Chapter 119 The people are the most important, and the king is the lightest
Qin Fang's words made Nangong Rui a little stunned for a while, and made the eyes of Imperial Doctor Tan and the others standing on the side even more shocked!
Since the emperor asked this, who would answer so rebelliously? This is the first time I've ever experienced it!
"Lord Huijun! How dare you say that you are meritorious? Imperial Physician Tan immediately stepped forward excitedly: "Ancient precepts, the people of Anle Hall are left to fend for themselves, they are happy, and no one has ever rescued them, if you want to save them, you can show your ability, even if you misappropriate the herb materials prepared by Bixia for the princess to those people without authorization, isn't it a crime for you to deceive?" In my opinion, you are not only guilty of trespassing, but also of deceit! ”
As soon as Imperial Physician Tan's words came out, several imperial physicians around him nodded in agreement, each with a righteous and indignant face, which made Qin Fang look a little unappetizing.
"Qing Huan!" At this moment, Nangong Rui opened his mouth again: "You have also heard what the imperial doctors said, now, have you been convicted?" ”
This time, Nangong Rui's voice didn't drink lightly, but just looked at her words unhappily, as if she was a little puzzled, wondering if she didn't know that she had made a mistake.
Qin Fang once again raised his voice and replied: "Your Majesty, Qing Huan is still guilty of not realizing it, only merit!" ”
"Oh?" Nangong Rui raised his eyebrows: "Then you might as well talk about it, how you are innocent and how meritorious!" ”
Qin Fang replied yes, and then boldly looked up at Nangong Rui: "Your Majesty, before Qing Huan explains, I dare to ask you a question, this question will be a little offensive, and please forgive me first." ”
Nangong Rui's eyes rolled: "I forgive you for your innocence, ask!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Qing Huan asked. In your eyes. How did you become the ruler of a country and rule the world? ”
It's just a question, but it's a taboo question among the monarchs and ministers, and for a while, there were only the stares of the imperial doctor and others in the hall, as if they didn't believe that this woman was so bold, and Nangong Rui and Qin Fang looked at each other, the superior stared at it, and the kneeling person was not afraid.
Less. Nangong Rui's face was already gloomy: "With the blood of the king, with the respect of the Ninety-Five!" ”
Qin Fang shook his head slightly when he heard this: "No, this is not the real answer, you are indeed the king's blood is valuable, and you are the honor of the Ninety-Five, but if you trace it back to the king of the opening dynasty, you were also a ...... for the people at the beginning."
"Presumptuous!" When Nangong Rui heard this, he immediately patted the armrest and got up, and Qin Fang's voice was twice as high as he grabbed the first words: "But Weishenme, he can become the king of the opening dynasty and the king of my Nanzhao Kingdom, because he has won the hearts of the people." The people's heart! ”
The four words of zuihou made Nangong Rui's angry words choke in his throat. He stared at Qin Fang and couldn't speak for a while, after all, he couldn't say that the ancestor of the Kai Dynasty was unpopular with the people, right?
And Qin Fang took the opportunity to continue to talk eloquently: "Your Majesty, when Qing Huan was studying at home in the past, my father once told me a sentence, saying that there was a sage who said, 'The people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the king is light', at first he was annoyed, saying how dare he despise the king so much, this is a great disrespect!" But then the man said, "Only those who are favored by the people can be honored as kings, because the people want to do so; The gods who pray for the blessings of the people and bless the peace of the world can be worshiped by the people and kings and become the gods of the country, but on the contrary, there is no king recognized by the people, there is no title, there are no subjects, there will only be no country, if there is no country and no society, what is the king? Do you think so? ”
Nangong Rui's lips opened twice, and the person slowly sat back in the dragon chair.
It is true that his ancestors brought down the world, but if the people do not accept it, can this country really stand up? What's more, Qin Fang's words can't be found at all, how can a monarch who has no people be considered a monarch?
He nodded after all: "That's right, I don't know which sage said it?" ”
Qin Fang shook her head helplessly: "I couldn't ask my father at that time, and I can't answer today, but Qing Huan remembered my father's entrustment, he said that you will become the crown princess in the future, and accompany the prince by your side, if one day he is the king, you are by your side, you must remember to help the king win the hearts of the people forever and be a haode queen, so as to be worthy of the emperor's grace." It's just that today, although Qing Huan is impossible to be the queen, he still wants to help the emperor win the hearts of the people forever, and it is Qing Huan who did this for you. ”
"For me?" Nangong Rui's eyes flashed with a different color.
"That's right! Most of the people in Anle Hall are palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, although there are ancient precepts, let them fend for themselves, but in the end they are your slaves and your people, if they don't care about their life and death, let them fend for themselves, what will the people in the world think? Do you think that the emperor has abandoned them and doesn't want them anymore? ”
"The county lord has passed this!" Imperial Physician Tan choked at this time: "It has been three generations since the founding of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and no one has ever spoken out for the people of Anle Hall, you are making an excuse for yourself!" ”
"That's not an excuse!" Qin Fang said and looked at Imperial Physician Tan: "Grievances have always been accumulated and generated, and the people's hearts are gradually leaving, and what can be eliminated is not eliminated, just like if there is a small gap in the river embankment, you don't repair it, don't gamble, you have to wait until the embankment is destroyed in the future and people die to repair it, isn't it over?" Even if you are a medical officer, you should also worry about the emperor's insistence on the world, how can you ignore such a small gap? Do you think that my king's kingdom is unstable? ”
What is a buttoned hat? It's called buttoning a hat!
Imperial Doctor Tan wants to give her the hat of arrogance and bullying, and she will give him the hat that must intend to destroy the country, she wants to see if this old man can hold on!
Sure enough, in a word, the frightened Imperial Physician Tan immediately changed his face and knelt down, shouting, the minister would never have such a heart, but Nangong Rui didn't pay much attention to him, just looked at Qin Fang: "So, are you going to help and pacify this part of the people for me?" ”
Qin Fang blinked: "Yes, Qing Huan is to appease these people and put an end to the resentment that the surrounding people may have in their hearts, but this is only part of it, and there is a bigger reason that in the Anle Hall, there are diseases like tuberculosis, which is likely to become the source of the beginning of an epidemic, if it is not treated and controlled early, it may make more people infected with tuberculosis, which will make your capital plagued by illness, and the country will be uneasy." ”
Nangong Rui's face had a touch of uneasiness, as a person who had just ascended the throne and was bent on consolidating the imperial power, he knew very well that if the weak capital city was entangled by the plague, then his country would indeed face turmoil, and at this moment, he really felt that this matter was so involved.
"Therefore, Qing Huan is the person you went to treat for the emperor, and wants to contribute to the stability of your country, is it true that what Qing Huan did so carefully is really guilty in the eyes of the emperor?"
How could Nangong Rui convict Qin Fang at this moment, if he was convicted, wouldn't there be no one to contribute to his stability in the future?
"Indeed, you are not guilty, and you are meritorious." Nangong Rui's affirmative words, but at this time, Imperial Physician Tan said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, although Lord Hui is not guilty of trespassing for your sake, but without your permission, he selfishly used the medicinal materials for the princess's treatment elsewhere, this is unauthorized misappropriation, and it is a real crime of bullying the king!"
