Seventh Prince's war horse galloped all the way to Imperial Road before being stopped. Two Imperial Guard bowed and saluted, saying, "Your Highness."
Seventh Prince laughed and said hello, and said the names of the two Imperial Guard, with a natural expression, and said with a raised eyebrow, "Why, do I have to be searched even when I go to the palace?"
The two Imperial Guard saluted and said, "It is my duty, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Haha, I was just kidding."
Seventh Prince turned over and dismounted, then spread his arms and allowed these people to search him. The mouthful of Jin Province saber was first hidden under his left wrist. When they searched him, his fingers moved slightly and silently slipped down the wide cuffs of his attire. He then used his strength to control it and removed his right wrist. This was a technique he learned when he tortured a Snake Clan spy.
He once relied on this skill to sneak into the enemy camp and disintegrate an army of three thousand by himself.
As for Killing Intent?
The military general is Killing Intent Tengteng.
If the gang of men were fighting and wallowing at the border, they would most likely be able to sense something was wrong, but this group of Imperial Guards were just wandering around under the imperial city, wearing luxurious armors, showing off everywhere, and acting as gatekeepers for the royal family like puppets. If they were to fight in formation, a thousand Imperial Guards might not be able to defeat three hundred border troops.
Seventh Prince passed the inspection safely, looking lazily, still riding on Imperial Road.
This Imperial Road is extremely long, with extremely high walls on both sides.
There are towers in front and behind.
As long as the front and rear gates are closed, there is an urn city. Human Dao Qi is suppressed. Arrows are falling from both sides. The Daoist gate True Person will also drink hatred. Seventh Prince's war horse slows down. The young man in bright clothes and angry horse turns his back to the way he came. He waved to the two Imperial Guard and said lazily, "When I come back, I will drink with you."
Past Imperial Road, I just got off the horse.
A eunuch led him to the side hall.
He said that the saint was among them, so he went in again to deliver the message. When he came out, he said that the saint announced that Seventh Prince had entered. Seventh Prince pressed his hands on the door that was extremely heavy and labor-intensive. With a sudden force, the door was pushed open. The main hall where Human Emperor lived, even the side hall where political affairs were handled, was still very grand.
There were palace lanterns on both sides illuminating the area. Seventh Prince stood at the door. The sunlight outside was like a sharp sword, cutting through the drowsiness in the hall. The young man's eyes were like torches. In the side hall, the man known as the saint in the world looked like he was only in his thirties. There were some simple meals on the table, and he was still processing memorials.
Seventh Prince's sight is sharp, and those who shoot heavy bows have excellent eyesight and can see the contents of the memorials.
[In the prefectures and counties, there is a great harvest, and people all have surplus food in their homes. They all rely on the great grace of heaven, which is the grace of the saint.]
Annotated with cinnabar below.
[I know that you are flattering, so don't do anything. If you do anything to exploit the people, you will be questioned]
Another said, "In the criminal law, there is a question about how many people should be killed, and the sage is asked to decide."
The annotation says, "Penal laws, whether killing or punishing, should all have laws, but if you have the virtue of living well, submit the file]"
There are many files like this. The saint smiled slightly and said, "The new year is approaching, and there are too many files. But when it comes to people's livelihood and criminal laws, we have to check it. There is no other way. I have to eat something here. Can the emperor eat it?"
He smelled it, smiled and cursed, "Zui Tian Lou's food and wine, you, you, don't get too close to those martial arts disciples."
"Aristocratic Clan are entangled together, just like a net. If you get too close, you will inevitably be involved. Even if you are a general at the border, there will be all kinds of things. And now, these martial arts disciples are not in power, and they can still treat each other as brothers."
"In the future, we will become princes of different families. Their interests are at odds with each other. If we start fighting, what should you do?"
"If you don't take action, you are forming a clique, or Martial General forming a clique."
"Your father, I can still tolerate you, but your eldest brother may not be able to tolerate you, remember?"
