Don't go down if you have a kind [Rebirth]

After wasting half a day's effort, it was very easy to arrange Zheng Wuyou clearly, and he didn't sleep for long before the carriage drove into the capital of Xizhou.

Originally, I wanted to hurry to see the empress, but unexpectedly, the local snakes in Xizhou were no more worry-free than the nest in Liangzhou.As soon as we arrived, they immediately caused a big incident-the local rich people joined forces to stockpile black gunpowder and blew up the government office in the capital!

At this time, the motorcade was only two blocks away from the gate of the yamen, and the loud bang made the horse kick its hooves and run wildly, and ran straight into the streets and alleys.The old horse pulling me was so stupid that it plunged into the gate of the yamen where the wood, stone and sparks were flying, and the body rolled over, throwing me out mercilessly.

But I am safe and sound, and the one who is injured is the emperor's nephew who is behind me.The nephew wiped out a streak of blood on his elbow, turned over, pushed me behind, drew out his sword, and slashed head-on at a warrior wrapped in gunpowder who was rushing towards his face. The guards immediately rushed to surround him. It was very chaotic at one time.

In this chaos, the garrison of the Xizhou Military Government Yamen a few streets away was dispatched in full force, together with the civil servants of the capital who were going out to meet and drive in the middle of the way, and the mighty Tianzi convoy, filled most of the seats in and out. city.The warriors carrying the fire/powder packs were quickly captured, and the patrons of the warriors gathered arrogantly at the bombed-out yamen gate, and staged a sit-in demonstration in front of the emperor and the overlord.

Mainly protest against the government's "military aggression", "excessive taxation", and "empty hands and white wolves embezzling people's private property".

It's really the other way around. There hasn't been such a thing in the hundreds of years since the Daxing Dynasty.

But the government can't directly arrest people and behead them, because it is said that the new court of Liuzhou has just built a "Chui Gongtai".

Everyone is frustrated.

Officials of the Xizhou government office said that the government confiscated the land and property of wealthy merchants and great merchants to save the country, but the generals of the Xizhou army government said that the military had not received sufficient food and materials. Prices in the iron and steel industries soared, ordinary people suddenly lived in poverty, and began to curse the sky and curse the dog officials.

Scholars and knights gathered in the small teahouse, and spit was flying around, from the local dog officials to the Northern Qiang dog thieves, and from the Northern Qiang dog thieves to the "collapsed chaos and lewdness" of the Northern Court, the "lingering death" of the Western Court, " Greedy for life and afraid of death" Southern court.

While I was cleaning the fine gravel embedded in the skin and flesh of the nephew's arm, I was trembling with anger, and I wanted to rush out of the cubicle and chop them all with one knife.

The imperial nephew gasped and said with a smile, "Take it easy, Uncle Fourteen! I'll do it myself!"

I was so angry that I dropped the tweezers: "Don't call me uncle, I'm not your uncle."

"You are the Fourteenth Uncle," he still laughed, "whatever they do, who told me the day before yesterday, 'History is all false, and people's words are just a gale'?"

"..." I stared at him dryly, then turned to order the guards, "Kick out those idiots outside, and tell Xue Meng and the others to get out!"

The guards looked at each other.The imperial nephew suddenly said coolly: "What are you doing in a daze, do you want to rebel?"

The guards were nervous, trembling, and frightened.

After Xue Meng and a group of Xizhou native civil servants and generals came in, they all lowered their heads and pretended to be dumb.

"Speak!" I slapped the table angrily, "What's going on!"

Governor of Xizhou knelt down on his knees: "Return, report back to Your Majesty, the Emperor, ministers, ministers, etc., only collected wartime taxes according to the law, and there was no loss! It is really those rich households who are ignorant of the general situation and stingy with their private wealth, so that To do such a rebellious thing, disturbed..."

"Lord You," Xue Meng said coldly, "If General Ben remembers correctly, half a month ago you used government soldiers to forcibly demolish the rice shops of Liu, Zhou, and Qi in the south of the city. , bought out the two banks of Song Dynasty and Wu Dynasty. Two months ago, the yamen of your capital transported [-] carts of refined iron ore from nowhere, and enclosed a piece of land at the foot of the West Mountain to refine weapons. You kept saying, "according to the laws and regulations Pay the wartime tax', but Daxing's 'wartime tax' is collected and should be delivered to the imperial military government. You Danian, these rice grains, money, and weapons, our military government has not seen at all."

