Chapter 190 Love the House and the Dog, Enter Yanjing!
"The great victory at Hulao Pass shocked the whole world."

"Four years later, we recovered the land south of the Yellow River. In the sixth year, we recovered the three continents of Yan and Yun, and put an end to the Beifeng Rebellion."

"That year was the twenty-sixth year of Yongxiang, September 26th. The news didn't reach the south until the fifth day."

"That day I agreed to my daughter's long-awaited marriage, because I knew from now on."

"The world is at peace."

When Zou Lin said this, his face showed some emotion, and he continued:
"Moreover, at that time, the Lu family army was a righteous army, an independent army. Before he was named Shao Bao, he was only the 57th rank of the first rank in the army. Daqing's treasury had long been empty, and his salary in the north had been withheld. Until he was named Shao Bao, he had already resigned from office to practice Taoism and had never received a penny."

"Let me ask you, since I have never received a grain of rice from Daqing, how can I say that I am eating the emperor's salary and ungrateful to him?"

After hearing this, Yu Wenli seemed to understand something.

Daqing lost the northern land and recovered the mountains and rivers, and proclaimed himself king. This is the cycle of nature and is inevitable.

At least in the eyes of the northern people in Daqing, this is a matter of course.

Zou Lin said in a somewhat agitated tone: "As for the claim that I have a moral flaw?"

"The King of Yan controls the vast territory of Yan. There are thirty huge cities like Jiakang City among the princes of the area."

"The kings of the four kingdoms all have abundant coffers and are extremely wealthy, but the King of Yan only has a mere 16 taels of silver in his coffers, and that is his salary for the past ten years."

The inner treasury is different from the national treasury. It is where the monarch privately stores treasures and savings.

Sometimes, when natural disasters occurred, some monarchs would even lend the money from the inner treasury at high interest to the national treasury for disaster relief.

"According to the records of the Yan Dynasty's historians, the King of Yan only had four sets of clothes for the four seasons of the year, lived in three stone chambers in Zhongnan Mountain, and ate only three bowls of porridge every day."

"The incense in Mount Zhongnan is very prosperous. Except for the repair of the temple, the funds collected every year are all used to build private schools in Yan, benefiting thousands of students. However, the King of Yan himself has never taken a penny from it."

"Even now, the Prince of Yan is still alone and has not married. He has no sons or daughters. The only bloodline left in the Lu family is the Prince of Yan's brothers."

Zou Lin stopped here, his words were full of deep meaning, and he said no more.

Wulong seemed to be in deep thought after hearing this.

The King of Yan in Zhongnan Mountain can be considered a rare man, and there has never been such a monarch in history.

Xie Lingxuan had unknowingly become absorbed in gazing at the stone sculptures, her eyes fixed on them.

at this time!
Du Hui smiled, breaking the moment of silence, and said leisurely:

"I still remember that there was an interesting incident in Yanjing City last year, which is still talked about today."

"It is said that in a theatre, an actor was arguing with a female guest. The actor was a martial artist, and he stabbed the guest to death with his opera spear in front of everyone."

"He was arrested on the spot, and caught red-handed. I didn't expect that..."

Speaking of this, Du Hui stroked his beard and sighed.

While everyone was still pondering Zou Lin's words, no one reacted immediately.

Yuwen Liqian smiled and said, "Sir, how come you have learned to keep people in suspense?"

After hearing this, Wu Long said confidently:
"Killing someone in public, what else can I do? In Qianyuan, there is only one way to go, and that is death."

Daqian also attached great importance to criminal law, especially the crime of murder, which was second only to treason.

Since it was Du Hui who caused this incident, there must have been some unexpected events.

"unless……"

Wu Long changed the subject, with a hint of inquiry: "Is there really an extraordinary force behind that actor, able to make such a difference in Qianyuan City and make the laws of Yanjing give way to him?"

There was some speculation in Wu Long's words.

However!
This speculation was immediately overturned by Wulong himself:
"If he really had a distinguished family background, why would he end up being an opera actor? Is there something fishy going on?"

Wu Long pinched his chin and frowned slightly, as if he had put himself in the case.

"perhaps,"

Wu Long continued to analyze, "The person who was killed was not an ordinary person. It was not as simple as it seemed. There might be deeper power involved. Or perhaps, the woman's identity was special, which attracted many people to fight for her, and even caused a bloody incident..."

All kinds of speculations!
Yuwen Li looked at the third prince Wulong, who was rumored to be an iron-blooded man in various countries.

It turns out that he is just like the "idle man" in the village. He is not only obsessed with the art of matchmaking, but also likes to chat about "idle things" with others.

It turns out that we can’t believe all the rumors!
Yuwen Liqian thought to himself, even if this happened in South Korea.

Even if someone kills someone in public, he will not be able to escape the law.

