Chapter 90: Defection
The three of them returned to their residences, and the three of them sat around a small square table. Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said: "The entire heavenly prison, the huge cell, is filled with people. The walls of the cell were crowding, and it was time to collapse. β
"What? How is it possible, Daqin's Heavenly Prison can be said to be the largest prison cell in the entire continent, even if it can accommodate 100,000 people, it is very spacious. Moreover, there are not many prisoners in the prison, how can there be so many people. Zixi said in surprise.
As for Tian Ji, he was shocked that he couldn't find the north. Can be ignored.
Emperor Tianqing looked at Zixi and said, "Xi'er, what do you think is the reason why the huge prison can be stuffed." β
Zi Xi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It won't be Concubine Hua who knows that it is definitely not your opponent." So they took the people into custody. I want to use these people as bargaining chips to make you cast a rat trap. β
Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to save Concubine Hua's life, but unfortunately she acted like this, and I will definitely kill her." The people are always the bottom line at all times, and no matter what means are used, they must not affect the innocent people.
To enter the court as an official and obtain rights, what should be done is to seek benefits for the people and do your best for the community. There are no millions of people in the world, where the throne is, where the court comes from, and where the rights in their mouths.
If one day, on this day, thousands of people have different intentions and rebel together, even if the martial arts cultivation can cut the sun and the moon and pick the stars, then what is the use. Killing all the people in the world and being a one-man emperor, is it interesting?
The force of the state is used to defend against foreign enemies and to protect its own people. Instead of using force and so-called superior rights to oppress the people of their own country. β
Zixi and Tian Ji both nodded heavily. Zixi said: "I think Your Majesty will definitely be a Dao Ming Jun who has been famous for centuries. It can be an example for the emperor for all eternity. β
Emperor Tianqing shook his head and said, "What happened after me has nothing to do with me. I just want to make the people of the world live a peaceful and prosperous life under my rule. Everyone has something to eat, everyone has money to spend, and everyone can live with a smile. I don't want to be the number one in the world. I just want peace in the world. β
"There will come a day, under His Majesty's rule, and I believe I will see that day. Zixi said firmly.
Tian Ji also said excitedly: "Yes, the minister also believes in Your Majesty." There will come a day when every inch of land that the sun can shine on will be the land of my Great Qin. β
Emperor Tianqing nodded and said firmly: "There will be that day, there will be that day." β
When the words fell, the three of them were silent for a moment, and Emperor Tianqing continued: "You guys should rest for a while, and I will go out." β
Zixi asked, "It's so late, where have you been?" I'll go with you. β
Emperor Tianqing said: "It's okay, Tian Ji, you wait here first." I and Zixi went to visit Wei Shangshu and came back soon. β
Tian Ji answered. Tian Ji also wanted to follow, but when he thought that he had no cultivation at all, he would take off His Majesty's hind legs instead.
After Emperor Tianqing and Zixi left, Tian Ji looked at the figures of the two leaving, and said secretly in his heart: "As a minister, you can't share your worries for Your Majesty, but you want Your Majesty to bow down to everything, Tian Ji, Tian Ji, you are really useless." Strength, I want strength, I don't want to have such a powerless moment again. Master, I'm sorry, but I can't do what I promised you. β
The words were divided into two ends, Emperor Tianqing and Zixi rushed to Wei Yan's mansion. At this moment, Wei Yan was sitting in the study, and Zou frowned and said to himself: "I miss me, Wei Yan, I also had the favor of the emperor, and in just six years, I went from a nine-rank sesame official to a military secretary. It can also be said that it is on the rise.
I also made up my mind to die to repay the kindness of the emperor, and I also aspired to do my best for the people of the world and for the court and society.
But when Qingli rebelled, I watched from the sidelines and did not take sides. This is already a big shouldn't. But now, now that Concubine Hua has launched a coup d'Γ©tat, I have become a pawn. Alas, sin deserves death!"
Wei Yan at this moment actually gave people a feeling of heroic twilight. Perhaps, when you are young, who doesn't want to be a sincere person. Always full of ideals, to do something for the people of the world and for the country.
At this time, a voice sounded outside the door, saying: "The world is so turbid that when you open your eyes slightly, you will be covered with dirt, and the dirt will penetrate from the skin to the internal organs, and then to the heart, and to the soul, and it will not be washed. β
Wei Yan was very familiar when he heard this voice, Wei Yan was not in a hurry, nor did he shout. Instead, he said very calmly: "I don't know where it is sacred, can I show up and see it." β
"I don't dare to be sacred, I'm just an ordinary man. Saying that, Emperor Tianqing pushed open the door of the study and walked in.
Wei Yan was panicked when he saw Emperor Tianqing, and the calm face that had collapsed in front of him before was gone in an instant. Wei Yan hurriedly knelt down in front of Emperor Tianqing and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, Weichen deserves death." β
"Get up, I heard what you just said, and with these words, I can spare your life. Emperor Tianqing said.
Wei Yan replied: "Sinner, thank Your Majesty for not killing." β
"Alright, get up. Emperor Tianqing saw that Wei Yan was still kneeling, and said.
After Wei Yan thanked him, he stood up and said, "It seems that Your Majesty already knows everything. And the minister said no more. Your Majesty has orders, and the ministers should go to the soup and fight the fire. β
Di Tianqing sat on the chair in front of the desk, and Zixi stood beside Di Tianqing. Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said: "Okay, I don't need you to go to the soup and fire." I ask you how many of your people are in the prison. β
"Back to Your Majesty, 80% of the prison is at the disposal of Wei Chen. Wei Yan said.
Zixi was taken aback and said, "Eighty percent, Wei Shangshu is really a good means. When did the military department Shangshu do the warden thing? β
Wei Yan looked ashamed and was silent. Emperor Tianqing said: "Since the founding of Great Qin, the guards of the heavenly prison have been directly under the emperor's orders. The transfer to the post of warden does not belong to any department. Directly follow the emperor's orders. It seems that it is time for the people in this prison to change. Wei Aiqing, I think what I said is right. β
Wei Yan replied in a panic: "Only Your Majesty's orders are obeyed." β
Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "Wei Aiqing, I ask you, why did you vote for Concubine Hua? Even the original Qingli failed to make you defect. What kind of means did Concubine Hua use? β
Wei Yan said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the old mother is still alive. The minister was promoted by the first emperor and became the secretary of the military department. The minister understands the importance of this position.
I am afraid that one day, someone will threaten my mother. So he lied that his mother died that day. A beautiful funeral was held. The minister still remembers that the first emperor also came that day, and shed a tear.
However, the minister's mother did not die, but was arranged by the minister to live in a secluded place. I don't know where Concubine Hua got the news. I found my mother, and Weichen ......"
Emperor Tianqing said: "I understand, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. Wei Aiqing is thinking of a way to have both worlds. It's a pity that there is no impermeable wall in this world. β
