Chapter 181: Ask Me What I Want
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, the twenty-first day of April, the time of the Emperor, the edict of Tsing Yi Wei]
Since the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Xu Ke imprisoned himself in the edict, it has been half a month in the blink of an eye.
During his time in prison, he had been pondering several questions, that is, this time, in order to save people, he made himself into an ending of "losing his official position and going to prison." Is it worth it? In the future, if he encounters a similar thing again, how should he choose? What kind of person does he want to be?
In terms of official position, when he was crowned, he was already a thousand households with four grades, and he was unprecedented in the officialdom of the three hundred years of Daqian.
On martial arts, before he was in the Yushan Grassland, he was instructed by "Yulu Weng", although he only learned one swordsmanship, but it was infinitely powerful and has been used to this day.
In terms of chance, he was successively selected by Qiu Mingli and Li Jinxiang, and became a student of Hubu Shangshu, and a powerful disciple of King Wei, and later, he was still favored by the master of the White Old Pavilion, and became a disciple of the Tianzimen of the Shenwang Pavilion.
In his short life, he has already gained too much good luck! As Mingyue, who has been accompanying him in the edict prison, said, the adult is really a lucky person.
Therefore, Xu Ke's heart always gives birth to such feelings:
Heaven has treated me so much, should I still do nothing?
If I were like those ordinary people, I would protect myself with tactfulness, decorate myself with sophistication, always be left and right, and be cautious everywhere, I would have a smooth career and a smooth life, but what is the point of doing that?
Even if he is a very powerful minister, even if he has a lot of money, even if he has a wife and concubine, so what?
100 years later, I'm still just a pile of dry bones!
Is this life that God gave me to do this?
How fortunate I am to be so favored by God. If I walk in the world, I should do what I do and ask what I want, how can I be like those ordinary people in the world, who only know how to chase fame and fortune, and live all day long? If I live like that, will it be a great misfortune! If God knows that I am like this, he will sigh and sigh!
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and I, Xu Ke, have traveled since I was less than a small man, and I have unconsciously reached a place with a unique scenery! I have received such good fortune from God, how can I be vain and self-despiseful?!
......
Xu Ke thought so in his heart, and gradually he already had an answer.
He did it, and it was worth it!
Even if the next time, the next time, encounters the same thing, he will still do so, and he will not be like those worldly people because he has suffered and hit a wall, he has to become sleek and sophisticated.
Because, he has the word "reason" in his heart.
This "truth" has always existed in his heart, as if it has not changed since the day he was born.
Those who are in the world are also the people of the world!
This world is a world for all, everyone is created equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone's rights are the same!
This world can't be a world where you can do whatever you want as long as you have money and power!
Xu Ke also secretly determined that no matter what the future holds, his life will follow his heart and protect the "truth" in his heart!
Although, he himself has to admit that this time, due to a moment of carelessness, he fell into the edict prison and ended up with a "seizure of office and imprisonment", the price is not small!
To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than the result that he couldn't bear to see the nearly two hundred lives in Cuiyun Tower, and they had to be buried with King Han. So, in the early court of Hanyuan Palace, he did not hesitate to openly expose the scandal of King Han opening a brothel privately in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and he also angered the current son because of it.
If it weren't for the maintenance of Li Jin, the king of Han, the Son of Heaven would be angry, in addition to beating Pei Caibao to death with a stick, maybe he would also reward him with dozens of boards in the palace, and then expel him from the court and never use it!
In order to save the "cheap lives" of more than 100 Qinglou women, they did not hesitate to block their own future and offend today's saints, which will be completely incomprehensible in the eyes of the vast majority of people.
No one will approve of him doing this, no one will admire and appreciate his courage, let alone praise and preach the meaning of his salvation, and even a large number of people, after learning that he acted so impulsively, will scold him:
This kid, go crazy!
However, there is still such a person in this world, he fully understands Xu Ke's behavior, and sincerely appreciates Xu Ke's courage in defying the powerful, and fully affirms and praises the significance of Xu Ke's rescue.
Xu Ke never thought that that person was actually Li Jin, the king of Wei under the Son of Heaven and above 10,000 people!
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of confidant in his heart.
Xu Ke hurriedly stood up from his seat, bowed to Li Jin, and said earnestly:
"The 'Xu Wuxi' in His Highness's heart, I am willing to save it!"
"Okay!" Li Zhen also stood up, patted Xu Ke's shoulder, and said approvingly:
Tomorrow morning, this king will enter the palace to face the saint, if nothing else, before noon, there will be a holy decree, ordering you to rush to Jinding Mountain with the 'Xuanhuang Sword' to save people. Time is pressing, after you have received the holy order, you must leave as soon as possible, and there must be no delay for a moment!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, remember that you are disease-free!"
Li Zhen told again: "Remember! You went to Jinding Mountain this time just to save people! You don't have to worry about anything else! This king heard that the national teacher of Xiao Guo has extraordinary martial arts, you must not entangle with him, and after the 'Xuanhuang Sword' is delivered, you will immediately escort the King of Jin back to the city!"
"Good!"
......
Li Zhen looked at Xu Ke carefully, and he suddenly remembered what his father said to him at noon today, and he felt more and more that the disease in front of him was so similar to his fourth son Hongen, his body and face. Although in front of his father, he attributed this to "coincidence", but where in the world can there be such a coincidence?
Li Zhen saw that the words had been brought, and Xu Ke had been moved by him at this time, and the time was pressing, so he didn't stop staying longer, and before turning around and going out, he asked again:
"No disease, do you need the king's help in anything?"
"Oh, there really is one thing that needs His Highness's help!"
Xu Ke suddenly thought that in the No. 11 cell next door, there was still the bright moon girl. If he gets the holy order tomorrow, then he has to leave Chang'an City immediately, and go to Jinding Mountain to save people, and he doesn't know what will happen on the road ahead. Naturally, this Mingyue girl can't let her stay in the edict anymore.
"Your Highness, there is still a bright moon girl living in the edict prison, these days, I hope that His Royal Highness can properly settle her, and when the matter is over, I will ...... myself"
"Mingyue?is that Mingyue in Cuiyun Tower?" Li Zhen immediately asked.
"Exactly!"
"How could Mingyue be locked up in the Imperial Prison?
"Your Highness, this matter is a long story......" Xu Ke's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Where is she?"
"It's in the cell next door!"
"Take me to see it!"
So, Xu Ke had no choice but to lead Li Zhen and walked into the No. 11 cell next door.
Xu Ke called Mingyue to Li Jin's approach and said, "Miss Mingyue, this is your real life-saving benefactor, His Royal Highness the King of Wei! On that day, the Holy Lord could issue a decree to exempt you from your sins, and it all depended on the merits of the King of Wei!"
Mingyue hurriedly leaned over and knelt down towards Li Jin, and thanked respectfully:
"Mingyue, the daughter of the people, knock on the prince, thank the prince for saving his life!"
"That's it, get up!"
Li Zhen glanced at Mingyue slightly, raised his gaze again, and glanced at the furnishings in the cell, and he already had a general understanding of the situation in his heart.
Li Zhen faced Xu Ke with some dissatisfaction in his expression:
"She can go with this king, but she can't enter the palace! These days, this king will settle her in a separate courtyard, and after you rescue King Jin, you will pick her up yourself!"
Xu Ke was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly leaned over Li Zhen and made a big salute, and said earnestly:
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
