Recalling the past, both of them were embarrassed.

For the emperor of the previous dynasty, most of the people in the market have mixed reviews, and some clues can be seen from his nickname "Kang".

However, there is one thing that everyone agrees on, and that is that the former emperor was a benevolent and righteous king.

People who don't like the first emperor will always say that because when he was alive, he insisted on pursuing the order of the elders and young, and set up a cowardly Yongwang as the crown prince, and the prince's body and character were as weak, which led to the tragedy of the two kings raising troops in the imperial city.

But no matter what others say, in Chu Linghui's heart, this is the king he is willing to bow down to serve.

It has already been warmed three times, and the person who should leave always has to leave, and Chu Linghui is not the one who always talks about his emotions on his face, and after saying a word of cherishment, he will see Gonggong Hong leave.

Looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away, it really responded to that sentence, and the only thing that was eclipsed was to say goodbye.

"You also said goodbye to Old Man Hong, so you won't send off the friend who has played with you since childhood?" Lin Jiu spoke at the right time, but it reduced the sorrow of parting a little.

"He should be distancing himself from me now." Chu Linghui opened his mouth and said.

"I don't understand, then King Tang is just a prince in the end, why does even the emperor have to look at his face?" Lin Jiu held this question in his heart for a long time.

It is not uncommon for a vassal king to overpower a monarch, but a big premise for those people is that they control their own territories and have a sufficient number of elite troops.

But Tang Wang is different, even at the peak, he can only rely on King Yu to make some small moves behind his back, and now even he is confined in the capital, no matter how you look at it, you can only be a salted fish that can't turn over the waves, not a mixed river dragon.

Chu Linghui opened his mouth and said: "You should have underestimated the prestige of the Tang King in Shilin, let's put it this way, if the current Tang King is released from the city, as long as he can ascend to the top and shout, saying that when the son is not in the right position today, countless people will immediately follow him to respond." ”

"If you really have that kind of power, why didn't you kill it in the first place, was it because you were afraid of drowning in someone else's spit?" Lin Jiu asked curiously.

Chu Linghui shook his head and said, "How can I have so many thoughts, to say that my reputation is bad enough now." ”

At this point, Chu Linghui paused for a moment and looked at the post road. At this time, the convoy had already left, and there were only sporadic pedestrians on the road, which looked extremely lonely.

"He is the king of Tang, but before this he has another identity, that is, the son of the first emperor, let me kill the son of the benefactor, I can't do it." Chu Linghui continued.

"Then the question comes, the first emperor put you in the important place of the next province of Menxia, that is, I hope you can use your own talents to make the Great Zhou prosperous and stable, except for the Tang King, if it is one of the links, how should you choose?"

Listening to Lin Jiu's words, Chu Linghui suddenly smiled and said: "The first emperor won't think about it so much, in his opinion, the harmony and stability of the family is also a very important thing in the royal family." ”

"Then he can't be considered a good emperor!" Lin Jiu opened his mouth and said, some Ming monarchs in history have killed decisively one by one, and they must change color when they make a move.

originally thought that when she said this, Chu Linghui would reprimand her, but she didn't expect Chu Linghui to actually nod and say: "You are not wrong when you speak, Your Majesty often says that he should be suitable to be a rich man like his younger brother Prince Gong." ”

"Prince Gong, that is indeed a comfortable person, but the emperor of a country said such a thing, just casually say it's okay, if you really do it, the people of the Great Zhou will be unlucky."

Chu Linghui said with a solemn expression: "The emperor is the shepherd of heaven and is known as the son of heaven, but it is not something that one person can do to govern the people. The world will not be chaotic because of one person, if it is really chaotic, it means that we courtiers are too incompetent. ”

"Your idea is not bad, but in the face of this day, I don't even want to listen to you, what can you do even if you are a capable minister? Do you remember what Old Man Hong said to you before leaving? ”

This happened just now, and it was naturally impossible for Chu Linghui not to remember, the so-called one is not the other, once a son of heaven and a courtier.

