Chapter 147: People's hearts

Three bloody people were thrown out of the prince's mansion.

The three men's hands were smashed, their ears were pierced, their tongues were hooked out, their noses were cut off, there were only holes in their eye sockets without eyeballs, and only one pair of feet were intact on their bodies, which were left for them to walk back to the Xuantian Empire.

"Prince, the wise man borrows his strength and goes with the wind, why don't you make peace with the people of the Xuantian Empire, and get the throne of the Xia Kingdom first, and then talk about the rest? Anyway, when the Xia Kingdom is in hand, you still don't listen to the prince? Even if you don't have this plan, you shouldn't do things so excessively, those three lobbyists are not ordinary in the Xuantian Empire, and one of them is the illegitimate son of General Huoyun, alas, it's just a matter of blasting out, you, you are really too heavy. An old strategist who had followed the prince for 20 years in the prince's mansion surrounded the prince with a heartache.

The eldest prince's somewhat thin face showed an unshakable expression like steel, and he said lightly: "The bad things in the world are all your so-called wise people, wise people are unrighteous, the so-called borrowing strength, do it with the wind, in other words, isn't it just being a bitch? Whoever gives money, whoever gives benefits, will sleep with whom? I am the eldest prince of Xia Kingdom, everyone in the world can take advantage of the situation, everyone can do with the wind, only me, absolutely not!"

Saying that, the eldest prince couldn't help but smile, and smiled bitterly: "Actually, those three lobbyists really said that they moved me, and the throne of Xia Kingdom was so close to me, so I gouged out the eyes of those three people, hooked their tongues, shaved their noses, and slammed their hands, and they were so ruthless, in order to completely break this road, the third child has always said that I am indecisive, I am indeed indecisive, but at least in some things, I never hesitate!"

The eldest prince said, looking up at the sky, the old dragon was still shaking his head and tail and swallowing the fortunes of the Xia Kingdom.

"The greatest sorrow in life is that my parents don't trust me. What is even more sad than this is that a person only believes in himself, does not believe in others, and is alone, my father has been performing these four words with his heart all his life. ”

"I hope that he will succeed in continuing his life, so that I can tell him to take a good look, and his eldest son will definitely be able to govern the Xia Kingdom in an orderly manner, so that he can understand how stubborn he is!" said the eldest prince, whose eyes flashed with an unyielding light, and he had been holding back this breath for more than ten years.

"How is the emperor?" Gu Zhizhang came to the outside of the main hall where the life-sustaining furnace was placed, there were strict guards, full of Xuanlong forbidden troops, and thousands of soldiers were like steel walls, firmly enclosing the main hall, this is only what can be seen on the surface, and those guards who can't see it may be more than what can be seen.

Even when the prime minister Gu Zhizhang couldn't get closer.

Outside the entire hall, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, and these civil and military officials did not know how long they had been standing here, one by one, they did not move, they just stood on the ground like nails.

These officials were headed by Gu Zhizhang, the prime minister of Xia Guocheng, and at this time, standing opposite Gu Zhizhang was the yellow slave in a yellow python robe, Huang Nu'er's expression was faint, his eyes were lowered, and he had no emotion.

But no one around him dared to approach, including the Dazzling Dragon Guards.

Gu Zhizhang is an exception.

The two of them just stood on each other and didn't give in to each other.

Huang Nu'er is a pseudo-Jindan cultivator, and there are few people in the world who can stand in front of Huang Nu'er, but although Gu Zhizhang is only a civil official, he has no cultivation, but he is still on par with Huang Nu'er, and he does not lose a cent in momentum, which is quite difficult.

Gu Zhizhang looked at the main hall of the black hole for a long time and asked, "Whose idea is it?

Huang Nu'er's eyes opened slightly: "With your words, I can kill you immediately." ”

"Hmph, I see that the movement of Xia Guoguo is shaking, as if I have witnessed the fall of Xia Guo, life is better than death, if you kill me now, I will only be grateful to you. Gu Zhizhang's words were full of gunpowder. There is indeed a kind of desolate despair in it that is greater than death.

Huang Nu'er's slightly opened eyelids lowered again: "The emperor has his own plans, the prime minister should go back to the mansion and wait for the good news, speaking of which, before the emperor entered the life-sustaining furnace, he had strictly ordered no one to stay in front of the palace for more than one cup of tea, otherwise it will be dealt with according to the rebellion, and there will be no forgiveness for killing, the prime minister has been standing here for a quarter of an hour, and I have already violated the order." ”

Huang Nu'er's words are not discounted at all, Huang Nu'er is the private slave of Emperor Xuanlong, he only cares about Emperor Xuanlong's orders, so he ignores what Xia Guo and Gu Zhizhang and the ministers behind him, if he really wants to kill, Huang Nu'er will definitely not hesitate at all, and the words of the people who are powerful and the law does not blame the public are completely worthless in Huang Nu'er's eyes.

Gu Zhizhang still had no intention of leaving, so he stood in place with his neck bent, as if he wanted to ask Emperor Xuanlong for an answer.

