To be honest, the county government office is really nothing good to look at. If it is placed in the Central Plains, it is just a yard of a middle-aged family, and there is no need to go in. When Yang Zeguang looked outside, he knew that the county government office would not exceed two acres of land. In the northwest, there was no other place and as much land as possible, he built the county government office so small. I think Zhenxi County is really poor.

As for the yard next to it, it looks similar to the county government. Although it cannot be said to be dilapidated, it is just built of arbitrary bricks. Not to mention anything else, the door panels that are not even painted can be shown that this family is very poor!

However, the girl standing at the door added a bright color to the tattered yard. She saw that the girl was wearing a cotton coat made of black cloth. The cotton coat was very bloated, making her look petite and delicate. She was wearing black leather boots on her feet, and the boots were very clean, but it looked old at first glance. The style was not obvious whether it was a woman or a man. It was very big and probably didn't fit her feet.

The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she doesn't wear a hat on the cold weather. Her hair is loose and she is not fat. Her face is red with cold, her eyes are big, her eyebrows are slender, and her nose and mouth are very small. If she is placed in Chang'an, she dresses up well. She is really a beautiful girl, very cute!

Yang Ze thought to himself: "This is not the place where the former prince lives, is this little girl the little princess? Oh my god, what kind of life did the former princess live? The little princess's clothes are not as good as the maids of wealthy families. Could it be that Queen Dugu didn't send a few servants to her son and let her family live such a life? This is simply unbelievable!"

Before Yang Ze got off the horse, the girl sniffed, sniffed, and then said, "Uncle Hao, are you catching the robber? Are these people the merchants you saved?" The voice was crisp, but the expression on her face looked a bit like a boy, with no care, and no girl's shyness. Even after seeing a stranger, the girl's at least shyness was owed!

Hao Weifeng turned over and dismounted and smiled and said, "Little princess, there are no robbers, they are from Chang'an. Lord Yang came from Chang'an, he is..."

Before he could finish speaking, the little princess screamed, turned around and ran into the yard, and shouted as she ran: "Father, Mother, someone is here in Chang'an. She is an adult named Yang! She is here with many people!"

Hao Weifeng just said the second half of the sentence: "He is the new county magistrate! Alas, little princess, why are you running so fast? Don't scare the prince!"

Yang Ze got off the horse and said, "That's the little princess? The prince should be very old, why did he give birth to such a young princess?"

When he was in the capital, he had seen the eldest princess and the Xiangwang. He was not young anymore. As for the Queen Dugu, the eldest prince was the eldest princess and the Xiangwang's elder brother, and he was even more in his fifties. A person of such an old age gave birth to such a young daughter, which was nothing for the former prince, but for the princess, it might not be easy!

Hao Weifeng said: "The little princess was born on the way to our place and grew up in the west of the town. In fact, the prince is not too old. She is very strong!"

Yang Ze made up his clothes and walked towards the yard with Hao Weifeng, but as soon as they entered the yard, they heard a woman's voice sounding inside, and the woman shouted: "Prince, wait first, don't hang yourself first!"

Yang Ze was shocked and said, "What happened? Before he entered the door, someone in the room wanted to hang himself. It was the prince. Isn't that the former prince? The former prince wants to hang himself. What did he say this?

Yang Ze was panicked and ran in quickly. He saw that the door of the main house in the yard was open. There were three people in the room. One of them was the girl standing at the gate of the yard just now, and the other was an old woman in her fifties and gray hair. The old woman was also wearing a black cotton coat.

In the middle of the room, under the beams and on the bench, there was an old man with gray hair, wearing a black cotton coat, holding a black belt in his hand, throwing the belt into the room, and it seemed that he was really going to hang himself!

The old man threw his belt and cried, "It's better to break it by waiting for my mother to strangle me to death. I'm born in the imperial family, and I have no choice, but if I die, I won't let myself die by myself. Then I will be too cowardly in this life. No matter what, I am the son of my father, and I have been the emperor!"

Yang Ze quickly shouted: "Prince, the emperor is not the one sent by the emperor to strangle you, but the new county magistrate!"

While he was shouting, the little princess also shouted: "Father, your belt is not long enough. Didn't you test it when you hang yourself a few times? This one doesn't work, change it!"

"I don't have any other belt...ah, wasn't it the imperial envoy sent by my mother to kill me?" The old man came to his senses and stopped crying, looking down at Yang Ze who came in.

Yang Ze quickly stepped forward and helped the old man off the bench. In his busy schedule, he even glanced at the little princess, was there any mistake? Your father is going to hang himself, and you are still talking sarcastic words!

