Chapter 235: The Way of Governing the Country

Because the aunt of King Chen and brother Chen Anguo wanted to avenge them, Chen Bing counterattacked with great force. The battle between the two sides was in full swing, and the sixth prince became idle at this time.

In the past, when the war situation was small, he could take Chen Anzheng out for a walk. Now that there is a full-scale war, there is no need for the two of them to appear, so they can only return to their old job: responsible for escorting grain and fodder, and also inquiring about the battle situation ahead.

In this way, he has more time to stay at home, and with his different status, no one dares to care about him. They even hope that he will not go to the front to cause trouble, so as not to have trouble explaining to the emperor in the future.

Seeing that Shen Qiujun was uneasy because of Chen Anguo and Chen Anguo in the past few days, the Sixth Prince knew that Shen Qiujun had gone too far and thought that it was because of her instigation that Concubine Rong secretly acted and killed both of them.

So he stepped forward and persuaded with a smile: "When the two countries are at war, their swords and arrows have no eyes. It is normal for them to die in the hands of the other side. Besides, they are still enemies and have no friendship with you and me. If they die, they will die. Why do they feel like they owe someone a debt?" It seems that you have killed them. You must know that being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. If they die more, our Daqi soldiers will have fewer casualties. Those who fell into their hands will be grateful to you in heaven. If they don't die, you still don't know. How many people have been lost in their hands? Speaking of which, you have accumulated evil virtues. Besides, this is also their fate. They deserve to die at that time. The King of Hell wants people to die at the third watch, who dares to keep them until the fifth watch."

Shen Qiujun was a little relieved by the sixth prince's words, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt guilty again. Hadn't their lives been taken away in advance? He couldn't help but smile and said: "When did you talk about merit? "

Seeing that Shen Qiujun still couldn't let go, the Sixth Prince blamed himself: "It's my fault for escaping for a moment and pushing you to the front. You are such a kind-hearted person, so naturally you always feel guilty. In the future, you will be responsible for these private matters." It's better not to get involved, so as not to make you feel uneasy all the time. Let me tell you, you don't have to worry about this matter. If something happens, everything will be on me. I am a sinister spirit, and even the little devils have to walk around. I am here. In front of you, just live your life peacefully."

Shen Qiujun felt sweet in his heart and couldn't help but lean his head on the sixth prince's arms and said with a smile: "Don't say that, it's like I can only hide behind you as the Liuli man. You underestimate me. If you talk about this kind of thing again, It's not convenient to come forward. That's all, since we had such a plan that day, we should know the result today, but I can't think of it."

From then on, Shen Qiujun really let go of her heart, but the sixth prince was worried that she would be depressed. So he talked and joked in front of her all day long, and even turned a blind eye to her closeness to her son.

On this day, the Sixth Prince told some interesting stories, which made Shen Qiujun laugh while hugging his son. Seeing that his mother was so happy, Brother Song also grinned with a few small teeth and smiled silly. Shen Qiujun became even happier. She held her son's little face and kissed her.

The Sixth Prince felt dissatisfied when he saw it: I'm just like a little show here, it's so easy to make people laugh. But he got an advantage.

After thinking about it, all the few jokes in his mind were forgotten. Shen Qiujun was holding his son and looking at the Sixth Prince with a smile. Waiting for him to say the next thing, the Sixth Prince racked his brains for a long time and finally came up with something. When it happened, he smiled and said: "If you ask me to say that the most stupid people in the world are the common people, a small favor can win people's hearts. Just say that during this period, King Chen lost two sons. The common people of Dongchen They felt sad for him in their hearts, as if they had received a lot of favor from him, but the taxes were just a little lower than in the previous dynasty. They all said that it was not easy to be an emperor, so how could one learn the ways of an emperor? In my opinion, it was really It's very simple, as long as you do light corvee and small gifts, you can win the hearts of the people in the world."

After hearing this, Shen Qiujun smiled and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Even if the monarch checks the sentiments of the people and is not extravagant and lustful, he dare not say that the government will follow the rules. It's like saying that our tenant farmers in the village, If all of them are poorly clothed and poorly fed, you and I will not look good on our faces. Besides, we will not point to the little rent they save, so we will naturally give them a few percent, but we cannot guarantee that the village bosses will profit from it. , but it was a waste of all our good intentions, and it made the tenant farmers think that we drank human blood and ate human flesh. When it comes to the court, things are much more complicated. The way of governing a country and the art of controlling people, It’s not completely useless.”

The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "Emperors in the past dynasties have some wise emperors and some foolish emperors. They all live the same life. You and I don't have to worry about these things. We just have to live our own happy lives."

Brother Song saw that he had nothing to do, so he obediently dozed off to the side. Shen Qiujun quickly put his son on the small bed and gently patted him to sleep. The sixth prince was left aside in the cold, and he had to give his son a fierce look and quietly Out.

