112 The wind rises

Shui Xiao wants to shoot the death of the summer!

But he couldn't. Because Feng Xia is a speech official, this dynasty has always had the ancestral system of "not being guilty of words" in the imperial history. According to this system, even if there is a slight mistake or mistake in the words and deeds of the imperial history, the Son of Heaven cannot be condemned for this.

In addition, Feng Xia's letter must have spoken the hearts of many ministers in the court.

Those ministers themselves are unwilling or afraid to come forward, but since Feng Xia has become a bird, they must support Feng Xia openly and secretly.

If they condemn Feng Xia, those ministers must try to protect Feng Xia on the grounds that "the imperial history is not guilty of words". When the time comes, he argues with the courtiers, and the scene is ugly. If those officials who protect Feng Xia say that they are angry, they may really want to put a faint king's hat on their heads, and they have achieved Feng Xia's reputation in vain. If these people make trouble with the Emperor Taishang again, King Xiaogong will be very happy!

Therefore, if he wants to deal with Feng Xia, he can't use this edict to talk about things, he has to say something else.

He smiled faintly and asked Feng Xia rhetorically: "I don't quite understand what Feng Yushi said. Don't I have children? He didn't respond positively to Feng Xia's advice at all, and directly shifted the focus of the topic.

Of course, Feng Xia knew that the emperor had a prince, but: "The emperor is nearly thirty years old, but he only has one son. For the Son of Heaven, the heir is really too thin, in case the little prince has three long and two short......"

Before he finished his words, Shui Xiao changed color, and slapped his palm on the imperial case: "Boldly seal the summer!" How dare you curse the prince?! "Let's suppress Feng Xia's momentum first. I thought again: Is this product stupid to read, and in this case, he also blurted out?

As soon as the emperor was angry, the ministers of the palace instinctively knelt down and said in unison: "Please calm the emperor's anger!" ”

Feng Xia was stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt down and said, "The minister doesn't dare!" What I mean by ......" He was a little speechless for a moment.

Shui Xiao's smile was very cold: "What do you mean?" Feng Xia, you have to think about it before you come back to me. If you dare to speak viciously and curse the prince, I will expel you from the palace and reduce you to a white body! ”

Feng Xia's impassioned momentum was hit by Shui Xiao like this, and he immediately went to most of it.

He thought about it, and really couldn't say anything like "if the little prince has three long and two short", and said while thinking about it: "Your Majesty, the minister means: The ancestral system of this dynasty, the crown prince regardless of the age or young, only establishes virtue and virtue." The emperor now has only one prince, if he ...... in the future"

Feng Xia almost blurted out the words "If it doesn't work out in the future", he finally swallowed the words back in his mouth, and stammered a little and changed his words: "If the little prince ...... Future...... In the future, he will be an idle cloud and wild crane, and the emperor will ...... Who did the emperor appoint as the crown prince? ”

As soon as he said this, he himself felt that he didn't have a little impassioned momentum!

And now this situation is completely different from the scenery scene he originally expected when the admonition came out and the Manchu Dynasty was seconded by all the civil and military forces, and he was even more disappointed in his heart. How so? He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Shui Xiao snorted coldly: "The little prince is only more than a year old, how does Feng Yushi know what kind of character he will be in the future?" Besides, I and the queen are still young, and naturally there will be other sons in the future! Today's discussion of sealing the imperial history is really unfounded, and there is nothing to do! I remember that you are the imperial history, and you are a fledgling, and everything is unfamiliar, so I don't care about your speechlessness and the loss of etiquette in front of the emperor! Take it back yourself! ”

Feng Xia was speechless for a while. You have to step down, you are unwilling. Don't retreat, I don't know how to continue the previous topic.

