Gao Ruzhen's words made Xiao Tingyi frown slightly.

It is true that Gao Ruzhen is a person who thinks very long-term.

What is the most important foundation for a country?

Stable and stable.

In this way, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country can have smooth weather and prosperity.

But that can only be achieved under the premise that the royal family is not in turmoil.

As the controller of the entire country and the spiritual symbol, if the royal family breaks its head every day and the country does not operate efficiently, then what is too much of the people's life?

Gao Ruzhen is worried about this.

At the moment, Xiao Tingyi has no intention of becoming an emperor, but what about his children?

If one day, when the child grows up and discovers the Boundless Seal in the palace, what will he think in his heart?

Will he let his imperial uncle return the throne?

And if that happens, and the cadres have not been stable for a few years, they will have to fall into a dispute again.

Xiao Tingyi didn't use force and got rid of Xiao Mingrui, but what about the people who came after?

What if the country is divided into two and a war is formed, and a small war is fought in three days, and a major war is fought in five days?

After all, it is the common people who suffer.

"This, this king is really difficult to answer."

Xiao Tingyi told the answer very honestly.

After all, he can't cover the sky with one hand, and when the child is older, he will also enter the ranks of aging, if it is said that it will happen in the future, no one can really say.

He didn't have to draw a big pie out of his mouth.

And Ye Qingli said, "Why don't you wait for the other two princes to return to Beijing to discuss this matter?" ”

Xiao Tingyi nodded.

Gao Ruzhen also sighed and said, "The lower officials ask the prince to think twice, the stability of the country is the long-term solution." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Tingyi didn't say anything more, just watched Gao Ruzhen leave.

He understood what Gao Ruzhen meant.

If he doesn't become an emperor, but he has a son in the future, but he is unwilling, things will become more complicated and serious, because King Ming is already in his sixties this year.

Even if he ascends the throne, how many years can the emperor still be in power?

Shall not pass it on to a son?

And King Ming's eldest son is in his forties this year, and his grandson is also in his twenties, young and vigorous.

At that time, maybe it will be another uncle and nephew war.

In order to prevent this situation, in fact, the best way is for Xiao Tingyi to be the emperor himself.

What's more, the Boundless Seal is held in his hand.

And half a month has passed in a flash.

Because the distance between Qingshan and the capital is relatively close, King Ming, dressed as a Confucian student, came to the capital with a feeling of joy of mountains and rivers.

Moreover, King Ming brought his granddaughter Xiao Jingxin all the way over in the posture of touring the mountains and rivers.

Xiao Tingyi and Ye Qingli personally greeted them at the city gate.

After all, King Ming is also sixty-three years old this year, and he is the age of his elders wherever he puts it.

"Oh, this is my brother and sister!"

As soon as he saw Ye Qingli, King Ming gave her a friendly smile, and said to his granddaughter beside him, "Calm down, don't you hurry up and see your ninth grandfather and ninth grandmother!" ”

Ye Qingli was suddenly a little messy, this generation is really too ...... What's the matter?

It's all because Xiao Tingyi was born late at the time, but he was still a senior.

The Xiao Jingxin in front of him looked seventeen or eighteen years old, he looked very smart and delicate, his eyes flickered, but when he heard his grandfather's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Yes, when I see someone who is not much older than me, I have to call my grandparents, which is indeed a little difficult to accept.

The main thing is that you can't shout.

So, Ye Qingli took the initiative to relieve the siege and said with a smile, "We are not too close, so don't be difficult for the child." ”

"Brother and sister can't say that, how can they be rude when they see their elders?"

King Ming has been teaching and educating people all his life, and he attaches the most importance to etiquette.

Because of this, the children in his family are all full of bookish rhyme, even this Xiao Jingxin, who looks a little lively and cute, has good etiquette in his actions.

"Grandpa Nine...... Nine grandma is so ......"

Xiao Jingxin lowered her head and shouted stubbornly, her voice was the same as that of a mosquito.

Xiao Tingyi's expression was also very subtle at this time.

I think he is only in his twenties, and he is already a grandfather.

Well......

He glanced at Ye Qingli beside him, and said in his heart, he still has to hurry up and work hard, otherwise, this generation will become more and more unable to rank.

Ye Qingli also seemed to feel something, so she went to look at him, but found that Xiao Tingyi had already recovered a serious expression and said, "Brother Seventh Emperor, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

It is true that King Tong is indeed the one who has the best relationship with him.

When Xiao Tingyi faced King Xiao, he called him Brother Huanghuang, and for other princes, he was called by the rank of brothers.

It's a pity that fate plays tricks.

I don't know where King Xiao is now, whether he knows the news that Xiao Mingrui is dead, and what he thinks in his heart.

"yes, long time no see."

King Ming stroked his beard, looked around the city, and sighed, "There have been a lot of changes. ”

In the tone, there is a feeling that things are people and everything is resting.

"Actually, it's just that the vendors who set up the stalls are different."

Xiao Tingyi explained with a smile, "Brother Huang, when you left Beijing, it was winter, and there were several stalls selling sweet potatoes here, but now it is summer, and they have changed to watermelons. ”

"You can say it."

