34th dragon scale (24)
The Emperor didn't answer Linglong's question immediately, but took out a handkerchief from his arms, carefully wiped the palm of Linglong's jujube core, and stretched out to her: "come to my arms."
Linglong lifted her eyelids and said, "No."
Well, if she doesn't come, so did he.
The emperor got up, picked Linglong up from the stone stool, then sat down on her stool and put her in his arms. His arms tightly wrapped around her waist, as if he was afraid that she would run away again if she disagreed“ What would you do if someone made you unhappy? "
She naturally replied, "just kill it?"
Then he wrinkled his nose, as if the emperor's words were strange, "who makes me unhappy, I'll make him even more unhappy. Isn't this a very simple thing? I will naturally be happy if all the unpleasant things are destroyed. "
These words were really cold-blooded. In her eyes, human life seemed not human life, but a toy to please her.
The emperor was not surprised that Linglong would say such words. He had been with her for a long time. He knew that she just looked naive and often said some brilliant words, but she was more cruel than anyone. The most shocking thing is that this cold-blooded is not her deliberate disguise, nor her distorted character, but her nature. Just as people eat chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, pigs and cattle, they don't take the lives of livestock seriously, and she doesn't take human life seriously.
Do you feel guilty about killing a mosquito and cutting open a fish? Will someone criticize others for their cruelty because they eat livestock meat?
"Man and beast are different." The emperor said in a warm voice, "baby, tell me, are the claws and teeth of tigers and lions more powerful than human beings?"
Linglong nodded. She had slept alone in the human world for a long time, from no life to human reproduction. Although she didn't see it all in her eyes, she also roughly understood the whole process, and had seen the fierce beasts in the mountains tear human beings to pieces. Compared with beasts with sharp claws and teeth and rich hunting skills, humans are really too fragile. Their teeth are not sharp enough and their claws are not threatening. They are simply too weak to be weak.
The most interesting thing is that human beings are the first creatures she has ever seen that can use ideas to imprison or even kill similar creatures. Before that, the intelligence of animals she saw is hardly worth mentioning compared with human beings.
"But such a powerful tiger and lion are locked in a cage made by human beings and learn to head the ball, drill the fire circle and flatter human beings."
Linglong didn't understand what he wanted to say, but what he said was really something she had always been curious about. When she aroused interest, she sat in the emperor's arms without struggling or moving. She didn't even eat dates and listened to him quietly.
"Law, order and morality should restrain themselves before restraining others. We were born as human beings and independent individuals with ideas. That's why we learned to be united, mutual aid and friendly. You can't deny that this is a beautiful quality. "
Linglong nodded. She had met such a person“ But there are also many bad qualities. "
"This is the importance of legal order and morality. No matter how fierce the tiger and lion are, they can't compare with human wisdom. Human beings need to restrain themselves in order to move towards a better future. You see, the people living on the sea in the south live on water and have to fish and weave nets every day to maintain their life. But when the imperial court has not issued a ban on fishing, they have spontaneously stopped fishing for several months every year, in order to make the fish grow better and survive in the coming year. "
Linglong blinked and listened carefully. "Do you want to say that people are very good?"
"I want to tell you that the world will make mistakes, but also repent. This is why the law gives people a chance to reform." The emperor gently touched her ear, "it's true that today's law is not mature enough. I'm afraid I won't see it in my lifetime, but I believe that if I go on for generations, sooner or later, women can study, study and start a family, and men can choose the path they want. Workers, peasants, businessmen and soldiers are no longer high or low, so they are exquisite. Can you understand? We need a lot of time to be better ourselves. "
She shook her head. She didn't quite understand, but she did see how they gradually evolved from walking on all fours to walking upright, and how they changed from drinking blood and meat to making food and clothes, and gradually evolved into today's humans. At that time, the "people" she met, even the soul, were thin and ethereal, not to mention the fragrance, which made her want to eat.
"I'm not perfect. Tinglan is my daughter. If she does something wrong, I will punish her according to law, but you can't kill her and her son-in-law directly as you want. " The emperor chuckled, "as soon as you lose your temper and turn around, you won't even listen to me. What can I do?"
Linglong retorted, "you don't want Zhai Mo to die for fear that your daughter will be hurt."
The emperor was helpless: "before I finished, you came here and kicked here. Where did you give me a chance to continue?"
Until now, he remembered that the foot still hurt faintly at that time, and he had to be comforted by her.
Unfortunately, is Linglong the one who will admit her mistake? She blew out her breath from her nose and said irrationally, "who wants you to talk at length every time? How can I have the patience to hear you finish? Look, look, you said a lot just now. Do you still need to teach me these principles? Besides, why should I abide by the rules of the human world? "
She thought that the emperor would be annoyed when she was so rude, but he connived at her and rubbed her pink face: "because I love you, you will not fail me."
