Dongchang needs talents like you

In fact, Chi Ning followed Wang Yang's old way of leveraging his strengths, using a beautiful lie - the "last words" of Emperor Tianhe, to persuade the Queen Mother to agree to his desperate and risky gamble.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be just talk, betting on someone's conscience, besides, the queen mother has no heart yet.

Chi Ning invited Wang Yang, the chief assistant, and asked Yuan Jun and the immortal master from Zuowangxinzhai to cast spells together to witness under the old man's unbelievable shock, and made a three-way oath with the queen mother. Nor will they covet that supreme position, only participate in and discuss state affairs, not engage in dictatorship.

The binding force of the oath is very strong. The moment the three of them nodded in unison, they all felt something tightly tied to their hearts at the same time.

They don't need anyone to tell, they already understand that once they break their oath, their hearts will be crushed.

The feeling of being controlled by others is really not very pleasant, especially Chi Ning and the Queen Mother, who have a strong desire to control, and they are the only ones who control others on weekdays, so they can't be controlled by others, including Mr. Wang. Neither are pretty.Wang Yang even said bluntly: "When I am old, let my wealth and life be restrained by an invisible thing. If my brother is alive, what will he say?"

But when he thought that the other two were suffering silently just like himself, he somehow felt a little better.Just in response to the phrase "I'm happy when I see you unhappy".

In this oath, the most important point is: when Wen Chen is 20 years old, they will return the government to him.

This oath is only guaranteed until Wen Chen is 20 years old, and it also stipulates in detail that if Wen Chen dies due to an accident, the oath will be invalidated on the spot.Dare to make such an oath, naturally because the three of them did not want to see Wen Chen die for one reason or another.Wang Yang is for the common people, the queen mother is for her son, Chi Ning...

The whole world knows that he likes to raise sons.

Although Chi Ning is not good at saying such outrageous things in front of the queen mother, in his opinion, Wen Chen is indeed one of his godsons.Godsons can take advantage of them, but they will never watch them die.

In fact, Chi Ning and Wang Yang's original requirement was to be 14 years old, while the queen mother said that the lion would be 30 years old.You ask for a price, I will sit down and bargain.In the end, the three people negotiated an age that was not satisfactory to each other but was acceptable, and the two-year-old was the most energetic.

It took the three of them a lot of effort to get all of this done. At this time, the sky outside was already dark, and Huoshaoyun was gradually stained with dense black.

Chi Ning didn't show a smile until he left the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Wang Yang is still preoccupied, because he knows his own body, not to mention that he may not be able to persist until Prince Wenchen is 20 years old, but only that he persists, if the Queen Mother's body is still strong by then, what will happen to the future Daqi Woolen cloth?The queen mother can be restricted by her son once, but it is absolutely impossible to be restricted endlessly.

To put it simply, for Tianhedi's face, he can only protect his son until he is 20 years old.

"Believe me, 20 years old is a hurdle." Chi Ning patted Mr. Wang on the shoulder. He didn't explain clearly, but everyone who should understand has already understood.

Chi Ning got the exact guarantee from Mr. Yuan.Yuan Jun can't see Chi Ning's future, but he can still see other people's. Although the deeper the entanglement between this person and Chi Ning, the more blurred he can see, but at least he can be sure that when Prince Wenchen was 20 years old, the Queen Mother He would be paralyzed due to a stroke, and would have to end his political career and completely withdraw from the stage of history.

There is no need to worry about the Queen Mother's endless future.

This is the queen mother's fate, and no one can change it. It is not easy for her to be prosperous for ten years. In her later years, she has to pay for the sins she committed when she was young.No one's road to the harem is completely clean, and the Queen Mother is no exception. Although she was forbearing and low-key in the struggle with Concubine Wei, she did not do anything at all, not only against Concubine Wei, but also other concubines.She has done a lot of dirty things, and this stroke is her destined retribution.

[I didn't expect you to be a god who pays attention to cause and effect. ] Chi Ning was shocked when he heard this.

[It's not that I pay attention to cause and effect, but fate pays attention to cause and effect. 】Yuan Jun immediately put aside the relationship between himself and fate, fate is fate, he is him, although they are often confused, but they are really not the same thing.

Otherwise, Yuan Jun would not have been fooled by King Jing at all.

