The child who was talking was wearing a few sizes smaller, a light green robe and a brocade belt, which was very obedient and cute. His head was looking diagonally upwards, and his eyes were flashing and looked particularly bright.

Just around this child, there were actually more than a dozen strong-armed men wearing strong suits and strong bodies squeezing towards the front without hesitation, blocking the child and the people watching around. There were shadows everywhere, and some men who seemed to be pedestrians were also paying attention to the every move of the idle people here.

Some peddlers were squeezed aside, turned around and stared at them and wanted to scold them, but they saw the burly men with evil spirits on their faces. They could tell that they were hard to mess with... The dirty words that rushed to their mouths were swallowed back into their stomachs.

The little hand that the child stretched out was also firmly held in his palm by himself. Some people around him heard childish voices asking questions. Since the Wei Dynasty was stable and the people were prosperous, there were still people who had to sell themselves to bury their father. They didn't know how to lower their voices, and their tone was like a little adult... Several people looked back curiously, but they didn't care.

The person holding this child was Li Tianqu, the Emperor of Wei Dynasty. The child he brought in was of course Li Jixian, his fourth son.

Originally, Li Tianqu thought that even though Li Jixian was still young, he was over the age of remembering, so he should leave the palace and see the world more often. And as his father, who left the palace in a very short time, could answer his questions and answer questions at any time.

However, according to Li Tianqu’s original idea, he took Li Jixian’s bustling and bustling city in Bianjing for a while, and did not intend to let his young son see the miserable and miserable side of the people now.

However, the plan did not change quickly. Since he had encountered such a scene, Li Tianqu saw his son curious and looked straight towards him... In this matter, he naturally had to teach him carefully. Then he leaned over slightly, lowered his voice slightly, and said to Li Jixian:

"A few days ago, you also heard from the teacher that the Zhenguan rule during the previous dynasty Emperor Taizong was in the Zhenguan rule. The court was frugal and frugal, and the disaster relief was polite. Some people praised such rulers and revitalized the past. But have you ever known that Wei Zheng, the wise prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a letter to the Zhenguan rule. He was exhausted from labor service since the beginning of the year, and the people in Guanzhong were particularly ill...

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was serious about floods and droughts. Although the Tang court used tax reduction, amnesty, disaster relief, etc. to help the victims, some people were still displaced and suffered from disasters. The so-called wise ruler in the world actually wanted to make most people under their rule eat enough and live a peaceful life.

Although I ask myself about my diligence, I dare not say that I will not pick up the remains of my journey, and I will not close my doors at night, and everyone will be happy and worry-free. But there will still be hunger, cold and miserable people. Although those who work for the country and the family will not worry about poverty but unevenness... Unless it is the ancient times of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the kings and the kings and the kings and the kings and the kings will be divided into officials and ministers, and the three religions and the nine classes will inevitably have unevenness and unfairness.

However, as a ruler, for the stability of the country, you must always remember that even if you think the country is peaceful and stable and the treasury is full, there will still be poor people. If you think you can enjoy peace and be lazy in political affairs... then there will be more and more people who have no livelihood and have to resist the court. The previous dynasty experienced the world of rule, prosperity and chaos, which was the lesson of the past. Now you see a woman who sold herself to her father with her brother, and she felt it was rare, but do you know what the scene was like in the late Tang Dynasty?"

Li Tianqu talked happily, and then said with emotion:

"When my father was still exploring among the people, in the chaotic times of the previous dynasty, every place he went, he saw every family selling his wives and daughters, or even changing his sons to eat each other. When Huang Chao killed people, Qin Zongquan killed people, Sun Ru killed people, and Li Hanzhi killed people... Now even if there are miserable people under our dynasty, they can still seek peace. However, countless people were hungry and cold when they were alive, but they were still swallowed by the cruel warlords, fierce soldiers and thieves, and flesh, and flesh..."

