"Is it snowing?"

The stableman stood outside, and snow fell in the gloomy sky that was not very clear.

"It's unusual... How can it snow in this weather?

Last time it snowed here... It's more than twenty years ago, strange..."

"Your Excellency, Prince."

An immobile voice came from behind her, and the stableman knew who it was, so he didn't look back, but said to the sky.

"Is the river winning... Where are you going to place the Buddha statue? ”

"Naturally, the servant understands the Prince's intentions... The Buddha statue is being prepared to be placed in the Qin family's residence. ”

“… Is it?

The people of my family didn't come to make it difficult for you, right? ”

“… No, Buduki also sent someone to escort the Buddha statue. ”

I've figured it out, Budu, at least know what you're supposed to do......

"That's good...... What about the mask I gave you? ”

After a break, the stable turned around, and there was a woman with long hair fluttering in front of him, not smiling, if you only look at her right cheek, then it is really an iceberg beauty.

But the left side of her face is tattooed with a slave's tattoo, which is not too much to say disfigured, her long black hair is pinned behind her ear, and as a favorite of the prince, she rarely wears a black noble costume.

"The former identity of the servant, the prince may not care, but the servant will not forget.

The marks on the face should not be covered by the servant's choice. ”

“…… Never mind... If you really don't want to wear it...

Now that the Buddha statue has been sent to you, just protect it. ”

The prince returned to his desk and continued to write his official documents.

“… Anything else? River Victory? ”

"The servant is here to persuade you, beware of the counterattack of my family.

Although it is said that Buduji came to help, it can be regarded as an expression of Su I's family, but... The Ikaruga Palace incident and the expedition to Silla incident, Minister Su I have to start to doubt your thoughts.

Although it is said that the interests of your marriage relationship with the minister are mutually advanced, but... After all, you are acting as the king, and your interests are in conflict with everyone. ”

"Su my family, you need my support now, do you understand, Ha Sheng?"

The stable didn't even raise his head, let alone see Qin Hesheng's solemn expression, and the latter hurriedly stated his opinion, wanting to attract the attention of the prince

"I don't think so.

The power of the Su family can rely on the king, or it can rely on other families to jointly deal with your rule. In particular, the son of the minister, the ambition of the Su I Mao people, the servant has been in contact with him several times, and his greatest ideal is to become a powerful minister like the minister Su I.

When the Su family changed, the servant thought that this person had to be guarded against. ”

"But when the royal family has the support of the army and the support of the weakened family, Ha Sheng, I don't think the Su family can defeat me.

There is some truth in what you say, that showing your edge too early will unite your enemies, but what these people don't know is that such a union is not worth mentioning to me, or to the people of the world.

The Icargoto Palace is just a temptation, and the expedition of Silla is for me to arrange for my forces to get involved in the army and make it obey the command of the real king.

Now, it's time for my showdown, Ha Sheng. The Soga family must not interfere with the actions of my regent, and the interests of the two of us are always one.

The Monobe clan was cleaned up by us, and you also cut off the head of the Monobe Moriya with your own hands, and the Su family has no political enemies; A person with his own blood has become a high position, and it is impossible to ignore it regardless of reason, so Su and my family have a backer; I promote Buddhism and suppress religions that compete with Buddhism, and my family can enjoy a good reputation among the people.

Everything I do is towards my family. Don't forget, the current king is a relative of the Su family, and what I have strengthened is still the authority of the Su family, what's wrong with this? ”

"But, you..."

The prince said a lot, but he still didn't stop writing, and when Qin Hesheng was about to refute, Qian still maintained his original movements and interrupted her words.

"I know this very well, Ha Katsu.

Don't stop me, I know better than anyone about my family's ambitions. I don't have a problem with you not liking Budukhi, but don't mess with my plans.

Buduki and I have a secret pact, which has disrupted our plans for each other, and you cannot afford to bear this blame. ”

In the last sentence, the prince used his ability to warn Qin Hesheng not to mess around, and when she heard this, she didn't dare to say anything more, just broke out in a cold sweat and apologized to the stable.

“… If the prince had a choice, the servant didn't dare to say anything more.

However, the servant will retain the servant's opinion. ”

“……”

The prince did not speak, and then corrected his official documents. Seeing this, Qin Hesheng also knew that he shouldn't stay anymore, so he was ready to get up, salute the prince, and leave quickly.

"Lord Prince, Yamashiro has always wanted to come... Ah, are you entertaining? ”

The knife came in at this time, but a child came in first, he looked like he was six or seven years old, with a bun and a book in his hand. But now that he saw outsiders, he obediently retreated to his mother, Dao Zigu.

