Chapter 255: Seeing Each Other Late

"Really?" the little girl looked up at Xiao Yunhe with a little surprise, "My mother...... Will she really look at me? Will her legs be okay?"

"Yes, yes. Xiao Yunhe said very affirmatively, looking at the little girl with a smile and nodding. The villagers next to him also followed and said, "Yes, little man, yes." ”

The little girl was a little relieved at this time, and turned to look at the mother lying on the bed. I still couldn't help but have tears in my eyes. Xiao Yunhe asked Gao Gu to hug the little girl away, and the villagers helped collect the corpses and began to clean up the house so that it could be made into a mourning hall. Two other people were sent to the county town to buy coffins and shrouds. Prepare to bury the mother of the little girl.

Xiao Yunhe was afraid that the little man would be too sad, so he took him out of the house and said to him: "Little girl, how old are you this year and what is your name?"

"I'm nine years old. But. I don't remember my name...... "The little girl said, shaking her head, "my father gave me a name, but he didn't call it much." Because I have two older brothers above me. But they all died. I'm the third, so everyone calls me Little Girl. My mother is also illiterate, so she doesn't know what my name is, so what should I do Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, "I'll go to the lieutenant and ask them for your name later." When the time comes, you'll use this name in your family tree. From today, though. I'll give you a name, and it's called Fang Ci. Kind kindness. It means, that you will always remember your kind mother, you know?"

Fang Ci ...... Mother. read the novel network all the way" The little girl became a little sad again, and tears overflowed in her red eyes. Nodding earnestly, he said, "I see." I will always remember my mother's land! My name is Fang Ci, and I must remember my kind mother!"

With the help of the villagers, the funeral was quickly organized. The little girl wore linen and filial piety to mourn her deceased mother, and was as meticulous and serious as an adult, which moved everyone.

Xiao Yunhe thought that he had a lot of other things to do, and he couldn't stay here forever. So he left the guard Wang Zhennan behind, and when Fang Ci finished the funeral, he took him back to the Han Palace. Originally, according to the law of Daqi, children should be worried about filial piety after the death of their parents, but Fang Ci is still less than fifteen years old and an adult, so there is no need to be subject to too many restrictions. As long as she brings her parents' spirit cards with her, she won't violate any etiquette. And he is so young that he lives alone in the countryside, which is really uneasy.

For Fang Ci, a child, Xiao Yunhe not only likes his filial piety and sensibility, but also because he is Fang Xuanling's descendant. Fang Xuanling, just like Xiao Yunhe's right-hand man, assisted him all his life and made indelible contributions to creating the prosperous era of Zhenguan Daqi. Even later generations admired him and Du Ruhui as Fang Mou Du Xuan, and listed them as Zhenguan names. It's a pity that his stubborn daughter Gao Yang has brought such a disaster to the Fang family......

Until now, the descendants of the Fang family have fallen into this situation, their father was killed in the battle, and their mother was thrown into the well, leaving only a lonely child, how can people not be sad and pity. If Fang Ci is not cultivated, Xiao Yunhe will feel extremely guilty, and he will have no shame to go to Lingyan Pavilion to face Fang Xuanling's portrait.

The officials and the people who came to help all moved back to Huayuan County first. Xiao Yunhe, Wu Yuanheng and the others were delayed at Xiao Yan'er's house for a while before they were ready to leave. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they did not expect a large number of people to gather here, all of whom knelt down on both sides of the road and said goodbye. Xiao Yunhe said goodbye to these people one by one.

At this time, it was already sunset, Xiao Yunhe reined in the reins, glanced at the village shrouded in the colorful light of the setting sun and the green trees and jungle, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Wu Yuanheng was still dressed in white, dressed as a scholar, quietly riding on a horse, following behind Xiao Yunhe. At this time, he said: "Lord Han, I don't know if you are interested, and then talk to the cold house for a while?"

