The second prince slept until midnight and was awakened by the noise outside.
He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but he jumped up like a carp.
Mo Li saw it very clearly, and felt that although the two princes were not skilled in martial arts, they were very alert. The second prince stumbled on his left foot and fell to the ground.
Baixing's flexible posture when jumping up.
That's not all, after the second prince fell to the ground, he rolled and shoved himself under the wooden couch abruptly.
However, this couch is not only small, but also not high enough. At best, it can only accommodate a child hunched into it. Lu Min stuffed it into it recklessly. As a result, the whole wooden couch was lifted up by him, and it was hilariously placed on top. on him. From a distance, it seems that the wooden couch has two legs and is swaying and swaying.
Ink carp: "… "
I didn't expect the second prince to be so timid, I didn't see it before!
At this time, there was a sound of the organ outside.
It was Meng Qi who came. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw the oddly arched wooden couch. The top was empty, and the bottom two feet had successfully shrunk in. The national teacher was a little dazed, and subconsciously looked at the ink carp over the step bed.
Mo Li didn't put down the curtain beside the bed, he maintained the posture of meditating and adjusting his breath, and his expression was helpless.
Although the secret room had ventilation openings, it was pitch black without lighting a candle. The second prince couldn't see anything, but the other two couldn't.
"What happened to him?" Meng Qi asked in confusion.
If you don't sleep on a good bed, do you have to learn to use the wooden couch as the armor on your back
"…Maybe I heard movement outside?"
Mo Li woke up earlier than Lu Min, after all, the noise outside was about to turn upside down. Imagine that even people in the secret room can be woken up. How big is the movement outside
Because Mo Li has deep inner strength and keen eyes and ears, he knows what's going on outside, but in the ears of the second prince, he may think that a large group of people has suddenly arrived, trying to catch the hidden rebels!
While speaking, the second prince also woke up. He realized that there was no danger around him, and quickly wanted to crawl out from under the wooden couch.
Results stuck.
He struggled with his hands and kicked with his feet, but he couldn't pull his back out from under the wooden couch.
Mo Li was both angry and funny, he held back, a gentleman should not laugh at people who are in trouble. Even if you laugh, you can't be seen by the other party, which is too rude.
Meng Qi had no such scruples, and lifted the wooden couch with one hand with a smile.
The second prince was also lifted up.
Lu Min inexplicably found that his feet were off the ground. He kicked fiercely in fright, and finally got rid of the wooden couch successfully and fell to the ground. He responded fairly quickly, rolled on the spot, and slowly got up.
His back was burning hot, and his face was hotter than his back. The second prince blushed and said, "There is only such a small and low bed in a room of five taels of silver? Not even a person can get in?"
Meng Qi asked amusingly, "The couch can be used to sit or lie down. I have never heard that it is used for drilling."
"… "
The second prince was at a loss for words, and he went out angrily to light the oil lamp.
Since he couldn't see anything, he had to grope for the walls.
When the oil lamp came on, Lu Min breathed a sigh of relief and entered the room with the oil lamp in hand.
"What's going on outside?" The second prince listened carefully to the noise outside, but the voice was very vague, and he could only hear a few words intermittently, not even a sentence at all.
Meng Qi was sitting on the foot of the step-by-step bed and leaned against the edge of the bed comfortably. It was obviously an act of disrespect and disrespect. It was done by him, but it showed a different kind of uninhibited freedom.
"It's the children of the powerful who are trapped in Peony Square." Meng Qi said casually.
Those people were originally self-confident and domineering. If it wasn't for a major event like "rebellion and rebellion", it would be impossible for them to stay in Peony Square honestly for three days.
Now that the guards of the Guards are gradually loosening their guard, and the search is over, the children of the powerful begin to feel restless.
They miss their powerful parents and want to know what happened to their family during this rebellion. It is also a temptation to lose your temper at the Guards. If the Guards are vicious and wicked, they will naturally shrink back obediently.
When they proudly declared their identity, the attitude of the Praetorian Guard was to answer.
- If the family falls, the Praetorian Guards will not care about their identities at all.
Now that they have tried that their family may be fine, or that they have not participated in this rebellion at all, they have the confidence and start to quarrel.
These theaters in Peony Square and Hualou have cellars.
Tea, rice grains, noodles and wine are all in short supply, but vegetables and fruits have become a problem.
After insisting on drinking tea for three days and eating pastries for three days, the old bustard asked people to serve cabbage, which was really unbearable. These powerful children took the lead in anger, and the wealthy sons and brothers also followed suit.
This is what Meng Qi said before, the martial law in the capital cannot last.
In particular, the emperor Lu Zhang was seriously injured, and the power temporarily fell into the hands of several important officials in Wenyuan Pavilion.
These important officials have small families and subordinates. Now they are all trapped in the mansion, and they have to rely on the food stored in the mansion to survive. There is no problem in three or five days, but ten days and a half months will definitely not work.
Meng Qi also had an eye for it, and he deliberately did not "threaten" those courtiers.
