"Oh, Your Highness, I can't run anymore. Please slow down."
"You're still a man, hurry up!"
In the three sentences, everyone heard the voices of the two women, but couldn't tell them apart. Who is the man in the sentence 'You are a man'
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, until they reached the door, but the warriors of the Golden Temple at the door did not stop them at all.
A fragrant wind swirled, and two beautiful shadows entered the hall like two agile swimming fish.
I saw the wind blowing under the feet of the two women, passing through many courtiers and entering the center of the hall.
The one with slender legs, who likes to wear red clothes, and the six-petalled plum blossom on the snow forehead, is the emperor's second daughter, Li Hongzhuang, the princess of red makeup. The other one who was wearing a blue military military uniform with a cute look on his face was naturally Su Xiao.
The princess was very clever, she stopped when she said it, and she shook her body like a bamboo in the wind to dissipate the energy when she came. Bow down to the front.
"My son Li Hongzhuang, I have seen the father, the queen."
Princess Hongzhuang is not from the Empress, her mother is someone else, so she is only called the Empress and not the Empress.
But the princess bowed in such a fluttering manner that she took care of herself and her graceful posture, but she did not take care of Su Xiao who came with her.
Su Xiao's martial arts are far inferior to that of Princess Hongzhuang. Just now, the princess galloped lightly, but Su Xiao came here half-holding the princess's slim waist. The princess stopped abruptly, but Su Xiao continued to charge forward.
It happened to fly towards Zhang Shangshu, who was still eloquent.
"Therefore, Your Majesty, if you don't know what to do... ouch!"
Su Xiao bumped into Zhang Shangshu's old waist impartially, Zhang Shangshu screamed, and the two instantly turned into gourds.
Su Xiao rolled a few laps, and finally found that the place he was in was quite soft, and said happily: "Huh? I'm fine!"
"Old, old man has something to do..."
"Who are you, old man?"
Zhang Shangshu refused to lose his character in front of the juniors, his face was red and his neck was thick and he said: "Old man Zhang, Chun..."
Su Xiao tilted his head: "Your name is Chun? Isn't it nice?"
"Who is Chun, the old man's name is Zhang Chunfeng, but..."
Su Xiao interrupted: "But grandpa, you are so old, why are you still standing in the room?"
"Because the old man is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials... You are a minister! Come down, the old man's waist is flashing!!"
Chapter 13 Killing and Not Killing (Part 2)
The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. Against this teacher Zhang, he had never been able to argue and win since he was a child. Teaching Su Xiao and his daughter interrupted, just to give him a chance to breathe.
The emperor saw the opportunity and shouted: "He Fang Xiaoer! Dare to make a noise on the golden hall! Take it left and right!"
The Golden Temple warriors on both sides immediately took Su Xiao aside, and several courtiers immediately helped the old minister up. Zhang Shangshu is in his 60s, but his body is quite tough, and Su Xiao bumped into it just now and it hurts, but now he is much better.
The emperor did not recognize Su Xiaolai, but pretended to be the princess' playmate.
"Hong'er, you are so nonsense. The main hall is actually joking. Why did you bring your friends here?"
Princess Hongzhuang hurriedly said: "Reporting to the emperor, it's not the son's mischief. This is Mr. Su Xiaosu, and he is a hundred households in six doors. Today, he was ordered to enter the palace. The son and Su Baihu met by chance on the street today. , I saw that I was on the same road with Su Baihu, so I came together."
Only then did the emperor remember who this Su Xiao was. He called Su Xiaolai today for recognition, not for punishment.
"Su Xiao, do you know who you bumped into just now?"
Su Xiao was caught and panicked.
"That, that... an old grandpa?"
The emperor almost didn't laugh.
"Yes, it's an old grandfather. But this old grandfather has done a lot for the country. He has been diligent all his life and sleeps at night, just so that the court can have one more good official and the people can have one more trustworthy and honest official. This old man had a garden full of peaches and plums in his life, and even I was his student. But he was an honest official and was poor all his life, so far he has no money to buy a good official sedan chair. Even I wanted to reward him many times, but he was strict with him. Rejected. This is the current Minister of Personnel Zhang Chunfeng, Mr. Zhang... a high-ranking official."
Su Xiao didn't understand until he heard the last sentence.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! Please don't blame me!"
"No wonder, you didn't do it on purpose."
Zhang Shangshu waved his hand, and then said to the emperor: "The emperor has praised me wrongly. This old minister can't afford such a lot of burdens."
Zhang Shangshu's voice finally fell, and his eyes turned hard again: "It's just that the bones of this old minister can be dissipated, but the administration of officials cannot be disbanded! The Orange King must be killed to set an example! If not, the old man would have no face to face the previous emperor, and he would rather give up the court to show it. indignation!"
The thing that the emperor was most afraid of still happened. He had thought about this situation countless times, but he was still helpless. This old Shangshu is full of peaches and plums. If he takes the lead in resisting, I am afraid that it will lead to a situation in which all officials are dismissed from the court. But I also know Zhang Shangshu's temperament, the standard scholar character, and he will fight to the end if he recognizes a reason. There is no wiggle room.
The situation froze like this, the emperor was speechless, and Zhang Shangshu knelt down while lifting his robe.
"Please make an decree to kill the sinner Li Chengzhi!"
"… "
Su Xiao stood between Zhang Shangshu and the emperor, seeing the tense air between them, he couldn't help but interject: "Grandpa, do you want the emperor to decree to kill His Royal Highness King Orange?"
Zhang Shangshu raised his neck like a pine and cypress: "Not bad!"
"Well... But the emperor is so pitiful."
Zhang Shangshu followed Su Xiao's words and looked at the emperor. The emperor's eyes were red, and his body couldn't stop shaking. If the emperor is a foolish monarch, this situation will definitely not occur. In order to save his unfilial son, he could have sinned against the ministers, and even replaced the ministers with those who could say what he liked to hear. But this would break the administration of officials, and the emperor knew the consequences of doing so. He couldn't give up the results of the previous emperors' efforts for his son, and he couldn't give up the people's livelihood.
These days, for the life and death of the Orange King, there has been a lot of quarrel in the court, and the emperor is already exhausted. If he was a dazed prince, he wouldn't even have to quarrel at all.
Zhang Shangshu's heart softened, and he said lightly: "What do you know as a child? This is where the righteousness lies, how can you ignore it."
Su Xiao couldn't help but said again: "I don't really understand complicated things. But my mother and elder brother Ming often say that things can't be seen on the surface, and the rebellion of the Orange King is true. But I always feel that he doesn't seem to have it either. What a loss."
"No big loss?" Zhang Shangshu frowned, "Let's not say anything else, it's just that the ministers were poisoned..."
"But none of you seem to have died."
"Crash!"
"But the emperor is still there, and the emperor seems to want to forgive him."
"And those hundreds of lives! Fresh soldiers of the Imperial Army!"
Su Xiao said: "Isn't that what the people who killed the alliance did? I heard that the boss of Mingtu ordered the killing, not His Royal Highness Orange King. I heard that His Royal Highness Orange King ordered the killing when everyone could not resist. The killers were not allowed to move alone. So it seems that few people were injured in the end."
Zhang Shangshu was suddenly at a loss for words by Su Xiaobian. Su Xiao's thoughts are simple, he just says whatever comes to his mind. He even taught him to overthrow Zhang Shangshu, who was eloquent at the time.
The emperor thought to himself: Why didn't I think of this, Cheng'er really didn't do much killing... This child Su Xiao has a simple mind, but he sees it clearly.
