Chapter 240: Xunzi
After Huo Jingcheng figured it out, there was a burst of hatred and love in his heart, he suddenly clasped the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Soft touch, breath intertwined, sink each other in an instant. She met him on tiptoe, raised her arm around his neck, and felt his iron arm around his waist tighten more and more, as if to pull her into her chest and melt into her bones.
The lips are crushed, the soft tongues are entangled, the breath is slightly heavy with each other, and the kiss is inseparable.
"Your Majesty!" Qin An's voice suddenly came from outside.
The two of them woke up in an instant, and they separated together, and Yao Dui retreated to the side with a red face.
Huo Jingcheng fixed his eyes and said to the outside world: "What's the matter?" ”
Qin An said: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here." ”
Huo Jingcheng's expression instantly became serious: "Let him in!" ”
Qin An lifted the bamboo curtain, and Huo Yizheng walked in. Today, he was wearing a crow-blue robe, but his dark color was even more pale, obviously from a hangover.
He stopped in front of Huo Jingcheng and knelt down and saluted: "Erchen knocks to see the father, long live the father." Yi Zheng asked Concubine Chen to be safe. ”
"No courtesy."
Huo Yizheng got up, lowered his head and stood still, without a trace of a smile on his little face.
Huo Jingcheng looked at him and asked, "Are you sober?" ”
Huo Yizheng nodded: "Yes." ”
Huo Jingcheng asked again: "Can you know what happened yesterday?" ”
Huo Yizheng was stunned for a moment, and then said stubbornly: "There is nothing wrong with the son." ”
"Huh!" Huo Jingcheng sneered: "Okay, I'll list your mistakes, and you can listen well." First, there are moves without stopping, and temper is worse than strength! Second, the heart does not hide things, and the mouth does not hide words! Can you recognize it? ”
Huo Yizheng raised his eyes to look at him, ignorant and begged for advice: "I still hope that my father will make it clear." ”
Huo Jingcheng immediately said: "You can't beat Cheng Ze, why can't you bear it?" If you want to wage war, you have to have a good strategy and a good grasp of victory! Otherwise, if you suffer on impulse, you only have moves and no blocks, and your temper is worse than your strength! ”
Huo Yizheng understood when he heard this, and asked, "Father, if it's you, what should you do?" ”
Yao Duran couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to hear it, what will you do in that situation?" In short, the concubine felt that what Yi Zheng did was not wrong. If we don't fight that fight, where is the demeanor and majesty of our prince? ”
Huo Jingcheng turned his eyes to look at her, very seriously: "Okay, now that I fight, where is the demeanor and majesty?" This defeat, the previous demeanor and majesty are a joke of courage and strategy! ”
Yao Duran said: "Then what should I do?" If you don't fight, it's a joke, so if it's Your Majesty, what will you do? ”
Huo Jingcheng turned to his son and said in a solemn tone: "How to do it?" Bear with it! Hit it! Your mistake is that you didn't endure it, and you didn't fight hard! ”
Huo Yizheng: "Ruthless? ”
Yao Duran: "Ruthless? ”
Huo Jingcheng looked at the two of them, and his eyes fell on Huo Yizheng: "Not bad!" If you have to fight this fight, you just win with one move, and call on the guards to fight Cheng Ze with an order! As long as you take care of it, even if you make a mistake, Lao Tzu will have to carry it for you! Okay now, you've been beaten up in your Lao Tzu's territory? Lao Tzu treats the world politely, and we are the master and they are guests, so we have to compensate others, but you win the battle Lao Tzu to compensate, and your heart is also comfortable! But if you beat Lao Tzu and then go to compensate others, it is really a nest of fire and a nest! ”
After hearing this, Yao Duran suddenly realized, glanced at Huo Yizheng, and saw that his eyes also suddenly lit up.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Huo Jingcheng snorted coldly: "So, either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, you will fight hard!" Fight and win! Don't be like Cao Cao who went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to defeat miserably! ”
Huo Yizheng lowered his eyes: "Father, the son understands!" ”
Huo Jingcheng turned to Yao Duran: "What about you?" A few more words? ”
Yao Dui said in a gray manner: "The concubine also understands, so I won't argue." ”
He snorted from his nose, looked at his son again, and said, "Second, the heart does not hide things, and the mouth does not hide words. You guys have made a fuss in front of everyone, no, your cousin Wen Tao came out to explain the process and explain right from wrong! Among them, the rights and wrongs are self-evident when people hear them! Then then, it's time for you to shut up Lao Tzu! What gentleman does not stand under the wall? What is unintentional and wrong, and intentional is evil? What cousin's virtue is at risk? Are these words something you can say in public? Do you want your fourth uncle to dig a hole in the ground and get into it? ”
Huo Yizheng listened quietly and did not answer.
Huo Jingcheng continued: "You don't have to say everything to know people, and if you say everything, you have no friends. Blame people don't have to be harsh, and if they are harsh, they will be far away. Feel the deception of people, and don't be angry! Examine the faults of others, and do not praise them! There are some things, some words, I know it well, and I don't have to say it! You can't even export it in public! The sparrow also has a face the size of a melon seed, as soon as your words come out, the straight face hurts people's faces, it is difficult for your fourth uncle to step down, and it is even more difficult for your old son to step down! ”
Huo Yizheng lowered his head when he heard this: "The son-in-law understands, what the father said is very right, the son-in-law admits these two mistakes, the son-in-law knows that he is wrong, he will introspect and change himself, and hope that the father will forgive." ”
Huo Jingcheng's complexion softened.
