Volume 2 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 20 The Father is the Son, and the Son is the Father
"Holy Lord!", Li Zhongyi exclaimed, and crawled into the dormitory.
The emperor clutched his chest, his face stiffened, and his hand clutched the secret letter from the Qingying Mountain. Whispered: "Don't make a noise".
Looking around, a series of coughing sounds frightened the entire palace people.
The great eunuch Li Zhongyi helped him sit down, knelt on the side and didn't dare to come out.
"How dare he do this?", the emperor frowned, his voice was hoarse, and he lowered his head to ask Li Zhongyi, his voice as thin as a gossamer.
Li Zhongyi didn't know what was written on the letter, and a layer of fear was shrouded in his heart.
After a long time, I heard a few words in my ears: "You go, bring him back, don't tell anyone".
Li Zhongyi bowed his head and said "yes", got up and hurried out of the palace.
The emperor opened the letter again, but saw that there was a line of words on the paper that was particularly clear: "The Horn Mouth Garrison beheaded hundreds of officials and servants of Nanshan County, and ...... servants." My chest was tight, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
Li Zhongyi set off overnight, without even an entourage, and suddenly saw a streamer of light in the sky above the capital, heading towards the southwest.
In Yuelu Academy, a seal accumulated in front of Cao Pu like a hill, Cao Pu sighed secretly, hesitated whether to send these things to the capital, and opened one casually, writing all kinds of things such as "Zhou Bomin, the king of Anqing, led the army to massacre the officials of Nanshan Province with the intention of rebelling".
Cao Pu sweated profusely, thought for a long time, and threw all those bamboo slips into the fire and burned them.
Then hurriedly walked to Yuelu Academy.
Lin Changqing didn't sleep at all this night, and from time to time let out a long sigh and a short sigh from the room, just waiting for the emperor to announce that he had entered the palace, seeing the treetops on the moon, his heart was strange, and suddenly he heard the slave girl outside the door say: "Master, the saint announced that you have entered the palace." Hurried out of the room door and headed towards the palace.
"Master, prepare the carriage and horses."
Lin Changqing was still thinking about what to do, and the little boy behind him hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, prepare the carriage and horses."
Lin Changqing looked back, turned around and went back to take the car.
All the way to Xihua Gate, the guard saw the Xiangfu chariot and horse, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door."
A carriage rushed into the palace, and it was a capital offense against Long Yan.
The emperor leaned on the bed, and did not see the great eunuch Li Zhongyi.
Lin Changqing sat on the big chair and straightened, holding the letter in his hand, his hands trembling slightly unconsciously.
He looked up at the Emperor for a long time.
"What do you think?"
The emperor's voice was cold, like an emotionless corpse.
Lin Changqing thought for a long time and said: "Mobilizing the garrison to kill local officials is a capital crime of rebellion, but now the problem is not this, but ......."
The emperor said in a low voice: "But once this news spreads all over the country, his charge of rebellion will be confirmed, and some people in the world will say that my father and son are not in harmony, and there will be people who will comment on the single-mindedness of the officials and thieves of Nanshan Dao, and all kinds of rumors will be chaotic, and I will be unstable here."
Lin Changqing said: "Now how to transfer the nibs of those scholars and literati is the most important, Yuelu Academy has not had a letter to the present, presumably Cao Zihao has pressed it down, at this time, as long as the scholars of the world do not take this matter to heart, it will not be a big deal."
The emperor said: "Pick the key point."
Lin Changqing said: "We must be more ruthless in burning books, and at the same time call for the next year's scientific expedition to expand official service, so that those literati don't have the heart to pay attention to the affairs of Nanshan Road."
The emperor thought for a long time and said, "What about King Anqing?"
Lin Changqing's heart was stunned, and he whispered for a long time: "It's all up to Your Majesty."
"I'm in charge?", the emperor slowly leaned over, stared at Lin Changqing, and said word by word: "He should be killed!"
A layer of fine sweat oozed from Lin Changqing's back, and he whispered: "The minister thinks that if the king of Anqing is punished, those scholars of Yuelu Academy must feel that the king of Anqing is indeed guilty, but it is not good."
The emperor pondered for a long time and said, "What do you say people are living in this life?"
got up gently, walked down on the edge of the bed, and said: "When I was a child, the emperor touched my head, pointed to the map of the world on the wall and told me that he was alive because he threw the princes of the world one by one into the oil pot and fried them, so he was in the military camp all his life and never returned to the palace.
Lin Changqing wiped the sweat on his head and didn't dare to make a sound.
The emperor said, "Now it's my turn."
When Lin Changqing heard this, he fell to the ground with a thud, and knelt down and said: "The saint must be auspicious, the foundation of this world is not yet stable, you have to take care of your body."
The emperor roared: "How to take care, how to take care? I have led my troops to start killing my officials, and another day I will lead the imperial army to kill my feudal officials, how can I take care?".
Death-like silence, suddenly heard the emperor sneer, laughed at himself: "This is called the reincarnation of heaven", his head rested on his shoulder, his feet turned slightly with his body, and he said for a long time: "It's just for the blessing of children and grandchildren, but it's just for the sake of the people of the world", sighed, suddenly turned around, and said with a light in his eyes: "He is my son, this black cauldron...... I carried it for him, so I did as you said, but in the future, I heard rumors that the king of Anqing led his troops to kill the officials, and they were all killed!"
Lin Changqing let out a sigh of relief, but saw that there was already a blue light outside the door, and it was dawn.
