Chapter 425: Taking Responsibility Together
In the Xilong Palace, Emperor Que Haoyi has been waiting for the two for a long time.
In the afternoon, he learned about Jin Yuanjing's beating to death in Chaoyunguan yesterday, of course, it is not a big deal to kill a few people, what matters is what is the attitude of the two people he newly supported.
Before they came, Que Haoyi made up his mind that if they didn't come, they would directly put Jin Yuanjing under house arrest in a separate temple, and the treatment would be the same as that of Zhang Yuqian before. But he also believed that Runye and Jin Yuanjing would come to him.
Sure enough, as soon as the day was blackened, the lieutenant came over and said that the two had arrived, which made Que Haoyi breathe a sigh of relief.
Jin Yuanjing and Runye came from outside the door, and they entered the hall in a worried mood, and the light of the candles illuminated Runye and Jin Yuanjing's faces miserably.
When the two saw the emperor, they saluted respectfully, and the number of salutes was very thoughtful, and the speed was extremely slow.
Que Haoyi put down the fold in his hand, looking at the two people who were respectfully in front of her, his throat trembled up and down slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
"It's night, what's the matter with the two Dao Masters asking to see?" Que Haoyi's old dragon bell's voice came, although he used pills to condition his body for a long time, but his body was not as good as before.
Runye didn't dare to raise his eyes, let alone look at the emperor's face.
"Returning to the emperor, Jin Yuanjing and I rectified the style of teaching in Chaoyunguan, and during this period, we accidentally beat the two of them to death due to torture."
Runye's words were very bland, recounting a fact, and defending himself, and he was even more reluctant to say anything more to expose more information.
Que Haoyi looked at Runye, and then glanced at Jin Yuanjing behind him.
"Hey, Chaoyunguan's teaching style should be rectified, it's too unusual." Que Haoyi, as a superior, has an innate momentum.
But at this time, he didn't react much to the problem of killing people, but said that it should be rectified.
To be honest, Runye was still very surprised by this sentence, and at the same time, it was Jin Yuanjing who was also very surprised.
No matter how you say it, the Taoist priests of Chaoyunguan all have roots and connections, and no matter who they kill, there may be officials behind them.
The emperor's words continued, it didn't matter which official had an idea, it was like abandoning two discarded sons.
"Your Majesty, whether the plume of Chaoyunguan is not a plume from elsewhere, this time we already know that we have made a big mistake, and I hope the emperor will punish it." Runye said very sincerely, at this time he did not regard himself as a Taoist priest at all, but as the emperor's courtier.
Jin Yuanjing heard that Runye was already so low, and he really couldn't bear to let Runye continue to talk alone.
"Your Majesty, the punishment of the Taoist priest was the punishment scale set by me on the day, and he only acquiesced and did not participate, and the poor Taoist is willing to take all the responsibility."
In fact, many Taoist priests kneel to the heavens and the earth, and do not kneel to the world, and many people also regard themselves as ministers in heaven rather than underground, and they are not very respectful to the emperor.
And Runye did the opposite, he was decent to the gods, and he didn't seem to be too enthusiastic, and today he did everything that the emperor should do as a courtier.
Que Haoyi was very satisfied with Runye's reaction and cast an approving gaze.
To be honest, in his heart, a Taoist priest should have such an attitude as Runye.
"Okay, I already know about this matter, one of you is in charge of the sect, and you are the prison of Chaoyunguan, and the Taoist priest who punishes his Taoist temple, even if it is to give death, it is not too much. They are Taoist priests, and they should have listened to you, if they don't have this power, how can they discipline the entire Xuanmen? Whether the same thing happens today or tomorrow, it will be at your disposal. ”
Que Haoyi's word by word, Chrysostom and Yu's words, can no longer be changed.
This is really shocking to hear.
"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Runye bowed again, and Jin Yuanjing also bowed with Runye.
At the moment when they bowed down to get up, they clearly saw the emperor's satisfied face, and the two of them didn't know what kind of praise this satisfied face was for their behavior.
Que Haoyi looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, especially when he saw Runye's face......
"Jin Yuanjing, you are the prison of Chaoyunguan, go back and tell the people of Chaoyunguan my message."
Runye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that he had finally finished this matter and could return to Chaoyunguan.
Obviously, Que Haoyi wanted to stay for a while.
"Runye, since you have entered the palace, you will serve by my side."
Runye suddenly raised his head and was very stunned, but soon the stunned emotions disappeared in the Xilong Palace, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Yes."
Jin Yuanjing knew that the emperor was going to stay overnight, and thought that this was also something that could not be avoided, so he took a few steps back and left the Xilong Palace.
The atmosphere that permeated the air entered a more tense state.
Runye gasped softly, he cautiously approached the emperor's side, then picked up a small drip can, poured water into the inkstone, and then picked up the cinnabar pine tower ink and grinded it on it.
Vermilion liquid oozes from Mo's head.
