Chapter 434: The Bell Tower
The first consciousness of all people is that Xin Yi's words are ridiculous, they can pick out a basket of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music from any scripture book in the ten years of the cold window, and refute Xin Yi to a piece.
However, when something poured down their throats, they found it impossible to speak.
Because they suddenly remembered that time went back decades, when they combed their buns with snot, they also used to dip their bare feet in mud, and they also ate Confucius portrait rolls and flatbreads, and they never had the title of the gold list, nor did they move the name of one party, and they were also ignorant, humble and even hateful.
They were dumb.
Li Jingting, the king of Jin, was the first to come to his senses, his throat moved, and he said with a complicated expression: "But Miss Xin, the meat eater is scheming." The people have the suffering of the people, and we also have our compulsions, after all, the family and the country ......."
"I know everything!" Xin Yi raised his voice violently and shouted loudly, interrupting Li Jingting's words, "I understand, I understand." ”
Xin Yi walked step by step, and walked in front of the Golden Luan Throne, she looked at the high emperor Li He, and her slightly upturned neck felt sore for the first time.
Then a spark exploded under her eyes, staining the corners of her eyes red.
"I just, I hate you for taking it for granted......"
The last word fell, and a tear rolled down from the corner of Xin Yi's eye.
She just stared straight at Li He, the eyes of the emperor behind the twelve strings of crown beads, and the tears reflected the latter's face full of shock.
Lin De Hall is like a stagnant. I only heard that teardrop falling on the gold brick ground, and with a clear sound, the jade bead shattered, leaving a star watermark.
"Just hate this kind of naturalness?" Li Jingting, the king of Jin, repeated this sentence, his face was blue and white for a while, but he didn't want to take his eyes off Xin Yi.
This is not what the maid said, but what the miscellaneous slave said. Xin Yi glanced sideways at Li Jingting, then turned around and left at the door of the main hall.
Under the gaze of a frozen civil and military official, in the dead silence to the point of breathlessness, she went to the palace gate as if no one was around, did not bow to Li He, nor did she say goodbye to anyone.
She just walked with her back to her.
Then she raised her eyes slightly, and saw Chang'an Kyoto outside the hall, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan Plain, countless cooking smoke, a few pounding clothes, and beggars basking in the sun in the corner, scholars chanting poems and painting in high-rise buildings, and kiln sisters smiling and trembling at the cheap rouge on the flower street.
More and more walking through the chessboard-like market, like small and dense ants-
Three teachings and nine streams. All living beings.
Humble, fragile, poor, vulgar, but invincible, powerful, holding up everything, and giving birth to everything.
Enough to make anyone bow their heads, enough to make this country bend its back.
Xin Yi smiled, the embroidered shoes that brushed through the hall suddenly stopped, she didn't look back, just turned her back to Daming Palace, facing Chang'an City, her lips opened lightly, and her tone was a little unstable.
"Always...... There's always something you can do...... Even a little...... There's always something you can do......"
Smack. The jade wat in Li Jingting's hand suddenly couldn't hold it steadily and fell to the ground.
Emperor Li He trembled. When he wanted to stop Xin Yi to argue, he found that the woman's back had already disappeared outside the temple gate.
What greeted him was the clear sky outside the hall, and the sky was full of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
As the king of this land, it is not the first time he has seen it, but it is the first time he has seen it.
Li He also smiled, he leaned back against the dragon chair, the whole person lazily nested in a ball, and waved his hand: "Retreat!"
……
Just one day after the Lin De Palace, the rumors of Xinyi's license to break the ban have not stopped, and the people of Chang'an suddenly found that the bell towers at the four corners of the city were suddenly lively.
There are constantly purple-robed and brocade dignitaries, and even princes and grandsons, who climb the bell tower and overlook the city, and they don't chant poems and paint, nor sing and dance.
The bell tower is not unusual, even the guards are lazy, and the bronze bell is covered with a layer of ash, but it is the most suitable place to overlook the city.
"Chang'an Castle, the four-corner bell tower, is the most suitable place to look down on Vientiane in the city. The same words came out of Li Jingting's mouth, in exchange for a smile from Nie Ke.
