Normally, if the court cannot support its own people, the world will be in chaos.
The requirements of the common people are simple to say the least, just for food and clothing;
It can be said that it is difficult. Low output, bad luck, natural disasters, etc. often make it difficult to achieve the simple words of food and clothing.
The common people are also the most resilient. As long as you don't treat them too harshly and don't starve them to death, almost no one will think of rebelling, and only a very small number of people will do evil.
In other words, as long as the people can see hope, they will not be in chaos.
But once hope is gone, people will really do anything to survive.
Stealing from neighbors, robbing wealthy businessmen, exchanging money for food, etc., etc., etc. In the end, there will be civil rebellion and the country will be in chaos.
But what if the common people have been brainwashed?
"What does the Suzaku Kingdom want to do?"
Are you planning to mobilize all the people to rob the surrounding small countries, or are you targeting a big country directly?
Gongsun's question directly caused Yuchi to give in, "You hagua, haven't you understood yet? The Suzaku Kingdom is coming to attack our Qilin Kingdom."
"I want to destroy our dragon veins, destroy our imperial tombs, and cooperate with the Jun family. I cooperated with King Xuan back then to make many places in Yingzhou a dead place, and there are still people who live and die, etc., just to cause us chaos.
of."
"At the same time, he is slowly forcing the people of his own country and letting the Dragon God Cult brainwash them. Once there is real turmoil in our country, it will be when Suzaku raises the hungry and brainless people all over the country to us."
As he said this, Yuchi himself felt frightened for a while.
Who would have guessed that the royal family of the Suzaku Kingdom would be so ambitious, and so ruthless that they would not even care about the people of their own country.
Special.
Fortunately, really fortunately they have a wise prince, otherwise...
Yuchi's eyes suddenly turned red and he knelt down towards Qi Bao'er.
But everyone present was shocked.
Qi Bao'er didn't expect his reaction to be so big. Eunuch Lin and Gongsun were so shocked by his words that they didn't react for a while.
When he knelt down, the two men woke up and immediately knelt down.
The three of them knelt down silently without saying anything, but they didn't say anything.
Qi Bao'er, Qi Bao'er was really confused for a moment.
Everything she had ever done had been done as she pleased. She had no intention of doing anything, and she had never thought about the connection or importance behind what she did.
After later guessing that everything was Suzaku's conspiracy against the Qilin Kingdom, and realizing that he had unintentionally torn apart the Suzaku Kingdom's conspiracy, Qi Bao'er never realized how great and deserving he was.
Be grateful.
She was only lucky that she could encounter those accidentally.
Now, she still thinks this way.
So I looked at the three people kneeling there with displeasure, and my tone became a bit stern, "Get up, your legs are so weak. What do I want you to do?"
Hearing that the prince was displeased, the three of them did not dare to continue kneeling and quickly responded with a 'yes'.
After being made such a fuss by them, Qi Baoer lost interest in discussing with them anymore and waved his hand to tell them all to get out.
Seeing her speechless expression, Patriarch Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Three of your men are innocent at heart, which is rare."
That being said, he still wanted to laugh when he thought about the scene just now, especially when Yuchi suddenly knelt down, and Little Baoer was so shocked that all the cakes in his hand fell.
If the three of them hadn't paid attention to her at that time, her master would have been embarrassed in front of her subordinates.
Why should I be grateful? If I can't bear it, those three will be beaten.

There are fourth-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, let alone the subordinates of King Wu of the first rank! They can only stand. How dare County Magistrate Yang sit down in a small place of seventh rank.
After he got up, he stood respectfully aside and waited for questions.
Magistrate Yang knew that King Lan was the imperial envoy to the territory this time, but if he went from the capital to the territory without turning around, he would not pass through Xianfeng County. There was an epidemic outside Jingzhou City, and the disaster in the three states of the territory was serious. Magistrate Yang and the people above him
They all thought that there would be nothing unusual about King Lan's itinerary.
But just in case, the superiors still asked him to temporarily suspend the entry fee until it was confirmed that King Lan had left Jingzhou for his territory.
Thinking of this, he glanced above with trembling eyes at the young man who had been silent since he woke him up. Magistrate Yang felt so regretful that he wished he could go back in time to a few days ago.
Hopefully, it's not too late.
But it seemed that God did not hear his prayers. He only heard the young man above him asking with a calm and gentle voice: "Master Yang, I want to represent the ministers in the court who are shouting about the lack of money every day.
Thank you on behalf of the officials who want to enrich themselves but are unable to do so because the national treasury is short of silver."
After saying this, Jun Jinlan blew the water in the cup leisurely but did not drink it. Instead, he put the tea cup back on the table.
Huo Han: "...poof~"
Why does this kid become more and more damaged as he grows up? He can learn from no one.
Magistrate Yang knelt down with a thud and was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
"Your Majesty makes atonement."
To say how much ability Magistrate Yang has, he really has none.
He took several exams before he was admitted as a scholar, but he still barely passed the exam, let alone the civil servant exam. He didn't even dare to take the exam.
Mei's second uncle was the chief bookkeeper of Changming County, and his son was not a scholar and could not take over his duties. Mei's father used two prosperous shops to make his second uncle give up the position of chief bookkeeper to Yang Jilin.
The magistrate of Changming County was not very lucky. When his family went to visit relatives, they encountered robbers on the road and the whole family did not come back.
Yu State has a vast territory, with dozens of prefectures, hundreds of cities, and the number of counties and villages is even more astonishing.
A minor official such as a county magistrate or county magistrate [head of a township] is appointed by the magistrate or magistrate of the jurisdiction, unless specifically designated by the emperor after the imperial examination.
In this way, there will naturally be more room for movement in the middle.
The Mei family was short of everything except money. As soon as a few large gifts were given to them, Yang Jilin was promoted from the chief bookkeeper to the county magistrate.
It's just that for a local official like him, his fame is not high and he is a scholar. It is impossible for him to be promoted further, so he has always been in the position of county magistrate.
I used to be the county magistrate in Changming County. Magistrate Yang and even the position of magistrate were obtained by Mei's father. Naturally, Magistrate Yang did not dare to do anything. In addition, he was mediocre and not very courageous, so he never made any achievements.
But I don’t have the guts to make any big mistakes.
This was the first time he dared to disobey the imperial court and collect the city entry fee.
It was quite refreshing when I picked it up, but it was also really scary. I kept feeling uneasy and my neck always felt cold. I had to touch it from time to time to make sure my head was still connected to my neck.
No, Jun Jinlan hadn't mentioned the city entry fee yet. He was only frightened, and he immediately came out to 'atone for his sins'.
Jun Jinlan was quite prepared to use his strength but found that the opponent was a piece of brittle wood.
Holding his chin, he looked at Magistrate Yang who was kneeling on the ground with a lack of interest and had shaken into a sieve. Why did he feel like he was bullying others?
"What sin do you want me to atone for?"
"I'm the official... I'm the official..." Cold sweat was falling down. Magistrate Yang didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it away. He only felt that the sky was dark and dark before his eyes.
Jun Jinlan, Huo Han and others looked at him falling down: "..."
Jiufu stepped forward to check, "Master, I'm really unconscious."
