Chapter 272: The Feud Between the Two Kings (I)
After listening to the hustle and bustle of the lord Li Zhongxing, King Liang above the court no longer has the arrogance of the past. Everything seemed to be boring and decadent to King Liang at this time.
With a low old face that instantly looked haggard and yellow, he glanced resentfully at the King of Heyang, who was standing side by side with him, and then at the lord Li Zhongxing, who was sitting on the high hall, and slowly thanked him for a long time. "Minister, thank you Lord Longen! Minister, although he is smeared, he does not dare to repay the grace of the country! After that, he turned his head and glanced at King Heyang again, and said in a hurried and resentful tone. Thank you King Heyang, who is loyal and courageous, upright, this is a blessing for the country! Xiao Wang is ashamed of himself, he has the grace of heaven, and he also asks the king of Heyang to give more advice in the future. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, my nephew will have to learn more from the imperial uncle in the future, I hope the imperial uncle will give him advice, and the little nephew is grateful." King Heyang immediately turned around and apologized repeatedly, as if he didn't know that at this moment, in the bottom of King Liang's heart and eyes, countless waves of hatred and anger had arisen, and he almost wanted to beat him and crush him into powder with a hammer.
"Ha, ha, King Liang, who has always been proud of his talents, also has times when he bows his head to others and admits his mistakes, rare, rare, King Liang, you really make me treat me differently." Without waiting for King Liang to finish his words, Li Zhongxing, the lord of the country above the high hall, had already spoken himself. In this way, King Liang didn't go and didn't postpone the topic of the lord Li Zhongxing, so he had to laugh at himself with a bitter face.
"Lord, you are going to humiliate the dead minister. The minister was guilty of the improper referrer, and caused the country to lose 20,000 stone of grain and grass in vain, and dismantled 2 million taels of silver. This sin is enough for a lifetime of ministers, and how great is the sin of ministers! Now it is a great fortune to be able to get the grace of the lord of the country, not to mention that the lord of the country has the help of a courtier like the king of Heyang, who is honest and loyal, and the minister is not ashamed to die. ”
As soon as King Liang's words fell, Li Zhongxing, who was above the hall, laughed and shouted. "King Liang, as the saying goes, it's a good point. People are not sages and sages, and you can have the courage to admit your mistakes in the court, and it is naturally commendable to have such a light and humble act. I have sinned against you like this, but I am just giving you a wake-up call and a bell. It is nothing more than to let you know how to be diligent in government and love the people, and do not fish in the dry water. The foundation of all nations lies in the people! ”
"Whether you are the King of Liang, the King of Heyang, the civil and military officials above the court, or the surname Li Minmo outside the temple, in front of my world, you have to be subject to me and govern the world according to my will. Otherwise, destroying the law of the ancestors and leaving the court system behind is the enemy of the people of the world. ”
As soon as Li Zhongxing's words fell, the courtiers and officials above the court were also surprised, and they were completely stunned to look at Li Zhongxing, the lord of the country above the high hall. Like a fool's dumb horn, although there are many people, no one wants to jump out and say something at this time.
At this time, I only heard the king of Heyang stand up straight and salute. "The lord of the country is wise, and the world is governed, but that's it. Er Kuan is a traitor, and Er is strict and loyal. Leniency and severity, the way of civil and military, one by one. Only by eliminating evil can we last a long time. ”
King Liang's heart was shocked for a moment, and the corner of his eye stared at King Heyang with resentment. He pondered for a while, and inexplicably secretly hated. King Heyang, it turns out that you treat you, the best imperial uncle, so attentively? I have to let the blood of this king's little beauty be splashed on the spot. I hate you, I hate you!!
But King Liang thought about it for a while, and immediately replied with a salute. "Well, the lord of the country has learned a lesson, and the minister has taken it to heart. After that, the ministers will respectfully serve the lord of the country, conscientiously and diligently govern the people of the world, learn more from the king of Heyang, unite hundreds of officials, recruit talents, and live up to the favor of the country. ”
I didn't wait for King Liang's sycophants to slap loudly in the court, and I heard the lord of the country Li Zhongxing say above the high hall. "King Heyang, although you are my son, I also hope that you will always uphold this upright disposition, for the country, for the community, for the blessings, and all over the kindness. In the future, the inheritance of our ancestors may depend on you alone. ”
Hearing that the lord of the country suddenly introduced the topic to himself, King Heyang just wanted to pick up the conversation, but he heard King Liang next to him speak first. "The minister thinks that the lord of the country said it well, it is not easy to be a talented prince like King Heyang today, and he can be self-conscious, not arrogant or impatient, and he seems to be the dragon and phoenix among the people. If the lord of the country is to pass on the great weapon in the future, the ancestral inheritance will be prosperous and enduring. ”
After King Liang said this, all the civil and military officials in the hall spoke sincerely. "The lord of the country, what King Liang said is the words of great loyalty and kindness, and I hope that the lord of the country will be cautious and persevere. The ministers are stupid, and they dare not talk nonsense, and I hope that the lord of the country will make a decision as soon as possible! ”
The courtiers shouted like this, and at this time, Li Zhongxing, the lord of the country who was sitting on the high hall, did not have a word to speak, but he laughed mysteriously.
