Chapter 2: Killing His Father and Killing His Brother Wei Changhuan ( 2 )
This approach has made her less controversial, but even if she forcibly interferes in politics, others dare not say anything, after all, it is better to die than to live.
The methods used by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to punish the tongue-in-cheek have been seen with their own eyes.
The tongue of a living person is uprooted, and then his mouth is sewn up with needle and thread.
After such a long time, I still can't stop trembling when I think about it.
"Your Majesty."
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up, and Li Chong, the Ministry of Rites, was one of the very few officials who was not killed.
He had a beard, was about forty years old, and looked a little rough, although he looked a little different from ordinary literati, but he had a lot of ink in his stomach.
He also has some sincerity for the people, which is why he has survived to this day.
"What is the matter with Li Aiqing?"
Wei Changday's voice was cold, but low and magnetic.
"Your Majesty."
Li Chong knelt down, holding the wat board in both hands, kneeling straight and straight, with a little worry in his eyes.
"There has been no snow in South Vietnam for 12 years, and this year's winter snow is too urgent, although the emperor has just ascended the throne and reduced taxes for three years, there are still many people who are hungry, and I am afraid that after this snow, many people will starve to death on the streets."
"What Li Aiqing said is very true."
Wei Changtian nodded and glanced at His Highness's courtiers.
For a moment, a smile appeared.
"It's better to do this, I will allocate 5,000 taels from the treasury, and the rest of the officials above the third rank will each pay 1,000 taels, 500 taels above the fifth rank and below the third rank, and 100 taels below the fifth grade."
"This ......"
His Royal Highness suddenly burst into discussions, making it clear that he had doubts about this matter, but it was difficult to raise it in person due to the majesty of the people in the high hall.
"The eldest princess's mansion will give you ten thousand taels."
Chang Huan behind the curtain opened his eyes, and a cold voice reverberated throughout the hall.
"The emperor has just ascended the throne, and the treasury is not rich, so the money in the treasury cannot be moved, and nothing can be done."
Chang Huan's voice was slow and orderly, but there was always an unquestionable order, even if they didn't look at the expressions of the people behind the curtain, they also felt the coercion that flowed out of their bones and was only available to the superiors.
"If there is any doubt about Zhong Aiqing, you can put it forward together."
All the civil and military officials knelt down in panic, pressed their heads very low, and said in unison, "...... There is no doubt about the ministers. ”
The eldest princess has said this part, if they say that there are doubts again, it will be simply dead.
"In that case, this matter will be handled by Lord Li, and if after this winter, let this palace find a starving ordinary person on the street, and you don't have to keep your head on your neck."
"Minister, you must do your best."
Li Chong knelt down and took over the burden, although he knew the consequences of not being able to complete it, but he also knew that this was a person in a higher position, and he was trying to win people's hearts for his brother!
Wang He, the chief eunuch, stood up with a sharp voice, "There is a book, and there is nothing to retreat from." ”
"Ministers and others send off the emperor, long live long live, long live, long live, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, long live long live, long live, long live."
After getting off the court, Chang Huan stood at the door of the imperial study, watching the snow outside getting heavier and heavier, Wei Chang Yan walked out of the study and put on a coat for her, "It's cold, sister Huang, you wear more." ”
Chang Huan didn't speak, just stared ahead, Wei Chang was not annoyed, he waited quietly, and after a long time, "From today on, the emperor will start to deal with government affairs by himself." ”
"Sister Huang!" Wei Changday's eyes gradually widened, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, "Who said what?" I immediately arrested him. ”
"No one has said anything, you were young when this palace first came to power, and now you will be seventeen after the New Year."
Chang Huan spoke without hurry, and his tone was always indifferent to everything in the world.
"But the royal sister ......"
"It's nothing."
Chang Huan turned his head to stare at him, there was no special emotion in his eyes.
"The way of being a king is to rely on yourself to comprehend and learn by yourself, what this palace can teach you is only the dead knowledge in the book, you must know how to learn and use it, rather than blindly copying it."
"But I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be an ordinary person."
This was the first time Wei Changtian had said such a thing to his sister, he was a little nervous, with temptation in his star-like eyes, and the awe of his sister hidden in his eyes.
"Sister, when we were in the cold palace, didn't life be easy?"
"Why do we rebel in the name of the Qing monarch, why do we want to be spurned by the world."
"How?"
For Wei Changtian's rebellious words, Chang Huan did not have a trace of anger on her face, her eyes were always unwavering, she paused slightly, turned her head and continued to look at the flying snow outside.
"Can't take it so quickly? It's been less than a year, and the man's expectations are about to be disappointed. ”
"Who's that man?"
Wei Changtian grabbed the corner of Chang Huan's clothes, his tone trembled a little, with a desire for the truth in his eyes, he was eager to know everything, but the person in front of him always hid everything.
Chang Huan didn't answer her brother's words, she pulled out her robe, picked up the umbrella leaning against the corner, and paused after opening it, "Bengong is back, don't be lazy, Bengong will spot check." ”
Wei Changday's eyes were a little bloodshot, his legs rushed into the snow as if uncontrollably, and he shouted angrily at the red Qianying, "Why are you always like this, what do you want?" How long are you going to push me?"
“……”
Changhuan's footsteps did not stop, she still walked towards the front unhurriedly, the long headless palace wall, the arrogant and cold back, she walked so slowly, so firmly, but so helpless.
You always say, I'm forcing you, but I'm never the one who pushes you.
Wei Changtian saw that the familiar back gradually disappeared from sight, and he finally couldn't stand it, knelt in the snow, covered his face and cried.
In that winter snow, the young emperor cried so heartbreakingly, full of sadness and nowhere to vent, there was only endless responsibility on him, the responsibility of being an emperor.
Chang Huan was like an emotionless ice cube, step by step out of the palace wall of Chongyong Hundred Pheasants.
The world said that the heart of the eldest princess of South Vietnam was cold, because she had killed her biological father and siblings.
Chang Huan's attitude towards this turned a deaf ear, as if nothing could arouse her interest.
The man in the snow saw the familiar figure at the gate of the palace, and without hesitation for a moment, he ran over quickly and knelt down in front of her.
"Master."
The man's voice was not very good, and could even be described as unpleasant, like the sound of weapons colliding with weapons.
