In the hallway outside the house, the prince saw the priest who had come to drink with the second prince.

He is handsome, tall, and has a good foundation, he thought to himself. Pity...... In broad daylight, I thought about pleasure and wasted a good pair of skins.

But...... It's really a good match with the second brother.

Seeing him come out, the other party bowed down respectfully.

Ning Weiyuan didn't bother to talk, and strode past him.

......

"You're here. Ning Qianshi picked up the scroll that had just slipped to the ground, "Sit down." Crane, go pour a cup of hot tea!"

"Got it. The little girl's voice came from the back room.

"Your Highness is gracious. Fei Nian bowed and sat down across the table, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking for you just now......"

"It's just a chatter. Ning Qianshi smiled, and then looked at the painting with some regret, "It's just that this painting has to be done again." How's it going, what happened over there in Leizhou?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, it's all done. ”

"It is worthy of being the most outstanding generation of the Fei family, and it really deserves its name. By the way, what about the wine you brought?"

"Here it is. Fei Nian put the two bottles of porcelain jars he was carrying on the table, "Suzhou specialty Songchun, 30 years old, spicy and strong." ”

"Crane, bring two more wine glasses!"

"Your Highness, can you take it yourself, I'm not your maid!" protested Crane.

"No, thank you. ”

The back room suddenly fell silent.

After a while, the little girl walked up to the second prince with a teapot, and the wine glass was on her head.

"I knew you were going to help me. Ning Qianshi picked up the teapot with a smile, thought about it and put it aside, then put the wine glass in front of the two of them, and filled it with his own hands, "It's better to drink this first." ”

With a glass of white wine in his stomach, he let out a sigh, "Heh, this intensity really doesn't match the name...... If I came up with a name, it would definitely be Su Qiu. But the wine is indeed good, and you should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight. ”

"If you like it, it's fine. Fei Nian raised the corners of his mouth and said.

"This wine...... It's also the property of the Fei family, right? The thought of taking a sip and taking one sip less makes me feel a little reluctant in my heart. Ning Qianshi shook the cup, his eyes seemed to fall on the far end of the square, "When you passed through Suzhou, did you ever settle at home?"

Fei Nian's expression froze slightly, and he was silent for a moment before bowing his head slightly and saying, "I took a few people away." ”

"Loved ones?"

"And two other women, they're following me—"

Ning Qianshi stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "You don't have to explain, that must be someone you cherish." I'm not trying to blame you, but honestly, if you don't even go home, then I'm a little scared of you. ”

Fei Nian raised his head in some surprise.

"Why, do you think that the Privy Council should act impersonally and ruthlessly? As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, I personally don't mind that you have your own ideas—after all, Fang Shi is a human being, not a cold tool. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" Fei Nian was a little moved for a while.

"Tools are easy to use, but it's also easy to distinguish between friend and foe. Ning Qianshi retracted his gaze and fell on him, "Actually, I let you pass through Suzhou this time, and I also meant to let you tidy up your wings." Do you have any memorabilia for the Fei family?"

"It's settled. He replied decisively, "I am not a member of the Fei family, since the people who teach me and raise me are fine, what do I have to worry about? They recruit children who can feel angry around them not out of kindness, but to strengthen their power and profit for a small number of Fei family members." ”

"It's good that you can see that. The second prince approving, "This is the case, these families have been parasitic on many people since their birth, and their essence is just the product of the ancestors to stabilize the country and distribute benefits." It's a pity that the talent can't be inherited, even if it's a great alchemist, the descendants may just be ordinary people. What qualifications do they have to continue to enjoy the glory and riches, even above the sentimental?"

"There is no sin against you, or anyone else who bears the surname Fi. What I want to deprive is nothing more than a stubborn disease inherited from the Fijian surname. This world is supposed to be inhabited by the capable, just as it was a hundred years ago. ”

Fei Nian hesitated, "All the families...... Will they all be eradicated?"

Ning Qianshi bowed slightly, showing affirmation.

"Then who will summon the new people in the world in the future?"

"Of course, the Privy Council is responsible for training and management. The second prince said as a matter of course, "This should have been the responsibility that we should shoulder, if it wasn't for the great losses in the battle to eliminate the evil, I wouldn't have let the family go all the way to this point." ”

"I see. Fei Nian nodded.

"I know what you're worried about. Acting too fast, without buffering and adaptation, it is easy to leave disadvantages. But time waits for no one, and the Privy Council can't figure it out. Ning Qianshi paused, "In fact, we are already lagging behind. ”

"Enemy...... Is it that strong?" he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"It's not a question of whether we're strong or not, it's that once we lose, we never have a chance to get back. This is not the same as the previous campaigns, and the Privy Council must give it its all. Ning Qianshi drank the remaining wine in the cup, "Okay, I may also go to Suzhou in the future, if there is anything in Shangyuan City, you can write to report to me." ”

"Are you leaving Suzhou?" Fei Nian said in surprise, "Please forgive me for being rude, I heard on the way that the Holy Lord is in poor health, if you are not in Gyeonggi, if something happens in the palace, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—"

"That's better. After all, my eldest brother has a knack for marching and fighting, and leaving him in Gyeonggi is the best option. If he wants to do something, let him do it. After all, the chair in the Taihe Hall should have belonged to him. ”

"Your Highness...... I don't understand. Fei Nian frowned, "Why don't you simply replace it, but use such a complicated method to let the armies of Gao and Xu go to great lengths to coordinate this plan?"

"In order for the world to see the end result, but also to break the cycle of royalty. Ning Qianshi said calmly, "If I just replace him, it will be just a usurper in the eyes of the world. Only by doing so can they completely dispel the unrealistic extravagance in their hearts. Remember, this is not my own idea, but a decision made by "us" together. ”

Fei Nian still didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party's words, but he knew that it was just because he couldn't see His Highness so far, and silence was the best response at this time.

Ignorance is not a shame for alchemists.

"Ah...... There is one more thing," Ning Qianshi tapped lightly on the table and said, "I remember that you and Luo Qing are from the same examination room?"

"Yes. Fei Nian quickly remembered the name - after all, there were not many people who could impress him in Qingshan Town, "What's wrong with her?"

"I'm in a bit of trouble. The second prince roughly described the situation, "At present, it seems that my fourth brother does not want to let go. ”

"Do you want me to stop it?"

Ning Qianshi shook his head, "If she can't get out of this strife, it's just a matter of proving her ability." The Privy Council is not a caretaker, but more of a screener, so there is no need for this. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"Considering the asymmetry of status, you can just give a little reminder. The second prince said softly, "After all, Luo Qingqing has been in the top ten of the list, so it should be regarded as the compensation she deserves." As for how far she can go in the end, it is her own business after all. ”
