Remembering her mother’s teachings, Hong became more determined to her own ideas.

The moonlight is clear, the bright moonlight shines through the windowsill and falls into the house, and outside the house is a burst of insects chirping, high and low, making people listen like a song of flowing water. From time to time, a few shadows flew by, but they were nocturnal birds, and a quiet and serene night painting unfolded.

Inside the house, however, it was not calm.

“Squeak!”

The wooden door was slowly pulled open, and the red hand and foot quietly walked to the living room.

Before the person arrived, Ma Hui, who was lying on the sofa, instantly opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at her: “Not sleeping yet?” ”

Red was obviously taken aback: “You… Didn’t you sleep either? She asked in a weak tone.

Ma Hui said, “I’m very sleepy. ”

He was used to being alert, and if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have survived to this day.

People sometimes really can’t help themselves, no one can say right or wrong, but the sense of survival is a must for all people.

Ma Hui stood up and walked to the chandelier switch, “clicked” and gently pressed the switch, and suddenly, the room was like daylight, and the tile lamp on the head emitted a soft light, spreading the light all over the house.

Looking at the bright chandelier, Ma Hui suddenly smiled, and said in a nostalgic tone: “I suddenly remembered a story. ”

“What story?” Red suddenly became extremely curious.

“You want to hear it?”

“Hmm.”

Red nodded, it was a topic that was a good topic to know him, and she was happy and eager to walk into his heart.

Ma Hui sat on the sofa again, signaled Hong not to stand, found a place to sit, and spoke slowly:

“Once upon a time there was a country, a very rich country, and the king had three sons, but he himself was very old, and he needed to choose a wise and capable prince for this kingdom before the end of his life, and who would inherit the throne?

It seems that all three sons are smart and capable, and it is difficult to determine who is the best candidate. One of the ministers gave the king an idea. ”

Looking at Hong, Ma Hui stopped the story and asked her, “Do you know what the idea is?” ”

Hong thought for a moment and said, “Let the people of the country vote for a wise prince to inherit the throne?” ”

“Haha.”

Ma Hui couldn’t help but let out laughter after hearing this, and asked, “Do you think the daimyo will make people vote for the next heir?” ”

As soon as she heard this, her red face blushed shyly, she only thought that it was a fairy tale, so she didn’t think deeply, who would have thought that Ma Hui would use the tone of a fairy tale to tell reality.

She gambled, “I can’t think of it.” ”

Ma Hui continued:

“In a few days, the king summoned his three sons to his side, and said to them, Give you an empty house and a silver or two, and you will buy things with this silver or two, and fill the room, and whoever fills it quickly and fully will inherit the throne.

The three sons were very worried when they heard this, what can one or two silver buy? Still filling the room? But in order to hurry, I hurried to the market. ”

He paused and looked at Red.

Red smiled: “I’ll listen!” ”

“Well, then I’ll move on.” Ma Hui said.

When the scheduled time came, the king began to check, and he went to the room of his eldest son, and saw that there were sacks of sand stacked in the room, which was far from filling the room. The king glanced dissatisfiedly at his eldest son, who was standing dejectedly, and turned away.

He pushed open his second son’s room, and saw that it was piled up in a messy manner with bundles of straw, which still did not fill the room. The second son was ashamed and annoyed, and watched his father turn away.

Finally, the king came to the younger son’s room, opened the door and looked at it, stunned, there was nothing in the room, and he looked at the younger son in surprise. At this time, the younger son smiled and took out a candle from his pocket. Still confused, the king asked him, “How do you fill the room?”

The younger son said mysteriously: Don’t worry, fill it up immediately. Saying that he took out a match and lit the candle, he raised the candle in his hand and said to his father; You see, isn’t the whole room filled with candlelight now?

The house was filled with bright candlelight, and the king was very satisfied with his younger son, and the eldest son and second son were also deeply ashamed of themselves. The king publicly announced that his younger son was heir to the throne. ”

Hong was surprised: “The future king will elect an heir like this?” ”

Ma Hui asked rhetorically: “Otherwise, what method do you think should be used to elect the future king?” ”

Hong said seriously: “At the very least, we must also test the prince’s character, knowledge, and ability to deal with emergencies.” ”

Ma Hui shook his head, “The point of this story is not this, but that the crown prince was directly announced by the king, in fact, the story does not end here.” ”

“And the follow-up?” Red questioned.

“Of course.”

Ma Hui continued:

After the death of the old king, the new prince took the throne, but he was young, many ministers did not obey him and did not listen to him, and the enemy country coveted the wealth of the country, always thinking of plundering their wealth and land. The eldest prince and the second prince are actually not as docile as they appear, and they always want to pull their younger brother off the throne and become the king themselves.

Finally, civil unrest began.

The eldest prince practiced the invasion of his territory by enemy generals, and the second prince also contacted the ministers who had advised the king, hoping to use it for himself and help him sit on the throne.

The young king faced the difficulties of his eldest and second brothers, the invasion of enemy countries, and the internal turmoil in his own country, and the once proud cleverness was simply ineffective in the face of national affairs.

So, he thought of a way.

Implement the policy of all-people soldiers, and lead their own soldiers to carry out reprisals against enemy countries.

“In the end, guess what happened?” Ma Hui asked.

“The New Kingdom defeats enemy nations and judges civil strife?” Red hesitated for a moment and guessed.

“No,” Ma Hui shook his head, “the new king is dead. ”

Red was puzzled, “Ah, why? The new kings have worked so hard. ”

“Yes, he tried, and he tried very hard, endured a lot of loneliness and entanglement, but no one felt how good he was, and many people thought that he was able to sit on the throne only by his cleverness, without the wisdom and talent of the old king, so he failed.”

A good educational fairy tale was broken into a poisonous story by Ma Hui, and he also told a joke: “The most important thing is that the new king rides too fast.” ”

“What’s the matter with riding too fast?” Red was even more puzzled.

“Because this country is called the Silver Wing Country.”

Red looked at him confused, not puzzled, she shook her head, “I haven’t heard of this country. ”

“Blind, it’s late, go to bed, going to bed late is a chronic killer.” Ma Hui looked at her, “Or should I send you home?” He was afraid that Niko would not be used to it.

“No, it’s good here.”

Sitting next to Ma Hui, smelling the faint breath on his body, the red heart trembled.

It was late at night.

The clouds drifted by, and the moon hid in the clouds, making the moonlight gradually dim, or blushing and reluctant to probe.

ps: Great change, harmony is the main thing.
