Chapter 21
The false emperor Anlu Wang Yongye, and Emperor Ai's mother and compatriots, are much closer to each other than Emperor Yuan.

After Emperor Ai was captured by Beiliang, the civil and military ministers hurriedly supported Emperor Ai's son on the way to the throne as Emperor Min.Emperor Min died in Liuya, and Emperor Huai was established in Fucheng.

Emperor Huai was five years old at the time, and King Anlu was dissatisfied, so he simply colluded with the Chiwu tribe in Northern Liang, and with their support, he proclaimed himself emperor in the fiefdom of Changyi.

He, the emperor, is actually a puppet of the barbarians, so naturally he cannot be recognized by the royal family of Yan and even the people of the world.

During the Lianhong Northern Expedition in the third year of Yongxi, soldiers came to the city of Changyi, and the false emperor committed suicide in fear of crime.

As a sinner of the Yan family, the uncle of the Lou clan has served him——

Even if the Lou family is also one of the heroes of Nandu, they can't completely clean themselves up.After all, how do you know it's not hedging?

If not, after a few years, Mr. Lou Huan would not be shocked when he heard that his uncle had arrived in Jingling.

Jiang Fusang knew something was wrong at the time, but because of his close relationship with Lou Huanjun, he chose to help her conceal it... In fact, she helped to hide it not only this one.

Jiang Fosang was sure that the Xu family didn't know about it.

Once found out, Lou, the big woman in charge of the family, is afraid that her glory will never come back.

"That's it." Empress Lian's eyes flickered slightly, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and didn't say any more about this matter.

"Si Tianjian has chosen an auspicious date, which will be at the beginning of next month. You will get married in Jingling first, and then you will have a big gift when you arrive in Chongzhou. At that time, Gu will also prepare a generous gift for you as a wedding gesture."

Speaking of this, Jiang Fosang finally regained some energy.

When you are in adversity, you really can't resist, you might as well obey... Of course, the original words that Mr. used to mock himself are not the same, but the meaning is roughly the same.

She can't learn from her husband's open-mindedness, who can enjoy rape, so she can only try to put forward some favorable conditions for herself when she has to bow her head.

Her condition is very simple, she wants gold and silver - a person who is greedy for money can always be reassuring.Besides, she really needs money, a lot of money.

But even the queen's gold and silver are hard to get, and she doesn't want to tie her life to the royal family or Lian's big ship.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Fosang could only suppress his eagerness to change gold and silver into craftsmen.

"A craftsman?" Queen Lian was very surprised.

"Yes." Jiang Fusang carefully chose his words, "I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have never been to the Northland. I heard that the customs in the North and the South are very different. I am afraid that I will not get used to it. I also heard that the trade in the Northland is not booming. Many things may not be bought even with money... So I have the audacity to ask His Highness for some skilled craftsmen."

Even the Queen laughed.

Only then did she praise her for being an experienced planner, but unexpectedly she revealed a childish side.

It's no wonder that even though the Jiang family is not as good as it used to be, the juniors are still brought up according to the standards of the girls of your family, and it is reasonable to pay attention to food, clothing and daily life.

"What's the difficulty? Later, I will send someone to pick out some good supervisors. When you get married, I will go to Chongzhou with you."

After Jiang Fosang thanked him, he added embarrassingly: "Potters, porcelain craftsmen, lacquer carpenters, of course, His Highness Hong En, it would be great if we could give more spinners and weavers."

Even the empress gave permission, "Gold and silversmiths, jade and stone craftsmen, and planters, these will not be left behind, and you will spend as much on food and drink in Chongzhou as in Jingling."

It doesn't really matter, Jiang Fosang thought.

"Thank you, Your Highness."
-
In this way, a deal was reached in the tacit understanding of each other.

Even the Empress had the heart to chat, and the next topic was much easier.

Speaking of the fashionable jewelry in Jingling, eunuchs came to report.

Knowing that it was a matter of Ting Wei's mansion, even the queen did not let Jiang Fosang avoid it.

"The case is over?"

"The interrogation is over, the fifth young master of the Xiao family confessed not to be guilty."

Xiao Wu, did he really treat Jingling as a thorny field?Let him do whatever he wants!
Queen Lian's face darkened, and the veins on her forehead twitched.

The Patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Hu, was close to the Lian family. Although Xiao Hu could not be there in person on the [-]th birthday of his uncle Lian Tian, ​​he sent his parents and children all the way to celebrate his birthday.

It's just that Xiao Wutu didn't worry about it. Not long after the Buddha's birthday, someone sued him for neglecting people's lives.

