"Did my father ever think that there might be these three possibilities for the dissolved water rebellion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info One possibility is that the thieves for the officials shout to catch the thieves, hide the superiors and deceives the subordinates for their own selfish desires, and push the mistakes they have committed to the people under their rule, causing the people to suffer grievances but have no way to sue, causing the courtiers and saints in Beijing to misinterpret the people's hearts. Second, this matter is the result of the collusion between officials and thieves, and the officials and thieves protect each other, and the imperial court sends troops to exterminate them, but they are afraid that they will not be able to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots; the third possibility is that the officials force the people to rebel, and the people have no way out, and they are forced to become bandits......

The silent air was permeated with the fragrance of ambergris, strong and heavy, sobering, Xia Ziyan finished his words, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Xia Hao's voice, he raised his head, wanting to see what his father had and what he thought, but as soon as he raised his head, he crashed into the eyes of the man in the hall staring at him from afar.

- Xia Hao leaned lazily on the back of the mahogany chair, the expression in his half-lowered eyes was very gentle, he opened his mouth leisurely, and his deep voice seemed to be stained with a little smile, very gentle and soft, "According to the emperor's thoughts, what should be done now is the best policy?"

Xia Ziyan withdrew his gaze without a trace, and arched his hand, "This is the foolish opinion of the son, and I hope that my father will correct it." ”

"Do you know that you've talked too much, if not because you're thinking too much, you're knowing too much? There was still a wisp of warmth between Xia Hao's eyebrows, but it was like the afterglow of the sunset, the fiasco was lukewarm, and his voice was like cold water in the dark night, "You said that you didn't come to dissolve the water rebellion, but you asked for orders to suppress the bandits." The request for the government in advance is not to participate in political affairs early, but it implies that the dissolved water rebellion has another inside story, heh...... said that you are not a caring person, but your words and deeds are not like unintentional, you have gone around such a big circle, you refuse to get straight to the point, and you have hidden so many things in your heart, I can't understand you more and more. However, no matter who this thief is, whether it is an official, a citizen, or a thief, it must be suppressed. ”

"The people of the dissolved water are suffering and suffering, shouldn't the court give priority to appeasement, otherwise the people's grievances will accumulate, and they will not lose the hearts of the people", but in this way, Xia Ziyan didn't say it because he was anxious and wanted to blurt out the words, he just pursed his lips, lowered his raised eyes, and forcibly covered up the fluctuating emotions in his eyes.

"Mei Jianxin's official to Shilang, is a second-class official of the imperial court, serving my will, representing the imperial court behind him, and appeasing the subjects of Dayong, he knows what his words and deeds represent, and what kind of meaning and impact it will have. Since he was sure that he had rebelled, he could never make another mistake or neglect. Moreover, the matter of the dissolved water rebellion has already spread in Beijing, outside Jiankang City, within a radius of a hundred miles, I am afraid that this news has already spread all over the city. Now, thousands of eyes are staring at the court, these eyes are not only the courtiers, but also the people, what they care about is how the court will ensure their stability, they want the protection of the court, so the court must give them the protection they want. Therefore, no matter who this thief is, whether it is an official, a citizen, or a thief, he must be suppressed, and he can only be suppressed. ”

The gentle expression on the emperor's face turned cold every minute, with the domineering spirit of the emperor who could not be disobeyed, he spoke very slowly, and finally stopped talking, and only looked at Xia Ziyan with a pair of dark eyes.

Xia Ziyan knelt on the ground and listened quietly. In his ears, Xia Hao's unending words continued to sound in the hall, "If you are in a high position, you should have compassion for the people." But if the people are ignorant and become unscrupulous, only cold and violent means can they be stopped. The only way to rebuild the country and the people is to abandon the collapsed buildings and rebuild them, and they must not continue to rebuild directly on the ruins. So, you have to understand that when the process and the result are equally important, the process becomes meaningless when the result is irreversible. ”

As if feeling that his tone was too cold, the emperor finally slowed down, laughed, and explained lightly, "Once a certain thought is born in a person's heart, it is easy to forget it. Since they have rebelled, it will be difficult for them to be willing to behave in the future, and if they should calm the chaos and do nothing, it will be the source of great disaster. Ziyan, when you were young, you went out of the palace to the imperial tomb to guard filial piety for your mother, and you have not been in the palace for a long time, you don't know many truths, and you may not know how to do it is the best, but you can't help but keep it in mind. ”

Xia Ziyan heard Xia Hao's voice, remembering that his mother was still alive at that time, he got up in the morning to say goodbye to his mother to study in the study, the cold winter wax moon, the wind whistling outside the window, the heating in the study room was so hot that people were smoky, and drowsiness was born, until the end of class, people still felt dizzy, when he walked out of the study, the cold wind was as cold as a knife, but what made him instantly sober was not this cold wind, but the distant wisp of fragrance under the nine-zhang steps that he unintentionally saw, even if a piece of snow fell, he still saw at a glance that it was his mother who knelt in front of the steps. Several eunuchs stood coldly, he knew that these eunuchs would not let him get close to his mother, and he also knew that he did not have the ability to let his mother leave such a cold place, so he quietly knelt not far behind his mother. That day, when he woke up after he was frozen and stiff and unconscious, he found that he had been moved to the warm pavilion by someone for some time, Ge Gongcheng took a bowl of ginger soup and poured it into his mouth one by one, it was so spicy and spicy sweet, he could feel it flowing all the way from his throat to his stomach, making people's bodies slowly warm up. Outside the warm pavilion, Xia Hao could be heard talking to his mother in a warm and leisurely voice, but those words were said, but his mother's calm face was instantly ruined into a bleak look. It's a pity that he was too young back then, and his memory is distant and vague, and he has forgotten what his father said, but now, at this moment, he has crossed the long river of years, waved away the remnants of his memory one by one, tried to swallow the words that came to his throat, and replied in the most sincere tone of his life, "The son will live up to his father's teachings." ”

Xia Hao nodded, "um", seemed to be very satisfied, raised his hand and said, "Since you have the heart to share the worries of your father, the trip to Tianshan can no longer be delayed, the grievances you received before were that your mother did not do well, I have already punished her for grounding and introspection, so forget about this matter." ”

Xia Ziyan knew who the mother concubine mentioned in Xia Hao's words was, naturally not his mother, but he still had to respectfully call this woman by this title. Even though he was slightly resistant, he still bowed to his orders, and then retreated. As soon as he left the palace with his front feet, his figure disappeared outside the door of the palace that had just been closed, and in the empty hall, Xia Hao suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Do you know the reason why your mother was demoted now?"