Yue Xi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites who agreed with Feng Xia's point of view, couldn't stand it anymore, and went out to support Feng Xia: "Your Majesty, although Feng Yushi's words are not clear, his admonitions are still reasonable. The emperor is the son of heaven, and according to the etiquette law, in addition to the queen, he should set up three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives. According to the ancestral system of this dynasty, there should also be concubines, concubines, concubines and other concubines in the harem. Now, the emperor abolished the etiquette for the words of a wild Taoist priest, resulting in an empty harem and thin heirs, which is really not what the Ming monarch should do. The emperor is the son of heaven, and the prosperity of his descendants is the blessing of the society, even if the eldest son of the emperor has both talents and virtues in the future, he also needs some siblings to help the country be more stable. He also asked the emperor to adopt the advice of the imperial history, select concubines, enrich the harem, and extend the heirs. ”

The left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lang Yuexi, is much spicier than Feng Xia, a rookie Yushi.

He didn't give Shui Xiaogu a chance to talk about him at all, and directly turned the topic back to the admonition itself, which was reasonable and responsible. Moreover, his position in the court is much deeper than that of a seven-grade rookie imperial history. After he took the lead, seven or eight ministers came out one after another to support Feng Xia, which made Feng Xia's face feel uplifted again.

Shui Xiao couldn't get confused, so he had to respond positively: "All the secretaries are talking about etiquette, but you are worried about my life?" ”

How important is the life of the Son of Heaven! As soon as he said this, even an old fox like Yue Xi was slightly stunned.

Shui Xiao's gaze swept over the courtiers who supported Feng Xia, and his voice was very cold: "When I was young, I was sick for more than ten years. When you are most sick, you feel that it is hard to even gasp, and when you fall asleep every night, you don't know if you will wake up the next day. Fortunately, with the blessing of God, the queen was given supreme medical skills when she met immortals, and I was cured of my illness with this medical skill, and I was considered alive. Since then, I have taken my life in the light of my life. Are you willing to risk your life for the sake of a mere woman? All the ministers are talking about etiquette, but do you know that etiquette also has the word 'subordination'? Today, I am not without children; In the future, I will also have more heirs, and the eldest son of the emperor will naturally have sibling support. In that case, what reason do I have to risk death to choose a concubine? Zhu Qing is so aggressive, what is his intention?! ”

He directly put a big hat on these courtiers who supported Feng Xia, vowing to make this topic dare not be easily mentioned in the future!

But Feng Xia was still unconvinced, and said with a stiff neck: "Your Majesty, how can the words of a wild Taoist priest be taken seriously?" Today, the emperor refuses to choose a concubine for a wild Taoist priest, and if another Taoist priest comes another day, saying that the emperor has to give him the country and Zen in order to be safe, and the emperor must obey his words? ”

Shui Xiao sneered: "The ancestors of this dynasty are virtuous, and the rivers and mountains are quite blessed by the gods. The auspicious event that caused a sensation in the world and was recorded in the history books in the tenth year of Longzheng, some of the Qingqing have seen it with their own eyes. Later, my queen was taught medical skills when she met immortals, and she used this medical skills to cure my stubborn diseases, so that I can have today. When I was in Jiangnan for disaster relief, the Taoist priest I saw came and went without a trace, which was quite miraculous, and he must also be a fairy man. It's just that this immortal doesn't want to show his true face, so he turned into the appearance of a one-eyed Taoist priest and ordered Yu Yu! Naturally, I have to believe more in his words; If other Taoist priests come to talk nonsense and deceive, I will naturally not be spared! When Feng Yushi said such a thing, could it be that he really regarded me as a faint king? ”

He was even more annoyed with Feng Xia in his heart.

Feng Xia's edict should not have been instructed by King Xiaogong. His own eyeliner has already focused on King Xiaogong's people as closely as possible, and no one has reported that King Xiaogong's people have contact with this Fengxia before......

Of course, with today's out, I don't know what will happen in the future!

He thought to himself: Since Feng Xia is so blind, it is better to keep him as a bait! What his future and fate will be in the future depends on his own creation!

Yue Xi and the others had nothing to say, so they had to kowtow and ask for guilt, and showed that they just wanted to worry about the king, and they had no bad intentions. Feng Xia also had nothing to say.

After retreating, Shui Xiao was very angry in his heart.

