Chapter 806: Wolf Smoke Closes at the Border
Hong Huomiao answered the emperor's question very simply: "The emperor can take the initiative to communicate with him, first, to let him understand that the emperor trusts him, and second, to let him know that now his status has changed and he has to adapt to his new role." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Zi is a smart person and will understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. ”
"I know how to do it. Although the emperor is not the smartest, he is still sensible, and through the inspiration of the red flame, his heart knot was opened, and he also knew how to handle a good relationship with Zhang Zi.
Honghuomiao saw that the emperor had already opened his mind, so she began to talk about the purpose of her trip, and corrected the emperor's rebellion and expansion.
In view of the emperor's identity, Honghuomiao can't talk to the emperor too casually now, he must be polite, tactful, and carefully consider every word: "The emperor has all kinds of opportunities, and I take the liberty to disturb it, and it is a last resort." ”
The emperor has always been grateful to the red flames, and he suddenly became polite to the red flames, and seemed to be a little unaccustomed: "Red Fairy Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it, and I will definitely do it." ”
Honghuomiao smiled and said, "The emperor said that it was wrong. I'm just giving you a piece of advice, or a reminder. How the emperor acts, I will not intervene, and I am not allowed to intervene. ”
"I understand. "The emperor knows the rules of the fox fairy and is not allowed to interfere in earthly affairs.
Honghuomiao has to praise the emperor a few words: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has loved the people like a son and has done a lot of good things for the people. These things were seen by the dusters, and the fox fairy also recorded them. ”
The emperor felt comfortable for a while, knowing that Honghuomiao's words were just a prelude to criticizing himself, so he quickly made his words clear: "What Red Fairy Gu said is what I should do." I still hope that the Red Fairy Gu will point out the shortcomings and mistakes I have done, so that I can correct them. ”
If the emperor doesn't say so, Honghuo Miao won't save him, or he will come for nothing, his tone is still very polite, but he is also outspoken: "After our observation, the emperor's biggest mistake now is to expand the counter-conspiracy, which is very dangerous." ”
The emperor was not disgusted by Hong Huomiao's words, and said frankly: "You are very right. Ever since I ascended the throne, my biggest fear has been rebellion. I also feel uneasy about this matter, and I often feel that my eyes are staring at my dragon chair. ”
Hong Huomiao could understand the emperor's feelings, and said with a pleasant face: "The escape of the three kings is indeed a hidden danger, and it is certain that he will not die down, and he will be ready to move at the first opportunity." Paying attention to this force and nipping it in the bud is certainly the best policy. ”
The emperor echoed Honghuomiao's words and said: "I think so too, so I will intensify the investigation." ”
Honghuomiao shook his head and disapproved of the emperor's approach: "But the emperor sent detectives everywhere to investigate, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
The emperor didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him doing this, and said very truthfully: "So far, there are only achievements, and there are no adverse consequences." ”
Hong Huomiao said bitterly: "Your Majesty, how many people want to rebel? As long as they can survive, they will not risk the crime of killing their heads to rebel." The rebellion of the dust people is not so much to blame the dust people for being bad, but to say that the king does not sleep. ”
Honghuomiao's words are a bit heavy, but she is not a mortal, and she is not afraid of the emperor's retaliation, and besides, this is also the purpose of her coming, so she can only spit it out: "In the world, only officials force the people to rebel, and no dust people commit chaos for no reason." As long as the king thinks about the people and lets them live and work in peace, why should they take risks?"
Hong Huomiao knew that the emperor was not very happy now, but he still said: "Your Majesty, you sent detectives everywhere to investigate the rebellion, do you know what these detectives have done in the world?"
The emperor is indeed not very happy, since he ascended the throne, no one has taught him the same as Xun Sun Tzu, and replied lazily to Honghuomiao's question: "What else can you do? ”
Red Flame denied, "No. They pull up big banners as tiger skins and extort money everywhere. As long as their desires are not satisfied, they will be labeled as rebels, causing many dusty people's families to be ruined. How many of these things do you know, Your Majesty?"
The emperor was surprised when he heard Honghuomiao's questioning, and asked suspiciously, "Is there really such a thing?"
Hong Huomiao said unceremoniously: "I have an intelligence network in the eighteen counties of the earthly world, and they have reported these things to me. Originally, I wanted to sort out and report to the emperor, but today I happened to discuss with the emperor, so I will say it by the way. ”
The emperor said uneasily: "Red Fairy Gu, I really don't know these things. Then he said hatefully: "I will bring them back at once and send trustworthy people again." ”
Hearing the emperor's obsessive words, Hong Huomiao was really speechless, so he had to persuade bitterly: "Your Majesty, why haven't you understood yet? The key to the problem is not who you send, but that your thinking needs to change, otherwise it will really provoke a popular uprising." If that happens, you're going to be in a killing spree. Then you may go from a wise monarch to a demon king. ”
Seeing that the emperor was speechless, Hong Huomiao continued to deduce the result: "Once the dust people ascend to the throne, their identities will change immediately, that is, they will have immortal books, and they will become immortals after the death of immortals." However, this pattern is not fixed and will change. ”
The emperor was very concerned about this variable, because it was related to him, and asked, "What has changed?"
