After Hongshu knew Wang Yue's intention, he shook his head and refused with a gentle smile.
The reason for her refusal was very simple. She said this, "Your Majesty, I am living a very good life now. My aunt is still alive. As for the others, there is really no need for her."
Wang Yue saw that Hongshu was determined and knew that she was content and did not want to cause trouble to him. He was moved and did not force it. Anyway, it would be too late in the future.
So, he stayed with Hongshu for half a day, then went to find Qingniao and told him his purpose.
Qingniao looked at Wang Yue's serious eyes and thought that Jiang Ni's mother, Empress Chu, was still alive. She knew what Wang Yue wanted to do, so she suddenly smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you asking me so suddenly?"
Wang Yue didn't expect that the blue bird could still laugh. This was so rare. He knew that he had asked about the blue bird's happy place.
In other words, Qingniao had been waiting for him to ask, so he simply said, "I just want to put more smiles on your face."
Qingniao saw that Wang Yue said so sweetly. Although she knew that these words were mostly to coax her, she was still very happy in her heart.
She smiled and said, "I have no expectations for my father, and my mother can't live without my father, so I have already thought about their current ending."
Wang Yue saw Qingniao put away his smile again, and said seriously, "I think you want to be free, so if I help you save Wu Su, I think you won't owe the Xu family anything, even though you are my
My concubine, but I don’t want you to be a bird trapped in the harem, I want you to be happy.”
Qingniao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Wang Yue to know her so well. She looked at Wang Yue's eyes that suddenly felt tender and watery, like a melting iceberg.
Seeing Wang Yue's surprise, she smiled and said, "I know you need to go to the deepest part of a person's memory, so there is no need to test me. You can't see the princess from my side."
Wang Yue did not expect this result. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "I originally thought that you were willing to stay in the Xu family because of your gratitude to Wu Su. You should have a deep memory of him."
Qingniao shook his head and said with a smile, "The princess is very kind to me, but I also gave my life to the Xu family. Our deal is very fair.
Therefore, what is most profound in my memory is not the death of the princess, but..."
When she said this, she changed the subject and said, "Anyway, I really don't need it here, and you may not be able to see Princess Liang."
Wang Yue saw that Qingniao was so determined, so he pretended to be helpless and said, "I have to do something for you, right?"
Qingniao shook his head and said seriously, "Aren't you ready to save the princess? This is the best thing you can do for me."
Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly, "But I can't find the right person now who can let me come to the time when Wu Su is not dead."
Qingniao hesitated for a moment and then said, "I know a person, and she must care about her very much."
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "Who?"
Qingniao is still smiling. She has a lot of smiles today, as if she has made up for all the smiles she had in the past.
Her voice was also very soft, without the coolness before, making it very comfortable to listen to, "You can find it, girl!"
Wang Yue was still a little uncomfortable with the current Blue Bird, so he asked doubtfully, "Who is the girl?"
Qingniao saw that Wang Yue couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he smiled and said, "I guessed this girl after listening to Jiang Ni's description."
Wang Yue was very curious as to why a little girl was called Miss Hehe, so he took the initiative to ask.
The blue bird looked at the north, as if lost in memories, patiently telling stories of the past.
It turns out that Xu Fengnian likes to eat soy sauce meat from a family named Jia in Beiliangcheng.
There was a girl in that family. She never smiled when she saw anyone. She dared to stare at Li Hanlin who was facing the four evils of Beiliang. Even if she occasionally saw something funny, she would laugh twice at most, so she was called Miss Hehe by Xu Fengnian.
.
When Qingniao talked about this, he said seriously, "This girl Haha has a pet giant panda. Jiang Ni said that you saw a girl riding a giant panda in Beimang and assassinated her.
I guess it couldn't be such a coincidence. Just before His Majesty came back to restore the country, he went back to Beiliang to check it out. Unexpectedly, it was really her."
Wang Yue frowned and asked with some confusion, "This only proves that she assassinated me, but it's nothing."
Qingniao sighed and said solemnly, "I saw this little girl when I was very young. At that time, I came to Beiliang not long ago, and I was deeply impressed by this girl.
She sold her body on the street at a young age to bury her father and mother. If the princess hadn't asked Xu Fengnian to give Miss Hehe a hairpin, I don't know, this girl would really have been bought."
Wang Yue frowned and asked with some confusion, "This happened many years ago, right? How did you confirm that these two people are the same person?"
Qingniao's thoughts were racing, her expression was still smiling, she said softly, "It turns out that I didn't know it was her, I just had some impressions, but this girl actually went to Beimang to assassinate you, which made me suspicious.
