Chapter 143: The Essence of Water

Some people live their whole lives for a certain moment.

For example, the three people in front of you.

In eighty-one days in a certain period of time and space, the flower of their life bloomed in full swing......

In that plane, they were not serving the old dynasty, but doing their best for their dignity.

This quality is one of the qualities that Yun Zhao values the most, he is more important than intelligence, more important than loyalty, and even more important than love.

Dignity is the prefix of all important nouns!!

We must live with dignity, be smart with dignity, be loyal with dignity, and love with dignity...... This is the cornerstone of what makes man human, why he is beyond the concept of animals.

Xu Yuanshou couldn't figure out why Bai Yunzhao abandoned those who were erudite and famous, but he was kind to these three little officials.

"I'm afraid this wine you brought costs five taels of silver a jar, right?"

After these days of communication, Yan Yingyuan's perception of Yun Zhao is no longer so bad.

Yun Zhao said: "You guessed wrong, this jar of wine comes from the south of the Sword Pavilion in Shuzhong, after being hidden for thirty years, a jar of wine is only half of the original, the wine is viscous, and it needs to be mixed with new wine to drink the best taste."

Thirty years, a jar of wine, a lifetime of people, isn't it too humiliating to have five taels of silver? ”

"That's the benefit of being an emperor?" Yan Yingyuan sighed slightly.

Yun Zhao raised his glass and touched the wine glass with the three in front of him, drank all the wine in the cup and said, "The benefits of being an emperor are so many that you can't predict. ”

Yan Yingyuan nodded and said, "No wonder there are so many thieves who harm the people in this world. ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "My Lantian has never harmed the people, on the contrary, we are saving the people from fire and water, and the people of the world have seen too hard, so let me be their emperor, which is very fair." ”

Feng Houdun, the academic and political instructor, said helplessly: "I know that your family has been a giant for many years, you are a disciple of a generation of great Confucian Xu Yuanshou, and you have to take care of your face after all, and you can't just say a shameless thing as a matter of course." ”

Yun Zhao looked at the jailer who was standing outside the door and said, "Do you like me to be your emperor?" ”

The jailer smiled and said: "The little heart is willing, not only the little heart is willing, but even the little father who died a long time ago is also willing. ”

Yun Zhao was very satisfied with the jailer's answer, and stretched out his hand to Feng Houdun and said, "What do you think?" ”

Feng Houdun glared at the middle-aged jailer and said, "How many years has it been since your father died?" ”

The jailer laughed, "Nineteen years. ”

Feng Houdun said: "At that time, the Yun clan was still a giant in the mountains and fields, and you also like it?" ”

The jailer said, "Of course I like it, but if you don't believe it, you go and ask my father." ”

Feng Houdun said: "Okay, when we finish drinking this severed head wine, we will go and ask your father." ”

Yun Zhao said in surprise: "No one plans to kill you. ”

Chen Mingyu waved his hand and said, "The three of us must die!" ”

Yun Zhao looked at Yan Yingyuan, the eldest, and said, "What's the explanation?" ”

Yan Yingyuan said: "The 100,000 people of Jiangyin almost became the souls of the artillery, the three of us can no longer live, the people of Jiangyin are resolute and resolute, and they are easy to get angry, if the three of us don't die, I am worried that the people of Jiangyin will be taken advantage of by a giant like you." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "There will be no such thing, if there is, I will also be beheaded!" ”

Yan Yingyuan laughed and said, "Do you think that if you are the emperor, you can really do whatever you want?" ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "You can really do whatever you want, if you don't live to watch me, maybe one day I will go crazy and kill 100,000 people in Jiangyin." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "If an emperor can do whatever he wants, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty will not commit suicide by drinking wine in the palace." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "What he drank was not a wine, but a broken intestine, and he was taken with aconitum wine, and others would die if they drank a glass, and he still drank the blood of the seven orifices, and he was still drinking wildly, so he was a tough guy." ”

Yan Yingyuan was silent for a moment and said, "The wine you sent?" ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "I sent someone to the capital and asked him if he wanted to taste the life of ordinary people, but he refused, saying that he was an emperor in life and an emperor in death."

It's understandable for him to think like this, I've only been the emperor for half a year, and if I suddenly don't become the emperor, I will also feel that life is worse than death. ”

"You're going to die, too?"

"No, I will definitely agree to the suggestion that I should be a civilian, I am not as persistent as him."

Chen Mingyu said: "It may be that your time as emperor is too short, and you haven't eaten the marrow yet." ”

Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said: "Most of the founding kings have indomitable determination and perseverance, so they all know that only by living can they create infinite possibilities, and if they die, it will really be over."

Therefore, many founding kings have done a lot of embarrassing things, and after success, they have to reverse black and white to death, and they are afraid of death, failure, and life are rendered into noble festivals. ”

"Will you do the same in the future?" Feng Houdun was very interested in what Yun Zhao said, and couldn't help but ask.

