Facing the Xuannu's questioning, Zhuang Xun's expression lost his smile, his expression became serious, and he looked squarely at the Xuannu's eyes as bright as stars.

"Because I want to see people as individuals." Zhuang Xun took a deep breath and said word by word, showing his determination.

"I saw the glory of the Zhao State, the people were not clothed, I saw the poverty and luxury of the nobles, the nobles could not use up the fabrics, and they used them as obstacles, but the common people did not dare to go out because they couldn't wear clothes, this country is not a country where I can enjoy myself with peace of mind."

Zhuang Xun showed anger, he didn't think he could be very conscious, but he still felt that he couldn't suppress his anger when he saw this kind of behavior.

"The country that can make me feel at ease and enjoy it, not to mention that the people must really be wealthy, but at least they must not worry about two things, not worry about food and clothing, even if they don't eat meat, eggs and milk, and wear silk and satin, but they can basically guarantee people's survival."

Zhuang Xun loves pleasure, labor is not happy, and suffering is not worthy of praise in his opinion, who wants to suffer, trouble the person who says this to suffer.

But he can't stand it with this kind of people's fat and people's ointment to enjoy himself, and he can't stand it even more when he sees such a group of insects governing the country, they may be very capable and expect the enemy to be thousands of miles, but their position, Zhuang Xun is very hateful, because he has not been alienated.

He was still very naïve, in his opinion, he could not carry out the industrial revolution like those geniuses, and he should also be a virtuous and benevolent emperor to ensure that the people did not have to worry about food and clothing.

"......" listened to Zhuang Xun's words, Xuannu's expression was slightly sluggish, looking at Zhuang Xun speechless, probably because she didn't expect Zhuang Xun's determination to be so strong.

"I know that Niangniang is for my good, the strength of Zhao and Xia is like a difference between cloud and mud, as long as I don't do anything, I will have endless glory and wealth, endless beautiful wives and concubines, endless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I don't have to fight with the powerful Zhao State, I can be crowned king, I really disappointed Niangniang and your kindness."

Zhuang Xun's mouth spit out apologies, he is indeed grateful to the Xuannu in some aspects, and this kind of kindness can be scolded without conscience.

Zhuang Xun didn't know that he was the protagonist, and in the face of the sword saint's sword saint's sword, he finally went to choose an unknown boxing glove, and finally found out what the emperor's boxing gloves were.

If you have logic, you know that Xuannu is for his good, knowing that he has little desire for power, knowing that he can't beat Zhao Guo, and giving him a chance to surrender, this opportunity is lost to King Donghua, and these people will be grateful to Dade, so Zhuang Xun feels guilty, he wasted Xuannu's kindness.

However, he does not regret it, because he has defended his last conscience, in this world where death has a backdrop, he can't maintain his bottom line, so Zhuang Xun feels that he has really crossed in vain, and he is not as good as a local native.

"But what about the people, I have a good heart, I can't see the people of the world who are not clothed, hungry, can't see them being enslaved, and finally have no dignity as human beings, since they are reincarnated as human beings, not animals without intelligence, I want to give them some basic survival ability and dignity."

Zhuang Xun let out a long sigh after speaking, maybe helpless, or awakened, and then stubbornly added: "I may fail and die, but I can't help but do it, and I can't do it, so I may not be myself." ”

The Xuannu still didn't speak, but there was no grief and indignation in her eyes that Zhuang Xun didn't know the hearts of good people, and she understood.

"What can you change, people are such a species, from the day they were born, this is the norm, gather wealth and form a family, one family declines and another family is born, you seize Kyushu, how can you guarantee that your children and grandchildren will not become like this?"

Xuannu said lightly, a little sad, I have seen too much, so I don't seem surprised, the children of good people are not necessarily good people, the children of bad people are not necessarily bad people, no matter how perfect the system, the carrier of implementation is also people.

"So I never ask for eternal rule, my child has lost the hearts of the people, then he should be overthrown, instead of choosing to keep it because maybe the next dynasty will be worse, and I can't think that the family is reasonable because the family will be generated, 10,000 years is too long, I just want to fight for the day, I just want to be under my governance, the people can not worry about both."

Zhuang Xun responded positively, because he was thinking in his heart, so he was upright, he knew that he was right, or he thought he was right in his heart.