The prince raised his head when he heard the words of the knife just now, and when she saw his wife and children, she smiled and put down the pen in her hand.

"Yamashiri, come here."

"Got it, Father."

The child obediently ran to the side of the stable, and the prince touched his head, then stood up and said to Qin Hesheng, who was a little at a loss.

"This is my son and future heir, Ha Sheng.

I don't think Onotomi's status is suitable for teaching the heir of the king, and I don't feel so relieved to hand it over to someone else.

But I'm relieved to leave it to you. So, would you like to let the mountain city accept your teachings? ”

Since ancient times, the prince and the knife have been women, and it is naturally impossible to give birth to offspring, and this child was adopted from the people. The crown prince may not take his future very seriously, but the prince knows that this child must be educated well.

After choosing immortality, he must not be able to occupy this position all the time, otherwise he will be considered a monster. Then the child must learn how to rule the country, how to govern the people.

Moreover, to put it mildly, in other words, Shancheng is to use the props to buy people's hearts, and entrust him to a courtier who is loyal to him, and that courtier will naturally be grateful to Dade and will be more loyal.

It's just that, as I said, there are no good candidates. The person who chooses immortality naturally can't teach him, and he can't give up his desires because of the mountain city, even if he can't do it himself.

The folk clan came to teach, and he would never choose, and he would never be allowed by the people of the Su family.

Those who are loyal to themselves, Onochen needs to open the road of the Sui State for himself, and he can't choose; Hui Ci is only a monk, he has no experience in governing the country, and the future ruler should not be too benevolent, especially if there is power within him; The knife has not worked since ancient times, she is very clever, but she does not have that courage, and her indecisive personality is not a good thing for anyone in power.

Therefore, only Qin Hesheng, who once belonged to him, was left, and he had cultivated her, and her loyalty and ability were definitely beyond doubt. There may be some places where the vision is not long-term enough, but... The ability to keep it is sufficient.

"Servant... Prince, you..."

It's just that Qin Hesheng doesn't seem to be able to keep up with this rhythm, first his advice was denied by the prince, and he thought that the prince was very dissatisfied with him, but since the ancient lady came out, how did he become the teacher of the prince's heir?

Moreover, the crown prince currently has only one heir, that is to say, the prince's future heir is this mountain city.

The identity changed too quickly, so she couldn't react.

"Huh? … You don't have to worry about this, I chose you, so I naturally have my reasons.

… Of course, if you don't want to, you can pretend that you didn't hear anything. ”

As soon as she said this, she realized what she should do, and hurriedly saluted the prince and Shancheng and said.

“… The servant understands the intention of the prince, and the eldest son of the prince will definitely teach him well. ”

"The knife has been around since ancient times, so come over too."

The prince gestured and asked her to come over, and at this time, the child also wisely saluted Qin Hesheng and said.

"Lord Qin, the kid will learn from the adults in the future, please give me more advice."

“… You don't have to be like this, the servant is just a slave of the prince, and he can't accept such a big gift. ”

Seeing that these two people were making a fuss here, the prince just said quietly to the knife since ancient times.

"Don't be mad at me about this... Knives since ancient times. ”

Hearing this, Dao Zigu blinked.

"No, Prince.

It's just that... What does the cloth think about this? She still likes this grandson more. ”

"I can naturally rest assured, the knife has been since ancient times."

I don't know why.,Monobe cloth also arrived at the Turtledove Palace.,There's no one with you.,It looks like he's just here to visit the door.,Or...

"But the specific details, I think the prince can tell me later.

It's just that I have something important to tell you now, Lord Prince, do you think I should be outside first, or wait for you to finish your business? ”

"The knife has been around since ancient times, you take the mountain city and have a good chat with this Qin Hesheng, I and Bu have something to say."

"Yes, Prince-sama (father)."

After the three of them left, the prince returned to the table, and Budu was sitting opposite the prince.

"So, what is the attitude of the Su family towards this matter that I raised?"

"Opinions are different, but it's acceptable, it's just that the people of the Su family have begun to suggest to the minister whether they need to change the regent.

The minister suppressed their opinions, thinking that the knowledge and system of the Sui State were beneficial to the Su family, but the lord specially asked me to tell you, don't go overboard. ”

"Is it just a warning? … Hum... I already know that my strength can no longer be easily shaken, so I can carry out reforms with confidence.

However, you still have to be careful and don't rush too much. Yamato can't have another civil strife, otherwise the Sui or Silla people will kill him.

Or youkai... It can completely defeat us in our confusion, and we are dead ends without a continent connection. ”
