Lonely non-good minister

Harsh punishments and harsh laws are the most direct statement.

The decree was quickly sent to the counties in the northwest. Song Yuan did not dare to be idle and personally checked the number of acres and population in the northwest. Song Run, a person in charge of military affairs, deliberately mentioned civil affairs matters, which showed that there were huge loopholes in civil affairs. It was too big to be ignored, and she was still kept in the dark.

Song Yuan did not arrange for any officials to intervene in this matter. He checked the past one by one and found many errors and omissions. The more messy the records were in the book, the bigger the loopholes were. If he didn't look at it with the mentality of finding fault, he would still have it. It's really easy to cover up.

After finally checking all the data and making arrangements, and rewarding those who deserved punishment, it was time for Song Run to set off on his journey.

They were going back to Jingzhao and no one knew whether they would come here again. For this reason, Wei Yan and others packed their things very carefully. They also packed all the scattered small items that Song Yuan bought after coming to the northwest. Omission.

This time I went back with my family accompanying me. Therefore, on the day of departure, the team was very large. Song Yuan followed Song Run on horseback and walked in front. Behind him were several accompanying carriages. Song Run’s wife and children were all in the car, and daily sundries were in the car. They were still packing up, just waiting for Song Run to decide on the place before sending them all over. The guards were watching over them, always alert to the surroundings.

Zhangye is deep in the northwest hinterland. For this reason, Song Run asked everyone to meet in Jincheng County. He did not allow anyone to walk alone, deliberately preventing anyone from causing trouble.

The wind and sand blew so hard that people's cheeks hurt. Song Yuan wrapped his head with a cloth and didn't really want to talk. Suddenly, the horse under Song Run's crotch sensed danger and was about to run away when frightened. Song Run immediately pulled it back and turned his head to look. I saw a little gray wolf jumping from the side. Several horses around were frightened. Fortunately, the people on the horses had excellent riding skills and were able to control it.

"Don't run around!" Song Yuan shouted immediately.

The playful little gray wolf stopped on the small mound in front of him and looked over with a rebellious expression. He was unconvinced but also waited obediently. The guard immediately dismounted and caught it back. When it was put in the cage, it howled. Yelling, holding the cage and looking dejected, but still dissatisfied.

"Did you raise it?" Song Run looked back and asked, "Why did you think of raising such a thing?"

Song Yuan picked up the cloth on his face and said, "I picked it up when I was patrolling Xiping. I originally wanted to let it go when it was weaned and could eat meat, but if such a small wolf cub was let out, it would only lead to death, so I wanted to raise more." Let them out when they are older."

"I don't know how long I will stay when I go back this time. This thing is a ferocious beast. If it can't be trained well, it will hurt people if it gets bigger. You have to be careful when raising it and playing with it." Song Run kindly reminded: "You go back this time. If you live in the East Palace as usual, you have to be more careful, Wei Ge is timid, and if you scare him, I'm afraid the Crown Princess won't let it go."

"Well, I will train it well. If it is brought into the East Palace, it will be locked in a cage and it will never run around." Song Yuan felt like she had eaten a mouthful of sand after saying these words. She picked up the saddle and hung it I took out the plug of my water bag and took a sip of water. Only then did I feel better.

Song Run looked at her and handed over a small purse: "Your sister-in-law made the pear candy herself, it will be more comfortable to hold in your mouth."

"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time since I've walked such a long journey, can you bear to stay in the carriage?" Song Yuan took the purse and said, "I remember there is a resting place ahead, do you want to take a rest?"

Song Run shook his head: "It's important to hurry. Stop and rest when you are really tired. When we get to Wuwei, we will probably have a long rest."

Um?This is true. Is it possible that sixth brother Song Fen can become a monster?
Song Yuan didn't dare to guess blindly, so he changed the topic and asked: "A few children have grown up in the northwest. When I go back this time, will my second brother arrange for some companions of similar age for them to get to know each other?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on how my eldest brother arranges it. If you still want to come to the northwest, then it doesn't matter. If you change places, let's wait until you settle down." "Cer'er is also fifteen or sixteen years old, Er. Brother, have you made any plans for him?" Song Yuan swallowed a piece of candy: "After all, he is the grandson of the emperor. Isn't it inappropriate to keep raising him like an ordinary child?"

Song Run smiled: "Isn't this good? Teaching them to know etiquette, justice, integrity, and responsibility is much more useful than teaching them to fight for power. You see what kind of life we ​​live. From the moment we were born, we were given a substitute father. The emperor's mission to fight for the throne has no choice at all. When you have a child, are you willing to let him live like you?"

Song Yuan couldn't answer. She had never thought about this question.

"Does the second sister-in-law also agree?"

"We have discussed it a long time ago. As long as the children are safe, we will not force them. We will teach them the principles that should be taught. It is up to them to make their own choices in the future, whether they want to become officials or do business and teach. In the end, There are more choices, and if they want, we will help guide them, but we won’t force them.”

Such an idea was really enlightening. Song Yuan was envious for a moment, and she was still smiling. Song Run asked, "It's time to finalize your marriage when I go back this time."

Song Yuan was stunned: "Is it too early?"

"It's getting late. If you want to get married right after the national mourning, you have to make careful preparations now. Even if you don't get a title, it can still be regarded as a prince getting married. The etiquette is very different from when we got married. If you get married after you get married, If you want to be knighted before marriage, you need to prepare in advance.

Moreover, good girls must be selected slowly, and their family background and character must be carefully selected. Some people are extremely pretentious. If you don't inquire carefully, you can easily be deceived. Once you get married, it will be too late to regret it. If you don't have a good wife, If we have a stable home, there will be big problems for us in the future. "

Song Yuan didn't answer. She didn't want to get married too soon. Getting married would mean exposing her secrets. How could she ensure that the wife she chose could be of the same mind as her?

"Why don't you mention the girl that the late emperor has chosen for you? Don't you like her?" Song Run asked with concern.

Song Yuan subconsciously agreed: "No, Miss Mu is very good, independent and capable. Although she has a poor background, she is tough-minded, smart and sensitive. I think she is very good."

"No matter how good it is, you have to like it. Although as a man, you have many choices, if you can't accommodate this woman in your heart, it will be torture for you, and it will be torture for her too. Life in the back house is difficult, and you all rely on love to live. .”

These words made Song Yuan silent. Mu Wantang knew her thoughts too well. Just because she knew her thoughts, he didn't want to hurt her. If she really married him, she would have missed her life and would be betrayed by herself. Being dragged into these duplicitous human relationships, I cannot escape.

As a self-reliant girl, she doesn't deserve to suffer such a big crime.

"My elder brother has mentioned your marriage to me several times. No matter what my father and we think, you have to have your own ideas." Song Run said softly: "After all, I am the one who wants to grow old together with you."