But the little princess didn't care at all. She had seen her father hanging many times, but she didn't succeed any time. Besides, the longer ropes at home were thrown away by her mother. Even if her father wanted to hang himself, she didn't have enough ropes. She couldn't even think about successfully hanging him!

The little princess also stepped forward to support her father and said, "It's a good life, but I'm thinking about hanging myself all day long. It's really a worry. OK, stop making trouble, I'll make you meat tonight!"

But the old man said, "I don't want to chew bones!"

Yang Ze's chin almost fell to the ground. Is this really the former prince? He was rescued from hanging and thinking about eating pork belly!

The old woman next to her is the princess, the former crown princess, the former queen, and the current northwest old woman! Of course, the princess is not young anymore, she is in her fifties, older than the eldest princess. Although she is wearing a black cloth cotton coat, she is very clean. She is wearing a silver hairpin on her head and silver earrings on her ears. However, after more than ten years of hard life, she still leaves traces on her face, and wrinkles on her forehead and corners of her eyes.

The princess is not as heartless as the father and daughter. She said to Yang Ze: "You are the new county magistrate? Why are you so young? You wouldn't force our family to farm, right?"

Yang Ze was stunned, turned around, bowed to the princess, shook his head and said, "How could it be? No matter how bad the servant is, it is impossible for you to force your family to farm. This makes no sense. The servant will never do such a thing!"

The princess' eyes lit up and said, "Have the emperor changed his order? Don't force us to become independent?"

Force you to be independent and reliant? I have never heard of this before. It may be the will of the past!

Yang Ze didn't know how Queen Dugu repaired her eldest son before. In fact, it had been more than ten years since the incident. Except for the former Prince's family in the northwest, others have long forgotten what happened before, and even Queen Dugu himself wouldn't care.

When Empress Dugu had just driven his eldest son off the throne, he was sent here. At that time, eunuchs and palace maids were accompanied. Empress Dugu once ordered that his eldest son be reborn independently, so that he could understand the hard work of the people and let him farm and support himself. He did not give him any money, nor did he have the salary of the prince like the prime minister in the capital.

The former prince was very obedient at the beginning, but he lived a pampered life for decades and was middle-aged. It was not possible for him to learn farming. So he didn't want to farm until he worked for a long time. The eunuchs and palace maids followed him a few years ago. It was obvious that he could not return to the throne, so he ran away, leaving only the three of them. The successive county magistrates also asked the former prince to go to the ground to farm according to the order, but in other words, they did not really let him go to the ground to work, but they did not give their family support. After all, their family is like a prisoner. Even if they are not real prisoners, the county magistrate is a miserable official and does not think that the former prince can make a comeback. Why should he support him? If the eldest prince finds out, wouldn't it be bad!

If Yang Ze left Beijing normally, the eldest princess would definitely call him and give him instructions. Yang Ze would know how to get along with the former prince, but he suddenly left Beijing, so he naturally lacked this procedure. Of course, even if he knew that he would force the former prince and let the former prince go to work, he would not do this!

After hearing the princess’ question, Yang Ze hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course not. The prince, the princess and the little princess are all golden branches and jade leaves. How can the official let you work? Not only can he not, the official also brought a lot of gifts to you, and he wants to offer them!"

The little princess screamed, her face full of joy, and she shouted: "Are the big cars outside all gifts? Are they all for us?" She ran out immediately without waiting for Yang Ze's answer and went to see the big cars!

The former old prince was surprised when he heard this and asked Yang Ze: "Have the emperor changed his order? Don't punish me again?"

Yang Ze shook his head and said, "It's the idea of ​​the Xiaguan. Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away... Of course, this is still the emperor's land, but since the Xiaguan is here, of course, the Xiaguan has the final say. You can't let you suffer anymore!"

When the former old prince heard this, his eyes turned red, he patted Yang Ze and said, "You, you are a good person!"

The former crown prince's old man was named Li Yan. He lived in the shadow of his mother all his life. Because he could not do anything, he was more easy-going and not serious. Fortunately, he was so. If someone else had changed, he would not be able to live in such an environment for so many years, such as the eldest princess.

Li Yan had already cut off the idea of ​​returning to Beijing. So many life like prisoners made him feel that he could survive, but his ancestors were protected, so how could he have the idea of ​​going back to be an emperor? Besides, he had a lot of brothers and sisters, and they all wanted him to die. Although he lived a hard life, he was still alive. Isn’t this a kind of luck in itself! So, he was quite content and thought it would be good to be alive!

But the princess didn't think so. She expressed her excitement and asked again: "Then, does the emperor have the will to let us return to Beijing? The emperor... the emperor is so old, and his health... isn't it okay?" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
