"Among the emperor's loyal ministers, good ministers and traitorous ministers are actually just the light and dark sides of this king, the bright side is a good minister, and the dark side is a traitorous minister, and the court does not allow traitorous ministers, but in terms of the king's selfishness, he allows, not only allows, he even needs." Qin Xun smiled with some undisguised contempt, "When an emperor is an emperor, he always has to flaunt himself as virtuous, so he wants to do such dirty things that he can't do openly, so he will hand them over to his loyal traitors." ”

"What does Ah Xun think of the traitorous chaos?"

"The emperor is useless." Qin Xun did not hesitate to make a conclusion, "All the traitors of the dynasty are from the traitors of the emperor, no matter how the traitors are rampant, as long as the emperor controls them, they will always be the traitors of the emperor, but if the emperor is useless, he can't control it, let him take power, and become the traitor of the dynasty, then the ten ** of this country will be exhausted." For the monarch, the mind must be clear, but you can follow the trend, but you must not be led by the nose by any party. You must know that people's greed is endless and endless, once the emperor allows the courtiers to encroach on power, one day they will be unwilling to be ministers and drive the useless emperor off the dragon chair. ”

"However, even if you follow a talented king, the position of a traitor is not so easy to sit, who can be a good official who is willing to take on a traitorous infamy to attract criticism from the world, and throughout the ages, whether it is the emperor's traitor or the traitor of the court, its fate is miserable, no one is a fool, unless there are really so many people who know that there are tigers in the mountains and are biased towards the mountains, and they are willing to break the jar and break but seek the supreme honor for a while. But," Qin Xun frowned, and his speech was no longer as bright as when he was talking about things before, and he said a little heavily, "It is precisely because few people take the initiative to take on this important responsibility, especially in times of peace and prosperity, so at this time, some less moral kings will often personally send so many courtiers to the position of traitorous ministers for their own selfish desires." For example, General Chu Zhenggong, who died many years ago, was not a good minister? In the end, he died of a criminal minister who listened to slander and misgoverned the government and killed the loyal and good, and he really traced back to the source, but because he was unfortunately chosen by the current saint and pushed down the dark situation from the bright side with his own hands. ”

"It's a long story." Prince Qi Jing, after listening to his remarks that must not be outsiders, he was in a good mood, "It seems that you haven't really spent six years in Pingzhou." ”

"Naturally, the third prince of Qin is as clean and self-guarding as jade, which is as ridiculous as those second ancestors of the mixed world." Qin Xun boasted without changing his face.

"The palace maid with long nails, the Oiran of Manfangting, and the daughter of the household department who asks for marriage, can the third prince of Qin give an explanation to his husband one by one?"

Qin Xun's face stiffened, and he pulled the quilt spinelessly and buried himself in the quilt.

Qin Zichang, this stinky king eight!

Qin Xun's face was buried in the silk soft brocade quilt, grinding his teeth and scolding his eldest brother.

Jinyang Wang Uncle Yin Zijin would not betray him so immorally, and he also wanted to kill him when Qin Huai finished eating the fresh meat mooncakes he made, which was a joke and nonsense, who knew that it was actually true.

Qi Jing got up slightly and overcame, forbearance

Laughing and picking up his quilt: "What's the matter, Qin Sangongzi, when he boasts, he is not upright and straightforward, what are you hiding from now?" ”

Qin Xun showed a pair of eyes from the quilt, and said dejectedly to Qi Jing's deep black eyes that were faintly glowing in the room at night: "It seems that the cake I made is really too unpalatable." ”

"What does it have to do with bread?"

"I made a cake and bribed my eldest brother to tell him not to tell you, eighty percent of him was unpalatable and didn't accept my affection." Qin Xun looked at Qi Jing's expression as he spoke, deliberately diverting the topic of Fang Cai elsewhere.

Qi Jing knew it, and he deliberately followed him: "Okay, why are you suddenly interested in cooking?" ”

Qin Xun succeeded, and hurriedly released his mouth and nose out of the quilt to breathe, bent his eyes and smiled: "It's approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to toss some food out to give it to the old ones, if you like it, I will make Jiangnan food for you one by one in the future." When I was in Hung Hung Villa, I went to the cafeteria to help the cooks and aunts, and they liked me. ”

In fact, the cook's uncles and aunts think that this young man is pleasing and pleasing, but the so-called help is purely to add to the chaos, Lu Feng once exaggerated and derogated Qin Xun to cook a meal that can smoke people and animals within a radius of ten miles from the canteen, and the uncles and aunts don't know how annoying he is secretly. Qin Xun selectively skipped this point and said to Qi Jing.

Qi Jing naturally responded to him: "Okay, but if you give it to the old ones, it's better to bother the cook to do it, you have always been pampered, don't be tired." "First, Qi Jing doesn't like Qin Xun to make food and give it to others, and secondly, ...... When he returned to the palace this morning, he happened to meet Qin Huai, who had just come down from the early dynasty, and Qin Huai, who was not very picky, showed that distorted expression when he mentioned it, thinking that it was better not to ask Qin Xun to poison others.

"By the way, Qi Jing, those two palace test champions in Jinghong Villa for six consecutive years and two terms, now have any positions?" Qin Xun thought about it carefully when he was talking about things, and now the top position of the Great Qi martial arts seems to be divided by the three families of Lin Qintang, and when it comes to Jinghong Villa, he can't help but think of the two martial champions who made Jinghong Villa famous many years ago, and it seems that Qin Xun did not leave too deep an impression.

