Chapter Seven Quan Xiaoyi

Chang Sihao heard it even more and asked: "What does it have to do with Lord Cheng when you enter the palace in vain?"

Cheng Lian'an kowtowed: "Reported to Qiansui. The slave's father is Cheng Yunfeng. He is a humble man..."

Chang Sihao roared and said, "What did you say?"

Cheng Lian'an was lying down and putting his forehead against the ground: "Stop the anger for a thousand years. A son should not argue with his father. But the slave father is indeed like this."

Long Qing stretched out his palm and pressed it slightly at Chang Sihao. His eyes turned back and he said in a deep voice: "You said."

"yes."

Cheng Lian'an knelt there, just like Feng Bao, and told the story of Xiao Dongzi, the vegetable domineering. Finally, he said: "The father of the slave is chivalrous, resolute and courageous. He is the type of man that fools in the market admire the most. He often does things and thinks he is chivalrous and righteous. In fact, it hurts people a lot. Take the adopted father of the slave for example. When he was young, he had a good relationship and was matched by brothers. At that time, my adoptive father went out to vendors to sell tofu every day. Although he wanted to pay tribute to the vegetable domineering, his life was safe. But my father and

The Caiba fought and beat him down. It seemed to be a pity for his adoptive father for a moment. But what happened? After he left, the Caiba came back and smashed the tofu shop of my adoptive father's house and beat him up. The old man was injured and angry. My adoptive father was homeless and had to go to the palace to become a eunuch. Later, their brothers met again. The adoptive father never mentioned the funeral of that year. He was afraid of making my father sad. On the contrary, my father occasionally remembered and talked about how happy the fight was. He also praised my father's chivalrousness."

He was consistent with Feng Baosheng. But Feng Bao only said that his uncle died of illness. He did not mention that he was beaten and angry and died of death by Xiao Dongzi's revenge. Obviously, he also blocked Cheng Yunfeng. Chang Sihao's eyes were straightened. Thinking about the word "chivalrous and righteousness" in his heart, it was always a matter of course. However, what Lord Cheng did back then did was a good intention to do bad things. Perhaps he did not take action at that time. Feng Bao's family was bullied. It was just a piece of tofu every day. The result of resistance was that the family was destroyed. Which one was wrong and which ended better? I am afraid it was really hard to tell for a while.

Cheng Lian'an said: "Life is in this world. We will be calm and calm for a while. We will take a step back and broaden the sky. But my father doesn't understand. He killed Japanese pirates in the south, quelled rebellion, made military contributions, and became an official, but his temper still did not change. My mother said that with his temperament, he could fight against the enemy, but he could not become an official. So when he came to work in Beijing, he collided with eunuch Chen. Fortunately, he was saved by his adoptive father and demoted to the border. He saved his life. He was a righteous person.

The general public and the lower-class soldiers admired him. He could have joined the military again. It was a good place for him. But later, when the foreign soldiers came to fight, they could retreat temporarily and regroup again. However, he chose to defend the lonely city to the death without letting in the inch of land. The soldiers of the people were ignorant and believed him and willing to die together. As a result, the entire city was destroyed. The city was also taken away. Not only did they lose their land, but they even got people in it."

His voice was tender. When he talked about the past, he had no sadness or regret. He looked like a little adult who was condescending and saw through everything. Chang Sihao thought of Cheng Yunfeng when he was dying and regretted it. At that time, he was covered in blood and tears. He shook his cheeks and said, "Life is not for death. Life is hope." The scene was especially before his eyes. A burst of sadness came and he was silent. Longqing, Changsun Xiaochi and others also lowered their eyes and thought. Each had their own thoughts.

Cheng Lian'an's eyes were calm and continued slowly, "Being an official is to do it for the country and for the people. If the people in the country suffer losses, that is right or wrong. My adoptive father said that the corrupt officials in this world are not scary, because they are just making money from their own houses. The harm is not great. Sooner or later, the money is still from the country. What's scary is that some people are full of knowledge and ambitions, and they dislike everything in the world. Once such people have the corresponding power, they follow their own minds.

