Chapter 193: The Emperor Who Opens Up

Han Zhiwei originally thought she went to the Changping War Criminal Management Office directly, but after agreeing to meet Zhu Youlang, she was taken to the east by Li Junhua, at the foot of Changrui Mountain in Zunhua. As the emperor's tomb, it began to be repaired and expanded since the second year of the empire. Because it was carried out on the basis of the tomb of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, it was very fast. The empire had already been carried out in the sixth year, but no one would report that the construction of the Wannian lucky land was completed and no one could bear the reputation of "wishing the emperor's death". Therefore, the Good Land was constantly being built and never stopped. The war criminals of the Changping War Criminal Management Office were the main labor force responsible for maintaining the Wannian lucky land.

All the flowers, plants and trees in Jidi were planted and maintained by war criminals. After the autumn harvest, a batch of pine and cypress were planted again. This type of plant is relatively cold-resistant, so the survival rate in autumn is higher. In addition to work, war criminals also collected pine nuts and walnuts from Jidi, which was a little harvest.

When Han Zhiwei and Li Junhua arrived, the work team had already finished work. More than 50 people from this team came from Changping and now they have to go back. Although Li Junhua went to see Zhu Youlang several times, because they always met in private, most of them didn't know each other. At this time, Li Junhua and the two were dressed as guards, carrying boxes in their hands, which seemed to be seen on weekdays. The guards sent by the current queen to deliver things, the group of people did not doubt him, but just wanted to wait for the guards to leave to see if they could divide them.

When he came, the big cart carrying saplings became the vehicle for the work team. Zhu Youlang received special treatment and enjoyed a big cart with Li Junhua and Han Zhiwei. Of course, there were many newly picked pine nuts on the cart, and Zhu Youlang came to drive the cart in person. From his whip and shouting, he could see that he was already familiar with it. Han Zhiwei was sitting in the cart, and his heart was even more violent than the bumps in her body. She couldn't believe that the middle-aged man who was driving the car in front of her was Yongli, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

".........We worked hard for a long time, but in the end it was the same person who enjoyed it. I lost a lot......"

"What are we losing money? Is it the most? Is it?"

"Amitabha, don't joke anymore..."

A car passed by, and the people in the car were chatting happily. They were middle-aged men. They seemed to be joking about one of the bald men. The man clasped his hands together and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha. Han Zhiwei was not sure about this, and Zhu Youlang, who was driving the car, spoke: "That Master Wuse is the Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. He became a monk at the end of last year and called himself a Zen Master Wuse. The lucky place we repaired was originally the mausoleum of Shunzhi..."

Han Zhiwei couldn't help but stretched her neck to see. When she was young, Shunzhi was a devil and monster in the mouths of teachers, but she never wanted to look so honest. Zhu Youlang had already seen that she was a girl and said, "Junhua, why do you have a female guard?"

Li Junhua smiled and said, "Uncle, this is a classmate of Child. He has long heard of Changping. Child brought her to see her......"

Zhu Youlang looked back and saw Han Zhiwei's beautiful beauty and Li Junhua personally brought it, so he knew it was not as simple as his classmates. Zhu Youlang said: "Don't let your mother, father know, and my uncle won't talk too much."

Li Junhua was just thinking about this and thanked him repeatedly. However, he saw that his uncle was dressed in a pretty straight manner, while the rest seemed to be no different from beggars. Not only did the uniforms turn white, but there were many patches, and a pair of shoes were also repaired and repaired. So he asked, "Uncle, the child hasn't been here for a year. Why do they look like this? Is the management office short of funds?"

Zhu Youlang smiled: "They are all activists, so do activists have to look like activists?"

Li Junhua was puzzled. Zhu Youlang explained that in the past seven or eight years, the War Criminal Management Office had to pardon some people out during the Daqing ceremony, and the emperor's birthday was also the time for pardon. In the War Criminal Management Office, there was a point system where people who performed well became activists, and among the activists, points were determined based on various contributions. The top three people with points were those who could be pardoned every year, which also contributed to the unhealthy trends of the management office. It should be noted that saving is a virtue, and every time you get a pair of shoes and a coat, you can increase points. For this reason, this group of people became the most economical people. In the new three years and the old three years, the sewing and repairing for another three years. In Zhu Youlang's words, a pair of shoes was unwilling to throw them to the point of "long ginger in front and eggs laid behind".

