Troubled Times Survival Raiders

"I have heard that the common people are struggling to eat. Some of them took their wives to the well to die with them; some gathered a crowd to buy and killed each other; Compensator."

"...If people don't take the lead, they won't follow; if they don't take the lead, they won't believe. If your majesty can bow down to frugality, show the wind to the four directions, and make clothes and meals without overflowing the old rules, please start by yourself; brocade, jewels and jade are not allowed In vain, please start from the harem, and then heaven and earth will respond."

In the early morning, a booklet suddenly caused a storm.

The remonstrance papers are sent up in a large stack every day, and then returned intact.There is no other reason for the storm this time, but because the one who drafted it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had just been registered.

This memorial was written with eloquence and deep affection, no matter how you look at it, it was not written by the little prince raised in the deep palace.However, this His Highness has just returned to the palace, and he has neither appointed teachers nor trusted officials. If it is said to be a ghostwriter, it must be from his own will.

Soon there was news from the inner palace that His Royal Highness felt that the meal was too luxurious, so he ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reduce his share, and the money saved could be returned to the national treasury.

This pushed the storm to its highest point.All the officials were a little excited. Although the prince was young, he was similar to his elder brother and looked like a wise king.

Whether it's for show or buying fame, the most important thing is to have this heart and benefit the people.

Emperor Jianning was leaning on the dragon chair vacantly, staring into the distance with his eyes empty. It seemed that none of the noise of the officials had entered his ears, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Although Wu Junyi had been formally registered as the crown prince, he did not appear in the early court due to his young age. The closest to the emperor was Jia Shengde, prime minister Jia, who had been in the first rank for more than ten years and was the head of all the officials.

Seeing that Emperor Jianning seemed tired, Jia Shengde stood up and moved forward, ending the debate among the officials, "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Views on the prince's act of writing a letter.

Emperor Jianning raised his head as if awakened by him, and said vaguely, "Well, not bad."

Jia Shengde was fine, and many officials behind him looked slightly disappointed.I thought that the prince's move would touch the emperor Nilin.I didn't expect such a vague answer, it was obvious that I didn't want to have an attack.

"What do you think His Majesty should do?" Jia Shengde asked calmly.

Suspicions and places do not arise in a moment, the prince is still young, they still have plenty of time.

"The prince is interested, so let's do as he said. I, the harem, and the prince will get half of each meal." Emperor Jianning replied nonchalantly, "What do you think, my lords?"

The harem of Emperor Jianning is not crowded. The concubine De, who was brought back all the way from the north, is the old man of Emperor Jianning in the palace. He is no longer favored and has no children, but he is respected because of his illustrious family background. .She has always had a weak personality and never took the initiative to express her position.Xu Zhaoyi is the birth mother of Prince Duanren, and she has a kind of affection with the current Crown Prince. A mother is more valuable than a son, but the emperor respects her.The next few beauties and talents, although they are favored, have a low status, and as for the new imperial concubine Cai Nu, they are not worth mentioning.In this way, in the harem, there is no one who dares to sing against the prince.

At the beginning, the ministers focused on the prince's admonition, but ignored the last few sentences of the memorial: Please start from the harem, and then heaven and earth will respond.

Heaven and earth respond, who should respond in the first step?

Jia Shengde's eyelids also twitched, and then he replied quickly and steadily: "Your Majesty and His Highness will definitely follow the example of your Majesty and His Highness, save money and care for the common people."

Emperor Jianning smiled with satisfaction. "The prince understands the people's sentiments and has made meritorious service. I will reward two newly acquired copybooks and two scrolls."

Director Gao delivered a decree loudly, extolling the merits of the prince to Miyagi.

"How?" Wu Junyi brushed the pages of the book with his fingertips, but his mind was already in a mess.

Before the emperor pointed him to his husband, he took out the books from Wenyuan Pavilion and looked through them. Except for the scriptures, most of them were history books of the previous dynasty.The more he watched, the more frightened he felt.Now Daqi has internal and external troubles, and the people are in dire straits, which is exactly the same as the records in the history books before the country's subjugation.Is it really to such a point?Brother Huang's worried brows from before, and the scene of arguing with his father could be vaguely seen, and Wu Junyi's heart seemed to be soaked in an ice bucket for a moment.

Li Qi smiled all over his face, "Is there anything wrong with what your Highness said? Your Majesty agreed immediately, and also praised you for understanding the people's sentiments, and the person who will reward you will come soon!"

Wu Junyi thought that he had achieved a great event, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud. He immediately threw away the book, waved his fist in the air, and walked around the hall.The dark clouds over my heart dissipated in an instant.

After all, his father is different from tyrants like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, and cowards like Ziying and Xiandi.His father is gentle and elegant, and he listens to advice. He must have been deceived by villains. Once he wakes up, he can repel foreign enemies and quell the rebellion.

Sure enough, as Li Qi said, Director Gao will be here soon.When accepting the reward, Wu Junyi was also happy, and exchanged a few words of greeting, which gave Director Gao enough face, and specially unfolded the scroll, and praised him a few words.

None of the painters and servants in the palace academy has bad writing skills.Wu Junyi couldn't help but think of the guy who gave him a headache just looking at it, and wondered what was going on with him now.

