Chapter 573: Want to sit in that position?
Xiao Lingyan went to the battlefield for his brother and died nine times for life. He is still trapped in the whirlpool of political struggle, and his life is in danger at any time.
He paid so much, lived and died with Xiao Lingpu, and shared the huge risk of winning the heir. But in the end, Xiao Lingpu ascended to the throne, what can Xiao Lingyan get?
When Xiao Qi was in power, he was a prince, and he could still participate in politics and do what he wanted. Because the future throne has not been decided, the ministers and various factions do not dare to be disrespectful to him on the surface.
After Xiao Lingpu ascended the throne, Xiao Lingyan didn't even have the right now, and he would not even be as good as the minister of the court and the central government at that time. After all, these princes are all guarded against and suspicious by the emperor, and whatever they do will make the emperor careless. Therefore, the best way to live is to travel in the mountains and rivers, to be an idle prince who does not take care of political affairs, and to refer to Kang Shilin in his code of conduct. In that way, he will be able to smooth out his life.
As a mother, how could Cen Guifei bear to let her son be unhappy in marriage again?
"So you ...... now Is there a girl you like? If so, tell your mother. No matter who she is or what kind of status she is, my mother will help you marry her into the door, and will never let you suffer a little grievance in family affairs. When Cen Guifei said this, she was cautious, lest she let Xiao Lingyan be too careful.
Xiao Lingyan shook his head: "Not for the time being." When I have it and want to marry, I will be the first to tell my mother. I want to decide my own marriage and not marry a girl from the Guardian House. Don't mention that family affair again. ”
"Okay, my mother knows what you mean. Don't worry, I'll tell your grandfather about it. Cen Guifei said.
After thinking about it, she added: "You should know how your brother treats you." Like his mother, he is absolutely reluctant to persecute you. ”
Xiao Lingyan nodded.
When he came back from the border pass, Xiao Lingpu's distress, gratitude, guilt and desire to make up for it were all felt by him during this time.
The original owner grew up behind Xiao Lingpu like a little heel, and Xiao Lingpu really loved his younger brother, which he also felt. Otherwise, he would not have been able to run to the border, let alone desperately try to seize the throne for Xiao Lingpu.
If he doesn't want to get involved in this whirlpool, he can also avoid these political struggles and save his life like Zhao Ruxi, and he doesn't necessarily have to go up.
came out of the palace and returned to his Qi Palace. After sitting in the mansion until the evening, he called the guards with a similar body to change his clothes and sit in the house to read and write, and he quietly went out of the Qi Palace, and went to the Suiping Bo Mansion with a few secret guards.
He missed Zhao Ruxi and wanted to see her.
When Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu left, the old nursing homes of Suiping Bofu only brought two, but Zhao Ruxi took eight of the nursing homes selected from Zhuangzi. In addition to the original one, Zhao Ruxi picked a few people from Zhuangzi to supplement the current nursing home of Suiping Bofu.
These are the young men on the Zhuangzi who have grown up in the past two years, they are tall and big, they have been trained by Ma Sheng for a while, and they will also do some rough fist and foot kung fu, do some errands and chores, and protect their masters when facing ordinary people, which is enough. But the comings and goings of a master like Xiao Lingyan couldn't be noticed at all, let alone blocked.
"Your guards here can't do it." As soon as they met, Xiao Lingyan said to Zhao Ruxi.
"As long as the relationship between you and me is not exposed, this nursing home is enough. Besides, isn't there a secret guard you sent to guard it? Zhao Ruxi looked at him with a smile.
Xiao Lingyan coughed lightly: "Isn't that worried about your safety?" I didn't say it explicitly, but I knew I couldn't hide it from you. ”
The two of them said that at the beginning, Xiao Lingyan sent guards to secretly protect Zhao Ruxi. Later, the relationship between the two was confirmed, and Xiao Lingyan sent guards to be above board.
"The effect of your Agility Pill and Strength Pill is very good, and ordinary people can't get close to you. It's not easy to hurt you. He said.
Zhao Ruxi nodded.
She also relied on the secret guard given to her by Xiao Lingyan, plus the bonuses of her agility pill and strength pill, and she had always practiced the boxing techniques given to her by Xiao Lingyan, so she dared to be so bold and only used ordinary people as nurses.
As a person who has died once, she still regrets her life.
"You're coming here now, what's the matter?" She asked.
Xiao Lingyan nodded and told the family affairs that Cen Guifei arranged for him.
His desire to survive is very strong, and it is best to explain it clearly as soon as he knows that there is such a thing, otherwise if Zhao Ruxi knows from elsewhere in the future, his dog's life will not be guaranteed.
"Qi Xuan of the Patriotic Mansion?" Zhao Ruxi raised her eyebrows.
She didn't know many noble girls, but Qi Xuan was one. That's a coincidence.
"I've already made it clear to Concubine Cen Guifei." Xiao Lingyan explained his conversation with Cen Guifei again.
Zhao Ruxi is not a stingy person, so naturally he will not complain about Xiao Lingyan because of this kind of thing.
She considered another question: "In the future, when your second brother becomes the emperor, he really won't be suspicious of you?" ”
She and Xiao Lingyan are not people who can be idle. In the future, there will be no such political struggle, and they will definitely reform the industry of the Great Jin Dynasty and vigorously develop the productive forces of the imperial examination on the existing basis.
If they do such a thing, they can still be suspected by Xiao Lingpu, then they simply don't care about it now. Anyway, Xiao Lingyan's death is over, while Xiao Yu is still in power, Xiao Lingyan can do it by asking his father for an errand to stay away from the capital.
This is better than helping Xiao Lingpu to take the top position and being suspicious of him.
Xiao Lingyan shook his head: "It shouldn't be, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to assist him in the first place, but chose to stay away from the capital." But people change. When he sits in that position, it's hard to say if it will be like this. ”
He sighed and shook his head: "This is also a matter of no way. Who else can rest assured but that I will sit in that position myself? ”
"As for the ......," he pointed to heaven, "he will not succeed in his reign." As long as the throne remains uncertain, the struggle cannot be stopped. That's not as good as the second brother. ”
Zhao Ruxi nodded.
Xiao Lingyan looked at her: "Do you want me to sit in that position?" ”
"Whatever you want."
Zhao Ruxi naturally didn't want it. But I have had such a boyfriend in two lifetimes, and I hope to live with him for the rest of my life. What to do? Pampered.
"You want to sit and I'll support you; You don't want to sit, let's take it easy and be on guard after your second brother takes the position, and it will be fine. You didn't use gunpowder when you were at the border, didn't you just want to keep a hand? ”
Both of them are top students, have strong memory, and are not dead readers, they have read all kinds of miscellaneous books, and they know a lot of messy knowledge. Especially for someone like Xiao Lingyan who likes military channels, she doesn't believe that he doesn't remember a few recipes for black powder in his head.
