My whole family is fleeing

In his rage, Emperor Li He didn't know how many envelopes he threw away and how many people he scolded. All in all, his mood was definitely not very good.

What's more, there are some particularly pedantic veterans who almost want to curse people with fierce words. How can a high-ranking emperor tolerate this?

But strangely, after losing his temper, Emperor Li He actually calmed down. He quickly summoned the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government to hold a small court meeting.

Then he repeated what he had told the prince before. No matter what everyone is thinking, they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The ministers still don't want to really fall out with the emperor until necessary, not to mention that the emperor now does hold great power.

Of course, what's more important is that at times like this in the past, it was impossible for the emperor to issue any edicts to offend oneself. Normally, it was the ministers of the court who were pushed up to top the cylinder. This has directly found someone to act as the scapegoat, and they are safe. How could they not accept such a good thing? But those of you who insist on pursuing this matter, what are your intentions? ! I have worked hard for most of my life to get to where I am now, but you insist on pursuing this matter to the end. Isn't that just coveting the position under my butt? It's so heartbreaking!

Of course, in addition to those petty officials who are very unhappy, these people now have new worries. Your Majesty, you want to force this matter on General Xie, but they won't refuse. They are almost on General Xie's territory now, but at this time we pull General Xie out to be the scapegoat. Isn't it a little bad? After all, their mouths are certainly not as strong as the sword in General Xie's hand!

However, Emperor Li He didn't care about this at all. He was confident that Xie Yongzhao would not dare to rebel, even though Xie Yongzhao had been disobedient and rebellious since he was a child. But he is from the Xie family, and as long as he is from the Xie family, he will never rebel against the imperial court! This was the fundamental reason why the Xie family was able to gain a foothold in the Dali Dynasty.

What's more, he has just issued an order to conduct a draft. How can he change his mind just because of a small impression? Isn’t this changing day by day? Where will the majesty of his emperor be then? And if the draft is suspended or canceled directly, how can he let Xie Yongzhao's daughter marry his son?

The age gap between the son and the daughter is already large. If there is no justifiable reason, they will not match no matter how you look at it.

There was no other way. Seeing His Majesty's insistence, the ministers could only agree temporarily. After resting, the group continued walking towards Anshan Pass.

At this moment, officials from all over the country who saw this vision began to ask the emperor for memorials. However, His Majesty's attitude is that he will not allow the draft to be cancelled. In fact, the most troublesome thing about this matter was not the confrontation between officials and the emperor, but the broad wave of opposition from the people. The voices of the people at the bottom are too weak, but when most of the people gather together, their shouts can almost shake the earth.

The location of the emperor and ministers was not far from Anshan Pass. Even though it was a little slow to get there because of too many people, they were getting closer to General Xie and Qingshui Village.

"I don't know what the emperor was thinking, why did he suddenly want to come to the private talent show? My Erya had already agreed to get married this year and was preparing to get married, and this happened suddenly. What should I do? It’s fine if you’re not chosen, and you can let the man wait for a year or two, but if you are really chosen, you’ll stay in the palace until you’re 25. Who will marry her?”

"Hey, who says it's not the case? My niece is like this too. She is only 14 years old this year. She is about to participate in that talent show. I heard people say that she is here to serve other nobles. How can those nobles be so good? I heard that the waiters were often beaten and scolded, and sometimes no one even knew they were beaten to death. How can you be so willing to do this?"

"Oh my God, how can I let my daughter go to a place that eats people like that? I don't feel safe if she marries a little further away from me. If she marries so far away, she has no control over her life or death. .”

"I don't know what those nobles and gentlemen do for food. I guess it comes up. They have no influence, but we poor people..." "Bah, bah, bah, you don't want to live anymore. How dare you say that to those people above your head?" Gentlemen, if someone hears it, how many lives will you pay? Besides, even if you dare to say it, I don’t dare to listen. "

"...When will this day end? It's hard to get through the disaster years, but now someone is causing trouble again."

Such conversations happen in all parts of the country, and even Qingshui Village is unavoidable. After all, although there are few girls in Qingshui Village, there are still some of the right age. However, this is even worse for Qingshui Village, which already has fewer women. .

The village chief sighed even more, but he thought he could only deal with some small things, and there was nothing he could do about such big things that covered the entire country. He is just a small village chief, how can he take care of the emperor's affairs? But even the most honest old farmer couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment in his heart when he saw that the daughter he had worked so hard to raise was being sent to a place where she was waiting to be eaten.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Li He still wandered outside Lin'an County, and General Xie, who had received the news long ago, was now bringing his subordinates to greet him.

To be honest, when Emperor Li He saw General Xie, who was still tall and straight, except for a few wrinkles on his face, he was exactly the same as the person he had seen decades ago, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. A hint of envy. After so many years, he has become too old to look good, but Xie Yongzhao is still like the young general he was in his good years.

When he dies, the prince will never be able to suppress Xie Yongzhao.

At this moment, Emperor Li He made this conclusion without hesitation. What's more, there is still an unpaid debt between Xie Yongzhao and them. The death of Zhong Zijun and the entire Zhong family is still an unbridgeable gap between them. But if the prince marries Xie Yongchao's daughter, no matter how reluctant he is, they will be in-laws from now on. It is impossible for Xie Yongzhao to rebel against his son-in-law, right?

At this moment, Emperor Li He had many thoughts in his mind, some of which were very vicious. But when he saw Xie Yongzhao striding over, he suppressed it instantly and then showed a gentle smile.

"It's been many years since we've seen each other, Xie Qing, is everything okay?"
