Is the Scum Worthy of Whitewashing?

The courtiers became more and more confused about the thoughts of King Liang.

Over the past few days, Xu Du has issued several edicts, most of which are reforms to promote women to officials and add women’s schools. This is unprecedented in the country of Liang.

This king has always been absurd, likes alchemy magic, indulges in sensuality, and his subjects have repeatedly persuaded him and never repented. However, there is no lack of thunderous methods, rectifying the officials, introducing the old and bringing forth the new, and making a facelift, but also makes the Liang walk towards the thriving road.

For a while, I couldn't tell whether this was a faint king or a male lord?

However, there is one thing that everyone knows--

King Liang did not intend to adopt the opinions of the veterans and set up the clan’s children as heirs. He had hinted in the court that he was in favor of the princess Xu Jiang.

It was just that Xu Du never said clearly that whenever he talked about this matter with a vague attitude, the courtiers had nowhere to do their strength, and they were worried, so they had to step up the urging of the crown prince.

A woman is a king, which has never had a precedent in Liang Guo.

Now that the man in the court is still in charge, how can he convince a woman to rule the country?

"Prince King." Li You reported, "A minister's joint memorial was submitted."

Xu Du was lying on the soft couch watching singing and dancing while drinking wine-he couldn't taste the taste of this wine naturally, but I heard that it was Liang Guo's strongest wine, which can stimulate the nerves a little, and it is better than nothing.

"Throw it away." Xu Du said, "I want to know that I'm here to urge the widow to quickly set up a reserve."

Li You has served Xu Du for some time, and he has learned a little about this king. He said "throw away", that was literally, not a sullen expression. In fact, Li You had never seen Xu Du's face with a look of great joy and compassion.

Xu Du did exactly what he thought, throwing it away was just a way to deal with it. The main reason was that there were too many memorials, and Xu Du couldn't bear a messy table case.

"So..." Li You hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Since the king is interested in the princess, why not become the prince as soon as possible, so that those people can rest their minds."

"She is still too young." Xu Du said.

Xu Jiang is only fifteen this year. He has not yet reached the age of 笄 and has not yet matured. Although he thinks more deeply than ordinary women, he still acts with some innocence.

But this is only one of them. More importantly, Xu Du needs to pull out those opposing forces. Under this unresolved situation, everyone has their own thoughts and it is difficult to unite into a rebellious force. Jumping out one after another, it is very suitable for one by one to break through, kill chickens and curse monkeys.

Li You bowed his head and held his hands, standing by Xu Du's side.

Although he knew many things Xu Du had planned secretly, but in many cases, he could not figure out his thoughts.

But Li You knows very well that this is a powerful and rational monarch, and his decision-making is always calm and forward-looking.

Just like now, although Xu Du is lazily watching the dazzling singing and dancing, his eyes are indifferent and unintentional. It seems that he can always see the essence of things through the fog.

It will snow in Liangguo in winter, and the king's city is covered in silver, which looks serene and calm.

However, at night, lanterns are lit at the door of every household. Liang has a handful of artificial lanterns. Various kinds of lanterns emerge in an endless stream, especially on the night of Shangyuan. Dimmed.

Xu Du never objected to Xu Jiang going out of the palace and seeing the world. Therefore, on the night of the Spring Festival, he allowed Xu Jiang and Wei Xuan to go out of the palace to visit the Lantern Market, and Shen Cun accompanied the guards.

Li Si had buried hidden dangers before. Recently, there has been an undercurrent of forces surging. Xu Jiang's trip may be dangerous.

But she can't always let her stay under her own wings. If she wants Xu Jiang to grow up, she must give something, and she must have a deeper understanding of the cruel and fierce competition.

The lanterns are neatly hung on both sides of the street. The exquisite paper-pasted frame emits warm and melted light against the unmelted snow on the ground, and the tassels under the lamp sway gently with the wind.

Xu Jiang looked at the bustling lights on the two streets and couldn't help but smile.

Her gaze was fixed on a rabbit lamp. The little rabbit had one eye on one side, dyed a faint crimson, and her two long ears were erected high and she looked cute.

"Girl, buy one?" The vendor beckoned enthusiastically.

Although Xu Jiang wears a drapery hat, the figure of the woman is not difficult to recognize. She has stopped in front of this rabbit lamp for a long time, wanting to like it very much.

"I..." Xu Jiang hesitated.

Although she likes it, she doesn't plan to buy it. Xu Jiang is very strict with himself, and doesn't want Xu Du to think that he is playing with things.

She was about to say "Forget it", but someone next to her took a silver ingot and placed it in the hawker's hand.

Xu Jiang turned his head, Shen Cun took the rabbit lamp and met her gaze.

"The girl's husband is really considerate." The hawker took a silver coin, found the remaining money, and said auspicious words with a smile, "I wish the two have a good relationship for a hundred years and give birth to a son early."

