Chapter 1104: Ten Thousand Bone Tomb Phoenix Cries Blood (2)
Wei Yao looked at Da Qiao's family, Da Qiao's family pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's not that you can't ......."
In the evening, the appearance of a white bone pit of 10,000 people in the back mountain spread far and wide, and almost all the nobles who came to participate in the sacrifice to the sky knew about it.
During dinner, Shen Miaoyan deliberately went to Wei Changge's courtyard, "Second cousin." β
Wei Changge was about to eat, and when he saw her coming, he ordered the guards to prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, and there was a little bit of brilliance in the peach blossom eyes, "Why are you here?" β
Shen Miaoyan sat down opposite him, "The white bone pit in the back mountain, my cousin has seen it with his own eyes, right?" There is also the one-legged monk Hongyun, who must have seen my cousin too. β
Wei Changge nodded heavily, "I never knew that such an unbelievable thing would happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven. β
"I don't know what the imperial brother's attitude is to this matter?" Shen Miaoyan is right.
Wei Changge drank a glass of wine, his eyes were full of heaviness: "This matter is not trivial, the imperial brother was furious, and ordered King Lin'an to enter Beijing on the same day." β
Shen Miaoyan bowed slightly, "If he comes, the imperial brother can take advantage of the situation to restrain him." If he didn't come, he would give the imperial brother an excuse to go south. β
Wei Changge sighed, "The world only says that Great Wei is strong, in fact, only those who sit in high positions understand that Wei is not as powerful as it seems on the surface. The Central Plains is in turmoil, and so is the Great Wei. β
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Miaoyan, and saw that this girl was wearing a lotus pink stand-up collar placket dress, and her white jade-like face became more and more charming under the background of the pink collar, like a hibiscus that was about to open.
He felt a lot of pity in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her face, "Don't worry, whether it's the imperial brother or me, I will protect you well." You're my fiancΓ©e, but you're also the sister we've been thinking about for more than 20 years. β
His movements are very gentle, not mixed with too much Fengyue in it, but more of a pity and cherishment for his young sister.
Shen Miaoyan felt that his palm was very warm, and subconsciously moved closer.
She closed her eyes, her butterfly-winged eyelashes slightly moist.
That's what it feels like to be home, that's what it's like to be protected by your family.
That's nice......
Since they protect her with their lives, she will also protect her family until death!
Following.
The weather was gloomy, and before dawn, a palace maid came to report: "County Lord, the emperor has instructed everyone to go to the back mountain to gather immediately." β
Shen Miaoyan sat up from the bed, said hello, and asked the little palace maid to serve her to freshen up.
The little palace maid took a set of cherry pink palace skirts and was about to put them on for her, she walked barefoot to the wardrobe and took out a plain white cardigan skirt from it.
The little palace maid was puzzled: "County Lord, wouldn't it be bad to wear such plain?" β
"No, it won't." Shen Miaoyan's voice was faint, she went to the screen to change her clothes, walked to the dresser again, and simply combed her hair into a bun.
The little palace maid frowned, afraid that she would lose her color among the young ladies, so she picked up a pure gold title pearl phoenix hairpin and was about to insert it for her.
She raised her hand to block it, only took a simple white porcelain bead silver hairpin hairpin, did not apply fat powder to her face, got up and tied a thin azure cloak, and walked out of the courtyard.
Several little palace maids looked at each other, and in the end, no one dared to say more, so they had to keep up.
When I came to the back mountain, I was almost there.
The ladies and ladies are all full of pearls and flowers, and all kinds of fat and fragrant smells are diffused all over the body.
Shen Miaoyan is dressed plainly, and in a pile of red and gold, it is particularly eye-catching.
Qiao Bao'er was annoyed, "Wei Tianjue, you are so scheming! I even calculated that we would all wear gold and silver, and in order to show your beauty, I specially changed into plain clothes! β
Shen Miaoyan glanced at her like an idiot, and walked to the front.
After a while, the emperor Wei Chengyang, the queen Xiao Qiao, and the little prince also arrived, and everyone looked over, and they were also wearing plain clothes!
Everyone was worried, and they knelt down to bow down one after another, shouting long live.
Wei Chengyang's gaze swept over everyone, among so many people, only a few were wearing light-colored clothes and did not wear luxurious hair accessories.
He stroked his beard, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, "I think you have all heard of the matter of the white bone pit of ten thousand people. β
"Back to the emperor, after the ministers heard about this, they were also very sad in their hearts."
The people below remained on their knees and responded in unison.
Wei Chengyang's breath suddenly turned cold: "Since you know the grief in your heart, why do you still wear gold and silver today?!" β
Everyone shrank back, and their hearts were shocked.
Wei Chengyang has always been elegant, but it is rare for Great Wei to see a gentle-tempered emperor, and today he is so angry......
Wei Chengyang turned to those bureaucrats and reprimanded sharply: "The people of this world are my people, and they should also be the objects of your compassion!" If you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, what use do I want you to do?! Why do the people of the world pay taxes on their hard-earned money? Is it just to feed you rice buckets?! β
"As the saying goes, water can carry boats and can also capsize boats, if you don't take them seriously, one day, they won't take you seriously!"
Wei Chengyang was so angry that he couldn't help coughing heavily.
Xiao Qiaoshi hurriedly patted him on the back and comforted him.
Wei Chengyang breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly: "Everyone, follow me to the mass grave to keep the spirit for a day." β
After that, he took the lead in going to the mass grave.
Shen Miaoyan calmly got up and followed.
Some of the delicate and frail girls around him were immediately dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "It's just some cheap slaves, why do you want us to keep a vigil for them?" β
"yes, it's going to be a whole day! I didn't have enough to eat in the morning, so I hurried over, and I don't know if I had anything to eat at noon......"
"I think the emperor is crazy, let us noble people, guard the spirits of those lowly people, what does he think?!"
Shen Miaoyan did not squint and remained silent.
There are many families in the Wei State, and most of the eunuchs in the court are hereditary, and they have never come into contact with the lowest people, so they have never known the suffering of the people.
As the saying goes, there is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade, which is the case.
No wonder the Ghost Emperor said that the Great Wei Dynasty had accumulated a lot of disadvantages, but now that I see it, it is imminent for the DPRK to implement a new policy and re-elect officials!
If it goes on like this, it will be quite difficult to conquer the Central Plains, even if it is its own development.
She thought, and unconsciously walked to the mass grave with the crowd.
Wei Chengyang did not let people bury the white bones, but just let these officials and nobles in the court look at it.
He wanted these people to know about the sufferings of the world, but when he looked back, he saw that these people were either afraid, shocked, or numb, but there was no sympathy or pity.
Shen Miaoyan also noticed the expressions of these people, and felt a pang of pain in his heart, the people still hoped that these officials could make decisions for them, but they didn't know what kind of officials they gave hope to.
She walked to the front in silence, and knelt down in front of the white bones under the curious eyes of everyone.
