[One hundred and eighth] Admonish the prince to know his heart

It was him who stole the talisman of Chang Mengjun from Yue Mansion and handed over to Deng Guozhong. He falsely passed the order of the old general of Yue, and ordered 50,000 troops to gather outside the capital and join forces with the five marquises. The Deng family slandered Chang Mengjun and rebelled, which led to the unjust case of 50,000 heroic souls tragically killing the suburbs of Beijing.

Mu Jing not only betrayed Master Lu, but also wanted to kill Ningnan.

At the end of the third year of Yangjia, he pursued the failed rebellion of the Marquis of Guangping and the Marquis of Zhongshan to Yanmen Pass.

The rebel hiding and hiding among the people of Yanmen Pass. No matter how many arrangements he made, he would not show up for a long time.

In order to receive the merits in front of Ning Zheng, Mu Jing made a false military order and ordered people to slaughter Yanmen Pass blood, trying to force the Marquis of Guangping and Marquis of Zhongshan to death.

At that time, the people of the Lu clan were forced to have nowhere to hide by Deng Guozhong. Ning Nanyou received the news and searched all the way with the Jingshuwei, temporarily letting go of the rebels who were wandering in Yanmen Pass.

Unexpectedly, when he tried his best to rescue Lu Xun from the front line of life and death, when he returned to Yanmen Pass, he saw the city's corpses and blood flowing into a river.

Those innocent people died under the command of the military generals, from the seventy-year-old old men to the one-year-old babies, all died under the sword and became lonely ghosts.

In the chaos of Yanmen Pass, the body of the Marquis of Guangping and Zhongshan Hou was hung on the wall of the city gate. The depressed scene was gone, leaving no one, shocking his body.

At that time, he had not noticed Mu Jing's second heart and thought that he had been so tragic that he had done such a miserable act.

But later, after he led the army back to the capital, Mu Jing asked for an order to leave the Huai Palace and became Ning Zheng's secret agent. He repeatedly chased and killed the descendants of the Lu family and Yue family, and even killed him.

He always remembered that on the battlefield of the border, Mu Jing found him in a pile of corpses, hesitating and anxious, and at a loss. He really thought Mu Jing was here to save him from water and fire, and he never believed in his heart that Mu Jing would rebel from Chang Mengjun and surrender to his father.

However, the world did not fulfill its wish. When Ning Nanyou was found by Mu Jing from the pile of dead people, his eyes were no longer happy, but instead saw the resolute hatred that arises in his eyes.

Mu Jinghuai, holding the precious knife he gave to him with his own hands, slashed at him hard.

Ning Nanyou was panicked and could not avoid it. Mu Jing's knife did not give him any chance to breathe. The blade fell and took his life everywhere.

He forced himself to escape several rounds, but was still seriously injured.

If Yue Chong hadn't gone to the border with him and kept secretly protecting him and sacrificing his life at the critical moment, he might not have lived now.

Only then did he realize that Chang Mengjun's inner demon was Mu Jing.

It’s a pity that he knew nothing and even regarded Mu Jing as the only disciple in the Lu Mansion, trusting and protecting each other in every way.

However, since the border disaster, Mu Jing suddenly evaporated like the world and never appeared again.

He always thought that Ning Zheng believed that Mu Jing had no use anymore and wiped him out, and never thought that he would have another day to meet.

So last night, when he uncovered the assassin's mask, he was so shocked and frightened.

Although Mu Jing's appearance was covered with large burns after many years, he could still recognize him at a glance. The hatred that was melted into the blood and bones made him unforgettable forever.

Such a person he hated to the core. Now, he suddenly became the one who protects him, and Ning Nanyou could never convince himself to believe it.

As night fell, he hid alone in the corner, thinking about the past like a dead person.

The room was terriblely quiet.

Outside the wing room, it was a different scene.

After the prince and Dou Yuelan cleared the clues of the case of the Western District of Guangzhou, they mustered up the courage to go to the house where Jiang Chengyi lived, hoping to ask him to come out to discuss the case of Song Zong.

The young and young crown prince, who was still young and had insufficient experience, stood outside Jiang Chengyi's house, and called out to the closed room with concern: "Teacher...students are here to ask for punishment."

Jiang Chengyi stayed behind closed doors and did not respond.

The prince was uneasy, so he said again: "Teacher...the student has been acting too reckless recently. He came to apologize to the teacher. I hope the teacher can open the door to see him."

There was still no movement in the room.

The prince was waiting outside the door, standing in the hot air, his face slightly pale.

Jiang Chengyi sat in the room with his eyes closed, listening to the prince’s resignation outside the room, but was unmoved.

After the noise was gone outside the house, Jiang Chengyi waited for another hour before getting up and opening the door.

I saw that the boy was standing sore, his legs and feet were sore, and he lowered his head in depression.

He heard a "squeak" sound from the room that had not been moved for a long time, and hurriedly looked up.

Jiang Chengyi's complexion was frosty, and he stared at him with a serious expression, but still without saying a word.

The prince hurriedly bowed and said to him: "Teacher! The teacher is finally willing to meet the students!"

Jiang Chengyi took two steps forward, walked slowly down the steps, got along with the prince, and said politely: "Your Highness is too proud of his minister."

