I've been writing about the dividing line for so long, but I rarely talk about this article, so I want to talk about it a few words today.

I found that some readers misunderstood King Jing. He is not stupid, nor is he simple, the integrity and principles he adheres to are not insisted on because he doesn't understand something, on the contrary, he knows the darkness of the palace very well, and he also knows what scheming is, he just doesn't want to be one of them, he is ashamed to do it, he not only adheres to his bottom line, but also listens to Xiaomei's advice and adapts. If his persistence is just because he doesn't understand, because he is simple, then he is not worthy of Xiaomei's cherishing so much. As for some adults who think that his kind will be calculated by the enemy country, I think it is strange, in addition to being upright, where does King Jing seem to be better deceived than others? He's not a white, he doesn't like to play tricks doesn't mean he doesn't have wisdom, Xiaomei communicates with him when he understands things, and he does what he arranges him to do very well, so far I haven't seen him deceived by anyone (don't say that he was deceived by Xiaomei, he has gained benefits from Xiaomei, and he knows very well that Xiaomei is definitely hiding his secrets, he just doesn't want to investigate at this stage, if you want to say that you were deceived, the other two princes are deceived in the pure sense), but why do you think he is stupider than the prince and King Yu? I'm depressed......

In addition, in my concept, the most precious quality of a successful emperor is definitely not scheming, not cleverness. The most important thing is to know people, make good use of them, value the people, and distinguish rewards and punishments. In this book, I try to convey this meaning.

By the way, one more sentence may be a sentence that will offend people, please don't say who is suitable to play Xiaomei in reality in the future (Xiaomei is my most precious child~~), because since it is a public figure, what some people like is likely to be what some people hate, and it is easy to cause disputes, even if there is no dispute, it will make people feel uncomfortable...... Well, I guess I'm hinting at it obviously...... Don't think it's me sensitive, I'm just uncomfortable, but there have been reader text messages expressing displeasure, so it's still necessary to remind me to advise. (By the way, why don't you just post back to express your opinion and ask for a text message?) ）

Regarding the word "unsatisfactory", Khan, I realized that I had missed a typing, and the sentence was supposed to be "If the quality of these chapters is not satisfactory enough, please forgive ......", I wanted to deepen my modesty, but in a trance, the meaning was reversed...... It is hereby corrected so as not to mislead readers.

——————————————————— this is a dividing line that most likely doesn't appear on the page————————

It seemed like it was supposed to be a calm night. There is no wind, no rain, the clear moonlight is soft and faint, covered with a layer of floating clouds as thin as a light veil, and there will be no white flowers shining on the window lattice. Mei Changsu slept very peacefully, no cough, and no chest tightness so that he had to get up in the middle of the night and sit for a while. This kind of sunny spring season, is suitable for sleeping, the indoor charcoal fire was just removed yesterday, the air is very comfortable, there is no sound of grass insects in summer and autumn outside, tranquil and peaceful, if there is no dream until dawn at night, it should be a good thing.

However, when Venus was fading and the east had not yet seen white, Feiliu suddenly opened his eyes and rolled over. The young man didn't put on his coat, only wore a snow-white middle coat and walked to a bookshelf in the northwest corner of the bedroom, tilted his head and listened, then turned around and came to Mei Changsu's bed, gently shaking his shoulders.

"Brother Su!"

Unless he was asleep, Mei Changsu had always been a light sleep, and after only shaking it twice, he woke up, half-opened his eyes in a daze, stretched out his hand to press his forehead, and his voice was still a little astringent: "What's the matter, Feiliu?" ”

"Knock!"

Even though Mei Changsu had always been able to understand all the meanings of Feiliu's simple words without error, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, sat up and sobered up for a moment before suddenly reacting to what he meant.

Hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, casually put a bunch of distributes, draped a mink cloak, took the warm tea handed by Feiliu and moistened his throat, and wiped his face with a cotton cloth towel, and then walked quickly to the bookshelf, and counted the dots with his toes on the smooth and traceless ground, and a narrow passage appeared on the west-facing wall for only one person to enter and exit. Feiliu was about to go first, but Mei Changsu grabbed him and said in a low voice: "If you don't come today, wait for Brother Su outside, okay?" ”

The young man showed a reluctant expression, but he still obediently obeyed the order, and stepped aside, Mei Changsu flashed into the passage, and somehow touched the mechanism inside, and the entire wall quickly returned to its original state. Feiliu dragged a chair and sat down, his two bright black eyes staring intently at the corner of the wall, waiting very seriously.

