Ruthless debt

But as long as the people of the country know that their lord is a wise and peerless king, he can respect the sky and protect the people, and he is very courageous in admonishing, and he has governed the country for more than [-] years after he succeeded. Well-organized, the people have enough food and clothing to live without worrying about their livelihood.All the officials are honest and diligent, and there are many ministers who are honest and honest. If the world wants to know what a country is rich and the people are strong, the river is clean and the sea is clean, just go to Quguo to see it.

Having said that, there is one thing that has been bothering the subjects of the whole country, thinking that there is only one prince in the royal family of their great country.It's not that their lord's harem is barren, nor is it that their lord has a habit of cutting sleeves and only loves men who can't reproduce.From the queen down to the concubines and maids, there were many conceived babies in the past twenty years, but all of them were princesses. When the only prince of the royal family was born, there were already thirteen older sisters.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Throughout the dynasties, there have been many brothers who fought against each other because of fighting for imperial power. In Qu Country, there is no need to worry about such a situation happening.There is only one prince in all, and after a hundred years of being the king, the throne will undoubtedly be his. Even if he wants to fight for power, someone has to fight against him.

As the saying goes, the child is judged at the age of three, and the old is judged at the age of seven. The only prince in their country is 12 years old this year, and his qualifications and character have naturally been clearly understood by the whole country.If you randomly pull someone over on the street to ask how the prince is doing, it may not work in detail, after all, this palace compound is not a place where ordinary people can go if they want.But on a bigger scale, they still know something, for example, the prince loves to cry...

The prince loves to cry, this is the most worrying thing for the ruler of the country, it doesn't matter if the qualifications are mediocre, the most important thing he has under his command is good ministers, with them assisting the country, the country will not be so bad.But as the crown prince of a country, he will be crowned with great power in the future. If he moves, he will cry. If he knows about it in other countries, why not laugh at the lord of his country as a crybaby. What is the face of a great country?

The prince's name is Che, and everyone knows that the names of the royal heirs are all chosen by the senior official Tai Bu. This naming ceremony is quite solemn, from the king of the country to the civil and military officials, all must wear official uniforms. Sacrifice ancestors in front of the Taimiao.The content of the sacrificial offering is cumbersome and often takes half a day to end.The matter of naming is not trivial. It is consistent with national mourning, moving the capital, and conquests. It is all related to the destiny of the country and should not be underestimated.

The lord of the country thought that there must be something wrong on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, and there must be water in the word Che, and it must be because of this that the prince loves to cry.Now that the root cause has been found, it is necessary to find a way to solve it, so that the matter can be discussed with the officials in the early morning.Unexpectedly, Tai Bu persuaded him to die on the spot: the name of the prince was bestowed by the ancestors, if it is easily changed, it will definitely affect the fate of the country, if your majesty insists on going against the will of heaven, then this minister will be bumped to death in this court today, see you later The first emperor should not be ashamed.

Seeing that Tai Bu had already made up his mind to die, he never dared to mention the name change, he immediately blamed himself and tried to persuade him with good intentions, until he got rid of Tai Bu's intention to hit the wall, so the name change ended in failure .

If you want to say how much Prince Che loves to cry, you can't explain in a few words, so let me give you an example!

Prince Che once raised a rabbit when he was eight years old. This rabbit was neither a jade rabbit from the Moon Palace, nor a rabbit that had turned into a monster, but the fur color was a little different from other rabbits.The fur of domestic rabbits is white, the fur of wild rabbits is gray, and of course there are also black ones, but the fur of the rabbits raised by Prince Che is blue-gray.

This rabbit has undoubtedly become the treasure of the eight-year-old prince Che. His mother, Concubine Xian, loves her son like her life, so she naturally regards this rabbit as the treasure of her heart just like her son. The imperial physician took good care of her.Although they eat green vegetables and radishes, the cabbage radishes are different from ordinary cabbage radishes. You have to choose the best and freshest ones. In short, the rabbit was taken care of by the imperial doctor. The imperial concubine saw that the rabbit was taken care of like this Well, naturally, all the credit will be credited to the imperial physician.I don't know how many pillow winds she blew, and this imperial doctor became the head of the imperial hospital at such a young age. I don't know how many old imperial doctors with white hair and beard will vomit to death.

