After the emperor finished saying this, he covered his chest and coughed lightly, I looked at his somewhat pale face, frowned, and said softly: "What is the matter with the emperor's injury?" "Isn't it a bitter ploy? Why is it so serious? Seeing that the emperor was just leaning back in his chair and looking at me lightly, with no intention of answering at all, I bit my lip and realized that I was troubled. I heard the doctor say in Taimiao that he was injured by evil magic, his meridians were broken, and the evil wind entered his brain, but I was afraid that it was all a conspiracy to lie. Since he didn't want to say it, he naturally had his scruples, although I was concerned, but in the eyes of a person like him, maybe I would think that I had ulterior motives to probe him. Besides, his mind is so heavy, he will never do anything to make himself suffer, why should I worry about him?

Sure enough, the emperor made an unapprelieving expression: "It's no big deal, just rest for a few days." "How long do you want to recuperate? He has also been cultivating in Taimiao for more than a month. But it is understandable that even if he is injured and about to die, I am afraid that he will not say it to shake the morale of the army. I smiled, didn't say anything, and changed the topic: "The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, the king of the world, the power of the sky, and the blessing of life." ”

The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and I pretended not to see it, making a sincere expression. The emperor looked at me for a long time, sighed helplessly, and mocked: "Madame Ronghua really has the ability to make the dead alive. ”

"What the concubine said is true." I don't scare him, this time the expression is really sincere, "The emperor turned things around in a few words and quelled the imminent riot in Donghuamen, and the concubines sincerely admired. ”

"Are you there?" The Emperor sensitively grasped the key to my words and stared at me sharply. I was afraid that he would think too much, so I quickly explained: "Does the emperor still remember Zhou Fusheng who lived in the concubine's mansion? It just so happened that he was the child of this year, the child didn't know the height of the sky, and he also ran to the royal street, and the concubine was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he went to find him back, and just bumped into the situation when the emperor returned to the palace. ”

"Afraid he'll get into trouble?" The emperor glanced at me with a smile and said lazily, "In your opinion, are the students knocking on the books to cause trouble?" I think they are loyal and patriotic, and their hearts are commendable. "That's because they've done you a great favor, of course you said that. Seeing his slightly smug death, I secretly cursed in my heart. The Donghuamen Revolution raised the prestige of the emperor, but King Jing's reputation was discredited, and the students had driven King Jing to a dead end, and the emperor was of course secretly happy.

"That's because the emperor came back and stopped a possible riot." I said with a straight face, "What if the emperor doesn't come back in time?" I glanced at the emperor and smiled faintly, "Or is it that the emperor has a plan in his heart, or is it a clever plan, and it will definitely appear at that time?" "If this is the case, this turmoil of the ancient indignant youth and student tide is not simple, but is the emperor so sure that he can control all things? As long as there is a slight accident in the middle, the consequences will be immeasurable.

"What if I don't show up?" The emperor said lightly. You can't think of it? I'm angry, why do you deliberately pick on my thorns again and again? I gritted my teeth, hesitated for a moment, and repeated what I had said to Fusheng in the teahouse. The emperor looked at me with blazing eyes, and instead of being happy because I patted his ass, he said coldly: "The student who cares about the world asks for the life of the people, do you say that he is stupid and brave?" What does the imperial court do with the Dengwen drum? Is it not a viable system to knock on the book? ”

"It's not impossible to knock on the book, it's just that it shouldn't be done." You're not happy when I pat you, to be honest, you're still unhappy, I'm very unhappy, this guy is really hard to please, "Does the emperor really agree with the radical behavior of the students who besiege the palace gate?" This is a blatant challenge to the authority of the imperial court, and if any villain learns this trick in the future, the imperial court will no longer have any prestige at all. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at me deeply, his gaze was unpredictable, and he said for a moment: "Then you say, what should this matter do?" ”

