Chapter 35: The Autumn Wind Is Like a Knife: The King's Righteousness!

Under his sister's puzzled gaze, Song Junzhe opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was there for a while, unable to speak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then he stood up, took his hands, paced back and forth a few steps, and bowed his head in contemplation. After a while, he pointed to his sister and said, "You are still young, this kind of thing, for a while...... I can't tell you clearly. Many things that can't be seen at the surface, you know...... Can't look at the surface. ”

The girl who couldn't get an answer from her brother became more and more confused in her eyes, and lowered her head: "Moreover, I don't understand why my brother hates him so much." My father was originally just a powerless county king, but now he is the son of heaven, and his brother is also a prince, which is an unexpected wealth that flew in. This time, if it weren't for Ning Gongzi's design to destroy the iron cavalry chasing us, we would have already fallen into the hands of the barbarians. At that time, when we were being chased by the barbarian army, did the imperial brother forget? Just because of what Lu Yi said, my brother hated him so much, and he always felt ...... A little bit of grace will take revenge! ”

"What do you know, girl?" Song Junzhe slammed the table and scolded loudly.

Baotong was so frightened that he shrunk, and the palace maid outside the bead curtain was even more panicked and didn't dare to come in.

Originally, he just subconsciously said what was in his heart, but he didn't expect to make his brother angry like this, and Baotong was a little frightened for a while. The royal brother said that she didn't understand, but what did she not understand? She rubbed the corners of her clothes uneasily, trying to figure it out, but she still couldn't figure it out, so she raised her head, hoping that her brother could explain it to her.

A hand pointed in front of her: "I know, I know!" Do you really want to marry him? Before anyone got married, his arms began to turn outward, otherwise, why did he speak for him so much? You women, all the same, one by one, are like throwing your arms into that kind of goods. I thought it was my sister, and it was different from everyone else, but it turned out to be the same. ”

The girl blurted out, "No! ”

There was a snap, but a slap had already fallen on her face. The body and the stool tilted together, and boom, the sound of the head colliding with the foot of the bed. The girl who fell to the ground covered her face in horror, the roar of her ear drums, and the irrepressible vibration. At the same time, there is more panic and fear that I don't understand why I find such treatment.

The body kept shrinking back, and the elder brother pointed from above, the hand that seemed to tremble with the whole room, accompanied by his thunderous vibration: "Give me a good place to take it here, and think it out for myself." I looked down on Prince Ben at the beginning, and now I want to marry my sister...... You keep me here, you keep me there, you don't go to him...... Cheap girl! ”

The teapot and cup flew out of the table, bringing out curved lines and slamming against the wall, and the girl's whole body trembled, followed by the sound of beaded curtains clattering. The palace maid's panicked voice came, followed by another angry reprimand: "Don't go in, all of them kneel for me here, don't go in any of them, let her reflect on me inside...... Give me a good reflection! ”

The man's voice, which shook the eaves, went away.

The girl was like a frightened rabbit, cowering on the ground and into the corner, crying, how could she not understand......

***

In the distant sky, more and more dark clouds accumulate, there is a tendency to rush in this direction, and in the sultry air, two girls sitting under the rockery look up at the dark clouds together. Among them, the younger one asked suspiciously, "Why hasn't Sister Baotong come yet?" ”

In her arms, she was still holding a little black cat, and the cute little black cat was tied with beautiful silk around her neck, and she yawned lazily, and the little cat looked a little bored.

The older girl next to her muttered, "The ghost knows!" He glanced at the little black cat in his companion's arms, and thought to himself...... I don't like cats!

It's a good thing he didn't give it to me, even if he gave it to me...... I don't like it either.

At this moment, the red butterfly, probably some "can't eat the grapes are sour" psychology, yes, this kitten is cute, but it's too dark, I don't like it at first glance, you look at its cat ears, you look at its cat eyes, you look at its cat paws, although they are all cute...... But I just don't like it.

The two girls are waiting here for Bao Tong, who was almost supposed to come, seeing that it is about to be evening, and they will return to the palace at noon.

Out of boredom, the emperor began to tease the cat, and strangely, the little black cat seemed to be psychic, and had fun with her. Red Butterfly put her right hand on her leg, supporting her face, and gradually became a little bored, so she proposed to enter the palace together to see why Baotong hadn't come over yet.

