The pseudo-emperor Anlu Wang Yongye was a compatriot from the same mother as Emperor Ai. In truth, their relationship was much closer than that of Emperor Yuan.

After Emperor Ai was captured by Beiliang, the civil and military ministers hurriedly supported Emperor Ai's son to ascend the throne as Emperor Min. Emperor Min died in Liuya, and Emperor Huai was established in Pincheng.

When Emperor Huai was five years old, King Anlu was dissatisfied, so he colluded with the Chiwu tribe, the bitter rivals of Beiliang, and established himself as emperor in the fiefdom of Changyi with their support.

As an emperor, he was actually a puppet of the barbarians, so naturally he was not recognized by the Yan royal family or even the people of the world.

In the third year of Yongxi's reign, during Lien Hong's Northern Expedition, troops came to Changyi City, and the false emperor committed suicide out of fear of his crime.

As a criminal of the Yan family, Uncle Lou served for him——

Even if the Lou family is one of the heroes of the Southern Crossing, they cannot completely remove themselves. After all, how do you know that they are not betting on both sides?

If not, a few years later, Lord Lou Huan would not have been so shocked when he heard that his uncle had arrived in Beijing.

Jiang Fusang sensed something was wrong at the time, but because of his close relationship with Lou Huanjun, he chose to help her hide it... In fact, she helped hide more than this.

Jiang Fusang was sure that the Xu family didn't know about this yet.

Once it is known, Lou, the lady in charge of the family, may never regain her glory.

"That's it." Queen Lian's eyes flashed slightly, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but did not say any more about the matter.

"Si Tianjian has chosen an auspicious date, and it is scheduled for the beginning of next month. You will get married in Jingling first, and then you will be given a grand ceremony when you arrive in Chongzhou. I will also prepare a generous gift for you as a wedding ceremony."

Speaking of this, Jiang Fusang finally gained some energy.

When you are in adversity and you really can't resist, you might as well obey... Of course, the original words that Mr. used to mock himself are not like this, but the meaning is roughly the same.

She couldn't learn from her husband's open-mindedness and enjoy rape. She could only try to put forward some favorable conditions for herself when she had to bow her head.

Her condition is very simple, she wants gold and silver - a person who is greedy for money can always make people feel at ease. What's more, she really needs money, a lot of money.

But even the queen's gold and silver were not easy to get, and she didn't want to really tie her life to the royal family or the Lian family's ship.

After Jiang Fusang thought about it for a while, he could only suppress his eagerness and change the gold and silver to craftsmen.

"Craftsman?" Queen Lian was very surprised.

"Yes." Jiang Fusang carefully considered his words, "I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and have never been to the north. I heard that the customs between the north and the south are very different, so I'm afraid I won't be used to it. I also heard that trade in the north is not booming, so there are many things that even money can't buy...

So I shamelessly asked His Highness for some skilled craftsmen."

Even the queen burst out laughing after hearing this.

He praised her for her mature approach to things, but unexpectedly her childish side came out.

No wonder, even if the Jiang family is not as good as it used to be, the younger generation is still brought up according to the standards of a noble family daughter, and it is reasonable to be meticulous about food, clothing, and daily life.

"What's the problem? Later I will send people to select some good men as prison guards. On the day of your wedding, I will go with you to Chongzhou."

After Jiang Fusang thanked him, he added unhappily: "Potters, porcelain workers, lacquer carpenters, of course, Your Highness is so gracious. It would be great if you could give more spinners and weavers."

Even the Queen agreed, "The gold and silver craftsmen, the jade craftsmen, and the planters will not be left behind. I guarantee that your food and drink expenses in Chongzhou will be the same as those in Jingling."

It doesn't matter, Jiang Fosang thought.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

-

A deal was concluded in this mutual understanding.

Even the queen felt like chatting, and the next topic became much more relaxed.

Just as we were talking about the fashionable jewelry in Beijing, an eunuch came to report it.

Knowing that it was a matter involving the Tingwei Mansion, even the Queen did not ask Jiang Fusang to avoid it.

"Is the case over?"

"The trial is over. The fifth son of the Xiao family has confessed."

Is this Xiao Wu really treating Jingling as a thorn? Let him do whatever he wants!

Queen Lian's face sank, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.

The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Hu, was close to the Lian family. This time, it was his uncle Lian Tian's seventieth birthday. Although Xiao Hu could not come in person, he sent his family and children all the way to celebrate his birthday, which was a rare gesture.

It's just that Xiao Wute was careless. Not long after the Buddha's birthday, someone sued him for neglecting the people's lives.

