Chapter 232: Enthronement

Lin Nan desperately ran towards the side of the Jade Palace, only to see several palace maids lying on the side of the bed crying, Lin Nan was even more shocked, and pounced on An Yang and cried bitterly. "Yang'er, how can you abandon me!" Several palace maids saw him crying sadly, and just as they shouldn't say anything, a faint voice suddenly came into their ears. "Brother. When Lin Nan heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, only to see An Yangfeng's eyes slightly closed, his lips white, and a circle of red marks on his neck.

"Yang'er, what are you doing here, scaring my brother to death. Lin Nan grabbed her hand and ordered a few palace maids to go down, An Yang shed two lines of tears, turned his head and said: "An Yang owes my brother a life, I wanted to pay it back today, but who knew that my brother sent someone to watch it so closely, he couldn't even die." These words seemed to be wronged and hateful, and Lin Nan, who listened to it, said again and again: "It's my brother's fault, it's my brother's fault." An Yang sighed and said, "Brother Kai En, let An Yang die." ”

Lin Nan grabbed her hand and couldn't help crying: "If my sister dies, my brother can't be alone." Anyang listened to what he said, so he turned his head and despised him with his eyes, and only then said: "My brother's thoughts are all on Yang'er, not to mention the abolition of state affairs, and I will have to bear a reputation through the ages. ”

Lin Nan didn't answer her, but only whispered: "When is this hatred gone, dripping empty steps, cold and rain, funeral flowers, three years of long dreams, is a dream that should wake up for a long time." The material is also felt, the world is tasteless, not as far as the dust of the night platform, deserted, a place of sorrow, hairpin, abandoned, if there is a Pisces in Chongquan, I know him, the bitterness and happiness of the years, and who to rely on. I turned to the side from the middle of the night, endured listening to the Hunan strings, waiting for the end, he knew it, and I was afraid that the two of them would have a thin life, and then the fate was saved, and the moon was left in the wind, and the tears were all gone, and the paper was ashes. ”

Anyang heard him read his words, and said again in tears: "Brother Yuan still remembers this one. Lin Nan smiled bitterly: "If my sister has no intention of being with my brother, why did I have to do such a word that day?" An Yang knew that it was difficult to conceal it, so he could only sigh faintly: "Although my sister has intentions, it is difficult to contradict the principles of heaven, even if my brother can become a ninety-five honor, he can't go against the sky." ”

Lin Nan shook his head and said, "Even if you are crushed, this heart is difficult to understand. Anyang heard him say so resolutely, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart, but after all, reason prevailed, and he still just sighed: "Brother Hugh wants to say again, my sister is dead, my brother can prevent it for a while, but it is difficult to prevent it for a lifetime." ”

Lin Nan couldn't imagine that Anyang would be so righteous, he was disheartened for a while, sighed and said deeply: "My sister is determined to die, and my brother will not stop me, but after my sister died, my brother became a monk, and since then Hongchen has decided, ten years later, I will go to my sister's grave and post a poem." An Yang asked in surprise: "What is the word?" Lin Nan didn't think about it, so he came to Jiang Chengzi like a song.

Ten years of life and death, not thinking, unforgettable, thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation, even if you meet should not know, dusty, sideburns like frost, night dreams suddenly return home, Xiaoxuan window, is dressing, look at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears, expected to be broken every year, bright moon night, short pine gang.

After hearing this, Anyang was sad, and cried sadly: "Why is the relationship between brother and sister so so. Lin Nan was emotional, looked at An Yang's eyes and said: "Although my sister has no intention of being with my brother, my brother is willing to live and die together!" An Yang couldn't stand this love talk one after another, and his cheeks turned red. Shy.

"Yang'er!" Lin Nan couldn't bear the love of the world anymore, hugged An Yang's body, An Yang's phoenix eyes were tightly closed, and he hugged Lin Nan with his slender hands, and at this time, he only heard a loud shout outside the door, and the sound was like thunder.

"Okay, you two brutes!" The two were shocked, and when they were busy looking, they saw Yang Guang standing at the door with an angry face, his eyes showing a fierce light, and his whole body trembled with anger. "Father!" the two didn't know how to explain, but they saw Yang Guang knock twice on the wall with his fist, and shouted: "Jiangxian misunderstands me, Jiangxian misunderstands me!"

