Chapter 108： Gains and losses

An staff member whispered: "We have received reliable news. Taifu Lu once sent Liu Shilang to see the third prince, and wanted to tell a granddaughter to the third prince as the concubine, but the third prince refused. However, there are rumors that Taifu Lu said the emperor. You can call the shots, and I have to mention it to the emperor..."

This is the result of a discussion by the aides after getting the exact news: I still told the prince that the Lu family might want to warn the prince in this way. After all, it is well known that the prince has fallen out of favor with the prince. The prince must fix it with the prince concubine, otherwise the help from Lu's side may be gone. The Lu family is not bluffing either. The prince has no children so far. If the third prince marries a daughter of Lu family as a side concubine, the prince will be completely out of the game, and the Lu family will have a new political support.

"It turned out to be for that bitch!" The prince was so angry that he picked up the teacup and fell to the ground. Everyone hurriedly persuaded: "His Royal Highness! If you can't bear it, you will be in a big way! The prince is just a woman, so she will be close to her. Yuxia shouldn't be difficult."

"Yes, just a little favor can consolidate the court's assistance, so why not do it!"

"His Royal Highness, think twice! The third prince did not agree to Lu's request. He knew the ending before he wanted to come. He just sent someone to make a gesture to express his dissatisfaction to His Highness! Your Highness, the eldest son is one of the most famous family members. Tradition is not an unreasonable request."

"His Royal Highness! Taking advantage of the fact that the three princes are willing to marry Miss Shen and the emperor will never allow them. They will not marry yet, so quickly reconcile with the prince and have a child!"

The prince knew that what everyone said was reasonable, and he was vaguely rejoiced in his heart: he found out that the Lu family no longer supported him these days. He thought it was because the other party felt that he was incapable and wanted to give up on him. Now it seems that it was just to support the princess, not a big deal. But he said very angrily: "It's not that my palace doesn't want her, it's that she can't raise her own! A chicken that doesn't lay eggs! A useless bitch!"

Everyone felt that the prince had insulted his wife in this way, but at this time, he could not blame the prince, and could only continue to persuade: "The prince has grown up now. If you find the royal doctor to prescribe some nourishing medicine, maybe your highness will be able to do so. That's it."

The prince waved his hands irritably. Everyone paused and turned to talk about important affairs. Seeing that the prince was unhappy, the staff gradually stopped speaking, and the prince motioned to them to retreat.

When everyone was gone, the prince became angry again, and kept whispering: "Bitch! Bitch!" She went to her family to support her and teach herself! This is to force yourself down! This shameless bitch! After so many years of not allowing oneself to have children, in the end, he must destroy his position as a prince to force himself to submit! For a moment, the prince really wanted to go and strangle the prince to death.

...But, no! The mother queen is dead, and the four princesses have heard nothing from them. Now who else can rely on them? Although the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War listen to them, those people are from the Lu family! His own confidant of the East Palace could not serve as the high-level palace of the court. Without Taifu Lu's support, there would be no imperial power, and then the prince himself would really become a widow, and his father would be able to change himself with a snap of his fingers.

... The father did not change the prince, because he was competing with Zhenbeihou and pressing down the three princes, but the father would also pass away one day! As long as the three princes do not die before the father, the father dies, no, there is no need to wait for the father to die, the father lay on the bed, and the prince who only has the title and does not have the support of civil and martial arts, he will be abolished if he is not killed. Stay alive...

The prince took a deep breath: Okay, let her be mad for a while! In the future, there will always be one day when he will be enthroned. What's more, now that Chu Rong already has a child, no matter how much the princess is tossing about, when the child is born, she hurry up to show her father, she has no choice...

The prince made up his mind and walked heavily out of the study.

As the New Year's Eve is approaching, the Prince's East Palace is very lively. The crown princess in high spirits instructed people to move the furniture, move the book boxes, and prepare for the general cleaning the year before.

When the prince saw the figure of the princess from a distance, he was disgusted. I want to avoid it, but I force myself to go over there rationally, thinking that maybe I have found a chance to say a few words to ease the relationship. Although the prince comforted himself that it was natural to say hello between husband and wife, but he knew that he was bowing his head, his heart was particularly uncomfortable, his face would not look good, he had a feeling of cold eyebrows.

