C102 Discussion on Life and Death
He knelt on the ground and expressed his gratitude. He himself did not understand why he was able to obtain the rank of a Rank Three Adviser in such a short period of time.
A Rank Two would at most become a Rank Four Official. This was under the circumstances of having an extremely rich family background and having a minister to assist him in the court.
He, this rootless duckweed, had directly reached rank three and was even a very important Adviser. This was a little... very magical.
On the surface, this official position could be considered an idle position. It did not belong to the big shots of the various parties and did not belong to the Cabinet. Naturally, it also did not belong to the other nine departments.
But this position was extremely important!
This was because not only could this position lead directly to the Heavenly Court, but it could also give His Majesty suggestions and strategies when necessary. It could be considered a job like a secretary or advisor.
Such a reward naturally shocked everyone present.
Many people did not understand. There were even a few old officials who raised objections on the spot.
Then, His Majesty lightly said.
"The reason why this rebellion was so easy to pacify was because the rebel army had already broken through the city walls. You have left a scar on Zhen's face, but you did not think of the joints? That's right, it was precisely Situ Aiqing who risked her life and killed the rebel leader. She brought the head back to Zhen!"
Thus, the entire scene was shocked!
Everyone looked at Situ Ping'an's face and felt that it was unbelievable.
In fact, Situ Ping'an also had the same feeling.
Because it was Xiao Yun who did this. He was just helping from the side. It could even be said that it was the same with him and not him.
Why did such a great contribution land on his head for no reason?
Furthermore... Ever since that day, Xiao Yun had never left the Imperial Palace.
He found someone to wait at the entrance of the palace. Indeed, he had never come out.
For so many days, he was deeply trapped in the palace gates and was also an adult man. He had offended Imperial Tutor Zhao and offended the Emperor's figure.
A possibility instantly appeared in Situ Ping'an's mind.
Could it be that Xiao Yun had already been secretly dealt with by the king?
When he thought of this, his face sank.
It did not matter anymore.
It was just that he had added a little bit to his past grudges!
He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. His fingernails dug into his flesh and dripped with blood, but he didn't care at all.
It was obvious that this was not the only 'love' His Majesty had for him.
He even asked him about his marriage. He actually wanted to marry the princess and make her his son-in-law, the Prince Consort that the people talked about.
It was Prime Minister Lee who hurriedly jumped out and tried to persuade His Majesty to give up on this idea.
It was not that the only person who wanted to marry Princess Xiyue right now was very ugly, or that her temper was very bad.
On the contrary, Princess Xiyue was a famous beauty in Qin Country. It could be said that she was a treasure of the imperial family. There were often people from other countries who came to propose marriage. Furthermore, she had a gentle personality and was well-educated. She was fifteen years old this year and was almost sixteen years old. It was the best age.
All of this was good.
However, the young masters of Qin Country did not want to marry her.
Because once she became the Prince Consort, there wouldn't be much progress in her career.
At most, she would be given an idle position. No matter how high or low she was, no one would listen to her.
Although this rule didn't exist on the surface of the law in Qin Country, it was a tacitly agreed rule.
Because if this policy was relaxed, then the consort would make use of his relationship with the princess as a husband and wife, and it would be a great help to His Majesty's family!
To others, it was quite unfair!
This is how the world, or rather, rule, is like.
The true wisdom was to satisfy the interests of most people, and inevitably sacrifice a small portion of their interests.
If it wasn't wise, then it would be the opposite. It might seem to be quite right. For example, those who could become the emperor's son-in-law, those who could be chosen by the princess... They were either extremely good-looking people, or extremely talented people. This kind of talent was also extremely developed in various industries. It would be a waste if he did not enter the official career.
However, if they were given the right to be promoted, they would instantly climb to a high position. The process of climbing up was definitely stepping on the process of others!
Layer by layer.
It was like cutting the queue.
One. It didn't just affect the person behind him, it affected everyone behind him!
