"Long live Lord, this is what happened."
In the pavilion under the slope field, Li Jinglong carefully explained Wang Sanqiao's case, then bowed his head humbly and remained silent.
On the hillside in the distance, the old man and a group of courtiers were still immersed in the joy of the sweet potato harvest. The old man took the trouble to tell others how hard he had worked in the fields since summer and how he treated these seedlings.
care.
By the way, a group of nobles who had been working for a few days and picking up excrement several times also showed their arrogant and proud faces.
The air was filled with the sweet smell of sweet potatoes, and there was a pot standing next to it, steaming the newly harvested sweet potatoes. Has it been a good harvest? You always have to taste the joy of a good harvest. But the old man took his stinginess to the extreme, and the three Zhu family members ate it no matter what.
Okay, but there are only two military officers per person.
The officials knew that this thing was hard to come by and cherished it quite a lot. But those noble warriors opened their mouths and ate two sweet potatoes in a moment, just like pigs eating ginseng fruit.
"So, there's nothing too complicated about this case, right? Hiss... hiss..."
Zhu Yunxi said while peeling off the skin of the sweet potato in his hand.
The Hongshu in front of him was not nearly as big as the later ones, and the flesh was not as soft and waxy as he had seen before, and the taste was not as good.
But he was forced to eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he was so sweet that his mouth was full of food.
"Huh!" Zhu Yunxi blew on the freshly cooked potatoes, took a bite, and swallowed with a grin on his face, "What do you think?"
"Uh... I think this case can be handed over to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment for trial." After saying that, Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Yunxi and whispered, "But this case involves the uncle of the Tang Dynasty after all, and
As a worthy concubine in the palace, I think it is better not to make too much publicity. After all, if this kind of case spreads among the people, the people will not say anything nice!"
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed dumbly, "The emperor's relatives are capable of bullying others, why don't they allow the common people to scold them a few times?" After saying that, he ate the last bite of sweet potato, took a sip of tea, and said thoughtfully,
"I have also met Uncle Twenty-Third's uncle. In the early years when I was studying at Huadian, Uncle Twenty-Third said that he would go to his uncle's house to enjoy the autumn breeze when he had something to do."
"I remember that he was a member of the Jinwu Guards earlier and was later transferred to the Yingyang Guards, right?" Then he thought about it again, "In these years, I haven't heard anyone say that he has any faults in his conduct."
Li Jinglong immediately followed Zhu Yunxi's words, "What Long Live Lord said is that earlier when I was in charge of the Imperial City Guards, I had a friendship with Li An, and he was a kind person!"
The so-called talking and listening, Li Jinglong tried to figure out the meaning behind Zhu Yunxi's words when he spoke.
The relationship between the King of Tang and the Emperor has always been very good, and he has been a follower behind the Emperor since he was a child. The King of Tang is not more powerful than the other vassal princes, so he is just such a capable uncle. Before Long Live Master could express his disgust clearly, he
I can't say what others are like.
And based on his understanding of Long Live Lord, when the emperor usually talks about others, if the first half is affirmative, then the second half will be approved immediately.
"Under the noses of me and the old man in the capital, who is not a friendly person with his tail between his legs?" Zhu Yunxi changed the topic, "The commander of the first army is the uncle of the vassal prince. Who dares to provoke him when he is stationed in a foreign county?"
"Besides, it's the fault of a father who doesn't raise his children well. That Li who raped the daughter of the common people..."
"Li Zilong!" Li Jinglong quickly added.
"Yes, he raped a civilian girl and then bit him back. He is very familiar with the method. It seems that he has done it many times before. If he raises a son like this, he may not be a good father!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Hey, old man
Li, this name is a bit similar to yours!"
Li Jinglong laughed twice in agreement.
"Hey, speaking of it, Jurong is also within the scope of Gyeonggi." Zhu Yunxi continued, "It can be regarded as the emperor's feet, but there are also cases of people bullying others. There may be many such injustices in other places.
Some!"
These words made Li Jinglong immediately fall into deep thought, and his mind was rapidly calculating the major cases that had occurred in various places this year.
The emperor would not express such emotion easily, let alone say this without reason.