Seeing the prince approaching from the corner of her eyes, the princess couldn't help but sneer on her lips: This villain is indeed a cartilage, and grandfather's estimate is not bad at all.

The prince condescendingly said: "The prince concubine really has a leisurely sentiment, and these little things will be handled personally."

The crown prince smiled without enthusiasm: "Where are the grand talents of your concubines, naturally they can only do some chores."

Hearing this, the prince was very ear-piercing, and looking at the princess's thin nose and delicate face, it was even more boring. Anyway, the prince had already taken the initiative to say something, and the prince consciously treated the princess well. She should appreciate it and walk away.

Suddenly a cry came, and someone stopped: "No...no..."

The crown prince smiled and said, "Who is this, let her come over."

The prince frowned again: before he spoke, the princess opened her mouth!

After a while, I saw Concubine Liu stumbling over and said loudly to the prince: "His Royal Highness, please call the concubine body! The concubine body knows why the Donggong has been childless!"

The prince frowned and did not speak, the princess next to her smiled and asked: "Why is that?" In a particularly gentle tone.

Concubine Liu's face was full of tears and her hair was messed up from crying. She threw herself at the feet of the prince and said: "Your Majesty! My concubine has been infertile for a long time, and she doubts in her heart. Taking advantage of the opportunity to return to her family's house, the doctor asked the doctor to check her pulse. With the medicine of the broken son, I can never get pregnant again in this life! Your Highness! There are so many concubines who want to come to the East Palace, no one has been pregnant for more than a year, and they must all be drugged! Your Royal Highness, please call the concubines the master. !"

Although he guessed this possibility, he really knew it, and the prince gritted his teeth with anger, his face pale.

Concubine Liu Bianfei clutched the robes of the prince and cried out: "The concubine prince is detrimental to God!..." Before the words came, the prince flew up and kicked Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu's mouth opened and screamed with blood. Splash out.

The crown prince said with an iron face, and said in a cold voice: "I even slandered the prince and broke into the wood house and let the prince dispose of it!"

Concubine Liu's face was full of blood, she looked at the prince in a daze for a moment before she laughed miserably: "Is it because I said I can't have children? Haha, it's because of this, your highness, you are so cruel!"

The crown prince smiled and said: "You slander your concubine, and you will be punished severely! You forgot who is the wife. The concubine is just a concubine no matter how loudly!" She spoke contemptuously, and when she spoke, Eyes flirted with the prince.

The prince's mother was born as a concubine, but he can only grit his teeth at this time.

Concubine Liu's eyes looked at the two in turn, crying and laughing: "You are really a good couple, I curse you to not die!"

The crown prince hummed: "Cursed the crown prince, dragged it out, and killed it!"

Several eunuchs came over and dragged the concubine Liu Fang who was still laughing wildly. Seeing that the prince was dark and unresponsive, the prince smiled and said to the prince: "Many of these harem people are so arrogant and rude. When it spreads out, people will say that His Royal Highness is not strict in governing the family, and how to govern the country, but it is very detrimental to His Highness's reputation." The tone is light and heavy, but as heavy as Mount Tai.

The prince said coldly: "The harem concubine, except for those from the official house, let the prince send you off!"

The crown prince smiled and said to the people around: "Then find them all, and I will pick them out."

The surrounding eunuchs had heard what Liu Fangcai had just said, knowing that the nearly one hundred concubines in the East Palace must have been put down in the soup, leaving them useless, so they hurried away.

The prince was about to leave, and the prince said casually: "Oh, my lord, the concubine almost forgot. The concubine found someone outside to insult his highness, so he hurriedly sent someone to get him in. He didn't want to disturb his concubine. But it seems that your Highness is free today, just to let His Highness know."

The prince had a very bad premonition in his heart. He looked at the prince, and answered the question and said: "My palace has already dispersed the harem for you, and the prince is not satisfied."

The crown prince laughed, and there seemed to be a trace of hideousness: "What is meant by dissatisfied concubines is for the sake of your Royal Highness. Some people say that your Royal Highness steals the outer chamber outside. How can a prince of a country do such a deed thing since ancient times? To be a concubine for a wife, or to be a concubine, you still need a status, you need the approval of your parents, and the consent of the true wife, before you can enter the school, and then you can enter the genealogy. The unnamed adulterer will get the parents. His approval is unfilial! It is unrighteous to disrespect the main room! It is not right to keep the blood of his son pure, even more stupid! If the woman does not live in the home, who knows who the child belongs to! Maybe she is a servant! His child pretends to be his master! What's more, the person who spreads the rumors is very ugly! Obviously someone is planting the prince! Come! Bring him up and let your Highness see who is out there that is damaging his reputation ."