He warned a few times, stretched out his hand to sweep down the files on the table, and put away many things in the food box. He smiled and said, "But whether you have eaten or not, you still come to eat something with me. It just so happens that I am tired of looking at these files here alone. It is a good thing to find someone to eat with."
"Come on, give my son a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and let's go make some dishes."
"Yes."
Seventh Prince was slightly shaken, then he cupped his hands and said, "I have seen a saint."
So the smile on the emperor's face paused slightly. He raised his head and looked at his tall son, who was just in his prime. He paused in his voice, put down his food bowl, just sat on the chair, shook his head and cursed with a smile, "To be called a minister, not to be called a son, it seems that I came here today for some serious business."
"Tell me, what trouble did you get into? Did you beat the son of a noble family? Or did you get into a quarrel with some Hanlin Academy adult? They couldn't stand you and wanted to meddle with you in the court? Tell me."
"You caused me a lot of trouble when you were young."
"But now, their fathers are not as powerful as your father, so no matter how troublesome you are, your father can protect you this time."
"But don't hurt the people, don't do evil, don't oppress the good."
Seventh Prince was sitting opposite the emperor and said slowly, "I am studying today and I am confused about something. I am thinking about the words of the sage, so I came here to ask, hoping to get the answer."
The emperor laughed and scolded, "You can actually read?"
"It's really strange."
Then he lay back on the chair and said, "Just ask."
Seventh Prince was sitting and asked, "What should I do as a younger brother?"
The emperor couldn't help but smile and replied, "Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful to each other for the sake of filial piety. We must respect our elders. This is the same principle as filial piety."
"This is something that a three-year-old can understand."
"What? Are you having a conflict with your brothers? After all, you are blood relatives, like the palms of your hands and the backs of your hands, but you have to support each other. When your parents are gone in this world, you are the only one who has the closest relationship. You can talk about anything, but don't fight."
Seventh Prince lowered his eyes and said, "I see."
"What should a father do?"
The emperor frowned slightly. "As a father, you should teach your children and grandchildren through words and deeds."
"There are those who are not sons of man, and there are those who are not fathers."
Seventh Prince stepped forward. Because he was sitting in the court, he walked a few steps on his knees. There was only a desk distance between him and the saint. The saint frowned slightly. Seventh Prince raised his head, his eyes were burning, and he asked hoarsely, "What should I do as a king?"
The emperor's face had lost the smile, and his eyes were looking at Seventh Prince, who was only three steps away.
Seventh Prince did not rise up, like a dormant beast, and the emperor did not immediately get up in anger or shout loudly. The air was like a taut bowstring. Both sides were restraining. This restraint came from the blood in their hearts and the last luck. The emperor replied, "The way to govern a country is to love the people."
"Love the people, love the people."
Seventh Prince suddenly laughed several times and said, "As a general, I protect the country and the people, and clean up the country's filth. What I want to ask you now -"
"If a brother betrays his brother and kills his brother, can he be killed?!"
"Can a father who commits a grave sin be killed?!"
"Is it permissible to kill a person who is a ruler and kills people in order to seek glory and wealth?"
Seventh Prince stared at the father in front of him, his anger became more and more intense with every word, but the emperor's expression finally changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly and cursed, "Are you here today to go crazy?! Qi Lang, if you want to go crazy, go to the border and go find those Demon Race crazy people. Don't come here, I have to deal with the memorial."
Seventh Prince said, "Jinzhou."
The emperor's body paused slightly, his eyes sharp.
Seventh Prince said, "Did you do what happened in Jinzhou..."
The main hall was eerily quiet, and Seventh Prince asked in a hoarse voice:
"My son just wants an answer, Dad."
The emperor gasped, sat down again, stared at Seventh Prince in front of him, and said:
"Yes."
Seventh Prince was finally relieved of his luck, and the soldier was so brave that he almost gritted his teeth and asked, "Why!"
"Why!"
The emperor said, "Why why?!"
Seventh Prince stood up suddenly by pressing the desk. Soldiers have been brave since ancient times, and faced the despair and pain of the father in front of him. He did not give in, and said angrily:
"Those are millions of people. How could you do such a thing! Why!"
