Chapter 396, Fair Lady
Everyone looked up at the sky.
They saw that the Heavenly Dao was angry!
"The Heaven and Earth are balanced and bound by rules. You actually disregarded the ethics of Heaven and Earth and abandoned the baby girl, causing chaos in the world and disorder of the number of yin and yang!"
"You Hezhou are really violating the way of Heaven and Earth!"
The number of men and women, everything is a rule set since the beginning of the world.
If the people of Hezhou valued boys over girls, resulting in more boys than girls.
Once this precedent is set, countless people in the world will follow suit!
At that time, the world will be in chaos, and she, as the Heavenly Dao, will lose her majesty in holding the rules in her hands!
Moreover, this is a huge cycle that will produce a series of butterfly effects.
The sky is in chaos, and the underworld is also in chaos!
How can this be possible?
The people were trembling with fear.
Xia Wanwan continued, "Just now you blocked the scorching sun and helped me ferry away the souls of countless babies. They were the girls abandoned by the people of Hezhou!"
After hearing Xia Wanwan's words, Tiandao frowned and said, "Such a large number of them came from just one city?"
"You are really unworthy of the rules of heaven and earth!"
Tiandao waved his hand and removed the clouds above Hezhou City. A transparent air of heaven slowly condensed in Tiandao's palm.
The sky of Hezhou seemed to have lost some restraints.
"I take back the rules of this side. From now on, no more girls will be born in Hezhou City!"
"Hezhou City is no longer under the control of heaven."
Tiandao's figure slowly dissipated in the sky.
When the people heard this, they cried and beat their chests, regretting bitterly.
They kept kowtowed to the sky, the sound of "dong dong
dong" was deafening, and the mournful voices continued: "Please, don't give up on us."
"We will never lose children again."
"Open the mountains and cut the road, we are willing to open the mountains and cut the road!"
What does it mean to be abandoned by the sky?
It means that all their prayers to the gods will be useless, and all their beliefs will no longer exist.
Ghosts can bully them!
More importantly, they can't give birth to a baby girl, and in a hundred years, they will be extinct!
Too terrible, simply too terrible.
The people were so sad and regretful that they wanted to die.
Some people fainted from crying, and some people spit out blood!
But at this time, Xia Wanwan.
The voice of Heaven kept floating in her mind, and Heaven said to her:
"Xia Wanwan, as you wish!"
"May your cultivation be like your ancestor, to uphold justice in the world, or surpass your master."
"Xia Wanwan, do you know that women have suffered for thousands of years? You have a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. You should not refuse this duty. Don't let your trip here go to waste." "Xia Wanwan
, I have taken away everyone's memories of this period. Don't use the thunder again!"
A warm wind blew across the entire Hezhou City.
The people who had cried to death gradually changed their faces, raised their heads from the ground, and looked confused.
Even Duke Yan got up from the ground with a wolfish look on his face, touching his head, feeling that he had lost something important.
"What's going on?" He asked the officers and soldiers beside him.
The officers and soldiers shook their heads, "I only remember that you said you would help the people to file a petition to impeach Princess Ximing."
"Impeach Princess Ximing?" Duke Yan looked down.
He saw a small black coal spirit, pointing at her and asked, "Impeach that little thing?"
Xia Wanwan raised her head to face him, frowned and said, "Who are you looking down on? Just impeach me when I tell you to, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
She put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed with anger. She
was so angry that she was struck by lightning.
It was the first time she was struck by lightning.
She didn't know if it was God who made her face black on purpose so that the people couldn't recognize her and avoid being beaten to death.
The black baby was suddenly picked up by her father with one hand, and held in his arms to wipe his face.
When Xia Siheng passed by Duke Yan, he lowered his voice and said,
"Duke, think carefully. If this matter is made a big deal, everyone present will be implicated."
"Among them, the first to bear the brunt are the local officials!"
It has not been long since Qiao Zhishu took office. If such a violent incident occurs, it will be difficult for him to be transferred to the capital to serve in the future.
It can be said that it is no different from a career in politics.
Thinking of this, Duke Yan clenched his fists.
The people are making a fuss again.
Qiao Zhishu led the officers and soldiers to pacify and suppress the people, but the people threw vegetables on his head.
He is such a gentle man, holding his head to avoid it, and he has to keep explaining.
Duke Yan looked very upset. He asked people to rescue Qiao Zhishu, and he stepped forward.
"Everyone, please be patient. This matter has nothing to do with Lord Qiao. The other party is the princess, and Lord Qiao is helpless."
"Let's put it this way. Considering that it is not easy for the people, this Duke will pay for the construction of the abandoned tower. Everyone should not ignore the court's order and build the tower again. The money can be spent as you wish."
Duke Yan kept his promise, and the people immediately calmed down.
Secretary Qiao stepped forward to stop him, "Lord Duke, I appreciate your kindness on behalf of the people, but the demolition of the abandoned tower is the intention of the court, and you should not be asked to spend the money."
"Lord Qiao, remember, as a parent official, you should not have any softness or sympathy, and naturally, you should not sympathize with me."
Duke Yan's hand patted him heavily on the shoulder, his eyes slightly moist, and his instructions were very serious.
Zhishu Qiao looked at the Duke's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Was this an instruction to him?
Duke, why would you help him?
After the people dispersed.
Duke Yan retracted his gaze, suppressed the relief and emotion in his heart, and smiled slightly,
"Lord Qiao is young and promising. These are the truths that I have learned from years of hard work in the court. It's okay to tell you, a younger generation."
"I am helping you just to share the worries of the court and your majesty. Don't worry."
"By the way, the night when Lord Qiao was blessed with a child, I was waiting outside, but I didn't have time to ask if it was a boy or a girl?"
Duke Yan asked kindly, with a tone that was a little bitter.
"Thank you, Lord, for presiding over justice that day. I have a daughter." When Zhishu Qiao talked about this, his face was full of happiness.
This battle was also for his daughter.
"My daughter is good, my daughter is good. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, they are all my own blood. It's great, it's great."
Duke Yan smiled, his voice choked a little. He turned his head and suppressed the tears in his eyes.
"Duke, I am so grateful for your kindness. Can you come to my full-month banquet next month?" Qiao Zhishu asked with a fist.
Duke Yan paused before leaving. He hesitated for a moment, took off the jade pendant from his waist, and asked the servant to give it to Qiao Zhishu.
"I'm afraid I can't come to the full-month banquet. This jade pendant is my gift to the child."
This item can keep her safe for the rest of her life, and she can rely on the Duke's Mansion in the future.
"If the child has not been named yet, Master Qiao can consider the word 'Shu'."
"A beautiful lady will be loved and sought after by a gentleman. This word is very good!"
Qiao Zhishu suddenly remembered that his wife had racked her brains for the child's name in the past few days.
Now that he thought about it, the word given by the Duke was very good. In addition to being happy, Qiao Zhishu asked again, "Excuse me, Duke, what is the story behind this word you chose?"biqiku "
No story behind it." Duke Yan's voice was hoarse, and he suppressed the sour tears in his eyes.
Yes, there is no story behind it.
This is just your mother's name!
