Chapter Forty-Eight: A Man Must Not Be Arrogant, He Must Not Live a Life
Just as he was thinking about this, Ji Xiaoguang had already unfolded the holy decree and looked at it with complex and very strong emotions.
The eagle and the others stared at his face in horror, and when they saw the changes in his expression, they could guess that this Lord Ji should have been scolded by His Majesty in the Holy Decree.
Really, His Majesty was so disappointed in him.
With the birth of this holy decree, Lord Jing Zhaoyin, who had been rampant in Chang'an for many years, lost all his fame and fortune, became a commoner, and had to face a long prison sentence.
Before this, although Ji Xiaoguang probably guessed that his ending would be very bad, he still dared to speak coldly to the palace general, showing his demeanor as Lord Jingzhao Yin, but after that, his expression quickly fell lonely, and all the hypocrisy and strength in the past disappeared.
People, still that person, just because of many identities, with a lot of halos attached, make him stronger, in fact, take off everything, he is nothing, everyone is the same.
Therefore, when you have those statuses or others, you must not be arrogant, forget that you are still stepping on the earth in a down-to-earth manner, and you can't get out of this vast and boundless world.
People should have a sense of awe, and understand that they are still only one person after all, and they are not something else that cannot be lost.
If you fail to do this, sooner or later you will capsize in the gutter and fall into eternal hell while leaving nothing.
Guan Kuo can probably understand that state of mind, he has gained, lost, gained, and lost. The ups and downs of the world, he is still the same Guankuo, he still knows that he is up and down in this world.
"Shackles." The palace general looked at Ji Xiaoguang, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he lowered his hand holding the holy decree, and commanded.
One of the guards got past the sluggish jailers and pulled another one on, allowing him to lead the way with the shackles.
For Ji Xiaoguang, His Majesty has been very disappointed, and he will definitely not get the same treatment as Guan Kuo.
Ji Xiaoguang would never have thought of this moment when he ordered the door of the palace to be closed, ready to stand by and watch, and it could even be said that he was watching a good show, because he had already discussed it with those ministers in advance, but at present, it seems that the analysis of those ministers is a fart, and it is completely useless in front of His Majesty, who is extremely angry.
The organs are exhausted, but they can't penetrate people's hearts, and people's hearts are very complicated.
The one who was in a bad mood a few days ago because of kneeling and being punished, and then felt weak all over his body, and the whole person was not good, but today he was alive and well, and it was as if he had lost all his strength, and his body fell backwards while being shackled.
"My lord! My lord! ”
The officials who came with him turned pale because of the sudden shock, and they were at a loss for a while, stunned, and stunned, and now they saw Ji Xiaoguang's body fall back weakly, and they were all awakened and rushed towards him, but they were stopped by the palace guards.
Fortunately, the guard who shackled Ji Xiaoguang was very opportune to restrain this former adult with no eyes and no one to let Ji Xiaoguang suffer the fate of falling or dying.
Seeing this, and knowing that everything had become a given, one of the jailers stepped forward with great interest and opened the door next to the cell.
Ji Xiaoguang was already weak, although his life or death may have been because His Majesty was so disappointed in him that he didn't care anymore, and they didn't care much, but he was still a living person there, so the guard helped Ji Xiaoguang into the cell, and let the other party sit in the corner with his whole body weak, and then walked out.
The cell door closed with a "squeak", followed by the sound of metal clashing, and the jailer locked the door with a lot of complexity.
Thinking that it was Lord Jing Zhaoyin who was locked inside, it was really like a dream.
Ji Xiaoguang used to be a little proud of Bai, Ruan, and Hua, because Bai Zhang and they were demoted and completely declined, and although he Ji Xiaoguang received punishment, he kept his official position and was still in power, but he didn't expect that after only a few days, he was not only in decline, but completely finished, becoming a prisoner and having nothing.
Heaven does iniquity, but it can live, but it does not live.
If you don't die, you won't die.
"Master Ji, you don't have to feel lonely, because although only Captain Guan is alone with you tonight, soon, more people will come to accompany you, and you will feel that this place is lively."
The palace general said this sentence inexplicably.
Ji Xiaoguang, who was already blind, raised his eyes slightly, and seemed to be a little moved, but he didn't speak.
Guan Kuo's expression changed very much, he felt that maybe the waves would not only sweep away himself and Ji Xiaoguang, but after tonight, even greater stormy waves would be swept under His Majesty's will.
Ji Xiaoguang was arrested, and the officials he brought looked at each other, full of confusion, they didn't know what they should do now, although they still had to live, but at least how should they live now?
But soon they didn't need to think about these questions, for the voice of the palace general came again, and it was to the jailers:
"Your Majesty's order, arrest them all, they are acting for the tiger, and follow Ji Xiaoguang to unscrupulously disobey His Majesty's will, here they will be arrested first, as for the government office, or other places, they will all be arrested, and none of them can be left!"
