Zhuang Shuqing held the cup with both hands behind him, and lowered his eyebrows, "I was a little disappointed before, and I couldn't understand why you couldn't see the problem for a long time, but today I finally got the hang of it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zhou Zhixiao was suddenly ashamed and embarrassed.

"Jiang Hai, you take everyone out, to the left, you stay outside, no one is allowed to approach."

"Yes."

Zhou Zhixiao was a little uneasy, but he was a member of the royal family, and he had the pride of being a prince in his nature, not to mention that the person in front of him had always been kind to him, and he had trust in her that he couldn't even match his father.

"The emperor wants to pass on the throne to Zhigu, but even if Zhigu can't be thrown away for a while, he won't be bound here for a long time, so the emperor allowed him and me to choose one of the royal family to inherit."

Zhou Zhixiao's hand trembled, Sister Zhuang took him every day before, he didn't fantasize like this, but it was just a fantasy in his head, once it came true, it was extremely unreal.

"The emperor is not optimistic about you, saying that you are soft, too much like him, worried that you will end up in the same situation as him in the future, I don't see it that way, I think you just have no conditions to fight, not without ambition, I even think that you are so studious, just to give yourself more confidence, looking forward to one day a blockbuster."

"Therefore, you can steal the emperor under the nose of the Fifth Highness, you already have it, you are poor, just confident, you don't believe in yourself, just like you don't believe in him even if you get the emperor's other eyes, you are the emperor's bloodline, you are like him, but as long as you are given an example, you may not be able to learn. So I never avoided you in my deliberations with the courtiers, and asked you every day what you think, and it is only today that I hear what I want to hear. ”

"It is human nature to bully the soft and fear the hard, and the courtiers are afraid of the emperor, but they will pinch the emperor, because the emperor is soft and easy to bully, they know very well that if they use the same set of care for the emperor. He will not give them good fruit to eat. So they avoided the limelight, they didn't know that they went to the Western Regions, they just thought that I had him behind me, so they were just as honest with me. Don't dare to treat me like the emperor. In terms of identity. The emperor should be the most feared by them, why? ”

"Because the emperor is kind-hearted, especially treats old ministers. He always saved a kind treatment, did the emperor do something wrong? No, he's right, it's just that people are too greedy, and over time, they take this kindness for granted, no one is blind, as long as there is a precedent for some things, they don't want to turn back to the right path in the future, and the last one to be trapped is the emperor. ”

The conversation finally paused, Zhuang Shuqing took a sip of tea, and looked at Zhou Zhixiao, who was thoughtful and abrupt, "What if at the beginning, the emperor is as strong as Zhigu?" What if that privilege is only available to a very small number of people? How could a son dare to rebel against him, or even ask for his life! The emperor should be benevolent, but this benevolence should be more for the people, so that the people can benefit, not the courtiers, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, holding the Yulu, enjoying all kinds of benefits brought by their status, but they still want to get more, but they don't do their part well, what does Zhou Guo want such an official for? Disgusting yourself? He won't, and neither will another person? ”

"The ancients said that if the water is clear, there is no fish, there is nothing wrong with this, but the premise is that he must do his part well, he is a capable official, and such an official can be used even if he is greedy and a little selfish."

Zhou Zhixiao was already able to keep up with her thoughts, "So I know that Zhang Hai, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is not clean, and I still have to transfer him to the Resources Department for the sake of balance, and the Ministry of War is small, so I have to continue to use him." ”

"That's the reason, it seems that I have been doing a lot of homework these days." Zhuang Shuqing finally stopped being so serious, "Officials have to see how to use it, he is not suitable in this position, it may not be appropriate to change positions, although Zhu Xindong has no energy, but he has been in that position for many years, and the officials of the Ministry of War can listen to his dispatch, and there has been no major mistake in the affairs of the Ministry of War, which shows that he is not without the slightest ability, and he can continue to use it if he has a long memory, as well as my third uncle Dong Mingyang." ”

Zhou Zhixiao hurriedly shook his hand, "Sister Zhuang, I know you have no selfish intentions......"

"No, I'm selfish." Zhuang Shuqing smiled, "Everyone has selfish intentions, as long as it is not excessive, it is nothing to fulfill, but I mentioned him to you, not to explain this to you." ”

"Yes." Zhou Zhixiao listened more seriously.

"With me in front, coupled with the third uncle's escort at that time, it is impossible for the Dong family to remain silent, whether it is to please me, or to please the emperor, he can't keep throwing it in that idle position, it is more likely that he will become a touchstone, by lifting him or belittling him to test my reaction, the emperor's reaction, so before that, I used him first, and it is a very important position, blatantly tell them, no matter whether they are close or close, as long as they have the ability, I dare to use anyone, on the other hand, As soon as this matter is finalized, against me, and against the people of the Dong family, they can only accept their thoughts, and put an end to many troubles that are very likely to occur, which is also a balance, and you can also see the consequences, my third uncle has done a good job, and others can't find anything out of him. ”

"I use the third uncle as an example, that is, to tell you not to be indecisive in anything, when you decide, you will decide, the more you drag, the more you give people the opportunity to make a bad mistake, this is a big taboo, and the emperor will be defeated at this point."

