Chapter 164 Responsible
Qi Mingfei withdrew his gaze from King Zongcheng, and respectfully said to Li Wei beside him, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this question is very simple. ”
Li Wei's face was calm, but she replied casually, "It's okay to tell them." It was as if a scholar had given a beggar a word of alms. The king's calmness made the originally silent officials refreshed.
Qi Mingfei nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he turned to the hundred officials and looked at the displeased gaze of Shangxi Yan, "Since Beichen respects the sun, it is naturally the prosperous sun, how can the light of the sunset be compared to the sun?" Beichen has always been the Son of Heaven facing east, and the sun is flourishing in the middle, but in order to match the beautiful scenery of Wolf Peak and Guanri Waterfall, it has to converge a little light to match the clear moon, which has the beautiful scenery of the holy land. ”
How can the light of a good sunset compare to the sky! None of the officials thought of this meaning, and they couldn't help but admire Qi Mingfei. The former Lord Qi still speaks neatly and accurately, and the pearl and jade appear on its own.
King Zong Cheng looked at his confident appearance, and his heart was full of emotion for a while. I can't talk to him much on weekdays, but I never thought that here, he would have to confront him-for-tat, and he wouldn't give an inch, which made him do something.
Lian Meiren wrung a handkerchief in her hand, she hated this Qi Mingfei, and her sophistic talent and the blue-clothed kid who scolded her on the street that day were the same way. However, today they also prepared a follow-up move, and now they are falling into this trap! Thinking of this, Lian Meiren's eyes flashed over the water, and she looked at King Zongcheng, but after a while, she realized that he had not taken advantage of the situation to refute.
What's going on? Isn't everything arranged? No matter what they answered, Xi Yan could catch the handle. But now, what is going on with this cousin who has always escaped wantonness? Are you stupid to be scared by a few words?
Lian Meiren was secretly anxious, her eyes gestured to the elder, the elder coughed, and King Cheng also heard the elder's reminder, but he still didn't speak, just looked at Qi Mingfei from time to time, and couldn't say one, two, or three in his mouth.
Lian Meiren couldn't sit still, got up slowly, took the handkerchief and smiled infinitely. The lord explained it clearly, and this sunset did not dare to compare with the sunset. However, all things have the order of yin and yang, light and dark, and the sun and the moon coexist. Alternate transformation, this is what makes everything in the world slowly exist. Just as there are men and women in the world, men plough and weave, men outside and women inside, and men are yang and square. Women are as gentle as the moon, so that they can be born together. I wonder if you think that's the truth? ”
As she spoke, Lian stepped forward, and no one could find out what was wrong with her.
Lian Meiren then lowered her eyebrows and smiled, glared at King Zongcheng from an angle that others couldn't see, and then bent her eyes with a smile on her face, "And according to Princess Ben, this picture of mountains and rivers is only afraid that the clear moon will add color and the sunset will disappear." Doesn't your majesty think. Can a woman's brilliance be better than a man's? ”
These words are bold, if it was the former Beichen Love, maybe she was really moved by her, and she would even appreciate such an independent feminist oath. It's a pity that Li Wei regrets that she is not one of those ministers, nor does she have any career ambitions, so she has no idea at all about her words, the only thought is that this rival in love can't see her sweetheart Guan Qianyi at the first sight of entering the palace now. How can you still be so calm and eloquent?
In fact, Lian Meiren naturally did not complain about Guan Qianyi, but the purpose of her trip today was to give Beichen Kingdom some color. In this way, he may be able to drag Guan Qianyi and give an explanation to the tea concubine. If the concubine is happy, maybe her marriage with him will be settled soon.
The two of them thought differently for only half a second, and Li Wei gently moved the crown curtain, "Princess Lian is really ambitious." No, I want to be like me. Ask for a dragon chair to sit on? ”
Lian Meiren was shocked, she never thought that the voice of the current emperor of Beichen Kingdom sounded crisp and gentle, and the words she said were so mean and tricky, and she would fall into a life and death situation with a single sentence. If today's words were transmitted back to Xiyi, her life would be sad.
His Majesty laughed, even if Lian'er had ten thousand guts, she wouldn't dare to think like this. Lian'er only heard that His Majesty was ruling at a young age and managed the Beichen Kingdom so well, and Lian'er admired His Majesty, so she felt that no man in the world could compare to His Majesty. His Majesty's joke was about to scare Lian'er. "In the face of the emperor, even if she can say it, she can't be hard, and this emperor is a woman, if she shows off some weakness and coquettishness, she won't please at all, so she can only know that she is weak with affection.
