Chapter three hundred and forty-eight, please
Tang Jiusheng and Du Ruo rode unicorns and galloped all the way, arriving at Yong'an City the next morning. Tang Jiusheng did not rush to take Du Ruo into the palace, but took Du Ruo around Yong'an City for two or three days.
Du Ruo was dazzled and envious. Everything in Yong'an City caught her eye, including candied haws, sugar figures, sideshows, theaters, restaurants, inns, bookstores, brothels, silk and satin shops, rouge shops, temples, Taoist temples, markets, and archways.
, large and small yamen, all kinds of snacks are all fresh in Du Ruo's eyes.
Miss Du Ruo had been locked up in the mountains by her mother for too long and had never seen anything in the world. At this time, Tang Jiusheng accompanied her to see the prosperity of the world. Miss Du Ruo was really indescribably happy, and her feelings for Tang Jiusheng were getting deeper day by day. In the evening
During the break, Tang Jiusheng took Du Ruo to stay at Tailai Inn, a relatively large hotel in Yong'an City. The innkeeper saw that the young couple were well-dressed and riding a unicorn horse. They were definitely not ordinary people, so he warmly entertained them.
Tang Jiusheng was not polite. After all, she was also his fiancée. He slept in the same room with Du Ruo at night. Du Ruo was very shy. Early the next morning, Tang Jiusheng took Du Ruo straight to the Forbidden City and warned her earnestly not to say anything except calling her brother.
Don't talk nonsense. Du Ruo could only nod. Apart from listening to Tang Jiusheng, what else could she do?
Yin Guang was having breakfast with Leng Hongxing in the Yangshen Pavilion when a young eunuch on duty hurried in, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Yin Guang just picked up the bowl to drink porridge. The little eunuch yelled at him and almost choked. Yin Guang put down the porridge bowl dissatisfied and muttered: "Why are you in a hurry? If you have something to say, take a breath and speak slowly. I didn't see that I was using it."
Meal?”
The young eunuch on duty bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is the King of Guards Tang Jiu Sheng outside the palace asking to see you!"
Yin Guang was surprised, "Tang Jiusheng? What is he here for? Is he here alone?"
The little eunuch on duty said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Tang Jiusheng is not alone, he also has a beautiful girl with him!"
Yin Guang thought for a while, nodded and said: "I understand! It is said that Tang Jiu Sheng Yangshen Pavilion will meet you!" Wen Xiu and Yu Fu stood aside, neither daring to say a word. Yin Guang raised the corner of his mouth, "This Tang Jiu Sheng is good, I asked him to do things, he
Why don't you do it yourself and send that woman to the palace in person!" When Leng Hongxing heard that Tang Jiu Sheng was coming, her heart became agitated again, but her face remained calm.
After a while, Tang Jiu Sheng brought Du Ruo to the Yangshen Pavilion. Tang Jiu Sheng came with the Seven Emotions Sword on his back. This was a privilege given to Tang Jiu Sheng by Yin Guang. He could carry the sword to the palace, including when he usually met the emperor. Tang Jiu Sheng met Yin Guang.
Guang, angrily arched his hands, even if it was a courtesy.
Yin Guang smiled broadly and said, "King Wei is here, hurry up and give me a seat!" Yu Fu quickly picked up a bright yellow embroidered embroidered bag and placed it behind Tang Jiusheng.
Tang Jiusheng said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I came today to tell you something that is not convenient for outsiders to know. Please stand aside!"
Yin Guang looked around and said with a smile: "Everyone who has nothing to do with it, please leave. Wenxiu and Yu Fu will stay, right?" When the other eunuchs and maids heard the emperor's words, they all retreated one by one. Leng Hongxing was a little embarrassed, but
Know whether you are leaving or staying.
Tang Jiusheng waved his hand
, motioning for her to step back as well. Leng Hongxing then stood up, glanced at Tang Jiusheng resentfully, and exited the Yangshen Pavilion. At this time, only Tang Jiusheng, Du Ruo, Yin Guang, Wenxiu and Yu Fu were in the Yangshen Pavilion.
Tang Jiusheng glanced at Xiudun and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, your sister Du Ruo is here. This is the first time she has seen you. As an elder brother, do you want her to stand like this?"
Yin Guang was stunned for a moment, and his face turned ugly, "Tang Jiusheng, what do you mean by this? Who is my sister?"
Tang Jiusheng sneered, "Oh, my Emperor, your acting skills are really good! Look at this, you have been watching a lot of dramas recently, right? What did you say in the letter you wrote to me a few days ago? Let me put Miss Du Ruo
Execution! She said she has lost the royal family’s face, but I don’t know how she has lost the royal family’s face!”
Tang Jiusheng took Du Ruo's shoulders and gently helped her sit on the embroidered pier. Du Ruo was very uneasy and wanted to stand up again. Tang Jiusheng pressed her shoulders and said loudly: "Logically speaking, you should also be a princess.
Although your mother has no status, your father is the late emperor of Dashang after all!"
Yin Guang's face was livid, he stood up and pointed at Tang Jiusheng, his fingers trembling with anger, "Tang Jiusheng, you have gone too far!"
