Huang Laosi has always maintained a very strong interest in private visits outside the palace.
A few days ago, a citizen in Beijing's Zhongbei City gave birth to quintuplets. After Sun An mentioned it, Huang Laosi jumped three feet high. He was so happy that he didn't want to see anything. He acted as if he lived there. It's like passing next door to the pregnant woman.
It's not that Huang Laosi has no business, but that he used to be a general, riding horses and leading his younger brothers from Sanwei Bookstore to Baicao Garden. He could go wherever he wanted, free and easy, but now he was trapped in the palace every day. It must be uncomfortable.
With the speed of lightning, Huang Laosi changed his clothes and wore a Confucian robe worn by scholars. He took Sun An and about twenty of the elite palace guards, who were either overt or covert, and took advantage of the fact that no other courtiers were aware of it. Out of the palace.
Just one minister accompanied him, Dachang went to COO Nangong Xi.
Zhang Songling didn't follow him out, but he knew that the emperor was leaving the palace. Although he couldn't accompany him, he couldn't close his legs happily.
The old and cunning Zhang Songling did not dare to put all his hopes on this matter, so he ran out of the palace and contacted the merchants.
In a fight of this level, there is no point in testing back and forth. Once you take action, you will go all out. Zhang Songling is not prepared to leave any fallback.
Besides, Huang Laosi and Nangong Xi Junchen were sitting in the carriage. When they arrived outside the city, the sun had already set.
After leaving the south gate, Huang Laosi, who didn't like taking cars, got out and was about to walk to Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs.
The distance was not far, and Nangong Xi's status was displayed there, so the monarch and his ministers walked side by side without any formality.
Seeing that they were approaching the greenhouse in the southern suburbs, Huang Laosi narrowed his eyes.
I saw that the outside of the greenhouse in the southern suburbs was overcrowded. There were three long teams. Each team had at least more than 200 people. The three entrances to the greenhouse were separated by half-person-high wooden boards, which was orderly. sequence.
"That's..." Nangong Xi looked at it intently and asked puzzledly: "Why are there so many people waiting outside Yaxing?"
Huang Laosi curled his lips as if convulsed.
I came with you, who are you asking?
Sun An glanced sideways at Huang Laosi and found that the emperor was becoming more and more out of shape.
Recently, Huang Laosi is either curling his lips or rolling his eyes, which he learned from books. In the books written by Chu Qing, the characters described are as if they have brain diseases. He curls his lips or rolls his eyes all the time. Huang Laosi The more I watched it, the more I began to learn these expressions that I had no idea what they meant.
"Sun An."
"The old slave is here."
Huang Laosi said as he walked: "Go and find out why so many people gathered there."
"yes."
Sun Ansaya, an elderly attendant dressed in cloth clothes, ran over and took two guards with her.
"Your Majesty." Nangong Xi followed and said worriedly: "With so many people gathered here, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."
Huang Laosi rolled his eyes, not even bothering to respond.
In fact, the emperor Laosi is really different from other ordinary emperors. Including Nangong Xi, a son of a well-born family, there is a big difference between Huang Laosi and Huang Laosi, cognitively.
In the eyes of aristocratic family members and ministers, what are common people? The common people are those who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. The sweat drops fall to the ground and smash into eight petals. They just work hard with their hoes. The common people who farm the land are good common people.
Apart from farming, doing anything else is not a good job, especially when a group of people gather together, it is definitely not good.
When three or five common people gather together, most of them will be idlers.
Thirty to fifty people gathered together, most likely to beat drums and complain.
Three to five hundred people gathered together, most likely to go up the mountain to become bandits.
Three to five thousand people gathered together, 80% of whom were refugees.
If 30,000 to 50,000 people gather together, don't worry about it. They are 100% going to rebel. Just notify the Ministry of War.
This is what the so-called common people in the eyes of dignitaries should do. They farm the land honestly, pay rent honestly, serve in corvee honestly, and other things are not what they should do.
Don't say too much. I haven't read a book in the first place, so don't speak. You can just speak. You can praise the local parents and officials, praise the court, and talk about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. For other things, you can't say a word more, because You haven't read a book, because you have no knowledge, because you have no structure, you don't know anything, because you... are just common people.
The Dachang Dynasty may be lucky, at least for the time being, because their emperor is named Chang Chengyou.
The biggest difference between Chang Chengyou and the aristocratic families is that the emperor knows very well that the people who make up the country and the dynasty are the common people. If there are no ministers to help govern the country, the country will definitely fall apart and be destroyed soon. But if there are only ministers without The common people, then, represent that the country has perished.
The ministers and the people are indispensable, but if one has to choose between the two, Huang Laosi will definitely choose the people.
Because if there are no ministers, the people can become ministers. Once they become ministers, they will help govern the country.
In ancient times, did the younger brothers of Yao and Shun all read books, or did they all understand Confucian classics?
Common people can be trained as ministers, but if there are only ministers but no common people, the ministers cannot become common people. Even if they become common people, these ministers will still hate the country and the emperor.
Nangong Xi looked worried, but it was actually reasonable.
Because it was too quiet, in his impression, as long as more than ten people were together, it would be chaotic and noisy.
But there were no less than five hundred people queuing up in an orderly manner outside the greenhouse in the southern suburbs. At most, they were communicating in low voices, which was very strange.
Seeing that they were almost outside the greenhouse, Sun An ran back panting.
"Your Majesty, after asking, the people are paying."
"Pay the money, why do you pay the money?"
"The old slave didn't ask clearly. He said that this is the only restaurant in the capital. People who want to work can only come here, and the people who come here to work must pay."
"How unreasonable!" Huang Laosi was furious: "Chu Qing closed down all the dental shops just to make money like this?!"
Sun An lowered his head and remained silent.
He didn't know what was going on. Anyway, that's what the people said. What was a little strange was that these people were so sneaky when they mentioned it, as if they were afraid that others would know.
Nangong Xi sighed silently.
As the prime minister, he understood many things even if the emperor did not say it explicitly.
As for Chu Qing, the deputy commander of Qianqiying, Nangong Xi knew that he was definitely a fake. This could be seen from the drastic change in Qianqiying's behavior.
In the past, Qianqiying was deeply afraid that others would know that they were Tanma from Qianqiying.
Looking at the current Qianqi Camp, they are deeply afraid that others will not know that they are Qianqi Camp Tanma.
How low-key it was before, it is now high-profile.
In addition, if Chu Qing is really the deputy commander of Qianqiying, how can Chu Wensheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, have been aggrieved for so long, so many people want to punish Chu Wensheng, as the biological son of the deputy commander of Qianqiying , I have just endured it for more than half a year without farting. Should I go out to drink flower wine and flower wine?
Therefore, Nangong Xi had guessed that there was another deputy commander, and Chu Qing should have "just taken office".
But Nangong Xi still admires Chu Qing, a young youngster. At least he is doing things, doing the right things, and doing many things that the Nangong family wants to do but cannot do.
Now seeing Chu Qing amassing money with his own eyes, Nangong Xi didn't feel too angry, only disappointed.
The young descendants of the Dachang Dynasty are disappointed that today there will no longer be the grand scene of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Countless young scholars are fighting for their country and the people, even if they risk their lives with their swords.
