Chapter 190: Equality
"So you joined the Eagle Guard to ...... Hoeing the strong and helping the weak? After listening to Shen Guiyi's narration, Ye Qianhuai asked hesitantly.
She would never have thought that in Tao Yuan's portrayal of Shen Guiyi, the eagle guard, a secretive, dangerous, and even blood-stained intelligence agency, was actually an existence similar to a messenger of justice.
Shen Guiyi shook his head: "That kind of thing can only be done by a capable person like Commander Tao." The slave joined the Eagle Guard, but she didn't want to be a mermaid anymore but was powerless to resist. Although it is not possible to say that the hoe is strong and helps the weak, but now the slave and maid at least have the ability to protect themselves. ”
She raised her right hand and turned her wrist, and the light pink cuffs swayed softly, looking harmless to humans and animals.
But Ye Qianhuai knew that there was a short, concise but hair-cutting sleeve sword in it.
"Of course, if one day the slave can be as powerful as Commander Tao, he will definitely use his own strength to help others, so that there will be less 'Wang Siyun' in this world."
Ye Tianhuai did not speak.
Whether it is Tao Yuan or Eagle Guard, they are all hero-like existences in Shen Guiyi's eyes, and she yearns for them, so she joined Eagle Guard. Although this was far from what Ye Tianhuai knew, she felt that it would be good for her to believe it like this.
The two were silent for a while, and Ye Qianhuai asked an irrelevant question: "Do you hate me?" ”
Shen Guiyi was a little surprised: "Why did Your Majesty ask that?" ”
"Not only did I not dispose of Gu Haiwang, but I also crowned him as a general."
Shen Guiyi quickly shook his head.
"Commander Tao and the slave maid said that Your Majesty is jealous and hateful, and never tolerates adultery, and does not deal with him because Your Majesty has no way to deal with him now." She paused, smiled slowly at Ye Qianhuai, and said, "Moreover, after the slave maid entered the palace, she found that His Majesty was a good and approachable emperor. ”
Looking at Shen Guiyi's strange smile, Ye Qian was puzzled: "Approachable? ”
She has heard others say that most of her comments are tyrannical and irritable, but she didn't expect that there are still people who have such an evaluation of her as "approachable".
"The slave maid has seen many nobles in Beijing in the cloth village before, and they are all condescending and commanding people, and they are eager to look at people with their nostrils. His Majesty is obviously much more noble than them, but he does not have such a domineering posture at all. The palace people also said that His Majesty has been kind to people since he was still a prince, and he will thank even the slaves. The slave maid also heard that when His Majesty first ascended the throne, he also improved the treatment of the four divisions and eight bureaus, not only that, but His Majesty also personally went to check on them several times, and never disliked their lowly pickles. ”
When Ye Tianhuai lived with several princes in Qianxi Palace when he was a child, he was famous for his deviance in the palace. In class, she questioned the principle of divine authority of the monarch taught by her husband, interceded for the minions who made mistakes in the palace, and for a while she always ran to Yongxiang, where the slaves were imprisoned. Therefore, she was reprimanded by the first emperor, saying that she had lost all the royal face, and several other princes also ridiculed her several times and despised her for being with her.
Thinking of the past in his childhood, Ye Tianhuai smiled and said: "I have been influenced by Li Mu's writings since I was a child, believe in Taixue, and believe that all people are equal. So the style of doing things may be a little different from other people. ”
Although Shen Guiyi had never heard of "Taixue" and "Li Mu", she could understand the concept of "all men are created equal", which she rarely heard, and couldn't help asking: "Why does Your Majesty believe in this?" ”
As an emperor sitting at the pinnacle of power, it is indeed inconceivable that he is a few levels higher than everyone else, but he wants to talk about "equality" with others.
Ye Tianhuai seemed to think of something from the past, and an expression of remembrance and regret appeared on her face, making her stunned.
After a while, she sighed softly and said, "It's a long story. If you have to go back to the roots, maybe it's because my mother also believes in Thai learning. ”
Empress Jingmin treats people generously and is also well-known in the palace. It is precisely because of this that she will have loyal servants like Aunt Fanghua and Zhou Shouyi, even if she is willing to bear the crime of deceiving the king by replacing the princess with the princess, even after her death, she still abides by her oath.
Ye Qianhuai sometimes felt that their loyalty to the Empress Dowager Jingmin was not so much out of friendship between master and servant, but out of gratitude.
Because Empress Dowager Jingmin is the only master in this indifferent and ruthless deep palace who treats them as human beings.
In the eyes of other masters, they are like the willow trees on the side of the road and the gonggong bucket that gets up at night, but they are just pleasing playthings and tools that are used and thrown away.
"Your Majesty is ...... now Do you still think so? I feel that all men are created equal. Shen Guiyi asked hesitantly.
Ye Tianhuai thought for a while and replied, "Yes." At least in terms of personality, everyone should be equal. Just like you and me, although my status is higher than yours, you also have things worth admiring and learning from me, such as your will, and your martial arts. I remember, but I was your man. ”
When it came to this, Shen Guiyi was a little surprised.
"If you talk about martial arts...... Your Majesty's kung fu is actually above the slave maid. That day, the slave maid just won by luck. Shen Guiyi said.
Recalling that day's competition, Ye Tianhuai also remembered something: "How did you see through the false trick of 'silver dragon tail swinging' that day?" ”
"It turns out that the trick is called 'Silver Dragon Tail Swing', which is really a nice name. The slave maid had seen that trick before, and it was very amazing when she saw it for the first time, so when His Majesty used it that day, the slave maid immediately remembered it, and knew that the sword was a false move, and the real killing move was the flying kick behind the sword. Shen Guiyi replied.
Just when Ye Tianhuai was surprised and puzzled, she asked again: "Did Your Majesty learn this trick from General Lu Yanchen and General Lu to swing the tail of the silver dragon?" ”
Ye Qianhuai understood: "Yes." Have you ever seen him pull this trick? ”
Shen Guiyi nodded: "It's just that General Lu uses a knife, although his knife is a false move, if you don't avoid it, you will be injured." The slave had seen him in Yunju, and he used this trick to kick the enemy off his horse. ”
Shen Guiyi's tone couldn't hide a bit of admiration.
It's also true, almost all the people who have seen Lu Yanchen's kung fu are impressed.
"Have you been ordered to spy on him?"
Shen Guiyi nodded. Before leaving, she was asked by Tao Yuan to secretly monitor Lu Yanchen's movements and assist him in rescuing Gu Haiwang.
"He's in the army...... What do you think? ”
Shen Guiyi was stunned, not knowing what the "how" the emperor asked was.
After thinking about it, she said: "General Lu is in good health, he gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and he has never violated military regulations and military orders. Not only is he very brave in killing the enemy before the battle, but he also gets along well with his colleagues in the army. ”
After saying the good words, Shen Guiyi changed his words and said: "If there is anything suspicious about General Lu, it is that he has been paying attention to the customs and customs of various places along the road, asking the local people about people's livelihood and taxes, road conditions and hydrology, and often recording it late at night, it is likely that he is recording this information." ”