Tang Jiusheng's face was as dark as water, and he asked in a low voice: "Yin Guang! Everyone in the market now knows that Liu Qinghan and the late emperor Huizong had a daughter named Du Ruo, but do you think she has lost the royal family's face! Let me ask you,
Doesn't your father lose the royal face by visiting a brothel? Your father can't control the bird in his crotch, so why do you let her die? What more do you have for the royal family? Isn't other people's lives life? Is your face more important than yours?
Does her life still matter?"
Yin Guangqi was shaking all over and was speechless. Tang Jiusheng said again: "Buddha said: all living beings are equal. You can't do whatever you want just because you are the emperor! The emperor is also a human being, doesn't the emperor make mistakes? I do.
I remember that Emperor Dezong of this dynasty also issued an edict to sin against oneself! Did the edict to sin against oneself harm his image? Not only did it not damage his image, it actually made people think that this emperor was amiable, respectable and cute!"
Yu Fu was so frightened that he quickly winked at Tang Jiu Sheng and said to him, "My lord, please stop talking. Your Majesty will soon be so anxious that he will kill someone!" Yin Guang snorted coldly, "Tang Jiu Sheng, are you, a minister, allowed to discuss royal matters arbitrarily?"
?”
Tang Jiusheng laughed, "Your Majesty, I came to you today to talk about this, and I have already put life and death aside! I just want to ask your Majesty to think carefully, what if you issue an edict admitting that the late emperor was wrong? You issue an edict to confer this title on you?
What if my miserable sister becomes a princess? It will only make people think that you, the emperor, are humane! It will make people think that you, the royal family, are worth protecting with our lives!"
Yin Guang sat down on the chair and said dejectedly: "Tang Jiusheng, please stop talking. This matter is originally a scandal for the royal family. If this matter spreads out, the reputation of the royal family will really be tarnished!"
Tang Jiusheng took a few steps forward and said, "Yin Guang, my Majesty the Emperor, even if you kill Du Ruo, can you still stop the mouths of all living beings in the world? A hundred years later, the historians will not want to record this scene in the history books!
In any case, she is your father's daughter and your biological sister. She is a lonely girl. She cannot threaten your throne. If you are not nice to her, how can you let her go?
People believe that you will be good to your subjects?"
Yin Guang sighed and had nothing to say. Tang Jiusheng said excitedly: "If you openly admit that Du Ruo is your sister and make her a princess, not only will it not damage your image, but it will be praised by all people! Human beings are not good.
Sages, who can have no faults? Let me say something that I shouldn’t say. You, me, my father, and the ministers in the court who are still willing to keep the great Shang Dynasty are just wiping the late emperor’s butt today!”
Yin Guang looked at Yu Fu and said, "Yu Fu, go and bring a stool to King Wei so that he can sit down and talk!" Yu Fu agreed and moved another embroidered pier to Tang Jiu Sheng, who sat down with a smile. Yu Fu gave Tang Jiu Sheng
He winked and signaled him to stop talking.
Tang Jiusheng ignored Yu Fu's hint and chuckled: "Your Majesty, do you know why I have the courage to say these words? It's because of Jun Zhengchen that I dare to be virtuous. If it were a different emperor, maybe I wouldn't have finished speaking.
It has been pushed out and clicked!"
Yin Guang said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Tang Jiusheng, please stop flattering me, you are just relying on me to favor you! Tell me, if I really issue such an edict, how will all the princes named Yin in the world still do it?
Don't you want to shout curses everywhere?"
Tang Jiusheng laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, my sister is your sister. To put it bluntly, this is your family matter. Who can interfere with it? Who dares to interfere?"
Yin Guang raised the corner of his mouth and pointed at Tang Jiusheng, "Stop talking. Your surname is not Yin. Aren't you just interfering now?"
Tang Jiusheng said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, what you say is so sad! Although I am not surnamed Yin, I have always regarded myself as a retainer of the Yin family! I am worried about your Majesty's concerns and think about your Majesty's thoughts! In fact, this time,
If it hadn't been for your sister Du Ruo to save me, I might have died in Jixian County, and I wouldn't have risked my life to remonstrate today!"
Yin Guang was a little surprised. Tang Jiusheng told Yin Guang exactly what happened to the Daxia Guoting Mansion killers who broke into the Jixian County Yamen at night. After Yin Guang listened, he was silent.
Tang Jiusheng said again: "A good man does what a good man does, so what if others know about it? Even if you don't admit it now, the people in the market also know that the late emperor had a daughter outside the palace, and they also know that the late emperor Huizong visited a brothel and met a prostitute, and still
Why don't you admit it openly, so as not to hurt the brotherhood and be recorded in the history books! You are a wise emperor, and you have to make your ministers willing to follow an emperor like you!"
Yin Guang looked helpless and was about to say something else when someone came in from outside Yangshen Pavilion and said loudly: "Tang Jiusheng, what bad idea are you giving His Majesty?"
Tang Jiusheng turned around and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the Chief Manager is here! Chief Manager, I want to challenge you today. If I win, please Your Majesty recognize Miss Du Ruo's identity and make Miss Du Ruo a princess. If I lose
Yes, I, Tang, am willing to accept my official title and travel around the country from now on, never asking anything about our court affairs! Chief Manager, do you want to take a gamble?"
Yang Jingzhong, who had white beard and white eyebrows, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Tang Jiu Sheng, then you will definitely lose today! You are no match for us!"
