My country is dead again [Rebirth]

He seemed to have found the answer to those words back then, but he still wanted to hear a definite answer himself.

Wang Chen sat up from the reclining chair, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said, "Didn't you already understand?"

Just such an answer, He Xiaoman knew that this was the clearest answer, he held the corner of Yesa's finger trembling slightly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, old ancestor."

"I said, don't thank me. In the palace, whether you can survive and where you can go is up to you. People who don't know how to survive will not survive to the end even if they have someone behind them every day." Wang Chen said, "You understand this truth yourself, and you deserve it to be able to go so far. Your Majesty also understands this truth, so you can sit firmly on the dragon chair."

Wang Chen didn't seem to like to take the initiative to speak, and there was a long silence after he finished speaking. He Xiaoman pursed his lips, explaining the intention of coming: "Today, His Majesty asked me to come to the old ancestor. Another replacement, the civil servants definitely prefer Han Zhen, but His Majesty doesn't want to, and the others can't find a suitable one. Yesterday, His Majesty suddenly remembered the old ancestor. You have a reputation inside and outside the palace, and Sun Bingde and the others are ancestors. I met you when the emperor was here, if you go to the three major battalions, Sun Bingde must not be so repulsive."

"You should have seen it too, I don't care about these things now." Wang Chen's expression was calm and indifferent, as if he had known about it long ago, and he was not surprised at all, "The former emperor has gone, and I am old, so I don't want to get involved anymore These things."

He Xiaoman was not surprised by his answer, even expected it long ago, but he still didn't give up, saying: "There is no need for the ancestor to do anything, and it won't take too long. It should take another year or two before His Majesty will let Shen resign. On weekdays, there are people from His Majesty in the three major battalions, and His Majesty will personally intervene, the ancestors don’t need to work hard, and if you don’t want to take care of things, you don’t have to do anything.”

Wang Chen saw that he looked at him eagerly, smiled and shook his head and said: "If you really agree, how can you ignore everything and stay out of it, you understand this."

"It won't be too much trouble..."

Wang Chen interrupted him: "Why did you come to me and persuade me to agree?"

He Xiaoman paused, lowered his eyes and said: "The old ancestor told me back then that His Highness the Sixth Highness will be my master in the future, so I naturally want to do things for him."

Wang Chen took another sip of tea, his eyes widened, as if he was thinking about some past events, and his voice softened when he spoke again: "We people have nothing to look forward to in this life after entering the palace, except to be able to climb to a high place to touch a We can't get more from the taste of power. We have to rely on the master to get it. Only by letting the master always trust you can we secure your position. So what we can do is to serve the master with all our heart, so that The master thinks that we are useful and very useful. These are impossible for the courtiers outside the court, so the emperor is more willing to trust us, because we are obedient and can do many things. Sometimes we may look like a dog , give a bone, and we will give up our hearts, but give the courtiers of foreign courts gold, ten thousand taels, and supreme power, and they will not be grateful, but will become more and more reckless against the emperor."

This is the reason why so many emperors are willing to trust the eunuchs around them for thousands of years. It is not that He Xiaoman does not understand this truth, but he will still listen subconsciously and patiently when he hears Wang Chen say it again.

"You already understand what I said to you back then, but I actually have nothing more to say." Wang Chen said again, "You are still very young, but you have already climbed to the pinnacle of power. You have only two paths in the future. Sit here firmly, sit until the end, or fall to pieces. If you want to survive in the palace, power is a good thing. You see, the masters also know this truth. The master who lost power is not as good as a dog, so hold on tight Power is something that must be done, but don’t think about asking for too much. Sometimes power is like a scourge, and it will kill you without a place to bury you. Is the old ancestor of the Xi Zong Dynasty powerful? His sons are all over the court. The whole world will listen to him, but he died anyway, without a whole body. When the time comes, it’s actually a good thing to get out in time.”

He Xiaoman bowed his body and saluted: "Thank you for your teaching."

The matter of the admiral's three camps seemed to be forgotten by Wang Chen, and He Xiaoman didn't dare to bring it up again, and listening to Wang Chen say these words in an old and quiet voice, he seemed to have forgotten his reason for coming, immersed in the In the things Wang Chen said, he pondered.

Wang Chen looked down and saw He Xiaoman's hands on his knees. His fingers were covered with calluses and tiny veins, which didn't match that beautiful face. It was obvious that he had done a lot of rough work over the years, and his own hands were also It's not even good-looking, think about it carefully, which eunuch's hands will look like a pampered son, whoever climbed to a high place has suffered ten times and a hundred times more than ordinary people to climb up.

"Usually in the Prison of Rituals, it seems that you have never taken in apprentices or godsons?" Wang Chen asked suddenly.

When eunuchs enter the palace, they will no longer have relatives, and they cannot be buried in ancestral graves after they die. When they are old, almost every eunuch will take in a few apprentices and godsons. Buy a coffin and set up a grave.

He Xiaoman lowered his head, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and replied: "No."

"Not going to accept it?"

He Xiaoman was silent for a long time, then said softly, "Yes."

