In the big hunting tent, the princes returned with their prey in twos and threes.

The third prince stuttered a bit, offered a bunch of living things, and stammered: "My son, my son can't bear to kill..."

Emperor Jinglong waved his hand to signal him to step back, glanced coldly at the vacant seat of the crown prince, and said to his uncle Tian Liyi who was driving beside him: "Mencius said that 'no injury' is a benevolent technique. A gentleman is like a beast, and he can't bear to see it alive. Seeing his death, hearing his voice, he couldn't bear to eat his meat, and asked the gentleman to stay away from the kitchen—but when it comes to eating meat, he pays attention to not cutting it properly and not eating it." He sneered, "Humans are more ruthless than animals."

The third prince retreated to the side, his face turned red when he heard this, and he almost fainted.

Tian Liyi, who was always flattering, was a little restless at the moment, and didn't answer for a while.

"The emperor's words are wrong." Unexpectedly, the next person was annoyed. It turned out to be the prince Xima Fang Ao who was standing behind the prince's seat.

He is a civil servant, not good at martial arts, not good at riding and shooting, so he didn't follow him.

Fang Ao learned Confucian righteousness. Hearing Emperor Jinglong's words, he degraded the sage and the sub-sage to the point of insinuating the crown prince. Ruthlessness is to preserve a gentleman's compassionate heart."

Emperor Jing Long frowned at him, held his wine glass and sneered, but didn't interrupt, to see what this sour scholar could say.

Standing in front of hundreds of kings and grandsons, Fang Ao was not afraid to refute Emperor Jinglong in public, and he was full of air, "People are not born to be cruel. There are many people with exquisite martial arts, but when they killed someone for the first time, their hands trembled. Now that you practice for a long time, you won’t be afraid anymore.”

Fang Ao held his head high and his chest upright, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and what he guards against is the word 'gradual'. What the emperor said seems to imply that Confucianism is suspected of hypocrisy—but he doesn't know the difference between 'hypocrisy' and 'goodness'." , there is no clear boundary between Wei and Wei, and it is just a word of "gradual". Therefore, Xunzi said that human nature is evil, and those who are good are false."

What Fang Ao said is not unreasonable, but it is completely opposite to the "Tao" that Emperor Jinglong has upheld for decades.

Emperor Jinglong was an iron-blooded emperor who had fought all over the world on horseback. He had personally conscripted several times and led millions of soldiers. He had seen the most cruel scenes in the world. The means of the world.However, if a person who wants to rule the world believes in a theory that is intended to govern the people and regards it as the truth, in Emperor Jinglong's view, he is stupid.

"Son kills father, minister kills king, it doesn't happen overnight, the reason for it is gradual." Fang Ao's words resounded loudly.

Hearing this last sentence, Emperor Jing Long changed his face, put down his wine glass, and stared at him.

Except for Emperor Jing Long and Fang Ao, everyone bowed their heads and held their breath.

In the big tent with hundreds of people, there was a cough and panting, so quiet that one could hear a needle drop to the ground.

Emperor Jing Long held back and didn't have an attack. After a while, he said indifferently: "You're good at learning." His eyes moved away from Fang Ao's face without emotion, and looked at the returning princes - they were huddled at the door of the tent, huddled in a dignified manner inside. The atmosphere made him dare not move lightly.

"They're all back?" Emperor Jing Long asked, his face softened, and he smiled: "Come in, and show me what you got. No kidding, whoever wins the first prize will take the hard-earned BMW back..." He After a pause, "Where are the crown prince and Xiao Shiqi?"

The sixteenth prince, Yong Yi, watched his nose, nose, and heart, and stood firmly behind, not seeing anything strange.

The Ninth Prince Yongjue grabbed his Fifth Brother's sleeve from below, winked, and asked in a low voice: "Have you got it?"

The fifth prince Yong Dan pulled his hand away, not knowing why, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing nonsense? Your father is watching!"

"What are you talking about? Tell me to listen too."

Ninth Prince Yongjue smiled and said: "Go back to Father, it's nothing - my son saw a flying insect lying on Fifth Brother's cuff, and it has already flown away..." He also shouted: "Since it is a competition, there should always be a time limit. This time-out Those who don't return, even if they hunt the most, they can't be counted as the top prize, father."

Emperor Jing Long frowned and told the leader of the Habayashi guards, "Jiang Hua, take the two teams to have a look."

Seeing that it was already dusk, Emperor Jing Long didn't wait any longer, took the sixteenth prince Yong Yi as the first prize, and bestowed on him the sweat-blooded BMW.

When Jiang Hua brought someone back, he had a serious face and whispered a few words in Emperor Jinglong's ear.

Emperor Jing Long's complexion turned pale in an instant, he pressed down on the imperial case suddenly, sat stiff for a while, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes shot straight at Yongzhu like a sharp arrow.

Ninth Prince Yongjue was stared at by this gaze, and felt his calf go weak.

However, Emperor Jinglong looked away in an instant. He chatted and laughed with the princes of the Jin clan as usual, and then said: "After a whole day of excitement, I am exhausted. I think you are also tired. Let's leave first." Waiting for everyone After retreating, he said to Jiang Hua: "You lead two teams of Yulin guards here, and send someone to the old general Qin, asking him to bring [-] soldiers and horses from the old capital, and come here overnight..." He narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and put The idea of ​​asking Han Yue to raise troops to serve the king was dispelled-not yet.

All the princes returned to Wanhe Songfeng Palace Group, each looking for his own residence.

The fifth prince Yong Dan went back to the house and took off his boots, sat on the edge of the kang, and was served by the servants to soak his feet in hot water. The side concubine Jiang asked him gently and kindly if he had a good time hunting today.

He used to love this Jiang family very much, but now he was upset and waved her to go down first.

