Putting aside the mythology in this story, it is an indisputable fact that Han Liangru became the final winner. If the Han family's records are correct, Han Liangru should be in his twenties at this time, and he might have appeared somewhere and started to cause trouble. ...
This man is a Taoist priest, but he has his own son, and he becomes a monk and returns to secular life from time to time, as if becoming a monk is a way for him to change his identity. If He Tingzhi had not been mentioned today, Xiao Rong might not have remembered him for a while, but Qu Yunmie knew the other parties in this power game so early, which made Xiao Rong think.
Could it be that Han Liangru has already started playing his big game?
It was not until Qu Yunmie called him a few times that Xiao Rong came to his senses.
He asked Qu Yunmie: "What did the king say?"
Qu Yunmie: "...What is it that has you thinking so intently? Are you still thinking about that person called Han Liangru? Then I have to ask you, in your eyes, who is more courageous, me or Han Liangru?"
Xiao Rong: “…”
He suddenly remembered a sentence, who is more handsome, me or Mr. Xu from the north of the city? …………
You really know how to ask questions. Why don’t you ask who is smarter between you and Han Liangru?
Xiao Rong twitched his lips and said, "Han Liangru is a rare scholar that I heard about during my study tour. Although I have never met him, I know that he cannot be compared with the king."
Qu Yunmie's face looked better, and Xiao Rong continued to persuade him: "In terms of bravery, no one in this world can compare to you. Compared with you, everyone else is weak. If that's the case, you should be open-minded and lenient to others. You should be more polite in your words and actions to those who are weaker than you. This way, they will be more grateful."
When Xiao Rong said this, he had a respectful expression on his face, and he even blinked at Qu Yunmie after he finished speaking. If Qu Yunmie hadn't been stubborn enough, he would have really been fooled into it. ...
But he suddenly reacted the second before he was deceived. Xiao Rong said that compared to him, everyone in the world was weak, so doesn't that mean he should be polite to everyone in the world? Why? He is the King of Zhenbei, why should he be polite to everyone? !
Qu Yunmie's face darkened immediately: "You want me to learn from He Tingzhi?"
Xiao Rong quickly explained: "Being polite does not mean flattery. Being polite... means adhering to the rules of hospitality. I heard from the Prime Minister that the king did a good job in the past, didn't he?"
Qu Yunmie sneered: "Yes, when I insisted on the way of hospitality, I found that there are so many villains in this world. They are disrespectful when they are close and resentful when they are far away. If I treat them politely, they will climb directly over my head. If I am more polite, the Zhenbei Army will be handed over to others!"
Xiao Rong: “…”
You always say that I brag, but if you exaggerate, even eight horses can’t catch up with you!
He tried to be calm and said, "Your Majesty, are you referring to the governor of Jinning? His suggestion is indeed not good, but he is just a man seeking fame. No matter what he does, he can't force Your Majesty to do something you don't want to do. If Your Majesty doesn't like his suggestion, just drive him away. Why kill him? Since the death of the governor of Jinning, Your Majesty has had several scholars come to Your Majesty because of his reputation. Haven't Your Majesty suffered enough?"
Qu Yunmie: "If what you mean by suffering a loss is revenge, then this king really hasn't suffered enough. This villain has offered slanderous words to me to test my bottom line. Why should I treat him with hospitality? I will kill this hypocritical person one by one."
Xiao Rong's expression changed slightly, and he stared at Qu Yunmie without saying a word.
Historically, he died because of the four words "revenge". Now he doesn't know what his ending will be, so he dares to say it so openly.
If he knew that not only he but also his entire army and clan were killed, would he still dare to speak so arrogantly?
It would be fine if he didn't dare, but the problem was that Xiao Rong didn't know whether he dared or not. What if he was the kind of person who insisted on hitting the wall even though he knew there was a wall?
Xiao Rong listed so many shortcomings of Qu Yunmie, but he never mentioned this. It was not because he forgot, but because he knew that this was the most fatal flaw of Qu Yunmie. Because he didn't know what to do for the time being, he never mentioned it, so as not to touch upon the most feared nightmare in his heart.
He was afraid that Qu Yunmie would continue to act on impulse, causing all his enthusiasm to go to waste, ultimately killing him, himself, and those people Xiao Rong already knew.
But this is not something that can be forgotten without mentioning it. Qu Yunmie is such a person, he will have to face it sooner or later.
Xiao Rong's eyes were like nails, which made Qu Yunmie realize that he was really angry, but he was not a person who would give in, so he looked back calmly. The carriage was quiet for a moment, and suddenly, Xiao Rong said: "A rotten tree cannot be carved."
Qu Yunmie was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became ugly: "What did you say?"
Xiao Rong's speech speed immediately quickened: "I said that a rotten tree cannot be carved! Only a reckless man would act out of impulse. Your Majesty keeps saying that he wants to be a qualified Zhenbei King for everyone. Is this what the Zhenbei King should do? People who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes cannot tolerate the world! No one is perfect, and everyone has character flaws. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to kill everyone in the world! If that's the case, Your Majesty should kill me first!"
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
His face was filled with disbelief: "You are being unreasonable! I just can't tolerate villains!"
Xiao Rong became even angrier: "Then who is a villain and who is a gentleman? Who gets to define the difference between the two? If someone displeases the king, he is a villain? If someone kills people just because of one person's preference, do you know what this is called? This is called killing innocent people!"
Qu Yunmie also got angry: "Yes, this is how I am. Sir, have you forgotten? But I still remember what you said at the beginning, that I am - tyrannical and bloodthirsty!!"
Xiao Rong laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, you are so cruel and bloodthirsty. I just wanted the king to be more polite to others in the future, but the king used these four words to shut me up. The governor of Jinning just proposed an idea that was impossible to realize, but the king chopped off his head with his own hands. Now that I have contradicted the king today, I am afraid that I will not even have a complete corpse. How do you plan to deal with me? Slice me or chop me into meat paste?"
The veins on Qu Yunmie's forehead bulged, and he shouted, "Xiao Rong, don't push your luck!!!"
Xiao Rong shouted even louder than him: "How did I get too far?! If life and death are determined by likes and dislikes, this is what I deserve! Am I a villain then? Am I doing this just to gain fame? My life is staked on this, why should I lose my head just because I said something wrong?!"
A bunch of people outside the carriage were staring at this side in astonishment. Even Gao Xunzhi stuck his head out from his side. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He wanted to go down and persuade them on the spot, but Mi Jing, who was meditating, suddenly stopped him and told him not to go over.
