Chapter 5 Advice Against Ears
When Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao were in despair, they suddenly remembered one person. This person is the prime minister of Dongsheng Kingdom, the prime minister of Dongsheng Kingdom, this person is heartfelt and straightforward, outspoken, and is an old minister of the four dynasties of Dongsheng Kingdom, with a very high prestige. ProtΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the government and the opposition.
Xiangguo has been loyal and good for generations, and this time to build this high platform, Xiangguo will definitely be dissatisfied. After thinking about it, why don't they inform Xiangguo of this matter, and with Xiangguo's prestige above the court, they can dissuade His Majesty from retracting the order to build a high platform, or they may be able to regain a glimmer of life.
But when the two were favored, they offended Xiangguo a lot, but they didn't know if Xiangguo could intercede for them. Concubine Xiao asked worriedly, "Sister, can Xiangguo help us?"
Concubine Hua shook her head: "No." β
Concubine Xiao's last bit of hope, with Concubine Hua's shaking of her head, was completely desperate, and then asked, "Sister, then will we go to Xiangguo Mansion?"
Concubine Hua got up from the couch and said, "Go."
Concubine Xiao was puzzled, and looked at Concubine Hua suspiciously: "Since Xiangguo doesn't help us, what's the use of us going to Xiangguo's mansion?"
Concubine Hua pulled up Concubine Xiao, who was sitting on the bed: "Xiangguo may not be able to help us, but he wants to help the people of the world, save the people of Limin, and save the precarious Dongsheng Kingdom, let's go." Maybe you and I have a glimmer of life in the hands of Xiangguo. β
In the end, the two had no choice but to come to Xiangguo's Mansion and inform Xiangguo of the demon concubine's confusion and the national teacher's practice of building a high platform.
The national teacher built a high platform outside Chang'an City and ascended to heaven and the moon. After being known by the current Xiangguo. It is very disturbing, now the treasury is empty, natural disasters have been repeated, crops have not been harvested, and the people have no food to eat, and they are miserable.
At this time, it is necessary to build a high platform outside the city of Chang'an, which will cost the people and money. It is afraid of arousing public resentment and turmoil in the world. After three generations of emperors ruled the country diligently, Dongsheng Kingdom has today's prosperity and prosperity, and it is not easy to get the world.
As an old minister of the Four Dynasties, how could he watch this great country be destroyed in one fell swoop. The construction of the high platform was originally a conspiracy and trickery of the national teacher, and a move to bend the law for bribes. Emperor Wu Wei not only did not stop it, but also aided the abuse. Listen to fallacies and kill innocents indiscriminately. Such stupidity, atrocity. If it is not stopped, Dongsheng Kingdom may be in danger.
Xiangguo immediately entered the palace and admonished. Stop the absurd act of building a high platform, ascending to the sky and taking the moon, and burning the concubine, and hope that Your Majesty will have mercy on the people in the world. Stop building this high platform for ascending to the sky and taking the moon, be a good minister and a villain, and be a generation of bright kings.
Xiangguo's admission to the palace happened to be learned by Jiang Bing, a student of his disciple who came to visit. After hearing this, Jiang Bing immediately panicked, and knew that something was wrong, so he quickly rushed to the palace to stop the teacher's advice. Jiang Bingnai is the secretary of the Dali Temple in Dongsheng State, in charge of criminal affairs. He prevented his mentor from coming to admonish this time because he was worried about his teacher's life.
Since Emperor Wu Wei ascended the throne, he has long ignored the government. Listen to fallacies, kill innocents indiscriminately, only know how to drink and have fun every day, and indulge in prostitution. If the teacher goes to admonish him and fails, he is afraid that he will be worried about his life. Now the court is in chaos, and the demons are in power. Emperor Wu Wei has become mediocre and immoral.
Build a high platform, ascend to heaven and take the moon. Jiang Bing had already heard that when Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao were favored, they bullied others. Concubine Hua deserves it, and the teacher pleads for her at this time, if she is framed by a traitor, it will not be worth the loss.
At present, we can only understand the current situation and be cautious in our words and deeds to save our lives. When Emperor Wu Wei ascended the throne, because of a demonic word of divination and hexagram by the national teacher, he ordered to kill hundreds of people in Leshan Village, resulting in no one in Leshan Village being spared. All died under the butcher's knife, for which Xiangguo was also scolded by the rod for fifty years, and almost lost his life.