Uncle Lian is getting older, and now it is his uncle Lian Chang who is actually in charge of the Lian family. After the incident, his uncle had already sent a message to the palace, suggesting that he would be punished.

Speaking of which, there are many dandies among the high-ranking disciples in Beijing, and there are also some who have caused deaths. As long as the deceased is not an important person, they are always treated lightly and no one is seriously punished.

The bad thing is that the Xiao family has a sensitive identity, and every move they make after entering the capital will be seen by others.

The Xu family, who both made their fortune through martial arts and had some old grievances, had always regarded the Xiao family as a thorn in their side.

Even the Queen suspected that Xu had ordered this lawsuit. Otherwise, how could a commoner have the courage and connections to offend a nobleman?

I originally thought that as long as Xiao Wu refused to admit it, everything would be easy, but I didn't expect that it would be easy if he did.

But since her uncle intends to rely on the Xiao family, and His Majesty does not want to cause a quarrel with Xiao Hu over this matter, thereby upsetting the balance in the north, she must at least make up for it.

"Gu Heng heard that the person who died was a ruffian who ran rampant in the countryside. He often bullied women and children and abused the weak, and the villagers suffered from it. Xiao Wu also saw injustice on the road..."

Even the queen paused, thinking about Xiao Yuandu's actions on Suri, and seemed to feel that what she said was far-fetched. What's more, she had to give an explanation to those who were paying close attention to the matter.

The subject changed slightly: "No matter what, it is a human life after all. Even if he is guilty, he should be handed over to the county magistrate for questioning. What Xiao Yuandu did was inappropriate, so he immediately asked Ting Weiqing to arrest the person and let him be imprisoned.

Wait for some time and think about your past."

"No." The eunuch accepted the order and retreated.

Jiang Fosang watched the whole process, and couldn't help but feel shocked by this tacit understanding that "the virtuous people should not come from the world, and their methods should not be compared to those of the powerful."

Once such a convention is established, the lives of ordinary people will never be told.

The person who dies this time deserves to die, but what if the person who dies next time does not deserve to die? Where is fairness and what is the need for justice?

She used to take these things for granted, until she had those experiences later...

The Master once said that it is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them.

Although the anger of the common people is insignificant, it can gather together into a tower. If there are too many such common people, a single spark can eventually start a prairie fire, or even burn down an entire dynasty.

Isn’t the growth and eventual rebellion of the Immortality Sect built on such soil?

Before that, who could have expected that about half of these wealthy families in Beijing would be killed by the Immortality Cult that they once believed in...

Jiang Fosang understands that if the root knot is not removed, sooner or later there will be this problem.

She had no way to change the general trend, so she originally planned to persuade the Jiang family to move out of Beijing before the crisis came - although the Jiang family might not listen.

But now, she is in Changqiu Palace.

She can't stop it, the person in front of her always has this ability.

Thinking of all the tragedies he had heard from those who had witnessed it, and knowing that countless people would die in vain during the turmoil, Jiang Fusang hesitated and decided to speak to Empress Lian.

Even if the Queen doesn't believe it, it's always good to be alert.

Just as he was about to speak, another palace attendant came into the palace.

This time it’s a matter over at Fangdeok Hall.

Two days ago, some members of the Immortality Sect attacked a captain in the Capital Water Prison and died suddenly after being scolded. When Concubine Xu heard about it, she summoned the captain into prison and whipped him a hundred times.

Yesterday, the imperial censor, Zhongcheng, wrote a letter saying that the Tao of Immortality destroys human relations and bans households from worshiping, which is suspected of bewitching the common people. This again aroused the dissatisfaction of Xu Guifei. This time, she could not be beaten at will, so she was fined one tael.

Censor Zhongcheng was very angry at being insulted and accused Xu Guifei of being too treacherous.

Concubine Xu said: "You have more than a thousand monks and nuns in your house. How dare you accuse me?"

Even the queen looked calm after hearing this.

Jiang Fusang was puzzled. With such a good opportunity, the Queen didn't even make a fuss about it?

Turning his eyes, he suddenly realized when he caught a glimpse of a statue of Tongtian Dharma Patriarch in the inner hall.

It turns out that even the queen actually...

Then why did you go to Yongning Temple to participate in the Buddha Bathing?

Yes, the emperor worships Buddhism, and there are almost half of the Buddhist believers in Beijing. Even the queen, as the mother of a country, still has to show her kindness to the emperor and take care of the people.

Empress Lian and Concubine Xu, who are as powerful as each other, can actually reach an agreement on the matter of religious belief, which shows that the energy of the Immortality Religion is average.