The prince's heart was pulled into a ball, and his lips half opened unconsciously. After a while, someone walked over with Chu Rong who was bound. Chu Rong's lower skirt was full of blood, and his bulging belly was already a little smaller, and it seemed that the child was gone. With a cloth stuck in her mouth, she could only cry and look at the prince.

The crown prince shook her head, "If she looks more beautiful, the concubine may believe it. But this old woman is ugly and fat, and she doesn't recognize a few words. How can she get her in the eyes of her and claim to be pregnant with her." My child, I’m talking in a dream, my lord, what should you do with this person who spread rumors and slander you outside?”

The prince’s throat was locked, and he could fully understand how outsiders looked at Chu Rong: her face had butterfly spots, her face was swollen, her hair was disheveled, her figure was bloated, and her legs and feet were swollen. How did he fall in love with such a person! Now, her child...

The prince asked hoarsely: "Where is her child?"

The crown princess raised her mouth: "She accidentally fell on the steps and dropped the child out and fell into the water..."

Chu Rong cried and shook her head vigorously at the prince, but the princess covered her handkerchief with her smile: "His Royal Highness, she seems to want to say something to you, do you want to hear? Does she want to say that His Royal Highness has recklessness with her? If the moral, unfilial and unrighteous act really acted with her, if it was true, the concubines would show their face and don’t want to, so they must go to the father to intercede for his highness! He would also let the grandfather come forward and persuade the courtiers to be the prince. To excuse her, she must be included in the harem even if all difficulties are overcome! Your Highness, you have to remove the cloth strips from her mouth."

The prince remembered that a long time ago, his mother had taught herself: children can have no children, but the support of courtiers is indispensable. At that time, I didn't listen to my mother's words, and insisted on going his own way, turning the cart before the horse, and now I have this embarrassing situation...

The prince heard him say dryly: "No." He turned stiffly, and accidentally saw a palace lady with tears in his eyes.

As soon as the prince was about to take a closer look, the court lady quickly lowered her head. When the prince sees the prince, she still goes to see the lady of the court, and asks with a sneer: "How will your Royal Highness deal with this extremely ugly person?"

The prince didn’t look back and said, “You’re up to you.” He speeded up a bit, but he heard the prince’s shrill voice saying: “You dare to frame a prince of a country, cut your tongue and gouge your eyes, and then beat him to death with a stick.” Her tone was ordinary, as if she was telling people to dust and sweep the dust, but the prince felt that his spine hurt every word.

The prince said with a smile to the maid beside her: "From today, you will be called Chung Rong. The name Chu Rong is really bad! It's a little bit of glory at first, but what can you do about it is short-sighted! Rongcai is reliable and counts when he can laugh till the end..."

The maid said, "Thank you, the princess for giving her name..."

The prince ran back to his bedroom like running away. As soon as he entered the door, he plunged his head on the bed and wrapped the brocade, but he was still trembling with cold. He had no tears anymore, something condensed in his chest, indestructible hard. The faint crying from all sides outside did not make him feel sad.

There was chaos in the East Palace.

The princess had people move the chair, and sat outside the main hall where the concubine usually came to please an's. The concubines were brought in front of her. She decided where she would go based on the other party's family background.

With a smile on her face, she pointed: "This is sold to inferior prostitution... This is sold to farmers, don't forget to say that she is no longer able to grow... This can be kept, and will be sent to your Highness tonight..." The woman knelt down and said, "I beg the prince concubine for mercy, and the concubine Yunchen will be repaired in the harem."

The princess smiled and asked: "You really want to be quiet"

The woman nodded repeatedly: "Really! Really!"

The prince said: "Well, go and make a corner of the East Palace for people to cultivate their character."

The woman thanked. The others who were left behind saw the miserable end of those who left the palace, and they all demanded repairs.

The women who were pointed out to the palace were struggling desperately when they heard the words, some of them were **** and carried out of the palace because they kicked too hard. Many people verbally abused the princess, and the prince who was beside the princess asked: "Is it possible for people to gag their mouths?"

