Chapter 204: The Hatred of Wife-Snatching
Hearing this, An Ran's face obviously showed a look of surprise, "Secret Order?"
What kind of secret decree is it, she has never heard Nan Lingye say it, could it be that even Nan Lingye doesn't know the existence of this secret decree?
And Murong Gong is so unscrupulous because of this secret decree?
"Yes, the former emperor gave me a secret decree because he was afraid that I would tell the story, and out of fear of being ashamed of me, no one knew about it, even His Majesty today. Murong Gong said proudly.
"And it's because of this secret decree that you are so bold and want to rebel, right?"
"I didn't want to rebel, but the people of the Nanling family forced me. The events of that year have been in my heart for twenty years, and I have never forgotten the hatred of taking my wife, but despite this, I still suppressed it, and I promised my sister that I would no longer hate the people of the Nanling family. But I can't do it, do you know how much humiliation I have endured in the past 20 years. There are also many people in the Murong family who know about this, and I have seen their ridicule, and I know that only if I get the supreme power, I can get rid of all this. Murong Gong gritted his teeth and said.
Listening to his words, An Ran was very sympathetic to his suffering, but this could not be an excuse or reason.
"Can this excuse be an excuse for you to oppress the people? Can it be a reason for you to satisfy your own ambitions? You are so selfish. An Ran scolded.
Even if it was the Nanling family who was sorry for him back then, but the matter of men and women is a thing that is not clear, his wife and Nan Lingye's father fell in love with each other, which violated common sense, but from a certain point of view, this is caused by the love between men and women, and it is difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong.
"I'm selfish, you're not me, what's the right to say I'm selfish!" Murong Gong was a little annoyed.
An Ran met his eyes without fear, ignored his anger, and replied, "Isn't it? Twenty years have passed since this incident, and the person who caused this incident back then is long gone. But you, for twenty years, are still thinking about it. even because of this, they brutalized the people and tried to rebel. Isn't that selfish?"
"For the hatred in your own heart, you ignore the people of the world, have you ever thought about it, if you launch a mutiny, who will suffer at that time? Can your little army really be able to confront the imperial court? The first emperor gave you a secret decree out of guilt for you, and wanted to compensate you, how could he not know that it was his son who was sorry for you first, but the matter has already happened, and no one can change it, but you have to be so persistent. ”
Murong Gong listened to An Ran's words, and was silent for an instant, as if he was in deep thought.
An Ran looked at him, his tone softened slightly, and continued: "As a relative of the emperor, you should do your best to create well-being for the people of the world, instead of becoming a bully who bullies the people. If you want to usurp the throne, then you must first ask yourself, whether you can be a Ming monarch, whether he will be able to benefit the people when he ascends to a high position one day, and if you cannot do better than your current majesty, then you should not let the people fall into fire and water for your own selfish desires. ”
Murong Gong looked at An Ran, even though he knew that what she said was the truth, but the man's sense of self-esteem was still troubled, and he felt very unconvinced, "How do you know that I can't be a good emperor?"
Could it be that only the people of their Nanling family are born emperors?
An Ran hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly, "Don't say it's for the benefit of the people of the world, now it's in your own fiefdom, you are oppressing the people, what qualifications do you have to say this?"
"You ......" Murong Gong was angry, looking at An Ran with anger on his face, if his eyes could kill people, I am afraid that An Ran would have died no less than a thousand times.
"You don't agree with what I said, do you? Well, since you already have the secret decree of the former emperor in your hands, I think that the so-called secret decree is a blank holy decree, right? Then you will immediately enter the palace with me with the secret decree to face the saint, so that your majesty can abdicate the throne and let you ascend the throne. It's just that I'm curious, how long can you sit on this throne, and when will the people revolt against you?" An Ran spoke very politely, her expression was cold, and those phoenix eyes looked at Murong Gong coldly, in fact, she was very sympathetic to Murong Gong at first, but after a conversation with him, she felt that this person was extremely narrow-minded, and she didn't like such a person the most.
Murong Gong slapped the table angrily, pointed at An Ran and shouted: "Presumptuous, have you forgotten whose territory you are on now, and you dare to talk like this!"
"What I'm standing on now is naturally the Northern Chu River and Mountain, the imperial land at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Do you think that this is a fief given to you by the royal family, and it is your world? Don't forget, the rivers and mountains of Northern Chu are surnamed Nanling!" An Ran looked at him coldly.
Murong was extremely powerful, but he couldn't find the words to refute An Ran. Actually, An Ran's words are right. But he really can't pass the level in his heart.
Sitting down a little dejectedly, Murong Gong sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression, and suddenly felt that his whole person was much older.
Seeing that Murong Gong's arrogance was not there, his anger had subsided a lot, An Ran's tone had eased a lot, and he continued: "Your Majesty is willing to give Shaoguo Gong some time to think about it, I will come to your mansion again tomorrow at noon, and I hope that Shaoguo Gong has already figured out whether to enter the palace with me to face the saint, or whether he wants to meet the soldiers of the imperial court, I hope that Shaoguo Gong's heart will weigh it clearly." After speaking, An Ran turned around and left.
After An Ran came out, Qiu Xin and the two guards saw her and immediately greeted her, "My lord, are you okay?"
"What can I do? Let's go, let's go back to the inn. An Ran said.
After returning to the inn, An Ran asked Qiu Xin and them to go down first, so they didn't need to wait.
She was half-lying on the slump, thinking about things. Today's conversation with Murong Gong touched her a lot, Murong Gong said that he wanted to rebel because of the hatred of taking his wife, but in fact, he wanted to get power and let those who had humiliated him because of that incident be punished.
And this hatred of taking his wife is a good excuse for him, otherwise, he would not have waited until twenty years later to turn against the Nanling family.
Power is actually a very useful, but also very scary thing.
Now I can only hope that Murong Function will understand that he will stop being obsessed, as long as there is a war, it will only be the people who will suffer in the end.
Early the next morning, before An Ran got up, Qiu Xin knocked on the door and said that someone from the Shaoguo Mansion was coming.
