Chapter 254: Master and Apprentice Meet Again, Who Is the Prince?
Trample! A crisp footstep sounded in the study. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I don't know when, a man in white has stepped into this imperial study, but no one has noticed it, as if this imperial study, which is located in the depths of the palace and guarded by at least hundreds of elite Ouchi guards around it, is the study of a rich man in the countryside, and he can come and go as he pleases.
Yang Kang didn't look up, he also knew who this person was. In fact, since he heard this voice, he knew who it was.
Gu Xiao looked at the rare and somewhat decadent Yang Kang in front of him, and said lightly: "What? Do you feel like you can't face your son? ”
"Huh!" When Yang Kang heard this, he let out a chuckle, and the majesty appeared on the body of this generation of male lords who dominated the world and established an immortal hegemony, he raised his head, and the majesty he showed was not inferior even in the face of Gu Xiao, and he could completely resist the courtesy, "Master, you are laughing." ”
The emperor has no regrets!
Just as Gu Xiao himself has never regretted it, Yang Kang has never regretted it!
Yang Kang looked at Gu Xiao, who he hadn't seen for more than ten years, but was still so young, a ray of surprise crossed his eyes, and said lightly: "I don't deny it, I am indeed sorry for him." It's just that I don't think there's anything I can't do with him. At this point, I know very well that there are some things that cannot be turned back. ”
"You can understand this, it proves that you have understood the essence of the emperor." Gu Xiao heard Yang Kang say this, and nodded approvingly.
It was Wan Yanyu who drove away Hua Zheng back then!
At that time, although Yang Kang had already grasped most of the power of the Jin Kingdom, he still needed the support of the Jurchen nobles. And in that case, Mo said that Yang Guo was not born at that time, even though he was already born at that time. Wan Yanyu wants to drive Hua Zheng's mother and son away, and he won't say anything!
Yang Kang said this, proving that he had understood the essence of the emperor - ruthless!
The emperor has always been the most ruthless person in this world, there is no one! I'd rather bear the world's people, don't let the world's people bear me! This sentence has always been a true portrayal of any qualified emperor.
When Yang Kang heard Gu Xiao say this, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Is it a fluke that I can sit on this throne?" ”
"I don't know how long it's been since I've had a good night's sleep over the years. Even when I was sleeping, one of my eyes was open. In the end, Yang Kangna had grown a beard, and his face full of majesty was full of self-deprecation and loneliness.
Gu Xiao said lightly: "What kind of choice you make, you should bear the consequences of the choices you make." Since you have chosen to ascend to the throne, you must learn to endure loneliness. ”
"I know!" Yang Kang sighed.
Gu Xiao looked at Yang Kang and asked, "Kang'er, along the way, I also have a certain understanding of the situation you are facing now. Now, your eldest son and second son are fighting for the throne, and they are forming their own factions in the court. However, you have not expressed your position for a long time, and the old man wants to know, who do you want to succeed? ”
Gu Xiao's words can be described as earth-shattering, instantly dispelling the loneliness on Yang Kang's face, and coldness appeared on his face.
There are obviously only the two of them in this imperial study, and the two of them stay in this spacious imperial study, which will not look dull at all. It's just that when Gu Xiao said this, the atmosphere in this imperial study suddenly became extremely dull, as if he was in the middle of summer.
Yang Kang looked at Gu Xiao, a pair of bright eyes staring at his pair of sword eyes.
Facing Yang Kang's eyes, Gu Xiao did not dodge or dodge, and also looked over.
Two masters and apprentices, two pairs of eyes.
In Yang Kang's eyes, there was only endless calculation and scrutiny, and he looked at Gu Xiao in his eyes, as if he was looking at an intruder who suddenly invaded his territory, without the slightest warmth, let alone the slightest respect for his master, only coldness and chill.
Contrary to Yang Kang, in Gu Xiao's sword eyes, there was only a calmness, there was not the slightest hostility in his eyes, as if he was looking at an irrelevant person, not as if he had just asked an emperor for a sentence that could scare people to death, there was no trace of power in his eyes.
