There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 358 Why Isn't He a Commoner?
This made the little boy even more excited, just listening to him talking.

"Later, I signed up with Hutou and Amao from the next village. It will be easier when we go to the front line."

"Our task is to catch the people who are in the woods, tsk tsk tsk, you have never seen how tall those people are, I am afraid they are ten feet tall and as strong as a cow. I am afraid that such a person It cannot be defeated without three or five people.”

"They are so strong, how did you achieve meritorious deeds in the end? I heard that you were rewarded by the emperor, how amazing?" Tang Wanning asked questions from time to time, trying to play the image of a good listener.

The little boy was even more excited.

"Amao and I found his old lair first, and built a shack in the dense forest. The three of us couldn't beat it, so we lay down on the tree and waited until midnight, when the big blacks were all asleep. Come out, and then... we burned their huts, hahaha, none of them ran out."

The young boy danced and talked about his glorious history. The light in his eyes was enough to illuminate all the dark corners. Even Tang Wanning and Xia Houjue were all moved.

"It's amazing!"

"Isn't it? He's so brave at such a young age, he really should be cultivated well." The two said their praises one after the other.

The old couple smiled honestly and modestly: "You two gentlemen, don't listen to his nonsense. This child has been like this since he was a child. In fact, he has a three-point score, but he has to say a seven-point score."

"No way, mother, what I said is true. You don't know how dangerous it was at that time, but afterward, with the reward from the emperor, all the dangers are worth it. Speaking of which, our emperor is really a wise son of heaven. "

"Unfortunately……"

"What do you have to regret?" Tang Wanning smiled and picked up a piece of sweet potato for the young boy, her eyes were gentle like a pool of calm blue waves.

"It's a pity that I haven't seen the emperor? Alas, a commoner like me will probably never see the emperor in this life. It's a pity to think about it. I really want to see the emperor?"

"Why do you want to see me?"

"Because we people all want to see the emperor. My grandma said that it is the emperor who saved the lives of many people. It is the emperor who makes many people have clothes and food to eat. It is the emperor who gives us a stable life."

The little boy was still talking, but Tang Wanning couldn't listen anymore. She turned her head to suppress her tears, and looked at the neighbor's big orange cat behind her with tearful eyes.

I thought desperately in my heart: "Yeah, he traded his life for these things? Who can imagine that a person can not take a day off all year round, and a person can only sleep for three or four hours a day? All the hard work was spent on the heads of the people, and it only took less than 20 years for a person to go from being so strong and energetic to being completely broken."

"God gave such a result, isn't that a matter of course?"

Tang Wanning touched her tears and suppressed them: "Yes, it is the emperor who gave us a rich life, and we all have to thank the emperor."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Houjue affectionately: "I hope we can all see the emperor one day, right?"

Xia Houjue didn't speak, just patted Tang Wanning's shoulder and said with a smile, "Yes, we can do it if we have the chance."

……

I have been staying in this small inn for three or four days. During these three or four days, I was happy except for being happy. The young man who was a few years older than usual was full of energy, and from time to time he would talk about his previous "heroic deeds".

Every time Tang Wanning sees him like this, she thinks of herself when she was young, isn't she, at that time even if she made a mistake, she had to talk about it, it was exactly the same.

Five days later, the two set off again, bringing their entourage with them in a carriage, and started all the way again.

There is no planned route for this trip, but they are determined to go to all the places in the Great Xia Dynasty, so they just follow the official road and expand the scope round after round. The counties and counties along the way are worth visiting. I have to read it again.

As the second place to stay, they chose Qizhou on the coast of the East China Sea, which is both the north and the sea.

When the two stood on the high and wide reefs by the coast, smelling the fishy smell of the sea, and watching the huge waves churning and beating the shore from time to time, they couldn't help feeling that this was probably a wonder in the world.

"This is the easternmost point of our Great Xia Dynasty, right? There is no place easter than here, is there?" For some reason, Tang Wanning thought of the phrase "Looking at Jieshi to the east, you can see the sea".

No wonder even Cao Cao has to praise such a scene, it is really magnificent and worthy of such an eternal praise.

"Yes!" Xia Houjue looked at her affectionately: "This is the easternmost part of our Great Xia Dynasty's territory. The fishermen here make a living by fishing. Like the people inland farming, they all depend on God for food."

Tang Wanning: "..."

This person, he is probably not romantic. No matter what she says, he can always involve the people. He will keep saying that the people are good and the people are short, and he will keep talking about the people. This is probably a kind of disease.

It's not that he is not allowed to mention the people, nor is it that he is not allowed to put the country first, but there must be a limit to everything, right?
The people of the country are important, so is it not important for oneself?

There was nothing to say for a while, the two stood on a high place and looked at it for a long time, and then reluctantly came down from the coast.

Walking slowly on the rough sand, Xia Houjue suddenly hugged him, a little choked up.

"Do you think I was wrong? Do you think I shouldn't grab the throne? Wan Wan? Do you think so?"

"Why do you suddenly ask that? Of course not!"

"If it was Xia Houyan who ascended the throne back then, I don't know what will happen to this country. If the queen mother and son control the government, I don't know what will happen to this country. How can there be the current Haiyan Heqing?"

"However, I failed you after all. If I don't fight for the throne, if I don't become emperor, we can hide in these places safely..."

Perhaps he was confused, but at the end of Xia Houjue's speech, it seemed that he didn't even know what he was talking about, so he just smiled wryly.

"I'm sorry Wanwan, it was my fault just now."

Traveling around the mountains and rivers, he found that he did not love power that much, and walking among the common people, he found that money was not that important.

All of this is completely different from his previous cognition. Sometimes he thinks that he might as well be a commoner, and sometimes he wonders if this country is entrusted to others, will it be as prosperous as it is now.

What if the people suffer at that time?
Xia Houjue closed his eyes, his mind was full of pain, sometimes he really wanted to ask God: "Why me, why did I reincarnate myself in the royal family? Why am I not a commoner?"
