palm order

"Aren't you stupid?! Are you stupid?!"

Xiao You slapped herself hard on the cheek twice, and the slaps were loud.

It's like being drawn on the faces of the heads of various families.

"I'm also an idiot. I was persuaded by you. I should have known His Royal Highness Prince Jing... He doesn't even care about his own life. Would he care about the lives of the people in the south?"

At that time, Xiao You felt that it was inappropriate to be cold and cold to Prince Jing. He grew up next to Xiao Shoufu, and almost grew up with Mu Yang.

Of course, he can only watch Mu Yang step by step, even if he falls down and is trampled on, Mu Yang will go up until he reaches the position that everyone looks up to.

The person who once bullied and despised Mu Yang is either dead or kneeling humbly at his feet.

Xiao You was one of the few people of the same age who didn't offend King Jing at the end of his life, and he was also one of the few people who didn't blame Mu Yang for being a waste after Mu Yang lost his power.

He even saw with his own eyes that Prince Jing was unstoppable, becoming an invincible general who could still be invincible on the battlefield without relying on the emperor and the Yang family.

Prince Jing is a legend of their generation, even his uncle Xiao Shoufu said that there was a huge gap between Prince Jing and him.

However, as Prince Jing's peers, he has seen the glory of Prince Jing, and he can see the madness in Prince Jing's bones - he doesn't care about the lives of the common people, and he doesn't care about his own life.

Others have the mind to take the common people as their own responsibility, but Prince Jing does not have half of this awareness, resisting the barbarians is just because he wants to do so, and he doesn't care about the lives of the people.

Xiao You never said this to anyone.

After he saw Prince Jing getting married, Xiao You felt that Prince Jing really respected life, and he didn't want to die, and wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous world for Princess Jing.

Therefore, Xiao You judged that Prince Jing would not be angry because the patriarchs of the aristocratic clan knelt down a few days late.

"You are smart, why do you think you know Prince Jing? He is someone you, an ordinary person, can guess?"

Xiao You laughed at himself, with regret on his face, "I don't know what you are waiting for, I'm going to plead guilty to His Highness Prince Jing."

After finishing speaking, Xiao You strode out.

King Jing is not afraid of Jinshui City blood flowing into rivers, no, it is King Jing who is not afraid of bombarding Jinshui City.

He was afraid... He couldn't predict how much Jinshui City would suffer once King Jing ordered the cannons to be fired.

King Jing had informed in advance that not many people might die, but Jinshui City was covered by artillery fire, and the centuries-old buildings were burned down, leaving many people homeless.

He—he is a sinner.

Originally, he was going to bow his head and surrender in front of King Jing.

"Nephew Xiao Xian, wait a minute, you mean Prince Jing...His Highness Prince Jing will really attack the city with artillery? Didn't you mean to scare us?"

"Uncle Qi can continue to wait and see if the shells will fall on the Qi family's main house.

According to Prince Jing's habit, he dared to point his artillery at Jinshui City, and the accuracy of the artillery could not be said to be accurate to the room, it could be said that King Jing pointed his finger at it.

The ancestral house of the Qi family, um, your main house occupies a large area and is easy to hit. By the way, let you know how powerful the artillery is—how ridiculous it is to gain face in front of King Jing.

"My Xiao family's ancestral home is dedicated to the ancestors of the past generations. As a descendant of the Xiao family, I would never dare to surprise my ancestors. I saw the ancestral hall being destroyed."

"But, but, we took a step back and knelt down to welcome King Jing into the city. We dare not disobey King Jing's orders in the future. Aren't all our plans in vain?
We can take off our face and be trampled on by King Jing, but the inheritance of our ancestors cannot just be handed over. "

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family was also terrified by Prince Jing,

However, he felt that he still had to struggle a few times, and united with the rest of the families to continue the stalemate.

It's also good to give him a chance to kneel down calmly.

Back then, he persuaded the family destroyed by the emperor to keep his integrity, so he secretly sent his wife to the emperor's bed...

Sending his wife to the emperor's bed, he didn't feel ashamed and conspicuous, but he used his wife's body to preserve the Zhao family's foundation and the lives of his children and relatives.

Even after being rewarded by the emperor, he felt that all sacrifices were worthwhile.

Enduring humiliation and stealing life is only for the great cause, isn't it just for revenge that he subsidized Shengzhu and others?
He has always wanted to get back the lost dignity.

In the past few years, I thought he was doing it again, and saw the hope of fighting the emperor.

King Jing went south to join the domain, and King Jing's domineering attitude once again made him panic and was once again shrouded in dark clouds.

He wanted to kneel down again.

After all, after kneeling once, it's not that difficult to kneel again.

