Chapter 1059 This is a disregard for human life

The emperor is gone.

No, the Empress is gone.

took away most of the officials in Chang'an City, as well as most of the attendants in the palace and the huge army.

The mighty people left Chang'an City.

"It is said that the Daming Palace was recently built, and the smell is relatively strong. The emperor wanted to let the wind pass, so he went to Jiucheng Palace."

Cui Chen sat there, and said slowly: "This is the first time the crown prince supervises the country."

"Those people in the East Palace are nothing to be afraid of." Lu Shunzai pondered for a long time, "The prince is young and has not yet determined his identity. Let them get close to the prince and do what he likes, or use some means, in a word, to make the prince feel good."

Wang Shun nodded, "The queen's means of weakening our gentry are endless, which reminds me of the late emperor. The first emperor was ambitious, but he still respected the gentry and did not do anything. Now the emperor, who was famous for being weak back then, did not Thinking about attacking is the most ruthless."

"There are no weak emperors, only incompetent emperors." Lu Shunzai said in a deep voice: "The empress will join forces to suppress our gentry and will not stop. I have to prepare with two hands. One is to continue to strengthen the gentry under the suppression of the empress; Start with the prince. Many things are better if they are subtle. We can exist for hundreds of years, so we must continue to exist for hundreds of years. We are not in a hurry...Emperors can live for decades, in the eyes of us and other gentry, it is just a passing cloud."

Cui Chen praised: "One hand is tough, the other hand is soft, both approaches. However, it is difficult for the prince to show favor."

"Then make trouble for him!" Lu Shunzai smiled slightly.

Knock knock knock!

There is a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door of the room was pushed open, and a follower came in.

"Alang, Jia Ping'an stayed."

Lu Shunzai took a deep breath, "If you stay, you can stay."

"Your Majesty also publicly told him to take good care of the prince."

Lu Shunzai picked up the teacup and sneered, "This is worrying about the officials of the Eastern Palace. Dai Zhide and others are going to be jealous like crazy. Good thing. Watch them fight."

…

"I want to go home and have a look."

Jia Pingan, who shouldered the important task of assisting the government, slipped away on the first day of work.

No way, Xincheng is urging.

The weather is hot, and the renovation project of the backyard of Xincheng has also ended, which is quite quiet.

The clump of pruning bamboo stands tall and graceful, with wooden stools beside it, which turned out to be the color of logs.

"sit."

The two sat opposite each other, Xincheng lowered his eyes slightly, "The emperor asked me if I want to go to Jiucheng Palace..."

Jia Pingan said: "Jiucheng Palace is not bad, it is quiet and a good place to escape the summer heat."

Did he expect me to go?

Xincheng whispered: "I thought there were too many people, so I didn't go."

"Yes! The accompanying soldiers, palace people... all civil and military officials, a large group of people."

Jia Pingan put his hands on the table casually, looked at Xincheng's hands, "Hey! Your hands are like this?"

Xincheng's hands are quite white and tender, still like the kind that can reflect light. When you take a closer look, you will find that they are white and rosy.

"Ahem!"

Huang Shu coughed dryly on the side.

Xincheng shyly withdrew his hand, "They said Ah Fu almost lost it?"

"No, Ah Fu is looking for a wife, and will come back when she finds it."

That ruthless little **** ran away without saying anything about bringing the lady back.

"I thought I would have another iron-eating beast in my house, hey!"

Xincheng covered his mouth and chuckled, "Then your family may not be at peace."

"yes!"

Jia Pingan felt a headache just thinking about it.

"If that iron-eating beast comes, give it to me. I will raise it."

Xincheng raised his eyes, seeing more water waves in his eyes, and the flow was quite moving.

"Okay!"

Jia Pingan thinks this is a good thing.

“A few gatherings a year is enough.”

Xiao Jia seemed a little careless.

Xincheng Sensation.

Jia Pingan raised his head, "Xincheng, do you know about the gentry?"

For the gentry, what Jia Ping’an knows is the outer skin. If you want to understand the flesh and blood of the gentry, you have to ask the aborigines.

Xincheng nodded, "I know a little bit. The gentry rely on the knowledge of the world to pass on from family to family. There is a lot of money and food in the family, and they are connected with each other, so the dynasties and dynasties cannot shake them."

"How's their temperament?"

Jia Ping'an always felt a little cloudy.

