After a long while, Wen Xiang reluctantly smiled, broke the silence, and said: "Sixth Master, Eight Banners Reform - I pulled up this talk, it seems that it is a bit far away. ”

After a pause, his smile had become bitter, "I'm coming here today, actually...... Guilty of sin. ”

King Gong's eyes flashed, then disappeared, and said in a calm and sincere tone: "Bochuan, to tell you the truth, I am very happy that you are at this point, come to my door—it shows that we are true friends, do not avoid suspicion, and do not see outsiders!" ”

After a slight pause, "What kind of 'guilty plea' - don't say this kind of thing, you can't talk about it!" I know why you say that, but—no way! That's what you just said, 'the time is also, the situation is also', for the sake of the country's social welfare, you can't help but take this road - you don't have a little selfishness of your own! ”

He exhaled lightly, "To be honest, I may not be as good as if I changed places!" ”

Wen Xiang was not only moved, but also shaken!

Wen Xiang knew that in the matter of Princess Rong'an's succession and heir, although King Gong was silent, he would never praise the establishment of the empress; Wen Xiang has decided to support Princess Rong'an to succeed and inherit the heir, he was King Gong's closest friend and the most reliable right-hand man, and he consciously Qu Shun Ci'an and Guan Zhuofan's intentions, although out of helplessness, he betrayed King Gong, guilty gods, and the night was uneasy, and he came today to "ask for forgiveness" for King Gong.

He didn't expect that he only said the words "guilty of asking for guilt", and did not say what his "crime" was, so King Gong understood his intentions, and took the initiative to express full understanding of his difficulties, and even said, "I may not be as good as changing places."

It's really ...... How clever and wise? And how magnanimous?

In Wen Xiang's heart, blood surged.

However, since he came to "bear the guilt", even if the master had already said that he had no intention of asking for guilt, he could not push the boat down the river and slide lightly.

Wen Xiang calmed his mind and said, "But, Sixth Master, I know that you don't praise the establishment of the empress......

King Gong smiled and said, "Yes, that's nature—my surname is Aixin Jueluo." ”

Wen Xiang was stunned, and the following words could not be said.

"Don't get me wrong," said King Gong, "I didn't mean it...... If you don't have the surname Aixin Jueluo, you don't plan for Aixin Jueluo - on the contrary, you are planning for Aixin Jueluo, so you are - hey, Rong'an is also surnamed Aixin Jueluo! I mean......"

After a pause, he smiled to himself, "Actually, the surname Aixin Jueluo also supports the establishment of the empress-"

sighed and shook his head slightly, "So, what surname Aixin Jueluo or not surname Aixin Jueluo actually doesn't really mean anything - the matter is not on this." ”

These words seem to be a little incoherent, and King Gong's distress and hesitation flicker faintly in them, and it is difficult to hide.

Wen Xiang was silent.

"Also," King Gong glanced at Wen Xiang and said calmly, "The talk of 'Eight Banners Reform' is not far away, in fact, it is the proper meaning of the topic, some things must be done, if you don't do it, the country will always be crushed one day - if you don't do it, this day, you can't wait too long!" ”

After a pause, "If the country is really crushed, where should the surname Aixin Jueluo go?" ”

Wen Xiang was slightly shocked.

"These things," King Gong continued, "are the only things that Yixuan can do—and in this case, some other things cannot but be done according to his wishes. ”

Wen Xiang's heart jumped: "This ......"

A kind of indifferent and helpless smile appeared on King Gong's face: "'Some other things', you do what he wants, 'these things', he will do it more smoothly - then the country is good, the society is good, love Xinjueluo, and be related to the country...... It's not necessarily bad.

After a slight pause, "Maybe, it could be better." ”

I don't know if this last sentence is a contradiction.

However, although the truth is this truth, King Gong said it very thoroughly, but there is a premise for the establishment of this truth, that is, "love Xinjueluo and be related to the country".

In case, one day in the future, Aixin Jueluo ...... Can't you be "with the country" anymore?

Princess Rong'an is in power, and this problem will not arise, but when her children succeed to the throne, will there be a day when she will not love the surname Xinjueluo, change her biological father, and change her religion to "Guan" - "Guerjia"?

Although, when Princess Rong'an succeeded to the throne, she had already made all kinds of promises.

Although, even if there is this day, Wen Xiang may not be able to see it in his lifetime.

Although, Wen Xiang also has the surname "Guerjia".

However, it is still the same sentence, "the time is also, the situation is also" - who knows, decades later, what the current situation will be?

The situation is stronger than the people!

This is Wen Xiang's most secret and deepest worry, buried in the deepest part of his heart, he has nothing to tell his wife, and he can't mention it to any friends, colleagues, or subordinates.

It is difficult to sleep in the early night; I woke up in the middle of the night, sweating through my clothes.

