"Well, I know, but I'm still a little confused, I don't understand, where does Hai Mao's loyalty come from? This stupid loyalty, I've only seen it in Shadowguard......"

After speaking, I couldn't help but be silent for a moment, thinking that these words seemed to be easily misleading, and hurriedly explained, saying:

"Of course, I'm not saying that Shadowguard's loyalty is stupid......"

As soon as the words fell, I felt that I was trying to cover up this again, and the more I depicted it, the darker it became. I couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and I didn't know how to define this 'loyalty'.

For scholars, loyalty does not serve the two masters, which is the reputation and integrity of scholars, and it is also a way to be grateful for the royal grace.

However, the more troubled the times, the weaker this loyalty becomes, especially for the emerging nobles who have not been in the court for generations, and whose roots are still shallow.

Therefore, in the face of today's three-part world, chaotic times and disputes, it is not uncommon for traitors to go into exile to other countries as officials, but it is just for profit.

But whether it's the loyalty of Hai Mao or the Shadow Guard, it doesn't feel like the kind of loyalty between kings and ministers anymore......

"I understand what you mean. ”

Wan'er just said softly, and the anxiety in my heart was resolved.

"Then Wan'er, can you tell me, what is their 'loyalty'?"

I always feel that Wan'er can tell the difference.

Wan'er looked at me quietly for a moment, and then said:

"Chen, you became in the court, grew up in the court, so you know the relationship between the monarch and the minister very clearly, and you know how to distinguish it; ”

I was puzzled and asked:

"But Wan'er, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Is there any place in this world that is not the land of the king?"

"The whole world is the king's land, and that place is also included in the meantime, but it is different from the court. ”

I didn't seem to understand, and continued to ask:

"Where is that?"

"Heavy promise, light life and death. ”

Wan'er's words made me feel like an initiation, and my mouth suddenly opened.

In "The Biography of the Assassins", the rangers and assassins described in thick ink are such a person who is willing to pay for life and death for a promise he once made.

They are the heroic chivalrous men praised in the biographies, and they are also the people who violate the ban with force as mentioned in the Legalist Han Feizi's "Five Worms".

And the place that can accommodate such people is ......

"Wan'er, what are you talking about-Jianghu?!"

It turns out that the difference is actually here!

When I spat out the words 'Jianghu', Wan'er smiled and nodded at me appreciatively.

Once the mind shifts to this, some of Hai Mao's actions seem to have found some reasonable explanation.

So, have the forces of the rivers and lakes begun to get involved in the court?

What a terrible and dangerous sign this is!

Although I don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I clearly know the national conditions of various countries, among the three kingdoms of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi and the Southern Chen, the most deeply involved with the people in the rivers and lakes is the Nan Chen, and there is a gang of rivers and lakes, because of the support of the Emperor Chen and the south of the Yangtze River is bowed down, and the disciples of the sect are all over the north and south, and the prestige shakes the world, that is the Jiangnan is the only one - Mingxiu Fang!

I don't know much about this Mingxiufang, it seems that from now on, I need to pay more attention to the changes in the pattern of the rivers and lakes.

If this qiē is related to Mingxiufang, then ......

"Do you have the answer in mind?"

Wan'er saw that I was silent for a long time, and she must have thought about it, so she couldn't help but ask softly.

"Well, we must not let the forces of the rivers and lakes get involved in the court, otherwise the national politics will be in chaos, and the society will be uneasy!"

I said it categorically, and this statement determined the direction of my countermeasures for dealing with martial arts people in the future.

Regarding my sudden remarks, Wan'er did not show much fluctuation, as if it had been expected.

"Do you plan to fight against the entire Jianghu Martial Arts with the strength of one person?"

I smiled and waved my hand:

"I'm alone, it's a mantis arm as a car. If it is the power of a country, it is overwhelming and invincible!"

She didn't speak, still with the pleasant smile on her face, and then she left my embrace, and quietly leaned back on the beauty couch, her eyes past me, and out of the pavilion.

I followed Wan'er's gaze and just happened to see a person walking from the side of the corridor.

Isn't that guy Ah Zheng's kid?!

I smiled, then sat down next to Wan'er, and secretly reached out to hold her, the smile on the corner of my mouth getting thicker.

Wan'er didn't break free, smiled kindly, and went with me.

When Ah Zheng's boy walked into the pavilion, I saw him respectfully salute Wan'er and me, and said:

"Ah Zheng salutes the prince and the young lady!"

