The prince woke up once in the afternoon, and after eating something, he fell into coma again. But it was good news to wake up. Everyone looked at Yang Xuan with something wrong.
Some people came to him in a roundabout way to ask for advice on how to avoid disaster.
Someone came to test the outsider's traces.
Yang Xuan was so annoyed that he simply took leave and went home.
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Lang?"
Yi Niang just glanced at him and knew there was something on his mind.
Yang Xuan sat on the threshold and said: "The prince is unconscious, and the princess wants to kill two palace servants to make things worse. No one cares about it, but I intercede for those two people."
He looked at Yi Niang and said, "Yi Niang, the emperor must kill decisively. Am I too indecisive?"
Yi Niang was startled, and then said softly: "Lang Jun, there are some ruthless kings, some kind kings, and some decisive ones..."
"But I read the history books and it turns out that the benevolence of an emperor lies in the world, and kindness is to be kind to the whole world. And what I did today is close to the benevolence of a woman."
"But Langjun did it without hesitation."
"Um!"
"What did Lang Jun think at that time?"
"I didn't think too much about it, I just couldn't bear it."
"Mr. Lang, if you can't bear it, you are benevolent!" Yi Niang said with a smile: "If you can't bear it with two palace people who have never met before, your husband will be intolerable to the world in the future. If you don't tolerate it in your heart, you will be kind to the people and the world. In this way, great governance can be achieved."
Expect."
After a while, Yi Niang went to find the old thief.
After some conversation, the old thief found out about the East Palace.
"What do you think?"
Lao Cao was absent, so Yi Niang had no choice but to treat the old thief as a think tank.
It can be said that there are no generals in Shu, and Liao Hua is the vanguard.
The old thief scratched his head, "My husband is kind-hearted, so he should just sit back and do nothing."
Yi Niang looked at him coldly, and the old thief laughed dryly and said: "Mr. Lang is kind. But Yi Niang, how difficult the task is, so Ming Jun must not be too kind, otherwise something will happen sooner or later."
"You don't need to say it." Yi Niang said: "When we were in Northern Xinjiang, did Mr. Lang ever show mercy to those foreign races?"
The old thief shook his head, "You can call it ruthless. When I killed Vashe, the Khan's daughter was not bad. I thought that the husband could take her as a maid, but the husband did not hesitate to order the second brother to kill him.
.”
Yi Niang thought a lot, "In Taiping and Chenzhou, Lang Jun was quite kind to the people... Yes, Lang Jun was only kind to his own people, but never showed mercy to his enemies."
Wang Laoer came out, "Mangjun is in a daze."
Yi Niang smiled bitterly, "He is competing with himself!"
The old thief said: "This is the inner demon. How to get rid of it, you have to find a way."
Yi Niang sat down and held her chin with one hand.
"When Lang Jun learned about his life experience, he was not overjoyed, but shocked, even reluctant."
The old thief was surprised, "Young Master is unwilling?"
"Well! He thought for a long time before finally agreeing to take over the cause of rebellion. I was thinking that Lang Jun must be tired!"
The old thief was startled, "Yes, Lang Jun is young, but he has such a heavy responsibility. He has been running around in the past few years. Many things can obviously be slowed down, but he seems to have someone behind him whipping him with a whip, and he is going as hard as he can.
Run forward...he is only seventeen after all!"
He looked slowly and saw that Yi Niang's eyes were red, so he advised, "I have a way."
"What method?" Yi Niang sobbed.
"My husband is getting married, but he still doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. How about... I take him to a brothel for prostitution? I'll make sure he eats the marrow and knows how to taste it, and leave this matter behind."
"roll!"
Yi Niang shouted, but then she had an idea.
"Let Mr. Lang go find Mrs. Zhou!"
The old thief went in and came out again, "My husband is not going."
"Hey!" Yi Niang had a splitting headache, "What should I do?"
Yang Xuan sat in the bedroom and whispered: "Suzaku, what should an emperor be like?"
Suzaku said: "It depends on what kind of emperor you want to be. The emperors like Hanwu only have the country in their eyes, and the rest of them are useless, even their wives and children. These emperors are almost like gods, ruthless and unrighteous."
"Or when emperors like Song Renzong passed away mercifully, the whole capital sobbing for him, and even the enemy countries shed tears for him."
Yang Xuan shook his head.
"I don't like that emperors like Han Wu were slaves to power. Emperors like Renzong of Song were so benevolent that their ministers could spit on him."
"Then what kind of emperor do you want to be?"
"Let me think about it..."
"Tell me first, do you regret what happened today?"
"Never regretted it."
"Then what are you struggling with?"
"What I'm struggling with is...whether what I do is fair to Yi Niang and the people who follow me. I'm worried that my kindness will cause them misfortune in the future..."
"But shouldn't people look at the present when doing things? Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery. If you look at the history books, who can guess what will happen tomorrow? Your speculations and entanglements today are just unfounded worries! It won't happen at all.
