Qin Xun put his left hand on his heart, and tilted his head slightly: "Qi Jing, in fact, you are very much like Your Majesty, both in appearance and temperament. He stroked his right hand all the way up from Qi Jing's abdomen, stopped at Qi Jing's usual thin lips that were smiling shallowly, rubbed the shape of his lips back and forth with his fingertips, and added, "I mean, the character hidden under your expression." ”

Qi Jing didn't say a word, but he also raised his right hand, grabbed Qin Xun's chaotic right hand, turned it over, closed his eyes and lightly printed his lips on the back of his white hand.

Qin Xun laughed softly, and exhaled into Qi Jing's ear: "Qin Xun is fortunate to be very special with you. ”

It was already the end of the hour, and after bathing, Qin Xun stared at Qi Jing and drank a small bowl of medicine before letting him lie down. The lights in the inner room went out, and he and Qi Jing lay on the bed together, both because they had not been awakened for a long time, and they were not very tired.

Qin Xun joked: "Look, I said it casually during the day, but it turned out that I was really staying at your place tonight." ”

"Why didn't you come to bed and sleep on the couch?" Qi Jing followed his natural sticky movements and hugged him into his arms.

"You were sick then, and I was afraid to frighten you."

Qi Jing tucked his hair together, and suddenly asked, "You have been back for so many days, can you send a letter to the villa to report your safety?" ”

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment, and said honestly with a guilty face: "I forgot." ”

"You're ......"

Qin Xun knew that he was at a loss, so he flatteringly drilled into his arms.

I was reluctant to leave that day, but now I have only been away from Jiangnan for a month, but I don't take the initiative to remember, I am indeed a little colder, maybe it shouldn't be like this, I should hurry up and write a letter to Jiangnan after returning home tomorrow.

"By the way, where did you throw away the book commentary on Zhixing during the day?"

"Put it in your study, you haven't recovered from your illness, and you still read some commentary, and then tell me to see that you are so busy with other people's affairs, I will take the booklet and use it on the stove when decocting medicine." Qin Xun half-truthfully said a cruel word.

"Don't mess around like that." Qi Jing said softly, thinking of Qi Heng, he remembered to ask Qin Xun again, "You've been back for a while, but have you planned when to re-enter the Imperial Library?" ”

"When I came back, His Majesty allowed me to rest until the beginning of spring next year, saying that I was away from home for too long, let me adapt to Chang'an, no matter what he said, I don't have to rush to study every day, I am happy to be idle." Qin Xun was in a good mood when he talked about this, and said, "But I heard that my younger brother in my family will enter the Imperial Library after the Mid-Autumn Festival, that child's temperament is a little dull, and the eldest brother and second brother are now both weak and have taken official positions and no longer study in the Imperial Library, and it will take a while to get used to the child alone." ”

Qi Jing naturally answered: "Do you need me to take care of one or two?" ”

"No, tell him to deal with it on his own." Qin Xun paused and said, "But don't worry too much, he is eight years old, he should be in the same group as those six, seven or eight years old who are also new to the Imperial Library, everyone is basically a newcomer, and there is no way to bully him." Even if he is bullied, he doesn't have to deal with it on his own, can the brothers protect him once or twice, and can they protect him all the time? ”

Qi Jing teased: "Your brother deserves to be a little kinder, I remember."

Someone had to ask me for all the trivialities at the beginning, for fear that I wouldn't know that you had been wronged. ”

Qin Xun was confident: "How can it be the same, being a brother can be a little kinder, but you are my little husband, you have to protect me if I suffer any grievances." He withdrew from Qi Jing's arms and stretched out under the futon, "Besides, trivialities are not strictly speaking, they are not grievances, what can really talk about bullying is the few exchanges with Qi Lang, Ah Hong's age and Qi Lang are definitely not the same batch of students as the same gentleman, and I basically can't meet him, I'm not worried." ”

"I just heard the elder mention that there is a younger brother in your family, but I didn't see it, is it called Qin Hong? Unwritten? ”

"Not yet, ask Qin Zhenhai to get one up before he enters the Imperial Library." Qin Xun thought about it for a while and said with disgust, "Forget it, go back and talk to the eldest brother, ask the eldest brother to give Ah Hong up, I don't know what kind of words he came up with." ”

Qi Jing smiled: "You don't always have to belittle General Qin like this. ”

He lay on his side in the direction of Qin Xun, and when he saw Qin Xun lying flat and the quilt slid to his chest, he stretched out a hand from the quilt and lifted it up for him, and Qin Xun grabbed his hand.

"By the way, Ah Hong is a little happy Danqing, last time I heard you mention, I see that the kid seems to have some admiration for you, and he should take him to see you, do you think it's good?"

"If you rejoice, I have no objection."

Qin Xun held Qi Jing's hand with both hands, squinting his eyes and smiling: "You can't help but indulge me too much." ”

Qi Jing smiled and reminded him, "Cover the quilt." ”

After Qin Xun pulled the quilt up and covered his neck, he buried himself in the quilt and pressed Qi Jing's hand on his chest with both hands, Qi Jing said: "Ah Xun, if you are not tired, you might as well tell me about the difference between courtiers and courtiers, what do you think." ”

"For example?"

"Lin Qin."

He said the word "Lin Qin", and Qin Xun instantly understood what he meant.

