Dressed as the cannon fodder of the princess's house

The horseshoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the stone bricks of the long street. The freshly melted snow turned into water, and a thin layer of ice formed on the corner of the street. On weekdays, children especially like to play on the ice, but today the long street is empty. Alone, like entering an empty city.

The windows on both sides were tightly closed. Occasionally, some impatient people would push them away and take a look outside. Their eyes touched those people in black clothes and riding tall horses, and they quickly retracted their heads and closed the windows even tighter.

The sky in the imperial city changed overnight.

The officials in the court, the smart ones had expected such a day long ago, while the stupid ones were scared like quails, restless at home, for fear that it would be their turn to be unlucky at any time. time passed.

"Mother, who are those people outside?" An ignorant child asked softly, in exchange for a few reprimands from an adult.

"It's a big man who can't be messed with. You are not allowed to go out today, stay at home honestly, or you will be arrested and put in a prison. At that time, you will never be able to get out for the rest of your life!"

After scaring their mischievous child into silence, the husband and wife looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I saw that all the guards walking outside seemed to be paulownia lamp guards. I recognized the marks on them. I thought it was some important person who committed the crime. It must be the princess of Chang'an who was doing harm to the people. The noise was loud this time, and I don't know what happened. Who is it, after the results come out, we must go and take a good look!"

Those big figures who are usually high above commit crimes, and the biggest feeling for the common people is happiness. As long as they are not involved, they will be very happy. This is the first. Only then will a good official come up.

In a feudal society, if officials don't act, the lives of the people will be miserable. This is why the paulownia lamp looks so scary, and the people still love the Princess Chang'an very much.

Because the common people know that the paulownia lamp is on their side, will not harm them, and will help them.

The people in the past didn’t have such good knowledge, they couldn’t tell who was good and who was bad, but now it’s different. Ever since Yueqing came back, he has been keeping a close eye on public opinion. Yueqing is very clear about the influence of public opinion on people, besides Xu Qingjun is a person who values ​​reputation. Although she doesn't say it now, Yueqing knows very well that Xu Qingjun still cares about it.

If conditions permit, Yueqing will of course earn Xu Qingjun a good reputation.

"The material witnesses and witnesses are all ready, and the next thing is to convict, Mr. Qing, do you really want to enter the palace alone?" Yue Qing looked at the several sheets of paper on the table, and there were countless pieces of paper on the thin sheets of paper. human life.

She was angry, and at the same time worried more about Xu Qingjun.

The imperial city is at the feet of the emperor, and those few papers are just what happened in the imperial city in the past two years. What happened in Chang'an before, Tongmu Deng has not yet found out.

But looking at the leopard, from the past two years, one can imagine how many crimes there were before. Does the emperor really know nothing about this kind of thing happening under the eyes of the emperor?Yueqing didn't believe it.

Xu Qingjun held Yueqing's hand tightly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

She planned to go to the emperor alone, and then convict those people. Xu Qingjun could already imagine how the emperor would react.

The emperor may be very reluctant, but there are some things that the emperor can't just do if he doesn't want to.

The emperor is the master of the world, the world respects him as the master, he is responsible for the whole world, and he cannot bend the law for personal gain.

Having been a wise emperor for half his life, Xu Qingjun didn't think that the emperor would become a foolish emperor for the sake of his two sons.

"The emperor may listen to you and give an explanation to the world and the people, but it doesn't mean he won't hold grudges. Of course, as long as we act upright, we won't be afraid of him holding grudges. I worry about you mainly because of the prince." Yue Qing After thinking about it, he still expressed his thoughts, "The character of the prince does not seem like a wise king."

As the crown prince, the prince is a bit too weak.

On the one hand, he pays too much attention to feelings, and on the other hand, the prince's temperament is extremely cowardly raised by the noble concubine.

You can't tell it on weekdays, but once something happens, you can find the cowardice of the prince. He will not take the initiative to challenge or change anything. He prefers to do things within the original framework. When dealing with national affairs, he has become a follower. The king who defended the city in ancient law, but in the world, he became a puppet at the mercy of others.

If the crown prince becomes the emperor in the future, Yueqing can hardly imagine the scene. The crown prince has suffered such a great grievance, and the crown prince wants to endure it. Such a character that makes his own people suffer, and makes outsiders and even enemies laugh, Da Zhou fell into the trap. In his hands, I am afraid that the country will perish.

"I'll talk about the prince's matter later. The most important thing right now is to deal with the second prince and the third prince." Xu Qingjun knew that the prince's character was not suitable for being an emperor. She knew it from the beginning, but among the four sons born to the emperor, only The prince can barely be considered a character.

The crown prince, who was educated by the prince since he was a child, does very well in small things. At least the things that the emperor entrusted to him in these years, he has done very safely.

Xu Qingjun used to think that she would assist the prince well in the future so that the prince would gradually become a qualified emperor, but now her thinking has changed.

