Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 513 Mo Ziyan's Infatuation

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a long time, wasted to an old woman in her 30s.

She is not worried about being married, she has insight and wisdom, and she is not willing to settle down casually, and she is also past the age of having children. It is really unexpected that she is marrying a son-in-law who she herself is unwilling to talk to. .

After getting into the carriage, the carriage set off for the palace.

Princess Huige has children in her heart, and she and Meng Baiyun talked about children along the way.

How old is the child, is the child growing better, who is the child's mother, and so on.

Meng Baiyun felt a little ashamed in his heart, obviously, after the initial shock and anger, Hui Ge really loved and loved this "child".

When the carriage entered the palace, the people who followed Princess Huige, even if they were unfamiliar faces, no one would ask any more questions.

Traveling smoothly all the way, and seeing Yan Hongyi at the end, everything went smoothly, which shows the prestige and status of Princess Huige in Southern Chu.

Yan Hongyi lives in the library.

Rather than living there, Meng Baiyun thought she was right after seeing the heavy soldiers outside the library and the constant patrolling guards. When he came back, Emperor Chu was afraid that he would not come home if he went out again, so he put him under house arrest.

However, if this library is said to be a place to cultivate one's health, it is really very suitable.

Entering the first palace gate, there is a several-storey library library, and when the library is revealed, it is a small and exquisite private garden.

The pavilions, halls, pavilions, and pavilions are simple and elegant. The surrounding walls are painted white, covered with black tiles, and the roof is also covered with black tiles. It looks like the Jiangnan flavor, which is somewhat different from this magnificent, extravagant and noble palace. out of place.

But it stands here alone, surrounded by walls several people high, and what it sees is only the scene in front of it.

In the courtyard, in addition to the Jiangnan-style houses, cobblestones and stones are also laid.

The garden is sparsely populated with flowers and trees, including magnolia trees, purple magnolia trees, wintersweet trees, podocarpus, jujube trees, maple trees, camellia trees, hackberry trees, pomegranate trees, cherry trees, crape myrtle trees, etc.

There is a pond in the courtyard, surrounded by artificial rocks, and fish and shrimps are raised in it for people to watch and entertain. There is also a stone table beside the pond, and a chess board is engraved on the table. There are a bunch of messy chess pieces on it, some black and white pieces He turned his stomach towards the sky, and some of them were scattered on the ground.

Inside the house, I could hear the voice of someone I knew, a gentle man's voice.

"Third Prince, you played chess well, why are you suddenly unhappy? If you don't like playing chess, I'll accompany you to play what you want."

"Mo Ziyan, don't run away to me if you have nothing to do. With your salary, how can a dignified prime minister be so idle?"

Mo Ziyan is here.

Mo Ziyan followed Yan Hongyi to Beiliang before. Although Meng Baiyun had disguised himself when meeting him, he was afraid that he would recognize him with his sharp eyes.

Princess Huige was obviously also concerned about the fact that the two might have met in Beiliang, pointing to the library pavilion: "You took my jade pendant, go there, if they ask, they will say that I asked you to come. Take the few books I mentioned last time, the people inside know about it."

It turned out that there were still guards in the library on several floors.

Meng Baiyun wanted to avoid it, so he took the jade pendant: "En."

Hui Ge frowned: "This Mo Ziyan ran here in a hurry, with bad intentions, if he found out Yi'er's secret, it would be fine."

It's a long way to go, but because of years of martial arts practice, her hearing is excellent, and Princess Huige's words drifted into her ears verbatim.

Yan Hongyi's secret, Yan Hongyi's secret, it's impossible for Princess Huige to know about Yan Hongyi and Zhong Ning.

Meng Baiyun entered Zangshu Pavilion with doubts.

There is a window in the Zangshu Pavilion facing Yanhongyi's room. Meng Baiyun went to the window to listen, but after all, she couldn't hear anything after a little distance, and in fact, she could imagine that Mo Ziyan was pestering Yanhongyi. for what.

Mo Ziyan liked Yan Hongyi, and once because Yan Hongyi "favored" a maidservant in the posthouse, he brutally beat that woman Hua Yueye to death.

He was jealous and cruel, and Meng Baiyun had heard of his name when he was in Jinzhou. Although he was a political genius, he proposed good policies for the people and the country, such as renting the land into the land, but his personality was very cruel, and he disobeyed His people basically ended up miserable.

It was when the concept of distributing Ding to mu was proposed that year, when several veteran officials heard that they wanted to abolish the Ding tax (head tax) inherited from the past dynasties, and spread the Ding tax to the fields, which undoubtedly made the court lose a lot of objective money. Tax revenue, their pockets have to be flattened a lot, so they strongly oppose it.

Not long after, this group of veterans were found guilty of various crimes, most of which were corruption. In the house of a veteran who was diligent and thrifty on weekdays, a state treasury was even confiscated.

The emperor was furious, and Mo Ziyan took the opportunity to remonstrate and promulgate a new law to increase the punishment system of the corruption law, adding the crime of punishing the nine clans to the corruption law.

