Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 275 Give in to others

"It's not that I'm brave, I'm just telling the truth." Gongshi handed over his hand.

"But no one here said such words, only you did." Tang Zhichuan stroked the beard on his chin, "Do you know the consequences of saying these words here?"

"Xiaosheng knows it, but Xiaosheng understands better that if Xiaosheng doesn't say it, others will definitely not say it, and no one will say it again in the future. No one will remind the king of his mistakes, and he will only act according to the king's preferences. This way If it goes down, won’t the entire country be in danger?”

Gongshi straightened his chest, his words became more sonorous and powerful, and his whole person became even more impassioned, with a strong sense of loyalty and sacrifice.

"That makes some sense." Tang Zhichuan stroked his beard again, glanced at the tribute, and then paused, "What's your name?"

Gongshi felt more and more at ease, and even raised his chin, "Xiaosheng Zhao Chunmao."

Tang Zhichuan stopped talking and just took two steps forward. He happened to see two tributes kneeling in front of the statue. They took out cakes from their sleeves and respectfully offered them to the altar table in front.

Narrowing his eyes, Tang Zhichuan arrived in front of the two of them.

Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming had heard noises inside before, but didn't know the cause. Now when they saw Tang Zhichuan, they were stunned for a moment, and then saluted in unison.

"You two are very thoughtful, and you have even prepared the tributes so completely." Tang Zhichuan said.

Chen Shuming was stunned again.

Naturally, he had not thought about preparing any tributes, but it was just because Song Jingyun gave him mung bean cake and red bean cake just now. He did not like sweets and was worried that if the cakes were kept in his sleeves, the sugar and oil would leak out and become dirty. His sleeves were disgraceful in front of the palace, so he considered whether to follow Song Jingyun and eat them secretly. Just when he was kneeling down to worship the statue, Chen Shuming saw Song Jingyun offering the pastries. He immediately thought that this was a good way to handle pastries, so he followed suit and offered the pastries in his sleeves.

When faced with people's inquiries now, if you answer truthfully, it would seem to put all the responsibility on Song Jingyun...

Chen Shuming thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and prepared to make up a lie, saying that he brought it in from outside.

But before Chen Shuming could open his mouth, Song Jingyun bowed his hands again and said, "Sir, Xiaosheng never thought that there would be this layer. I brought this pastry just to satisfy my hunger. It just happened to be the time to kneel down to worship the statue. Xiaosheng thought that since it was necessary If you kneel down and worship, you will be more sincere, and if you offer one or two pieces of cake, you will be able to show your sincerity."

"As for the pastry that Mr. Chen offered, it was given to him by Xiaosheng just now. He doesn't like sweets, but he couldn't refuse and had to accept it. Seeing me like this, he just offered the pastry like me."

"I see." Tang Zhichuan nodded slightly, "You are willing to tell the truth, and I seemed quite pious when I saw you kneeling down just now, but is it because you also believe in gods?"

"That's not the case." Song Jingyun answered truthfully.

"Then..." Tang Zhichuan frowned slightly, "Is it to surrender to the favor of the current saint?"

"That's not the case." Song Jingyun replied with a smile, "I just feel that many people in the world today believe in the theory of divine luck. Xiaosheng also feels that there is nothing wrong with believing in these. If you happen to encounter this, there is no harm in kneeling down and worshiping."