Prince Jing may not be as lustful as the emperor, even though his daughters and granddaughters are carefully raised, can they please Prince Jing just like his wife?
With his back to the crowd, Xiao You said slowly, "I don't know if His Highness Prince Jing will enjoy the extravagance and indulgence as you plan after entering the city.

I only know that if I don't go to make an apology now, His Highness Prince Jing's anger will not dissipate, and the main house will not be kept. "

"Patriarch, Patriarch, someone from His Royal Highness Prince Jing has sent a message, give me another quarter of an hour."

As soon as the voice of the entourage at the gate fell, the people gathered outside the gate of the mansion cried and begged loudly.

It was nothing more than letting the principals of several great families welcome King Jing into the city.

The people want to live.

They don't understand the persistence of the various Patriarchs, they only remember that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is invincible.

Back then, King Jing led people to destroy the elites of the Southern Dynasty, and the natural dangers could not stop King Jing.

I also remember that after King Jing entered the city, he only punished the culprits, allowed them to preserve their property, and gave them a chance to continue to live.

The emperor and the warriors did a lot of outrageous things in the Southern Dynasties.

Only His Highness Prince Jing did not oppress them too much.

Wu Xun went too far, King Jing imposed military law on Wu Xun, forcing the emperor to restrain himself a bit, and ordered that ordinary people should not be harassed and plundered.

"Did you hear that? The hearts of the people are already on Prince Jing's side. We can't let Prince Jing enter the city. Do you believe that the people will rush in in droves without waiting for Prince Jing to dispatch troops?
In the past, they respected the gentry, and they respected us in order to survive and live better.

Once we prevent them from continuing to live, they will not let us live.

The honor and noble blood of the ancestors cannot stop the people who are crazy for their lives! "

With a lonely figure, Xiao You sneered and said, "It's really ridiculous for us to operate as fiercely as a tiger, and Prince Jing would turn into shit in a rage.

Hahaha, no wonder, no wonder, my uncle said, it doesn't matter how I discuss strategies, because His Highness Prince Jing has always been the one who takes the initiative! "

The fat body of the Patriarch of the Wu family nimbly bypassed the people around him, and trot to Xiao You:
"Eldest nephew knows Prince Jing, otherwise Xiao Shoufu wouldn't have sent you over. Uncle accompanied eldest nephew to visit Prince Jing.

Don't worry, big nephew, uncle will do whatever you want.

Absolutely not to annoy His Royal Highness Prince Jing, nor to embarrass the eldest nephew. "

His fat palm grabbed Xiao You's arm, "Let's go, let's go, they don't believe you, uncle believes in your judgment, isn't it just to please His Royal Highness Prince Jing?

This thing is familiar, in fact, we are all familiar with it...

Uncle must find a posture that satisfies Prince Jing and kneel down. "

Xiao You wanted to laugh but couldn't, "Uncle?!"

"I'm a few years younger than your father." Patriarch Wu's eyes flashed with sarcasm and sentimentality, "In order not to be ashamed to live, Prince Jing is not someone who abuses others hard.

Back then, you had never experienced the destruction of the country in the Southern Dynasties. The emperor's old brothers, the extravagant and lustful warriors, were all very good at humiliating others.

In the past, they were fed up with the oppression and bullying of the nobles. Once they gained power, their methods were compared to animals, saying that animals even flattered them. "

"Uncle...you..."

"I thought of some past events, but the group of people who bullied us the hardest didn't end well.

We can't take revenge face to face, but we can take revenge with the emperor's knife. "

The Patriarch of the Wu family dragged Xiao You to run, the fat on his face trembled from running, thump, thud, his steps were very heavy, after all, the weight of his body was there.

However, his breathing was surprisingly steady:
"In the past, I used to be unrestrained and unrestrained. The girls all praised me for being handsome, otherwise I would not have a beautiful daughter. Since then, I have been so hungry that I always feel that I can't eat enough. I have gained weight over the past few years. .

Some unpleasant memories, people who were tortured to death... are always hard to forget, so I like to go to places with many people to listen to gossip.

I am polite to people of the highest and lowest grades, and I am called a disgrace to the gentry by them.

I have suffered the losses of the past, so I am not sure whether the people in the market will suddenly turn around.

Only food can bring me happiness, and only a treasury full of silver can bring me a sense of security.

Because the next time the city slopes, I can pay for my life with money, and because I am fat, I can persist for a few days longer than others. "

"Eldest nephew, uncle doesn't want to die."

Xiao You's heart was sour, and the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

The Patriarch of the Wu Family suddenly smiled and patted Xiao You on the shoulder, and asked mysteriously, "Does the elder nephew think that uncle can win the trust of Princess Jing?

Uncle said it so pitifully, Princess Jing is not very old, and she is Prince Jing's bride, she should be a sentimental and kind person.

His Highness Prince Jing may be romantic and affectionate in the future, but I think Concubine Jing who can be cared for by him must be a kind woman. "

Xiao You: "..."

