheel Sect, the great supernatural power in the sect, and is quite unique in cultivation, and the power is quite strong, but the main forces are concentrated in the middle and upper classes and nobles, and the great power in the sect also often walks the world. In Pugan, the treatment and living standards of the nobles and the common people are very different.
And in the past few years, the great supernatural powers of the Long Wheel Sect have not appeared for a long time for some reason.
It was suggested that sneak into the palace and see what the queen was doing with her poppies.
So it is very strange that the palace that is heavily guarded on weekdays is easy for these civilians to enter.
When he entered, he heard the queen entertaining the guests.
The queen and the guests talked about their admiration for the heavenly kingdom, and showed the guests those exquisite utensils from the East Hall, some of which were exquisite and incoherent, obviously not ordinary people in the East Hall. The queen's palace is extremely luxurious, and the beauty is better than that of the Dongtang Palace, and the heavy taxes paid by the people of Pugan every year are to support the queen's luxurious life. It's just that comparing the poverty and squalor of the Pugan Market is emotional.
During the feast, the two talked about poppies, and the guests praised the beauty of the poppies, lamented the loss of them, and invited the queen to taste the refined tobacco paste he had made from poppies.
The Queen, who was still very enthusiastic and frequently agreed with the views of the guests, refused with some rudeness, and gradually became a little discouraged by the repeated invitations and persuasions of the guests, and finally the guests seemed to joke with her, and after finally clinking glasses with her for the first time, he said that he had quietly put the cigarette paste in her, and asked her if it tasted good.
Then the queen slammed the cup in a gaffe, and her calm and elegant mask was torn in an instant, revealing a shocking hideousness.
At this time, the people who listened to the audience also understood the truth from the queen's extremely taboo attitude.
And the guest smiled and stood up, jokingly asked her, if the poppy is so beautiful and so important, why is His Majesty afraid of it?
Why should you use what your majesty fears to control your people? Not only do you want to harness your people and make them skinny and confused, but you also want to make deals with careerists in other countries, trying to stir up waves in other countries and drag innocent people into hell?
Aren't you afraid that the mighty nation will be angry with the crown, and thousands of troops will set foot on your kingdom, and let your innocent people become unjust souls?
Since you say that it makes people forget their suffering, they are like being immortals.
Then please do it first.
