Chapter 143 The Essence of Water

Some people live for a certain moment.

For example, the three people in front of you.

Within eighty days in a certain time and space, their flowers of life were in full swing...

In that time and space, they were not serving the old dynasty, but doing their best to their dignity.

This quality is one that Yun Zhao values ​​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 be dignified love... This is the cornerstone of why people are human and why they transcend the concept of animals.

Xu Yuanshou couldn't understand why Yun Zhao was so arrogant to those who were knowledgeable and famous, but he had a lot of eyes on these three little officials.

"The wine you brought may cost five taels of silver per jar?"

After these days of interaction, Yan Yingyuan's impression of Yun Zhao is no longer that bad.

Yun Zhao said: "You guessed it wrong. This jar of wine comes from the south of Jiange, Shuzhong. After hiding for thirty years, a jar of wine is only half of the original one. The wine is sticky and it is best to drink it with new wine.

Thirty years, a jar of wine, a lifetime of life, wouldn’t it be too insulting to have five taels of silver?”

"Is this the benefit of being an emperor?" Yan Yingyuan sighed slightly.

Yun Zhao raised his glasses and touched the three people in front of him, drank all the wine in the glass and said, "The benefits of being an emperor are so unpredictable."

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

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I, Lantian, have never harmed the people. On the contrary, we are saving all people from the fire and water. The people in the world have seen too hard work, so I will be their emperor. It is very fair."

The academic and political instructor Feng Houdun said helplessly: "I know that your family has been a huge enemy for many generations. You are a disciple of Xu Yuanshou, a great scholar of the generation. You must be careful of your face and cannot just say something shameless."

Yun Zhao looked at the prison guard standing outside the door and said, "Do you like me to be your emperor?"

The jailer bowed with a smile and said, "The little one is willing, not only the little one is willing, but even the little one is willing."

Yun Zhao was very satisfied with the prison guard's answer, and spread his hands and said to Feng Houdun: "What do you think?"

Feng Houdun glared at the middle-aged jailer and said, "How many years have your father passed away?"

The jailer smiled and said, "It's been nineteen years."

Feng Houdun said: "At that time, the Yun family was still a giant gangster in the mountains and fields, and do you like it too?"

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

Feng Houdun said: "Okay, when we finish drinking this decapitated wine, we will 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 the oldest Yan Yingyuan and said, "What's the solution?"

Yan Yingyuan said: "The 100,000 people in Jiangyin almost became the souls of the cannon. The three of us can't live anymore. The people in Jiangyin are strong and prone to anger. If the three of us do not die, I am worried that the people in Jiangyin will be taken advantage of by giant gangs like you."

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "This will not happen. If there is any, I will be beheaded!"

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

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "You can really do whatever you want. If you don't live and look at me, maybe I will go crazy that day and kill 100,000 people in Jiangyin."

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

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "What he drank was not poison wine, but Chuancheng San, and he used aconite wine to take it. He could only drink one cup and die. He still drank wildly when he drank seven orifices. He was considered 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 lives of ordinary people. As a result, he refused and said that he was the emperor in life and the emperor in death.

It’s understandable that he thinks this way. I have only been the emperor for half a year. If I suddenly don’t become the emperor, I will feel that life is worse than death.”

"You will also seek death?"

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

Chen Mingyu said: "Maybe you have been emperor for too short and have not eaten the marrow and tasted it."

Yun Zhao thought for a while and said, "All founding kings have the determination to persevere and persistence to sleep on firewood and taste gall. Therefore, they all know that only by living can one create infinite possibilities. If they die, they will be really done.

So, many founding kings have done many embarrassing things. After success, they will turn black and white to death, and make themselves afraid of death and failure, and exaggerate themselves into noble moral integrity."

"What will you do in the future?" Feng Houdun was very interested in what Yun Zhao said and couldn't help asking.

"I have nothing to hide. I am a worldly example of success in one go, and I am the object of imitation by the emperor in the future. After all, my existence itself is the supreme luck of the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"I mean, your identity as a robber family, your reputation as a lustful man, and you clearly accepted the title of the Ming Dynasty and was a real Ming official, but you forced your emperor to death with your own hands, disrupted the Ming Dynasty's world with your own hands, and caused the people of the Ming Dynasty to suffer a great disaster..."

