Huangfu Taiming suddenly yelled, causing everyone in the audience to be astonished. Empress Jinfei even had a look of contempt flashing in her eyes, and An Zhongxin, who had been secretly stopping Huangfu Taiming, couldn't help sighing secretly, but was furious all the time Huangfu Jingde repeatedly, but a strange look flashed in his eyes for a moment, but it was covered by anger in an instant.
"Bold! You dare to stop my imperial decree. Are you going to resist the decree? Are you going to rebel?"
"My son dare not. My son speaks out to stop it, just so that the father and emperor will not break his promise to the world."
Huangfu Jingde roared angrily: "Fart! A dog slave laughed at the Son of Heaven, what was wrong with killing him, and how could I break my trust in the world? You can tell me clearly, if you say something wrong, then you will be punished like him..."
Everyone in the surroundings felt that the thirteenth prince had caused trouble to his upper body in vain, and his actions were extremely stupid. Even if he used clever words to force the emperor to take back his order, it was undoubtedly because of an irrelevant person who made the emperor unhappy. From a personal point of view, Huangfu Taiming's move is undoubtedly a self-destructive approach.
Huangfu Taiming knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "I want to report to my father, my son did not intend to disobey the emperor's prestige, but although this slave is rebellious, he is not guilty of death. Father often said: Heaven is orderly, humanity is orderly." Law, governing the country by law, the people know how to advance and retreat, this is the foundation of rejuvenating the country and the country. The father also said that the emperor broke the law and the common people are the same crime. In this way, he conveys to the world his father's determination and perseverance to rule the country by law. Today, the father Punishment of servants with personal anger is justifiable, but if they do not abide by the law, it already belongs to the abolition of the law by emotion. If this person dies, the world will say: the emperor often preaches the law, and the servants commit crimes, but they do not punish them according to the law. To dispose of this person at will with personal affection, although this person's death is not a pity, but with his death alone, he abolished his father's century-old plan to rule the country by law. Such an act is not done by a saint, and the loss outweighs the gain. Please think again Then decide."
Huangfu Taiming's face was covered with blood, but he ignored him, he argued hard, spoke convincingly, and his words were resounding. After he finished speaking, even Huangfu Jingde's angry expression gradually stabilized, he stroked his beard and didn't answer.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
At this time, An Zhongxin also knelt down and begged for mercy.
Seeing that An Zhongxin made such a statement, the eunuchs and court ladies around him immediately knelt down and shouted, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"
Huangfu Jingde remained silent, everyone knelt down and did not dare to move.
After a long while, Huangfu Jingde suddenly burst out laughing, spit on An Zhongxin all over his mouth full of blood, and said: "Okay, okay, I really have a good son, hum, what an excuse to serve the country and the people , What a big hat for dishonesty... Thirteen Lang, then tell me, if it is punished as a crime, what should this slave be guilty of?"
Huangfu Taiming replied in a deep voice: "Your disrespect, you will be punished with a stick for twenty, and your salary will be fined for three months."
Huangfu Jingde snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
An Zhongxin yelled at the two guards who didn't know what to do: "Didn't you hear His Majesty's order? The staff will be punished twenty times, and the salary will be fined for three months. Take it away..."
Then he glanced at Huangfu Taiming, sighed, and followed Emperor Jing'an out of the palace.
After the two walked out, the people inside did not dare to get up, because the master didn't say to be flat, even if these slaves knelt down and died here, they still couldn't get up.
Concubine Jin thought for a while, and Yingying chased after her in two steps, but when she reached the entrance of Gongwei, she stopped, frowned, waved her hand, and led her fellow guards, as well as several servants of Jingyang Palace, from Went out in the other direction.
The emperor did not order to be flattened, and this Concubine Jin was not in a good mood, so she deliberately did not send an order. In the originally lively octagonal pavilion, only Huangfu Taiming was left kneeling here, with a lonely back, still obstinately motionless .
…
In the imperial garden of Jingyang Palace, Emperor Jing'an and An Zhongxin walked slowly.
Leaving the octagonal pavilion, An Zhongxin winked and asked Huangfu Jingde to confirm that there were only the two of them by his side. He couldn't help but chuckled and asked slowly, "How was my performance just now?"
An Zhongxin laughed and said: "Your Majesty's acting skills are really vivid, but the body is still important, why bother..."
"Alas—" Emperor Jing'an waved his hand, and said confidently: "It's just a few teeth knocked out. If there is no such cruel trick, how can I let those people know that I am old and dying, and my life is not long? Huh, the more they are If you underestimate me, you will climb higher, and I will make them fall harder in the future!"
"It's just a pity that Uncle Zhexin..."
