Xiao Shifeng understood Tang Xiaoxiao's meaning, but he wanted to ask clearly: "You have followed Tang Ao since you were a child, you should have been exposed to it, why are you so sensitive?"

Tang Xiaoxiao himself is familiar with people, once he is born and twice is familiar, he has already met Xiao Shifeng once before, and after talking about it two times this time, he let go: "Actually, you don't know, my father is also one set in front of people and one set in the back." During the Hongyuan period, his ability was very popular. But in the peaceful years, the world was stable, and there were fewer corrupt officials, and my father often worried about his livelihood. Daddy often said that the corrupt officials in the past stole one by one, but now it is different, and if it is not very good, it will be stolen to the home of the hero of the uprising, which is a great injustice. ”

Xiao Shifeng was in a very comfortable mood when he heard it: "There is a saying in the rivers and lakes, and there is a way to steal, it seems to be really good." ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Shifeng wanted to embarrass Tang Xiaoxiao again, so he asked: "But I have heard that the King of Thieves and the Thief Saint are equally famous, but the King of Thieves is not worthy of his name." This thief brother used to rob the rich and help the poor, and he can be called a chivalrous man, and the king of thieves, who eats and drinks well all his life, often steals himself, fails to help others, is selfish, or a true thief. “

Tang Xiaoxiao listened to Xiao Shifeng's words belittling Tang Ao, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't know the truth, don't judge indiscriminately." “

"Oh?" Xiao Shifeng felt more and more interesting: "You can tell me about it, this is the comparison of most of the Jianghu martial arts, but I am not the one who has the final say." ”

Tang Xiaoxiao said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, my father borrows wine all the year round to kill his sorrows, and he also laments that the people's livelihood is withering and his luck is not good." He often told me that during the Hongyuan period, the common people were suffering, and if he stole gold and silver from these people, it would be a pile of waste stones to them. Not to mention that these gold and silver cannot be exchanged for food, if the neighbors know about it, there will be cannibalism, not to mention that if the officers and soldiers know about it, it will be a disaster of robbery and killing gods. So my father didn't give alms again, he went to a better restaurant to eat and drink, and always dressed himself up, not so much that he was good at wine and delicious, but that he had been numbing himself. In the troubled times, he can only be alone. ”

After saying something, Xiao Shifeng felt that it made sense, so he asked Xiang Yi Wentong: "Tang Ao's thoughts are the opposite of yours, do you see one charity and one charity, and now you think you are doing well, or is he doing well?"

Yi Wendao: "I understand Tang Ao, but I don't have the slightest doubt about what I did. If a generous charity can save even a single life, it will be worth it. “

Xiao Shifeng nodded with satisfaction, and said to Tang Xiaoxiao: "Little girl, my vision is not vulgar yet. In fact, there are still many kind and ambitious people in this world, but it depends on what era it is. In a good era, ordinary people can also earn family property, and in a bad era, those who have the ability may not be able to eat. The key to this lies in the imperial court of that era, up and down, which was very critical. Now I am the Son of Heaven, and the key to the quality of the people in this world is in me. “

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded stunnedly, he felt that Xiao Shifeng's words were very responsible.

Xiao Shifeng changed his words, and then said: "Since the uprising, I have been strict in governing the army, honest in politics, and worthy of asking myself. However, the relationship between the imperial court and the Jianghu martial arts has not been handled well. I have sincerity, absorb people with lofty ideals in the rivers and lakes to enter the court as officials, or make a marquis on the spot to benefit one party. But there are very few people who comply, and this makes me very puzzled. “

Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled and explained: "Your Majesty should know that people in the Jianghu martial arts do not need to worry about their own status, food and clothing. Entering the court as an official depends entirely on personal will, and cannot be forced. In the temple, it is better to be at ease in the grass. ”

Xiao Shifeng won't be unaware of this kind of explanation, but if everyone is this kind of explanation, then Xiao Shifeng will wonder if it's his own problem.

He turned his head to look at Tang Xiaoxiao and asked, "If after the world is stable, I let you and your senior brothers enter the court as officials, are you willing?"

Tang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't care, but Your Majesty, if I am the only one who is willing to go, then I will not go." ”

Xiao Shifeng frowned: "You girl, it's too contradictory." ”

Tang Xiaoxiao said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, it is a very bad experience to be alone in a strange and serious environment. Life is very short, and it is best to achieve something, but if you can't find something happy, then being free can make you happy. ”

Xiao Shifeng smiled bitterly: "Be free, out of sight and out of mind, it's so boring after a long time." ”

Tang Xiaoxiao said: "Otherwise, sometimes if you see too much, you will have more troubles in your heart." ”

Xiao Shifeng sighed and said: "I know that the world in the first twenty years, although it is called a peaceful and prosperous era, it is inevitable that some small places, some low-level ordinary people still can't enjoy the blessings of this prosperous era. If the people who can make a difference and benefit one side in the world think like you, first seek their own pleasure, and then think about other things, then these ordinary people will never have a bright day. ”

Tang Xiaoxiao was a little surprised when he heard this: "Your Majesty, most people are still doing well now. ”

Xiao Shifeng said lightly: "I am the Son of Heaven, I can see it clearly." You only see the superficial prosperity, but it is often easier to ignore the poverty of a small group of people in the mountains and fields. I open my doors to people with lofty ideals in the world, but very few of them recommend themselves, in the final analysis, they are still selfish people. ”

Tang Xiaoxiao said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, those famous and decent families in the rivers and lakes, although they are not in the imperial court, but there are also those who act chivalrous and maintain law and order. ”

Xiao Shifeng retorted: "The Jianghu sect mostly takes martial arts study as its own responsibility, and it is intentional to act chivalrous and righteous, but it can't do it all the time. If you are an official in the court, it is the opposite. The older generation, I can't convince them, but you, the younger generation, if I want to try to persuade you, how can I not serve the court with martial arts?"

Xiao Shifeng's words were full of the air of a king, and Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to refute it for a while. Xiao Shifeng spit out his remarks as quickly as possible, and almost lost his sense of proportion in front of Tang Xiaoxiao, a little girl, he also noticed this, and turned his head to look ahead again.

Xiao Shifeng asked, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Tang Xiaoxiao hesitated, Xiao Shifeng frowned and said, "But it's okay to say it, I won't blame you." ”

Tang Xiaoxiao said: "From Your Majesty's point of view, Your Majesty's remarks are for the common people in the world, and there is nothing wrong with them." ”

Xiao Shifeng was curious: "What about from your point of view?"

Tang Xiaoxiao replied: "Maybe this is the difference between us and Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Shifeng closed his eyes: "That's right, if I impose this idea on you, it will be selfish." ”