He walked towards the warden who was in a trance, and took out another holy decree from his arms: "This is for you, take it, and catch it as much as you want, you are a big prison, there may be some problems, so you can find a way to solve the matter of manpower, Jing Zhao Yin Mansion has undergone this change, at least there will be no one tonight, this matter, Your Majesty has decided to let you complete." ”
The eagle didn't know what to say, and his hands trembled a little to take the holy decree, and he stumbled: "Respectfully...... In accordance with His Majesty's will...... I will definitely do my best......"
This is the rare time in his life that he has received a holy decree written to him by His Majesty himself, but the emotions brought to him are not flattered, but a little overwhelmed.
The palace general walked away with the palace guard's armor, and the figure quickly disappeared, leaving only many people in place.
Even the dull-eyed officials and the jailers who were supposed to arrest people immediately did not make any movement to each other.
Finally, after a long time, they heard a very young voice:
"Catch, why don't you arrest, their adults have all come in, is it possible that they can still get away with it?"
Guan Kuo still comfortably leaned on the wooden pillow specially ordered for him by His Majesty, and lay there, looking at the people outside with a smile, and reminded him.
A lot of things have happened to him and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, among them, most of the time, Ji Xiaoguang is the one who gives the order, and those officials are the ones who carry out the order, just like the relationship between Li Zenan and Xue Zhao, he wants to kill Li Zenan, and he also wants to kill Xue Zhao, and here, Ji Xiaoguang has already come in, those officials, he also wants to see them come in quickly.
The large crowd outside was reacting at this moment.
The four or five of Ji Xiaoguang's cronies sat in the corner of the group in a panic, and Ji Xiaoguang, who was silent and motionless, one of them shouted in a state of emotion:
"My lord, help me!"
The moment he said this, he began to mock himself - now he still wants to seek Ji Xiaoguang's help, isn't it stupid?
But this is indeed the first reaction of the Jingzhao Yin officials who are relying on Ji Xiaoguang and are not afraid of anything at this moment.
Of course, Ji Xiaoguang ignored them, and didn't even raise his head.
Maybe he was still thinking about what happened today, why did he, who had always been clever, be shocked again and again after Guan Kuo came back, and then directly ...... That's it.
There were no exceptions, and even though many of the jailers here knew the officials, there could not have been any sloppiness in such a situation, and they quickly shackled the four or five cronies who were not in the mood to resist at all, and sent them to distant cells.
Most of the people went away, so this place became deserted as the palace general said, the firelight swayed, illuminating the darkness piece by piece, and only Guan Kuo and Ji Xiaoguang were left.
Guan Kuo lay silently on the bed, feeling the figure huddled in the corner not far from him, opening his eyes and looking up, not knowing what he was thinking.
Imprisoned again, for the second time in my life.
He is no longer what he used to be, and the treatment he received from two prisons is also heaven and earth.
After going through so much, his heart has already calmed down a lot, life, there will be all kinds of things, but that's it, now leaning on the wooden pillow, sleeping on the bed, and seeing his enemy suffering psychological torture not far away, isn't it very happy?
At least for the time being, he can't sleep.
After a long time.
A cold laugh broke his thoughts.
Ji Xiaoguang finally raised his head, turned his head to look at him, and said with resentment in his voice: "Guan Kuo, the tiger cub of the old thief, don't you feel very comfortable to see this official fall into such a situation now?" ”
"There are two mistakes in your sentence," Guan Kuo narrowed his eyes a little lazily, "First, seeing your current embarrassment, I am indeed a little comfortable, but there is no 'extreme', what price do you pay, I can only see, I can't get much benefit, secondly, you are no longer Jing Zhaoyin, your self-proclaimed claim should be changed, 'this official'?" 'Official', you're big! ”
"You ......"
After experiencing those blows just now, Ji Xiaoguang was discouraged, he thought that there was no longer anything that could make him have a big emotional wave, especially anger, but he didn't expect that in the face of Guan Kuo, he couldn't control himself.
"This is all thanks to you, and you will die with this official, you are really ruthless!" He suppressed his anger and snapped.
"Together? Blame me? Guan Kuo looked at him and felt that he was really ridiculous, and asked rhetorically: "May I ask Uncle Ji, why did you come in because of your majesty's crime, or did you suffer such an ending?" ”
He didn't wait for Ji Xiaoguang to answer, so he continued:
"It's because you didn't follow me to carry out His Majesty's orders that you ended up like this, imagine if you cooperated with me during the day today, what would happen now, would the two of us feel much better?"
"If you do that, no matter what, you'll feel much better than you do now, and that's called having a clear conscience."
Ji Xiaoguang didn't speak, he knew very well that what Guan Kuo said was right, but he retained an unforgettable hatred for Guan Kuo, because his fish in water was broken after Guan Kuo came back, so if you want to say that his current ending has nothing to do with Guan Kuo, who believes it?
