Chapter 65 Chapter 65 May the world be peaceful and there will be no more tears
The next day.
After various discussions on the matter of Liangzhou Wei, the six special agents were sentenced to death and will be beheaded in public tomorrow to serve as a warning to others.
This should have been the end, but I never thought...
When the people of Liangzhou heard the news, they gathered in front of the military camp to speak up for the Liangzhou Guards and King Anyang.
This reaction was something Shen Rang had not expected.
Yu Shufang returned from his investigation with a few rotten eggs on his body. He said helplessly, "The people at the gate are crying out for justice for the Liangzhou Guards. Seeing we look like we belong to the Central Plains, they started cursing."
Cuicui handed him a clean handkerchief, and Yushu's originally gloomy face turned into a smile in an instant.
Chen Rang saw his useless appearance clearly. He looked up at Su Su and said, "Madam, what do you think we should do?"
"Alejiang once told me that the military power of Liangzhou Guard doesn't depend on this tiger talisman," Susu said, stroking the tiger talisman. "It's always based on the will of the people and the army. If we can't control them, I'm afraid Liangzhou Guard will slip out of our control sooner or later."
"Only when the people support you can it last." Chen Rang sighed deeply. "Let's go out and take a look."
When we arrived at the top of the military camp wall, the scene we saw looking down was even grander than we had imagined.
Xie Heng and Yan Gui had been waiting here for a long time. Yuan Susu, wearing a scarlet cloak, was particularly conspicuous on the devastated city wall.
Most of the people below shouted at the top of their lungs, saying that Yuan Chan was innocent and that the Liangzhou guards were all very good people.
This point is certainly not false in the eyes of ordinary people.
She believed that Yuan Chan and the people of Liangzhou Wei had a lot of feelings for this land, they just differed from them in their political choices and positions.
Therefore, she couldn't force moral principles on them.
"You robbers!!" There was a constant noise from below.
The leading elder raised his cane and pointed at the voice on the city wall, scolding: "You are content to enjoy the peace of the Great Zhou without relying on the Liangzhou Guards? Without the Liangzhou Guards, the Great Zhou would not be as prosperous as it is today!"
"The Liangzhou Guards have certainly made great contributions to protecting the territory of our Great Zhou, but Prince Anyang rebelled, the Liangzhou Guards were plagued by internal strife, and they even attempted to kill the Princess..." Xie Heng said in a resounding voice, "Every single one of these is too numerous to list!"
Yuan Susu looked at the huge crowd below, her eyes firm. "Our Great Zhou has always had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. We will not harm the innocent, but we will never let go of any traitors who attempt to endanger our country and the people of our Great Zhou."
"I understand your fear. Beheading the rebels of Liangzhou Guards will give an explanation to the innocent people they persecuted, and to the thousands of brave and righteous Liangzhou Guards."
"The reputation of Liangzhou Wei and Liangzhou must not be tarnished and despised for nothing because of a few parasites!"
Shen Rang continued, "Her Royal Highness is right. When the imperial court takes over Liangzhou, it will certainly treat everyone in Liangzhou equally, improve the welfare of the people, and promote the unification of the world as soon as possible, so that everyone can be free from the chaos of war."
The people of Liangzhou looked at each other in confusion. They were simply worried that after the imperial court took over Liangzhou, they would neglect them and vent their dissatisfaction on innocent people.
"Who knows whether what you said is true or false? Everyone knows that you people from the Central Plains are the most liars!" someone sneered.
"The people of the Central Plains, like those of Shuobei, have their good and bad sides. For example, you Shuobei may have traitors, but you also have heroes," Yuan Susu retorted. "The tide of events is turning now, and this isn't something you can change with your own ruckus. In a few days, the court will send a general to garrison Liangzhou, and they won't be as easy to talk to as we are today."
They looked at each other and finally complied.
Shen Rang took Su Su's hand and wanted to help her go down: "The wind on the city wall is too strong. You are not feeling well today. Let's go back early."
Yuan Susu's face turned pale due to the pain from her period.
She shook her head and said to Xie Heng, "General Xie, please have all the Liangzhou guards come out and receive training."
Xie Heng nodded: "Yes."
Seeing how easily Susu handled affairs gave Yan Gui a new impression of the eldest princess, who had a very bad reputation.
She is not as cruel as the rumors say, but she has been considerate in her actions these days. She is ruthless like others but also merciful like no one in a higher position.
Yan Gui inexplicably admired Su Su and couldn't help but think of what her father had told her about the Chaowumen mutiny.
If Yuan Jiyin were a man, his throne would definitely be more stable than Yuan Che's.
It's a pity that she could only be the eldest princess who ruled the country behind the scenes for three years and was at the peak of her power.
After one stick of incense, the Liangzhou guards were assembled.
Compared with the Liangzhou Guards when Hesheli was training troops, their morale was much lower.
Yuan Susu looked at the big dragon that was once so powerful but now seemed to be dying.
"I've heard that many of you were forced into the military at a very young age and became the Liangzhou Guards to defend your country. Most of your actions were forced upon you."
"Someone once told me that you hate the endless wars with me and the uncertain life."
"With the chaos in Liangzhou this time, I know that many of you must be fighting for your own special services and Yuan Chan, so I won't force you." Yuan Susu endured the sharp pain in her abdomen, her lips trembling slightly.
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you. You have served the country with loyalty and are already meritorious officials. Go to General Xie, hand in your token, receive your money, and leave. From now on, the life and death of Liangzhou Health will have nothing to do with you."
