Chapter 47: The Past of the Palace Maiden

"Because you're faithful." Shan Beichen looked at Di Renjie and said lightly: "I don't want to see such a loyal minister killed. ”

Di Renjie was silent, he didn't know what to say now.

"Datang, it is the Datang that I share with Cao'er, there are some things I can't tell you, but I hope it is prosperous and strong." Shan Beichen looked at Di Renjie and said, "Do you know what is wrong with you?" ”

Di Renjie's expression was serious, and he said slightly respectfully: "Please also ask King Tang to specify." ”

"You're wrong in following the law too rigidly." Shan Beichen said.

Di Renjie was a little puzzled, the law is inviolable, why would Shan Beichen say this.

"The law is a cold rule, but the person who enforces the law is not, everyone has flesh and blood, and when the law is strictly enforced, it must also depend on the situation, how to implement it, rather than blindly pursuing justice." Shan Beichen said lightly.

Di Renjie fell into deep thought, he felt that what Shan Beichen said was not quite in line with his thoughts, but it did not mean that it was meaningless.

"Fair? There is no fairness in this world. Shan Beichen looked at Di Renjie and said: "Fairness is a relative meaning, if you are fair to one person, is the other person still fair?" For example, if I kill Lai Junyi this time, if you arrest me according to the law, it is indeed fair for Lai Junyi, then what about me, I want to watch Lai Junyi take my wife away, is that fair? ”

Di Renjie's face was slightly pale, Shan Beichen stood up and said: "You don't know how to be flexible, you can live so long like this, you are still Cao'er Kuanren, Corporal Lixian, if you were in Xuanyong, you would have been punished by Yingzheng a long time ago." ”

"Di Renjie, let me ask you, in Datang, who made the laws of Datang?" Shan Beichen asked Di Renjie.

"Naturally, it was formulated by His Majesty." Di Renjie said.

"Since it was made by Cao'er, then she is above the law, right?" Shan Beichen looked at Di Renjie with a smile.

"This ......" Di Renjie wanted to refute, but what Shan Beichen said was right.

"That's why I said you." Shan Beichen said lightly: "Cao'er is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what she wants to do, obey the law or violate the law, you, as a courtier, have no right to speak." ”

"Indeed." Di Renjie sighed and said, "It's me who is too rigid, thank you Tang Wang for pointing it out." ”

"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you a secret." Shan Beichen attached himself to Di Renjie and said something softly.

"Is this true?" Di Renjie's face was shocked, and he looked at Shan Beichen in disbelief.

"Yes." Shan Beichen nodded and said.

"It's the sins of the ministers, and I also ask the Tang King to do a lot of Haihan." Shan Beichen was sure, but Di Renjie knelt down and hurriedly apologized.

"Alright, it's time to get down to business." Shan Beichen said with a smile.

"Have you been investigating the matter of Ming Shiyin?" Shan Beichen asked.

"King Tang, do you know?" Di Renjie was a little surprised.

"Ming Shiyin is a big threat, he is an ambitious person." Shan Beichen said lightly.

"But Your Majesty trusts him very much." Di Renjie said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "I don't dare to investigate him directly." ”

"Trust? In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are only a few people that Cao'er trusts, you are, but Ming Shiyin is not, and I'm the same as Cao'er. Shan Beichen said lightly: "You just have to let it go, with me and Cao'er, no one can put pressure on you." ”

"Really...... Are you sure? Di Renjie was a little excited, he had long wanted to find out Shiyin, but Wu Zetian trusted Ming Shiyin, and he didn't dare, but now that he heard King Tang say that Wu Zetian trusted him, he was really happy, and even King Tang trusted him, and the two highest-ranking existences in the Tang Dynasty supported him so much, so what else did he care?

"I'm sure you can do it well." Shan Beichen smiled, stood up, walked outside and said, "For the sake of Cao'er's face, you can stay here for a day first, and I will let you out tomorrow." ”

"King Xie Tang!" Di Renjie knelt down in front of Shan Beichen, he is so grateful to Shan Beichen now, he still trusts him so much for saving him, and the grace of knowing will be repaid forever.

Shan Beichen waved his hand and left in a good mood.

Looking at the palace maid who was still waiting outside, Shan Beichen said, "Let's go, accompany me around." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Tang." The palace maid was helpless, so she had to nod.

The two of them wandered around the palace of Nuoda, because of Shan Beichen, no one cared.

Walking to a small bridge, Shan Beichen leaned on the handrail, looking at the fish playing freely in the water, while the palace maid stood behind Shan Beichen, silent.

"Do you envy these fish? They are all freer than you. Shan Beichen said softly.

"Slaves and maids dare not envy." The palace maid shook her head, she looked at Shan Beichen, not knowing what he meant.

"Homesick?" Shan Beichen didn't say anything, just asked softly.

The palace maid's eyes changed slightly, nodded and said, "There are some." ”

"Are the plum blossoms in your hometown beautiful?" Shan Beichen asked again.

"It was the most beautiful flower I've ever seen." The palace maid hurriedly said.

"Isn't the peony more beautiful than it?" Shan Beichen asked.

"In the eyes of slaves, peonies are not as good as plum blossoms." The palace maid shook her head and said.

"Then you mean that the national flower of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the plum blossoms in your hometown?" Shan Beichen looked at the palace maid and asked a little coldly.

was shocked by Shan Beichen's momentum, the palace maid was not speaking, but she resisted very much, and just used silence to resist Shan Beichen.

"You're not an ordinary person, are you?" Shan Beichen looked at the palace maid and said: "With endless cold power and a talent comparable to that of a god, but only being a palace maid in the palace, can you tell me why?" ”

The palace maid looked at Shan Beichen in shock, she didn't know why he knew these things, her identity was only known to Wu Zetian.

"Yes...... His Majesty brought me back. The palace maid thought about it, she felt that there was no need to hide anything in front of Shan Beichen, the matter of Datang, what could Shan Beichen want to know?

"I was originally the princess who sent the wolf flag and relatives in the Central Plains, but they sacrificed me to the wolf flag god." The palace maid's voice said with some misery: "Just when I gained the supreme power of ice and was about to marry the Wolf Banner God, the Central Plains committed, but I helped the Wolf Banner and slaughtered them with my own hands. ”

"The wolf flag god is cruel and unkind, and he is murderous, how can I be willing to commit myself to him, just when it was urgent, His Majesty appeared, she killed the wolf flag god, and brought me back to the Tang Dynasty, let me be a palace maid in the palace, and spend this life in peace." The palace maid said softly: "Now, it has been fifteen years. ”
