Chapter 601: Thankless
"What's more, this is a long-term process, since ancient times there will be good and evil, there is a good saying, the water is clear, there are no fish, if all the rich are good-hearted people, will the people ensure that they are as obedient and sensible as they are now?"
"Once a person is too peaceful, their minds will change, and now they call that person a chivalrous warrior one by one, but after a few days when the white-clothed chivalrous man is gone, they find that their life is not as good as before."
"I will definitely blame the knight in white, and it will be thankless when the time comes, is this what you want to see?"
Nie Jingyang sighed lightly.
Under the small candlelight, flickering, a warmth spread between the two, he looked up at Lu Qingrong under the soft light, tonight she seems to be more attractive than before, more attractive.
It was he who was impulsive for a while, and he didn't think about what would happen in the future.
He came here only for a while, and after a while he would leave, and when that time came, the poor people would surely return to the old days.
"Lady, don't worry, there will be no more thieves from now on."
"Actually, it's good that this thief disappears now, while the matter hasn't made trouble yet, the big court shouldn't care too much, and if it goes on like this, the court will definitely carry it out."
Seeing that Nie Jingyang was not in a very good mood, "I know that you have the heart to serve the people, but you also have to use the right method, now in this situation, as long as the emperor reigns for one day, if you want to make the people rich, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing." ”
"I heard that a few days ago, the emperor sealed the six palaces to be extremely luxurious, and most of the money was used on the pomp, and then there was to repair the mansion for a few princes, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the treasury will be empty again."
Nie Jingyang told himself that he had already withdrawn from the court.
No matter what happened in the court, it had nothing to do with him, but he still couldn't help but worry.
After all, if something happens to the court, it will be the people who are not good first.
"Presumably the emperor will not do too much, the court was used to being poor before, and now that he has a little money, it is also possible to get carried away for a while, and when there is no money, the emperor will know that it is uncomfortable, and besides, there are still many ministers in the court, if the emperor does too much, they will definitely give a reminder."
When Nie Jingyang said this, he didn't believe it.
What's more, it's Lu Qingrong.
It is true that there will be ministers who will remind him, but will the emperor listen to it?
Isn't it reasonable for this Gale Six Palaces to pay attention to some pomp and circumstance?
Shouldn't courtiers be rewarded for their merits?
If this is the case, who will use the land to do things for the court in the future?
The emperor has been in power for so many years, and these thoughts are always there, even if there are upright ministers who speak upright, the effect is very small.
"I heard a letter from my second cousin that the emperor plans to go hunting in the hunting grounds in March, and then it will be a waste of money and a lot of money."
Nie Jingyang turned to look at Lu Qingrong, with doubts and scrutiny in his eyebrows, and the lady had something to say.
"Lady, you seem to have something to say."
Lu Qingrong looked at Nie Jingyang with a straight face, he had already said so much today, it was better to spread it out, "I do have something to tell you, what do you think of the emperor now?" ”
"Why should the lady ask so much?"
The emperor is suspicious, extravagant, cunning, and affectionate, although he can't be said to be a faint king, but it's not much better.
"Then do you think that if the crown prince and the five princes, one of them ascends the throne, the general situation in the world will change?"
Nie Jingyang's face was a little more careless, "Lady, the Xuanguo Mansion has always been loyal to the monarch and the country. ”
"Do you think I'm trying to usurp the throne?"
Nie Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was a little puzzled, what did the lady mean in her words?
"What did the lady say just now?"
"We have offended the five princes thoroughly, so if the five princes ascend to the throne, it must not be a good thing for the Xuanguo Mansion, and it is not a good thing for the people."
"On the prince's side, I said something unlucky, although the prince looks much better and looks the same as normal, but after all, he has been weak for so many years before, and it is impossible to fully recover."
"I don't know who he or the emperor can live a long time, if it is the prince, if he is too weak to sit in that position, who can take the position of the prince? Is it the Shen family? What do you think of the Shen family? ”
is not optimistic about the Shen family's Nie Jingyang, "Shen Shangshu is a smooth official and attaches great importance to fame and fortune, and is the same as Li Chengxiang, if the prince is not good, then naturally he should be succeeded by the grandson, and this Shen Shangshu is not a person who can tolerate people." ”
"When the time comes, I am afraid that there will be batches of people in the court, but it will make people panic, and it is not a good thing for the prince to ascend the throne."
Nie Jingyang had already vaguely guessed what Lu Qingrong wanted to say, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
"Is the lady planning to support others?"
"It's not that I'm planning to do so, but you're not already planning to?"
Nie Jingyang subconsciously frowned and then stretched out again, "Lady, sometimes I really think you are too clear. ”
Lu Qingrong smiled, "So are you planning to support the Six Princes?" ”
"The sixth prince is twelve years old this year, he has reached the age of sensibility, if he ascends to the position in a few years, it is not impossible, and everyone knows that the six princes are naughty and mischievous, and they don't like to read the most on weekdays, but I see that it may not be, these six princes are also clear-minded, I am afraid that he is in Taoguang to raise obscurity, and he can grow up safely in the palace where he eats people and does not spit out bones, which shows his ability."
The last time at the palace banquet, when Lu Qingrong first came into contact with the Six Princes, he had already noticed that this child was not simple.
He can easily see through Li Xuewei's layout, and he can also come up with a solution, and he can take the opportunity to get rid of the people who are planted around him, this little guy is definitely not simple.
Compared with the words of the fifth prince and the crown prince, Lu Qingrong is more optimistic about this little guy.
It is a black-bellied lord who eats people and does not spit out bones.
It's just that what his heart is, Lu Qingrong is difficult to judge for a while.
"I heard my sister say that Concubine Shu has always disliked her mother, and her mother doesn't like Concubine Shu very much, and it is common for the two to quarrel as soon as they meet, because Concubine Shu also took a fancy to her father back then, but in the end she entered the palace."
"But on the other hand, it is a bit unreasonable to say that the concubine is very good to her sister, and her mother is also very good to the six princes and the fourth princess, if the two are really like fire and water, how can they be so good to each other's children?"
