"Qi King Meng Yeqi, don't you want to live, you actually said such a thing!" The emperor was really angry and slapped the table fiercely.

King Meng Yeqi looked at the emperor. glanced at it, and said extremely affectionately and helplessly: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, it's not that I don't want to live anymore, the reason why I said these words is completely for the good of our court."

"Your Majesty, you actually call me the emperor, there is no etiquette and morality at all, am I the emperor, I am your father."

"It's true that you are my father, but you are first and foremost an emperor." Qi King Meng Yeqi also raised his voice, and then lowered his voice and said: "Father, what I said is true, when everything is based on money, there will be no hearts in the world, and there will be no order. At that time, officials will not be like officials, the people will not be like the people, the students will not be like the students, and the people will not be like the people. Is this the kind of dynasty you want to see?"

The emperor's expression moved, his body shook a few times, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, good, you can speak very well." Say, go on, and I'll see what else you can say. ”

"Your Majesty, what I still want to say is that it is still too late to clean up the hearts of the people in the world. If you don't clean it up, I'm afraid it's going to be a real mess. It is a good thing to have money, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in a way that must be handed over to these people first, so that they can clearly know what is the best and what should be advocated. Qi King Meng Yeqi's eyes burst into tears. In fact, he had wanted to say these words for a long time, but he didn't have a chance to say them. Or maybe they didn't have the guts to say it. Although he and the emperor have a father-son relationship, there are some things that cannot be said because of this relationship.

The emperor's expression was extremely cold, and his face was extremely gloomy: "You are the opposite, right?" Okay, there's yours. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't want to be opposed. However, if you want to find a crime against me, I will accept it. Your Majesty, wake up, can't reality make you sober? "Qi King Meng Yeqi felt a little powerless, many situations, presumably his father and emperor also saw it, why can't he be sober and can't face all this.

"Reality sobers me up? Hehehe, you don't know where you heard a few angry words from a few angry young people, and they were displayed here to me, right? If you want to show off your warblers and Yanyan, come up to my imperial study here and pour negative energy garbage! ”

The emperor slapped the table and glared, he was really angry. He thought that his martial arts could be passed on to future generations, but he never expected to be looked down upon by his own children first.

Qi King Meng Yeqi stared at the emperor, and then said: "Father, not all words that do not conform to your thinking and your mind are negative energy garbage. It's like the bushes on some roads, if you think the bushes are stuck in you, it can only mean that you are going the wrong way. You have to get out early, or you'll be in the mire. ”

"You really think you're telling the truth and justice, righte? Okay, is there any factual basis for what you say? "The emperor tried to calm his breath and return himself to some kind of quiet and inactive normal.

Qi King Meng Yeqi nodded, and then said, "Father, do you remember, on my sixth birthday, you once gave me a string of sugar gourds. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's expression gradually softened. How could he not remember. He remembered that at that time, the children of the courtiers came to visit him, holding two strings of sugar gourds in their hands, and ate one of them himself, and the remaining string was given to him, the emperor. As the emperor, he is naturally already a big man, how can he eat sugar gourds, so he gave it to Meng Yeqi, the king of Qi. The emperor still remembers that Meng Yeqian was extremely happy and said with great surprise: "Father, is this your birthday gift to me?" I really like it, thank you, Father. ”

Thinking of Meng Yeqi's surprised expression at that time, the emperor also felt sad, because the string of sugar gourds was not specially given to him at all, but was given to him casually. He, a father, even looked at Meng Yeqi's birthday that day.

Thinking of the depths of his love, the emperor sighed, and immediately wiped his forehead and said: "Yeqi, my father, as the housekeeper of the country, has been very busy, and he hasn't given you a few birthdays, I'm sorry." ”

"There was a memory that the child felt very happy." Qi Wang Meng Yeqi said lightly, and then said: "Father, because I used to eat sugar gourds, I developed the habit of eating a bunch of sugar gourds every time I celebrated my birthday. Unfortunately, this habit was gradually broken. ”

The emperor was anxious and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Why can't you eat a bunch of sugar gourds on your birthday without breaking the law? ”

"Because there's no one on the street selling sugar gourds anymore." Qi King Meng Yeqian sighed, and then said: "Father, you don't make money by making sugar gourds, and you can't even make a penny from a string of sugar gourds, so people in the city don't bother to do such a small business." If you want to eat a bunch of sugar gourds, you have to go to the countryside to buy them. There are fewer and fewer of them, and one day they may be completely extinct. Your child may never be able to eat sugar gourds. ”

The emperor was stunned, he was indeed stunned. Yes, human nature is good, but it is also easy to be agitated. You must know that people are born with the nature of being good and chasing profits, and once this nature is encouraged by the outside world, the impact cannot be underestimated. All the people started to do what kind of businesses made money, and what did not make money not do it, and what was the result, the needs of the needy people were not met, and the lives of the people became inconvenient.

