Early in the morning, at the Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue slept soundly again, and no matter how many people in Sheng'an couldn't sleep, she didn't bother to pretend.
The morning sky was so beautiful; once the sun came out, it felt like early spring, even though it was a bit colder than the past few days.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Boxuan was overjoyed.
Xie Zhou came over and grabbed the boy.
"Uncle!" Yan Boxuan's voice was still a bit childish and unclear as he hugged his uncle, the Crown Prince, pretending to be happy.
Xie Zhou looked at him speechlessly; it was good that he was so carefree.
Huan Yue changed his clothes and came out to see the scoundrel. He hadn't slept all night again.
Xie Zhou said, "The Xue family caused trouble, which implicated the Zheng family, and Lian Qing stepped in."
Huan Yue asked curiously, "How much influence do the servants of the He family have? Is it the He family?"
Xie Zhou nodded; his wife was indeed clever.
Huan Yue didn't think so. This was probably orchestrated by the He family, right? The He family wanted to cause trouble in Sheng'an? So the He family wanted to do it themselves?
Many people think that once they acquire military power, they become very arrogant.
Huan Yue sighed, "Loyal ministers and good generals are so rare. How many grains of sand can produce a pearl?"
Most people are just looking for a job, but even that doesn't mean they'll be paid by the emperor or have to be loyal to him; everyone has their own ideas.
Xie Zhou comforted his wife: "Although Lian Qing has retreated, some people have also been killed."
Huan Yue nodded.
It's not easy to make a move under normal circumstances, but now we can take advantage of the chaos to kill them.
The He family won't utter a single word unless they openly rebel.
Once we've dealt with the He family enough, let's see how they dare to rebel.
A palace attendant ran over and reported: "Someone in Puban County claims to be a descendant of the Great Chu, has declared himself emperor, and has gone to Zichan Mountain to recruit soldiers."
Huan Yue stared in disbelief: "Going to get something for nothing?"
The eunuch reported, "The Chu traitor says he wants to build a great Chu empire where everyone is equal."
Huan Yue said, "Then why should he be an emperor? He should just go and farm the land like a peasant."
Xie Zhou thought it made perfect sense.
Huan Yue said, "Find someone to argue with him: This is about gender equality. Even if someone becomes emperor, he cannot be high and mighty, nor can he have three palaces and six courtyards, nor can he dress better or eat more than the poor."
Xie Zhou blinked. So this is absolute equality?
Huan Yue blinked. "Otherwise, how can it be equality? Nobles, capitalists, and commoners can never be equal."
Will Xie Zhou visiting his wife raise issues of equality?
Huan Yue didn't care about all that. There are no absolutes, but there are relative ones.
Perhaps absolute equality will be achieved in the future, so it's not something to worry about now.
Huan Yue pondered: "It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality. Inequality mainly stems from scarcity. What's scarce isn't material wealth, but spiritual abundance. If one day, we have enough to eat and wear, and everyone is spiritually rich, then there will be no need to possess anything."
The palace maid thought to herself, "This is more exciting than the heavens."
Xie Zhou couldn't sleep with his wife, so he had to go find his father, the Emperor.
I guess this person is similar to Han Oumo? Just another kind of spreading of rumors and misleading the public.
If we could break down his argument, would we forbid him from having three palaces and six courtyards? Xie Zhou was both amused and exasperated.
In Huan Yue's humble opinion, what else can a person who disregards social stability and wants to become emperor do besides enjoy himself?
Is it interesting to become emperor? No. But many people want to experience it.
pernicious influence.
Xie Fufu didn't quite understand, but she felt that things might get chaotic for a while.
Huan Yue comforted the child: "That's just playing around. A little bit of play is fun, but too much play is harmful, and a violent outburst will only lead to ruin."
Yan Boxuan chuckled, "I understand!"
Princess Yongmu, standing to the side, actually thought that Qing'e's description was spot on!
Isn't that a person? Isn't that just causing trouble? How is that any different from a child?
So we have to teach children that playing is fine, but they must be careful to do it in moderation.
A palace maid came to report: "Cai has taken Luo Yaohui back."
