After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is not the same as the four seasons. The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red.

Although it is the middle of summer and the scorching summer of June, Hangzhou West Lake still has her different beautiful scenery, rowing a small boat in it, surrounded by lotus leaves and lotus flowers all over the lake, and there is a moist warm wind blowing, which is enough to make people forget the heat wave that burns like fire.

Sun Ning, the emperor of Dayue, at this time, together with his wife Xiao Qian, took a pair of children, rowed a boat, and frolicked on this paradise-like lake on earth.

He is not in some dynasties that even a capital has to be desperately blocked by countless courtiers, as if leaving the palace is full of dangerous cowardly kings, as long as everything in the court is stable, he will naturally go wherever he wants.

For example, in the middle of summer recently, it was too difficult for people to stay in the big furnace of Jinling City, so he simply took Xiao Qian and a pair of children, accompanied by Yang Xuan, Wei Shen and other cronies, and quietly came to Hangzhou to escape the summer.

Although the climate here is also hot, the lakes and mountains of Hangzhou can still make people feel a little cool in this hot summer.

In particular, the picturesque West Lake is where Sun Ning's family lingers, and in just ten days, their footprints have almost traveled to every corner of the West Lake.

Compared with walking around the lake, it is more comfortable to paddle leisurely on the lake.

Of course, as an emperor, the security that should be there is still indispensable, even if everyone knows that there are few people in the world who can hurt His Majesty the Emperor. But the clearance and defense work that should have been done is still in place.

On the surface of the West Lake today, although there are still many pleasure boats moving with the waves, in fact, the people on these boats are all guards, and even on the shore of the lake, there are hundreds of guards waiting to be on guard at all times to prevent changes.

In this regard, Sun Ning and Xiao Qian naturally looked at it, but they were helpless.

Although the difference in identity can get many convenience and benefits that ordinary people can't imagine, but at the same time, they will eventually lose some equally valuable things, such as freedom.

Holding her daughter, who is not yet one year old, Xiao Qian sighed softly while admiring the surrounding scenery: "If only we were the only one here."

"What, do you want me, the emperor, to directly order the entire West Lake to be fenced off and no one will be allowed to enter?" Sun Ning casually picked the lotus pod, peeled it off with his hand, and then was snatched by the restless son in his arms: "Daddy, is it delicious?" As he spoke, he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and clicked it.

Then, the little face suddenly wrinkled into a bun, and the tears were about to come out, and he vomited a few times, shouting, "It's not delicious, it's bitter......

When Sun Ning saw that his son was deflated, he immediately laughed: "Call you kid to rob my ...... in a hurry" and then exchanged Xiao Qian's complaining eyes: "You don't stop it, you know that Huai'er is not sensible...... Come, my mother will peel it for you. In this way, after removing the skin, I also broke it and removed the lotus heart, so that it tasted good."

Sun Huai took the lotus seed handed by his mother, hesitated a little, and then put it in his mouth, tentatively biting it, and then nodded with satisfaction. Then he shot again, and directly snatched the entire lotus pod from his father's hand, and tore and peeled it up a little clumsily.

It was only then that Xiao Qian responded to Sun Ning's question just now: "This is obviously not possible, West Lake belongs to everyone, not ours. Even if you're the emperor, you can't be so domineering......

"yes, that's what I thought, too. Whether it is the West Lake in Hangzhou or the Xuanwu Lake in Jinling, they are all good places that God has given to everyone, and they must not be embezzled into private property by those who hold great power in their hands.

"In the same way, many things in the world should be shared by more people, instead of everyone working hard and busy, but in the end, they made wedding dresses for those rich families."

Xiao Qian was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed again: "I knew that you suddenly came to Hangzhou this time not only to take us to enjoy the summer, but also to have other purposes."

Sun Ning sighed lightly: "In his position, he always has to do something. I, the emperor, can't really ignore anything and watch the people under my rule suffer, but have no way to sue, right?

"Although in the past few years,

It turned out that the nine wealthy families entrenched in Jiangnan had almost been uprooted, but their property and means were inherited after all, but not much of them could be distributed to the people below.

"Take the most famous silk business in Jiangnan as an example, it has not always been controlled by the Ji, Yu, and Zhou families. They ate meat, the dozens of silk merchants below drank soup, and the workers and silkworm farmers at the bottom could only mix food and clothing.

"This is not the current situation of the Jiangnan silk weaving industry that I want to see. Because in the long run, the life of the common people will become more and more difficult, and the silk tax that the court can get will only become less and less."

"So what are you going to do?" Xiao Qian asked curiously.

"This is still inconclusive, only wait for the people I scattered to report the more detailed situation before I can plan to make a move." After Sun Ning finished speaking, he rowed again, letting the boat break through a lotus leaf and head towards the location of the Lake Center Pavilion.

Seeing this, the boats of all sizes around them also coincidentally leaned towards the center of the lake, faintly forming a tight protection for the small boats they were in.

When Sun Ning's family parked the boat and arrived at the Huxin Pavilion, there were people on a large boat who came over at the same time to send all kinds of drinks and snacks like flowing water. In addition, there are some melons and fruits, the most eye-catching of which is naturally a large watermelon that has been immersed in water and is full of green.

"Master, are you eating here?" Wei Shen came over first and asked cautiously.

"Feel free to eat here. You all have some food, and everyone is hungry since the morning, right?" Sun Ning smiled and pointed to other positions, signaling that everyone did not have to be formal, just sit and eat and drink together.

Those guards were busy thanking each other, but they didn't dare to really eat in the pavilion with the emperor's family, but after taking the food, they just made a few bites outside the pavilion. And not everyone eats together, half of them are divided to keep an eye on the surroundings at all times, in case anyone really comes close.

At this moment, another small boat quickly broke through the water, and in a blink of an eye, it was already close to the range of the Lake Center Pavilion.

Naturally, this aroused the vigilance of the guards, and although they did not show their weapons, there were already people surrounding the pavilion, and some people came forward and asked, "Who is it?"

The people on the boat hurriedly showed a waist card and replied, "The minister Wuyi Si Cao Xu Xingzhi, there is something important to play Your Majesty."
