Mei Niang originally just turned her face away from him, but didn't look at him - but in the mirror, she could see his demeanor clearly, and naturally she could see the slightest change in his demeanor.

When she saw his sentimental expression, she knew what he remembered. For a while, my heart was soft, but I also felt that my breathing was soft, and it seemed that I didn't even have any weight.

But only for a moment.

She knew that such feelings were just her momentary feelings.

Or rather, she was forcing herself to admit that it was just a momentary feeling for her. Otherwise, she really doesn't know how to deal with such a sudden mood, how to deal with it, to solve it.

Because now, there is something more important to her.

"This hairpin flower is very beautiful."

After being silent for a long time, Mei Niang suddenly spoke, but she said something that was off topic.

But this sentence hit the place where the little warm sun reached in Li Zhi's heart lake, and for a while, Li Zhi smiled with great joy: "Isn't it? This hairpin, but I found many people to ask for a good craftsman to make it. It is said that it is a famous Persian craftsman, and the craftsmanship is the most outstanding, and you see the method of saving beads on this flower, which is not obtained in our country. If you can follow this method of saving beads in the future and teach those craftsmen in our country to make them together, you will have another new ornament to use in the future. ”

"It doesn't have to be."

Mei Niang smiled faintly, but she did not refuse to take the opportunity to speak, so she grabbed Li Zhi, who was rubbing her in her arms, and only gently put her hand on his chest, and said in a low voice:

"If you talk about the method of saving beads, which craftsman in the world can make the pearl flower that Uncle Yuan made for the successive mothers?"

Li Zhi heard this, but he was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice:

"What do you want to say? Concerning...... Uncle. ”

Mei Niang's eyebrows narrowed, and it took a while for her to spin in his arms, and turned her head to look at Li Zhi:

"Is Jiro really going to do it?"

"What?"

"I want to depose Uncle Yuan."

“…… Didn't you say it a long time ago? This is the best way back for this uncle. ”

Li Zhi's expression was still gentle, he sat down slowly, looking at Mei Niang's eyes, there was even a sense of pulse in it, but the words that came out of his mouth were cold and piercing:

"And I also told you, after all, he is the first assistant of a country, and when he sets foot on this road, he knows that the chance of getting good results is already very difficult. So in order to preserve him, such a result is the best. ”

"Really?"

Mei Niang looked at Li Zhi, and there was a sharpness in her eyes that he had never seen before:

"Is that really just because of that? Or is it because of something else? For example......"

Mei Niang looked at him and said softly:

"For example, because of Uncle Yuan, what he wants and wants in his heart can't be as Jiro wants? For example, the existence of Uncle Yuan, is a big obstacle for Mei Niang? For example, because Uncle Yuan can't tolerate some of the things that Jiro is thinking about in his heart......"

"Mei Niang."

Li Zhi's voice was flat and soft, but he stopped Mei Niang.

She looked at Li Zhi.

Over the years since she met him, she had heard Li Zhi call her name countless times.

or tenderness like water, or enthusiasm like fire, or full of joy, or full of anxiety......

When he called her, he was always gentle, always intoxicating her.

But this time......

This time, the way he called her, made her afraid. Scared from the bottom of my bones.

- Mei Niang.

Flat tone, flat voice.

But that is the form of a categorical imperative, the form of an irrefutable imperative, an unquestionable imperative.

It is no longer a husband's call to his wife, nor is it a man's call to his sweetheart......

Is that......

It was a monarch, a command to his subordinates, a terminating language.

- You don't have to ask about the next thing, it's not what you should ask......

Mei Niang.

Just these two words, but almost all of Li Zhi's thoughts were said.

Mei Niang just looked at Li Zhi like this.

She was not afraid, nor angry—on the contrary, her heart was full of pain and pity—and all the answers actually came from these two words.

All the questions were also answered by the word Li Zhi.

Subconsciously, she bit her lip, with a hint of tears in her eyes, but she still forced herself to smile: "It seems to be true...... Jiro really plans to let Uncle Yuan completely get old, right? ”

Li Zhi turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

"Because of Mei Niang? No, I'm afraid not? ”

Such an evasive attitude did not make Mei Niang give up, on the contrary, it inspired her to further expose everything - there are some things that she has already thought of guessing, but she has always been unwilling to face them.

Now it seems that the time has come to face it.

Li Zhi still didn't answer, and got up and made a gesture of preparing to leave.

"If Jiro wants to leave today, then Mei Niang can't stop you. It's just that there are some things that Mei Niang has to say after all. After all, it involves Mei Niang herself, and if she should ask, she has to ask. This is what Jiro taught Mei Niang, isn't it? ”

Mei Niang said a word, but Li Zhi stopped, turned his head slowly, and stopped looking at her......

Or rather, don't dare to look at her again.

Mei Niang got up and waved her hand, and the attendants on both sides who had already noticed the poor complexion of the two saints immediately retreated, and even the Ming and Qing brothers hurriedly withdrew, and only together with the two Yu sisters, the temple door was firmly guarded, and outsiders were not allowed to enter and leave at will.

Mei Niang turned around and stood behind Li Zhi, looked at his thin back, calmed her emotions for a while, and then slowly confided:

"Mei Niang entered the palace at the age of eleven and knew Jiro, so she knew one thing deeply, a very important thing - in this world, if there is a person who can be said to act wantonly, if nothing can be done, then it must be Jiro - even if it is something that the first emperor can't do, Jiro can also do it very well. Because Jiro understands the importance of hiding the edge better than anyone else. And this is one of the reasons why Mei Niang is devoted to Jiro. ”

She said slowly, not letting go of Li Zhi's back, and watched intently.

