Chapter Forty-Nine: Shen Luan Has Changed

"There is only one major event recently, which is to compile a new criminal prison law, and you will sort out all the prisons of the Heavenly Holy Dynasty today,"

Wang Wenyun picked up the paper ball, raised his head and glanced at her,

Mu Qianyan was extremely nervous in his heart, wanting to see the paper ball, but he didn't dare to attract Wang Wenyun's attention too obviously.

"Got it, I'm going to sort it out today,"

Mu Qianyan swallowed his saliva and agreed again and again.

Wang Wenyun held the note in his hand casually, as if it could be thrown away at any time.

She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her grandfather confiscated her small plane when he taught her articles, and the small plane still painted the appearance of her grandfather's murderer.

After Wang Wenyun finished speaking, he pinched the paper ball and played with it in his hand, as if this had caught his attention.

He rubbed the ball of paper with one hand and looked at her again.

Mu Qianyan quickly lowered her head, if Wang Wenyun found out about her relationship with Shen Luan, she might not be able to stay here.

After all, the eunuch and Shen Luan are mortal enemies, and Wang Wenyun has no reason not to drive her away.

Wang Wenyun rubbed a corner with his thumb, and looked at his expression as if he was not interested.

"Write well,"

Wang Wenyun didn't open it in the end, he lined up the paper ball on the table of Mu Qianyan's face, and walked away without looking back with his hands behind his back.

Mu Qianyan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, crossed the table and took the paper ball.

She sat down slowly on the table, a little weak.

How is Shen Luan now?

Spreading the crumpled paper, she rubbed it flat with her hands, but it was still crumpled.

She touched the two words lightly, and her heart was troubled and anxious.

There was a sudden knock in front of the door, which frightened Mu Qianyan and put away the crumpled piece of paper and stuffed it into his sleeve in a hurry.

Wang Wenyun drooped a face,

"Do things!"

"I know, I know, I'll do it!"

Mu Qianyan was so busy that he touched a book and immediately lowered his head and studied it carefully.

The old dust from the book instantly entered her nasal cavity, and her nose itched.

Wang Wenyun seemed to be afraid that she would be lazy, so he watched her pretend at the door for a long time before leaving with a black face.

Chewie!

Finally waited for Wang Wenyun to leave, Mu Qianyun instantly threw down the book, bent down and sneezed loudly.

Is this Wang Wenyun looking at the little doll, and she is still supervising there, which makes her uncomfortable.

But why is the Taishi Yuan going to repair the prison again?

Since the founding of Daye, there have only been two revisions and revisions of major prisons.

One was when Taizu founded the country, and the other was when the eunuchs presided over the revision five years ago.

Compared with the law of Taizu's time, which was lenient and suitable for people's minds, the prison when the eunuch was completely untroubled.

Under this prison, there are many cool officials, and the methods are appalling, and some people even take the blame on themselves in order to avoid the punishment that makes life worse than death.

Such things were not uncommon, and even became a tool for eunuchs to attack political opponents.

Use this law to send people who oppose eunuchs to prison, torture them to extract confessions, and when the other party can't bear it, they take the initiative to confess.

There are many laws of the Heavenly Sage, and the early stage is also a light punishment, and there are few capital crimes, and in the eyes of the struggle for power and profit in the back, it leads to disorder in the government and government, and the punishment has become chaotic and inconsiderate, and many things are also accompanied by the appearance of harsh punishment by cool officials.

The one she kept in her hand was the Tiansheng Hongguang period, and after Hongguang was the Guangde period, and it was also the last year of the Tiansheng.

"In the fifteenth year of Hongguang, the whole country reduced the tax, made a yellow book, equalized the fields, and punished him heavily, so as to fix the displaced people and put them in trouble."

Mu Qianyan saw from above, this was the punishment of the end of the Heavenly Sage.

The emperor at that time was Xiao Que, who should have been in his sixties at that time.

Even though it is Daye now, there are still rumors of Emperor Hongguang's deeds of being diligent and loving the people, and treating the people as if they were his own children.

Mu Qianyan licked her lips,

Emperor Hongguang has read poetry and books since he was a child, and when he was born in the most glorious time of the Tiansheng Dynasty, he had a great ambition, and after he became in power, he governed the Tiansheng in an orderly and prosperous manner.

But the peak also inevitably means decline, and there is a great calamity hidden in the prosperity of the Heavenly Sage.

With the development of the commercial economy at that time, land annexation became more and more frequent. Many peasants who originally had land but had meager incomes have lost their land and no source of income, but they still have to pay the government's Dingkou tax.

Not to mention that some have to farm for the landlord and suffer from exploitation.

The peasants, who had no livelihood, could only wander, and gradually formed a strong tide of displaced people, which flowed around the country, causing great chaos.

At the same time, these peasants left their places of residence and wandered around, and the official uniforms naturally did not collect taxes, and the state finances soon fell into deficit. In order to alleviate this situation, Emperor Hongguang reduced forced labor, reduced taxes, divided the people's land, reduced punishments, and made efforts to make the people recuperate and reduce the burden on the people.

But he still didn't succeed in the end, and he died depressed.

