Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 221 All the people bow their heads, this is what the people want!
At the beginning of the Mao hour, the sky was already bright.

The people in Shangjing City gathered on the streets in the north of the city, filling the alleys with people.

The guards wearing heavy armor stood on both sides of the road to prevent the people from crowding in and making it impossible for the carriages to pass.

"Why haven't they arrived yet? According to the time, His Majesty and the Queen's carriage should be here... Here they are!!"

"Your Majesty! The Empress! I, Wu Fengqi, pay my respects to Your Majesty! I pay my respects to the Empress!!"

"I, Luo Xiang, and my entire family, come to pay respects to Your Majesty and the Queen! Thank you for the food you brought back. You saved the lives of my family!"

"I, Li San, kneel down to thank Your Majesty and the Queen! If it weren't for the Queen's trip to the border and her repeated brilliant plans, my brother wouldn't have died on the battlefield!!"

"I, Zhang Rang, on behalf of the 31 souls of the Zhang family, thank your majesty and the queen! If it weren't for your majesty and the queen's use of the Jinyiwei, the blood feud of my Zhang family would never be avenged!!"

There were constant calls of greetings, mixed with slightly crying voices.

Chen Luo and Zhan Doudou in the carriage felt complicated when they heard the noise.

Those in power should work for the welfare of the people!
Now they truly understand what this sentence means!
"Luo'er, do you think my mother and I did something wrong before?"

"We only want to keep the throne, and we even go so far as to stage a drama of discord to make the civil and military officials take sides, but we never thought about what would happen to the people if we did this!"

"Thinking about it now, the people at that time must have been living in dire straits, right?"

Zhan Doudou leaned on Chen Luo, looking a little sad.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo did not say anything to comfort her, but just patted her shoulder to make her feel better.

He had no way of answering Zhan Doudou's question.

If we look at it from the perspective of ordinary people, what Zhan Doudou did was undoubtedly wrong, extremely wrong!
But from Zhan Doudou's perspective, this is a choice without any alternative!

Zhan Doudou disguised herself as a man and sat on the throne. If she is not careful, she will be easily discovered!

By then, not only Zhan Doudou will die, but even the Queen Mother and the Eldest Princess will be implicated!
There will also be rebel armies appearing in the territory of Northern Qi, taking advantage of this incident to attack Zhan Doudou!
At that time, not only will the throne be in danger, but the lives of Zhan Doudou and her mother and daughter will also be threatened!
The people will also be caught in the chaos of war because of the uprising army!
If that's the case, it would be better to perform that drama, at least it can temporarily delay the ministers!
As long as the fact that Zhan Doudou is a girl can be concealed, no one will use this incident to revolt!
So from Zhan Doudou's perspective, their general approach of self-protection is actually correct!
"Everything in the world has two sides, black and white. Each side has its advantages and disadvantages!"

"Choose the lesser of two evils. This is the right choice!"

"But Doudou, you have to remember that no matter what happens, you actually have more than just two choices in front of you. You have to look for other options and open up another path!"

“Someone once said that the world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray!”

Chen Luo patted Zhan Doudou's shoulder and whispered in her ear.

His voice was very soft, but to Zhan Doudou's ears it was like thunder that resounded through heaven and earth!

At this moment, Zhan Doudou seemed to be unable to hear the noisy kneeling outside, and Chen Luo's words kept echoing in his mind. This world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray!
Indeed, if there are two choices for something, one is black and the other is white!
Whether you choose black or white, they both have their own advantages and disadvantages!
If this choice is difficult to make, it is better to live between black and white!
Just like those ministers, they are able to please both sides and not offend either side!
This may sound a little frustrating, but in many cases it is the best solution!

Dye yourself gray, shuttle between black and white, do not offend each other, and try to find the most advantageous side!
"Your Majesty, Queen, we are almost at the ancestral temple, but there are many civilians gathered in front of us, and the carriage cannot pass. Should we ask the guards to drive them away?"

The respectful report from the Jinyiwei who was driving the carriage could be heard in the carriage.

Chen Luo looked at Zhan Doudou who was still in a daze, raised his eyebrows slightly, gently let Zhan Doudou lean on the couch, then stood up and walked out of the carriage.

The carriage had stopped at this time because there were many people blocking the way ahead!
People often say that when there are tens of thousands of people, at a glance, the sky and the earth are connected!

Chen Luo felt that this statement was not an exaggeration at all!

Back then, outside Duhuwei City, he had seen more than ten thousand cavalry charging, and the scene was truly like the sky and the earth were connected!
Now he saw the scene where the sky and the earth were connected again!
In front of the carriage, there were groups of people kneeling, and at a glance, there was no end in sight, as if there was no end at all!
Many guards wanted to step forward to drive the people away, but were stopped by Chen Luo with a wave of his hand.

"Are you all waiting for me and His Majesty?"

"Or is there something that needs the approval of your Majesty and me?"

"No matter what time it is, please get up quickly, the ground is cold in the morning!"

With the help of his inner strength, Chen Luo's voice was clearly heard by everyone.

Upon hearing this, the people kneeling on the ground immediately raised their heads excitedly. When they saw Chen Luo standing on the shaft of the cart, they all cried with joy.

"We, the common people, pay our respects to the Phoenix Girl of Northern Qi, the inheritor of the literary world, our Queen Mother of Northern Qi!"

"We all know what you have done for Northern Qi, and we will always remember what you have done for our people!"

"Today, we risked our lives to stop the emperor's carriage, not for anything else, but to thank the Queen on behalf of the people of Northern Qi! Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

"We only wish that Northern Qi will prosper, and that the Queen and His Majesty will be blessed with great fortune!!!"

The leading old man said this in a trembling voice, then kowtowed to Chen Luo, his hunched body still shaking.

Not because of fear, but because of excitement and excitement!
Seeing this, the people behind the old man also began to kowtow and shouted in unison:
"We only wish that Northern Qi will prosper, and that the Queen and His Majesty will be blessed with great fortune!!!"

The shouts of more than ten thousand people shook the sky, and the sounds of kowtows were clearly heard!
Zhan Doudou, who was in the carriage, heard the noise and got up and walked out. He saw this scene. He felt mixed emotions and couldn't describe what he felt.

But she knew she felt guilty!
If it weren't for Chen Luo, these people would probably still be living in dire straits, right?

On the second floor of the restaurant, Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo were watching the scene below with complicated emotions.

For the first time, they realized how high Chen Luo's status was in the eyes of the people!
It was also the first time that they truly understood what the people wanted!
Maybe many emperors spent their entire lives trying their best but still failed to make the people treat them like this?