"Don't mention it... If there was no sacrifice, how could they get carried away? It's just that I didn't expect that they would be so vicious in their attacks, and they would target the fourteenth emperor uncle. It seems that they still want to use the fourteenth emperor uncle to see my reaction... Humph, since that's the case, I will do as they wish!"
An Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Then what does His Majesty mean...to show weakness to the enemy? Handle this matter roughly and let it go?"
Huangfu Jingde laughed twice, pointed at An Zhongxin's nose and said, "You old traitor, did you guess wrong on purpose to make it appear that I am smart?"
An Zhongxin quickly put on a distressed look, and said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty is still wise, and the old servant's flattery has been seen through by His Majesty again..."
Huangfu Jingde laughed out loud, with a rare joy, and then said in a low voice: "Showing the enemy to be weak? That is just a trick that children will believe... I am Huangfu Jingde, and I finally won it through patience. Zhuo Qingfan knows my character best. If I endure this matter, do you think they will feel at ease? Absolutely not. On the contrary, what I do will make those people become more cautious and cautious all the time. Guarded against me, thinking that I would do something in private.
So I absolutely can't let things go, but if I want them to continue to despise me and ignore me, I have to show my arrogance and madness to the enemy. They feel that I, Huangfu Jingde, are no longer a threat to them, so they will not easily discover my secret actions.
And the actions of a lunatic can make them avoid the edge temporarily, because they don't bother to compete with a lunatic, and they will wait for the day when the lunatic self-destructs. On the contrary, this will make many things easier for us , on the contrary, it can accomplish many things that ordinary people seem crazy and miraculous... "
This time, An Zhongxin praised sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise, and this old servant admires you so much."
This is the fact. Ordinary people always think that acting low-key is a good way to hide themselves. They don’t know that people in high positions can’t keep low-key. Sometimes they use another behavior to cover up, so that they can really hide their true thoughts. . The ancients used to pretend to be crazy and foolish to do this, but at this time, Huangfu Jingde used the stupidity of pretending to be crazy to hide his carefully calculated strategy.
Huangfu Jingde looked up to the sky and sighed, and said slowly: "How can I be considered wise? These words and arrangements were all said by that old treacherous Ji Guanglan back then... If it wasn't for his son who is greedy for sex, he leaked it passionately. Just a little bit of action, how could the old traitor be... Sigh, the old traitor was smart all his life, but in the end he failed to teach his son well, and ended up in complete defeat... "
At this time, An Zhongxin smiled and said: "Comparing this, His Majesty is wise, at least he can educate excellent princes..."
"Him?" Huangfu Jingde turned his head and glanced in the direction of the palace, snorted coldly, "The kindness of a woman!" But under his eyes, there was a hint of pride.
"Because of a little eunuch who insulted himself, he dared to contradict me and disregarded the position of the crown prince. If I was really a fool, the slightest crime would be to be demoted from the court. You said he would not worry about not getting this position? Or is it that he really has no desires and just doesn't care?"
An Zhongxin said: "The thirteen princes are utterly loyal, but it is true."
"The old thirteen indeed has ideals and ambitions. What's rare is that there is a righteousness in his heart. If the old thirteen becomes the emperor, he will be self-denying and devoted to the public. This kind of **, will not lose your mind in the position of power...
But he is too weak, the court is facing great changes, and the world is facing great chaos. A person who pays too much attention to feelings can easily become indecisive. Son of Heaven, it is better to be ruthless and ruthless. Otherwise, if there is too much emotion, what if his relatives break the law in the future? What if my son breaks the law? What if his brothers of the opposite sex broke the law? Is it better to punish the crime according to the law and suffer for a lifetime? Or is it better to bend the law for one's own selfishness? Back then, I kicked my second brother off the stage for the sake of the world. People in the world thought I was an ambitious man, and I was having fun alone here, but I didn't know that I had suffered a lifetime because of this same-sex rivalry... But a man, when faced with a choice, he must Go forward bravely in the direction he believes is right, regardless of whether it is the south wall or Nanshan blocking the way in front of him! Old thirteen, there is no such belief that there is no turning back! So, I won't put the future on him..."
Huangfu Jingde looked up at the sky and looked at the starry sky. After a while, he suddenly asked: "How about the sworn brothers of the old thirteen? Hmm... especially tell me about that naive boy Ye..."
An Zhongxin nodded, and said: "Ye Qingxuan and the fifth brother among his brothers, who is the disciple of Zen Master Ning Du, have arrived at the 'Wulin Holy Land'. The specific news has not been sent back. However, the news of the previous investigation has been confirmed. That kid did indeed send out martial arts at the Nanlong Mountain Villa celebration, and the rank of martial arts is not low, including the appearance of red-level martial arts. Now the whole martial arts world is rumored that Ye Qingxuan and others have won the 'bronze There are countless peepers of Dragon Tower's inheritance."