In fact, if Chi Ning is more ruthless, when he knows that the queen mother is destined to be in such a catastrophe, he does not have to sign the so-called check and balance contract with the queen mother. He can choose to fight her directly. It is true that he cannot fight the queen mother, but he can fight A draw, keep it for a few years until the Queen Mother has a stroke, this can still be done, he consumes so much energy that the Queen Mother has to give in.

This is probably Chi Ning's strategy in his previous life, but in this life, after experiencing so many things, Chi Ning finally has a different idea.

Of course, it was also because the queen mother seemed to have a premonition when negotiating with Chi Ning, and she took the initiative to give in, saying that when Shang Er retrieved the bones of Zhang Jingzhong and others, she would work with Wang Yang to restore Zhang Jingzhong's innocence.

"The Ai family didn't know that Zhang Jingzhong and others had protected my son from the siege, so..." The queen mother is also a good actor when it is time to make concessions, or in other words, as a person who is usually known for being cold-blooded, she just Showing a little bit of emotion is enough to confuse others, and feel that they have seen the other side that can be called human.

But this is just an illusion.

As for whether Chi Ning believes the queen mother's words, only he knows in his heart. On the surface, what he said is: "It is enough to have the old lady. The minister and the master of the minister are equally loyal."

Wang Yang was really ashamed. He knew Zhang Jingzhong's swearing to protect Tianhe Emperor when he was in Gongbian, and he couldn't sleep all night after returning. Jingzhong and others criticized a loyal minister in words and in writing, which is really not what a gentleman would do.Wang Yang couldn't help but ask himself, has he read all the books he has read for so many years?

Chi Ning laughed, all he wanted was such a shame and an apology, after all, his master never regretted what he did to me.His loyalty to Tianhedi is what he really wants to do, not to get someone's affirmation.

Chi Ning knows his master, even if he bears infamy and doesn't understand, he will definitely persevere.

He knows him, he doesn't understand him, but he respects his wishes.

"Your Excellency, you don't need to worry about it. If you can save Your Majesty, my master will be able to rest in peace. I'm not trying to be good or bad, I'm just stating a fact." Zhang Jingzhong didn't persist in the world, just The strongest proof.Before he died, he protected Tianhe Emperor and carried out his loyalty. For him, this life was worth it.

"Every time righteousness slaughters more dogs, most of them are scholars who are guilty." Wang Yang sighed with emotion, "I am conceited and clear, but I can't see the truth in the world until I am old."

"Where is this a play?" Chi Ning was taken aback, thinking that what he said was really reasonable.

"It's a couplet, but now it's used by many storytellers as an opening poem." After listening to so many stories told by storytellers, Wang Yang truly understood the meaning of the couplet at this moment.

Chi Ning and Wang Yang parted ways at the gate of the palace, Wang Yang went home, and Chi Ning diverted to the East Palace.

He rescued the little prince Wen Chen from the sea of ​​books, and once again became "the best companion in the world" in the words of His Highness. Looking at the child with red lips and white teeth, Chi Ning was inexplicably in a good mood.

"I want to say something heartfelt to Your Highness."

After Chi Ning finished speaking, he took the little prince to the Book Pavilion north of the East Palace.This attic was newly painted this year because of the prince's entry into the pavilion. Zhulan, jade, and layers of cornices, you can have a panoramic view of the entire East Palace from a distance.

Chi Ning took the prince up to the fifth floor, and both of them sat on the gazebo, with a pot of steaming tea between them.

Ask Chi Ning to say that at this time, it is time to have some green plum wine, simmer on the stove, swallow it into the throat, and warm the heart.This is the correct way to open a heart-to-heart dialogue.

pity……

The prince is still a child, no matter how old his inner soul is, it is not suitable for drinking at present.Chi Ning had no choice but to make people serve strong tea with regret, and then replaced it with soup, and drank it in one gulp, which was nutritious and healthy.

That's pretty good too.

"Linlin?" Prince Wenchen tilted his head, waiting for Chi Ning to speak. He was actually a little flustered. Before he knew what Chi Ning wanted to say to him, he was always afraid that he had made some mistake unknowingly. been criticized.Wen Chen is actually not afraid of criticism, he is just afraid of disappointing Chi Ning.In this life, he has really worked very hard.

Chi Ning originally wanted to open the skylight with the prince to talk brightly, saying that I know you have been reborn, that I think you should work hard in this life, and that...

