This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 366 Fierce Debate (Sixth Change Before Morning)

The lord looked at Qing'er who was pale and unsteady, with a hint of distress on his face, then looked at Wen Ruyan and snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing's words are very sharp."

Wen Ruyan calmly replied, "Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing that the Lord was about to get angry, Wen Ruyan continued to speak: "I have a doubt in my heart, I wonder if the Lord can help me solve it?"

The lord looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

"In that case, I have no choice but to invite the two of you to my residence for a talk."

The lord was furious again when he heard such an obvious threat, but after she glanced at Miss Qing'er, the anger in her heart was gradually suppressed.

"Say!"

The current situation is no longer in her control. She has seen how powerful Wen Ruyan's martial arts are. Although there are many people in Wenxiang Pavilion, she can take the opportunity to escape, but Qing'er what to do?
"My lord listened to the conversation between the two of you. I wanted to let Miss Qing'er get close to me and meet the emperor to assassinate me. I am a little curious. How much hatred do you have with the emperor? It is worth the risk of your own life? "

There was a little shock on the face of the lord: "Where did you hear our conversation?"

Wen Ruyan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then turned his head and gestured towards a gap under the west wall.

The lord turned his head to look, and was immediately furious: "It's really disgusting that His Royal Highness King Jing did such a meager thing!"

"Curse it, scold it. This king has been enduring the scolding of the world since many years ago, and I am used to it after so many years."

The lord glared at him fiercely again.

Why is this person so shameless?Is this kind of person able to write Fu like "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"?He has this kind of talent?
Wen Ruyan didn't care what she thought of him, but said again: "Please ask the lord to clear up the confusion."

The Lord sneered, and said: "Don't talk about deep hatred, just talk about the incompetence of Zhou Tianzi, shouldn't he be killed?"

Hearing her insulting her father, Wen Ruyan's expression also sank: "Don't talk nonsense, my father has been on the throne for many years, he is diligent in governing and loving the people, and he has worked hard for the country. How can he be incompetent?"

His lord seemed to have heard some big joke, he sneered and said, "Diligence in government and love for the people? Working hard? His Highness Prince Jing's words are really cute."

Wen Ruyan looked at her coldly, and put the teacup heavily on the table: "Are you forcing me to take action now?"

"Why? Are you angry now? Why don't you listen to me? Your Highness Prince Jing has lived in Yanjing City for many years, and you should have seen many beggars beforehand, right? Why are they reduced to begging for a living? Is there no reason? It’s only the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Your Highness might as well go out of Yanjing to have a look, to see how many people are displaced in the four northern states besides the five states in the south, and to see how many people died of freezing and starving along the way. bones! Are these not reasons?"

"If today is a virtuous day, how can such a tragic thing happen?"

What the lord said is the truth, the five states to the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, like Jinling and Yangzhou, occupy rich and fertile land, and the people can be self-sufficient, but the four states to the north are a bit horrible.

The Lord continued: "You are His Royal Highness Prince Jing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and your status is extremely lofty, but it is precisely because you are standing too high that you cannot see how pitiful those people who are humbled into the dust are. You are not qualified to speak, so please put away your ridiculous remarks."

Wen Ruyan listened to what she said with a calm expression, and said calmly: "You said that I stand too high to see the people in the dust, but have you ever seen my royal father stay up all night for them? Can't close your eyes?"

"You said that there are many beggars in Yanjing City, and that the road to the north is full of corpses of common people. I don't refute this, but is there no reason for these? Yes, I admit that nowadays, corrupt officials in the Ministry of Households are rampant, and local landlords and gentry are domineering, but There are tens of thousands of officials in a huge country, can my father look at them one by one? These are unavoidable. So many monarchs in the past dynasties have tried their best to solve this problem, but they can't find a solution. Could it be that my father can do it? He is not a god!"

"But if we can't do this, it means that my father is incompetent? The people in the four states in the north are miserable. What is the root cause? Let me tell you, it's a natural or man-made disaster! Let's just say that the year before last, there was a severe drought in Jingzhou. There was not a drop of rain for several months, and the people had no crops. Could it be that my father abandoned them? No! He immediately issued an order to exempt them from taxes for three years, and then opened the treasury to relieve disasters. After years of wars, how can the treasury survive? For this reason, my father lowered the expenses of the seventh floor of the palace, can you imagine that the king of a country eats porridge for several days in a row?"

"Last year, the canal was flooded, and tens of thousands of fertile fields downstream were submerged. My father's gray hair was full of sorrow, and he didn't close his eyes for several nights. What did he do in the end? Put down the face of the king of a country and ask civil and military officials to stop their salaries One year, it even ordered to dismiss [-]% of the maids in the palace, why is this, isn't it for the relief of the victims?"

"You can say that he did this because of his stupidity and incompetence. How could a virtuous king rule the world like this? But let me tell you, there is no way to stop natural disasters and man-made disasters! Moreover, the Huns in the north invaded every year, and the southern Chu He is staring at Pingyang Pass again. Shouldn’t he have recruited troops to protect our Great Zhou territory? But what are we fighting for? It’s money. Let me tell you again, the Great Zhou’s treasury is already in short supply. After years of wars, the entire Great Zhou is burdened The common people are only going forward for their own food and clothing, but my royal father carries the entire Great Zhou on his shoulders!"

"The king of such a country, you say he is incompetent?"

"After knowing why you assassinated me, I can still sit here and talk with you today? Firstly, it's because I don't bother to kill a woman unless it's a critical moment. Second, it's because on the city wall that night, you Obviously you have the ability to kill people, but you only slightly injured the group of soldiers, so I thought you were a sensible person, but I never thought that you would be so unbearable, but it really made me look up to you."

When it came to the end, Wen Ruyan's words couldn't help becoming sharper.

The Venerable Lord, who was still eloquent just now, was squeezed by Wen Ruyan's words and had nothing to say.

Because what Wen Ruyan said was true, the two natural disasters and man-made disasters were indeed resolved by Zhou Tianzi in the shortest time, which she could not refute.

But if it makes sense, it makes sense. How can a woman not be angry at being squeezed by a man like this?

If it was just that, then she would not be a woman.

Only the Lord said again: "Even if what you said is true, Emperor Zhou is not stupid, but he is bloodthirsty!"

"Killing?" Wen Ruyan was a little stunned.

The Lord pointed to Miss Qing'er next to her, and said, "Do you know her identity?"

Wen Ruyan shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then have you ever heard of the Liu Family in Yanjing City?"

"The Liu family?" Wen Ruyan thought for a while, then looked at Miss Qing'er in surprise and said, "But the Liu family in Yanjing City that was destroyed overnight 13 years ago?"

　This is the end of today, let's fight again tomorrow!
