Chapter 879: Heavenly Reason, Human Desire
Hearing that Yinzhen changed her title, Ling Ruo's heart was relieved, although Yinzhen pointed out the mistakes she made, she would not be severely punished, "The concubine knows her mistakes, please punish the emperor." ”
Yin Zhen nodded slightly, and said: "I remember that you are out of kindness, I will not punish you severely, and after I go back, I will copy the "Diamond Sutra" three times as a punishment." ”
The heart that had just been relaxed was raised again because of this sentence, and she was free to do so, but on the side of Sanfu, Yinzhen did not say it explicitly, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, please also give Sanfu and Jade a grace, and the whole palace will definitely thank the emperor for his benevolence." ”
Yinzhen got up, stroked the Buddha beads on his wrist and sighed indifferently, and said: "Mencius once said: Cultivating the heart is not good at having few desires, and they don't want to do what slaves should do, so they will be punished soon." So Sanfu's affairs will be handled by the queen herself. Justice...... It is always impossible to coexist with human desires, and if human desires are indulged, then the Heavenly Principles will be suppressed, and I cannot do such things. ”
When Ling Ruo heard this, her heart suddenly became anxious, not only to cherish the two lives, but also to encourage the arrogance of the Nala clan, not to mention that if she could recover the two of Sanfu, it would be an excellent help for her, she was really unwilling to give up lightly, and after thinking nervously for a while, she tilted her head and said word by word: "Your Majesty, the desire of heaven and man has always coexisted, if the desire of man is destroyed, then the principle of heaven will no longer exist." ”
"Concubine Xi!" These two words Yinzhen carried a warning meaning, Ling Ruo heard it, but he still continued: "Heavenly principles and human desires are actually only in a thought, as long as people can restrain their meaningless desires, then there are heavenly principles in him." In the past, Sage Kong ran all his life, was he selfless? No, the concubine just thinks that he also has selfish intentions, and he is running around the world, which is nothing more than an official word. But the selfish desires of the saints are for the people of the world, so this is both desire and reason. It is not possible to beat it to death with a stick, thinking that everyone who wants it should be strangled. ”
Yin Zhen, who had already stood up and was about to go over to eat, stopped when he heard this, lowered his head to meet Ling Ruo's calm gaze, and said without emotion for a while: "Don't you think it's too ridiculous for you to compare Sanfu and their two minions with Sage Kong?" ”
Confucius is the representative of Confucianism in the world and has a supreme position, and even the emperor has to worship Confucius to show respect for Confucianism.
"The concubine didn't dare, but the concubine remembered that Sage Kong once said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher, choose the good one and follow it, and change it if it is not good." Ling Ruo suppressed the tension in his heart, and said calmly under Yinzhen's eyes: "That is to say, in the heart of Sage Kong, all people in the world are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low, but they are just different in status, either as masters or as slaves, but in the final analysis, they are all people!" ”
These words have crossed the bottom line that Ling Ruo should have said, but he has already said this, and there is no reason to turn back, and he continued: "Then, since the desire of Sage Kong has become a good thing; So, why did the emperor insist that the desire of Sanfu and Jade was a bad thing? And the concubines believe that the emperor is a virtuous and virtuous gentleman with a benevolent heart, and treats the people of the world well, otherwise the emperor would not have abolished the Jian nationality at the beginning, so that those happy households and private households can study and take scientific examinations, and they don't have to be humble for a lifetime. ”
Without waiting for Yinzhen to speak, she kowtowed her head for a long time, and let the brocade clothes spread behind her like the morning glow on the horizon, splendid and splendid, "So the concubine once again dared to ask the emperor to open up the net, and let Sanfu and Jade, the two emperor's people, have a way to live, and the palace will definitely thank the emperor for his kindness and pray for the emperor's blessing." ”
Sanfu gritted his teeth on the side, and also kowtowed, "Ask the emperor to open the Internet and let Sanfu and Jade have a way to live!" ”
After him, Shui Xiu and the others also knelt down, followed by other palace people, and after a while, except for Yinzhen and Su Peisheng, the rest of them all knelt on the ground.
Looking at this scene, Yin Zhen was silent, Ling Ruo's words just now really moved him, Tianli and human desires seem to be opposites, but in fact, they are dependent on each other, if they really want to destroy people's desires, then people will not be human, and the country will not be a country.
Ling Ruo waited quietly for Yinzhen to speak, she had already said what she could say and what she couldn't say, so if Yinzhen still adhered to the palace rules this time, if she didn't forgive Sanfu and the two, she would no longer have any way.
This time, Yin Zhen thought about it for a long time, until a glimmer of dawn gradually appeared in the sky, and then said, "That's it, get up." ”
"Your Majesty......" Ling Ruo stared at him nervously, for fear of hearing the answer he was most afraid of, her appearance made Yinzhen smile dumbly, stretched out his hand and pulled her up and said: "Look at you like this, you are more concerned about the life and death of these two people than the queen, even so, it is better to let them be your palace people." ”
Ling Ruo was overjoyed in his heart, although Yinzhen had never made it clear, but the meaning was already clear, he finally relented, and was willing to leave Sanfu and the two of them alive, thinking like this, he suddenly had the mind to joke, "If the emperor is willing to give these two people to the concubines, of course the concubines can't ask for them, but I am afraid that the queen will not give up." ”
Looking at those smiling eyes, Yin Zhen shook his head forgivingly, but he didn't let go of Ling Ruo's hand, "I said it casually, but you took it seriously." If you really want to, you can ask the queen for it yourself. Saying this, he glanced at Ling Ruo and said, "But you too, you pleaded for Hanyan before, and this time you interceded for Sanfu, it seems that you are addicted to pleading, aren't you afraid that I will punish you like last time?" ”
Ling Ruoji said with certainty: "Princess Jingyue is different from Sanfu, at that time, the emperor was forced to let the princess marry far away, but in the emperor's heart, he was actually unwilling. But Sanfu's life and death are only between the emperor's thoughts, and with the emperor's kindness, they will definitely be let live. ”
"You, you've told you all the words." Yin Zhen shook her head and didn't continue, but pulled her to the table, "Come, accompany me to breakfast, speaking of which, I usually use it alone, do you have you with me today." ”
Ling Ruo sat beside Yinzhen and said with a smile: "If the emperor likes it, the concubines will come to accompany you for breakfast every day after tomorrow." ”
"Just because I agreed to your request today?" Yin Zhen personally scooped a bowl of millet porridge in front of Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo covered his mouth and smiled: "The concubine is not that kind of person, the emperor should not wronged the concubine." The concubines just watched the emperor get up before dawn every day, and they worked very hard, so they wanted to accompany the emperor. ”
Everyone will say good things, but for some reason, coming out of Ling Ruo's mouth made Yin Zhen feel very comfortable, and chuckled: "Forget it, I can't help it if I want to go to the court, but you can sleep a little longer, otherwise you will lose energy during the day." ”