Xincheng smiled and said: "The late emperor hoped to marry the gentry, but the gentry dismissed it. What kind of temper do you think they are?"

"They thought they were gods!"

"right."

Jia Ping'an learned something.

"The gods... what would the gods think?"

This kind of mentality!

He was frowning in thought, with fine lines between his brows, but he didn't notice it.

Xincheng looked at him, tilting his head slightly forward, "Xiao Jia, but the way you look at them is not like a god?"

Huh!

Jia Ping'an raised his head and met Xincheng's bright eyes.

"Have it?"

He really didn't notice.

Xincheng nodded, "Last time when you looked at my son-in-law at my place, your eyes were like gods looking down on mortals."

Chang Sun Quan?

Jia Pingan remembered.

At that time, Xincheng invited him here to discuss matters, and Changsun Quan just asked to see him. After the two met, Changsun Quan was arrogant and Jia Pingan...

"Did you read it wrong?"

"Absolutely not."

Xincheng is very firm.

Jia Pingan was a little embarrassed, and teased: "Then you must have been staring at me."

It was quiet for an instant.

Huang Shu wanted to get angry.

Have you ever spoken like that?

What is a princess staring at you!

Are you handsome?

Xincheng lowered his eyes, and Jia Pingan regretted it, "I... I said something without intention, that... do you want to apologize?"

He felt that there was a high probability that Xincheng would alienate him for a while.

Xincheng looked up, "Sure!"

Jia Pingan: "..."

…

Damn it!

Xincheng is going crazy!

There was a half-smile in those beautiful eyes, "The person who spoke ill of me behind my back will be dealt with within three days."

I go!

Three days!

Jia Pingan had a headache, but said without hesitation: "Okay!"

After Jia Ping'an left, Huang Shu said softly: "Princess, Zhao Guogong's words are a bit unscrupulous!"

Xincheng said: "He used to be a little cautious when getting along with me, but now he is relaxed."

When a person relaxes, his true colors are revealed.

but…

Xincheng looked at his hands, blushing.

"The princess's hands are so beautiful."

Huang Shu looked at her hands and felt that there was a big gap.

Xincheng said quietly: "He talks recklessly, so I will give him a difficult problem. Those people have spread such vicious rumors for a long time, and it is difficult to find the source. If he can't find it after three days...he will definitely not find it. From time to time, I will give him a difficult problem, so that he will not be able to live in peace this year."

Huang Shu said: "Let him be a cow and a horse!"

"Nonsense!"

Xincheng drink lightly.

Huang Shu wondered, "Princess, why are you blushing?"

Xincheng waved his hand, "Go, go! Let me be quiet."

Huang Shu resigned.

Turning around at the corner, she saw Xincheng staring at her hands obsessively.

"Princess! Zhao Guogong is just a floating cloud, you can't catch him!"

…

Jia Pingan saw several carriages as soon as he left the Princess Mansion.

"What about Sun Zhen?"

The brown sugar is not there?

Zhang Tingxiang said: "Last year when the princess went out, Sun Zhen stepped forward to make love. The princess dismissed him. Sun Zhen was a little annoyed, so he said something... Where can you find a handsome man like me... The princess immediately made people feel uncomfortable. scolded him."

Be scolded by others, not by yourself!

Xincheng’s methods of crowding out people can be called small white flowers.

Zhang Tingxiang was eloquent, "Even if he is handsome, how can he still be more handsome than the Duke? It is far behind! With a weak face, it is not as handsome as the Duke, who is both civil and military."

hehe!

"This flattery is good, I will take it all."

Jia Ping'an got on his horse and left.

Behind him, Zhang Tingxiang looked at the carriages with his hands behind his back, and said sarcastically: "The Duke often goes in and out of the princess mansion, and there are no taboos. A group of idiots are still thinking about glory and wealth, and they deserve it?!"

Jia Ping'an immediately ordered Wang Lao Er and Xu Xiaoyu to go out and investigate together.

He Shi Shiran entered the palace.

Prince Lizheng looked very serious, sitting on the head and watching the memorial seriously.

"...I think this matter should be severely punished."

The prince raised his eyes.

Dai Zhide said: "Your Majesty, this man broke the leg of the little official in a slavery attack. He should be punished, but severe punishment is not necessary. Just pay more money and food."

