Chapter 35 The Duty of a Courtier
You must know that in the world of celebrating more than one year, the most important thing is the high and low of identity.
There is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no gentleman in the lower grade!
It is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to describe the world of celebrating more than one year. The crown prince is the prince of a country, and his behavior and deeds are not what a son of a garrison can discuss.
"Ye Xuan, do you really think that Prince Ben will not dare to kill you?"
The crown prince was so angry that he wanted to be famous, but some people repeatedly provoked the imperial power and touched his dignity, not to mention the nephew of the great grandmaster, even the son of the great grandmaster.
The prince's roar resounded throughout the hall at once, and everyone present knelt down in unison, and their hearts jumped.
Only Ye Xuan and Fan Xian are neither humble nor arrogant, and they are not afraid.
"Your Highness, the grass people know the law of the country. But I have also heard such a saying: 'The monarch is also the boat, and the man is also the water.'" Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat. As for His Royal Highness, it was also based on the duty of a courtier. ”
"Every move of the grass people is done according to the duty of the courtiers, and now His Majesty is the king of holy virtue and wide speech, what is the crime of the grass people?"
This remark was reasonable, and even Mei Zhili couldn't help but nod.
From the perspective of monarchs and ministers, being a courtier means to be loyal and outspoken at critical moments and risk death to admonish. However, legally speaking, the following crimes are capital offenses.
But Ye Xuan's advice was not someone else, but the crown prince of the current dynasty, the future prince, which was a little difficult.
"You ---"
The prince couldn't find the words to refute.
Especially Ye Xuan's sentence 'water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat', which suddenly said the foundation of the world. It is true that he is the crown prince, but there are many people who covet this position.
Ye Xuan is favored by many great Confucians in Qingguo, and is known as the hope of Qingguo's literary circle. Once the order is given, these Confucians will dare to go to the imperial study tomorrow to admonish.
Killed, with a flawed reputation. If you don't kill, you won't be happy in your heart!
Bang Bang Bang!
A hearty round of applause spread throughout the lobby.
The person who came was wearing a dark blue robe, and there was a bit of freedom in his eyebrows, it was the second prince who had not been seen for a long time.
"What a saying, 'water can carry a boat or overturn a boat'!"
The second prince walked into the lobby quickly, patted Ye Xuan's shoulder, and admired it with a face.
Everyone saluted one after another: "Meet the Second Highness!" ”
"Get up, the prince is here, how can there be any reason to kneel to me." The second prince said softly.
After saying that, he saluted the prince and said, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
The crown prince forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and hurriedly supported the second prince, looking like a brother: "Second brother, how many times have I told you." It doesn't have to be that way between brothers! ”
"You are the prince, the courtesy cannot be abolished!" The voice of the second prince came again, but it had a little more meaning in the word prince.
The prince looked at his second brother in front of him and said softly, "What are you doing?"
The second prince paused, and suddenly laughed mockingly: "Seeing the power of the crown prince, it is really admirable that the Yin of Kyoto Prefecture acts according to orders." ”
After hearing this, the prince chuckled twice: "Lord Mei is trying the case, and I am a bystander." ”
"Really?"
After that, the eyes of the two of them were all on Mei Zhili, Mei Zhili smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”
"Then why is the case a foregone conclusion just now, why is the execution suddenly carried out again?"
The voice of the second prince came again, Mei Zhili's face was as black as charcoal, since the crown prince and the second prince were involved, this case is still a fart.
Immortals fight, mortals suffer!
Although there was a lot of pain and helplessness in his heart, Mei Zhili still explained to the second prince in a gentle voice: "Back to the second highness, all this is my private punishment, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the crown prince. ”
"Master Mei is at her own convenience, and I am also a bystander." The second prince said lightly.
After that, he sat next to the position of the governor of Kyoto Prefecture like the crown prince.
Mei Zhili sat in this familiar position, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, and looked around: "Torture!" ”
Ye Xuan suddenly spoke: "Wait, this punishment doesn't have to be taken." ”
Everyone was shocked, and Song Shiren hurriedly asked, "What, is it difficult for Ye Gongzi to have something to say?" ”
The manager looked at the man in front of him for the second time, and couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, and the tears couldn't help but fall straight down, as if all the hesitations had disappeared, all were gone, and the rest was only inexplicably at ease, and the urge to cry.
"Childe takes pity on me, and I can't repay Pu Liu's body."
A delicate body entered his arms, and the fragrance of plum blossoms on his body came to his face, and Ye Xuan was suddenly a little enthusiastic.
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Ye Xuan said slowly: "Dare to ask Master Mei, what provision does my Qingguo Criminal Law have?"
"Master Mei, this girl is just a witness, not a human offender. Why is it still being used again and again? ”
Mei Zhili glanced at the second prince, and the prince's gaze came one after another, paused, and arched his hand to the second prince: "The second highness is very right!" ”
One is the crown prince of the current dynasty, and the other is the current second prince, His Royal Highness. Mei Zhili usually didn't dare to wade into this troubled water, for fear that he would fall into the muddy water without paying attention.
He looked at the other officials around him, looking at each other with his eyes and nose and heart, as if an old monk had settled down.
"Okay, if you continue to do it, it will really be a trick!"
The prince's flat voice sounded again!
Seeing this, the second prince immediately replied: "This Guo Baokun seems to have really misunderstood Fan Xian!" ”
After saying that, he motioned for the people around him to let go of Fan Xian.
"Second brother is in a hurry!"
