Xiao Ye felt that there was a generation gap between herself and this five or six-year-old girl, and she really couldn't understand her thoughts and thoughts.

The little girl also saw that Xiao Ye was confused, stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Ye to stand up, went around to the other side of the tree, pointed and said, "Sister, look, there is my name on it." ”

The leaves on the tree had fallen away, revealing mottled scars, one of which resembled a crooked and ugly word for the moon.

"Ah, your name is Satsuki!" Xiao Ye looked up for a long time before he recognized it, and he couldn't help but laugh suddenly.

The little girl grinned, shook her head again, and said with some distress: "My name is May, but I can look for it, but I can't find a tree with 'five'." ”

That's it—Xiao Ye thought about it and said tentatively, "Why don't we carve one ourselves?" I just don't have a knife, so I'll borrow a kitchen knife from the kitchen to try it......"

"What do children want knives for?"

With a clear voice, Zhu Youxiao turned around and walked over, only Li Chengcheng was by his side, and the rest of the palace people were far behind.

The two girls heard the sound but didn't see anyone, and when they went around the tree, they found Zhu Youxiao and Li Chengcheng coming.

Xiao Ye didn't recognize it yet, but May screamed with joy, ran a few steps, knelt down and kowtowed, and said crisply: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled, he was very fond of the little girl who was not afraid of himself and took the initiative to run over to greet him, and almost stepped forward to hug her.

Li Chengcheng stepped forward to help May up, and smiled to brush off the dust and grass clippings on the little girl's forehead.

"Long live the people's daughter." Xiao Ye also hurriedly knelt down to give a salute.

"No courtesy." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand again and asked, "I can't hear it very clearly, you two girls are muttering, what are you going to do with knives?" ”

"Long live Hui." Xiao Ye spoke first: "There is a scar on the tree like the word 'moon', and then add a 'five', which happens to be the name of May. ”

May grinned and said, "Hooray, my name is May." ”

"May, well, good name." Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile, looking at the two innocent and romantic girls, his mood was much better.

May smiled more and more happily, looked up at her little face, and asked crisply, "Long live Lord, what do you eat every day?" ”

Ha, it's you, the little girl who "eats", the same inquiry, it was the queen Zhang Yan who asked at the time.

For the common people, how the emperor enjoys happiness and what he eats is indeed a very curious thing, and individuals also have personal conjectures.

For example, there is a joke about two old farmers in northern Shaanxi talking about the life of the emperor.

An old farmer said that the emperor must have lived in a big house, with an oil pot in the front yard and an oil pot in the back yard, and wanted to eat fried fritters and fried twist flowers.

Life limits the imagination, and the old farmer, who has never been far away in his life, can think of no more luxurious enjoyment of life than this.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and touched May's head, and said with a smile: "I ate flower rolls, rice porridge, and fragrant pickles in the morning." At noon, I don't know yet! ”

Long live the Lord eats the same as in May, well, not today.

May didn't know that the emperor was teasing her, so she said in confidence: "That's what we ate the day before yesterday, and this morning it was meat buns, which are fragrant!" ”

Li Chengcheng pursed his lips and smiled, he didn't expect the emperor to deceive the child, and said: "May, long live also brought you candy and snacks, and the palace people behind me will take it!" ”

May's eyes lit up and she swallowed involuntarily.

"Get some for May first." After Zhu Youxiao instructed Li Chengcheng, he encouraged May: "You have to study hard, don't be too playful!" ”

Well, well, May's little head nodded happily and said, "I, I know almost a hundred words!" ”

Li Chengcheng took May away, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were fixed on Xiao Ye, swept the book in her hand, and Wen Yan asked, "Tang and Song poems, can you recognize them?" ”

Xiao Ye bowed and replied: "Long live Hui, except for a few rare words, all the folk girls recognize them." ”

Oh, Zhu Youxiao groaned slightly, then guessed the approximate situation, and said, "Before you arrived at Shaoying Academy, how many years did you read?" ”

Xiao Ye said: "When the folk girl was five years old, her mother taught her to ......read and write," Xiao Ye said, Xiao Ye lowered her head, and her voice was lower, "Until June last year, it was exactly four and a half years." ”

"I'm ten years old this year!" Zhu Youxiao nodded with emotion, knowing that every orphan has his own pain, and it is inconvenient to ask in detail.

Xiao Ye smiled, "Long live back, the folk girl will be eleven after the New Year!" ”

Zhu Youxiao praised this sunny smile, smiled his head, and asked casually: "When the Shaoying Academy was first built, there should be unreasonable and imperfections, but it will get better and better, as warm as a big family." ”

Xiao Ye blinked her big eyes, an impulse surged in her heart, and she bowed down and said, "Long live, the folk girl has some suggestions, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Oh, Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned, looked at Xiao Ye, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's hear it." ”

In the warm winter sun, the young emperor walked slowly in front, and the younger girl followed behind. One is talking, the other is listening, calm and warm.

……………………

When the "Daming Forum" published articles in succession, attacking the lawless eunuchs in more violent and serious terms, many people realized the emperor's anger, but not many people really knew how serious it was.

During the Longqing period, there was an expulsion of the magistrate from Wuxi County, which was much worse than that of Jiashan County; Li Youzi, the governor of Changzhou, was also attacked by all the people of the five counties and almost died.

But in the end, the official only arrested the person who took the lead in making trouble, and removed the reputation of the students, and did not pay attention to the ceremony.

It is precisely because of the leniency and leniency that the arrogance of the eunuchs and the students is extremely arrogant. And the incident in Jiashan County was also the actions of Liu Lishun, the magistrate of the county, that touched their interests.

To be precise, it touched the interests of the eunuchs of Jiashan County. The contradiction between them and Liu Lishun was not formed in a short period of time, let alone sharpened all of a sudden.

Check the hidden and leaked money and grain, check the actual acres of land, compile the yellow book, the fish scale book, which work is not harmful to the interests of the township eunuchs, and Liu is very serious.

Therefore, it is not an accident, but an inevitability. Even if the fuse of the slave is not punished, the conflict will break out sooner or later, but sooner or later.

"Fierce and violent, there is no distinction between the people."

"The rampant trend has become, the crumbs have crossed the discipline, the name has been broken, and the true universe has changed."

"The atmosphere is vicious, there are private factions in special places, and the people are unbearable; And the gentry who live in the countryside also rely on the strong and strong, regard the people as weak meat, protect each other, and the people have nothing to complain about. ”

"Relying on the power of the Lord, collecting rent, extorting gifts, and lending money to force the children to write their fields, each of them has caused trouble to the Lord and caused many evils."