When the Heavenly Sage was handed over to him, there were actually a lot of problems, and they couldn't be saved at all.

After his death, the crown prince Xiao Sheng succeeded to the throne, and on the second day of Xiao Sheng's succession, Daye's army entered the city and Xiao Sheng surrendered.

Mu Qianyan rubbed the piece of paper a little melancholy, she felt that the punishment in Hongguang could be more serious, the role of punishment was to punish negligence, and only when punishment was effective could social fairness and justice.

Emperor Hongguang is famous for loving the people like a son, and he has always maintained the initial tax for many years, and has never increased, but it can't withstand the momentum of development.

Pity the crown prince Xiao Sheng, who only served as the emperor for one day, when Daye's army entered the city, he became a prisoner from the king of a country.

There is nothing to be sad about, the world is like this, all kinds of changes, and the slightest wish is not fulfilled.

When you're serious, time always flies.

In two hours, she read more than half of the prison book, and she felt a lot.

When she was in Taoxi Village before, she didn't have the opportunity to see such things, everything was heard from her grandfather, but now when she looks at it, she is familiar with a strange feeling, and she realizes that her understanding of many things may really be too shallow.

Gently closing the heavy pages, Mu Qianyan stood up with his hands up, stretching his waist fiercely, like a cat.

The stomach was empty, but the food in the Taishi Courtyard was a little unsatisfactory.

The food cooked here is heavy on oil and salt, and the chef does not cook at a regular time.

Mu Qianyan is not very familiar with this place, and even people have not yet recognized it.

It's noon, but there's still no movement in the kitchen.

Mu Qianyan touched her stomach in disappointment, she had finally developed a good habit of eating on time in the Hou Mansion before, and every time she arrived at the meal, her stomach would react on time.

Pei Shan?

Mu Qianyan's eyes lit up, he said last time that he wanted to make osmanthus cheese, it was better to

Thinking so, she was already trotting towards the gate of the Taishi Academy.

I am not familiar with life in the palace, and the only person who can speak is Pei Shan.

Her sense of direction is not very good, and when she leaves the door of the Taishi Academy, she can hardly find the east, west, north and south.

It's pretty good to get around.

Mu Qianyan's mentality is not bad, and he moves forward with the road in his memory.

The avenues of the palace are bright and spacious, but they are also like a labyrinth.

"Ahh

She was in a daze, turned a corner, and bumped into something hard.

The familiar smell enveloped and awakened her every nerve.

"Shen Luan!"

Mu Qianyan raised his head suddenly, and his eyes became wet in an instant.

He tied his hair and shaved his face today, and of course his court clothes were neat and flat.

But Mu Qianyan looked at him but changed, but in just a few days, his whole person became a little strange.

He has changed a lot, and Mu Qianyan can't say where it is.

It's the hair, it's the clothes, it's the look, it's the state.

He's not having a good time,

"What's wrong with you,"

Mu Qianyan's eyes were hot, and he instantly felt sorry for him.

"Isn't there too much going on,"

There's too much going on to have time to come to her, right?

Mu Qianyan didn't ask that sentence, because she didn't know, didn't know what Shen Luan was thinking.

Shen Luan didn't speak.

His usually enthusiastic eyes were now lowered, and he couldn't see what was inside.

"Why don't you speak?"

Mu Qianyan was anxious, and her puppy-like eyes were extremely aggrieved.

Shen Luan couldn't bear to look at it anymore,

"Let it go,"

He gently brushed away the small hand that was clutching his sleeve, and his voice was so soft that it didn't look like his.

He was scared and didn't dare to do it again.

"You?"

Mu Qianyan suddenly paused, his hand stopped in mid-air, and he didn't know how to react.

She looked stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.

Shen Luan, not with her?

She was stunned for a while and didn't react.

She has thought about many situations, Shen Luan's temperament is easy to go to extremes, but she can always slow down. She had said before that Shen Luan was just in a hurry, and it would be good to wait for him to think clearly and ease up.

They're going to fight together, aren't they?

Shen Luan's eyes that had always been raised high made an exception this time, he didn't dare, he didn't dare to look.

He opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

All the emotions came to his lips, but they all went silent.

When he was in the Hou Mansion before, he didn't like to tie his hair, he always liked to put his long hair behind him and tie it up casually, the whole person looked lazy and casual, but he also lost his momentum.

At that time, his whole person was also upward, and he was not so silent.

Now he has his hair tied up high, and although he is still handsome, he is a bit like those old-fashioned and old-fashioned courtiers in the court.

He has lost his previous appearance, he has changed a lot, his foreign trade has changed, his demeanor has changed, and his treatment of her has also changed.

"That's all,"

His voice was hoarse, as if squeezed out of countless dry woods

The voice was small, but it almost drained all his strength.

"Are you sure?"

Mu Qianyan looked at him, but he didn't just look at him.

Obviously, he first expressed his heart to himself, and it was he who personally said that he wanted to eat with him all the time, and it was he who said it!

Mu Qianyan's face was tense, and his fingers were clenched unconsciously.

She didn't want to ask what the reason was, she only knew that Shen Luan retreated, he didn't want to do this.

Endless grievances came up and were suffocated by her.
