678:Huimeng Huangshui (15)
Why did Zhongzhao become the most powerful country among the five countries of the Central Plains?
First, Zhongzhao has a unique geographical advantage, and the border only borders other Central Plains countries, and there is no foreign disaster. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Second, the Zhongzhao was the first of the five kingdoms to be established, seized a lot of wealth from the previous dynasties, and recruited many famous families.
There is no foreign coveting, and there is the wealth accumulated by the family as the background, and it is expected that it will become the head of the five countries.
It's just that excessive comfort has given birth to infighting.
Today's Zhongzhao has stepped into the footsteps of Dongqing, and the battle for party power has become more and more ferocious.
In addition to infighting, the rich, extravagant and comfortable life also distorts the minds of some people, and they can be demons.
As the man in gray mocked, Zhongzhao provoked so many moths, purely because there were too few dead people.
If you arrange a bunch of enemies who are tigers and wolves for the Zhongzhao, so that their borders will not be peaceful, countless young and strong people will die tragically, and newborns will decrease year by year, see if they still toss the so-called "Four Books of Women...... Widows are forbidden to remarry and women are restrained from keeping their chastity......
Oh, it's ridiculous.
The man in gray left the tea shop and followed his memory to find the place where the sinking ceremony was held.
When he arrived, a group of people had gathered in front of him, standing at the water's edge and pointing.
The noisy discussion was mixed with the cry, and the man in gray lowered his eyes and looked at it. The weeping child was not very old, the boy was young, about seven or eight years old, and the girl was young and thin, but three or four years old, and both were born black and thin.
Beside them, there was a young man in his twenties, who had a hideous face, protected the child, and roared at the crowd.
Combined with the discussion of the tea shop and the conversation of the villagers who watched the sinking pond, the man in gray sorted out the synopsis of the story.
To put it simply, a young widow of twenty-three couldn't bear the loneliness, stole a man from the same village, was caught and sank in the pond.
The man in gray took two steps forward, and with the convenience of his tall figure, he saw at a glance a drowning woman with a pale complexion lying on the edge of the pond.
Before he arrived, the man had been drowned in the pig cage.
It didn't take long for the crowd to disperse, with the strange joy of breaking the taboo on their faces, which was disgustingly ugly.
The man in gray was about to leave, but he saw the young man dripping into the water, scooping up the body of the woman who was half submerged in the water, and preparing to carry it home.
He lowered his eyes, paused, and took out a little bit of silver and gave it to the child beside the young man.
Look at the young man's attire, he doesn't look like a rich man, let alone give a woman a decent person after death.
The young man bit his lip tremblingly, his eyes filled with tears, and he said in a thick accent, "Thank you, big brother. ”
The man in gray took the opportunity to ask a few more questions and heard another version.
The woman who was sunk in the pond is the village flower of the neighboring village, married to the village a few years ago, she has been married to her husband for a few years, her stomach has not moved, and she finally got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, and her in-laws are particularly disgusted with her. After the birth of the daughter, the husband died, the woman was young and widowed, and the in-laws treated them even more harshly, thinking that the granddaughter was a victim, and even took advantage of the woman's inattention to throw her daughter into the mountains and almost feed the wolves.
The young man went into the mountains to hunt and happened to save his daughter, and the two got acquainted and fell in love for a long time.
A widow with a widow who has a difficult life with her only daughter, a widower who has lost his wife and a son under his knees, and the two have a good feeling, which is a match made in heaven. After a long time, break through that barrier, and after discussion, prepare to live together and support each other.
However, the woman's in-laws couldn't accept it, scolded the woman for being cheap, not keeping festivals for his son, and slandered the two for having an improper relationship very early. The couple also went to the patriarch, hoping to drown the unclean woman so as not to tarnish the family's reputation.
The young man hunted all year round, but he relied on brute force to scare back the people who came to arrest people.
He can protect it once or twice, where can he protect the woman for the first time?
This morning, the woman found that her daughter and stepson were missing, for fear that the child would be abducted and sold by her teeth or thrown into the mountains by her in-laws to feed the wolves, so she hurriedly came out to look for it.
When the young people realized that it was not good, they hurried over, and it was too late.
Hearing this story, the man in gray gave a short and mocking "heh".
What's the most ridiculous thing in the world?
A woman who is as good as a husband is righteous, and she strictly asks the women of the world to keep the festival!
"Take these silver taels and change them to another place. If they remember it one day, maybe they will arrest this girl too......"
The young man wept profusely, looking at the great grievance, but he did not accept the kindness of the man in gray.
For him, the fact that the man in gray did not come over to spit on him and the woman was already the greatest kindness.
The man in gray sighed softly, handed the money bag to the boy who was shrunk aside, and couldn't help but rub the girl's bun.
"What's wrong with this world......
The young man carried the woman's cold and swollen corpse on his back, whimpering and crying.
"Oh, the wicked will reap the consequences. ”
The man in gray left these words and left quietly.
That night, the imperial city was brightly lit.
The teaching workshops everywhere are lively and prosperous, the silk and bamboo orchestra is endless, the figures are sufficient, and the figure of Miaoman is reverie.
The palace is also full of vocal music, and there is a luxurious and beautiful atmosphere everywhere.
The man in gray blended into the palace through the doorway, and under the guidance of Neiying, he came to the Tianfeng Palace where the queen lived.
At the top of the red vermilion door, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque, and the plaque is written with three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing - Tianfeng Palace.
In the palace, the candle flame is flickering, and the phoenix is ready to fly on the eaves carved from sandalwood.
In the dormitory, sandalwood is made of beams, pearls are curtains, and a huge moon pearl hangs in the sky of the palace, shining brightly, as if the full moon on the edge of the sky is hooked into the palace, just like a fairyland on earth. The white jade paved ground shines with a warm light, embedded with precious stones and gold beads, chiseled into the ground for lotus, the lotus flowers are lifelike, the petals are fresh and exquisite, the stamens are delicate and recognizable, and the gilded incense burner in the center is bubbling with mist.
Oh, it's really luxurious.
The man in gray had already changed his clothes, and he walked straight into the hall, and he did not meet a palace lady on the way.
"Come on, give the ...... to the palace"
In the hall, the woman in the palace costume is kneeling in front of the dressing mirror and putting on makeup on the mirror.
If you look closely, the gem-encrusted mirror is not made of copper, but it can reflect the figure very clearly, and it is as bright as a demon mirror.
The woman in the palace costume reflected through the mirror and saw a man with a vicissitudes of face standing behind her, and this person's appearance gave her a very familiar feeling...... This man...... It's like some acquaintance...... She was shocked, and then she realized that there were no palace people waiting in the palace.
She suppressed the fear in her heart, pretended to be calm, and turned around to ask him, "Who are you?"
"How forgetful are nobles, do you remember Xie Qian, who was murdered by you more than ten years ago?"
As he spoke, he showed a spear wrapped in cloth and directly attacked the woman's heart.