As for why Zhu Youlang was not like this, it goes without saying that he was the emperor of the previous dynasty and he could not be pardoned no matter how good he performed.

After rushing all night, it was not possible to get from Zunhua to Changping. At night, he found a temple to stay at the same time. Han Zhiwei quietly looked at the group of people and found that they were very disciplined and even had to report to the manager when they went to the toilet. Moreover, there were only three people in charge of the fifty war criminals. The war criminals were not shackled, and none of them fled.

The temple seemed to have served them, and only served one meal. When they entered the temple, they took a short rest and drank water, and then started to help. Some people chop firewood, some people carry water, some people help repair the house, and even cooking without slaughtering others. Even the pits were cleaned. It was extremely rule to stay at night. They had a harmonious relationship with others and tolerated each other. When Han Zhiwei saw this, she thought she had come to the Datong World.

"Except for me and Zen Master Wuse, everyone in the work team performed the best. Whether they were sincere or false, as long as they did it, they would do it to the end." Zhu Youlang sat around the fire and said with a smile.

"Why don't you try and maybe you can be free?" Han Zhiwei asked.

Zhu Youlang looked at Han Zhiwei, smiled and said, "In the first three years of my entry into Changping, I decided that I would not be forgiven for anything I did, so I never talk about freedom. In the next few years, I already felt that I was free. In the management office, although I was under control, everything I did was beneficial. I could plant wheat and relied on my own, or plant chrysanthemums and flowers. I could write whatever I wanted, read whatever I wanted, I could quarrel with others, debate with others, occasionally I could come out to relax and communicate with others. In the past few decades, this was the most free time, at least much more free than when I was Emperor Yongli.

When you talk about going out, why do I want to go out? When I walk out of Changping, I am still willing to talk to me. The only thing I have done to me is the sister in the palace, Junhua, this silly boy, but in Changping, I have countless friends...."

"But once you get pardon, you can do whatever you want." Han Zhiwei said.

"Is that so? Have you ever done anything you want to do in the past ten years?" Zhu Youlang asked back, seeing her not answering: "I have never had any memories when I was born. Later, I became an emperor and became a puppet, at the mercy of others. I have never been free, I can't imagine that feeling, nor have I ever met someone who enjoyed that freedom.

In Changping, my best friend is Zen Master Wuse. He was much better than me when he was emperor, but when he talked about that time, it seemed like he was about the same as me. I was at the mercy of others, and he was constrained by the overall situation. We thought about these years and discussed these years, and only reached a common view. Freedom never did what we wanted to do, that's all." Zhu Youlang was very calm when he talked about these things. Han Zhiwei thought about it.

"Amitabha..." The Buddha's name woke people up.

When Li Junhua saw that the person who was coming was Zen Master Wuse, he stood up vigilantly, and Han Zhiwei also instinctively touched her back. Among so many people, the only one who recognized Li Junhua was except Zhu Youlang, Shunzhi.

"Donor, I have no evil intentions. I just saw that you are the current prince. I want to inquire about something. I am ashamed of saying that I am shallow in Buddhism, and I am really worried about the past......" Zen Master Wuse took two steps back and lowered his head and said.

Li Junhua smiled and said, "The master has something to say."

Zen Master Wuse sat cross-legged on the ground, asking about his family's safety. He directly asked about his mother Bu Mubutaike's last words. Seeing that he was sincere, Li Junhua said, "I was by his side before Lingtang died..."

After saying that, Li Junhua said what Bumubutai said before his death. Hearing that Bumubutai used aggressive methods to instigate the emperor to destroy the entire Manchu clan before his death, he never mentioned his son, who had not seen him for many years. Wuseu was silent for a long time, wiped his tears, said a quarrel, and left.

"Maybe he has become a monk today." Zhu Youlang said lightly.