I want to construct. I clearly went in the wrong direction. But I still think that I am the most correct person. The purpose is to save the people. But I cause the world to suffer. Maybe I will ruin the country and fall apart. It is hard to say that he is not out of good intentions. Wang Mang, who was reorganized in the Western Han Dynasty and Wang Anshi, who carried out the reform in the Northern Song Dynasty, are all such examples. The slave also thinks. Fortunately, my father's official position is small. If he is older, maybe there are still many people who will die in vain. In that case, the sin will be even more serious."

Longqing saw that he was very mature in his words. He nodded and sighed softly, saying, "This is correct. But reforms are not all bad things. However, it is not a bad thing to do if you have the talent of heaven and earth. Therefore, there are many people who have achieved success in ancient times. People from later generations cannot compare with the great men of founding countries, the genius who can be concentrating on and pragmatic, and keep their achievements without losing. It would be good."

Cheng Lian'an bowed his head: "The emperor said, "The emperor often said that the emperor cultivated politics with benevolence and virtue, humility and frugality. He was one of the few good emperors in the world. Seeing the emptiness of the treasury and the poor of the common people, he also thought of summoning capable ministers to reform and reform, revitalizing and rising and falling. However, he thought that the reform was large and extensive. Moreover, the success or failure was unknown. He was unwilling to make a gambling on people's livelihood. Therefore, it was not agreed. This was the emperor who was sympathetic to the people of the world. He had a loving heart and could serve him like a wise ruler. It was a blessing he had cultivated in his previous life. After hearing this, the slave thought, you are really good."

Longqing nodded and smiled: "Well, I don't ask for merit. I just want to be without mistakes. I have no ambitions. I can't be considered a wise ruler. Get up and talk." He looked at Feng Bao sideways, and his eyes were quite commendable.

Chang Sihao asked, "Then why did you become a little eunuch?"

Cheng Lian'an just stood up and lowered his head again after hearing this. He said, "Originally, my adopted father asked the slave to read more books. He would be an official in the court in the future. But the slave thought about it. My father studied hard and had a successful academic career. But his brain was still the same brain, his temper. He could not be wrong in this life. He even spent his life. It can be seen that although reading is useful, what determines his destiny is the personality. His temperament is wrong. It is like riding a horse in the wrong direction. The faster the horse is, the more he gets away from his goal.

The more you read, the greater the mistakes you can make. So the slave told his adoptive father that he was unwilling to study. The adoptive father said again. Then you will practice martial arts. In the future, you will take the martial arts exam and become a general. It is also considered that your son will inherit his father's business. The slave felt that if the slave had the ability and saw unfair things, he would inevitably be as proud as his father, and he would use his sword and war and cause trouble. If he could not do anything, he would just hide away. I would not hurt such a person. At least he would be blessed."

Longqing laughed at the loss when he heard this: "It is possible to govern the country with literature and martial arts. It depends on how people use it. How can they stop eating because of choking? You must be too lazy and don't want to learn anything."

Cheng Lianan bowed and said, "Thank you, the emperor for your praise. I dare not be a slave."

Longqing said, "How did I praise you?" Cheng Lian'an smiled and said, "The emperor praised me for being lazy just now." Longqing was unhappy: "Is laziness praise people?" Cheng Lian'an bowed his knees and said, "Return to the emperor. Confucius said but did not do it. It was laziness. It was just because the world's knowledge and predecessors had already said it. Confucius could only explain one or two. Even Confucius was like this. The slave did not dare to be wise with the saints. Lao Tzu said, "The saints knew if they were not good, but they were famous if they did not see them. They also said, "The only thing they did not fight, so no one in the world can fight with them. If they did not, they did not see, they did not fight, they were lazy. The emperor just said that the slaves were lazy. Isn't that praising the slaves as little saints? They dare not be a slave."

Long Qing smiled and said, "Hahaha. It turns out that you don't read this book. You have read a lot of classics from your predecessors. But you talked to me and joked with me."

Cheng Lian'an was happy when he heard that he smiled and lowered his head: "Sister was forced to study and endorse the book since he was a child. He has never been able to understand it very much. He also knows that he has no ability to assist the country in politics. I think that there are some people in this world who are born to do big things, and there are some people who are born to do small things. My father has no talent and virtue and takes big things, which leads to failure and success, harming others and oneself. The slave has the ability to know himself. He must not follow his old path. He only wants to be able to serve the emperor and be a red cloud that accompanies the sun. He is satisfied."

