Blood surged down from the hole-like wound that had penetrated him, splashing the dirty dust under his feet. His minions and subordinates had already reached the extreme level of despair and ran for their lives without looking back. Who would have thought of saving him? !
"superior!"
"Enter the city!"
"Clear the way for His Majesty!"
"Hurry up to the city wall and capture Yunzong alive!"
The shouts resounded throughout the world, but his consciousness was blurred one after another. In front of him was the fire that was going to burn everything, and it was also burning in front of him on the way to the gate of hell.
There was too much blood and it hurt too much. The pain reminded him of the time when he was an unknown little eunuch in the palace. He was caught and beaten with a cane for offending a maid in front of his beloved concubine.
He once thought that he would be beaten to death, but in the end he survived with difficulty. In a place like this, status and power determine a person's life and death. Hatred and the desire for power made him climb up at all costs.
The palace maid and the beloved concubine died in his hands one after another after he went from eunuch to eunuch until he was nine thousand years old. He was so rampant that even the empress became his puppet. He thought that he had reached the point where he would never be beaten again. It's so humiliating, but...
But, all this power was finally shattered by the sword coming from the northwest.
"I will never regret it."
He sneered hoarsely, his eyes gradually blurring, but his head was always raised, glaring in the direction of Xi Chenzhou.
"I'm waiting... Hahaha, sooner or later you will kill her... That seat can't accommodate a second person. Sooner or later you will kill her for my power, I'll wait..."
Everyone looked at him sideways, but Xi Chenzhou remained indifferent and said calmly: "You have always made a mistake."
"What… "
"I raise troops, I attack cities, I kill people, I enter the palace," Xi Chenzhou said, "It is never for the power and throne."
He raised his hand and held Tong Su. He looked sideways, his eyes soft and affectionate as the sea.
"What I have planned from beginning to end is just for one person."
On New Year's Day of this year, the Queen finally donned the dragon robe and officially took charge.
The harsh government and strict taxes were all abolished, the corrupt and corrupt officials and the weak officials who were in the position of being a vegetarian were all wiped out. There were many new scholars and talents, and the court took on a new look.
Dakang changed its country name to Tong, and changed its era name to "Yong'an". I wonder if it was God's providence. In the first year of Yong'an, the weather was good, and even the crops in the fields were harvested three points more.
The spring of the second year of Yong'an came very early. The green hills outside the city were full of spring. As I rode by, I looked around and saw the grass was rich in color.
Tong Su relaxed the reins and let the light-gold-colored Dawan horse under her seat stroll freely with a brisk smile.
"When I just left the capital, I happened to see Changning's Mansion preparing to get married. They sent a dowry one day in advance. It is said that the bride is the most beloved daughter of her mother's family, and the dowry is worth one hundred and twenty pounds."
"One hundred and twenty is too shabby. I have foresight and prepared several hundred in advance."
"...There is a marriage in your house?!"
The man nodded and muttered: "It's okay if you say yes, it's okay if you say no."
Tong Su pursed her lips: "What's the explanation?"
"If you say yes, it's because there was an oral engagement made by Wan Zhong a long time ago; if you say no, it's because," the man chuckled, "a certain unfaithful girl kept putting off the excuses. It has been a long time, but she never mentioned the six etiquettes. I doubt it." There is a suspicion of a change of heart.”
Tong Su reacted instantly and kicked the horse's belly lightly to urge it forward. Her cheeks turned red, her eyes dodged, and she suddenly started to grunt:
"Isn't it because I just took charge of the government? I've been too busy this year and have no time? It's political affairs, and it's the new year. Taifu also has to teach Gu to learn the Four Books and Five Classics."
"Have you read all of His Majesty's Four Books?"
"Almost, I basically know how to do it. What's wrong?"
"I don't understand one chapter of "The Great Learning", and I want to ask your Majesty for a big case."
"you say."
Tong Su was eager to show him her talent and knowledge, and allowed him to ask questions confidently. When she looked back, she saw the man reining in his horse with a gentle smile.
""The Great Learning" says: 'The mind is upright, then the body is cultivated, the body is cultivated, then the family is in order, the family is in order, then the country is governed, and the country is governed, then the world is peaceful.' May I ask your majesty, which one should come first between 'family harmony' and 'national governance'? What’s behind?”
"... I feel that the general has become more and more glib recently. It's better to learn what 'mind integrity' and 'body cultivation' mean before 'keeping the family together and governing the country'!"
