(1/2)
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, as if the breath you exhaled is about to burn in front of the nasal cavity.
Pei Nianshen's last few words just now became even heavier in the hot atmosphere. I felt sweat all over my body pouring out at this moment, soaking my clothes in an instant.
No one spoke in the library.
However, I could hear everyone's panting and everyone's breathing became heavier, especially after his last question, but no one could say anything.
In the end, how many responsibilities have you assumed in the world?
There are probably not many people here who can give positive answers. Although everyone talks about the world and thinks about the world, they are just talking about writing, talking about war on paper, and even counting black and yellow. The world has never been the world in words!
So, the passage I just read deeply seemed to be asking questions, but in fact, it blocked everyone's mouth.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the library became a little dull and weird.
At this time, the sun had probably risen to the top of the ceil, and the hot energy was burning directly on the library. The heat slowly penetrated into the building from outside. The sultry feeling made the entire library look like a huge steamer, with sweat rolling down drop by drop, and soon a pool of accumulated under my feet. Qinghan looked at me and took out a handkerchief and handed it to me.
I took it, but I was not busy wiping my sweat, but looked around nervously.
Can anyone else say anything?
In my opinion, although this argument may end today, it should not have ended so quickly and in this way.
I don’t know how long it took, someone from downstairs stood up and said to Nian Shen: “I am worthy of being the master of the mountain leader. I am indeed a unique and extraordinary person, which makes me enlightened.”
Nian Shen smiled and bowed: "I dare not take it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party immediately asked, "Who is you?"
Nian Shen's smile was still condensed on his face before he could get rid of it. When he was asked like this, he was stunned for a moment, a little caught off guard, and everyone around him also focused his eyes on him.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't you say it just now?"
Another man stood up and said, "That's right, you just said that you are a disciple of the mountain captain, but who are you before this identity?"
It seems that some people have already doubted his identity.
In fact, this is not surprising. Although the people in this library talk about the world, their views are very different. Some people only base themselves on one body because they can only see themselves in their eyes; some people base themselves on Xichuan, because their vision is limited to Xichuan; that day, Mr. Qi's conversation was based on his family and country, so Qinghan suspected that his identity was a "meat eater". Just now, the words he had just found in the world.
This is not the thinking and insights of an ordinary person.
Nian Shen was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, took a deep breath, then stood up straight, and said calmly: "I'm not far from you to deceive you."
“…”
"My surname is Pei, and my name is Nianshen."
I didn't expect that he would actually say it. I suddenly felt tense, and Qinghan also frowned.
Pei Nianshen, when this name sounded in the library, it suppressed everyone's breathing and heartbeat.
People here don't know him, have never seen him, but no one doesn't know the name.
Pei Nianshen, Your Highness the Crown Prince!
Some people stood up in surprise and pointed at him, but couldn't speak in their mouths, while others were shocked and hurriedly said, "Prince?"
"He is really the prince?"
"Someone said before that I saw the imperial court's troops near Xishan Academy. Is it true?"
"How could he join Nan Zhenyi's disciple?"
"Can Nan Zhenyi have already joined the court?"
...
As soon as he heard the discussions of those people, Nian Shen hurriedly said, "Everyone, the teacher has accepted me as a disciple, and it has nothing to do with Xishan Academy, nor has it to do with my identity."
Having said that, he is the prince after all, and this is different from an ordinary rich young man after all.
Seeing everyone talking, their faces became more and more weird, and the wind direction became more and more strange, Xiang Wenliang suddenly stood up and bowed to Pei Nianshen: "Junior Brother Pei, your remarks just now were indeed very exciting, but I still have another question to ask you."
Xiang Wenliang was also Nan Zhenyi's apprentice. As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately became quiet.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of fierce confrontation would be between Nan Zhenyi's own apprentices.
Nian Shen immediately bowed to him and said, "Please give me advice."
Xiang Wenliang said: "I didn't expect that my junior brother was the crown prince of the current dynasty. The world you see is broader and clearer than the world we see. I want to ask you, if those who take the world as their own responsibility are the world of this person. What would the court do to such a person?"
“…!”
As soon as this question came out, the entire library suddenly became thrilled.
If everyone's questions and answers were still discussing the truth before this, then the question raised by Xiang Wenliang is no longer a simple discussion of the truth. He is directly asking the court.
