It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 234 234. Old People, Old Things
Chu Zihui's road to rise can be described as fast.

At first, he was just a very humble sheepherding boy in the tribe in the northern border. He was born as a slave. His biological mother was just a little slave girl with no name and no distinction. When he was born, his biological mother sent him back to his biological father, intending to let him recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. .It's a pity that neither his biological father nor his stepmother wanted to see him, and beat or scolded him.

The biological father thought that this was just a trouble brought back by a one-night affair, so he was cold-hearted and hard-hearted.

Not to mention the stepmother, the concubine's children are the biggest object in the eyes of the wife.

Chu Zihui's childhood was full of misfortunes and ups and downs. Not only did he not have enough food and clothing, he was often bullied and beaten by his biological father and his family, and he was also ridiculed and excluded by children of the same age.

At a young age, Chu Zihui understood what it meant to be warm and cold.

Later, Chu Zihui was lucky enough to be favored by a national teacher from the northern border, thinking that he had the talent of Wang Zuozhi, so he deliberately took him back to cultivate and teach him.

Chu Zihui's life has undergone a complete reversal.

Because of the high morality of the country's teachers, Chu Zihui gradually became an important figure in the northern border.Of course, Chu Zihui's excellent performance made them believe that Chu Zihui is their excellent king and will lead the Northern Territory to the peak in the future.

Chu Zihui has come to the fore, and he has not forgotten that his biological father and his family have brought him pain and harm.

Not long after, his biological father and stepmother's family all died due to Chu Zihui's crazy revenge.The state of death was miserable, skinned and convulsed, it was not a good death.

Chu Zihui showed his violent side when he was very young, but he was still very pitiful when he was in a low ebb before.

When he reached the peak, Chu Zihui's true face was fully exposed.

When Chu Zihui was brought back to be raised by the national teacher, he won a lot of prestige through the national teacher's connections and his own expertise.

Moreover, Chu Zihui is good at learning and imitating. Chu Zihui learned many things from one instance to another, and led the poor and backward northern border to take on a new look. Gradually, he was reborn and had his own army and different factories.

Ironmaking is in the hands of the Central Plains people, and Chu Zihui spent huge sums of money to poach him.

Therefore, it can be seen that the changes in the northern border cannot be separated from Chu Zihui's painstaking efforts.

Chu Zihui is very powerful, Ji Shaoyuan admits this, but Chu Zihui is violent, good at winning people's hearts, and also good at public opinion hype and cult of personality.

It should be said that Chu Zihui was born in this era and understood the role of fame prematurely.

Chu Zihui successfully took advantage of the public's sentiments and acted against them again and again. If not, when Xiao Yue's army came to the northern border, it would not be possible to run smoothly.

Chu Zihui's tragedy was also caused by himself.

"There is a son, but his son is not as good as him."

Princess Shengping sarcastically said, "Chu Zihui was a hero all his life, and his son Kong has become ruthless and merciless, and his skills are far behind."

Anyway, before Chu Zihui came to power, he also made a lot of policies that were conducive to the development of the northern border.

After changing to Chu Zihui's son, he was not as good as his father.

His father was cursed as a tyrant, but his son was fatuous.

"Even if it did appear, it's not worth mentioning. How many years has Chu Zihui been dead? Why are there so many people thinking about him? At that time, Chu Zihui was able to become famous. That was the story of his life. After death, death is like a lamp going out. , and Daxing, the people in the northern border will never forget the period of Chu Zihui unless they were kicked in the head by a horse."

During Chu Zihui's time, there wasn't so much meat. When he came to Emperor Daxing's side, he could eat whatever he wanted, and the environment in Daxing was more suitable for people to live in. It was not like that desolate land.

The hearts of the people are facing back, and it's clear at a glance.

Princess Shengping can guarantee that not many people still remember the mighty King Chu Zihui in the past.

Emperor Longtai believed it deeply, "The remnants of the Chu thieves are all stinky rats in the gutter. Even if they come out, I believe that Xiao Yue and Yuan Yuan have a way to deal with them."

Emperor Longtai didn't pay attention to the defeat of a mere opponent.

Chu Zihui's death and resurrection may be one or two fears, but Chu Zihui's son is too far behind in rank, and Emperor Longtai and Princess Shengping will not be at odds with each other.

"Chu Zihui relied on the blind worship of the people before his death to expand his borders and lands. He was invincible and famous. If he didn't go against the law, it would be difficult to say whether he would unify the northern border and threaten Daxing."

Ji Shaoyuan is not aimless.

After carefully reading Chu Zihui's information, she found that Chu Zihui in the early days could be regarded as good-hearted. It should be said that when the national teacher was alive, he even restrained him by two or three points. Once the national teacher left, Chu Zihui had no scruples. Acting more and more crazy.

Such a person is really scary to be honest.

Emperor Longtai waved his hands, "No matter how powerful you are, you will still be defeated by Xiao Yue. Chu Zihui is dead, and his son's whereabouts are unknown. Are we..."

Although it wasn't too annoying, Ji Shaoyuan's mood can be imagined if he kept staring at Xiao Yue secretly.

Princess Shengping smiled, "Chu Zihui's son..."

……

After Huo Rongxiu caught a glimpse of Mr. Chu Lan in Xiaoxiang Tower, his whole person was completely different.