When Li Jixian heard this, his face turned pale. The little hand held by Li Tianqu couldn't help but clench it a little bit again. However, he pursed his lips, and he didn't hear scary stories like an ordinary child and couldn't help crying. It seemed that he should keep calm in front of his father as much as possible.

"Do not go away! Don't get in the way! Oh? There is still a corpse, which is bad luck! You girl, you occupy the streets and alleys to put out corpses, which is bad luck, and you invade the streets and disorderly disciplines. I wonder if this is a violation of the king's law?"

Suddenly, four or five clerks from the municipal department saw the crowds of people here and hurried over to find out. After a little inquiry, they learned that someone was selling themselves to bury their father here. The leader also shouted loudly, pushing the onlookers with several colleagues, and colliding with Li Tianqu, Li Jixian and his son, who were about ten steps apart from each other.

As the boy snuggled up to the girl, he saw the vicious and fierce attitude of the clerks, he kept crying even harder. The girl lay on the ground and begged for mercy:

"Official, please be fine. The little girl is waiting for a kind-hearted master to pay money to bury his father. I hope to be given a grace later!"

The clerk in charge heard this, but glared and scolded:

"You woman, I don't know what happened! But I don't know that our court has enacted legislation to strictly prohibit private transactions. Even if you are willing to be a maid, your Majesty has reformed the system to prohibit trafficking, seduce, and force women to be slaves; even the official office sends officials to check whether the employer has committed evil deeds such as killing, invading, and abuse of maids... Those who are willing to be maids must go to the official office to record the records, state the reasons, and then recommend the buyer from the official office! Even if there are already families who are willing to accept you as maids, they must go to the official office to verify their identity.

Even if you are willing to sell yourself, your parents will die. Don’t go to the department office to record the documents first, and then look for the official contract and sign the documents. Who dares to buy you? In public, you saw the body dragged into the downtown area. In the future, the situation will turn into rot and smelly. If the epidemic is transmitted, do you know what crime should you be? Take it away quickly, otherwise, even a woman of your age will not talk about any kindness!"

"It's outrageous!"

Seeing the clerks scolding the poor brothers and brothers who wanted to sell themselves to bury their father, Li Jixian shouted in anger. However, Li Tianqu held his little hand and pinched it slightly, and Li Jixian lowered his voice. The people around him were all watching the excitement, and their attention was attracted by the clerks and brothers, and they did not notice that there was another boy here who was indignant...

Li Jixian was still angry. He looked at his father and said angrily:

"My son... I heard that when the dynasty of the past dynasties were in a state of disrespect, the evil officials in the previous dynasty were particularly evil! Filial piety was the first priority for all virtues. These brothers and sisters were miserable and pitiful, and they knew that they would be buried with their fathers and be filial. But these clerks had no compassion, so why couldn't they understand the suffering of the people?"

However, Li Tianqu looked at his youngest son who was about to stand up for something, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in his eyes, but he still shook his head:

"While the clerk's tone is shaky, I would like to ask you, according to the laws and regulations of our dynasty, the order of the city is governed by the yamen, the order of the city is governed by the merchants, and the office is half a foot outside the house, and the supervision of the city is governed by the municipal government... According to the examples of the "Tang Law Commentary" of the previous dynasty, even those who invade alleys and streets should be punished by seventy. The supervisor's official saw someone putting corpses in the downtown area, so he came to deal with it according to law. What's wrong with this?

Even if the clerks in the municipal government office were pitiful of the situation of the siblings, they could not leave the room behind. They waited for someone to fund the girl to bury her father and take her as a maid. They should indeed be in charge of this matter. Our court allowed the hiring of maids, but human trafficking was a serious crime. The law was indeed set for the father. This girl just didn't know the law and was eager to be buried in peace as soon as possible... But if she was really bought by someone and was not recorded by the official office, how could you know the future situation of the siblings?"

After hearing what his father said, Li Jixian was stunned. Some things seemed to him at his age, but at this time, Li Jixian vaguely realized that governing the country and pacifying the world was indeed not as simple as he thought...
