Chapter 35 The autumn wind is like a knife: the righteousness of the king!
Under the puzzled gaze of my sister, Song Junzhe opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was still there and couldn't speak.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up, paced back and forth with his hands in his arms, and lowered his head to ponder. After a while, he pointed to his sister and said, "You are still young, and you can't explain this kind of thing clearly to you for a while. Many things cannot be looked at the surface, do you know... you can't look at the surface."
The girl who could not get the answer from her brother's side had a deeper confusion in her eyes, and she lowered her head: "And I don't understand why my brother hated him so much. My father was just a prince without power, but now he became the emperor and his brother also became the prince. This is a wealth that unexpectedly flew in wealth. If Mr. Ning hadn't designed to destroy Chache and chase us, we would have fallen into the hands of the barbarian army. At that time, the situation we were chased by the barbarian army, would the emperor have forgotten? Just because of the words Lu Yu said, my brother hated him so much, and always felt... a little kind to repay the revenge!"
"What do you know, girl?" Song Junzhe slapped the table suddenly and scolded loudly.
Baotong was so scared that she shrank, and the palace maid outside the pearl curtain was even more anxious and did not dare to come in.
Originally, she just subconsciously expressed her thoughts, but she didn't expect that her brother would be angry like this. Baotong was also a little scared for a moment. The emperor said that she didn't understand, but what did she not understand? She rubbed the corner of her clothes uneasyly, trying to figure it out, but she still couldn't figure it out in the end, so she raised her head and hoped that her brother could explain it clearly for her.
One hand pointed in front of her: "I understand, I understand! Do you really want to marry him? Before the person has married, his arms started to turn out. Otherwise, why would you speak for him like this? You women are all the same, just like throwing their arms to those kind of people. I thought they were my sister at least, different from others, but they still looked the same."
The girl blurted out: "No!"
With a snap, a slap had already fallen on her face. Her body and the stool were tilted, bang, the sound of her head colliding with the foot of the bed. The girl who fell to the ground covered her face in horror, with the roar of her ear drums and an irresistible vibration. At the same time, she was more worried about why she found panic and fear of treating her like this.
My body kept shrinking backwards, and my brother pointed from above, and his hands that seemed to be trembling with the whole room were accompanied by his thunderous vibration: "Take me here and think clearly for myself. I looked down on this prince at the beginning, but now I still want to marry my sister... Please stay here and stay for me, and don't go to find him... a little girl!"
The teapot and cup flew out of the table, bringing out curved lines and colliding with the wall. The girl's whole body trembled, followed by the sound of the bead curtain slamming. The sound of the palace maid's panic came, and another angrily shouted: "Don't go in, everyone is kneeling here, and no one is allowed to go in, let her reflect on me... and reflect on me!"
The man's voice shook the eaves and then left.
The girl was still as frightened as a frightened rabbit, shrank towards the corner of the wall on the ground, crying, and could not understand...

In the distant sky, there were more and more dark clouds, and there was a tendency to flow in this direction. In the sultry air, two girls sitting at the rockery looked up at the dark clouds together. Among them, the younger one asked in confusion: "Why haven't Sister Baotong come yet?"
In her arms, she was still holding a little black cat. The cute little black cat was tied with beautiful silk around her neck, and she yawned lazily, and the kitten looked a little bored.
The older girl next to her muttered, "I know only the ghost!" She glanced at the little black cat in her companion's arms again, thinking in her heart... I don't like cats!
Fortunately, he didn't give it to me, even if he gave it to me... I don't like it either.
The red butterfly at this moment is probably a bit of a "grapes that you can't eat are sour". Yes, this kitten is cute, but it's too dark. I don't like it at first glance. Look at its cat's ears, its cat's eyes, its cat's paws, although they are all very cute... but I just don't like it.
The two girls were waiting here for Baotong, who was about to come. It was about to be evening and return to the palace at noon. Baotong, who had originally promised to come in the evening, had not appeared yet for some reason.
Bored, Huangfu Lu began to tease the cat. Strangely, the little black cat seemed to be psychic and could play with her. Hongdie put his right hand on his leg and supported his face. He gradually became bored, so he suggested entering the palace together to see why Baotong hadn't come yet.
