Chapter 21

After I finished reading the memorials, even if they were sorted, they could still be piled up to the height of my waist, and the palace was lit with lamps.

The past few days have been so busy. One is that May is here, and plagues are frequent, and the imperial court's epidemic prevention work is about to start. Not only people, but also livestock, which are important means of production, are also in the scope of epidemic prevention work.Most of the whole territory of Great Yin has a humid and sultry climate in summer, which is similar to the national conditions in the previous life. Here, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is also called the poisonous moon. Although there is no such a person as Qu Yuan, the wormwood is smoked in May. The custom of drinking realgar wine and calamus wine also came into being naturally.

In addition, nearly half of the area in the north of Great Yin is probably due to the higher latitude, and the spring warms up slowly. It is not until late April and early May that spring wheat can be planted.In a feudal country where the agricultural economy is the mainstay, farming is the top priority.Checking the number of fields, confirming the distribution of grain seeds, ensuring the planting area, and many other issues related to whether they can eat in the second half of the year made the entire court busy.As an emperor, I am naturally busier than a minister.

So why am I visiting Huangzhuang?It is precisely for the farming season in May, to persuade farmers to teach mulberry, and to set an example for farmers friends.You see, even the emperor has personally planted the land, how can you not plant the land?In addition, it is also an expression of having fun with the people.After all, the peasants who farmed land for the emperor in Huangzhuang were still peasants.

Although I had eaten at the Qinzheng Pavilion at noon and evening, that little food had already been consumed by intensive mental work.I was in a hurry to go back to eat supper, um, I also stopped by to tease my two girls.The baby is soft and fragrant, and when held in my arms, there is no fatigue at all, and this has become my daily activity.

The next day I got up very early, because I had to go to Huangzhuang on the outskirts of the capital. Although the journey was not long, I was in a hurry to return to the palace before noon, so I set off early.The two fathers-in-law who had received the order last night had already driven the carriage and joined my convoy.The two of them stood respectfully in front of the luxurious carriage I was going to take, and greeted me respectfully when they saw me.

I helped one up with each hand, and then the two of them followed me onto the imperial chariot fearfully.As I said before, Shi Qiang's family is a military commander, and his official position is neither high nor low. Seriously speaking, he is not worthy of the position of queen, and Luo Chun is a commoner, a girl from a peasant family. not on.Although the courtiers didn't show anything in front of me, they did look down on my harem, even the two imperial relatives.

No one in Luo Chun's family is in the court, and he is very satisfied with the life of the wealthy and idle people, so naturally he has no feelings.But the Shi family is not.Shi Zhongming Haolai is also a general, now the world is peaceful, there are no battles to fight, and it is difficult for a military officer to be promoted, but his daughter married the emperor, not only did not bring benefits, but was squeezed out by courtiers everywhere, it is inevitable to be impetuous.I also understand that the Shi family has been using their brains to exploit Shi Qiang these days.

I sat upright and looked at the two father-in-laws sitting side by side, without speaking for a long time.Luo Chun's father, Luo Jingxiao, shrank his neck and dared not move. He has been pampered for several years, but the small family spirit of the common people is still deep-rooted. Although he is dressed in brocade robes, he really obeyed the sentence. Wearing a dragon robe does not look like a prince.Looking at Shi Zhongming again, his body is straight and he does not squint, his military style is obvious, but the tight corners of his mouth and slightly clenched fists reveal his uneasiness.

Neither of the two father-in-laws are talkative people, Luo Jingxiao is genuinely afraid, and Shi Zhongming doesn't know how to start.So the three of us just sat there for a long time.At this time, the carriage passed a depression, and the body shook violently for a moment.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Shi Zhongming hurriedly supported me who was staggering, breaking the silence in the room.

"Your Majesty, are you alright? The road is uneven, can you slow down?" Chen Fu shouted from outside the carriage.

"Well, go slowly and speed up after passing this section of the road." I replied like this.

"Yes." Chen Fu replied.Then I heard him yelling in a high-pitched and thin voice, "The emperor has ordered the convoy to slow down!" After a while, the entire team slowed down.

At this time, Shi Zhongming had already sat back, and he became the same as before.Luo Jingxiao secretly glanced at me, then hurriedly lowered his head.It wasn't me talking to them, and I didn't know where to start.Although the two of them are already my father-in-law, it's the first time I've seen them, and I can't find a breakthrough if I want to chat.In fact, you can directly ask about the fight in the street, but thinking that it is Yue Zhang after all, it seems a bit unreasonable for the world to ask the blame, but fortunately Shi Zhongming passed me a word.

"General Shi must have good skills. With such a bumpy carriage, he can free up his hands to take care of others."

"The emperor is not someone else, this is the duty of the courtier." Shi Zhongming replied like this.

"General Shi has a heart," I said, "If my ministers of the Great Yin keep their responsibilities in mind, why should the Great Yin not be prosperous?"

"Your Majesty's virtuousness is an example for all people, and he will surely keep our country prosperous and strong." Shi Zhongming said flatteringly.

"General Shi's words are a bit exaggerated. Is the prosperity of the Great Yin the result of me alone? If there are no ministers who are loyal to their duties, and no people who work hard, how can the prosperity of the Great Yin be achieved?"