The emperor swept his sleeves and robes, knocking all the food on the table to the ground, staining the files. His eyes were like daggers, and he refused to give in. He said angrily, "What is your choice?!"
"What is it? It's something you can think over and over again?!"
"That's a once-in-a-lifetime fighter plane!"
"Opportunities disappear in an instant!"
"There is only one moment when you make a decision. Do you know that in one moment, you are also a human being, and I am also a human being. Everyone knows that when emotions arise, there is no way to control yourself. The decision is well thought out when making a decision. Who has not regretted it afterwards?!"
The emperor pulled his son's collar, pointed directly at the files that fell on the ground, and said:
"Come and see these memorials!"
"Look at this world again!"
"The palace is full of green and purple doctors, the world is full of literary attires, and the world is full of common people!"
"A thousand pieces of gold can turn a friend against him, a mere inheritance of a family, a few houses can make blood brothers die apart, and a position as a county magistrate can make those who have studied sages and sages for more than ten years and decades go crazy. What do you think they will do in my position?"
"But what I faced back then was the greatest position in the world. It was right in front of you. As long as you nodded, it would be yours."
"Ask yourself, who can bear it?"
"Even a saint has his thoughts sometimes, and when he loses his head, he makes a decision with no chance to regret it."
"It was passed on as quickly as possible. When I wanted to reverse it, it was already too late. It was too late, you know? That step was wrong and it would be doomed. At that time, the 600,000 cavalry troops were already stationary. If I dared to look back at that time, I could only die to thank the world!"
The emperor stared closely at his son.
Seventh Prince said, "That's millions of people..."
"Millions of people, yes."
"But for anyone, who can exchange his own life for someone else's?"
The emperor let go of his hand and said in a gentle tone, "I would rather teach the world to die while I live alone. The emperor calls himself a loner, and he is the biggest loner in the world. If he doesn't have such a consciousness, what kind of emperor would he be?"
"Those scholars say that a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen because he can't bear to see his death. They say this is benevolence. Hahaha, what a joke. Aren't they also eating meat? If you don't see the appearance of cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, eating meat is said to be benevolence. Then I have never seen those three million people, and eating their flesh and blood is not also [great benevolence]!"
"So we know that all the people and millions of scholars in this world are just beasts in high-sounding clothes."
"The only reason you blame me harshly is because they are not the ones eating meat."
The emperor added, "If those people in Jinzhou were in front of me back then, I would definitely make the same choice as my elder brother; if I make the same decision now again, I will let the cavalry enter Jinzhou, because I know that the cavalry will inevitably suffer huge losses. I don't have to spend so many lives here to bring down my brother, but no."
"But no, the only thing in front of me at that time was the supreme power and a number."
"At that time, I didn't have the experience and magnanimity I have now."
Seventh Prince said, "Number?"
"Yes, numbers, in exchange for the supreme power."
"Even if there are more than three million bones under your feet?"
The emperor shouted, "My son is stupid!"
He spoke with arrogance, "Since ancient times, which hero has not had bones at his feet?"
"Only by standing here can I realize my ambition."
"They should be willing to die for this. They have no regrets."
"No more regrets? Too many bones?"
"Hero?"
Seventh Prince murmured several times, then burst out laughing several times, furious. A military planner can judge the situation, know how to advance and retreat, and know how to tolerate; but a military planner, like a soldier, can break and cannot be broken. The only one who was bold and furious, raised his hand and violently opened the table. It was only three steps away, but it was only one step away. The anger, injustice, despair and pain in his heart gathered like a furnace, and finally turned into a roar:
"Traitor!!!"
The luck behind him suddenly roared, turning into a tiger. The tiger roared and roared, becoming more and more real.
"Die!!!"
The soldier's bloody evil suddenly exploded.
Cut off the kindness between father and son, and cut off the love between flesh and blood.
In an instant, with the sound of the weapon resolutely entering the body, blood fell on the file.
Eye-catching bright red.
