Chapter 48

I don’t know who she is, but she is always chasing me and wants Chu Xia’s life. She ran for her life crazily in her dream, but she still couldn’t avoid death. She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and woke up from the nightmare.

.

"Huhuhu..."

Chu Xia started to do it, panting heavily and trying to calm down her heart. But she couldn't forget the nightmare.

She felt that this was not a coincidence. A woman had always appeared in her dreams and the plot had never been changed. This must be reality and something that would happen. Chu Xia was very scared and panicked.

She didn't know what to do, whether she should tell Jing Yuan about this matter. It was still dark outside, so she lay down and went to sleep again.

However, she tossed around and couldn't fall asleep. Her thoughts were disturbed by the dream. She really wanted to know what that woman looked like, who she was, why she wanted to kill her, and what she wanted to do.

In this way, Chu Xia didn't sleep well until dawn. After she got up and got dressed, she looked at her pale face in the mirror and the black circles under her eyes. She really didn't look good.

She planned to tell Jing Yuan about this matter, ask him what he thought, and see if it would be of any help to her. When she went out, she felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen, where there were the big girls' bags from last night.

of dumplings.

"Chu Xia is here. We will have breakfast soon. Please sit there and wait for a while."

A peasant woman was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for everyone. When she saw Chu Xia coming over, she had no time to entertain Chu Xia, so she asked her to sit there and wait for a while.

Chu Xia just sat there obediently, watching the peasant woman working there. She wanted to help, but she refused to let her go. This left Chu Xia with no choice but to sit here and watch her work.

.

Jing Yuan had just woken up. He looked at the sky outside and got up quickly from the bed. He had other important things to do today. He had to ask the older men in the village what they thought of the current imperial court.

.

In this way, he can formulate policies that are in line with public opinion and will also help him successfully obtain the position of king.

After getting up, he wanted to go find Chu Xia, but he was worried that she hadn't gotten up yet, so he didn't go to her and went directly to the kitchen. He was a little hungry.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door of the kitchen, he saw a figure that looked so familiar. He was wearing a long pink dress and his hair was tied neatly. This was Chu Xia's usual dress. At this time, Chu Xia did not notice that Jing Yuan had already

When he came, she was still sitting there in a daze.

"Chu Xia, why are you up? I thought you didn't get up and didn't disturb your sleep."

Jing Yuan looked at Chu Xia, walked up to her, and talked to her.

After hearing the sound, Chu Xia came back to her senses and looked up at Jing Yuan. She did not expect Jing Yuan to get up. She thought he was asleep, but when she got up, Jing Yuan did not wake up.

The aunt saw Jing Yuan and came over, and hurriedly asked him to sit down. He sat next to Chu Xia, and the two of them were just waiting to eat.

"Okay, okay, it's done. Come over and eat."

The aunt greeted the two of them and asked them to come over and eat quickly. We can't wait for these dumplings, they won't taste good after a while.

Jing Yuan stood up and walked over to help his aunt carry the rice, while Chu Xia helped her cross the water. The two of them cooperated quite well and really seemed like a family.

The two of them sat down to eat and were full. After that, they helped cook everyone's meals. It would be time for them to get up in a short while, and everyone would come to eat.

I lost track of time when I was so busy. The food was probably all ready. Jing Yuan went to inform everyone to come for dinner, and Chu Xia was there to help prepare chopsticks.

"How's it going, Miss Chu? You two are doing well, right?"

While the aunt was busy, she was chatting with Chu Xia. She asked how the two of them were getting along. People in this village were very optimistic about the two of them and were eager to witness their marriage with their own eyes.

Chu Xia's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she couldn't even concentrate on the work on her hands.

"No, ma'am, what did you say?"

"Mom, I'm someone who has been here before. This guy Jing Yuan is really nice. If you two have a crush on each other, you might as well get married. It's quite suitable."

When Chu Xia heard that it was mentioned about getting married, this was something she had never thought about, and she blushed so much that she didn't know how to answer it.

At this time, Jing Yuan brought everyone here, which rescued Chu Xia from the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat. Don't be hungry. There are other things to do after eating. Everyone is full."

Jing Yuan greeted everyone and asked everyone to sit down for dinner. After the meal, he had something to ask everyone. The weather was not good today and it was likely to rain again, so he didn't have to work in the farmland. It was a good time to take this opportunity.

Opportunity to chat with people.

