Half an hour later, a brocade guard sent the letter to Wang Xiao.

"Your Highness saw He Liangyuan...... Ha, interesting. ”

Thinking so in his heart, Wang Xiao stood up and said to Chunning, "I'll go out." ”

He went out, didn't take a car, and walked all the way to Tang Qianqian's residence.

Tang Qianqian had only come back for a short time, so she took off her men's clothes, changed into light clothes, picked up the letter and newspaper that Huazhi collected today and looked at it, and when she saw Wang Xiao coming in, she raised her head and smiled, and said, "Are you willing to leave your little lady behind today?" ”

"There's nothing to be reluctant to give." Wang Xiao said casually, sat down on her couch, and said, "Actually, I'm not very familiar with her. ”

"I'm not familiar with you, and you still take advantage of others." Tang Qianqian said.

This sentence is quite inexplicable, and Wang smiled: "Use each other." ”

"She needs me to help maintain Zhou Yan. I need the name of Zhou Yan to control people's hearts. She's a great partner to work with......"

"Better than me?"

"You're different, you've mixed your feelings."

Wang Xiao tilted his head slightly, and muttered: "There are some things that I didn't want to tell you too clearly before, and I don't want to plan too far. But today I want to make it clear to you. ”

"Huh?"

"I want the world to be better." The king smiled: "It's not that I have the ambition to help the people in the world, or I think of myself as some kind of mother and son, but I live in this world, and now this troubled world is too hard, so I want to end this troubled world." ”

Tang Qianqian sat down beside him and leaned her head slightly.

"A lot of people want to."

Wang smiled: "I told you before, if your Rui Dynasty can resist the Qing army entering the customs, I may surrender to the past." I'm not lying to you...... But I know you can't stop it. Actually, I only believe in myself. ”

"Huh?"

"I hid this matter very deeply, and today your master revealed it. Truth be told, I only believe in myself. As for me, I also want to be humble and low-key. But I also feel in my heart that people in the world are mung beans, and I am a soybean. It's not that my talent is much higher than others, but that no matter who changes this troubled world, it won't be what I hope it will be. Only I can do it......"

Wang smiled bitterly and said, "It's arrogant, isn't it? Therefore, I never dared to speak up, tried my best to disguise myself, and put on a protective appearance of guarding the Chu room, and when I told you, I was also righteous and awe-inspiring. ”

"But in fact, I assisted Zhou Yan because he was young and easy to control. I refused to surrender to the Rui Dynasty because I knew that Tang Zhongyuan would limit my power. ”

"What am I going to do? How to do it. Actually, I know it very clearly. The construction of brocade clothes and guards and the copying of honors are for money and food; Going to Liaodong? For fame and the army; The abandonment of the capital was to allow the Rui Dynasty to clash with the Qing Dynasty; Guarding in Shandong? Control the Jiaodong Peninsula? and then sent troops from Phi Dao to invade in order to suppress the strong and help the weak; Don't go to Jiangnan because the family is leaning there? It's not like Shandong can make me drastic......"

"I occupy the seaside and co-opt pirates? acquisition of artillery; Welcoming the royal family of the Chu Dynasty? Command the Quartet. These were planned by my two brothers from the beginning. When they started the plan, I said, 'I don't have the heart of a king,' which is both sincere and hypocritical. I don't want to be an emperor? But in my heart, I actually feel arrogant...... Only I can construct the direction of history that I want. ”

"How arrogant? So I never dared to open my mouth to say it to anyone, and if I did, most of them would turn their backs on me. But your master is right, I am self-deceiving, humble on the surface? Actually, it's ...... A soybean. ”

Tang Qianqian was a little unsure of how to speak.

"Of course, maybe many people also know? Dong Jihe and Xia Xiangwei are not fools. It's good to just hide things under this surface, and have fun? If you uncover it, it will inevitably be very troublesome. ”

"I told Zhou Yan tonight that I want to let go? At that moment, my heart was really relaxed? There will always be times like this? Occasionally, I waver, thinking about surrendering or running away. But on the other hand, I know that he can't do without me, and I won't give up the land of Jiaodong, this place is very important in my next planning. ”

"You see, how hypocritical I was, I thought over and over again, 'It's good to go overseas and not fight,' but I'm all right...... This time, it was not only Meng Jiu who was helping the weak and suppressing the strong, but also making a choice between us and Nanjing. It is also me who is helping the weak and suppressing the strong, and supporting the Rui Dynasty to suppress the more powerful Qing Dynasty. ”

"You know what I'm more hypocritical about? I feel that one day I may hurt Zhou Yan, although I don't want to be an emperor, not at all. But I want to carry through my ideas, and I can't guarantee that I won't hurt him. So I don't dare to touch Chunning, sometimes I say to myself, it's because of you, it's just an excuse, and sometimes I even lie to myself. ”

"These are hidden in the deepest part of my heart, and even I usually think I am a good person. Tonight, Meng Jiu almost saw through me...... Ha, actually, I was a little scared. ”

Wang Xiao raised his head and looked out the window, and said slowly: "Revealing all this really makes it difficult for me to face myself." ”

Tang Qianqian was speechless for a long time.

These are actually completely different from the future plans for the two of them in her heart.