When Shen Qiujun saw that his son was asleep, he closed his eyes and rested, but he couldn't stop thinking about the sixth prince's words in his mind.

It is true that King Chen was very popular among the people in the Dongchen area. In this life, the people will grieve for the loss of his two sons. In his previous life, there were several turmoils in order to avenge him, causing the court to send people to exterminate the rebellious parties many times.

In this life, Concubine Rong and her son are a thorny problem, and they have to be let go in the end. If Prince Chen has a problem in the future, I am afraid that the debt will fall on the sixth prince again. The hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. The influence of Chen Anzheng His strength is much stronger than that of his two brothers. If people from all walks of life in Dongchen who are in love with their old master gather together, there will inevitably be another commotion, and the sixth prince will become a human being inside and outside.

While Shen Qiujun was thinking hard, the sixth prince tiptoed to bring him again. Seeing that his son was already asleep, he stepped forward and picked up his son and handed it to the nurse beside him.

Shen Qiujun opened his eyes and quickly stood up and whispered: "He just fell asleep, move somewhere, be careful if he wakes up, he won't cry if he doesn't get enough sleep."

The sixth prince waved his hand, and the nanny hurriedly retreated quietly. The sixth prince then pulled Shen Qiujun and said with a smile: "You know my son every day. I haven't been at home for a few days these days. Now it's easy for me to ignore you when I'm home." Come on, it’s in vain that I’m still bothering to make you happy.”

Seeing his rogue appearance, Shen Qiujun turned around, lay down and closed his eyes to sleep.

The sixth prince also took advantage of the situation and lay down against her, but his hands were groping around dishonestly. Shen Qiujun hurriedly pressed his hands and scolded: "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

The Sixth Prince smiled coquettishly and said, "You have been worried a lot these days. I am not going to help you find some fun, but also to relax and have fun."

When Shen Qiujun heard this and saw that the Sixth Prince's hands were still careless, his face turned red, and he was embarrassed and angry: "What are you talking about? I'm not happy. I just rely on this to have fun. What kind of person will I become?" Come on. Stop it, I have something serious to talk about."

The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "This is a serious matter for me. You are occupied by that boy every day, so you should give some of your time to me. If you have any questions, we will talk about it later."

The two of them rolled around for a while, and for a long time, Shen Qiujun had time to express his worries, and then fell asleep in a daze.

The sixth prince lay there seriously and thought about it.

If Chen Anzheng really gathered people to avenge his father, he would be sent here to fight. The Emperor Tiangao would live a leisurely life far away, but in this war, he always has to keep an eye on the war. How can he live in the mansion as comfortably as he does now? , on the contrary, the whole family is always in a state of separation. This is not good. It is better to think of a way to divert the trouble to the east.

On the second day, the Sixth Prince made up his mind, organized a good team of people, and said to Shen Qiujun: "You have considered it very carefully. I have already made an idea. Don't worry about it."

Shen Qiujun hurriedly asked what the idea was, and the Sixth Prince smiled and said: "It's better not to know, so as not to regret it when you can. If you have any worries in the future, just let me know and I will naturally help you solve it. As for how to solve it, you It's better not to ask anything about it." After saying that, he led people forward to look for General Zheng.

It happened that General Zheng was also having dinner at this time, so he invited the Sixth Prince to have a drink together, and they naturally talked about the war situation at that time.

General Zheng said angrily: "As long as Dongchen is eliminated, we must also eliminate those small forces. The emperor sent envoys that day and gave them many benefits. They cannibalize others and take advantage of others. I am short-handed, and I promised Da Qi happily at that time, so I will help Da Qi attack from both sides. Now it is better, if King Chen gives him some benefits, he will turn against him. Such villains who do not keep their promises will have to deal with them sooner or later. "

The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "They are just a group of barbarians who are greedy for profit and have no foresight. Why should the general be familiar with them? But then again, their terrain is dangerous and we are not familiar with the place. We really have to do our best." I'm afraid the cost of annihilation is not small. Besides, even if they are scattered, they were once a clan. If they are forced to twist into a rope, it will be even more difficult. I think the emperor's intention is to conquer the Central Plains and then move to the poor mountains and rivers to the east. , a stubborn country, as long as they surrender to Da Qi and pay tribute every year, they can just let it go."

General Zheng sighed and said: "I feel uncomfortable when I think of them going back on their word. I also know what the emperor means, but I always feel that I am getting an advantage from these little bastards."

The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "This tone still needs to be said. Since they are capricious, a small favor from King Chen can defeat them. We can also buy them back again, and the temptation is definitely more powerful than a small favor from King Chen." To attract them."

General Zheng said hurriedly: "I would like to hear the details."

The Sixth Prince smiled, but changed the subject and said, "Now that we have entered the hinterland of Daqi, how does the general feel about King Chen's rule?"