Hey, when did this kid change the title of 'Her Royal Highness the Princess' to 'Young Lady'?

Yes, good boy, he knows how to observe words and colors, this word and deed, he is more and more polite and courteous, and he has a degree of advance and retreat, yes, he really didn't teach him in vain!

"Okay, let's talk, what's the matter?"

At first glance, it's really a little uncomfortable for this kid to become so polite.

Ah Zheng immediately handed me a list and said:

"Son, the things you ordered have been arranged, this is the list of return gifts that you have personally delineated, and after confirming that it is correct, Ah Zheng will let the prepared gifts be sent to the mansions of the adults. ”

I nodded, opened the list in my hand, and looked at the names of these people above, the names on this were circled one by one from the list of officials I asked Ah Zheng to help write down the names and titles of the officials who gave the gifts.

"Well, yes, it's not rude. Ah Zheng, you tell those who give gifts that this gift must be personally handed over to the heads of the mansions of the major people, and cannot be conveyed or faked. After the return gift is delivered, let them wait there for the receipt to reply, and only after receiving the receipt can they go home. ”

"Understood, Childe. ”

I smiled, then closed the list and handed it to Ah Zheng.

"Then Ah Zheng will start to deal with this matter. ”

"Okay, after you get the receipt, come and report to me as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Childe!"

"Well, go ahead. ”

"Young lady, son-in-law, Ah Zheng has retired. ”

After saying that, Ah Zheng bowed to me and the princess again, and then withdrew.

"Are you really going to do that?"

After Ah Zheng walked away, Wan'er raised her eyebrows and stared at me with a strange expression.

"Well, it is imperative, if you want to strengthen the country, you must first legislate. It's time for some people to know what the Fa is!"

Seeing the firmness and confidence in my eyes, Wan'er slowly closed her eyes easily and happily, and when she opened her eyes, she muttered to herself, saying:

"Original...... I heard that it was set up for this......"

I leaned over and trapped Wan'er in my arms, and looked at her, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but provoke a smile.

Wan'er smiled evilly and said:

"Are you going to clean up the governor of the state town?"

I nodded and said bluntly:

"I'm going to, but I can't clean it up yet. We don't take the initiative to provoke others, but we can't let others bully them at will, so let's give them a little bit of color!"

When Wan'er heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth melted and became even sweeter and more moving.

"You're doing what Cui Tingyou wanted to do but couldn't do back then. ”

Wan'er let out this sigh, then retracted the smile, stretched out her hand and touched my face, with a hint of coldness in the temptation, and continued:

"My colt, you are playing with fire, aren't you afraid, will you repeat the mistakes of Cui Tingyou back then?"

When Cui Tingyou tried his best to implement the first decree implemented by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was strongly opposed by the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the governor of the state and town, and what I want to do is to complete the first decree he wants to implement that year!

"The situation is very different from the past. It is said that heroes create the times, but I think it is more that the times create heroes. I'm not a hero, I just know that I want to fulfill my promise to you, and I want to make the Northern Wei Dynasty truly rich and strong, and make the Northern Wei Dynasty strong enough to have enough strength to end this troubled era......!

Wan'er looked at me quietly and asked:

"By then, how?"

"Yi Yan added, and Zi Yizhi. It is advisable to drink alcohol and grow old with children. Qin Se is in the palace, and it is good to be quiet. By that time...... Let's let go of all our lives and live such a dull and happy life, okay?"

Wan'er looked quite moved when she heard this, laughed, and asked as if she was trying to do so, and said:

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will be reluctant to leave behind this high-ranking official and show off your honor. ”

I opened my mouth and smiled, and after thinking for a moment, said:

"I came alone, so why should I be afraid to go alone? Then would you like to give up the princess honor for me, put down those heavy burdens, and accompany me, a poor and stupid nerd, to retreat to the mountains and forests, and henceforth be free and free?"

Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly:

"Where are you stupid? My colt is smart. ”

The first time I heard Wan'er praise so bluntly, I couldn't help blushing, my heart moved, and I couldn't help but drop a kiss between her eyebrows.

Seeing her slightly shy demeanor, I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart, and said with a smile:

"Of course I'm smart, because I made a fortune and stole a princess, haha!"

Wan'er stretched out her hand and scratched the bridge of my nose, and replied in a playful tone, saying:

"Poor mouth, just praise you and get carried away?!"