The emperor was in a fit of anger at the time, and after hearing Mo Ziyan's words, the heads of those greedy people were all beheaded, and what's more, the entire family was beheaded.

However, some of the corrupt officials were demoted because they supported the establishment of the system of peddlers and mothers, and finally were manipulated by Mo Ziyan's skillful hands.

This matter is known as the "enclosure'land' battle", the so-called encirclement'land'.

This "place" is certainly not that place.

This is about people and power.

This war without gunpowder completely established Mo Ziyan's position in the court, and those opposing voices disappeared all of a sudden.

Especially those old ministers who have the handle in their hands. Later, they will support whatever Mo Ziyan promotes.

Some people say that Mo Ziyan is a treacherous minister who eradicates dissidents and forms cliques for personal gain.

But what he does is something, but it is really for the benefit of the people.

It doesn't matter whether the stalls go to the mu, the later officials and gentry pay the grain together, all for the sake of the people.

Therefore, the evaluation of him in the market is mixed. Some people say that he can't tolerate dissidents and his methods are cruel.

Some people say that he just has a tough attitude, and those people don't know how to flatter him.

In any case, in Southern Chu, Mo Ziyan was a person that everyone feared, but he was also a person who everyone secretly praised.

Allocating Ding Ding to Mu has reduced the taxation of the common people, and those who have no land no longer need to worry about Ding Tax (poll tax).

The government and gentry pay food together, which truly implements the constitution of the government and the people. The bureaucratic class also needs to pay taxes and obey military service. In a sense, the common people are very happy and gratified.

Put aside these political achievements.

Mo Ziyan's personality can be seen in these incidents.

He doesn't allow any dissent and is very egotistical.

And when Meng Baiyun and him had a little contact, because a maid entered Yan Hongyi's room and closed the door with Yan Hongyi and said a few nasty words, he brutally beat that maid to death. Possessiveness is not generally strong.

If he can't get it, he will destroy it.

It was as if he couldn't get the support of those veterans, so he killed his whole family in retaliation.

I don't know if he will have this perverted mentality towards Yan Hongyi.

But at present, he is still very patient with Yan Hongyi.

Meng Baiyun stood at the window and looked towards the door. Not long after Princess Huige entered, Mo Ziyan came out. Meng Baiyun hid in the window, just as the little eunuch came over with a set of books.

"Sister, this is the princess's book."

"Thank you."

Thank you for taking it, and was about to go out, when I heard Mo Ziyan's voice at the door: "I asked you to send the book to the third prince, has the third prince returned yet?"

Meng Baiyun stopped in his tracks.

The little eunuch followed her and stopped as she stopped: "Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, my feet suddenly cramp, let me stand for a while and take it easy."

The little eunuch did not suspect him: "Okay, it seems to be Mr. Mo outside."

"Seems to be."

"Lord Mo has been coming every day recently. Everyone knows what the third prince thinks. He also asked us to send some books on governing the country to the third prince. The emperor will not go to court for a while. Everyone is rumoring that she is going to abdicate to the third prince. Look Lord Mo is here to assist the Third Prince with all his strength."

Meng Baiyun didn't say a word, and the little eunuch realized that he was talking too much, how could they be criticized by servants for this matter in the court.

Busy blushing: "What I said is what I heard from others. Look at my mouth. Elder sister, please don't tell the third prince or Princess Huige. Brother, I'm afraid of being slapped in the face."

Meng Baiyun nodded, reassuring the other party.

The little eunuch stretched his brows again and breathed a sigh of relief.

　 "Is my sister's feet better?"

Meng Baiyun nodded, the conversation outside had stopped, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Mo Ziyan probably left.

Meng Baiyun walked down with a pile of books in his arms, but unexpectedly, he took a frontal photo with Mo Ziyan who was going upstairs.

The little eunuch hurriedly pulled her: "My sister is here.—Master Mo."

Mo Ziyan glanced at the two of them lightly, and paused slightly when his eyes fell on Meng Baiyun.

Meng Baiyun's heart tightened, maybe he recognized it.

"Which palace is this, don't you know that people are not allowed to come in and out casually here?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately I didn't recognize it.

That's right, the two met only a few times, and she was still Hua Yueye's younger sister, and with the heavy makeup on at that time, she might not even recognize herself.

She lowered her head and replied: "This slave is from Princess Huige's residence."

"New face, new to the mansion?"

"Yes."

Mo Ziyan's eyes swept over her face again, as if he was thinking about something, the three of them crowded on the narrow stairs, and the little eunuch was a little afraid to face Mo Ziyan, so he urged: " Sister, let's go, Lord Mo, you go up."

Pulling Meng Baiyun back to the side, Mo Ziyan glanced at Meng Baiyun for the last time, then withdrew and went upstairs.

Meng Baiyun went down with the book in his arms, the little eunuch looked behind him suspiciously: "Sister, you are not afraid at all, Master Mo stared at you like that just now, does he know you?"

"I'm going first, the princess is waiting for me."

Fortunately, the little eunuch is on duty here. If he was in any palace, he might have died.

This mouth asks too much.
