Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 495
If you say they are pitiful, but there are many pitiful people in the world, he cannot be reduced to a complete puppet just because of these two words!
"Woohoo!" The maids in the distance cried even louder, and the eunuchs also had red eyes.

But a few tens of steps away, they arrived at the gate of the palace. The black-armored guards had already fastened the horses, and they just waited for the master to get on the horses before embarking on the return journey.

But before Gong Zhiming and others walked out of the palace gate, countless people suddenly gathered in the distance, men, women, old and young, rich or poor, traffickers, pawns, everything that one could expect, and the square in front of the palace was instantly crowded with black heads.

Yuchi Hui waved his hand, and the black-armored guards immediately guarded the master in the middle.In such a chaotic time, it is easiest for someone to take the opportunity to make trouble.

But those common people knelt down in unison, "I beg Your Highness to show mercy!"

"Please Your Highness stay!"

"Please Your Highness, don't leave Dai Yue behind!"

"Your Highness, woo woo, please don't go!"

"Bodhisattva Yun, help me!"

"Cloud Bodhisattva bless you!"

No one spoke out, and no one chanted. The people kowtowed and begged. It was a mess, but it was more moving than those civil and military officials just now.

Looking around, there are children with long legs, old men with white hair, men and women, all of them are full of dazed and panicked expressions.Gong Zhiming couldn't help but stop, and Yu Chihui and the others also put down their swords and guns. Facing such piety and sincerity that won the hearts of the people, no one can remain calm.

Cloud Bodhisattva...

Gong Zhiming thought of the warm hospitality he received because of his wife's good name when he passed by Wenshui City, and the hundreds of young people who escorted him all the way to the capital...

Brother An moved behind his father anxiously, and whispered, "Daddy, they are so pitiful. Let's take them home together?"

After hearing this, old man Wei hugged his grandson and put him on his neck, comforting him, "Don't worry, brother An, if your father has something to do, grandpa will take you home first!"

"What about Daddy?"

An Ge'er pursed his lips, feeling very reluctant to see his father who hadn't seen him for a few days.

Gong Zhiming glanced at the old man, and the old man Wei sighed, "You make up your own mind, if you don't want to stay, you don't want to stay. But the will of the people cannot be violated. This is almost the destiny of heaven. If you go against the sky, you may be punished by heaven."

Gong Zhiming frowned stubbornly, but the hurdle in his heart still couldn't pass.

At this moment, several officials lifted a chair and walked out from the palace gate behind them.Sitting on the chair was the old prime minister with blood on his forehead. It was rare for the old man, who was known for his strict conduct, to actually hold a flagon in his hand. "Third Highness, forgive me for being old and seriously injured and unable to go to the ground."

Gong Zhiming nodded, feeling something strange about the flagon in his intuition.Elder Wei on the side even raised his eyebrows, moved his nose twice and looked at the old prime minister's face, but finally sighed.

Before Gong Zhiming could inquire, the old prime minister smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, you don't know. Whenever news of you reaches Dayue these years, the old minister feels regretful. If you are from the blood of Dayue Good. Da Viet has suffered for many years, and the people who dare not close their eyes when they sleep can rely on them. Maybe God heard the old minister's plea and turned the old minister's dream into reality. His Highness has returned, and the people of Da Viet have hope. From now on, there is no need to worry about the lowly people of the Gu clan bullying Da Yue.

For this reason, the old minister offers a cup to His Highness, and congratulates the ancestors of Dayue, who have such all-round talents in civil and military affairs as His Highness in the royal blood! "

While talking, the old prime minister took a big sip of wine.The wine flowed out from the corner of his mouth and wet his beard and white clothes. Not only did he not look embarrassed at all, but he added a bit of staunch and unrestrained style...

"Boss, this general has been fighting for 20 years, and he has never thought that his bloodline has changed. It is not my wish to have the bloodline of Dai Yue, so I don't want to mention it. Dai Yue has all civil servants and generals, and without this general, he has his own strategy against the enemy. Please take care of your health, sir, and choose someone else for Dai Viet. This general will leave!"

The words "Dayue's bloodline" have always been a thorn in Gong Zhiming's heart. He hates it when he thinks about it, and it hurts when he mentions it.He didn't hate Dai Yue, but he just hated that old fox who had manipulated him for 20 years but went to meet Lord Yama without explaining a word.

"Your Highness, stay!" The old prime minister stretched out his hand to stay, but when he wanted to speak, he coughed violently, and the bright red blood spurted out instantly.

Some officials who didn't know the inside story exclaimed one after another, but the faces of those carrying the chairs were more sad, obviously knowing the truth.

Gong Zhiming frowned fiercely, grabbed the wine jug and threw it on the ground, as expected, the previous guess was right, this drink is weird!
"Hehe, His Highness really seems to be a benevolent person, not as cold-blooded as the rumors say. In this way, the old minister will feel more at ease!"

The old prime minister not only didn't feel the pain, but smiled happily, "Your Highness, the old minister can guess some of the estrangement between you and the emperor, but how innocent are the people of Dayue, Your Highness? Please read that the blood of Dai Viet flows in your chest, and leave it for about Let the people support this day!"