Now that he had thought of it, he inquired: "Gao Gonggong, I used to take care of my family in Xiangzhou, the Shen family, do you have any letter?"

Manager Gao frowned slightly. He didn't expect His Royal Highness to still miss that family, but since the Crown Prince wanted to know, and it was a trivial matter, he blurted out: "Slave, I will send someone to inquire. As soon as I have a letter, I will Repay Your Highness."

Wu Junyi nodded, and said pretending to be old-fashioned: "Please worry about it."

Seeing that everything was going well, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and his fingers ran across the soft silk, even the sunlight outside the window was brighter.

Shen Yu found a job for herself - the bookstore next to him asked someone to copy the books for him, and the requirements were not very high, as long as there were no mistakes or omissions, and it was clean and tidy.For Shen Yu, this is killing two birds with one stone. Most of those books are classics, and the fonts have something to figure out. He takes the opportunity to earn money, and he can also practice calligraphy for reading.

He knew that his grandfather was still trying to find out about the academy recently, but he couldn't leave his younger siblings alone.

Moreover, Shen Yu was still thinking about one person, and that person frowned at his handwriting: "Your handwriting has no bones."

If we can meet again, if he can write good handwriting, will Zan Yuan be impressed by him and praise him sincerely?Thinking of this, Shen Yu didn't feel tired after practicing calligraphy.

Facing the books he borrowed from the book store, he hung his wrist to practice two or three inches of regular script. After he was proficient in writing, he copied them in small characters.

He still remembered Wu Junyi's warning, so he spread out the rice paper generously, and pondered over a sentence for a long time before he dared to write.With such excellence, natural progress is rapid.

Of course, there are also disadvantages: there is often a time limit for bookstores to copy copies, and the more he ponders, the more effort he will have to catch up with the progress.After coming and going, Shen Yu spent most of the time in the house every day, and she didn't even go shopping in the capital.

This morning, he followed his father to the grandfather's house to say hello as usual, but after saluting and getting up, he saw Shen Mu frowning at him.Shen Yu didn't understand what he meant, and checked the clothes to make sure there was nothing wrong.But Shen Mu didn't say anything, and let them leave after a few words of advice.

Shen Yu lived in the East Wing, and was about to go back to the house, but was stopped on the corridor. "Brother!"

It's Shen Yue.Shen Yue changed into a bright yellow chest-length skirt, and also grew her hair back, she finally looked like a cute little girl.Shen Yu couldn't help smiling, "Yue Niang, what's the matter?"

Shen Yue slipped over and said bluntly: "Brother, you put in effort to study and practice handwriting. This is self-motivation. No one in the family can stop you, but just now in front of my grandfather, I saw that you stood with your chest in your arms and your head hooked. You don't look good. Grandfather It must have felt inappropriate."

When Shen Yu said that, she suddenly understood the meaning of the frown, and looked down at her hand. Except for the place where the pen was rubbed red, the rest was pale, and the blood vessels were clearly visible.Under the sun, he was slightly dizzy.

"I gave up eating because of choking." When she regained her senses, Shen Yu looked at her sister and thanked her gently and sincerely, "Yue Niang reminded me." It is important to practice calligraphy, but if it is for this

Seeing that he listened to the persuasion, Shen Yue relaxed and laughed, "That's not true, Da Lang is dedicated to learning, if San Lang is like this, then I don't have to worry."

"What's wrong with Saburo?" Shen Yu became concerned when she heard this.

"He often sneaks up to look for me. Third uncle doesn't leave the house when he's at home. He only knows to catch him to study, and keeps his face dark all day long. When he sees third uncle, it's like a mouse seeing a cat." Shen Yue jokingly said.

"Third Uncle..." Shen Yu opened her mouth, feeling powerless.When a wife and child die, it is inevitable that they cannot bear the blow, but do they have to live in grief because of it?

Shen Yue suddenly looked around and lowered her voice, "I overheard mother and aunt say that grandfather wants to find a new third aunt for third uncle."

After she finished speaking, she also realized that she was out of line, blushed and lowered her head, Shen Yu said: "We shouldn't ask about this, I just pretend I didn't hear it, so don't talk nonsense, go quickly."

Shen Yue stuck out her tongue, feeling a little guilty, waved her hands at him, and walked away like a butterfly.After hearing her words, Shen Yu felt a little heavy in her heart for some reason.

At the same time, Wu Junyi who was sitting in his bedroom was also anxious and heavy.For the new year's family banquet, he will get along with the clan kings as the prince for the first time. Can he do well?His father also sent a message, ordering him to compose poems in advance... Wu Junyi was raised by Emperor Jianning's side since he was a child, and it was not difficult to compose a poem, but he was afraid that if he did not perform well...

Li Qi saw that the master was in a bad mood, so he came up to talk about other things to divert his attention: "Your Highness, Eunuch Gao mentioned the slave when he saw the slave, the person you asked about—"

At the end of the sentence, he fell silent.Wu Junyi became ruthless and glared at him, "Damn slave, hurry up and say it!"

Li Qi was scolded, and he dared not to be a fool anymore, so he said honestly: "The Shen family has already arrived in the capital. Eunuch Gao said that it seems that the Shen family boss sold the jade pendant you gave him and bought a house, but...he seems to have nothing left in his family. Wealthy, Shen Weng is privately inquiring about which academies are willing to accept people."
