Chapter Twenty-Three: The Emperor is unpredictable

Summer is long, and early in the morning, and the day has begun. The streets were not very peaceful, and the people in the court were panicked.

Wei has not released Nanming's people so far, and is still in prison, and has cut off trade with Nanming, waiting for Nanming's reaction. This move caused an underflow of people throughout Nanming, rumors spread everywhere, and the people fell into a deep panic.

Bordering Weiyang City on the border of Weiguo is Nanming Nanxiang City. Although Nanxiang City is the border of Nanming, it is also an outstanding person, and Prime Minister Wei Cheng came from here. On weekdays, the merchants of Nanxiang City gather, the people are rich, all kinds of rare and good things can be found here, full of vitality, and the flow of people is endless.

Now it has been detained, the road has been closed, and the wealth has been cut off by the Wei State, and the entire Nanxiang City is shrouded in haze, which is not even the prime minister of Wei Cheng, and Nanxiang Taishou is even more shrinking in the house, not daring to face it, only hoping that the holy decree can come sooner.

On the side of the Nanming Imperial City, all the ministers had a question in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only wait for the will of the emperor. After all, the Emperor Ming, who even put the safety of his own prince at risk, punished them like stepping on ants.

Emperor Ming didn't say a word, and waited with all the ministers, just because King Nancheng refused to go to court.

"Come on, go and invite King Nancheng, and you have to bring it in." Emperor Ming said lightly, neither angry nor angry, with an expressionless face.

After a while, the king of Nancheng was "invited", but this white single dress attracted the dumbfoundedness of the ministers.

"I went to court without changing my clothes, what kind of body did I become, what kind of system did I become!" Some ministers whispered.

"When did King Nancheng become so unbearable, he actually wore sleeping clothes, tsk" Another minister discussed to the people around him.

Such criticisms, King Nancheng turned a deaf ear, had no scruples, stood in the center of the court, his hair was scattered, dressed in single clothes, and silently expressed his endless disappointment in this court.

Seeing that he was so immature, Emperor Ming couldn't help laughing, and ordered: "Ha, come on, give Nan Cheng a seat." ”

As soon as he heard this, King Nancheng's bloodless face became a little angry, as if he had been humiliated by his father, and his empty eyes were also focused.

"Fu Nancheng sat down." As soon as the emperor ordered, the guards immediately gathered around King Nancheng, but they hesitated for a moment to spy on each other, and finally dared to make a move and firmly pressed King Nancheng on the seat.

"Okay, do you have something to do?" The prelude to the early dynasty has finally come to an end, and it is time to get down to business.

Presumably, everyone present had a question in their hearts, perhaps 'Why did Your Majesty make a false alliance with the Wei Kingdom', or 'King Nancheng went to Wei to form an alliance and ordered the secret book to spread Wei, why didn't I know all this?' Or, 'Why did you cheat those twelve tantrics?' ’。

No matter how many doubts there are in their hearts, or even if they feel scared, no one dares to speak. Even if King Nancheng went to court in single clothes and wore a cloak and hair, this indecent style disgusted these Confucian scholars, but they had to sincerely admire and envy what he did.

"The world is peaceful, nothing to do?" Emperor Ming asked, he didn't need to explain anything for what he had done, but the rebellion in Nanxiangcheng was bound to be quelled.

King Jing realized the meaning of Emperor Ming, and stepped forward to play: "If you talk about this peaceful matter, the minister has something to play. ”

Emperor Ming nodded slightly and did not comment.

"In recent days, because the Wei State has detained my Nanming people in the heavenly prison and cut off trade, there has been some turmoil in Nanxiang City, and the people have complained of misery. I heard that Nanxiang Taishou actually closed the door and did not come out, which made people panic, and rumors continued, and some people even listened to the slander and fled in all directions. Hey, Nanxiang City fell into decay for a while. King Jing said helplessly, he also had a question in his heart, which was different from everyone else. King Jing was very dissatisfied with Emperor Ming's distrust of him, and he hid such a major matter from him in pretending to form an alliance, and almost harmed his daughter He Ju, which made him very concerned.

"I have heard about Nanxiang City for a long time, and now I urgently need to send someone to quell the turmoil. Thinking about it..."Emperor Ming's eyes gradually focused on King Nancheng, who was in the middle of the main hall on the left, and said with a little joy: "It's still Nancheng that is the most suitable." ”

King Nancheng was stunned, this holy decree seemed to make it worse, making this cold heart even more chilling.