But when he met the little prince's black and white eyes, Chi Ning's old father's heart trembled inexplicably, and the words turned into a long sigh.What he said at the end was: "Your Highness, you don't know what happened recently, do you? I originally thought that you are really young and shouldn't tell you these things. But something happened today, which made me feel that the relationship between people The most important thing is communication, don't leave any misunderstandings to each other. Your Highness, can you understand what I said?"

The little prince nodded ignorantly. He was really ignorant in this regard. In his previous life, Chi Ning’s choice was obvious. He didn’t let Wen Chen know everything, because in his previous life, Chi Ning also felt that Wen Chen was a dou who couldn’t help him. on the contrary will be happier.

But this life is different.

Not only Wen Chen wants to work hard, Chi Ning also wants to take a different path, he wants to see Wen Chen grow up, so, no matter how cruel the truth is, Chi Ning also thinks that Wen Chen should know, and he can judge by himself. Should you know these things.

Chi Ning broke apart and smashed everything that happened recently to the prince, including the thoughts of the ministers he could guess, the Queen Mother's heart, King Jing's distortion, and some of his own calculations.He is consistent, telling the whole story, as objective and comprehensive as possible.

It was also in the process of analyzing and narrating that Chi Ning understood why he in his previous life left the impression that he was dissatisfied with all princes and princesses to Prince Wenchen—he was covering up his hatred for King Jing.

In his previous life, Chi Ning didn't want the little prince to fall into the trap of his father. In fact, he lived until he returned to Beijing, but died in despair when no one found him. In this way, he couldn't explain to Wen Chen how much bad things King Jing had done. He can only find a cover.It's a magical idea to have trouble with all the royal families.But Wen Chen in his previous life accepted it well.

Not in this life, Chi Ning decided to tell Wen Chen all the truth, what if the little prince can be reborn again?Maybe in another world, he could save Tianhedi.

"I told His Highness this, not to make His Highness feel guilty, nor to want His Highness to ask himself over and over again why he didn't save the father who returned to Beijing. There is no way to change what has happened, and it is useless for you to regret it. We really What should be done, or what we should really focus on, is how to prevent such tragedies from happening again in the future."

Wen Chen has been stunned by the wave after wave of truth, and he once again clearly realized that he can become so powerful and see everything without being reborn.

On the contrary, there are too many things, his understanding in the previous life is completely opposite to the truth, and he still has lingering fears after seeing a corner of the truth in this life.

Fortunately, he didn't act on his own in this life, and didn't cause more terrible things to happen because of his rebirth.

"Do you think something similar to what happened to the late emperor will happen to you, your relatives, friends, or your people in the future?" Chi Ning asked Wen Chen.

The little prince shook his head honestly: "I don't want such a thing to happen to anyone." The more Wen Chen spoke, the smoother he became. Although he was still clumsy, at least he could see his heart that wanted to work hard. "I don't want to see children lose their parents. I don't want to see children lose their parents. I don't want to see old people lose their children. I don't want to see old people lose their children. ..."

There's so much he doesn't want to see.

Wen Chen can't guarantee that he will be able to do this in the future, or how perfect he will do it, but at least he can guarantee that he will do it and spend his whole life working hard and trying to make this world a better place.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. After two lifetimes, Wen Chen finally understood this truth.

Willow shoots on the moon.

Chi Ning smiled slightly at the little prince: "That's really great, I look forward to living in the world governed by His Royal Highness in the future."

"Gu will definitely not let Linlin down!" The little prince clenched his fists and raised his head, his blood boiled with excitement being fooled by Chi Ning, and he didn't think there was any problem at all.In his previous life, he didn't have time to say it, but in this life he felt that there was no need to say it.

Linlin is like Gu Yafu.

In her previous life, unknown to everyone, she has been, and has been, working hard to ensure the happiness of being alone.

In this life, it's Gu's turn to protect Linlin!

Chi Ning curled his lips slightly, under the moon, the beauty is like this.But what this jade man said to Yuan Jun in his heart was: [Look, this is the reward for raising a son.In my previous life, I planted trees, and in this life, I take advantage of the shade and raise children to guard against old age, nothing more.I am so wise, so powerful, so amazing! 】

Yuan Jun: ...just as long as you are happy.