"Oh?" Xiao Yunhe was slightly surprised, but immediately smiled, "Of course it's good." It's rare for Bocang to send out an invitation, where can I refuse? Let's go, go to Huayuan!" After that, Xiao Yunhe raised his whip, and the green horse raised his iron hooves and ran forward. Wu Yuanheng looked at Xiao Yunhe's vigorous figure, smiled slightly, snorted lightly, and swung his horsewhip, followed closely.

Gao Gu laughed at this time, Ju Wenzhen was not less sulky with him today, and said angrily: "You stuffy jar, what are you laughing at?"

"Your Excellency is finally getting your wish, can I not laugh?" said he rode his horse and followed. Ju Wenzhen was confused and didn't know what to do, and chased after him with another guard.

More than an hour later. It was sunset and dark, and everyone finally arrived in Huayuan. The group still went to the backyard of the county government and entered Wu Yuanheng's private house.

"Adults, please take a bath first. Wu Yuanheng has changed his previous arrogance and reserve, and has become much more affectionate and humble, and said to Xiao Yunhe, "I have been tired for days, and it has been really hard." ”

"Oh? Xiao Yunhe looked at himself. It's really a lot of spoils. His legs were covered with muddy water, and his body smelled of sweat. So I went to the bathroom and prepared to take a shower first. Ju Wenzhen also brought Xiao Yunhe's change of clothes to follow up.

As soon as he entered the bathroom, Xiao Yunhe saw a woman pouring hot water into the bathtub, and kept trying the warmth with her hands. Xiao Yunhe called out in some surprise: "Miss Su?"

This woman. It was none other than the woman who had traveled thousands of miles to find the remains of her father and brother - Sophie.

When Sophie heard this call, she hurriedly put down the bucket and ran to Xiao Yunhe's side and knelt down, kowtowing and saying, "Folk girl Sophie, meet your benefactor, Lord Han." Chitose Chitose!"

"Alright, get up. Xiao Yunhe lifted her for a moment, and then said. "What, have you come back from Luoyang?

Sophie was dressed in coarse cloth, wearing a white filial piety on her left arm, her hair was pulled up casually, and she was as unpowdered as before, but she still did not lose her quiet and clear beauty. She lowered her head, shook it gently, and said, "I have been looking for a day or two, but to no avail." They were not allowed in the barracks. Those big yamen in Luoyang even ignore us......"

"Well, it's not surprising. It's good that I'm back safe and sound. Xiao Yunhe comforted her and said, "From now on, you don't have to go out alone to look for it." Weak woman. It's easy to go wrong out there, remember? I've already sent someone to take a closer look, and I'm sure the results will be available soon. You wait patiently and don't be anxious. ”

"Thank you, Lord Han!" Sophie knelt down again, kowtowing excitedly.

"Okay, okay, don't kowtow like this all the time, it's too much courtesy. Xiao Yunhe smiled, pulled her to stand up, then glanced at her, and said, "How can you dress up like a maid maid?"

"Oh, no, no!" Sophie waved her hands nervously and said again and again, "Wuxian Ling and Miss Wu are like sisters to the people, and they take good care of them. It's just that...... When the maiden heard that the lord was coming, she volunteered to serve the lord. Adults are the great benefactors of the people's daughters, just like reborn parents. The folk girl just wants to be a cow and a horse to serve the adult, and to be a maid and maid is already very satisfied and satisfied. ”

"Don't be stupid, what kind of maid is you a maid for no reason?" Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "I don't dare to treat a good woman like you as a maid! Then find a good in-law to marry, teach your father and son, and you will definitely live a good life. ”

"No!" To Xiao Yunhe's surprise, Su Fei'er, who seemed to be very tame, immediately objected, and seemed to be a little excited, "The folk girl has made a poisonous oath that if she can't find her father's remains, she will never marry for the rest of her life, and if the person she marries is unwilling to worship my father and brother's spiritual position, she is also willing to go underground from my father and brother!"

