Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 173

After Zhao Xiyan took Ulan Rongruo out of the palace for an outing, he has been busy with leaving the palace.He felt that he was a hard worker, and he was out to play, but he was worried all day long about the chaos in the government and the people, and he kept explaining to those ministers endlessly.Zhao Xiyan had said early in the court that he was going to take his concubine's micro-clothes private visit to observe the people's sentiments, and indeed many ministers objected when he opened his mouth.But Zhao Xiyan insisted on going, and the money was spent in the emperor's private treasury, and it wasn't a big fanfare, and it wasn't a waste of money, and it only took twelve days, which wasn't too long.The emperor wants to understand the people's sentiments and spend his own money, and no one dares to say more.These ministers were very worried, and they were all terrified, because Zhao Xiyan didn't say where he would go for a private visit.In case their tricks are called by the emperor Weifu private visit, it is estimated that the nine clans will be finished.How could it be that Zhao Xiyan didn't know about the tricky things among the rich and powerful, who were corrupt and perverted the law.When he was King Duan, he also turned a blind eye to these things, but he hated them in his heart.But the state of mind is different after becoming an emperor. Corruption and perverting the law is a thousand-year-old disease of bureaucrats, and there is no way to cure it.Being an official is not greedy for money, not lustful and not fond of fame, so what is the purpose of being an official?Even if Zhao Xiyan was killed, he would not believe that there really is such an upright official who loves nothing but pleading for the people.If there were such an upright official, Zhao Xiyan would suspect that this person had bad intentions.

Originally, Zhao Xiyan only wanted to take the four daughters along with Qi Chen, Qi Rui, Mu Ning, and Ling Han, but not the other concubines, and the other children were too young to travel long distances.But Han Qiuyi wanted to take Qiu Ruyu to Qiushui Villa to relieve his knots, and it was not appropriate for Qichen to go with his biological mother, so Zhao Xiyan had to sell his face and bring Qiu Ruyu to Han Qiuyi.Wu Qingyao has been with Qiu Ruyu these days and explained a lot to her.Zhao Xiyan's injury was known to the three women within a few days, and now the four of them don't want to see Qiu Ruyu together.Zhao Xiyan felt that it would be embarrassing if no one paid attention to Qiu Ruyu on the road. It happened that Wu Qingyao was with her during the days when Qiu Ruyu was recuperating from her injuries.

Xia Shuning was reluctant to part with her two young sons, but after thinking about it, she felt that what Zhao Xiyan said was right, the children were too young to travel long distances.What's more, Zhao Xiyan has repeatedly promised that in the future, Qichao and Qili will be brought out when they are older. She knows that Zhao Xiyan will not break his promise, so she is relieved.She always felt that Zhao Xiyan was going too far, the three children were all of the same mother and father, yet he only loved Mu Ning, and he always treated the two sons so harshly.Qili didn't say anything when she was young, but Qichao could already say everything, and he was so blatantly partial.Zhao Qixu was at the time when he was clinging to Yan Fengjun, and he couldn't bear to ask Yan Fengjun to leave his son for half a month.Yan Fengjun insisted on bringing Qixu, who was over two years old, and agreed to keep Qingchu in the palace, and Zhao Xiyan agreed.Su Qingshu is only a child, and he has never left his mother since he was born, so Su Qingshu is also reluctant.Zhao Xiyan told her for a long time that the child is too young to travel long distances, and the Queen Mother will take good care of it, so she reluctantly agreed to send the child to Xianfu Palace.Ulan Rongruo is also reluctant to have children, but she traveled long distances to Daqi and felt tired every day.If this is the case for adults, let alone a baby who is still in his infancy?Ulan Rongruo generously asked the queen mother to take care of her son.Ulan Rongruo had selfish intentions, these sisters all brought their children, but she didn't, the emperor was hers.Although Qi Rui also calls her mother and concubine, but after all, Qi Rui is so old, she doesn't need to be hugged as long as she takes care of her.Sitting in the palace, the queen mother had a lot of resentment towards the emperor.As an elderly woman, she had to take care of Qi Chao, Qi Li, Qi Yi, Qi Xing, and Qing Chu by herself.Qi Chao was over three years old, but the other four were still young children, and the Queen Mother felt that her head was going to die of pain.But he was extremely happy in his heart, and the emperor finally lived up to her expectations.Now that Zhao Xiyan's heir is prosperous, the mother will no longer urge him to go to any palace, nor force him to favor anyone.

