【104】Affects fermentation
Huangfu Taiming suddenly shouted, causing everyone in the audience to be surprised, and Concubine Jin Niangniang even flashed a trace of contempt in her eyes, and An Zhongxin, who had been secretly stopping Huangfu Taiming, couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, but Huangfu Jingde, who had been angry, had a strange look flashing in his eyes in an instant, but he was covered by anger in an instant.
"Bold! You dare to stop my holy decree, do you want to resist it, do you want to rebel?"
"Erchen didn't dare. The son-in-law spoke to stop it, just so that his father would not lose his trust in the world. ”
Huangfu Jingde roared angrily: "Fart! A dog slave laughs at the Son of Heaven, what is the fault of killing him, and how can I lose my trust in the world? You make it clear, if you say it wrong, then you will punish him ...... with him."
Everyone in the four places felt that this thirteen princes were in vain and acted extremely stupidly, even if they now forced the emperor to retract his life with clever words, but it was undoubtedly for an irrelevant figure to make the emperor unhappy, for the court where the position of the crown prince is now undecided, this move of Huangfu Taiming is undoubtedly a self-destructive approach.
Huangfu Taiming knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "Enlighten the father and emperor, the sons and daughters do not intend to disobey the emperor's authority, but although this slave is rebellious, he will not die for his crimes. My father often said: Heaven is orderly, humanity has law, the country is governed by law, and the people know how to make trade-offs, which is the foundation of rejuvenating the country and securing the country. My father also said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. In this way, he conveyed to the world his father's determination and perseverance to rule the country by law. Today, it is said that the father and the emperor punish the slave with personal anger, although it is excusable, but he does not follow the law, and it is already a matter of abolishing the law with affection. If this person dies, the world will say: The emperor often [***], the next person commits crimes, but does not punish the crime according to law, and disposes of it at will with personal personal feelings, although this person's death is not a pity, but with his death, the father and the emperor have abolished the great plan of the emperor to rule the country for a hundred years. ”
Huangfu Taiming was bleeding profusely, but he ignored it, argued with reason, said it conclusively, and said it loudly. After he finished saying this, even Huangfu Jingde's angry expression gradually stabilized, and he didn't answer.
"Please think twice!"
At this time, An Zhongxin also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
As soon as An Zhongxin also expressed his attitude, the eunuchs and palace maids around him immediately knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty!"
Huangfu Jingde was silent, and everyone knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.
After a long time, Huangfu Jingde suddenly laughed, and his mouth full of blood directly spat An Zhongxin's body, and said: "Okay, good, I really have a good son, hum, what an excuse for the country and the people, and a big hat for dishonesty in the world...... Thirteen Lang, then tell me, if it is punished as a crime, what crime should this slave deserve?"
Huangfu Taiming replied in a deep voice: "If you lose your manners in front of the king, you will be punished with a rod for twenty years and fined for three months." ”
Huangfu Jingde snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
An Zhongxin shouted at the two guards who didn't know how to be good: "Didn't you hear Your Majesty......'s order?
Then he glanced at Huangfu Taiming, sighed, and followed Emperor Jing'an out of the palace.
After the two walked out, the people inside didn't dare to get up, because the master didn't say that they were flat, and even if these minions knelt down here, they couldn't get up.
Concubine Jin thought about it at this time, Ying Ying chased after her in two steps, but when she reached the entrance of the palace, she stopped, frowned, waved her hand, and walked out from the other direction with her subordinate guards and a few subordinates from Jingyang Palace.
The emperor did not order to be flat, and this Concubine Jin was not in a good mood when she wanted to, so she deliberately did not give an order, and in the originally lively octagonal pavilion, only Huangfu Taiming was left kneeling here, and his lonely back was still stubborn and motionless.
In the imperial garden of Jingyang Palace, Emperor Jing'an and An Zhongxin walked slowly.
Leaving the Octagonal Pavilion, An Zhongxin gave a look, and asked Huangfu Jingde to confirm that there were only two of them around, and couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and asked slowly, "How was my performance just now?"
An Zhongxin said with a smile: "Your Majesty's acting skills are really expressive, but this body is still important, why bother ......"
"Alas-" Emperor Jing'an waved his hand and said confidently: "It's just a few teeth knocked out, if there is no such bitter plan, how can I let those people know that I am old and weak, and my life is short?" Hmph, the more they look down on me, the higher they will climb, and the harder I will let them fall!"
"It's just a pity that Uncle Zhexin ...... because of this"
"Don't mention it...... If there was no sacrifice, how could they get carried away? It's just that I didn't expect that they would be so vicious in their attacks, and they would actually target the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle. It seems that they still want to use the death of the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle to spy on my reaction...... Hmph, in that case, I'll do what they want!"
An Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does that Majesty mean...... Show the enemy weakness, deal with this matter roughly, and let it go?"
Huangfu Jingde laughed twice, pointed to An Zhongxin's nose and said, "You old thief, and you deliberately guessed wrong, so that I can seem to be smart?"
An Zhongxin hurriedly made a distressed look, and said embarrassedly: "It's still Your Majesty who is wise, and the old slave's sycophants have been recognized by His Majesty again......"
Huangfu Jingde laughed, his voice was rare with pleasure, and then he whispered: "Show the enemy weakness? That's just a trick that only children can believe...... I am Huangfu Jingde, I was the one who finally won the throne with patience, and Zhuo Qingfan knows me best. If I endure this, do you think they will be at ease? Absolutely not, on the contrary, I will make them cautious, and always on the lookout for me, thinking that I am going to do something in private.
So I absolutely can't calm things down, but if I want them to continue to despise me and ignore me, I have to show the enemy to be arrogant, show the enemy to be arrogant, only arrogant enough to make people think that I have lost my mind, the other party will be satisfied, will feel that my emperor Fu Jingde is no longer a threat to them, and will not be light to find out my secret actions.
And the actions of a madman can make them temporarily avoid the edge, because they disdain to compete with a madman, and they will wait for the day when the madman will destroy himself, but in this way, it will make many things easier for us, and many things that seem crazy and magical to ordinary people can be done......"
An Zhongxin praised from the bottom of his heart this time: "Your Majesty is wise, and the old slave admires it so much. ”
In fact, ordinary people always think that keeping a low profile is a good way to hide themselves, but they don't know that people who stand in a high position can't be low-key, and sometimes they use another behavior to cover up, so that they can really hide their true thoughts. The ancients did this by pretending to be crazy and stupid, but at this time, Huangfu Jingde used the stupidity of pretending to be crazy to hide his careful strategy.
Huangfu Jingde looked up to the sky and sighed, and said slowly: "Where am I wise, these words and arrangements were all said by Ji Guanglan's old Mao Mao back then...... If it weren't for his greedy son who leaked a little action affectionately, how could the old man be ...... Alas, Lao Mao was smart all his life, but in the end, he didn't teach his son well, and he was defeated......"
At this time, An Zhongxin smiled and said: "In such a comparison, His Majesty is still wise, at least he can educate an excellent prince......
"He?" Huangfu Jingde glanced back in the direction of the palace and snorted coldly, "The benevolence of a woman!" But there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"For the sake of a little eunuch who has insulted himself, he dares to contradict me and ignore the position of the prince. If I am really a faint king, I am afraid that the lightest sin is also a sin of being degraded from the court, do you think he is not worried about not getting this position? Or is he really desireless and does not care?"
An Zhongxin said: "The thirteen princes are all brave and loyal, but they are true. ”
"The old thirteen is indeed idealistic, ambitious, rare is that there is a natural righteousness in the heart, if the old thirteen become the emperor, self-denial and dedication, it is no problem, and it is rare that he can withstand all kinds of temptations, will not lose his heart in the position of power......
But he is too weak, the court is facing great changes, the world is facing chaos, a person who attaches too much importance to feelings is easy to become hesitant, Son of Heaven, the heart should still be ruthless and ruthless. Otherwise, if he attaches too much importance to his feelings, what should he do if his relatives break the law? What should I do if my son breaks the law? What should I do if his brothers with different surnames break the law? Is it better to punish the crime according to the law and then suffer for the rest of my life? Or is it better to bend the law for my own personal gain? When I drove my second brother out of power for the sake of the world, the people of the world thought that I was a careerist and secretly had fun here, but I didn't know that I had suffered all my life because of this roommate...... But man, when faced with a choice, he must go forward bravely in the direction that he believes is right, regardless of whether it is the south wall or the south mountain that stands in the way in front of him! Old Thirteen, I don't have this belief that there will be no turning back! Therefore, I will not put the future on him......
Huangfu Jingde looked up at the starry sky from afar, and suddenly asked, "How are the brothers of the old thirteen......?" Especially tell me about the naïve Ye boy with the surname Ge ......"
An Zhongxin nodded and said, "That Ye Qingxuan and the fifth eldest among his brothers, that is, the apprentice of Zen Master Ningdu, have arrived at the 'Martial Arts Holy Land', and the specific news has not been transmitted. However, the news of the previous investigation has been confirmed, that kid is indeed a big martial artist at the celebration of Nanlong Villa, and the level of martial arts is not low, including the emergence of red-level martial arts, and now the entire martial arts is rumored that Ye Qingxuan and others have obtained the inheritance of the 'Bronze Dragon Tower', and there are countless peeps.
