When the queen heard this, she was really moved, and this idea is indeed a good idea.

The queen stared at Xichenyuan again, and Xichenyuan smiled: "Queen Mother, you can leave this matter to me, I will definitely satisfy you." ”

The queen didn't say a word, indicating acquiescence.

At the same time, the Northern Desert.

Don't wait to lie on the bed, can't sleep with a pair of eyes open, this is destined to be another sleepless night.

He thought that he had asked the imperial court for a batch of grain this time, in addition to some seeds, something suitable for survival in this part of the Northern Desert.

It's a drop in the bucket, but it can improve the environment somewhat.

Mo sighed a lot, since he came here, he felt that there was nothing important to do all day. Because apart from the trivial things that some local residents want to escape from the country, nothing big has happened here.

If he continues like this, he is afraid that he will be decadent.

It turns out that a person's will can be worn out by time, and he suddenly misses the days of intrigue in the court.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, have you slept?"

"Not yet."

Don't wait for leisure, hurriedly get up and open the door, and welcome the king of Zhenbei in.

King Zhenbei held a watermelon the size of four fists in his hand, and it was still stained with some water droplets at the moment.

In such a dry area of the Northern Desert, there are still watermelons! Mo couldn't help but be a little shocked.

So he asked, "Where did this little watermelon come from?" Is there anything else in this place? I've never seen it before. ”

The little watermelon is only pink and tender when cut, not bright red, and it is not very sweet to eat.

But when that touch of sweetness slid into their tongues, the two of them still smiled very contentedly.

Zhenbei Wang explained: "This is our own breeding, after all, this is not the border of the Northern Desert, in fact, it is not particularly dry, so we can still find a way to breed it." This method was taught to me by the people under me when I was guarding the border. ”

Mo nodded and asked after eating a piece of melon, "What about General Long and Xiang Tian, did they also eat melons?" ”

King Zhenbei shook his head and said, "This melon was sent by them." They all said to eat with you first, for fear that your golden branch and jade leaf body would be irritable after staying here for a long time, so they specially sent melons to comfort you. ”

Hearing this, he sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that these five big and three rough men are quite comforting, and the rest of the watermelons are divided among them, right?" I ate one piece and it was enough. ”

King Zhenbei took another bite of the melon and asked rhetorically: "It's been some time since you came to the Northern Desert, what do you have in mind?" ”

Mo waited and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"You can think of anything, say whatever you want, say it, and listen to it."

Hearing this, Mo was silent for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Actually, I have been reflecting for so many days, reflecting on my own way of life, and on the relationship between me and Shuilangyan. ”

"How's the reflection? What did you figure out again? ”

"Hey—I'm wondering, what is the way of a king?"

"You know what? In the past, she and I had a serious discussion about this matter, but at that time she said that the way of the monarch and the minister, kindness and righteousness are reciprocated. Actually, I don't really understand, what does it mean to repay kindness in her eyes? From this point of view, I am afraid that there is no such deep friendship between me and her. ”

Mo Waitless remembered the look in the way Shui Cangyan looked at him before, as if the two of them had been together for a lifetime. But it was only for a moment, and he saw a deep friendship in the eyes of the water cage.

It's as if they were also monarchs and ministers in their previous lives, and this feeling is not inexplicable.

"But it's not ridiculous for you to say this, obviously the two of us only had the love of childhood sweethearts before, and there was no love between kings and ministers at all. If there is, it is also a matter of this life and this life, and it also starts with the fact that I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but until now, isn't it only a few months? ”

King Zhenbei nodded, and then asked, "Then what do you think of his style?" ”

"Arrogant, some high-profile, some wanton, but they are all justified. She didn't look like someone who would do such a thing at her age, but like someone in her thirties and forties. Sometimes I have to admit that her deliberations are far more calm than mine. ”

"Do you think you can control her, then?"

Mo Waitless shook his head decisively.

"I can't control it, so what should I do?"

Mo looked at him leisurely, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and he didn't know what to do in his heart.

It's just that he remembered the teachings of his uncle Lin Shenlou and the teachings of his father.

Lin Shenlou said, I am not talented, and the talents of the world are used by me.

The father said that the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great.

Mo Xian let out a long sigh, and then said with certainty: "Every courtier has a different personality, she is a girl and deserves to be tolerated, and her behavior is not so incomprehensible, maybe it will be better in the future." ”

"Besides, isn't every talented courtier a little arrogant? The clouds are shocking, the clouds are shocking, and Huo Chop is everywhere, and I don't care about one more water cage smoke. ”

"Hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a little helpless. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, did he think about how to treat them? ”

"What do you mean?"