The guards and palace servants of Changle Palace had marks on their necks, but none of the important officials of Wenyuan Pavilion who fainted in the side hall.
This came and went without a trace, and the style of beating people without killing the emperor has made the courtiers begin to wonder if this is a forced palace rebellion.
They can't figure out the secret affairs of the palace for the time being, but the two prime ministers have already vaguely understood that at least this matter is directed at the emperor, and the other party does not want the throne. In this way, it is not the courtiers who are in danger.
For the safety of the emperor, the entire capital was trapped at home, and no subject was happy.
What's more, in the court of the Qi Dynasty, there are basically no people who are truly loyal to the monarch and patriotism. They are for the sake of fame, and maybe there are a few who are really for the people. Anyway, after knowing the whole story, they will oppose the continued martial law in the capital.
- Can that kind of martial arts master catch it
When Meng Qi casually explained these situations one by one, and said that things would definitely develop as he expected, Mo Li was thoughtful, while Lu Min's eyes lit up.
"The eldest brother really did not see the wrong person." Lu Min said excitedly.
How could the throne be given to anyone casually? It must be that the former national teacher has something special, and moved the prince.
The second prince was immersed in his speculation and couldn't help but ask: "Meng Guoshi, do you really want to be emperor? I think you are very suitable."
Meng Qi: "..."
Ink carp: "… "
Longmai has never seen such a send to the country.
Look good, this is sending the country, not a bucket of rice, but sending it again and again, for fear that others will not accept it. The elder brother sent the younger brother to send it, and after this younger brother sent it, I wonder if the other younger brothers will insist on sending it.
Also, what misunderstanding does the second prince have about being the emperor? Can you be the emperor without any plans
Mo Li couldn't help asking, but Lu Min said in a plausible voice: "It is said that the emperor's mind is to balance the court, give favor and prestige, and play the courtiers with applause, so that they will serve the country willingly."
Hearing the words, Mo Li lowered his eyes and coughed lightly.
Meng Qi's mouth was slightly raised, as if he was about to sneer, but he seemed to recall something.
"I... Am I wrong?" Lu Min asked cautiously, touching the goosebumps that suddenly popped up.
Mo Li was silent for a while, and then asked: "If you were the courtier who was toyed with, what would you think?"
"Then it depends on whether the emperor is kind or not. If he behaves out of line, has a tyrannical temperament, and does not follow the law. I will feel resentful and try to fight against the emperor. From ancient times to the present, the emperor who is proficient in the emperor's mind has manipulated his ministers, and the wise ministers set The trap is for the emperor to step on, and it depends on which side has the most agile mind."
The second prince was discouraged when he said this. Obviously, he also knew that he could not be the one with the brightest mind.
Therefore, he has nothing to regret if he can't become an emperor, he just doesn't want the younger brother of the third emperor and the younger brother of the sixth emperor to be the emperor.
Meng Qi looked at the second prince and said slowly: "It is a common thing to fight for power in the court. The imperial power and the prime minister, as well as the faction between the ministers, will never stop. If you want to do The emperor, of course, must learn to use people's methods and learn how to deal with his subjects, which is the so-called imperial ingenuity. However, most of the imperial ingenuity admired by the emperors of the past dynasties is wrong for the country and for oneself. Just like the seizure of power in the court, they let go The first one is always yourself, not the people and the country. This 'self' is not about life and death, family and friends, ideals and aspirations. It refers to one's own preferences, one's thoughts, one's own interests, There is no touch. So a self-disciplined emperor, a group of courtiers with bottom lines, can rely on this to create a prosperous world. Once people change or their own ideas change, things will become uncontrollable. This is how many times I joined the WTO. I will tell you something that took ten years to realize, and think about it.”
Lu Min looked at a loss.
Although he didn't understand, he still tried his best to make an expression of admiration.
"Meng Guoshi, like this king's eldest brother, knows a lot."
"… "
Can there be a word not to bring the prince
What the hell did the prince do, to have such a father, and to have such a group of brothers who are not very smart
Mo Li rubbed his forehead, and he felt a little headache.
Although the second prince did not understand, but he was very curious, he bowed in a proper manner, made a gesture of humility to ask for advice, and asked earnestly: "Then according to the national teacher, how can we be a good emperor and a good prime minister? Can you do a bad job and I'll go up and fight?"
Lu Min thought so sincerely, he couldn't fight brains, but he could fight fists!
Meng Qi's expression suddenly froze, staring at Lu Min.
In fact, Longmai's fist is more powerful.
"... I heard that in ancient times, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were passed down from generation to generation, and sages and capable ministers could take over the position of emperors. Since sages can be made emperors, they should be expelled if they don't do well!"
Mo Li and Meng Qi fell silent at the same time.
The second prince's book is indeed not very good, because in fact the three emperors and five emperors are not "emperors", they are not emperors, they are just "tribal leaders". At that time, there were many tribes living in Huaxia. In order to survive, they needed to support each other, and also needed a common leader to deal with disputes among various tribes, allocate the only resources, and avoid disasters. Therefore, the tribal leaders are elected, and people with special prestige or those who are smart and fair are easy to sit in that position.