Zhang Wenjin nodded, "That's very true. His Highness's reputation for benevolence is well known to everyone, so you must not..."

Everyone is nodding.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhao Guogong is asking to see you."

The prince's eyes lit up, "Please come in."

Jia Pingan came in and heard about it.

Prince asked: "What do you think, uncle?"

The seats are all lined up, Dai Zhide sits first, but Jia Ping'an is here...

Jia Pingan didn't sit down, and said: "The prince must first figure out what the name of benevolence means."

The prince ordered: "Give it to Uncle Dunzi."

Old Dai Zhide blushed, stood up and said, "Mr. Zhao, please sit down."

Jia Pingan is Zhao Guogong, the highest title, and Minister of the Ministry of War. He can crush these people in every way. So of course he was the first to sit.

But Jia Pingan didn't care about this at all, "You sit in your seat, and I'll leave as soon as I say it."

This man...

The people in the temple had black lines all over their heads.

But Dai Zhide and others were secretly happy.

The emperor said when he left, let Jia Pingan be optimistic about the prince. Optimistically, the scope of this term is too large. If Jia Pingan wants to interfere in political affairs, he can completely crush them with his status and influence.

But Jia Ping'an made it very clear: You play your tricks, don't look for me if you have nothing to do!

This is the same Zhao Guogong that everyone is familiar with.

Jia Pingan just stood there and said: "The so-called benevolence is outside the law. For example, if one person kills someone, the crime cannot be pardoned, but the superior says he is merciful and forgives his capital crime. It seems benevolent, but in the eyes of the people What is in your eyes? You treat the law like a child's play!"

The crown prince was shocked, "Yes, there is kindness outside the law."

Seeing that Jia Ping'an really didn't care whether to sit or not, Dai Zhide felt relieved, "Mr. Zhao, Your Highness's reputation..."

"You mean the name of the prince's benevolence?"

Dai Zhide nodded.

Jia Pingan smiled, "What is kindness? Kindness also comes from people. If the people are kind, it must mean being friendly to neighbors, caring for the old and loving the young, and reaching out to others when they are in trouble. This is kindness. But His Highness is the prince. The emperor. You see the whole world, not a neighborhood."

Li Hong said: "Such kindness should be aimed at the whole world."

"Yes." Jia Pingan said: "Someone makes a mistake unintentionally, and His Highness feels pity when he sees it; someone is in a difficult situation, and His Highness feels pity when he sees it... These are all fine. This is kindness! But besides the emperor's benevolence, there must be a thunderbolt." The means, just like this matter, someone raped and broke the leg of the little official, who is the little official?"

Jia Ping'an turned around and looked at Dai Zhide and the others, "The petty official is a person who is ordered by the emperor to govern one side. What kind of tyrant dares to indulge his slaves and commit murder? If such a person forgives him, it is not kindness, but..."

He turned back and looked at the prince again, "It's weak and deceitful! A weak and deceitful emperor, the courtiers will cheer, just because they can grab more power. But the world will mourn, because the courtiers have never seen the world in their eyes , only your own family's glory and wealth. Prince, do you understand?"

Prince stood up, "Please be taught."

Jia Ping'an nodded, "I will leave."

He turned around and strode away, the palace behind him was silent.

A bunch of scum!

Jia Ping'an looked calm, Zeng Xianglin sent him out, and said in a low voice: "They talk a lot, Your Highness often can't talk to them."

"Don't worry." Jia Pingan knew that his nephew needed a process of growth, "So if I don't come, I will let His Highness go through these trials."

Zeng Xianglin asked: "Is this the beating that the Duke said?"

"right."

Jia Pingan said: "How about His Majesty today? His Majesty has been a transparent person since he was a child. His father and brother didn't pay attention. He grew up in the palace. It was a coincidence that he was later established as the prince. He succeeded to the throne with great difficulty, but he was still in power. How many trials and tribulations did His Majesty go through during this journey? But without these trials, would you be able to have the resolute, resolute and skilled Majesty you are today?"

Zeng Xianglin stopped, "I understand now, so I will go back and tell you the story."

After the discussion ended later, Zeng Xianglin said what Jia Ping'an had said in private.

The prince was silent for a long time.

"I know the deep meaning of my uncle. I remember he said, how can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? Sincerely."

