Peach Blossom

    It's just that although she has this intention, she has no idea how to appease Li Shu. Fortunately, His Majesty ordered Lu Shangshu to accompany her, and she should be a good student to ask him for advice.

    Han Wang thought a lot at once.

    Lu Shangshu invited her to talk to his mansion in the afternoon. It was still early, so don't worry, the king of Han rubbed against the princess again. The princess is well-informed, and perhaps she also knows how to appease the people.

      King Han was born in the capital and grew up in the capital. From childhood to adulthood, everything he saw was prosperous, everything he heard was splendid, and he never saw the suffering of the people with his own eyes. Even though she had the people of the two counties on her mind, she was asked to tell how the people of the two counties suffered, but she couldn't.

    "Dongcheng and Dong'an counties, are they really so critical?" the King of Han asked. In the past, she only knew that natural disasters caused the people to suffer, and extortionate and miscellaneous taxes made it impossible for the people to live, but she had never heard that even the collection of food and salaries could arouse public anger.

    She said while looking at the princess. The princess smiled helplessly and looked at her, only to see Han Wang's fair face, moist eyes, jewels inlaid in the crown, jade pendants hanging around her waist, and robes made of kesi, soft and comfortable, this piece alone is worth it hundred gold.

    It's just a child who doesn't know the hardships of the people.

    Han Wang waited eagerly for the princess to clear her doubts.

    The princess said: "If there is no emergency, the court only needs to deal with the ministers involved and return the money to the people. Why should the emperor's younger brother go to the people in person."

    The incident happened yesterday, and it is less than twelve o'clock now, and the imperial court is resolute, and it is not enough to check the scene of the two counties thousands of miles away. However, there are many capable ministers in the court, and the emperor is more diligent in politics and loves the people. The ruler and ministers have been ruling the world for a long time, and they have accumulated a lot of experience. It is less than 12 hours to interrogate and investigate, and they can smell a lot of eyes.

    "Your Highness knows that ordinary commoners can eat three meals a day, and wear one dress for one season, all of which are excellent. Many commoners are only five full for a meal, tighten their belts, and barely make ends meet. The princess explained in a warm voice, "Dongcheng and Dong'an are not rich places. The people paid taxes and looted suddenly. What else is left in the family? The cowardly people are cold and starving, and they will endure the day. How can the daring not gather all living beings to do things? The two counties are mountainous, and the people are sturdy, and there are many strong men who are not afraid of death."

    The more the King of Han listened, the more awe-inspiring he became, and said: "The minister involved is really damned, so regardless of the life and death of the people, what kind of official is he!"

    Her fair face was flushed red, and she was obviously angry. If the court didn't know about it in time, it might have caused a catastrophe.

    She is a prince, so she naturally knows that once a civil uprising is aroused, I am afraid that it will be necessary to send troops to suppress it, and then I do not know how many lives will be lost!

    The king of Han was full of rage, but when he turned his head, he saw that the princess was still calm and indifferent. She was stunned for a while, and couldn't help thinking that Ayao had lived for so many years and had seen many things in the mortal world. In her eyes, this major event that angered the dynasty was only fleeting like a cloud of smoke, not worth mentioning. .

    The anger gradually dissipated from Han Wang's face, and she looked at the princess curiously. When the princess touched her, the king of Han seemed to be inspired, and he hurriedly approached and asked the princess to touch her again.

    The princess laughed lightly, and she did as she wished. King Han narrowed his eyes, looking very comfortable, and said in his mouth, "Ayao, after thousands of years, have you seen many dynasties change?"

    She has read history books. Since the creation of the world, she has changed several times in the Wei Dynasty. The last time she changed the dynasty was more than 20 years ago. Change the country name to Wei. It is said that it is a Zen position, but in fact no one knows, it is actually usurping the throne.

    The gentle stroking of the back of her neck suddenly stopped.

    The King of Han called tentatively: "A Yao?"

    When the princess heard her voice, she came back to her senses, curled her lips slightly, and said, "I've seen it before."

    "Then the world is very miserable?"

    When the king of Han asked, he saw that the princess' eyes that were always gentle and watery seemed to be filled with sadness in an instant. The princess smiled at her, and the sadness in her eyes disappeared, as if she had seen it wrong.

    Han Wang was at a loss and didn't know what was going on.

