The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

After the old emperor left, the crown prince succeeded to the throne. Unexpectedly, it was too late to continue his father's actions. A year later, he also died of illness. When he died, he had no sons and no crown prince. The minister assisted the only young prince to ascend the throne, and the little emperor was only seven years old that year.

The little emperor's biological mother was originally just a concubine in the prince's mansion. After the little emperor ascended the throne, this concubine became the queen mother in one step. Even the original queen had to back down. In the end, the original queen simply became a monk, avoiding the struggle between the court and the harem.

The people in the north have less scruples than those in the south when talking about the affairs of the court. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Compared with the south, it is much easier, at least there is something to eat, unlike the imperial court where the empress dowager made a mess, and some places are simply destitute.

"That's not it." As soon as Zhang Meng talked about the situation in the south, Zhang Meng couldn't stop, looked around, and told Xu Bei an extremely ridiculous thing in a low voice, "If that woman goes on like this, she won't be able to wait until the little girl The emperor grows up, the court is afraid..." He didn't say the consequences directly, but a series of tsk-tsks had already told Xu Bei the possible outcome, the "woman" he was talking about was no one else, but the little emperor's biological mother, the current Empress Dowager.

"In autumn, the woman said on a whim that she was going to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha. She ostentatiously passed along the way, which aroused public resentment. In order to please this woman, the local officials spent extravagantly. One of the provincial capitals happened to be flooded on the way, but the local officials wanted to pretend It was a prosperous scene, but the local people suffered a lot, and they were forced to stop and sue, and let the woman punish the officials who oppressed the people, and guess what happened?"

"Could it be that the officials killed those common people?" Although it was unimaginable, Xu Bei touched his chin and said it. In fact, he heard that the queen mother's background was very ordinary, and he heard a few superb things, so It is not impossible to do the best thing.

"Brother, you are really right. That woman thinks that those untouchables ran into Fengjia, and asked people to drag all the people who stopped them to death. Even their family members will be questioned, but it was just The person who stopped the driver and filed a complaint was made so by that stupid woman. The officials forced the people to rebel, and the local people who had no way to survive simply rebelled. "Although Zhang Meng lowered his voice, he still had an expression of righteous indignation when he talked about this matter, talking about that woman one by one, obviously he had no respect for the present queen mother.

Xu Bei was dumbfounded when he heard that, this is no longer a word "stupid" can be summed up, it is a rare thing that the court can still stand firm and not be overthrown: "My dear, fortunately I am not with the court, I am still under the rule of King Dingbei life will be easier." At least this year's drought, the higher authorities not only exempted them from taxes, but also allocated relief money to relieve the affected people. Compared with the imperial court, it is obvious that King Dingbei is much more popular.

"Then the imperial court will let this woman mess around?" Xu Bei asked.

"How can it be, now we are all counting on the little emperor to take power as soon as possible, then the woman will have no reason to interfere in politics, but..." Zhang Meng frowned and hesitated.

"Could there be any twists and turns?"

Zhang Meng sighed and said: "How wise do you think the emperor who was brought up by this woman can be? I am afraid that he will inherit her stupidity, so what should I do? Besides, besides Tuogu Minister Fu Taishi, how many other little emperors are there for the little emperor?" Uncle is alive, those few are not safe, alas, I really can't count on it."

Xu Bei also had nothing to say. Based on what Zhang Meng said alone, he was not optimistic about the court anymore. He had no respect for the royal family and the court when he was a foreigner. In his opinion, the emperor didn't take turns. Sitting, it doesn't matter whether the court's surname is Liao or Xiao, he will support whoever can make him live a stable life.

If there is going to be chaos, it will be a few years at night, at least wait for some windfalls in his hands to have a shelter, otherwise the army will be chaotic, and ordinary people will be the most likely to be cannon fodder.

"Brother Zhang should find a way to move to the north of us. At least we can have a stable life here." Xu Bei persuaded. It may be that the people below cover the sky with one hand. No matter how wise King Dingbei is, he can't guarantee that all the people below are honest and upright. What's more, according to what Brother Zhang said before, the imperial court has placed people in the north, so who did this matter? It's not clear that the common people have nowhere to go to seek justice.

"Okay, don't talk about those frustrating words, come and have a drink with brother." Zhang Meng poured tea for Xu Bei, touched his teacup, and drank the wine in the bowl.Xu Bei stopped persuading him, and Brother Zhang must have his own difficulties.

At the end of the meal, Zhang Meng was a little drunk, and Xu Bei sent him back to the boat before going back. When he returned to their rented house, he saw Min Qing holding a book in his hand, and he immediately felt relieved. No matter how difficult the day is, if someone is by your side, you will not feel that the day is difficult.

"Wash your hands and have dinner. This is your brother Zhang's treat and asked me to bring it back to you. I have already eaten it."

"Okay, brother." Xu Minqing threw away his books and ran out to wash his hands.

Xu Bei picked up the book his younger brother was reading and flipped through a few pages, and suddenly felt dizzy. In his last life, he didn't even finish high school, and since then he has been breaking out in society. Although he admires the educated scholars, it's really cool for him to do this job. I can't go on, not to mention that the book is all in traditional characters, even if I guess it, I can't guess it all.

Throwing away the book, Xu Bei didn't feel too depressed. In his previous life, he knew that he was not such a material. What's more, in this life, he had such a smart brother by his side. Even if he wrote a letter in the future, someone would write it for him, so there was nothing to worry about. Just have a good brother.

Xu Minqing, who washed his hands and walked in to prepare to eat, saw this scene and couldn't help being amused. The elder brother still doesn't like reading books. He came back from school to teach the elder brother how to read, but unexpectedly he fell asleep while teaching the elder brother. , and snored, and my father also said that my eldest brother has a temper like him, and the old Xu family doesn't have the talent for reading, so I will rely on him to earn face for the old Xu family in the future.

"Brother, you can eat some more with me."

"No need, your brother, I won't starve myself, you eat, I'll go to the yard and punch for a while."

"Okay, brother, you fight, I will watch."

The house they rented has two main rooms with a small kitchen, and a small yard of more than ten square meters in front for the two brothers to do activities. Since moving here, Xu Bei has been exercising in the yard sooner or later. What are you doing? It won’t work if you don’t have a good body. In their previous life, their logistics company recruited a lot of veterans. They learned military boxing from them. In their previous life, they kept exercising. It's also easy to pick up.

Although the body has not yet recovered, the original body has been working in the fields before, and his strength is not small, so a set of military body punches is also vigorous and powerful.

Xu Minqing, who was having dinner with his elder brother who was boxing, occasionally had doubts flashing in his mind. Some parts of his elder brother seemed to be different from before, and he never mentioned that he had learned boxing, but he quickly left it behind, and disasters followed one after another. Afterwards, even he was changing quietly, not to mention the eldest brother, the burden on the eldest brother was heavier than him, if he didn't adjust himself, wouldn't he be crushed.

Moreover, the elder brother's love for him has not changed, and he should redouble his efforts to repay the love of his parents and elder brother.
