The eldest princess is the sister of Emperor Shengyuan. Although she is not a compatriot, she has fought side by side and has a bit of friendship. Back then, when the enemy attacked Hancheng in Liaodong by surprise, it was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who led the crowd to defend the city. However, Zhao Luli, a general who was stationed a hundred miles away, lost his beloved wife. Can't get up, let alone help. When his subordinates risked beheading and dispatched the army to rescue them, the city of Han was already broken, and hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers were all turned into blood, and the tragic scene was like purgatory on earth.
Although the eldest princess survived by chance, she hated Zhao Luli and Emperor Sheng Yuan since then, so she guarded the border all the year round and was reluctant to return to Beijing. If it were not for a letter written by Emperor Sheng Yuan a few days ago, talking about recasting the code, reforming the tax system and land may violate the interests of the great clan, which would cause violent shocks in the court and order her to go back to Beijing to suppress it, she might never step into Yan'an in her life. One step to the Jingcheng Gate.
However, as soon as I entered the capital, I saw a woman with a peerless beauty scolding Zhao Luli as a dog, but there was no swear word in the whole article, which immediately made the eldest princess feel very comfortable, and the emperor's brother was hidden in the crowd, pretending to be. She looks like an honest bear, but her eyes are full of unrequited pain, which makes her even more happy.
What zodiac day is this hitting? Another day, we must make good friends with this Mrs. Zhenbeihou. She got on her horse, tightened the reins, bypassed the crowded streets, turned into a dark alley, and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Luli was still standing in front of Dengwen Drum with a bewildered expression on his face. Several women who had once admired him whispered, "Fortunately, when my mother asked me to marry the Marquis of Zhenbei, he rejected him, otherwise I would be in dire straits now. The Ye family was still so arrogant when they took concubines as soon as they got married. Carrying out Ye Jieyu to suppress the wife of the main room, she has the attitude of taking a concubine as his wife, if the wife of Zhenbeihou was not Guan, and any ordinary woman, she would not be able to live now!"
"Yeah! The Guan family is upright and honest. They dared to fight against Ye Jieyu and the royal family, and finally won. Other families don't have such means, and they can't teach such a bold woman."
"Just now everyone is still worrying about Guan's family. I think she can handle it completely. She is loyal, filial, and faithful. It's filthy, it can't hurt her at all."
"This is probably what Meng Sheng said, 'I look up to the sky, and I don't look down on people.'
"Exactly!" The ladies echoed one after another, and they spurned Zhao Luli for a while before dispersing. From then on, there is no more legend of "Jiaoyu son" in the capital. When mentioning the Marquis of Zhenbei, no matter which female relatives have to shake their heads and spit "disloyal and unfilial, unkind and unrighteous waste".
"Hey, I said, are you still knocking on the Dengwen drum? If you don't knock, get out of the way, I'll come!" A lame beggar hesitated for a long time, and finally stood up, followed by many frail orphans.
"I want to beat the Dengwen drum too, let me go first!" A tearful woman stepped out, picked up the drumstick and tapped without hesitation, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong... The sound of thunder's drums spread from near and far, bringing together the people who had been walking away slowly.
Zhao Luli was squeezed out of the crowd, and when he looked back, he found that Marquis Zhenxi and Emperor Sheng Yuan in disguise were standing not far away, staring at him. He didn't know when the two of them came, but he didn't talk to each other in front of him, he just bowed his hands slightly, intending to go first.
"Do you remember what you said when you entered the palace to ask for the decree?" Emperor Shengyuan stepped forward and said solemnly, "It seems that the madam can take the responsibility of the clan's wife, but you are unbearable to be the prince." And he What I want to express more is that the madam can not only bear the responsibility of the patriarch's wife, but also get the title of the mother of the country.
But he was not qualified, so he could only hold back.
Seemingly aware of the hatred and bitterness hidden in the depths of the emperor's eyes, Zhao Luli's heart beat fiercely, and then he opened a hole, something extremely important was slowly lost and never returned. The two stood at a standstill, all speechless, and suddenly heard the sound of uniform footsteps in the distance, and soon a line of guards surrounded the women and beggars who were beating the drums and asked, "Who is beating the drums? Who to sue? Why?"
"Mr. Qi, the woman (caomin) wants to sue Ye Quanyong for taking his life!" They both knelt and shouted in unison.
The passers-by shouted, never expecting this to be the fault of the Ye family, and would rather be sued with a hundred heavy sticks. One of them was a frail woman, which shows that she really hates the Ye family. It wasn't over yet, just as the two of them finished speaking, another eight or nine-year-old boy staggered to Dengwen's drum, stood on tiptoe to reach for the drumsticks on the stand, and shouted anxiously, "I also want to sue Ye. My family is killing people! I used to be the young owner of Jinxiu Village in Liushu Lane. My parents, brothers and sisters, younger siblings, grandparents, and maternal grandparents were all killed by the Ye family! He also robbed my family's cloth village and took me Mother's double-sided embroidery technique! I was shoved into a dry well by my mother and only managed to escape, I have proof!"
The guard couldn't bear it, and advised, "You are still young, and you will definitely not be able to withstand a hundred heavy sticks. If you have any grievances, go to the government to file a complaint, or come back when you grow up."
"No, when I grow up and come back, Ye Quanyong may have been executed. I would rather die with him than live. I once worshipped the emperor and opened the door. I know what is integrity and what is loyalty and filial piety!"