It can be seen that although the laws of the world have differences and similarities, they are all consistent in dealing with such evil deeds.

Debts must be repaid, and murder must be repaid with life. It is a matter of course.

Xie Chunan seemed to have known the result long ago and had heard about the matter a long time ago, but he stood aside and did not reveal the follow-up of the matter.

This incident is still causing a sensation.

Du Hui smiled and said, "Your Highness's expectations are all wrong. This actor is indeed the son of an ordinary commoner, with a clean background. He and the woman are also ordinary people, without any prominent background."

"However, the ending was unexpected. Instead of being sentenced to death, the actor was able to save his life."

Wulong cooperated and said:
"It shouldn't be like that!"

Yuwen Liqian's maid was standing by, her dissatisfaction was evident in her words, she whispered:

"Hmph, those unruly people in Yan don't know anything about the law. They must be relying on the incompetence of the government to dare to act so recklessly. Officials protect each other and bend the law for personal gain."

However!
Du Hui smiled and shook his head, revealing the answer:
"This actor was originally sentenced to death, but when he was interrogated in the capital government office, the councilor who accompanied the interrogation accidentally discovered that this actor had a rather...handsome appearance!"

The last two words are a bit unexpected!
Yuwen Liqian frowned when she heard this and asked in confusion, "Junlang?"

Could it be possible that one could be exempted from the death penalty just because he is handsome?

This is the most ridiculous thing in the world!
The law is inviolable, from the emperor to the subjects.

After hearing this, Wu Long laughed even louder. He turned around with a playful look in his eyes:

"Is there such a love between Long Yang in Yan? This is beyond my expectation. I always thought it was a custom unique to Chu."

The State of Chu, a country famous for its Confucianism, had private schools everywhere and many students, most of whom were male.

Long-term coexistence and mutual learning have indeed given rise to a lot of special "classmate" friendships.

The appearance of "Xiang Gu" pushed this phenomenon to the extreme. Men wearing women's clothes and dancing gracefully became a unique scene in the State of Chu.

"Xiang Gu" means a man who is like a girl, and it is also a homonym of "xiang gong".

The business of this type of "Xiangguguan" is better than that of ordinary brothels.

"You are joking, my prince. Of course it is not this!"

Du Hui looked at the white stone sculpture holding a book protected by a fence.

"The reason!"

"In fact, the reason why this actor was spared from death was because he looked a bit like the young Shao Bao."

"Once the news spread, an outrageous number of people came to the court, crowding outside the court to catch a glimpse of this man."

"After the trial, the case has made progress!"

"It turns out that the man who lost his life was the martial arts master of the opera house. He had an affair with the actor's wife and had secretly communicated with her many times."

"After the actor found out, he was threatened by him and secretly poisoned the actor to steal his property. In the end, he was so angry that he accidentally beat him to death. Considering the complexity of the case, and the actor did not intend to kill."

"The trial was held four times, and even the Prince of Yan's Palace was alarmed. At first, he was sentenced to immediate execution, then to imprisonment, and then to exile. In the end, he was sentenced to be confined to the Pear Garden for life."

"It is said that when this man was imprisoned, a huge crowd of people gathered outside the government office, wanting to see the young Shao Bao."

"The actor knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the Prince of Yan's Palace, and then entered the Pear Garden."

Du Hui finished his story in a vivid and colorful manner.

Although Wulong felt it was novel after hearing this, the story of actors being involved was not uncommon in many countries.

Adulterers, adulterers, chicken thieves and dog thieves are common!
But because this person resembled the "young Shao Bao", the ending was different.

This way!
It seemed that the reputation of the King of Yan among the people had reached such a high level.

However, he has clearly ignored state affairs for ten years.

Yuwen Liqian had a thoughtful look on his face and couldn't help but say:
"Because the two people look similar, pardoning them... is likely to cause controversy." Xie Chunan took over the conversation and added: "Back then, this incident not only shocked Yanjing, but even Daqing heard about it."

"The most intense reaction came from the Great Chu. The Confucian scholars of the Great Chu were extremely dissatisfied with this matter. They believed that such a verdict was not in accordance with etiquette and law."

"They believe that the dead cannot speak and the truth is often difficult to trace, but in any case, killing someone in the street is an unforgivable crime, and the actor himself was not really harmed, it was all just a hypothesis."

Du Hui nodded and said slowly:
"When the trial began, when the actor's evidence was seriously insufficient, his lawyer wrote a sentence on the evidence presented in court."

A sentence that sounds gratuitous and unconvincing.

"Anyone who looks a bit like Shao Bao is definitely not a criminal."

The reason is far-fetched, there is no connection between the two!
"But it was this sentence that overturned the government's verdict time and time again."

"As for the truth of the matter, I'm afraid only the parties involved know the reason."

"But one thing is true!"

