Volume 1, Chapter 253: You can meet the emperor without kneeling.
Most people in the field were confused.
Even Ye Tingmu himself was confused.
When Feng He took action, the two men refused to kneel and were not punished. Instead, the one who was beaten suffered the consequences.
This wave of operations is really a show.
Is this the emperor's right? He can do whatever he wants.
At this moment, he just wanted to say that this emperor was worth dealing with.
Although he abandoned Feng He and ignored him for fifteen years, he still had some opinions about him.
After this operation, he had to change his opinion of this person.
For some reason, there was a hint of respect in the look she gave him.
Watching the general being dragged away, the anger in Feng He's eyes turned into a smug smile.
He was not good at hiding his emotions, and now the corners of his mouth were raised high, with a smug look all over his sharp face.
He even whispered in Ye Tingmu's ear: "Brother, this emperor is a good person, and he seems to be in the same group with us."
Hiss...Ye Tingmu sucked in a breath of cold air, helplessness written all over his face. "Would you like to speak louder?"
Although what he said is true, but...
And the word "this emperor" is not very accurate.
Although his voice was not loud.
But this hall is so quiet now.
His words naturally fell clearly into the ears of everyone present.
Without exception, the ministers' eyes were filled with horror this time, which was even more exaggerated than when Feng He took action before.
The word "shocking" is exactly what is used to describe Feng He at this moment.
Zhang Ruling couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile on his face.
The others looked at each other but said nothing.
That’s your father, what do you mean by emperor?
As for this group, the description is a bit too vulgar.
Even Chao Tianque couldn't help but twitch his face at this moment.
I couldn't help but wonder if my son was a little stupid.
Ye Tingmu naturally knew that something was wrong. The atmosphere at the scene, which had just calmed down, was stirred up again by this kid's words.
He pulled his arm.
He whispered: "Stop talking."
Feng He was puzzled and stared with his tiger eyes.
"Why, am I wrong? Isn't he on our side?"
"Shut up!"
"oh....."
It seems that the two of them are still in the mood to chat among themselves.
The ministers were speechless, but more than that, they were filled with indignation and dissatisfaction.
In their eyes, these two people are simply too arrogant.
This is the Golden Palace. Do they really treat them as decorations? They are so unscrupulous and even started chatting.
At this moment, Chao Tianque coughed twice.
It slightly eased the awkward and depressing atmosphere.
Then he spoke calmly.
"You are Ye Tingmu!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tingmu quickly straightened up.
Reply to Chao Tianque.
"Your Majesty, that's right."
Chao Tianque nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, you are a handsome man. I heard you say earlier that you would only kneel to your parents in this life, not to heaven and earth, not to all things, not even to the gods. Is this true?"
Ye Tingmu's expression became stern, and his brows furrowed slightly.
I was thinking that the emperor was unhappy that I didn't kneel down just now.
He paused for a moment, then replied honestly, "Your Majesty, I did say that."
There was an even more playful look on Chao Xiao's lips at this moment, and he stared at Ye Tingmu without moving his eyes away.
Compared to my younger brother Feng He.
He was more interested in Ye Tingmu.
The people around were also talking in low voices.
Only kneel to your parents, not to heaven and earth, not to all things.
"Oh...I don't know why you said that. I'm very curious."
Ye Ting lowered his head, his face twitching.
What can I say about this?
I can't tell you that I said this just to show off.
He gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "Your Majesty, I believe that as a human being, we can only move forward with our feet on the earth and our heads on the sky. If that's the case, why should I kneel to the heaven and earth? My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven. As for gods, I have never seen them, so why should I kneel?"
"But I am not a commoner who does not kneel to everything. I also kneel four times."
If these words were said now, they would not make any sense.
But this is in this world.
A place full of gods and ghosts.
There are immortals above the sky and gods within the four seas.
The faith in people's hearts, if not in heaven, then in gods.
I also believe that fate is determined by heaven.
Cause and effect repeat.
At this moment, Ye Tingmu heard these words.
It couldn't help but resonate with the hearts of everyone present.
Especially the sentence, "My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God", which is so domineering and courageous.
Born as a human being, we practice cultivation against the will of heaven, and what we are fighting against is the sky above our heads.
The same is true for demons.
But no one could say such words, because on this day, they could not fight, nor did they dare to fight.
Everyone's expressions changed, and there was even a hint of admiration in their eyes when they looked at Ye Tingmu.
At this time, Chao Xiao frowned and muttered softly, "With feet on the ground and head up to the sky."
Yes, humans have limbs.
At the age of one, you can step on the ground, look up at the blue sky, and walk upright.
Now that you have stood up, why do you have to kneel before the world?
The sky is big and the earth is vast, I can run rampant.
Chao Tianque straightened up at this time, with some shock in his eyes.
He asked again, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
"Which four are they? Tell me, I want to know!"
The others also focused their attention on him again.
Ye Tingmu raised his head, his brows relaxed, and his face looked solemn.
He spoke solemnly.
"One kneel to my parents for raising me, two kneel to my teachers for reshaping me, three kneel to those who have done me a favor, and four kneel to those who are virtuous and respected."
After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
His expression also became more serious.
There was recognition in their eyes.
"Good! Very good! A good four kneelings." He spoke to Tianque, his tone full of appreciation and satisfaction.
"From today on, in this Jiuzhou, I allow you, Ye Tingmu, not to kneel when you see anyone, even me. You can kneel if you want to, and don't kneel if you don't want to."
Everyone sighed, even Chao Xiao's face showed a solemn expression at this moment.
Such privileges are comparable to those of a king.
Maybe Ye Tingmu didn’t know what this meant, but everyone present understood.
This is a privilege only enjoyed by the king. If one does not kneel before the emperor, then he is not a member of the Chao clan.
Only a few people have appeared in the entire history of Kyushu.
And not one of them is still alive.
The most recent one is the northern gangster king Situ Feng.
You can see what a gift this is.
Feng He's eyes were full of excitement at this moment, and his proud head was raised even higher.
I thought to myself, my brother is worthy of being my brother, he is so cool wherever he goes.
With just a few words, he dealt with all these people.
What happened to the emperor of Jiuzhou? He is still controlled by my brother.
Ye Tingmu felt that this result was somewhat unreal.
He didn't expect that the emperor was so easy to talk to.
But I can't pretend too much.
Since others give you face.
Then he has to give others face too.
He naturally knew what such a privilege meant.
Not kneeling before the emperor meant that he was on the same level as the king.
He rolled up his official robe and then knelt down in the surprised eyes of everyone.
He stood straight, his voice deep and clear, and said: "I, Ye Tingmu, thank you for your grace."