"One is your uncle Lin Shangshu's former general Yunlu, named Guan Yannian, and the other was unfortunately killed in the battle against Beiyan a few years ago, which is really a pity."

Qin Xun was relieved to be reasonable, the one who went should be the first martial champion of Jinghong Villa, Qin Xun was still a child at that time, he didn't ask about political affairs, and he had no impression, but Guan Yannian's name was a little heard before he left home at the age of ten, and he was the new martial champion that year.

Therefore, after Lin and Qin's two old princes both stepped down from their military posts, Qin Zhenhai took over the post of Lin Tian's Grand Sima General, and Qin Ao's position of Deputy General Sima was vacant for 20 years, and there was no successor, and the emperor did not appoint him, so naturally no one dared to take the initiative to recommend his descendants to take the old post that the founding general had been.

It's just that I don't know if the emperor wants to keep such a military post vacant or make another plan.

Qin Xun stretched out his arm and pressed Qi Jing beside him: "Actually, I'm quite at ease now, waiting for death, and now I pay a lot of attention to the way of checks and balances, especially the elbow control relatives, so as far as the Qu family and the Tang family are in the middle of the day now, Your Majesty will not easily make a big move against Lin Qin." He said, covering his mouth

I yawned, it was the middle of the night, and after lying on the bed for a long time, I finally felt a little tired.

Qi Jing hugged him into his arms and coaxed him gently: "If you're tired, go to sleep." ”

Qin Xun closed his eyes, and continued to chant soberly: "When Queen Xiaohui was still alive, the Tang family and the Qu family were all relatives of the queen, and the queen and the queen mother were also considered to be a party, and later Queen Xiaohui passed away, and now the queen is in the middle palace, the relationship between the Qu family and the Tang family is a little delicate, and the queen Xiaohui is from the Qu family's wife, but the current queen is from the Qu family, so the current queen's help relatives are only the Qu family, and the Tang family and the queen mother treat the queen as the queen, I am afraid that it is difficult for outsiders to say." ”

"And Aunt Shufei, her hometown of Jinling, has no relatives in the court, if it is not for who helps her aunt, it can barely be referred to as the Lin family and the Qin family, and ...... Guan Yannian. ”

After Qin Xun entered Jinghong Villa, he understood another intention of his mother Lin Chu to send him here, Qin Xun's master, Bai Hui, the wife of the owner of Jinghong Villa, and Shufei Bai Jiang are distant cousins.

"However, because my aunt has no real relatives in her own family, Your Majesty can rest assured that she will be pampered, and he has also relaxed his hand and let Lin Qin stand on her side, in order to compete with the queen's party, so as to balance the power of the concubine." And the luck of Concubine Shu is that the courtiers she helped behind her are military generals and important ministers, so no matter how the Qu Youxiang family tilts the power of the government and the opposition, the queen does not dare not put Concubine Shu in her eyes, after all, since ancient times, military ministers have a weight.

"Qi Jing, after I came back, I went to Shanglin Yuan to see Zhaoyang, that girl seems to like the hussar general of the Tang family, Your Majesty let her go, is it intended to divide the Qu family and the Tang family? is already two big relatives, if they form a party, there will be constant trouble, so the aunt's daughter is allowed to get close to Tang Congji, but in this way, the relationship between the relatives of the two families of Tangqu and the generals of the two families of Lin Qin is much more complicated. ”

Qin Xun closed his eyes and said, there was a soft sleepiness when he spoke, Qi Jing patted him on the back funny: "Okay, okay, you can really stop talking about it at length, sleep, don't force it." ”

"A few more sentences, just a few words." Qin Xun was tired and restless, taking advantage of the strength of his body, he raised one leg and hooked Qi Jing's waist, "Such a thing that many people have speculated about, whether the death of Empress Xiaohui was an accident or His Majesty's intention to kill him, in fact, I think that there are both, maybe it was a real accident, maybe His Majesty also took advantage of the accident to take advantage of the situation, he would not allow his biological mother's relatives to take power, how can he allow his queen to form a party with his mother to gain power, he can tolerate a single composer, but he can't tolerate the same family of music and the Tang family." He sighed with tiredness, "Actually, he is a very suitable king, not to mention whether he is good or not, he is indeed suitable to sit on this throne." It's a pity that it's difficult to do both, he wants to be a suitable king, and it is inevitable that he will be cooler when he is related to him, but just saying that he is ruthless and resolute, I admire him a little. ”

After he finished speaking, he buried his head in Qi Jing's neck and was speechless, just when Qi Jing thought he was so tired that he fell asleep, he heard him speak with a coquettish voice: "Do you remember, when you were still in Jiangnan before, you still listened to me again."

If you talk wildly, you will never spare me, it's only been a month, why do you like to listen to my nonsense? You know these court things clearly in your own heart, and you want me to say it. ”

Qi Jing chuckled: "I like to see you talk eloquently." ”

In a daze, Qin Xun felt that these words were a little familiar, but before he could think about it, his consciousness was overwhelmed by a wave of tiredness.

Listening to his breathing gradually smooth and long, Qi Jing withdrew a little from his tight body, gently brushed away the broken hair on his neck, and his fingertips touched the healing arrow on his neck, and his eyes hidden in the dark night were as cold as an abyss.
