have something to say

It is widely rumored that Xiao Jianshen is the world's first-class and good-looking man, but in fact the other party is the world's first-class and clean-spirited person.

It was widely rumored that Xiao Jianshen had planned to turn the world around in one fell swoop when he was thirteen years old, but in fact, the other party just passed by the house and went home to pick up a piece of clothing.

It was widely rumored that Xiao Jianshen was cruel and ruthless as Emperor Li, but if he really wanted to be ruthless, these messages might not be able to get out...

So Fu Ting Huan said: "Then you must have misunderstood the phrase 'blood flows into rivers in the middle of the capital' during your seventeenth court?"

Xiao Jianshen: "There is no misunderstanding about this matter."

Fu Tinghuan was taken aback for a moment: "Oh?"

Xiao Jianshen said: "At that time, among the masterminds, there were 13 people who died with the imperial staff, and 39 people who were beheaded and died at Caishikou. The relatives of all these people were not exiled into the army, nor entered the teaching workshop. He was sentenced to death for the crime of treason. Countless others were implicated." After a pause, he continued, "All of them are judged to be death. The Tianbo River in the suburbs of Beijing was indeed red for three days. The fact that blood flowed into a river should not be It's an exaggeration."

Fu Tinghuan didn't feel anything.He only had a little doubt: "Why? When you returned to Beijing at that time, the emperor had already been defeated by the empress, and you must have been able to secure the throne... To gain prestige? To eliminate dissidents?" He looked at Xiao Jianshen, feeling It seemed possible, and there seemed to be something wrong.

"Silly Tinghuan, how small do you think it is to measure the land and acres in the world? Can it be done quietly from beginning to end?" Xiao Jianshen said.

This was the first time Fu Tinghuan was called that, and he almost shivered.

But there is no need to worry about these details at the moment, he thought about it combined with Xiao Jianshen's words, and suddenly raised his head: "You mean—"

"That's right, those who knew about it back then have all entered the Netherworld. That's why this matter is a top secret that Heaven knows, Earth knows and I know." Xiao Jianshen said.After a few breaths, he suddenly said in a soft voice, "Those people back then were not all opposed to Gu Zhe. One of them was a teacher of the prince, and he also rejoiced for Gu Zhi's return to the court, and believed that Gu Zhe was a man of great responsibility..."

"However, the difference between Taoism lies here."

Three years ago again.

There is almost no difference between the 17-year-old Xiao Jianshen and the 20-year-old Xiao Jianshen.

The crown prince's guard of honor, the golden chariot, the clothes of the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, and his own guards all the way to ban the street, swaggering from the gate of the capital to the imperial palace in the inner imperial city.

There is no one on the throne in the middle, but there is a charming and dignified figure behind the curtain on the left.

Charming in the feminine curves, dignified in the queen's deep green clothes.

In front of all civil and military officials, the inner eunuch knelt down and presented all kinds of seals to Xiao Jianshen who came down from the carriage.

Xiao Jianshen was then promoted to the throne of the crown prince, and took over the crown prince's supervision of the country's seal.

Empress Luo retreated quietly behind the curtain, and there was still no one on the emperor's throne. From now on, all officials will bow their heads here, and the world will surrender under their feet.

And the first thing Xiao Jianshen did that became widely known to the world was the "Corruption of Beijing Officials" that involved a lot after March and was even now ridiculed by literati and ordinary people in poems or nursery rhymes. case", among which the most embarrassing one is the prince and emperor's teacher who was killed with a stick of corruption.

It was hot and stuffy in May.This is the third day when the "fraud case" broke out suddenly.On this day, the emperor's teacher and Xiao Jianshen were compared to the imperial study in the palace.

The emperor teacher is a middle-aged gentleman. He was not the only teacher Xiao Jianshen had when he was young, but he was the only one who insisted on writing a lesson plan and homework every three months after Xiao Jianshen returned to the imperial court halfway and re-entered the rivers and lakes at the age of 13. Send it to Xiao Jianshen's teacher remotely.

Over the years, Xiao Jianshen also respected the other party very much, and to some extent agreed with the other party's proposition.

But on the matter of land, their differences could not be reversed.

"Your Highness," the man standing behind Xiao Jianshen said in a deep voice, "If you want to do this, you will become an enemy of the world! The civil and military men of the dynasty, the landlords of the world, will only devote themselves to fighting against you from now on You tell them to ruin their homes and lose their wealth, and they can twist together to deal with you together! One person cannot compete with the whole world. As a ruler, one should think about the principles of boats and water, make the best use of the situation, and clear the blockages. Only then is governing the country way."

"Teacher's statement is absurd." Xiao Jianshen said, "Civil and military officials and landlords are certainly water, but they are just a drop in the ocean; does the teacher also think that this part of the people occupies as much land in the world as they occupy? What is the specific gravity of water?"

"However, what do ordinary people who don't know how to read or write know etiquette?" The emperor argued fiercely, "I don't object to His Highness dealing with some of them, and I don't object to His Highness's grand wish to finally return the land to the people, but His Highness must not It’s too hasty, the result of Emperor Yang’s construction of the Grand Canal in the past, the history of the pen is solid, can’t Your Highness not learn any lessons?”

Xiao Jianshen turned around.

The moonlight illuminates his face.That face is like the moon in the sky, like the snow on the mountain.

"Does the teacher think that the people are disgusting because of their ignorance?" he asked.

