"We have to copy more trails. Let's not go to town unless we have to Xia Xiaoran finished, turned to look at some dusty but still can not hide the noble royal temperament of the king. Frowning, he said: "but your highness King Wei... You are not an ordinary person. As soon as you show up, you will be recognized."
With that, Xia Xiaoran lowered his head, seemingly looking for something in four. On the side of the wagon stop, there is a black mud wetland. She took the king and ran to him. She didn't care about the dirt. She picked up a large piece of soil and wiped it off his face and body. The soil was damp and smelling of grass. Wei Wang frowned and wanted to scold the presumptuous woman, but he saw her serious face, and his query was swallowed directly.
"Your temperament is too obvious, your highness. You will not be too conspicuous in this crowd. It's no different from ordinary people. In addition, I, my sister and crescent moon will cover for you. There should be no problem getting to town. "
Because many soldiers were sent to the battlefield during the war in the Han and Zhao states. What's more, they were all small places, and they didn't pay much attention to the wanted warrants assigned by Kyoto.
He is the prince of Tang Dynasty. How can he come to such a small place.
Everything is like God's blessing, Xia Xiaoran and his party arrived at the Han Zhao border without danger. Now the city they are in is Weiyang City, one of the four cities which was cut to Zhao after the defeat of the Han Dynasty.
In ancient times, apart from the transfer of the ownership of land, the people who lived in it also had to transfer along with it. Before Wei Wang arrived at Weiyang City, he thought that the public order of Weiyang city should be extremely disordered. After all, the city had just changed its owner, and the people of Weiyang city had belonged to the Han state for decades, so they should have special feelings for the Han state. Zhao sent troops to stay and manage. According to him, there should be people fighting for his country.
But after arriving at Weiyang City, the scene in front of him was greatly beyond his expectation.
"What? You look surprised? " Xia Xiaoran chuckled, then said to Wei Wang in a very frivolous tone.
Weiyang city is one of the battlefields where the state of Han fought with the state of Zhao not long ago. Because of the fighting, the people in the city had already fled. Even if there was any left, they were just some old, weak, sick and disabled. Just like Qingyun city at that time.
But now, there are a lot of cars and horses, and all kinds of snack stalls and rouge powder stalls on the street are in an endless stream. They are eye-catching, shouting high and low, and all of the shops are open, like the world.
Moreover, when Xia Xiaoran, Wei Wang and others entered the city, they lined up for half an hour before their turn. When the city guards saw the poor people, they all treated them with courtesy, instead of cursing and being rude like other officers and soldiers in the Han Dynasty.
Weiyang is much more prosperous than before. Many of the people in the surrounding towns are heading for Weiyang city.
King Wei didn't pay attention to Xia Xiaoran. He just frowned. Then he stopped one of the people who had just entered the city. Seeing that he was carrying his luggage, he was definitely not the local population of Weiyang city.
"This little brother."
"I'd like to ask, was this Weiyang city so prosperous in the past? Why do so many outsiders come to this city? "
The little brother who was stopped had a good temper. He didn't blame King Wei for stopping him abruptly. Just look at his face, it seems that there is something urgent.
"I think you're from other places, too. Don't you come here because you're in Weiyang, where you really have the hope to live? If you want to settle down in Weiyang, you'd better go to the county government for population registration! I have something else to do. I'll leave first! "
Then the little brother left in a hurry. But Wei Wang, who was standing there with some dirty things on his face, was lost in thought.
Xia Xiaoran saw it, strode forward and patted the man's shoulder bravely: "what's wrong with this? But... You used to live a life of a general and an officer, even if you used to March and fight outside. Of course, you can't feel the suffering of these ordinary people who depend on nature and have no power to bind chickens. "
"Now that the war has just ended, the Han state has promised so much compensation to the Zhao state. Royal life is extravagant. If you look at the prosperity and obscenity of the capital city of the Han Dynasty, you can see that even in wartime, those in the palace, ranging from the king and queen to the palace eunuch, are living a life of extravagance. The National Treasury has not known the deficit for a long time. The State Treasury can't give money, and the ministers all have their own pockets. Even if they are rich, it's impossible to say with dignity that they want to donate money to the country. So we have to suffer these people. "
What Xia Xiaoran didn't say is that, unlike the extravagance and lust of the Han Royal family, Zhao's court life was extremely simple, the king was modest and loved the people like a son. Therefore, even in wartime, the public security of any city in Zhao's territory was still rigorous and orderly, let alone any trouble.
Compared with the Han state, the life of Zhao state is undoubtedly the thing that the common people yearn for most. The four cities in the border area, which had just been taken over by the state of Zhao, became the best places for the Han people to go.
"I just didn't expect that the poor people in the Han Dynasty would suffer so much..."
"These people don't want anything. Whoever can give them food, clothing and family is the king. In fact, they don't care what the monarch's surname is. In troubled times, the concept of family and country has always been very weak. "
"I said, your highness, why do you think so much at this time! What we should think about now is how to enter the Zhao palace. You can be a common people first. We have almost enough money. Penniless, you can't rush to the gate of the Zhao palace and shout that you are the Wei king of the Han Kingdom, can you? As far as your old man's "achievements" in leading the army and fighting in the past few years are concerned, it is estimated that the king of Zhao has not seen you. The people who want to kill you can't be counted in the capital of the city. I have to explain my life! " Xia Xiaoran actually just casually said, but did not find that the vision of this Wei Wang to see her also changed. Although I've been with Xia Xiaoran for half a year, it's just that he is the king of Wei. In fact, he hasn't thought about and looked at the woman in front of him. She's smart and intelligent. She's not like an ordinary woman at all. She's brave and decisive. She's resourceful and resourceful. She rescued her mother's wife and Princess Yue. She also plans her escape route and escape place in every detail, as if everything is under her control. From the beginning they met, all the development seemed to be in Xia Xiaoran's calculation. On that day, when she arrived at the palace, Xia Xiaoran was able to figure out a way to save Princess Hua and Princess Yue... How could it be possible in such a short time... Unless she knew everything that could happen in the future from the beginning! She also had a very thorough view of the political affairs of Han and Zhao dynasties, and had a very long-term political vision. It seems that all her ideas are different from those of the people living in this era. She has no idea that men are superior to women, and even despises patriarchal clan and class. There's no respect in speaking to yourself
