Chapter 215 I Bet You're Kind Early in the morning, Zhu Shou'an followed her two brothers to the alley outside the Jiang family's house. "I want to get off." The little girl couldn't help but want to get off and take a look. The accompanying palace maid looked at the two princes. "Come down, come down." This is Prince Yu. "Don't cry if you're ignored." King Jing said with a fierce look on his face. "I won't cry." Zhu Shou'an got off the carriage, made a face at her brother, and looked at the vendors outside the alley with great joy, "There are quite a few people." There was a woman outside the alley, and seeing her joy, she said, "Young lady, there were no such things here before." The siblings were dressed like ordinary people. The woman took a few more glances at them and said, "At that time, there was a family in the alley with a ninth-rank official. They said that the stall at the entrance of the alley disturbed people's sleep, so they asked the people from the Five Cities Military Department to drive them away."
"Then why did you give it again?" Zhu Shou'an asked. The little girl was quite pretty, her face was red from the cold, and the woman couldn't help wanting to pinch her when she saw her. But just as she was about to stretch out her hand, Prince Jing and Prince Yu came over and stood on both sides of the girl. Just like a door god. The woman withdrew her hands in embarrassment. "Not long after Chang Wei Bo moved in, he saw the people from the Five Cities Military Department driving away those small merchants, so he asked them why. The soldiers told him the reason, and Chang Wei Bo said that since God had given this person a life, he must have given him a way to make a living. What's wrong with setting up a stall? Who is it bothering? Let him come to me. I am the most reasonable person..." Zhu Shoumei found this interesting. "Did he go looking for that person?" The woman shook her head and nodded again. "Yes, but I heard that he bowed and nodded as soon as he saw Long Wilbur. He said that he felt happy every day when he heard the vendors shouting..." When they arrived at Jiang's house, Zhu Shou'an asked Jiang Qingzhi about this matter. "If you don't need food, would you be willing to set up a stall at the entrance of the alley in this cold weather?" Jiang Qingzhi asked with a smile. Zhu Shoumei shook her head, "No." "Then why are they willing to endure this hardship?" Duoduo in Jiang Qingzhi's arms felt a little uneasy when he saw the little girl. "That's..." Zhu Shou'an had lived in the palace for a long time and didn't know much about the business world, "to make money." "That's right!" Jiang Qingzhi said, "If we don't work, our family will have nothing to eat." "Then... why not do something else?" Zhu Shou'an asked. Jiang Qingzhi simply gave them a lesson on livelihood, "Do you know the story of why not eat meat porridge?" Zhu Shou'an nodded, and Jiang Qingzhi said, "For nobles, having enough to eat is not a problem, the problem is how to eat to satisfy yourself. This is a noble. But how many nobles are there in the world?" "Well...those officials, dignitaries, and rich people..." said the little girl. “Are there many of these people?” "not much." "That is to say, most people in the world have to work hard to earn money. The small vendors work hard to earn money, but the nobles say they are too noisy and ask the Five Cities Army to drive them away. Do you think that's right?"