One day, the prince Che was playing with the rabbit in the garden. When the rabbit ran ahead, he chased after him. One person and one rabbit had fun.But people have misfortunes and blessings, and naturally rabbits also have misfortunes and blessings. When one person and one rabbit are having fun, a palace lady suddenly appears.The palace lady was holding tea and snacks in her hand, so naturally she didn't pay attention to her feet, and the rabbit died on the spot when she stepped down.

The imperial doctor hurried over and immediately felt the pulse of the rabbit, but no matter how good his medical skills were, it was impossible for him to feel the pulse from the dead rabbit, so he said heartbrokenly: "My Highness, please forgive me, the rabbit has already passed away."

When the prince Che heard this, his small mouth immediately shrunk, and the tears couldn't be stopped no matter what.His mother rushed over after hearing the news, and saw that her son's voice was hoarse from crying, so she thought of ways to coax her, but after half an hour of coaxing, she tried everything, but Prince Che's tears were like a flood that broke a dam, why? It can't be blocked.

This incident not only alarmed all the concubines and thirteen princesses in the harem, but also alarmed the king.Women are always prone to chaos, they only know how to make troubles but don't know the root cause, the prince Che cried a lot. In the end, it was because of a rabbit. There are tens of thousands of rabbits in the country. If one dies, just find another one. .The wise lord saw the crux of the problem and immediately drew up an order. He also ordered the artist to draw a portrait of the dead rabbit and hang it with the emperor's list. The bounty is one thousand taels.

Within an hour after the announcement of the imperial list, thousands of people with rabbits were already gathered outside the palace wall to receive the reward.Naturally, this thousand taels of gold cannot be obtained by simply picking up a rabbit. There are specially assigned guards who screen one by one outside the palace wall. You can only receive the reward if you can stop crying after looking at it.There were forty or fifty rabbits brought into the palace one after another, and they were all taken out and returned. At this time, Prince Che had been crying for five hours.

Even the majestic and grand ruler of the country also panicked at this moment. The rabbit prince Che who was brought in didn't even take a second look, so he hugged the stiff rabbit that had been dead for a long time and cried bitterly, asking if he didn't know what to do. Answer, it doesn't matter who comes.Finally, after crying for eight hours, the prince Che finally passed out from exhaustion from crying. Everyone was relieved to see it. It is better to faint from crying than to be dumb from crying.

While Prince Che was asleep, the lord hurriedly summoned a group of ministers to discuss how to resolve the matter, and everyone couldn't come up with a proper solution, like ants on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.All the people in the court were discussing in one go, and the king looked on in dismay, but there was only one person who kept a calm expression from the beginning to the end, and this person was the senior doctor Zuo Jiyun.

After everyone calmed down a bit, Zuo Jiyun walked out from the group of officials, and said in a leisurely manner: "Your Majesty, you might as well let this minister try."

As soon as the king heard this, he saw Zuo Jiyun's confident appearance, and immediately dismissed all the officials, and dragged him to the harem.

When the lord led Dr. Zuo to Prince Che's bedroom, he saw a group of women waiting around the bed for Prince Che to wake up. When they saw that Dr. Zuo, the head of all officials, came, they stepped out of the way.Concubine Xian is Zuo Jiyun's younger sister, her eyes turned red when she saw her brother, and she cried and complained that she didn't know what to do.Zuo Jiyun saw that Prince Che was still asleep, so he comforted him a few words, saying that he came here just for this matter, so she should not worry.