"If you still want to stay, you'll have to accept the new general sent by the imperial court to take control of the Liangzhou Guard. But isn't this also an opportunity?" Su Su glanced at the crowd, whose gloom had slightly dissipated. "The original Liangzhou Guard Governor, the six special forces, and the deputy generals have all been decided long ago. The opportunities given to you are very few, and now the formation of the new Liangzhou Guard depends entirely on your own abilities to fight for yourselves."
"That's all I have to say. For those of you who are leaving, I wish you a smooth life," Yuan Susu said in a firm and ruthless voice. "For those of you who are staying, I wish you great military success and may you be invincible!"
As soon as the words fell, Yuan Susu fell into Shen Rang's arms.
This time her period was caused by the unfamiliar climate and the loss of vitality, which led to her depression.
But in the final analysis, it was caused by drinking too many cold contraceptive pills earlier.
The ice is three feet thick and it didn’t freeze overnight. Chen Rang understood this, so he felt even worse.
He didn't want Su Su to pay for the sins done by Yuan Jiyin.
The imperial physician advised that they should leave here as soon as possible so that His Highness would not be too worried and panic.
…
After Su Su had a nap, when she woke up, she clearly felt a pair of hands gently covering and kneading her lower abdomen.
She looked up at Shen Rang, who was holding a medical book in one hand and rubbing his stomach seriously with the other. Her heart warmed and she chuckled.
Shen Rang moved his gaze to Su Su's face: "Awake? Is it still painful?"
"Better now." Yuan Susu's voice was sweet, and she acted coquettishly towards Shen Rang, "How long have you been rubbing me?"
"It's not that long..." Chen Rang raised his hand and rubbed his wrist, "Probably just an hour. I'll learn the technique along the way. If it hurts again in the future, I can rub it for you."
Shen Rang looked at Su Su and said, "Shall we set off for Ningzhou tomorrow?"
"My villa should be completed, right?"
Shen Rang tucked in the quilt for her and placed the thermos that Cuicui had prepared in her quilt. "It doesn't matter if it's not finished yet. Your husband has a house in Ningzhou under his name. Although it's not big, it's enough to deal with for a few days."
Oh, I forgot, my husband's family has some money~
Yuan Susu was helped up by Chen Rang to take medicine, but she still frowned in disbelief and asked, "Are you really going to Ningzhou with me? Not returning to Beijing?"
Chen Rang looked at Su Su with cold eyes, his voice filled with anger: "What? Did I delay Madam's pursuit of pleasure by following her?"
"No, that's not true. Talking about flowers and asking for willows is such a bad idea," Su Su said with a wry smile, muttering softly, "I just wanted to feast my eyes."
"Hug? Hugging me is not enough, you even want to hug them?" Shen Rang suddenly grabbed Su Su's wrist, his voice cold and his eyes glaring.
In theory, how difficult it would be to please a jealous husband if he has no ears!!
"No way! You heard wrong," Yuan Susu argued, "I meant that Ningzhou has a lot of delicious food, so of course we have to eat our fill~"
"But seriously, Your Majesty is still so young. Do you really want to be a hands-off boss and just leave with me like this?"
Chen Rang shook his head and chuckled, stirring the bitter medicine in the bowl. "Of course not, but Your Majesty has several old ministers and Ling Feng by his side. If there is something really important, please send a letter to me and I will rush back to the capital in two days."
"Then my husband will have to work hard~" Yuan Susu really didn't want to take the medicine and planned to continue distracting him.
"Hey...husband..."
Shen Rang had seen through her little tricks long ago and placed the spoon to her lips: "Don't interrupt, concentrate on drinking the medicine, and then you can talk slowly after you finish it."
"Can I not drink it? It's too bitter!" Su Su turned her head away.
"No!" Shen Rang refused with a stern face.
Seeing Chen Rang so serious, Su Su had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish the bowl of bitter food that made her toes dig into the ground, and the bitterness continued to spread through her throat.
Shen Rang stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth, which effectively eliminated the remaining bitterness.
“What you said on the city wall today was beyond my expectation,” Shen Rang’s dark eyes showed warmth, “Su Su, you did a great job.”
“Shen Rang, actually I want you to be selfish.”
"Where do we start?" Shen Rang raised his eyebrows.
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the court anymore. In this cannibalistic world, we shouldn't be too selfless. Isn't it better for us to just take care of ourselves?" Yuan Susu's voice trembled slightly. This was her heart-wrenching feeling after this experience.
"I understand, but there are some things that I can't let go of completely just because I want to." Shen Rang looked at the complex forces swirling around him, and undercurrents surged in the capital.
The court was facing internal and external troubles.
The country may become shaky in a moment, and he can no longer remain immune as he shoulders heavy responsibilities.
Perhaps the only thing Shen Rang could do was to slowly let go and hand over the power in his hands bit by bit.
"But Susu, I promise you that when Your Majesty comes of age, I will completely let go of you and I will never go anywhere else in Ningzhou, okay?" Chen Rang lowered his head to look at Susu who was leaning in his arms, and comforted her gently.
"By then, you will give me a daughter..."
While Shen Rang was still lost in his endless reverie...
Yuan Susu frowned: "Stop! Men and women are equal, I like both men and women."
Shen Rang nodded in agreement: "Okay~ Then how about a son and a daughter, or two daughters?"
"However, childbirth is not easy for women. I don't want you to suffer if you give birth to two children. A daughter is better."
hiss……
So my son got the discount by placing a large order?