From now on, she wants to be with Yueqing all the time, but she has a lot of resistance to being together.

Don't look at the fact that no one jumped out now, it's because those people thought she was joking and couldn't take it seriously.They thought that when Xu Qingjun said that he liked Yueqing, it was like when the eldest princess said that she liked a man and wanted to stay with him forever.As a result, it didn't take long before the eldest princess fell in love with another one.

The eldest princess also said that she didn't want to have children, but it didn't take long for Xu Qingjun to appear.After being annoyed by the nagging, the eldest princess had the idea of ​​taking a step back.

The eldest princess can take a step back, but Xu Qingjun can't. If you take this step, you can't turn back.

After Xu Qingjun left, Yueqing was so worried that she walked around in circles in the room. Cuirong came in to watch her walk around twice before being dizzy.

"Xiaoqing, can you sit down properly? You don't turn dizzy, I feel dizzy." Cuirong pulled Yueqing forcefully to sit on a chair beside her, and then asked, "What happened?" What? Why are you all so busy?"

The affairs in the palace were full of uproar, but in fact the scope was limited to the court, and the people had not heard too much. As for Cui Rong, who is most keen on gossip, she didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter.

Knowing that no more useful information could be obtained from the people in the house, Cui Rong came to Yue Qing.

Yue Qing thought that this matter has come to an end, the truth of the matter has been found out, there is no need to hide it, so he simply satisfied Cui Rong's curiosity, and said everything, "What happened at the dinner party a few days ago, You should have figured it out."

"I heard from the cook that a maid who died the next day, or the maid who was serving the princess, was related to the foreign minister, and the foreign minister was punished. Isn't this matter a beginning and an end, is it over? "

Cui Rong is worthy of being Cui Rong, even if Yue Qing ordered her not to mention more, she still got the general idea of ​​what happened at the banquet.

"The foreign ministers just took the blame. It was the second prince and the third prince who really attacked. They took a fancy to the court lady and insisted on snatching it away. Not only the palace maid, but also the victims who were found out by the Tongmu lamp were all unknown. The female family members in the palace, including some low-ranking concubines newly brought into the palace by the emperor." Yueqing suppressed his disgust and told the matter, "The palace will absorb a group of court ladies every year and release a group of court ladies. The second and third princes take this opportunity to They wantonly recruit good-looking maids to enter the palace. Some ministers will stay in the palace overnight, and they will be sent to the palace if they have something to do."

In name, the court ladies are the emperor's women, and the second and third princes are simply poaching the emperor's corner.

Cuirong was shocked when she heard this, "Why did the second and third princes do this?"

They are princes, if they really have a court lady they like, it is not impossible to take concubines directly, even if they take more concubines, they will only be called romantic.What's more, if the two princes are really good at what to do with the maids, they can set up a brothel outside the palace, or even hook up with the secretary of the Jiaofang, and have fun with those ministers in private.

Although these behaviors are out of line, they are much safer than provoking court ladies.

The behavior of molesting the palace lady is purely superfluous by taking off his pants and farting.

"I heard Madam Xing say that ministers stay overnight in the palace in the vestibule, and the maids in the vestibule can have sex with the ministers, why do they insist on messing with the promiscuous maids?" Cuirong really couldn't understand this kind of behavior.

Le Qing smiled faintly, "Probably because of excitement."

At the beginning, they might have done what Cui Rong said, but later they found that no one had noticed their behavior, so they started to intensify, and finally extended their hands to the court ladies and low-ranking concubines.

It's like some perverts who abuse cats and dogs will eventually develop into abusers. They are abnormal, and it is too embarrassing for ordinary people to understand their behavior with ordinary people's thinking.

Cui Rong was persuaded by Yue Qing, think about it carefully, if she was born to be a prince who has no worries about food and clothing, with a respected elder brother above, and a younger brother who is favored below, and they are twins, At that moment, there was no possibility of getting the throne, maybe... no!She will never do such a thing!

Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the days without worrying about food and clothing?The old birthday star hanged himself, and he can't pursue excitement like this!

Yueqing saw the shadow of reality from this incident. It has to be said that reality is always more dramatic than fiction, and there are all kinds of people.

It was already late when Xu Qingjun came back, and the tiredness in her brows could be seen at a glance, but her expression was not serious, and it seemed that things turned out well.

Pushing open the door, under the light, she saw Yueqing leaning on her hands and dozing off under the light.

I don't know what I dreamed of in my sleep, my brows were furrowed, and my mouth kept murmuring.

Xu Qingjun was taken aback for a moment, and secretly made up his mind that she should make herself stronger so that her beloved would no longer feel uneasy.

The author has something to say: I... still embarked on the road of wanting to win the position

The main reason is that I feel that in a feudal society, the emperor is the one who lives the most comfortably. Other positions make me feel that I am not strong enough to completely protect my lover.

good night