Chu Xia served everyone the food, and Jing Yuan also went to help. The two looked at each other, and Chu Xia quickly avoided his eyes, probably because of shyness.

The aunt's words echoed in Chu Xia's mind for a long time, and she couldn't get rid of them.

Does Jing Yuan like me?

Will you be willing to marry me?

Such thoughts suddenly appeared in Chu Xia's mind. She shook her head and let her thoughts return to normal. She could no longer think about these messy things. This made her feel very uncomfortable and upset, and she could not calm down.

to do things.

Jing Yuan saw Chu Xia's abnormality and was very surprised. He kept paying attention to her every move and wanted to know what happened when he left and why Chu Xia escaped from his eyes just now and was still so panicked.

After the meal, Jing Yuan organized everyone to go to a large empty room and asked everyone to sit down.

"The reason I asked you to come here today is to ask some questions and understand your thoughts."

Jing Yuan looked at everyone, stood there and said this, quite like a leader.

"Prince Jing, if you have any questions, just ask and we will tell you."

"Yes, just ask directly."



Everyone was chattering. All the men he gathered here were men from the village. Chu Xia didn't come over either. Jing Yuan didn't call her. After all, women in political affairs were not good at it.

"Everyone has some experience with the current policy of the imperial court, as well as the tyranny of the monarch. I hope you can share your feelings, any other opinions, or what your ideal monarch looks like.

All these can be said.”

Everyone understood what Jing Yuan meant, which was to give advice, and then he would see what he should do.

"Today's monarch is indeed incompetent. He spends his days drinking and drinking, lusting after women, and doesn't pay attention to political affairs at all. He should be overthrown. I think Prince Jing is very suitable. Being a monarch will definitely win the hearts of the people."

One of the men sat there and said these words. Everyone was quiet for a moment, listening to what he said, and then there was an excitement, and everyone agreed with his statement.

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Yes, that's right."



Jing Yuan felt very satisfied when he heard them praising him like this, but he wanted to know what else he should do, so that it would be better.

"Thank you for your recognition. Jing is ashamed, but I still hope that everyone can give your opinions on how to stipulate taxation or punishment for crimes in the future. Tell me your opinions. I can also use it as a reference."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. After all, they are all rough people. How could they understand the formulation of such a policy? They just talked about their own thoughts. Indeed, no one could speak out about this kind of issue.

.

"As for taxation, I think that according to the number of people in each family, enough food should be reserved for the whole family, and half of the excess can be collected as public food. If the family does not have enough strong men, we can provide food supplements, so that there will be no such phenomenon as starvation.

.”

Jing Yuan told him his plan to see how everyone would react.

But to be honest, his statement is indeed good and humane. It is much better than the policies of the current government.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good statement and fair to everyone."

"Yeah, it's pretty good."

"It's much better than the current government's policy."



After listening to everyone's words, he felt more relieved and gained everyone's approval. Then this policy was considered relatively successful and it was necessary to implement it.

"Thank you everyone, let's discuss the penalty system."

As soon as Jing Yuan finished speaking, everyone fell silent and listened to what he would say next.

"I believe that punishments such as murdering for life, imprisonment for stealing, and demoting officials for corruption should never be used to punish the Lian clan."

Everyone nodded and agreed with his statement. It was indeed a very reasonable policy. This made the people's idea of ​​Jingyuan as the monarch even stronger.

They are eager to start an uprising now, overthrow the current monarch, and let Jing Yuan sit on the throne. In this way, their good days will come, and they will no longer have to worry about living in fear.

"Thank you for your recognition. If I sit on the throne, I will definitely implement this and never break my promise."

He made a guarantee and gave the people reassurance. Everyone was determined to follow him, thinking that he would be an enlightened monarch who would be thousands of times better than this tyrannical king.

The discussion meeting was almost over. Jing Yuan looked at everyone and asked them to go about their own business. They could have a day off today and arrange their activities freely.

Everyone left one after another. After everyone left, Jing Yuan was about to leave when Chu Xia came.

"I also heard about the meeting just now. Your policies are very good and are in line with public opinion."

Chu Xia was praising him. Jing Yuan looked at Chu Xia with a smile. He was the happiest when he got her approval. Because he cared about her, he cared more about her opinion. The reason why he didn't let Chu Xia come was because he was afraid.

If she doesn't approve, he won't be in the mood to continue.
