For Wang Fu and his family, the early winter of the seventh year of Yongde was definitely the most unforgettable.
For several years after the emperor ascended the throne, he always rested with the people and rarely carried out major construction projects. But starting from the fifth year of Yongde, Chang'an began to undergo transformation.
According to the emperor's instructions, the area of each square will remain unchanged, but the square walls will be completely abolished. After hundreds of years of changes, the buildings in many squares in Chang'an City are in a mess, and there are countless illegal buildings. This causes dozens of incidents every year
Fire. The biggest one almost set the whole place on fire.
The emperor inspected the project more than ten times in civilian clothes, and gathered officials from the Ministry of Industry to discuss it many times, and finally decided to start the Chang'an reconstruction project.
The so-called reconstruction naturally does not mean to start over, but to demolish all the illegal buildings and replace all the houses that have been in disrepair... and in the vacant place, a large market will be built to solve the current overcrowded market.
question.
After this plan was launched, it caused almost no controversy in the DPRK... but many officials secretly complained because they were the largest owners of illegal buildings.
Rule makers often do not follow the rules... the emperor said meaningfully.
This is knocking.
Officials still had to work for their families when they returned home. The emperor put aside his words and either demolished the building or demolished the people!
Choose yourself!
The area where Wang Fuji's home is located is old and small, and if there is heavy snow, several houses will inevitably collapse.
Although it is old and small, it is in a good location and very lively.
Human! Aren’t you just looking for fun?
But the government made a decision to demolish this old and shabby area and build a large market. In exchange, the people will be compensated by replacement.
There is no problem with the replacement, but where is the training workshop?
There were not many people in that place when the Tang Dynasty was founded. Some people discovered this open space, and they just farmed it at first, but later someone in the family left, and they buried it outside the city. This was troublesome, and it was inconvenient for sacrifices... The city gate
Once it's closed, it's difficult to get in or out.
Go to the monastery!
As a result, the practice workshop became Chang'an Cemetery.
As Chang'an's population gradually expanded, several previously sparsely populated villages began to gain popularity. But the practice village was an exception. Those who settled here were basically poor people who could only build a few thatched houses to live in.
people.
If you don't have money, you have to live in a swamp, let alone a cemetery.
As a result, the people in the practice workshop and the tomb live in harmony... The door opens to the tomb. When it is time for sacrifices, the smoke and birds outside cry all day long, which is another kind of excitement. By the way, the dogs raised in the practice workshop
They are also extremely obese - the annual sacrificial time is an opportunity for them to take supplements.
But this is a last resort!
Given the choice, who would live in a monastery?
So Guo Xiu exploded.
But as the saying goes, people's hearts are like iron and official laws are like furnaces. When faced with resistance, officials raised the iron chain and prepared to kill chickens to scare monkeys.
What I didn't expect was...
"He is the prince?"
Guo Xiu looked at this young man and thought about everything in the past few years, but found nothing unusual.
Every time he would bring some worthless little things to coax Wang Qin, talk nicely and have a pretty smile, otherwise Guo Xiu would not give him a chance to get close to his daughter.
He has studied and started working, but I think Wen is a bit weak. But it doesn't matter if Wen is weak! If he is too strong, don't you worry about him beating his wife in the future?
These are Wang Fu's words.
The boy and his daughter are childhood sweethearts. Apart from the fact that they have never met their parents, they know each other very well. This is fate!
The couple discussed many times, and Guo Xiu also asked A-Liang about matters at home, and A-Liang often responded with a vague answer... Why is my father a teacher, and my mother-in-law is caring for her husband and raising her children at home...
This works!
Wang Fu and Guo Xiu discussed it and were very satisfied with the choice of this son-in-law. The only problem was that it was always the man who took the initiative in such matters.
Guo Xiu once again made insinuations, but this time A Liang was really stubborn.
Until today, Wang Fu and his wife did not know why A Liang wanted to hold the lake in front of him.
"Do you know Gu?" A Liang asked.
The brigade commander said respectfully: "I followed His Majesty in the southern expedition. At that time, Your Highness happened to be in the army, and I was in the Chinese army..."
That's where you can see A Liang every day.
A Liang nodded, "Just report the truth here."
"yes!"
The brigade commander pointed at the two unlucky guys, "Your Highness, please tell me how to deal with these two people."
Wang Qin looked at A Liang blankly, feeling that he was more majestic than before.
"It's not how Gu should be dealt with, but how the law should be dealt with!" A Liang frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied.
"yes!"
A Liang nodded to Wang Qin and handed over to Wang Fu and his wife, "I'm going back first."
He must give Wang Fu and his family time and space to digest this breaking news.
The two unlucky guys were dragged away, and Wang Fu's family fell into deathly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Fu said quietly: "Didn't you say that boy is a shy young man with no future?"
