"As the saying goes, sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The practice of this dynasty, the prince is not allowed to interfere in politics unless the prince, this king has violated the law several times, although there is a father's permission, it can cause great criticism among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes. Now there is a father emperor who is in the middle of the spring and autumn period, and there is a prince and prince, and this king blindly runs for the people, but it has become an alternative. ”

"After all, this king is just a vassal king, and he is even a vassal king who is ranked by his brothers. If you kid can't do it well, you can only be a member of the staff of a vassal king in the end, and you can't even mix up with a seven-rank sesame official. If you abandon your family and stand with this king, you have to think about it carefully, this king doesn't want to miss your life. ”

After saying this, Huang Qiong looked at the rebel camp outside the city and lost his mind. Just returned to this era and learned that he was actually reborn in the emperor's house, his first idea was not to walk under the gun for half a life like the previous life, in exchange for a well-off life. You can sit and enjoy the glory and wealth, and eat at home and wait for death.

Anyway, at the beginning, he really didn't think about competing for the throne. For him, with great power comes great responsibility. Huang Qiong, who worked hard for half her life, but died under the calculation of her beloved woman, originally just wanted to be a rice worm and live this life without stopping. As a prince, it is definitely no problem to be at least a rich idler.

But this mentality, with the change of the environment after leaving the palace, I don't know when the slightest change began. Did it start with the family banquet in Yongwang's Mansion, or did it start when I saw the miserable life of the homeless? Or did it start with your own assassination? This point, but Huang Qiong is also a little unclear?

Although I don't know, when my heart will start to change. But there is one thing he knows clearly, since some desires have been released, they can never be taken back. Although she has always covered it up well, Huang Qiong knows that she is no longer the self she was when she first left the palace. I'm afraid the old man can see this.

After all, the old man should also be one of the driving forces behind the changes in his heart. Something, or is it that he, the emperor Lao Tzu, introduced it? Of course, it is possible that he did not realize it. But Huang Qiong knew that her mother must have noticed it, but her mother didn't say it explicitly.

The reason why her mother adopted Shouyang, Huang Qiong always felt that it was not just a promise to Queen Daxing. But in addition to this, Huang Qiong always felt that her mother was expressing something to herself. It's just something that her mother wants to hint at, but Huang Qiong always has a feeling that it appears in front of her eyes, but she can't grasp it no matter how she is.

As for Fan Jian's words, Huang Qiong shook her head slightly. What you think in your heart, is it really as noble as Fan Jian said? For the country and the people? Do you really think so? Looking at the bonfire in the rebel camp outside the city, Huang Qiong sighed secretly, who knows? There are some things that have not been said in front of my mother for all these years, let alone others.

Fan Jian, who was standing beside Huang Qiong, didn't know that in an instant, the British king in front of him was already thinking about it. Facing Huang Qiong's last words, he said heroically: "What if you lose?" What if you win? Life is only more than 100 years in the world, and too much utilitarianism will only bring trouble to yourself. In life, as long as you have a clear conscience. ”

"In your heart, how can you have a clear conscience?" Hearing Fan Jian's answer, Huang Qiong, who was already a little excited, was interested in being hooked up by this guy again. This guy is dressed as a scholar, but he has the heroic words that only a chivalrous man can have, although it is a little incommensurate, but it makes people feel somewhat heroic.

"I've tried, and even in the end, it's been a failure. The day I close my eyes and go inside the coffin, I can still say that I have a clear conscience. Men, you can't always sit back at home and enjoy the results. The country that you have laid down with your own hands is the best. Speaking of this, Fan Jian's face unnaturally skipped a trace of bitterness.

The bitterness that passed on Fan Jian's face, although it was very short, was still accurately captured by Huang Qiong. It's just that Huang Qiong didn't ask, because in his opinion, everyone has their own secrets in their hearts. Since Fan Jian didn't want to say it, Huang Qiong didn't want to ask either. After all, after hundreds of years, he still respects the privacy of others.

Moreover, judging from Fan Jian's previous words, his wry smile should not have something to do with himself, but with his own family affairs. After all, as a big family that has been thriving for more than 100 years, the Fan family has always been standing. But with the multiplication of children and grandchildren, there are a lot of troubles in this family. The main house and the partial house, the brothers will not stop too much.

Fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with people is even more fun, and where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, which is a tradition that the Chinese have followed for thousands of years. Nest fights, especially within the family, always exist all the time. After all, as the Assassin leader said, everyone is self-motivated.

For the children of the Heavenly Family, the temptation of the throne is far greater than the love of brotherhood. But for those who close the door, it is the position of the head of the family like the emperor of the soil, and the temptation is not small for the children of the family. In fact, every family, because everyone has a different desire for wealth and power, has no less internal strife than the heavenly family.

Including in some aspects, the level of gore is basically the same. The only difference is that because of the difference in rights, how the children of the family are fighting for power and profit, except for tossing themselves, it will not affect the overall situation of the world. It's not like between princes, you can just see each other at every turn.

