Chapter 138: History Recalled
Xiangli came over, she had also seen Emperor Li Jing and Prince Junxia of Baibu from a distance, and her eyes were wide open, and she almost screamed, but naturally she still held on.
Pan Zhangshi was a little puzzled when he saw Ying Shu's reaction, "What's wrong with the girl?" β
"Not really. Not much. Ying Shu waved her hand, left the house, and left through the back door after instructing Steward Pan a few words. Seeing that it was still early, Yingshu planned to go back to her parents' house.
"Girl, you have seen Your Majesty, why don't you invite Your Majesty in?"
"You're stupid!" Ying Shu poked Xiangli's forehead, "Since Your Majesty is a micro-suit, it means that Your Majesty doesn't want to be discovered, since Your Majesty is discovered, then if I invite you in, isn't it equivalent to piercing Your Majesty, isn't this a good thing for Your Majesty?" β
Xiangli suddenly realized, "Alas, it seems to be like this." β
"It's just that I'm strange, how can Your Majesty be able to come out of it? And it's just that he comes out, how can he be with ...... What about Prince Junxia? β
Xiangli was also puzzled: "Yes, it looks like the person who can't be beaten with eight poles." If you want to say that Your Majesty brought people out to experience the joy of the people, it should be Concubine Park or the queen, no matter how bad it is, it is Zhou Guifei! β
Ying Shu shook her head, she really couldn't think of it, and looking at the two of them so close, they looked like friends who had been together for a long time, but they couldn't get in touch with each other.
"It's been a long time since I've been home, and I don't know how my grandmother is doing at home?" Yingshu was full of concern for her grandmother, and she was glad that she could come out of the princess's mansion to breathe fresh and free air, looking at the scenery along the way, she naturally felt pleasing to the eye and a comfortable mood.
The streets of the capital are still familiar, people come and go, Yingshu even thinks that there are more people here than in the past, think about it carefully, and can't help blurting out: "How can you see, there are more people from Baibu?" Why is that? β
Xiangli was puzzled: "White department? Aren't these all our big people? β
"No, no, no." Ying Shu began to question whether Xiangli's carefulness in the past was true or false, "Xiangli, you can't just look at the surface of everything, you see that although they are wearing white clothes, you can look at their faces, they are mostly angular, and their actions and words are quite casual." Our big man is more gentle than the white one, and his behavior etiquette is more thorough. Listening to the accent again, it is obviously not quite the same as what we said, a little rough. β
Xiangli even gave a thumbs up to Ying Shu to express her praise.
When she arrived at Wang's mansion, Mrs. Wang obviously didn't expect Ying Shu to come suddenly, but she was very happy to see Ying Shu, so she only hugged Ying Shu and looked up and down, "Didn't you say that you went to Changlan Yard?" How did you get here? Don't have to serve? Can the eldest princess allow it? β
Mrs. Wang's four questions in a row Yingshu was dizzy, she looked at Mrs. Wang, patiently stiffened and explained these facts clearly, Mrs. Wang was relieved, and then ordered Yingshu to sit down.
"I thought you came here secretly, and if so, I'd have to send you back." Mrs. Wang was very uneasy about Yingshu, and when Yingshu just entered the door, Mrs. Wang looked at Yingshu almost like a county lord interrogating a prisoner, making Yingshu feel as if she had made a mistake.
Ying Shu leaned over very dissatisfied: "Grandmother, why are you doing this as if I made something wrong." Am I so stubborn in your eyes? β
Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Wang with disgust: "Isn't it?" Once upon a time, you sneaked to the bubble tea shop, don't think I don't know. β
Yingshu: "??? How many years ago! How do you still remember it so clearly? β
"How many years? It's not been many years, you little slippery head, don't let me not remember. Mrs. Wang shook her fan, very disgusted.
Ying Shu smiled "hehe", and as usual, she approached Mrs. Wang like a squirrel, and after a sticky meal, Mrs. Wang was amused.
"Grandmother, I'm from the teahouse today. Look at it along the way, why are there so many people in the white department? It's strange that we've all dressed up. β
Mrs. Wang disagreed, and said very normally: "It's not an unusual thing." Once upon a time when I was in the capital, I could always see things like this. Every time the White Ministry paid tribute, many White people entered the capital, either to do business, or to eat and drink, and His Majesty gave them enough preferential treatment. β
"Preferential?" Ying Shu became interested, "What kind of preferential treatment?" I see that those white people think of us here as if they are their own country, but they are at ease. Spending money and so on is also chic, very rich. β
"And they don't have to spend their own money, can they not be chic?" Old Lady Wang said coldly.
"Don't spend your own money? Could it be that His Majesty gave it! Ying Shu smiled.
"Oh, you guessed right." Mrs. Wang's hand playing with the fan pendant suddenly stopped, she put down the fan and looked at Ying Shu very seriously.
Ying Shu was puzzled, "Really? Isn't that a joke? There are so many white people, how can the silver of the treasury be given to outsiders? "Although the White Department and the Great Rice Department have always been friendly and fraternal states, the treasury of the people of the whole country should not be given to outsiders casually, and every time the White Department pays tribute, the Great New will give back more silver money and treasures to the White Department, which is enough.