"Good, You Danian!" I kicked him out, "You still want to be greedy now! Come on! Drag him out and let me chop him up! Grab his house!"

"I'm wronged!" You Danian hurriedly hugged my feet, "I'm wronged! The emperor, your majesty, this is what the chamber of commerce means. Mr. Qiao originally said that the chamber of commerce is willing to do its best for you, the emperor, and the empress dowager." It's just that later on you... Later, His Majesty came with you, so, just... I don't know where the money, food and weapons are going!"

The imperial nephew got up and came forward, pulled You Danian's fat hand away with the tip of his sword, bent down and brushed off the corner of my clothes, and squatted down to look at You Danian: "Master You, we are old acquaintances, when we were tailoring When you were in the state government army, you were imprisoned because of the Xizhou army’s misdemeanors when the king of Jin rebelled, but I let you go. Why, are you so afraid of me?”

You Danian stared blankly at the hem of my clothes, then looked at my imperial nephew, as if he suddenly understood something, his plump face turned red and then white: "I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong! I didn't do it! Master Qiao ordered the caravan to take the ancient tea-horse road to Zhongzhou, and I don't know what they want to do!"

"The third master of the Qiao family," Wei Yanliu, who had been standing on one side, said, "Qiao Yueshi is the president of the Xizhou Chamber of Commerce."

I know who it is, this is my emperor's mother's third uncle.Because a queen was born in the family, the Qiao family became an imperial merchant, and the position of the president of the Xizhou Chamber of Commerce was of course always squatting in the Qiao family as the head of the family.The head of the Qiao family was originally my grandfather, Qiao Baiquan. After the grandfather passed away, his power should have been passed on to Qiao's second child, but Qiao's second child did not live up to it, and was seized by the third brother within two days of taking the position.

At that time, the empress only cared about being sad, and there was no shortage of money in the palace, so she didn't care about the housework at her mother's side.It was the grandmother who found the emperor and said that she would keep the fields and gardens of her mother's family in Xizhou in her hands, and some rare melons and fruits would grow in them so that they could be sent to the palace for me to eat.

He only cared about eating, but he unexpectedly caused the third brother Qiao to have such a disaster today.

After putting You Danian and a group of terrorist bombers in prison, my nephew and I went straight to Qiao's Xishan courtyard.

In the courtyard, the phoenix and bamboo are rustling, the snow is cold, and three or five attendants are busy with their own work.The snow-sweeping servant girl threw away the broom and ran into the house: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty is coming!"

The empress came out to meet me in cloaked clothes, she described as thin, leaning on a bamboo, she burst into tears when she saw me: "Fourteen! Your son!"

I hurriedly helped the emperor's mother into the room, and let her hold me and cry as if no one else was there, and winked for the emperor's nephew to grab the doctor.

The emperor's nephew sent the doctor who was seeing the emperor's mother to come, and he stood by the threshold to ask questions.

I twisted the corner of my sleeve soaked by the emperor's tears: "Mother, my son is fine, he is alive and kicking, don't worry. We will go back to the capital too, don't worry if the country won't perish. During this time, you will be frightened, It's your son's disappointment that makes you embarrassed. You have to take care of your health, and don't tire yourself because of your son's disappointment."

The empress turned me back and forth like pancakes: "Little bastard! Why have you lost so much weight! You look so pale, what's wrong with your hand... what's wrong with your hand? What happened to your previous injuries? You...you This little bastard! My mother's heart!"

... I felt embarrassed, so I glanced at the emperor's nephew.Seeing me glance at him, the imperial nephew sent the doctor to come over, glanced at my empress, a little embarrassed, folded her hands and lowered her eyebrows, as if she didn't know how to address her, she straightened her head and said in a daze: "Emperor... Your Majesty, the former head of the Imperial Hospital Li Yu from the hospital is also here this time, and has ordered him to come over and see you."

Only now did the empress notice the nephew, but she didn't seem to notice "just" because every time I winked with the nephew, her crying would always stop.As soon as the nephew spoke, she completely stopped crying, turned to look at the nephew, then turned back to look at me, and stared down at the teacup on the desk.After a long silence, he let out a deep sigh without saying anything.

The nephew's eyelids trembled in this sigh, and he looked up at me.

I hurriedly said: "Emperor, you misunderstood, my son is about to explain clearly to you. You may have heard some rumors, but you are the child's own mother, how can a mother not believe what her son says, but trust outsiders instead? Mao Lang He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has known the boy since he was a child, and treated him very well. He was not seeking power to usurp the throne, but he was ordered in danger. Bringing the ministers and the adults out from my sister was not to make things difficult, but to help him. Do your best to save lives. I heard that you are sick, and Mao Lang is more anxious than his son. He wants to visit you, but he dare not come to visit you. Don't scare him, how can you not even want to talk to him?"