The emperor glanced at Runye and said, "What, there is a doubt in my heart?" ”
Runye trembled up and down for a moment, and then said: "No, the first time I served, I was really a little afraid, I was afraid that I would not serve well, and I would make you more troubled." ”
Que Haoyi looked at Runye, his eyes gradually became fascinated, he really didn't know why there were people in this world who looked like Ji Yuzhi like this, this child was exactly the same as when Ji Yuzhi was young.
"If your father doesn't leave, he is now the same age as me, he likes sweets, I don't know if he will become a pot-bellied national teacher now, ridiculed by others, and he can't kowtow."
For the first time, Runye knew that his father had a sweet tooth, and all his memories had disappeared with the carriage falling off a cliff, so it was good to remember a little bit about his father.
"I don't know, but if the future is really like this, then it would be perfect for my father to leave at the best time."
Que Haoyi didn't answer Runye's words, and then dipped a pen in cinnabar and reviewed it on the fold.
Runye's hands did not stop, and soon the color of cinnabar became thick and red.
The emperor wrote three or four copies in a row, and then looked at Runye and stopped writing, thinking about taking a break and then continuing to work.
"Runye, I heard that you are very close to a woman."
Runye's hand shook for a moment, and then he looked at the emperor and let out a foolish smile.
"Your Majesty, since Poor Dao has taken the position of the head of the sect, he must have contact with men, women, and children, and there are many female pilgrims who have come to Chaoyunguan three or four times, I don't know who you are talking about."
Que Haoyi looked at Runye, not like he was lying.
Then he sighed and put the brush down.
"Hey, these people like to chase after the wind, that girl heard that it was Lu Ming's future...... Sister-in-law. ”
Lu Mingci?
When this name appeared, Runye shivered again, he didn't know what he should do now, and he was afraid that if he said any more words, it would be a threat to the name.
The emperor's sensitivity was well known, and he really did not dare to risk the condemnation of the world.
"Yes, I know her. But Master Lu didn't say that he wanted to marry her sister, but the one named Amber often pestered Lu Mingci. I heard that Lu Mingci has given the truth, and he is not afraid. ”
Que Haoyi smiled, this was the first time he laughed today, and Runye was also relieved, thinking that he had finally made the emperor happy.
"Hey, you know a lot, and I thought you were a person as depressed as Ji Yuzhi. It seems that when you were in Peach Blossom Village, you also had a good relationship with the villagers? ”
Runye nodded, although he didn't agree with this statement, and the relationship between Peach Blossom Village and him was not very good, but since the emperor said it was very good, then he would admit it.
"The existence of Peach Blossom Village has always been a place of newborn for me, and no matter where I go, he is in my heart."
"When your father leaves this world, it would be good if he could choose to rest in this place."
Saying that, Que Haoyi looked up at Runye, which made Runye nervous again.
"Does Jin Yuanjing think he can handle this position?"
This cold question is the most difficult to prevent, and Runye finds this question really difficult to answer.
To say that it is appropriate, what happened yesterday is enough to prove his incompetence, and he is biased in handling things.
But if it's not appropriate, Jin Yuanjing will be condemned again, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
For the sake of the stability of the position of the sect, he should indeed say that Jin Yuanjing is not suitable, but ......
"Is it appropriate, Jin Daochang's age is there, and people in their twenties have a softer wrist after all. But it's good that he can deter Chaoyunguan now, and he hopes that the emperor can give him more time. ”
Que Haoyi laughed again, he has never liked to laugh twice, even the eunuch in charge who followed him felt strange, the emperor was not such a person who loved to laugh on weekdays.
Runye didn't know what to say, so he could only look at the emperor and wait for his next sentence.
"You have a really good relationship with him."
"Just in all fairness."
Runye lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the cinnabar under his hand, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he quickly stopped his hand and put the cinnabar ingot aside.
"Your Majesty, Jin Yuanjing has no foundation in the end, he is not as good as me, I at least have the father who never remembered who can exempt me from a lot of responsibility and guilt, and he has to take responsibility for what he does. But he's only twenty years old, and he's just had his birthday a few days ago, so what should you do with him? ”
Que Haoyi admitted that what Runye said made sense.
Jin Yuanjing was a Taoist priest who suddenly broke into his field of vision, and because Runye was given a purple robe to fight disasters, he was also given a purple robe, and he knew Runye, so he pulled out a layer and chose him to be the abbot of the temple.
Coincidentally, Chaoyunguan lacked a prison, so he let him go.
Although he doesn't work hard, he is very clever every time.
"There are no connections and connections, did you think he was vouching? If anything goes wrong with him in the future, it will be counted on your head. ”
Runye walked in front of the emperor and was deeply moved.
"Back to the emperor, since Poor Dao has pushed him to this position, he is willing to stop all the blame on himself."
Que Haoyi smiled happily when he heard this.
"That's right, Ji Yuzhi's child is like himself after all."