She suddenly preferred that Wang Xiao didn't tell her anything.

Wang Xiao said slowly: "Actually, I don't say it, you can guess it...... You just don't want to guess. You have worked hard to resist the captives, hoping that one day we will live in peace and stability under the rule of the Rui Dynasty. As for me, I know that the Rui Dynasty will be defeated, and I want to wait for you to stay with me when the time comes. ”

"But Meng Jiu understands it. He killed his father, but he didn't allow me to integrate Jiangnan. After meeting him today, I thought that instead of asking him to tell you someday, I would tell you first. ”

Tang Qianqian looked up at Wang Xiao, and his side face loomed in the candlelight.

She whispered, "I know, I don't think I know you very well all along...... But you're telling me this, what do you want me to do? ”

"Stay by my side, don't think about Rui Chao Chu Dynasty, just stay by my side, is it okay?"

Tang Qianqian thought for a while, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Xiaolang and I are the same kind of people." She sighed lightly: "Tang Zhongyuan is my biological father. My mother's family is from the Huguang clan, and he killed my mother's family and robbed my mother. Later, when the battle was lost, he left her behind...... Later, I met Master and took me to Tang Zhongyuan, but I didn't want to recognize him. But for what reason did you recognize him as your father? ”

"He will treat me very well occasionally, and I sometimes lie to myself that I was influenced by him, so I came out to do things for the rebels. But in fact, I also like power, and I want the world to be the way I want it to be. ”

She looked at Wang Xiao and blinked, and said, "When you were going to marry the princess of the Chu Dynasty, I knew that we were the same kind of people." ”

"Xiaolang has his own ambitions, and although I was born as a woman, I also have my own ambitions...... It's not that I'm loyal to Tang Zhongyuan, or I want to do my filial piety for my father. It's twelve years, and I've been really desperate. Trying to change the rebel army, trying to change the world, I have watched the rebel army get better little by little, watching them no longer only kill, burn and loot, watching them learn to appease the people, have a name, have a goal, these are also my hard work. I've done so much so hard, though it may not be worth mentioning later than you've accomplished. But if you leave them behind and only go to Xiaolang, I won't be me. ”

"So, you have your own things to do, and I have things I want to do, so I might as well see who can do it at the end. If you are cornered one day, I will be your way out...... Of course, those are all things to talk about later, at least for now, the alliance between the two dynasties. All of this is still in my expectation. ”

The two fell silent.

Compared with Chunning, Tang Qianqian can make Wang Xiao feel at ease.

He uncovered the deepest part of his heart and buried it again. It's as if I've forgotten about it.

For a while, Tang Qianqian leaned on Wang Xiao's shoulder as if asleep.

But she closed her eyes, but slowly talked about the information she heard from Chen Yuanyuan.

"There are two groups of Jiannu in Jinan City......"

"Check it slowly. It has been less than half a month since my father entered Jinan, and most of the time I was still in Texas. It's normal for you to not be able to fully control Jinan for a while, and you can go back and screen it out. ”

Tang Qianqian thought for a while and asked, "Yuanyuan, she treats Zhou Zhang like that, are you worried that I am also lying to you?" ”

"I don't know how Chen Yuanyuan and his father get along."

"Master did it in advance this time, precisely because he had scruples about you. You're in the limelight, and all sides are staring at you. Tang Qianqian said, "Are you angry with your master?" ”

"It's angry when you say it's angry, and it's not angry when you say it's not angry. That's his position, he's an enemy of his father, not my friend or subordinate. Wang smiled: "Looking back, I can't protect my father at all." Before I entered the court, Meng Jiu arranged for Chen Yuanyuan to enter the palace, and she didn't do anything after that. The problem is that she doesn't do anything, she has too many opportunities to kill her father, in the capital, on the way to escape, in Laizhou, in Jinan, whenever she wants to do it, her father will die. But she didn't do anything, so I ignored her. After the battle of Zhangqiu, I thought about it for a moment, but ...... In the end, thinking that his father was quite pitiful, he couldn't bear to transfer her away from him. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiao said again: "Someone has reminded me that I am too popular. But I can't help it, I don't have time to keep me in the dark. It's good to be put on a show this time, so that it won't be used as a target again. Zheng Yuanhua, Meng Jiu and others have been arranging for more than ten years, and I have been in the office for less than two years, so I can't expect to take the lead in everything.

Fighting for the world, can you still hope that the other party will never make a move, and I can develop smoothly and smoothly? You see that Liu Bei was repeatedly frustrated back then. No one else in the world is stupid. Zheng Yuanhua and Meng Jiutie are determined to kill their father, and they will always come. It's like a group of people fighting, my martial arts are the lowest, if I still hope that I won't be beaten at all, I will beat others up. Don't argue about that, just lie down and daydream. ”

"But your situation is still very dangerous, the four towns of Jiangbei are likely to have sent troops, even if I Da Rui does not send troops, it will be difficult for you to deal with it."

"This is very excessive, you Ruichao will not help me beat them."

Tang Qianqian said: "My father-in-law and master are more afraid of you than Zheng Yuanhua. ”

"Hmm......" Wang Xiao nodded, thoughtful.