Can you talk to King Gong about this worry?

If you can't talk to King Gong, who else can you talk to?

Not to mention, how can we find a way to deal with it?

Wen Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Sixth Master, there is a sentence that I don't know...... Should I say it? ”

King Gong said, "Between you and me, what should not be said?" What can't be said here and now? ”

Indeed it is.

"Sixth Master, you just said, 'Love Xin Jueluo, and be related to the country'......"

Speaking of which, I can't put it into words, so I stopped.

However, thinking about King Gong's astuteness, he should understand what he has to say.

King Gong raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were already shining.

"Bochuan, I know what you're going to say! - You can tell me that...... The two of us, who have been friends for many years, are real friends who exchange hearts and souls! ”

After a pause, "It's enough to see ...... You are really planning for Aixin Jueluo! ”

After another pause, "Dongbian'er's sentence is good-you are the best friend of the Aixin Jueluo family!" ”

Yes?

At that meeting, Wen Xiang was "alone", and no third person was present, how did the Queen Mother's sentence "You are the best friend of the Aixin Jueluo family" come to King Gong?

However, during that visit, although there was no third person present in the Dongnuan Pavilion, the entire front hall of the Yangxin Palace was not cleared, and there were eunuchs on duty in the Ming Hall separated from the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Bochuan," said King Gong with a smile, "you are wondering, how did I know about this 'comment' of the 'East Side' on you?" Hehe, this sentence is a good word, it can't be better, it comes out, those who speak, and those who are obedient will not be blamed, naturally someone will run to tell each other, you don't have to wonder. ”

Wen Xiang's heart moved: In the palace, King Gong has his own ear report!

He nodded and said nothing.

"However," said King Gong slowly, "I thought that in a few decades, no one would overturn the old agreement and break his promise, and change his surname." ”

Wen Xiang's body leaned forward slightly, stared at King Gong, and said, "Sixth Master, why Yunran?" Please advise! ”

"Bochuan," said King Gong, "think about it, where does the great position of 'man' come from?" ”

"Naturally, it is inherited from his biological mother, today's Princess Rong'an."

"That's right - Rong An is the biological mother of 'someone', not the biological father."

Wen Xiang was so keen, he had already understood, "Sixth Master, you mean-"

After a pause, "Well, do you mean that in the future, if 'someone' changes his mother's surname to his father's surname, it will be...... Dig up your own roots, and deny your own legal system - change your father's surname, that is, inherit your father's heir, and your stepfather's system, then inherit your mother's heir and stepmother's system and get a big position, what's going on? ”

paused slightly, "It's like telling the world: at the beginning, I was actually not qualified to inherit the position of my biological mother!" ”

King Gong smiled slightly, "Not bad! - Think about it again, how did Rong'an's position come about? ”

Wen Xiang lowered his head, conspired for a moment, raised his head, his eyes were already shining, and said: "Princess Rong'an succeeded to the throne with a woman, if 'someone' changes her father's surname, it means that her mother's surname is unbearable - this is not the same as saying that women cannot inherit the throne and inherit the heir?" In this way, not only is it illegal for oneself to inherit the position of one's biological mother, but it is also illegal for one's biological mother to inherit the throne and heir of the year! ”

After a slight pause, "That's really ...... Yourself...... Uprooted! ”

"Ahh King Gong raised his hand and tapped his temple, "As long as there is nothing wrong here, I won't find this trouble for myself and take this inexplicable road!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Wen Xiang became excited, and couldn't help clasping his hands and rubbing them.

"But," he sighed, hesitating, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, someone else will have something else in mind—oh, this 'someone', not the other 'someone', and by 'someone' I mean the people below, especially ...... Someone with the surname Guan—"

paused slightly, "When the time comes, if someone bewitches the 'top' for their own selfishness......"

King Gong nodded, "I understand what you mean-if the 'boss' changes his father's surname, there will be someone - the person with the surname Guan, but it is-"

After a slight pause, "The clan is over." ”

"yes!" Wen Xiang frowned, "The surname of the 'Shangtou' clan mother, the surname Guan is not the clan; The difference between the two is ...... It's big. ”

After a pause, he hesitated, but still said his words: "The heir, the Xuan Mansion has already made a lot of achievements, and the future will ...... There will only be more—including that of Princess Dunrou. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, then his smile disappeared, and he said solemnly, "I see, this class of children, Xuan Di will never ask them to be just rich idlers!" ”

Wen Xiang's meaning is very clear: in the future, Guan Zhuofan's children will definitely enter the government; In their capacity, if they enter the government, they must occupy important positions, and this group of "surnamed Guan" will have a strong influence on the government and on their half-brother of the emperor, well, and possibly the "emperor's sister".

If one day, this class of "surnamed Guan" has the idea of being a clan and a prince-

Hehe, we also want to be with the country!
