Chapter 767: For Whom Do You Live
"I have always believed that although there is a distinction between respect and humility in the world, the difference between the noble and the low, but the Venerable should obey the inferior with virtue and teaching, and the noble should be benevolent to protect the lowly and weak, rather than relying on the noble to disregard the life of the lowly, and it is difficult for people to be noble if they have no self-help and the heart of others, and the king is not worthy of being a king without the idea of sheltering his subjects, Zheng Gong's self-proclaimed ambition and ambition, in the final analysis, it is just his own greed and ambition, Zheng Gong, has he never imagined that the water will be subdued, and he will temporarily deceive and misobey the tyrant, and the king of Qin will agree with the concept of your monarch and minister's co-governance? Will he borrow the hand of his subordinates to eradicate Zheng Gong first? ”
According to Chungui's relays of the words of the Yuyang Zhenjun, before the return of Shi Yue, after the crimes of King Linzi and others were revealed, it was indeed Lan Ting who discovered the strangeness again, and found Zheng Xiu and Wen Xiao, etc., Lan Ting suspected that it was not unreasonable for King Qin to deliberately expose his flaws and borrow a knife to kill people, although Zheng Xiu was cautious, he was very likely to underestimate the enemy.
Moreover, Lan Ting thinks that he is still a sharp blade, and his lethality is not weak, and Zheng Xiu will be defeated if he is unable to parry in a hurry.
"I am willing to gamble and lose, Zheng will never focus on winning or losing, at least I have put all my efforts into my own wishes, even if the result is not satisfactory, I can't call it a regret." Zheng Xiu poured another glass of wine, and drank it all again: "Zhao Jibei, I did miscalculate many things, otherwise I would not have fallen into the current field, but there is one thing, I am still sure, Qin Xun, he is clearly very fond of your wife Gu, of course he will not force you to let your wife now, but in the future, he will sit firmly on the throne and become the overlord of the world, will he be willing to back down?"
Qin Xun is different from you, he reads the book of sages, and learns how to use the books of sages to lead you Confucian scholars, people in the royal family, but anyone who has an attempt on power, and pursues the king's domineering and not the so-called benevolence and virtue, even if you have merit from the dragon, but you must also understand why there is an allusion to the bird hiding the rabbit and the dead dog, you are really confident that you can retreat and protect your wife's room? ”
"Even if Zhao Mou is not allowed to die well, he will never act rebellious and harm the people of Li, Zheng Gong will no longer have to waste his tongue, if the world is obtained by the King of Qin, thousands of people will have the disaster of death and destruction, although Zhao Lanting has no great ambition, but he can't help the abuse anyway." Lan Ting got up, still holding the wine in the end: "Zheng and Zhao are two doors, there is a friendship between relatives and elders, Zheng Gong is about to confess, Lan Ting respects Zheng Gong this cup, so it should be the friendship of the two old alliances." ”
He drank and put the empty glass back on the table, leaving without looking back.
When he walked outside the Imperial Prison, passing by a cell, Lan Ting keenly sensed two resentful glances, and he looked sideways...... Heh, it turned out to be Wen Shouchu, but of course Lan Ting would not stop and engage in an unnecessary verbal battle with Wen Shouchu, and he was not interested in falling into a trap for someone like Wen Shouchu.
Not because he is tolerant, but because of his extreme contempt for Wen Shouchu, he can't understand such a person, because he admires a woman but never wants to have true feelings for her, but he uses the bad behavior of putting a woman in a desperate way to humiliate and occupy, this is not love, this is just to satisfy his own possessiveness.
He also passed through the prison where Shin Wenxiu was being held, and this time Lan Ting stood still.
But he didn't say a word.
Shen Wenxiu was not executed, although Shen Shi's crime was serious, although Shen Yi and Shen Hong were also accomplices, but Shen Wenxiu did not know about his father's crimes, he was not completely innocent, but he was not guilty of death, but he was exiled to Tieling Wei Chongjun, Lan Ting was not sure whether Shen Wenxiu could endure so much torture, but what he could be sure of was that Shen Wenxiu would never die on the way to the army because he was tortured, unless he insisted on killing himself.