Huangfu Lu, who has always had no opinions, naturally quickly agreed, held the little black cat named Xiaodao, got into a sedan chair, and went to the palace with Red Butterfly. Both of them originally had the identity of princesses, and together with Baotong, the palace and the princess's mansion often came and went, and they were not hindered.

I just came to the temple where Baotong lived, asked, and learned that Baotong was still lying on the bed. Red Butterfly said with some dissatisfaction: "What the hell is she doing?" Let's wait for her, we're still asleep. ”

Just looked at it again, and found that these palace maids were a little like they wanted to say and stopped, wanted to say but didn't dare to say it. Red Butterfly was puzzled and entered the house with the Huangfu Heron.

The house was filled with sandalwood, the tents were swaying, the clouds were already pouring in on this side, the windows were tightly closed, and the outside was covered with gray. Huangfu Lu came to the bedside and saw that Baotong was even covered with his head, so he shouted, "Sister Baotong? Sister Baotong? ”

Red Butterfly rushed up without saying a word, lifted the quilt, and shouted, "Slacker, the sun is shining...... Baotong, what's wrong with you? ”

The girl on the bed grabbed the quilt and immediately covered her head again. Red Butterfly and Huangfu Heron glanced at each other, and at that moment just now, both of them clearly saw Baotong's crying red eyes and half of his red and swollen face.

Huangfu Lu said in a daze: "Sister Baotong...... What happened? ”

Red Butterfly was angry all of a sudden: "Baotong, what's wrong with your face?" Whose hand did it? ”

"No...... It's nothing! The girl in the quilt whispered.

But how do red butterflies believe? As soon as the bead curtain was flipped, he had already rushed outside, grabbed a palace maid and asked, the palace maid knew that the two of them were sisters of the princess from childhood to adulthood, and she didn't dare to hide it, and whispered what happened.

Red Butterfly was stunned for a long time, and for a moment, she wanted to rush to beat the prince, but it turned out that this did nothing except make things bigger and make it difficult for Baotong to do, not to mention that the prince was protected by a master of Ouchi, and it was a question whether he could rush to his side.

In the end, she could only stomp her feet angrily, returned to Baotong's side, and comforted Baotong with Xiaolu. However, there is not much that can be said. Gradually, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the palace gate was about to close, Concubine Zhen, who was not at ease, also sent someone to pick them up. In desperation, they could only comfort her a few more words, and then said that they would come over to accompany her early tomorrow morning.

When leaving, Huangfu Lu thought about it, ran back again, put the little black cat in his arms at the head of Baotong's bed, and said a few words to the little black cat, probably to let it accompany Sister Baotong and so on. The little black cat squatted at the head of the bed, as if it understood, and for a moment, Huangfu Lut felt that it seemed to nod.

The dark clouds finally covered the palace, and the black pressure was piled up like a mountain. First, there was an electric light surging inside, and suddenly, there was a thunderclap, and then a heavy rain poured down. The last warm current of autumn was extinguished by the showers, the heat dissipated, and the refreshing feeling came to me, which immediately brought a slight chill.

In a corner of the palace, a young man stood at the foot of a step, waving his arms, and said something loudly in righteous words, and in front of him, the Son of Heaven in a dragon robe listened expressionlessly. The thunder continued, the sound of rain hitting the stone ground outside, the eaves came with a banging sound, and the window flashed and flashed, it was a sudden bloom of electric light.

At this moment, the father and son in the palace did not realize that just a year ago in Haojing, almost the same season, the same thunderstorm, and a similar scene was staged in the more glorious imperial city. In this world, there are too many reincarnations, you can't see through it, you can't avoid it, everyone wants to change something, but everyone is back to themselves.

History is like a wheel, constantly rolling, but not always moving forward.

In the end, the young man said in a righteous manner: "Father, if you continue to interrupt, you will suffer from it, that traitor is ambitious, if you don't deal with it early, in the future, we will be imprisoned by him." ”

The Son of Heaven pondered for a long time, got up and said, "Let's go for a walk together, our father and son...... It's been a long time since we've walked together. ”

The showers hit the ground like a waterfall, and the temples and pavilions in the distance loomed in the rain, and it felt as if they were gradually being pulled away. The cornices that stretched forward, the spine swallowers facing each other in the rain, and the towering palace walls were hazy in the mist.