Including the people themselves!
Sometimes, things that seemed unreasonable were publicly acknowledged as unreasonable by the people. However, things that attracted curses happened to be the most beneficial to the people!
For example, the matter of forcefully boiling water saved the ordinary people, but they were also the ones who were cursing.
As a king, if one wanted to be wise and heroic, it was very normal for one to be scolded. One had to bear with it well.
There was even a saying that in all the dynasties and dynasties, the best medical environment was the best, but they were unable to live a long life. It might not be that they were drunk on money and had emptied their bodies, but it was more likely that they were being scolded!
Overall, the matter of the rebellion had finally disappeared.
The reward for meritorious service had also ended.
However, there was no way His Majesty could feel at ease.
Imperial Tutor Zhao immediately stood up and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, the matter of Xiao Yun should be settled now, right?"
The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched. He really wanted to ask loudly, Are you teaching me how to do things?
But he did not do so. Instead, he rubbed his forehead again. He said, "Xiao Yun is a child after all. It is normal for him to do something out of character. Just punish him a little. There's no need to fight or kill him. How high is Zhao Aiqing's status now? How many people respect you? Does he have to go against a child? "
His Majesty's words could be considered as lowering his stance. In the end, Zhao Wuji still loudly said, "Your Majesty, this is not a matter of young people. He is so young. If he is already so bad, when he grows up and has full wings... I'm afraid he will not even put Your Majesty in his eyes!"
The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched.
With Zhao Wuji's performance, it was unknown who did not put His Majesty in his eyes.
Furthermore, he was also a little depressed.
Because he always felt that Xiao Yun did not take him seriously.
This was a very bad feeling.
But at this moment, he could only rub his brows and ask, "Then in your opinion, what should Zhen do with Xiao Yun?"
Zhao Wuji said sternly, "According to the law, he should be executed!"
This sentence shocked many people.
Today, it was rare for the pillar of the empire, Leng Xiaohan, to go to court as well. At this moment, he took a step forward. He sighed and said softly, "Imperial Tutor Zhao, how come you still have such a hot temper after so many years? Young Master Xiao was a bit reckless, but he was a brilliant child. Which one of you is not frivolous? He was only young, and if he wasn't arrogant or talented, then he could only wait for him to experience more. Only then can he change his temper. However, this reminds me of when you were young. Back then, you dared to contradict the Deceased Emperor. Heh, the past is truly nostalgic."
His words were as light as a feather, and it made people understand that he was biased towards Xiao Yun.
Just his evaluation of ___ was enough to show how much importance he attached to ___.
Imperial Tutor Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked at Leng Guzhu with doubt.
This Great Country Pillar had always been a person who did not care about anything. Why did he manage Xiao Yun's matters today?
Speaking of which, when did the two of them get to know each other?
Although the Xiao family and the Leng family had some connections, their relationship couldn't be said to be "good." Ah!
After thinking for a while, Imperial Tutor Zhao turned his eyes to Xiao Wansheng.
This devil Xiao, his only grandson was said to be like this today. He still wanted to kill him, but he didn't show any reaction at all. He just lowered his head and smiled, as if he wasn't talking about his descendants at all.
Speaking of which, it was really strange.
Imperial Tutor Zhao coldly snorted and said, "According to the pillar of the empire, should we just forget about what happened before?"
As he spoke, he even raised his arm.
He indicated that the other party had hit him.
Leng Xiaohan said, "About this matter, just punish him a little. Close the door for a few days and let him temper himself. That's enough."
"What? Just lock him up for a period of time? Hehe, isn't that too light?"
" What do you think, Grand Preceptor? "
"Thrust, exile! This is the lightest!"
Imperial Tutor Zhao could be considered to have made a concession.
Thus, all the officials agreed at the same time. They felt that this was a good idea. After all, everyone took a step back.
After that, Imperial Tutor Zhao turned to His Majesty. Obviously, he was waiting for his response.
