Jiang Heng obviously didn't want to let Juicong go so easily. He knew that for a long time to come, he would be both a monarch and an opponent. He admired this opponent and knew that if Ju Cong thought about it clearly, he would become angry.
"As the saying goes, peace is good." Jiang Heng calmly faced the crowd and said, "I also have a few words to say."
"What kind of peace do you have?" Prince Taki said slowly.
The Yong people were the most profitable and best-treated group of people in the Yong Kingdom. Prince Taki really wanted to know what kind of peace the people of the clan could have.
Jiang Heng said: "It's too much to say. My family of six people, let me tell you where they went. First, my grandfather, who repaired the canal for Dayong, died. According to Dayong's law, men over fifty-five years old , you have to be supported by your descendants at home, and you have to support yourself, otherwise you will be wasting the country's food."
Lu Ji was a little stunned. This law was made by him according to Juicong's instructions.
"Where's your grandmother?" Jiang Heng said, "I know, after my grandfather died, there was no news about my grandmother. I heard that she went to Shanyin City, and then went to the mountain by herself to wait for her death. Flowers, not only do needlework, but also labor, and more importantly, they need to be supported."
Jiang Heng added: "My father was a carpenter who made the spokes of the carriage for Dayong. My mother gave birth to my brother and I, a family of four, and we could barely get by. But one day, when my father was working, he was very sloppy. The spy who had a grudge filed a lawsuit, accusing him of having his tongue gouged out on the grounds of 'arbitrarily discussing the state's political affairs'."
Juicy Cong: "… "
"There are 1,148 secret agents in the city," Jiang Hengdao said. "He is the eyes and ears of the imperial court. Among the bureaucrats who see the sun in secret, they are called 'Xinliao', and they are dispatched everywhere. The spies of various countries are actually monitoring the common people. If the common people want to discuss government affairs, they should do it..."
"There is no reason for you to discuss politics!" Ju Cong finally got angry, and his voice became a little louder, "The letter box in the palace is for the people of Yong people! You can submit letters if you have any peace!"
Wei Zhuo said in a deep voice: "What my king has banned is the absurd words that the people can distinguish between right and wrong, make sense, and deceive people's hearts!"
"Oh." Jiang Heng nodded and said, "If you listen to it, it will be bright, and if you believe in partiality, it will be dark. After reading the letter box, I heard that no one has posted a letter for a long time?"
After such a reminder, Ju Cong also wanted to come and looked at Prince Taki.
Prince Taki said frankly: "That's right. There are three people in the East Palace who have never received a letter."

"In short, my father may have said it, maybe not." Jiang Hengdao said, "Of course, I think he has always been open-minded, and if he was convicted for his words, he would be guilty of death. Who let him talk about the defeat of the Yubi Pass? As Lord Chaozhong said, the common people said it."
Juicong held back his anger, facing Jiang Heng, but he seemed to be facing the cotton under pressure, and he found a place.
Ju Ling suddenly burst into laughter, as if she thought this scene was extremely ironic.
Laughter is like slapping everyone's face. Jiang Heng said again: "But my father is dead, what should I do? According to the law of Dayong, my mother must remarry, because Yong Kingdom needs people. People are like firewood, so naturally the more the better. My mother was still able to give birth, so she was sent to Da'an City and married. I didn't see the face of my stepfather."
Guan Wei sneered, but he didn't know who the voice was aimed at.
"My brother and I are left." Jiang Heng replied, "My brother wants to join the army and support us both."
Geng Shu looked at Jiang Heng silently, Jiang Heng said: "I want to go to study and learn to read. But ah, my life is up to someone, it's up to me. There are people coming from the Young Master's house. It stands to reason that the Young Master's house must be The two of me have to be inspected and sent to the army to become soldiers, or to study and read in a school.”
"Of course, there are many scholars," Jiang Heng said, "because in our Dayong, it is good to read a lot of books, and it is easy to go wrong ways. Pull people into groups, form parties for personal gain, manipulate public opinion, smear the court, and incite. Rebellion. Say what you should say, and say what you should say nonsense, but I heard that if you study, you can become an official, and my life has become the same. There is a saying that 'everything is a scholar', But why does Gongqing's family let their children study? It must be good to want to study, but the character of the scholar must be good, and the talent should be used where it should be used."
These words were simply a slap in the face to everyone present. Prince Taki had a sad look in his eyes, and Ju Cong exhausted all his self-restraint, so he didn't attack on the spot.
This rule was formulated by Juicong himself, because Juicong is the master of martial arts and the minor of literature. , but secretly knows how many dirty things there are.
Where there are many scholars, there will be more disputes, criticizing each other, plotting tricks, all kinds of frame-ups, and getting caught in a war of tongues, which is very dangerous.
But even if Juicong himself likes it, he still has to admit that his son needs to work hard to study, and the descendants of ministers and ministers must also practice Wen Tao. This is a dead end.
"But ordinary people want to send their children to study," Jiang Heng took a step forward and said mysteriously, "It's money, money. Money can buy the Shaofu's house, send a child to school, and it costs 12 taels of gold, my brother. I have the idea of going to study, where will the money come from?"