A servant came in, "Your Highness, the family complained, saying that the little official was his own broken leg. There are many people who testified. Now Wannian County is trying to arrest him, but they can't."

"Why?" The prince put down the document in his hand and asked.

The servant said: "Many people are testifying that the little official wronged Huang Yuanchu."

The incident happened in Chang'an City after the empress left. Most of the officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai went to Jiucheng Palace, leaving a group of crooked melons and jujubes. How to deal with this matter?

The prince summoned his ministers again.

Dai Zhide said dissatisfiedly: "Wannian County started late, and now things are getting bigger and they are passive. By the way, is this matter wronged to Huang Yuanchu, or is it true?"

Zhang Wenjin shook her head, "Wannian County is going to get someone, this is to prepare for interrogation. But people can't get it... no, there is no mistake in what happened. Huang Yuanchu is not a powerful man, but a wealthy family. Those people... spoke for him What are those people trying to do?"

Dai Zhide's eyes turned cold, "Not long after the empress left, the old man asserted that he wanted to use this matter to cause trouble for His Highness. Why... well... the old man knows."

Everyone looked at each other and understood clearly.

Dai Zhide chose his words carefully, "Your Highness, they are afraid."

Li Hong asked: "What are they afraid of?"

Dai Zhide smiled wryly, "They are more afraid of His Majesty than His Majesty..."

"More fierce?" Li Hong said: "Are they afraid of continuing Aye's method of suppressing the nobles?"

Everyone lowered their heads, "Your Highness is wise."

The prince sneered, "Take people! Let the Baiqi people also go and take Huang Yuanchu, who dares to stop... take them together!"

Everyone agreed.

Out of the main hall later, Zhang Wenjin and Dai Zhide walked together, whispering: "Your Highness didn't have such a temperament before."

"Jia Ping'an!" Dai Zhide's lips moved slightly, "The prince has been dragged to this level step by step by him. If you want to say whether it's okay...I don't dare to go against my will, so it's naturally good."

Zhang Wenjin nodded, "The state reserve can't be merciful blindly. That's not a blessing for the country, but a disaster. The former Han Dynasty has a precedent. But Professor Jia Ping'an gave the prince too much toughness."

Dai Zhide said: "Your Majesty is strong and tough on the gentry and constantly weakening them. It is enough. After the crown prince ascends the throne, it is natural to slow down a bit. This is the kingly way to ease the contradictions between each other."

"Yes! Blindly using force seems good, but those contradictions are hidden underneath. Once it explodes, who can stop it?"

Zhang Wenjin was worried, "It's easy to break through the past! The first emperor had a broad mind, which is why the rule of Zhenguan came into being. Your Majesty is a bit mean and has a bad reputation. If His Highness is the same, what will the outside world say about him?"

Tyrant!

…

Huang Yuanchu was drinking at home.

A group of people looked at him with smiles.

The leader is called Zhao Xingtian, he said with a smile: "Huang Langjun, but please rest assured, this matter is safe."

These people seem to be of low status, but once you dig deeper, you will find that the relationship behind them is inextricably linked, and it is inseparable from the tyrants of the gentry.

Huang Yuanchu didn't expect that his affairs would attract the attention and help of these people, and he raised his glass flattered, "Thank you for your help, in the future, just talk about anything."

This means wanting to take refuge.

Just as Zhao Xingtian was about to agree, a servant rushed in and shouted palely: "Mr. Lang, Baiqi is here."

Huang Yuanchu's complexion changed, and Zhao Xingtian said calmly: "Many people testified that this matter was not done by Mr. Huang Lang. Go in with peace of mind, no one dares to torture you, but remember... this matter has nothing to do with you!"

Outside the door, the hundred riders stared at the servants.

Ming Jing personally led the team, and said coldly: "Whoever dares to stop, take them all!"

No one dared to stop, Huang Yuanchu came out by himself.

"Ming Zhongguan, why do you look so imposing?"

Baiqi said dissatisfiedly: "He seems like a good guy, but we look like bad guys instead."

Ming Jing sneered, and after Huang Yuanchu came out, he asked, "Sign up."

Huang Yuanchu said indifferently: "Since you are here to get me, don't you know?"

"Sign up!"

Ming Jing reminded me again.

Huang Yuanchu smiled slightly, "You know."

Snapped!

Huang Yuanchu covered his face in disbelief, "How dare you hit someone?"