"The concubine believes that the mastermind who took the lead in inciting the students to knock on the book should be punished, otherwise it will not be a proper system." I said lightly, "The emperor thinks that he has merit in this matter, but there is no way to talk about this merit openly, and the concubines always think that his merits are greater than his merits." ”

"You don't seem to think much of him?" The emperor smiled slightly, not knowing what he thought, and pursed his lips. I smiled and shook my head: "I don't think much of him, but I appreciate him." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Can you appreciate it if you don't like it?" Why Enjoy? ”

"I appreciate him because he has qualities worthy of appreciation, simplicity and integrity, impatience for justice and righteousness, and courage to take on difficult tasks, so that 'the life and death of the country can be benefited, and it will not be avoided because of blessings and misfortunes'." I smiled and said, "The country needs this kind of peace and security, and the administration is good for the people; Stand up in an emergency and bow down to the students who are in need of the emergency. ”

"If that's the case, why aren't you optimistic?" The Emperor asked with interest. I pursed my lips, if I really want to say what I mean, it may cause some obstacles to the political future of this Su Yu. When the emperor saw that I hesitated, he said "um" impatiently, and I had to admit frankly: "There are two sides to everything, and simple people look at things simply and one-sidedly, black is black, white is white, and they don't pay attention to the deep shades of gray between black and white; It is easy to be stubborn, not to know how to be flexible, and not to know how to turn around; Those who are anxious for justice and righteousness are prone to impulsiveness and may act recklessly; If you have too much courage, you are more likely to be bold. Taking this time he led his students to knock on the book as an example, there were four mistakes: coercing the people to coerce the court, besieging the palace gate, and making the prestige of the court lose everything, one of them; Creating a bad example for the world and leaving endless troubles, secondly; almost ruined the emperor's painstaking efforts to reform the official system, thirdly; The most important thing is that he led the students to knock on the book, putting thousands of students in a very dangerous situation, what he brought was not a group of ordinary people, but the pillars of talent selected from all over the country, if the emperor did not arrive in time, King Jing really suppressed them, blood splashed on the royal street, not only let the court leave a notoriety, scolded by later generations, but more importantly, the country lost so many elites in vain, and it may not be able to recover for decades! ”

As I elaborated, the emperor's eyes became more and more solemn, and as soon as I finished my last sentence, his gaze instantly became terrifying and domineering, and I felt a little furious in my heart. I swallowed my saliva, I didn't know if I had touched the emperor's scales, and I was a little apprehensive. The temple was so quiet that the needles could be heard, and the emperor's fingertips tapped lightly on the handrail, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not make a sound. The suffocating silence flooded over like a tide, and I took a nervous breath before I heard the emperor say in a slow voice: "Without the ability to control the changes, without the long-term vision, according to you, this Su Yu is not of great use?" ”

I don't mean to ruin someone's future. I shook my head and smiled: "It is understandable that those students could not fully understand the situation in the imperial court, and only saw the mistakes where they could see. Although there are some misdeeds, as the emperor said, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to the monarch and patriotic. The concubines are just talking about their own opinions on this matter, and they should not affect the emperor's arbitrary decision. ”

"Asami? You are not afraid that your shallow views will ruin the future of others. The Emperor looked at me meaningfully, seemingly casually. I can't afford this crime, I raised my eyebrows, a little displeased, and my tone became sharp: "The concubine is looking at the pros and cons of this matter from the perspective of national stability and long-term development, how can her personal future be on a par with the interests of the country?" If you compare the country to a chessboard, the emperor is the one who plays chess, and the civil and military officials and the people are all chess pieces in your hands. The court needs loyal ministers, virtuous ministers, and capable ministers, and it also needs to destroy ministers and foolish ministers, depending on what role they play on the chessboard. Whether it is white or black, it is detrimental to the overall situation, even good chess must be abandoned; It is beneficial to the overall situation, even if it is a bad game, it should also be retained. What's more, the talent and beauty of jade must also be pondered before it can be made. The emperor is good at chess, so he naturally knows which chess piece to put in the most appropriate place at what time and controls the overall situation of the chessboard. ”