"I have been listening to the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy talking about history these days, and suddenly I discovered something!" Zhu Yunxi said, pointing to the stone bench next to him, "Sit down and listen!"
"According to the order!" Li Jinglong sat aside and stared at his toes without squinting.
Zhu Yunxi crossed his legs and leaned on the railing. He looked at the beaming old man in the distance and said with a smile, "After the Han dynasty established the world, when the country was peaceful and the people were safe, there were more knights in various state capitals, who valued justice over life."
"In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, there were more outlaws in the world!"
“During the previous dynasties of Zhao and Song, there were many scoundrels and scoundrels in Bianliang.”
"Whether it's a ranger or a desperado, they are all brave and ruthless people. They are all supposed to be the targets of the government's purge, but in the local area they are all prosperous, and they even have a lot of wealth.
, there are many partisans."
"I just wonder, since He Qinghaiyan belongs to the peaceful and prosperous age, how come there are so many bad people?"
Li Jinglong listened silently and did not answer.
"You see, on the other hand, when the country was destroyed in the past dynasties, there were no such ghosts and snake gods. Just like when the old man started the army, most of the nobles in Huaixi were dirt-legged people from the countryside. The three generations of our ancestors could not beat a fart with a pole!"
"That... Cao Zhen and others from the green forest, and King Kaiping and others who robbed homes and houses, all of them became bandits because they were forced by life."
"None of the heroes of Huaixi came from a scoundrel background."
"Hey, don't you think it's a little strange? Normal logic shouldn't be like this, right? It should be the other way around, right?"
Li Jinglong rolled his eyes, but still didn't speak.
But he was muttering in his heart, "The Emperor didn't say a word about Wang Sanqiao's case, but he talked about it every word."
"But later I read the history books several times and discovered the subtleties." Zhu Yunxi hugged his knees with his hands and swayed slightly, "Let's talk about why there were so many bad people in the prosperous times? In the prosperous times, the country's military power was strong, and the government was rich.
majesty."
"The power of being an official creates a breeding ground for these bad people. They pretend to be powerful and work in collusion. Moreover, in the prosperous times, there are more rules. Whether they are committing crimes or being honest, there are rules to control them. However, the bad guys are in charge.
Those who can’t control it only care about the people.”
"That is not the case in troubled times. If the people are not afraid of death, who will dare to bully them? The mud-legged people do not cultivate the land and reform, but kill people. It doesn't matter who you are, whether you are an official or a ruffian. If you are a rogue, you will be killed with a knife. Whatever the rules and regulations are, surviving is the rule, yes
no?"
Li Jinglong cupped his hands and smiled and said, "I am a stupid person, but after hearing what you said, Long Live Lord, something really enlightened!"
"This is also unreasonable, but I am thinking about it. I have been thinking about it these days." Zhu Yunxi still maintained the same posture as before, leaning against the pillar and shaking his body slightly. He said, "You must be reasonable in the prosperous age, no matter how grandiose you are."
Everyone can live well, there is no reason to explain in troubled times, so there are no bad people, only those who are not afraid and hope to die early and be reborn."
"But it's not like everyone can't live, right? It's not like everyone can't eat, right?"
"Then why is it that as long as someone rebels, it will immediately turn into a storm?"
"Tell me, why?"
Li Jinglong immediately thought deeply, "I am so stupid that I can't understand it!"
"Three feet of ice does not last in a day. In addition to violent expropriation, natural disasters and man-made disasters and land annexation, the country has been destroyed by dynasties, but there is also the loss of prestige of the government, which is deeply resented by the people, right?"
"Let's use the old man's story about raising armies again. In some cities, the officials and civilians were reduced to eating pots of milk to welcome the king's army without fighting. However, in other places, under the leadership of local magistrates, they would rather fight to the death of every soldier.
I will never surrender."
"Actually, it doesn't matter to the people whether we surrender or not, right? No matter who it is, they will have to levy grain, taxes, and labor. Besides, people are not stupid. They all know that once the city is defeated after a desperate resistance, the army will definitely wash the city and demonstrate."
"Then why are they so desperate?"