"When he goes to the store, he just sits and talks with Qin'er, and he is happy to ask him to work. Does he look like a noble person?" Guo Xiu said.
"But... wasn't it the same when I was at your house?" Wang Fu recalled that year, "I didn't wait for your mother to call me, but I took the initiative when I saw something happened..."
"Why are you so lazy after getting married?" Guo Xiu said dissatisfied.
"This man has already married home, so why are he pretending?"
Guo Xiu: "..."
"Aye, Aniang, will he come again in the future?" Wang Qin asked melancholy.
"I guess... not anymore." Guo Xiu said sadly, "The identity of such a noble person needs to be kept secret. Bailongyufu should know about it! Someone will assassinate him!"
Wang Qin sat there, staring blankly outside.
She still remembers the days when she first followed her mother to help in the store. At that time, her mother was working and she was sitting behind the counter. When she heard someone coming, she would take a look, and when she found out it was a customer, she would call someone to greet them.
Days like this were the same, until that day, a young man came to the store.
He smiles just like the big brother next door, but he has a lot more...such as an inexplicable confidence and determination.
In addition, he is well-informed and often talks about outside things, which makes Wang Qin quite yearning for him.
All this time, Wang Qin never thought about what would happen between the two of them. It was very natural. She felt that this was her partner.
She never thought that one day the boy would leave her.
real.
She felt that they would continue on their current trajectory.
But that’s the prince!
He is actually the prince!
"It is said outside that the prince is deeply loved by the emperor and the empress, and he has started to manage politics early."
"Some people also say that these are very similar to Emperor Xuande, Emperor Wu and Emperor Xiaojing."
"Honor the emperor and eventually die..."
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense, that's your Majesty, he's different from them."
"They said there's no difference, it's just human nature!"
"But that's the prince!"
"yes!"
"Forget it, don't think about it. Our family lives in a leaky shabby house, so what else do we dare to think about! Qin'er, Qin'er!"
"Why!"
"Gone."
Guo Xiu took her daughter out.
"Don't think about it, the prince is the prince and the princess...the princess in front of me is the daughter of a noble family. Our family is not even qualified to be a maid for the prince!"
"I...I didn't think about it. I'm just sad."
"Hey! What a sin! That boy!"
Guo Xiu looked at her daughter distressedly, "This is fate."
"Madam! Madam!"
Wang Fu chased her out and said excitedly: "What if she is a concubine?"
Guo Xiu was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Our family is so poor that we can't even afford a dowry. What do you think you can do in the palace? Be a palace maid?"
Wang Fu was dejected, "Yes! If you don't have a family background, you will still be bullied even if you enter the palace. That's all!"
Seeing her father hunched over and turned back, Wang Qin suddenly felt a little angry with that boy.
She felt that A Liang should suddenly disappear from her life. Maybe she would be sad for a long time, but she would not feel that the past was all an illusion like she does now.
That liar!
The girl raised her head and let her tears fall.
…
"... His Highness became angry, so he took action and injured two minor officials."
When the prince went out, in addition to the two guards he brought with him, there were also good men secretly following him. Not long after the incident happened, the news reached the emperor.
"Will A Liang still be a hero and save the beauty?"
The emperor smiled.
But then a more serious problem came.
"The prince is back, let him come to see me."
"yes!"
The emperor lowered his head and continued to deal with the seemingly endless political affairs.
He felt like he was going crazy.
I don't know how much time passed before the sound of footsteps was heard.
"Aye!"
The prince is here.
"I have a temper that refuses to be restrained, but I am willing to make a prison in this palace, for the sake of the country and the people, and also for this little boy like you."
The emperor took up his pen and wrote down his opinions on how to deal with it under the memorial, saying: "I will bear with it! Many times, I wish I could tear these damn memorials into pieces, break off the ink pen, overturn the eucalyptus, and smash the Laugh...look up to the sky and go out with a big smile."
"That's impossible! I have to wait until you can rule this world alone before I can be free."
The emperor raised his head and said, "Are you not injured? That's all. You have cultivation skills, so those two subordinates are no match for you. By the way, you also showed off your skills to your sweetheart."
The prince lowered his head, "Aye, I..."
"You are the prince, and you are always worried about other people's approach for ulterior motives. It is not your fault. And that girl has been with you since she was a child... It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a childhood sweetheart. Only when she is by your side can you feel at ease. , so I don’t have to be careful... I know that feeling."
The emperor stood up and walked out first.
"What's the saddest thing about a man? It's the person you sleep with, but his heart is not with you. Your identity is destined that your wife will have the idea of exchange of benefits.
Your mother has also been thinking about your marriage in the past few years. I think you will let that girl become your close person. But now it seems that you have a different opinion. Tell me."
