Chapter 282: Iron and Bone
Longqi Bay is adjacent to the sea, and the sea breeze blows very comfortably after nightfall.
The sound of the waves not far away is just right, not at all noisy and harsh, and it is easy to make people feel calm.
After dinner, Ah Yue sat on the beach, quietly looking at the south, dotted with stars on the endless sea level, this scenery he could never get enough of.
"What do you think?"
Ah Qing walked over at this time and sat down next to him.
"It's nothing, I just think it's nice here, and I want to be like this for the rest of my life." Ah Yue replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing this, Ah Qing showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"You can always do this."
Ah Yue's smile became even thicker, and he grinned:
"Also, what else can someone like me do? I am already very happy to fish and teach every day. ”
With that, he turned his head and looked at the woman beside him.
Ah Qing was stared at by the other party tightly, only to feel that her cheeks were hot, and she subconsciously lowered her head, a gust of sea breeze blew, and a strand of hair danced with the wind.
The man subconsciously stretched out his hand and gently helped the other party smooth his hair, although the woman was a little nervous, she didn't dodge, and let the man help her brush her hair behind her ears.
Seeing the woman's shy appearance, the man suddenly lost his mind for a moment, and a vague figure appeared in his mind.
"What's wrong?"
A soft voice came from beside him.
"Nothing."
Ah Yue smiled and shook his head, and then looked at the sea again.
This was not the first time he had suffered from hysteria, he was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, but when he woke up, he remembered nothing.
Maybe it's because of too many nightmares, he always feels that he seems to have something to do, but he can't think of a reason after thinking about it, and finally he heard from a doctor in the city that this is called hysteria, which can be serious or light, and he was afraid that A-Qing would worry, so he never dared to tell her.
While the man turned his head to look at the sea, the woman turned her face sideways and quietly looked at him, how much she hoped that this moment could be forever, but, is it really possible?
The woman's expression was calm, but her eyes were full of complexity. One day, he will remember everything, and at that time, will he choose to leave himself and become the unattainable prince, or continue to stay in this small village and be a carefree Ah Yue.
……
Seeing that the woman next to him stopped talking, Ah Yue took the initiative to speak:
"Now the world outside is chaotic, I heard people who have been to the provincial capital say that the city is posting imperial lists everywhere to arrest people, it is said that what is the remnant of filial piety."
“……”
The woman remained silent, and the man continued:
"The grandma in the west of the village gave me two eggs today, saying that she was grateful to me for teaching her little grandson to read, and I forgot to take them in the school, so I will bring them back to you in ......"
The man stopped talking at this point, because he saw that the woman was in tears, and just when he was not sure whether the woman wanted to swallow two eggs alone, the woman suddenly asked:
"Ah Yue, will you leave me?"
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he said categorically:
"No!"
"Not in a lifetime?"
"As long as you don't get annoyed, you won't for the rest of your life." The man's expression was more serious than ever.
The woman laughed when she heard this, "You have to give me those two eggs." ”
"Okay, it's all for you!"
……
In the early dynasty, the emperor of the Wang family threw a heavy book at the foot of the steps, and then angrily reprimanded the officials who knelt on the ground:
"Chen Jingye, are you tired of living?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know what is wrong."
The historian in the red official robe at the foot of the steps was almost on the ground, but his words were neither humble nor arrogant.
"Isn't it wrong that you wrote me as a rebel and a thief?"
"Back to Your Majesty, what the historian has to do is to write a book, and the minister is just performing the duties of the minister."
Wang Zhide's face was pale, although he didn't care about infamy, but he didn't want to leave a stench for 10,000 years, so he said:
"I'll give you another chance, I've changed it."
"Forgive the ministers for being stupid, I don't know where to change, please make it clear to Your Majesty."
"Shhh
As soon as the historian said this, there was a gasp in the court, some people admired his uprightness, and some people slandered him for not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Wang Shande's face became even more ugly, and he said coldly:
"Come on, drag Chen Jingye out of the noon gate and behead him."
"Your Majesty, by all means!" An old minister hurriedly stood up and said.
"Why not?" Wang Zhide frowned.
"Your Majesty, Enke is coming, all the scholars in the world are watching the movement of the capital, if Your Majesty kills Lord Chen at this time, it will inevitably chill the hearts of scholars all over the world, and maybe it will cause a large number of boycotts, and the gains will outweigh the losses."
Although the old minister did not say it explicitly, the implication could not be more obvious.
The historian was beheaded for truthfully recording historical facts, and Wang Zhide naturally became a faint monarch, such a mediocre emperor, which scholar dared to work for him?
Even if some people are reluctant to boycott the exam, eighty percent are also sleek people with low morale, which is completely contrary to his willingness to recruit wise men in the first place.
Wang Zhide knew what was at stake, so he waved his hand and said:
"Let's do this first, Sanchao!"
When the Son of Heaven left, the old minister who pleaded with words came to Chen Jingye's side and whispered:
"Lord Chen, you are confused!"
……
After Wang Zhide returned to the imperial study, he could not calm down for a long time, and several times picked up the brush, wanting to write a holy decree that wanted people's heads.
At this moment, Nie Yingxue pushed open the door and walked in.
"I've heard everything."
Nie Yingxue shook the lotus step lightly, came to the back of Wang Shande, and rubbed his shoulders for him.
"What do you think?" Wang Zhide closed his eyes and asked.
Nie Yingxue said calmly:
"Chen Jingye not only can't be killed, but also wants a reward."
Wang Zhide opened his eyes when he heard this, "He made it clear that I can't get off the stage, and I want to reward him, so will anyone take me as the emperor seriously in the future?" ”
Nie Yingxue said softly:
"If you kill him, someone will take you seriously? In their eyes, you will always be a rebellious minister, you can stop Chen Jingye's mouth, but you can't stop the people of the world.
Now that Enke is imminent, your Yubi Zhu has approved his capital crime, which is tantamount to breaking the backbone of the people in the world, who will dare to admonish him in the future? It must be known that the death of Wenchen is far more useful than that of Wuchen's death battle. ”
Wang Shande closed his eyes again, "It's me who is narrow-sighted. ”
Nie Yingxue smiled slightly and continued:
"In my opinion, Chen Jingye's case is not only not a problem, but an opportunity.
Scholars have studied hard for ten years, just for fame and fortune, but no one wants to be a corrupt official from the beginning, and many people are blackened by this dye vat after entering the officialdom.
You can take advantage of this Enke to scrape off the old dirt on the wall of the cylinder, so that the world's scholars can see your determination, and then you will be willing to work hard for you and achieve revenge in your chest. ”
"In this case, you are more suitable to be the emperor than I am." Wang Shande made a rare joke.
Nie Yingxue shook her head with a smile, "Fighting the world and guarding the world are your men's business, I just need to help you take care of the 'harem'." ”
She deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "harem", which made the new emperor smile bitterly.
No matter how smart a woman is, she is still a woman after all.
"In the future, you will be the only one in my harem."
Feeling the strength of his shoulders and hands, Wang Zhide had to make a guarantee.
"The concubine thanked Your Majesty."
The woman's smile was like a flower, and the strength at hand returned to normal.

------Off topic------
I'm sorry everyone, I'll take a day off tomorrow.
As you must have seen, the update has been slow in recent days.
I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive, and sometimes I change one place over and over again, and that's probably how I don't get the manuscript saved.
Tomorrow, I will write a little manuscript when I ask for leave, and I guess it will last a few days.
I can take two days off a month, forgive me.