Seeing that he was so polite and cold, the prince couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and then he bowed: "The teacher's words really scare the students. How can I say something?"

"Your Highness is now doing his own things as an emperor, and he is meticulous and has no mistakes. There is no need for me to assist you... You come to pay homage to me like this, and I am really frightened." Jiang Chengyi's tone was distant, and he took two steps back, not accepting the prince's worship.

The prince had never seen Jiang Chengyi get so angry, which was not expected.

At this moment, the young man panicked and said: "Teacher...the student knows his mistake. If the teacher is angry, please punish the student."

Jiang Chengyi looked at him and said politely: "Your Highness, what are you wrong? It is the mistake of the minister who has failed to let you learn how to show kindness to others."

The prince became even more frightened. He bent over and did not dare to move with great tribute.

"Teacher...sir! The student knew he was wrong!"

"What do you think is wrong?" Jiang Chengyi asked.

The prince stammered: "Students should not act recklessly..."

After hearing his answer, the frost on Jiang Chengyi's face became heavier.

"Your Highness is not as good as your followers into the house? I want to show you something to your Highness." He asked in a low voice.

The prince immediately agreed, "Student, please give me advice."

Jiang Chengyi turned around and led the boy into the house.

When I opened the door, I saw four neatly stacked documents on the sandalwood table.

After closing the door, the two of them entered the seat. Jiang Chengyi pointed to the documents placed on the desk and said to the prince: "Your Highness, please take a look at these documents first."

Ning Wuheng showed doubts on his face, picked up the documents, spread them on the short table, and looked carefully.

"In the fourth year of Yuanping, in the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Yan Sima Hui..." The young man unconsciously read out the contents of the document and said in surprise: "Sir... Is this a historical record of the Yan Dynasty?"

Jiang Chengyi nodded and replied, "It's the history of the Yan Dynasty."

Ning Wuheng continued to watch at his instructions.

The documents contain historical materials that Emperor Yan killed his younger brother, King Yonghuai, indiscriminately and regardless of the truth. The historian's pen portrayed the extremely cruel portrayal of Emperor Yan Sima Hui, which was unwilling to the world. Ning Wuheng reads historical records well when he was a child, and he knew this story very much, and he was extremely disgusted with Sima Hui. This man is lustful and merciless, and he is a foolish monarch for all the loyal ministers and generals of the Yan Dynasty. He also likes to fight everywhere, so that the people are displaced and the people in the world live in poverty.

"Students are familiar with this historical material... I don't know... what does the teacher mean?" Ning Wuheng also called the teacher and looked at Jiang Chengyi's attitude carefully.

Seeing that he still understood his intention, Jiang Chengyi said again: "Your Highness can read all the four volumes of documents on the table. If you still don't understand, come and ask me again."

Ning Wuheng looked ashamed and lowered his head to pick up the other three volumes of documents to read.

These three volumes tell the stories of how King Jian Cen of Yue, King Han Shuo of Liang, and King Sima Chen of Song treats close ministers and relatives.

At this point, Jiang Chengyi's intention has become very obvious.

The prince held the document tightly in his hand, and the more he read, the more he felt ashamed.

He held the documents, and although he had read them all, he was reluctant to let them go.

After a while, Ning Wuheng plucked up the courage to put down the Chinese book, looked at Jiang Chengyi with a flushed face, and hesitated: "Teacher...student, I know I'm wrong."

Jiang Chengyi asked again: "What's wrong with the prince?"

Ning Wuheng replied: "Students should not frame the Six Emperors at will according to their dislikes and preferences when there is no definite evidence."

Seeing that he finally said the point, Jiang Chengyi felt relieved and said, "Your Highness can realize this, which means... I have not been in vain for my past teaching."

Ning Wuheng lowered his eyes ashamed and said vociferously: "Since the teacher entered the Eastern Palace, he has always taught his students that he should govern the world with benevolence and virtue. He needs both the ruthlessness of the emperor and the justice of the world. He should not use his power to force the originally innocent people into a desperate situation because of his own selfish desires."

"Your Highness said this, I am very pleased." Jiang Chengyi nodded, and finally smiled on his face, "But... Your Highness, I would like to remind you today that even when facing a guilty person, you cannot impose a crime. The so-called emperor strategy is not to make you lose your fairness. Instead, let Your Highness always remember your original intention and not become the person you hate the most because of the dispute over imperial power."

"Sima Hui, the Emperor of Yan, put his brother to death because of a little suspicion. This is an unrighteous king. He was cruel and unvirtuous, and he used cruel means to torture the ministers he disliked, to death. Whether it was a loyal minister or a treacherous and powerful minister, countless people died under his hands. In the end, the Yan Dynasty also perished because of his will.

King Yue Jianchen treated people with good deeds and always upholds justice. Although he was recorded as a slander in history, the people in later generations still talked endlessly about his kindness and justice in dealing with people.

King Han Shuo of Liang ruled the country with politeness and was loved by the people. When he returned to heaven in his later years, he created false evidence because of his own hatred and confiscated Gu Quan, the powerful minister in the country, and damaged many innocent people. This matter also became a stain that he could never erase.
