Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Hua Manman was stunned.

As far as she knew, the kings with different surnames in history almost never ended well.

Li Ji slowly told what happened back then.

"In the year when the current sage took the throne, a large-scale earthquake occurred in the southwest area, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Some folks spread that the virtue of a saint is unworthy and unbearable to be an emperor, which is why the gods are angered and the catastrophe is brought down.

At that time, the sage had just ascended the throne, and his position had not yet been fully secured.

There were frequent personnel changes in the court, and the saint was too busy to take care of himself, so he failed to issue an order in time to appease the affected people.

The common people were injured or died, no one cared about them, and mourning was everywhere.

Then the plague was born, and the disease spread rapidly, almost turning the entire southwest area into a hell on earth.

Public grievances were boiling, and someone rose up, and immediately got a response.

That was the biggest civil strife since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At the critical moment, your grandfather took the initiative to invite Ying, led troops to go out, and suppressed those rebels with thunderous means.

All the rebels were slaughtered, and none remained.

Afterwards, in order to commend your grandfather's achievements, the saint made an exception and canonized your grandfather as a prince.

Giving him the title of honor means that he can enjoy the honor throughout his life. "

After Hua Manman finished listening, she felt heavy in her heart.

Those rebels are nothing but a group of poor people who have nowhere to go.

As long as the court can give them a little hope, they will not embark on the road of rebellion.

"Why don't you recruit them?"

Li Ji: "Because your grandfather thought it was just a bunch of mobs.

Even if they are recruited, it will not bring any benefits to the court.

On the contrary, a lot of food will be wasted to feed such a large group of useless people.

It's better to kill it directly.

It may also be used to warn the people of the world that the majesty of the imperial court cannot be challenged.

His approach coincides with that of a saint.

At that time, the saint was besieged on all sides, and he had to use thunder to frighten people's hearts.

Slaughtering the insurgents can just serve as an example of killing chickens and monkeys. "

Hua Manman was speechless.

She couldn't say that there was anything wrong with the actions of the emperor and Yu Wang, because looking at them from their position, that was the most direct and effective approach.

For those in power, the people at the bottom are just ants.

There is no difference between the death of a hundred ants and the death of ten thousand ants.

Only those living at the bottom know that they are not ants, they are also human beings.

Li Xun sensed that his mother was not in a good mood.

He took the initiative to pick up a candied fruit and handed it to his mother's mouth.

"Mother eat this, this is very sweet."

When he is unhappy, he likes to eat something sweet.

As long as there is sweetness in the mouth, it seems to be more comfortable in the heart.

Hua Manman lowered his head to meet the child's clear eyes.

His eyes were full of concern.

Hua Manman's heart warmed up, and the haze lingering in her heart dissipated a lot.

She took the candied fruit and said with a smile.

"thanks."

the next day.

Because today is a big day to move the capital, officials will go out before dawn, rushing to the gate of the city one after another.

Hua Manman was forced to wake up early.

She changed into the crown robe that represented the identity of Prince Yu's son.

As soon as she walked through the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, she saw Li Xun standing beside the carriage.

Li Xun changed into a crimson crown dress today, making his face even more porcelain-white, like a beautiful and delicate porcelain doll.

He waved at his mother, smiling brightly.

Hua Manman walked over: "Why are you here? Where is your father?"

Li Xun: "Last night, someone from the palace sent to inform my father that the saint was seriously ill again.

The father went out to the palace in the middle of the night and never came back.

He sent me a message this morning.

He said that he set off directly from the palace today and asked me to go with my mother. "

Hua Manman hugged him and sat in the carriage.

The wheels of the car turned slowly, passed the road paved with bluestone slabs, and drove towards the city gate.

On the way, Hua Manman asked Li Xun if the saint's condition was not optimistic.

Li Xun curled his lips, looking very disdainful.

"The sage fell ill every three days, and every time he said that he was seriously ill, but in fact he was fine every time. The sage was just lying."

Hua Manman hurriedly covered his mouth and warned in a low voice.

"You can't talk nonsense about this. If someone else hears it, you will be finished."

Li Xun nodded obediently, indicating that he remembered it.

Only then did Hua Manman withdraw her hand.

Li Xun smiled slyly: "Mother, don't worry, I will only tell you these words."

There are many carriages driving on the street, and there are many servants behind those carriages, and there may even be traffic jams when encountering narrow roads.

Stopping and walking along the way, it took twice as long as usual to reach the gate of the city.

Fortunately, Hua Manman and the others went out early.

If you go out late, you must be late.

All civil and military officials and royal nobles have gathered near the city gate.

Just waiting for the cars of the Queen Mother and the Regent to appear, the large team began to slowly move towards Tianjing.

Hua Manman looked out through the car window, and found that the road ahead was vast, with no end in sight.

From a distance, it looks like a winding dragon, which is quite spectacular.

Hua Manman thought, this scene will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and if it is a history class a thousand years later, this incident will probably become a key point in the students' exam questions.

When she thought that she had also become a participant in this important event, she couldn't help being a little excited.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to witness history with your own eyes!

In Tianjing City, officials had already led the common people along the way to welcome them.

Originally, the Empress Dowager's car was the first in the team, but after entering Tianjing City, the Regent gave up riding in a carriage and rode a horse instead.

He rode at the head of the procession.

On both sides of the street were people kneeling on the ground, and they shouted in unison.

"The regent is thousand years old! The queen mother is thousand years old! The prince is thousand years old!"

Hua Manman and Li Xun heard the shouts outside, and opened the windows to look out.

The street was full of people kneeling, and behind the people were brand-new and tidy houses, and there was a tall and majestic palace wall in the distance.

The Taoist priests of Xuanji Temple and the monks of Chongming Temple also came out. They stood on both sides of the street and saluted the regent who was at the front of the procession.

Hua Qingqing didn't open the window to look outside, but just listening to the shouts outside, she could know how magnificent the scene outside was.

She looked down at the little prince sitting beside her, and asked softly.

"Qione, do you hear someone calling you?"

Li Qiong replied sternly: "Yes."

He is only one year older than Li Xun, but because of his different status, he has developed a mature and steady personality since he was a child.

Hua Qingqing: "From now on, this will be our home."

Li Qiong didn't ask why his father didn't move here together.

He just nodded to show that he knew.

The team finally stopped in front of the palace gate.

The princes, nobles and civil and military officials stepped out of the carriage one after another, and entered the palace on foot behind the empress dowager and the prince.

As for the servants they brought, they were taken by the stewards to their residence in Tianjing City.