“…… Did you go to Zhao to have such an idea? Xuannu's tone did not fluctuate in particular, so that Zhuang Xun didn't know how her mood was.

"I saw it at the foot of Genting Mountain, just under the royal city, people are not clothed, this is at the foot of the royal city, I never thought that people could be so bitter, it shouldn't be like this."

Zhuang Xun was silent, and now that he thinks about it, he still feels hateful, and at the same time he is powerless, because this is a strong country in Kyushu.

"It really shouldn't be like this, heaven is noble, humanity is expensive, what you said is not wrong, the idea is very good." Xuannu agreed, and she stretched out her jade hand and touched Zhuang Xun's cheek in Lan Qiu's stunned expression.

"This is hitting the south wall, you have no chance of winning, maybe your subordinates, your wives and concubines will be affected by your decision, because you basically can't win, it is likely that they will not die well, you know the gap in the national strength of the two sides."

Xuannu said gently, she is very happy that Zhuang Xun has this kind of thought, she doesn't hate it, who likes a single husband and a thief, she just puts the cruelest reality in front of Zhuang Xun.

"I know that I have decided their fate by myself, but I don't regret even if I hit the south wall, I don't talk about the small self and the big self, I have been with them for my wives and concubines, and I will not be stingy with rewards for my subordinates, and I will do my best, so that I can calmly face Yama when I get to the underworld."

Zhuang Xun could feel the relaxation of the Xuannu's attitude, so his gaze shifted, the Xuannu's gentleness made him uncomfortable, and the Xuannu's attitude was also weird, and he didn't know how to respond.

"Now that you've made your decision, so be it." Pinching Zhuang Xun's face, Xuannu smiled, her smile was like a warm spring breeze, a warm drizzle of dry heat.

"Niangniang......" Zhuang Xun shouted, holding the hand of the Xuannu, he felt that the Xuannu was going to leave him.

"Don't be like a puppy who can't find its owner, you've found your way, it's time for us to go our separate ways, I can't satisfy your ambitions."

Xuannu's hand held by Zhuang Xungai continued to knead Zhuang Xun's face, as if she was feeling something different, and she didn't use any force, it was cold and cold.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhuang Xun was a little sad, and the words of parting ways were like a dagger into his heart.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, it's your ambition, it's just that I can't defend you anymore, you've consumed all my protections for you."

The Xuannu's face was sad, and her pitiful little appearance made Zhuang Xun strange and distressed, because this was the first time he had seen the Xuannu.

"I know, my thoughts are very impulsive and naïve, and I have failed your kindness, I'm sorry."

Zhuang Xun sincerely apologized and said that Xuannu's resolute words made him uncomfortable, he didn't regret it, it didn't mean that he didn't feel guilty, after all, in a sense, he only entrusted Xuannu's blessing to make people relax their vigilance.

"It's all said, don't say I'm sorry, your decision is right, it's a pity that I'm going against you, because I'm already bound to the national fortune of Zhao State."

Zhuang Xun's apology can be distinguished from false, Zhuang Xun came to Zhao Guo once and even strengthened his ambition, which Xuannu could not imagine, but they were already enemies, and Xuannu seemed resolute.

"What you said is very good, you have done a good job of giving the people the dignity of survival, I also see Jiannan in my eyes, you have convinced me, there is no problem with your choice, the problem is that I have already chosen Zhao State, and we are enemies."

Xuannu's smile was completely cold, she had already stood in line, and if she chose Zhao Guo, there was no way to change it, but even if she was given a chance to choose again, she would choose Zhao Guo, because she wanted to be detached.

"Mother, I'...... Does it have to be an enemy? ”

Zhuang Xun shook his head lightly, looking pitiful, feeling the cold fingers of the Xuannu, she just came here from the wind and snow, didn't she rest.

"Zhao Guo has the most hope of unifying the world, you can't win, besides, I have already made a choice, I can't change it, I am already the national teacher of Zhao State, I can't help you."

Xuannu listened to Zhuang Xun's bold words, and calculated the winning rate, Zhuang Xun was still pitiful, not to mention that she had already made a choice, how could she allow people to jump sideways repeatedly, Ge Laodao was half-dead because of the change of dynasty, not to mention jumping ship, or jumping to Zhuang Xun's small tree.

"Mother, I'm sorry to make you angry, I'm sorry ......"