On the day of departure, Su Qingshu hugged Qiyi who was crying, and his heart was about to break.Su Qingshu managed to coax the baby to the nanny, but unexpectedly Qiyi would cry immediately after leaving her mother, and couldn't get rid of her at all.Zhao Xiyan saw that the child was crying so hard that he was about to leave his mother, so he had to let Su Qingshu carry the child and take the nanny with him.A group of people took off the luxurious clothes that symbolized the royal family and changed into casual clothes, very excited.Zhao Xiyan didn't intend to keep a low profile at all, and used twelve carriages alone. Although the carriages were replaced by folk ones, they were still the best among the folks.On the surface, there were only dozens of entourages, but in fact, thousands of guards were used, and there were also troops accompanying them in different costumes.Not only the imperial guards, Qiushui Villa also sent many masters to secretly protect them all the way.With so many women and children with him when he went out this time, Zhao Xiyan was afraid that something might happen, so he was always very cautious in guarding this area.He didn't intend to hide where he had gone from these ministers at all. Instead, he wanted them to know, and he wanted them to be fearful.The emperor went all the way south. In order to cover up those dirty things, they will definitely ask the local officials to pay attention to the emperor. The officials are secretly protecting them all the way. On the contrary, their group is safer and more convenient. It is estimated that they can save a lot. silver.No matter what natural and man-made disasters these years, he, the emperor, has subsidized the national treasury from his private treasury. These corrupt officials still dare to take money. If they don't take the opportunity to squeeze it back, when will they wait?Other emperors' private visits in micro-services are a waste of people and money, and Zhao Xiyan is a waste of officials and money.

A group of people walked on the official road majesticly, attracting the attention of countless people, and even attracting many people to guess who is the noble person sitting in the carriage.Zhao Xiyan hugged Zhao Muning and Xia Shuning and sat in a carriage. The five-year-old Zhao Muning was more excited than Qiushou when he went out for the first time. He was eating fruit in Zhao Xiyan's arms while studying with Zhao Xiyan.The older Zhao Muning grew up, the more he looked like Xia Shuning, both in appearance and temperament, but a little more willful than Xia Shuning.This was completely favored by Zhao Xiyan, wishing she could even pick the moon for her.The group of people left the palace on Zhengchun's day, and they were all in a good mood. Even Qiu Ruyu and Wu Qingyao, who were originally worried, were happy for the beautiful spring day.All the girls wore veils when they got out of the carriage, but just looking at their figures and temperament, they knew that they were not ordinary girls.The common people heard that the attendants called them madam, and seeing such beautiful children, they were very curious about their husbands and sons-in-law.As soon as Zhao Xiyan got off the carriage, the common people saw such an appearance and temperament, no wonder they were able to marry so many beautiful wives and concubines.But these people are puzzled, which of these women is the real wife?All of them have a good temperament, Zhao Xiyan is leading Xia Shuning, but Su Qingshu is a queen with her own demeanor, Yan Fengjun is domineering, and Ulan Rongruo is the most beautiful in public, which makes the people onlookers talk about it.

Before Zhao Xiyan set off, he told all the girls and children that he had to change his address when he went out, and that he could not reveal his identity to the people.Zhao Xiyan is twenty-six this year, so he naturally became a master, and the children naturally became young masters and misses.Women called their wives according to their status, Su Qingshu naturally became the first lady, Qiu Ruyu picked up a bargain and became the fourth lady, Wu Qingyao liked her title of sixth lady very much.Zhao Xiyan repeatedly taught the children not to call father, mother, concubine outside, but to call father and mother, and it took him many times to remember.It's just that Qi Xu always calls wrong, and the child is still young, so it's hard for him.Zhao Linghan stayed in the palace for a long time, and gradually got used to it. She no longer talks about her biological mother, but secretly thinks about it at night.Zhao Linghan is so old, it is not difficult to change Uncle Huang to Uncle.She thought that if she passed by Yizhou, she could go to Uncle Huang to ask for grace, and she could also meet her family, but if she didn't go to Yizhou at all, she had no choice but to die.

