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 royal families competing for the heir apparent, concubines competing for favor, brothers killing each other, and officials plotting against each other... at least they were all for their own benefit.

She has also been exposed to unprovoked hostility, such as the princesses and noble daughters of the Mu Kingdom.

But this was the first time she had heard of a beast that was so crazy that it treated people as human beings just for the sake of excitement.

Yan Li could only sigh that his knowledge was shallow and he had never heard of it.

She thought that the behavior of Kang Zixu, the legitimate son of the Kang family, was enough to make people angry, but she didn't expect that there were even more scum that opened her eyes - and they dared to be so blatant under the emperor's feet. Tianlai Novel Network

This shows how daring he is.

"These people, with their status as prominent and powerful people, 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 I, the princess, are here today, they are doomed. You have to pay for your actions.”

Xuan Xuan frowned slightly: "No matter how much the eldest princess hates 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, the consequences would be disastrous given the madness of those people.

"The Queen can't do anything to them?" Yan Li frowned, "Are these people really that brave?"

"The main reason is that the law does not punish everyone." Xuan Xuan sighed, "Moreover, most of the children of these generals come from noble families, some are Gyeonggi Guards, some are from the Royal Forest Army, and some of their fathers are on the border battlefield. If they are severely punished, I am worried. It caused dissatisfaction among the generals.”

If you just issue an order, it will not have much effect, because this kind of gathering event only happens 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, and even if they restrain themselves at the poetry party, their attitude towards concubines in private will not change.

Yan Li's eyes were attentive, and she suddenly thought of what the former Emperor Tianwen said to her.

There is another family in the Jin Kingdom 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 silently in the carriage for a while, Yan Li nodded slowly: "Although the Queen has been in power for more than ten years, the long-standing abuses of the Jin Kingdom have been going on for hundreds of years. This concept cannot be changed overnight."

Jiang Yi was able to secure the position of Queen Regent by relying on her power skills to win over and balance the available people in the court - whether they were civil servants or military generals, the prerequisite was to promise them great benefits.

Even honest officials who are loyal to the country and the people must find ways to make them willing to be used by themselves. Jiang Yi is a woman. After hundreds of years of implementation of the rule that she was not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem, she only took the step of intervening in politics. It requires a lot of energy.

Plan the layout, work hard, and count every step you take.

Probably only she herself knows the hard work of walking on thin ice. How easy is it to completely eradicate the long-standing shortcomings in a short period of time?

Yan Li lowered her eyes, her eyes cold and ruthless.

To deal with ministers in the court requires a balance of power, and to deal with self-respecting generals requires power, but to deal with those cruel and dirty things, you only need to use force.

Unless the whip hits them, they will never know how painful it is.

Pain is the most effective way to make a person remember a lesson.

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, Xuan Xuan 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 off the carriage and saw some young men and ladies walking leisurely up the mountain.

The terrain in front of you is spacious and the view is wide.

As far as you can see, the women are all covered with veils, covering their faces. Among the young masters who can tell at a glance that they are either rich or noble, some only bring two followers, some have beautiful women in their arms, and those who are 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." Someone on the mountain road has already begun to discuss, "This little princess is quite young. I wonder if she will be frightened by today's battle."

"Probably not. Doesn't it mean that she is very brave?"

"It's just that she is lustful. If she is not the queen's legitimate daughter, and the emperor and the queen have been in debt for so many years, how dare she be so ignorant?"

Yan Li was walking beside them. She was dressed in a man's attire, which made her figure extremely thin. At first glance, she looked like an underage young master.

There was only one maid by his side, which made him look a bit shabby.

This identity became less and less eye-catching, so few people noticed her.

When we reach the mountain, the terrain becomes wider.

The nine-curved corridor was built to connect to the flower hall and pavilion. Looking around, many young masters gathered in every open space.

Tables and chairs have been set up on the open space, 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, "Wu'an Marquis is the elder brother of the Empress Defei and 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 for both literary and martial arts.

However, these were obviously more scattered activities, and most of them belonged to those who were not proficient in each but could dabble in some, and who were not sociable with the children of military generals, and could not integrate into the ranks of powerful and noble sons.

"Nephew of Concubine De?" Yan Li's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. "What kind of person is he?"

"He doesn't easily show off, doesn't offend anyone, 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 that loses his conscience. When he sees others doing something that loses 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.

When she reached a loft, she went up to the second floor.

Looking far from a height.

Yan Li saw the scene that Xuan Xuan had described in the carriage at a glance.

There were several targets standing on a training ground in the south, and in front of each target stood a slender and weak woman. The women were dressed in red and looked particularly conspicuous.