"What to do brother. Anyang panicked, but a cold flashed in front of Lin Nan's eyes, and shouted at the people at the door: "Why didn't the emperor report when he came!" Several people knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Qiqi King Wu, when the Lord of Long Live comes, the villains are not allowed to report, even if the villains have the courage to dismiss the will of the Lord of Long Live, and ask King Wu to forgive their sins." "Forget it!" Lin Nan waved his hand and let them go down, at this time, Dongfang Wenjie, Qin Yi, and several people ran in, Lin Nan comforted An Yang a few words, and at this time, he couldn't take care of his children's personal affairs, and hurriedly brought a few people to see Yu Wensu.

This group of Lin Nan's close ministers all gathered in one place, and asked the reason, Lin Nan could only tell the truth, everyone was shocked, Dongfang Wenjie hurriedly opened the topic and said: "Since His Royal Highness has done it, it will be useless to say more, now the emperor has announced Zhou Da, Wu Yan entered the palace to draft an edict, to immediately abolish the throne of His Royal Highness, and demote him to a concubine, this matter is only in the evening, if the two of them are called, we will not be killed!"

Yuwen Su knew that this matter was at stake, and said fiercely: "Now there is only one plan for horizontal and vertical, either King Wu or the emperor, it is better to strike first and ...... the emperor" He said this, making a chopping action, several people hesitated a little, and then saw Sa Wuji running in a panic and said: "Your Highness has somehow angered the saint?" Now the saint has called Zhou and Wu two ministers into the palace, called the swift grass edict, and also to recall the deposed king of Yan and the king of Chu and the king of Qi who are in the fiefdom, King Zhao, I'm afraid that when the edict is finished, I will send it to various places with treasures, and I will be dead!"

Lin Nan took the case and said viciously: "Since this is the case, then don't blame me for being unfilial!" Yuwen Su hurriedly said a few words in Sa Wuji's ear, Sa Wuji understood the meaning of this, and said without thinking about it: "It has to be like this, this matter can only be done by King Wu himself, but I am only afraid of Zhou Da, Wu Yan went to fetch the abolished Yan King back, and he made some trouble, so it was better to bother Mr. Yuwen and Wu Wang to make a will, saying that the two of them wanted to support the abolished Yan Wang, and went directly to the Dali Temple Prison, and then passed the decree that the Su guards were diligent and temporarily released, and ordered General Qin to lead the officers and soldiers of the East to guard the palace gates everywhere, and did not allow outsiders to enter and exit, nor allowed people in the palace to enter and exit, in order to prevent leakage of palace and provincial affairs, and also ordered another person to go to Xiyuan, kill the abolished Yan King, and stop others from looking. ”

Yu Wensu suddenly thought about it and said: "Yes, my brother Yu Wenle, he came here from Yizhou, so he sent to take the life of the old Yan King!" Several people discussed properly, Lin Nan took Fan Bodang and a few people straight to the harem, and Dongfang Wenjie took dozens of flag schools, rushed to the road, tied Zhou Da and Wu Yan, and went to Dali Temple, and when he came back, Qin Yi had replaced the guards everywhere, all of them were Donggong flag schools, and they were guarded separately.

At this time, Yang Guang's anger in the harem did not subside, so he asked the two concubines next to him: "Has Zhou Da finished writing the edict?" Concubine Qi replied: "I haven't seen it yet." Yang Guang snorted: "After writing, I used the treasure immediately and asked Zhou Da Express to send it." The concubine replied in a low voice, at this time, it was suddenly reported that King Wu had come to see her, and without waiting for Yang Guang to reply, Lin Nan had already brought Fan Bodang and other more than 20 internal eunuchs to break into the palace, and instructed the attendants on duty: "You have been working hard for days, and I will take these inner eunuchs to replace you, and even these palace maids in front of the bed have all retreated." These eunuchs and concubines were eager to be idle, and when they heard an order, they all went out in a hurry, only Concubine Qi and Concubine An stood tightly in front of the couch and did not leave.

Lin Nan took two steps forward, looked at Yang Guang, didn't knock his head to a single one, and said angrily: "The son of the emperor to see his father." After speaking, he said to the two concubines: "Two mothers, avoid it for the time being, I have something to talk about with my father." Concubine Qi paused and said, "This ...... I am afraid that the Holy God will call from time to time. Yang Guang also said angrily: "Who wants you to come to the harem, get out of here!"

Lin Nan laughed and looked at Yang Guangdao: "My father is old, why don't you go into the earth early and enjoy some peaceful days." Yang Guang couldn't have imagined that Lin Nan would dare to kill his father, and said in a lost voice: "Beast, you are crazy." "Escort the two ladies away!" Fan Bodang shouted, several internal supervisors came up to set up the two of them out, Yang Guang took a few steps back, his face turned pale, and he said again and again: "My son must not be impulsive, there is something to do, but you can think about it in the long run." "Less nonsense!" Lin Nan and the others came up with long swords and stabbed more than a dozen holes in Yang Guang's body.

