Wang Shaoji sneered, "You didn't, so what do you mean by these words?"
"..."
"It is an iron law that superiors and inferiors should be respected and the same crime should not be punished with the same punishment. These southerners have been used to being free and undisciplined for a long time, and they have neglected discipline. That's why they are so unscrupulous and unscrupulous. According to your words, you have further encouraged those people. With such arrogance, in the future, they will not only bully the Imperial Guards, but they will also bully us, and even more so, His Majesty!"
Shang Ruyi's brows knitted into a knot.
She had long heard that Wang Shaoji, as a close minister, never dissuaded some of the emperor's ridiculous decrees, but was suspected of fanning the flames and aiding the emperor to commit abuses. Now it seems that fanning the flames and assisting the emperor to commit abuses is a minor offense.
What he said sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, but every sentence and every word was confusing right and wrong. If Chu Yang really listened to his advice, I am afraid that the emperor's prestige would be completely lost in Jiang. It's more likely to cause trouble!
However, trying to argue the right and wrong with him is not only laborious, but also completely meaningless.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi did not engage in a verbal argument and just turned to face Chu Yang.
She took a deep breath and said seriously: "Your Majesty, what Ruyi said just now was definitely not meant to confuse superiors and inferiors, but was all about your Majesty."
"oh?"
Chu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you say that?"
Shang Ruyi said: "Your Majesty is touring Jiangdu Palace this time, no matter how long you stay, it is the duty of the old palace guards to stay and guard Jiangdu Palace, and the Imperial Guards protect Your Majesty. The ultimate goal of both groups is the same, so they should be sincere Cooperation and unity both internally and externally can ensure the safety of His Majesty and the safety of Jiangdu Palace."
"..."
"However, if we deal with them indiscriminately, it will inevitably cause disunity between the two sides. This will be detrimental to His Majesty."
There is a missing piece in the middle on purpose.
And this missing word can be associated with many things, and what the emperor directly thought of must be "safety."
The guards of the old palace have been guarding Jiangdu Palace for many years. They are indeed the most familiar with this place. If the guards are dissatisfied, it will be a big trouble if something big happens.
Moreover, although Shang Ruyi's words were very restrained, if you think about it more deeply, you can still think of many things. In fact, he doesn't care about the truth. It's enough if someone investigates and someone is punished. But the fall of Luoyang this time will have a great impact on the officials in the court and the people all over the world. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid it will caused some public dissatisfaction.
In the past, Chu Yang would never have cared about the attitude of the people, let alone any dissent among his subordinates. For him, all injustices and injustices could be settled by killing them.
However, the fall of Luoyang and the rebellion of the Lei family father and daughter made him feel the crisis.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang also frowned.
Wang Shaoji on the side saw this situation and hurriedly wanted to say something: "Your Majesty——"
Chu Yang raised his hand to stop him.
He looked down at Shang Ruyi. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "You are right."
Shang Ruyi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
And when she said these words, she broke into a cold sweat. Just now, she was really worried that Chu Yang would not listen to her words. If he judged that she had overstepped her bounds, it would really be a disaster. ….
Fortunately, he listened to those words.
Chu Yang said: "Inner chamberlain, please send someone down immediately to find out the matter and report it immediately."
Eunuch Yu immediately said: "Yes!"
Wang Shaoji frowned and watched Eunuch Yu turn and leave, gritting his teeth in hatred, but at this time, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only suppress it. After all, he did not dare to say anything after the emperor had already decided.
However, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.
He turned back to look at Shang Ruyi, who was standing next to Chu Yang, with a hint of sinister flash in his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Young madam, you are indeed thoughtful. Just now, I was not thoughtful enough."
Shang Ruyi didn't know what he was planning, so he said in a lukewarm tone: "General Wang has come
Awarded. "
Wang Shaoji smiled again and said: "I'm not giving you a reward. I have always felt that among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only the general of the auxiliary country was wise, powerful, thoughtful, and a minister that the emperor could rely on. It's a pity that he went south to Jiangdu Palace this time. I can't accompany you; I didn't expect that the young lady is also like my husband. It seems that the virtuous couple have a good connection, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they are really connected."
…
After he said these words, the whole garden fell silent.
Wang Shaoji, on the other hand, was resting and looking at the two faces with different expressions in front of him.
Chu Yang was silent for a long time, and then said to him: "Go down, I will find you again when the matter is cleared up."
"yes."
Wang Shaoji bowed, turned around and left. And before leaving, he turned back and gave Shang Ruyi a sinister look, with a sharp gaze that seemed to tear the person apart.
Shang Ruyi just stood there blankly.
In fact, she is not afraid. After all, the conflict between her and him is no longer just a matter of time. When she was with Yu Wenye, she had fought with Wang Shaoji more than once. Even if the two sides were not fighting to the death, at least they could not be in peace. state of coexistence.
only……
"what's on your mind?"
