Jianjia Chronicle

The night wind hits people, and the dark fragrance floats.Xiangcheng sits quietly in the middle hall, the door is open, a cup of green tea is on the table, and the lingering smoke curls up.

Bo Ran ran all the way back, and was still panting when he walked through the door.As soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw Xiangcheng kneeling on the front seat, with candle shadows flickering beside her, reflecting her slender figure on the screen, with long hair shawl and brocade robe, very elegant, and there were also women. The demeanor of celebrities.

Seeing her come in, Xiangcheng straightened up, supported Amon's hand and stood up.Bo Ran is proud that her daughter-in-law is the best in the world, the most beautiful in the world, the most talented in the world, and the most elegant in the world. Seeing her get up, she quickly leans forward: "Your Highness."

Her cry... was slightly lingering, and Amon stepped back.

Xiangcheng frowned, and raised his tone: "Are you here?"

"Yeah!" Bo Ran loosened his muscles and bones, "I miss me to death."

Xiangcheng twisted his lips, his eyes were cold: "What are you thinking about?"

"Of course it is..." Bo Ran started to owe again, his eyes wandering around Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng turned around and left.

She didn't come for a long time, Xiangcheng was worried for a long time.In fact, I have never seen Bo Ran showing her weakness so much. Even at that time, when she told her secret, her words were only a little difficult, but there was no bitterness of depression. She was obviously smiling. Darkness is like crying.Xiangcheng hated herself and was soft-hearted, but she was still a little annoyed. If she said something casually, it would be better than just being silent, making her seem so indifferent, but she didn't know what was going on in her heart.

At night, when she returned late, she felt more and more regretful, even if it was not good, they had known each other for so many years, and she was devoted to Da Lang again, so shouldn't she say a word of comfort?

Then, Bo Ran came bouncing around.Behavior is not good at all, words are not sincere, and you will never repent!

As soon as Xiangcheng took a step, Bo Ran naturally chased after her, and said, "What are you going to do tomorrow? Princess Yangxian must be at home tomorrow. If you want to invite her again, I will go for you." Next post? Not only her, but also other young ladies, if you like, we can all gather together." She still remembered that Xiangcheng was upset that the princess was not invited during the day.

Xiangcheng ignored people.Bo Ran persevered: "Are you okay? Our house has a beautiful view, and many people want to enter but can't. If you invite everyone to play, everyone must be willing."

Xiangcheng still didn't speak.

Bo Ran still persevered: "No, no, the guest is willing to come, not in the house but at the master's house. There are many people who live in a humble room and have friends and guests. Now the master's family, Dexin, everyone wants to come. Waiting for you to have a banquet, It's all hopeless."

If she doesn't make a sound, she will keep talking.Xiangcheng finally stopped and continued walking: "My lady, what do you look like when you post a post?"

Bo Ran's mind was shocked, this focus is intriguing.She looked at Xiangcheng's expression, Xiangcheng's expression was indifferent, as if what she said just now was from her.

However, Bo Ran was full of excitement, and tried his best to maintain an attitude of yearning: "Is that so? Well, I have heard that the princess is beautiful, so it would be nice to meet in handwriting."

The two walked side by side on a gravel path leading to their bedroom.On the side of the road, shrubs stand tall and shadowy.Xiangcheng stopped, turned to look at Bo Ran, his clear eyes were like lake water under the moon in winter night, clear and chilly: "Why bother? Seeing the handwriting but not the person, Mr. Bai Isn't it a pity? You come tomorrow, how about I be a man for you?"

Obviously, Xiangcheng was angry.Bo Ran was very happy, with a smile in his eyes, but his expression was very serious: "Of course." Xiangcheng's breath stopped for a moment, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I haven't seen her family Shiqilang for a long time, so let's get together, not only the princess, but also other families." Bo Ran continued slowly.

Xiangcheng turned his anger into suspicion, and looked at her suspiciously.

Bo Ran said unhurriedly: "Who said that I will post the post to the princess? Shi Qilang and I are also good friends."

