After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

Lou Rongrong paused with both hands holding the teacup, and looked up at him in surprise.

Seeing her gaze, Ying Ze turned his head away instead, avoiding looking at her:

"Forget it, just pretend to be alone and say nothing."

Lou Rongrong was surprised.

She didn't expect that although she knew that the rumors were not true, but were deliberately released by someone with ulterior motives, Ying Ze did take her own place and seriously examined this issue:

As an emperor, is he really doing well enough?

Lou Rongrong was not in his position, so it was inevitable to ignore it for a while. For Ying Ze, his words and deeds, every tiny decision, may have a great impact on the entire country, but when manpower is exhausted, In the end, there are some things that he can't do even as the Ninth Five-Year Master.

For example, those people who died in the wind and snow, didn't Ying Ze want them to survive?He thought, and a few days ago, he had already ordered the household department to mobilize charcoal and other materials as soon as possible to go to Gyeonggi for disaster relief, but the household department dared to slack off corruption, and finally let the people freeze to death in the snow.

When Lou Rongrong saw the tragic scenes, he would only feel sad for a moment, and then condemned the officials who did not act in his heart, but Ying Ze, as an emperor, would inevitably feel a certain sense of guilt, even if the people received assistance later. , life back on track, can not dilute the pain in his heart.

In the carriage, there was an unspeakable silence. Ying Ze lifted up a corner of the curtains in a concealed manner, looked out of the window silently, pursed his lips, and tensed his jaw line. It was obvious that his heart was not at peace, but he refused to Open your mouth to confide.

Lou Rongrong knows that no matter whether she admits that Ying Ze is a wise enough monarch, or that he is indeed lacking, he may not be able to untie Ying Ze's knot.

What Ying Ze really struggled with was not whether he was wise or not, but the lingering sense of guilt, whether he should take responsibility for the deaths of those common people, whether it was the relatives of those common people, or whether he was willing to believe in him as an emperor, It is whether he can prevent such things from happening again in the future.

She was silent for a long time, then suddenly said:

"I do not know."

Although Lou Rongrong was made to ignore his question just now, the moment Lou Rongrong spoke, Ying Ze subconsciously turned around and met Lou Rongrong's gaze.

He moved his lips, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he pursed his lips hard, turned his head back, and looked out the window again.

But Lou Rongrong put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the teapot and poured tea, and amidst the sound of pouring tea, he seemed to be talking to himself:

"When I was young, when I didn't meet my elder brothers and them, because I had no parents, I was always hungry and full. Whether I could get enough to eat depended on luck. In winter, I could only pick up the clothes lost by others to wear. , The place where I live is also very cold, and the wind leaks can't keep out the rain and snow. I can only survive because of God's blessing. At that time, I didn't even think about whether the person who is now the emperor is doing well."

Upon hearing this, Ying Ze turned to look at her in surprise.

Ever since he knew Lou Rongrong, he had never heard Lou Rongrong mention what happened before he met Fei Wusu. He thought it was because Lou Rongrong was too young at that time and had forgotten it long ago, but he never thought that Lou Rongrong was so young. , but still remember clearly.

What Lou Rongrong is talking about is actually her previous life in modern times. At that time, she really only wanted to survive, and never considered who would be the leader, who the mayor was, who the county magistrate was, and what they did These things are actually too far away for an ordinary person who just wants to live.

But after a while, Ying Ze felt that Lou Rongrong should only say this to comfort himself, so he lowered his eyes and said, not without abandoning himself:

"You don't need to comfort Gu. You were young at that time, so naturally you wouldn't think of the principles of family, country, and world, but the people of the world are..."

Lou Rongrong was not in a hurry, she just got up and put the poured tea in front of Ying Ze, and continued:

"Indeed, I didn't understand anything at that time. I only occasionally heard the uncle who sold steamed buns say, 'This year's business is not easy', or 'The price of rice and noodles has risen again'... In this case, the common people may not know that the emperor The virtuous are not wise, but they know whether life is good or not. Except for scholars, officials and gentry, ordinary people will not judge whether the emperor is wise or not like a historian. better days."

"but--"

Lou Rongrong raised her head, looked directly at Ying Ze, and said:

"The emperor's elder brother should know that sometimes, a wise monarch, the subjects under his rule may not be able to live a good life. Emperor Wu reused the grassroots, but the family was in trouble; Emperor Yang of Sui built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and later generations benefited from it." However, the people of the dynasty suffered from corvée; Song Gaozu relied heavily on literati, but the military generals were despised, so it was difficult to deal with it, and the people were prosperous in trade, but they were oppressed by powerful countries..."

"Whether the emperor is virtuous or not is a matter of thousands of people and thousands of words, and each has its own discussion. Rongrong thinks that this question itself is not of great significance. Rongrong once read a sentence called 'Hundreds of goodness and filial piety come first, and the original intention is not the same. Original trace, original trace There is no filial son in a poor family. All evils are headed by adultery, regardless of the heart, and there are few perfect people in the world', Rong Rong feels that being a monarch is also similar to this, but doing what he can for the people If the limit is reached, just ask your heart and have no regrets.”

"Achieve the limit of what you can do for the people...the original intention is not the original..."

Ying Ze muttered to himself, repeating Lou Rongrong's words, the expression on his face finally relaxed a little, and he laughed at himself and said:

"Unexpectedly, one day, a child of yours will be asked to relieve the orphan."

Lou Rongrong smiled and said:

"Since the emperor's brother can hear the intention of the fluffy, then he will soon follow the fluffy intention, drink some hot tea, relax and relax, don't spoil yourself like this, when you return to Beijing, you still have something to do. Woolen cloth."

After returning to Beijing, although Ying Ze inevitably still had some grievances in his heart, after being relieved by Lou Rongrong, he was much better.

The court quickly dealt with the negligent officials of the household department and Sinong Temple, and provided shelter and subsidies for the disaster-stricken people to recover from the snow disaster as soon as possible. The corresponding relief was provided, and finally an explanation was given to the people who suffered from the snow disaster.

Spring is getting warmer. After this abnormal heavy snowfall, the capital is finally warming up. The willows are sprouting new buds, the grass is slightly moist, and everyone’s clothes are getting thinner. It’s the mildest time of the year again, when warblers fly and grass grows, and everything reproduces. .

Of course, apart from vegetation and animals, this is also the time of the year when weddings are most often held, so when Lou Rongrong learned that Ying Shihua was going to get married soon, she was not too surprised.
