Reign of the Phoenix - Chapter 598
Murong Zhining laughed at himself: “Mr. Yuan’s mind, I am more and more unable to understand! As the saying goes, fleas don’t itch if you have too many fleas. I’m numb now! Since Mr. Yuan doesn’t want anything, I’ll just pretend to be stupid and take advantage of it! ”
Yuan Zhi burst out laughing boldly: “the emperor is really smarter than a businessman! In fact, I just took out a part of the silver to give back to my country. Please rest assured that I have no intention. In the summer of Shang Dynasty, the great wealth of yuan family was preserved. Shouldn’t I take part of it to create a landscape for the emperor and please the holy heart? Besides, this waterfall is not only ornamental, but also has important strategic value. If nanjincheng is besieged by foreign enemies, once the situation is out of control, as long as all the sluices on the top of the mountain are opened and the floodgates in the river channel are closed, it only takes half a day to submerge nanjincheng under the waves of ten thousand inclinations! ”
Murong Zhining shivered: “Mr. Yuan, why don’t you report to me for such an important project? Under no circumstances will I allow the lives of the people in the city to be sacrificed! ”
Yuan Zhi said coldly, “I’m not a butcher, and I don’t want to see that scene happen! The sluice is only used for defense. Whoever dares to invade SHANGXIA, I will burn both jade and stone with him
Murong Zhining shook his head: “no, without my command, you have no right to exercise any instructions on my behalf!”
Yuan Zhiwen said: “as I said, this waterfall is only used as a means of defense. Besides, the absolute control of the sluice is in your hands! ”
Yuan Zhi took Murong Zhining to the tea table and made a pot of tea by himself: “emperor, sit down and enjoy it. I’m afraid you’re tired of standing for a long time! By the way, there have been frequent news at the border of Huayan recently. You must attach great importance to it! ”
Murong Zhining staring at the distance coldly: “I don’t want to hear any news of Hua Yan!”
Yuan Zhi put his hand on the back of Murong Zhining’s hand: “emperor, you must face up to the pain you have experienced. You are now the king of SHANGXIA. You can’t blindly escape from reality!”
Murong Zhining stares at the vines on the railing: “I am not escaping, I just choose to forget! Escape is a coward’s behavior, forgetting is a brave performance! No matter how much other people lose confidence in me, I will not give up self-help! ”
Yuan Zhiwen said, “I I didn’t lose faith in you. I just gave you more space to examine our relationship more clearly. We can’t afford to lose. In three years and five years, let time choose a way out for us. ”
Murong Zhining looked sideways at Yuanzhi: “the definition of three or five years is just to draw a prison for myself. After three or five years, waiting has already been replaced by impetuousness, and the rest is just a commitment to change quality! Mr. Yuan, I don’t want to embarrass you any more. You are not too young. You are too old to marry. How about I give you the door to get married? ”
Yuan Zhi’s eyes became cold and hard: “Oh? I am very curious. Why did the emperor suddenly think of giving me a marriage? Impetuous, I’m afraid it’s not me, but the emperor, are you? Is the emperor so anxious to get rid of his conscience? ”
Murong Zhining sighed: “Mr. Yuan, I don’t want to see you because of fighting with me. I miss your life-long event. I will feel guilty to Mr. Yuan! My uncle, General Li, has a daughter. She is eighteen years old. She is very beautiful. She can write poems and songs easily. I would like to think that no one in SHANGXIA is worthy of her except for Mr. Yuan! ”
“I’m fed up with your conceit! Why do you dominate my life? How can I be worthy of such an excellent daughter in your uncle’s family? ”
Murong Zhining humbly hung his head: “I don’t want to dominate your life, and I don’t have this right! I just want to find a way so that you and I can get along easily! When the elder gentleman left, I promised that he would take care of you. Since I am not fit to take care of you, what’s wrong with me to find a safe person to take care of you on my behalf? ”
Yuan Zhi paced back and forth anxiously: “so you just want to make our relationship easier! What you said on my father’s deathbed, I know it’s just to comfort him. I’ve never taken it seriously. Please don’t take it too seriously! If you feel pressure to get along with me, then I will disappear in front of you? Or I become a monk? Even to be a eunuch! Is it easy for you? Well? ”
Murong Zhining compromise way: “I don’t want to quarrel with you! When I call Miss Li into the palace, you secretly take a look at her. If you think it’s in your favor, I’ll marry her again, OK? I didn’t force you
Yuan Zhi looked at the waterfall in the distance and said, “I don’t want to get a wife. I just want to live alone for a lifetime. Isn’t it against the law of the king? Don’t worry about the emperor. We’d better match the monarch and the Minister for the time being. When the government affairs of the Shang and Xia dynasties are on the right track, the emperor no longer needs my assistance. I’ll return to my old profession, travel around and do some business by the way. ”
Murong Zhining’s eyes flashed with tears: “good! It’s up to you
In front of the gate of Qiongyuan palace, Murong Zhining gets out of the sedan chariot. With the help of Fei Fei, she enters the gate of Qiongyuan palace.