Xiao Yunhe was slightly startled, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Miss Su." I didn't mean to make such a flirtatious joke about you. ”

"It doesn't matter. Sophie immediately regained her gentle appearance like a lamb, lowered her head and said, "The adult is the great benefactor of the people's daughter, and she has parents again." Whatever makes sense. In this life, the folk girl has no other desires. I only hope to stay with the adults and repay you for your kindness as a cow and a horse, and if one day the adults really help the people find the remains of their father and brother, then ......"

Sophie's face turned a little red, and she whispered like a gnat: "Then as long as the adults don't dislike the people's girls for being lowly and ugly, and don't drive the people's girls away, the people's girls will be born as adults, and death will be adults' ghosts." Throughout his life, he only served filial piety by the side of adults, and rested until death. ”

"This ......" Xiao Yunhe's heart was shaken, and he said unexpectedly, "No need, I'm just ...... It's just a matter of raising your hands!"

Sophie raised her face, bit her lip, looked at Xiao Yunhe very aggrieved, and said, "My lord...... Don't you want a people's girl? The people's girl...... I really have to die to make a clear will!"

"Ah, no, no!" Xiao Yunhe hurriedly said, "Don't get excited, don't do stupid things." Or...... When I'm done taking a shower first, if there's anything going on, I'll discuss it slowly later, okay?"

Sophie nodded, but stepped aside and took the clothes from Ju Wenzhen's hand. Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the villain will step back first" What nonsense, come and serve me to bathe!" Xiao Yunhe didn't know Ju Wenzhen's strange thoughts, he thought that Sophie was going to serve Xiao Yunhe to bathe.

"Uh, it's ......" Ju Wenzhen lowered her head, laughed weirdly, and took back the clothes in Sophie's hand.

Sophie's face was already flushed with shame, she bit her lip and walked out of the bathroom as soon as she turned around.

Xiao Yunhe let out a long breath. To tell the truth, Sophie is actually good-looking, and she is also very gentle and demure, anyone will like such a girl. Xiao Yunhe is not a saint who is not close to meat, and he has never thought of rejecting women with incomparably high standards.

But this poor and respectable Sophie...... Xiao Yunhe really couldn't bear to blaspheme and play with her. Such a filial and kind and unswerving woman is rare in the world.

I took a shower and got rid of the filth on my body. Changing into new clothes, Xiao Yunhe felt refreshed all over his body, and his appetite also came. When he got out of the bathroom, he saw that Sophie was still standing here, and he bowed to Xiao Yunhe and said, "My lord, the meal has been prepared, and Wuxian ordered the adults to move to the main hall to eat." ”

Xiao Yunhe coughed dryly, walked up to Sophie's side and said, "Miss Su, this ...... Don't think of yourself as a handmaid, it's going to make me a little awkward. If you really want to be with me, think of yourself as ...... A friend of this king!"

"So, did King Han agree?" Sophie's big eyes lit up, showing a lot of joy.

Xiao Yunhe smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Even if it's it!"

Xiao Yunhe's words were like great news for Sophie, which made him happy. The little girl's big eyes suddenly narrowed with laughter, and her long eyelashes fluttered like two small brushes. She bent down and saluted Xiao Yunhe three times in a row: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Hehe, okay, okay, you don't have to be so polite all the time. Xiao Yunhe also had no choice but to say helplessly with this little girl who knew how to be polite, so he had no choice but to say.

Sophie was very quiet, and there was no bright smile on her face. There was a faint flush on her cheeks, and her big watery eyes were the most eye-catching, and at this time, she seemed to be telling someone else, she was smiling.

She's the kind of woman who smiles with her eyes.

Xiao Yunhe and the others arrived at the main hall, and Wu Yuanheng, Gao Gu and others were already waiting here. Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng were seated, and the others all stood aside and waited. There is a difference between dignity and inferiority, and they dare not sit at the table casually.