Linglong was speechless. She blinked and blinked again and again. Finally, she murmured: "... Well, you're reasonable. Tell me how to deal with it."
When it comes to business, the emperor doesn't linger with her. His voice is deep and powerful: "according to the law, Tinglan will be imprisoned for ten years, and all regulatory salaries will be punished. Wan's life will be killed, his position will be taken away, he will be demoted to a common man, and he will move to the cold palace."
Then he paused. Obviously, he hated Zhai Mo more than Tinglan and wanguifei“ As for the son-in-law, it's natural to change his fame, accompany the princess, and take his mother who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. "
The punishment was fair. Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "you're right. I suddenly think you're reasonable."
Emperor: "huh?"
"Xie chusu's father and daughter are dead. Even if you want these people's lives, it won't help. How can bad people make up for their mistakes as long as they die? It's better to suffer alive. Day and night, life is worse than death. "
The emperor leaned in her ear and said two words. Linglong suddenly stared, then smiled and kissed the emperor on the cheek: "you are good or bad!"
The mouth is bad, but the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are smiling. I really learned today. It turns out that punishing others is not the happiest way to kill others. There are other ways. The old fox is worthy of being an old fox.
The emperor chuckled: "Tinglan is my daughter. If she makes a mistake, I will punish her. Her temperament is one thing, and the temptation of her son-in-law is another. Doesn't he like to be this son-in-law? Want to make progress? "
What if you can't do it all your life?
His daughter did something wrong and didn't pay attention to the people's lives. If the emperor was an infatuated monarch, he would not take it seriously. But he worked for the people all his life. Today, he tolerated Ting LAN and others, and tomorrow he will lose the people's support and waste his hard work for decades. In the history books in the future, the emperor will be infamous for thousands of years.
Tinglan likes her son-in-law. Zhai Mo doesn't want to be her son-in-law. Zhai Mo's mother is greedy for wealth. Zhai Mo is the center of all this.
It is said that the Zhai family is a single biography of five generations. Zhai Mo was brought up by his widowed mother. It can be found that the clear Emperor didn't know how much help the Xie family father and daughter had done. Even such a generous benefactor, the mother and son can forget it in an instant. What is the need to continue such a blood? How long can Tinglan love her inhumane husband? After many years, will she regret wasting her life for such a thing when she was young?
The emperor did what he said. He not only punished them, but also informed the world of the charges of these people. If Zhai Mo was envied and admired at first, it would be despised now. The Xie family's father and daughter are not only his enlightenment mentor and fiancee? Even the benefactor who saved them from fire and water. It's not too much to say a word of kindness and reconstruction. Who knows that once he developed, he turned his face and didn't recognize people. He forced people to death in order to climb a high branch, even if he didn't do it himself, but if it has nothing to do with him, who would believe it?
And the ten thousand imperial concubines, although they love their daughter dearly, don't take the lives of the people seriously. Princess Tinglan knows that Zhai Mo has a fiancee and wants to rob them. Can Jinzhiyuye not see human lives?
However, the Emperor himself wrote a Book of sin against himself, stating that although he was the son of heaven, he was also a father. Ting LAN made a mistake. He was also ashamed. He punished himself for not eating meat, sleeping, brocade and clothes for three years. This is the first emperor to admit his mistake to the people in all ages!
Therefore, after Zhai Mo and others were scolded, the emperor successfully ushered in a wave of fame. Not only that, even the emperor's concubine and his own daughter were severely punished. Who else in other noble families dared to be tyrannical? The emperor abolished the law of suing the emperor, so there was another wave of crazy praise. Literati wrote poems and praised the merits. Every day, the emperor came back from the next Dynasty with a deep and cold look. As soon as he saw Linglong, he smiled and hugged her to share the hymns written by the world to himself.
Linglong is really convinced by this scheming old dog!
She learned! She will play like this in the future!
Tinglan did not expect her father to check everything clearly. When she learned that her Princess title had been cut and was banned again, she was almost crazy! Clamoring to see the emperor, the head of the official who came to escort her looked very cold: "the holy Master said that even if you know you are wrong, you should still be punished. It's useless to regret."
Tinglan is crying to see Princess Wan again, but Princess Wan is lying on the bed in the cold palace with a hundred boards. The bedding is old and airy, and the walls are mottled and moldy. No one cares about her life or death, let alone competing for favor. It's difficult to live. Where can she have the energy to consider Tinglan? If the king of Huaiyang hadn't secretly taken care of it, I'm afraid he would die of a high fever!
The delicate and snow-white body she maintained couldn't stand the 100 boards. Wan hated her teeth and regretted that she had done it. But she only regretted that she hadn't been hidden and careful enough and was caught.
