Chapter 408

As his words continued to fall, the emperor's expression finally changed.

Although I don't want to admit that I'm useless, the emperor knows better that he can't accept everything in this population.

It seems that seeing the emperor's expression loose, the man took two steps forward, and his tone became more and more ardent.

"Sire," he cried, trying his best to describe the good life that might be in the future, "do you really want to live such a hard life?"

"Ling Tianwang once promised me that if you choose to surrender, he can insist on it for such a long time, so that you can be an idle Lord, and have plenty of time to do what you like every day."

When he spoke, he kept staring at the emperor, and did not let go of any changes in his expression.

some eunuchs standing quietly next to him could not listen any more. He kept panting, and some mean faces looked straight at the minister who was talking.

"Shameless man!" He opened his mouth and scolded. For a moment, he even forgot to prepare and let himself stand in front of the emperor. "How can your majesty do such a thing! He was the king above! How can we suffer such humiliation! Can't you see Ling Tianwang's ambition? "

Speaking of this, he can't help pausing and pressing down the sour in his heart. Only in this way can he make his next words not too bitter.

But for the minister, such words have been hard for him to accept!

"Or what did Ling Tianwang do for you? So that you can easily betray the people in front of you, just to get the benefits? "

The eunuch's voice fell slowly, and no one spoke for a moment.

The emperor's slight looseness has been hard pressed by him, and only determination remains in his heart.

He looked at the thin figure in front of him with complicated eyes. He couldn't help sighing and said, "I never thought that you were the only one who stood on my side in the end."

The emperor's voice was like thunder from the horizon, which broke the silence in the room.

Eunuch as if this just reaction come over, at a loss of retreat to the emperor's back.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little forgetful for a moment," the eunuch said in a respectful low voice with a deep bow.

As this sentence fell, the faces of the ministers became more and more ugly.

They think they are scholars who have read Confucius and Mencius, and they think they are superior. They usually look down on these rootless eunuchs, but now it's the eunuch who shows off his power in front of him. How can that be?

In the bottom of their hearts, even if they are dirty, even if they are the most shameful filth in the mud, they also feel that they are not allowed to say more. What's more, they will look for bright brocade and wrap themselves up so that others will think they are bright and beautiful.

After a few gasps, the man forcefully pinched his palm and forced himself to calm down.

He looked up at the emperor with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this man's nonsense!" He began to shout, "he is just a eunuch without roots, the most humble person in the world. How can he understand me for the sake of the world and your Majesty's heart?"

If he had not seen the eunuch's performance just now, the emperor would not have seen the hypocrisy in his expression, but all the accidents were right.

He quietly looked at the man, the expression slowly sink down.

"For my good?" He asked, word for word.

That person's body stiff for a while, in the heart some embarrassment, but for own life, he after all is to stretch a face to force of nod.

"Ling Tianwang said, if your majesty can figure it out in his heart..." He also wanted to repeat the guarantee he made up temporarily. He didn't know whether it was to repeat it to the emperor or to repeat it to himself.

"Enough!" Finally, the emperor was completely impatient. He pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, and the irony in his heart was no longer covered up.

"Why do you say these high sounding words again," the emperor said, "Ling Tianwang will say such words? But I don't believe it. "

The man wanted to argue, but his mouth was open for a long time, and his only conscience made him speechless.

Seeing him like this, the more afraid the emperor was to confirm his guess, the more indifferent his eyes were.

"He attaches great importance to those unimportant people, but he doesn't care about his reputation at all. In this case, he has no reason to save my life at all."

This once bustling space is quiet, only the emperor's voice is constantly ringing, and the eunuch can't suppress smoking occasionally.

"Your Majesty..." He began to shout, and his face had already been covered with tears. He looked very embarrassed.

Hearing his voice, the emperor stopped for a moment and turned to look at him."I didn't expect that you were the only one who was really good to me in the end," the emperor repeated again, with a faint voice.

But maybe it's because of a guilty heart, those ministers just feel that the voice is firmly engraved in their hearts, so that they can't ignore it at all.

Drooping eyelids, the emperor who no longer see, just a little bit of said he just realized the truth.

"Since I was born, I've always been on top," he said softly. "Later, I became emperor, and I became the top of thousands of people."

"At the beginning, I also wanted to be a good emperor for the common people, but I don't know when I was left with only a bunch of flatterers. Those ministers also had their own calculations, hid their own qualities, and said these grandiose nonsense."

Listening to the emperor's words, the ministers only felt as if they had been heavily punched, red and hot.

Their toes lingered uneasily on the ground, but they unconsciously recalled their original intention of becoming an official.

It seems that, like the emperor, they wanted to be a good minister at the beginning, and they will be able to keep their names in history and let everyone know their names.

But maybe it's because they have more and more power in their hands, or because they have been inheriting power for a long time in the officialdom. They begin to enjoy everything brought by power. They are lost in this Vanity Fair. They can no longer find themselves who used to study alone. They forget their goals and plans at the beginning, and only have calculation in their eyes.
