She had only been in the court for a few days, but she had already learned everything in the court.
The main hall fell silent again amid Bai Guo's words, but it was actually because of King Dingxi's words that left others speechless.
No one can refute what he says, no one dares to refute what he says, and his capital is greater than all of them on this issue.
"Country, why?"
Country, why.
"Shelter."
The four words were spoken in a low voice, but the first words he spoke also attracted the attention of several people.
The Crown Princess squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and looked at the superior after what her son said.
Seeing that he was not far behind, King Jing said: "The people need the country, so the country exists."
Xuan Yuansi frowned at these words and retorted, "The country and the people complement each other. The people need the country but they don't need the country. The state exists for protection."
Xuan Yuansi confirmed the prince's words, and the princess was secretly happy.
"But it's more than just shelter. The state exists for peace, including peace between people and peace between families. The state restricts most atrocities, provides fairness to the people, restraint to the courtiers, and peace to the families. Family suppression.”
The Crown Princess frowned, then relaxed her brows as she looked at the indifferent Ging Guo.
There are no answers to these questions, so you can say whatever you want.
What her son said was not wrong!
The first time Xuan Yuansi finished speaking, he looked at Bai Guo, as if he wanted to be affirmed, and as if he wanted to see something, but Bai Guo's eyes were calmer than those of the superior.
Seeing that Prince Gong, Prince An, the Fourteenth Prince and Prince Dingxi had no intention of speaking, Baiguo asked his third question, "What are the people?"
This time, both Prince Gong and Prince Dingxi looked strange.
The people are the people, what does the people mean?
King Dingxi obviously didn't understand what he meant, but King Dingxi had an aura of giving up to others. This aura made him seem to be very disdainful of everything in the world, and this disdain also seemed to be given to this question.
King Jing wanted to answer, but he could hear the difference between the words in succession, and he also flinched a little when no one spoke.
King An was quiet from beginning to end. At this time, he hid himself even more and wished he could leave quickly, so he wouldn't say anything more.
Xuanyuan wanted to answer, but he opened his mouth several times but closed it again. After looking at the silent expressions of the people in front and the Queen Mother above, she still did not continue to speak.
Sometimes being too dazzling is not necessarily a good thing.
"Serve the country and serve the people."
The Fourteenth Prince's voice sounded childish and sleepy. He didn't know if it was because the place was so quiet that he, who fell asleep listening to the sound of his master reading, couldn't sleep well before he spoke.
Prince Gong would never speak on an issue that he was not sure about without permission, and Prince Dingxi would not talk much if he was empty.
Bai Guo glanced at several people and continued to ask: "Why is the official?"
This time King Jing answered very quickly, "Redress the grievances of the people, complain about the injustice for the people, and do justice for the people."
The prince said, "Working for the court, what you do is for the country and the people, it is remarkable, and you are loved by the people."
Xuan Yuansi sighed, "Officials, like parents, educate the people in the place they manage."
Xuan Yuansi didn't say anything else, but this short sentence gave everyone a lot of ideas to talk about.
"The official is the leader of the people and the envoy of the state, conveying news between the two."
The Fourteenth Prince's words attracted the Queen Mother to look over.
Bai Guo once again confirmed that no one wanted to ask again after speaking: "Why are you a king?"
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
This kind of silence is completely different from the silence before. The silence before was silent, but the silence now is silence.
Xuan Xian was more indifferent than Bai Guo, and didn't have any unnecessary emotions about this issue.
The Crown Princess held down the Crown Prince who wanted to answer again and shook her head slightly.
The emperor doesn't care about being asked this question, but he doesn't necessarily care about being discussed about it.
There was still silence in the main hall, and the time of burning incense was long and short.
Bai Guo asked again: "As a monarch, what should I think of as a minister?"
This time it was a quieter emptiness than before.
No one dares to answer, because answering means that they have thought about it, and thinking about it means that they want this position...
Ging Guo waited for another two breaths, "What should a king think about his parents and relatives?"
Everyone was forced to answer but didn't know how to answer.
If it weren't for the first three words, none of them would be able to answer this question.
Bai Guo's eyes scanned the people who were about to speak but stopped, and continued to ask: "What should the emperor do when the opinions of the ministers are different? What should the emperor do when the opinions of the ministers are blocked by the ministers? Is the emperor completely obedient? What do courtiers say? What does a ruler do when he is unable to hear and see clearly and does not understand the local situation? What does a ruler do when he is deceived by the courtiers below?"
The successive questions caused some changes in Xuanxian's eyes, which had been silent for an unknown amount of time.
The Queen Mother listened to each sentence and looked down one by one. To be fair, she could not ask these questions and would not ask them.
It must be said that Princess Kangle was very courageous. When the emperor asked her to ask, she really asked about things that the next monarch should know. She asked calmly and without any tact, and no one dared to answer the question.
The Queen Mother looked at Prince Gong again.
The person who always makes complete confirmation before doing anything has not spoken for a long time. It's not that he doesn't want to speak, but that he can no longer speak.