The old prime minister vomited blood while talking, and soon soaked his front skirt, even so, his smile was still so warm and gratifying.

The begging of civil and military officials, and the pain of the common people did not soften Gong Zhiming's heart, but such an old prime minister who only saw two sides moved him deeply.

How much loyalty and love does such an old man have for Dai Viet, so that he can sacrifice his own life, just to win a chance for Dai Viet...

"Your Highness, I don't ask you to make Da Viet as prosperous as Dong Hao, nor to expand the territory of Da Viet. I just ask you to create a peaceful life for the people of Da Viet. Otherwise, I can't close my eyes!"

"Ahem, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The old Prime Minister Xu knew that his time was running out, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Gong Zhiming's skirt, blood gushed out of his mouth, looking extremely tragic.

"Prime Minister, woo, prime minister!"

Everyone cried and begged, even the officials who had thought carefully before, bowed their heads and sighed because of the loyalty of the old prime minister.

Looking at the soldiers who followed from Wenshui City, they also knelt down on the ground, "I beg the general to be merciful, and I beg the general to stay for Dai Yue!"

The old prime minister clenched his fingers tighter and tighter. Some men and women in the distance may be the old prime minister's family members, and they were crying hoarsely at the moment.

"Okay, my lord, I'll stay. But..."

The old prime minister's blood was like a flame, slowly melting the ice in Gong Zhiming's heart.Just like what the old prime minister said, the person who manipulated half of his life is an old fox. How innocent are the people?

"Okay, okay, as long as His Highness stays, the people of Da Viet are blessed."

The old prime minister laughed out loud, with a hint of childlike complacency in his expression.

"Then I can rest assured to chase after the emperor! Cough cough, cough cough!"

The old prime minister, Xu Shi, spat out his last mouthful of blood, turned his head and slumped on the chair.

At this moment, the inside and outside of the imperial palace were extremely silent, the summer wind stopped blowing, and the heaven and earth mourned the passing of the old prime minister.

Gong Zhiming gently closed the old prime minister's eyes, and ordered in a deep voice, "The burial will be on the side of the late emperor's mausoleum."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The few officials who lifted their chairs were crying badly, but they still remembered the old prime minister's instructions, echoed loudly, and scrambled to put the title of new emperor on Gong Zhiming's head.

The old eunuch who didn't know where he was hiding before seemed to fall out of thin air, holding a bright yellow dragon robe in his hand, and draped it over Gong Zhiming's body while wiping away his tears.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

I don't know if it was because it was too difficult to keep the emperor, but finally at the moment of success, everyone turned the accumulated panic into the sound of shouting long live, like a landslide and tsunami, deafening.

An Ge'er grabbed his grandfather's hair in a bun, and didn't feel scared because of the tragic death of the old prime minister, but asked his father tenderly, "Daddy, can't we go home again?"

The old eunuch was afraid that Gong Zhiming would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said, "Young master, you can send someone to bring the empress to Dayue."

"No, there is no sea here, and I still have to go see a fish as big as a house with my mother!"

Children are not easy to deceive, at least the one in front of them is not easy to deceive.Embarrassed, the old eunuch wiped his sweat...

Seeing that the midsummer is coming to an end, but there is no trend of cooling on Taoyuan Island, the sea breeze is still so hot, and the sun is also generally warm.

On the pier by the sea, the fishing boats that got up early to catch fish have all rushed back to take a rest. At such a time, even at sea, it is easy to turn people into mummies.

The glass kiln, woodworking workshop, pencil workshop and other craftsmen have just had lunch, but no one is resting, and they are still working diligently on their skills.

It's not easy to be with a good boss who is kind and kind. As long as you work hard, the rewards are too generous.A few days ago, a glass kiln craftsman fired a small bowl, which looked really ugly, but the green was pure.At that time, the owner rewarded 100 taels of silver, which was enough to buy a neat small courtyard in Quanzhou, and enough to buy a generous dowry for the daughter and marry a good wife for the son.

For this reason, the entire Taoyuan Island has set off a wave of enthusiasm, even if the craftsmen want to be lazy, the women and children at home are not willing. Why can the man of the family burn a glass bowl, you can't even see a scum.Hurry up and burn a glass, and we will also take the master's reward.

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. In this way, the craftsmanship of each workshop has ushered in a wave.

Even the natives who have taken over half of the farming work are also very diligent. Whether it is white rice or the taste of corn cakes, they are fascinated, and they are looking forward to the harvest season.

They are used to being in the sun all year round, so the sun doesn't feel unbearable at all.All with bare backs, carrying wooden shovels to irrigate the paddy fields. Some of the terrain is high, so they carry water and are very diligent.

On the top of the stone castle, the side close to the cliff is very shady, and Dang Gui asked someone to build a simple canopy and block the screen.All the women and children can rest assured to take a nap here, and the warm sea breeze blowing here also brings a bit of coolness.

Mrs. Dong fell into a drowsy sleep, and stretched out her hand to cover Yu'er on the side with a fake quilt. She suddenly saw that the sister-in-law was not asleep with her eyes open, so she sat up and asked softly, "Sister, why don't you sleep?" sleep?"