Everyone was stunned, completely shocked, including King Liang at this time, no one dared to speak lightly.
Looking at the scene in front of him that changed the topic for a while, what King Heyang didn't expect the most was that King Liang's words could actually grab everyone's hearts, and he also blindly welcomed the lord's praise for himself. suddenly woke up and said, wouldn't Zhongwen force himself to be on the cusp of the wind and waves when he pressed on such a slanderous word? What's the difference between that and adding fuel to the fire?
He pondered for a moment, then bowed. Thanks to the praise of the lord of the country and all the civil and military officials, Xiao Wang is really ashamed. How can Xiao Wang He De be so wrong to love the ranks, how can the major affairs of the country be coveted by Xiaoben, and the lord of the country should be in charge of everything. Xiao Wang just acted according to his orders and served the lord of the country. ”
King Heyang's general remarks made Li Zhongxing's laughter in the hall stop abruptly. "Ha, ha, Zhongqing's family, it's not wrong to see the prince of Heyang. You see how light and cautious he is, and if you say a joke that goes too far, he is so nervous. Alas, King Heyang, he is worthy of being a good emperor of mine. ”
King Heyang immediately took the opportunity to step down and said, "The court has such a wise monarch as the lord of the country, congratulations to the lord of the country for his grace and power like a spring breeze and rain, and the grass and trees contain dew, which will be the blessing of the ancestors' foundation and the blessing of the people of the world." "Anyway, bow deeply, and say." If the lord of the country has nothing else to do, the courtier will resign and leave. May the Lord grant it! ”
"Ouch, look, look, I'm glad I forgot everything else. If it weren't for the reminder of King Heyang, we would still be going around in circles here? That's it, that's it, what can the other ministers discuss, if there is nothing else to do, I will retreat. The lord Li Zhongxing pretended to be shocked and said, as if his apology was deliberately placed on the courtiers under the court.
Since the lord Li Zhongxing opened his mouth like this, all the courtiers had no dissent. After a few moments, the ministers above the court had slowly dispersed.
At this time, King Liang was bored walking on the avenue in the palace for a while, and from time to time his eyes looked around with anger at all these familiar scenes in the palace, and the breath in his chest rose and fell violently.
Suddenly, his foot slipped and slammed into a crack, and his whole body fell hard to the south. But at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly straightened up again and stood firmly on the root of his foot. However, in this way, a brocade jade embroidered black brocade shoe on King Liang's right foot had burst open.
King Liang was so angry that he stared at the cracked brocade jade embroidered shoes, and said angrily. "Hmph, when people are unlucky and repentant, they will even bump into ghosts when they walk. Could it be that my King Liang's luck today is so bad? Even a broken shoe came to bully me. As he spoke, he stared at the broken shoe again, and was so angry that he shook the torn shoe sideways, threw it on the side of the path, and walked forward without looking back.
Father-in-law An, who was waiting on the left and right, immediately caught up and said gloomily. "Lord Wang, this is the palace, not the wilderness. If you throw it off, I'm afraid that it will cause trouble again. The miscellaneous family still picked up the racecourse and took it out. ”
How could Gonggong An have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard King Liang shouting extremely sarcastically.
"Huh, the palace? You, a minion, also know that it's the palace. Since you know it's a palace, you can ignore it and let the broken shoes sit there. Whoever likes to make trouble let him come to this king, thinking that when this king was a child, he often played in these places and mischievous? Now that he is all in charge of Li Zhongxing alone, your emperor's world, why should he enjoy it alone, I can only obediently be his courtier. ”
After saying this, King Liang glanced around angrily again, and he looked like a waterfall jumping like thunder in front of Gonggong An and the others. When everyone saw this, they all remained silent for a while, and stood there quietly, motionless.
King Liang looked at the situation of these entourage, and suddenly stopped in the middle of it, and was so hateful that he just wanted to open his mouth to scold, but he heard Gonggong An laugh and said with a smile. "Lord, having said that, the relationship between monarchs and ministers has been like this since ancient times. The most ruthless and unrighteous in the world is the supreme relationship between kings and relatives, even fathers and sons have to follow. Otherwise, disaster is not far off. ”
King Liang looked at it coldly, and seemed to be very casual and contemptuous. "Father-in-law An, this king naturally knows. But this king just can't understand why the son, who is also the son of his father, must have a relationship between a monarch and a minister, and he can only submit to him forever if it takes effect for a while. This king is not convinced in his heart! Especially today in the court, the kid King of Heyang stepped on it hard, how to make this king swallow the hatred of taking his wife and killing his concubine! ”
Seeing that the people in front of him and Gonggong An didn't take care of him anymore, King Liang suddenly laughed and said. "Why, you're all scared. What if the king says now that one day I will change this stubborn situation? Are you all scared by the king's words? I tell you that this king has said this today. If any of you wants to take the king's head and take it, let him come, and the king will not be afraid of you. ”
When King Liang said this, he had a cold and ugly face, and he tried his best to be arrogant in front of everyone haha. "Well, if you talk and do things with people who are as cowardly as rats, greedy for life and afraid of death, won't you set yourself on fire, and it will be difficult to achieve great things."
