125: Responsibility and Mission
Rong Zhi didn't speak, pulled her, hugged her, buried his head in her waist, breathed a sigh of relief weakly, his face was full of exhaustion, and he closed his eyes slightly.
Lou Yueqing looked down and saw him looking tired and depressed, and a touch of distress and helplessness flashed between her eyes.
In the past six months, all kinds of things have emerged in an endless stream, first the riots in Shangrao in Ezhou, and then the war with Beili and Western Wei, followed by a civil strife, followed by a national funeral, and things happened one after another, every time things were a heavy blow to the Chu State that had finally become strong, and the national strength of Chu State had declined seriously, although it was not full of holes, but it was definitely not optimistic, Rong Zhi was already busy, and now he is even more exhausted.
The huge state of Chu is pressed on him, many things need to be rectified, there are a lot of missing officials in the DPRK and China, there are a lot of things, but there are not many ministers who can really be trusted, so many things need to be done by him himself, which makes him extremely stressed and busy every day.
In the past few days, she woke up in the middle of the night in the middle of the night and there was no one by the bed, tiptoeing out of the door, and saw him sitting behind the table with a solemn face dealing with official documents and government affairs, although she didn't want him to be like this, but there was no way, he was the regent of Chu State, and he was always responsible for the people of Chu State, she wanted to help him, but some time ago, she was alone and made him feel distressed and guilty, and now he didn't want her to get involved again.
He grunted, showing weakness: "I really want to take you out of here without anything......"
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she was sad.
She didn't say anything, just stood there and let him hold her, her hand on the back of his head, and after a while, she whispered: "Okay, hurry up and eat, otherwise it will be bad if it's cold!"
If the lunch is cold, it is not tight, the main thing is that the medicinal food should be hot, and if it is delayed, it will be useless if it is cold.
When Rong Zhi heard this, he let go of her and began to eat.
After he finished eating, she cleaned it up, and then picked up the fold on the table to see, just in time to get Qin Xiang's book, the book of recommending officials, she picked up another book, which was also Qin Xiang's book, four or five books in a row.
raised her eyebrows, then she smiled lightly, and said softly disapprovingly: "It's no wonder Qin Xiang, after all, he always has to plan for his daughter and nephew, so why should you bother with him?
Rong Zhi's brows tightened, and he was very annoyed: "Lone just can't figure out when he started to be such a villain in his eyes!"
Qin Xiang has always been a person who stands on the same position as him, in the early days of his reign, Qin Xiang's support helped him a lot, he has always respected Qin Xiang very much, he thought that Qin Xiang should have a certain understanding of him, but now, Qin Xiang's actions are all to prevent him, what to prevent? Just to prevent him from one day will attack the little emperor to regain the throne.
This was what he was most angry about.
Lou Yueqing smiled faintly: "He doesn't treat you as a villain, he just has selfish intentions!"
Rong Zhi looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
Lou Yueqing said with a light smile while cleaning up a pile of folds on the table: " You must know that he used to be loyal to you because that was his only choice, and he was your father's henchman, and he assisted you in accordance with your father's will, plus the reason for his daughter Empress Dowager Qin, he naturally tried his best to assist you, but now it is different, the Empress Dowager is his daughter, and the little emperor is his nephew, he is bound to do his best to protect them for a lifetime, and he also knows about the grievances between you and Rong Yan, if you can't tolerate their mother and son to take back the throne, what to do, after all, this position should be yours from the beginning, he naturally can't continue to rely on you, but find a way to consolidate his power, and it is best to be able to compete with you one day or two, the person who installed himself is only the beginning!"
Rong Zhi is indeed a resolute ruler, but he is not a qualified politician, and he does not know how to play with power to figure out people's hearts, he will only deal with things according to his own judgment, in his opinion, there is only right and wrong in government decision-making, and courtiers are only loyal and disloyal, he disdains to buy people's hearts, disdain to play with power, so he does not figure out people's hearts, therefore, what Qin Xiang did is incomprehensible in his eyes, and he doesn't understand why like-minded and loyal people who originally stood on the same position with him suddenly guarded him like this.
But today's Qin Xiang is no longer in the same position as him, he may not have thought about abolishing the little emperor and regaining the throne, but others don't think so, especially Qin Xiang, who knows everything and stands in that position.
