After Qin Wan conveyed Concubine Bai Defei's last wish to the sage, the sage was silent for a long time before he said a little tiredly: "I thought she wanted to go back to Jiangnan." ”

After that, he sighed softly, Kuang Min knew that the sage was tired and wanted to stay alone for a while, so he immediately stepped forward and made a "please" action.

Qin Wan nodded and left slowly, but he kept thinking about it in his heart. After returning to the East Palace and greeting his mother's body, Qin Wan, who was sure that this matter was not unspeakable, naturally told his mother: "You say, why is this happening?" ”

Shen Man saw that his daughter, who had always been capable, showed a little doubt, stroked Qin Wan's sideburns, and asked softly: "They are just cousins, and they are not the same person, so their personalities will naturally be different, and it is normal to choose different ones." ”

"But-" Qin Wan still couldn't figure it out, her intuition told her that if she figured out this matter, it would play a big role in her life, so she asked, "Why is the diametrically opposite attitude a completely different ending?" ”

Isn't the abolished prince good enough for Princess Quang Ninh? For her sake, his wife and children were gone, and he was bent on fighting with his only brother, and almost forced the saint to a dead end. If it weren't forbearing, Emperor Taizong would not give up the eldest son who was cultivated wholeheartedly, and he would abolish the crown prince at the risk of shaking the country.

On the contrary, compared with the deep affection and friendship of the abolished prince to Princess Quang Ninh, the sage can be called cold to Concubine Bai De, and to put it mildly, it is completely to lock the other party in a beautiful cage, give him brocade clothes and food, and a noble status. But apart from these two, there is nothing, and even normal interaction with people is subject to certain restrictions.

Not only that, but the saint never went to see her.

If there are only saints in Bai Defei's world, in such a deformed environment, it is understandable to fall in love with him, but no. Why is Concubine Bai De still willing to accompany the saint to die together, just for the ethereal Huangquan to meet again? Even if she meets, she is still a "concubine", not a "queen"!

Shen Man, a person who manages his marriage with his heart and just wants to live a good life, has no way to understand the so-called "love". In other words, if she really loved Qin Ke, she wouldn't have been able to get to where she is today. Similarly, Qin Wan doesn't know "love", for her, surviving and climbing higher than others is much more important than the so-called love. Because of this, if "love" is used to explain Bai Defei's behavior, neither of them will believe it themselves. Therefore, Shen Man thought for a long time before he whispered: "The heart of the abolished prince for the saint has long been there, and Princess Guangning Xu is just infamous." She is a princess anyway, she is arrogant, the country is ruined, and she has become a concubine, how can she not hate? No matter how good the abolished prince is to her, he just treats her as a favorite concubine and a plaything. When Concubine Bai De was young, she devoted herself to raising Princess Pingyang, and after Princess Pingyang got married, she devoted herself to cultivation. She doesn't have contact with the concubines, and she lives a life like water, which is not much different from when she was not out of the cabinet? ”

Shen Man's explanation was reasonable, and Qin Wan naturally thought of more.

After all, there are only a few people who really have the courage to return to the country, and for those who have lost the country, stability is the first, and if they are not stable, they are not classified as inferior, then it is the best.

If Concubine Bai Defei doesn't have contact with people, she won't be able to experience the gap in identity, and her heart won't be so uncomfortable. Unlike Princess Guangning, although she is the prince's favorite concubine, she has to serve the enemy who destroyed her own country, and she has to force a smile in front of the prince, facing the ridicule of others, the dissatisfaction in the palace and the gossip of the outside world, and even blame her for the prince's bad brainlessness, but also straighten her spine and resist with weak shoulders. In such a situation, anyone who is a normal person is not getting more and more crazy, dragging everyone to the funeral together; is becoming more and more melancholy, and he is worried about himself to death, and there is almost no third possibility.

Qin Wan believes that the abolished prince has feelings for Princess Guangning, even if he is just infatuated with the other party's beauty, but he is infatuated with this kind of Cheng dù, which is also a kind of feeling, but he used the wrong way to express his feelings - for concubines, it is naturally not wrong to give favor, the more favored they are, the more stable their status is, and no one dares to mess around. But Princess Quang Ninh has a special identity, and she needs not only love, but also respect.

Many times, it's not that if you give the other person what you think is good, the other person will feel satisfied. For example, the waste prince is undoubtedly a typical example of a horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg. Even if he came according to the "normal route", he didn't notice the identity and temperament of Princess Guangning, treated her as an ordinary concubine, and even asked her to carry the black pot for herself, what was the result...... The whole world knows.

It seems that we still have to vigorously develop the spy business! At least find out the past experience of the person you use, what the personality is like, what you will do when you encounter things, and what you probably need, instead of taking gifts for granted, you think you can win people's hearts, Qin Wan thought so.

