"Master, then according to what you mean, what should we do next?" asked Renshan, who naturally still believed Li Chengjie.

"His Majesty the Emperor wants to arrest the thief for the time being. Let's start with the current situation. Li Chengjie analyzed.

Mu Youzhi and Renshan all moved small benches and sat next to them and listened carefully.

"First of all, this order given to you by His Majesty the Emperor is to let you catch the thief in three days, and then unlock the closed mode in Kyoto. ”

"So, what is the result that Your Majesty wants?" asked Li Chengjie.

"Your Majesty probably doesn't care if you really catch the thief, but wants to smoothly unlock the blockade of Kyoto after three days, without letting the people speculate at will. Or to quell some of the unrest caused by the lockdown. Mu Youzhi returned to the road.

Li Chengjie is also very satisfied.

"That's right, Your Majesty wants the process of capturing the thief, but the final result is to unlock Kyoto. So we should take a good look at the will. That is, the external causes of the two questions raised by the master today. ”

"In other words, it doesn't matter if you catch the thief saint or not, the important thing is that when you unlock Kyoto, Your Majesty should give a reasonable explanation to the people of Kyoto, so that the people will be angry. For example, those few businessmen may have to lose several family businesses in the past three days, and the loss of money is uncountable, how can the royal family compensate for all of them?"

"This world is the world of the royal family, the world of the imperial court, but it is also the world of the people. Now that His Majesty has the people in his heart, he will naturally be loved by the people. The Imperial Family, or Imperial Court, had the right to seal off Kyoto, but after unlocking it, the Emperor had to issue an edict stating the cause and effect. And this reason must be carried out by the people in a cooperative manner. ”

"That is, in some things, the country before the family. And the idea of arresting the thief saint is extremely obscure. The people will wonder if something very important has been stolen from the palace and urgently needs to be recovered. ”

"What the hell is it? Isn't there nothing missing?" asked Mu Youzhi curiously.

"This thing is not about whether it is lost or not, but it gives the people of Kyoto a space for imagination, and they think that what items have been lost in the palace are worthy of the emperor's order to close Kyoto, and His Majesty is what has been lost. ”

"This should be regarded as an imperial mental technique. If you don't care about the people of the world, the city will be closed, and the city will be unsealed. These matters are entirely at the discretion of His Majesty, and he is not allowed to consult with anyone. But will you support such a Emperor's Majesty? Or in other words, His Majesty the Emperor feels a little weak about this lockdown... Because after all, there was no theft in the palace, not only did they have to steal the saint to bear the blame, but also because of some things that could not be explained, they had to close the city, which caused more or less harm to some families and people. ”

Li Chengjie said and sighed here.

"If it is really as the senior brother said, His Majesty the Emperor really has this intention, I think this lockdown is not incomprehensible, His Majesty the Emperor is also a human being, maybe his family can't find it. We can still report to the official, but His Majesty the Emperor is the biggest official, and he can only help himself to deal with the problems he encounters. Mu Youzhi also listened to the gods, and there was a deep hope in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor was the virtue in the mouth of the senior brother.

In Li Chengjie's analysis, only Renshan didn't say a word, and when he heard Mu Youzhi's sigh, Renshan felt a deep sense of guilt. He could solve the doubts of his brother and uncle, but he didn't know how to speak.

just said helplessly in the end, "Your Majesty also has Your Majesty's difficulties, and you should be considerate as a courtier." If not..."

Li Chengjie and Mu Youzhi naturally looked at Renshan's words and expressions in their eyes, and they didn't think much about it.

It's just that what the two of them just analyzed, it may make Renshan, the executor, feel that he has disturbed the people's livelihood a little because of obeying the royal order. After all, they caught seventeen people. A lot of them are...

"Actually, Your Majesty just wants an explanation, just give it to Your Majesty. Li Chengjie said with a smile.

"How?" said Renshan.

"Is it possible to grab one and hand it over?" Mu Youzhi also said a joke to ease the atmosphere.

But Renshan suddenly said very seriously, "No, how can you be casual, and how can the name of the thief be installed indiscriminately?"

"Let me ask you, the portrait of the thief saint I painted today, but everyone in Beijing knows it?"

"yes. Renshan nodded. He would rather receive the family law himself than wish for a good person.

"Then His Majesty the Emperor already knows?" Li Chengjie asked again.

"I already know. After Renshan replied, his eyes flashed.

"Master, what you mean is that the person in the portrait is a thief. Regardless of whether he is or not, His Majesty did not deny it when the master drew it, so this is an explanation that the people of the world want. At this time, Renshan was a little confused, and it was obvious that he still didn't understand it thoroughly.

"The man I painted wasn't completely without reason. What I can now conclude is that the person I painted was not a thief, but a disciple of the thief. ”

"So what?" asked Hitoyama, eager to know what his master could do to satisfy His Majesty and accept the people of Kyoto.

"So, let's sing a big play in front of Your Majesty and the people of Kyoto. If this big drama wants to make the people look at it, His Majesty will naturally be happy. After that, it's time to unlock Kyoto, and the big show is over. ”

"Singing?" Mu Youzhi said excitedly, isn't that what he still has to play. And it sounds a lot more interesting than catching the thief saint.

"Acting with Your Majesty?" Renshan muttered.

"If you sing it correctly and conform to Your Majesty's wishes, it will naturally be meritorious and without fault. Li Chengjie said.

"But, if the song is wrong, what if Your Majesty blames a bully?" Renshan felt that his master and uncle were really masters of art and bold, and he also told him that this was clearly telling me that he was acting, and he predicted that this drama might need His Majesty's cooperation...

"Apprentice, although you are honest, I think you should be able to think of some. Since you want to sing to the people of the world, then the protagonist must be the monarch of this world, and it must be Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not play the leading role, who dares to sing the drama of the people of the world in Kyoto?"

"Senior nephew, my senior brother's words are obvious, that is, when the time comes, you may need Your Majesty's cooperation, or Your Majesty's permission, and we can't afford to deceive the king. We are also worried about Your Majesty. ”

"But ?..." Renshan is still a little difficult to accept.

"You can rest assured that you will be a middleman and just pass the word. Senior brother, what do you say?" Mu Youzhi and Li Chengjie began to give people a trap very tacitly.

"Yes, yes, what the junior brother said is very right, just pass the word. If the script doesn't work, you can also let His Majesty see it first. Won't make it difficult for you to be an apprentice. Li Chengjie also patted Renshan's shoulder and signaled encouragement.

"Moreover, the teacher also promised that he would never ask what he shouldn't ask. If His Majesty the Emperor thinks that the script given by the teacher is not good, he can also revise it as appropriate, right? Everyone has a lot to discuss, so why worry about not succeeding in a big deal?" Li Chengjie seemed to stand on the highest point of justice, overlooking this mountain of people.

"Well, Senior Brother is right. What do you say, nephew? Mu Youzhi smiled slyly.

"Hmm. Renshan replied dumbly, and he obviously hadn't reacted yet.

"Well, that's such a happy decision! Go home and go to bed!"