"I have nothing to hide, I am a model of success at one time, and I am the object of imitation by emperors in the future, after all, my existence itself is the supreme luck of the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"I mean, the identity of your robber family, your reputation as a lustful maniac, and the fact that you obviously accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and are a real Ming official, but you personally forced your emperor to death, and disrupted the Ming Dynasty with your own hands, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty suffered a catastrophe in the world......"

"The Yun clan is a thousand-year-old bandit family, and I feel that this is an honor, just like the saint family, it is a temporary choice. There is nothing to shy away from this, not only do I not shy away from it, but I also want to integrate the bloodline of the Yun family's thousand-year-old bandits into the bloodline of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, when troubled times come, only robbers can survive.

As for others, such as lust, such as killing kings, it's nothing to me, if you do it, you do it, if you don't do it, you don't do it, just know it, there's no need to explain it to anyone, after all, I'm a king.

Since he is a king, he should be commented on by the world, and I don't mind. ”

Chen Mingyu frowned and said, "You are so careless, aren't you afraid of Zhu Ming's resurrection?" “

Yun Zhao took out a belt from his sleeve and threw it to Chen Mingyu and said, "This is a letter of condolence written by Zhu Ming's last king who did not surrender to me, if you think that such a dead ash can be revived, I have nothing to say." ”

Feng Houdun, who was the most knowledgeable among the three, unfolded his clothes and looked at it, handed it to Yan Yingyuan, and said, "There is no hope." ”

After reading the edict, Yan Yingyuan threw it to Chen Mingyu and said: "The reason why we want to stop the army in Jiangyin is not for these silverfish, but I heard that the Lantian army is coming, and we want to take back all of our property, and from now on, everyone in the world will become the slaves of your Yun clan, and you can only survive by relying on your Yun clan."

The thing of a slave and a slave is never to be done.

Later, after listening to Gu Yanwu talk about the Lantian national policy, I realized that I had been fooled. ”

Yun Zhao smiled and lifted the wine jar to control the last bit of wine from it, and divided it into the wine glasses of the four people, each of which was not too full.

Yun Zhao raised his glass and said: "Come on, come on, let's go our separate ways after drinking this glass of wine, I will continue to be my emperor, you go back to Jiangyin and continue to be your people, if you want to be an official, go to the local county government, the government office to report, as long as you can pass the assessment." ”

Chen Mingyu smiled bitterly and raised the edict of his clothes and was about to tear it, but Yun Zhao took it back, stuffed it back into his sleeve and said: "This is a good thing, it can't be damaged, and it will be kept and displayed in the Great Hall in the future." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "We should ...... three people to death"

As soon as he said that, Yun Zhao raised his hand and gagged his mouth with a wine glass and said: "What a death, what a death, a good day is coming, and live well, see how I show my strength and govern my Han people into the heroes of the world!" ”

After speaking, he drank half a glass of residual wine, dropped the wine glass and arched his hand to the three of them: "Leave here!" ”

Then he stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Yan Yingyuan and the three of them watched Yun Zhao's figure disappear around the corner of the prison, the three of them glanced at each other, and they also dropped their wine glasses in unison, all of them had no intention of speaking.

The door of the prison was wide open, and they did not doubt Yun Zhao's sincerity in letting them go, but they were somewhat embarrassed, and to this day, they still did not understand how the three little servants were qualified to drink with the infamous giant of today.

Feng Houdun was the first to speak out: "Maybe this is what the emperor really looks like, I met him three times, and my opinion of him changed three times, and I don't seem to object much to him being my emperor." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "There is one of the founding emperors who is easy to deal with, but on the whole, the founding emperors will not do things too badly. ”

Yan Yingyuan glanced at the impatient jailer guarding the door and said: "Let's go, the emperor treats us politely, but these bastards don't, the old man has been a pawn for many years, and even the king of Hades is good, and the little ghost is difficult."

Since people don't kill us, we don't have a reason to seek our own death. ”

As soon as the three of them left the prison with their burdens on their backs, they saw the jailer come out in ordinary clothes, lock the door of the prison, untie a donkey from under the tree, straddle it, and walk away.

"That's all three of us in the whole cell, aren't we?"

Feng Houdun was a little unconvinced.

Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu are the classic history of Jiangyin, where they will not understand Feng Houdun's doubts, these days, they have seen this one jailer, and this guy only appears in the daytime, at night, the whole prison is quiet and scary, there are only three prisoners in the prison.

"Let's go, go home."

Yan Yingyuan took the lead in leaving with his package on his back, Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun followed closely.

After leaving the Yushan prison, after three turns and two turns, they merged into a main street.

The street was full of people and bustling, and when the three of them merged into the crowd, they quickly disappeared, like three drops of water flowing into a river or lake.