The events of the court meeting are recorded by historians! He was forced to say that in public today. Thousands of years later, there may be many people who ridicule him for being cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, and he doesn't even dare to accept a concubine in order to live! Although he is indeed afraid of death, he just needs to know about such a thing, and it is really embarrassing to be known by the people of the world and future generations!

He didn't have the heart to deal with other political affairs for a while, and after retiring from the court, he went directly to Yihe Palace to relax.

Yuan Chun saw that he was angry, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shui Xiao was very depressed and pulled Yuan Chun into his arms, hugged him tightly, and then walked to the soft couch with Yuan Chun's chest and abdomen, leg to leg, and threw Yuan Chun down on the soft couch. He half-pressed on Yuan Chun, buried his head in her shoulder socket, and let out a long sigh.

When Yuan Chun saw him like this, he didn't ask much, but hugged him, patted his shoulder and back very gently, and comforted him softly: "Don't be angry!" I'm not angry...... Angry and hurt! Keep a good mood to live a long life......"

Shui Xiao was depressed for a while before telling Yuan Chun what happened at today's small court meeting: "...... Thousands of years later, I don't know how many people will laugh at me for being a gutless rat who is greedy for life and afraid of death, what a shame I have thrown home! ”

Yuan Chun listened silently, and the taste in his heart was indescribable. The day she sat on the queen's throne, she considered this possibility. Now, it's happening!

She was not surprised by this.

If the long-standing and deep-rooted patriarchal ideology is so easy to give in and succumb, why does she need to be so cautious and cautious everywhere?

has been a husband and wife with Shui Xiao for so many years, and she never dared to confess the truth of "God's curse" to him, didn't she just want to borrow his strength to block the counterattack of male power ideas against her? Although she is still very limited in what she can do on women's rights, the keen masculinists may have instinctively sensed the danger.

She felt a little regret in her heart: on this issue, between her and Shui Xiao, I am afraid that she will never be truly honest. Because she needs safety more than honesty!

As for Shui Xiao's response to the court today, Yuan Chun is very satisfied.

How depressed Shui Xiao is now shows how repulsive he is to admit that he is afraid of death. But he still admitted it in public.

He defended her so much, and defended their marriage, that she couldn't ask more of him.

But in order not to let this matter become a pimple in his heart, she felt that she had to reverse his concept, lest he should keep worrying about it and finally let it become a knot between them.

"Who told you that it's a shame to care for your life?" Yuan Chun was very surprised and asked Shui Xiao, "It's a very right thing to cherish life, can't you equate it with greed for life and fear of death?" Thousands of years later, people will only think that you are right to cherish your life, and will not laugh at you at all! ”

Shui Xiao, who was depressed, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his head from her shoulder socket and looked at her strangely: "How do you say this?" ”

There was a faint hope in his expression.

When he was a child, he experienced something like that, and he had a very strong fear of death.

He never dared to admit this. Because when he was bored during his illness, the palace maids, eunuchs, grandmothers and his biological mother around him had told him a lot of stories. In those stories, heroes and heroes are never greedy for life and afraid of death! Gradually, he also thought: Fear of death is a very bad thing!

Yuan Chun started to flicker the magic and began to brainwash Shui Xiao: "If a person is injured, it will be very painful." It's our bodies telling us: stay away from harm and protect yourself! Why does our body function this way? This is the ancestral motto that our ancestors have passed down from generation to generation through blood: take good care of your life and protect your body and health. Caring for life is actually a kind of filial piety, which is similar to the meaning of "the body is skinned, the parents who receive it, dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety" is similar......

Shui Xiao listened quietly, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, and the depression in his heart gradually disappeared. He accepted Yuanchun's statement and told himself in his heart: There is no shame in being afraid of death! I'm the emperor, I don't have to be a hero!

Under normal circumstances, a person's three views are not so easy to be reversed, but people who are trying to find reasons to excuse their shortcomings are exceptions.

"Since 'the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it', why do you still let me shave?" Shui Xiao's mood improved, and he began to pick the thorns in Yuan Chun's words.

Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows, very justified: "It won't hurt to shave!" It can be seen that the beard does not need to be protected! Those who think that a beard should not be destroyed must have misunderstood its meaning! ”
