The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

The Chang'an merchants who arrived in Youzhou earlier soon discovered that some extremely profitable industries in Chang'an were absolutely prohibited in Youzhou.

Apart from the brothels and gambling houses that were incredible and completely incomprehensible to them, even the slave trade was banned!

Of course, there were servants in Youzhou as well, but the death contract had been abolished and servants could only sign a living contract, and the master did not have the power of life and death over the servants.

Servants are not slaves. There is no slavery in Youzhou. What's more outrageous is that servants enjoy the same legal treatment as ordinary people. Can they still be called servants?

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and the untouchables, the class existence that was like a natural chasm in Chang'an was actually mixed up in Youzhou. The gentry did not have the privileges they should have, and the untouchables did not have the humility they should have.

I can’t imagine how surprised the nobles and dignitaries in Chang’an would be when they come to Youzhou!

In addition to commercial restrictions, Youzhou also has many anti-Tiangang systems, such as which women can work in workshops and boys and girls can study together in elementary schools.

Some formal colleges even accepted female students. What do you call this? This is against the will of heaven and is outrageous!

The merchants now believe the rumors in Chang'an. Prince Ling was bewitched by Princess Ling, and Youzhou City has completely become a plaything in the hands of Princess Ling. If this continues, the Great Xia Kingdom will be destroyed!

Soon, the merchants brought the news back to Chang'an. Although Chang'an had always heard about the peculiarities of Youzhou before, more details had not been spread.

I knew about the existence of Youzhou Law, and I thought it was a strict law enforcement by King Ling in order to control the chaotic border people. I didn't expect that it really treated everyone equally, and the nobles and the untouchables were also subject to Youzhou Law.

When I heard about the mansion system in Youzhou City, even the prince's palace was only one-tenth the size of the prince's palace in Chang'an.

Moreover, the mountains, forests, lakes, seas, etc. in Youzhou are all owned by the government. Private individuals only have the right to use them but not the land ownership.

In other words, even if you have money and land and want to buy a manor in Youzhou and build a country within a country, it is impossible.

The Youzhou Law had already spread among people of all classes in Chang'an. The people did not believe it at first. How could it be possible? A nobleman killed a lowly person and had to pay with his life!

This is certainly to fool the people. The emperor who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as the common people for hundreds of years, but in reality, no powerful person has ever been imprisoned for killing civilians.

As for the case of Chen Fang in Jeju, no one thought that it was Princess Ling who was truly enforcing the Youzhou law. It was clearly just to eliminate dissidents and she deliberately found an excuse to do it.

The people were half-believing and half-doubting, but there was always a glimmer of hope in their hearts. What if? What if this was true? Then the people in Youzhou would be so happy.

However, the nobles and the powerful knew very well that this was true. Prince Ling and Princess Ling had used this law to kill countless nobles and destroy many powerful families.

To ordinary people, Youzhou is like a paradise on earth, but to them, it is a hell full of confinement!

For a while, no one was willing to go, and various obstacles hindered the court's plan to move the capital.

Ling Moxiao’s attitude has been made clear. If you don’t want to go, that’s fine!

But you cannot hinder the court's plan. If you don't want to go, just stay in Chang'an and he won't pursue the matter.

But if you dare to obstruct, the Youzhou cavalry will be at your doorstep immediately.

After Ling Moxiao used his iron-blooded fist to kill several leading dignitaries, the rest of the people became quiet for the time being.

Without further delay, he immediately rushed to Youzhou and handed over the plan of moving the capital to Baiguan and Jiasi.

On the way, he received a letter from Chen Li, who advised him to ascend the throne first, quell the civil strife, and then launch the second campaign against Goryeo.

Because it was extremely cold in Goryeo this year and not suitable for marching, it would be useless even if Prince Ling came.

Ling Moxiao was filled with rage. The relocation was not going smoothly. The powerful and wealthy families in Chang'an were intertwined and had been arrogant for hundreds of years.

Based on his suppression in the past few years, it can only be said that the nobles were seriously injured but their foundation was not destroyed.

Do I really have to go on a killing spree?

The war to destroy Japan is not going well, and even Goryeo has not been destroyed yet. If the war is prolonged, will Dongsu be punished by God?

This is the problem he fears the most now. In his mind, issues such as moving the capital, the aristocracy, and Goryeo can all be resolved by force and time.

The fact that his beloved wife was carrying a destiny on her shoulders was the thing that Ling Moxiao was most worried and afraid of in his heart.

When he quickly returned to Prince Ling's Mansion in Youzhou, he saw A Yuan and Mo Xiujing raising twins.

After asking, we learned that Dongsu was sick and was afraid of passing his illness to the children, so he isolated himself in his bedroom.

At that moment, Ling Moxiao's joy at seeing his twins grow taller disappeared in an instant, and he felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head.

It was even colder than when he had to change horses but not people along the way in order to get back as quickly as possible, and travel against the snowstorm.

Dongsu seldom gets sick. Sometimes, when she has some minor illness or pain, she is a doctor herself and can quickly prescribe medicine for her. The patient just needs to rest for a few days to get well.