In the process of development, it is estimated that the Fan family has also encountered the same things. And Fan Jian is probably also one of the protagonists. So although she didn't want to inquire about the Fan family, Huang Qiong felt that she still had to appease this guy. Regarding Fan Jian's words, Huang Qiong turned his head and said, "Sir, is there some inconsistencies in what he said?" ”

"There is no contradiction, the meaning of the sword is that a good man should aim in all directions and fight for one side by himself. But the heart of success or failure should still be viewed with a normal heart. What if you win, what if you lose? If your words really come true, in fact, it doesn't matter. Isn't there a saying that heroes are judged by success or failure? ”

Fan Jian's words fell, and both of them fell silent, each looking into the distance with their own thoughts. The two beautiful captives in the castle tower seemed to have been forgotten. After Fan Jian saw his brother, he obviously had something on his mind. And Huang Qiong was also touched by Fan Jian's words, a place in her heart that was not known to outsiders.

It's just that Huang Qiong is looking at the rebel camp outside the city, while Fan Jian is looking at the starry sky. After a long time, Fan Jian spoke: "Lord Wang, the time we have been together is not too short. Presumably how I am a person, I have already seen it clearly with the eyes of the prince. What do you think of me as a person? ”

Speaking of this, although Fan Jian hesitated slightly, he still added: "Do you think I have the ability to be the head of a big family?" Or can I lead a big family that has experienced more than 100 years, including the main house with the partial house, and a full two or three hundred people, to tide over the current crisis? ”

"Why? Although you have not been with this king for a long time, whether you have the ability or not, this king still knows. Your laziness is just your appearance. To be exact, your laziness should be called camouflage. As for yourself, you are delicate, resourceful, daring, and most importantly, you are a rare assistant to the king. ”

"As for whether you have the ability to be the head of a big family, it depends on what you think. If you want, you can. Because in the eyes of this king, as long as you want to do it, with your ingenuity, you can do everything well" Regarding Fan Jian's inquiry, Huang Qiong turned around and looked at Fan Jian in front of him, and looked at him for a long time before speaking.

Regarding Huang Qiong's answer, Fan Jian said with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, you have come to see me clearly." This point coincides with your ancestors. Ever since I was six years old, my ancestors accidentally knew that I had never forgotten it. The ancestor didn't know what was crazy, and he was bent on cultivating me to become the next generation of the head of the Fan family. ”

"I didn't even hesitate to pass over my father's generation and pass on the position of the head of the family to me directly. Lord Wang, do you know how much wealth the Fan family has accumulated over the past hundred years in business? I don't know the total, but I know somewhat. To say that it is slightly worse than the royal palace that is rich in the world, and the royal palace of Guilin County, which is rich in the world. ”

But more than 100 years of hard work has also accumulated huge wealth. Not counting a large amount of land, the shops under the name are all over the territory of Daqi, and even the Northern Liao and Uighurs have a large number of semicolons. The right to do business on the sea is in the hands of the Guilin County Palace, but sixty percent of the caravans that walked the Silk Road were sent by the Fan family. ”

"The Fan family is a martial arts family, and the most important thing is to protect people. The caravan of the Fan family walked on the Silk Road, and none of the bandits dared to rob. The Fan family is also the largest merchant of wood, grain, tung oil, and fur in Daqi. It is the rich world, the entire Jiangnan is its sphere of influence of the Guilin County Palace, the ships used for overseas trade, the wood used is also from the Fan family. ”

"Without the finest timber from the Northern Liaodong Province sold by the Fan family, the Guilin County Mansion would not have been able to sustain its huge fleet. What's more, most of the tung oil needed for the shipbuilding of the Guilin County Wangfu also comes from the Fan family. Therefore, the Guilin County Mansion also turned a blind eye to the Fan family's sale of silk, tea, porcelain, and medicinal materials through the Silk Road. ”

"Instead of treating other merchants like other merchants, if you want to traffic these goods overseas, you have to look at the eyes of the Guilin County Palace, and if you are disrespectful, you will be blocked at every turn. To put it mildly, starting from Emperor Taizong in this dynasty, the Nanmu coffins used by the emperors when they died had to be purchased from the Fan family. The Nanmu used in the construction of the imperial tomb and palace also needs to be purchased from the Fan family. ”

"Because Nanmu is mainly from Liangchuan, the King of Shu also tried to meddle in the Nanmu business when he was in the domain. But maybe in order to win over the Fan family, maybe there was still some taboo about the Fan family, and the King of Shu finally took the initiative to give up. It can be said that something is going to happen to the Fan family, and the princes and nobles of the entire Jingzhao Mansion can't even buy a single Dongzhu, and they can't buy a piece of high-grade fur from Northern Liao. ”

"Relying on the Fan family, how many porcelain kilns in the Jiangbei area, how many tea merchants, and even how many small weavers in the south of the Yangtze River can barely survive under the persecution of the Guilin County Palace? But if there is no Fan family, the entire Jiangbei will be in mourning. The porcelain kilns in the entire Jiangbei and the tea merchants in Lianghuai South Road and Huguang South Road are almost all going bankrupt. ”

"These businesses have earned a huge amount of wealth for the Fan family every year, plus protégés and disciples all over the world. The Fan family said that they were not allowed to intersect with the imperial court, do you say it is possible? Not to mention anything else, whether it is the pacification envoy of Huguang North Road or the prefect of Xiangyang, the first thing he did was to visit Fan's house. If they anger the Fan family, they will not be able to do it as an official. ”