The crown prince smiled and shook her head: "No, how can this palace know how angry and desperate they are?

Zhongrong nodded quickly.

The princess smiled again and asked, "Is there any better place than the brothel and the red pavilion in the countryside?"

Zhong Rong replied: "They are already barren, and only those places are willing to take over."

The prince concubine pondered for a moment, and said: "I think I'm still too lenient, otherwise they don't dare to open their mouths. In this way, those who scold the most severely can go to the barracks."

Zhong Rong said hurriedly, "I'm going to make arrangements." Xiaoji ran away-she really didn't dare to stay with the princess any longer, her hairs were standing up.

In the evening, the East Palace returned to calm. After dinner, the courtyard where the princess was staying was brightly lit-the prince had sent someone to say that he would stay overnight here.

When the prince walked into the dormitory in plain clothes, the princess dressed up to welcome her. If the vision can be cured into a knife, the two sides have already cut each other a thousand times. The prince looked at the princess coldly, and the princess raised her head slightly and looked back at the prince proudly. The corner of the prince's mouth twisted, without saying a word, he grabbed the prince's shoulder and tore the prince's clothes in a few strokes. The maid and the eunuch, the eunuch, hurriedly rushed out. The crown prince gritted her teeth, and the crown prince tore her clothes and threw her on the ground, then pulled her to the bed...

The prince didn't take off all his clothes, and his actions were rude and rude. Even though the princess shed tears, she gritted her teeth without making a sound. The corpse let the prince wreak havoc.

The prince got up after the incident, put on his pants, got up and walked away. The princess was lying on the bed, staring at the top of the bed net. She won the battle, but she got what people said... but that's all. Now, there is only one hope left in her life: she wants to have a child, a child of hers! If it is not for this child who has not yet arrived, why should she be tortured and insulted like this?

As long as she has a child, the Lu family's blood will enter the royal family! The Lu family has a three-phased family, and the officials are overwhelming. If the prince destroys the three princes, why not clear the opponents for the Lu family, you have become the throne. How many emperors died young, the youngest sons ascended the throne, the veteran and the queen dowager will listen to politics Let's go on like this and see who wins who...

In the morning in the Zhenbeihoufu, the Yang family and the old lady were sitting in the chamber after breakfast. Yang looked at the new year's goods list. Fortunately, the Zhenbeihou Mansion had saved food in advance, and the people in the mansion were not short of food rations, but there were almost no other meat and vegetables. For the New Year's Day, I can only make a lot of noodles, and maybe I can make dumplings during the New Year. Yang sighed: "My poor Wen'er, I can't eat this dumpling. I have to ask Saburo to send them some new year goods."

Holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, the old lady stopped and said, "Didn't you go to send it some time ago, don't disturb them all the time. The temple lives in a quiet place." They don't know where they are now.

Yang said unhappily, "It turns out that it was only ten days and a half months to live for such a long time! Now, my poor Wen'er..." She sighed in tears. In her heart, only Shen Wen was poor, and Yan was not pitiful at all. She still blamed her a little, if it weren't for Yan's idea, Shen Wen wouldn't be trapped in the temple.

The old lady persuaded: "Well, she has lived in this way, and her reputation will be better."

Yang remembered something, and whispered to the old lady: "The last time I saw a nephew from a distant house in Pingyuanhou Mansion, he was very handsome and honest. Maybe you can ask."

The old lady sighed again: "You know that the emperor doesn't like the marriage between our two houses, so wait."

The Yang family was not reconciled: "That's just a faraway child, not a serious Pingyuanhou son, what is the emperor's picky!" After nagging Shen Wen, Yang sighed again and said to the old lady: "You said Xianger What should I say about this matter, I can't even mention anything about marriage now, she immediately turned my face with me! I spoil her so much and follow her in everything, but why is she treating me like this now!" Yang cried again.

The old lady turned a few Buddhist beads and sighed at Yang's lack of arms, and said: "I can't help but mother, that girl has a big idea, you can leave her alone."

The Yang family is not reconciled: "How can you leave it alone! She is already sixteen! After the Chinese New Year, she will be seventeen! I really have to say it."

The old lady had no choice but to persuade: "If you can't manage it, just leave it alone, or you will be annoying yourself."

The Yang family took out the silk: "I think we must have committed the villain in our mansion. Look, Saburo's marriage and Xiang'er's marriage are not settled. Wen'er is actually trapped in the temple..."