Pit her again.Play tricks on her over and over again.Worrying about her before was simply a joke. For a person like her, why should others worry about her? Maybe it was her pretending to deceive her again.When Xiangcheng came to his senses, she sneered, "Prime Minister Bai is a good deal." She was angry that Bo Ran was not honest and her heart was not pure, and she was angry at herself for being aroused by her words.

"Yes." Bo Ran was a little guilty, lowered her head, and said cautiously, "If you don't pay attention to you, how can you be good. I would like to wait, but I'm afraid there will be no end."

"So? Can't I just stay here now? Due to your prestige, I can't even go back home to live. Do you want an end? What kind of end do you want? I commit myself to you, what will happen next? What do you want? "Anger, resentment, are drawn out like this little by little. She is a golden branch and a jade leaf, and she has been noble since she was a child. How can she be without resentment when she is forced to be powerless by a few words?That is, it is not as angry as before, but Bo Ran is like this, tempting from time to time, playing tricks, reminding her repeatedly that she is not as good as a human being, how can she be happy if she is to be played and applauded?

Bo Ran's eyes were reddened, she didn't expect it to be like this, she should defend herself at this time, but she felt very unbearable, Xiangcheng's sentence "I commit myself to you, what will happen next? What do you want?" It's very painful. Could it be that in her heart she is such a greedy and dissatisfied villain? She forced her to live here, but she didn't force her to do more. It was her fault for not being honest, but , but... Bo Ran's lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to speak, but she only realized that she was ignorant. It was indeed her fault, from the very beginning, she was wrong.

"Are you so reluctant?" She still asked in a trembling voice, she already knew in her heart that it would be better not to ask, but like a drowning person who knows that struggling will only speed up his death, he still has to struggle.Sure enough, Xiangcheng asked back: "If it were you, would you rather?"

Like the straw that broke the camel's back.Bo Ran bowed his head as if his neck had been severed: "I'll take you back."

Yes, she left when she got to the door, without saying where she was going.

Xiangcheng walked into the inner room alone, Bo Ran's last look remained in his mind, it was not dejected or wronged, but indescribably desolate.Xiangcheng closed her eyes, but she couldn't shake it off. She seemed to have achieved the goal she always wanted to leave, but she was not at all happy.

Bo Ran was very sad.She left in a state of distress that night, and she slept in the study alone.I can't sleep alone, and I keep introspecting. Indeed, she imposed it on others.Ling Jiang was so resentful, but fortunately she was complacent and thought that it was about to be done.The more I think about it, the sadder I become, and the more I think about it, the more helpless I become.She tossed on the couch all night, and when she went to bed the next day, her eye circles were as dark as American treasures.

Sima Lun couldn't bear it very much, and said to her after the court was over: "Even though government affairs are important, don't delay, brother-in-law should also take care of your health, don't be dragged down."

Bo Ran smiled: "Thank you Dalang for your concern."

The little emperor also laughed, there was still some time before his class, and he took out the questions he had accumulated from the Taifu, and asked Bo Ran the question that he still didn't understand even though the Taifu had said it.Mr. Gu's knowledge is good, but he has never been an official after all, most of his things are theoretical, and the students sound a bit empty.

This emperor is very thoughtful. If he can guide him well, he might be able to produce a generation of wise emperors who are as ancient as they are today.This is a good thing, Bo Ran explained it with all his heart.If she would retire in the position of prime minister, she would try every means to lead the emperor to mediocrity, but no, she wanted to go, retreat, she already had a clue, but Xiangcheng... Even so, there is still a bit more powerful , the emperor who is not easy to fool.Looking farther is beneficial to the people.To put it mildly, the emperor has his own opinions, which is good for the young Bai Ju who needs further improvement.

She really did her best for her family.

Sima Lun liked Bo Ran's explanation very much, it was more in line with his thinking, and he could accept it very much, and took it very seriously.This time we are talking about "benevolence" and "rule of law".

