spring as old

This trip to the Wei Mansion has yielded a lot.

When Pu Yang returned to the mansion, he went straight to Wei Xiu's courtyard.

Wei Xiu has always lived in secluded places, rarely going out when she has nothing to do.When Puyang arrived, she was in the courtyard, reading a book in her hand.

With the westerly wind blowing and the old crows singing, Wei Xiu is like the only bright color in the bleak autumn landscape.She is thin and thin, sitting alone, with her head buried in the scroll, and when she hears a sound by the door, she turns her head slightly, and her clear and bright eyes calmly look towards Puyang, neither rush nor impetuous, neither arrogant nor discouraged, she has always been So calm.

Pu Yang only felt that the fire of ignorance in the Cheqi mansion was set off again, but it made her feel more tender than this fire, and it was her heartache.

She motioned to a group of servants behind her to wait outside the courtyard, and walked in.

Seeing her approaching, Wei Xiu smiled slightly, put the book aside, bowed and bowed: "Your Highness."

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite." When Pu Yang opened his mouth, he couldn't help but lower his voice.As soon as Fang finished speaking, there was a cold wind blowing behind her, which made her shiver, seeing that although Wei Xiu was wearing a lot, her cheeks were already flushed due to the west wind, she frowned and said, "Why are you in the courtyard, sir? This place is facing the wind, so I won't catch a cold." While speaking, he pushed the wheelchair and went into the house.

Her concern was palpable, Wei Xiu put her hands on the armrests, and said with a smile: "Why is this? I'm not weak." Saying that, it didn't stop Puyang.

In late autumn, the refreshing autumn coolness turns into severe cold, which penetrates layer by layer and soaks into the texture.There is no cold wind blowing from the tops, but the room is cold and cold, without any warmth.She is especially good, the husband has a poor foundation and can't stand the cold.Pu Yang saw a small blanket beside him, so he took it, spread it out and put it on Wei Xiu's lap.

She was so meticulous that Wei Xiu couldn't help breathing, but after a moment, she looked normal, and pressed the edge of the blanket to make it more tightly wrapped.

Pu Yang was still uneasy: "It's getting colder every day, sir, let's make a brazier."

Wei Xiu agreed: "Listen to Your Highness." There is no need to object to making His Highness displeased with such a trivial matter, and waved A Rong to light a brazier.

Seeing that she was obedient instead of obedient and obedient, Pu Yang somewhat felt relieved.

As soon as Ah Rong left, Wei Xiu asked casually, "I haven't seen His Highness these few days, but His Highness is busy?"

Hearing what she said, Pu Yang felt a little uncomfortable. What she was busy these days was confirming Wei Xiu's identity.Thinking of his doubts about her, Pu Yang felt a little guilty, and prevaricated: "But walking around is not a big deal."

Hearing her words, Wei Xiu didn't feel relieved, on the contrary she became more serious: "If Your Highness is in trouble, you may as well tell me. I came to Beijing with His Highness to relieve His Highness's worries."

Her earnest words made Pu Yang feel a little bit guilty, but instantly increased it by seven points.She invited Mr. to Beijing, and she did not forget to relieve her worries, but she suspected that she had ulterior motives.Pu Yang was stupefied, but she was able to control herself after all, and she also knew that Wei Xiu couldn't let Wei Xiu know about such things. Once she knew, it would inevitably become a thorn in the two.If there is a rift between the monarch and his ministers, how can they seek great things?

"If you want to say it's difficult, it's true." She quickly found another reason to deal with it, "Please sir, explain it to me."

The princess has doubts, and as the princess' brains, Wei Xiu naturally wants to share her worries.She showed a hint of interest: "Please speak in detail, Your Highness."

It was about a two-person gambling game, and Pu Yang intervened in advance, thinking that he had a chance to win, but in the end, he still needed to ask his husband for advice. See the detailed description: "Concubine Li is the birth mother of King Jing, and the front and rear palaces are integrated. Your Majesty bestows on Concubine Li, which is to make King Jing more favorable. But the situation in the court is clearly better than that of the king. Why does your majesty..."