King Ming just shook his head, and said to Xiao Jingxin beside him, "Jingxin, you follow Grandpa, Jingzhong is not as comfortable as Qingshan, there are many people, you are not familiar with the place, be careful of getting lost." ”

"Yes, Grandpa."

Xiao Jingxin replied obediently, looking at the stall on the side.

Qingshan has a beautiful and quiet environment, even if there are small towns and markets at the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Jingxin has never seen such a bustling street, and the atmosphere is so lively as usual.

In her memory, only during the Chinese New Year, it will be more lively, and on weekdays, the academy is very quiet, and the only sound is the sound of Langlang books.

Seeing that she was very interested, Ye Qingli said, "It's better to be like this, it's rare to come back, I'll take Jingxin to play, and the prince will accompany the imperial brother back to the house." ”

Xiao Jingxin's eyes suddenly lit up, but she still turned her begging gaze to her grandfather.

Xiao Tingyi agreed, "That's fine, I'll have a drink with the imperial brother." ”

King Ming also knew that Ye Qingli was kind, so he immediately advised, "Calm down, don't make trouble for your ninth grandmother." ”

"Yes, Jing Xin knows."

Xiao Jingxin nodded, but Ye Qingli was messy for no reason.

She always felt that she was called grandma when she was only twenty years old, and she had a feeling that her face was full of wrinkles in an instant......

Seeing that Xiao Jingxin was very obedient and obediently agreed, King Ming nodded again, "Okay, let's go play." ”

"Let's go."

Ye Qingli smiled, took the initiative to take her hand, and said to King Ming, "Brother Huang, please rest assured, I promise to take care of Jingxin, and then bring her back safely and happily." ”

Du Ruo has always been by his side, and safety is not a problem.

Immediately, they walked towards the lively flow of people.

Two days ago, Du Ruo found a delicious taste in Song Ji Teahouse, and she was going to take Xiao Jingxin to taste it.

Looking at the disappeared figures of the two of them, Xiao Tingyi instructed Lin Feng, "Let's go home." ”

"Yes!"

Lin Feng agreed, then went to check the horses and carriage, and after waiting for King Ming and Xiao Tingyi to get into the car, he jumped on the front of the car and drove all the way back to the palace.

At this time, in the prison, Zheng Enyi's expression was sluggish, and it seemed that his spirit was about to collapse.

As long as King Ming walked on the road, he was tortured for as long as he was.

Moreover, Xiao Tingyi's method of torturing people is really not an ordinary one.

It's just a matter of not letting him sleep every day, but it is stipulated that he must freshen up on time every morning, eat three meals a day, and no leftovers, and must be delicately cleaned at night, and then go to bed and wait to be destroyed, otherwise he will tickle barefoot.

Sleepy and sleepy, how can he have the energy to do this, and he can't comb his hair neatly, and he has to tickle.

The reason for this is only to tell him which country the letters are from.

But I don't know what evil he has committed, Zheng Enyi himself has been imprisoned, but he has never refused to tell the truth.

So, Xiao Tingyi thought of such a method.

Let the jailer make a suona, and blow it in his ear, and besides, he is still a jailer who doesn't understand the rhythm, can this blowing sound good?

The strange movement of yin and yang, not to mention Zheng Enyi, even the surrounding prisoners couldn't sleep.

Moreover, most of the prisoners in the prison are death row prisoners, and they will all die sooner or later, so they threaten and abuse Zheng Enyi in various ways, claiming that if they are noisy to rest again, they will send him away first!

But even so, Zheng Enyi still gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

"Master Zheng, now that you are no longer the secretary of the Criminal Department, who cares if you live or die?"

The jailer blew the suona for a while, and felt that his cheeks hurt, so he put it down to drink water, and while rubbing his cheeks, he persuaded again, "Although it is better to die than to live, but in such a situation, what is the point of living for so long?" Think about your family, who are now locked up on the other side. ”

The prison guards have had their own set of methods over the years.

If you can't bear the punishment, you will be scared.

And if you can bear it, torture is actually not much use, the key is to move it with emotion and reason.

As long as you can grasp a certain weakness in the prisoner's heart, and use it skillfully, you can break through the prisoner's indestructible defenses and get everything they want to know.

In this way, it is also a great achievement.

But in the face of the painstaking persuasion of the jailer, Zheng Enyi was still stunned and did not react at all.

"Ugh."

The jailer sighed, picked up the suona on the table again, and said, "I'm almost done, Lord Lin Feng has an explanation, I don't dare to pause for too long, since you don't want to say, then I'll continue to start." ”

After finishing speaking, he babbled again, and it was very ugly.

At this time, Lin Feng walked in slowly, and when he saw that the jailer was blowing very hard, he nodded, "It's very good." ”

His expression did not change in the slightest, as if the ugly suona sound sounded very pleasant to him.

As soon as the jailer saw that it was him, the sound of suona stopped abruptly, and he smiled busily, "Lord Lin Feng, the villain has been doing what you ordered, and he doesn't dare to be negligent in the slightest!" ”

In that expression, the meaning of respect and flattery is self-evident.

If you can let Lord Lin Feng say a word to yourself in front of His Royal Highness King Xian, maybe you don't need to look at the condemned prisoners in this dim and damp prison!

"Good."

Lin Feng nodded, and then said, "You go down, under the orders of the prince, now I will interrogate him alone." ”
