Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Shuangluo's ears were red, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Du Du Lai is a loyal and reliable man, and he loves you, how about I give you a marriage?"

Shuang Luo knelt down and bowed down: "Thank you for your kindness, this servant thinks this is inappropriate."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Shuang Luo's eyes were red: "Mr. Lai and the servants are like clouds and mud, and the servants are not worthy."

Xiao Yu sighed softly when he heard the words, as expected, which woman would not mind his past like that, he said: "There is no such thing as being worthy or not in a relationship, only whether you like it or not."

Shuangluo prostrated on the ground, gritted her teeth, and said, "Your servant doesn't like it."

Xiao Yu looked at Shuang Luo in astonishment, could it be that he had misunderstood: "You really don't like Lai Feng?"

"Yeah." Shuang Luo lowered her head, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Xiao Yu didn't speak, but Shuang Luo lowered her head, turned around, then got up, and walked out quickly.

"Stop!" Xiao Yu called Shuang Luo, got up and walked in front of her, slightly lowered his head to look at her face, which was already covered with tears, Xiao Yu sighed, "Why are you crying?"

Shuang Luo quickly wiped away her tears and shook her head: "This servant is not crying."

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I'm not too old to be dazed. Shuangluo, I know that you are not in agreement with this matter. You are worried about Lai Feng's identity and future, and you are afraid that people will gossip, right?"

Shuang Luo bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Xiao Yu said: "It's not that Lai Feng doesn't know your origin, but he doesn't mind. Don't you think such a person is particularly valuable? If you miss him, you will never meet another man like this in your life .”

Shuang Luo closed his eyes for a moment: "Captain Lai is both wise and brave, and has a bright future. This servant does not want to taint him."

Xiao Yu sighed: "How do you know that this is a stain and not a good story?"

Shuang Luo opened his eyes suddenly, could he still be a good story?

Xiao Yu said: "Since ancient times, heroes don't ask where they came from. The world is especially tolerant to men, but it is especially demanding on women. Isn't this unfair? Your origin is not up to you to choose, and it is not your fault. Why use this to punish yourself? You see, there is a type of person in this world who does not look at his own shortcomings, but always stares at the weaknesses of others, and uses standards that he cannot meet to demand others to laugh at others; However, they only look at their own weaknesses and judge themselves by the standards of the first type of people. Do you think this second type of people is pitiful?"

When Shuang Luo heard this, he remained silent.

Xiao Yu went on to say: "Tell me, who gave the first type of people the power to be harsh on others? And the second type of people, is it too arrogant to belittle themselves? No one is perfect."

Shuang Luo hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is perfect."

Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "I gave you this illusion? In fact, as an emperor, I am not qualified. But it doesn't matter if I am not perfect. We are all trying to make ourselves better, aren't we? ?"

Frostfall nodded gently.

Xiao Yu said: "I rescued you from the prison only to give you the possibility of a new life. Whether you can really break out of the prison and live a new life is up to you. Shuang Luo, you are a smart and capable girl, don't despise yourself. "

Shuang Luo bowed deeply to Xiao Yu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"You don't need to thank me. Consider the matter with Lai Feng carefully. I think I can give myself a chance." Xiao Yu said.

"The servant will consider it carefully, and the servant will leave."

Xiao Yu looked at the closed door, it seemed that Lai Feng had to wait for a while.

Before the releasers left the palace, Xiao Yu went to Jianye Palace to visit several concubines who were still living in the palace.Xiao Yu's mother was a queen, and he was established as a prince early on. Few of the concubines in the harem were disrespectful to him. Even Xiao Yi's biological mother, Concubine Zhao, was polite when she met him, at least superficially. It's all done.

However, Xiao Yu had complaints about Emperor Jingping, so he didn't want to come to see the concubines.

When he came this time, he undoubtedly threw a stone into the Jianye Palace, which was as calm as stagnant water, and the ripples soon spread to the entire harem. Almost everyone knew that His Majesty came to Jianye Palace.

The concubines and the palace people are discussing in private whether the former owner of the East Palace is going to rebuild the Ye Palace and move back in. If the new emperor moves back to the palace, then the lives of these palace people will be different. Totally hopeless.

Only Xiao Yi's concubines were in panic. If the new emperor wanted to move back, would he arrange for them to shave their hair and become nuns?Because this is the custom in the harem of this dynasty, when the late emperor passed away, those concubines who had heirs would be arranged to spend their lives in the palace or the palace, and those who had no heirs would have to become nuns.

Xiao Yi had no son, only his original wife gave birth to a daughter, and this daughter died young.There are more than a dozen concubines he has given titles to. These dozen concubines obviously only end up as monks, but they are all in the Mood for Love at the age of 20. Who would like to be with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a lifetime?

So Xiao Yu did not come to live in Jianye Palace, in fact, these concubines were relieved, when he appeared today, almost all of Xiao Yi's concubines gasped.

These people did not include Du Linglan, because early this morning, her family sent a message asking her to pack up her things so that she could leave the palace and return home in a few days.

Hearing that Xiao Yu came to Jianye Palace, Du Linglan was still a little nervous. Although she knew that they would not be able to meet, but thinking of what happened to them these years, she still felt sad in her heart.

Had I persisted a little longer, would my fate have been completely different?But she also knew very clearly in her heart that even if she did not enter the palace, she would not be able to meet Xiao Yu again, and her family would definitely help her arrange other marriages.

After Xiao Yu visited several concubines, he had someone issue an edict to release them from the palace.As soon as this order came out, there was an uproar in the Jianye Palace, and many people wept with joy, because they could finally not be trapped to death in this high-walled courtyard.