Huangfu Lu, who had never had any opinion, naturally agreed quickly, and hugged the little black cat named Xiaodao, got into the sedan chair and went to the palace with Hongdie. Both of them had the identity of a princess, and with Baotong, the palace and the princess's mansion came and went from time to time, and were not hindered.
But when he came to the hall where Baotong lived, he asked, and learned that Baotong was still lying on the bed. Hongdie said with some dissatisfaction: "What the hell is she doing? Let's wait for her, and we are still sleeping."
But after looking again, I found that these palace maids were a little reluctant to say something, but they wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it. Hongdie was confused and entered the house with Huangfu Lu.
The house was filled with sandalwood and the treasure tent was swaying. The dark clouds had already flowed over this side. The windows were closed tightly, and the outside was covered with darkness. Huangfu Lu came to the bed and saw that Baotong was even blindfolded, so she shouted, "Sister Baotong? Sister Baotong?"
Hongdie rushed up without saying a word, raised the quilt and shouted, "Laggy, sun shining... Baotong, what's wrong with you?"
The girl on the bed grabbed the quilt and immediately covered her head. Hongdie and Huangfu Lu looked at each other. At the moment just now, both of them clearly saw Baotong's crying eyes and half of her swollen face.
Huangfu Lu said in a daze: "Sister Baotong...what happened?"
Hongdie suddenly burst into anger: "Baotong, what's wrong with your face? Who made the move?"
"No... nothing!" the girl who was caught whispered.
How did Hongdie believe it? As soon as the pearl curtain flipped, it rushed outside and grabbed a palace maid to ask. The palace maid knew that they were both sisters from princesses and grew up together, so she dared not hide it and said in a low voice what happened.
Hongdie stayed for a while, and for that moment, she wanted to rush to beat the prince. But she found that doing so was a big deal and made it difficult for Baotong to do nothing. What's more, the prince was protected by a big master, and it was a problem whether he could rush to his side.
In the end, she could only stomp her feet angrily, return to Baotong, and comfort Baotong with Xiaolu. However, there were not too many things to say. Gradually, as the sky became darker and the palace gate was about to close, Zhenfei, who was worried, also sent someone to pick them up. In desperation, they could only comfort her for a few more words, and then agreed to come to accompany her tomorrow morning.
When she left, Huangfu Lu thought about it and ran back. She put the little black cat in her arms on the head of Baotong's bed, and gave a few instructions to the little black cat, probably asking it to accompany Baotong Sister to wait. The little black cat squatted on the head of the bed, as if she could understand it. For a moment, Huangfu Lu felt that it seemed to nod.
The dark clouds finally covered the palace, and it was covered with darkness and piled up like mountains. First, there was lightning surging inside, and suddenly, a thunderclap sounded, followed by heavy rain pouring in. The last warm current of autumn was extinguished by the showers, the heat disappeared, and a refreshing feeling surged, which immediately brought a hint of chill.
In a corner of the palace, a young man stood under a stairs, waved his arm, and said something loudly. In front of him, the emperor in a dragon robe listened expressionlessly. Thunder continued to thunder, and the sound of rain hit the stones outside, and a bang of shaking sound came from the eaves, and flashed outside the window, which was a sudden burst of lightning.
At this moment, the father and son in the palace did not realize that just one year ago, in Haojing, it was almost the same season, the same thunderstorm, and the more glorious imperial city, there was a similar scene. This world is full of too many reincarnations, and it is impossible to see through or avoid. Everyone wants to change something, but everyone is himself again.
History is like a wheel, rolling constantly, but not always moving forward.
Finally, the young man said with a righteous spirit: "Father, if you should be punished, you will suffer the chaos. The traitor is ambitious. If he does not deal with it early, we will be imprisoned by him in the future."
The emperor pondered for a long time and stood up and said, "Let's go together, our father and son... haven't walked together for a long time."
The showers hit the ground like a waterfall. The temples and pavilions in the distance appeared in the rain, and it felt like they were gradually being pulled away. The eaves extending forward were opposite to the ridge-swallowing beasts in the rain, and the towering palace walls were hazy in the mist.