Ye Liuli couldn't sleep left and right, looked at the room opposite that was still shiny, and let out a long breath of turbidity.
got up and pushed the door and walked to the door of the Anqing royal house, and knocked on the door twice.
"Come in".
But I saw that the seals of the official uniforms on the table had been prepared and placed neatly on them.
"Your Royal Highness, why is this?".
Zhou Bomin sighed and said: "Leading the garrison to kill officials is a capital crime of rebellion, I don't know?"
Ye Liuli was speechless. Suddenly, there was a soft sound outside the door, someone pushed the door in, and the person in front of him looked old, and Ye Liuli felt a slight pause in his heart.
"Xie Lao".
Zhou Bomin bowed his head.
The old man slowly walked to the table and sat down, and sighed for a long time.
Ye Liuli left the room with a familiar look.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is too reckless, even if those officials don't do it right, An Neng will lead the army to cut and kill?", Xie Zhengxuan said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince has made a big disaster this time."
Zhou Bomin sighed: "I'm ready."
"What preparation?".
"This is a capital crime of rebellion, the world's scholars will say that I am ready to rebel, and they will also say that I am at odds with my father, and they will also say that the officials and thieves of Nanshan Road collude, and the people are not happy, if I don't die, these words will not be true?"
Xie Zhengxuan said: "You have read the Sage Avenue for a lifetime in vain."
Zhou Bomin was suspicious when he heard this: "Am I not right?"
"What you say is true, but you don't know the Holy One too much, and you don't know the way of the world too much."
When Zhou Bomin heard this, he was stunned.
"These mistakes you have committed, the Holy One will only resist them all, as for whether you die or not, alas, the Holy One is just you and His Royal Highness's two sons, His Royal Highness has been on the army since he was fifteen years old, guarding the border passes, and he has never read many books in his life, and how many scriptures he has learned to govern the world, if you die, how will the people of the world explain after a hundred years."
Zhou Bomin is like a big stick on the head,
"People, living in the world, there will always be a hope", Xie Zhengxuan got up and said: "When Gonggong Li comes, you will go back with him, and I will deal with the troubles here."
"Grandpa Li is coming?".
"If you commit such a big thing, others have to rest assured when they come to the Holy Heavens."
As he was talking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door, and someone broke into the room, it was Li Zhongyi who had not had time to change his clothes, Li Zhongyi saw Xie Zhengxuan, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Xie Lao, you are more at ease in our house."
Xie Zhengxuan bowed his hand to him slightly, Li Zhongyi bypassed Xie Zhengxuan, pulled Zhou Bomin and said repeatedly: "Your Highness has made a big disaster this time, the Holy Lord ordered me to take you back to the palace, and I will not delay for a moment, let's go?"
Zhou Bomin hesitated twice, but saw Xie Zhengxuan nodding at him.
"What are you hesitating about, the fire is burning to the buttocks, now you can't ask His Highness to appear in front of everyone, let's go quickly."
Zhou Bomin sighed and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao Li."
Li Zhongyi's heartbeat slowed down at this time, and he hurriedly pulled Zhou Bomin out of the room, found a carriage in the palace, and hurriedly stepped on the way back to Beijing.
Xie Zhengxuan silently watched the carriage leave, and snorted softly for a long time, "Alas, it's just that the son is for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is for his son."
Looking around, the rivers and mountains are thousands of miles.
Ye Liuli took the luggage and came out of the room, Xie Zhengxuan saw this and gave it up.
"I wonder where the real person is going this time?".
Ye Liuli said: "Originally, I was going to go to Yuelu Academy with His Royal Highness the Prince, but now I can only go by myself."
Xie Zhengxuan said: "This time is thanks to real people, otherwise the world is unpredictable."
Ye Liuli hugged his fist at Xie Zhengxuan and said: "I'm tired of Xie Lao in the future, and the trail will leave."
As he spoke, he spread his legs and walked out of the city.
When Cao Pu arrived at the academy, a group of white-clothed scholars gathered in the courtyard, saw him, and someone said, "Dean, have you sent all those recitals?"
Cao Pu smiled: "It's sent, it's all sent."
There is a humanitarian: "The king of Anqing killed officials indiscriminately, which is really a capital crime."
"Yes, if the king of Anqing is not dead, where is the law of the king of the world?"
Cao Pu said: "These are the affairs of the emperor's family, I came to you today, for the next year's scientific examination, I heard that the Ming officials have expanded their recruitment, and now they have deposed the hundred schools and respected the Confucian scholars, but you and other scholars have a good opportunity, you need to study hard, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, but in order to establish merit, everyone go back and read books."
"Officials are expanding?", someone exclaimed.
"Then why are we staying here? Reading and studying", the white-clothed disciples scattered like birds and beasts.
"Some people say that Yuelu Academy is not as good as Bailu Cave, but they are wearing an imperial hat on their tops, and they will definitely be compared to ...... this time."
Cao Pu frowned slightly, turned around and went into the room.
On the large lawn of Qingming Mountain, a column of water shot out, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal.
Huang Longshi looked at the man practicing swords on the lake, nodded from time to time, and said secretly: "This kid is lucky."
After Li Jingyun finished practicing his sword, he walked to Huang Longshi's side, picked up the kettle and took a sip, gasping and said, "Brother Huang, I feel that I have made great progress recently."
Huang Longshi's eyes widened and he said, "What's the big thing, can you beat me?".
Li Jingyun scratched his head, sat on the big rock on the side and did not speak.
Huang Longshi looked at the sky and said to himself: It's time to come.
Thinking like this, a figure appeared at the edge of the large lawn in the distance.