How can such a mediocre and unscrupulous king listen to his advice? I'm afraid that before I can wait for the teacher's advice, I have been victimized by the traitor, and I may be gone. This matter is very important, not long after Xiang Guo left the house, Jiang Bing immediately chased him out after hearing the news.
At this time, Xiangguo had already arrived at the outer gate of the palace, only to hear Jiang Bing shouting loudly: "Xiangguo, please stay, the student has something to say to the teacher." β
Xiangguo heard the sound and stopped. looked back at Jiang Bing, who looked anxious, and then asked puzzledly, "Jiang Bing, why are you here?"
Jiang Bing trotted all the way, looked flustered, kept panting, and came to Xiangguo: "Teacher, but you want to enter the palace to face the saint?"
Sangkook smiled: "Exactly."
Jiang Bing hurriedly waved his hand: "No, never." But the teacher wants to enter the palace to admonish?"
Xiangguo was calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with entering the palace this time, as Xiangguo of Dongsheng Kingdom, he had the responsibility to advise His Majesty. It is more responsible to maintain the safety of Dongsheng Country and care for the people.
So he was puzzled: "As a courtier of Dongsheng Kingdom, why can't the old man go to meet the saint and persuade him to put the country's society first, and be sympathetic to the people?"
Jiang still looked flustered, although his teacher's words were reasonable, but now the situation has changed, and now Emperor Wu Wei has been confused by demons and listened to the rumors. has long left the country and society behind, and only wants to enjoy himself. If you don't want to make progress, you can't listen to the advice of advice, if you anger Your Majesty, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed.
So Jiang Bing stood in front of Xiangguo and said: "Teacher, I know that you are good for Dongsheng Country, for Your Majesty, and for the common people in the world." But now His Majesty has long been mediocre and murderous. It's brutal and unkind, isn't the teacher going to die?"
"Student, please think twice!"
Xiangguo patted Jiang Bing's shoulder and said: "The old minister has been loyal and good for generations, how can he be willing to let this Dongsheng country decline day by day, how can he bear to watch the people of the world suffer, and now there are natural disasters year after year, and the people are in dire straits." β
"At this time, if you don't stop Your Majesty from building a high platform, stop working the people and losing money. I don't know how many Lebanese people will be displaced and their families destroyed. I am afraid that the country of Dasheng is in danger. β
"Even if you fight for the life of the old minister today, you must advise Your Majesty to know the way back, Jiang Bing! The old minister has made up his mind. Don't advise the teacher anymore. Go back, and you must not be implicated in this matter. β
After Jiang Bing heard this, he was a little helpless. Since the teacher knows that this is a lot of bad luck, he has to take risks. Is he really old and confused, a faint king is a faint king, if he is not a faint king, how can he only care about his own pleasure and ignore the common people in the world.
Even if they go, what's the use? It will also lead to death, so why bother, I really don't know what the teacher thinks.
Jiang Bing stood outside the hall and shouted helplessly: "Teacher, just listen to my advice! Teacher, Teacher, Teacher......"
At this time, Sangkook had entered the main gate and turned around. With a smile on his face, he waved his hand: "Go back!" If the old minister dies in the palace today, I hope Jiang Bing will take care of your master and wife." Please......"
Then Xiangguo walked into the hall, and Jiang Bing, who was outside the hall, had already burst into tears, and Jiang Bing's behavior moved Jiang Bing a lot, an old and frail Xiangguo today, so loving the people. So loyal to Dongsheng country, loyal to Your Majesty. Admonish Your Majesty with death.
This spirit of not fearing life and death also deeply infected Jiang Bing, and the smile of the teacher when he turned back was very indifferent, without any fluctuations, maybe in front of the world, he had put life and death aside.
Jiang Bing's eyes suddenly closed, and a line of hot tears welled up. Kneeling outside the hall, a heart-rending pain welled up in his heart, and he silently recited: "Teacher". Then there were tears streaming down their heads......
After Xiangguo entered the palace, inside the palace. It was a mess, the wine lord was poured, the wind music was played, and the dancing queen danced in His Highness. Emperor Wu Wei took Guo Qiuyue into his arms, teasing from time to time, using obscene words and obscene laughter.
Seeing this scene, Xiangguo was angry, slammed a wine lord on the ground, and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of system, what kind of system." The dignified king of a country, drinks and has fun every day, ignores the government and politics, and has sex with this demon concubine all day long. In the long run, where will my Dongsheng Kingdom exist?"
