Shunzhi said: "That's not the case, it seems that your suspicion and resentment towards me are indeed not small, but changing your decision is all for your own good." I naturally know that you are a gifted child, and if you are allowed to sit on this throne, you will become a more suitable king of a country than me. It has always been better than blue, and even if you do surpass me, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that once you become an emperor, your responsibilities are different, and you will be bound by a lot of constraints, trapped in a whirlpool of power, and you will not be able to get out. And around you, it is difficult to find loyal and assisted ministers, and some are just a group of minions who blindly strive for power and profit. This position seems to be supreme, but in fact it is the deepest pathet. When you find that there is no trustworthy person in the world, can you understand the most deeply depressed loneliness? Not only that, but you have to calculate every step to survive. When the burden of the whole world is on you alone, and there is a slight negligence in the country, it is you, the king, who are scolded by the people behind their backs. You will not live happily when everyone ignores your hard work and blames you for your hard work. I've tasted this life, and I can't get out of it right now, I just hope that I don't put my beloved son in this situation again. Sometimes it is not the most talented person who can really rule the world, but the person who is most suitable to sit on the throne. I hope you will understand my distress and understand what I am thinking about you. I feel that you are a freedom-loving child, and you should gallop between the mountains and rivers and live a carefree life. Maybe you're right, but you're not fit for the palace. ”

He spoke hard, but he failed to impress his son at all. Xuan Shuang raised his hand and "snapped", and finally controlled the force, but it still caused a crack to appear in the gold paint on the dragon chair armrest, spreading to the surroundings, looking extremely ominous. He said coldly: "Enough, are you pouring bitter water on me with peace of mind? You are not me, how can you impose your feelings on me? As for what I am suitable for and what I am not suitable for, you cannot judge me arbitrarily. Whether it's good or not, I won't know until I've experienced it myself! Do you think that everyone is like you, who has no intention of being the emperor, and would rather be in love with the mountains and rivers, or even do nothing for the rest of their lives?"

The change in Xuanshuang's appearance was already very different from a year ago, but now his words made Shunzhi feel that the distance between him and this child was getting farther and farther away. He said bitterly, "I don't know what you've been through this year. In the past, you were polite to others, and everyone praised you......" Xuanshuang interrupted, "but you should also know now that everything is just an illusion. Is it you or I who is dwelling on the past?"

Shunzhi said to himself: "Of all my sons, you are undoubtedly the smartest. I used to appreciate you the most, and now ......" paused, and said, "No exception. ”

Xuan Shuang sneered, as if he had really heard Shunzhi's words at this time, and laughed: "In the past, I pretended to be here for you everywhere to please you, and the person you admired was not so much me, but me, the 'perfect brother' in your heart." As for me now, it is only in my words and deeds that I truly express my own opinion. Such a person who has no respect for his superiors and does not distinguish between right and wrong should be the most annoying of those old feudal masters, right? Who will appreciate it? I once tried everything I could to please you in order to try to show myself in front of you, so that you could make me a prince. Now that the facts are there, and you've made it clear, I don't want to waste that amount of effort anymore. What's more, if the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect is still polite when he opens his mouth, even I am too fake. In fact, why do you want to come back to me? Knowing that I have given up my status in the palace, I no longer have any scruples, and I will not give you half a good look. It's all insinuations and cynicism, and if you force you to listen to it, don't you make yourself angry? Wouldn't it be good that everyone doesn't get along with each other when they are old and dead? Or are the rest of the people in the palace respectful to you, and you feel that life is too good, and you are interested in coming to find something new?"

Shunzhi was not annoyed, and said: "If you use harsh words, I should only be 'loyal to the ear'." In contrast, I'd rather face the real you than deal with a good boy in a mask. After all, your answer is based on your own thoughts. I don't believe any of those superficially respectful ministers. At least I know how much you love the throne, but you won't have the slightest ill intentions towards me. Those older elder brothers will only figure out my tone everywhere, and at the same time pick a few words, and then make excuses, which is worth him to make waves. Therefore, you are the only one who can be trusted. Now, can I talk to you on an equal footing?"

Xuan Shuang used to please Shunzhi, but he could be said to be cautious everywhere, lest there be a slight omission, once Huang Ama showed a little unhappiness, it was worth him to be nervous for a long time. And today, there is disobedience everywhere, but it is contrary to the original effect, and it is not crying and laughing for a while. Said: "Okay, assuming that I am the advisor you found with a lot of money, don't forget to settle the remuneration for me at that time." However, if you trust others too much, you will only end up reaping the consequences. Now you might as well talk about it, you don't even want the dignity of the monarch, why did you go through so much trouble to find me back to the palace?"

Shunzhi smiled bitterly and said, "If I said it was 'asking for help', do you believe it or not?" Xuan Shuang was slightly stunned, thinking about the group of henchmen he had secretly acquainted, and then pushing the many forces that were secretly dormant, which side was so unstable that he planned to strike first? Who was so incompetent that he would let the emperor see through it first? His body couldn't help but sit up straighter, pretending to be relaxed, and said: "The king of a country, but what are you asking me for? Is it for me to help you catch a cricket?"