At this time, the elder couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, Princess Lian is just talking about things, and she has no other thoughts at all." If His Majesty thinks our questions are too difficult to answer, admit defeat and don't have to scare us with a twist. ”
Li Wei endured the feeling of tightness in her chest, and secretly sneered, "The old man is wrong to say this. Since I Beichen has always respected the sun, I naturally hope to create a prosperous dynasty that shines like the sun. And I was elected by my father and the people, and sitting on this dragon chair brought the ardent expectations of my father and the people. In my Beichen, whether male or female, once selected to be the descendant of the Son of Heaven, he will inevitably inherit the supreme light and descend to future generations, and sprinkle the light of Houyi into the mortal world. And Princess Lian opened her mouth and closed her mouth and said that I am Qingyue, isn't it implying that I can't inherit the light and the future generations? ”
"Return, Majesty, Lian'er, didn't ......" Lian Meiren was reprimanded by the cold and hard voice and her legs were weak, but fortunately, the old man grabbed her, barely letting her not lose face.
Qi Mingfei smiled, "Why should you be angry. My Beichen Kingdom chooses the Son of Heaven with wisdom and virtue, and if there is a Son of Heaven, there will be light; And the country of Xiyu respects the gods, even a mentally handicapped fool can be respected as the heir, so go and worship the gods to pray for peace in the world. ”
"You, you presumptuous!" The old man was so angry that he was about to faint, he lived to be seventy or eighty years old, and he had never been slandered by others in front of him for his country and the prince, but what they said was also the truth.
"Presumptuous? I'll put five more! Qi Mingfei became more and more bold, "I will allow you to take a landscape painting to our Beichen as a guest to show off?" Do you still ask this question and that? Shall I not be allowed to argue with you about the difference between genius and retarded in the same vein? ”
Li Wei wanted to laugh, but she had to keep her composure. The corners of Beichenluo's lips were also hooked, and Qi Mingfei's words were appropriate, so it would be difficult for him and the imperial sister to come forward.
Lu Xiao on the other side of Li Wei quietly took pen and ink to record the scene on the side, so as to be ready to transmit it out of the palace in real time as the original script of Beichen's propaganda. Of course, he has slightly changed the recorded quotations, after all, he has to escort Beichen. Of course, now that the situation is in place, he doesn't have to make too many changes, and the duet is very exciting.
What surprised him today was. I never thought that Qi Mingfei, who had no shape on weekdays, would be a member of the Zhongshu House, and he could stand in the court and froth at the mouth calmly.
Baiguan listened to Qi Mingfei's words that were full of scoundrels and examples, and felt very interesting. And they don't know how happy they are to see that these things are so angry that they jump to their feet.
At this time. The elder seemed to have no choice, turned around and said helplessly behind him, "Master Qingyi, look at how we are being bullied, you don't know how to help say a word." ”
The master named Qingyi slowly raised his head. Confused, he narrowed his eyes, but he was a very young face, with a one-piece hat on his head, revealing a smooth forehead, and no hair on his head, but he turned out to be a monk.
"Are you all done?" The monk seemed to be still ignorant, he looked up, glanced around again, and saw that the elder and the lotus beauty were looking at him, so he took a few steps forward. Respectfully saluted Li Wei, "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, as gorgeous as the sun, but Your Majesty is also a woman, I don't know if Your Majesty agrees with Princess Lian's words - the light of a woman can also be better than a man?" ”
This monk was straightforward and refreshing, changed his words, and brought the problem back to the original point. Li Wei frowned unconsciously, it seems that this person is also a good argument. She's going to have to deal with it.
"Princess Lian's words make sense." Li Wei responded.
"In this case, why didn't His Majesty answer Princess Lian's question directly, but instead threatened with words." The monk asked softly, but directly and sharply.
"Did I threaten me? I'm just interested in Princess Lian's high ambitions. ”
"Your Majesty is honorable. Thou shalt not speak outrageously. I waited for Xiyu to come to Beichen to pay tribute, in order to coexist peacefully. Now the pictures we bring and the questions we ask are all about the most mysterious holy place in Beichen Kingdom, and we also hope to make friends with your country. His Majesty instantly shifted and refocused on the topic, not knowing if he was deliberately provoking a dispute. The monk clasped his hands together and said something silently.
