Xiao Changyi couldn't help but smile when he saw Shao Xi's confused expression, stood up and came to Shao Xi. He patted Shao Xi on the shoulder and said: "I just tried your courage. It was also in this imperial study room that you complained to me in front of me because of Miss Ye Ziyuan.
"Later I learned that she was your married wife, and I was wondering if it was because the matter concerned you that you were so fearless of life and death when you argued with me without fear of life and death? What if one day a fight with yourself happened? If it has nothing to do with you, would you risk your life to remonstrate without fear of power?
"The good ministers I need are not only those who speak with the world in mind, but also those who dare to serve the people of the world without fear of life and death or power. I know everything you did on the way to Nanzhao this time. You did not disappoint me.
"Just now, for the sake of the people of Yujiang County and the people of this world, you did not hesitate to risk offending me and spoke out generously. Exposing Xiao Yuzhi's crimes is the only way for me to really admire you." Shao Xi couldn't help but think again in his heart. He started to curse. Even if he knew that this old emperor boy was related to him, it still made Shao Xi feel very unhappy when he tested himself like this.
Shao Xi was really shocked by him just now. After all, this matter involved his biological son. If he really fell out with him, he really had no choice but to crane his neck and wait. Cutting off the head, now it seems that he is really a virtuous king.
But if you want to be an emperor, you should be an emperor. Isn't it a little bad to use your status as an emperor to scare people?
People say that the king's heart is as deep as the abyss and unpredictable, and it is absolutely true! This is not according to common sense. It is indeed a common trick for monarchs to test their subordinates in various ways. But isn't it a bit too much for you to always use it on me?
Although Shao Xi was dissatisfied, he did not show it at all on his face. Instead, he bowed down and flattered Xiao Changyi: "The humble minister dares to remonstrate directly because he knows in his heart that the Holy Lord is a wise king, and he has the people of the world in his heart.
"If someone does something to harm the people, bring trouble to the imperial court, or endanger the world, even if he is the son of the Holy One, I am convinced that the Holy One will not have the slightest sense of partiality.
"The Holy One said personally at the beginning that this world is the Holy One's world, and it is also the world of the people in the world. No matter who is causing harm to the world, the Holy One will treat them equally." Shao Xi's words flattered Xiao Changyi at the same time.
You said it yourself at the beginning, that as the emperor, you were asking for life for the people of the world. Now that your own son has done such a thing, no one is forcing you to kill your son, but if you can't do it yourself, What he said back then was like farting.
As an emperor, wouldn't it be a slap in the face if his words didn't count? Shao Xi's words at this time are equivalent to telling Xiao Changyi neither softly nor hardly. Now the evidence is conclusive. I am not the only one watching what you do, but everyone in the world.
If you claim to be a wise king, you must handle official business. If you are reluctant to part with your son, then you should play less trumpets and sing high-pitched songs in the future. No one will believe your words as an emperor in the future.
Besides, what Xiao Yuzhi did was also endangering the authority of the royal family. Even if he is your son, if you don't handle this matter well, it will set a precedent. If the descendants of the Xiao family follow suit in the future, they will definitely follow suit. It would shake the Xiao family's dominance over the Jingyuan Dynasty.
This is not as simple as it is now! If the Xiao family loses the world in the future, you, Xiao Changyi, will be the eternal sinner of the Xiao family.
So Shao Xi threw the problem to Xiao Changyi with just one sentence. If you don't deal with your son, then all the consequences in the future will be blamed on you, Xiao Changyi.
Who is Xiao Changyi? That is the current emperor of the Jingyuan Dynasty! He was in this position amidst the chaos and bloodshed back then. How could he not understand this truth?
How could he not hear Shao Xi's strange annoyance? Seeing Shao Xi mocking him respectfully, Xiao Changyi also felt a little bit dumbfounded. The boy in front of him had extraordinary talents and courage. He dared to make insinuations and criticize Huai in front of him. He was really not afraid of death!
However, the more Shao Xi acted like this, the more Xiao Changyi felt relieved. Regardless of what Shao Xi's purpose was, it was indeed commendable that he dared to be so outspoken about Xiao Yuzhi's crimes even though he knew Xiao Yuzhi's identity.
"You are quite courageous, but you don't have to make fun of me. Do you think I really don't know what my son is thinking and doing?
"I have watched them grow up, and what they say and do is always under my concern. But it is precisely because they are all my sons that there are some things that I cannot do personally. As a person, As a minister, you should share my worries, and you will do the things that are difficult for me to do.