Xiao Yunhe saw that these people were standing, so he said, "You all go to eat, you don't have to serve here." Bo Cang and I just need to take care of the lamp by ourselves. ”

Gao Gu, Ju Wenzhen, Wang Dahu, Su Fei'er and a few other maids retreated and went to the side room to eat by themselves. There were only Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng left in the banquet.

Wu Yuanheng picked up a glass of wine first, looked at Xiao Yunhe levelly, and said very sincerely: "My lord, my subordinates were quite negligent a few days ago, and I ask your lord to forgive me." Your Majesty is now, but with this glass of thin wine, I have pleaded guilty to my lordship. ”

"Alas, what is Bo Cang talking about? Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "You and I have a peaceful relationship, and I also respect you very much as a friend, so don't mention anything about slacking off or not." From now on, you don't have to be too formal. Since they are friends, they should not judge each other by respecting their subordinates. Everybody be casual. ”

Wu Yuanheng smiled slightly: "Thank you, sir." They each took a drink. Wu Yuanheng immediately poured wine for the two of them, and then raised it to Xiao Yunhe: "This second cup is still up to the ministers." The adults have benevolent thoughts and common people, which makes his subordinates very admired. But with this cup, with the admiration of your subordinates for your lords!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Yunhe laughed, and raised his cup happily, "Okay." Bo Cang has to be so polite, then I will drink this cup again, please!"

The second glass entered his throat, and the third cup came again immediately, Wu Yuanheng raised his glass. He has always been as calm as water, but at this time, he was also calm, and said very solemnly: "This third cup, Your Majesty wishes the King of Han a great cause in the end!"

Xiao Yunhe was about to raise his glass. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said, "Finally a great cause?"

"Exactly. It will be a great cause. Wu Yuanheng was still holding his glass.

Xiao Yunhe nodded noncommittally. I drank this third glass of wine with him. Then he said, "I don't know what kind of great cause is it?"

Wu Yuanheng smiled slightly: "The adults have their own ambitions in their hearts, so why should they ask their subordinates?"

Xiao Yunhe also smiled: "What if, I have to ask clearly?"

"Hehe!" Wu Yuanheng also laughed out loud this time, and said, "Today's Great Qi is in the midst of chaos and events in the world, but it is also the time for heroes to use force. Ambition in the hearts of adults. Isn't it trying to turn the tide and revive Daqi?"

When Xiao Yunhe heard him say this, he immediately laughed: "Bo Cang, you and I really hate each other! I can't imagine that you and I have only been seeing each other for two days, and you can tell me what I think in one word." What a confidant of my life!"

"Adults have won prizes. Wu Yuanheng smiled lightly and said. "Now in front of the adults, the subordinates are not willing to hide anything. In fact, the subordinates did have a grudge against adults before, thinking that adults were just a gentleman who didn't care about the lives of others. Even if the lord defended Mukden and captured the national capital, his subordinates still did not change this opinion. Because in the eyes of your subordinates, some of the things you did at that time were nothing more than trying to keep yourself alive. ”

When Xiao Yunhe heard this, he nodded without denying it: "Yes, you are right." The Battle of Fengtian and the Battle of the National Capital, in the final analysis, were just the Great Qi Imperial Court bottoming out and fighting for the last time. At that time, if it weren't for me, Xiao Yunhe, there would also be others who would have stepped forward and completed this mission. The Great Qi is not exhausted, and it is actually inevitable to be able to defeat Zhu Guang and restore the national capital. At that time, what I thought about the most was indeed to let myself live, and then take revenge on Zhu. Other than that, I didn't really think much about it at the time. Bo Cang, your vision is indeed very unique, and your words are also very realistic. Now in the national capital, many officials and officials bow down to me, flatter me, or praise me lavishly. In fact, these people are either inclined to inflammation, or they are short-sighted and can't see the true essence of this. Only Bo Cang not only saw it, but also said it. It's a rarity!"