The old lady said in her heart: This villain is the prince, but it's useless to tell you! She really couldn't bear such endless complaints from Yang, and she stood up and said, "I will chant the scriptures later and be quiet."

The Yangs sent the old lady away unhappily, and said to the Liu who came in for the board of directors: "My mother knows how to recite the scriptures! Don't help me think of an idea!"

The Liu family knew the disposition of this mother-in-law, but couldn't just follow it, so he could only rush to the west and said hurriedly: "Mother, the fourth brother is going to the lake, and the third brother is not there, no one can stop it."

Yang hurriedly stood up: "This bastard, he just wants to go skating! What can I do if I fall into the ice hole? I have to chase him!" He got up and put on his coat and hurried off. She has good legs and feet now because she walks a lot.

Liu succeeded in taking away a mother-in-law who could complain endlessly, letting people in, starting to divide the brand and deal with daily affairs.

----------------

At the remote border, Shen Jian received the report from the border and hurriedly went to Zhenbeihou: "Master Hou! Beirong has withdrawn its troops!"

Zhenbei Hou was taken aback: "The troops have been withdrawn! How could it be possible!"

But this is true. When Zhenbeihou took Shen Jian to the border, Shen Yi was already there. When you see the signal, come and look for them. Zhenbeihou looked to the north. As expected, the Northern Rong army that had been all over the forefront a while ago withdrew, leaving only some sporadic military accounts and regular border garrisons.

Shen Jian whispered to Shen Yi from behind: "It really did withdraw!"

Shen Yi frowned and nodded, Shen Jian sighed: "My sister must know the reason."

Shen Yi whispered: "I think she wants to go to Beirong, which may be related to this matter."

Shen Jian also agreed: "Yes..."

Zhenbeihou came over in a depressed manner: "It is a good thing that they withdrew, but how to tell the emperor that he must think that my previous military newspaper is an exaggeration, and he will not believe me in the future."

Shen Yi said: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it, what's the difference?"

Zhenbeihou sternly said: "How can you talk like this!" He gave Shen Yi a reprimand.

-----------------

"I knew he was exaggerating and wanted military resources!" The emperor scolded after receiving the report of the withdrawal of troops from the North Rong on the border.

As soon as the military information of the border crossing was announced the next day, the upward wind immediately changed. Prince Fang took the lead again.

The Lu family officials began to vigorously oppose the political discussions of the three princes: "At this time there are no soldiers on the border, and there is no need to prepare for war!"

"The treasury is empty and there are countless hungry people. Now we must not increase the military needs, otherwise civil strife will occur!"...

The three princes' proposal to prepare the army for the refugees was completely rejected. Someone mentioned the marriage of the three princes, but they were also pushed back on the grounds that the family affairs of the emperor were not too much.

Compared to the angry expressions of the three princes, the prince looked quiet upwards, without any glamorous expression at all, which made people feel that the prince had really grown up and had the calmness of being a monarch.

----------------------

The old Taoist and the little Taoist found a Taoist temple in the city to live in. There are many students and parents of Yan's Academy. They are especially concerned about the future of the imperial examination. The old Taoist is setting up a stall on the side of the road, giving people a word and saying something ambiguous. If it sounds good, make some money or food. Although I didn't eat well in Xiaoyun, I didn't feel hungry either.

When there was no one, the old Taoist reprimanded the little Taoist: "I blamed you that day. We walked so far just to catch up with those people. But as soon as you ran like that, I didn't get in touch with the person, the person who was against the sky. I don’t even know the name..."

The little Taoist whispered: "Master, you don't know how scary you are. Every time I look at it, I see a skull on the face..." He shrank his neck.

The old Taoist also whispered: "Then have you seen the face of that little fat man?"

The little Taoist wondered: "Which little guy is the one who chased me and beat me? He has a skull face..."

The old Taoist shook his head: "That's a child, the person I was talking about, a blue aura rushed from between his eyebrows, and his grievance was deep. I didn't expect to be such a young person in the past..."

The little Taoist tilted his head: "I didn't pay attention!"

The old Taoist sighed: "Okay. Fortunately, the child is still there. We will stare at him. He knows the person who is against the sky. I think I can find the identity of the person who is against the sky from him."

