Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 313
The little emperor sat on top, watching the two sides arguing, without saying a word.

Lu Chun also stood beside the emperor, with his back straight, his eyes slightly lowered, looking at his nose and heart, as if he had no opinion at all.

A dispute made the atmosphere in the Hall of Qinzheng very hot, and no one in the two chambers could convince the other, and each had their own reasons. After listening for a while, the little emperor couldn't help but secretly yawned, showing some fatigue.

Lu Chun immediately cleared his throat, took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty is already tired, why don't King Qi and all the ministers sort out the memorial and present it?"

Seeing the exhausted look of the little emperor, everyone couldn't continue to fight, so they had to bow their heads and respectfully send the emperor off.

Lu Chun followed the little emperor out of the Palace of Qinzheng.

"Your Majesty seems to have made up his mind?" Lu Chun asked slowly while walking.

The little emperor shook his head, "Mr. Lu understands my heart best, why bother to ask?"

But Lu Chun cupped his hands and said: "Since the Holy Majesty has made his heart clear, why didn't he explain it in front of all the ministers just now, instead of making them quarrel?"

The little emperor sighed softly, stopped in his tracks, and looked back at Lu Chun, "Sir, King Qi is my uncle. He has been helping me since he came back. He can't help but teach me a lot in politics and life. Above, I am also very caring, I don't want to make my uncle sad, and let my uncle think that I have grown up and become disobedient."

Lu Chun nodded slowly, "It's a good thing for the Holy Spirit to have his own opinions and ideas. King Qi treats the Holy Spirit sincerely, so he will feel happy and will not be angry."

But the little emperor sighed, "But I also hope that uncle is happy, if uncle knows that I think differently from him, he will definitely not be happy."

Lu Chun frowned, "How could the king of Qi be so kind as a woman? How can the country's laws and family rules be changed arbitrarily? The crime of treason should be implicated! Otherwise, how can we deter it?"

The little emperor nodded, but his expression was still not relaxed, "I don't want to refute uncle face to face, I don't want to openly oppose him, but make uncle lose face."

Lu Chun cupped his hands and said: "The ministers will inform Cai and others to stick to their beliefs. They unite with all the ministers, and there are not a few who hate the Yu family. The voice of the alliance is not small. King Qi will not turn a blind eye to it. There is no need for the Holy Majesty to come forward." , ask King Qi to compromise, only then can we have both."

The little emperor nodded and smiled, "Then it all depends on Mr. Lu."

Lu Chun cupped his hands, "It is the duty of a minister to serve the Holy Majesty and the imperial court."

As soon as the little emperor got away, he hurriedly turned back to look for Shen Xinniang.He decided not to advance the court affairs, but only pestered Shen Xinniang to watch the fish and tell him stories, and stuffed the oranges from the fruit plate into Shen Xinniang's arms, "Mrs. Shen, peel the oranges for me to eat."

Where can I still see the shrewd and dignified manner when talking to Lu Chun just now?

Shen Xinniang smiled helplessly, peeled the orange for him with her own hands, broke the orange into petals, tied them with a silver sign, and fed them to him.

The little emperor was all smiles, the orange was so sweet to his heart, the warmth that had been missing for many years seemed to have finally been filled, and a sense of happiness filled his chest.

Contrary to the little emperor's happiness, Prince Qi is not happy at all at this time.

The voices supporting the Yu clan's family copying and beheading became louder and louder, but there were fewer and fewer people who believed that the members of the Yu clan were innocent and believed that Yu Miao was not of Yu Tai's kind.

His original intention was not only to save the Yu clan, but his real purpose was to rescue Yu Miao who thought he would die in prison.But if the members of the Yu clan can't let go, then it's simply impossible to let Yu Miao go.

The voice of opposition made him feel weird.

It is obvious that the Yu family is not guilty of death. It is obvious that Cai Xiang, Lu Chun and others are rigid and strict, and they believe that favors cannot influence the law.

There seemed to be deliberate manipulation by others behind these voices, and he was only worried that Lu Chun and Cai Xiang were just taking the opportunity to be used by others.

It's just that this idea is also his random guess, and there is no real evidence, so it is not well known.He needs strong support for his claims, and he needs the support of someone who is strong and speaks volumes.

Gongsun Ling was busy with his own marriage at this time, and the Holy Majesty granted him a leave of absence so that he did not need to go to the pilgrimage.He doesn't have much to say.

When Shen Xinniang came back from the palace that day, Fang Yan was at home, but she came back earlier than her.

"Aren't you busy today?" Shen Xiniang asked in surprise.

Fang Yan smiled wryly, "Busy, busy arguing and arguing, my ears are not clean, why not go back to the mansion and be quiet and quiet."

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and did not speak. Did the little emperor tell her his thoughts on purpose that day, or did he intend to use her mouth to let Fang Yan understand what the little emperor meant? unknown.

The little emperor was young after all, Shen Xiniang didn't want to be as devious and scheming as the little emperor thought, she only wanted to see him as an innocent child.

"Don't talk about my troubles, how are you in the palace? Are you still used to it?" Fang Yan held her hand, "Stay with the Holy Majesty, after all, the Holy Majesty is young, did you tire you? If it's hard, I'll report it another day Your Majesty Ming, I don’t want you to be tired.”

Shen Xinniang hurriedly shook her head subconsciously, "No, I'm not tired."

Fang Yan looked at her in astonishment, "Reject in such a hurry?"

