No, no.
Zhao Ding quickly rejected this idea in his heart.
the reason is simple.
Daqian has been incompatible with civil and military affairs since ancient times. This is a situation that Taizu deliberately maintained since the founding of Daqian.
Later emperors basically continued this idea.
After all, once the civil service system and the military attaché system come together, there will be nothing left for the emperor to do.
And his father, Zhao Chongyuan, made it clear this time that he wanted to use his hand to intimidate the wealthy families who have occupied the Daqian civil service system for hundreds of years and make them more honest.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for a family of generals such as Wei Guogong, who can stand for hundreds of years, not to see this.
At this time, Xu Ruoyun's biggest possibility is to keep these two people and hand them over when necessary, so that Zhao Ding can give a heavy blow to the civil service system headed by the Zhou family and the Ye family!
Therefore, it is very likely that this matter is not what Zhao Ding thought at the beginning, but it is beneficial to him.
At the same time, with his father, Zhao Chongyuan's methods, he must also know this.
It can be said that everything was planned by his father, Zhao Chongyuan.
This feeling of being plotted is really disgusting.
Although Zhao Chongyuan's move may be to help him, Zhao Ding, Zhao Ding doesn't like this feeling either.
But now since this matter is beneficial to him, he doesn't bother to worry about it.
But once there is no benefit, then you see, I will give you the choice!
"gone."
Zhao Ding gave an order to Zhang San behind him.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
Zhang San looked at Zhao Ding in confusion.
There were a total of three stickmen and two queens, and a family member was even taken away by Xu Ruoyun.
Their clues are really gone.
"Go to Xu Ruoyun to ask for someone."
Zhao Ding said noncommittally.
"Looking for someone from Miss Xu?"
Zhang San was choked up when he heard this.
During this period of time, when he was with Zhao Ding, he often heard rumors about Miss Xu. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was off her horse, and she could bend a bow and arrow and command an army when she was on his horse.
In a man, he is a perfect person who can be both literary and military. But in a woman, it is a bit difficult to control.
And now that my prince is just asking for people, I hope he won't be disappointed!
"Let's go."
Seeing Zhang San's hesitation, Zhao Ding gave Zhang San a tug.
He casually took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and gave it to the old man with his grandson.
The reason why he didn't give more was not because Zhao Ding was reluctant to part with it, but because the common man was guilty of harboring the jade.
This Beimen Street is where the three religions and nine streams of Yingtian gather.
A lonely old man with a child suddenly has an extra ten taels of silver on him. This may not be a necessity to improve his life, but a real life-saving money.
And even these two taels of silver were enough for their grandfather and grandson to live a good life for a period of time.
And that's enough for them.
…
"Miss, I heard that Prince Yan went to Qinghefang?"
Yingtian City, on Qingshan Pier, in the two-story building not far from the pier.
After listening to the report from the outsider, Caiyun turned her head and looked at Xu Ruoyun with some embarrassment.
"just go."
Xu Ruoyun replied calmly, still looking downstairs.
"Miss, don't you know anything about it?"
Caiyun wanted to speak but stopped.
"What's wrong with me?"
Xu Ruoyun turned his head and looked at Caiyun in great surprise.
"I mean..."
But before Caiyun finished speaking, Xu Ruoyun waved his hand: "Caiyun, you have to understand that these days, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, especially when he is still a prince. Not to mention the current situation, in the future he can only do According to the laws of Daqian, a prince must have one main concubine and two side concubines.
As for me, none of this matters, as long as Zhao Ding can not fall into that gentle land and do what he wants to do now.
As for everything else, it doesn't matter. "
Xu Ruoyun said in a calm voice.
"Miss, you have a really big heart."
Caiyun couldn't help but complain.
"It's not big, so what? Is it really like those dramas say, running away from home? Elope? That's just a drama.
I am a member of the Xu family. Since I was born, I have been destined to shoulder things that ordinary women have never shouldered. Similarly, as a member of the royal family, he has also shouldered responsibilities that ordinary men have never shouldered since his birth.
Since this is the case, then naturally we cannot criticize him harshly based on the requirements of an ordinary couple. "
"Miss, I understand."
Listening to Xu Ruoyun's words, Caiyun opened her mouth, but did not speak after all.
Immediately, he changed the subject and asked: "Miss, when will we do it?"
The so-called action naturally refers to Yutian's Trading Company.
Especially now, Zhao Qingzhan is still inside.
"Not urgent."
Xu Ruoyun shook his head, "According to the news, there should be another official ship entering Qingshan Pier today. When that official ship arrives, it won't be too late for us to take action."
Speaking of this, Xu Ruoyun's cold eyes showed a hint of coldness.
"Yes, miss."
Caiyun replied.
…
At the same time, on Qingshan Pier.
"hurry up!"
Urgent urging sounds continued to sound on the shore of Qingshan Pier.
Coolies who were as thin as hemp poles, carrying heavy sacks on their backs, slowly walked out of the cabin, stepping on the wooden planks between the ferry and the hull, carrying the sacks containing unknown items on their backs towards the dock.
Zhao Qingzhan was also standing inside.
The delicate little face has long been covered by dust, and its original appearance is completely unrecognizable.
Snap!
A clear whip sound sounded.
A whip hit the stickman in front of Zhao Qingzhan, who was about forty years old.
The sound of the whip was heard.
A clear blood mark suddenly appeared on the back of the stickman, who was already extremely thin due to severe malnutrition.
Beads of sweat instantly covered his forehead.
But even so, he still managed to squeeze out a smile and flattered the steward who was waving a riding crop before. Then he gritted his teeth and continued walking tremblingly toward the pier, carrying the sack and stepping on the shaky wooden boards. go.
A rush of water came.
The hull shook violently, and the wooden planks connected to the ferry also shook.
For a moment, the figures of all the stickmen stepping on the wooden boards began to sway involuntarily.
The stickman who had been whipped before accidentally fell down, and the sack on his back instantly fell into the water.
"Grass mud horse, you eat a lot every day, and you can't do anything well. I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
Seeing the sack rolling down into the river, the steward who beat the cane man before suddenly cursed angrily.
The whip in his hand struck the stickman head and face.
Zhao Qingzhan just wanted to stop him, but was stopped by a middle-aged man behind him. He glanced at the steward who was beating the stickman with vigilant eyes, and then whispered to Zhao Qingzhan. : "You didn't understand when you first came here, so don't get involved in this matter."
After saying that, in front of Zhao Qingzhan, he struggled to carry the sack, stepped on the still shaking wooden planks, and walked towards the dock.
Behind him, there were many stick men, but most of them looked numb.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Qingzhan clenched his hands deeply.
Is this the real suffering of the people?