In less than half an hour, Lin Nan came out lazily and said to the two concubines: "The emperor has already died himself, and you are still surrounded by this, and you don't report it to me, it really makes sense." When the two of them heard him say this, they were shocked and inexplicable, but although they knew that it was Lin Nan who killed the king, how could they dare to say it?

In July, Ding Wei, Emperor Yang Guangyan drove, and the next month, Jiang Xian suffered from palpitations due to grief, and he also went. The next month, Yu Wensu, Sa Wuji and others lied that Yang Guang had an edict, and set up the sixteenth prince Yang Yu as the successor king, and all the dissidents in the ministers were killed, until Yang Yu ascended the throne, sealed Sa Rongrong as the queen, and issued an edict to recruit the kings into Beijing, but the three kings of Qi, Chu, and Zhao, who were far away in the fiefdom, had the experience of King Yan and refused to enter Beijing with the edict, which was that the Great Sui War was about to break out.

……

Lin Nan ascended the throne, Yu Wensu and Sa Wuji led hundreds of officials, and the mountains called for worship, Lin Nanxi was born from the heart, and said with one sleeve: "Zhongqing is flat." "Emperor Xie. The hundred officials got up and stood on both sides, Lin Nan followed the arrangement of Dongfang Wenjie to send officials to the princes and towns to mourn, and then sent officials to the throne edict, and the edict was told at home and abroad: to take the next year as the first year of Huanglong, be promoted to all officials from the dragon, in the civil and military of the dynasty, each enter the rank of knight, reward the sergeants of the border towns, and give gifts to the world, and the rest of Yu Wensu, Dongfang Wenjie, Qin Yi, Fan Bodang, etc. have all been rewarded, and even the abolished Yan King has been re-named the king of Xiangyang, in order to block the mouth of Youyou.

At this time, hundreds of officials obeyed each other, no one had objections, and there were Yu Wenle and other cadres outside to suppress it, so although the Great Sui changed hands, Chang'an did not change much, Lin Nan finally ascended the throne and became the emperor, and when he saw the hundred officials standing with their hands down, he got up and said: "I ...... I have something to say, how about talking to the people?" Yuwen Su said first: "I am willing to listen to His Majesty's teachings." The rest of the officials naturally followed. Lin Nan then said: "I know that Zhongqing is an official in the court, and he must be based on morality, a person, when he was just born, he was clean and clean, called "naked", and the heart of a child is very naΓ―ve and simple, so all innocent and simple hearts can be called "pure heart". Why is there such a word? It is because the purity of the child is very valuable, that is, what we call 'gentleman'. After listening to his words, Baiguan didn't know what his main topic was, so he could only continue to listen.

I saw Lin Nan continue: "I mentioned that this involves a question -- whether human nature is inherently good or humane is inherently evil, this question is difficult to say, but I think that people are all good, but can I think that people should be evil, is there any? No, even the wicked do not advocate that people should be evil, so in this case, there is a problem, that is, how to strive to be good and prevent evil?" The bottom line belongs to the heart, that is to say, I will not do evil, I will never do evil, no matter how I do things, even if I do some bad things, there must be a bottom line, and I cannot break it. For example, if I steal something, but I don't kill anyone, even if someone sees it, I can't kill anyone. In other words, I steal things, but I don't have a lust, even if the hostess is beautiful and fragrant, I can't see lust. For example, if I steal things, but I only steal from the rich, not from the poor, or never steal from other people's life money, life-saving money, etc., this is called "stealing also has a way", where does this bottom line come from? From oneself, it can only come from everyone's own morality, so the bottom line is responsible for morality. ”

"So what are scruples? Scruples are additive, that is, it's not that I don't want to do evil, it's not that I don't want to do bad things, it's not that I can't do bad things, it's that I can't do bad things, why can't it? It's because we have a "heart of honesty," and what "heart of honesty" depends on is naturally morality. ”

So I have to ask: Is morality really capable of making people feel guilty? My conclusion is no. ”

For example, Confucius's student Zai Yu asked Confucius, what is the reason for three years of mourning? One year is enough, Confucius asked, "Less than three years after your parents died, you eat the white rice and wear the satin clothes, and you feel uneasy in your heart?" The reason why a gentleman keeps filial piety for three years is because during these three years, he does not feel fragrant when he eats good food, does not feel beautiful when he listens to music, and feels uneasy when he lives in a comfortable house.