"The law must be followed. There is a saying that without rules, there is no square. It can be seen that this law is indispensable. Otherwise, if he steals today and commits murder tomorrow, wouldn't the world be in chaos? The law is unacceptable." But it can’t be too strict. Strictness is not the rule of law, but autocracy.” Bo Ran cited some previous examples of emperors who abdicated or subjugated due to autocracy, and told him which policies of these emperors were too strict. If the harshness is too harsh, what makes the people unbearable, they rise up.

"What about benevolence?"

"Benevolence means that if you are inappropriate in government, you must be strict and benevolent. The law is nothing more than human feelings. The rule of law is not omnipotent. If you want to be humane, you need benevolence. However, your majesty must remember that the rule of law is based on benevolence. It’s just to make up for the shortcomings. Love the people, not just one of them. If there is a special case, don’t make it. If there is a person who breaks the law, but his feelings are merciful, what should your majesty do?”

"His feelings are pitiful, so benevolence is required."

"No. It's sympathetic, but it's a fact that it breaks the law. Don't benevolent to it, but practice the law. Otherwise, it will become a precedent. It will make future generations think that the dignity of the law will be violated if there is an opportunity. destroy."

"Then his feelings are pitiful. If there is no difference, how can we talk about benevolence?"

"Then we have to talk about the regulations. The laws cannot be violated. The regulations are detailed explanations based on the laws. For example, a small official enforces the law harshly, which arouses public anger, and a commoner beats the official to death by mistake. How to judge?" ?”

"Murder pays for his life, but if that petty official made the mistake first, then the crime will be reduced."

"No, His Majesty made the mistake of making a special case. The little people must be punished. It aroused public anger. It can be seen that he was not the only one at that time. How could he be so brave? If there are similar incidents in the future, will you be a little dissatisfied? Can you justifiably use the people to kill officials? Next, although a small official is wrong, he is still an official. He relies on the country. ?”

Sima Lun was thoughtful.

Bo Ran said again: "It depends on the specific situation. What is the state of public outrage? What kind of draconian law is it that small officials enforce the law harshly? Then under what circumstances did the small people resist? Did they just jump up after being whipped? Or did you rise up after being beaten half to death? The situation is different, and everyone can use their own discretion." At this point, Bo Ran asked a question, "So, in your Majesty's opinion, how will the dead official be sentenced?"

Sima Lun's eyes sparkled, he thought about it carefully, and replied: "It's still a matter of discretion. If he is really wrong, we can't tolerate it. What he destroys is the reputation of the court. If he dies, he will be convicted. If the people are ignorant and change He should be rehabilitated and rewarded with his wife and children." He also drew inferences: "There are also people who participated, and they should be dealt with according to the circumstances. Regardless of the culprit or accomplice, follow the law." He has already understood that in this case, the last The important thing is not the small official at all, but the public anger, and it is the public anger that needs to be properly dealt with.How to judge the case is a matter for the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and public outrage is what he should care about—that's what Bo Ran told him, each perform their duties, and everyone has their own duties.

Bo Ran smiled: "Exactly."

"Is it really not easy for the country to maintain long-term stability?" Sima Lun sighed.

Bo Ran said: "What is easy? Let alone a country. The reason why the emperor is the emperor, patrolling hunting on behalf of the sky, and taking the world as his own responsibility is because the people are guarding him. Therefore, the community is the most important, the people are second, and the king is the king." Light. Being a king is to do this difficult thing, to make the people live well. The long-term stability depends on His Majesty."

Sima Lun deeply believed that he was already very knowledgeable, like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge.

"Fortunately, I have you."

Bo Ran said he didn't dare.

After chatting for a while, Sima Lun began to turn into a younger brother: "Brother-in-law, where is my sister? I haven't seen you for a long time."

There was a dull pain in Bo Ran's heart, and he made a gesture to knock him: "Go to school quickly, don't let the teacher wait for you."

Sima Lun walked away with his head in his arms.

The author has something to say: Mr. Kiwi, who said yesterday that he was careful of being punished by his wife, and the kid from Xin, who said "If you don't go back, you will lose your wife", gave you a quick thumbs up.

Thank you again, little cute creatures——
