Chapter 433: Foundation
Daming Palace Harem. Wu Hui lazily leaned under the eaves to watch the snow, and there was a famous shadow guard kneeling behind her, who was reporting something to her, and when she heard Wu Hui's phoenix eyes, her smile spread silently.
"Congratulations to me Wei, the king will come out. β
β¦β¦
The grass house of the mountains is wrapped in silver. Bai Xiaosheng had carved a hole in the frozen lake, and was holding a straight fishing rod comfortably, trying to catch some winter fish to stew.
Behind him stood Liu Zhen, dignified Mr. Fulong, but at the moment he was like a child, while wearing earthworm bait for Bai Xiaosheng, he whispered: "News from Chang'an City, Xin Yi took the order to walk in the inner court and went to the Linde Palace. β
Bai Xiaosheng's eyes flashed, and the fishing rod trembled, as if a fish had bitten the bait, which made Bai Xiaosheng laugh violently.
"Congratulations to me Wei, the king will come out. β
β¦β¦
In the warm pavilion next to the Lin De Hall. More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids surrounded Li He, changing court clothes for him, wearing dragon crowns, and wearing court beads, making the final preparations before the great court.
A fresh breeze blew into the temple. Li He suddenly retreated from everyone, and then glanced at the caisson, where a brocade guard appeared at some point, ghostly stepped forward and whispered something to Li He.
Li He smiled suddenly, and the corners of his white temples welled up with tears in the corners of his eyes, which reflected the Snow Palace and Ice Palace outside the window.
"Congratulations to me Wei, the king will come out. β
β¦β¦
At the same time, as Xin Yi stepped into the Daming Palace every time, the news suddenly spread to every corner of the chess game with the passing of every night owl.
At the same time, from the mouths of all players, whether they hate or receive, they all said the same sentence.
"Congratulations to me Wei, the king will come out. β
β¦β¦
At the moment when the morning light sprinkled on the glazed tiles of Daming Palace, Xin Yi stood at the door of the Lin De Palace, and the sound of discussion of politics was already heard from the door.
"Open the door of the temple and see Xinyi. Xin Yi took a deep breath, raised the token in his hand, and Chenxi gilded the words "Inner Court Walking" on it.
The Jin Wuwei didn't dare to stop it at all. With the scream of the eunuch's rooster-like "Xin Yi to meet", the door of the palace rumbled open, and Xin Yi stepped in without hesitation.
β¦β¦
As soon as he stepped into the hall, ambergris rushed to the tip of his nose, and the solemnity in the air pressed people's backs.
Xin Yi lowered his head and eyes, stepped forward, and according to the rules of the big ceremony, he meticulously bowed three times and knocked nine times: "The people's daughter Xin Yi greets the emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. β
"Flat. Li He's faint voice came from the dragon chair, mixed with the majesty of a natural emperor.
"What are you doing?" sounded at the same time, and there was a slight exclamation next to him, Xin Yi looked down, it was not someone else, it was Li Jingting, the king of Jin.
He held a jade wat in his hand, a dark python royal court uniform, and a golden crown on his head, lining his old iron tree's temperament just right, but his face was frosty, his chin was full of green stubble, and the corners of his red eyes seemed to have not rested for several nights.
It is rumored that the king of Jin took over the control of the water, and that night he rushed to the Guannei Road to check, and rushed back to Beijing overnight, handing over the flood discharge fold, which came and went thousands of miles away, the spinning top kept turning, and he was tired of half his life.
Now standing in the palace, and the ministers are arguing with each other, but it is just a strong support.
Xin Yi's eyes softened, nodded to Li Jingting, and then turned his head to look at Li He: "Your Majesty: The matter of the flood discharge of the river to both banks, the people's daughter has something important to do. β
Unexpectedly, Li He also spoke. Li Jingting couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and interjected: "You don't agree to discharge floods on both sides of the strait?"
The word "also" is deliberately accentuated. Immediately, half of the courtiers in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, and the other half of the courtiers were angry and commotioned.
As if the government and the opposition were divided into two factions over whether to control the flood of the big river and discharge floods on both sides of the river or to discharge floods downstream, the dispute was deadlocked.
Because both roads are dead ends, but the difference between a few deaths, no one can ignore them.