!”
"Mr. Lang!"
Yi Niang is here.
"Ms. Zhou wants to go out for a walk today and invites you to come with her."
Yang Xuan changed his clothes and went out with his guards.
The afternoon sun was a bit hot, so Yang Xuan got a bamboo hat and took it with him, still thinking about the problem.
When they arrived at the Imperial College, Zhou Ning, dressed in Tsing Yi, stood outside the door.
"Aning!"
"Zitai!"
Yang Xuan handed the reins of the horse to Wang Laoer and walked side by side with Zhou Ning.
"When are you going home?"
The wedding is getting closer and closer, and it's time for Zhou Ning to go home and get married.
Zhou Ning said: "Wait a little longer."
The two of them wandered around in the alley.
The alley is quiet and quiet, with branches protruding from the walls on both sides from time to time. The branches and leaves are lush and swaying gently in the wind.
Occasionally, you can hear dogs barking, children making noise, or someone saying something about the parents being short-lived.
The sun shone slantly on one side of the wall, and a beetle crawled slowly in a crack in the wall.
Time seemed to have stopped here, leaving only two young people standing in the alley.
"Zitai, I heard that you saved someone today?"
"Yiniang said that, right?"
"Um!"
"Saved two people."
"Do those two people deserve their punishment?"
"No, I suffered innocently."
"Zitai, the Zhou family has been around for many years and has many servants in the family. They rely on rules to control them. If you break the rules, you will be punished as you should. If you don't break the rules, no one can beat someone to death without reason."
Yang Xuan was silent.
"Chun Yu's family tradition is not very good. Chun Yushan is cruel and easy to kill. When Wang's people sneaked into Chunyu's workshop to find out the mystery of smelting, they were captured by Chunyu's people. Do you know where those people went?"
Yang Xuan was silent.
"They were all thrown into the furnace and melted. It was said that even the ghosts and gods couldn't bear to hear the miserable howl."
"Zitai, do you know what I thought when I heard Yi Niang say that you saved two innocent palace residents?"
"I don't know."
"I am happy that I have found such a fearless husband."
…
At night, Yang Xuan thought for a long time.
"I am under pressure and my mentality is a little unbalanced."
"That's right." Zhuque didn't need to sleep, "Xiao Xuanzi, have you thought about what kind of emperor you want to be?"
Yang Xuan lay down and closed his eyes.
"The unique emperor."
…
In the early morning, while Yi Niang was cooking, she was worried about Yang Xuan.
"Four ladies, go make the bed."
Zhang Siniang agreed, and just as she was about to go out, Yi Niang called her to stop.
"You've been practicing well recently, let's show it off today."
Zhang Siniang left happily.
Yi Niang held the spoon in her right hand and held her chin in her left hand, "The young man is full of energy, but is it too early in the morning? Last time, the doctor said that young men should be careful about sex, especially early in the morning. He also said that he should not do anything with his hands. My friend, what’s so strange?”
Wang Laoer's loud voice came.
"Mr. Lang, why are you bending down?"
Yi Niang held the spoon and couldn't help laughing and bent over.
During breakfast, Yi Niang gave the old thief a look.
The old thief coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Lang, do you want to continue asking for leave today?"
"No."
Yang Xuan was in high spirits.
Yi Niang smiled and said: "Mr. Lang is not confused anymore?"
Yang Xuan said: "Just do it, what are you struggling with?"
The old thief praised: "These words are domineering!"
This flattery was good, and Yang Xuan ate an extra piece of cake for it.
East Palace.
The prince was lying on the couch, and Ma Qi stood beside him, choking.
He was holding a greased paper bag in his hand. When he opened it, he found a piece of bread.
The prince, who was supposed to be unconscious, took the cake and took a bite.
"No filling?"
Although the prince's situation is bad, the enjoyment he deserves is not bad at all. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not treat him harshly in this regard. It will be infamy for thousands of years.
Ma Qi whispered: "If mutton is added, the smell will be too strong and others can smell it."
"You're fine." The prince slowly ate the cake, drank water, and then defecated.
After finishing, the prince wiped his mouth and hands carefully.
"How's it going outside?"
"The empress wanted to beat the two palace maids to death, but Yang Xuan dissuaded her."
"She wanted to make a scene."
"yes."
"Where are the others?"
"Many people seem to have received amnesty."
"They all feel that Gu is a scourge and wish that Gu would die quickly so that they could go their separate ways."
"Your Highness, is that matter... appropriate?"
The prince's eyes flashed with something called ambition in the dawn, "What did Mr. Zhong say?"
Ma Qi said: "Mr. Zhong said that if His Highness is critically ill, His Majesty will definitely come to visit. Otherwise, His Majesty's reputation as a mean and ruthless man will not be lost. His Majesty wants to be known as a wise king, so he will definitely come."