Now the situation has become so serious that they have to be quarantined. This must be a punishment from heaven! It’s all his fault for not conquering Goryeo and destroying Japan!

Ling Moxiao came to the bedroom in a daze, held Dong Su's hand while she was sleeping, and looked at her thinner face. His eyes instantly turned red.

It's his incompetence!

Dongsu has not had a peaceful day since she married him. Finally, the family is about to get through the night and welcome the dawn.

Finally, the troubles in Chang'an would no longer affect them. The reason why he was unwilling to ascend the throne in Chang'an was that he wanted to hold the coronation ceremony with Dong Su.

He wanted to give her the highest status for women in the world, the queen of a country.

He has the confidence to fight against anyone, no matter if it is an external enemy or an internal enemy, he is not afraid of anyone.

But can he fight against the sky?

Why is God so cruel? Why does he treat us like this? Since we got married, we have had so few reunions.

It's not that I won't destroy Japan, I'm just going to slow down and give us some time.

He couldn't imagine the days without Dongsu, especially when he heard the laughter of the twins, a boy and a girl, coming from outside. The children were still so young, and he wondered how he would tell them.

Your mother had a destiny entrusted to her, but it was because your father was useless and failed to fulfill that destiny that your mother was punished by God?

Ling Moxiao himself didn't even have time to react, he was already crying.

Dong Su was awakened by the low sobbing sound, and when she opened her eyes she saw Ling Moxiao's scribbled face.

His chin was covered with stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, he had dark circles under his eyes, his hair was messy, and he was wearing armor.

She sighed once again, is it true that no matter what the man's status is, once he gets married and has children, he will no longer care about taking care of his face?

When I first met you, I was struck by your beauty, handsome as a god. In just a few years, you have evolved from a handsome young man to a sloppy uncle.

And, Your Highness Prince Ling, why are you crying?

Your character has completely collapsed! When I first met you, I fell into your bathtub. You looked so cold, ruthless, and resolute. Now it's all gone!

But your husband is holding your hand and crying, you can’t laugh at him, right?

Shen Dongsu asked in a slightly hoarse voice:

"What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Is it about moving the capital? Or is it that the war in Goryeo is taking a turn for the worse? Don't worry, we have plenty of time, just take it slow."

Anyway, the former emperor and the deposed emperor are both dead, so it’s not that she looks down on the powerful people in Chang’an, well, well, she just looks down on them!

With their arrogant and conceited looks, nothing could be accomplished even if they were tied together.

Now, I, Youzhou, have a strong army, abundant grain reserves, a rich treasury, and unique gunpowder weapons. Am I still afraid of those silver-plated gun heads?

If you are smart, then learn from Chen Xingyao and be obedient. Prince Ling will not do anything to you out of consideration for their friendship.

But if you keep crossing King Ling's bottom line and affect the plan to move the capital, you will be discarded as a burden.

Ling Moxiao's reaction was totally beyond her expectations. He held her hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.

"It's all my fault."

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Shen Dongsu's mind. What usually happens when a husband confesses his guilt to his wife like this?

Suddenly thinking of the old queen, she sat up instantly and said angrily:

"You're not going to tell me that you've already taken a concubine in Chang'an?"

Ling Moxiao's tears stopped all of a sudden, and his mouth opened slightly, looking confused.

I'm thinking about divine punishment, what are you thinking about?

But looking at his wife's furious expression, Ling Moxiao knew that if he didn't explain clearly, he would suffer something more horrible than heaven's punishment!

He quickly told his guess, and now Shen Dongsu was confused.

"I just caught a cold and I'm almost recovered. You think too much. Well, I told you that it's true that I have a destiny."

"But the mission of destroying Japan can be completed as long as I am alive. Even if it cannot be completed, my children and grandchildren can complete it. God will not take my life early because of this."

Ling Moxiao asked seriously: "Really?"

Shen Dongsu nodded heavily: "Really! So if you need to move the capital, move it; if you need to attack Goryeo, attack Goryeo; if you need to discipline the nobles, discipline them; don't think too much."

"If outsiders saw the God of War Prince Ling crying in front of Princess Ling, he would be laughed at."

Ling Moxiao didn't care at all whether anyone would laugh at him or not. He hugged Dong Su tightly, as if he was hugging a treasure that had been lost and recovered, and said repeatedly:

"Great! Don't worry, I will never leave the task of destroying the Japanese to my children and grandchildren. I will definitely help you fulfill your destiny myself."

Thinking of her suspicion just now, Ling Moxiao said: "Also, I will not take a concubine. I promised you this a long time ago, and I will never break my promise."

Dong Su thought about her reaction just now, like a jealous person, and turned her head away a little embarrassedly, but she didn't say anything angrily, "If you want to accept it, just accept it, I don't care."

Instead, he said, "This is the best! If you dare to take a concubine, even if you ascend the throne to become the emperor, we can still divorce peacefully!"

Ling Moxiao hugged her tightly again and laughed:

"Okay! After the coronation ceremony, we will exchange the previous marriage contract and sign another one in the name of the emperor and queen."

Shen Dongsu was frightened by his armor, so she pushed him away and said, "Go wash up and change clothes first, then go pick up the child."

