Try to rebel today

While Zhou Yao was looking at Shang Zhongji, Shang Zhongji was also looking at him.

Shang Zhong was already very surprised. In the courtyard of the First Prince's Mansion, it was normal for him, a staff adviser, to appear. How could this little proton come?

Could it be... Knowing his secret plan?

No, it's not possible.

Shang Zhong narrowed his pupils slightly, his plan was so secretive that no one would know about it!

Zhou Yao bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, his mouth was full of fishy sweetness, he didn't show any strange expression just now, but he could see the other party's expression very clearly.

Although the adjustment was quick and natural, the moment he saw him, the stiffness on his face already explained everything!

Shang Zhong really recognized him!Already or planning to cheat him!

Very good, if I don't play you to death this time, my surname will not be Zhou!

The corners of Zhou Yao's lips rose, and his smile became more cute and bright.

The two are 'strangers', they 'don't know' each other, they are both in the Grand Prince's Mansion, and they are newcomers, so they have to greet politely when they meet a 'senior', so Zhou Yao just smiled obediently and pointed at Shang Zhong. nod.

Shang Zhong has returned a reserved nod.

How could he have forgotten that this little protégé is deadly, and his ability to cause trouble is top-notch, and the fourth prince dared to offend him, so coincidentally, when the front foot was about to end, something happened to Miss Li Yao on the back foot, and he gave her a hand... Climb along the pole and hug the eldest prince's thigh!

Coming here this time, I must have come to avoid disaster and save my life!

Originally, he felt sorry for this little proton who had become a coward. He didn't want to leave more traces, he just wanted to deceive people, and he didn't want the little proton's life. The knife falls, and the future troubles will be eliminated forever!

Shang Zhong stroked his beard maturely, and walked away proudly with square steps.

……

Zhou Yao lived in the First Prince's Mansion, and Li Yao made a special trip to thank him once.

There were too many people at the banquet, and the girl didn't want to say anything about it. She returned to her own place and felt much more at ease.The little girl still had the shyness of a young girl, and was embarrassed by the scene of being embarrassed, but she was also very cheerful and talked a lot with Zhou Yao.

This is a little girl with a strong heart, and being captive and falling into the water did not bring her a particularly great psychological pressure.

Zhou Yao always liked strong people, and he wanted to get close to the eldest prince through Li Yao in his heart, so he used tricks when speaking.

He first observed the little girl carefully, saw that her eyes were clear, she spoke slowly, and her words were leaning towards books, guessing that she liked reading, he praised her in this direction, arousing Li Yao's desire to talk and speak freely.

He encouraged Li Yao to express boldly, talked about many books that he likes on weekdays, and then guessed what Li Yao was interested in and the types of stories through the titles and contents of these books. Uncommon stories or common words in the book caused the little girl to exclaim.

"It's not a big deal. You will see it when you read a lot in the future," Zhou Yaoxiu pointed at his head with a long finger, "The things I remember here will always help you. When you encounter difficulties, think carefully, maybe It would be a very good idea."

Li Yao is very interested in this: "But I don't think it's useful..."

Zhou Yao gave her examples, such as the stories in the Three Kingdoms, and the wisdom hidden in each plot. After speaking, the little girl was stunned and smiled: "It seems that others are floating, why don't you tell me, you recently Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Li Yao is a girl in the boudoir, she has no major difficulties, but she is a little awkward, such as a little quarrel with her sisters, how to get along with people who are opposed to her family, she has grown up to be a scholar, she doesn't want to be fooled by servants, but she can't catch her method……

Zhou Yao gave her several suggestions by 'analyzing the story'.

Li Yao was very ignorant at the time, but after going back to try it out, she found that it was really amazing!While admiring Zhou Yao, the number of times to find Zhou Yao is more.

When the eldest prince found out that something was wrong and asked, Li Yao directly said that Zhou Yao was very smart and talented!

After saying this twice, the eldest prince took his heart, went to drink with Zhou Yao at night, and tentatively raised his troubles.

Zhou Yao had already heard about this, and was prepared for a long time. He didn't need to think long, and gave a wonderful suggestion calmly with a smile...

The eldest prince saw that he had really been negligent in the past!

It was so easy for Zhou Yao to enter the political circle of the eldest prince. Because of his high status, his status as a prince from childhood to adulthood was directly higher than that of all the staff and advisers.

Shang Zhong has...hasn't planned how to kill him yet.

In the First Prince's Mansion, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it is not easy to kill a proton with a sensitive identity.

In the end, he gave the face, the cheap little proton lived for a few more days, and was not in a hurry to crush him, so the little proton cried and begged for mercy. Fortunately, the little proton climbed on top of him!

This ability to flatter a horse and climb along the pole is no one else!

Do you really think I can't kill you?

Thinking of the big things he was busy with recently... Shang Zhong had squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Zhou Yao's house, smiled slyly, and went to the first prince's study.

……

The next day, the eldest prince went out and invited Zhou Yao to join him.

Zhou Yao didn't know what was going on here, and didn't ask why, so he followed the eldest prince into the street with a smile.

"I'm not very busy today, I think you're not familiar with this place, so I'll take you out for a stroll..."

Chu Liu wears a purple gold crown on his head, a prince's uniform woven with gold thread and embroidered with a dragon in the dark, a white jade silk belt wrapped around his waist, a jade pendant with five bats wishing cloud and mutton fat, a sable cloak outside, and delicate thin wooden deer feet on his feet. Leather boots, a school of wealth and glory.

He walked with his head held high, and his temperament matched the clothes very well. As he walked, he introduced the customs of Chu to Zhou Yao.