From the moment the prince appeared, everyone understood what the purpose of this separation and reunion was to pave the way for peace talks between the court and Xichuan. But if there was a real peace talks, how would the court treat Xichuan and the people in Xichuan? This is the question that everyone really cares about.
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Pei Nianshen. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Take the world as his responsibility, and the heaven will not let it down, and the court cannot let it down!"
Lu Sheng next to him stood up and said coldly: "But what Yangzhou experienced back then was vivid in my mind!"
This sentence is like a bucket of cold water poured from the top of the library.
Everyone's eyes also became colder.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Of course, people in Xichuan will not forget that while the imperial court attacked Xichuan, the people of Yangzhou rose up to resist and the war situation was delayed, so the imperial court transferred the troops sent to Xichuan to Yangzhou, captured and massacred the city. Xichuan escaped and gained his own jurisdiction that was independent of the court in these years.
When it comes to their massacre in Yangzhou back then, this issue has been extremely sharp!
I just felt cold sweat in my palms, and I couldn't even hold my fists tightly. Nianshen was the prince after all, and he was from the Pei family. How should he face what his ancestors had done? And how should he face the people who asked questions?
At this time, a hand reached out and held my hand.
When he turned around, he saw that it was Qinghan. He was as nervous as me, and his forehead was covered with sweat, but he still said in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive, let him pass this level by himself."
“…”
"He must be here too."
I whispered: "You, can't you still trust Pei Yuanhao completely?"
"..." He was silent for a while, and then said, "A good emperor must not be a gentleman. But we all think he will be a good emperor."
“…”
"So, let the prince speak first about Xichuan."
I nodded silently, then looked up at Nian Shen, and his face turned pale in an instant. Although the temperature was so high that it was almost lit up the books around him, he seemed to be in the snow and ice, even his lips were a little white.
He was silent all the time, and the people below could not help but ask: "Your Highness, can this matter still make your prince embarrassed?"
"Does Your Highness the Crown Prince think that there is nothing wrong with this?"
These people's words unintentionally pushed the problem down to a more acute level.
My breathing is about to stop.
At this moment, everyone finally saw Pei Nianshen slowly raising his head. A trace of perseverance appeared on the pale, young man's face. He said, "Of course there is something wrong with this matter."
Everyone looked at him in shock.
He said, "It's my fault."
“…”
"The fault is that I cannot be born at that time, turn the tide and save the people; it is also that I am that I am powerless to turn the world back at this time, and I will only sigh."
“…”
Unexpectedly, he would say that, and everyone was a little stunned.
You know, criticizing the ancestors is an unfilial matter to anyone. The problem of those people just now was to push him to that desperate situation, but he suddenly took all the mistakes on himself and admitted the mistakes in that matter. But the wrong person was not his ancestor, but his powerless self.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
However, everyone was silent, but he did not remain silent. Instead, he continued to say during this silence: "The father is deeply regretful and wants to make up for this mistake at all times. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he implemented a new policy, deposed the untouchables in Jiangnan, reduced the land tax, and exchanged a place for the people to live. These are all measures he always wanted to compensate the people in Jiangnan."
“…”
"This is because he takes the world as his responsibility. I believe that God will not let it down, and the people will not let it down!"
At this moment, no one could speak.
Pei Yuanhao's actions in Jiangnan and the new policies implemented in the world are real, and the people in Xichuan are not stupid. They can't see who they are beneficial to. If such measures can be implemented in Xichuan, they will only have a good share and they will not resist it.
After all, what the people want may be simpler than what they think.
Lu Sheng and Xiang Wenliang looked at each other, and neither of them said anything else, but slowly sat down.
This time, the library was really quiet. Everyone was thinking about it, but not trying to refute him, but thinking about what he just said.
Although the surroundings were quiet, I could hear myself, and the cold heartbeat around me, which was a little more violent than just now. The hand he held my hand also felt a burst of sweat in his heart. The two of them held each other's fingers tightly, holding each other's hand.
Because we all know that right now is the key.
Who can dominate the entire argument in the future? Then the trend of separation and integration can be finally concluded.
We looked down nervously, and those people seemed to have such a vague feeling in their hearts, and no one dared to speak easily.
I don’t know how long it took to see a very young student who was probably just entering the school, stood up and asked softly: “So, how do you take the world as your responsibility?”
Everyone immediately looked at Nian Shen.
To be continued...
