Chapter 337 Germination ()

There is nothing more beautiful and moving in this world than these words.

Jiang Shaohua was elated when he heard this. He held Cui Du's hand and sighed with a smile: "How could I be able to have you?"

Cui Du responded without thinking: "I am lucky enough to meet the princess." After a pause, he smiled and said: "After this autumn harvest, the princess will not have to worry about food, and can recruit more refugees from the north. , enriching the population of Nanyang County.”

Jiang Shaohua smiled and hummed: "What you said speaks to my heart. That's what I planned."

"There is chaos in the north, and people are starving and suffering. I can't save everyone, but I can at least do my part and save more."

You can also take the opportunity to expand your population and increase your strength, and it will be much easier to recruit troops in the future. It’s a beautiful thing that can be achieved in one fell swoop!

Cui Du suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "Pingzhou is also suffering from drought. How does that man named Tan Sheng support the army and the people?"

Jiang Shaohua looked a little subtle and looked at Cui Du: "Do you really want to know?"

Cui Du tasted what he understood from these words, and his eyes widened in shock: "It can't be what I thought!"

"It's what you think." Jiang Shaohua let out a rare sigh: "Pingzhou has been fighting and has no time to grow food. Half of the rations for the Pingzhou rebel army were stolen, and the other half was dried meat made from human flesh. "

"So, after the coerced people joined the rebel army, they could never look back. They were all determined to rebel with Tan Sheng."

People eating people is no longer a metaphor.

Are people who eat human flesh still considered human?
Cui Du felt extremely nauseous and felt faintly nauseated.

Jiang Shaohua didn't know when to let go of his hand and walked forward slowly.

Cui Du followed her silently.

"On the way back from the capital, I met several waves of refugees. Many of them have eaten human flesh." Jiang Shaohua whispered: "I should get rid of them quickly. But think about it again, When people are extremely hungry, have no food to eat, and can’t find any wild vegetables or leaves, this is the only way they can go if they don’t want to starve to death.”

"What qualifications do I have to blame and scold them? It is obviously the fault of the imperial court. There was no timely relief and food distribution, and there were no follow-up measures."

"My cousin is still a teenager. He has ascended the throne and sat on the dragon's throne. He can't even understand government memorials. Prime Minister Wang, the leader of hundreds of officials, wants to be in sole control of power. The Empress Dowager and An Guo Gong are party to it. , I want to fight against the Prime Minister’s Party, so I have to fight constantly.”

"I have been in court for three months, and I have participated in both major and small court meetings. What I have heard the most is the dispute between the two parties. They have to fight over big things and small things. They have to fight over sending imperial envoys, sending military generals, and spending money. Everything. Want to fight.”

"It is rare to find a minister who works hard at his job."

Speaking of this, Jiang Shaohua became extremely angry. She stopped, and dark flames flashed in her black eyes: "Party fighting can harm the country more than this. If everyone works together, the efficiency of doing things will be several times higher. Government orders can be quickly finalized, uploaded and handed down, and more people can be saved." Many people.”

"They clearly know the truth, but they just refuse to give up. Everyone has their own ideas and selfish desires."

"The imperial court in Daliang is filled with such ministers. What can the emperor do when he is sitting on the dragon throne? I have been watching these all day long, and I am extremely angry."

"However, I am just a Nanyang Princess. I was able to ascend to the court with the help of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, which is the result of the concessions of the ministers. That's all I can do. In addition to donating some grains and seeds, the rest It’s impossible.” “I don’t want to stay in the capital, because it’s so suffocating.”

"I want to go back to my Nanyang County. At least, what I say here is final. I can do my best to twist the hearts of the officials and county magistrates into a rope, and work together to govern Nanyang well and let the people Live and work in peace and contentment.”

Jiang Shaohua has always been calm and calm, but he has almost never been so angry and excited.

It was also the first time for Cui Du to see such a princess.

He stared at her angry crimson cheeks and shining eyes, and suddenly whispered: "Princess Princess, have you ever thought that maybe one day, Princess Princess can stand in a higher position. By then, Princess Princess will It can change everything.”

Jiang Shaohua: "..."

In broad daylight, everything is clear, and everyone is watching.

Cui Du actually said such treacherous words openly, his tone was as simple as telling the princess not to try new dishes for lunch.

With Jiang Shaohua's experience in the city, he was also shocked.

She looked at Cui Du blankly, as if she were meeting him for the first time: "You... do you know what you are talking about!"

"I know." Cui Du said in the same confident and matter-of-fact tone: "I just think that the princess is the most suitable person to sit in that position."

Jiang Shaohua was speechless. After a long while, he reached out and rubbed his forehead: "Remember, you must never say such things again."

As a vassal king, having the ambition to replace the throne is a treasonous intention. Once he acts or reveals it, it will cause great disaster.

Cui Du nodded to express his understanding: "I have written down everything the princess said. I won't say anything in the future."

"Don't even think about it in your mind." Jiang Shaohua glared at him: "Such rebellious thoughts should be driven out of your mind as soon as possible."

Jiang Shaohua's expression was very serious, and he was definitely not joking.

Cui Du suddenly realized something. He was silent for a moment and whispered: "My mother has always been in politics. She has the ability and ambition. In fact, my uncle's family is basically in the political arena. My aunt, my uncle, they They are all very powerful and capable women. Therefore, I am used to seeing women in politics and never thought that women are weaker than men.”

"Princess, I was not joking just now. I respect you and worship you from the bottom of my heart. I think you are better than everyone in the world, whether men or women, they are not as good as you..."

"Stop talking." Jiang Shaohua frowned and interrupted Cui Du: "Daliang is different from your world. The inheritance of the throne is a major event related to the destiny of Daliang. Women do not have the right to inherit. For example, Princess Baohua, she is obviously the eldest daughter, but she only Being able to stay in the harem and being criticized by the ministers for interfering in the affairs of the court means that the emperor relies on trust and is wary. "

"As a woman, I am able to join the court because I inherited the title of my grandfather. I was the powerful princess who was personally appointed by my great-uncle when he was still alive, and my status is the same as that of a vassal king. In the two hundred years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, I am the only one who has never had such a title. precedent."

"I am grateful to my uncle and my grandfather. They gave me the identity and status to stand tall."

"I am also Daliang's most loyal minister, and I have absolutely no ambition to get involved in the throne."