Zuo Jiyun pulled the lord aside, and explained to him the plan that he would implement in a while, the lord felt that the plan was acceptable, so he ordered him to let it go.After getting the order, Zuo Jiyun unambiguously recruited two guards immediately and ordered them to dig a hole in the courtyard.One of the waiting guards asked how big the pit was to be dug, Zuo Jiyun said: "It's okay to bury a living person." Then he ordered people to bring the maid who trampled the rabbit to death, and tied it up with ropes. Bury half of his body, as for the rest, wait until Prince Che wakes up.

The prince Che didn't sleep for a long time, the main reason was that the courtyard was too lively, and the palace maid who was half buried alive kept crying. This woman was at the age of the first melon seeds, so her voice was naturally clear and loud.Prince Che woke up and saw that the bed was surrounded by all the sisters and concubines, rubbed his eyes, then remembered the dead rabbit again, and burst into tears again.

Seeing this, Zuo Jiyun immediately winked at the king, and after the king understood, he unambiguously picked up Prince Che and went straight to the courtyard.Seeing Prince Che coming out, the two waiting guards knew that the time had come, so you shoveled each other to add soil to the pit. Seeing that the soil had been buried up to her waist, the maid cried louder and louder.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Prince Che saw someone crying louder than himself, so he paused to stop his tears. He saw that sister Jin'er, who served him every day, was buried in the soil, covered by her messy hair. Half of his face, the one wet with tears was sticking to the corner of his mouth, a small face that had already lost its beauty due to crying.

The two waiting guards next to it were constantly adding soil, one of them forgot to shovel for a while, and even forgot what Doctor Zuo had just explained.Seeing that the soil had been buried up to his chest, the Lord of the Kingdom hurriedly said to his son, "Che'er, I buried her alive today to accompany your rabbit. If you still feel uneasy, I will dig a few more holes to bury the rest of the rabbit in the yard." His slaves were also buried alive, who told them not to protect the rabbit properly."

As soon as these words came out, the servants in the courtyard immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and begged the lord to spare the prince's life.

The prince Che was being hugged in his arms at this time, seeing his father was going to kill, he hurriedly pushed his father with his small hands, and said in a childish voice: "Father, I don't want you to bury sister Jin'er, nor do you want to bury other people. The little rabbit doesn't want to be buried with anyone." After saying that, there was another sign of crying.

The ruler said: "But Che'er has been crying all the time. Father thinks that only by killing the murderer can Che'er be relieved, so that Che'er will not cry again."

At this time, Zuo Jiyun came over: "Your Highness, what Your Majesty means is that if you continue to cry, all the servants in this courtyard will be buried with the rabbit."

Jin'er, who was almost buried, said again: "Your Highness, save me... Jin'er doesn't want to die, Jin'er is only 15 years old, Jin'er doesn't want to die..."

Seeing that Jin'er had been buried to the point where only one head remained, and if Wei didn't stop fighting to fear that he would never see his sister Jin'er, he hurriedly shouted: "I won't cry, father, I won't cry, you Let Jin'er go, I don't want Jin'er to die." After saying that, he even grabbed the lord's skirt and wiped off the tears on his face, as if expressing his determination.

After Zuo Jiyun heard this, a fox-like smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand, and the two waiting guards stopped immediately, and dropped their shovels to dig the soil with their bare hands to save people.

After this incident, the lord no longer had to think of ways to coax his son, but whenever the prince Che cried, someone would immediately dig a hole in the courtyard.As for who was buried, there were many court ladies and servants in the Prince's Palace, and those who were a little bit above could be used as the culprits to stage a scene of mass burial of living people.The prince Che was young, so naturally he couldn't see through the mystery of the situation. He only suffered from those court ladies and servants, who cried hoarsely even though they knew that they would not really be buried alive.

After a long time, all the servants in the Prince's Palace volunteered to bury themselves alive. Firstly, they could share the worries of His Majesty, who was busy with daily affairs, and secondly, they could be comforted by Prince Che after being buried alive. It's just going to the soil to get grounded, and after being dug out, I have to wash more clothes, so why not do it!

It's just that everyone knew very well in their hearts that this method was just to stop the boiling water. The prince Che would still cry when he should cry, but he couldn't cry for so long.