Li Wei couldn't help but secretly have a headache, this monk was really difficult to deal with.
The master said. It's me who is too excited. The first time I sat on the dragon chair and saw Xi Yu coming, I couldn't help but be a little excited. However, even if I am noble, I am still a human after all, and occasionally I will be sleepy, and I will also lose my words, after all, I am not a god respected by everyone in the Xiyi Kingdom. ”
Li Wei had no choice but to surrender her identity, but she clearly saw that the monk's eyebrows were raised, and she probably took something from her words.
The monk opened his eyes, but his gaze was still calm and clean, but it was very bright, "Your Majesty also claims to be a human being." In this way, not to talk about the identity of the Son of Heaven, only to talk about ordinary men and women in the world, is the moonlight in this painting better than the daylight? ”
When these words were asked, Li Wei realized that she had inadvertently fallen into his trap during the conversation just now. He first slowly pulled her down from a high position to be a person, and then mentioned this issue, taking it seriously step by step logic.
"The master laughed, this painting is the sunset and the bright moon in the clear abyss transformed by Yu Wei, the Son of Heaven, how can I put aside the identity of the Son of Heaven?" Li Wei thought that she had met her opponent, but the feeling of excitement made her feel unwell, and the tightness in her chest made her feel dizzy.
She forcibly held back the dizziness of her head, "This picture is Beichen's, the scenery in this picture is Beichen's, and the entire Beichen is in my hands, I am both the light of the sun and the light of the clear moon, as for whether the sun is more abundant or the moonlight, it is completely under my control." If my people need more sunshine, I will give more warmth; If my people need more silence, I will block out a little sunlight and raise a round moon. I am only responsible to the people of Beichen Kingdom, not to your words, and not to any of your questions. ”
The officials were in awe, and Lu Xiao continued to write hard.
Monk Qingyi's eyes were slightly sluggish, and after a moment of dumbness, he regained his vigor. This imperial woman was unparalleled in both intelligence and oral argument, and he felt that he was about to lose, but he had not met such a strong opponent for a long time, which made him more and more excited.
"But Qingyi is from Xiyi, Xiyi is subordinate to Beichen, so, Qingyi is also a citizen of Beichen, His Majesty Xià said that he is responsible for the people, why is he not responsible for Qingyi?"
Li Wei frowned: This monk problem is tricky.
At this time, a paging voice was heard outside the palace, "Lord Regent has come to see you-"
Li Wei frowned, habitually looked at the lotus beauty, and sure enough, when she saw her eyebrows fluttering, her whole body stared at the door of the main hall, but she almost didn't rush over. Hmph, she finally helped him go out to run errands this morning, and it was done so quickly? Is it to rush back to see this lotus beauty?
Li Wei also understood that she might be narrow-minded, but this uncomfortable feeling made her heart even more stuffy. Lu Xiao noticed her discomfort on the side and hurriedly moved the teacup for her. Li Wei smiled and nodded to thank him, took a sip of lotus seed bitter tea, and then quietly put down those nonsense thoughts.
Qi Mingfei hid behind Li Wei, and received special treatment from Guan Qianyi, he never dared to joke with his own life.
After Guan Qianyi and Li Wei met the ceremony, they greeted the envoy from Xiyi.
The old man didn't seem to be very happy with Guan Qianyi, with a sullen look on his face, and stepped aside after seeing the salute.
Lian Meiren has a soft figure, and her voice is even more coquettish, and she keeps saying that she is a big brother Yi, which makes Li Wei want to hammer people. Fortunately, Guan Qianyi ignored it, and returned to his seat after a few greetings.
"Your Majesty, you haven't answered Qingyi's question yet. Qingyi is from Xiyi, Xiyi is subordinate to Beichen, so, Qingyi is also a citizen of Beichen, His Majesty said that he is responsible for the people, why is he not responsible for Qingyi? The restatement of the original words was very clear, but it gave Li Wei a headache.
She rubbed her forehead and scattered some of the crown bead curtains that had obscured her gaze, "People? If the master is a citizen of Beichen, he needs to sign the name of my Beichen tribe. Xiyu and Beichen are only bound by the agreement, so they have the purpose of vassals. If one day the war between the two countries breaks out again, I will naturally only protect the people of Beichen. ”
The monk was stunned again, and then his eyes were shining again, "If Qingyi is registered in the household department, you will be responsible for Qingyi?" (To be continued.) )