She died with a stick, and Xie Wanshu was killed alive. Such a gentle man was beaten on the stool, his flesh and blood flying, and his bones were broken. Who knows that one day, Wan will also be punished from a high imperial concubine to a common man? She began to be suspicious. She always felt that Xie Wanshu was haunted. She asked her to hit him all day. As time went on, she was in bad spirits.
Tinglan cried and was locked up in the west house, which was specially used to imprison the emperor's relatives. After the emperor ascended the throne, the law was strict and everyone acted cautiously. The west house, which had been neglected for many years, finally welcomed the first guest.
There are no servants here to serve people. Only twice a day palace people come to deliver meals, and there are no chickens, ducks and fish. They are all rough meals that are difficult to swallow. There will be no fragrant and soft beds in cold winter and December. They have to do everything by themselves. No one speaks and no one sees. The mental torture day after day is enough to make people collapse.
When food, clothing, housing and transportation become a problem, "love" is not worth mentioning.
At first, Tinglan could dictate to Zhai's mother to serve, but how could Zhai's mother bear it over time? She didn't like this arrogant and domineering Princess daughter-in-law. She endured it all the time because of each other's noble status. Now the emperor doesn't care about Tinglan. What else is she afraid of?
Zhai's mother made a living by washing people and doing some rough work before meeting Xie's father and daughter. She was born with a big arm and a round waist. Can Tinglan be her opponent? After being beaten hard for a few times, she became honest. The princess, who was tired of delicacies, even learned to wash clothes and draw water to serve people. As for Zhai mo... He was greatly hit and kept silent all day. No matter Zhai's mother's coaxing, beating and scolding, it didn't help.
His fame is gone, and his reputation outside has smelled. Everyone takes him as a negative example of treachery. What's the use of his ambition and talent? The Holy Lord despised him, and he had no hope in his life.
I hate my mother. If she hadn't encouraged me to be a princess, Chu Su is still with him now. Mr. Xie is wise and knowledgeable. He must be able to guide him to make progress. Why wronged himself to please the wayward Princess and ended up like this?
Therefore, the three people hate each other. Over time, Tinglan is stronger and younger. If Zhai's mother hits her again, she will fight back. Zhai's mother, who has been beaten black and blue, runs to find Zhai Mo to vent her anger. Unexpectedly, Zhai Mo only blames her for being poor and loving the rich, causing him to live up to the Xie family's father and daughter!
The son is the lifeblood of Zhai's mother. The son hates himself. Zhai's mother collapsed!
Because of these things, Tinglan and Zhai mo were no longer close. When Zhai Mo lived in the west house for half a year, he found that he couldn't stand up! The thing under him was as unresponsive as death!
When Tinglan learned that, she immediately cried and regretted. Zhai's mother fainted directly and washed her face with tears when she woke up. They don't have a doctor here. Their family is a queen!
The only king of Huaiyang, after his mother and sister were punished, took the initiative to plead guilty and said he was not a good son or brother. He volunteered to guard the imperial mausoleum. It is reasonable to say that the death of Xie's father and daughter has little to do with him. He is just greedy for Xie chusu's beauty. It's really not a big deal.
Therefore, this initiative to admit his mistake made people feel that he had a responsibility, not to mention that he asked the emperor to allow him to visit Wan Shi and Tinglan before he set out. The image of a good son and brother who knew the great meaning immediately became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Linglong: Oh, I've learned. She'll play like this next time.
Humans are so treacherous!
She used to be naive, she would say what she thought, and she would start when she was unhappy. Now she knows that cutting meat with a blunt knife is more painful - thanks to the emperor's earnest instruction, and even seems to be better than the blue.
I feel that there are still many places where she wants to learn from human beings!
The king of Huaiyang, once in the center of power and regarded by many as the future prince, fell off the altar overnight and was reduced to guarding the imperial mausoleum outside. Who doesn't know that guarding the imperial mausoleum is a hard job? Not only is it remote and cold, but the most important thing is to express respect. You can't drink, eat meat, and be close to women! It has always been the treatment of the prince who made a big mistake. The king of Huaiyang volunteered in person!
It shows that his character is outstanding!
Therefore, although the king of Huaiyang has left, his reputation is better.
People handled it almost the same. Linglong's greatest pleasure became eating in front of the emperor. He looks old. He is not a hairy young man, but he is happy without meat. He wrote an edict that he would not eat wine and meat for three years, but he is still implementing it very seriously!
Linglong chewed chicken legs in front of him, and the emperor ate green vegetables and tofu in front of her. In order to implement the policy of being vegetarian to the end, even the bottom of tofu soup is vegetarian. In the past, the emperor ate tofu like this! It's the best time to boil the chicken soup. Skim the tofu boiled with oil flowers and bite the delicious tofu. Now the tofu
Linglong ridiculed him wantonly: "is tofu delicious, holy master? Do you think my chicken leg is delicious? I feel a little oily. It's annoying. I'll give you a reward! "
