Li Ji was noncommittal about this.
He smiled playfully and said leisurely.
"What the king is more interested in now is, what will the crown prince think when he sees the refugees outside the city after he comes to Fu'an County?"
Hua Manman guessed: "Gao Xiancheng and the others should think of a way to transfer those refugees to other places, right?"
But Li Ji said: "With so many refugees, it may be difficult to transfer them all in a while.
There is also the matter of strengthening the embankment, the prince will definitely ask about it.
Once they learn that the dams in Fu'an County have not been reinforced, the corruption of ink will definitely not be hidden. How will they end it then? "
Hua Manman had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Could they want Magistrate Luo to be a scapegoat?"
Li Ji yawned and said indifferently.
"Who knows?"
After speaking, he stood up and walked to the bed.
Hua Manman rushed to catch up and asked.
"If our guess is true, isn't Magistrate Luo very dangerous? Should we find a way to remind him?"
It would be fine if the county magistrate Luo was a corrupt official, but from the description of the staff, it can be seen that magistrate Luo is a rare good official.
Such a good official should not end up ruined and miserable.
Li Ji turned a deaf ear to this.
He lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over his body, and said lazily.
"What does the life and death of others have to do with this king?"
Hua Manman: "If Gao Xiancheng's treacherous plan succeeds, there will be one less good official in this world. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer good officials and more and more corrupt officials. The entire court, and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be finished!"
A Gao Xiancheng is not scary, what is scary is that in other places, there are likely to be many moths like Gao Xiancheng.
They are continuously absorbing the flesh and blood of the common people.
Although ants are small, they can travel thousands of miles!
Li Ji sneered and said indifferently.
"so what?"
He looked straight at Hua Manman, his dark eyes were full of coldness.
"Whether it's a corrupt official or a good one, it has nothing to do with me. Why should I make such a head?"
Hua Manman frowned and looked at him: "Since you don't care about these things, why do you take the initiative to inquire about things in Fu'an County?"
Li Ji didn't answer the question instead.
"Because I'm in a hurry, can't I find something to pass the time?"
Hua was speechless.
This was the first time she felt such complete indifference from King Zhao since she knew him.
It was not just indifference to others, but also indifference to himself.
It seemed that even if the whole world collapsed, it had nothing to do with him.
He doesn't care about other people's life or death, nor does he care about his own life or death.
His indifference made her feel very uncomfortable.
Hua Manman murmured, "Why?"
Li Ji heard her voice, so he naturally knew what she was asking
If someone else asked this question, he would not pay attention.
But now it is Hua Manman.
It was Hua Manman who tried to cure his leg disease, it was Hua Manman who helped him forget his nightmare, and it was Hua Manman who accompanied him through life and death.
In his heart, she was already different from others.
She is different.
She deserves special treatment.
After a moment of silence, Li Ji spoke quietly, with a slightly erratic voice.
"Back when my father was betrayed and trapped in Ghost Wind Castle, my father tried his best to send me out.
When I left Ghost Wind Castle, I had a hundred guards by my side, and when I arrived in Shangjing, there were only twelve guards by my side.
The remaining eighty-eight personal guards all died on the way.
They were killed to protect me.
Because some people don't want me to come back, some people want me to die on the way back to Beijing.
But my fate is tough, and I have survived several life-and-death situations.
I gritted my teeth, stumbled back to Shangjing with injuries all over my body, knelt at the gate of the palace and begged the saint to send troops to support my father.
What is the result waiting for
It is the impeachment of the speakers.
They impeached my father for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, saying that my father cooperated with others inside and outside to deliberately lead an army of one hundred thousand into a trap, causing the entire army to be wiped out.
When the soldiers were trapped and dying in the Ghost Wind Castle, when my father was slandered and treasonous, when I knelt in front of the palace gate and begged, did anyone help me
No.
No one is willing to stand up and speak for us.
We once threw our heads and blood to defend our country, but when we needed help most, no one was willing to protect us.
They give me indifference, and I return indifference.
You ask me why I refuse to lend a helping hand to others
Because the world is not worth it. "
Hua Manman stared at him blankly.
Li Ji sneered and asked, "Is this answer satisfactory to you?"
Without waiting for Hua Manman to answer, he turned around and pointed the back of his head at her.
When Hua Manman was reading "Gong Mou", what he saw was a treacherous and vicious Prince Regent Li Ji, who never batted an eyelid for vengeance.
There is no mention of Li Ji's past in the original text, and the description of Zhen Guogong is also briefly mentioned in a few sentences.
Because none of them are the protagonists in the text, their affairs have nothing to do with the main plot.
The author does not want to waste pen and ink on them.
But their lives are real.
Everything they have experienced has been deeply imprinted in their memory, thus affecting their subsequent character and life.
Hua Manman only knew that Li Ji was indifferent, but he didn't know why he was so indifferent
It wasn't until this moment that she understood the reason.
Hua Manman sighed softly: "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
What responded to her was icy silence,
Hua Manman knew that he was in a bad mood now, so in order to prevent him from getting even more angry, she said tactfully.
"You have a good rest, I'm going to open another room."
She turned and walked out.
When she walked to the door and was about to reach out to pull the door, Li Ji's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Who told you to go?"
Hua Manman stopped and looked back at him.
Li Ji turned around at some point.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, his handsome face seemed to be coated with a layer of warm soft light, which was extraordinarily attractive.
He patted the vacant seat beside him, and said it as a matter of course like an old man.
"Come here and warm the king's bed."
Hua Manman: "..."
You have been lying in bed for so long, and now you want to let someone warm the bed
Li Ji acted as if he didn't hear her complaints, and urged impatiently.
"hurry up!"
Hua Manman moved over slowly, took off his coat and shoes and socks, opened a corner of the quilt and got in.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang had already slept comfortably in the bed.
Hua Manman picked up a ready-made cheap one.
Surrounded by warmth, she quickly relaxed and became sleepy.
She yawned and whispered to the man beside her.
"I've been disappointed in the world before, but then I met some great people who helped me pick myself up again, and I'm sure you can meet great people like them."
Li Ji responded indifferently: "Really? How come I haven't met yet?"
Huaman said vaguely.
"That means your fate is not enough.
Just wait a little longer, maybe you will meet the person who can get to know you very soon.
You can see the hidden tenderness deep inside each other.
She can also understand your mountains and rivers and respect your different choices. "
Li Ji remained silent.
It took him a long time to ask in a low voice.
"Are you?"
Got no response.
He looked down and found that the little lazy pig had closed his eyes and fell asleep.
…
Harm, I also hope that everyone can find someone who knows and cherishes me, good morning~
