The counselor began to feel unconfident, and was distracted for a while without moving.
Fortunately, King Qin's thoughts were not on him at all, which made the counselor stay in the room for a long time.
The counselor took the first step to wake up. Seeing that King Qin was sitting in his own seat, he didn't know what he was thinking about. He remembered what the other party had said before, and quietly retreated.
...
After a few days, there was no moth coming out from King Qin's side, which made Zhaoyan and others relax a lot.
But some people couldn't adapt, and shouted directly: "It's surprising, what did the King of Qin prepare? He hasn't taken any action for so many days!"
Cheng Jiao, who was playing chess with Zhao Yan, couldn't help but paused, saying that the King of Qin didn't do anything... It seemed that it wasn't all.
At least people started to contact him frequently.
Those who came were some old officials who were biased towards him, saying something and nothing, to induce him to do something.
"Do I look stupid?" Cheng Jiao muttered.
"Not stupid. They just treat you as a child, and want to test the people behind you through you." It happened that Zhao Yan's hearing was very good, so he heard his voice and made a move on the chessboard.
"Your words are really shocking!" Cheng Jiao grabbed the chess piece with more strength, and responded with a smile, he raised his eyes and noticed Zhaoyan Gujing's face without waves, and said silently, " Brother Zhao, tell me the truth, what is the relationship between Brother Abandoned and my brother? Is he... really my other brother?"
Zhaoyan's eyelids trembled, and when he looked up, he saw a ghostly dragon sneaking under the big tree where he was taking a nap. He looked very much like a thief.
"Hehe..." Zhao Yan shook his head amusedly, and tapped the chessboard with the discarded piece in his hand, "You're about to lose."
"Can you not care about these small things? We are discussing more important things now!" Cheng Jiao wanted to throw the chess piece, but he raised his hand, then dropped it quietly, and threw the chess piece directly into the chess basket.
"You don't have to do this, just ask him, he will tell you." Zhao Yan stretched his hand over the chessboard, patted him on the shoulder, got up and left.
"Will you talk?" Cheng Jiao muttered, his eyes turned to the seemingly leisurely Qi Buqi.
The young man sat on the rocking chair and hummed some folk songs he didn't know where he heard, with a relaxed expression, as if he was really just an ordinary rich man, and he didn't have to worry about anything.
Cheng Jiao couldn't move forward. The person in front of him was not the same as the person who resolved the crisis not long ago.The contrast in look, temperament and attitude is too great.
"Don't just stand over there and stare at me, Cheng Jiao, I'm already uncomfortable being watched by you." Before Cheng Jiao could see anything in Qi Buqi, the rocking chair of Qi Buqi had stopped, and he Sitting up, he turned his head to look at Cheng Jiao, his smile was still the same as before, but Cheng Jiao couldn't treat him like before.
The two stood in a stalemate for a moment, then Cheng Jiao walked up to Qi Buqi with strides, covering the sunlight in front of the opponent, casting the shadow directly on Qi Buqi, and said in a critical blow, "Are you the same as that Zhao Zheng? I bleed the same?"
"The Zhao Zheng I told you about is a twin." Qi Buqi corrected Cheng Jiao's statement.
Cheng Jiao said instantly, "I know this, shut up! You just need to answer [Yes] or [No]!"
"Yes." Qi Buqi spread his hands, cooperating.
Cheng Jiao fell into a momentary silence again, and asked a question again after a long time, "Why didn't you go back to the palace with him?"
"The reason is very complicated, and I can't tell you the specifics. If you insist on an answer, I can only say... I hate the palace." Qi Buqi replied.
"Hate... the royal palace?" Cheng Jiao repeated in a murmur, and then nodded, "The royal palace is really annoying!"
"I'm very glad you can reach a consensus with me on this issue." Abandoning tears and laughing.
"But no one wants to sit in that position, right? That is the supreme position. If you sit in that position, you can be admired by thousands of people and become the most honorable person. You just hid your existence and gave up because you hated the palace. You could have these?" Cheng Jiao didn't let him go because he had the same views as Qi Buqi, and continued to ask the questions he cared about.
"To be honest..." Qi Buqii scratched his brows, "From my current point of view, it is easy to lose myself in that position, and life will be very tiring. No matter what I do, there will be a lot of people Advise you, keep stopping you, against you.
You have to think about the consequences of doing this every day, whether there will be more good results or more bad results.
There are risks in some things, even if the judgment is correct at the beginning, the risks must be taken into consideration, and all the consequences must be borne, whether it is good... or bad.
When you defy all opinions and make a judgment that deviates, you will be accused by a group of people, and they will tell you that if you listened to them, it would not be like this.
You have to listen to what everyone said, analyze what they said, and combine your own understanding to make choices and judgments.
They will always hand over the power of choice and decision-making to you, but this weapon of power is double-edged, facing the outside world and facing yourself...
You also have to balance the minds of those who have different opinions, thinking about whether their proposal is purely for the country and the people?Or to cater to yourself.
If they're just trying to cater, they'll just do what you want and never come up with something really useful.