Silence on any previous question indicates that he will not be able to leave.
Each problem will become more serious and more consuming than the last one.
The Queen Mother looked at the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince on the other side.
What I saw was a scene where one person wanted to say something but the other person's eyes were stern to stop it.
In such a scene, the prince reluctantly endured what he wanted to say.
The Queen Mother turned it once and found nothing. When she came to her senses, she suddenly felt ridiculous.
Who is this throne fighting for, and who is fighting for it?
King Dingxi had already changed back to the same appearance as when he first came in. He didn't look like he was in the imperial study room, but he seemed to be in his own palace about to sleep.
So after seeing this, Xuan Xian didn't let Bai Guo ask again, "Everyone, please step aside."
Xuan Xian's voice was deeper than usual. Bai Guo wanted to stand up but was stopped by Xuan Xian's eyes. Bai Guo sat still and no one wanted to move, but no one dared to really disobey this superior. Order, so even if there are thousands of thoughts in my heart, I can only get up at this time.
The Crown Princess and Si Jiaojie looked at each other and sat motionless, and the Crown Prince also sat motionless when he saw them.
The Queen Mother became more and more displeased with these three people and said, "The Ai family is also tired, so I won't accompany the emperor."
Xuan Xian almost stood up at the Queen Mother's words, "I will accompany my mother back."
Ging Guo also stood up and followed.
The Crown Princess was a little dumbfounded. She stood up and continued to sit.
Si Jiaojie reacted very quickly, and her eyes that were originally dim and silent returned to their former self, "I and the Crown Princess are accompanying the Emperor to send his mother back. I am worried about the Emperor's health..."
At this, Xuanxian glanced over with a cold look, and Si Jiaojie's next words were all stuck in his throat.
The Queen Mother glanced at him and turned around before walking out. Xuanxian saw that Si Jiaojie was not talking before he walked out under Su Qing's anxiety.
Bai Guo thought that the emperor stopped him because he wanted to say something, but when he walked all the way to the Queen Mother's palace and didn't say anything, Bai Guo became confused.
The Queen Mother was also confused, but she didn't know what the Emperor meant, let alone what to say, so she simply had the meal passed around.
After a few people sat down, Xuan Xian said his first words, "I haven't had a meal with you for a long time."
Bai Guo didn't know where Xuan Xian meant this.
Although they haven't had a meal for a long time, most of the time they don't discuss anything during the meal, let alone have any unforgettable things during the meal.
Just like now, a meal is just a meal.
After quietly finishing, Xuanxian didn't stay with her, Bai Guo got up and left.
But when they left the palace gate, Bai Guo realized something was wrong.
Where is Pang Yang?
Pang Yang from the harem could not come in, but he would never leave without letting people talk to her.
But now she didn't see anyone when she came out, and there was no sign of Pang Yang's whereabouts or smell.
Bai Guo looked around and saw many palace maids and eunuchs avoiding her eyes.
This scene is very familiar. It was exactly the same scene when the emperor asked her opinion and asked her to enter the palace when the court wanted to escort grain and grass to Yifeng.
But it's also different.
Bai Guo's eyes swept across Su Qing who was escorting him out, "Eunuch Su Qing, I will only ask once, where is Brother Pang Yang?"
Su Qing's anxiety turned into cold sweat this time, "I also want to tell the princess, but I..."
Su Qing made a bitter look on her face, "Princess, please spare the slave! The slave really dare not say anything!"
He said that the person he offended was the superior, not to mention Princess Kangle. It would be too obvious for others to choose, but he already knew the difference in this person's heart, so he could clearly reject what he said at this time. He was bitter and fully displayed his embarrassment.
But obviously this trick is useful for others, but at this moment Baiguo has no effect at all. "The emperor asked you to see me off, which means that I know about this matter, or you want me to go back and ask the emperor, and talk to the emperor." your business?"
The pain on Su Qing's face became even worse, and she begged for mercy again and again, "Farewell, Princess, slave... I'll just reveal a little bit to you, it's a good thing!"
Bai Guo's eyes didn't change when he looked at Su Qing's pretentious face. Su Qing didn't know why this person kept staring at him, and felt a chill running down his back.
"Eunuch Su Qing..." Bai Guo spoke softly, which made Su Qing instinctively feel something was wrong, "I haven't seen Eunuch Sunai in the past few days, do you know where he went?!"
Where did Sunai go...
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Su Qing's forehead, "Princess Princess... this matter is not something that only servants can know. If the princess is curious, I can't answer you."
Bai Guo withdrew his eyes from Su Qing, "You said it was a good thing, but who knows if a good thing for you in this world is a good thing for others? Just tell me what the emperor wants to do with Brother Pang Yang."
Su Qing grimaced, "I really don't dare to say that. Princess, you know that I can't control my mouth when I'm doing royal business..."
Ge Yin slowly took a small step forward to straighten Bai Guo's hanging sleeves, hiding the nervousness and confusion that were different from the indifference on his face and eyes.
The stinging pain made Bai Guo know clearly where he was now, and what he was asking now.