The emperor cupped his hands: "I have no such intentions. However, the ignorance of the people always makes them easy to be used by others. What your highness should do is not to show mercy blindly, but to guide them to correct; your highness's urgent task is not to blindly show mercy. And standing on the opposite side of the entire civil and military court, but turn the civil and military court into your own arms and hands, so that you can move the world."

Xiao Jianshen smiled slightly.

"Why didn't the teacher look at Gu's face when he said this? Did the teacher remember the opening chapter he wrote when he first assigned Gu's homework?"

"The misfortune of the party is endless, and the days of party disputes are endless; the art of balance is the emperor's mind."

"The teacher said that Gu felt too much pity for the common people, so that he lost his decision... The heart of Gu is actually not like this. People are no different from weeds in the heart of Gu, and officials and landlords are no different from vines in the heart of Gu. If weeds entangle Binding the body of the vines makes the vines fall to the ground, and the weeds should be killed; if the vines snatch the vitality of the weeds and make themselves fat, the vines should be killed. Gu agrees with the teacher's words, the art of balance is the art of the emperor's mind. The teacher has not seen the way of balance that agrees with Gu .”

The emperor was speechless, and said after a while: "Your Highness still remembers this sentence... I almost forgot."

"Since the reign of the state, despite internal and external troubles, civil servants still have enough power. As the teacher said, if Gu does not make some compromises with them, it will be difficult for government orders to even come out of Beijing. Scholars have the same class and a teacher. If a scholar who passed the imperial examination dares not care about the same class and the teacher, he should be criticized and scolded. So of course they are in a line." Xiao Xiao Jian Shen paused, "If this matter can be done with a little compromise, I will not be afraid to compromise with the Manchao one or two. But if this matter is really going to be done, there must be no further compromise. Teacher, there is no need to persuade."

At this time, Geng Ye was deep and silent.

The emperor standing in front of Xiao Jianshen was silent for a moment, then put Wusha on his head and said, "I don't agree with this matter."

Xiao Jianshen's eyes fell on the emperor's face.

King and minister, teacher and apprentice.

He said: "Teacher, you should know that since Gu has made this decision, he will not tolerate those who know the matter and harbor objections."

The emperor said: "I know."

Xiao Jianshen asked again: "Has the teacher changed his mind?"

The emperor said: "I have a few more words."

Xiao Jian was silent for a while, then nodded: "Say."

"First, my minister and Your Highness are not of the same path. However, none of the words I said tonight is for myself. I am worried about the stability of the country. The minister is worthy of the heaven and the earth, and the subordinate is worthy of Li Shu. Your Highness, please leave the names of the former and the later. .”

Xiao Jianshen said: "Yes. Under the court staff, he is an honest minister."

"Second, the family of the minister, please give me a glass of poisoned wine, Your Highness, and go on the road together with the minister."

Xiao Jianshen said, "Yes."

"Thirdly, I remonstrate with my life to death, if your highness encounters danger in the future because of this, remembering my humble life and being able to stop in the middle way, I will smile at Jiuquan; To accomplish this...the minister also smiled at Jiuquan."

Xiao Jianshen: "... Yes."

then.

The guards in the palace entered and dragged him out of the steps in front of the hall, and then someone who was in charge of the imperial staff stepped forward and lowered him with the staff.

The sound of heavy beating was heard far away in the night, and after a few strokes, the flesh was bloody.

Xiao Jianshen stood in front of him.

A drop of blood cut through the night and splashed onto his eyelashes.

As soon as he closed his eyes, blood beads rolled down from his eyes.

This year, the flowers of May pomegranate are like fire, and it has become popular in several buildings in the capital.

Fu Tinghuan looked at the man in front of him.

He suddenly understood why the other party was merciful and cruel.

He pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "Your reputation was attacked and wiped out by everyone because of the incident at that time, and it became what you are today."

"Not bad." Xiao Jianshen said.

"And you don't care, because these are like dust and grass, and cannot shake your rock-like progress." Fu Tinghuan said again.

Xiao Jianshen expressed his approval with silence.

"It's a pity that the world doesn't know what you have done. Is it ridiculous that the person who should live and die for you call you like Emperor Yang and Li Di?" Fu Tinghuan asked.

"I didn't do the first thing out of pity, and I don't need to do the last thing out of reward." Xiao Jianshen said.

"...Yes." Fu Tinghuan said so, "You are just because of the way of balance."

He pondered again: "The rumors about your male sex should have started since then. This is three people becoming a tiger, so it is conclusive."

"That's right, loneliness is not manly." Xiao Jianshen replied, but after saying this, he looked at the person in front of him, but suddenly paused.

This subtle point did not attract Fu Tinghuan's attention.At this time, Fu Tinghuan only smiled and said: "Oh? Your Highness has been rumored for so long, so it's really wrong—" He looked at Xiao Jianshen, and asked, "Any man, is there any interest?"

The voice in the palace was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand.

Breathing, heartbeat, everything is frozen and fixed at this moment.

Then these were broken by a voice, it was Xiao Jianshen's voice: "...Gu only had a fling with a man once."

The smile on Fu Tinghuan's lips melted like ice and snow.

Then he heard Xiao Jianshen say again: "That's one of the dozen or so spies in Gu's harem, Gu doesn't want to get into it now."

The smile that just melted snow has not bloomed because of the spring breeze, and it withers again.

Fu Tinghuan looked at Xiao Jianshen firmly.

After a while, he gave a soft "huh".
