Chapter 142: Faint King
"When the disaster comes, the courtiers should report to the government, and the government will report to the court, make decisions, and prevent the disaster from happening, instead of making their own opinions, to let the people evacuate, the courtiers are not officials and nobles, how can the words be convincing, so that the evacuation of the people is delayed, and countless deaths and injuries are innumerable, in the eyes of the king, it is the crime of the courtiers." An Xueling said in a straight voice.
Although she had never met Emperor Guangshi, she had heard a lot from her father and Long Qingyuan, and she knew his character very well, so she said to her father, don't expect any reward, it's good not to be asked.
Emperor Guangshi is very conceited, and narrow-minded, all the merits must be his, and the blame is someone else's, if others steal his limelight, such as he predicted this disaster in advance, and now he has become a "living Bodhisattva" in the mouth of the world, which is absolutely intolerable to Emperor Guangshi.
So although thanks to her, the terrible consequences of this disaster were minimized, but Emperor Guangshi would not accept her love, and would only find an excuse to ask her about her crimes, so as to suppress her "arrogance" and not regard herself as a hero.
Tanglin Rui was surprised, he didn't know what to say, and the cold sweat was about to come down.
Emperor Guangshi probably never expected that An Xueling actually said everything he wanted to say, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.
"Father, it's not like that!" Dongling Rui hurriedly came down from the jade steps and saluted, "At that time, the situation was urgent, Mingxi Mountain was far away from the capital, if it was reported layer by layer, it would not be possible to wait for the father's instructions, and the people had already suffered, although in that situation at that time, An Xueling's words were not enough to convince everyone, it may be one to save one, if it weren't for her, the casualties of the people would be even heavier, father Mingjian!" ”
An Xueling said softly: "Thank you, Crown Prince." ”
Tanglin Rui waved his hand back, signaling An Xueling not to say more.
Emperor Guangshi patted the dragon case: "Dongling Rui, you are so bold, you dare to talk to Gu like this, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
"The father is angry, and the sons have no disrespect for the father, but just ......"
"You stand aside and have your own opinions." Emperor Guangshi said coldly.
Dongling Rui still had to say more, and he was afraid that his father would be even more angry and bring punishment to An Xueling, so he could only respond and step aside.
"An Xueling, Lone knows that you are in the limelight now, but you should know why Marquis Changxin came to Donghai County back then?" Emperor Guangshi's eyes were a little ruthless.
An Xueling pretended to be confused: "The courtiers are blunt, and I don't know what the king means." ”
"Yes, I know that I have to pretend to be confused when I know it's time to be confused, and it's pretty smart." Emperor Guangshi sneered silently, "Lone asks you, do you really have the ability to predict?" ”
"The courtiers just happened to be collecting medicine in Mingxi Mountain, and when they saw that there would be danger, they informed the villagers, the courtiers are so qualified, presumably they have no ability to predict, and the king smiled." An Xueling deliberately said ambiguously, which means that in the future, even if you know that I can really hear the voices of the upper and lower ground, you can't blame me for not telling the truth today.
Emperor Guangshi obviously didn't believe that An Xueling could really predict the past and the future, this time it was just a coincidence, and said: "That is the case, this time the matter has passed, and you can't be too ostentatious in front of people. ”
"Thank you for your innocence."
"Stand down."
"Yes." An Xueling got up and stepped back respectfully, with a disdainful sneer on her face.
No wonder the Furong Kingdom can only be a subject country, with such a king, it is like the Great Qing Kingdom, which is closed to the country, resting on its laurels, and sooner or later it will be destroyed.
Of course, she wouldn't say this, otherwise she would be chopped off by Emperor Guangshi in minutes.
Dongling Rui retracted his gaze and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did my father ask An Xueling about her crime, if it wasn't for her this time, ......"
"Rui'er, you're still too young." Emperor Guangshi sneered, "Whether An Xueling predicted this incident in advance or not, she will inevitably be proud of her achievements, if she rewards her again, the more she will be arrogant, don't you forget, Changxin Hou was demoted to Donghai County by the first king, and now he will be rewarded, won't it damage the majesty of the first king?" ”
Dongling Rui frowned, feeling that his father's words were not right, but he had always respected his father, so naturally he wouldn't say much, so he could only say: "Yes, Erchen didn't expect this, and let his father down." ”
Emperor Guangshi waved his hand: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, I see that An Xueling is not a safe person, you send someone to keep an eye on her, if she has any abnormal movements, come to report immediately, if necessary, kill without mercy!" ”
"What? Kill? Dongling Rui was taken aback, "Father, this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, now the people of Donghai County think that An Xueling is a living Bodhisattva, if you kill her at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse public resentment!" ”
How could his father have such a deep prejudice against An Xueling, in vain he still wanted to show his father and marry her as a concubine, now it seems that he is thinking too simply.
Emperor Guangshi's eyes were cold: "Lone just can't tolerate An Xueling to bewitch the people's hearts, if you should kill it, you have to kill it, Rui'er, for the king, you have to kill decisively, if you are so merciful, it's not a good thing, you know?" ”
Tanglin Rui's mouth opened, and his words became docile: "Yes, Erchen understands, thank you for your father's teachings." ”
An Xueling went out of the palace all the way, and her ears were not idle, she listened to the words of Emperor Guangshi and Donglin Rui clearly, and silently greeted the ancestors of Emperor Guangshi, and she was really grateful to Donglin Rui.
I had expected that Emperor Guangshi would not be grateful to him, but he had a murderous intention to himself so quickly, but it was still unexpected by himself, it seems that he should take precautions as soon as possible, and don't really wipe his neck.
When she returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already slightly dark, and as soon as An Xueling returned to Xiangyang Courtyard, Zhuo called her into the house and said angrily: "Xueling, you are really like a god, let Liang's mother and them keep an eye on the people in the other courtyard, and now something really happened." ”
"Who is it?" An Xueling asked without surprise.
Originally, she heard the conversation between Zhao and the others, and knew that they were targeting their mother, and they must be poisoned, so she asked Liang's mother and them to keep an eye on outsiders to prevent them from doing anything.
After all, although she can listen to the sounds of heaven and earth, she can't hear every sound clearly, just like the radio, if she receives too many signals and too many miscellaneous, but can't hear clearly, she can only focus on a certain direction, or a certain group of people, etc., in the end there are still some limitations.
Otherwise, if she really heard all the voices clearly and clearly at all times, I am afraid that even the gods would have to bow down in front of her.
"It's the lotus heart." Zhuo Shi pointed to the bowl of ginseng soup on the table, "This is what she brought over, before that, Mother Liang quietly told me that I saw the lotus heart mixed with something, I just tried it with the medicinal powder you gave, it is poisonous." ”
"What about the others?" Although An Xueling had taken precautions earlier, she still broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and her eyes were already full of murderous energy.
