Chapter 281

Shi Xiaorui thought: I also said that Lu Ming lacks activities. It seems that I don't have enough activities. When I get home, I can exercise with my two children.

Thinking that there is no, Shi Xiaorui finds Yu Qingzhan in the yard.

Yu Qingzhan is sitting in the arbor of the yard, with his head resting on his hands. He doesn't know what he is thinking. He hears the footsteps of Shi Xiaorui before he comes back to himself.

"Oh, you are awake at last. I think you worked hard all the way yesterday, so I didn't ask them to call you up. I wanted you to have a good rest, but I didn't have a long rest. I thought I had lunch. "

Shi Xiaorui walked slowly, trying not to involve the aching muscles: "enough rest, and then sleep more, I'm afraid I'll have a headache."

Yu Qingzhan pushed the idea on the table to her with a plate: "don't eat anything in order at this time, just eat a little heart cushion, and you'll have lunch later."

Shi Xiaorui took it over and twisted it up. It was a glutinous rice snack. After breaking it off, it was filled with red beans.

Yu Qingzhan poured her a cup of milk from the pot. It was her improved milk tea. It got rid of the smell of milk and the bitterness of tea. It had a sweet milk smell. It was warm and tasteful. One cup of it soothed her stomach.

Shi Xiaorui just has a set, not a set of eating glutinous rice snacks.

Yu Qingzhan changed his posture, holding his cheek and looking at a blooming chrysanthemum in the yard, then suddenly sighed.

She suddenly said to Shi Xiaorui: "yesterday's Chen Wang, can we really get here?"

Shi Xiaorui swallowed the snack in her mouth and said slowly: "who knows?"

In ancient times, maps were highly confidential military secrets, but they could not be bought in any bookstore like in modern times. Shi Xiaorui wanted to know more about this strange Dynasty. When she went to the bookstore to ask, she was looked at with strange eyes for a long time, and almost didn't be reported as a spy stealing secrets.

No one would think that any spy would be stupid enough to go to the bookstore and ask for secrets, right? Shi Xiaorui escaped a disaster.

So Shi Xiaorui still doesn't know how wide the territory of this dynasty is. King Chen's fiefdom is said to be in the south, but who knows exactly where it is and how far away it is? I know a general location, but it may not be due south.

No one knows who the other troops are deployed or led by. In this case, nothing can be inferred except that Chen Wang will not win this time.

They are speechless. After looking at each other for a while, Yu Qingzhan suddenly sighs.

"To tell you the truth, even if I know that it's wrong for Chen Wang to do so, I still think he can be excused."

She is still worried about what happened to Chen Wang.

Shi Xiaorui sighed and enlightened her: "many things in this world are not black or white, wrong or right. If it's not easy to judge right or wrong in this way, let's take a look at our position. "

"Position?"

"Yes. Let's not mention the death of King Chen's son, but let's not allow him to establish an heir. It's a bad thing to stand in the position of King Chen. However, from the position of the emperor and the imperial court, to take back the back cover of King Chen is equal to an extra sum of income, and it's a great good thing to make a steady profit without compensation. "

"Good thing?"

"Moreover, for the common people, if the imperial court increases this amount of income, it may postpone the speed of tax increase, so it can be said that it is a good thing. Even if the imperial court continues to increase taxes, it is just going at the original pace, so at least it will not be a bad thing."

"That's the position." Yu Qingzhan murmured.

"Yes. Before you stood in the position of King Chen, you naturally felt aggrieved for him, but we are just common people. The actual position is quite different from that of King Chen. "

Shi Xiaorui slowly advised her: "let's talk about Chen Wang's sending troops. For King Chen, this is a just act of revenge. For the imperial court, it is a treacherous rebellion. For the people, it is even worse. Because this rebellion may involve tax increase, conscription, and military disaster. It's bad luck to be caught between the imperial court and King Chen. "

Yu Qingzhan sighed heavily: "I know. I also know what you and Xu Xin mean. Don't worry. I'm just, I'm just feeling uncomfortable for a while. "

This is caused by different values.

The ancient rulers were used to the policy of fooling the people, and they were used to portraying the emperor as the son of heaven and sage. But since he is a saint, how can he be morally tainted like a mortal? Especially in the case of King Chen, even if there were people in the imperial court carrying the pot, what the emperor had done was totally impossible to wash away.

It's just like a pot of dog's blood has been splashed on the statue which has always been unattainable. Everything is covered up.

Shi Xiaorui shrugged her shoulders and continued to eat snacks. It's better to think clearly about this kind of thing.

Relying on milk tea and snacks to lunch, Xu Xin didn't come back for dinner. When she asked Yu Qingzhan, she went out early in the morning and didn't know what she was doing.

Yu Qingzhan didn't feel anything and accepted it well. Because in her heart, Xu Xin's image and credit are much better than those of his majesty today.

When there are few people, it's easy to eat. Shi Xiaorui didn't eat in the morning, and ate very fragrant at noon.

After dinner, I think I've already gone to the county. I'd better go to the village to see father Shi and advise him not to sell this year's new grain for the time being.

After lunch, Shi Xiaorui takes Xinmeng to the coachman.

As a result, I didn't find him in the room. I found him in the backyard of the inn after looking around. I was brushing the horse with a bucket of water with a brush. I was familiar with it. I squinted at it and enjoyed it very much.

The coachman put down his brush and poured out the sewage in the bucket. Then he turned his head and saw Shi Xiaorui: "Oh, madam, do you want to go back now? It's a bit of a rush. "

The coachman pointed to the sun: "you can't get into the city before dark."

Shi Xiaorui said: "no, I won't go back to the capital today. You can accompany me to the village nearby. If it's faster, it should be enough for us to go back and forth today. We'll go back to Beijing tomorrow morning. We can go back slowly. We don't have to rush any more."

The coachman thought, "that's fine. What's the price today?"

Shi Xiaorui said: "still calculate according to the previous."

In the past, it was not only necessary to deliver the goods to the local place, but also to be in a hurry. The price was higher than the normal price for hiring a carriage. Today, if we don't rush so fast and still calculate at the same price, we will earn more money.

The coachman readily answered, "OK, just a moment. I'll go to my room and pack up."

It's not like a modern hotel these days. As long as you don't ask for an extension of one day, the cleaners won't enter the guest's room. Therefore, it's better not to put any expensive money in the hotel room. If you leave a little longer, you have to take everything with you.
