Who Cares

The eldest princess is the emperor sister of the Shengyuan Emperor. Although she is not a female compatriot, she has fought side by side and has a lot of friendship. In the past, the enemy attacked Hancheng in Liaodong, and the one who led the people to defend the city was Her Royal Highness Princess. However, Zhao Luli, a garrison general who was a hundred miles away, lost his beloved wife. Can't get up, let alone rush to help. When his generals arbitrarily sent troops to rescue him at the risk of beheading, Hancheng was broken, hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers were turned into blood, and the tragic scene was like a purgatory on earth.

Although the eldest princess survived by chance, she hated Zhao Luli and Emperor Shengyuan from then on, so she guarded the border all the year round and refused to return to Beijing. Had it not been for the emperor Sheng Yuan’s revision a few days ago, saying that recasting the code, reforming the tax system and the land may violate the interests of the great family, causing violent turmoil in the court and ordering her to return to Beijing to suppress, perhaps she would never enter Yan in her life. One step to the gate of Beijing.

However, as soon as I entered Beijing, I saw a beautiful woman scolding Zhao Luli as a dog, but there was no dirty word in the whole article, which immediately made the princess's gloomy mood very comfortable, and the emperor was hidden in the crowd and pretended to be She became an honest bear, but her eyes were full of pain and pain, which made her more happy.

What auspicious day is this hit? I will make good friends with this Mrs. Zhenbeihou next day. She turned on her horse, tightened her rein, bypassed the crowded streets, turned into a dark alley, and quickly ran without a trace.

Zhao Luli was still standing in front of Deng Wen Drum, with a dazed expression on his face. Several women who had admired him whispered, "Fortunately, my mother rejected him when she asked me to marry Zhenbeihou. Otherwise, she would be caught in the heat. Just getting married, I took a concubine, and the Ye family was so rampant. Bringing out Ye Jieyu to suppress the wife of the main house, she was in a posture of using a concubine as his wife. If Mrs. Zhenbeihou was not the Guan family, she would not be able to live now if she was replaced by any ordinary woman!"

"Yes! The Guan family is upright and dared to fight against Ye Jieyu and the relatives of the emperor. In the end, they won. Other families don't have such methods, nor can they teach such a brave woman."

"Everyone is still worrying about the Guan family. I think she can handle it. She is loyal to the faith and righteousness, and returns to the truth. She walks on the road of Yangguan. It can be said that if you have no desires, you are strong. It's nasty, it won't hurt her at all."

"This is probably what Meng Sheng said, "Look up to the sky, don't bow to others". It's really strong and impressive!"

"Exactly!" The noble ladies joined together, and spurned Zhao Luli for a while before they separated. Since then, there has been no legend of "Young Master Zhuoyu" in Beijing. When mentioning Zhenbeihou, no matter which family of female family members have to shake their heads, they spit out "unfaithful and unfilial, unjust waste."

"Hey, I said, have you beaten the Dengwen drum? If you don't beat it, let me go!" A lame beggar hesitated for a long time, and finally stood up, followed by many weak orphans.

"I want to beat the Dengwen drum too, let me first!" A tearful woman came out more and more, picked up the drumsticks and beat them without hesitation, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong... dull as winter The sound of Lei's drums spread from near to far, bringing the people who had already walked away slowly to gather again.

Zhao Luli was squeezed out of the crowd, and when he looked back, he found that Zhen Xihou and the disguised Emperor Sheng Yuan were standing not far away staring at him. He didn't know when the two came, but he didn't talk to his face, he just arched his hands, intending to go first.

"Do you remember what you said when you entered the palace to ask for decree?" Emperor Shengyuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "At the moment, the lady can bear the responsibility of the clan wife, but you are not worthy of being a prince." And he What I want to express is that not only does the madam can bear the responsibility of the clan wife, she also deserves to be registered as the mother of the country.

But he was not qualified, so he could only suppress it.

As if perceiving the jealousy and bitterness of the emperor hidden deep in his eyes, Zhao Luli's heart beat fiercely, and even after opening a hole, something extremely important was slowly being lost and never returned. The two stood at each other, all speechless. Suddenly heard the sound of uniform footsteps in the distance, soon a line of guards surrounded the women and beggars who were begging the drums and interrogated, "Who is playing the drums?" Who to sue? What's the matter?"

"Master Qi, the wife (Caomin) wants to sue Ye Quanyong for the life of Caosan!" The two knelt and shouted in unison.

The passers-by were horrified, and I never expected that this was the Ye Family's crime again, and would rather have to take a hundred heavy sticks to report. One of them was still a frail woman, which shows that she really hated the Ye Family. This was not over yet, when the two of them had just finished speaking, another eight or nine-year-old boy staggered to the Dengwen Drum, tiptoed up to reach the drumsticks on the stand, and shouted anxiously, "I want to sue Ye too. My family is killing people! I was originally the young owner of Jinxiu Village in Liushu Alley. My parents, siblings, younger siblings, grandparents, and grandparents were all killed by the Ye family! He also robbed my cloth shop and robbed me of me. Mother's double-sided embroidery technique! I was stuffed into a dry well by my mother to escape by luck, I have proof!"

The guard couldn't bear it, and advised, "You are still young, and you must not be able to endure a hundred sticks. If you have any grievances, go to the government to file a complaint, or wait until you grow up."

"No, when he grows up, Ye Quanyong may already be punishable. I'd rather die with him than live. I have worshipped the emperor's seat to enlighten people. I know what integrity is and what is loyalty and filial piety!"