The principle of going out of the palace is voluntary, and every palace person who goes out of the palace is given travel expenses, allowing them to return home on their own, and Xiao Yi's concubines can also go back and marry another.

This move aroused great repercussions in Jianye City. For several days in a row, people were discussing the matter after dinner. People are released, this is planning to re-page the beauty pageant.

All of a sudden, the icemen in the city became extremely busy. Many families planned to quickly arrange marriages for their daughters of the right age, fearing that they would be selected and sent to the palace, separated from each other, and might never see each other for the rest of their lives.

Of course, there are some people who are not in a hurry and just wait for their daughters to be selected into the palace. If they can be selected as concubines by the emperor Linxing, then the whole family will be able to ascend to heaven.

Especially civil and military officials and aristocratic families who knew everything about the situation in the palace. They all wished that their daughters could be selected into the palace.

But Xiao Yu only let the palace servants go, but didn't mention anything about the beauty pageant entering the palace.As soon as the officials mentioned it, he said that everything in the palace should be kept simple and extravagance and waste should not be used on the grounds that the country was waiting for prosperity.

In fact, it was almost the same, there were only him, Pei Linzhi, and A Ping in the whole palace, and there were more than a dozen people serving them, which was enough. The difference was that they were mainly served by boys, not gentle and amiable girls.

Not long after the release of the palace servants, Xiao Yu issued a new imperial edict to ban all brothels and brothels nationwide and revoke all cheap registrations.

This order naturally caused an uproar again. Since the beginning of the new year, Xiao Yu has been doing some incredible things. First, he ordered the monks to return to vulgarity, confiscated the temple property, then released the palace servants, and now he wants to release all the prostitutes. His membership has been banned, what exactly does he want to do?

So many brothel women, how does the government plan to deal with them?

Of course the government has a solution, and it is still the same as in Guangzhou. Those who are willing to return home, those who are willing to marry arrange marriage, and those who are not willing to marry, they gather together and arrange work.

Talented people join the art troupe, or go to teahouses to sing opera.The rest will be arranged into the workshop.Anguo has raised hundreds of thousands of troops, and the soldiers need a lot of clothes, shoes and socks, and these female workers are probably too busy.

The most dissatisfied with the banning of brothels are naturally the owners of those brothels. They never dreamed that Xiao Yu would make such an idea.Because brothels existed no matter what era they were in. In their view, it was as natural as people eating and drinking.

But so what if they are dissatisfied, the people like to hear and see, but the emperor can't move.

While Xiao Yu was carrying out these edicts, Pei Linzhi was leading the soldiers to attack Shangluo County.Shangluo County is located in the southeast of Chang'an, only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an.Xirong realized the seriousness of the problem. Once Shangluo fell, Chang'an would lose the barrier of the Qinling Mountains and directly confront the An army.

Once the An army breaks through Tongguan, it is only a matter of time before Chang'an falls.Xirong sent heavy troops to guard, and wanted to defend Shangluo County at all costs.

When the local Han people heard that Anjun was coming, they were very welcome. They had been oppressed and enslaved by the Rong people for hundreds of years, and finally waited for the return of the Han king.

For so many years, the regime of the Hu people who ruled and oppressed them did not know how many times it was updated. Every time the emperor was changed, they had to worry about their fate.In the eyes of Hu people, Han people are not human beings, but tools and slaves.

Therefore, when Pei Linzhi led the soldiers to attack Xirong, except for the defenders of Xirong, they encountered no resistance, and even received guidance and help from the local Han people more than once.

The longer Pei Linzhi stayed in Xirong, the more he wanted to expel the Hu people as soon as possible and regain Chang'an, because the life of the local people was really miserable, and it was simply not a human life.

The Battle of Shangluo was extremely fierce, and the Western soldiers were mainly cavalry. In this kind of mountain defense battle, they could not give full play to their advantages, and they could only defend the city.

Pei Linzhi commanded the soldiers to attack twice, but they failed to attack. Even the gunpowder was used, but they failed to cause much damage to the solid city wall. The casualties were heavy, so they had to adopt the worst strategy of besieging the city.

Generally speaking, it is the most trouble-free and labor-saving way to encircle and not fight. It is to see who consumes more energy. Usually, the defenders of the city can not consume as much energy as the besiegers.

But why is it said that besieging the city is the worst policy here? Because many people in the city are Han Chinese. Once they are besieged, the people will be short of food, and the Hu people will kill Han people to satisfy their hunger. It is nothing new for them to eat people.

After half a month of siege, the situation that Pei Linzhi was worried about appeared in the city. The Xirong defenders began to throw the heads of the people from the tower because they had eaten their bodies.

Seeing this, Pei Linzhi was furious, and decided to attack the city again. No matter what, he wanted to take down Shangluo City this time.

This time, Ji Hai volunteered to be the siege vanguard.He performed very bravely in this war to conquer the West, and now he is a captain.

That night, Ji Hai performed very bravely. Although he was injured, he was the first to climb the city wall. Under his cover, more soldiers climbed the city wall.

The Xirong defenders rushed up the city wall continuously. They fought for half the night, and finally opened the city gate from the inside at dawn.

Pei Linzhi and Xiao Yao personally led an army into Shangluo City, and fought a decisive battle with the Xirong army in the city. When fighting with the Hu people, Pei Linzhi never showed compassion and killed everything he could, because the Hu people would not surrender willingly , Once you let the tiger go back to the mountain, next time they will still stab your chest with a knife and gun.

The battle lasted until noon.When counting the number of people, more than 2 Western soldiers were all killed, and our own casualties were also very heavy. Nearly [-] people died, and Ji Hai was also seriously injured and unconscious.
