Chapter 99 Lixin

"Out of the palace."

Ying Wu left the emperor's bedroom and whispered to a servant waiting outside the bedroom.

The attendant was slightly stunned and said softly: "No arrangements have been made today, so I will leave the palace directly..."

"If my father doesn't let me die, no one in Changling City can make me die." Ying Wu shook his head and smiled mockingly.

The old man on the sickbed was still the most terrifying and powerful person in the city at this time.

The attendant could not fully understand Ying Wu's words, but he could hear Ying Wu's confidence.

So he stopped talking.

A carriage slowly left the palace.

Yingwu is in the carriage.

This is probably the first time in the past few years that he has not hidden his own actions and has left the palace openly.

The same noon sunshine seems particularly warm and full of vitality today.

A man in a commoner was waiting for him outside the palace.

The carriage was parked not far from the man in a civilized state.

Ying Wu did not get off the carriage, but just greeted the man in the civilian in the carriage and said, "I have met Lord Shang."

The man in a common man was a little restrained and said slightly a little accustomed: "I am just a slut, not an adult."

"But you're different from today."

Ying Wu looked at the other party and smiled and said, "My father has already rewarded Shangmi and Zhongzhong to you. You have been granted the title of Shangjun, which is equivalent to the royal family. From today on, even my royal family cannot punish you casually."

The man in a civilian body was shocked. He had already guessed that reform was a must, but he did not expect that the old emperor on the sickbed would be so determined.

"Today, when my father saw me, he said to me personally that this reform is more important than any of his sons."

Ying Wu looked at him gently and whispered: "So Lord Shang, please let go."

The man in a civilian took a deep breath and gave another big gift seriously.

"What he cares about is reform, what I care about is reform. You are very smart, you should understand this." Ying Wu looked at the man in a civilian deeply and said, "Your words and deeds are destined to be recorded in history books. So, where do you start next?"

"Li Xin."

The moment the man in the civilian raised his head, Shenrong became firm. He seemed to have an answer in his heart, and he answered two words in an extremely simple manner.

"Li Xin?" Ying Wu carefully recalled the meaning of these two words.

"Fish move when they see food, and people do when they see profit."

The man in a commoner nodded, "So you can't rush to issue a decree. Just let people know that a new decree is about to be promulgated. At the same time, this reformer needs to be convinced and let the vast majority of people in Changling know that as they do, it is indeed beneficial to get it."

Ying Wu nodded supremely: "Today, the rewards related to you will be announced."

The man in a commoner said seriously: "Tomorrow morning, I will erect a long wood outside the Nanmen Market. I will tell you that if anyone can move this long wood outside the Northmen Market, I will give you ten gold."

Ying Wu thought about it and smiled, "That long wood shouldn't be difficult to move?"

"It's just long enough to attract attention." The man in the civilian knew that Ying Wu had understood what he thought, and smiled, "But the weight is not heavy. Even ordinary people, as long as they are not overly weak women, should be able to move."

"You fought a war in Hexi before you arrived in Changling?" The carriage began to move. Before saying goodbye and leaving, Ying Wu's voice gently entered the ears of the man in a civilian.

The man in a common man's face changed slightly and said seriously: "Too many people have died, so he is particularly clear about how painful and unfair it is for those who are brave enough to die for the country to get what they deserve. All laws must first make people feel fair."

...

In the early morning, countless roosters crowed and dogs barked in the streets and alleys of Changling.

In some of the most luxurious courtyards in Changling, many of the great figures that ordinary people have only heard of in legends have not been asleep for a night.

A middle-aged man in white uniform walked out of the study door, stood under the eaves, looking at an extremely tall persimmon tree in the courtyard, standing with his hands behind his back, listening to countless sounds of waking up in the streets and alleys in the distance.

"Sir, since the news has been confirmed, what are you really not going to do?" A strategist who had been following him for many years understood what he was thinking at this moment.

"This persimmon tree is the largest persimmon tree in Changling. Whether in Guanzhong or Changling, the persimmon tree is a good thing and everything goes well. At that time, my father came to Changling to settle the land, so he fell in love with this persimmon tree. He bought it for a lot of money and built the house here."

The middle-aged man looked very young and looked like a jade face. However, when he recalled the past and smiled faintly, wrinkles inevitably appeared on the corners of his eyes: "My Gongsun family is the largest among all the families of Changling. In the eyes of many people, since the reform has been completed, my Gongsun family will naturally bear the brunt and suffer the greatest losses. But just like this persimmon tree, if it is like the other persimmon trees in Changling, it will be broken, even if it grows poorly, compared with all the persimmon trees in Changling, it will still be the largest. Since it is already the largest, why force it?"

...

In the morning light, later, in another deep courtyard, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was using breakfast to stop.

Listening to the reward of a visitor, his eyes fell to the south of the city.

From the courtyard where he was, he could not see the standing wood outside the Nanmen Market, but he was too familiar with the city. Although he sat in this deep courtyard, he seemed to be sitting in the downtown area, near the standing wood.

"Want to establish a letter?"

The middle-aged man smiled with emotion.
