Chapter 106 The Emperor is So Good
Chapter 106 The Emperor is So Good
Those who originally wanted to say something at the morning court kept their mouths shut, fearing that they would accidentally run into trouble.
From the streets where the nobles in the capital lived, there were cries of crying, expulsion, and pleas for mercy, attracting many people to watch.
"What happened? Why are there so many soldiers?"
"They're raiding my house, right? Look how much stuff they've taken out."
"Isn't the one leading the charge the young and promising general?"
"We have two promising young generals in Dongxia. Which one are you talking about?"
"This young general looks serious and steady, so he must be General Ling. I heard that General Ji is quite lively, so he must not be General Ji."
"Why are they raiding so many houses at the same time? What have they done wrong?"
"I heard from colleagues of my seventh aunt's cousin's brother-in-law that they seemed to be plotting a rebellion."
"What? Treason?"
"How is it possible? How come we don't know anything about such a big thing?"
"Didn't the emperor go hunting in Sanjue Mountain a few days ago? This must have happened at that time."
"The Emperor is such a good man. He reduced our taxes even though the treasury was so empty. How could someone still want to assassinate the Emperor?"
"That's right. My eldest aunt's son's cousin's sister-in-law's younger brother's brother-in-law works at the imperial farm. I heard that the emperor scared them yesterday while riding that big tiger, so he sent them two big wild boars to apologize."
"Speaking of that big tiger, did you see it? I heard them say it was amazing, but unfortunately I was working in the fields yesterday and didn't go out to see it. Is it really as amazing as they say?"
"If you ask me that, I'm not sleepy anymore. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. The big golden tiger looked so beautiful."
"I saw it too. The Emperor even let my youngest son touch it. I was afraid my son might upset the tiger, so I didn't dare let him."
"So tigers really don't eat people?"
"Of course. If they were cannibals, wouldn't the news be all over the place by now?"
"Isn't there a black bear? It doesn't eat people either."
"Don't tell me, don't tell me. I don't know how the emperor trained him to be more obedient than his own big yellow dog. Not only does he not eat people, he didn't even show his teeth to us onlookers."
"Hey? Look, isn't that General Ye's house? How come General Ye, who's usually such a nice guy, also had his house ransacked?"
"Yes, I remember that General Ye's daughter died while trying to shield the emperor from an arrow."
"Tsk! What good is there in that? He and Prince Xin poisoned many officials of Dongxia, and even raised private soldiers to surround the emperor and the officials."
"How did you know?"
"Notices have been posted at the city gates, clearly stating the crimes these people committed and the sentences they received."
"real or fake?"
"How could I possibly lie to you? I just came from the city gate. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."
After saying this, the crowd of people left their surroundings and rushed to the city gate to watch the excitement.
"The signs are posted at Caishikou and the Imperial Palace gates, so there's no need to squeeze through the city gates."
"This is close to Caishikou, let's go there and take a look."
When the people passed by, a scholar was reading the contents of the notice.
The people were filled with indignation when they heard this. They had such a good emperor, yet so many people wanted to assassinate him.
"Did Prince Xin, who caused such a stir in the city more than 20 years ago, get banished to his fiefdom by his father?"
"That's the one. I also heard that he was born a eunuch. There are at least dozens of beauties in the palace, but he hasn't had a single child."
"It's useless for a eunuch to have many beauties if he can't get an erection, right?"
"Then why is he fighting for the throne?"
"Who knows? If you ask me, the emperor is still too lenient. He dared to commit treason and regicide. How could he just be exiled?"
"My only concern is that with so many officials dying at once, wouldn't that mean the students taking next year's imperial examinations will have a much better chance?"
"Yes, I must hurry back and let my nephew study hard, so that he can pass the imperial examination and become an official next year."
"Yes, yes, me too. I'm going home to make something delicious for my son. His teacher always praises him for his intelligence and he's sure to pass the exam next year."
Such a major change in the capital not only did not cause turmoil in the court and unrest among the people, but instead made the people love and care for their emperor even more.
After all, in the past, which emperor would often appear in the streets and alleys to chat with them, and which emperor would publicly announce what they did with the money they donated.
Which emperor ever said in public: "The people are the foundation of the country. If the foundation is solid, the country will be peaceful" which clearly protects the people.
In the past, not to mention the emperor, even a small county magistrate would treat the lives of ordinary people like them as worthless.
But their emperor not only cared about the lives of ordinary people like them, but would rather tighten his belt and live a hard life to reduce their burden.
Who dares to say that their emperor is not good? Their emperor is so good.
The officials in the capital were all in a panic, and the people were watching the excitement or urging their children to study.
They were not affected at all by the turmoil, which gave pause to those who wanted to use it to incite the people's emotions and do something.
Leng Qingyi met Wu Ma Luoxue on his way back to the Yangxin Palace after court session.
Seeing that she looked like she had something to say, Leng Qingyi brought her into the Yangxin Palace.
"If you have anything to do, tell me."
"Your Majesty, I have discovered that the snake was set loose by the maid I brought from Southern Xinjiang. Should I deal with the person or hand him over to you?"
"Handle it yourself. If something like this happens again, you and your brother will have to put an end to what we have discussed. My great country cannot look down upon a tiny place like yours in Southern Xinjiang."
"Yes, this time it was my fault for being careless. It won't happen again."
Seeing that he had finished speaking and had no intention of leaving, Leng Qing looked up.
Wu Ma Luoxue raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly with an indescribable look on his face.
"What? Do you have anything else to do?"
"Your Majesty, could you please give me two doses of medicine that can force the poisonous insects out of my body? It's really inconvenient to be controlled by the high priest with the poisonous insects."
Wu Ma Luoxue knew that the conditions he proposed were somewhat unreasonable. After all, they did not help the emperor do anything.
But since it concerned their southern border royal family, she had to speak up.
"can."
"Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, we can take..."
"what did you say?"
"I said yes. I'll have someone deliver it to you this afternoon. But how to get it safely back to Southern Xinjiang depends on your own ability."
Wu Ma Luoxue immediately knelt down, and her usually cold and indifferent eyes were filled with gratitude when she looked at Leng Qing.
"Your Majesty's great kindness, I have no way to repay you."
"Just remember what you promised me."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. We will do anything as long as we can escape the High Priest's control."
"If you have nothing else, go down. I want to eat."
"Yes, the concubine is retiring."