    The princess is already answering for her: "It is very miserable, blood is flowing into rivers, bones are built into mountains, the ground is full of corpses, starved to death, killed in battle, and ... and martyred. Yes, in that world, the living are lingering, and the dead are full of hatred and resentment. Purgatory on earth, nothing more than that."

    Han Wang reached out and stroked the princess' cheek, the princess looked at her softly.

    She is a peaceful person who has practiced for thousands of years and is used to seeing the desolation of the world. But she always looked at Han Wang with such gentle eyes. The King of Han felt that at this moment the princess looked at her with an overly soft gaze, full of cherishing and love.

    Han Wang immediately blushed, both shy and happy. It's just that when she said such serious words now, she tried to ignore the hot face on her face, and said earnestly: "Therefore, those who are in power should exercise benevolent governance, and the country must not fall into such a situation."

    The princess smiled: "Your Highness said yes."

    With her approval, Han Wang was encouraged, he nestled beside her, and whispered to her how he would act. She hasn't seen the situation in Erjun with her own eyes, and she can't tell, but it's more like a child talking about her grand ambitions.

    The princess also listened carefully, occasionally saying a word or two, her eyes were always on the king of Han, as if she was looking at the most rare treasure in the world.

    After lunch, the King of Han went to Lu Shangshu's mansion.

    She was impatient, for fear that she could not do well, she just wanted to learn more from Lu Shangshu, and without any honor guard, she mounted her horse and went to the Shangshu mansion.

    Lu Shangshu has been waiting in the mansion, listening to the doorman reporting the arrival of His Royal Highness King Han, looked up at the sky, it was very early, just after noon. He straightened his clothes and Shi Shiran went out to greet him.

    Old Shangshu was over fifty years old, and his legs and feet were inconvenient. He deliberately walked slowly and walked to the front door. King Han had been waiting for a long time.

    The King of Han did not show any signs of boredom. General Lu Shangshu was about to bend over to worship, and she helped her up: "Lu Qing doesn't need to be too polite."

    According to the etiquette, the two of them, one respectable and one humble, one king and one minister, should be Lu Shangshu visiting the palace. The King of Han didn't take it seriously, he came as promised and left her to hang out outside the door for a long time. She also showed impatience and was very modest.

    Lu Shangshu is a minister of the Son of Heaven and naturally prefers the emperor. King Han acted decisively this time, unlike her usual ignorance. If this is her true face, this Highness, you can really think deeply.

      In front of this His Royal Highness the King of Han.

    At the moment, I am afraid that the king of Han may not take it seriously.

    The king of Han who "may not take it seriously" entered the house.

    Shangshu Mansion is similar to Lu Shangshu. It is rigorous and square, and even the scenery is square and upright. The servants who come and go are extraordinarily disciplined, saluting respectfully, avoiding them without looking sideways, and being very polite. The King of Han secretly looked at the old Shangshu who was leading the way beside her. The old Shangshu was unsmiling, and even walked in a particularly square manner. At first glance, he was a serious person.

    The king of Han was frightened, thinking that he would ask the old minister for various matters later, I am afraid that he would have to teach him a fierce meal.

    Lu Shangshu invited the King of Han into the main hall, and then let her sit down on the main seat, and then ordered the servants to serve tea.

    The King of Han had come all the way, and he had already figured out the problems that he might encounter when he went there.

    When the tea came up and took a sip, she began to think about how to speak.

    In the past, Lu Shangshu would say whatever he had, but after the performance of the King of Han on this day, he no longer dared to underestimate her, and considered how to speak to her.

    For a while, the two in the hall fell silent together.

    After a while, King Han spoke first. They were running out of time. His Majesty ordered them to set off as soon as possible. , it's better to ask early what you need to bring when you go out to Beijing.

    Lu Shangshu knew that the first time the King of Han was on a mission, he probably didn't know what to do. When he met her, he originally wanted to give some advice, so as not to make a mistake and end up bad. Now that King Han asked, he was not surprised, and answered it with all his heart.

    It's just that the more Han Wang asked, the more serious Lu Shangshu looked. His Royal Highness the King of Han did not know that the people were suffering, but he could think of whether to move some food from the treasury first to relieve the hunger of the people.

    Only if she can think of the resentment and anger of the people, most of which stems from the hunger of the people, she is a hundred times stronger than many playboys in Beijing who do not eat minced meat.
