Chapter 208 Yang Ai is not convinced
"I've been in Kunming and entered Nanzhili for a lot of hard work. I've given you the title of "Zhuyi Taoist" and a red Taoist robe." Zhu Youlang thought to himself that since he wanted to give kindness, he would just give more kindness. Anyway, Fu Shan was "history innocent" and was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he would not fall into the situation of "unconscious people". So he followed the flow and gave him a robe.
"Thank you Your Majesty to reward me. I am loyal to the Holy Lord and serve the Ming Dynasty. Even though I am heartbroken, I will never refuse!" Fu Shan was so excited that he kowtowed to express his loyalty in tears.
No wonder he was so excited. How much grace was it to give a robe? Not to mention anything else, he wanted to go out in the Taoist robe given by Zhu Youlang. Who would not salute him when he saw it? Even if he worshipped the Taoist robe given by the emperor and did not wear it out, as long as he did not commit a serious crime of treason, this robe was similar to the gold medal of avoiding death. In the Yongli Dynasty, it was still the only one of the scorpions.
"Face the body and retreat aside." Zhu Youlang said.
Fu Shan wiped his tears, bowed and retreated aside.
After sending Fu Shan, Zhu Youlang looked down at Liu Rushi kneeling on the ground.
He is much more interested in Liu Rushi than Fu Shan.
"How beautiful is this woman? And how talented is? She has attracted countless literati and poets to praise her?" Zhu Youlang thought to himself.
"Rushi, raise your head." Zhu Youlang couldn't help but feel curious. He wanted to take a good look at how Liu Rushi looked like.
Liu Rushi slowly raised his head, and Zhu Youlang looked at it intently, and couldn't help but feel moved.
That was a beautiful face!
Her eyebrows are as dark as far away, her eyes are as deep as pools, her skin is as white as snow, and her hair is as black as ink. Time seems to have stopped here, she is only thirty years old, but she is as if she is less than twenty years old.
The only thing that matches her age is the faint sadness and pain that appears in her eyes, and this sadness reflects her inner helplessness, struggle and at a loss.
Zhu Youlang certainly understood why Liu Rushi had a lot of emotions, not for her husband Qian Qianyi.
She is a passionate person and a just person. She has her whole body and mind tied to Qian Qianyi alone, hoping that her husband will devote herself to the great cause of anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty, but she does not want to meet others, but she is committed to a traitor. This huge gap between expectations and reality in her heart makes her fall into pain and unable to extricate herself.
The pain revealed in her eyes made Zhu Youlang feel pain, and he always wanted to do something for her to soothe her inner pain.
"Let's go flat." Zhu Youlang ordered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Rushi kowtowed, Yingying stood up, and retreated to Fu Shan.
Zhu Youlang noticed that Liu Rushi spoke like a pearl, walked slowly without rushing, and her whole body exuded a mature charm. Even though she was wearing a Taoist robe and not wearing red and green, she could not hide her temperament as orchid.
Zhu Youlang loves the more he looks at it.
Among the women he met after traveling through time, Yang Huiyi was the first in terms of beauty; if it comes to temperament, there is no doubt that Liu Rushi is the best among the females.
This is also the first woman who made Zhu Youlang take a look, wanted to love her and pity her, and embraced her in her arms and comfort her.
Zhu Youlang noticed his psychological changes and thought to himself: "Is this the legendary love at first sight? Should I make her a concubine?"
As soon as this idea came out, Zhu Youlang himself quickly denied it: "Although he is the emperor and forced to accept a wife, he is finally criticized. Moreover, she is from a low-class background and is bound to be resisted by the ministers."
Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang's hot heart finally slowly became cold.
"So, after the Qing army entered the pass, although you were a daughter, you have been secretly opposed to the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. What you did made many shameful people. This time, you are willing to take a strange risk and send out the news that Qian Qianyi had made detailed for the Qing court, which made me win many great victory. The main force of the Qing army is now in the jar, and the extermination is only a matter of time. After this battle, half of the Yangtze River in the south will be my own. The Qing court is declining and the Ming Dynasty is about to recover. In this situation, you have made great contributions. I am grateful to you, but I don't know what you plan?" Zhu Youlang asked.
"Reply to Your Majesty, the sinful woman..." Liu Rushi was interrupted by Zhu Youlang before he finished speaking.
"Don't call yourself like this. Qian Qianyi is Qian Qianyi, you are you, so you cannot be compared. You will restore your original name in the future. Don't use Liu Rushi's name again." Zhu Youlang said.
Liu Rushi's original name is Yang Ai, and he is from Jiaxing, Zhejiang.
Zhu Youlang asked her to use her old name, and hoped that she would make a break from her past experiences and start her life again.
"Thank you Your Majesty. The people's daughters are discouraged and wish to worship Master Fu as their teacher. Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has fulfilled this life and ask Your Majesty to be kind." Liu Rushi took the opportunity to change his claim and expressed his wish.
Liu Rushi, no, Yang Ai said this, which made Zhu Youlang stunned.
He originally thought that Yang Ai would plead for Qian Qianyi, let him spare his life, and then retreat to the world and continue his relationship.
Unexpectedly, she didn't even mention Qian Qianyi's name.
I think I feel that even if I plead with mercy, I may not be sure. After all, Qian Qianyi’s crime is too great. Or, she has really been disheartened and discouraged towards Qian Qianyi?
"Yang, do you have nothing to say about Qian Qianyi?" Zhu Youlang asked.
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter does not want to mention this person again. He is talented, but not the talent of a gentleman; his guilt is a great sin. The national law is difficult to tolerate, and the people's daughter is heartbroken, and he deeply regrets that he met someone wrong. Your Majesty changed the people's daughter back to her old name and did not investigate Yang Ai's crime of following the thief. The emperor's kindness is great, and the people's daughter neither wants nor dares to abolish the public for personal gain." Yang Ai replied.
Zhu Youlang nodded secretly when he heard this: "This woman knows the general and knows how to advance and retreat. She is indeed not an ordinary person."
"Yang, I heard you have said, "The Central Plains is in full swing, and the great heroes are coming out to suppress the rebellion and resist the aggression. You should be like Xie Dongshan to plan the enemy, and not like Tao Jing's noble character. If I am a man, I must save the nation and serve the country with my own power!', have you said this?"
"By your Majesty, the folk girl did say this." Yang Ai replied.
"Then I ask you, I am about to restore the country, and I am waiting to be renovated and I am in need of help from talents. You are far-reaching and talented. Although you have not learned from Tao Jingjie to avoid being in the paradise, you have to avoid being in the empty door and stay out of the matter. Wouldn't it be contrary to your original words?"
"When you go back to Your Majesty, the daughter of the people is useless and exhausted, how dare you be the saying of Your Majesty's 'ambition far and high talent'? After the Qing army entered the pass, the daughter of the people did have the ambition to restore the country, and they also ran around and shouted for this. I am also happy that the saint is in court and the revival of the Ming Dynasty is coming, so why regret is the daughter of the people? The ancient Buddha of green lamps and wanders around in the springs and forests, and the wish of life is enough."
"Yang, this is a bad word. What does it mean to say that your daughter is useless or that you are exhausted physically and mentally? In my opinion, you have not seen the root of your own tragedy, and you have not combined your personal destiny with the destiny of the country and nation. It is still a little shallow."
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter is willing to listen to His Majesty's teachings..."