"..."

Xu Jiangzheng wanted to tell him that he had misunderstood, but Shen Cun coughed lowly and pulled her away.

His ears are a little red.

"Tao Fu?" Xu Jiang was slightly surprised, he suddenly grabbed her, really startled.

There were relatively few people here, and Shen Cun was silent for a while, holding the rabbit lamp, and handing the light pole to Xu Jiang.

"Why?" Xu Jiang looked at him and handed the lamp, "Doesn't Tai Fu like it?"

She thought that Shen Cun had taken a fancy to the lamp, so she paid for it.

"Chen...I don't like it." Shen Cun silently spoke for a moment, "It's just that your Royal Highness likes it, so it's the duty of the minister to buy it."

Shicai didn't know what was going on, and when he recovered, he bought it in a ghostly manner.

"It's hard to play today, Taifu is too serious." Xu Jiang smiled, "You don't have to put any'duties' to your lips today. It's just a fun trip... By the way, I heard that Taifu has a younger sister. Why don't you give this rabbit lamp to Ms. Shen? Is it the best of your brother?"

If you want to come to Shen Cun at home, you must often keep your face straight, and the sisters are afraid that they dare not get close.

"No need, she doesn't like these." Shen Cun whispered, "His Royal Highness has been studying very hard during this period. This... just treat it as a reward for His Highness."

He never took it back, Xu Jiang had no choice but to take it.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

"By the way, where did Sister Xuan go?" Xu Jiang suddenly remembered, Wei Xuan didn't know when she disappeared.

Shen Cun hesitated for a while, and whispered: "She might be with Zixiang."

Zhao Rui?

Xu Jiang nodded and said in deep thought, "It's getting late, and sister Xuan's identity is different now. I'm a little worried. Let's go find her."

She had always been guarded against Zhao Rui and didn't trust Wei Xuan too deeply.

"It's not necessary." Shen Cun said, "Look, they are there—"

When Xu Jiang turned his head, he saw Zhao Rui and Wei Xuan watching the Lantern Market with their backs to her.

As if feeling it, Zhao Rui suddenly turned around and saw Xu Jiang in the crowd. Although the drapery covered her face, his intuition could always easily draw his gaze to her. .

Wei Xuan also noticed Zhao Rui's abnormality and looked over.

"She and Shen Jun stand together, so don't match up well?" Wei Xuan leaned to Zhao Rui's ear and whispered.

Zhao Rui's eyes suddenly sank, and then he concealed it and smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, An Zhi's joke is easy to make?"

The gloom of his moment did not escape Wei Xuan's eyes.

Her heart slowly sank, Zhao Rui... he really fell in love with that woman.

In fact, Wei Xuan's recent thoughts are not entirely on Zhao Rui. Since the last time I saw Xu Du at Linfeng Pavilion, she had always been thinking about the daylight scene-but that didn't mean that she would not care when she saw the scene in front of her.

Zhao Rui always attracts the attention of many women, but in Wei Xuan's view, he has never cared about anyone other than her. It's just that today he looked at Xu Jiang's eyes, although it was only a moment, Wei Xuan couldn't persuade herself to turn a blind eye.

Xu Jiang walked in front of them and was about to speak, when a cold feeling suddenly appeared on his back.

With a "swish", a feather arrow appeared from nowhere, and flew straight towards Xu Jiang.

"Be careful--" Shen Cun lost his voice.

Xu Jiang Kancan dodged to the side, and the sharp arrow passed by, cutting his sleeves.

The matter did not end there. A few people in black emerged from the alley on the side of the street, drew a bright sharp knife, and slashed in Xu Jiang's direction.

The people around were frightened and fleeing all over again, and the scene turned into a pot of porridge. During the push, the lanterns on the street fell to the ground, and the candlelight licked the paper shell. It didn't take long for a sea of ​​flames to ignite.

Those black-clothed dead men seemed not afraid of death. After cutting down a few obstructing people, they approached Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang was a little panicked, took a deep breath, quietly adjusted the sleeve arrow, held the dagger he was carrying with him in the other hand, and then lifted the hat.

Shen Cun was a little farther away, Xu Jiang was not sure whether he could have time to protect her, forced himself to calm down, concentrating on the method of self-defense he had learned before, hoping to block the next blow.

But at this moment, Zhao Rui held her wrist and shouted at Shen Cun, who was running over: "Anzhi, you resist, I will take her away—"

He dragged Xu Jiang and ran, turning around and turning into the surrounding alleys.

There is a feather arrow behind, which is hitting in the air——

The author has something to say: Xiao Jiang does not have cp! No cp! No cp!

Neither Shen nor Zhao, she doesn't like...

Everyone must remember the duck~(#^.^#)