"Everyone in the world says that the power of the Son of Heaven can be tilted over the country, such as Jing Han Jiyue and others, and they regard this throne of the Son of Heaven as a lifelong thought. In their eyes, the heart of Jiro must be the same as theirs. So every time they do something to Jiro, they always think about what Jiro thinks and what Jiro thinks with such a stance and such a mentality...... And because of this, they are frustrated again and again, and desperate again and again. Because ......"

Mei Niang paused for a moment and said softly:

"Because Jiro is really different from them. What Jiro has said has always been what he really wants and thinks. Jiro is really different from them. ”

Mei Niang slowly walked to Li Zhi's side, stood side by side with him, looked ahead, and said calmly:

"Whether it's the second king of Jing Han, or the second brother of Ji Yue. None of them are the same as Jiro. Jiro's life, since the moment he was born, has been a real product in the world, a rich idler. ”

Mei Niang paused for a moment and continued:

"The first emperor doted on and pampered successively. The holy religion is virtuous, and the jade becomes a good material...... Such words, put on Jiro, are not false. Think about it, in fact, Mei Niang should have thought of it a long time ago. How can a child like Jiro, who has lacked nothing since he was a child, really regard power as a scepter? ”

She whispered, but it was like poking the most painful part of Li Zhi's heart, making Li Zhi change color, but she didn't answer.

"Isn't it?"

Mei Niang still didn't look back, and smiled stubbornly:

"Jiro has the parents who love children in the world, and know how to love and raise children the most; They gave Jiro everything, and the world couldn't give what they couldn't think......

Brocade clothes and jade food, gorgeous clothes and beautiful crowns, golden books and purple Jane, high-rise buildings and deep courtyards......

Everything is what the world desires. Even what most people in this world can't think of and can't get, Jiro has it.

A person who lacks nothing naturally has little desire. ”

Mei Niang paused for a moment, and then continued:

Then such a person will naturally live in the world without fear and fear, and naturally will not have any greed for power - because the saying that no desire is just is not false.

If a person is even rich in power and wealth, and everything in the world is regarded as dung, he is already almost extremely holy. How could such a jiro be willing to be firmly bound by this supreme position and the heaviest burden in the world? ”

Mei Niang asked gently, as if she was asking Li Zhi, and as if she was asking herself.

"Over the years, Jiro has been like a child, seemingly constantly chasing something and asking for something. All the way from the ignorant Jin King Zhinu, embarked on the road of competing for the throne, and then slowly ascended the throne. Although everyone believed that all this was arranged by the first emperor and the providence of God...... But only one person knows that all of this is just because Jiro still has a little greed after all...... It's Mei Niang, and the children. Right? ”

Mei Niang said softly:

And such a Jiro is not invincible in the world-because of his weakness, and because of his concern, Jiro is bound to this supreme position-but for Yujiro himself, the idea of being a leisurely idler has never been broken, and he has never been abandoned. Because Jiro knows that that is the life that Jiro himself really wants. Right? ”

"But in order to achieve that kind of life, there must be someone who will bear the burden of this country for Jiro and take over the crown of the Son of Heaven. However, this world is the world of Li Tang's family, and Jiro is a descendant of Li Tang's family. In any case, the roots are here, and the well-being of all the people in the world is here, and Jiro categorically cannot say that he will throw it away, and he will let it go. Therefore, as far as Jiro is concerned, the best way is to hand over the power of the world to a person who Jiro can absolutely trust and trust.

Who?

Only their own flesh and blood, or their own beloved and faithful people. ”

Mei Niang said softly:

"So the reason why Hong'er is called Hong'er is because he is destined, and Jiro wants the best candidate to make Xian for the Zen position - he is the person chosen by Jiro. But it's a pity that this child is too young, and Jiro's heart is the flesh of his heart, how can he be willing to let him be injured early and bear these things? So in Jiro's case, we can only wait.

To Jiro's surprise, while waiting, Jiro found a person, someone who was enough to take on the affairs of the Tang Dynasty before Hong'er became an adult......

It's Mei Niang. ”

Speaking of this, Mei Niang turned her head gently and looked at Li Zhi, her eyes were full of tears, aggrieved and unwilling:

Jiro saw Mei Niang, and he saw a glimmer of hope to get rid of the heavy responsibility. But this point did not escape the eyes of Uncle Yuan, and Uncle Yuan would never allow Jiro to evade his responsibilities like this. So if you want to transfer the responsibility to Mei Niang, you must go to Uncle Yuan first. Only in this way can Mei Niang take over this burden for Jiro, and Jiro can be his own idle person, just waiting for Hong'er to get older and older year by year. Really?

Jiro, Jiro, you're so selfish...... For the sake of your own little freedom and a little ease, you have to calculate your own uncle, wife and children, so that one of them will end up in a situation where one of the founding fathers of the country will not be able to achieve good results, one will embark on the road of hard work all his life and bear the name of disaster for the country, and one will have to bear the great responsibility for the well-being of all the people in the world when he has just become an adult......

Hello selfish! ”

Speaking of this, Mei Niang couldn't help it and cried bitterly!