You must know that you were arranged by Xu Xiao so that no one knew who the Northern Liang Crown Prince was. But there is only one possibility for Miss Haha to assassinate you. That is, Xu Fengnian gave her the hairpin with her own hands. She only
Meet Xu Fengnian."
Wang Yue still felt it was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't find any other reasonable reason. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "This girl, I met her when I went to kill Emperor Liyang a few years ago. She
I'm with an old man dressed as a teacher. That old man is probably more powerful than Xuanyuan Jingcheng, and he might as well be a Confucian sage."
When Qingniao heard what Wang Yue said, he said solemnly, "If that's the case, it would explain why Miss Hehe's martial arts is so high.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It seems that she met an expert when she buried her parents, and that was how she was able to reach the first level or even higher level in such a short period of time."
When Wang Yue saw what Qingniao said, he smiled helplessly and said, "In that case, I'm going to visit Tai'an City again."
Seeing that Wang Yue didn't want to go to Tai'an City, Qingniao stopped him with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I was in Dali a few days ago and I saw Miss Hehe and the old gentleman you mentioned.
"
Wang Yue didn't expect that the old man really came. He was a little curious about why the old man came. He smiled and said, "In that case, let's go out for a walk together and visit Miss Hehe on the way."
…
After so many years of hard work, the equal land tax within the Xia Kingdom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The first batch of students who entered the Chinese studies from county schools have now begun to go to various states and counties for internships.
Because Xia State has strict assessments and its territory is not large, it is easy to supervise, so no one makes things difficult for them, and they are performing very well so far.
After the people got land, because the taxes were relatively low, they also had extra money in their hands, which led to a good business atmosphere in the Xia Kingdom.
The aristocratic families who lost their land, because Xia Gui would distribute a portion of the money from the treasury to them every year based on the land paid at that time. Although it was a little less than the taxes of the common people, it was still considered a fixed compensation.
Moreover, in this way, as long as the Xia Kingdom is not destroyed, this compensation will always be available, but it will not cause any trouble.
In fact, it is equivalent to Xia Guo renting land from the original aristocratic family, but the price is very low, and it will not turn the world upside down.
Then the land was resold and rented to the common people, earning a profit from the price difference. Because there was no intermediary exploitation, the taxes of the Xia people were very low.
As for the revenue from the treasury, it is actually mainly the output of state-owned factories, which is sold to Liyang or Beimang in the Western Region through the old land of Western Chu.
Wang Yue and Qingniao walked around Dali City, feeling the commercial atmosphere, and bought some jewelry for Qingniao.
Although she doesn't often wear the Blue Bird, she still accepted it as a gift from Wang Yue.
Just when the two of them were having fun shopping, they saw Miss Hehe and the old gentleman next to a storyteller shop.
The two of them immediately turned in and happened to hear the storyteller in the tea shop talking about the story of Emperor Xia's single-handed sword attack on Tai'an.
I don’t know how the story came to be told. Only 50% or 60% of the circumstances of the war are true, and the rest is just the storyteller’s imagination. But it sounds more soul-stirring than what Wang Yue experienced at the time.
When the old gentleman saw Wang Yue, he smiled and said, "I thought His Majesty should have come to see me long ago, but I didn't expect that it would take until today."
Wang Yue knew who this old gentleman was. He was the famous Huang Sanjia and the Spring and Autumn Thirteenth A. This old man actually occupied the top three.
Seeing that Huang Sanjia had made a mistake, he smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, why do you think I will come to see you?"
Huang Sanjia was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wang Yue carefully for a while. He didn't realize that Wang Yue was joking, so he asked with some confusion, "Didn't Emperor Xia come to see me?"
Wang Yue shook his head, pointed at the little girl next to Huang Sanjia, and said with a smile, "No, I'm here to find Miss Hehe."
Huang Sanjia still didn't believe it, but he thought that Miss Hehe had assassinated Wang Yue, and he was not sure whether Wang Yue would cause trouble for this matter, so he asked solemnly, "What do you want from her?"
The girl Hehe was not afraid at all. Instead, she was a little curious and didn't know why Wang Yue was looking for her.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could this Emperor Xia want to settle a score? Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed because she wanted to save Wang Yue last time.
Wang Yue didn't know what Miss Hehe was thinking, so he calmly explained, "When I came here this time, I actually wanted to ask Miss Hehe, what is the most profound thing in your memory about Miss Hehe?"
When the girl Hehe heard this, she felt that Wang Yue was here to settle accounts, and she became even more unhappy, so she sneered, "Haha!"
