Chapter 42 The unknown things of the deep palace
The old man sighed, touched the cat in his hand with emotion, glanced at Mu Xi and Li Yuan, and said, "But ah, it's no wonder that you rich boys, miss." ”
After all, a mediocre emperor is useless no matter what kind of generals he has.
Let's just say that our first general, Mu Feng, Mu General.
Such a perfect general can be trapped in this small capital by this mediocre emperor.
There is not a single general who does not want to be able to gallop on the battlefield, but since General Mu returned, our life has become more and more difficult.
The harsh taxes are getting more and more serious, the last time I saw General Mu or Mu Gongzi returned to the city, I went out to have a good time.
General Mu is still in the prime of life, but he can only be trapped in this city wall.
As the old man spoke, he probably realized that it might be inappropriate for him to say these things in front of the rich boy and the young lady.
Smiling awkwardly, the old man accepted the dishes and chopsticks that Mu Xi had eaten, and took the silver handed over by Li Yuan.
Mu Xi listened to what the old man said somehow, in fact, what the old man said was very reasonable, if the people were miserable, then it was the monarch's dereliction of duty.
"Old man, you are not wrong, if a monarch cannot make his people live well, it is the dereliction of duty of the monarch, that is, the incompetence of the monarch."
The old man had a surprised expression on his face when he heard this, as if he didn't expect a person of Mu Xi's status to support his idea, the old man smiled, but didn't say anything more.
The two put the silver on the old man's platform, thanked them, and walked to another place.
Sometimes, the black cat barked at Muxi slimy, and circled her legs twice.
After walking a long way, Mu Xi turned his head, looked at Li Yuan's expression, and said, "You, do you think what that person said just now is wrong?" ”
Mu Xi stared at Li Yuan's face, not wanting to let go of any expression on his face, she wanted to know, Li Yuan, what was his opinion.
Li Yuan licked his lips and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with what he said, huh...... From my own point of view. ”
Mu Xi turned his head and continued to look at the road ahead, Li Yuan waited for a while, did not wait for Mu Xi's answer, and just wanted to ask something, Mu Xi called Li Yuan's name softly in front.
Hearing Mu Xi call himself, Li Yuan stared at Mu's back for a while, only to hear Mu Xi turn around, raise his head, look at Li Yuan, and say, "Li Yuan, do you know." When a person is lying, his lips will dry and he will involuntarily feel thirsty. ”
At this time, people will subconsciously do some actions, such as wanting to drink water, or ...... Like you just did, lick your lips.
Li Yuan smiled a little helplessly, and could only look at Mu Xi helplessly, Mu Xi said: "But it's a pity, I don't know where you lied, and I don't know why you lied to me." ”
But one thing I know for sure is that you lied to me just now.
Also, you feel uneasy when you're lying, and you want to make sure I really believe your lie.
Or, you want to know if I really believe what you say, so you keep staring, and some people say that people who lie don't dare to look other people's eyes, but this statement is actually wrong.
The liar will stare into the eyes of the other person because he wants to know for the first time whether the other person believes his lie.
Mu stopped and looked at Li Yuan fixedly, she probably knew why Li Yuan was lying.
Li Yuan's lies are nothing more than two, the first, he agrees with the old man's words, and the second, what he wants to hide from himself.
If it is the former, then it means that Li Yuan does not think that the current emperor is not a faint monarch. But judging from what Li Yuan had always thought, it was impossible for Li Yuan to say such a thing.
On the contrary, Li Yuan has always believed that the current emperor is neither a good father nor a good monarch.
A good father will definitely keep his children safe and healthy, but the current emperor obviously did not do this, and he turned a blind eye to the harem fights.
Those little princes and princesses who have been strangled in the cradle before they were born, if they are really counted carefully, I am afraid they can really be eye-opening.
The current emperor is not a good brother, he is merciless to his younger brother, I don't know if he inherited his mother's vicious heart, and he would be so ruthless.
As far as the world is concerned, this man is not a good emperor, no emperor can tolerate his subjects being in dire straits, and no emperor will allow his officials to loot the people's fat and ointment from the hands of the people.
Even if it was superficial, the emperors of the past would let the people see a thriving and hopeful country.
Even if such illusions will be crushed by countless natural and man-made disasters, even if such falsehoods will soon be torn apart.
But no matter what, there is some superficial work to be done after all.
Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, this truth is understood by almost everyone, but in this era, a lot of consciousness has not yet been formed, and many truths that everyone knew before have become incomprehensible truths here.
In addition to this, that is to say, Li Yuan wanted to hide something from himself, so he echoed his statement.
Mu Xi stared at Li Yuan, looking at Li Yuan is even a little uncomfortable now, Li Yuan was a little flustered, but he still smiled and said: "Mu Xi, you are a smart person, and I like you because of your cleverness." ”
I don't want the two of us to become enemies one day.
Mu Xi retracted his gaze and looked at Li Yuan who was smiling in front of him, and did not intend to investigate what Li Yuan was hiding, because he knew that if some things were pursued too much, it meant that this matter must be brought to a conclusion.
And a lot of things, without a conclusion, are the best conclusions, aren't they?
"You haven't eaten anything, let's go, let's go back to the yard."
As he spoke, Muxi turned around and walked towards the place he had come from. The purpose of coming out for such a trip has been achieved, so naturally I want to go back safely.
Li Yuan watched Mu Xi turn around and leave, and followed.
Mu Xi came out on such a trip, I am afraid that he wanted to admit those thoughts in his heart, and he knew very well that he did hide a lot from Mu Xi.
Since Mu Xi didn't plan to ask an answer, why did he have to have an answer?
An answer that neither side needs is something that does not necessarily exist.
Relying on this alone, I will not delve into a problem again.
