Chapter 303: The law does not punish everyone
Regardless of whether he was in the Southern Kingdom or the Mu Kingdom, Yan Li had seen too many intrigues and struggles for interests, such as the royal family competing for the heir apparent, the concubines competing for favor, brothers killing each other, and the schemes and frame-ups between officials... at least they were all for their own interests. .
She has also been exposed to unprovoked hostility, such as those princesses from the Mu Kingdom and noble daughters of aristocratic families.
But this was the first time she heard of such a crazy beast treating people as human beings just for stimulation.
Yan Li could only sigh that his knowledge was shallow and he had never heard of it.
She felt that the behavior of Kang Zixu, the legitimate son of the Kang family, was enough to make people angry, but she didn't expect them to be even more scum that opened her eyes - and under the emperor's feet, they dared to be so blatant. Tianlai Novel Network
It can be seen that 놋 is so bold and daring.
"These people, with their prominent and powerful status, enjoy unlimited glory and wealth, but they do such obscene and dirty things in private, and they are not afraid of retribution?" Yan Li sneered, "Since Princess 녤 is here today, 늀 is doomed for them. You have to pay for your actions.”
Xuan Xuan frowned slightly: "No matter how disgusted the eldest princess is with these behaviors, she must not conflict with them - at least not today. Those people don't recognize their relatives, and even the queen can't do anything to them."
When they came just now, they didn't bring more people with them. If there was a conflict, those people would be crazy and the consequences would be disastrous.
"The Queen can't do anything to them?" Yan Li frowned, "Are these people really brave enough to take such a step?"
"The main thing is that the law does not punish everyone." Xuan Xuan sighed, "And most of these military generals' children come from noble families, some are from the Imperial Guard, some are from the Royal Guards, and some of their fathers were on the border battlefield. If they are severely punished, , worried about causing dissatisfaction among the generals.”
If you just issue an order, the effect will not be great, because this kind of gathering event only occurs twice a year, and there are many people each time, so it is impossible to target any one person.
Everyone disobeys orders, and punishment cannot fall on everyone. Moreover, even if they restrain themselves at the poetry and flower show, their attitude towards concubines in private will not change.
Yan Li's eyes were attentive, and she suddenly thought about what Emperor Tianwen said to her before.
The Jin Kingdom is a family that is more cruel, greedy, arrogant, and powerful than the Kang family... Perhaps he is not referring to a specific family, but this group of powerful children who have no bottom line and are cruel and unkind. .
Leaning in silence in the carriage for a while, Yan Li slowly nodded: "Although the Queen has been in power for more than ten years, the Jin State has been suffering from many years of abuse. This concept cannot be changed overnight."
Jiang Yi was able to secure the position of regent and empress by relying on her power skills to win over the most important people in the court, whether they were civil servants or military generals. The prerequisite was to promise them great benefits.
Even if they are loyal and upright officials who serve the country and the people, they must find ways to make them willingly do what they want. As for Jiang Yi, a woman, the rule of not being involved in politics in the harem was enforced. After a few years, she only took the step of intervening in politics. , which requires a lot of effort.
Plan the layout, work hard, and count every step you take.
She probably only knows the hard work of walking on thin ice. If she wants to completely eradicate the long-standing disadvantages in a short period of time, how easy is it?
Yan Li lowered her eyes, her eyes cold and ruthless.
In the court, it is necessary to balance power with the ministers, and to deal with the self-respecting generals requires power, but to deal with those cruel and dirty things, you only need to use force.
If the whip doesn't hit them, they will never know how painful it is.
Pain is the most effective way for a person to remember lessons.
The carriage drove slowly towards Peach Blossom Mountain in the southern suburbs.
On the wide and stretching mountain road, one carriage after another has arrived at the foot of the mountain.
There are many powerful people at the feet of the emperor.
Although Xuanjia's carriage was large, its appearance was simple and low-key, and it did not have any identity marks, so it did not attract too many people's attention.
After the carriage stopped, Xuanxuan told Ah Lu to stay in the carriage and not get out: "If you need to get off the carriage, don't forget to put on your veil."
Ah Lu responded respectfully: "Don't worry, miss, I won't do anything bad."
Yan Li and Xuan Xuan got out of the carriage and looked at some young gentlemen and ladies walking leisurely up the mountain.
The front sight is spacious and the vision is broad.
As far as you can see, the women are all covered with veils, covering their faces, and those young masters who can tell at a glance that they are either rich or noble only have two attendants, and some have beautiful women in their arms. The women hugging each other were also wearing veils, so their true faces could not be seen clearly.
Several mountain roads are winding, with pavilions and pavilions on the mountain and gurgling water.
A small stream winds down the mountain road, and the air is sober and occasionally a wisp of fragrance blows through.
"I heard that the eldest princess will also come today." People on the mountain road have already begun to discuss, "This little princess is quite young. I wonder if she will be frightened by today's battle."
"Probably not. Wouldn't you say she is very brave?"
"Surely, if she is not the queen's legitimate daughter, and the emperor is not the empress's fault for so many years, how dare she be so ignorant?"
Yan Li walked beside them. She was dressed in a man's attire that made her figure extraordinarily thin. She looked like a young master.
There was only one maid by his side, which made him look a little shabby.
With this identity, she became less and less eye-catching, and few people paid attention to her.
On the 누깊 mountain, the 눓 situation is wider.
The winding corridor was built to connect to the flower hall and pavilion. Looking around, many young men gathered in every open space.
Tables and chairs have been set up in the sky, and maids in peach pink clothes are preparing fruits and snacks.
"This year's poetry and flower show is hosted by the eldest son of the Wu'an Marquis family, and these maids are also arranged by their family." Xuan Xuan walked beside Yan Li and introduced her at the right time, "The elder brother of Wu'an Marquis's Consort De, the uncle of the current eighth prince, his son just joined the Imperial Guard this year and is the deputy commander of the Guard Camp."
Yan Li walked along the mountain road without saying a word. Along the way, there were activities such as throwing pots, archery, poetry gatherings, guessing riddles, and drinking games... There were ways to play in literature and martial arts.
However, most of these obviously scattered activities belong to those who are not proficient in every aspect but can dabble in some aspects, and are not sociable with the sons of military generals, and cannot integrate into the ranks of powerful and noble sons.
"Nephew of Concubine De?" Yan Li's eyebrows showed a thoughtful look, "What kind of person is he?"
"He doesn't easily stand out, doesn't offend people, and doesn't have any special achievements." Xuan Xuan sneered, with a bit of disdain in her tone, "Most of the time, he doesn't do anything against his conscience, and when he sees others doing something against their conscience, he won't intervene, but just stand by and watch."
Yan Li hummed, and didn't say anything more, just walking slowly in the mountains.
After passing a loft, she went straight to the second floor.
Climb up and look far.
Yan Li took a look at the scene that Xuan Xuan described when she was in the carriage.
There were several targets standing on a training ground in the south direction, and in front of each target stood a slender and delicate woman. The women were wearing red clothes and looked particularly conspicuous.