Huang Nu'er sighed and said: "Actually, Nu'er is also puzzled, when he learned that the emperor was going to use the three pillars to continue his life, he asked the emperor, once the country's fortunes collapse and the country's capital is shaken, what is the use of the emperor even if he continues his life for a hundred years?"

Gu Zhizhang immediately showed a focused expression when he heard this, this was the question he wanted to ask Emperor Xuanlong today.

This is not only a question that Gu Zhizhang wants to ask, but also a common question in the hearts of all the people in the entire Xia Kingdom who know that Emperor Xuanlong wants to continue his life with the dragon vein national fortune.

No one believes that Emperor Xuanlong is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is precisely because Emperor Xuanlong will not disregard Xia Guo because of his own selfishness, so everyone has many doubts in their hearts. I want to ask why.

Huang Nu'er glanced at Gu Zhizhang, who looked focused like a student, and said: "The emperor replied, 'Everyone is afraid of the national fortune and the national capital, and they dare not have the slightest light on these two countries. The slave then asked, "What is the human heart?"

Gu Zhizhang's face became more and more focused, and he pricked up his ears and waited to listen to Huang Nu'er's words.

Huang Nu'er shook his head and sighed: "The emperor just smiled, probably because he thought that I was stupid and couldn't explain it to me, and I didn't dare to continue to ask." ”

Gu Zhizhang couldn't help but show a look of disappointment when he heard this, obviously quite disappointed with the answer given by Huang Nu'er.

However, Huang Nu'er paused and said: "However, although Huang Nu'er is stupid, she also has a little bit of experience in people's hearts during this day, please give Prime Minister Gu some advice." ”

It was the first time Gu Zhizhang had heard Huang Nu'er say please give such a point, for the closest person to the emperor, no one could turn a blind eye to his words, including Gu Zhizhang, the prime minister of a country,

Gu Zhizhang immediately said: "Gu Mou listened. ”

Huang Nu'er looked around at the hundreds of officials behind Gu Zhizhang, these hundred officials stood as straight as a willow tree one by one, and all of them had anger on their faces, daring to come here to block the emperor, it is estimated that they are all ready to die, and they have to leave a suicide note at home and prepare a coffin.

"What is the reason why my Xia country is small and weak, surrounded by wolves, but has struggled to survive in such a harsh situation for thousands of years, and has witnessed countless large and small countries from prosperity to decline?" Huang Nu'er asked.

Gu Zhizhang was silent and didn't answer, because he knew that Huang Nu'er didn't need him to answer now.

Huang Nu'er continued: "Is it because my Xia Kingdom is stable and strong, or is it because my Xia Kingdom is prosperous?"

"If my Xia country is a strong country, it will not only be a land of projectiles, and it will go through military disasters. The prosperity of the country has nothing to do with my Xia country, in the past thousand years, when did my Xia country not face the disaster of destroying the country?"

"Since it's not the fortune of the country and the foundation of the country, what is supporting my Xia Kingdom to survive forever?"

Huang Nu'er looked at Gu Zhizhang, looked at the ministers behind Gu Zhizhang, and then said: "It's because of the hearts of the people, the hearts of my Xia people have never fallen." ”

"So, what is the human heart? Nu'er thinks that the ministers present are the hearts of the people, the big prince who beat the lobbyists of the Xuantian Empire who promised to help him with the throne of the Dao Emperor is the hearts of the people, and the three princes who also shot back the disciples of the Baixiang Empire who promised to help him get the throne of the Xia Kingdom are the hearts of the people. ”

Since Emperor Xuanlong chose to continue his life, he naturally judged the actions of the eldest prince and the third prince a long time ago, so he had already completely mastered every move of the eldest prince and the third prince. You must know that even if the third prince wore a yellow robe, Emperor Xuanlong was not willing to kill him. Because no matter how the three princes make trouble, it is an internal struggle among the royal families of the Xia Kingdom, and the Xuanlong Emperor, who is old and less murderous, can tolerate it, but if the three princes collude inside and outside, then the Xuanlong Emperor will definitely not be able to bear it.

What is gratifying is that the eldest prince and the third prince have made the most correct choice, so this is the heart of the people.

"The national fortune is a big river, Xia is a small boat on the big river, the boat is not driven by the buoyancy of the big river, but the people in the boat, the monstrous waves are coming, what can really be confronted and can be trusted, is not the national fortune and the country, not the waves one by one, but the boat driver. ”

"Prime Minister Gu, do you think the slave's understanding is a little too shallow?"

Gu Zhizhang was silent for a moment, staring at Huang Nu'er, then turned around and left, when the hundred officials saw this, they all wanted to leave, Gu Zhizhang walked halfway, turned around and said: "I didn't expect Huang Zhangyin to have such eloquence, but, between three words, I can't believe you, I still firmly believe that the country's fortune is the foundation of a country, and it can't be lost. ”

Huang Nu'er's eyelids drooped, and she said lightly: "Lord Gu, the fortune of the country in your mouth is extremely expensive, but the emperor, you despise the fortune of the country! The emperor firmly believes that man will win the sky!" I1387