"This matter is still a rule set by the first emperor. It's just that in the past, there were very few people who came with Baibu every time, so the first emperor Suzong ordered that all the people of Baibu who entered the capital to pay tribute to the Baibu Dynasty could live in the hotel and eat for free. All the money was subsidized by the state treasury after the departure of the white people. It's just ......," Mrs. Wang sighed, "It's just that at that time, there weren't many people from Baibu, and Daxin could still afford it." Moreover, with the thunderous methods of the first emperor, which official dared to be greedy for the people's money? Nowadays......"
Although Mrs. Wang did not continue, it was no different from what she said. Compared with the past, the scale of the white department entering the palace is larger, and there are more people from the white department entering the capital. And the emperor himself showed the people and ministers a gentle appearance, and the partial emperor trusted Wang Zhen as an internal prisoner, which led to the officials being attached to Wang Zhen to get power, and the officials rarely cared about the life and death of the people, and only cared about hiding the silver themselves.
In this way, the people of the white department eat and live in vain, but they bear the burden of the people, but they are afraid that they will be miserable.
"It's really white, eat and drink for nothing." Ying Shu sighed.
"In this world, looking at the flowers and brocade, the fire is cooking oil, inside, it is not as peaceful as the first emperor in those days, and he is rich on the surface." Mrs. Wang sighed, "I don't know how Concubine Chunxi will feel when she knows that her son has become like this." β
Ying Shu suddenly felt very ashamed, since she came to ancient times, she has been enjoying the life of the ancient lady and grandmother, as if she has successfully entered the upper class of this world without doing anything, holding wealth, and the social circle is either rich or expensive. She has always felt that the great Xin in front of her should be a prosperous and prosperous world, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the culture is prosperous, the economy is strong, it should be the heavenly kingdom that everyone yearns for, and the elegance of a great country should be displayed everywhere. However, at this moment, I realized that what I saw in my eyes was actually only a superficial letter, just a few people's words.
The real Daxin may be glimpsed in the people on the streets.
It seems that I have never paid attention to the people at the bottom before.
"At all times, it is the people who suffer." Mrs. Wang shook her fan, "Over the years, looking at Bai Bu has become even more arrogant." β
"That'...... Your Majesty doesn't know? β
"Who knows?" Mrs. Wang thought about it for a while, and then looked at Ying Shu: "It's good that you understand these things in your heart." Don't let anyone know, don't even tell Shen Bin, unless Shen Bin takes the initiative to tell you like this, don't say it yourself. β
Ying Shu was a little confused, and Mrs. Wang said again: "People, although the days are their own." But there must be other people's days in his eyes, not for anything else, just to cherish what he has. β
Ying Shu got up very solemnly and blessed her, "What grandmother said, granddaughter understands." β
"It's good to understand." Old Madam Wang nodded, "Grandmother also hopes that you can live a better life." You are married, you are not by my side, and I am afraid that you will have to rely on yourself for everything. β
Ying Shu was naturally moved, that is, she snuggled up to Mrs. Wang like a little squirrel, coveting the warmth and support given to her by her beloved grandmother.
"Grandmother, I don't know, where did the eldest lady go? Can you be in the house? β
"She went to King Cheng's Mansion today, and since your eldest sister was pregnant, she can't wait to live in King Cheng's Mansion. Especially these days, King Cheng went to Changlan. β
Ying Shu smiled: "Isn't it?" The eldest lady also sent someone to send me a letter, teaching me to look at His Royal Highness King Cheng, and not to teach His Royal Highness to mess with flowers and grass in Changlan. β
Old Mrs. Wang was also amused, "You big lady, you understand big things, but this kind of thing is confused." If His Royal Highness King Cheng has taken a fancy to anyone, how can she manage it? β
"Not really." Ying Shu shook her fan to Mrs. Wang, "Speaking of which, the eldest lady is also busy, and she has to prepare for Zhan Zhan's marriage, and she has to care about the eldest sister's body, I'm afraid that one person will be the call of two people." By the way, what date is set? β
Mrs. Wang thought, "I'll have to wait until Bai is gone." Now that the white department is here, it's always hard to plan. β
Ying Shu calculated, "Speaking of which, it will take a month to complete!" β
Speaking of Baibu, Ying Shu unconsciously remembered the emperor and Prince Junxia's micro-suit tour, she thought about it for a while, and still asked Mrs. Wang, "Grandmother, Your Majesty...... And Prince Junxia, it looks like it's intimate. β
Old Lady Wang nodded: "How do you know?" β
"On my way back, I went to the teahouse and watched His Majesty and Prince Junxia queuing at the door. That's when I was curious. β
Old Mrs. Wang was very anxious: "You invited Your Majesty in?" β
"Nope. If Your Majesty finds out, I'm afraid Your Majesty will blame me. Anyway, Your Majesty was going to line up himself, so I pretended not to know anything and slipped out the back door. β
Mrs. Wang was very relieved: "Even if you are smart, I am really afraid that you will invite Your Majesty in without turning a corner." β
"If you want to talk about Your Majesty, didn't you say that Your Majesty's biological mother, Concubine Chunxi, had a good relationship with Queen Zhulan of the White Department? There have been a few times when Zhulan brought Prince Junxia into the palace to congratulate him, and according to his seniority, Prince Junxia and His Majesty are brothers. And Prince Junxia is modest and polite, but he is liked, and His Majesty is naturally satisfied. Therefore, the feelings are better. And Prince Junxia once helped His Majesty test for poison, which can be regarded as saving His Majesty's life. Mrs. Wang thought back and answered Yingshu's question.