"The Yun family is a thousand-year-old robber family. I think this is a glory, just like a saint family, it is a temporary choice. There is nothing to avoid. Not only is it not to avoid it, I also want to integrate the bloodline of the Yun family's thousand-year-old robbers into the bloodline of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

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

As for other things, such as lust and regicide, it is nothing to me. If I do it, I just do it. If I don’t do it, I just don’t do it. Just know it myself. There is no need to explain it to anyone. After all, I am the king.

Since you are a king, it is supposed to be commented on by people all over the world, and I don’t mind.”

Chen Mingyu frowned and said, "You are so careless, aren't you afraid that Zhu Ming will rekindle?"

Yun Zhao took out a belt from his sleeve and threw it to Chen Mingyu and said, "This is the last letter of mercy written to me by Zhu Ming's king who did not surrender. If you think that such as ashes can be rekindled, I will have nothing to say."

Feng Houdun, the best-schooled among the three, spread his laces and looked at them, handed them to Yan Yingyuan and said, "There is no hope."

After reading the edict of robes, Yan Yingyuan threw it to Chen Mingyu and said, "The reason why we are trying to stop the army in Jiangyin is not for these worms. It is just that the Lantian army is coming and we want to take back all of our property. From then on, everyone in the world will become your Yun clan's slaves, and can only survive by relying on your Yun clan.

It is absolutely impossible to do as a slave.

Later, after hearing Gu Yanwu talk about the national policy of Lantian, I realized that I was deceived."

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

Yun Zhao raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's drink this glass of wine together and go your separate ways. I will continue to be my emperor. You will go back to Jiangyin to continue to be your people. If you want to be an official, go to the local county government office and government office to report. As long as you can pass the assessment, you will be able to do so."

Chen Mingyu smiled bitterly and raised his belt and was about to tear it. Yun Zhao took it back and stuffed it into his sleeve and said, "This is a good thing, it cannot be damaged. It must be preserved and displayed in the Great Hall in the future."

Chen Mingyu said: "We should die from three of us..."

After saying that, Yun Zhao raised his hand and blocked his mouth with a wine glass and said, "What's the death? A great day is coming. Let's live well. Let's see how I show my strength and govern my Han people into the world!"

After saying that, he drank half of the remaining wine in one go, threw down the wine glass and bowed to the three, "Go away!"

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

Yan Yingyuan and the other two watched Yun Zhao's figure disappear at the corner of the prison. The three of them looked at each other and threw down their wine glasses together, leaving all the thoughts of talking.

The prison door was wide open, and they did not doubt Yun Zhaofang's sincerity in leaving, but they were a little embarrassed. To this day, they still do not understand the qualifications of the three small clerks to drink with the notorious giant bandits today.

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

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

Yan Yingyuan glanced at the prison guard who was guarding the door with an impatient look on his face and said, "Let's go, the emperor treats us politely, but these bastards don't. I have been a classic history for many years, and even the truth that the King of Hell is easy to meet and the little ghost is difficult to deal with.

Since we don’t kill us, we don’t have the reason to seek death on our own.”

The three of them had just left the prison with their bags when they saw the prisoner change into ordinary clothes and lock the prison door, untied a donkey from under the tree, and sat on it, leaving with great difficulty.

"The three of us were locked up in the entire prison, right?"

Feng Houdun was a little unbelievable.

Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu were originally Jiangyin Dianshi, so they would not understand Feng Houdun’s doubts. These days, they had seen this prisoner, and this guy only appeared in the daytime. At night, the entire prison was so quiet that it was scary. There were only three prisoners in the prison.

"Let's go, go home."

Yan Yingyuan carried his package on his back and left first. Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun followed closely.

After leaving Yushan Prison, after three or two turns, he entered a main street.

The street is crowded and bustling. After the three people merge into the crowd, they quickly disappeared, just like three drops of water merged into rivers and lakes.