Maybe he himself didn't notice that when he spoke to Zhou Yao, there was the arrogance of the superiors towards the subordinates in his words, as if the other party had never seen such prosperity and had to worship him.

Chu land was originally a fiefdom of princes, and it was only in the past few decades that the king was called the emperor. After development, the prosperity level is still comparable to that of the capital city of Great Zhou, which lasted for hundreds of years. Zhou Yao really didn't like this.

He just smiled and nodded.

As long as you are happy, First Prince.

The bright side and the dark side of the city always coexist. After a while, Zhou Yao saw people huddled together in the corners of the streets and alleys.

They were men and women, old and young, all dressed thinly and shrunk.Younger children occasionally look forward to the street, hoping that some kind-hearted people can give something to them. Most of the older ones hang their heads and remain motionless. Some don’t even know whether they are dead or alive. .

Within a short distance of two streets, Zhou Yao saw dozens of people like this.

This is not normal.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are always people who can't survive. As the prince, he can read the notebooks summarizing these things every year. In his memory, since he was a child, there has never been a year in which no one died of freezing.

No matter how much the imperial court provides disaster relief, no matter how rich businessmen and dignitaries donate porridge, this matter cannot be avoided.

But in the capital city of a country, there should not be so many people who are about to freeze to death.There are too many disaster victims, the government will have statistical control, there will be emergency rescue regulations, things must be done, and face must be good, the capital of Chu State is like this...

Is it negligent and no one cares about it, or can't manage it, so the broken jar is broken?

Zhou Yao sighed, the possibility of the former is too small, it should be... out of control.

There are so many refugees in the city, what about outside the city?Isn't it more?

This year's cold winter...is really sad.

"... Zhou Yao? Zhou Yao? What are you looking at?"

"Oh, I'm looking at them," Zhou Yao pointed to the refugees in the corner, "This winter is very cold."

The eldest prince looked in the direction of his finger, and sighed with compassion on his face: "It's been a long time since I've encountered such a cold year, there's nothing alive in the sky." After sighing, he beckoned to follow him, "Go Tell the city officials, why do you let so many beggars in? Drive them out."

Zhou Yao was very surprised, that's it?

The eldest prince seemed to understand Zhou Yao's expression, and said with a smile: "You don't understand the situation in Chu State. There are many troublemakers who make trouble. Even if they are not troublemakers, they are so ignorant that they need to be punished."

Zhou Yao lowered his eyes: "After all, it's life..."

The eldest prince who respected human life in the past waved his hand now: "They are just common people."

Zhou Yao pursed his lips slightly.

Common people...are they not human anymore?Unworthy of being respected for life?

"Mencius has a saying that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the lightest. This is true. The number of common people is much greater than that of nobles. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. You need to be vigilant. But there are as many common people as there are, What is the impact of dying a few hundreds or even thousands of people? In the next year, the population can come back after a short period of time. The nobles are different. Everyone has the same circle and different skills. That's right, it's appropriate to associate with them and cherish each other. There are laws in the world, and if the nobles interact with the common people, wouldn't it break the rules? If you rely on the common people, don't you belittle yourself?"

It's only natural that the eldest prince is one of them.

Zhou Yao: ...

So when he killed Li Yao's captive that day, the eldest prince felt bad, because the killer was also a high-tech talent, useful, different from ordinary people?

The eldest prince's kindness and respect are conditional.

The eldest prince thought so in his heart, but he used his benevolence to build momentum... How did he succeed?

Could it be that he planned a course of action to deliberately confront the Fourth Prince?

Compared with the fourth prince, he is indeed benevolent.

The scene of clean streets, gloomy and cold weather, the glittering eldest prince, and the shivering, flimsy-clad refugees appearing on the corner of the street... is really ironic.

Zhou Yao lowered his eyes.

This is Chu State.

This is the benevolent prince of Chu State, who controls half of the country's power and can influence the overall situation of the world.

"It's really fate, I met my elder brother here—"

Following a sinister voice, a familiar person turned from the street in Xiecili, and greeted the eldest prince with a sarcastic tone: "Why, are you sympathizing with the world again?"

The eldest prince laughed when he saw the fourth prince, and his voice was very hearty: "I can't be idle. Seeing the cold weather, I came out to see that people's livelihood is normal. This is the fourth brother - white dragon fish suit, only two people with me, why not?" , go to Zuihonglou to relax?"

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes: "Drunken Red Mansion? Where is that place? I don't know much about it—could it be that elder brother often goes there? Please ask elder brother and younger brother to clarify."

"You are making a big joke. The fame of the drunken red building is known to all the yellow-mouthed children on the street. Could it be that they have all been there?" Do the right thing, it's time to clean up."

"This kind of filthy place is not worthy of the attention of people like you and me. Brother, it's better to pay attention, lest the father find out..."

"You don't know, how can you think that the drunken red building is a place where all the filth is hidden? Fourth brother, you are dishonest."

The eldest prince thought he had caught a loophole of the fourth prince, so he was very proud, and his smile became brighter.

As soon as the two fateful opponents met, they kindly put down their knives at each other, scolding each other non-stop...

Zhou Yao was not in the mood to pay attention.

At this moment, he couldn't see anything in his eyes, couldn't hear any sound in his ears, and stared blankly at the tall figure who was walking slowly not far away.

Broad shoulders, strong waist, long legs that are much longer than ordinary people, sharp sword eyebrows, sharp facial lines, as long as you don't smile, you have fierce eyes, and a long knife on your back...

It's Feng Jiang!

Why is Feng Jiang here?Obviously in my previous life...

That's right, he didn't live in the First Prince's Mansion in his previous life, nor did he go out with the First Prince this day.