Emperor Li He's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that the common people don't go to court. But Nian'er has the right to walk in the inner court, so he will allow you to say a few words, and explain the follow-up thoughts in detail. If what you say is reasonable, I can't help but listen to it, but if you talk nonsense, I will punish you for the capital crime of disturbing the court. β
Lengthy words are high-sounding. The courtiers rolled their eyes twice, but they all stopped for the time being, and all their eyes turned to Xin Yi.
Xin Yi took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and said loudly: "Dare to ask the prince of Jin and all the lords, why do you have to discharge the flood on both sides of the strait?"
The court burst into contemptuous laughter.
Li Jingting was also incredulous, stretched out his hand, and shook it in front of Xin Yi's eyes: "Miss Xin rested well last night? This king has always thought that the girl understands the righteousness and is quite insightful in the affairs of the court, and the reason for the flood discharge is not clear? Why is she still like a three-year-old child?"
Li He also frowned slightly, and said with his forehead: "Xin's family, so far, it is useless to investigate the Wang family's crime of concealing and not reporting. The key is to control the flood, and there is no time to delay, and there is only one way to discharge the flood, either on both sides of the river or downstream. The downstream is close to Gyeonggi, and the people or prosperity are far better than those on both sides of the strait, so ......"
"So, we have to discharge the flood on both sides of the strait?" Xin Yi said coldly.
"Exactly. "Emperor Li He, King Li Jingting of Jin, and most of the courtiers in the court all nodded calmly, as if this side has taken the lion's share, and whoever doubts it again is a fool who doesn't know the times.
Xin Yi's eyes burst into light, swept through the eyes of everyone, and saw too many bright and great things such as calmness, intelligence, righteousness, etc., but they didn't see it, and he showed half of compassion for the people on both sides of the strait.
Xin Yi bit his lip and said word by word: "So, you have to give up the small to protect the big, you have to abandon the car to protect the handsome? The people downstream should live, and the people on both sides of the strait should die? This is your reason?"
"Presumptuous!" the head of Longxi Li's family burst into applause, interrupting Xin Yi's angry conversation, "This is also a helpless move." A big country and a small family, which one should be protected, part of the overall situation, which side should be abandoned, this is the great righteousness, this is politics, and the women and Taoist people know what!"
Although the words were mean, they unexpectedly won a full house. Even Li Jingting, the king of Jin, just looked away apologetically, and didn't squeak.
Xin Yi suddenly understood what kind of mood Changsheng was having, so he gave up convincing her in the end and turned around and left alone.
"What do I know? I really don't understand anything. Xin Yi's eyes sparkled with a spark, "However, you adults don't understand either." β
At the moment when the anger of the civil and military officials was furious, Xin Yi took a sharp step and walked towards the Golden Luanza, and his abrupt action frightened all the anger or contempt back in his throat.
"There is a handyman in my house, a person from Fengzhou, an ordinary person whose homeland is about to be flooded, and a humble and poor common man in your mouth. Some time ago, he said this to me because of the flood discharge between the two sides of the strait. Xin Yi clenched his fists, swallowed an inexplicable sourness, and shook loudly under the gaze of the stunned manchao.
"I, Xin Yi, like many adults in the field, am a person who stands at the top of the chess game and holds the power of one side, and I will never understandββ"
"A string of numbers on the fold that calculates human life is the pillar of many small families.
"The so-called correct truth of giving up parts for the family and the country is the peace that many people have paved with blood and tears. β
"The court discussed the downplay of the flood that has become a game between all parties, and the fate of many people has turned around. β
Xin Yi paused, raised her eyes without hesitation, and looked directly at the civil and military officials, her eyes were as cold as the sword pierced three inches, but the corners of her eyes were red, betraying her unstable tone at the moment.
"I don't understand it, and you adults won't understand it, no matter how correct and virtuous or great it is, you won't understand. Even if the righteousness is in the sky, the history will not understand. Because he always stands in the clouds, he can't see clearly or can't see, and there are thousands of ants in the soil. β
"Those thousands of ants, all living beings, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, don't understand the righteousness of the family and the country, and can't even write. But they are the foundation of this country. β
"What supports this royal industry in Kyushu has never been the Three Platforms and Five Constants, monarchs and ministers, or perhaps not noble and gorgeous morality, but those ordinary people who have mud in their toes, take the portrait of Confucius and eat it, and are really ignorant, really humble, and even sometimes really hateful!"
The last shout exploded in the temple like thunder, causing everyone's faces to stir, their eyes to lose concentration, and even their hearts were in a trance.
The Lin De Hall fell into a strange dead silence.