Due to the conflicts and interests between the tribes, it is impossible for this leader to appear in the same tribe continuously, and it is difficult to be the child of the previous leader, but an equally capable elder.
So Meng Qi thought about these things, but quickly skipped them, feeling inappropriate.
The emperor at that time was not the emperor, and the court was not the court.
The Zen system is related to that era, not because the system in the ancient times was better, nor because the king that came out of that system was more wise. Because there are far more than a few people who have been tribal leaders, it is just that these revered people are praised by future generations, and even continue to be deified, and this has become the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors", and in the classics compiled by later generations, the three emperors and five emperors are equal to the throne. , there is no change in life, until death, there is no such thing as expelling.
Lu Min, who read the book badly and had no reverence for the emperor, instead proposed a path that no one else could have imagined.
Meng Qi's eyes on the second prince were different.
"Doctor, you may be right."
Great wisdom is like a fool, great fool is like a wise, who said that a fool is useless
"The teacher once said that even people who don't know big characters may not be able to say something reasonable. The peasants in the fields may know the truth of the times better than the great scholars who have read poetry and books. Do things."
Lu Min didn't understand what Mo Li said, but he could roughly guess that it was a compliment.
The second prince touched his head and asked embarrassedly, "Then I can be the one who beats the emperor and the minister."
"no!"
Meng Qi refused expressionlessly.
"why?"
"How do you judge whether an emperor or a courtier is good or bad, do you listen to others? Will others deceive you? Do you see for yourself? What arrives may not be the truth." Meng Qi became interested, and began to talk to Lu Min about the example of the good governance implemented by the Chu Dynasty turned into resentment.
The second prince was dizzy. It was a good thing to only understand what happened, but it was not good for a villain to make trouble, and it was easy to be misunderstood by others.
"How can the common people do this? Is there no way the Chu Dynasty can deal with them? Can't we replace a group of common people who know likes and dislikes and can't follow others' words to help?"
"… "
Wake up, the emperor can't usurp the throne, the minister can't be demoted, where are you going to change a group of people
The second prince said frustratedly: "It seems that I can't beat the emperor and ministers. I can't even handle the common people."
Mo Li couldn't bear it, and was about to comfort him, but the second prince said again: "No wonder I have a bad reputation among the courtiers, and Meng Guoshi's reputation is even worse than mine. I originally thought that people like Meng Guoshi should be everyone. It's right to respect Qing Shi and keep his name, it turns out that the villain is in charge!"
"Wait what are you saying?" Meng Qi was surprised.
The current officials of the Qi Dynasty have never seen Meng Qi at all, they only know a few lines in the history books, and they are not Jin Yiwei, they were once scared to death by Meng Qi.
"Oh, that's right." The second prince said seriously, "There are a lot of monks and Taoists in Taijing. Every year, there are some so-called high-ranking and talented people who want to be national teachers. This time, the Qingwu ancestor seems to have the same plan. Since I invited him to kill the king, I naturally had to find out what the national teacher did, after all, I couldn't make random promises. So I went to check it, and I also asked the Hanlin lecturer and the bachelor. They said that the national teacher of the Xiliang Kingdom used to be The identity of the national teacher of the Chu Dynasty is mysterious, and he has no real achievements. Although he was a hero of the founding of the country, he did not get the title he deserved. Later, he had no power and power, and he was definitely a person with a false name. Therefore, Emperor Chu Yuan killed the hero. At that time, I didn't put this national teacher in my eyes at all, because it didn't matter."
Meng Qi's face turned black, and the second prince's voice became lower and lower, but he still insisted on completing the last sentence.
"... It was also said that the national teacher was a cowardly rat. When he saw that all his colleagues were dead, he abandoned the official and ran away, so he disappeared."
Lu Min said that he really thought that the national teacher was a useless title, so he easily promised to go out.
Meng Qi was already furious over there, and Lu Min was forced to retreat by the internal force floating on him.
"Who said, what are the names of the Hanlins who taught you to read?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Doctor Mo quickly grabbed the man, for fear that Meng Qi's condition would relapse.
"Wait, this is all..."
These are all the words of the second prince. Besides, even if it is true, those Hanlins are just prejudices. Seeing that there is no record in the history books, they speculate randomly according to their official theory.
Lu Min didn't simply report the names of those people, but asked tremblingly, "Meng Guoshi... What does the Guoshi do?"
"Steal all their food and leave only the Chinese cabbage!"
"… "
"No, martial law is about to be lifted, then steal their official robes and hats, plus underwear, jackets and shoes, I'll see how they go to court!"
Mo Li let go of his hand expressionlessly.
The author has something to say:
Meng Qi has recovered and will no longer be sick. When he is really sick, he wants to kill
Now is the normal state and normal reaction (shut up) Dr. Mo will thoroughly understand the difference between the two through this time.
as well as
The point of anger is not [a fake name], but [a cowardly rat], understand the anger of the fat rat