The most exciting thing about going out of the palace was these children who had never been out of the palace before, pestering Zhao Xiyan to eat this and that every day.At lunch on the second day, Zhao Xiyan carried Zhao Muning to buy sugar-fried chestnuts.On the way back after buying it, I happened to see two men kicking a disheveled beggar fiercely. The beggar's head had been beaten with blood and he was begging bitterly.

"This beggar is really pitiful. Didn't he just pick up two copper coins, which are only enough to buy a bun. These two gamblers beat him so hard, it's really inhumane, and they didn't steal him."

"Hey! Didn't these two gamblers lose money in the gambling shop just now, and they deliberately took the beggar out of their anger."

"Who says it's not? The old Liu who sells sesame seed cakes lives next door to them. Both brothers are gamblers. They also lost yesterday and went home to beat their wives and children. I heard from old Liu that the man in black beat his wife and daughter's noses out." His mother-in-law couldn’t get up because of the black blood, and he won’t take his mother-in-law and children to see a doctor for gambling.”

After hearing such words and seeing such a scene, Zhao Xiyan saw the beggar begging bitterly, and couldn't help but think of those days, his chest was full of anger.Zhao Xiyan arranged the children well so that they would not see such a bad thing.Zhao Xiyan summoned two attendants, just waved his hands, and the two attendants went to rescue the beggar, and escorted the two rascals to the carriage.Zhao Xiyan took a sip of the tea that Xiangyun handed over, his eyes were full of coldness, and the two rascals were beaten before they could say anything.

"Paws!"

Two followers bound their hands and feet, forced them to kneel under Zhao Xiyan's knees, and slapped their mouths with the hilt of a knife.Within two strokes, their mouths were full of blood, several teeth were missing, and they kept begging for mercy.Zhao Xiyan didn't sympathize with them, but sneered instead.All the girls couldn't believe that this was Zhao Xiyan's behavior. He had always been as gentle as jade, and he maintained a gentleman's demeanor even when he was seizing the heir.Now it's just for a beggar, why did he suddenly change his temperament?Only Xia Shuning knew why Zhao Xiyan behaved like this, and Yan Fengjun also guessed some of it, but he didn't know it.Zhao Xiyan hardly said much, watching the two rogues have all their teeth knocked out.

"Fifty lashes, one lash is quite a lot, keep alive."

The attendant got the order, took out the whip and kept beating the two rascals, and the two rascals were still begging.Zhao Xiyan didn't have any sympathy and kept drinking tea.Except for Yan Fengjun, all the girls were frightened by Zhao Xiyan like this, this was not his style at all.The two rascals passed out by the time they hit twenty lashes, and they poured cold water on them before beating them again.After fifty lashes, the two rascals were already covered in bruises, and there was no good place on their bodies, but Zhao Xiyan wanted to keep alive, so the entourage didn't hit hard.

"Father and mother were born with a pair of feet for walking, but they just like to use them to kick people. Pick up their hamstrings, and they will not go out in the future."

As soon as Zhao Xiyan's words fell to the ground, the two's hamstrings were picked, and then Zhao Xiyan waved his hands and the two scoundrels were dragged away.Zhao Xiyan asked his followers to carry them to the yamen, and asked the local magistrate to heal the injuries of the two, and take care of them later.What the magistrate received was only the prince's decree, not the imperial decree from the emperor, and he was frightened half to death when he saw two bloody men.Zhao Xiyan hadn't smiled all day, and was always absent-minded.Xia Shuning understood his anger, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She couldn't even imagine what kind of gloomy time it was.The other women didn't dare to ask any more questions. The original cheerful atmosphere was swept away, and now the atmosphere is very depressed.