Wang Chen laughed again, He Xiaoman raised his head to look at him, feeling palpitations that he had seen through all his thoughts, and hurriedly turned his eyes away, Wang Chen was even more convinced of his guess, and said clearly: "You have someone in your heart. "

He Xiaoman's throat seemed to be blocked, he couldn't speak, and he didn't dare to look at him.

"Does that person like you? Does he treat you well?" Wang Chen has not asked about trivial matters inside and outside the palace for a long time, and he would never think about asking for any news on weekdays. If it was in the past, he would have already done this matter knew.

He Xiaoman closed his eyes slightly, and his voice was a little dry: "He likes me and treats me very well." Wang Chen asked him like this, and for some reason he wanted to cry, so he said three words softly, "He is very good."

"When I was a teenager, I met a little fireman who would die for love, and I have met many more, so many that we can't count. For a long time, I felt that these people were The most stupid people in the world. They think they are nothing but eunuchs, dare to taste the taste of love? The world says that prostitutes and opera actors are stupid to believe in love, so what about people like us, how stupid are they? ?” Wang Chen’s eyes were pitiful but ruthless, locking He Xiaoman’s escaped gaze, “Do you know, all these years, those idiots I’ve seen, none of them can die well, some of them died, Died at the hands of others, or committed suicide, and one person was killed by his own sweetheart. Some people did not die, and their lives ended like this. They were lonely forever. Some of them asked me in grief, why? Why are eunuchs not worthy to try Love in the world? I said, this is our fate, from the moment you enter the palace, you must accept your fate."

He Xiaoman raised his head, and the tears that were about to burst into his eyes fell back again. He really wanted to cry a lot, or like those people Wang Chen said, if he caught someone and asked sharply "Why", the prostitute. They have hearts and feelings, they are also people in the world, ordinary and ordinary, they also have some, and some...

"I know...I know everything..." His voice was completely hoarse, and he looked up at Wang Chen stubbornly, "But I still want to give it a try, even if I die at his hands, I am willing."

Wang Chen seemed to have guessed that he would say that, or that is what the many stupid people he had met said, so he nodded: "Then go try it, except for power and authority. It's a good thing to look forward to love." He sighed softly, "If one day he doesn't want you, don't be sad, you have to remember, it's not that you are not worthy of him, but he is not worthy of you."

He Xiaoman still couldn't hold back the tears, and couldn't help nodding: "Okay..."

Wang Chen brought him the teacup and asked him to drink some tea to moisten his throat. The two of them did not speak for a long time. When the warm sun was covered by a few clouds and it was dark all around, Wang Chen said again: "Go back and talk to me." Your Majesty, I promise."

He Xiaoman almost dropped the teacup, hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up like he couldn't believe it: "You, you mean about the admiral's three battalions?"

"Didn't you come here for this?" Wang Chen asked with a smile.

He Xiaoman was speechless, he came here for this, but wasn't it you who turned the topic around?

"Why did the old ancestor... agree again?" He Xiaoman asked.

"The late emperor did too many wrong things. I don't know if he regretted seeing his ancestors at this time. He was a little scared when he was a prince. He must have been in fear every day for the great crime of losing the capital." Wang Chen's eyes first This time I was a little empty, my gaze was not substantial, I don't know where it fell, but the color of the deep black pupils softened unexpectedly, "I don't have a few years to live, the rest of the days should be atonement for the late emperor, please list The ancestors rarely blame him."

He Xiaoman glanced at his deformed fingers, did not ask any further questions, and bowed to salute: "Thank you, ancestor. You...take care of your health."

Wang Chen was a little tired, so he lay back on the recliner and waved his hand: "Go back."

While they were talking, the eunuch, who was invisible, came out of the house and sent He Xiaoman out for Wang Chen.

He Xiaoman walked very slowly, and took a long detour. When he was about to reach Yongning Palace, he didn't want to go in. He looked up and saw the flying clouds in the sky, his eyes were wet again, and his ears were full of Wang Chen's words.

Who do they think they are, just eunuchs, dare to taste the taste of love?

This is our fate, from the moment you enter the palace, you must accept your fate.

It seemed that every breath became difficult, and his heart was suffocated and painful. He recruited an eunuch in front of Yongning Palace in a daze, and asked him to report back the good talk between Xie Ruzhuo and Wang Chen, and then staggered a little Get out of the palace.

He has loved someone for so many years. He loves someone so much that when he can't bear it, he will forget the pain when he thinks about it. It is the deep affection that he will raise his eyebrows and smile every rainy day but can't express it. How can he accept his fate?

He can't.

The author has something to say: Everyone was so shocked by Song Qinglai's age yesterday, I hahahahahaha.In fact, when Song Qinglai appeared in Chapter 21, I clearly stated that he was 24 years old!At that time, they had just arrived in Lezhou, and they had already lived in Lezhou for a year, and now it is almost June of the new year, so he is 26 years old!Sure enough, 25 years old is an age cut-off point. Before 25, I feel very young, and after 25, I will be old hahahahahaha.But my principle is that the characters I write are all paper people, even if they are in their twenties, they will always be young. I remember I wrote that Song Qinglai looks quite small hahahahaha.

Xiao Song is coming out in the next chapter, climax warning.

I won’t write about humble secret love anymore, it’s too bitter, and I’m crying/withered when I write about myself

Xiao Song, treat Xiao Man well! ! ! (mom roars)
