When he returned to the palace, the first thing Emperor Yongxi did was to summon Zhong Huan.

Zhong Huan had to enter the palace, and when asked why he didn't kneel and didn't sigh, and even had disapproval on his face, Zhong Huan hesitated again and again, and Fang said embarrassedly:

"This, there are always people who say that it is legal and human. I'm a brainless person, legal principles are legal principles, and human favor is human affection.

"Those brave people, after death, give knights, repair a good tomb, it's okay. But if their sins are so lightly spared; Doesn't it mean that all the brave generals can erase the crimes they have committed before as long as they win a great battle and put their lives on the line?

"Let's think about this thing the other way around, how many of them are dead, what if they don't die? With this great merit, don't you kill it? And let them take the Wanguan family wealth they got with Han Zhen's power before to return to their hometown to live a comfortable life?

"If things in this world are so cheap, then it would be better for me to rebel. I took my junior sister to Beidi to kill a tribal leader, isn't it as easy as waving his hand?! Ah, and Xiao Dang and Zong Han, this matter is going to be their turn, can they let it go like this? ”

Zhong Huan pouted as he spoke, and the boss shook his head with disdain.

Emperor Yongxi felt like a confidant when he heard this, clenched his fists with both hands, kept pounding lightly on the imperial case, and nodded one after another: "Yes!" Right! Right! That's it! I only felt full of grievances before, but I didn't expect this layer! ”

"But the matter has passed, and Your Majesty shouldn't think too much about Yuzi, otherwise they will say that you have a grudge." Zhong Huan persuaded him, then sighed, shook his head with his hands and muttered: "I just think that these people are too good at bullying people, so I refuse to enter the court." As long as I'm only reasonable, where can I talk about them? ”

Emperor Yongxi sighed and fell on the throne, choking up, "I think so too. ”

Zhong Xuan looked at him sympathetically, and his tone was full of pity: "Your Majesty has worked hard. It's just that this country is yours after all, and their unreasonable practices can help you stabilize the country. No matter how wronged you are, you can only suffer it. ”

"Zhong Lang, you say, Taizu and Taizong, will they also suffer this kind of grievance?" Emperor Yongxi sat up suddenly, his eyes glowing with brilliance.

Zhong Huan was speechless, and after a long while, he was embarrassed to remind Emperor Yongxi: "Taizu wants to be the king because he can't stand the grievances of being a minister." But not to mention the monarchs and ministers, even the immortals have the same grievances that they have to suffer. If you feel that you can't stand it and you don't want to accept it, then won't this world be chaotic? ”

"Zhong Lang has been wronged?" Emperor Yongxi couldn't answer, so he simply changed the topic.

Zhong Huan chuckled softly: "That's a lot." When I was a child, the master taught me very strictly and strangely, which one must not be endured first?

"Later, I had a junior sister, she was a little lady and squeamish, and I had to suffer for her in front of the master for me.

"As for now, if I want to live a prosperous life in peace, don't I have to suffer the grievances of that goduncle in our family?"

Emperor Yongxi laughed, and turned to ask about Qian Da Province.

Zhong Huan casually talked nonsense to him for a while, and asked with a smile: "But when I was sacrificing prisoners today, I saw a person dressed as Beidi following General Tong below...... Behind Tong Shilang, is that the envoy sent by Beidi to sue for peace? ”

Hearing that he changed Tong Jie's title from general to squire, Emperor Yongxi couldn't be more satisfied, nodded with a smile, and told him very happily:

"Exactly. I heard that there is a new strategist around the king of Beidi, who is very powerful. This envoy heard that he was a friend of the strategist and knew everything about our Great Xia, so he volunteered. ”

"Volunteering? It's normal to be bullied and humiliated. How can anyone still like to be humiliated? Then I'll have to wait and see. Zhong Huan thought thoughtfully.

Who is that new strategist?

When Emperor Yongxi heard him say this, he actually had the intention of watching the negotiation, and immediately became happy, and said with a smile: "It is true that Zhong Lang is a businessman, but he is also a master of Xinglin, our senior brother of Lizhu, and my guest." Why don't Zhong Lang go to Honglu Temple and help me listen to what kind of nonsense the envoy will put out? ”

"That's fine. I'd love to hear about it. Zhong Huan agreed, his face full of interest in gossiping.

Emperor Yongxi happily left him to attend the celebration banquet, but was politely rejected by Zhong Huan: "I promised the Pear Flower Palace, I went over to eat at noon, and by the way, I told the Queen Mother and Lizhu about the scene when the prisoners were sacrificed." ”

"That's right. I was busy, and I didn't have time to report to the queen mother. Zhong Qing will go for me, speak carefully. The old people love to listen. Emperor Yongxi also knew that he couldn't push too hard, so he took a step back with a smile and instructed Mao Guo'er: "Tell the Si Shan Si that today's lunch in the Pear Flower Hall is good to be done with all your heart, and I will invite the Queen Mother, Lizhu and Zhong Lang to celebrate the banquet." ”

Zhong Huan said goodbye with a smile and walked out of the imperial study. Mao Guoer hurriedly followed and sent it out.

"What do you have to make me say that those people are wrong to intercede? What are you thinking about? But what did my uncle tell me before? ”

Zhong Fan looked around and asked in a low voice.

Mao Guo'er lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, pretending to walk seriously, and replied softly: "Your Majesty has been walking diligently in Yijiatang these days, and many ideas came from that one. If no one else speaks to His Majesty's heart, the villain is only afraid that His Majesty will obey that one from now on......"

actually let himself compete with Yu Liu......

Zhong Huan's face sank, he glanced at Mao Guo'er coldly, and snorted: "This kind of thing, why don't you say it to that concubine?" ”

Shouldn't it be a matter between women?!

Mao Guo'er's shoulder shook slightly: "Xiao Lang is angry!" This matter is the villain's lack of thought! Definitely not ...... in the future."

"From now on I say what you do, not the other way around." Zhong Huan coldly cut it off and left without hesitation.

Seeing that he was picked up by a smiling smile, Mao Guo'er had no choice but to stop, looked at his back for a long time, then sighed softly, turned around and went back to the imperial study to wait for Emperor Yongxi to leave for the banquet.

"So, you didn't praise the emperor?" Empress Dowager Shen squinted at Zhong Huan.

Zhong Huan looked at her inexplicably: "Queen Mother, breaking the law is illegal, and meritorious service is said to be meritorious." According to your logic, could it be that a person who has made meritorious service should let him go when he breaks the law again? ”

"Of course not."

That is to say, when he can use it, he will break the law, and when he can't use it, he will kill if he breaks the law. Is that what it means? Zhong Huan looked at Empress Dowager Shen's expression even more peculiar.

Empress Dowager Shen took a deep breath, turned her face to look at Shinu and said, "Let's urge the vegetables." The mourning family is hungry. ”

Shen Shenle, who was sitting on his cheeks with his hands on his cheeks, watched the excitement happily, with a face of "I don't have an idea, I'm so happy to watch the play."