The meaning of what Hong Tong said was very clear, that is, Chu Linghui had the label of a relict of the previous dynasty, and the new monarch wanted to set up a new minister, and he would not care whether the predecessor left a good minister or a courtier who only knew how to slap horses. 61

For example, Bai Shuisheng is now trying his best to prove that he is the minister of the new dynasty, and even Hong Tong is the same, looking at the world, maybe only Chu Linghui is alone, and he still thinks about the old monarch.

Such a person is naturally very suitable for throwing out as an outcast.

Chu Linghui muttered: "Having said that, one day, if there is an opportunity to repay the favor, I will still not hesitate to make a move." ”

Lin Jiu looked at Chu Linghui a little speechlessly: "Old Man Hong means to let you recognize yourself clearly, and recognize the Your Majesty on the dragon chair, before you traveled thousands of miles to help in the capital, and after evading countless pursuits, you have already paid off this favor." ”

"The grace of life upbringing, how can it be so easy to pay off!" Chu Linghui shook his head and sighed.

Looking at Chu Lingjue's appearance of not being able to enter the oil and salt, Lin Jiu's fists clenched loudly, Chu Linghui turned his head to look at Lin Jiu, the fists that looked a little delicate, but could beat Jia Yi and beg for mercy, were indeed somewhat deterrent.

"Although there are not many pedestrians here, if you move like this, you will always be seen."

Lin Jiu sneered: "Yo, you still know that you want to save face!" ”

"People live with a face, trees live with a skin, this is the truth that even people in the mountains and wilderness know, and I naturally know it."

Lin Jiu smiled and approached Chu Linghui, Chu Linghui frowned, did not retreat, and did not put on a defensive posture.

When Lin Jiu approached, a punch hit Chu Linghui's chest, the speed of this punch was extremely slow, such a fragile fist, with Chu Lingxuan's martial arts, it was naturally easy to dodge.

It's just that Chu Linghui let his fist hit his chest.

There was no explosion of power, Lin Jiu's punch was like a little girl being coquettish, and the hammer was weak in his chest.

"I don't ask you to really forget the kindness of the emperor, I just hope that you can cherish your life more in a critical time, and don't risk your life when you send the jade seal."

Chu Linghui's face softened a lot, and he slowly spoke: "If it weren't for you at that time, I would be dead by now." ”

Lin Jiu withdrew his fist and raised his head to look at Chu Linghui: "So, in addition to owing the emperor, you also owe me, don't tell me anything about the grace of this life and repay it in the next life, I will tell you, this store is a small business, and it will not be credited." ”

Chu Linghui looked at Lin Jiu with a stunned expression, he seemed to be unable to refute this, and more importantly, some of the benevolence, righteousness and etiquette of the common knowledge in the world did not have much restrictive power on Lin Jiu.

Among them, regarding the loyalty of the monarch, Lin Jiu can be regarded as a wild speech, according to Lin Jiu's statement, the prince of heaven and earth should remove the king. Although Chu Linghui didn't agree with some of the words, he would think about them carefully, and some of them really made some sense.

Chu Linghui couldn't help but shake his head, he had dispelled the idea of arguing with Lin Jiu a long time ago, because no matter what he was talking about, Lin Jiu was always able to refute him in some very magical places.

Obviously, Chu Linghui at this time was a little overthinking, throwing out those kindness and loyalty, what Lin Jiu wanted was for Chu Linghui to live for her Lin Jiu, or to live for herself.

In the convoy back to Beijing, in addition to Bai Shuisheng, there was another person in Bai Shuisheng's chariot, Cao Yixian.

"You have already received so many benefits from Lin Jiu, but you still choose to deal with her, are you a little ungrateful?" Bai Shuisheng looked at this person known as the Immortal Shu Yixian in a flat tone.

That look that made women a little jealous made Bai Shuisheng think with some malice that if some good men and nobles in the capital met Cao Yixian, they would definitely regard it as a forbidden thing.

Probably being watched too much, Cao Yixian didn't feel Bai Shuisheng's hidden malice, and said: "Businessmen are prone to words, if they let go of a great opportunity to make money, and let it slip away, it is a great insult to businessmen. ”

Bai Shuisheng sneered: "I don't see the dignity of any businessman, I only see the madness that I can't ask for." ”
