Mu Ruxue's last words, "The bones of a wealthy family will freeze to death on the stinking road of wine and meat" made Princess An Qi think deeply.
Because, this sentence fully demonstrates the current situation of Beiyi.
There was so much wine and meat in the homes of the nobles that it stunk. They would rather feed it to dogs or throw it into the river to feed fish than feed it to the untouchables.
The untouchables, on the other hand, can only rely on snow to satisfy their hunger. Sometimes they are lucky enough to pick up a piece of beef and mutton bones at the door of the nobles and make a pot of bone soup. For them, it is a delicacy in the world.
No matter which city or street in Beiyi, there are no people freezing to death?
Even in the most prosperous capital city, frozen bones can often be seen on the roadside.
Her mother, the Empress, had told her privately many times that she hoped there would be no untouchables in her rule, that everyone would have land to graze sheep, that everyone could afford to eat beef and mutton, and that everyone could afford to live in airtight buildings and walk on the streets of every city.
There are no beggars, no men, women, and children freezing to death on the street, no scenes of nobles treating untouchables as livestock for fun, etc.
It can be said that her mother has great ambitions and wants Beiyi to become better and better. As Mu Ruxue said, it is like heaven and earth.
But the resistance from the nobles was too great, and her mother was powerless.
Therefore, what Mu Ruxue wants to express is what her mother-empress wants and what she wants to achieve. Otherwise, based on Mu Ruxue's words and her typical anti-thief tone, she will definitely be killed!
"You rebel! You are so bold!" Xia Houkun was furious and said to General Tuoba: "Manager Tuoba, this woman is doubting the empress's ability to govern. As a celebrity around the empress, shouldn't you kill her?
This woman?"
General Tuoba said: "It is not a crime to be ignorant. She has just come to Beiyi and does not understand the customs and customs of Beiyi. Although she speaks freely, it is understandable. Our family will tell her not to talk nonsense in the future."
"Now our family would like to ask General Xiahou, the Empress did not give an order for you to lead the army to welcome Xiao Zhan. Why did you deceive the army and say that you were ordered to lead the army to welcome Xiao Zhan when he entered the country? And why did you bring them to your general's residence and treat them
Poison? Why did you do this? "
"I..." Xia Houkun was speechless.
Manager Tuoba continued the soul torture: "Could it be that General Xiahou knew that Princess Anqi and Xiao Zhan were friends, so he wanted to kill Xiao Zhan to prevent Princess Anqi from having such a brave friend?"
As a popular person around the empress, Chief Tuoba, what doesn’t he know?
Princess Mingyue wants to replace Princess Anqi as the head of Dongguan.
The empress wanted to weaken the power of the nobility and let the untouchables live their lives with their heads held high.
Princess Anqi wants Xiao Zhan to help weaken the power of the nobles.
He knows all this.
He was only loyal to the empress. No matter what the empress wanted to do, he would support her unconditionally.
Otherwise, Mu Ruxue would be able to slap Mu Ruxue to death with just one slap to describe the Beiyi people under the empress' rule.
"No, no, no!" Xia Houkun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Manager Tuoba, that's not the case. I killed them because I could see that their hearts were not in Beiyi. They came to Beiyi to seek refuge. Sooner or later they would return to Dazhou.
He will definitely be a powerful enemy of Beiyi by then, so I have to kill him to avoid endless troubles. I am definitely not killing him because he is a friend of the princess. What I tell is all the truth. If there is any lie, God
Struck by lightning!"
Xia Houkun may not be afraid of the empress.
But I am definitely afraid of Manager Tuoba.
Because Manager Tuoba is the best master in Beiyi and the third master in the world, it would be absolutely easy to kill him!
"Hmph!" Manager Tuoba snorted: "Don't take care of the things you should take care of from now on. Just take care of your responsibilities. As for the fact that you pretended to be His Majesty and asked you to welcome Xiao Zhan, our family will report it to Your Majesty. Just wait.