The little Taoist was particularly uninterested, and the old Taoist nodded his head: "Don't forget why we came! Only people who are against the sky can change their destiny. Your uncle's life depends on us!"

The little Taoist muttered, "Why don't I think..."

The old Taoist put his hands in his clothes: "Then I won't test the words! I have no food tonight."

The little Taoist priest said hurriedly: "Okay! What the master said is right, I listen to the master!"

The old Taoist snorted with satisfaction.

The heaven-defying people they just talked about are also worrying about food at this time. When everyone gathered together, Shen Wen frowned and listened to Zhang Yunzheng's complaint: "A while ago, we were walking around to find water. Now we have enough water, but food is running out. We can't do this again in the future. Hiding around. Hurry and rush out of this area!" After they left the lake, they were frightened by the lack of water. They kept relying on Shen Wen’s memory to walk from one water source to another in a zigzag pattern, plus avoiding the hungry. , Have gone a lot more.

Ji Wenzhao shook his head: "No, there are too many hungry people in this area. We don't hide. Once we crash into it, they will not let us off for our livestock. There will be a fight, and we must die. Only like Now I can walk in the dark so furtively."

The fourth prince said: "Anyway, it's better not to die."

Duan Zengshi, Lin Yan and Su Wanniang agreed not to conflict.

Zhang Yunzheng said: "In that case, from now on, we can only have two meals a day, and it doesn't matter if we are full!"

Shen Wen said: "Where have I read, you won’t be starved to death if you eat three or two a day. If you are not a guard, you can do it three or two a day."

Everyone agreed, and Zhang Yunzheng had to agree.

From then on, everyone was half hungry, and their cheekbones began to appear on their faces. They really looked similar to the refugees on the road. After walking in the disaster area for a long time, they have become numb to death. Passing by the lying dead body, no one took another look. Because they always rest during the day and travel at night, their impression of the disaster area is dark.

Fortunately, they are getting closer to the wine cellar, which means that they are about to go out of the extremely dry area.

Early this morning, the shadows of mountains began to appear in the distance, and Shen Wen pointed to the distance and said, "It's fine when you get there."

Ji Wenzhao said: "Wangshan ran to death, this is at least two or three days away."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Don't say anything discouraging! Two or three days is better than not seeing it, right?"

Ji Wenzhao squinted to see Zhang Yunzheng walk away, letting people spread out the brown curtain to surround the cart and people. The drapery they carry is getting dirty, but the effect of covering up is getting better and better. It is the same color as the land. From a distance, people think that it is just the ups and downs of the field.

Ji Wenzhao whispered to the four princes: "You find that there is no stunned kid who always protects Brother Wen."

The four princes now recalled the scene by the lake, knowing that they had been involved a long time ago, and only vaguely said: "They have known each other for a long time."

Ji Wenzhao pulled the four princes aside and whispered: "Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Heping Yuanhou Mansion have been in contact for a long time."

The fourth prince shook his head: "It should be them..."

Ji Wenzhao took a hissing breath: "No wonder she is hiding the third prince! This kind of thinking can't be accommodated by any emperor!"

Knowing that Su Wanniang was among them, the four princes nodded and said, "I want to hide it. I am an emperor and think differently from ordinary people."

Ji Wenzhao nodded and said: "I understand that when I am in that position, there is no family and friendship, all of them are methods and conspiracies. How many wealthy families, how many powerful and powerful families I have, how to balance the situation in order to stabilize the situation, just these. , It’s enough to make the emperor nervous, how could it be possible to accommodate people who can subvert the country"

The fourth prince nodded: "These are nothing new. Which dynasty and generation are not like this, this kind of system..." The fourth prince sighed and said to Ji Wenzhao with some worry: "Xiuming, you Be careful, I know that you are particularly capable, but few people who have been transforming through the ages have come to an end. Don’t be too ostentatious."

Ji Wenzhao nodded and said: "I understand that what I want to do is not to overthrow the imperial power, or even constitutional monarchy as she said. For those, I have to write a few books for future generations to do. What I want to do now , Is to introduce the rule of law into our dynasty mechanism. I have carefully thought about the assertion of that little brother Wen, in fact, the various problems with our dynasty, or imperial power, is that the power is too concentrated. If the country is governed by law, some power can be transferred from the emperor and The officials were separated from the hands and placed in the hands of the lawmakers. In this way, at least the royal family and officials could not determine the life and death of people according to their own likes and dislikes! In this way, whether you kill loyal officials or kill innocent people, you can greatly reduce it. !"