"Adults don't have to be presumptuous. In fact, in that case, it was not easy to hide without taking refuge in Zhu or being greedy for life and death. Wu Yuanheng still smiled and said, "Actually, at that time, the subordinates didn't have much thought about adults. But since I arrived in Huayuan, I have witnessed the kind of life that the people in the area of Xixia Village live. Your Majesty...... I don't have a good impression of adults anymore. ”

"Hehe!" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help laughing again, "You are really a real person." I'm afraid that few people dare to say this kind of thing directly. ”

"As my lord said, we are friends. In front of his friends, Bo Cang has always told the truth and never hid. Wu Yuanheng said, "So, I didn't say much to the adults yesterday, because at that time, Bocang didn't regard the adults as friends. But after returning from Xixia Village today, His Majesty changed his opinion. It turns out that adults are the kind of people that Yuan Heng has always admired the most, and they are worthy of making friends. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "It seems that it is really not easy to make friends with Bo Cang!

"My lord, please!" Wu Yuanheng seemed to have a good amount of wine, and he drank four glasses in a row, and his face did not change his complexion, and his expression was calm.

The two of them each ate something, and Xiao Yunhe could be regarded as passing away his hungry belly a little, and then said: "Bo Cang, in your opinion, this is the current Great Qi. What's the biggest problem?"

Wu Yuanheng smiled slightly: "Yuanheng is a scholar, but he doesn't dare to talk about the world's major affairs. However, if the adults want to hear it, the ministers are willing to talk about it in small talk. It's just that I don't know if adults want to hear the truth or lie?"

"What about the truth, what about the falsehood?" Xiao Yunhe looked at him with some doubts.

Wu Yuanheng smiled: "The lie is, now this Daqi." The problem lies in the invasion and provocation of the Jiedu envoys and Fanzhen, as well as the foreign Zhuhu lands such as Tubo. ”

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yunhe looked at Wu Yuanheng intently, and said calmly, "The Jiedu military town has divided the forces and people of Daqi. Let the Great Qi Dynasty fall apart and deviate from morality. The decree did not work, the people's hearts were not aligned, and they killed each other, and then they gave the foreign Zhuhu an opportunity to take advantage of. Come to poison the Central Plains. Isn't this the biggest crisis and problem in Daqi right now?"

Wu Yuanheng, who was dressed in white and as refreshing as snow, laughed a little wildly at this time: "My lord." In fact, you know it yourself, so why do you want to use these arguments to push off in front of your subordinates? What your lord said is just a faΓ§ade that everyone can see clearly at a glance. The root and most essential contradictions and problems of Great Qi have been in the heart of King Han for a long time, right?"

Xiao Yunhe looked at Wu Yuanheng with a smile, noncommittal, and then said, "Let's tell me the truth." ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Yuanheng shook his head with a smile: "Don't say, don't say." You and I can think in our hearts, but we can't say anything. ”

"Hehehe!" Xiao Yunhe also laughed out loud. "Okay, drink this one, you don't say, I'll tell. Look at what you and I have in mind, isn't it the same!"

The two clashed glasses and drank a glass each. Xiao Yunhe took a long breath. Standing up and pacing slowly, he said slowly: "A country." It's like a house. The upper beam is not right, and the foundation is not stable, can An not fall? What do you think in your heart, is this it, Bo Cang?"

Wu Yuanheng followed Xiao Yunhe quietly, and when he heard him say these two words, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart, and said, "My lord...... Don't raise your voice and speak falsely!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Yunhe smiled heartily, "What we say today, out of my mouth, into the ears of the king, God knows you know I know, what's so terrible? I, Xiao Yunhe, have always been honest and trusting to my friends." Will Bo Cang still pass on these words to others?"

Wu Yuanheng smiled slightly: "My lord is really as open-minded as the sea, which makes Yuanheng extremely admired! It seems that this time his subordinates are villains in vain." ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled and pulled Wu Yuanheng, and the two sat back at the wine table and said, "So, Bo Cang is also in line with what I think?"

