you are unspeakable

Emperor Mingde walked up to Song Cui, his bright yellow boots were only a step away from his head, he looked down at the young man's long black hair, Emperor Mingde pursed his lips and smiled, and walked past Song Cui: "Get up, Stand up and answer."

Song urged to get Emperor Mingde's permission, stood up from the ground, turned to face Emperor Mingde, just now when Emperor Mingde entered the palace, he did not dare to raise his eyes to look directly at the emperor, lowered his eyes and nodded, listening to Emperor Mingde's gentle On the contrary, he had the courage to look up at Emperor Mingde.

Wearing a light yellow dragon robe, the Son of Heaven has handsome features, a slender figure, and a calm demeanor, making others feel indifferent and alienated when he is silent.

Emperor Ming De lifted his robe and sat down, he didn't blame Song Cui for his boldness, and asked him with a smile: "Seeing me, is it the same as what you guessed in your heart?"

This question makes people uneasy, and the polite answer must be to praise Emperor Mingde's appearance, this time is the safest.

Song Cui thought for a while, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the same is different."

Emperor Mingde just asked casually, but he didn't expect Song Cui to answer like this, so he simply asked: "Where are the same, and where are the differences?"

"Cao Min grew up in the mountains and fields. He heard from the people that today's Holy Majesty values ​​martial arts and despises culture. Cao Min thought that the Holy Majesty must be a arrogant, rebellious, and decisive emperor who kills and kills. Seeing him now, he feels that the Holy Majesty is gentle and gentle. It is easy to approach, so that the grassroots will not be afraid."

Song Cui's voice was deep and deep, and it sounded like a mountain wind passing through the dense bamboo forest. People couldn't help but close their eyes and enjoy it. His attitude was respectful and calm, and there was no fear in his tone. What he said was like Emperor Mingde He and he are two good friends.

This made Emperor Mingde want to scare him, so he pretended to be offended by his words, and shouted in a deep voice: "You are so bold! Rebellious, you can't say that to me, then It's the concubine in the palace, and the imperial uncle of Chaozhong Zhen would not dare to have the courage of you to comment on me like this, you said you are not afraid of me," Emperor Ming De stared at Song Cui's face with a pair of brown eyes, as if to He also captured the subtle movements on his face: "If I ordered you to be pulled out and punished a hundred times, wouldn't you be afraid?"

Song Cui didn't seem to be afraid. He didn't look sideways, and raised his head and said, "Caomin enters the palace today, but there are only two endings, one life and one death. Now that you know it, why should you be afraid? Your Majesty summoned Caomin, and Caomin guessed carefully. The essays written in the martial arts examinations came into His Majesty’s eyes, so he was summoned today, and His Majesty has every opportunity to summon Caomin because he feels that Caomin has something special.”

"I'm afraid I can't kill you with a hundred sticks." Emperor Mingde rapped his finger on the table lightly: "I'll just punish you for being disrespectful, and drag you to the Meridian Gate to behead you as an example to others."

Song Cui laughed after hearing this: "So, it's better than a hundred sticks."

Emperor Mingde raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let's hear it."

"If you go down with a hundred sticks, the grass people's legs will be destroyed. If you die just like that, it's fine. If the adults who hold the stick don't beat the grass people to death, what's the point of living with their broken legs? It's better to beheaded at the Meridian Gate Go down and the head will fall to the ground, and they will die without feeling the pain, saving those tortures."

Emperor Mingde couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, shook his head, and said: "As expected of the person who wrote such an arrogant and decisive article, to tell you the truth, I really have a crush on you, and I think you are interesting after reading your article. It is even more interesting to see you now, but I want to ask you." Emperor Ming De suddenly looked serious: "This time I have thought about the answer."

Song Cui cupped his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty just ask."

"You said in your article that although Dachang won the battle against Changting and Shuhai a year ago, it will not take the initiative to declare war on Changting in the north and Shuhai in the south for nearly three years, but Dachang will not fight easily again in the next three years. Why?"

"Although Dachang defeated the coalition forces of the two countries back then, it also suffered heavy losses. Over the past year, His Majesty has recruited troops everywhere, expanded his army, and the border is always in a state of preparation for war. The grassroots boldly speculate that His Majesty will have another battle with Changting Shuhai sooner or later, but the grassroots think that If you want to fight, you can't give your opponent time to breathe, you have to go all out, and it's best to wipe out Changting and Shuhai in one fell swoop when you declare war again, and Caomin feels that such an opportunity will definitely appear within ten years."

Emperor Mingde sneered: "Elimination in one fell swoop is easier said than done? You have never been on the battlefield, and what you say is empty talk on paper. You know that there have been many frictions between Changting, Shuhai and Dachang. In the past three years, large and small There were no less than a hundred battles, although Dachang was able to defeat their coalition invasion, but he could injure a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, I don't even have the confidence to wipe them out, how can you, a mere martial artist, speak so arrogantly."

"Your Majesty, what the grassroots said is not wild talk, let alone just talking on paper." Song Cui's eyes were burning, and Emperor Mingde saw Bobo Yexin in his eyes. Emperor Mingde stood up from his seat and walked slowly in front of Song Cui. Only then did he realize that the straight-backed boy in front of him was half a head taller than him.

"What do you want to say?" Emperor Mingde looked at him quietly.

"Cao Min's mother was originally the daughter of General Tuoba of the Changting Dynasty. 33 years ago, General Tuoba's family was framed by Changting's elder Shanyu as collaborator and sentenced to be executed. General Tuoba's old friend tried his best to save my mother, but he was on the way to escape. We got separated, and later, my mother was exiled in Dachang, and was sold into the Taiwei's mansion." Song Cui told his life experience, but there was no trace of sadness in his expression, and he was very indifferent: "Two years ago, the new Chanyu of Changting came to the throne, and for Tuo General Ba’s family overturned the case, and a year ago, someone from the Chang Court came looking for me and wanted me to be used by the Chang Court.”

Emperor Mingde's expression froze: "Are you telling me that you are a spy?"

Song Cui suddenly knelt on the ground and looked up at Emperor Mingde.

"Caomin has revealed everything today, so he is not afraid of His Majesty's investigation. Caomin just wants to say that this matter can be planned. Caomin does not want to be used by the court, but is willing to be used by His Majesty until he dies."