The eunuch followed far behind, with straight water curtains on both sides. The long and lonely aisle lanterns hung high on the stone pillars.
"Father..." The young man followed the dragon robe's man.
"What you just said... Actually, don't you know about being a father?" the emperor said helplessly, "But killing someone is easy to kill. If you motivate the whole body, the consequences caused by it are so easy to solve? To kill someone, you must have reasons and excuses. Whether it is real or fake, it must be convincing."
Continuing, "I ask you, what is the most important thing for us?"
The prince said: "The most important thing is..." He hesitated for a moment, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
"Great righteousness!" the emperor continued to say, "Eight hundred years of supremacy of Confucianism have created nobility and status that we do not allow others to refuse at this moment. This inertia is strong, but also extremely weak. Before this, who are you and what am I? A prince who seems to have a status but does not have real power... in fact, it is not allowed to have real power, and a prince who is rich and honored from a background but cannot even participate in the imperial examination. No matter how many books you read, it is useless. Preventing the inside is better than letting go of the outside, guarding the martial arts is better than preventing the literature, guarding the vassal kings is better than guarding the military generals. In the end, what pushed us to our current status overnight? It is great righteousness, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for eight hundred years. It is the foundation of our monarch, minister, father, son, and son. It is our cornerstone and our foundation. If we abandon great righteousness... we are nothing."
A flash of lightning flashed by, and Song Junzhe looked at his father in surprise. Such words surprised him.
"I know, these days, you have been talking about the general trend of the world and the Northern Central Plains with your friends. I can tell you clearly that what you are talking about is nothing but the things that are useless on paper... You don't have to refute it, this is the fact. Do you know why I didn't dissuade you, why didn't I tell you earlier? Because, talking about war on paper... There is no harm. What you want to inherit in the future is not the military position of leading troops to fight, nor other things, but the authority of the emperor. Talking about war on paper may be the most important talent of being the emperor, right?" The emperor held his hands and shook his head helplessly, "Actually, I am not the same? But the reality finally made me understand what is the important weapon of the country that the superiors cannot give up? That is righteousness. The more this kind of current situation, the more important justice is to us."
"Thesis, today, who can compare Ningjiang? In terms of martial arts, who can compare Mr. Mei Jian? However, as long as the slogan of honoring the king and expelling the barbarians is still there, they cannot hold us high. They are all ambitious people. The Mandarin duck butterfly Sect has not entered the world for hundreds of years and wants to make a difference. Ningjiang holds the slogan of resisting the barbarians and wants to expel the barbarians. Under such a general situation, due to the overall situation, they have to respect us, so that China will not be divided and China will not sink. This is our righteousness and the only thing we can rely on. If we cannot recognize this, we will have nothing."
He turned around and faced the heavy rain curtain, his eyes were a little cold: "You have figured out why Ningjiang's rumors made me unable to touch him? It is because of the righteousness. In this situation, I can lose anything, but the righteousness is absolutely impossible. I originally wanted to create public opinion through all officials, and the public's words made Ningjiang unable to turn over. Who knew that he had taken one step ahead, haha, a rumors made me unable to stop him. Ningjiang was really too powerful and terrible."
The prince couldn't help but angrily said, "No wonder the traitor wanted to slander my father with rumors. The barbarians killed my people and seized my land. His rumor made his death confused with the crime of colluding with the barbarian Hu. At this time, killing him confirmed the crime of colluding with the barbarian Hu and secretly negotiated with the barbarian Hu. He wanted to let his father be abandoned by the world. In order to protect himself, such villains, since they did such slanderous things, they wanted to trap the father injustice. They were also those stupid people who were deceived by such traitors. I really believe that the father would actually do the ugly things that secretly communicated with the barbarian Hu. How could the father's ambition be known to those stupid people?"
The wind was strong and the rain was fierce. The emperor opened his mouth, and somehow... he couldn't speak...
The prince thought about it and suddenly whispered: "Father, since all we have to do is to kill Ningjiang without causing trouble for ourselves, why not..."