"Xiao Yuzhi is the mausoleum king, and the second prince of the current dynasty actually did these things. Naturally, I will not be partial. And if you have meritorious service in exposing Xiao Yuzhi's crimes, I will also reward you.
"I want all the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the people of the world to know that everyone in front of me will be rewarded for their merits and punished for their crimes, even my own son." Upon hearing this, Shao Xi said yes in his heart. Guy!
It turns out that you, this old boy, know everything, but it’s just because you can’t do it yourself, so you use me to help you collect evidence, expose and report, and then you can smooth things over.
Finally, perform a drama of a virtuous king and a good minister for the world to see. Not only will everyone in the world know that you are a good emperor, but no one will criticize you as a father for killing your own son.
After all, it was the son who was at fault first! Moreover, it was exposed by the ministers. As the emperor, you acted impartially and did not show favoritism, but you gained a good reputation for yourself.
If something goes wrong in the future, you don't have to bear the infamy. You can just push me out and accuse me of falsely accusing the prince. You and his grandmother have been treating me as a gunman from the beginning. It's so unkind!
It turns out that the most cunning old fox in the world is the one sitting on the throne! Thinking of this, Shao Xi felt like a crow flying over his head with a bunch of ellipses.
It turns out that I was trying to be smart about this matter from beginning to end. It turns out that everything is under the control of this old emperor.
Shao Xi suddenly felt that he was being fooled, and the person who was playing tricks on him was the one he couldn't afford to offend the most. Even if he wanted to scold her again, he had to hold it in.
Seeing Xiao Changyi's smiling expression, Shao Xi wanted to go up and give him a big dick, but he could only think about it.
Xiao Changyi seemed to feel quite happy looking at Shao Xi's gnashing of teeth, an expression uglier than crying.
This boy is indeed very capable. He just sent him on a mission to Southern Zhao and he helped him solve so many problems. He is really a talented person.
The emergence of such people among the younger generation is a good thing for the entire Jingyuan Empire. You must know that governing the world is not just about enthusiasm!
In addition to literary, military, and political talents, it also requires a tough character, an ever-changing mind, and methods that are different from ordinary people.
At present, Shao Xi has all these conditions, but he is still young and has little experience. I believe that with time and good training, Shao Xi will become a political wizard with a calm mind and sophisticated methods.
Moreover, Xiao Changyi could see that Shao Xi was a person of pure character. Although his behavior was a bit eccentric, his character was as clear as water and as white as jade.
If a person's background is clean, then his motives will not be evil. Even if he uses some means that are beyond ordinary people's understanding, they are just means. As long as the ultimate goal is correct, it is enough.
To put it bluntly, the image of a gentleman is just a human construct, and there are many sanctimonious people who look serious on the surface.
Just like himself, the emperor of the Jingyuan Empire, didn't he often use some dirty methods in order to maintain his image?
Seeing that Shao Xi was stunned and didn't reply to his words, Xiao Changyi continued: "I know you are unhappy and feel that you are being used by me, but why can't I help myself?
"As the king of a country, you need to have the majesty of an emperor, but as a father, you also need to have the kindness and kindness of a father. I also have my own difficulties!
"Although I am an emperor, there are some things that I cannot do just by myself. Many times I have to rely on ministers like you to share my worries, or even bear some infamy for me.
"Actually, this is not my original wish. Many things are often done out of necessity. There are not many people around me who can trust me. I wonder if I can trust you?" Shao Xi couldn't help but sneered again. This Does the old boy say these words to himself as a slap in the face and a sweet date?
You've finished using yourself, and now you're here to comfort yourself so that you can continue to work for him in the future?
However, what Xiao Changyi said is not entirely unreasonable. Although he is an emperor, he cannot do everything by himself. In many cases, in order to maintain his image as an emperor, he can only do everything by others.
Everything can often only be planned in the mind, but it must never be expressed with the mouth. If there are not two trusted people around, many things will not be accomplished.
It's no wonder that since ancient times, emperors have always been lonely people. There are really too few trustworthy people around them. Even his own son can't predict the day when he will be recommended by Zhang Fu for the position under his butt.
"Your Majesty, since you and Wei Chen have spoken to this extent, Wei Chen also has a few words from the bottom of his heart that he wants to say to His Majesty. However, Wei Chen's words may not be pleasant to the ears and may offend His Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. A humble minister's inappropriate words are a crime of offense." Seeing what Shao Xi said, Xiao Changyi became interested, so he smiled and replied: "There are no other people here. If you have anything to say today, you may as well say it directly, whether it sounds good or not. I forgive you." Shao Xi curled his lips.
"My lord, you are so unkind! Are you trying to play with me?"