The emperor's intention to accept the power of the Jin king is already obvious, and it is urgent to push another king.Pu Yang is familiar with the funeral, in her opinion, there is actually no difference between King Jing and King Dai, and in the end, I'm afraid she will still want to take advantage of the silent King of Donghai County for nothing.The reason why she insisted on acting as the king is that he has more advantages and it is more convenient to act, but His Majesty obviously doesn't think so.

Wei Xiu raised her brows lightly when she heard this, she was very interested: "In this season, the matter of His Majesty bestowing flowers may spread to the court within a day."

King Jin had returned to court a month ago, but His Majesty did not treat him as before. Instead, he praised King Zhao a lot, and called King Jing good from time to time. important.

Didn't Pu Yang know this reason? Seeing Wei Xiu's eyes were smiling without surprise, she couldn't help being even more curious: "Mister, do you know why?"

Wei Xiu spoke softly, and hit the nail on the head: "It's very good that His Highness can make the best use of the situation and remind the king."

She said this lightly, but Pu Yang was shocked: "How does the master know!"

She thought that she acted meticulously and would never leave any clues behind. At that time, the husband was far away in Mangshan, how could she know?

At this moment, Ah Rong brought up the brazier and placed it between Puyang and Weixiu.Pu Yang calmed down his shock in a moment, and regained his composure.

Wei Xiu didn't speak immediately, but waved to Ah Rong to signal her to back off.

The brazier was burning brightly, but it was difficult to dispel the coldness in the room, Pu Yang pushed the brazier in front of Wei Xiu, so that he could be closer to her.

Warmth As the princess approached, the scorching warmth from the charcoal fire slowly penetrated the blanket and wrapped her calves.This warm feeling is like a princess's concern, which cannot be refused overbearingly.

Wei Xiu sighed in his heart, put his hands on the brazier to keep warm, and said, "I know His Highness intervened because the King Dai has always been not sharp. This time, he suddenly targeted King Jing everywhere, and someone must have reminded him. His Highness is close to the king's side." , the news is well-informed, if you speak out, he will not dare to wait for it. And you and I have an appointment first, and it is reasonable for His Highness to test first."

It was clear that she was fighting for the victory, but the husband lightly said that it was a temptation, and set a stage with her.Pu Yang was not hypocritical, and went down the steps: "Mr. is sensitive, I am not as good as you."

Wei Xiu shook her head slowly, looking at Puyang was like looking at a newborn calf, tolerant and gentle: "Your Highness can understand the situation, but also know how to find the joints to exert force secretly, very witty, but His Highness forgot, some things can be done by taking advantage of the situation, and Some things are irreversible."

Pu Yang silently figured out the meaning of her words.Wei Xiu sighed, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "The most irreversible trend in the world happens to be His Majesty's will."

In Puyang's heart, His Majesty is a wise and loving father who governs the world, conscientiously works hard, and treats his children very leniently.She calculated others, but she was unwilling to calculate His Majesty with a utilitarian heart.Hearing Wei Xiu's words, it seemed that His Majesty was self-willed. Pu Yang frowned first, then subconsciously defended his father, and defended the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty is able to accept good advice, and he praises the ministers who are outspoken and extremely admonishing. I have also known it many times. No, change your mind, Mr.'s words are biased."

Wei Xiu looked cold and nodded: "That's true. But if it's about Li Chu, about the fortune of the Xiao Clan for a century? Could Your Majesty change his mind easily?"

Pu Yang's breathing was stagnant, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Sir, that's right."

Wei Xiu also realized that she had spoken in a hurry just now, so she deliberately softened her tone: "The fate of a family is solemn, let alone the fate of the country? Your Majesty is naturally very cautious, how can you change things so easily? Your Highness should know His Majesty's ambitions in detail, and use pictures to relieve father's worries .”