"It's all said, I'm not sorry, I'm not angry with you, I don't blame you, you did the right thing, giving the people dignity, keeping them fed and clothed, it's a great merit, I can't help you, I'm sorry for you."

Xuannu smiled bitterly, Zhuang Xun's idea was naïve and romantic, if she fought for the dragon last time or last time, she might have been convinced, but this time, she had already stood in line, and decided to detach.

So she wants to help Zhao Guo win this battle, even if she thinks that there is no problem with what Zhuang Xun said, she also likes Zhuang Xun to love the people so much.

"Niangniang thought of a way to protect me, but I wasted it, this is my own choice, no matter what, I won't blame Niangniang, I brought it upon myself to be an enemy of Niangniang."

Zhuang Xun felt that Xuannu had done her best to him, so he would not be surprised that Xuannu was angry, and after Xuannu showed no mercy, he would not resent it.

"I will also try my best to protect you, don't get your hopes up, you played King Zhao and the minister of Zhao State, and I can't protect you."

Xuannu said out loud, after all, she didn't have a ruthless heart, saying that she parted ways, but her heart was soft in the end, who called Zhuang Xun's ambition so high, Zhuang Xun was not a gloomy careerist, but she just had a sincere heart, which was exactly what she liked.

Xuannu's heart had already concluded that Zhuang Xun would lose, and from her experience, the possibility of Zhuang Xun winning was infinitely close to zero, and she didn't want to say such soft words, but she still said it.

"I know, since I have chosen this path, I understand your position, and I also have my position, thank you Niangniang."

Zhuang Xun also smiled, making sure that Xuannu was not angry, and could even say such affectionate words, this was not to forgive him.

"You really follow the pole and climb up, I'm not right, I shouldn't have taken you captive to Zhao State, but let you see some darkness."

Xuannu let go of the jade hand that caressed Zhuang Xun's cheek, pulled out the jade hand from Zhuang Xun's palm, and looked at Lan Qiu.

"Did you do it intentionally or accidentally?" After all, Zhuang Xun was handed over to Lan Qiu at the beginning, and Zhuang Xun could see these things, and Lan Qiu had to bear a lot of responsibility.

"Don't blame her, I found it everywhere, why, the darkness doesn't let people see, do you think it's normal to be dark?"

Zhuang Xun stood in front of Lan Qiu to defend him, and he was not wrong, he found it by scurrying around, and it was not deliberately guided by Lan Qiu.

"In my opinion, light and darkness are like yin and yang, do you think there will be a world where there is only light?" Xuannu naturally knows what the world is like, and she has a set of theories to convince herself.

"There is no world with only light, and there is no world with only darkness, human nature is like this, exploiting loopholes, deceiving the upper and lower, although I like light, so I like people like you, but I also admit that darkness, darkness cannot be eliminated."

Xuannu's values on social issues are mature, she prefers Zhuang Xun's ideas, and she is willing to support it if she doesn't have a position, but she has a position, although Zhao has a problem, but it is still within her acceptable range, it has been like this for tens of thousands of years, and the upper layer has pressed the bottom and has not changed.

It's not that it's right since ancient times, it's just that for Xuannu, she has staked the national fortune of Zhao State, and naturally it is for the sake of Zhao State, eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king.

Zhuang Xun felt unbearable, because he came from a modern country, the material culture is quite rich, and he himself has participated in poverty alleviation work for a period of time.

But for Xuannu, it has been like this for tens of thousands of years, she can understand Zhuang Xun's aspirations and ambitions, wish him, and forgive him, but she doesn't mean that she can give up the Zhao country, which is far above the Xia country, not to mention that she can't give it up.

"You are willing to be the flame that illuminates the darkness, and I will not stop it, but I am used to the darkness, so it is not a fault to let you see the darkness? Because it will make you burn yourself, the world is too dark for you to shine. ”

Xuannu said pityingly, her perspective is obviously more macroscopic, quite a feeling of pulling to the dimension of the universe, and the earth is just a speck of dust.

"But it wasn't she who let me see the darkness, it was I who made her see the light, Niangniang was my way to make her stand with me, she helped me because of my choice, not because I was guided by her."

Zhuang Xun helped up Lan Qiu, who was still kneeling on the ground, Lan Qiu was the one who wanted to see the light.

"What a brightness, but the spring heart ripples." Xuannu was unceremonious.