"So, what does Your Highness see in your eyes, the situation of the displaced people who have been flooded by the great river?"
"It's just going to increase, not to decrease. You see, at this moment, there were thieves in the east and a fight in the west, all caused by the homeless. If it is not properly settled, the feet of the Son of Heaven will also be smoky. Li Jingting's fingertips hidden in the python robe were pinched and gurgling.
Nie Ke shrunk his neck and said tentatively: "The emperor is anxious about controlling the water, and he can't care about the affairs of the displaced people. What do your highnesses want?"
Li Jingting was silent for a long time. He looked at the streets and alleys at his feet, as if scorched by the sun, and squinted slightly.
He saw that day again, the woman stood in front of the dragon chair, looking directly at Emperor Li He, not dodging or dodging, her spine was straight-
I just hate you for taking it for granted.
"I hate this for granted...... Of course, ......" Li Jingting smiled suddenly, kept holding his forehead with his hand, and his eyes were a little moist with a smile.
At that time, she also shed a tear, and then turned her back to the civil and military officials, and walked to the outside of the hall.
Li Jingting laughed even harder, and his fingertips trembled violently: "There is always something you can do...... Even a little...... That back...... Nie Ke...... This king wants to walk with her...... Beside her......"
"What did Your Highness say?" Nie Ke was stunned for a moment, confused by Li Jingting's messy words, and subconsciously replied, "What can't you go? Your Highness is a noble of the Heavenly Family, no matter how Xin Yi is, he is also a subject, he can only look up, and where can he speak and act side by side!"
"That's not what it means...... You don't understand...... I don't understand......" Li Jingting put down his hand, shook his head, and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were suddenly filled with a sense of perseverance.
"Pass on my king's order: order all the guards of the Jin Palace, and all the shadow guards of the king, to rush to the area of Lingzhou, Fengzhou, to assist the local people to evacuate! Be sure to move all the population as much as possible before the flood is discharged from the imperial court! On the day when the king wants to release the flood, he will not lose his life!"
Word by word, loud and sound. There is no hesitation to calculate benefits, nor is there any nobility of giving to the emperor.
Li Jingting simply stood there, and a momentum suddenly burst out from him, the light and the wind and the moon, the mountains and rivers are like the sea, but they are soft like the earth that embraces everything, this land that makes people cry and bend their waists.
Nie Ke was stunned suddenly.
If you say that Li Jingting in the past, he was His Royal Highness, the prince, the person in power, and the noble man of the heavenly family who made people kneel and look up.
And at this moment, he has nothing to do with all the identities brought to him by the surname Li, but it is enough to make people offer loyalty and oaths.
Match the sky with virtue and rule the Quartet.
It is called, the king's choice.
Nie Ke felt that the corners of his eyes were a little hot, and he couldn't help but fall down on one knee, covering up the tears that were about to roll down: "Lord Wang...... This is an unauthorized move without the emperor's order...... According to the law of the Great Wei Dynasty......"
"The king knows. Li Jingting took over Nie Ke's words in time, "However, how can the word "people" be measured by the law? If the father blames the emperor and even gives up this glory, this king has no regrets or regrets!"
"The subordinates originally thought that the prince was a person who swore to the country, and in order to step on the final peak, the benefits of rice grains could not be given lightly. Just like brick by brick, the trend of high-rise buildings has risen, and the prince is impulsive and ruins the overall situation. Nie Ke secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, and his mood slowly calmed down.
However, Li Jingting shook his head again, and his eyes crossed with perseverance: "Swear to be in the country? However, the true meaning of the country ......"
Li Jingting paused, stretched out his right arm solemnly, and pointed to Chang'an City outside the bell tower, and pointed to the people who were illiterate in coarse linen clothes, chased and scolded all over the street, and only cared about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
"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, eat Confucius portraits and roll cakes, and are really ignorant, really humble, and even sometimes really hateful. ”
Li Jingting repeated Xin Yi's words.
On that day in the Lin De Palace, he was familiar with the words memorized by heart. Word by word, he spent countless long nights in the aftermath, getting up in his clothes and sleepless, wandering in the corridor countless times to ponder, and letting the white frost fall on his shoulders countless times.
