"Sixth Prince, I have always wanted to ask, what kind of person is the Fifth Prince in your eyes, and why do you say that?" Qi Lichen asked.

"He, in my eyes, has always been a person who wants to grab things from me." Gu Xizhou said, plucking the piano again, this time the friendship was obviously much more urgent than just now.

Why do you think that? To rob your stuff, what to rob? Qi Lichen sat down, "The fifth prince has been released, if you talk about father's love, you get far more than he gets, the emperor will also invite you to invite the best gentleman, will attach great importance to you, the emperor can be said to give you the best father's love, but you did not bear the throne as he expected, the emperor is the emperor, his love can be free of impurities, but, after his old age, he must consider the country, this is a good emperor, if it is blindly because of favoritism which son, It doesn't matter whether this son has the ability to assume the position of ruler or not. ”

Gu Xizhou plucked the strings of the hand, and then paused slightly, "What the emperor gave me was what I didn't want, what he didn't give me was what I wanted most, he never knew what I wanted, didn't I have such ability?" ”

"On the flood, the emperor has already seen the difference, and the emperor asked you to arrange refugees, but how did you do it?" Qi Lichen laughed, "As the emperor, you must be people-oriented, but you don't care about it, and even want to frame the disaster victims, the first thing that comes to mind is suppression, not rich and poor, these people are unarmed ordinary people, the emperor naturally understands this truth, the king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, or the boat, the emperor does not let you be the prince is also for your own good, because he knows that you can't afford this responsibility." ”

Gu Xizhou stood up suddenly, "Young Master Qi, over the years, I have done my best for this country, and I have shared my worries with him around the emperor, and there are many people in the court who support me, are these not enough to show that I have the talent to be a prince?" ”

"You have this talent, you just don't have this character." Qi Lichen smiled, "The emperor may hesitate before the five princes return to Beijing, and he may hesitate now, but if the five princes tell the story of the assassins they encountered along the way, the emperor will probably not hesitate, because the emperor will understand that if you become the emperor and kill each other, it will be bloody, but if the five princes become emperors after a hundred years, they will definitely properly settle their brothers and sisters." ”

"How do you know I can't do it?" Gu Xizhou laughed, "Why do I work so hard but still can't get the approval of others, just because a prince who has been out for many years, just because he has done one thing, just one thing, the emperor has the intention of making him the prince?" ”

"The Sixth Prince, one thing can tell a person's character, is he benevolent? More than ten workers died when the dam was built, and the five princes handled it very well, and you, at that time, didn't want to share worries for the emperor and the court, but thought about how to use this matter to build momentum in the court, the emperor knew it, but he didn't want to say it, this is enough to pamper you, you don't want to force the emperor to have no way out, right? Qi Lichen looked at these things very openly, and he was only afraid that the authorities would be confused, and only the bystanders would be clear.

Gu Xizhou frowned, "What do you mean......"

"I advise you not to overdo things, when the time comes, everyone will not be able to get off the stage, and the emperor will have no way to defend you, no matter how selfish he is towards you." Qi Lichen said, standing up, "You didn't call me over today to talk about these things, right?" ”

"Of course I'm not here to listen to you." Gu Xizhou nodded, "I just want to know, what is good about the five princes that is worthy of your heartfelt attention." ”

Qi Lichen thought about it, he couldn't talk about loyalty, he just made a friend by chance, and he felt that this person was not at all different from those who were impregnated in the court.

He is very pure, and he will always think about the people, not for his own selfish interests and ignore the overall situation.

At that time, he also had the idea of recovering the country and went to contact Gu Jianglin.

originally thought that this chaotic minister and thief who plotted to usurp the throne could not raise a good son, and he was no different from those people, but after contact, he found that he was away all the year round, so he deeply understood the suffering of the people, and had a heart for the country and the people, and he was also knowledgeable and knew when to make what kind of choice.

He will never put the struggle for power in front of the people.

No matter what position he is in, he will do his last bit for the well-being of the people.

For so many years, although Gu Jianglin has not been reused, his big and small things undoubtedly reveal his sincerity, and in the process of contacting a person, he will also understand what this person is like.

Qi Lichen's willingness to give up Fuguo is also largely because of Gu Jianglin.

Because he felt that there was no need for war in this world, but a wise monarch.

"If I were like him, would you still be loyal to me?" Gu Xizhou asked.

Qi Lichen glanced at him, "You should already have the answer in your heart, there is no way to eradicate the root of people's inferiority, especially after adulthood." ”

Gu Xizhou sneered, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were full of coldness, "It seems that the last chance is gone." ”

"If you are willing to stop, I think, with the heart of the fifth prince, you may not be willing to let you go." Qi Lichen said slowly: "Today, when the five princes enter the palace to meet you, they shouldn't say anything about the people you sent to chase and kill on the road." ”

"It's too late, you're right, right is a whirlpool, as long as you get caught in this whirlpool, there is no way out." Gu Jianglin stood up, his eyes became more and more cold, "Qi Gongzi, try it, these are all new cooks in my house." ”

Qi Lichen could see the change in the expression on his face and knew that this person was hopeless, stood up and hugged his fists and said goodbye: "It's useless to say more, it's not the same thing, since you have already made a decision, why bother to ask my opinion, I'm just an inconsequential person, I know that no matter what I do, I can't change a person's inner thoughts." ”

Gu Xizhou glanced at him, "In fact, a person like you is like a thousand-mile horse, and there are many Bole who appreciate it, so Maxima has the qualifications to choose." ”

Qi Lichen just looked at him.

Gu Xizhou waved his hand, sat down and poured a glass of wine, and drank it clean by himself, "This is the last time I will tell the truth." ”

Qi Lichen knew that what he just said was a mixed bag, he seemed to be used to it, and speaking the truth mixed with lies like this always made people feel more convincing than pure truth.

It's not that he doesn't have any skills, at least he knows how to win people's hearts.

Qi Lichen smiled and said, "I hope that in the future, I will be able to meet someone who will let you tell the truth, a person who really tells the truth." ”

Gu Xizhou's eyelashes moved, and he didn't speak.

Qi Lichen turned to leave.

"This person is too presumptuous, he can be punished for any crime." The subordinate helped the side to help.

"Any crime, do you know that this time is different from the past, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, in a good opportunity, I sheltered him, and now there is no such opportunity." Gu Xizhou shook his head, and after a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "This time you can't use a direct method, but as long as the fifth prince ascends to the crown prince, he will be a villain, so the main reason is that the fifth prince Gu Jianglin." ”