All people go after a 'money', and the end is that they forget their integrity. They may get a lot of money, but they can't get peace of mind.

The emperor let out a long sigh, and then said: "I have always thought that I am doing a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but I did not expect that many things are different from what I imagined, and too many things have gone against me. That's not my intention, it's not my wish. ”

"Father, the child has always admired you. Because of your conscientiousness, because of your efforts, because of your courage. The child also affirms the abundance of the world that you have created. What the child also wants to say is that any policy approach will bring certain limitations, which is not terrible, as long as we are willing to face it, it is not terrible. Qi King Meng Yeqi said so, he really thinks so. No matter which path you take or what choice you make, there will always be a trace of imperfection or hidden danger.

In the face of such hidden dangers, what we must do is not turn a blind eye or deceive ourselves, but to correct them. It is said that the light lies ahead, and the road is tortuous. The reason why the road is winding is because every time we go we go we have to correct our direction, because all roads end in the south wall.

When the emperor glanced at Meng Yeqi, the king of Qi, he immediately said, "I know you are telling the truth. To be honest, I always thought that some problems were just the problems of certain officials, and I didn't expect that the matter had become so serious. ”

"It's good to realize there's a problem." Meng Yeqian said lightly, and then said: "Father, the matter has been going on for a long time, and it is impossible to solve it in one move, so let's talk about the matter in front of us first." What does Father want us to do? ”

"You answer me a question first." The emperor stared at the King of Qi Meng Yeqi and said, "I'm curious, why did you say these things to me today. Or rather, I don't think there are some things that you would say at all. ”

Qi King Meng Yeyan lowered his head, immediately raised his head, and said with extremely clear eyes: "It's because of Yun Qingyi." He showed me a truth, that is, to do things is to do things. Don't worry so much. ”

"That's a good point. Being indecisive and caring about face is indeed a taboo in doing things. The emperor touched his chin and thought for a while, and then said, "This Yun Qingyi really makes me very curious. His father was a good man in the court, and he honestly never gave any special opinions. How can such a good man have such a daughter, it is really curious. ”

Qi King Meng Yeyan smiled, and he sighed in his heart: "Father, for this point, the sons are also curious. What is wrong with this Yun Qingyi, and why has there been such a big change in temperament. Immediately there was joy on his face again, just because he liked it. I probably like a person to a certain point, and it will naturally feel happy when I think of him, and I can't help but raise the corners of my mouth.

"Meng Yeqi, is your concubine in the main palace still undecided?" The emperor glanced at Qi King Meng Yeqi, and then said, "I think this Yun Qingyi is very good." has a sense of the overall situation, and is honest when things happen to others, and can marry into the family. ”

Qi King Meng Yeyan raised his head suddenly, he didn't expect that his father would care about his marriage. You must know that his father is a big man, and he didn't even pay much attention to the prince's marriage, so why did he suddenly care about his own marriage.

The emperor naturally had his plans. In fact, he is very optimistic about this King of Qi. Although this kid is relatively uneasy and occasionally makes people angry, he is indeed a fairly reliable existence. He likes him a lot, so he'll care about everything about him. Even the emperor selfishly thinks that the wife of King Meng Yeqi of Qi is not just a princess. Of course, he can't say these words, otherwise he will be shaken by the situation, and no one knows what will happen.

"Meng Yeqi, what's wrong, my tongue was swallowed by a cat, isn't it, why don't you speak." The emperor looked at him funny, and didn't forget to tease: "Where did Meng Yeqi, who was full of righteous indignation and eager to quarrel with me just now, go, why did he suddenly disappear." ”

Meng Yeqian smiled and said softly: "Father, the two of us have the same vision, to be honest, I also like Yun Qingyi." Moreover, I selfishly feel that she is the most suitable candidate for a crown princess. After all, with her, the backyard is comforted. ”

"That's right, nothing matters, the most important thing is the stability of the backyard. You know, if there's a fire in the backyard all the time, you're going to have trouble working in front of you. Meng Yeqi, this is the biggest reason for me to let you marry Yun Qingyi. A person who understands the overall situation, even if she occasionally has a small temperament, she will have a timely attack and will not delay your affairs. The emperor was deeply touched by this. He used to have a 'Yun Qingyi', but that person was too weak and died prematurely. Later, in his backyard, he was a jealous person everywhere, and he was really saddened by him.

Qi King Meng Yeqi naturally knew that his father had not had a good time these years, and immediately said: "Father, don't worry, I will carry out the matter of Yun Qingyi becoming the princess of Qi to the end." ”

"That's good. Meng Yeqi, I called you this time to deliver you a big thing. I have to explain in advance, this matter is extremely easy to offend people, maybe you will offend the whole officialdom, what do you dare to do? The emperor said very solemnly that he had never doubted the right person to do this, and only Meng Yeqi, the king of Qi.

Meng Yeyan nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "Father, I will do a good job, don't worry." ”
