"Senior Brother Youran...... Long time no see. ”

"Long time no see...... Lu Ziqing. ”

Qingpao Lu Ziqing, Sima Qianye's disciple, has been calling Sima Youran his senior brother since he was a child

"Sit down, Senior Brother Youran. After the extremely simple greeting between the two, Lu Ziqing sat down and spoke.

Sima leisurely did not hesitate, and sat down opposite Lu Ziqing.

"What are you waiting for me here?" asked Sima leisurely.

Listening to Sima Youran's words, Lu Ziqing was curious: "Oh, senior brother, why are you asking me why I'm looking for you? shouldn't you be curious about why I'm here?"

Sima Ran smiled bitterly for a while: "After reading the note that the guy gave me, I guessed that the person here is you." After all, in addition to your father, you are the only one in this world who likes to discuss the way of "country" and "family" with others. ”

"As for why you're here, it should have something to do with the people behind you, Lu Ziqing. Sima paused leisurely and continued.

"The person behind me?" Lu Ziqing chuckled: "Senior brother, do you know who the person behind me is?"

"I don't know, I'm not interested. Sima Ran shook his head leisurely and said.

Lu Ziqing was stunned, he didn't expect Sima Youran to say this.

Looking at Lu Ziqing, who was slightly stunned, Sima Ran continued to speak: "If I guessed correctly, you have never left the capital over the years, but your figure rarely appears in the capital, especially after I entered Beijing last year, you are completely gone, and even after I have been in the capital for a year, there is still no news of you."

"So I guess you're hidden by the person behind you, and you're behind that person's background, helping that person to set everything up. ”

Listening to Sima Youran's words, Lu Ziqing's expression did not change, but he was speechless now.

There is no doubt that Sima Youran is completely right.

The two fell silent again.

In the end, Lu Ziqing broke the quiet situation.

"Senior brother, let's go back to Linjiang...... Don't go to the capital again. You can't win...... I'm going to die!" Sima Youran heard the bitterness from Lu Ziqing's words.

"Is that what you mean or is that the man behind you meant?" asked Sima leisurely.

"It's all of them!" Lu Ziqing replied.

"Hehe......" Sima smiled leisurely.

"Lu Ziqing, I don't care who is behind you, you go back and tell him that you want me to go back to Linjiang, it's okay!"

"When they kill me, my body can return to Linjiang!"

"But now...... Keep dreaming!"

After closing his words, Sima stood up leisurely and turned to leave.

But Sima Youran, who walked to the door, stopped again.

"Actually...... I also think that "home" and "country" make more sense......"

Lu Ziqing's face changed drastically, and he stood up, wanting to call back Sima Youran.

But at this time, Sima Youran had really left......

......

......

Sima leisurely left the small teahouse and returned to the convoy.

Xie Changfeng did not let them get off the carriage for the safety of Chen Mingyu and others, but sent a few princes to the small teahouse to buy some refreshments and sent in two carriages.

"Let's go back to Beijing directly, the prince should be ready to meet us......" Sima leisurely dropped this sentence and walked into the carriage.

"Leisurely, did you see your old man?" As soon as Sima Youran got into the car, Chen Mingyu asked.

"Well, I saw ......," Sima said leisurely.

"Brother Youran, is something wrong?" Yang Shaoru saw that Sima Youran was a little wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Sima Ran sighed softly and said such a sentence.

"After entering Beijing, our difficulties will be much greater than we imagined. ”

"It's a lot bigger, what does it mean?" Chen Mingyu wondered.

"I'll explain it to you when I enter Beijing...... Right now...... Let me be quiet first......" There was actually a trace of tiredness in Sima Youran's voice......

After saying this, Sima Ran closed his eyes leisurely and gently, Chen Mingyu and Yang Shaoru glanced at each other, and never said anything again......

At this time, in the small teahouse, Lu Ziqing was still drinking tea in the small private room.

Suddenly, a young man in black pushed the door open.

"Your Royal Highness. Lu Ziqing hurriedly got up and saluted, and the person who came was the third prince of the Yuan Kingdom, Li Xuanye, who was about to get married.

"How is it, Ziqing, what did Sima Youran say?" Li Xuanye sat in the place where Sima Youran had sat before, thinking about Lu Ziqing and asked.

"As I predicted before, I won't ......leave," Lu Ziqing shook his head and sighed lightly.

"Does Sima Youran just want to die in the capital like this?" Li Xuanye wondered: "How can he and his eldest brother fight the Queen Mother......

"No...... Third Highness, you are wrong. Lu Ziqing said suddenly.

"Oh, was I wrong?"

Lu Ziqing nodded and said, "Well, it's not just that you're wrong...... I could be wrong too...... Sima Youran may really win the battle against the Queen Mother......"

"Ziqing, didn't you say before that Sima Youran would definitely not be able to win against the Queen Mother?" Li Xuanye asked again.

"Before...... Before, I thought that Sima Youran, like the teacher, followed the way of the "country", so I thought that he would also be subject to the Queen Mother like the teacher back then. But just now, I found out that he was actually the same as me, and he actually agreed with the way of "family and country......" Lu Ziqing said quietly.

"The way of the 'country'?" 'The way of the family and the country'? "What do you mean?" Li Xuanye had never heard of these two things, so he was very puzzled.

"'The way of the country' is my teacher, that is, the former prime minister Sima leisurely put forward the policy of governing the country, taking the country as the foundation, the country first and then the family, all things are in the interests of the country first, and it is this 'country' way that Emperor Ming follows today. Although Emperor Ming was able to govern the Yuan Kingdom well, because the country gave priority to ideas, Emperor Ming would be subject to the Empress Dowager......" Lu Ziqing explained.

"Then what is the way of 'home and country'?" Li Xuanye asked again.

"I came up with the way of 'family and country' after learning the teacher's way of 'country', because I believe that governing the country should first govern the family, that is, governing the country morally and emotionally, and restrain the royal family first, otherwise the country may slowly decay from top to bottom...... Although these two truths are very simple truths, they are the foundation of governing the country. If Sima Youran agrees with the saying of 'family and country' like me, then many of the Queen Mother's methods will be useless to Sima Youran, so I will say that Sima Youran may ......win this time."

Li Xuanye pondered for a moment, as if digesting what Lu Ziqing had just said.

"Father and Prime Minister Sima Cheng both agree with the 'country'......" Thinking of this, Li Xuanye's face suddenly changed.

"Ziqing, what do you think...... Which side will the current crown prince agree with?" asked Li Xuanye.

"Third Highness...... That's what I'm worried about......" Lu Ziqing smiled bitterly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees...... It should also be a 'home country'......"