Ling Moxiao thought of something else: "Old Master Shen and the others have arrived, right? I'll go visit them first."

Shen Dongsu nodded: "Yes, my grandfather always wonders if you will get into trouble in Chang'an."

"You should listen carefully to what my grandfather and father say. If my mother asks you for something, don't agree."

Ling Moxiao knew that they were not on good terms, but how could a son-in-law refute his mother-in-law in person? Moreover, he loved Dong Su deeply, so he naturally had to respect her family.

He chuckled and said, "I'm used to hearing those people's fantasies in Chang'an. No matter what mother mentions, I can accept it."

Jiang was just a village woman. How could her wish be impossible to fulfill?

Shen Dongsu said with a smile: "You'd better be mentally prepared. Anyway, if you can avoid chatting with my mother, then don't chat with her. Chat more with my grandfather. He misses you the most."

Ling Moxiao brought his twins, a boy and a girl, and Mo Xiujing's sister Yuan to visit the Shen residence. He hadn't even summoned the officials yet, so he visited the Shen residence first.

Because he felt that he owed Dong Su too much, he naturally had to respect the Shen family.

Soon Ling Moxiao understood why Dong Su had repeatedly told him not to chat with Jiang.

In ordinary families, when the men are talking about serious matters, the women will serve them tea and snacks, and then they will go to another room to talk.

Sister Yuan wanted to use the twins to lure Jiang away, but Jiang refused to leave. When Ling Moxiao was talking with Grandpa and Father Shen about the situation in their hometown in Guangzhou.

She interrupted, "Is the son-in-law going to be the emperor? Then our Lin Zhong will be the emperor's uncle, how many wives can he marry?"

Zhong Yang forcibly pulled her away: "Mom, you and your cousin go take care of Dabao and Xiaobao."

As a result, she came to the living room again on the pretext of delivering tea and snacks. At this time, Ling Moxiao was chatting with Mo Xiujing and Shen Linzhong about moving the capital.

Jiang straightened his neck again and asked with a flattering smile:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xiao Pan is a high-ranking official in your place. Do you think my Zhong Yang still needs to take the imperial examination? He can still become an official without taking the imperial examination, right?"

This time he was pulled away by Yu Dayu. At the same time, Shen's father left the table with Jiang on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Jiang was still very angry: "Why do you always drag me to do something? My son-in-law finally came here, what's wrong with me talking to him?"

He also said to Yu Dayu: "Fourth Aunt wants to help you get an official position! Only when you have an official position can you get married."

When she was brought to Shen's father and her bedroom, Yu Dayu consciously went ahead and even closed the door for them.

This time, Father Shen did not tolerate her, and raised his hand to hit her, but did not bring it down until it was halfway up. Instead, he turned around and locked the door from the inside, and hung the key around his neck.

He said to Dayu outside, "I apologize to the prince. My leg suddenly hurts. Your fourth aunt has to take care of me. We will not be having dinner together."

Jiang was shocked and pulled the door, shouting, "Dayu, open the door quickly and let Fourth Aunt out. The prince has finally come here, Fourth Aunt will help you ask him for a high position."

Yu Dayu lowered his voice and said, "Fourth Aunt, if you keep yelling like this and attract the prince's guards, I'm afraid they will have to send you back to Guangzhou overnight."

This was more effective than any other persuasion. Jiang fell silent immediately, but continued to whisper:

"I am the prince's mother-in-law. Can't he say a few words?"

When Yu Dayu left their yard, he saw Shen Linzhong standing outside the yard with a guilty look on his face. He sighed and patted Shen Linzhong on the shoulder:

"You should listen to the princess and Zhong Yang and buy a manor for Fourth Aunt and her family in the outer city. They will live comfortably there and won't always make such a fool of themselves in front of others."

Grandpa Shen and Father Shen were very happy about buying a manor in the outer city. Grandpa Shen had even started thinking about his own breeding business, and Father Shen wanted to take a look at the Craftsmen's College.

Only Jiang shouted with her neck held high that she wanted to live in the inner city and lead a rich life with slaves and maids at her disposal, and she would never live in some manor!

I have been farming for most of my life, and my daughter is going to be the queen. Do you still want me to farm?

Shen Linzhong also felt that his mother had suffered too much, so he was very tolerant of her words and deeds, but this time, before Prince Ling came, he and Zhongyang repeatedly explained.

You must never speak nonsense in front of the prince. When the prince comes and greets you, you can go to the flower hall to play with the twins, or talk to Sister Yuan.

Jiang had agreed to it just a moment ago, but as soon as Prince Ling arrived, she immediately forgot what she had promised.

Now the joke she made has not spread widely, but after the capital is moved, Youzhou City will be full of powerful officials. Whenever someone comes to visit her, her words and deeds will immediately spread as a joke.

Those people were worried that they couldn't find Dong Su's weaknesses to attack, and Jiang would definitely become their handle to attack Dong Su.

Shen Linzhong made up his mind this time: "Okay, I'll trouble my cousin and Ding Qi to go pick a suitable manor and I'll have them move there."