Li Junhua smiled without saying a word, took out the mooncakes and snacks made by the queen and let Zhu Youlang taste them. Zhu Youlang ate some and asked, "You brought this little girl to see me, not just to give me some snacks."

"I encountered a problem, please ask Uncle Yu." Li Junhua said seriously, telling the story of the emperor's reward for his contribution to cleaning Shangtun. As for provoking the Japanese civil war, he knew that Zhu Youlang was kind-hearted and ignored it. Finally, he said: "The father gave me a grace, but he asked for it, all of them were for gratitude. My queen of the mother always hoped that you could leave Changping and restore your freedom..."

"Your mother always thinks about this, but she doesn't think about it. Can I be free after leaving Changping? She just locked me up from a large mansion and into a small mansion, and replaced these friends around me with servants and guards who monitor me." Zhu Youlang was still a little frustrated when he said it.

Seeing that Li Junhua didn't say anything, he said again: "Since you are in a dilemma, there is at least one thing left. It's not this little girl."

"It's not all..." Li Junhua didn't hide it and told Han Junyi and others about it, just to ignore the relationship between Han Zhiwei and Han Junyi.

Zhu Youlang thought for a while and said, "No one in the world can guess your father's thoughts. If you beg him to release the orphans of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't he beg you?"

"I definitely don't know. In fact, my father never wants to make things difficult for these people." Li Junhua said.

Zhu Youlang nodded: "Since that's the case, please use this grace on them. Although those of them have nothing to do with me, many of them have ulterior motives, they always use the name of my Zhu family, and many of them are loyal ministers of the Zhu family. Since they have this opportunity, it's okay to save them."

"But if you use this time, my uncle......" Li Junhua hesitated a little.

Zhu Youlang shook his head slowly and said, "It turns out that I don't want to tell you about these things, but you are too indecisive in your work. Although you are the prince's honor now, as long as your father is still there, you will not be free. Everyone says it is difficult for you. Those who are officials say it is difficult for you to be an official, and those who are generals say it is difficult for you. Zen Master Wuse originally thought that the most difficult thing in the world is to be an emperor, but I have seen through it over the years. The most difficult thing in the world is to be a prince. Fortunately, your father is virtuous and open-minded, otherwise how could you be better?

I just said that even if I go out, I am restricted. I am not free. What is the difference between going out and not going out? If you really want to get the kind of life your mother wants, there is only one way, that is, you will become the emperor, and there is no other way."

"I understand, thank you for your reminder, uncle." Li Junhua said.

Zhu Youlang nodded and then said, "Don't let your mother know about this. Her temperament, if you know that you can help your uncle but don't, even if it's what I mean, she will feel very unhappy."

The two no longer talked about this matter. When talking about Zhu Youlang's family, although Zhu Youlang entered the war criminal management office, the empire did not make things difficult for his family. Instead, they gave his sons a title, but they all lived around Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing and were not allowed to go in and out at will on weekdays. When Li Junhua went to Jiangnan this time, he made a special trip to visit them. However, because he did not come and go for many years and was not intimate with each other, Li Junhua agreed to contact him and let his family in Nanjing come and pay tribute to the ancestors of the former Ming Dynasty.

This is also the only thing Li Junhua can make up for.

On the second day, Zhu Youlang said that he would not take the same car with Li Junhua, because his uncle could not drive the car for his nephew, but Li Junhua didn't know how to drive the car, so he could only go on a horse. Han Zhiwei didn't like riding horses and wanted to ride a car, but Zhu Youlang didn't let her get on the car, because the man and woman were in the same car, which made Han Zhiwei laugh. After the two agreed not to take the car, Zhu Youlang said that he could not drive the empty car, and his car would not pull people, and that the dwarfs were the first.

In short, Zhu Youlang was a fallacy and asked for a horse from Li Junhua to ride. In the end, he also achieved two major goals. One was able to ride a horse to show off in front of his friends, and the other was to drive his nephew and the beautiful little girl to a horse.

"You said, one day you completed your great cause and restored Zhu Ming, can you still ask my uncle to go back to be the emperor?" Li Junhua asked half-truely with his arms around Han Zhiwei.
