Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 33: ：”Slaying the Dragon”

The man in black was unwilling and wanted to persuade him: "Young Master..."

"Uncle Chen, an evil dragon stretched out its claws and killed a person. Do you think it is the evil dragon itself that is guilty, or the claws that killed the person?"

Zhou Linghuai lowered his head to flip through the book in his hand. His side face was pale and thin, with a heartbreaking sick look and an indescribable handsomeness and dignity. His long eyelashes cast an obscure light shadow under his eyes. It’s elusive.

Uncle Chen's expression became complicated and unspeakable. He clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand. The veins on the back of his hand throbbed and the knuckles of his five fingers turned white.

"Just because the attack is a claw of the evil dragon, so cutting off one of the dragon's claws is considered revenge? You kill people with your right hand, and I cut off your right hand. Is this considered revenge?" There was a hint of coldness on his lips, Xie Si, the ink-like eyes were filled with darkness: "I don't think so, it is only right to kill someone to pay for their life."

The Chinese character "Killing must be punished with life", licking the tip of his tongue and chewing it slowly in his mouth, made people feel frightened.

A calm voice came from the top of the head, as calm as a deep pool, but it seemed that a raging undercurrent was brewing. The man in black suddenly raised his head, and the word "dragon slaying" suddenly appeared in his mind, with shock and astonishment in his eyes. , complex, exciting and various emotions.

Zhou Linghuai asked quietly: "What do you think?"

The man in black tried hard to calm down the shock in his heart, and quickly analyzed the situation in his mind: "Since the sudden change in Youzhou three years ago, the situation in the court has become increasingly tense. The emperor is addicted to alchemy and does not come to court often. The government was controlled by the cabinet, Weining Hou and other noble courtiers. The courtiers formed cliques for personal gain, enriched their own pockets, were corrupt and perverted the law. The nobles were unscrupulous and arrogant, and the vassal kings everywhere were ready to take action."

When he said this, he paused for a moment and looked up at the young master. He saw that the young master was holding a scroll in his hand and seemed not to have heard what he said.

But he knew that the young master was listening.

"Cangzhou, Yunzhou, and Liangzhou were not very stable. Dongyi, Xirong, and Nanman invaded the borders of the Zhou Dynasty and fought repeatedly with the vassal kings who guarded the three states. Whenever there was damage, the vassal kings of the three places complained endlessly and went to court many times. I sent a message to the Emperor Ming, asking the Emperor to send troops to help."

“I heard that years ago, King Ping of Liangzhou came to Beijing under the imperial edict. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he cried with runny nose and tears. He said that Liangzhou was bitterly cold and could not even collect taxes. Every year, there were countless wars and wars. Count, war requires money, food, and soldiers. The officers and soldiers in his army have not changed their armor for three years, so they ask the emperor for money and food."

When mentioning this, the man in black seemed to have a disdainful tone. The vassal king was so dignified and had a lot of troops, but he didn't even want to show his face.

"Do you think they are crying about poverty?" Zhou Linghuai chuckled at the corner of his mouth and gently closed the book: "They are crying for their lives. Whoever cries the most ugly, most shameless, and most useless will be the most annoying. Don't worry, they won't follow in the footsteps of King You. They are smart, they have fought wars, suffered injuries, and are still poor. This kind of vassal land is what some people most want to see." Zhou Linghuai's tone was full of sarcasm.

The man in black was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood what the young master meant.

The vassal kings of the four states guarded the borders of the Zhou Dynasty for the purpose of guarding the territory. It was necessary to exist only if there were wars. If there were injuries and poverty, the court would not worry about the vassal kings stationing troops to respect themselves.

And King You guards the northern border and is at war with Beidi all the year round. It is the most bitter and cold place in the four states.

Beidi is a large tribe. The Di people are all tall and powerful, good at riding, shooting, and fighting. Every autumn, they go to the border towns to burn, kill and loot. King You who guards Youzhou has no choice but to station a large number of troops. Unexpectedly ……

Zhou Linghuai narrowed his eyes slightly: "To be able to let go of his dignity and even his face means that he has a plan, and his plan is so big that it is not even worth mentioning his dignity, and he can even lose himself. Let’s get back our dignity twice as much.”

The man in black breathed hard: "Young Master, you mean, Prince Ping..."

Zhou Linghuai interrupted him with a cold voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Liangzhou."

"Yes!"

Yu Youyao left quickly with Chunxiao and Dongmei. She couldn't help but think that the man in black called his cousin "Young Master" and was very respectful to his cousin, unlike ordinary domestic servants.

Cousin, he seems very mysterious?

And my cousin also mentioned Weininghou Mansion.

In recent days, she has also gained some knowledge about various mansions in Beijing. The most talked about thing about Weininghou Mansion is that an imperial concubine was born in the family.

This concubine of Emperor Lu was given the title of concubine while the emperor was still in hiding. From then on, she continued to be favored and favored all the way to the harem, and her favor has not declined to this day.

Because the empress was ill, Concubine Lu was in charge of Fengyin in the harem. Concubine Lu was also responsible for all affairs in the palace. Concubine Lu was the one who covered the sky in the harem.

As a relative, the Weining Hou Mansion is also the most prominent family in Beijing, and is far beyond the comparison of the Yu Mansion.

Yu Youyao vaguely realized that she might have accidentally uncovered a shocking secret about her cousin? !

My cousin suddenly came to Beijing and moved into the Yu Mansion. It would definitely not be as simple as joining relatives.

After Chunxiao saw the lady come back, she held a flower branch in her hand, pursed her lips and said nothing. She kept walking back with her head down, a little strange: "Miss~IndoMTL.com~Why did you run to the back of the rockery just now, slave? I can’t even see you anymore.”

She and Dongmei were so frightened that they almost lost their minds when they saw no sign of the young lady. Fortunately, the young lady came back in time.

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, Yu Youyao was still a little frightened: "The flowers on the back of the rockery bloom more beautifully."

Chunxiao said quickly: "The outside is not as good as the house. Miss, you won't be able to do this in the future."

Yu Youyao nodded absently, not daring to walk around anymore, and returned to the side room. After sitting for a while, she felt that the room was a little stuffy, so she led Chunxiao and Dongmei to the Zen room.

Along the way, there are strange rocks, stacked mountains, and clear water, which exudes a tranquil atmosphere. The ground is covered with patterned bluestone bricks, and evergreen bodhi trees are planted on both sides.

Not long after, Yu Youyao heard the sound of chanting sutras not far away. When the Zen room arrived, Qing Xiu, who was guarding outside, came up to him and led Yu Youyao into one of the Zen rooms.

The room is not big. There are only tables and chairs inside, making it very empty. The four-legged Boshan incense burner exudes the fragrance of sandalwood. The maids and mothers-in-law are standing on both sides with their hands down. Old Madam Yu is half leaning on the purple brocade with the Chinese character "Yuanshou". Lead pillow.

On the other side, there is an old woman with a round face sitting. She is wearing a dark blue embroidered gold five-bat pattern jacket. She wears an emerald on her head to wipe her forehead. Her hair is already more than half gray. She looks older than her grandmother. Be older.

Yu Youyao realized that this old woman was Mrs. Song, the old feudal lord of Zhenguo Hou Mansion, and her grandmother's best friend during her childhood. She respectfully stepped forward to say hello.

Mrs. Song called Yu Youyao to her side and held her hand: "During the Chinese New Year, I remember that Yaoyao was wearing a red pomegranate flower skirt, her round body looked full of joy," she said She couldn't help laughing: "It's been less than a month and she has become a big girl. I remember Yaoyao will not be ten until two months."