Yang Kang looked at Gu Xiao, he didn't find anything in his eyes for a long time, Fang said, "Master, do you know?" None of my ministers dared to ask me this question! ”
Gu Xiao said calmly: "But I am not your minister, let alone a person in the officialdom, and your sons have no stake in me. To put it mildly, no matter who your sons succeed to the throne, it makes no difference to the old man. ”
"Really?" Yang Kang's face showed scrutiny and playfulness, "Don't you want to support Yang Guo to succeed to the throne?" You know, that dragon is your daughter, and I think you must want your daughter to become the queen of the future motherhood! ”
Yang Kang pointed out very simply that he knew the fact that Long'er was Gu Xiao's daughter.
Hearing Yang Kang say this, Gu Xiao's expression did not change in the slightest, he didn't expect to be able to hide it from Yang Kang! Just ask, he can know the wind and grass on the rivers and lakes, so how can Yang Kang not know the things on the rivers and lakes! Therefore, Yang Kang knew that Long'er was his daughter, and he was not surprised.
Gu Xiao said lightly: "Of course the old man thought about it, but he was given up by the old man. ”
Yang Kang clasped his hands on his chest and asked, "Why did you give up?" ”
Gu Xiao didn't answer Yang Kang's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Kang'er, you say, is there a darker and bloodier place in this world than the palace?" ”
"Nope!" Yang Kang said very bluntly, "Killing people on the battlefield is killing people with swords, and killing people in officialdom is killing people with tongues and pens." But the women in the harem killed people in a strange way, and there was no blood in the real sense of murder. Their methods of killing, at times, make me shudder! ”
He said what he was telling the truth, thinking of the women in his harem who were sweet and sweet on the surface, but secretly calculating each other, he really felt that he couldn't accept it.
Gu Xiao said: "Since the palace is the darkest and bloodiest place in the world, then how could I let my daughter enter this palace?" When the old man is here, he may be able to protect her for a while, but he can't protect her for a lifetime! ”
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Hearing Gu Xiao's words, Yang Kang keenly grasped the potential meaning of Gu Xiao's words, 'His time is running out', he was happy in his heart, but his face was shocked, and he asked.
Gu Xiao was very insightful of Yang Kang's psychology, sneered in his heart, but said on his face: "It's nothing, it's just that the old man can only stay in this world for more than ten years at most." It's really not far from the time the old man leaves this world. After the old man left, Long'er's safety was the most reassuring thing for the old man. ”
When Yang Kang heard this, he was slightly disappointed in his heart, he also thought that this old ghost was about to reach the limit, who knew that he was actually about to shatter the void. It's just that there was a bit of regret on his face, and he swore and promised: "Master, don't worry, the disciple will definitely make the little junior sister and Guo'er happy." ”
"Thank you then." Gu Xiao glanced at Yang Kang deeply and said in a deep voice.
Yang Kang's assurances are true, and so are his thanks. In addition, everything else is fake, which is something that the master and apprentice who haven't seen each other for more than ten years know each other in their hearts. Ever since Gu Xiao entered this imperial study, the master and apprentice have been testing each other, testing each other.
Yang Kang wanted to know if Gu Xiao had hidden ambitions and was eyeing his dragon chair! Gu Xiao wanted to know how Yang Kang planned to treat Yang Guo, and then test his attitude towards Long'er.
Fortunately, each other's temptations have a successful result.
There is no conflict between them!
Since there is no conflict, there are things that can be said.
Yang Kang looked at Gu Xiao, grabbed a book on his dragon case, and said with a wry smile: "Master, you just asked your disciple, who do you plan to pass on this dragon chair to?" To be honest, I couldn't make up my mind myself. The boss has an impatient personality, and although he is supported by most of the people in the court, his temperament is too violent. The second child's temperament is relatively calm, but he is also a little gloomy, and he likes to hide in the dark too much, so he is not suitable for standing up. As for the other three, they all have their own shortcomings, so I don't know who to choose. ”
Gu Xiao said: "Then what are you going to do?" The position of the prince must be decided earlier, otherwise, sooner or later there will be a big mess. ”
Yang Kang said helplessly: "Now, I can only watch it for the time being, but fortunately, I am not very old, I can wait until they are older, and then choose a suitable candidate from among them." As he spoke, he sighed deeply, apparently feeling a headache for his sons. (To be continued.) )
