My whole family is fleeing

"Is it really okay to waste the experience and financial resources of the country in this way just for personal gain? Isn't he the master of this country? As the master of this country, shouldn't he make the citizens of his country live better? Shouldn't he first Am I any smaller than myself?”

"Most of those beautiful sisters are between fourteen and eighteen years old, which is a good time for marriage. Although I think sisters at this age are still too young, but that's not what the world thinks. If you are lucky, it may only delay you for a year or two. If you are really valued and become a palace maid, you will have to wait until you are 25 before you can leave the palace. But if you enter the palace, your rank will be sealed, and you will not be able to come out in this life! "

"How many decades can a person's life be delayed? And they go to such great lengths just to consolidate their own status. It seems that they have never regarded the people as their own subjects."

Ning Ning is really angry today. She also has sisters. Although her three sisters are still too young and have not reached the standards for the draft, if the old emperor continues to do this, maybe she will wait until her sisters After meeting the age criteria, there will be another draft like this.

We are people who want to be close and affectionate as a family from beginning to end. How can we bear such a separation?

In general, since she doesn't want her sister to go to the draft, other parents, brothers and sisters naturally don't want their relatives to waste their time in the palace.

They were probably deeply touched. Even Magistrate Sun agreed with Ning Ning's words. However, no matter how much they complained at the moment, they could not change the current situation. The only thing they could do was to think of ways to deal with it.

However, it has even been published and has even spread throughout the country. It was impossible to take back the emperor's will, not to mention that he had his own intentions. What's more, everyone knows in their hearts that this draft is mainly to select a concubine for the crown prince. A considerable number of nobles from aristocratic families are quite willing to let their daughters become crown concubines. After all, the emperor's preference for the crown prince is obvious to all. , if you are lucky enough to be a princess, you will most likely go one step further and become a queen in the future.

Who can resist the temptation of the mother of a nation? In today’s queen’s mother’s family, who can resist such temptation? Furthermore, who can resist the temptation of the next emperor's mother's family?

Even if many people know very well that getting involved in such matters such as the change of the throne, it is likely to bring bad results. It can range from losing one's black hat, to property confiscating and annihilating one's family. But in this world, there are many people who are willing to take risks in exchange for huge benefits. Everyone always thinks, what if? What if it succeeds? The rewards if successful are immeasurable!

Therefore, most officials still quite agree and support this draft. As for the voices of the people at the bottom, who cares?

We all got together to discuss it for a long time, but nothing came out. In the end, Ning Ning became discouraged.

"Is there nothing in this world that can stop this draft? I don't believe it. Has there never been such a phenomenon throughout history?"

After hearing this, Mr. Song seemed to have remembered something and paused.

"If you put it that way, there is indeed such a situation. I remember that during the reign of Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty, there was an emperor beauty pageant. The scale was quite large. From the princes and ministers to the common people, all the daughters of the right age were forcibly Demand the draft.”

"At that time, there were indeed people with insight who tried to dissuade them, but Emperor Yangdi at that time did not listen. As a result, on the day before the draft, a strange phenomenon came from the sky, and a sky dog ​​swallowed the sun occurred. The whole court was shocked, and everyone thought this was the case. It was because Emperor Yang at that time did not practice benevolent governance and God was furious and sent a warning specifically."

"Did Yangdi no longer hold drafts later?"

Ning Ning couldn't help but open her eyes wide after hearing such rumors. However, Mr. Song shook his head.

At this time, General Xie also remembered the original rumor, his eyes lit up, and he picked it up.

"Although Yangdi was shocked by this at first, he did not immediately stop the draft. He believed that it was probably just an accident and refused to punish himself."

It turns out that at that time, there were already people who did not agree with the divine right of kings? So what is the outcome of this matter?

"According to unofficial records, a few days later, fire fell from the sky and the palace where Emperor Yang lived was burned down. Although Emperor Yang was desperately rescued by his loyal guards, he had burns on his face. Later generations speculated that the reason why Emperor Yang lived so long was Buyong is also related to this matter."

"Hey! How could there be such a coincidence? That Emperor Yang is really unlucky."

Mr. Song, General Xie, Magistrate Sun, and Wushan all did not expect that Ning Ning's reaction would be like this after hearing about this incident. Could it be that after hearing such magical things, Ning Ning still believed that there were no gods in this world?

Several people looked at each other, and finally Wu Shan asked with a rather gentle expression.

"Ning Ning, after hearing what happened to Emperor Yang just now, didn't you think of other possibilities? For example, that he suffered this disaster because he was punished by God?"

"Ah? But isn't there no god in this world? So it's probably just a coincidence."

Ning Ning didn't think what she blurted out was a big deal at all. After all, this is what the system told her, and she has not seen the existence of gods with her own eyes for so many years.

What's more, when she was on the road to escape, she heard her family and the people she met on the road more than once praying to the gods, but the gods didn't respond at that time. Doesn't this prove that gods don't exist?

Now everyone finally understood. Ning Ning had no reverence for the gods in her heart, but it seemed like it was no big deal, only Wu Shan's expression was a little weird. If we trace back to our roots, our ancestors of the Wu family do have some relationship with those gods. After all, their family is a powerful witch family.

And the ancestors of the first few generations really had some special abilities. It's just that as time went by, the inheritance of their Wu clan also disappeared unknowingly.

To be honest, Wu Shan still feels regretful until now. His biggest wish is to restore the prosperity of the Wu clan. But now, in the entire wizard family, except for him, no one else has a vague connection with nature.

It was impossible not to be disappointed. Although Ning Ning never thought that there were gods in this world, Wu Shan kept all the miracles in her mind. There was even a thought in his mind that if there was anyone in the Wu clan who could recreate the glory of his ancestors, then that person was Ning Ning.
