The violent prince's wife as a small wife

Chapter 11 11, She's Interesting
Xiao Li's eyes showed fear, and his voice was lowered, "Be careful, Your Highness."

A hint of impatience flashed across Shang Xingchuan's brows and eyes, and he snorted coldly. He was too lazy to take into account Emperor Mingde's mood. If he wasn't mad at him to death, it was all because of the virtue of good life in heaven, "Oh."

As soon as he and Luo Shenyan entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all kinds of porcelain inside were broken to the ground, and the two servants knelt on the ground trembling, bloodstains could be seen on their bodies.

Luo Shenyan glanced at him and said, "Everyone go down."

The two slaves ran away as if they had been pardoned.

In the main hall, the doors and windows were tightly closed, brewing a stuffy smell. Emperor Mingde was sitting behind the desk. He was only in his forties, and he already had a lot of gray hair.

He is slightly fat, and has long lost the charm of his youth. Seeing Shang Xingchuan approaching, he said in a hoarse voice: "Xingchuan... tell me, how to solve the military expenses?"

Shang Xingchuan's brows were cold, and he only clasped his fists in salute. He glanced at the fragments of the overturned porcelain vase on the ground, and didn't bother to let them clean it up. He said, "Just kill the supervisor."

Emperor Mingde stared at Shang Xingchuan, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his breathing was heavy, he couldn't hold back after holding back, and smashed a memorial, "You are the same!"

He roared, "I have built a foundation of hundreds of years! It was ruined by these villains! Today is a shortfall in military expenditure, and tomorrow there will be repeated defeats after repeated battles. A good dynasty will be eaten up by these moths!"

Shang Xingchuan looked at his nose, nose, and heart, and even felt bored.

Luo Shenyan didn't say a word, but Emperor Mingde saw him, he seemed to think about it again and he had to save face, he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with Aiqing?"

Luo Shenyan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is His Highness who has something to report."

"What's the matter?"

Shang Xingchuan said: "Yesterday, a woman went to Beijing to file a complaint, saying that someone was cheating in Nanzhou. A headless male corpse was found in Dali Temple. Judging from the wounds on the corpse, it was a military ship."

"The military ship... What did you lie to?" Emperor Mingde thought of something, but he was a little impatient, and he wanted to report such a trivial matter.

Shang Xingchuan saw his impatience, and he didn't want to stay here anyway, so he said succinctly: "Nanzhou is next to Lichuan, and there is a saying in the villages of Nanzhou that if women are not sacrificed, the source of water will be cut off. They think , this is God's punishment"

Emperor Mingde raised his eyebrows, "What, punishment from heaven?"

Shang Xingchuan twitched the corners of his mouth, "Does Your Majesty really think that it's the so-called...God's will?"

Emperor Mingde lowered his eyes and murmured: "Li Chuan... Li Chuan..."

Lichuan is a small border city of the Liang Dynasty, adjacent to the southern border country, and has been fighting all year round. Emperor Mingde has a big military expenditure today, but it is actually Lichuan.

Lichuan's terrain is flat and there are few mountains. It would be a good place if you don't fight wars. But unfortunately, the southern border opposite is a country with tribes as the unit. The fighting power is strong and there are many mountains and forests.

Over the years, Daliang spent several times more military expenses in Lichuan than in other places, but he just couldn't win. These days, it was found out that the supervising army had been corrupted a lot. Thinking about it carefully, from the capital to Lichuan, one step at a time , I don't know how many can really be allocated to the soldiers.

But Nanzhou is a smaller place. Under Lichuan, whether it is Lichuan or Nanzhou, the river that people live in on weekdays is the Tao River. Coincidentally, Nanzhou belongs to the lower reaches.

In other words, the small river they call "Tianhe" in Baoshan Village is actually a small tributary of the Tao River, and as long as the people in Lichuan deliberately pinch it, the people in Baoshan Village will have no water to use. .

The so-called punishment and sacrifice from heaven... Shang Xingchuan had never believed it, and the story of Yang Tianfang was of course false.

With Shang Xingchuan's mind, after he heard it, he knew what was going on.

In places where wars are fought, in many cases, it is not just food and clothing that needs to be solved.

No woman would be willing to work as a prostitute, where sex is not a pleasure, it is not even a normal physiological need.

What's more, the energy of the soldiers has no place to vent. After killing someone, the blood heat is hard to subside, violent and restless. Since you can't vent it in your own barracks, you have to find another place to vent it. Gentleness is impossible. of.

After the battle, the soldiers may return home in full, while most of these girls will die on the battlefield forever.

Generally speaking, camp prostitutes are exiled to the military camp because the men in their families were convicted. Those who are outstanding in appearance may be bought by dignitaries before they can leave the local area, but those who are not so outstanding may also be used as prostitutes. Camp prostitutes.

Among them, the roots are intertwined, various forces are intertwined, and Li Chuan is at war. Logically speaking, this matter is not that important, and it is not necessary to camp prostitutes, but they do this every year, which is enough to show that the order in the army is chaotic. They only cared about having fun, and didn't put their minds on killing the enemy at all.

Yang Tianfang is a woman who can go to the capital alone, so she can't be an ordinary person at all, let alone believe in the so-called punishment from heaven.

Emperor Mingde raised his head, "You mean...these women were all...sent to Lichuan?"

No need for Shang Xingchuan to say it clearly, Emperor Mingde would be able to guess it soon.

With heavy eyes, he sneered, "These people...these people are really, getting better and better."

It's not enough to fill one's own pocket, and even start to think about lust.

He looked at Luo Shenyan and waved his hands, "Aiqing, you...go for a while."

Luo Shen said that he did not come here today to eat melons, he nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I respect your majesty's will."

Emperor Mingde thought for a while, and then said: "This matter should not be a big deal, but a few women, if they die, they will die, you go to comfort and appease, calm down, the rest... just like this."

Luo Shen paused and said yes.

Not to mention the lives of more than a dozen people in a small border town, even the maids and eunuchs he saw every day in his own palace, he never cared about it for a single day.

In his eyes, human life is like the withered flowers and grass on the street, if they are trampled to death, at most they will bleed out a little bit of juice.

Luo Shenyan had already retreated, and only Shang Xingchuan and him were left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After a while, Emperor Mingde said, "I heard that something happened to Dingnanhou's Mansion?"

Shang Xingchuan looked a little impatient, "It's just a trivial matter."

Emperor Mingde sneered, "It's a trivial matter when someone dies?"

Shang Xingchuan: "It's strange that His Majesty said such words."

Emperor Mingde didn't speak for a long while.

After a while, he tentatively said: "The marriage contract can be canceled... After all, if you marry a wife and a virtuous person, the daughter of the Jiang family has already caused so many troubles before she even got married. It's not good."

"No need." Shang Xingchuan lazily said, and then said: "She is interesting."