Zhuang Shuqing said it happily, but Zhou Zhixiao didn't know how to answer, he couldn't follow her to say where his father didn't do a good job, he didn't have the courage to criticize his father like her!

But when I heard Sister Zhuang say it, I was so happy!

"The Department of Resources is very important, it is still in its infancy, and when the time is right, it can be divided into a department, rather than hanging in the Ministry of Officials, just like the Ministry of Household is in charge of the world's money and grain, the Department of Resources controls all the talents in the world, and human resources are the foundation of a country, which is more important than any of the other six departments, as long as there are talents, even if there is nothing, it can become there."

"I made a note of it."

Zhuang Shuqing held the pot to add tea to him, and his tone was lighter, "I said too much and was too scattered, and I don't know how much you understood, I just wanted to talk to you about the need to be strong, and sitting in that position must let them follow your ideas, instead of being led by their noses, just like ......"

I almost compared the emperor again, Zhuang Shuqing smiled and shook his head, that is really not a good example, "You should be careful, tell the emperor with facts that I didn't pick the wrong person." ”

Zhou Zhixiao nodded vigorously, nodded again, and calmly placed his hands clenched into fists on the table, revealing the deformity of his right hand.

Zhuang Shuqing went up and touched it, and gave him a pulse, "My two assistants are already on the way, and when they arrive, I will operate on you, and by then, you will be the same as everyone else." ”

Zhou Zhixiao looked down at his hands, he remembered a lot of things.

When he was very young, he remembered those things, because of him, his mother lost the favor of his father, so his mother didn't like him at first, beat him, scolded him, pinched him, and had it.

Later, I probably thought about it, and the mother was kind to him, but the bad things in the past have been hidden in the depths of my memory.

In this world, there are only two ...... No, the three of them looked at his hands with ordinary eyes, one was An He, and the other two were Brother Bai and Sister Zhuang.

He will remember them for the rest of his life.

"My grandmother handed me a sign yesterday and wanted to enter the palace to see me, but the queen mother asked me what I meant, and I refused."

Zhuang Shuqing went through the situation of Concubine Mei's mother's family in her mind, and it was indeed a prominent family.

"What do you think?"

Zhou Zhixiao raised his face, unfazed, "I was only nine years old when my mother passed away, and I was hoping that they would come to see me, the six-year waiting period is too long, and no matter how big the expectations are, they will be exhausted." ”

Nine-year-old, Zhuang Shuqing imagined that the little boy who didn't dare to show his right hand was staying up day by day in the deep palace, and his heart was so sour.

"It's not that you can't see it, but if you can be ruthless, it's better not to see it, if you can sit in that position by yourself without relying on the strength of your relatives, they won't want to restrain you in the future, even if they want to get benefits from you, it depends on whether you are willing to give it, not to threaten with kindness."

"I don't see it."

"Okay, then I won't see you." After looking at it, Zhuang Shuqing patted his hand, "That's it here today, think about what I said, I'm waiting for you to grow into what I want to see, don't worry, we still have time." ”

The afterglow of the sunset shone obliquely from outside the door, and at dusk, Zhuang Shuqing walked over and stood in the sunset, adding warmth to his body.

I don't know where Zhi Gu has been at this time, isn't it...... Also bathed in the sunset, his body should be fine.

Coming in to the left, I wanted to remind her that it was time to leave the palace, but I swallowed the words that came to my mouth when I saw her stunned look.

"To the left, if your son-in-law doesn't come back soon, I'm really worried that I will teach the Sixth Highness badly because of my hurry."

Xiang Zuo was guarding the door just now, and those words naturally came into his ears, "Even if the son is here, he can't teach His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness these things with his quiet temperament, and he still has to rely on Miss Zhuang." ”

"But he's here, and I'm at peace." Zhuang Shuqing lowered her head to cover her feverish eyes, she didn't know anything about the remarks outside, everyone said that she was very capable, but who knew the panic in her heart.

She was just an ordinary person, but she was pushed forward step by step like a duck on the shelf, holding the power of life and death, stabilizing a country, and even the war ahead needed her to schedule, and the next emperor was now led and taught by her.

The ease that falls in the eyes of others, in fact, she has done her best.

If everything is good, she will not suffer all these hardships in vain.

But what if things don't go as planned? If Zhou Guo loses again, if she teaches a white-eyed wolf, if the officials in Kyoto secretly make her bad, if there is another rebellion, if you ......

Zhuang Shuqing closed her eyes, she knew that things might not be bad to that extent, but when she was alone, such worries were never less.

Stop, come back quickly. (To be continued.) )

ps: I'm sick, my nose is stuffy and runny, I can't sneeze out, and I'm uncomfortable.