Wu Yuanheng nodded affirmatively: "Yes." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but sigh and furrowed his brows, "If a dynasty wants to rise or fall, it must be reflected from the imperial power itself. Any other local factor is not the main one. From Tianbao onwards, Emperor Xuanzong began to rule out of order, and several problems began to arise in Daqi, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion. Since then, the successive superiors have only been fighting disasters and fires from side to side, without actual achievements. To this day...... The government is corrupt, and more people only want to steal peace and be alone, and even seek personal gain for the country. It's just that this kind of person is still controlling the Jiangshan Sheji of Daqi. It has to be said that it is indeed a disaster. ”

Wu Yuanheng's brows also furrowed slightly, and he said, "It seems that my lord, the earth does know the current Great Qi very clearly. What the lord said was not right, and his subordinates deeply agreed. If you want to completely change the status quo of the Great Qi that is difficult to return to and decay, you must start from the court. Like His Majesty, even if he cures a county and a place, he can only cure a sore, but cannot change Daqi's seriously ill body. People like us can only make some measures to stop the boiling. If you want to get paid at the bottom of the kettle, only someone who can be able and in a top position like an adult can put in the effort. ”

"Draw salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Xiao Yunhe glanced at Wu Yuanheng with a flickering eye, "How can I do it?"

Wu Yuanheng was also a very delicate person, and he probably heard the meaning of Xiao Yunhe's words, and said, "Don't you think that only the emperor can do it?"

Xiao Yunhe's heart shook slightly: This Wu Yuanheng really dares to say anything. He deliberately asked me, meaning to emphasize that the emperor must be able to do it. He asked me to go to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, could it be that he was testing me, wondering if I was interested in that dragon chair?

The two stared at each other for a long time, but they didn't continue the following words. It's just that they all read that meaning from each other's eyes: only by starting from the supreme imperial power can it be possible to completely change Daqi.

Xiao Yunhe thought back to Wu Yuanheng's words again, and he said that he could only raise the soup to stop boiling, and the reason was because people like him were destined to be just auxiliary courtiers, even if they had to be reused, they could not really dominate the fate of Jiangshan Sheji. With such an analysis, the meaning of Wu Yuanheng's words is even clearer: directly pointing to the imperial power!

Regardless of whether Wu Yuanheng was testing or genuinely offering advice, Xiao Yunhe felt that it was too early to talk about this at the moment, and it was too sensitive. So, he took the initiative to divert the topic and said: "The foundation of Great Qi lies in the people. And now, the people are living in embarrassment, precarious, and are gradually losing confidence in Daqi. This is very dangerous. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. If it loses the support of the people, the fortunes of Daqi will be worried. ”

Wu Yuanheng also wisely stopped mentioning Shangliang's improper matter, and said again: "What the adults said is very true. His Majesty thought that the top priority of Daqi at the moment was to regain the hearts of the people and settle the people. And to do this, it is not something that can be solved by appeasement and relief. The most important thing is to return the land to the people, so that they can see the hope of survival in the future. Just like the things that adults are doing in Xixia Village today, the relief of the disaster with loose grain can only solve a temporary crisis; returning the land to the people and never giving it more is the truly clever and thorough method! In the final analysis, the most fundamental problem of the contradiction in our great qi lies in the land. The Central Plains has always been based on agriculture, and if there is a problem with the land, other problems will come one after another. If the people have a field to plant, food, and clothing, they will live in peace. The world is easy to be peaceful. ”

Xiao Yunhe heard this, and slapped his palm on the table: "Well said! Bo Canggao's argument really coincides with what I think in my heart!"

The night is low, and the lights of thousands of homes are on.

In the pavilion of the small courtyard not far from the main hall, a woman sat quietly thinking about her thoughts, but she heard the sound of slapping the table from the main hall, and she came back to her senses.

She glanced at the main hall with a slight frown, and said to herself: "Three watches in the middle of the night, why are you talking so energetically?"

