Chapter 246: Da Chang and the Country

After listening to Shun Yu talk about his life experience, Chen Yunsheng on the side said: "Princess, you have suffered! Do you know, in fact, the people of Dachanghe Kingdom are living more painfully than before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Shun Yu asked, "How do you say this?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "Zheng Renmin, the emperor of the current Great Changhe Kingdom, is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, and is the only son of Zheng Maihei, the Qingping official who usurped the Southern Zhao. He succeeded to the throne of Zheng Maihei, but he was mediocre and had no achievements, only knowing alchemy all day long, seeking immortality, and ignoring the government at all. When he first ascended the throne a few years ago, he was young and vigorous, and he was so happy that he insisted on attacking Shu in the face of the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces. In the end, he was defeated by the brave Shu King Wang Jian, and he was defeated, and he has been in a slump ever since. ā€

Shun Yu said: "My Nanzhao country is weak and has few people, how can I storm the rich and powerful Shu country?

Chen Yunsheng said: "Later, the emperor was afraid that the Shu Kingdom would continue to pass through Shenchuan and hit Yangtho Baa City (now Dali, Yunnan). Therefore, he ordered that all the slaves of the country of Dachanghe be gathered in the city of Yangtho and build a strong and thick wall for the royal palace. ā€

Shun Yu asked: "If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached?" If the enemy really hits the city of Yang Tho, what is the use of the walls of the palace, no matter how thick they are?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "What the princess said is right, everyone knows this truth, and the ministers also persuaded it like this." But the emperor was stubborn and arbitrary, that is, he did not listen to the advice of loyal ministers and virtuous people, and he also said that he had dreamed that an enemy came to knock on his palace gate, so he asked all the slaves in the country to build him a thicker, higher palace wall. ā€

Shun Yu said: "Faint monarch, it is really faint monarch." Alas, pity me for the people. (The Six Edicts were collectively referred to as the Mourners)

Yi Dan: "Brother Chen, if I remember correctly, slaves were completely abolished after the Qin Dynasty, why do you still have slaves in Changhe Kingdom?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "Miss Yi, don't you know, the Central Plains is upright and polite, leading the countries of the world, naturally the slave law has already been abolished. And my small southern state has always maintained the cruel and inhumane law of slavery until today. The slaves had no freedom, and were bought, sold, killed, and abused at will from birth, until they died, and their bodies did not belong to them, but were sacrificed to heaven. ā€

Yi Dan reprimanded angrily: "Hmph, it's really unreasonable, I didn't expect that there is such a barbaric and absurd method in the world, it's really unreasonable." ā€

Chen Yunsheng said: "This is nothing, everything about slaves belongs to the slave owner." They were chained in heavy chains, worked hard every day, barely fed, and when hungry they ate only weeds and bark. In order to control everything about the slaves, the slave owners made them work as coolies until they died. ā€

When Shun Yu heard this, the expression on her face began to ripple from calm, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is what you said true?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "It's true, the previous Nanzhao was like this, and it hasn't changed until now." ā€

Shun Yu said: "No wonder Nanzhao will die, this evil method of destroying human nature will not last long." The Buddha said that all beings are equal, but they worship the Buddha, but they only regard the Buddha as a tool to rule the world, and never really think about the true meaning of the Dharma. ā€

Chen Yunsheng said: "Princess, you are right, the so-called cycle of cause and effect is retribution, there is one thing, I want to tell you, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ā€

Shun Yu said: "What's the matter, please Mr. Chen, but it doesn't matter." ā€

Chen Yunsheng said: "Actually, when the elder and the ancestor of the country Zheng Maihei said that the news of the execution of more than 800 people from the Nanzhao royal family was false. ā€

Shun Yu asked in surprise, "Fake?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "Of course, it's not all fake. The truth is that about 500 of the closest royal families were executed that year, but the remaining 300 women and babies were sent to slave camps and served as state prison slaves. There are many people who are preaching that this is their retribution. Because of the Southern Zhao back then, the southern conquest and the northern war, the army was reckless, and how many people from other tribes were captured as slaves for driving and killing. Now the retribution has come upon themselves, and their wives and children, all of whom have become slaves of others. ā€

When Shun Yu heard this, his face revealed a look of horror and uneasiness, and he hurriedly asked, "What you said is the truth, where did your news come from?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "I have been in the Praetorian Guard for several years, and these news are all reliable and true facts, not rumors in the market. ā€

Shun Yu said: "You are a Praetorian Guard, then you are also sent by the Dog Emperor to kill me, why do you want to tell me this?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "The big husband should have something to say and not to do." In the lower ancestors, he was also an old minister of Nanzhao, an eighth nobleman, and received the favor of the king. After the fall of Nanzhao, the family was implicated and almost wiped out. After many pleas, the whole clan was relegated to the mountains and became commoners. ā€

Shun Yu looked at Chen Yunsheng's eyes and said, "So that's the case, it's really embarrassing for you." ā€

Chen Yunsheng: "The princess is polite. Growing up in the mountains, he met many down-and-out nobles and children of slave families. I have also seen many children of slave families, they are smart and studious, hardworking and tenacious, but they can't get rid of the identity of slave descendants no matter what, and in the end they can only be a slave and wait for the end of their lives. I tried to save them, but they all failed, so I hated this rotten and barbaric system, and I wanted to change it, but in the end I couldn't do anything. ā€

Shun Yu said: "Mr. Chen, thank you for telling me this, I didn't know until today that there were no surviving clansmen without me, but I didn't expect them to still suffer like this." It is too unfair that the mistakes of the ancestors should be punished on innocent descendants. Now that I know, I must find a way to save them. ā€

Yi Dan said: "Sister Fairy, since this is the case, why don't we go to Yang Tho Baa City together and check the real situation, what do you think?"

Shun Yu said: "I also have this intention, and I hope that the girl can help me." ā€

Yi Dan said: "Where is the fairy talking, it is an honor to be able to serve the fairy, and I can't ask for it." ā€

Shun Yu said: "The girl understands the righteousness, and Shun Yu deeply admires it. It's not too early, let's pack up and let's go. ā€

At this time, the macaque jumped over, hugged Shun Yu's calf, and looked at her with blank eyes. Shun Yu lowered his head and said to the macale: "Good ape, I'm going to another place, you take care of yourself and get along with other partners, there is a lot of food in this jungle, you have to do it yourself." ā€

The macaque rested his head on Shun Yu's calf, reluctant to let her go. Shun Yu bent down, picked up the macale and said, "After I finish my business, I'll come back here, you have to be obedient, take care!"

The macaze called softly twice at Shun Yu, and Shun Yu smiled with satisfaction.

Youming said: "This little monkey is so well-behaved, so obedient, it's really rare." Senior sister, do you think it is better than the dolphins we encountered last time on the beach of Qiongya?"

Yi Dan said: "Yes, they are all cute. I still remember that in the historical records, Han Sheng said that Xiang Yu was crowned by a monkey, but he was not a human after all. It's a pity that Han Sheng didn't know that there are many people in this world, but they are not even as good as animals. said that Mu monkey and crowned them, but also lifted them. ā€

Youming: "That's right, where can those people compare to these cute animals." ā€

Yi Dan said: "Hey, forget it, let's not talk about it for now, hurry up and help Sister Fairy pack up her things, let's hurry as soon as possible" (to be continued.) )