Shi Zhongming was speechless for a moment, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty has a broad heart, is virtuous and loves the people, and it is the great fortune of Yin."

"This has nothing to do with heart and virtuousness. The world is like this. If there is no accumulation of subjects in the past, how can there be such a prosperous world? Even I stand on the merits of the predecessors. The power of the people, in my opinion The future is endless. Even if any emperor reigns, the common people can live a good life and write new history with their own hands."

Is history made by heroes or by the people?This is the focus of debate between the idealist view of history and the materialist view of history.As a former proletarian revolutionary fighter, even if I am now a landlord, I will not doubt this.History is not created by heroes, but heroes are produced from the people.Looking back on my previous life, I can't help but feel a little bit emotional, and the momentary emotions are also revealed with words.

Shi Zhongming had never heard of this kind of thought before, so he couldn't catch up with the words at all. I also felt that it was too much, so I wanted to say something to save the atmosphere, but there was a sobbing sound in my ear. I followed the sound and saw that he had been honest Luo Jingxiao who was actually sitting in the corner was wiping tears with his sleeve.This is very strange, Shi Zhongming and I didn't care much about him!Seeing that Shi Zhongming and I were looking at him, Luo Jingxiao panicked for a moment.Said tremblingly.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, grassroots, I didn't do it on purpose." The man in his forties was so frightened that his face turned pale, his eye circles were red, tears were still pouring out, and he looked a little ugly.

I was very confused, so I asked: "Then why are you crying?" Originally, I wanted to call Yuezhang, but after thinking about it, it's better not to scare people. Didn't I also call Shi Yuezhang when Shi Zhongming is in office? ?

Luo Jingxiao was still a little trembling, but seeing that I didn't mean to be angry, he still gathered up the courage to speak: "Go back to the emperor, Caomin, Caomin is just excited, no one has ever said such a thing to Caomin, those people, those people are married to their daughters. After going out, they all said that the grassroots were smoked from the ancestral graves, and they obviously looked down on our family secretly, but they still clung to our family to benefit from it."

Speaking of this, Luo Jingxiao's excitement overwhelmed his fear: "Do those blood-sucking leeches think Luo Jingxiao is stupid? Can't you see their small thoughts? Yes, my daughter is a queen, but this is also her blessing, her ability , but what does this have to do with them? What does it have to do with our family?"

"We are living well now, but we don't rely on Nannan's help! Nannan did lend money to the family to start a business, and the family even paid back the principal with interest! Why do outsiders say that our Luo family relies on high-married daughters to make a fortune? What's the difference between saying we sold our daughter! I, Luo Jingxiao, have walked upright and stood upright all my life, and I will suffer this wrong at the end!"

"Your majesty, you are still sensible. How could this good day have fallen from the sky? If you don't work hard, no matter how rich you are, you will be defeated by yourself. It is not wrong for my daughter to marry you!" Luo Jingxiao must have lost control of his emotions. , I was too scared before, but in a blink of an eye, I dare to say anything.

The more I listened, the more stupefied I became, and then I came back to my senses.This Yuezhang Luo is really interesting. Although his thinking is simple, his awareness is very high.Shi Zhongming was also taken aback naturally, he never thought that Luo Jingxiao, who looked honest and honest, could burst out so powerfully.I'm not good at words, and now I don't know what to say.

But Luo Jingxiao didn't stop there at all, instead he dragged Shi Zhongming into the water, he wiped his eyes hard, and looked at Shi Zhongming sincerely: "I heard that there is a saying that like attracts like, it really is so, Your Majesty He is such a good person, so the queen’s mother’s family is naturally good. If it wasn’t for General Shi’s help that day, my son would definitely not be able to please him! I haven’t thanked General Shi yet. It means that our two families must eat well A table! My treat!"

Oh, wait, didn't you two fight in the street?How did it become a drama where the Luo family suffered and General Shi drew his sword to help?I was maintaining this image of being stunned in my heart, but Shi Zhongming had already shown his nervousness on his face, but he may not have big expressions very often, so his face looked particularly stiff: "Master Luo, please be careful when speaking before Your Majesty."

Hearing Shi Zhongming's reminder, Luo Jingxiao came to his senses, his face changed instantly, I saw the despair on his face as if the sky would collapse in a second, Luo Jingxiao was already trembling and couldn't sit still, Shi Zhongming beside him was kind After pulling him, he didn't slip to the ground.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, Caomin, Caomin..."

I saw that he was scared like this, and I was amused for a while, and suddenly found that General Shi was also a kind-hearted person, which was different from what I imagined.I didn't intend to embarrass them, so I said: "Master Luo's words are rough and reasonable. If you are right, how can I blame you? You don't have to be afraid. I invite the two of you to come today, and I just want to let you know that day. Ask about street fights, don't be so nervous."

"We didn't, we didn't fight!" Luo Jingxiao was still in a daze.

Shi Zhongming thought more deeply, and he frowned: "I don't know that His Majesty is complaining to someone, but this is definitely not the case. Please also investigate clearly!"

"Oh? There is no fight, so what is the truth?" I looked at them with interest.The two confessions are inconsistent, someone must have lied, but I am curious, what is the benefit of participating in these two low-key imperial relatives?
