Chapter 174: Humility and Holiness

Song Zhiwen got on the boat as he wished. I was invited into a miscellaneous room full of buckets and swill.

......

Wu Ning, Taiping and the others stood on the shore in the distance, watching Song Daling bend down and thank Sun Yicheng again and again, watching him get on the boat with cold eyes, and looking at ......

He walked around the loaded horses with envy, and went into the dirty, smelly room with anticipation.

"All of a sudden, I feel bored." Princess Taiping looked lonely, and looked at Wu Ning and suddenly said such a sentence.

"How?" Wu Ning smiled lightly, "Your Highness is a little unbearable?" ”

"That's not true, I just think this person is really pitiful."

"Yesterday, in the face of the people, you and me, I still flaunted my might like a saint. But now, it is not as humble as an animal. ”

"This kind of person is not worth the trouble of this palace."

“......”

Everyone was silent, and looked at the official ship quietly for a long time, Wu Ning suddenly shook his head and said, "I think there seems to be no difference between him and us." ”

"What?" Princess Taiping frowned, "You mean that this palace is in general with this villain?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Wu Ning explained with a wry smile, "I mean, peeling back the appearance, the essence is not the same. ”

"Doesn't that still mean the same thing?"

“......”

Well, Wu Laojiu secretly hated, why do you have this mouth?

He actually wanted to say that not only Song Zhiwen, everyone has two sides, and they all have a humble and holy side.

Perhaps, Song Zhiwen's eating appearance is a little ugly, but after thinking about it, who is not like this?

The only difference may just be that the things pursued are different.

"Song Zhiwen can let go of all principles for the sake of power and fame."

"What about us? What are we willing to let go of our principles? ”

Pointing to the man who was carrying his luggage to the boat, "Your Highness, look at that person." ”

"According to his age, he must have been married for many years, and he must be someone's husband and someone's father. If you don't have your parents in the church, and you return home, you will be the head of the family with your wife and children by your side. ”

But it was this responsibility of raising children and raising daughters, the head of the family, that made him have to put down his family's status and prestige, come out to be an ordinary man, and earn money to support his family. I have to bend down when I see people, and smile all the time. ”

"If you think about it, how similar is he to Song Zhiwen?"

"......", Princess Taiping did not speak.

I heard Wu Ning continue: "Why shouldn't I? ”

"With His Royal Highness on the side, facing Song Zhi's question, why am I not arrogant like a saint?"

"But what about going back down the hill?" Wu Laojiu smiled bitterly and spread his hands, looking at Wu Laoba and Wu Laoten, "You still dare to pretend to be a saint?" Zujun's big stick is not a joke, he will chase you all over the country and call your mother. ”

Wu Laoba nodded yes, and couldn't help but recall the past of being beaten.

"Tsk, it's like an animal."

"Come on, you!" Wu Qi pursed his lips, also with a bitter face, "You dare to compare with livestock?" When did you see Zujun hunting livestock? He couldn't bear it! ”

Taiping wanted to laugh, but he thought of Wu Ning's reasoning in his heart, and retorted: "That's different, Jiulang don't be unreasonable." ”

"Maybe!"

Wu Ning didn't argue too much with Princess Taiping, but said: "Everyone has two sides, and everyone has the principle of being willing to compromise for it." ”

"The man was humbled for the sake of his family; Di Fat Man is humbled for the righteousness in his heart. ”

"What about us? For the sake of the great stick of the ancestor is humble. ”

"What about Your Highness? What about Brother Meng? What are you willing to do to put down your body and humble yourself? ”

“......”

Princess Taiping and Meng Cangsheng both pondered:

What am I willing to humble myself for, to let go of my pride? Letting go of principles?

Meng Cangsheng glanced at Wu Ning deeply, he didn't know why, he always felt that Wu Ning's words seemed to mean something, as if he was foreseeing something.

