The concubine is so charming

Chapter 814 I Protect You
At the beginning when they learned that the salt boat had sunk in the south of the Yangtze River, the people in the capital also panicked for a while, but then the emperor summoned officials to collect surplus salt from various places, and the salt price gradually stabilized and even dropped a little. , They put their hearts back in their stomachs.

After all, the people in the capital can be considered to have experienced catastrophe.

Back then, in the late period of Emperor Deyuan's reign, officials did not act, and natural disasters continued, even the capital under the emperor's feet would have to go outside to eat tree bark for a while.

Later, there was a coup d'état and the throne was changed. After Mu Cixiu came to the throne, he thought the situation would improve, but he didn't expect that the emperor didn't love the country and beautiful people, and the whole capital was still full of smog. I want to drag the whole Daan Dynasty into the abyss.

Fortunately, the emperor, assisted by the eldest princess and the king, finally turned the tide and pulled the people of the entire Da'an Dynasty back from the edge of the abyss.

In the past few years, the Da'an Dynasty has gradually recovered its vitality, the people's life is stable, and the politics are clearer than before.Now it's just that two salt ships have sunk, and the price of salt has risen a little bit. If you want to buy it, you can still buy it. In the end, it is regarded as a false alarm by the people.

The imperial army cleared the street, and the people were blocked on both sides of the road. Because there were too many people, it seemed quite crowded, but the people didn't care at all, and looked at the end of the road happily, with bright eyes.

There was a sound of silent whips, and Emperor Luanjia slowly appeared.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The loud sound of worship attracted Mu Qingchen to look at the people on the street, with a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

Meng Rou sat beside him rather awkwardly, feeling her heart pounding, as if her whole body was set on fire: "Your Majesty, is it too inappropriate for me to do this?"

"I allowed it, what's inappropriate?"

"But even if I'm a concubine, I'm not qualified to ride with the emperor in the imperial concubine. If my parents find out about this, they will definitely be taken back and beaten."

"You are thinking wrong. The Minister of Rites and his wife will pay homage to you when they see you. They will never dare to beat you."

Hearing this, Meng Rou's expression became more and more awkward: "This rule is really troublesome. From now on, I should see my father and mother less often. They are my elders. If they come to visit me, I always feel that I Extremely disrespectful."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. If you don't want to change it, you are the biggest in the harem."

Meng Rou hurriedly shook her head, the refusal in her eyes was very obvious: "Your Majesty, you can't talk nonsense, in the future you will have a queen, and there will be imperial concubines, noble concubines, if this word spreads, it will be a disaster." How long, I'm afraid I will be regarded as a thorn in the side, get rid of it soon."

Mu Qingchen glanced at her with a smile, and didn't make any more promises. Now she is only a concubine, which already made her fearful. If she promises more, it may not be joy, but pressure.

The sound of paying homage to the emperor outside became louder and louder. Meng Rou raised her hand to cover her chest, and felt that her entire chest was resonating with the people's homage: "Your Majesty, everyone thinks you are a good emperor, so the people kneel down to worship you." Only then will it be so sincere.”

"Why are you so similar to those flattering officials in the court today?" Mu Qingchen laughed.

"I'm telling the truth, not flattery. My father is a veteran minister in the court. Although I am young, I have heard a lot from him and compared it, so I know how rare the current emperor is." What Meng Rou said was sincere.

Mu Qingchen glanced past the excited crowd outside: "At first I was also worried that I would not be able to take on the heavy responsibility of being an emperor. At that time, my sister told me that the life that the common people demand is actually very simple. As long as they have enough to eat, they will It is enough to satisfy them; if they have enough to eat and have money in their hands, then they will be happy; if they have enough to eat and have money in their hands, and they can support their children to study and progress, then I can become people's praise through the ages Mingjun."

Meng Rou thought about it carefully, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes: "The eldest princess's words are always extraordinarily concise and incisive, and it is often deafening to the ears."

"Yeah, I've been able to make it this far thanks to my sister. Now I'm just feeding the common people, and I don't know if I can become a wise king praised by people in my lifetime."

"The emperor will be fine!"

"Then you have to watch carefully, don't let me go astray, after all, you are my mirror."

"Yes!" Meng Rou agreed with great enthusiasm.

Mu Qingchen smiled lightly, and warned: "There should be some small troubles on the way to sacrifice to heaven later, you just need to be steady and watch the show on the sidelines, don't be frightened."

"Little trouble?" Meng Rou was startled, "Your Majesty, did someone from the Huhe Tribe make a move in the capital? They wanted to make the capital chaotic before, but the Emperor suppressed it, so they didn't succeed for a long time. But they Why did you choose today, today there are guards guarding the whole process, so could it be that they have so many people that they can break through the guards of the guards?"

"A lot of things are like governing a river. Blocking is worse than dredging. I told the imperial army to cooperate with a play to make the noise louder, so that the people in the capital would know that someone deliberately disturbed the water, so that there would be no more rumors." When it comes out, they are somewhat defensive and will not be easily agitated by others."

"No!" Meng Rou objected solemnly, "The Imperial Army guards the emperor's safety, how can you let others get close at will? Think about the leader Huhe, who is strong in martial arts and burly, isn't he still in the hunt for Huhe's picture?" Waiting for people's calculations? It can be seen that sometimes no matter how powerful a person is, they can't resist conspiracy and tricks. You are the emperor and the backbone of the people in the world, so you must not put yourself in danger."

Mu Qingchen chuckled, "Your tone of voice is very similar to that of the Minister of Rites."

"Your Majesty, don't change the subject. Is it too late to order the Imperial Army to change their plans?"

"I'm afraid it's too late."

While speaking, Emperor Yuxuan had already arrived at the gate of the city, and at this moment, there was a commotion.

"The emperor! We want to see the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, let us go there. As an emperor, don't you decide for the people?"

"We can't live any longer. If the emperor doesn't uphold justice, we will be smashed to death on the city wall today!"

Hearing the noise, Meng Rou subconsciously stood in front of Mu Qingchen with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I will protect you."

The forbidden army had received the emperor's order a long time ago, and at this time they pretended to be incapable of defending, allowing more than a dozen civilians to rush over and stop in front of the emperor's chariot.

The guards surrounded the common people, the spears in their hands shone coldly.

Mu Qingchen patted Meng Rou's arm lightly, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's fine."