Shen Wenxiu also recognized Lan Ting, but he quickly avoided his gaze, staring at the mottled gray wall on the side of the prison cell, and suddenly slammed his forehead against the gray wall.
"Wenxiu, what are you doing here?" It was his father, Shen Hong, who stopped him.
That's right, Shen Hong was also escorted to the capital, because he had confessed, and he was no longer detained alone at this time, and Shen Wenxiu was locked in a prison, his eldest son Shen Wenjie had committed suicide in fear of crime, Shen Hong of course understood that Shen Wenxiu was released from prison alive, even if he was in the army, he might still be lucky enough to get amnesty one day, even if he could not be an official again in this life, but Wenxiu was a talented Confucian after all, and it was still possible to train his sons and nephews to gain fame through the imperial examination.
If you can live one by one, there is always hope for life.
"Why, why did my father want to kill Uncle Gu Shi, why didn't you stop my uncle's crime in the first place? Why is the father so stupid and blindly subservient to his grandfather and uncle, why does the father harm Gu Gong, the father has taught his son to be loyal to the monarchy since he was a child, and as a result, is the father so exemplary for his son? Shen Wenxiu hid her face and cried bitterly.
How good if his father and grandfather had not had malicious intentions? He can naturally marry his sweetheart, and he can treat his wife wholeheartedly like Zhao Lanting, relying on ten years of cold
The window studied hard to learn and strive for the honor of a generation of famous ministers, he could have lived in the sun, why was he dragged into this dark prison by his family!
Shen Hong was speechless.
He struggled, but in the end he succumbed to blood kinship, how could he send his beloved father and brother to death prison with his own hands, the only thing he could do back then was to fight for a glimmer of life for his classmates and confidants, but after many years, he still had a troubled conscience, and now he finally ushered in the retribution.
"Xiu'er, I know that you hate your father for being cowardly, because your father can't stand you, and I also know where your heart has been all these years, but you and the Gu family's daughter don't have that fate at all, when I saw the Gu family's daughter's eyes, I knew that she was a child with a resolute temperament, once she had doubts in her heart, she would not give up the investigation, you ask yourself If you really let you marry Gu's daughter, now that this is the situation, how do you deal with yourself, and how will she deal with herself? You are now also a husband and a father, and you are also the only one to rely on your wife and children, so no matter how resentful you are, no matter how sad you are, you have to live, and you will no longer live for yourself from now on. ”
"From now on? When have I ever lived for myself! Shen Wenxiu muttered a cry.
Chungui listened to the conversation between Lan Ting and Zheng Xiu, and he was also completely unable to understand Zheng Xiu's mentality: "He chose King Qin just because King Qin is not a person at all?" How easy it would be for such a vicious thing to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan one day? ”
"Probably." Lan Ting smiled bitterly: "Before Shi Yue returned, I committed such a great crime of rebellion as murdering the king, and Xuan Zhutang and other clansmen were not even sentenced to death, which shows how happy the tyrant's death was." ”
But Lan Ting's words didn't agree with Zheng Xiu's thoughts, he just thought that maybe many people in this world have the secret cause of madness, like King Qin was tortured and could only be satisfied by doubling the abuse of others, Zheng Xiu, he wanted to completely get rid of the oppression of etiquette, law and morality, he had no good and evil in his heart and no standard, what he hated might be limitations, but no matter who he was, it was impossible to do whatever he wanted without limitations.
"There is Lao Huihui who sent people to the Xisheng Pavilion to pack up and arrange a guest house." Lan Ting said suddenly.
"But there's a guest coming?" Spring return asked.
"It's not hard to guess, Huihui might have guessed which distinguished guest it was?"
"Could it be Feng Weng and Feng Fei?"
Lan Ting smiled, he took Chungui's hand and took the person into his arms.