When Chu Yang's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, Shang Ruyi's breathing suddenly sank. She raised her head and met those slender eyes. At this moment, Chu Yang's eyes were more eager than before, even a little hot. The temperature has completely cooled down, and even his breath is cold: "Who are you thinking about?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi composed himself and said softly: "Your Majesty, your sword dance just now seems to have the style of the Pei family of Xihe."
"Um?"
Chu Yang was a little surprised that she would suddenly talk about this, but the inexplicable displeasure in his heart subsided a little because of her words, and said, "Do you know Pei Yunshen?"
Shang Ruyi nodded gently.
Although she was not good at socializing in the past and did not often associate with young men from wealthy families, she still knew that Pei Yunshen was famous all over the world and was known as the "Sword Master". Moreover, this Pei Yunshen is the uncle of Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Pei Shi, who was previously criticized by Chu Yang. However, he has no intention of pursuing an official career and spends his life with swords. Pei's sword dance is world-famous, and almost everyone knows it.
Whether it was because he was said to have the charm of others, or because mentioning Pei Yunshen made him think of Pei Shi and made him unhappy, Chu Yang's face immediately darkened. ….
He said coldly: "Don't think that because Pei Yunshen is good at sword dancing, every time you see sword dancing, it belongs to his Pei family. There are so many people in the world who know how to sword dance. Is it possible that the only person in the world's mind is Pei?"
"..."
"He just brought his apprentice, one named Sun Linglong, to perform a sword dance for the late emperor. I just took a look."
"..."
"My sword dance is my own realization and has nothing to do with him."
"..."
"I am not like that person named Pei."
What he said is not unreasonable. In fact, there is a family of sword dances in the world. No matter how it is performed and changed, it remains the same. However, Chu Yang's sword dance is indeed very different from Pei's sword dance. . Pei Yunshen's sword dance focuses on the combination of hardness and softness, agility and elegance, while Chu Yang's sword dance is wanton, arrogant and uninhibited, almost a reflection of his own soul.
The movements and postures may be similar, but the souls are definitely not similar.
No wonder, his words angered him.
However, his words seemed a little proud and a little childish. Although his heart was as messed up as a ball of numbness, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but reveal a look that seemed like a smile on his face, and said softly: "Your Majesty said it." yes."
Although he seemed to be annoyed, Chu Yang's mood improved again when he saw Shang Ruyi's smile.
He still said seriously: "I am me. Only people in the world are like me, and no one else is like me. Do you understand?"
Shang Ruyi nodded and said, "Ruyi understands."
Chu Yang nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Eunuch Yu had already given the order and came back. As soon as Shang Ruyi saw him, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Ruyi is a little tired and wants to go back and rest."
Chu Yang also saw that her face was a little pale, so he nodded: "I will take you back."
"Need not,"
Shang Ruyi lowered his head and said softly: "Your Majesty has just arrived at Jiangdu Palace, and there are still things to deal with. Ruyi can go back by himself."
"..."
Hearing what she said, Chu Yang couldn't help but frown, but he could only say: "Then, you can go back."
"Resign as you wish."
Shang Ruyi saluted him, turned around and left.
She didn’t know whether it was because the sword dance she had just done had consumed too much energy, or whether the dispute with Wang Shaoji had made her mentally exhausted. Going back this way would be much heavier than when she came. When she finally returned When Shang Ruyi opened the door of that palace and walked to the bedside to sit down, he felt that all the muscles and bones in his body were a little weak.
She slowly leaned back on the cushions and let out a long breath.
Yu Wenye.
Yu Wenye......
Having just heard the name unexpectedly, she almost used up all her strength to restrain herself, not showing any emotional ups and downs, and not letting Wang Shaoji get his wish.
But only she knew that at that moment, her heart was beating so fast that it almost hurt.
These days, she deliberately didn't let herself think about it, let alone ask, but the words Woxue said to her unintentionally were like a needle as thin as an ox hair, pricking her heart heavily. These days, she was tortured all the time - Wen Ye was in a coma due to blood loss and was in danger. It was because of this that she fainted and took her away from the village.
Hemorrhage and coma, in danger...
Aren't the three arrows he was hit not life-threatening? Even after he pulled out the arrows, he was still able to visit Empress Jiang? Why is it at stake again?
Could it be that the cracked wound was really that serious?
How is he doing now?
Still...alive?
She felt that she shouldn't think about this problem, but it was like a nightmare that drove her away when she was awake, but haunted her when she was weak.
Chu Yang refused to face the swarm of rebels from all over the country, but she did not even dare to face a person's life or death.
ridiculous……
She stretched out her hands to cover her eyes, feeling hot waves rising in her eyes. She murmured: "It's ridiculous...".