"You really haven't read this book in vain." Looking up at Song Zhi, who had gotten on the boat, he asked, "That person who has studied for half his life just for fame is really lost." ”

"You're good, you don't say much about your fame, but you teach everyone a lesson. How? Don't want to be your runaway and want to be a sage? ”

"Huh." Wu Ning smiled lightly and glanced at Meng Daoye lightly.

didn't answer his words, but said: "Then Brother Meng should remember a little, it will be of great use in the future!" ”

After speaking, he didn't dwell on this matter, "What's the matter?" Let's get on the boat now, will we meet that Song Daling? ”

"Forget it!"

Princess Taiping flattened her mouth, "It's boring in the first place, and it's even more uninteresting for you to say this." ”

"When he enters the grocery hold, let's go up again, I don't want to see his ugly face now!"

“......”

Wu Ning was speechless, the same boat is on the same journey, don't you want to see each other sooner or later?

Besides, for a villain like Song Zhiwen who is open-minded, ridiculing in front of him may not be the most painful, but let him find out for himself that the so-called princess and wealthy magnate are the same ones he just scolded the prodigal man and girl the day before.

That kind of fear, that kind of self-blame and remorse, is the deadliest!

......

——————

In fact, it is.

Although Song Daling entered the miscellaneous room, his heart was still thinking about Her Royal Highness the princess and the powerful people who were on the same boat, and naturally he always paid attention to Taiping and others who had not yet boarded the ship.

However, when he saw those few murderous figures through the crack in the door, Song Daling went crazy, and he only felt that the whole world had collapsed.

He was shocked, he was overwhelmed, and he held a grudge even more.

He trembled with fear, and locked the hatch of the miscellaneous room to prevent anyone from entering. He and his servants did not eat or drink, and they curled up in it for two days and two nights.

Until the official ship had arrived in Xiangzhou, Princess Taiping and her entourage had already disembarked from the ship.

"Song Daling, come out!"

"You! You've mistaken someone! The official ...... It's not a big order, you recognize the wrong person! ”

The boatman smiled bitterly outside, and said in his heart, it really doesn't look like a big order, why is there no backbone at all?

"Her Royal Highness the princess has already left, how long will the Great Order stay?"

"Gone?" Song Zhi asked if he believed it, "Why did you leave?" ”

"If you don't leave, you can still accompany the big order on the ship?"

The boatman furrowed his brows, "When Your Highness leaves, let the little one pass a message to the big order." ”

"What?"

"Your Highness called the Great Order, so that you can do it yourself."

Shape up or ship out......

Shape up or ship out!!

In an instant, Song Zhiwen's whole body went weak and collapsed to the ground. Not a relief, but an unprecedented frustration.

It turns out that in the eyes of others, he is only worth one sentence, so he can do it for himself!

......

————————

On the other side, the eastern capital is Luoyang.

Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, Shangguan Wan'er, and Wenchang's right minister Cen Changqian, several of the most core figures of the Tang Dynasty's power, were accompanying Mrs. Wu to discuss court affairs in the palace.

In fact, it is said that he is accompanying Wu Zetian to discuss politics, but it is better to accompany the old lady to chat and relieve boredom.

In the spring and summer of this year, the wind and rain were smooth, the government was harmonious, and there was no important matter in the joint local government, and the government affairs of the DPRK and China were also much more leisurely.

The three prime ministers, plus Shangguan Xiaowan, took advantage of the reason to discuss politics to accompany Mrs. Wu to drink tea and contact feelings, but it was the best time.

Wu Chenghei was empty, raised his eyes and glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and said with a smile: "Shangguan talent, today's clothes are so chic!" ”

When Cen Changqian heard this, she also looked up at the official Xiaowan.

"Heh, Wu Nayan didn't mention that the old man hadn't paid attention to it, Shangguan Cairen's clothes were indeed chic."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and didn't say a word, but she didn't expect that even the two prime ministers noticed this moon-white men's clothes. This is what Princess Taiping just sent back a few days ago and brought her to wear.

Wu Sansi also interjected with a smile at this time, "Sansi asserted that in less than a month, I am afraid that the beautiful women in Beijing will follow behind Shangguan Cairen again, wearing men's clothes." ”

"Humph!!"

No, Old Lady Wu snorted coldly.

"The robe is still eye-catching, but the person who makes the clothes ......"

"But it's not good!"