There were gentle footsteps behind her, and it was Sophie, who was inseparable from her, who walked up to her and said softly: "Miss, it's so late and the weather is cold, why don't you go to sleep?"

"Phil. She took Sophie's hand and sat down beside her, and said with a smile, "But did you agree?"

"Hmm!" Sophie nodded a little excitedly, her big eyes sparkled, and said, "Miss, it may not be long before I will follow the adults to the national capital, and I can't accompany you!"

The young lady in Sophie's mouth is naturally Wu Qiyun. She smiled faintly and said, "So, I don't know whether to be happy or sad." Although we have only been together for a short time, we are like sisters. You left Huayuan like this and went to the national capital, and it will not be so easy for us to see each other again. ”

Sophie glanced at the main hall, blinked her big eyes and said, "Miss, it's better to ...... You also asked Mr. Wu to promise my lord to go to Jingzhao Mansion to be an official, right? In this way, we can meet again every day?"

"You are stupid, how dare I ask about his affairs?" Wu Qiyun said a little helplessly, "My brother is a person who admits death, and he doesn't know what to think in his head." Anyone would be ecstatic, but he didn't care about it. Also, he didn't like King Han very much, and even asked me not to get along too much with King Han. But today I had a great conversation with him. Men's business. It's really hard for us women to understand. ”

Sophie narrowed her eyes again, looked at Wu Qiyun a little strangely, and said in a low voice, "Isn't Miss still angry with Mr. Wu?"

"I didn't!" Wu Qiyun immediately denied it, and glared at Sophie with some resentment, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"And say no!" Sophie laughed as she covered her mouth with her hands, and a flash of light flashed in her big eyes, "Sir asked you not to have too much contact with King Han." Look at you in a hurry. At this moment, you want to go to the main hall to meet him, and you are afraid that Mr. will blame you, right?"

"Fei'er!" Wu Qiyun grabbed her elbow shyly and anxiously, "It's time to fight!"

"Hee-hee!" Sophie dodged with a wicked smile as she turned around. The second daughter chased me in the pavilion, and there was a burst of hip-hop sounds.

In the main hall. Xiao Yunhe's head was thick, and he toasted to Wu Yuanheng again and again. After all these days, he finally found a confidant to talk to, and he was especially happy in his heart. It is rare that this Wu Yuanheng. Unique and thoughtful, many views and opinions coincide with their own. "Not bad!" Xiao Yunhe drank a few glasses. His voice also became much more arrogant, and he said, "The Juntian system has been destroyed, and the people have no land, or they can't support people if they have land, so they can only flee the famine, become a homeless person, become a soldier, and become a thief, and all kinds of problems will arise one after another." When Daqi reached the Tianbao period, it was considered to be at its peak. But that's when it happened. The land annexation is very strong. The practice of distributing acres of land to peasant households according to the per capita quota stipulated in the system has been completely destroyed. The emperor's relatives and high-ranking officials and generals began to collect a large amount of land, either explicitly or covertly. As a result, the people have been displaced, deprived of the most important thing to survive. ”

"At the same time. The official system of Daqi also began to be a little chaotic, and the kings with different surnames were wantonly divided. Even the prince has become worthless. When I wanted to be Zhenguan, even the eldest grandson Wuji was the first hero of the dynasty, and he was only crowned the Duke of the Kingdom. But now, with a little merit, the emperor will be crowned a county king, for fear that he will not be able to win the hearts of the people. There are even more other school inspectors and foreign officials, and even important official positions such as Shangshu left and right servants and six Shangshu have appointed many school inspectors. ”

"These new fiefdoms, relatives, relatives, bureaucrats, and generals all want to divide the land and even seal the food estate. As a result, the land is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few. But where did this land come from? Of course, it could only be snatched in the hands of the people! The danger brought about by land annexation was extremely great! At that time, Xuanzong ignored this problem, or was no longer able to change the status quo, so that the once prosperous Great Qi hid the root cause and continued to deteriorate. Therefore, in my opinion, the Anshi Rebellion was not so much a contradiction between some warlords such as Anlushan and the imperial court, but a series of other unfavorable factors such as land annexation, which accumulated over time and formed a major outbreak of diseases. Yang Guozhong of Anlushan is just an important factor in this great turmoil, or it is just an introduction. ”