Mei Changsu entered the wall, took the night pearl lighting from his arms, urged the mechanism to sink a few feet, came to the entrance of a passage, turned and walked for a while, opened a stone door, inside is a simplely decorated stone room, furnished with commonly used tables, chairs and utensils, the oil lamp placed on the stone wall has been lit, under the yellow light, King Jing is wearing cyan civilian clothes, turned to Mei Changsu, who walked in slowly, and nodded to him.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Mei Changsu bowed slightly and saluted, and said: "His Royal Highness is called to come immediately, it is Su's duty, so why not be disturbed." It's just that I got up in a hurry, and I can't describe it well, so I ask Your Highness to forgive me. ”

King Jing was obviously preoccupied, but he still reluctantly showed a smile and raised his hand to signal Mei Changsu to sit down.

When he came to visit in the early morning, there must be something difficult, but when he met politely, it was obviously not an urgent matter to burn his eyebrows, so Mei Changsu also followed his instructions, and after slowly sitting down, Fang Xu asked: "Your Highness came to see Su, what do you want to discuss?" ”

King Jing twisted his two thick eyebrows, groaned for a while, and said, "Speaking of which...... This shouldn't bother Mr. Su, but it has nothing to do with what we're planning now. It's just that...... I really didn't have anyone to discuss, so I had to use my husband's wisdom bead. ”

"Since Su is the lord and monarch of His Royal Highness, then His Highness's business is Su's business, and there is no need to say anything irrelevant about it. Please make it clear to His Royal Highness that Su may have something to be effective, and he will do his best. ”

King Jing obviously expected his reaction, so he immediately smiled back and said in his tone: "Then I'll just say it." This afternoon, I entered the palace to say goodbye to my mother, and my sister Jingning came to look for me, and when we met, I cried and begged me to save her, saying that it was ...... Da Chu has a request for a delegation to enter Beijing next month, and if her father agrees, it seems that she is the only princess of the right age......"

"Marriage with Da Chu?" Mei Changsu thought for a while, "With the Nihuang County Lord sitting in the southern border, Liang and Chu are deadlocked with each other, and they have indeed not fought for many years. At this time, the marriage is repaired, although Da Chu is free to pacify Burma, but our Da Liang can also take the opportunity to rest the silver shortage in the past two years, which is also a good way. However, since it is a marriage, it should naturally be interconnected, we have a princess to marry, and they should also have a princess to marry, otherwise it will become our lord and relatives. If Da Chu came only to ask for marriage, His Majesty might not agree, but if they proposed that the princesses marry each other, His Majesty was afraid that eighty percent would agree. ”

King Jing looked at this person who immediately entered the state of a strategist with some tears and laughter, and sighed: "Mr. Su, I don't want to know how likely my father will agree, I want to ask if my father agrees to marry, is there a way not to let Jing Ning marry." You know, she has her own sweetheart......"

Mei Changsu stared at the small shadow in front of his toes, and looked at it for a long time before slowly shifting his gaze to King Jing's face: "May I ask Your Highness, how many princesses are currently of marriage age?" ”

King Jing was stunned, gritted his teeth and said, "Only Jingning ......"

"The prince and the county lord, can there be an unmarried person of the appropriate age who can be crowned a princess?"

“…… The brothers of the emperor's generation were scattered when they succeeded to the throne, and there were only three uncles left, King Ji, King Qian, and King Li, and their county lords were unmarried, and there were about three or four......"

"The county lord of Mingzhu has a weak disease of coughing up blood, and the county lord of Mingchen has a lame left foot; The lord of Mingrui County has been ordained as a monk for half a year; The lord of Mingying seems to have a madness. Since it is for the sake of marriage and repair, who do you think Your Majesty can crown these county lords? ”

King Jing didn't know much about the situation of the clan girl, but since Mei Changsu said this, he naturally couldn't be wrong, and his mood couldn't help but be heavier, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered a person, and said busily: "I remember that Uncle Liwang's family has a county lord of Mingjue, who is the same year as Jingning......"