Jiang Heng sighed again and said slowly: "So I went to Baigongliang, and my brother went to work as a laborer, delivering supplies for the Yong Army. In this lifetime, I will be a sacrifice for the country, and labor like a sacrifice. It's not bad to be born and raised like an animal, that's all."
"Are you finished?" Juicong's voice contained anger.
"I'm a Zheng person." Jiang Heng said.
Everyone: "… "
Inside the Liuhua Hall, the officials never expected that Jiang Heng would still be there! The next paragraph is the highlight of Jiang Heng today. In face of all the accusations, the past is a foreshadowing.
"What did Zhengren keep me from?" Juicong's tone became polite, but it was the tranquility of the storm coming, revealing a dangerous meaning.
"How did the people of Zheng take care of His Majesty the King?" Jiang Heng said in surprise, "I will be your future citizen. You are coming to rule me. Did I hear it wrong?"
Juicong was immediately speechless. Jiang Heng said again: "I heard that His Majesty Wang has obtained the golden seal, I think after a long time, he will command his army to rule the world and come to rescue us. All the people of Shenzhou are eagerly waiting, just waiting for King Yong to release the people and save Li Shu. In fire and water!"
Juicong didn't answer and stared at Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng turned around again, facing the ministers, and said, "I am also a representative, a native of Ying, and a native of Liang. Fourteen, the important ministers of my country, the assassins sent by King Yong, have all killed in one fell swoop."
"In this world," Jiang Heng said slowly, "Come on, I'm going to change my surname to Yong again. Dynasties change, rise and fall, and many things are really something my people should worry about. If you can worry about your own life, Just lucky…”
"...It's just," Jiang Heng said, narrowing his eyes and measuring the juice, "Recently, I have heard a few rumors that Fengrong people, Linhu people, Di people, Yong people... There are too many, too many people. It’s really shocking and empathetic.”
"On the day when King Yong's iron cavalry goes south," Jiang Heng shook his head regretfully, "I really say yes, if he is king, it will be death or life in the future. I think, maybe he is indeed the emperor of Shenzhou, but Shenzhou Unification is tied to his martial power and succumbed to the face of swords and soldiers. But there is neither a dynasty that lasts forever, nor an emperor who lives forever. son and grandson.”
"Who are you still?"
In the silence, the juice Cong opened.
Jiang Heng took off the three masks, placed them side by side, and said earnestly, "I am from Fengrong, from Linhu, from Di, and from Yong."
He walked up, put the mask on with both hands, and placed it on Juicong's desk.
"...I am also a native of Zheng, a native of Liang, a native of Ying, and a generation." Jiang Heng took three steps back, "I bow to Jin Xi, the orthodox king of the world, and the emperor Juicong."
"I am from the world." Jiang Heng knelt down on the ground.
"Just ask the Son of Heaven not to disappoint the people of the world. The Son of Heaven is the father of the world, and the people are your children."
This move instantly wiped out Juicong's anger completely, and all Jiang Heng's ridicule, sarcasm, and anger pouring out on him were completely dissipated under the title of "Son of Heaven".
Jiang Heng officially admitted that he could hold the golden seal. This admission was enough to offset the scolding against him. This became a matter of the common people talking to the emperor, not scolding the king for his incompetence.
At the same time, Juicong also reminded Jiang Heng of the most important thing. He wants to be the emperor and unify the five countries. He can only be a benevolent ruler. He has no choice. with their own children.
"Come here." Juicong sighed and said lightly.
Jiang Heng straightened his robes, shrugged his body, raised his head, looked at Juicong, and smiled.
"The solitary king promises you that what you said today will definitely..."
The moment Juicong met Jiang Heng's gaze, he suddenly became silent.
Jiang Heng knew that his plan had worked, he not only pointed out Juicong's mistakes, but also saved Juicong's face. Geng Shu, who was sitting next to Juicong, was also relieved. Along the way, Jiang Heng asked him a lot about Juicong's behavior, and he grasped his character accurately and knew how to make him willing to think about his own mistakes.
At this moment, Ju Cong's expression became very strange, and one hand was trembling under control.
"Your Majesty?" Jiang Heng raised his eyebrows.
Juicong narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something.
"Father?" Prince Takiyama reminded.
Juicong's breathing became rapid, and just for a moment, he thought he had seen a ghost - a ghost wandering in Luoyan City!
He forgot what he was going to say, stared straight at Jiang Heng for a moment, until Jiang Heng took out a booklet in his arms and put it on the desk.
Prince Taki took it and said, "Did you write this?"
"I'm in the middle of this," Jiang Heng said, "the characters I wrote down along the way, no matter how big or small, can be used for recreation by Your Highness."
"You've worked hard, go and rest." Ju Cong finally spoke, but his eyes still stayed on Jiang Heng's face, as if to find some kind of clue in his eyes and smile.
Jiang Heng then bowed to retreat and left Liuhua Hall.
Ju Cong didn't give an order, all the ministers dared to go, but the queen mother left first.
The ministers thought that Ju Cong still had something to say, so they all waited quietly, waiting for a stick of incense.
Juicong said, "It's gone."