The eunuch followed far behind, flanked by curtains of water in a straight line. In that long and lonely corridor, a dead wind lamp hung high on the stone pillar.

The young man of the "Father ......" followed the dragon robe.

"What you just said...... In fact, how can you not know about being a father? The Son of Heaven said helplessly, "However, it is easy to kill a person, but where is the consequence so easy to solve?" If you want to kill someone, you have to have a reason, you have to have an excuse, whether it's true or fake, after all, you have to be convincing. ”

Continued: "I ask you, what is the most important thing for us? ”

The prince said: "The most important thing is ......" hesitated, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

"Righteousness!" The Son of Heaven himself said, "Eight hundred years of exclusive Confucianism have created the nobility and status that we cannot refuse at this moment, and this inertia is strong, but it is also extremely weak. Before that, who were you and what was I? One seems to have an identity, but no real power...... In fact, it is not allowed to have a county king with real power, and a son who is born rich and noble, but cannot even participate in the imperial examination, and no matter how many books he reads, it is useless. Defending the inside is better than letting go of the outside, defending the military is better than defending the text, and defending the vassal king is better than defending the generals. In the end, what pushed us to where we are today overnight? It is the great righteousness, the set that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for 800 years, and the set of kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, which is our cornerstone and our foundation. Abandoned the righteousness...... We're nothing. ”

A flash of lightning flashed, and Song Junzhe looked at his father in surprise, such words surprised him.

"I know that these days, you have been talking with those friends of yours about the general trend of the world and the Central Plains of Beiding. I can tell you plainly that what you're talking about is nothing more than paper, useless stuff...... You don't have to argue with it, it's true. Do you know why I didn't dissuade you, why didn't I tell you earlier? Because, on paper...... Actually, it doesn't hurt. What you will inherit in the future is not the military position of leading troops to fight, nor anything else, but the authority of the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven shook his head helplessly, "Actually, why don't I myself?" It's just the reality, after all, that I understand, what is the important weapon of the country that I really can't give up as a superior? That's the righteousness. The more times like this, the more important righteousness becomes to us. ”

"Thesis, today, who can compare to Ningjiang? In terms of martial arts, who can compare to Mr. Mei Jian? However, as long as the slogan of respecting the king is still there, they will not be able to hold us high. They are all ambitious people, and the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Sect have not set foot in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and they want to make a difference. Ning Jiang held high the slogan of resisting the barbarians and wanted to expel the barbarians. Under such a general trend, because of the overall situation, they have to respect us, so that China will not be divided and China will not be sunk. This is our righteousness, and it is the only thing we can rely on, and if we don't recognize it, we have nothing. ”

He turned around, facing the heavy rain curtain, his eyes were a little cold: "You have now figured it out, why a gossip in Ningjiang made me unable to move him?" It is because of righteousness that in this situation, I can lose anything, but righteousness must not be lost. Originally, I wanted to create public opinion through hundreds of officials, and everyone would be able to make money, so that Ningjiang could not turn over. Who knows, he actually took a step ahead, hehe, a gossip, it actually made me tie my hands and feet, this Ning Jiang is really too powerful, too terrifying. ”

The prince couldn't help but be angry: "No wonder the traitor wants to frame his father with rumors like this, the barbarians killed my people and seized my land, his rumor made his death mixed with the crime of colluding with the barbarians, killing him at this time will confirm the crime of colluding with the barbarians and secretly negotiating with the barbarians, and he wants to make his father and the emperor be abandoned by the world." Such villains, in order to protect themselves, have done such slanderous things and want to trap their father and emperor for injustice. It is also those stupid people who will be deceived by such traitors, and really believe that the father will do ugly things that secretly communicate with the barbarb, how can the ambition of the father be known by those stupid things? ”

The wind was strong, the rain was wild, and the Son of Heaven opened his mouth, somehow...... I couldn't speak......

The crown prince thought for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Father, since what we have to do is to kill Ning Jiang without falling into injustice, then why not ......"

Brush! Another thunderbolt struck, and the Son of Heaven turned sharply and looked in shock at his son's gloomy and resentful face in the flash......