Longqing murmured: "So it's a trivial matter to serve me."

Cheng Lian'an glanced at his eyes and saw that he was smiling and pretending to be angry. He quickly smiled and said, "The Emperor is joking. Serve the Emperor is a great thing for the servants. But you are the Holy Emperor. What kind of big things are naturally a trivial matter in your eyes." Long Qing smiled and nodded.

When Chang Sihao saw that he was young, he was actually flattering and skillful, and seemed to be a slave in nature. He was both angry and regretful. He said to Feng Bao: "He is still young and ignorant. He just educates slowly. Even if he is willing to serve the emperor, there is no need to be a eunuch. How can you follow him at the same time? Let the Cheng family lose their children and grandchildren."

Feng Bao said bitterly: "I don't know that Qiansui doesn't know. My righteous brother only has this son. He relies on him to inherit cigarettes from his descendants. He proposed to follow me to enter the palace. How could I allow him to persuade him for a few days. He didn't listen. Later, he found a knife from somewhere. He actually... he did it himself and cut off the human way."

"What."

Chang Sihao looked back at Cheng Lian'an and felt that this matter was bizarre.

Longqing, Changsun Xiaochi and Liu Jinwu were also speechless. They couldn't believe that this child was so cruel to him at such a young age.

Cheng Lian'an nodded and said, "Originally, my body, hair, and my parents cannot be damaged. However, my mother is a wife. My father is a muddy person. It may not be right to listen to them. My grandmother often says, "Fly your feathers fly by yourself. Who knows who is who you are?" After all, people still have to live according to their will. They come to the capital. The adoptive father treats me very well, just like a parent-child. I think there are many people in the world who disobey. Even if my biological father

The son and the bloodline are connected, but the father may not be kind and filial. Since I had the idea of ​​entering the palace, I also care about cigarettes for descendants. At worst, I would adopt an adopted son in the future. As long as I have a relationship, I would probably be better than my own. So I took action to stop the distractions of my adoptive father. Moreover, my adoptive father entered the palace. The reason was that my father made the wrong mistake. I did this. One way I fulfilled my wish, and the other way I would pay off my debts for my father. The purpose was to achieve both filial piety and righteousness."

Changsun Xiaochi took a breath of air conditioning. His eyes were lost. He didn't know what he remembered. After a while, he slowly said: "What a filial piety and righteousness."

Several people stopped talking. In the huge room, they were silent for a moment.

Seeing the atmosphere was depressed, Cheng Lianan seemed a little nervous. He didn't dare to take a sneak peek. He just lowered his head and turned his eyes to think about it. He recalled whether there was any mistake in his words just now. His expression became much more respectful.

The surrounding heating furnace occasionally burned red charcoal and burst out sounds.

Chang Sihao was closest to the stove. Looking at Cheng Lian'an, he felt cold. He walked closer and handed the jade pendant to the carved dragon and said, "This is your family heirloom. Take it."

Cheng Lian'an took it with both hands, put it in his arms, and retreated to the side.

Chang Sihao asked: "You don't want to know why it is in my hands." Cheng Lian'an lowered his head and said: "I am very curious. But as a slave, the first thing I need to know is what to ask and what not to ask. If Qiansui wants to say, he will naturally tell the slave. If he doesn't want to say, he will ask randomly. I am afraid that it will make Qiansui unhappy."

Chang Sihao stared at his half-swollen face. His eyes were complicated. I didn't know if it was anger, laughing, or crying. He was stuffy for a long time. Finally, he let out a sigh and felt a chill in his heart. He remembered Liao Gushi's words "The loyal and good man may not be loyal and good man." Unexpectedly, it really made him feel unfortunate. Cheng Lian'an in front of him was just like Jing Lingyu said. He was a little tail wagging his tail and begging for mercy. He said lightly: "Very good. I don't want to talk about this anymore. You go down."

Cheng Lian'an looked at the emperor and saw Long Qing wavering, and then bowed.