The empress was stunned by what I said, and after a moment of relief, she suddenly said anxiously: "You bastard with an elbow turned outward! In your eyes, is it so hard to see through your mother! The empress Maolang Renyi knows it! It's just You... you... the rumors that you..."

"Emperor!" I laughed hurriedly, "You already know! Mao Lang! Why are you still standing there! Call someone, my mother agrees!"

"..." The emperor's nephew was shocked.

The empress was also dumbfounded.

The two stared at each other, and the air was suddenly quiet.

In the silence, the imperial nephew gave me a tentative look, and his face began to turn red.After seeing me, he suddenly bowed obediently to the empress, and said in a low voice, "Emperor...empress."

The queen broke down and burst into tears with a "wow": "You... you... it's your mother who didn't teach you well, he is your nephew! He is still a child! How can you..."

"He's not my nephew. Didn't that make it clear a long time ago? He's just a junior." I pulled up my sleeves and wiped away tears for the empress, "He's not a child anymore, he's just five years younger than me. You and your father The emperor is nearly 20 years old, so how can I say it?"

The empress twisted my ears hard: "You little bastard! Can it be the same! You are not justified by nature, you will be stabbed in the back by the world!"

I rubbed my deformed ears: "Natural laws don't allow it, it's fine if mother tolerates it. Our backbones are as strong as steel, let alone this life, even for generations to come, we are not afraid of being criticized by others. Besides, mother, I remember the past In the brochure you sent someone to the Evanescent Wave Terrace, there are also..."

"Then, how can it be the same?" The queen poked my forehead anxiously, "It's just...just..."

"It's just for fun," I rubbed the dent on my forehead, "Mother, I don't understand, why are those who play around are called elegant, but those who are serious are criticized? Yes, the boy and Maolang are just for fun, do you think it's okay?"

The empress was so angry that she kicked me away.

It doesn't hurt or itch.I leaned forward again: "Just play a hundred and eighty-year-old game, okay?"

The emperor's mother looked at the emperor's nephew, her eyes were averted, and there was a trace of guilt, and she kicked me away: "You! You can't imitate that kind of person, why are you playing? That's a crime!"

"Uh...then, what about us?" I was detoured into a dead end by my own mother.

"Emperor... empress," the emperor's nephew said suddenly, "don't listen to his nonsense, we...we want to agree, fourteen he...since he has reconciled with me, naturally there will be no such thing as marrying a wife and having children in this life. The same goes for me. The grievances and grievances of the ancestors have long passed, and those things themselves have nothing to do with you, your empress, or Shisi. After all, Sisi treats me with sincerity and sincerity.

Seeing that I was about to kneel again, I rushed over and knelt side by side together: "Mother! My son is worshiping the high hall here!"

The queen laughed angrily at me: "You! You...you get up for me! Mao Lang also gets up!"

I stood up slowly: "Emperor Niang, do you agree?"

The imperial nephew got up and stretched out his hand to help me, his jaw was tense, his back was stiff, and his expression was like facing an enemy before the battle.

The queen didn't agree, nor did she say no, she frowned and stared at the two of us with tears in her eyes. I didn't know what sad thing was touched, and sighed softly for a long time-the queen usually cried when he was sad, It's only when I'm very sad that I sigh like this.

She sighed, and gently took my hand: "Fourteen, my mother has never restrained you, and today, I can't restrain you anymore. You are a kind-hearted child. There are so many rules and regulations in this world. I don’t fully understand it, but probably anyone who follows the path of kindness and love can’t be said to be wrong. You just follow your own heart, and the emperor will not be able to look at you one day, and she will know that you are going well.”

"What does the emperor say?" I panicked for no reason, "The doctors are trustworthy in their medical skills, and the medicinal materials are still affordable. You still want to see my son recover the rivers and mountains for you."

The emperor said: "Mother knows, just watching. I also know that you are here this time to do business. Your third grandpa stabbed someone, and they were deceived by the lard, and they want to give the money they raised to Mr. Cang. But don't worry, some of the Qiao family's property is still with the empress, they can't move it yet, so take it for you now, and use it where it should be used."

"Cang Jun" is my elder sister's nickname, only the Queen Mother would call her that.