Jiang Shi was petted and out of temper, seeing that he was only absent-minded after coaxing for a long time, twisted his waist, and without waiting for the maid to do anything, he lifted the curtain and went out.

Something must have happened to the crown prince and the seventeenth brother.

In the big tent, after hearing Jiang Hua's secret report, his father's face turned pale for a moment.

What made the fifth prince Yongdan shudder was the look that the father shot straight at Lao Jiu when he raised his head - and the question that Lao Jiu pulled his sleeve before and asked "Did you succeed?".

Originally it was just the old nine messing around, but when you think about it, it's really scary to death.

"Wang Gui hasn't come back yet?" The fifth prince Yong Dan was in a state of confusion, and sent a eunuch named Wang Gui beside him to inquire about the news, but he didn't come back for a long time.In the end, the small path is still handy - but I don't know where the small path has gone to drill the sand at the moment, and I will have to teach him a lesson when I come back.

The fifth prince Yong Dan was thinking about one thing and another, when he heard the guard outside say: "Fifth Master, Ninth Master has come to see you."

"Let's just say I'm asleep—" Fifth Prince Yongdan saw the Ninth Prince Yongjue push the door open and enter before he could finish speaking through the window.

The guards followed behind with embarrassment and worry, pleading guilty: "The little one didn't stop..."

"Okay, my fifth brother, after using up my younger brother, he will disappear behind closed doors, right?" Yong Zhuo broke through Yong Yan's lie, and his face was a little bit hesitant, and he sneered strangely.

"You guys go down first." Yong Dan dismissed the people below, picked up a white towel to wipe his feet, and said with a smile: "I really didn't mean to avoid you—look at my feet, I'm really going to sleep, After running in the paddock for a whole day, my bones were about to break. Just now, Mrs. Jiang rubbed against me for a long time, and I sent it away..." As he spoke, he got up and approached Yongzhu.

Suddenly there was a loud thunderstorm outside, and the sky suddenly darkened.

The rain came strangely.

"Why are you pretending, fifth brother, in front of me?" Yongjue sneered, "It was inconvenient to talk in the big tent just now, so I should give my younger brother a confession now, so that I can figure it out."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Yongjiu sneered again, staring at Yongdan, hissed like a poisonous snake: "The prince can be removed?"

A bolt of lightning strikes straight down, and the light penetrates through the window paper and hits Yongzhu's face, winding and terrifying.

Yong Tan was so startled that he took a step back and hit the edge of the Kang, almost stepping on the footwashing water underneath, "When did I do such a thing?"

"Didn't my elder brother want me to end up as a crown prince so that I could get rid of it and replace him?"

"When did I do such a thing?!" Yong Tan's voice was so anxious that his legs softened and he sat down on the kang.

"It was Xiaoluzi who was next to my brother who passed it on personally..." Yongjiao was taken aback suddenly, "What about others? Why didn't you follow you today?"

When the two brothers looked at each other, they both realized something.

He heard someone rushing towards the room in the rain, knocked open the door with a "bang", and said in a trembling voice, "Fifth Master! Xiao Luzi is dead!"

Wang Gui knelt down beside the footbasin covered in rain, and said incoherently: "There are several layers of Habayashi troops around the forest, and even a bird can't fly through it. The servant saw Xiaoluzi from a distance, and everyone was mad. Fished from Saihan Lake—”

"Did someone see you?" Yong Dan asked urgently.

"...No, no, the slave remembered what the master told me, and hid from people to look at it - I didn't dare to look closely, and I didn't dare to ask, no one saw the slave..."

"Very good, but have you seen anything else?"

"It's gone, there are Habayashi guards everywhere, I'm afraid I'll be seen..."

"Go down. Don't tell anyone about tonight's affairs."

There are only two brothers Yong Dan and Yong Qiao left in the room.

Yongjiu said: "Are we being fooled by others?" He suddenly became excited, "No matter who set up the trick, the crown prince is probably dead this time, among the remaining princes, except fifth brother, father Who else can I choose?"

Yong Dan was taken aback in horror, the excitement that he expected to rule the world did not come, but he stared at Yong Jiu, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"Fifth Brother, don't you think so?" Yong Qiao laughed.

Yong Tan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly got up, put on his boots and walked outside.

"Where are you going, brother five?"

"Go to see the emperor."

Yongzhu was taken aback for a moment, he wasn't stupid enough yet, "Didn't you make it clear that there was a ghost when you went to see the father right now?"

"I didn't do it, what's the matter?" Yong Dan turned pale with anger, wishing he could kick Lao Jiu to death, he shook off Yong Zhuo's hand and said angrily: "Thank you for your praise, although I am not What a saint, but he still can't do the thing of killing his brother."

"I just want to fight for that seat, and I don't bother to take my brother's life behind my back! Your fifth brother and I have been working hard on the river all these years, and now I have picked up a lot of things that have been demolished by the bureaucracy. Even this time Qiushou, I also take care of everything. The prince blindly uses benevolence, and everything is not in line with the father's wishes; what I have done, the father sees everything! I don't believe it, the father is partial to black and white -"

Yong Dan's eyes were full of tears, his face was snow white, remembering that his father had always been eccentric and misunderstood by his younger brother, he was extremely annoyed, "You want to kill your brother?" He sneered, "In your eyes, I am actually such a person .”

Being reprimanded by him, Yongzhu couldn't help but take a step back.

Yong Dan pushed open the door and strode out.

But when he heard a "Hang Lang", the two guards guarding the door crossed their swords and blocked his way.

"Where is Fifth Master going?" The guard who had followed Yongzhu in embarrassment a moment ago to plead guilty, now stares at Yongzhu, the hand holding the knife handle remains motionless, and asks directly.

Yong Tan's face lost all color, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you from?"