"Well said! Have a backbone!" A burly man came out, picked up the drumstick and tapped twice, and said loudly, "I beat this little brother for the drum, and I beat the 100-pound stick. I will also suffer for him, the world has its own righteousness, and it will not be called a traitor and chaos! The emperor dares to sacrifice his life for righteousness, the wife of Zhenbei Hou dares to stand upright, and the little brother dares to die for the family.
"Wow! What a road to see the injustice and draw a sword to help! My generation is a righteous person, how can I let you specialize in beauty? I will take care of this hundred-fold stick, not only this little brother, but also this lady's. !" Another strong young man came out.
"I'm coming too!"
"I come!"
"And I!"
Infected by all the righteous people, people kept raising their hands in response, making Xuandemen a hot one, and many old and weak women and children covered their faces and cried, and their hearts were shocked. The boy and the woman knelt on their knees and kowtowed again and again, refusing to say, "We understand the good intentions of the fathers and the villagers, and there is no need to implicate others. We will avenge our grievances and sue our grievances ourselves."
While the guards were captured by the people's righteousness, their hearts were greatly touched, and on the other hand, they did not dare to be special, so they had to send someone to report to the peak.
Emperor Shengyuan's eyes were flushed, his throat was blocked, and there was always an inexplicable emotion surging in his chest. Only then did he understand what he was doing and what kind of changes he would bring to the world. If Madam hadn't woken up, it might have taken him five years, ten years, or even longer time to understand the strength of the people's hearts and backs, and to appreciate the vastness of the convergence of public opinions.
"If you want to rejuvenate the country, first settle the people. If the people's heart is good, the injustices in the world will be wiped out. If the people's heart is evil, the country will be destroyed and the family and friends will be ruined. I spread the word and recast the code, but I did the right thing. Look at them, but also There is anger and despair after wars and turmoil? But there is also the numbness and despair of being displaced? The emperor guides him with loyalty and righteousness, and I am willing to be a model, set an example, and borrow the auspicious words of my wife. You will rule the rivers and mountains within. Madam's words are always right."
Emperor Sheng Yuan pointed to the positive and energetic people, and he felt a little proud.
Qin Lingyun nodded in agreement, but sighed in his heart: Now you say "Madame says, madam says" one by one, it's really become a specialty of Sichuan and Shu - raking ears, and it's quite self-satisfied, it's really getting deeper and deeper. .
Looking at the excited people, Zhao Luli had another feeling, as if he fell into the surging river and was about to die. Is this the sin of the Ye family? If things get worse, how will it end? The Ye family is over, what about Zhen'er? Can Houfu be immune to implication
While thinking about it, a middle-aged man wearing an official robe hurried out of Xuande Gate, sternly rejecting the people's proposal to be tortured on his behalf, and only let the guards do things according to the rules, but secretly told them to use their skill, and the boards were beaten. There was a sound, but only the outer layer of flesh was injured. After a hundred sticks, not to mention two adults, even the boy could get up quickly and thank him. The people were indignant at first, but when they saw the back come to their senses, they praised him.
"Who is this person? The law is not chaotic, but he is secretly benevolent, and he is completely flawless. He is truly a talent!" Qin Lingyun's eyes lit up and he praised.
"This person is Zhou Lekang, the eldest disciple of Old Master Guan, and the newly appointed Prime Minister Shaoshi." Emperor Shengyuan gave the person a deep look and waved his hand, "Go back to the palace."
While walking, his thoughts were mixed, and he never expected that even the "double-sided embroidery" was snatched by Ye Zhen with vicious means. What was the life-saving grace back then? Because of this woman, he lost his brother who cared for him, lost the queen who should belong to him, and perhaps missed the only soul that could walk into his heart.
His loss, his injustice, his anger, who should he complain to? Emperor Shengyuan seemed to have a fire burning in his heart. He walked halfway, and suddenly said gloomily, "Go to Tianjing, I will personally interrogate Ye Quanyong."
Qin Lingyun silently turned around and shed tears of sympathy for Ye Quanyong.
Zhao Luli didn't dare to keep up. He stood on the side of the street for a while before leaving in a daze. Suddenly, his nose felt a little cold. When he looked up, he realized that it was raining. Afraid of getting sick. He was sober for a moment, and hurriedly ran towards the palace gate in the north, where Liu's family and a pair of children were still kneeling there begging for his life.
On this side, Guan Suyi arrived at the door before the rain, took off his cloak, changed into his regular clothes, and then went to the main hall to greet him. Mr. Zhong stood anxiously waiting under the corridor, with a hesitant expression on his face. Old Master Guan and Father Guan looked as usual, and ordered their servants to prepare dishes and drinks and sit down for a light meal.
"Just now Zhao Luli made a scene with you?" Guan's father said at the old man's gesture.
"It's just a piece of shit, there won't be much trouble." Guan Suyi poured wine for her grandfather, her brows and eyes were all calm and indifferent.
Only then did Father Guan nodded and chuckled, "Okay, my son is indeed a woman and a man. Marrying a woman from a high family and a woman from a low family, one is to promote the family business, and the other is to strengthen the family. My Guan family's family business is a pair of She is arrogant and loyal, and does not need the embellishment of other vulgar things. My daughter of the Guan family is proud of herself. Daddy will completely subdue him, and see who climbs who, this is to revive his wife's gang."
Hearing this, Guan Suyi burst out laughing, but Mrs. Zhong lamented and shook her head.