Huan Yue nodded.
The female official then reported, "The Chen family is holding a funeral; how will the You family handle this?"
Huan Yue said, "Don't worry about her."
Whether or not a conviction is handed down, the matter must be concluded. If the Chen family is lucky, they might give Chen Zhun some face, or Chen Ke might fight for his birth mother.
The You family had corrupted all four of their sons. They seemed like decent people at first glance, but their true colors were revealed when they were exposed.
The palace maid sighed, "You Shi is very good at teaching, why doesn't she teach them well?"
Chaoyun said, "That means you don't know how to teach yet."
Huan Yue said, "The You family's teachings are correct. If given the opportunity, the Chen brothers will pursue literature, and the You family will pursue martial arts."
Everyone stared wide-eyed. The You family also wanted to become emperors? Did they all just want to play the emperor game?
Huan Yue said, "Even if they don't declare themselves emperor, they still want to seize more power, leading to a fragmentation of the country by various warlords."
The Chen family got one piece, the King of Wu got one piece, the He family got one piece, and some were still dreaming, like the Dong family who thought they were the true Son of Heaven.
The Great Zhao is vast, and it's unknown how many have declared themselves emperors. But places like Zichan Mountain and Huanting County, which is occupied by the Prince of Yicheng, are places where one can claim dominance.
So, this book isn't about the sweet love story between the male and female protagonists?
Huan Yue wondered, should he tell the story of an emperor who turned the tide, or a tyrannical ruler?
Whether an emperor is incompetent or not is sometimes hard to say.
Anyway, Huan Yue doesn't care or know how to do it, and he's very powerful now.
As for whether the male lead is the crown prince or his father, Huan Yue doesn't care.
Now that the crown prince dares to act as the male lead, even his mother probably can't save him. He should just obediently be a son.
Huan Yue's goal was to stabilize himself.
Princess Yongmu felt that the Crown Prince's palace was extremely secure.
Sheng'an is in complete chaos, unlike the Eastern Palace which is peaceful. Qing'e isn't ignorant; on the contrary, she sees things very clearly.
Princess Yongmu need not worry about Cui's funeral arrangements; she is now taking good care of the two children.
Huan Yue was busy in the warehouse.
There's too much stuff.
The female official said in a low voice, "There are some treasures from Zichan Mountain that I'm afraid they will also be sent over."
Huan Yue sighed, "I was happy when I collected the treasures, but I didn't know I would be sad when they were confiscated."
The ladies-in-waiting all remembered this. These are all external possessions.
It's good to be happy, but we must not forget ourselves.
If one is upright, one can have anything in the world; if one is not upright, one cannot even protect oneself.
A palace attendant came to report: "Consort Luo came in crying."
Huan Yue asked, "What is it now?"
The eunuch reported, "The Luo family has been implicated by the Dong family."
Huan Yue looked bewildered: "What's the use of finding me? If Luo doesn't even want to be a beauty, then she can loyally pursue Dong."
The eunuch understood and went to dismiss Consort Luo.
The female official was speechless: "The Luo family is quite ruthless. If Your Highness gets involved, the entire Dong family's affairs will be affected."
Huan Yue asked, "Do I really like Lady Luo?"
dislike!
Everyone was busy with their own things.
With so many treasures, it takes at least a few people to guard them, keep accounts, and maintain them—it's a thankless and arduous task.
But people still love it. They'd risk their lives for it.
Huan Yue sighed, "Why not raise more cows? That way we can have beef to eat every day, and also milk and the like."
The palace maid smiled but said nothing. "Since Your Highness loves to eat so much, you can have lamb leg again tonight."
It's cold, so Huan Yue should give everyone some nourishing food.
Lu Qingjiao came over.
Huan Yue put her in charge of this matter.
Lu Qingjiao was overjoyed! She could see so many good things for free. Old Lu would cherish even junk, but these treasures were practically junk in the Empress's eyes.
Lu Qingjiao will cherish it and take good care of it, using it well herself and presenting it to others with dignity.
Huiqing then thought of taking out more of the money to make more clothes for the Empress.