When bathing, Qin Xun said a sentence, "Dingguo Gong is the Dingguo Duke of Daqi, and An Guogong is His Majesty's An Guogong", thinking that Qi Jing had the intention to hear his detailed discussion.

Qin Xun smiled: "Do you really want to listen?" If I talk about this, I am afraid that it will be another tirade, and it will be a great rebellion. ”

Qi Jing is still a gentle "listen to me".

"Then I'll say it." Qin Xun raised his eyebrows, and said with a straight face, "The court is like a battlefield, promotion is like killing the enemy, and the idle people can't climb to a very high position, either they are extremely outstanding and cannot be ignored, and they can easily pass five levels and kill six generals by themselves, or their wrists are good at calculating and winning with the crowd." And at some point, the two can also be confused, and if you can have both at the same time, that person must be a superior and superior person. Talking about Lin Qin, let's not put the courtiers next to Daqi into the seat, but all in all, in the Daqi court, presumably the former is the majority, and there are few latters. ”

In addition, among the courtiers, there is another kind, that is, loyal ministers. A country and a dynasty are indispensable to loyal ministers, and they will never treat loyal ministers badly. place

In his private opinion, Lin Qin should be among the loyal ministers, so he is now supremely honored. Therefore, if you talk about Lin Qin, you are talking about loyal ministers, and you are talking about what kind of loyal ministers Lin Qin belongs to. ”

Qin Xun also turned sideways as he spoke, holding Qi Jing and motioning for him to move to his side.

"Do what?" Qi Jing asked.

"You move a little closer, it's warmer."

Qi Jing approached as he said, Qin Xun moved with satisfaction, changed his comfortable posture, and continued: "There are two kinds of loyal ministers, one is loyal to this dynasty, and the other is only loyal to the emperor of the current dynasty. In their hearts, the interests of the dynasty they are loyal to are far higher than those of the ruling emperor. Of course," he whispered in Qi Jing's ear, "Our ancestor is not included in the banner of choosing another virtuous lord to overturn Yin Jianqi." ”

After speaking, he stepped back a few points, staring at the expression on Qi Jing's face without blinking, Qi Jing still looked at him with a gentle smile, and did not make waves because of his rebellious remarks.

Qi Jing really indulged him, and it was precisely because Qi Jing was so indulgent and spoiled that Qin Xun dared to speak wildly in front of Qi Jing.

He suppressed his pleasure, and then continued: "The emperor's loyal ministers, attached to one or several specific emperors, their own life and death, honor and disgrace are tied to the emperor, with his dignitaries, with his decline, so such a courtier, compared with the loyal ministers of the dynasty, need to think more about one thing, that is, in the battle for the prince under the emperor's knees, where to stand, the correct position, the honor continues, but if the wrong position, it is a broken bone." The emperor's loyal servants must have good eyesight. ”

"My Guan Lin family is loyal to Daqi, and the Qin family is loyal to Jinshang, so I said that Dingguo Gong is the Dingguo Duke of Daqi, and An Guogong is His Majesty's An Guogong." He added a whisper in Qi Jing's ear, "This is also why, if the Imperial Ancestor Tiger Fu really survives, when the ancestor leaves half of it in the hands of his ministers, he will definitely choose to stay in the Lin family instead of the Qin family." ”

In front of Qi Jing, he spit out the words "Imperial Ancestor Tiger Talisman" without any scruples, and there was no need to refer to it with "that thing".

Seeing Qi Jing listening attentively to his discussion, Qin Xun's heart suddenly rose, and suddenly reached out from the mouth of the quilt to hold Qi Jing's face with both hands, smacked loudly on his lips, and said with a smile: "And Qin Xun is Qi Jing's loyal minister, my vision is naturally excellent!" ”

Qi Jing couldn't react and was taken advantage of by him, so he reluctantly pressed his hands back into the quilt, and said gently: "Can you still talk about it?" ”

"Yes, why not." Qin Xun retreated, leaned out his hands from the bed again, nodded with one hand to the palm of the other, and said with a casual smile, "The loyal ministers of the dynasty and the loyal ministers of the emperor, this is divided into two, and if you discuss the two in detail, they can be divided into two." ”

"The loyal ministers of the dynasty, one is benevolent and gentle, peaceful and persuasive, this is the emperor's preferred ministers, and he will always treat each other with good words, and the Lin family is this; The second is to speak out, pointing directly at the emperor's loss, this kind of depends on the emperor's appetite, if the emperor loves his outspokenness, it is also a monarch's holy minister

If the emperor feels unhappy, he is likely to offend the emperor and die. ”

"The emperor's loyal ministers, one is a good minister who has worked hard to assist the emperor so that he can hold the power, the emperor is relieved to entrust the important task, and the world is also convinced, and the Qin family is here; The second is to be a lackey for the emperor who is unscrupulous, and the emperor is relieved to make it a blade, but he is often criticized by the world, which has become a so-called traitor. ”

Qi Jing smiled, and led him down and said, "So Ah Xun thinks that the traitor can be tolerated?" ”

"Hmm." Qin Xun affirmed without hesitation and explained, "Whether you are a traitor or not is up to the emperor. For a dynasty, it is natural to only tolerate good ministers and not traitors, which is not to be discussed, but for a king, he needs traitorous ministers. ”