"Well said! Have a backbone!" A sturdy man came out, took the drumstick and knocked twice, and said in a loud voice, "I have beaten the drum for this little brother. Also suffer for him, the world has its own righteousness, and it is not called a traitor! The emperor dares to sacrifice his life for justice, Mrs. Zhenbeihou dares to be upright, the little brother dares to die and die in family hardship, we should also be divided when we see injustices!"

"Wow! It's a good time to draw a knife to help! I am a righteous man, how can you let you be beautiful? I will bear this one hundred sticks, 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 the righteous men, people kept raising their hands to respond, and the Xuande Gate was in full swing, and many old and weak women and children covered their faces and cried, shocking their hearts. The boy and the woman knelt down on the ground and squatted their heads, refusing to say, "We understand the kindness of the fathers and villagers. We don't need to involve others. We will avenge our grievances, and we will sue our grievances."

On the one hand, the guard was taken by the people's austerity, and his heart was greatly moved. On the other hand, he dared not be expert, so he had to send someone to report to the summit.

Emperor Sheng Yuan's eyes flushed, his throat was blocked, and there was always an inexplicable surging emotion surging in his chest. Only then did he understand what he was doing and what changes he would bring to the world. If it weren't for his wife to wake up, it might take him five, ten, or even longer years to understand the strength of the people's hearts and to appreciate the vastness of the people's will.

"If you want to rejuvenate the country, first settle the people. If the people's heart is good, the world will be destroyed. If the people's heart is evil, the country will be ruined, and relatives and friends will be destroyed. Is there the hostility and despair of war-torn? But there is the numbness and depression of the drifting? The emperor guided him with loyalty and righteousness, and I was willing to be a model, set an example, and borrowed his wife's good words. He will dominate the rivers and mountains within. Madam’s words are always correct."

Emperor Sheng Yuan pointed to the positive and vigorous people with a sense of pride.

Qin Lingyun nodded in agreement, but sighed in his heart: Now you have a mouthful of "said the lady, said the lady", you really have become a special product of Sichuan and Shu-raking ears, and you are quite content with it. It is really getting deeper and deeper. .

Looking at the turbulent people, Zhao Luli had another feeling, as if falling into the surging river, almost dying. Is this the sin committed by the Ye Family? If things get worse, how will the ending end? Ye family is over, how about Zhen'er? Can the Hou Mansion be spared from being implicated?

While thinking about it, a middle-aged man wearing an official gown hurriedly walked out of the Xuande Gate, and he sternly rejected the proposal of the people to be tortured. He only asked the guards to follow the rules, but secretly instructed them to make a clever effort. The sound was loud, but only a little bit of skin was injured on the outer layer. After a hundred sticks, not to mention two adults, even the boy could get up to thank you gracefully. The people were still indignant at first, but when they saw the back awakened, they praised them.

"Who is this person? The law is not messy, but he is secretly acting on benevolence and righteousness. He does not leak all the time. He is really a talent!" Qin Lingyun's eyes lit up and admired.

"This person is Mr. Guan's elder disciple Zhou Lekang, the newly appointed Prime Minister Shaoshi." Emperor Sheng Yuan gave that person a deep look and waved his hand, "Go back to the palace."

While walking, his thoughts were mixed, and he never expected that Ye Zhen had even snatched the "double-sided embroidery" with vicious means. What kind of internal affairs was that year's life-saving grace? Because of this woman, he lost his daring brother, the queen who should have belonged to him, and perhaps the only soul that could walk deep into his heart.

His loss, his injustice, and his anger, who should he talk to? Emperor Sheng Yuan seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and when he walked halfway, he suddenly said gloomily, "Go to the prison, I want to interrogate Ye Quanyong myself."

Qin Lingyun turned silently and gave Ye Quanyong a tear of sympathy.

Zhao Luli didn't dare to follow. He stood on the side of the street for a while before leaving blankly. Suddenly he felt a slight coolness in his nose. He looked up and found that it was raining. The rain was thin and dense, carrying the roughness and hardship of the cold spring, and it took a while to get wet. I'm afraid I will get sick. He was sober for a while, and hurried to the palace gate to the north. Liu was still kneeling there and begging for orders with a pair of children.

On this side, Guan Suyi hurried to the house before it rained, took off his cloak, and changed his normal clothes before going to the main hall to ask for peace. Zhong clan stood worryingly under the porch and waited, his face showing hesitant but hesitant expression. Father Guan and Father Guan looked as usual, and ordered their servants to prepare dishes and drinks, and sit down to have a light meal.

"Just now Zhao Luli had a trouble with you?" Father Guan said under the sign of the old man.

"It's just a trash, it won't cause much trouble." Guan Suyi was pouring wine for his grandfather, his brows and eyes were calm and indifferent.

Guan's father nodded and chuckled, "Okay, my son really doesn't want to be shaved. The high-class marrying the daughter, the low-class marrying the wife, one is for the promotion of the family business, and the second is for the promotion of the husband. My Guan family's family business is one pair Zhengzheng arrogant, a brave and loyal, no need for embellishment with other vulgar objects, my daughter of the Guan family is worthy of admiration, she is not ashamed, and does not need to be compromised, humiliated and humiliated. Didn't he talk about our Guan family's high climb before marriage in Beihou Mansion? Daddy completely overwhelmed him, to see who climbed the other, this is the goal for his wife."

Hearing this, Guan Suyi laughed "pouch", but Zhong clan sighed repeatedly and shook his head.