Prince Yu seemed to be thinking about something. King Jing stood with his hands behind his back, thinking about his cousin's experience. He thought that his cousin had been bullied by the Ye clan since he was a child, and he thought that he could empathize with the experiences of ordinary people! "Shouldn't do that!" said Zhu Shou'an. "If it's really too noisy, then we should intervene. But this is the entrance to the alley, and the sound is quite weak. And this is only the morning stall... Who doesn't do business in the morning?" Jiang Qingzhi asked his two nephews, "What do you think about this matter?" King Jing said, "The vendors should be restrained and not make too much noise. Secondly, the official who arbitrarily mobilized the Five City Army should be investigated." "Where's the third brother?" Jiang Qingzhi asked without comment. "I wonder how many people in this world are as pitiful as these vendors." Prince Yu said, "I saw a woman selling mutton soup before. Her hands were rough and swollen. It was painful to look at." Jiang Qingzhi glanced at him and said, "Eat!" After breakfast, the two princes followed him to the study. Zhu Shou'an is also going today. He said he was studying with his brothers. "Alright." Jiang Qingzhi didn't mind having one more disciple. Jiang Qingzhi put aside the textbooks today and talked about what happened today. "The rich are living in luxury, while the poor are freezing on the streets. At the end of a dynasty, the rich are living in luxury, while the people at the bottom are starving for food under natural and man-made disasters. This is a sign of the country's demise." Jiang Qingzhi thought the little girl would not like to hear this, so he ignored her. But Zhu Shou'an was listening carefully. "Do those in power know about it or not? They know. But why do they ignore it?" Jiang Qingzhi threw out this question, and the two princes were stuck, with no answer. "Everyone would have a sense of luck and think that it wouldn't happen. But the key point is that these people have no way to deal with such a situation. This is the root of the problem." Prince Yu raised his hand, Jiang Qingzhi nodded, and Prince Yu stood up and said, "So that means they don't want to solve it, they just can't find a way to solve it." "Yes." Jiang Qingzhi said, "After all, only if the dynasty continues can their children and grandchildren continue to be rich and prosperous. No one would go against the future of their own family. Therefore, the biggest reason why they ignore the crisis of the dynasty is incompetence!" During the break, Zhu Shou'an went to chase Duoduo, and Jiang Qingzhi called the palace maid who was accompanying her to question her. "How is Shou Ni now?" The maid secretly glanced at Jiang Qingzhi and said, "Madam, now... at the beginning, she was still as cautious as before. But recently, she has improved a lot and is willing to go out for a walk. Occasionally, she will even shout when she sees a bird..." Poor kid, his life in the past was like being in prison. "How are the people around her?" Jiang Qingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly. The maid waited for a while before saying, "No one dares to offend the lady now." "Okay." Jiang Qingzhi waved his hand and the palace maid left. After she went out, her companion outside walked side by side with her and whispered, "Why were you shaking before?"
"Last time, when Long Wei Bo entered the palace and beat Zhang Jing, I didn't dare to look at him. Today, I took the opportunity to take a look. Wow! He is really as handsome as pearls and jade as they said." "Then why were you shaking later?" "Later...when Long Wilbur raised his eyebrows, I felt inexplicably scared." "What are you afraid of?" "Stop talking, I have to go change." The lessons were over, and the three siblings left the Jiang family and headed back to the palace. Before he arrived at the palace, a eunuch came to summon him. "His Majesty has summoned you." "Am I included?" Zhu Shou'an asked. The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty said to let them all come." Zhu Shou'an was very happy. Emperor Jiajing had just gotten up and was talking to a few Taoists. "Father." Emperor Jiajing turned around and saw that it was three children, so he said to the Taoists, "It's the end of the year, and we need to hurry up and prepare for all kinds of sacrifices." A Taoist looked at the three princes and princesses and asked, "Your Majesty, who should we contact for this matter?" "Zhu Xizhong and Cui Yuan." They were old partners and old enemies, and they often performed sacrifices on behalf of Emperor Jiajing. "Yes." A few Taoists left, and someone was heard saying, "...their spirit and energy look different..." "…The princess… has been reborn…" Emperor Jiajing stood with his hands behind his back, watching the three children approach and salute, and asked, "It's cold outside, what interesting things can you see outside?" He lived in Xiyuan for a long time, and his understanding of the outside world was almost entirely dependent on the reports from his attendants and the Embroidered Uniform Guards. "Father, I saw those small vendors this morning and they were very pitiful, but the people from the Five Cities Army wanted to drive them away. Fortunately, my uncle helped, otherwise they would have nowhere to earn money to eat." Zhu Shoumei took the opportunity to file a complaint. "Oh!" Emperor Jiajing just said "Oh". "My cousin has taught us a lesson with this," King Jing said. "Talk about it." Prince Jing began to repeat it, but his tone was a little discontinuous. Emperor Jiajing understood the meaning but was somewhat dissatisfied. "Fourth brother, that's not what my cousin said here." Zhu Shou'an said.