Emperor Ming picked up the holy decree that had been prepared in one hand, handed it to the herald, and said, "Declare my will." “

The herald cleared his throat slightly, and the secretary immediately knelt on the ground, and the commander preached word by word: "Obey the order of the sky, and live forever." The rebellion in Nanxiang is not the responsibility of the people, it is not the crime of being too guarded, it is my fault. In order to quell the turmoil and show the emperor's prestige, he worshiped the fifth prince Nancheng King as the assassin of Nanxiang City, and set off on the same day to go to Nanxiang, which is bound to calm the turmoil and appease the people. Announce it to the world, and make it hear. ”

Everyone knelt down and got up, only King Nancheng sitting. He looked like he was dead, broke free from the guard's hand, and stood up. Slowly walked towards Emperor Ming, his heart was full of sadness, one step at a time, and he said in a deep voice:

"There are many power deceitful in the world, and there is no cunning and deceitful. Suffering from many desires and the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Heaven can be measured, earth can be measured, but when it is opposite to the father's heart, it is unpredictable. ”

Everyone knows how heavy each step of King Nan Cheng is, but in fact, no one knows. Every word seems to be plucked in my heart, and it hurts my heart.

Such heartfelt words, but Emperor Ming was unmoved, and he did not raise his eyebrows, and the commander immediately figured out the holy will, and said to King Nancheng: "You still don't receive the decree and thank you?" ”

I saw King Nancheng turn around angrily and walk towards the outside of the hall. Emperor Ming didn't say anything, so no one dared to stop him, and let him go out.

As soon as the early dynasty passed, when the secretaries retreated from the court, there was a lot of discussion, only to see that the officials who didn't dare to say a word just now began to speak generously: "The person who was detained by the Wei State, doesn't Your Majesty care?!" An official said.

"I've been waiting for His Majesty's decree, but I just sent King Nancheng to quell the turmoil, do you think this King Nancheng will ignore these people?" Another official commented.

King Hui said with King Jing: "Your Majesty is afraid that King Nancheng is going to die, this is his most proud prince, how can he be so ruthless." ”

King Jing guessed a little holy intention in his heart: "I think, Your Majesty, he has his own intentions and good intentions." ”

King Hui smiled and said nothing, thinking that King Jing must be dissatisfied in his heart but unwilling to speak to himself, but said some flattering words. King Hui waved his hand without looking back, signaling that it was neither right nor not, and hurried away.

King Jing also smiled and said to himself, "This old fellow. Hui Wang Mingzhe was used to protecting himself, thinking that King Jing was the same as him, which made King Jing a little crying and laughing.

The herald followed Emperor Ming all the way, and finally had the opportunity to ask, "Your Majesty, this holy decree...?" ”

"Send it to Nancheng Mansion, if he doesn't pick you up, he will keep announcing it in the house, loudly until he receives it." Emperor Ming wrote lightly, and there was a little bit of amusement in his words.

The herald took the order, shook his head after a hundred meters, sighed, and hurried to the Nancheng Palace.

"Ordered to be in the sky, and the longevity of Yongchang..." This is the twelfth time that the herald has read this holy decree, and King Nancheng does not kneel or accept it.

The herald's mouth was already dry and exhausted, and he continued to preach: "Obey the orders of heaven, and live forever..." Everyone in the house could only kneel and kowtow, prostrate on the ground to listen to the order, their knees were in pain, and their bodies were already numb.

King Nancheng was still unmoved, and said gloomily: "No need to declare, go back and tell my father: It is my sorrow to be born in the emperor's family, it is my sorrow to be used as a pawn by my father, it is my life to deceive the world with many powers, and it is my shame to deceive Wei Zhixin." Pile by pile, Nan Cheng is difficult to bear the burden, but at this time, he still has Nan Cheng to calm the anger of the people and face the loss of conscience that he personally promoted, so cruel, isn't it? If the commander still wants to read it, please do it. ”

The commander also has a heart, and like the ministers, he can't bear it. But the commander did not dare to disobey the command, so he had to continue to read it. If it weren't for the holy decree in his hand, he would definitely kneel and bow to King Nancheng, and Nancheng's heart wept with the sun and the moon.

Nancheng, difficult to bear......