The eunuch on duty wanted to inform Han Yi that he was stopped by Murong Zhining. Murong Zhining seldom set foot in Qiongyuan palace. Today, she made a sudden visit to see what Han Yi usually does.Murong Zhining walked through the corridor and went into the backyard. She heard Han Yi’s laughter in the distance. She stopped and looked at the garden in the backyard. She saw that Han Yi’s eyes were covered with a piece of white cloth and were playing with a group of little maids.
A little maiden found Murong Zhining in advance. She knelt on the ground and pulled Han Yi’s clothes: “Little Prince Emperor Here comes the Emperor… ”
Han Yi was so scared that he pulled the cloth from his eyes. He stepped forward and knelt in front of Murong Zhining, stammering: “see elder sister Huang Why don’t you let someone tell me when sister Huang comes? ” His body shuddered as if he had been frightened.
Han Yi’s chair, let him sit in the pavilion.
Murong Zhining gently wiped the sweat on Han Yi’s forehead with a handkerchief: “when you see elder sister Huang, you don’t have to kneel down. We are brothers and sisters! Why are you so afraid when you meet sister Huang? ”
Han Yi “wow” to a loud cry: “I am very afraid of the emperor sister! They said, “elder sister Huang is a person who is jealous of evils. If anyone offends you, you will destroy your family.”! You killed Uncle Sihuang… ” He turned and pointed to the little maiden kneeling on the ground.
Murong Zhining gently comforted: “the emperor elder sister killed the villain, you are not the villain. You are my sister’s brother, and you are my sister’s closest person! ”
Han Yi sobbed: “but I’m not a success! All I know is that I play and play with little maids all day long, and I don’t want to read the book of sages. If you see me, you will scold me for playing games, losing my ambition, being extravagant and extravagant I was bumped into by elder sister Huang today. She must punish me severely? ”
Murong Zhining took Han Yi’s hand: “you are still under ten years old. You are still a naughty boy. It is your age to have fun and make fun of. Lord yuan is too strict with you! I’m sorry, sister Huang is busy with government affairs all day, so I have too little time to accompany you… ”
Han Yi looked at Murong Zhining. His eyes were full of self-confidence: “but Although Lord yuan was very strict with me, I was not afraid of him at all. I’m very afraid of you Elder sister Huang, do you want me to go to the border for training? They said, “if I go to the border, I will die there and never come back again!” He pointed to the little maid behind him.
Murong Zhining touched Han Yi’s head kindly: “elder sister Huang wants you to go to the border to experience, is to let you grow into a man of indomitable spirit! Those little maids grew up in the deep palace and never saw the outside world. Their words can only be used for your reference. You must have your own judgment and learn to distinguish what is credible and what is not in others’ words. Do you know? ”
Han Yi looked at Murong Zhining timidly: “will you really not punish me? And they? Elder sister Huang, I’m not afraid to go to the border to bear hardships. I also want to be a brave man like my father
Murong Zhining looking at kneeling on the ground shivering a group of small maidens, and good way: “you all get up! You have not made a mistake. Why should sister Huang punish you? As for the little maids, they did not do anything wrong because of their lack of knowledge and credibility. You have learned so much from yuan, and soon you will have your own view of right and wrong. At that time, you should teach those little maids more and let them also establish a correct view of right and wrong! ” She pulled Han Yi in front of her and straightened his skirt.
Han Yi showed a naive smile, he nodded confidently: “thank you, sister Huang, I know!”
At this time, Yuan Zhi walked into the backyard: “emperor, how did you come? I also said why it is so quiet in Qiongyuan Palace today
Han Yi ran forward and grabbed Yuan Zhi’s sleeve: “Mr. Yuan, didn’t you say you won’t come today?”
Yuan Zhi’s face was full of dignity: “Sir, I’m afraid you’ll slack off. Take time to have a look. Have you finished your assignment? ”
Han Yi looked up at Yuan Zhi with a smile: “not yet! Don’t you check it tomorrow? I’ll write it later. ”
Yuan Zhi snapped, “as long as you leave, you only know how to play. In the future, you have to finish the tasks assigned by your husband before you can play! ”
Han Yi pulled Yuan Zhi’s sleeve and dragged him into the pavilion: “I was just discussing with elder sister Huang whether we should play or not! Just when you came, you argued with sister Huang to see who was more reasonable? ”
Yuan Zhi glanced at Murong Zhining with discontented eyes: “emperor, I have managed to make the little prince’s behavior somewhat restrained. I hope that during the period when I teach him, you don’t contradict me. Otherwise, I can’t teach him well! ”
Murong Zhining chuckled: “I didn’t instill in him the thought of not studying well. I just told him that at his age, it’s normal to be playful, and there’s no need to have a sense of shame. Do you know what I scared him into when I came here? He looked as if he had committed a capital crime. Mr. Yuan, it’s important for him to form good habits. Isn’t it as important for him to establish a correct view of right and wrong? Besides, there is no conflict between our views! ”
Yuan zhileng said with a face: “I think that as the prince of SHANGXIA, you should be more self disciplined than the children of ordinary people! Emperor, if you connive at him like this, he will become a cowardly and irresponsible man