Mei Changsu smiled coldly, "Don't do to others what you don't want." The lord of Mingjue and the first dynasty Dazai Nangong family had a young man in love, but because of the other party's mother's funeral before the engagement, it was temporarily postponed. There are many people in the capital who know about this matter, Your Highness, you were out of the army at the time, so you don't know. ”

King Jing listened dumbfoundedly, and the muscles on his cheeks jumped slightly: "According to Mr. Will, once the father and emperor allow the marriage, Jing Ning should have no room for maneuver?" ”

Mei Changsu's expression was indifferent, but there was some pity hidden in the depths of her eyes, and her tone was very cold: "Jing Ning is a princess, even if she doesn't marry, her marriage is destined to be uncontrollable, hasn't she faced this fact yet?" ”

"That being said, it's hard to cut the feelings. Guan Zhen has also been with me for a few days, and he is indeed a good young man, and I can't bear to see them being broken up. ”

"No matter how good Guan Zhen is, after all, he came from a humble background, and he doesn't have the ability to reach the heavens, how can the word 'Shang Master' not be his turn. Princess Jingning is in the royal family, should know what kind of love can she expect within the palace walls? With this reason, not only can you not convince Your Majesty, but it will also damage the princess's innocent reputation and bring trouble to Guan Zhen's entire family. So this favor, Your Highness, you can't help her, please comfort Concubine Jing more, don't talk about princesses, how many folk women can choose a son-in-law according to their own preferences? ”

King Jing sighed, "What you said, I don't know? But Jing Ning cried like that, I really pitied her infatuation, thinking that Mr. might have some tricks, so I came to discuss. ”

Mei Changsu glanced at him, and suddenly said, "Since you are talking about this, Your Highness, do you only think of Princess Jingning?" ”

King Jing was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing what he meant by this.

"If there is a princess in Da Chu who marries, she must marry the prince, and she must not be a side concubine, Your Highness thinks about it, who will marry?"

"Huh?!" King Jing immediately heard the meaning of his words, and couldn't help pressing the desktop, "Mr. is talking ......"

Mei Changsu said with a solemn face: "After all, Great Chu is an enemy country, and among the princesses of Chu State, I have not heard of any virtuous and famous people like a neon phoenix. His Majesty has always been suspicious, since His Royal Highness has the intention to take the heir, marrying a princess of an enemy country as a concubine is not a good thing after all, Su Mou has to try to block this peach blossom luck for His Royal Highness. ”

King Jing's expression perked up, "Since Mr. has a way to refuse to kiss me, how can Jing Ning ...... over there?"

"It's different, isn't it? Among the princesses, only Jing Ning is suitable to marry, but you are not the only candidate among the princes. The crown prince and King Yu already have concubines, and His Majesty would not have let the two of them marry the princess of the enemy country, so he removed the two of them. Among the rest of the people, although the Third Highness is slightly disabled, and the Fifth Highness is closed to study and ignores political affairs, they are all real princes, and they have not yet renewed. The more you look at the prince who has nothing to do with the succession to the throne like this, the more suitable it is to marry. Therefore, once Your Majesty agrees to kiss, he will definitely choose among the three of you. Before the marriage, you must first combine the eight characters, Princess Jingning's eight characters will be sent to Da Chu to combine, we can't do anything, but Princess Da Chu's eight characters will be sent here to let the people of Litianjian test the match, I can think of a way, so that the results of the test will go according to our wishes. It doesn't matter who marries her, as long as Your Highness, your eight characters don't match Princess Da Chu. ”

"Why, there are also people in the Litian Prison who obey Mr. Yu's orders?"

"I can't say I obey orders, but I ...... There are ways to do it. ”

King Jing's eyes were deep, and he looked directly at Mei Changsu steadily, "When Mr. Su first entered Beijing, he gave people the feeling that he was burdened by the fame of the 'Qilin Genius', and was forced by the two sides of the crown prince and the king. But now it seems that sir, you have prepared for a rainy day, and you have come prepared......"

Mei Changsu smiled indifferently and said calmly: "Su is conceited and talented, and he is unwilling to stoop to the rivers and lakes and do nothing. There is a way to help the country, the name of Ling Yan, has always been a man's ambition. If it weren't for the hard work and a little self-confidence, how could Su dare to rashly abandon the easy shortcut of the prince and the king of Yu, and decide to serve His Royal Highness wholeheartedly? ”

King Jing circled these words in his heart, neither could he tell whether he was true or false, nor did he want to really taste them. Mei Changsu is indeed wholeheartedly trying to assist him in ascending to the throne, Xiao Jingyan has never doubted this, but he still has confusion in his heart about the real reason why Mei Changsu finally chose him, but at this time, King Jing still has no deep obsession to find out the truth, after all, now is the time when the future is difficult, and there are too many more important things that need to be prioritized. To him, this inscrutable strategist was the sharpest sword in his hand, as long as it was used well, and he didn't really care how the sword was forged and why it came out of its sheath.

The secret room is not a tea house, and at this point, it is the end of the time, when there is no reason to continue to sit down and chat. Although the purpose of coming here was not achieved, King Jing himself also understood that Jing Ning had little hope of getting out, so although he was a little disappointed, he was not depressed. The two said goodbye lightly, and each went back to his room along the secret passage.