"good!"
The prince lay down and said softly: "Tell Mr. Zhong that I will never forget him!"
Ma Qi smiled, "Yes."
He slowly left the palace, beckoned, and several chamberlains came over.
"Keep an eye on the palace. If there is any movement from Your Highness, remember to report it."
"yes."
"Be careful, otherwise... the Yi tribe!"
"yes!"
Ma Qi walked outside the gate of Shaoyang Courtyard, folded his hands in his sleeves, and looked calm.
A chamberlain passed by.
Ma Qi nodded slightly.
The chamberlain walked by without looking sideways.
Later, the officials came one after another.
Zhong Sui came earlier, and after entering the check-in room, Ma Qi went in immediately.
Zhong Sui asked: "How?"
"Okay."
"Let His Highness feel at ease."
"yes."
"Still not leaving?"
"His Highness said it, Mr. Hardworking Zhong."
"I understand."
Zhong then sat down.
After a while, Wei Chu came.
"Why are you so mysterious these days?"
"The weather is hot and I can't sleep well at night."
"Nurture."
"You can rest in a coffin for thousands of years."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"In this way, seize the day and night."
Someone came to report, "The doctor said that your highness will be in danger if you don't wake up."
Zhong Sui changed his expression and said, "Ask Yang Xuan to go to the Liyuan to report to His Majesty."
"yes."
After Yang Xuan received the mission, he complained, "My legs are not healed yet."
The clerk said with a straight face, "This is Mr. Zhong's order."
Yang Xuan stood up and said, "I understand."
His right leg still didn't dare to exert too much force, so he walked a little slower. Looking from behind, he looked like a lame man.
Zhong Sui got the news in the duty room and said: "You are still brave enough to do anything."
Wei Chu smiled and said: "For the people in the East Palace, it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If you ask him to deliver such bad news, it will be a big feud. Hey! Old Zhong, Yang Xuan is young and his future is limitless. Just you
Aren’t you worried that when he becomes successful in the future, you will take care of your children and grandchildren?”
Zhong Sui said calmly: "I never think about the future." He paused and said, "There is no need to think about it."
"That's all, it's up to you."
A clerk came to report, "Mr. Zhong's family is here."
Zhong Sui frowned, "What kind of thing can I be so impatient for?"
Wei Chu smiled and said, "That's all, I'll avoid it."
Later, a young man was brought.
"Mukuro!"
Zhong Sui felt better when he saw his youngest son Zhong Qi, "But something happened?"
"Aye." Zhong Qi sat down and raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, "Yesterday you said you wanted me to go to southern Xinjiang to do business, and this morning you said that there has been some chaos in southern Xinjiang recently, but I just went to inquire about the recent situation in southern Xinjiang.
Well, the rebels have been suppressed."
Zhong Sui looked at his youngest son and waved.
After Zhong Qi came over, Zhong Sui stood up, gently rubbed the top of his head, and said softly: "I have detained you for many years, and now you have grown up. In this way, I will give you three days off. You can do whatever you want."
Go. Just one, no gambling allowed."
Zhong Qi's eyes lit up, "Can I go to a brothel?"
Zhong Sui nodded, pinched his cheek, "Go!"
This was an intimate gesture that had never happened in recent years. Zhong Qi choked up and said: "In the past, Aye was strict, and I felt more like a gentleman. Today I know that Aye is Aye."
…
Yang Xuan arrived at the Liyuan.
Several chamberlains stared at him, and Yang Xuan sneered, "I kill people like crazy in Northern Xinjiang. If you want to trap me, I will drag a few people behind you before you die."
A chamberlain came forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
The two chamberlains were arrested yesterday on charges of corruption.
But everyone knew that this was the punishment for their failed attempt to trick Yang Xuan and for making a big joke.
Therefore, these chamberlains were somewhat restrained when facing Yang Xuan, worried that if they missed a hit, something unexpected would happen.
Yang Xuan said: "Your Highness is seriously ill."
There are only four words, and every additional word carries a stance.
Old dog, your son is going to die, do you want to go and see?
The waiter looked at him and turned around to go in.
After a while, Han Shitou came out and stared at Yang Xuan with sharp eyes.
"Your Highness is seriously ill?"
"yes."
I thought it would be over, but Han Shitou continued to ask: "Are you sure?"
Of course I'm not sure... Yang Xuan said: "Mr. Zhong ordered the officials to come to Liyuan to report."
Han Shitou glanced at him and said, "Wait."
grass!
The weather was extremely hot, and several of the servants did not invite him in to escape the heat. Yang Xuan felt that he would collapse if he stayed in the sun for a while longer.
in.
"His Majesty."
"What's the matter?"
"Zhong Sui sent someone to deliver the news that His Highness is seriously ill."
The emperor looked away from the music score and smiled, "The traitor's method is quite interesting."