The four princes sighed slightly: "But, whoever wants to let go of power, you are not in the imperial city, and you don't understand the royal cold-blooded and cruelty..."

Ji Wenzhao said: "I have superb abilities and excellent methods. God has given me such a talent. It must be a great deed for the benefit of the country and the people! If I can leave some useful attempts for future generations, how can you be afraid to stop you for me? Worry, come, let's next set, let me tell you what the first step I want to do is..."

Zhang Yunzheng helped people arrange the curtains, and then arranged for someone to stand guard, and suddenly saw Shen Wen sitting by the car in a daze. He walked over and asked: "What's wrong with you"

Shen Wen returned to his senses, and said tiredly: "It's nothing, I just feel tired."

Zhang Yunzheng stood beside Shen Wen and whispered, "Why don't you eat more, why do you eat half of it?"

Shen Wen said: "I'm not hungry, and I don't move. I meditate in the car and have no appetite."

Zhang Yunzheng is curious: "Can you concentrate on meditating"

Shen Wen nodded, perhaps because of hunger, the body's control of consciousness has become weak. She will easily enter a state of emptiness these days, and then return to reality, she is a little trance.

Suddenly, she asked, "Do you have that feeling? It's what you struggled hard for and strived to fight for. In fact, it doesn't make much sense."

Zhang Yunzheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No!"

Shen Wen was a little frustrated: "I sometimes feel this way."

Zhang Yunzheng looked at her very seriously: "You think that we have worked so hard to prevent Bei Rong from harming the prince, and rescue Shen Jiajun... it is meaningless."

Shen Wen frowned: "Is this feeling very wrong?"

Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "You must be hungry and confused! Don't think too much! Go and eat something." He didn't say much to her at all, and just beat her to death.

Shen Wen sighed secretly, every time she ended meditation, she felt that what she did was not the best choice, and she couldn't ignore it because of a heavy feeling. But now that it's halfway there, she can't change her course.

Everyone rested for a day and left at night. This time they knew they were close. Although everyone was still hungry, they were much better. When they walked to dawn again, they stopped, and there was a town on the side of a flat field.

Zhang Yunzheng said: "I don't want to go around, let's just go there."

Shen Wen looked into the distance and said, "This should be Jiao City, rich in porcelain, and a very wealthy city."

Zhang Yunzheng said: "That's great! We won't be so eye-catching."

Ji Wenzhao smiled bitterly: "How am I the same as you think"

Zhang Yunzheng said: "Everyone worked hard. It's too close to the town and it's not easy to camp. Let's take a little longer today."

Everyone responded. They continued to walk along the road. There were no people around, but before long, they saw a dense cluster of people on the periphery of the city. There should be tens of thousands of people.

Ji Wenzhao said: "Oh, they are surrounding the city and want to rush in. We have to go quickly and don't get their attention!"

Zhang Yunzheng was busy urging the animals. But these animals ate hay for days, only drank a little water, and walked for another night. They were also very tired, where they walked fast.

They walked through the fields outside the crowd, listening to the hustle and bustle on the other side of the city wall from a distance. The refugees repeatedly attacked the city gate and threw torches on the city, but the people in the city could not hold on. At this time, the group of them was short of water and food, and they didn't dare to make any noise. They just hoped that no one would find them and run away.

But finally someone found them, pointed them in the direction, and a group of people ran towards them. They are often chased and run along the way, and they have experience. Everyone is desperately beating the animals. Zhang Yunzheng kicked off those who dared to block the road in front, and ran wildly, away from the mob.

The area in front was close to the mountains and became ups and downs. Their carts and horses were traversing the hills. Seeing that the animals were really unable to walk, Zhang Yunzheng chose a leeward mountain wall to let everyone rest.

Shen Wen got out of the car and looked strange when he looked at the surrounding terrain.

Zhang Yunzheng asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Wen walked to the side of the mountain and looked up. This is actually just a small hill with a rock standing upright on one side, three or four people high, unable to climb.

Zhang Yunzheng walked to her, Ji Wenzhao also curiously approached, followed by the four princes.

Shen Wen turned his head and sighed: "I once opened my eyes and saw the third prince, Zhang, and my third brother, who died here..."