Emperor Wu Wei saw that Xiangguo was furious, but he was not angry. So he laughed, picked up the wine lord from the top of the hall and said, "Aiqing is here, please take a seat." How about a drink with me?"
Xiang Guo waved the cuffs of his court robe and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph! Your Majesty." You drink and have fun every day, have you ever been sympathetic to the people of the world? Now that natural disasters have been going on for many years, the people have not had enough to eat, and they are already miserable. Your Majesty is still so leisurely and elegant, greedy for pleasure here. β
Emperor Wu Wei still ignored Xiangguo's words, hugged Guo Qiuyue in his arms, drank the glass of wine he was up, put down the wine, glanced at Guo Qiuyue with admiration, and then said a little impatiently.
"Xiangguo, if it is peaceful today, the people live and work in peace and contentment. Where did the people come from who were hungry and miserable? I see that you are old and dizzy, today I am still in a good mood, I will not punish you, accompany me to have a drink!"
Then he pointed to a few beautiful concubines and said, "A few of you, you are waiting for Xiangguo." Let him also enjoy the joy of family, the wonderful things in the world. β
Several beautiful concubines stepped forward and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then several concubines stepped forward and tore Xiangguo's clothes: "Xiangguo, let us concubines serve you well! β
Xiangguo dodged again and again, and kept muttering: "What kind of system, what kind of system ...... become"
Emperor Wu Wei sat on the top of the main hall, looking at Xiangguo as a woman, and smiled from ear to ear: "Haha, haha......
The angry Xiangguo was red-faced, and he was helpless about the entanglement of these concubines, and finally roared angrily: "Get out of ......"
This anger frightened several concubines to dodge a few steps. Then Xiangguo stepped forward angrily and said: "Your Majesty, now the treasury is empty, and there have been natural disasters for many years, and the people have paid too much taxes, and they are miserable. The old minister begged His Majesty to be sympathetic to the people's livelihood, focus on the country's society, and be diligent in governance. Stop the construction of high platforms and reduce the weight of the people. Don't waste money anymore. β
Emperor Wu Wei was immediately furious and took the case: "Bold, my world still can't tolerate you to point fingers, I know that you are old and an old minister of the Four Dynasties." I respect you very much, and let my concubines serve you. But you don't know what to do. β
Then Emperor Wu Wei waved his cuffs and said angrily: "Come on, drag this old and frail criminal out to behead the public, take his head and hang it outside Chang'an City, I want to see who dares to point fingers in front of me." β
After Xiangguo was set up by several guards, he was ready to be dragged away. Xiangguo struggled to break free and said: "It's not a pity for the old minister to die, but the old minister is unwilling to watch the decline of Dongsheng Kingdom because of this, if killing the old minister can wake up you, the faint king, the minister will die without regrets." The inheritance left by your fathers will be destroyed by your hands. Pity me for being a great country in the east, and it will be ruined at this point!"
The angry Wu Wei was angry, and pointed his finger at Xiang Guo and said, "You old horseman, if I don't kill you today, it will be difficult to calm the anger in my heart." Someone came, and he didn't drag this old man out of the palace and behead him for public display. β
Then Guo Qiuyue stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Xiangguo is an old minister of the four dynasties, with a high prestige, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the government and the opposition." Killing him threatens to cause unrest in the court. β
"Xiangguo must not be killed at this time. It is better to cut off his tongue and gouge out his ears and eyes, so that he cannot speak, hear, or see. When the time comes, it's never too late to kill. β
After hearing this, Emperor Wu Wei felt that Guo Qiuyue's words were very reasonable, and then said: "Slow down, Nian Xiangguo is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and he has worked hard for the country." If the merits and demerits are offset, the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. For the time being, Xiangguo will be detained in Dali Temple, and it will be decided later. β
This time, Xiangguo not only did not succeed in persuasion, but also aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Wu Wei. I wanted to kill her, but I couldn't bear Guo Qiuyue's snake heart and poisonous woman, and used more vicious methods to kill Zhongliang.
As a result, although Xiang Guo's life was not lost, he cut out his tongue, gouged out his eyes, and pierced his ears. I can't see, I can't hear, I can't speak. After Xiangguo made this catastrophe, Emperor Wu Wei became even more unscrupulous and did whatever he wanted. He turned the court into a slaughterhouse of killing......