Even if they are all civil servants who want to be motivated, they also value power more, and those who value fame and fortune more. If the way of promotion is not right, those who want to be promoted will let him repair books, and those who want to favor his family will only be rewarded with wealth. Admittedly, these people will still obey you, but there is absolutely no such heartfelt gratitude.

If it is said that before this, Qin Wan was still a little awkward about the existence of Lijingmen, after all, the blood shadow with the same nature as Lijingmen was made into an evil organization by King Wei that integrated spying, assassination, and annihilation. Qin Wan is very disdainful of the fact that there is no way to exterminate you by such legitimate means, so we directly destroy Miè, and we don't have much intention of reusing Lijingmen. Even though she knew that Lijingmen had a lot of resources, she still preferred to believe in Evergreen.

It wasn't until today that Qin Wan corrected his opinion.

No organization is inherently dark, it all depends on whether the path is right or not. Even if it is an organization like Blood Shadow that specializes in assassination, if it is put in Qin Wan's hands, it can become an intelligence collection station. The knife is always the same knife, it's all up to you how you use it. For this kind of thing where she decides the path, how ridiculous is it to reject such a big force as Lijingmen?

Although the imperial history has the duty of supervising officials, they are people who walk in the sun, and if they are people, they have selfishness and weakness, especially those who are in the court, in order to sit firmly in their positions and climb up, it is easy to collude with the object of investigation. This is also the reason why the hundred officials are afraid of Lijingmen, how can there be scary spies in the dark for the supervision in the open?

Lijing Gate...... In the future, Lijingmen will mainly investigate the life experiences of hundreds of officials, and by the way, keep an eye on their ordinary behavior, as well as whether there are any changes in various places and places. For example, large-scale famines, droughts, and the like, if officials hide them for the sake of political achievements, people in Jiuju will not know about it at all.

Qin Wan made up her mind, and her heart was a little more relaxed, she thought about it, and ordered someone to call Chen Xuan and Chang Qing to come.

Evergreen was born honest, and his face is not at all like his ruthless and decisive nature, and his armor is on his body, but it gives people a very calm and down-to-earth feeling.

Qin Wan couldn't help but smile when he saw that his body was refreshed: "Speaking of which, you should also have a word that is convenient to call." The sage specially inquired about you, and after hearing what you did in Hongnong, he praised you greatly, and I said that you will become the minister of Great Xia, and the sage also felt right. Since the saints think it's right, it can be seen that it's right, I'll be lazy and call you Xia Chen, how about it? ”

Originally, I didn't think that since stepping into the secret guard, what Chang Qing wanted to do most was to get rid of this identity and be an upright person. "Minister" is not something that anyone can call himself, it should be said that those who are qualified to be ministers in front of the emperor can be called "scholars", and their status is much higher than that of the grass people. Therefore, Chang Qing saluted very excitedly, Qin Wan accepted it with a smile, and then asked: "Your subordinates have also abandoned the secret and turned to the light, I am not stingy to give them a good future, I don't know if they want to be rich, or go to the border to serve, go to Beiya to join the army, or find a way to be a petty official or a minister?" To tell you the truth, there is a fixed number of guards in the sixteen guards of the Nanfu, and it is not better to place you than the palace, and seek the position of a few more guards...... If they are accustomed to this free and easy life, they will be handed over to Zishen. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Wan glanced at Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan also patted his chest and promised: "Lijing people have always been well-treated, and their families can also be taken care of." ”

The "guards" are not talking about it, they are all real and high-grade, leading the country, and I don't know how many people break their heads in order to compete for places. rashly inserting dozens of people into it is not a favor, but a revenge. Qin Wan also knew that Chang Qing was a chief, and with the identity of a secret guard, others didn't dare to do anything to him, at most they stayed away. Changqing's subordinates can't reach the sky in one step, and even if they enter Nanfu, it will be difficult for them to integrate into the guards, so she has to make it clear first. In case the evergreen word is in charge, holding me to eat meat, and the brothers will also drink soup with me, it will be bad.

This is also what Qin Wan just learned, and sometimes it is not possible to completely satisfy the other party by carrying one person. For a person who stresses righteousness, it is better to give him a high-ranking official than to give him a lower official position, but to properly arrange all the people he values.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Wan said this, Chang Qing was also very relieved, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xie, I, no, the minister will go and ask them." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, you won't forget them." Qin Wan said with a smile, "There is one more thing, Mr. Yu is talented, and you also know it." I have appointed Mr. Yu as a member of the household department to complete this matter in cooperation with Lord Wei. "If it is done well, there is no doubt that Yuchi has the best to take over Wei Tuo's class.

Changqing has killed countless people, and the only bitter master who really came to the door is Yu Chi, his feelings for Yu Chi are very complicated, both respectful and a little alienated, and Yu Chi is the same for him. So Chang Qing was stunned for a moment before he said: "In the past, each was its own master, and I don't have much to say, as long as Mr. Yu doesn't want to put me to death, I will leave some leeway." ”