"Do you remember?" asked King Jing. "Well!" Zhu Shou'an said, "My cousin said that after all, only if the dynasty continues can their children and grandchildren continue to be rich and prosperous. No one would go against the future of their own family. Therefore, the biggest reason why they ignore the crisis of the dynasty is incompetence!" Zhu Shou'an spoke very fluently, as if she had recited it countless times. Exactly! Even the pauses were spot on. Emperor Jiajing let out a light exclamation, and Huang Jin came to ask whether it was time to eat. "Have a meal!" The four of them had dinner together. After dinner, as they watched the children leave, Emperor Jiajing asked, "How is Xu Jie doing?" "Says he was speaking plainly to Long Wilbur." "Xu Jie is a smart man. He knows that Qingzhi will not delay official business because of grudges. Smart man..." Emperor Jiajing took a sip of tea, his eyes inexplicably dark, "Smart is good." "Also, Chang Wei Bo mentioned the Royal Guards when he was talking about this matter, saying that the Royal Guards must cooperate in this matter, and he plans to discuss it with Lu Bing." "A secret spy thing?" "Yes." "Lu Bing." Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes and said after a long while, "My milk brother is also a smart man. I think Xu Jie may not be as smart as him. But don't let your smartness lead you astray." The Taoist priest glanced at Huang Jin, who felt a heat on his back and lowered his head, knowing that these words had to be kept secret. "Oh, your majesty, someone provoked Lord Changwei today, and Lord Changwei ordered the Tiger Guards and Left Guards to attack. Fifteen of them defeated thirty of that person's men in thirty breaths." Emperor Jiajing remained silent for a long time. "If you want to do something, it will always affect other people's interests, so everything will be difficult. I have been in trouble for decades, but I am stubborn and refuse to give in. Can Qingzhi hold on?" Huang Jin lowered his head and said, "I guess it is possible!" Emperor Jiajing thought of Lu Bing, his foster brother who was loyal but cunning. …… "Commander, Jiang Qingzhi has sent someone here. He said he has something to discuss." Lu Bing played with his ring and said, "Let him come." Mo Zhan strode into the lobby, and the Jinyiwei officials on both sides sneered. "Greetings, Commander Lu." Mo Zhan saluted. "My uncle said that he wants to see you for something confidential." "Are you Mo Zhan?" Lu Bing asked. "Yes." Mo Zhan raised his head and looked at Lu Bing indifferently. "You are the best swordsman in Xuanfu, and you have killed three of my best Jinyiwei soldiers." Someone grinned and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will be killed here?" Mo Zhan glanced at the man and said, "If I die here, there will be a few people buried with me."
The man was startled, and Lu Bing said calmly: "Tell your uncle that I will be there on time." Before leaving, Mo Zhan glanced at the man who had spoken harshly earlier, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes from beneath his thick black eyebrows. Want to kill me? After he left, someone said, "Commander-in-chief, this was Jiang Qingzhi who asked us to do this, so we should keep him hanging." "Yes! It's a rare opportunity to control this person, we can't let it go." Listening to his subordinates talking at once, Lu Bing remained silent. That night, Jiang Qingzhi was sitting in a tavern in the east of the city. Lu Bing is here. Only brought two followers. "Do you think I won't come?" Lu Bing said sarcastically when he saw that Jiang Qingzhi had already started eating. "I'm just not used to waiting for people to eat." Jiang Qingzhi, who has been a single dog in his past and present lives, really doesn't have this habit. Lu Bing sat down, "Your subordinate Mo Zhan killed three of my best fighters, why do you think I would come?" "Everyone has two faces, one evil and one good." Jiang Qingzhi said, "I bet on you, good!" Lu Bing raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling with fire in the candlelight. (End of this chapter)