Rong Zhi frowned and sneered: "It's unfounded!"
If he really had this idea, there would have been no room for it, he didn't have the idea of ascending the throne before, and he wouldn't have it later, he still thinks that Chu Guo is a burden, so he can't leave with worry free now!
Lou Yueqing was noncommittal: "It's true that they are worried about the sky, but you must know that imperial power is a good thing, unless you directly put down your power now and really don't want anything, otherwise as long as you reign for a day, in their eyes, your existence is the biggest threat to the throne, and it is impossible for them not to be afraid!"
Rong Zhi's words can decide the life and death of the emperor and the queen mother, in this way, the change of ownership is just a matter of his thoughts, how can Qin Xiang not be afraid?
Now it's not the past, he used to be loyal to Rong Zhi, and the Qin family could be safe, but now he wants to protect his daughter and grandson, and he already has a better way out, loyal to Rong Zhi, he is just a loyal minister, to be a loyal minister, it is better to be a high-powered father-in-law, assist an emperor with the blood of the Qin family, and let the Qin family go to the next level!
When Rong Zhi heard this, he thought about it seriously, and groaned with a smile: "Hmm...... That's a great idea!"
Lou Yueqing was analyzing things with him, but she was a little puzzled by his inexplicable words, and frowned: "What a good idea?"
Rong Zhi smiled: "Leave this place for them to toss and take you to the end of the world!"
"Go, go!" Lou Yueqing glanced at her angrily and pouted: "Be serious with you, give me a serious face!"
Rong Zhi smiled, and said with a solemn face: "Lonely is serious!"
Lou Yueqing was stunned.
Rong Zhi Zhengse said: "Anyway, loneliness has long been not rare here, I have always wanted to take you out for a walk and find a quiet place to live in seclusion, but I have never had a chance, and now I just have the opportunity to ......"
Lou Yueqing looked at her nose and nose, and she didn't bother to listen to him say that it was useless, and continued to clean up the mess on the table.
Seeing her disapproving, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was immediately unhappy: "What is your expression?"
Lou Yueqing complained angrily: "If you want to lose the country, I don't want to be the concubine of the country!"
His Royal Highness the Regent: "......"
Sighing, he said helplessly: "Don't worry, I'm serious!"
Lou Yueqing looked at him and raised her eyebrows.
Rong Zhi looked at her seriously, spoke slowly, and said in a gentle tone: "I know you don't like here, you don't like this kind of place of intrigue and calculation, I thought before that I would take you away when the Chu State stabilized and find a place you like to live, but now ......"
Now not only did it not develop in the direction he wanted, but so many things happened that disrupted his plans.
If there weren't so many things during this time, even if Rong Yan died and the little emperor ascended the throne, he would definitely be able to stabilize the court if he let King Shen and Lou Yichen and others assist him, but now that so many things have happened, if he is not there, the state of Chu will be in chaos.
He knew that she didn't like these places, they were too dark and treacherous, full of calculations and intrigues, and she was in this position, and many things could not be avoided.
In the past, he didn't care, he didn't care about it anyway, and he didn't have any scruples about doing anything, but now, he didn't want her to accompany him to bear these things.
"Rong Zhi!" she suddenly spoke, her eyes serious.
Rong Zhi looked at her and waited for the following.
"As long as you are here, I like it everywhere, there are you here, and there are so many relatives, I am very happy and happy to live here, so you don't have to feel sorry for me!"
Rong Zhi was stunned, and his heart softened.
She added: "Moreover, we are not ordinary people, born in the royal family, some responsibilities cannot be avoided, and some things are destined for us to face, you are the regent of Chu State, and you are responsible for the thousands of people of Chu State, just like me...... If Liguo needs me one day, I won't and can't run away, so you don't have to worry about me, as long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere!"
To tell the truth, in fact, they are not qualified to live for themselves, not only because of the responsibilities they carry, but also because of their own conscience, they can't do it and can't do it for their own happiness.
They are born to be different from ordinary people, because they are all endowed with responsibilities and missions, and the more they have, the more they carry.
Hearing this, Rong Zhi pursed his lips slightly, just held her hand tightly and said nothing.