Shunzhi looked around that there was no one in the hall, and slowly walked to the farthest place from the gate, lowered his voice, and said: "Recently, the palace is not very peaceful, and some people are secretly training the army and plotting a coup d'état. In fact, her gang formation can be said to have already begun, although I am aware of it, but I deliberately don't say it, I just hope that she can find out with her conscience and know her way back. However, recently, it seems that her power has matured a lot, and she will gradually come out of the shadows and spread out to the open. I am not afraid of other things, but I am worried that the changes in the palace will have a great impact and will definitely harm the people. With the chaos of war, I don't know how many innocent people will be robbed again......"

Xuan Shuang frowned and said, "Since you know what he is brewing, then take a step to deal with him before he has time to act?"

Shunzhi said: "It's too late, everything is under their supervision, and the slightest movement will also startle the snake." That person is more powerful than me in the palace, and if she makes a rash move and forces her to be cornered, she will definitely make a desperate bet. Therefore, I am now completely in a passive position, knowing that she did not have a good heart towards me from the beginning, but I still tolerate her again and again, after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, she can turn her face ruthlessly, but I still have some scruples. Now I just hope that if there is a day like that, you will be on my side. Even if the result after the coup d'état is likely to be in your favor. ”

Xuanshuang had preconceived ideas in his mind, but he never thought that Shunzhi would refer to Sang and scold Huai, saying that he was in the same party as the rebels. The first reaction was to ask, "Since it is beneficial to me, how sure are you that you can convince me to help you?"

Shunzhi didn't think twice and said, "Because I know you, I know that you don't like fate to be at the mercy of people." You'd rather follow your own principles and break through, even if you hit your head and bleed, you're willing. I'm sorry for getting you involved in this affair. ”

Xuan Shuang sneered: "Know me? Why do you say you know me? The former me was just an illusion that did not exist. How much do you know about me now? How dare you make such a big bet? What if I choose to stand on the enemy side? Won't you lose everything?" he thought to himself, Shunzhi knew everything about this, and he would never be defenseless, and the reason why he deliberately asked a question was just to put a few more words.

Shunzhi said: "What if it is the only remaining father-son relationship? If I lose this only bargaining chip, I would rather lose the whole gamble." ”

Xuan Shuang listened to his sad words, and for no reason he made his mood heavy. The usual playful ridicule couldn't be taken out anymore, so he paused and said, "Huang Ama, I admit that you treat me very well." But I don't need to rely on the help of others, I can also help you defeat the party fighting for power, and I can stay in the palace and serve you for the rest of your life, but ......" Shunzhi was already moved when he heard these words, thinking that if he could do these few things, no matter how harsh the requirements were, he could agree to him.

Unexpectedly, Xuanshuang's words changed and said: "Now I have no attachment to the position of the crown prince and the throne of the emperor. It's just that I have to do whatever I want to do as the king of that country, even if it's a pleasure. Wait, one day, I will replace you until I really get tired of it. Because I hate being snatched away from me...... Something that should be mine! You know, since I was a child, I have always said what I said and could do. ”

There was a long silence between the two. As soon as Xuan Shuang's words came out, it showed that he was opposite to Shunzhi's position, and he was loyal for a while, and he would have different intentions over time. After a long time, Shunzhi suddenly said: "It's been a year, and you still hate your mother?"

When Xuan Shuang heard him mention Shen Shiyun, his tone was still calm, and he almost overturned the original speculation for a while. After being stunned for a moment, she said abruptly: "I just can't get used to it, she uses everyone as a tool to open the way." ”

Shunzhi said: "Blood is thicker than water, even if she has a great sin, she is your mother after all, you can't never see her again for the rest of your life." What's more, no matter what crimes she has committed, the purpose behind it is to pave the way for your son. She has poured her greatest heart and soul into you, and there is nothing wrong with a mother who loves her children. Moreover, who is not a tool? To be used by others, and at the same time to be used by others, even if it is not necessarily intentional. The relationship between people is all maintained by this interest. You see that many concubines in my palace are jealous of the wind and jealousy on weekdays, and if they are pregnant with the dragon seed, they will try their best to fight for power for him. In the game, you should adapt to the situation, and there is a way out, and no one can be an exception. I don't blame them. ”

Xuanshuang frowned and said, "How do I think you are deceiving yourself? What have she done over the years, covering the sky with one hand and carrying you behind your back, how much do you know?"

Shunzhi said: "Even if I know many things, I would rather bury them deeply. The truth in the palace is not to know everything clearly. In the future, you will understand, and sometimes it is a joy to be able to be unclear. Since your mother hasn't done anything evil to be sorry for you, you don't have to be so jealous and hateful. The palace is a place where power and heavenly reason coexist, and if she really does something angry, someone will punish her, and you don't have to be arrogant. After returning to the Snow Palace, let's go and see her. ”

Xuan Shuang stood up from the chair, his eyes wandered a little, and said, "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable." The battle you face is not limited to the visible princes and ministers. As for those concubines, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps. Shape up or ship out. Before Shunzhi could react, he had already stepped out of the Qianqing Palace and ran away with a smoke. The guards guarding the palace gate only had time to see the black shadow flashing, and hurriedly rushed into the palace, only to see Shunzhi alone, stumbling a few steps, and falling into the dragon chair, with what the two of them said in their minds.
