Allure of a Country Maiden

Under the same sky, there will always be people who are happy and people who are sad. On the 81st day when the Nangong Kingdom was in national mourning, the entire Minze Kingdom could almost be said to be rejoicing!

Regarding the earthquake in Wanli Shitang, only some Yum in Nanyue Prefecture were slightly injured, but no one died due to the earthquake. Jingrui wrote a memorial to report to the emperor, and Shangguan Xuanyi also sent a letter to pass the news back. Of course, he was also talking about the construction of Wanli Shitang and Jian'er Island.

In the imperial palace, the emperor received the news from Shangguan Xuanyi and was so happy that he shouted in the morning: "Okay, okay, okay! Haha."

Originally, he complained that Shangguan Xuanyi did not return to the imperial capital, but now he has no resentment at all. He even regrets arranging so many things for him. What if his health is damaged by the busy work!

The officials in the court were all smiles after hearing the news. They were all working for the big family of the court. Only when the court was good could they be good. They were all working under the emperor. The emperor was happy and their lives were over. Only then will you feel better!

The emperor was happy and waved his hand: he held a palace banquet to celebrate, and in order to celebrate the whole country, he gave a 10% tax reduction for the coming year.

At the palace banquet, all the officials said what the emperor liked to hear.

"The emperor cares about the people, reduces taxes by 10%, and enjoys the joy of the people. Now the people across the country should be excited!"

"If the Emperor's concern for the common people in the world had not been moved by God, how could we have ensured that the people escaped safely in the face of natural disasters?"

"Not only are the people fine, but we also seized the opportunity and took the lead in occupying Wanli Shitang! From now on, southern Xinjiang will be safe!"

After hearing everyone's words, the emperor said happily: "This is all the work of the eldest son of Marquis Shengping. He noticed that the weather was abnormal in those days, so he guessed that there was a natural disaster. Later, King Rui and Princess Rui also noticed that animals were acting abnormally, so they guessed that there would be an earthquake. They took precautions in time and knew the slightest thing! They avoided the disaster! Good! Haha! That’s great!”

Shen Chengyao quickly stepped out of the queue and bowed humbly: "This is what a dog should do. Officials should take care of the people."

The other officials looked at Shen Chengyao and felt very uncomfortable! Why is there such a big difference between the son I gave birth to and the son I gave birth to?

His son passed the imperial examination and became the magistrate. He achieved great success in less than a year!

In a few years, the official position will not be promoted as fast as riding a horse-drawn carriage!

"Haha, good! What you should do, what you say is that officials should be careful about the people! Reward, I will reward you heavily!" The emperor was so happy that he took the ministers to drink one cup after another.

Many people didn't know why the emperor was so happy, thinking that he was because Wanli's land was so large that they had conquered it quickly. However, the emperor was happy not only because the area of ​​Wanli Shitang had increased several times, but also because of the powerful natural disaster. In front of them, only some people in the entire Nanyue State were slightly injured, and no one was injured or killed.

As an emperor, although he always complained about being trapped in a golden cage and not being free, he was also diligent and loved the people. He also hoped that the Minze Dynasty could last forever and never perish.

He deeply understood a truth: the king is like a boat; the common people are like water! Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

Therefore, if a dynasty wants long-term peace and stability, the most basic thing is to win the hearts and minds of the people.

When the people are at ease and happy, the sea will be calm and the ship will sail steadily.

When the people are worried and resentful, the sea becomes rough and the ship sails swaying. If a big wave hits, the ship may capsize!

He is happy that Yum is leading a peaceful and content life step by step, and people's hearts are gradually settling down! He was happy that during his lifetime, he could lead the entire dynasty to live a good life step by step. The entire dynasty prospered and became stronger day by day!

On a day when the whole country was rejoicing, the emperor was drunk, lying on the dragon bed, holding the queen's hand and chattering about the ways of the emperor!

The queen's ears became calluses when she heard it, and she could only nod her head in response!

"After a hundred years, I will have the face to face my ancestors! Although I did not conquer this world! But it grew in my hands!"

The queen nodded while waiting to help the emperor wipe her body: "Yes, the emperor is the most powerful!"

The queen said yes, but thought in her heart: These seem to be the contributions of her son and daughter-in-law! So she is still awesome, gave birth to a good son, and married a good wife!

"As the saying goes: It is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to defend it! When I took over this hot potato, the country was riddled with holes! The treasury was empty, and there were floods and droughts everywhere. The Xiyue Kingdom was watching with eager eyes, and Japanese pirates often disturbed the people. I was worried. I’m almost going to have a long hair!”

"Poof!" After hearing this, the queen couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the emperor's white hair.

The emperor looked at the queen with drunken eyes: "Am I right?"

"No, the emperor is right!" the queen quickly suppressed her laughter.

The emperor was satisfied and continued: "Fortunately, I pray to heaven every year to ensure that the coming year will be smooth and the people can live and work in peace and contentment! God finally heard my voice! Haha... By the way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I will continue to worship God during the Chinese New Year. May my people live and work in peace and contentment!" After saying these words, the emperor finally fell asleep.

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief. Every time the Emperor drinks too much, he is very talkative and can keep you talking for an hour or two!

She's so sleepy!

The queen yawned and lay down.

Not long after the queen fell asleep, a palace maid came to inform Prince Xin'an and the princess to see her.

The emperor drank too much and fell into a deep sleep. The queen, accompanied by the maid, got dressed and went out.

Because they were sisters-in-law, they had a good relationship in private, and knew that she had nothing urgent to do and would not come into the palace so late, so the queen went out to see her without even combing her hair.

When Princess An saw the queen coming out, she quickly saluted and then told the story.

The Queen was shocked when she heard this, and subconsciously asked: "What should I do about Wanru? Her child was just born not long ago! Forget it, Emperor Nangong, he is so old, Zixuan's child... This shouldn't be the case. ! How could he, a majestic prince, personally save people! What do those soldiers and guards do! "

She just gave Shangguan Wanru's children a baptismal ceremony and a full moon ceremony a while ago, so this gift must have only been given to them not long ago!

Why did the bad news come out so quickly!

"No, this matter must not be simple! I am worried that Wanru and the child are in danger, so I want Ruixi to go and bring them back."

The queen nodded after hearing this: "This is what it should be. Wanru is the princess of our Minze Kingdom. We must not be bullied by the people of Nangong Kingdom for no reason! We must ask them for an explanation! What's wrong with this good prince?" If you say no, it’s gone!”