What she said was reasonable, and Pu Yang also showed a dignified expression: "Please explain it carefully for me, sir."

Wei Xiu said: "Your Highness just asked, why is it that the king of Ming Dynasty has the upper hand in the court, but His Majesty is always optimistic about King Jing. The reason is very simple, but His Highness is in it and has not noticed it." Wei Xiu looked at Puyang, " Your Majesty values ​​King Jing only because King Jing is better than King Dai."

Pu Yang was startled for a moment, but immediately understood.She was familiar with the funeral and knew that none of the kings would stand out in the end, so she didn't take them to heart, thinking that what His Majesty wanted was a balance in the court.But she forgot that before deciding to appoint Xiao Dewen, His Majesty also had great expectations for the kings.Because King Jing is more virtuous than the acting king, even though he is weak at the moment, His Majesty is willing to spend all his energy to promote him in order to see his ability.

This was the case when he supported King Jin to compete with King Zhao before, but unfortunately, King Jin disappointed His Majesty with vicious methods, not to mention his cleverness, but actually attacked his brothers, His Majesty had to get rid of him and turned to observe other princes.

Seeing that Pu Yang listened, Wei Xiu continued: "Nowadays, the world seems to be at peace, but once a war breaks out, it will be like a prairie fire. Your Majesty has a great talent and strategy, and domestic politics is clear, so how can you not turn your attention to the south?" ? Great Wei has a large army of good generals, sufficient food and grass, and Song and Qi monarchs are either comfortable and happy, or tyrannical and unkind, and are declining day by day. It is a good time for Great Wei to send troops, but Your Majesty seems to have no such intentions. Does Your Highness know why?"

She was right. The emperor did have the intention of going south. He often took maps in private. It took a long time to see them, but that was only in private. He never mentioned this matter in the court. Most of them passed vaguely, and had no intention of sending troops.Pu Yang had to admire Wei Xiu's keenness.

She looked at Wei Xiu with bright eyes, and asked her to continue.

Wei Xiu didn't refuse, and said again: "It's just because the kings are not virtuous, and there are no successors. Nowadays, the powerful families in the army are all powerful. Once a war starts, the noble families have made military exploits repeatedly, and they will definitely expand. If there are virtuous kings succeeding to the throne, their ability will increase." It’s all about suppressing, but looking at all the kings, none of them has that kind of courage and talent. If the Southern Conquest of Qi and Song Dynasties, in exchange for changing hands, wouldn’t the gains outweigh the losses?”

Wei Neng replaced Zhou because of Xiao's outstanding achievements in the Three Kingdoms War, his prestige was growing day by day, even higher than that of the royal family.With this as a lesson, how dare the emperor try it lightly.

"In this way, the position of the crown prince must be to establish the virtuous rather than the superior." Wei Xiu concluded, "This is in the best interest of His Highness."

All through the ages, if one does not establish one's superiors, there will be turmoil. Now the situation of the kings is even more complicated, and His Majesty has not made a decision. In the future, the water in the court will be more and more disturbed.And she happened to benefit from it.

As for the benefits, Wei Xiu didn't say clearly, and Pu Yang didn't ask any questions, both of them were tacit understanding.

His hands were warm, Wei Xiu saw that Pu Yang had figured it out, and asked with a gentle smile: "Your Highness, you know why many princes and grandchildren serve His Highness as the master?"

Pu Yang's stature was slightly stagnant, and somehow he began to look forward to it, and there was a hint of nervousness in addition to the anticipation.She thinks that her husband is sincere, but he is good at judging the situation and will never help her who is the most difficult to win just because of her sincerity.Assuming that she has benefits that others do not have.

Secretly harboring a trace of hope, Pu Yang's face was serious: "Sir, with blue eyes and blue eyes, I think I have something special."

Wei Xiu nodded: "King Jing is more worthy than Dai Wang, and Your Highness is more worthy than other kings." After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly: "There is nothing the kings can do, and Your Highness can help my father share the worries."