"Huh?" Ying Shu was shocked, "There is still such a thing?" β
"Is it good for you to be Your Majesty, a prince without a biological mother? At the beginning, the Kansai party wanted to depose His Majesty as the crown prince, and some people even said that they wanted your brother-in-law to be the prince. At that time, I was less radical, but I was thinking about poisoning and murder! Fortunately, the little prince of Junxia saw it, but he was poisoned by mistake, and His Majesty felt indebted in his heart, so he naturally felt grateful. β
There was a lot of information, and Ying Shu said that she was a little dizzy.
"Want to make King Cheng's brother-in-law the crown prince? It's just that look, Your Majesty is now a brother and brother of King Cheng's brother-in-law, and it doesn't look like a ......" Ying Shu was shocked, "If King Cheng's brother-in-law was once the prince, how could he still be prosperous and rich today?" Even if they are raised together under the knees of the Chunxi concubine, I am afraid that they will turn against each other! β
Old Madam Wang also shook her head, "This is the unguessable part of Your Majesty's mind!" Otherwise, how can people say that His Majesty is a pure man and has a lot of heart. It's just that everyone says that His Majesty is generous, but how can he treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Hey......" Mrs. Wang just sighed, but she stopped when she said it deeper, she thought about it, if it wasn't for Yingshu, she might not say some things for the rest of her life.
The White Ministry, the King of Cheng, the Emperor, and the White Ministry sucked the blood of the people in the capital. This information and words once again appeared in her mind, and Ying Shu always felt inexplicably familiar, as if these were connected in one way or another......
Surrounded by these terms, Yingshu remembered more and more clearly that she had seen records about these in modern history books, and it was very important...... Once again, she tried to find out the connection from her hidden memories, but she was too eager, but she felt a headache and swelling.
"Sister Shu, what's wrong?" Old Lady Wang pulled Yingshu back from her contemplation.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Ying Shu casually made up a reason to prevaricate, "I think His Majesty ordered us to prepare the wine for Baibe, I was a little tired, and I had a headache for a while." β
"Well, that's just as well. I heard that this year, His Majesty ordered to give more treasures to the White Department, more than in previous years, so naturally you have to work hard. Mrs. Wang looked at Ying Shu very distressedly.
"Yes, the reward is more than the previous customization." Ying Shu echoed.
Suddenly, the memories in Yingshu's mind resurfaced, and those nouns and events were associated with each other again.
It is because the rewards are abundant, and the rewards are more than in previous years. However, Wang Zhen, the inner supervisor trusted by Emperor Li Jing, secretly withheld what Bai was entitled to, causing Bai Bu to be angry and make trouble at the border. At the same time, the people inside Daxin complained because of the white department's oppression of the government and the refusal to reimburse the money. Wang Zhenli persuaded the emperor to drive the expedition in person, resulting in the Xin army being captured and defeated in Crescent Fort, and the emperor being taken captive......
"No way!" Ying Shu stood up suddenly, but the history she finally remembered was so cruel and so turbulent.
"Sister Shu, what's wrong?" Mrs. Wang looked at Yingshu, "But you're not feeling well?" β
Mrs. Wang's eyes were gentle, and at the same time she was full of concern, very kind and warm, which slightly eased Yingshu's flustered heart.
"No, not really." Ying Shu tried her best not to behave abnormally in front of Mrs. Wang, "I said that I can't think about the things in the palace when I go home like this." Tired panic. Ying Shu leaned on Mrs. Wang's arms, very dependent: "Grandmother, you say, will people like us always be stable?" β
Mrs. Wang thought about it seriously, "Naturally not, wealth will not last long, but fortunately, now your two younger brothers are neat, and the country is too peaceful, our generations can enjoy a good life." β
It's a pity that such a good day will soon come to an end.
And Yingshu is very soberly aware that she doesn't have to work as hard to change history as the heroine in the time-travel. Because if you can change history as a self that has traveled through time, then you will not see the original record at all after thousands of years, and you will not even exist. History is a foregone conclusion, and if you can change it by yourself, it is a rare thing.
What's more, if this history is precisely because of his blind mixing will lead to the records of future generations, wouldn't he regret his death?
His family members are all civil officials, and Shen Bin is just a symbolic little military attachΓ©, even if there is a war, there should be nothing to do......
