Chapter 59
Rong Shang's resentment and jealousy, although he did not directly express it, did not deliberately hide it.
Whether other people are aware of it, Yang Xiu doesn't know, but since she was a child, she has been good at observing a person's attitude from the subtleties and figuring out the other party's thoughts, and naturally saw that this general was dissatisfied with Fan Junhaoqiang, especially the Lei family.
But there was nothing she could do.
Yang Xiu also understood in his heart why he had said that he was dressed as simple as possible, but the officials and relatives of Fan County still had to wear silk and satin, with a good jade sword.
On the one hand, she only cares about the Lei family, and can't control the other eleven families, people listen to her to give the Lei family face, and if she doesn't listen to her, she has no problem;
Since Lei Dong, the county guard, is the rubber stamp of the Lei family, it naturally does not have enough deterrent power against other families;
On the other hand, although these heroes of Fan County are accustomed to being powerful in the local area, they are very envious of the prosperity of the imperial capital, and when they hear that the nobles are coming, they naturally have to decorate properly, so as not to be looked down upon by the nobles.
But this group of guys doesn't want to think about it, it's normal for people to look down on you with just a bun on the border. If you are dirty, but not poor, then sorry.
Having money is the original sin.
After all, in these days, if you want to get money, you either rely on fiefdom taxes or business.
The former are all dignitaries, and as for the latter, which one has nothing dirty behind his back? Don't say that one check is accurate, even if you don't check, the court wants to rectify you, can you get out?
Thinking about it a few days ago, she thought that the situation was under control, and the arrival of the princess was a godsend. Thinking about the current crisis, it was obviously a hot day, but Yang Xiu broke out in a cold sweat.
The general can see the wealth of Fan Jun, can't the people around the princess see it?
If this is the case, his set of rhetoric with emotion will not only fail to make the public take the initiative, but will be a real crime of bullying the king.
Although the princess is not a king, who let the princess have a king's festival in her hands?
Lying in front of the messenger of the king's festival is of the same nature as lying in front of the king, at least the head falls to the ground, and the worst is the destruction of the family.
Yin Ji had already found that Yang Xiu had been restless in the past few days, tossing and turning, and had applied a thick layer of fat powder to hide her haggard complexion, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
She said to the standard Wanzi that Yang Xiu has the qualifications of a county guard, which is really good. But even if Yang Xiu can be the county guard, Yin Xiu will not let Yang Xiuzhen be it, and Yang Xiu himself will not be good.
Without him, the first priority of the county guard is to be ruthless and dare to kill.
Although Yin Ji herself does not kill people, this is just the principle she set for herself, the red line she draws. She also knows very well in her heart that sometimes there is no need for heavy punishment, which is not enough to deter people.
Even though the death penalty had become very prudent in her time, the name of the stellar prison was like thunder, and it could stop children from crying at night.
Hollow out a star with no light, no sound. Even if you shout, you won't hear an echo; Keep walking, the southeast, northwest and northwest are all flat and boundless.
In this kind of place, for a lifetime, which one is worse than death?
It's hard to say.
In this era, since there is no such terrible existence as a stellar prison, at most it is a punishment of slavery and a lifetime of coolies, but the nature is not much different.
Zhao Guo and the Six Eastern Kingdoms both began to change the law more than a hundred years ago, but only Zhao Guo succeeded, why?
With the permission of Yin Changying, Yin Ji has seen the history of the royal family of Zhao Kingdom, and knows that Zhao Kingdom has lost seven or eight monarchs in order to change the law.
Some of these kings were forced to commit suicide when their ministers sent troops to surround the palace; Some were swaggered into the palace by "robbers" and killed directly; And one day after eating a bowl of soup, he died.
As for those who die of a "sudden illness", it is more normal.
But the character of the monarchs of the Zhao Kingdom is so strong, the previous monarch was assassinated by the family, and the next monarch will continue to change the law.
It doesn't matter if they are in exile when they are sons, or they are pretending to be grandchildren at home. It doesn't matter if their apparent character is cowardly or arrogant. Anyway, after ascending to the throne, all of them are iron-fisted kings, and they will continue to change the law if they are determined to do so, and they will never be soft when they kill people.
The struggle between King Zhao and the family lasted for more than a hundred years, and after nine generations of kings, finally in the generation of Yin Changying's great-grandfather, the family of Zhao was finally cut to pieces.
Otherwise, Wei Jun collected the land of the whole country and distributed it to the people according to military merits, how could it be so smooth?
If there is a Zhao king who compromises in this process, it will be like the negative textbook next door to Zhu Guo.
Zhu Guo and Zhao Guo began to change the law almost at the same time, but as soon as the last powerful king who supported the change died, the nobles immediately counterattacked, and in front of the spirit of this king, killed Xiangbang, who initiated the change.
The successor monarch saw that the nobles were too strong to be provoked, so he compromised, no longer changed the law, and ruled the world alone with the ministers and doctors.
As a result, the royal power of Zhu Guo is becoming more and more sidelined, the three surnames in the country are dominant, and the people are all reduced to slaves of the three surnames, and the king also needs to rely on the three surnames to survive.
King Zhu may be able to cut off a certain person or branch of the three surnames, but he cannot uproot this surname.
Such a country is declining day by day, and even the national capital has become a county of Zhaoguo, and it is not surprising that several generations of princes have come to Zhaoguo as hostages.
Therefore, for Yang Xiu's predicament, Yin Xi was on the outside, but she saw it more clearly.
The key is that even if Yang Xiu has some domestic slaves in his hands, he doesn't dare to kill.
Of course, Yang Xiu must have dealt with people, slaves, slaves, etc. But in Yin Hui's opinion, none of this worked.
Even the death of a hundred slaves is not a deterrent.
If it was Yin Changying who was in Yang Xiu's position, he would definitely take the strongest person in the clan.
Yin Ji has no doubt that after Yin Changying is in power, if there is a minister sneaky, it will hit him. He just needed to kill the three princes and nine kings, and his relatives were powerful, so he couldn't ask for it.
Thinking of this, after Yin Cheng got out of the car, she beckoned to Yang Xiu.
Biao Wanzi understood, immediately put on a straight face, and ordered: "Yang Xiu, the princess wants to know some common sense of the mine, you, come here, and be responsible for explaining to the princess." ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Xiu.
Rong Shang's heart sank, and secretly said that this woman has the blue eyes of the princess? I heard that this woman is the real helmsman of the Lei family, why don't you put off the letter next time and not talk about the Lei family?
As long as the Lei family can feed him and everyone gets rich together, he can not blame the past.
But thinking of this, Rong Shang secretly shook his head again.
The laws of Zhaoguo do not allow officials to be corrupt, and the princess has great powers, so he can't commit such a taboo under the princess's nose and lose his life for a little profit.
But if he didn't do something, Rong Shang was not very willing.
As for Yang Xiu, she was just like hearing Lunyin, she walked towards the princess nervously, but her heart was even more nervous - where the princess should be useful, what is the place?