"When the emperor was the crown prince, he was only in his early twenties, and the emperor's temperament at that time was very similar to that of His Royal Highness the Prince. At that time, the kings of our four counties were also the same age as the emperor, and they were all strong-blooded. ”

"Speaking of that time, I really miss it. At that time, the emperor and the queen were still in love, the Tang family army, the Shui family army, and our four county kings were all towards the emperor. ”

"At that time, King Pingdong was the emperor's eldest brother and was deeply loved by the emperor. King Pingdong's temperament is also very similar to the current King of Pingdong, and at a glance it is a thorn. I think it's because King Pingdong is also like that now, so the emperor will be disgusted when he sees him. ”

When he heard this, Mo Yixian couldn't help but be a little surprised.

King Zhenbei patted him on the shoulder again and said: "The emperor is in the prime of life but unconscious, since you have been made the crown prince, you will be the lord of the world in the future, and we old ministers can only rely on you." ”

"In the future, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, no matter what you do with the water cage smoke, it will be a later story. But now, no matter what he does, please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must be calm. ”

"The current situation, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very clear in his heart. It is impossible for the queen to send an edict to let you return to the palace. But when the king of Zhenxi returns to Lin'an City, it won't be long before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be welcomed back. ”

"If nothing else, this time the courtiers will support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne directly. The old minister has nothing else to say, but hopes that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will not be rash and wantonly purge the courtiers. ”

"If nothing else, it's for His Royal Highness the Prince's own image. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that after the emperor ascended the throne, despite our opposition, he insisted on demoting King Pingdong to the Eastern Wilderness to death. ”

"There is also an imperial uncle, who originally supported the emperor, but the emperor was suspicious of him, so he also demoted him from the palace. Speaking of this imperial uncle, you also know it. ”

"It's Lin Shenlou, isn't it?"

King Zhenbei nodded, and continued: "But the emperor's move has made many courtiers dissatisfied, and even many people think that the emperor is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, hiding the birds with bows, and cooking rabbits and dead dogs. ”

"Especially General Shui and General Tang, these two can be said to be the founding generals, so both of them are highly meritorious. Both were relegated to the frontier, and this time for more than ten years. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the courtiers have been writing books one after another over the years, let them come back. The call was too high, and the emperor had to let them come back. Besides, wasn't General Shui rumored to have died in battle before? ”

"In fact, when that incident came out, the emperor had already agreed to eat away all the forces of the Shui family. It's just that I never expected that there would be a change in the water cage smoke, if there was no water cage smoke, I think you would have become the emperor now. ”

Mo Waitian already had some numbers in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking: "When King Zhenbei told me these things, did he want me to be careful of the water cage smoke, or did he want me to do something?" ”

The king of Zhenbei said earnestly: "It is a blessing for the people of the world to get this good general, but I don't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the princes." Has His Royal Highness ever known why she worships my father? ”

Mo thought about it for a while and said: "She just wants to get rid of the relationship with the Shui family, at that time, he probably didn't want the queen to hold the Shui family in his hands, and naturally he didn't want to be held by me." ”

After hearing this, King Zhenbei nodded, and then added: "But he and she are not just for these two points. ”

Speaking of this, King Zhenbei let out a long sigh and continued: "Actually, when it comes to this matter, I really admire her a little, she can think so far at a young age. ”

She seemed to have seen the situation clearly from the beginning, knowing that the court would eventually divide the world. So she actually wants to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she wants to get rid of herself from the Shui family. ”

"Now among the four county kings in the court, the two county kings in the north and south of the town are facing the emperor, and the king of the two counties in the west and east of the town is facing your Royal Highness the Prince, which everyone knows."

"Maybe she knew from the beginning that this battle was destined to start, if she was still in the Shui family, with her previous marriage contract with you, as well as her relationship with the king of Pingdong, in fact, the position of the Shui family is very embarrassing."

"It has always been the snipe and the clam that compete, and the fisherman profits, and if you want to win in the end, you have to rely on this force towards the emperor. This time the emperor was in a coma, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have realized the importance of this force. ”

"If it weren't for the water cage smoke taking the lead, many people in Chaocheng would rather keep their mouths shut than dare to disobey the queen and King Pingdong. The Empress and King Pingdong's methods, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you know, even if you get rid of some courtiers behind your back, it is not uncommon. ”

"Therefore, apart from me and her, there is no more suitable candidate among these courtiers to take the lead in supporting the emperor and supporting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