Uncle Lian is getting old, and now the Lian family is actually in charge of Uncle Lian Chang.After the case happened, my uncle sent a message to the palace, implying that small punishment would be fine.

Speaking of which, there is no lack of dandies among the high-ranking disciples of Jingling, and it is not uncommon for them to cause fatalities. As long as the deceased is not an important person, they are always taken lightly, and no one is really punished.

The bad thing is that the Xiao family's identity is sensitive, and every move after entering Beijing is in the eyes of others.

The Xu family, who also started their business by martial arts, and has some old knots and grudges, has always regarded the Xiao family as a thorn in the flesh.

Even the Empress suspects that the lawsuit was ordered by the Xu family. Otherwise, how could a commoner have the courage and connections to offend the nobles?
Originally thought that as long as Xiao Wu refused to admit it, everything would be easy to handle, but he didn't expect him to recognize it simply.

But since my uncle intends to rely heavily on the Xiao family, and His Majesty does not want to quarrel with Xiao Hu because of this matter, thereby breaking the balance in the north, then she must make amends.

"I heard that the one who died was a rogue idler who ran rampant in the village. He often did things like bullying women and children and bullying the weak. All the villagers suffered from it. Xiao Wu also saw injustice..."

Even the queen paused, thinking of Xiao Yuandu Suri's actions, she seemed to feel that what she said was far-fetched.What's more, I have to give an explanation to those who are watching this matter closely.

The conversation changed slightly: "No matter how you say it, after all, it is a human life. Even if he is guilty, he should be handed over to the county magistrate for questioning. What Xiao Yuandu did was inappropriate, so he immediately asked Ting Weiqing to arrest the person and let him go to prison. Wait for a while and meditate on your own past."

"No." The eunuch took the order and retreated.

Jiang Fosang watched the whole process, and he couldn't help being shocked by the tacit understanding of "the virtuous people are not born in the world, and the usage is not as good as that of the powerful".

Once such a convention is established for a day, the fate of the common people will never be fortune-telling.

The person who dies this time deserves to die, but what if the person who dies next time should not die?Where is the fairness and what is the justice?

She used to take these things for granted, until she had those experiences later...

Mr. said that the people are easy to abuse, but the sky is hard to bully.

Although the anger of the common people is insignificant, but if there are too many such common people, a single spark can start a prairie fire and even burn down an entire dynasty.

Isn't the growth and ultimate rebellion of the Longevity Sect based on such soil?
Before that, who would have expected that about half of these hairpin tassel clans in the capital would perish at the hands of the Longevity Cult they once believed in...

Jiang Fosang is clear that if the root knot is not removed, it will be difficult sooner or later.

The trend of the times, she can't change it, so originally she just planned to persuade the Jiang family to move out of Jingling before the crisis came—although the Jiang family might not listen.

But now, she is in Changqiu Palace.

She can't stop it, the person in front of her always has this ability.

Thinking of all the tragedies he had heard from those who had witnessed it, and knowing that countless people would die in vain in that turmoil, Jiang Fosang hesitated again and again and decided to speak to Empress Lian.

Even if the queen doesn't believe it, it's always good to be vigilant.

Just as he was about to speak, another palace official stepped into the hall.

This time it's about Fangde Hall.

Two days ago, a member of the Longevity Sect ran into a captain of the Dushui Supervisor, and was punished and died violently.When Concubine Xu Gui heard about it, she called the Captain into the prison and whipped him a hundred times.

Yesterday at the court, Yushi Zhongcheng wrote a letter saying that the Tao of Longevity will destroy human relations and order households to sacrifice. There is a suspicion of bewitching the common people.This aroused Concubine Xu Gui's dissatisfaction again. This time she couldn't be beaten at will, so she was fined one tael.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng was very upset by this insult, and accused Xu Guifei of being too sycophant.

Concubine Xu Gui said: "There are more than a thousand monks and nuns in your house, how dare you accuse me?"

After hearing this, the Empress Lian looked indifferent.

Jiang Fosang was puzzled, such a good opportunity, even the queen didn't make a big fuss?

Turning his gaze, when he caught a glimpse of a statue of the Ancestor Tongtian Fazu in the inner hall, he suddenly realized.

It turns out that even the queen...

Then why did you go to Yongning Temple to participate in the Buddha bath?

That's right, the Son of Heaven worships Buddhism, and at least half of Jingling has Buddhist followers.Even the queen, as the mother of a country, still has to properly show her kindness to the emperor and take care of the people.

Empress Lian and Concubine Xu Gui, who were in the same situation, were able to reach an agreement on religious belief. The energy of the Longevity Religion can be seen.

Thinking up to this point, Jiang Fosang was silent and didn't dare to say more.