As for what is different, according to Huo Yingxiu, Huo Rongxiu no longer plays around like in the past, but stays in the study and never comes out.

Huo Rongxiu was so abnormal, Huo Ke quickly went to ask about it.

Facing Huo Ke's question, Huo Rongxiu didn't tell the truth, but just smiled lightly, "Mother, I just want to read a book occasionally, and I have no other thoughts."

Mr. Chu Lan is a person from the Jianghu, no matter how enlightened Huo Ke is, he will not allow her to have close contacts with the people from the Jianghu.

"Really?" Huo Ke was full of doubts, "When you went out with Yingying and the others, you were clearly in high spirits, but when you came back, you were completely out of your mind. Are you okay?"

As someone who has been there, Huo Ke could tell at a glance that Huo Rongxiu might have a sweetheart.

However, it is difficult for Huo Ke to speak clearly about the alleged affair between his children, lest Huo Rongxiu have a pimple in his heart and refuse to tell the truth.

Huo Rongxiu didn't know about something she wanted to hide, but her mother soon discovered it.

"I'm fine. If something happened, I'd have said it a long time ago. Why keep it a secret?"

Huo Rongxiu seldom lied, especially when facing her own mother, she was more or less uncomfortable.

This uneasiness further testified the fact that Huo Rongxiu had someone else in her heart.

Huo Ke sighed in his heart, his daughter had grown up, she had her own secrets, and she began to deceive her mother.

Huo Ke looked at Huo Rongxiu steadfastly, and did not speak for a long time.Huo Rongxiu felt extremely uncomfortable being watched.

Could it be... She knows, right?

"Okay, you can forget about it."

Unexpectedly, Huo Keshi didn't say much, and turned around and left.

Huo Rongxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to deceive her mother either, but Mr. Chu Lan was handsome and handsome, and he happened to be from the world, so how could mother agree?
What Huo Rongxiu didn't know was that after Huo Ke came out of the study, he ran to chat with Huo Duan.

"Erchun, Rongrong has something on his mind."

Huo Ke was full of sorrow, "Before that girl died and refused to marry, I was extremely worried. Now she has a sweetheart, but she refuses to say it, I am very worried about her..."

Pity the parents of the world.

Huo Keshi only hoped that Huo Rongxiu would find a good husband as soon as possible, and that his life would be happy and smooth.

Huo Rongxiu is not an ordinary little girl, she doesn't want to follow the rules to marry and have children, she wants to be a little girl of her own Huo family.

Huo Keshi agreed, and also acquiesced in her usual behavior of playing around wildly.In the homes of other nobles, Huo Rongxiu could only stay in the room honestly and quietly.

The Huo family's family style is different, sons and daughters all have their own character and character, Empress Zhaode is like this, and Huo Rongxiu is also like this.

Huo Rongxiu refused to marry before, and Huo Ke's troubles were let go.Now, she has someone she likes, but she refuses to say it, which inevitably makes Huo Keshi wonder if she will do something stupid.

Urging Huo Rongxiu to get married, Huo Ke's worry was nothing more than feeling that if they left in the future, no one would be able to take care of Huo Rongxiu, wouldn't that make people bully?

If Huo Rongxiu can be independent and self-reliant, that's fine.

Huo Duan understood Huo Ke's feelings very well, and she comforted: "Rongrong has made up her mind since she was a child, and she will never do anything bad."

Huo Rongxiu is the smartest of the three sisters, just seeing that Peng Xiaowu is almost docile by her teaching, you can tell a thing or two.

It's not a bad thing that Huo Rongxiu has a sweetheart.

"Hey……"

Huo Ke looked up at the sky, "It has been 17 years since Chuxiong left. My daughter has grown up and has her own ideas and opinions. She grew up peacefully. Chuxiong should have seen it."

Huo Chuxiong loves his daughter very much, and he does his best to teach and care for Huo Rongxiu.

If Huo Chuxiong hadn't died young, it is estimated that Huo Rongxiu and his father would still have a lot of time to spend together.

"It's the same for Chu Yin."

Huo Duan's mood was low, "Both Yingying and Huahua have grown up to this age, the girls have turned eighteen, and one or two are eccentric. A mother is not as clever as her daughter."

The pain of losing her husband is the factor that makes their sister-in-law more harmonious than others.

The two brothers Huo Chuxiong and Huo Chuyin left too fast, leaving only their lovers to depend on each other in the world.

They all have daughters and no sons.

And Huo Feiyang, the son of Huo Chuhan Yundu and his wife, returned to the Huo family, entered the genealogy, and became the heir of Dongping County.

Huo Ke's and Huo Duan's suddenly feel that time is impermanent, time goes by too fast and too fast.

The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were extremely busy preparing for the wedding of Princess Xiangli, and the dowry was already prepared.

It can be said that when the dowry list came out, many people envied and hated Xiao Yue.

It doesn't matter if you are young and powerful, but you are married to the jewel in the palm of Emperor Longtai.

In the future, Xiao Yue and his wife will undoubtedly be the most honorable people in Daxing.

There are not a few people who think like this, because Princess Xiangli Dingxuan's wedding is coming soon, and the new year will be over.

At this time, many local officials came to Beijing to report on their work.

In a certain mansion in the capital, an old man and a young man discussed the marriage between Princess Xiangli and Xiao Yue.

"At the beginning, we saved King Dingxuan's life. The general valued love and righteousness. It's time to mention it."