Perhaps the secretaries will ask, since morality is useless, then what do we rely on? Criminal law! Why is it criminal law and not morality? Because morality is "soft control" and criminal law is "hard control." As I said earlier, what is "scruples"? That is, I want to do evil, I can do evil, I will do evil, but I don't dare, why don't I dare? Because someone is in charge, and they must be in charge, they will definitely be in charge, and they will be able to manage it. Obviously, the "person" mentioned here cannot be an individual, a private person, an individual and a private person who does not have this power, does not have this obligation, does not have this ability, and a person who has done evil may or may not condemn it, we may or may not condemn it, we may be filled with righteous indignation because of a sense of justice, and we may shout when we see injustice, or we may be silent because of the obstruction of affection or intimidation of authority. Even if you manage it, the people who are in charge may not listen to it, so morality is unreliable, so you can only rely on the criminal law, even if you are a relative of the emperor, if you dare to do evil, someone will naturally take care of you, and you will not dare to commit it again!"

Baiguan was taken aback, and only when he heard this did he understand what Lin Nan meant, only to hear him continue: "Now that I am in charge of the world, I should govern the country by criminal law, not morality, I have a word in front of me today, whether it is a relative of Huang or a member of the first grade, whoever dares to violate the criminal law, I will not tolerate mercy!"

Baiguan Mountain shouted long live, after three bows, Lin Nan continued: "In addition, in terms of military service, my Great Sui military service is not a soldier's sound, so it is difficult for soldiers to be loyal to the country, and it has caused great difficulties in the life of the families of military servicemen, so from today on, all those who serve in the military will be issued with soldiers. Therefore, from this day on, the people, but those who serve in the conscription, must be paid the full amount of wages on a monthly basis, otherwise the ten tribes will be destroyed!"

"This ......" changed the two major policies at once, and naturally some ministers wanted to oppose it, but Lin Nan didn't give them a chance, and waved his hand and said: "Zhu Qingxiu has to say more." "The business is almost ordered, Lin Nan turned his face and smiled: "I am tired of living in Chang'an, I want Luoyang to be the capital of the world, and I want to build a Xianren Palace to face the Quartet, I don't know who can be worthy of this position?" Ancient and modern emperors, all have Ming Hall, to the princes of the dynasty, the situation Shun has two rooms, King Wen has Lingtai Lingnuma, all of them have great achievements, want to show benevolence and virtue in the world, now His Majesty XiΓ  to build Xianren Palace, want to show sanctification, and Shun Wen on the same track, Cheng ancient and modern events, ministers dare not to serve?" Murong Lian also played: "The Son of Heaven built a palace, not vast enough to be magnificent, not rich enough to be virtuous, must be south of the soap hole, north across Luobin, choose the world's good villages and different stones, and all kinds of Jiahua Rui grass, rare birds and beasts, enrich it, in order to be admired by all countries in the world." ”

Lin Nanle couldn't close his mouth, and said again and again: "Erqing tries his best, I have my own heavy reward!" Then he sent a decree to Hu Yanzan and Murong Lianrong to build Xianren Palace in Luoyang, where the south of the big river, north of Wuling, all kinds of materials, all according to the selection, there must be no mistakes, the cost of its craftsmen, in addition to the eastern capital of Jiangdu, now in the service of the place, with each provincial capital, each state and county to pay three thousand taels of silver, urging the levy to solve, go to Luoyang to help. The two of them were ordered to go out, even if they set off for Luoyang, and did things separately.

When he came back from retreating, Lin Nan was full of joy and came to see Anyang, at this time Anyang was looking at the door, and saw Lin Nan striding in a dragon robe, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, so he turned around slowly.

"Yang'er. Lin Nan ran over and shouted, and when Anyang saw him approaching, he saluted and said, "Anyang will see Long Live Lord." Lin Nan hurriedly pulled her up and said, "Good sister, we don't need this between us." An Yang's face changed, and he suddenly said: "Then you sue me, how did my father die!" Lin Nan pretended to sigh and said: "My father saw us that day...... After returning to the palace, he was in a hurry, and then he died suddenly. An Yang burst into tears and cried: "Isn't that why I killed my father." Seeing her crying sadly, Lin Nan took her hand and said: "Life and death are fateful, and there is a certain number of thoughts, and my sister doesn't have to be too sad." ”

Yang pinched his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, pulled Lin Nan and said, "Let's go, come to my house, I have a finished show for you." (To be continued.) )