Huo Yizheng raised his head suddenly, and said calmly: "Father, why are you so vulgar when you talk to your sons today?" Lao Tzu is long and Lao Tzu is short, you didn't say that before. ”
Huo Jingcheng said angrily: "Lao Tzu used to be too gentle and elegant to you, and taught you to be too obedient!" So much so that you have more virtue than wisdom! From now on, you give Lao Tzu more masculinity, toughness, and flexibility! Equal in civil and military, both moral and intelligent! Don't be full of dead stuff in the books! Those things can only help you cultivate virtue, but they can't help you cultivate the Tao! What is the Tao? The rivers and lakes are the way, the world is the way, and it is the only way to endure the vulgar but no one can avoid the vulgar! On this path, there will be no complete gentleman! If you stick to the virtues of a gentleman and do this, you will be a good man, but you will not be a strong man! What is a gentleman? It's not that a gentleman doesn't do bad things, but that a gentleman does a better job! It's not that a gentleman doesn't play tricks, but a gentleman is more clever! Got it! ”
Huo Yizheng said slowly: "What my father said is a hypocrite. ”
Huo Jingcheng's eyes lit up with eagle light, and he raised his hand to point at Huo Yizheng's heart: "Are you talking about you Lao Tzu?" You're a hypocrite, what's the matter? If you are a righteous man and a gentleman, you will not have a son! Because you can't live to give birth to you at all! Remember, the loss of virtue is small, and the virtue is great! This is you! ”
Huo Yizheng lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Father is angry, it was his son who said the wrong thing." The father and the emperor have taught his sons, and no one is completely absolute. ”
Huo Jingcheng eased his face and exhaled lightly: "Remember, a gentleman needs virtue, but virtue is indispensable for wisdom, and wisdom is revealed in the Tao, and the Tao is not all good, and the one we have walked the most in our life is the Tao!" Got it? ”
Huo Yizheng said: "Erchen seems to understand, and he will ponder it after he goes back." ”
Huo Jingcheng said: "After I go back, I will hand over an article to me on the three words of virtue, wisdom, and Tao, and I should be fine and not long." Well, go for it! ”
"Yes, the retainers are retired." Huo Yizheng saluted and left.
Huo Jingcheng sat back on the imperial case with a handsome face, took a sip of the teacup, and said to himself: "I am really a hypocrite? ”
Yao Duran snickered in her heart for a while, and then she walked to the side of the case, and simply sharpened the ink with nothing to do, and said: "In the heart of the concubine, Your Majesty is a righteous gentleman. ”
He said, "Really? ”
Yao Duran smiled and nodded: "Really, Your Majesty is rigid and soft, virtuous and wise, broad-minded, and courteous to the world." And, handsome, personable, sometimes steady, sometimes funny, is a perfect man. ”
After hearing this, he finally had a smile on his face, looked at her and said, "Then do you like it?" ”
Yao Duran said: "It's not just about liking. ”
His eyes suddenly lit up: "What else?" ”
Yao Duran but smiled silently.
At this time, Qin An reported outside, saying that Biya had sent a dress.
The conversation between the two ended without a hitch. After Yao Duran changed his clothes in his imperial study, he retired and left, and went to Fenghuan Palace. Yishuang is still in Fenghuan Palace, and she wants to pick it up.
When she arrived, Ruomei said that Yishuang was frightened, and the two palace ladies took her to the garden of Fenghuan Palace to relax. Yao Duran had to sit in the queen's bedroom and wait.
At this time, the queen had already lost her breath, and was leisurely leaning on the beauty couch to look through Huo Yizheng's calligraphy, and after flipping through it for a while, she suddenly didn't raise her head and said: "Concubine Chen, many things are almost enough, although the palace has earned face for you and supported the field, it does not mean that the palace really agrees." It's easy to resolve grievances, and often difficult to resolve grievances have to be resolved by life and death. ”
Yao Duran listened to it, and secretly thought in her heart that she and Concubine Li had already had a life-and-death battle, and they had already formed an unsolvable grudge.
And also? What do you mean by almost? Did she return Yishuang earlier? How can it be? She knows better than anyone else that with Yishuang in her hands, she is taking Concubine Li's weakness in her hands, and this war is easy to fight.
After thinking about it, Yao Duran respectfully accepted a few words from the queen. At this time, the side hall sent Gong E over.
"The queen mother, Concubine Chen, the slave maid was ordered by Ning Zhaoyi to invite Concubine Chen to sit in the side hall."
Yao Duran looked at how Gong E looked familiar and asked, "What's your name?" Why is it so familiar? ”
Gong E replied: "The slave maid Qiuyan has served Ning Zhaoyi a long time ago. Last year, His Majesty's army returned south after the Northern Expedition, and the slaves and maids were already serving by Ning Zhaoyi's side, and they also rode by car with Concubine Chen, Ning Zhaoyi, and Sister Lu Yan. ”
Yao Duran suddenly realized: "I see. When you go back to Ning Zhaoyi, you will say that the palace is not available today, and you will visit her another day. ”
"Yes." Qiu Yan and Xing bowed and retreated.
The queen put down the notebook and looked at her with a smile: "It seems that you really have a knot in your heart for Ning Wanshu?" ”
Yao Duran said calmly: "No heart knot is fake, there was no credible person around me in the past, let alone now that I have entered the harem, many thoughts will only become more and more intense." ”