Shen Xinniang chuckled, "I always have to take care of the children. The Holy Majesty is just a big kid, so I should practice in advance. In fact, I am not tired. The Holy Majesty is still very hardworking. He is studying most of the time, and I just sit by the side. Stay with him, he won't make trouble with me, you don't have to worry. "

Fang Yan nodded.

"Indeed..." Shen Xinniang hesitated, but still felt that she should say it, "Have you ever thought that the Holy One is no longer the child Yu Tai held in his hands when you first came back? He is also growing up, I am also constantly learning, maybe I will have my own opinions, my own ideas? Instead of listening to you and agreeing with you in everything like before?"

Fang Yan couldn't help frowning, "Xin'er, do you mean something?"

Shen Xinniang looked back at him, "The literal meaning is not obvious enough?"

Fang Yan pursed his lips and nodded slowly, "He should grow up, I'm just his uncle, sooner or later I will hand over the government to him, and return everything to him, I won't hold on to it all the time Xin'er is too worried, he is still young, I can't trust him to make decisions, when he grows up and matures, will I be attached to this little bit of power?"

Seeing that he didn't understand her hint, Shen Xiniang asked more bluntly: "Then if the Holy Majesty disagrees with you on this matter, the Holy Majesty supports Mr. Cai Xianglu's proposition and wants to kill the Yu clan What? Do you want to object too?"

Fang Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, "The Holy Majesty's opinion? What did the Holy Majesty say to you?"

Shen Xinniang looked at him fixedly, "You answer my question first."

Fang Yan frowned, "This matter is not simple, and now, I feel more and more that there is a conspiracy behind this matter."

Shen Xinniang was taken aback, "Conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy? Yu Tai, who was jumping and jumping all the time, is dead, even if he wants to conspire, he can't do it."

"What if others want to take advantage of this?" Fang Yan asked slowly.

Shen Xinniang narrowed her eyes, "What's the purpose?"

"Maybe to disturb Chao Gang, or other..." Fang Yan frowned and shook his head slightly.

"It turns out that you can't tell clearly, it's just your guess, and it's still a guess without any evidence." Shen Xinniang said with a light smile.

Fang Yan suddenly looked up at her, "It can be regarded as intuition. Let me analyze it with you. Most things in this world exist for dialectics, like voices of support and opposition. It is not surprising that there are both voices. The crime of treason However, there are precedents for being implicated, but there are also precedents for benevolent government to be lenient. The Yu family is mostly innocent, and Yu Tai is responsible for the crime alone. It is not possible to kill so many people, exile or severe punishment. But it is another The voice, insisting on letting the whole clan be exterminated, the voice is getting louder, which is a bit unreasonable."

Shen Xinniang looked at him suspiciously.

Fang Yan continued to analyze: "Assuming that the Yu family is all killed, most of them are innocent people who have been implicated, and these people also have relatives, will their relatives be angry? Their relatives are even more relatives, will they be angry? Spread? If the situation further escalates, and the army in the Northwest learns that Yu Miao is loyal to the Holy Majesty, he does not hesitate to turn against his own brother, and to be loyal to the court even if he kills relatives, but ends up being beheaded in the end. How many people do you think there will be? Chilling? They are in the northwest frontier, can they still wholeheartedly defend against foreign enemies and guard the border?"

Shen Xinniang couldn't help frowning, "Do you think it's too serious?"

"Born in sorrow, died in peace." Fang Yan sighed lightly, "The teacher of benevolence and righteousness is invincible, and the king of benevolence and righteousness is invincible."

If so many innocent people were killed, and even Yu Miao, who had contributed to fighting against Yu Taili, would be killed, it would indeed appear that the Holy Majesty was not benevolent enough. The Holy Majesty was still so young, so it would be very bad for him to kill.

"I can often enter the palace and see the Holy Majesty." Shen Xinniang said suddenly, "The Holy Majesty also talked about this with me sometimes."

Fang Yan looked up at Shen Xinniang fiercely, "Xin'er is willing to intercede for the Yu family?"

Shen Xinniang was a little stunned when she heard the words.She wanted to laugh a little. When Master Ziyang asked her to intercede for the innocent members of the Yu family and ask His Majesty for forgiveness, she still felt that Master Ziyang didn't know what to say, and was trying to force others to do so.

She never thought that today, she would take the initiative to say this. Didn't she mean to intercede for the Yu family members?

She actually wanted to intercede for the relatives of her enemies.

This is really something that would never have been thought of in the past, no wonder Fang Yan looked at her with surprised eyes.

"I'm here to help you." Shen Xinniang turned her gaze away, and said in a calm tone, "Whether the Yu family is dead or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Fang Yan couldn't help but smile on the corners of her mouth, and reached out to hug her tightly, "Okay, to help me. Thank you, Xin'er. Thank you for finally untying your knot."

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, "Master doesn't like killing, if I do this, Master will be very happy if he knows?"

"Yes." Fang Yan nodded heavily.

The Holy Majesty sent someone to pick up Shen Xinniang into the palace, almost without delay for a day, more active than the court meeting.

Shen Xinniang was in the place where he was studying, flipping through the books, and suddenly read: "Mencius said: Three generations who win the world are also benevolent, and those who lose the world are also inhumane. The reason why the country is destroyed is the same. The emperor is not benevolent, and he cannot protect the world; If you are not benevolent, you will not protect the country; if you are not benevolent, you will not protect the ancestral temple; if you are not benevolent, you will not protect your four limbs. Today, people who hate death and enjoy being inhumane are just like being drunk and drinking.' What does this mean?"

The little emperor was studying, and when he heard Shen Xiniang's question, he stopped and looked at her suspiciously.She never interrupted him when he was studying, and today was abnormal, there must be a reason for it.