After listening to Xiao Yunhe's long talk, Wu Yuanheng had to praise again and again: "My lord is really like a torch, and his analysis is very reasonable. Over the years, many people have hated Anlushan and other disloyal and unrighteous rebels, but they have rarely reflected on the problem of the existence of Great Qi itself. The adults found their own path and first looked for problems from Daqi itself. This is a remarkable thought and practice. Moreover, the adult can see the key point of this so clearly, and it is also the first time that the minister has encountered it in his life. Really...... Admire it!"

"Haha, Bo Cang, don't just praise me. Xiao Yunhe laughed and said, "Actually, I know that you can see and think more clearly than I do, right? I am a prince of the royal family, and many things cannot be seen or heard." And you know better than I do. ”

Wu Yuanheng smiled modestly and raised his glass to Xiao Yunhe's wine: "Your Majesty is ashamed, there is no wisdom as the adults imagined." On the surface, he is still so calm, but in his heart, he is already churning. He didn't expect that a once notorious gentleman would be able to have such a true opinion. The words he uttered were clearly not something that an ordinary courtier could see. He, the King of Han, seemed to be standing outside the house of Daqi, condescending to scrutinize, and with the mentality of a bystander, calmly and profoundly saw all the crux of the problem. Maybe when he said these words, everyone would take them for granted. But...... In the world, few people have realized this!

King Han, is he already standing on a different height from everyone else......? The current emperor of Jiuding?!

Of course, Wu Yuanheng couldn't have imagined that Xiao Yunhe, a gentleman, already contained the soul of Emperor Taizong of Great Qi in his skin. As an emperor, he is at a different height from everyone in the world, and he sees and thinks of it. are all different. Xiao Yunhe, who has been an emperor for more than 20 years, his vision is naturally clear and sharp, and he has always seen many problems that others cannot fathom. Although he is also an emperor, his natural qualifications and willingness to be mediocre determine the gap between him and Xiao Yunhe. More than just thousands of miles.

Xiao Yunhe's words today can be regarded as a surprise and shock to Wu Yuanheng, who has always been reserved and arrogant. Before, he had just eliminated some mustard in his heart from King Han, and he also wanted to test the true thoughts in his heart. But I didn't expect that this originally sideline prince. But there is more in the heart than today.

This is like Wu Yuanheng, who originally just wanted to pull grass to find snakes, but accidentally found a giant dragon living in the field!

Wu Yuanheng knew very well. My heart was shaken. This King of Han, who was once despised and even spurned by himself, turned out to have such a hidden eloquence! And his proud heart seemed to be killed by him at a moment!

Wu Yuanheng was a little excited, not knowing if it was the thoughts in his heart that stimulated him, or the wine he drank again and again brought about the earth's effect. His hands trembled slightly.

The two of them raised their wine glasses one after another, and drank openly without any scruples. Wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants, this feeling. Not very often. Landed people may rarely encounter such a once in a lifetime. Wu Yuanheng, who also completely forgot about his reserve and pride, talked and laughed loudly with King Han, and sometimes slapped the table a few times. Express the surging emotion in my heart.

The two women stood in the gazebo, both looking towards the main hall. They looked at each other in astonishment, and said at the same time, "What kind of happy things are you talking about?"

When the sky was about to dawn, Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng finally got drunk. Even they don't know how much they've drank. Wu Yuanheng is a scholar, and the amount of alcohol can also be described as amazing. After being reborn, Xiao Yunhe drank an extraordinary amount of alcohol, and even fierce men like Li Huaiguang and Hun did not dare to fight with him lightly, but Wu Yuanheng sacrificed his life to accompany him today.