"The pier is coming soon. Look, the common people are never stupid. They know better than us how to please Prince Jing and survive."

The Patriarch of the Wu Family took a deep breath, and put away all the sentimental self-deprecating, unconvinced and jokes on his face.

He tidied up his clothes and walked towards the edge of the river with extreme caution and humility.

I wanted to carefully avoid the people kneeling on the bank and kowtowing to the big boat, but someone shouted, "The Patriarch of the Wu family has arrived."

The common people seemed to have found their backbone, seeing clearly that the person who came was a fat man, they dared not call him Fatty Wu again.

But it gave up a road directly leading to the shore, and gave up the closest to the big ship—the prominent place that can be seen at a glance from the big ship.

"Oh, the adults are here too."

When Xiao You saw the officials in Fucheng, the corners of his mouth twitched, he was still talking nonsense yesterday, Prince Jing was just a passing prince.

The emperor's oral orders are not very effective in Jiangnan, they dare not disobey the oral orders, they can try their best to go roundabout.

Even if Prince Jing is a fierce dragon, he has to coil up when he reaches the south of the Yangtze River, so that the local snake will be a little bit thinner.

The governor and prefect had thick skins, as if they couldn't hear Xiao You's ridicule.

"It is my duty to welcome His Highness Prince Jing. Xiao Shoufu urged me to respect His Highness Prince Jing in every possible way. In the past two days, I have been busy preparing tax money, so I delayed welcoming the prince."

Xiao You pursed her lips secretly, the cheap student like Uncle really has the essence of officialdom - as long as I don't feel embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed.

Are thick-skinned people more likely to get promoted?

The Patriarch of the Wu family knelt down directly, not going to count which officials in the yamen in Jinshui City hadn't arrived.

Looking at a group of people wearing official uniforms kneeling in Hei Ya, there must not be many officials who are too courageous.

Several families have controlled the Jiangnan officialdom over the years, feeding the appetite of the officials, as if making the officials use them for them.

When His Highness Prince Jing arrived, they immediately showed their loyalty in front of Prince Jing.

King Jing asked them to take over several companies, and they would not hesitate too much.

Perhaps changing Wei Wang and Zhao Wang would make the officials hesitate, but it was His Royal Highness Prince Jing who came.

The emperor is really lucky, such a good son, why didn't he get it?

No, I heard that Prince Jing also has blood from the Mu family on his body...

The most exaggerated gossip is that King Min seduced the young lady with his handsome and elegant appearance when he was young... After the young lady became pregnant and gave birth, the family felt ashamed and ordered King Jing to be thrown to death.

But the servant was reluctant, secretly put King Jing in the water basin, and floated away along the river.

It took King Min many years to find Prince Jing, and he was unwilling to recognize him. In the end, the emperor accepted Prince Jing as his son.

It was not until King Min had no heirs that the emperor returned King Jing to King Min...

"Uncle, don't you want to say something?" Xiao You touched the arm of the Patriarch of the Wu family with his elbow, and turned his mouth to the side, "Why are you still sneaking around at this time?
Uncle Zhao's head was about to bleed, and the Tian family presented the geomancy map. I really didn't expect that the Southern Dynasty geomancy map, which the emperor could not find anywhere, was finally found by the Tian family and presented today.

Uncle Qi - after all, he is a man who has seen the storm, knelt down and improvised a poem, praising the great achievements of the emperor.

Tsk tsk, they didn't arrive any slower than us, they probably prepared a gift for His Royal Highness Prince Jing long ago. "

The Patriarch of the Wu family didn't look at the performance of the principals, and lowered his head obediently, and said softly: "I expected it a long time ago, the same sentence, it is not shameful to live.

Back then, we never sacrificed our lives for righteousness and perished with the Southern Dynasties.

After another seven or eight years of prosperity, who would be willing to die? "

The lost dignity and loyalty to the Southern Dynasty will never come back, and the secret support of the Southern Dynasty Lord in the past is nothing but a dream.

When they used money to buy themselves a revenge and revenge, they regained their dreams of dignity and dignity.

Even if it is just to cause some confusion between the emperor and Prince Jing, it is not a waste of money invested in it.

"Uncle, back then there were no nobles following the Southern Dynasty..."

"Yes, apart from the few families that were counted by the Zhao family, there are also people who are not afraid of death and buried the Southern Dynasty with their own blood. There are quite a few of them.

The last emperor said that he was not wise to the end, that he was stupid and hopeless, that he was mediocre, and that he still had a bit of talent for governing the country. vitality. "

Patriarch Wu's lips twitched, and his voice was very soft, "If you are wise enough not to subjugate the country, if you are stupid enough not to let the elite generation of the Southern Dynasty die for the country, you don't know the best about the past of the eldest nephew. If you know it, you will feel as distressed as I do."
