Chapter 248: Death in Peace
"Heart, how to ask. Ye Xuan looked at Song Chunqiu's calm face and drank tea. Asked curiously.
Song Chunqiu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Enlightenment." Realize from the big and small things in life. Then summarize it with your heart. You may be uneasy this time, perhaps because you are not feeling well, or maybe you are aware of something that is out of your control. All kinds of difficulties that people encounter in their lives are because their minds are confused. In fact, from the overall situation, all people come to this world naked, and as long as people live, all gains and losses are increased or decreased on the basis of things outside of you. If you lose, you can earn again, and if you lose what you earn, you won't lose money. As long as the person is okay. So even if you encounter something, you have to be a little more indifferent. If you stand up, it will always pass. However, people in the world will always be tempted to endure things outside of their bodies. ”
When Ye Xuan heard this, his head was like a thunderbolt. Song Chunqiu's remarks, he also heard of it for the first time. But it is true that this is also the case, the red stripes come to this world, and then the red stripes leave, all the experiences in the middle are actually "gains". It's just that many people have been kidnapped by "numbers". And a lot of money can indeed control most people. How many people have thrown their heads and spilled their blood to get it.
Ye Xuan raised his glass and drank the fruit brew, and then said: "Song Daru's words are better than reading five car books. ”
Song Chunqiu smiled. Then he got up and walked upstairs. Waving his hand, "Let's get some rest early." ”
Ye Xuan nodded. Hongrui continued to be in a daze, but her left hand kept stroking the wooden bracelet in her right hand. The wooden bracelet is polished smooth and looks very quaint, with a small flower faintly carved on it.
Ye Xuan turned his head and saw the scene of Hongrui stroking the wooden bracelet.
"This wooden bracelet can't have been given to you by your former lover. Ye Xuan said with a smile.
Hongrui glanced at Ye Xuan, her face was calm and she didn't speak, her flickering eyes seemed to be remembering something. But in the end, he finally stood up and went upstairs without saying a word.
In the end, only Ye Xuan was left alone downstairs, and there was the shopkeeper at the tent.
Ye Xuan sat alone dumbfounded. However, the shopkeeper walked to the table, and Ying Ying said with a smile: "Little brother, how long do you want to live in this square platform? ”
"Three houses, time to be determined. Xiao Er on the wine. I want sweet fruit stuffing. ”
"Okay. The shopkeeper turned around and scooped the wine, his voice brisk.
Ye Xuan sat downstairs drinking alone, probably too thirsty. Or maybe you're too tired and just want to sit quietly alone, the room is too quiet, and you can still hear the sound of horses' hooves outside the door from time to time in this lobby. There is also a sense of excitement in the silence.
"Little brother, isn't it fun to drink alone?" said the shopkeeper after scooping up wine.
"Haha, happy and leisurely. Ye Xuan said with a smile.
Outside the window, the moonlight was hazy, and the occasional sound of horses' hooves stepped by.
In the Imperial City of the Secluded Capital, the main hall of the Council and Government Pavilion is still brightly lit. The Demon Emperor sat alone in the palace. The black-clothed man standing next to him was still tall. And a group of old scholars on the case are still frowning and studying, admiring a sentence or two from time to time. The candles flickered, and it was getting late.
"Today, the prime minister also sent someone to the city wall to relieve the siege?" The Demon Emperor's voice carried a faint and irresistible domineering.
The black-clothed strong man said in a hoarse voice. "Go, Great Elder of the Divine Ape Clan, Sun Dexing. ”
The Demon Emperor nodded. "What does the prime minister mean over there? Most of these officials support him. If the prime minister is on my side, then it will be much easier to act in the future. ”
"During the conversation between the minister and Sun Dexing, I could see the fanaticism in the senior's expression, but I don't know what the prime minister meant. The man in black said.
The Demon Emperor frowned when he heard this. "Then this man is really a dangerous person, so fanatical about war?" the Demon Emperor tapped on the handle of his seat. Complex in mind.
"Your Majesty, you are suspicious again. The Divine Ape Clan is all controlled by the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister is an old-fashioned figure, judging from many investigations, the Prime Minister only wants to maintain stability at this stage, after all, Li Shengzhong is also the pillar of the three generations of emperors. The strong man in black said. The Demon Emperor was suspicious of him, after all, the guards who were inseparable all day long knew it. However, the Demon Emperor also trusts him, because in addition to being strong, he is also extremely lazy. Never cliques.
The Demon Emperor frowned at this time, "I'm suspicious." Haha, it's a contradiction, sometimes I want the prime minister's courtiers to be on my side, and sometimes I don't want these courtiers to have a desire for war and cause turmoil. ”
"The foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years, Your Majesty is always right to be cautious, even if you are a prince of leisure, it is better than being a king of a dead country. After all, the king of the dead country will be spurned by the monarchs of later generations. After all, being an emperor is also a profession, and if you don't do it well, you will always be criticized. ”
When the Demon Emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "You, you can always know my thoughts. It's a pity. I can't give you power, otherwise there will be fewer people who can talk to the widow in the future. I want to overthrow the Holy Sect's influence on the Empire. This must be implemented, and under the couch, it cannot accommodate others to sleep soundly. If I don't clear this obstacle for the descendants of the Great Zhou Dynasty when I am alive and let the imperial power shine on the entire Great Zhou, then I really don't know how many puppet emperors there will be in the future generations. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the existence of the Holy Sect has both disadvantages and advantages. Its existence is also conducive to stability to a certain extent, if there is a mediocre emperor in the future and causes turmoil in the world, the minister thinks that the Holy Sect will also help. The strong man in black said bluntly.
The Demon Emperor's fingers tapped on the dragon chair, "Born as living beings, there are always greedy demons, we use the greed of sentient beings to control them, but desire is also the root of threatening the imperial power." The Holy Father will help us maintain stability, but it will definitely be based on the cost we pay. For that Holy Sect, whoever is the Demon Emperor can be as long as it is under its control. I don't want to see that. As for the mediocre emperors of later generations, then perish. Wouldn't it be a disaster for the world to still occupy this position? I would rather change the dynasty at that time. As long as I prosper after the abolition of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the subjects of the world dare. After all, they have been stable for 800 years, do they dare? I.. I hope they dare. ”
The Demon Emperor's last words were very light and lonely. The black-clothed guard was puzzled, he didn't understand why the Demon Emperor would say such a thing. How could an emperor want his courtiers and the people to rebel against him? This generation of demon emperors is really different.
"Your Majesty, why would you want them to rebel?" the guard asked, questioning.
The Demon Emperor smiled: "I feel that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been sitting firmly for eight hundred years. I don't know that it was the policy of the demon emperors of previous generations to care for the people, so that they willingly accepted the rule. Or is it because they are cowardly! Eight hundred years, the pattern of these beings has not changed at all, although I am a demon emperor, but looking at generations of young demons do not want to forge ahead. It's also heartbreaking. The most important thing is that they don't dare to have any objections! I feel that every generation of young demon clans should undergo the baptism of war! Even if there will be heavy casualties, at least they dare to show their swords, so that the juniors who dare to challenge authority will have more ideas and creativity, and this will make our demon clan continue to prosper! Unfortunately, I saw that the officials were becoming more and more lazy, and the people's lives were becoming more and more miserable, but they were actually happy in it. Born in sorrow, die in peace! If this continues, the entire demon clan will be abolished sooner or later. Rather than being attacked and killed by others and then changing! Why don't we break through internally! But they don't dare!"
