Eight hundred and seventieth IX Heaven's Law and Man's Desire
Hearing that Yinzhen had changed her title, Ling Ruo felt relieved. Although Yinzhen pointed out the mistakes she had made, she would not be severely punished. "I know I made a mistake, please punish me, the emperor."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and said: "I miss you out of good intentions. I will not punish you severely. I will copy the Diamond Sutra three times when I go back as a punishment."
The heart that had just been relaxed tightened again because of these words. She was fine, but as for the three blessings, Yinzhen did not say anything clearly and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, please give the three blessings and emeralds Such a grace, everyone in the palace will definitely be grateful to the emperor for his kindness."
Yinzhen stood up, caressed the Buddhist beads on his wrist and sighed indifferently, saying: "Mencius once said: No good way to nourish the heart is to have few desires. If they are not willing to do what slaves should do in peace and contentment, they will be punished soon. So three Let the queen handle their affairs. Heavenly principles... and human desires can never coexist. If human desires are indulged, then heavenly principles will be suppressed. I cannot do such a thing."
When Ling Ruo heard this, she immediately felt anxious. She not only cared about her two lives, but also didn't want to further fuel Nala's arrogance. Moreover, if she could take back Sanfu and the others, it would be an excellent help for her. Really unwilling to give up, after thinking nervously for a while, he raised his head and said word by word: "Your Majesty, natural principles and human desires have always coexisted. If human desires are destroyed, then natural principles will no longer exist."
"Fei Xi!" These two words Yinzhen had a warning meaning. Ling Ruo heard it, but still continued: "The laws of nature and human desires are actually only a thought. As long as people can restrain their unnecessary **, then there is heavenly reason in him. In the past, the saint Kong traveled all his life. Wasn't he selfish? No, I just thought that he also had selfish motives. He traveled among the countries for nothing more than an official title. But Kong The selfish desires of the saints are for the sake of the people of the world, so they are both desires and principles. They cannot be beaten to death with a stick. We think that all mortals who have desires should be killed."
Yinzhen, who had already stood up to have a meal, stopped when he heard these words, lowered his head to meet Ling Ruo's calm gaze, and after a while he said without emotion: "Bring Sanfu and the two slaves to Kong. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to compare it to a saint?”
Confucius is the representative of Confucianism in the world and has a supreme status. Even the emperor has to worship Confucius to show his respect for Confucianism.
"I don't dare, but I remember that Confucius once said: When three people walk together, there must be my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones." Ling Ruo suppressed the tension in his heart and looked at Yinzhen. He looked calmly and said: "That is to say, in the mind of Saint Confucius, everyone in the world is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. They just have different statuses, either as masters or slaves, but in the final analysis, they are all human beings!" "
These words have gone beyond the bottom line of what Ling Ruo should say, but having said this, there is no reason to look back and continue: "Then, since Kong Shengren's desire has become a good thing; then, why does the emperor insist on it?" Do you think that the desire for three blessings and jade is a bad thing? Moreover, I believe that the emperor is a kind and virtuous king who treats the people of the world well. Otherwise, the emperor would not have abolished the imperial registration and allowed those happy households and civilian households to To study and take exams, you don’t have to live in humiliation for the rest of your life.”
Without waiting for Yinzhen to speak, she kowtowed and let her brocade clothes spread out behind her like morning glow in the sky, gorgeous and beautiful, "So I am bold again and ask the emperor to show mercy and let go of the emperor's two sons, Sanfu and Feicui." The people have a way out, and everyone in the palace will be grateful for the emperor's kindness and pray to heaven for the emperor."
Sanfu gritted his teeth and kowtowed, "Please, Your Majesty, let Sanfu and Jade survive!"
After him, Shui Xiu and others also knelt down, followed by other palace people. In a moment, everyone except Yinzhen and Su Peisheng were kneeling on the ground.
Looking at this scene, Yinzhen remained silent. Ling Ruo's words just now really touched him. The laws of nature and human desires seem to be in opposition, but in fact they are dependent on each other. If human desires are really to be destroyed, then people will not be human, and the country will also be destroyed.
No country.
Ling Ruo waited quietly for Yinzhen to speak. She had already said everything she could and could not say, so if Yinzhen still insisted on the palace rules this time and did not forgive Sanfu and the other two, she would have no choice.
This time, Yinzhen thought for a long time, until a glimmer of dawn gradually appeared on the horizon, and then he said: "That's it, get up."
"Your Majesty..." Ling Ruo stared at him nervously, for fear of hearing the answer she was most afraid of. Her appearance made Yinzhen laugh. He stretched out his hand to pull her up and said, "Look at you, you are even better than the Queen."
Since you care about the life and death of these two people, you might as well let them be your palace servants."
Ling Ruo was overjoyed. Although Yinzhen never made it clear, his meaning was very clear. He finally relented and was willing to spare the lives of Sanfu and the two of them. Thinking like this, he suddenly had the idea to joke, "If the emperor is willing,
I will give these two people to my concubine. Of course I want them, but I am afraid that the queen will not let them go."
Looking at those smiling eyes, Yinzhen shook his head in relief, but held Ling Ruo's hand but did not let go, "I said casually, but you took it seriously. If you really want it, you can ask the queen for it yourself."
I want to go." He said this, looked at Ling Ruo and said: "But you too, before I begged for Hanyan, and this time I begged for Sanfu, it seems that I am addicted to begging, and you are not afraid that I will be like last time.
Will I punish you like that?"
Ling Ruoji said with certainty: "Princess Jingyue is different from Sanfu. At that time, the emperor was forced to have the princess marry far away, but in the emperor's heart, he actually did not want to. But the life and death of Sanfu only depended on the emperor's thoughts.
, with the emperor’s mercy, he will definitely let them live.”
"You, you really have run out of things to say." Yinzhen shook his head and did not continue, but pulled her to the table, "Come, have breakfast with me. Speaking of which, I usually
It's only for one person, how can I have you with me today?"
Ling Ruo sat next to Yinzhen and said with a smile: "If your Majesty likes it, I will come to have breakfast with you every day from now on."
"Just because I agreed to your request today?" Yinzhen personally scooped a bowl of millet porridge in front of Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo covered her mouth and smiled and said: "I am not that kind of person. Your Majesty, please don't accuse me unjustly. I just see that the Emperor has to get up and go to court every day before dawn, and it is very hard, so I want to accompany you."
Accompany the emperor."
Everyone can say good things, but for some reason, when they came out of Ling Ruo's mouth, Yinzhen felt very comfortable. He chuckled and said: "Forget it, I have no choice but to go to court, but you can sleep a little longer, otherwise