The red flame replied, "When the king is in power, he will become an immortal if he does the way of benevolence, even if he has some mistakes." If there is tyranny and killing during his reign, the people will not be able to make a living. The Star Realm will revoke his immortal status and let him enter the Ghost Court and suffer from the eighteen layers of hell. ”
Seeing that the emperor was a little timid, Hong Huomiao continued: "It's all because the emperor had a relationship with the fox fairy when he was a mortal, and the fox fairy immortal didn't want to see the emperor go to hell, so I came to persuade the emperor to quickly turn back and re-practice benevolent government." ”
The reminder of the red flame is really like an initiation, so that the emperor completely woke up, gave the red flame a salute, and said sincerely: "How I go in the future, please make it clear to the fairy girl." ”
When Hong Huomiao saw the emperor's attitude, he said from the bottom of his heart: "Withdraw the counter-plot and anti-detective, believe in the minister, and return to the minister." Use benevolence to prevent rebellion, and let benevolence influence those who disagree. ”
The emperor nodded in approval and asked, "Huang San's rebellion is not being investigated?"
Hong Huomiao said: "I met with the emperor today, and Huang San's rebellion is also an important topic. ”
The emperor wanted to know what the relationship between Hong Huomiao and Huang San was: "In this matter, I also want to hear the thoughts of the Red Fairy Gu." ”
Hong Huomiao first explained Huang San's origin and his relationship with Huang San to the emperor clearly, and then told the emperor about the gold medal and silver that had just happened.
Hearing Hong Huomiao's introduction, the emperor was also suspicious of Huang San's rebellion: "Judging from the situation that Hong Xiangu has mastered, Huang San's rebellion does not seem to be established?"
Hong Huomiao replied: "Although there is no evidence to deny Huang San's rebellion, there is not enough evidence to show that Huang San participated in the rebellion. ”
When the emperor heard Honghuo Miao say this, he discussed with Honghuo Miao: "Red Fairy Gu, since there is no evidence that Huang San rebelled, and he is the younger brother of Emperor Zhongtian Zodiac, let's let him go first." ”
Hong Huomiao denied: "Don't let Huang San go yet." ”
The emperor really didn't understand Honghuomiao's thoughts, and just now he persuaded him to practice benevolent government, but he would not let him go: "Why is this?"
Hong Huomiao said: "Although the matter of Huang San's rebellion has not been clarified, I am sure that there is the shadow of the three kings in it. With this relationship, you can't let go of Huang San in a vague way. Things have to be cleared up so that he can return to the dust with a clean slate. ”
The emperor praised the practice of the red flame: "I understand." ”
Red Flame continued: "If you don't release Huang San now, there is another purpose, and that is to protect Huang San. ”
"Protect Huang San?" the emperor asked puzzledly, "Is there someone who wants to harm Huang San." ”
Hong Huomiao replied: "Huang San's failure to participate in the rebellion does not mean that he knows nothing, just because he may be aware of the hidden secret, so he is silent about the rebellion." ”
The emperor finally got his senses, nodded and said, "It makes sense." ”
Red Flame continued: "This situation has taken him out of prison, and he must find the victim to theorize." Since the other party wants to frame him, of course he will not cherish his life, and it is very likely that he will be harmed. ”
The emperor had no idea now, so he had to ask Hong Huomiao: "According to the meaning of the red fairy girl, what should I do?"
Honghuomiao said: "Please give an edict to Li Yaoting of Qinglongdong County, and strictly order him to protect Huang San and treat Huang San's family well." If you make a mistake, you will pay for his life. ”
"Good. After a while, I will send a holy decree to Li Yaoting. The emperor readily agreed to Honghuomiao's request.
Just as the emperor was about to ask what Honghuomiao's next move was, there was a knock on the door, and the queen said eagerly outside: "Your Majesty, the border pass urgently reports the emergency military situation." Do you want them to come in?"
The emperor was talking to Honghuomiao about his happiness, and he was very unhappy when he was disturbed by the queen, and he just wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Honghuomiao: "Your Majesty, the military situation is important." Listen to the military situation first, and then let's chat. ”
The emperor suddenly woke up from his dream and shouted outside: "Let them see them." ”
When the queen heard the emperor's order, she hurriedly pushed open the door, and a military envoy rushed in, and then Zhang Zi and the ministers also walked in.
The military envoy knelt down to the emperor and began to report: "Report to the emperor, the kingdom of heaven suddenly invaded the border, and the border army could not resist it, so they could only fight and retreat." The Heavenly Army had advanced for three hundred miles, and General Bian Guan asked the imperial court to send troops to the rescue. ”
When the emperor heard that there was a war on the border, he hurriedly took the battle report and said: "Your Majesty, under the banner of the restoration of the three kings, the kingdom of heaven has suddenly rushed across the border with an army of 100,000 and is attacking the capital. Humble and incompetent, he failed to stop the enemy army, so he asked the emperor to send reinforcements quickly. ”
After reading the battle report, the emperor didn't speak for a long time, looked at Zhang Zi and other ministers and said, "You all go to the guest room to wait for the order, I want to think about it." "When the emperor said this, he just wanted to hear the opinion of the red flames.
When the emperor was left in the room, he began to settle down again to meet the red flames.
Seeing the red flame appear, the emperor asked, "Red Fairy Gu, you heard the emergency report at the border gate." What do you think about this?"
Although Honghuo Miao thought that the three kings would definitely take action, he didn't expect the three kings to collude with the Heavenly Kingdom to invade the Immortal Court, and said angrily: "This kind of thing that betrays the ancestors actually colludes with foreign races to harm compatriots, it really deserves death." ”