Xie Chunan didn't say anything else.

Everyone understood it in their hearts. They all held high positions and naturally knew the meaning.

Whether this incident was used by someone with ulterior motives to exonerate the actor remains to be discussed.

But it is undeniable that the people of this land's love for King Yan has reached an almost blind level.

Love the house and love the dog.

They didn't expect that this man who looked very similar to the young protector would be "bullied", so they all stood up.

Yuwen Liqian recalled the scenes in Jiakang City, where the people spontaneously threw gold and silver on the carriage to express their gratitude and respect for King Yan.

The relationship in this world!
It is often so simple and pure - if you give me a peach, I will give you a plum in return.

The people repaid King Yan in this way because he had once shown favor to this land, and his benevolent policies and achievements had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Give them sweet springs and give them fine wine in return.

Several people fell into a brief silence.

The horseman on the bridge rang the horse bells.

The group came back to their senses from their brief contemplation.

Everyone understood what this meant. The horses had rested enough and were ready to set off.

After passing Wangshenzhou is the capital of Yan area - Yanjing.

People who have traveled here say that Yanjing is the best city in the world.

Rich world!
I don’t know if it’s true or not!
The envoys from the four countries had long wanted to see it, and this time it was the time when the King of Yan ascended the throne, so the occasion was absolutely unprecedented.

"Li Qian, I'll take my leave first!"

Yu Wenli said goodbye softly and left with her maid and Du Hui.

As Du Hui passed by, he specifically called out to Yang Wenxian, who was standing alone by the river and looking a little lonely.

"Wenxian, let's go!"

"Go to Yanjing and meet the King of Yan!"

This conversation seemed to refresh the old man Du Hui, and his voice was full of anticipation and excitement.

Yang Wenxian greeted him and followed him away, but when he turned around to leave, he couldn't help but take one more look.

This Prince Wulong of Qianyuan.

He was the most admired military talent by his "disciple", the famous general of the Great Chu, Wu Chengfeng.

It is known as the "pillar supporting the sky" of Qianyuan.

In addition to the prime minister "Gongsun Pingxi" in the court, Qianyuan also had this person as the leader in the army.

Qian Yuan is one of the few people who can command large armies in battle.

Famous generals are common, but famous commanders are rare!
Although Wulong seems easy to get along with, he often "massacres" and "buries people alive" on the battlefield.

There are two possible developments in the future Four-Nation War.

One is the elite troops of the "Han Wuzu" of South Korea and the "Flying Tiger Army" of the Great Chu.

The second type is a "large-scale" war that starts a war to annihilate a country.

The formation of two types of legions is the core of future wars.

It would be a great pleasure to fight against such people on the battlefield and put all I have learned to use.

"pity!"

Yang Wenxian sighed slightly, retracted his gaze, and followed him away.

Wulong looked at Yuwen Liqian's departing back, which was getting farther and farther away.

He looked toward the river, seeing the sparkling water and the occasional bird flying by, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Let's go, thank you sir!"

"The more I think about this King Yan, the more curious I am."

Wulong left and several people followed.

Su Yue, Xie Lingxuan's cousin, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone present was a big shot, so she didn't dare to interrupt. However, she was very excited and her face was flushed.

It seems that this trip was a wise choice, as the people he interacted with were from various countries.

There is no ignorant person here!
I felt as if I had escaped from the daily necessities of the capital of Daqing and saw another world.

"Cousin, let's go!"

Su Yue urged Xie Lingxuan softly.

Xie Lingxuan took one last lingering look at the stone sculpture, then turned and walked toward the shore.

By the bridge.

The students got back into the carriage.

The State of Chu did not set out first, but waited for the three countries to arrive.

After just a short rest, the sound of horse hooves was heard.

"drive--"

Yuwen Li sat in the car for a while, lifted the curtain and looked around.

Several elderly men who were fishing nearby seemed to have fallen asleep in the warm afternoon sunlight.

No attention was paid to them!
They slept peacefully. Aren’t they afraid of encountering bad guys outside the city?

The carriage teams from the four countries did not stay in Wangshenzhou for too long. After only one day of rest, they set out again on the journey to Yanjing.

After three days of trekking.

In the eyes!
A great city began to appear.

Firmly occupying the vision before one's eyes, an extremely majestic city appeared.

Yuwen Liqian walked on the carriage and looked over. The maid hurried to support him. The strong north wind blew his dress.

Heart shocked!
The size of Yanjing was far beyond her imagination. Even from a long distance, she still couldn't see the edges of the city walls.

On the horse trail, there are endless streams of horse and camel caravans shuttling back and forth.

Twelve horse-drawn carriages can run in parallel!
The roads are full of joy, as if it were a festival or a grand holiday.

There were people looking around in the carriage.

Can't seem to believe it!
When did such a majestic city rise in the north?