Even people who serve the country and the people will oppose you because of their understanding and different ideological experiences...
It's really tiring to live like that..."
Abandoning Buqii sighed, but Cheng Jiao felt a strange feeling that he couldn't adapt to, "Why...you speak as if you have experienced this?"
Qi Buqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled strangely and said, "Would you believe me if I said that I really experienced it once?"
"..." Cheng Jiao wanted to say that he didn't believe it, but he couldn't say it.
Abandoning Buqi's expression, there is a kind of magical power, which makes people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts, and can't take the other party's words as ordinary jokes.
"Forget it, I won't tease you. I've heard other people say these things, so I guess that's how I feel?
But I guess this is the reaction of those kings who want to do something practical. If you want to be a foolish tyrant, you don't have to think so much, just have fun.
Of course, there are no eggs under the overturned nest, as long as you are not a fool, you will know how to do it.
So, in my opinion, sitting in that supreme position has more disadvantages than advantages. You can either work hard and work hard, or be cynical and bring Qin to the end of the game.Either way, I don't like it. "
"Then you can also admit your identity and be a leisurely son, Lord Hou?" Cheng Jiao always felt something was wrong when he heard it, and immediately retorted.
"In your opinion, is Da Qin the Lidi or Liechang? In your opinion, who is orthodox between me and the current King of Qin?" Qi Buqi stared into Cheng Jiao's eyes and asked suddenly.
This question made Cheng Jiao dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.
Qi Buqii continued: "Now you are also aware of your own situation. There is only one Qin country. If there is a split, it is easy to split. I think you also know the history of the division of the Great Zhou.
If there is only one Daqin in this world, if there is a double heart, at most one fight, whoever is more skilled will take that position...
But now surrounded by wolves outside, the allied kingdoms attacked Qin happened a while ago, they just waited for an opportunity to engulf Qin directly when Great Qin was too busy to take care of itself.
At that time, not to mention the position of king, even Qin will be gone. Either he will be reduced to a prisoner and let others decide his fate, or he will die in battle. "
Cheng Jiao was frightened, and instantly thought of Chang Xinhou and others who were executed a while ago, and unconsciously substituted himself into it, only to feel dizzy in the head and cold in the limbs.
His lips trembled, and his hands clenched into fists, "So... you actually chose to give in because you were concerned about Daqin's survival?"
"...No. Didn't I explain the reason? I just hate the palace and the set of rules." Qi Buqi was silent for a moment, and then quickly answered.
But Cheng Jiao really didn't believe what he said now.
Step [-] to achieve Yuelao: Can’t hold back anymore
The communication between Abandoned Buqi and Cheng Jiao made many problems that Cheng Jiao hadn't considered surfaced in his mind. Thinking of the consequences, he felt uneasy in his heart, but he was not quite reconciled.
He thinks differently from Qi Buqi. In his opinion, Qi Buqi abandons his ego for righteousness, but he is unwilling to do the same thing as Qi Buqi.
He could see that whether it was Ah Zheng or Qi Buqiu, although they had the blood of the Daqin royal family like himself, the thoughts and goals of the three brothers were probably different.
The previous incident was just a misunderstanding, but he was not happy that his life was casually destroyed or controlled by those powerful people for some trivial reasons.
Perhaps when traveling with Qi Buqi Zhaoyan, he is indeed the happiest, and he is indeed the most at ease with Qi Buqi Zhaoyan, but he knows better that both Qi Buqi and Zhaoyan are consciously cultivating He thinks independently.
He knew it was a good intention, but even if it was a good intention, he didn't want to accept it. He grew up in the palace, and he was always in extreme anxiety. Qibuqi and Zhaoyan can only change him temporarily, but they can't change him forever. When they leave him, he will return to his original appearance, and he knows that he will definitely change back.
Instead of passively waiting for myself to turn back into the sensitive, suspicious and uneasy person, it's better...to take everything into my own hands.
What Qi Buqi said couldn't scare him, or in other words, he didn't feel how difficult it is to master those things. As long as the power is in his own hands, others can only listen to him. He won't worry too much like Qi Buqi , he has traveled with them for so many years, he has already distinguished right from wrong and wrong, he doesn't need others to think, he just needs to act according to his own concept of good and evil, right and wrong!
Giving up and not crying means thinking too much, thinking too much, and worrying too much, so there are so many worries and concerns.
The current king of Qin will never let them go, so for the two brothers, he is not suitable for that position.At present, the only ones who are most suitable to sit in that position and do the right thing are him and Qi Buqi, but Qi Buqi is too sentimental, so he has to do it.
...
A few days later, when Cheng Jiao returned to the palace, more and more veterans began to gather around him, forming a force around him, faintly forming a posture of rivalry with King Qin.
Zhao Yan came to Qi Buqi's small courtyard, looked at Qi Buqi who was still leisurely sitting on the rocking chair he used to sit on, and stood still beside him.
Abandoned Buqi felt the shadow, frowned, opened one eye and saw the friend next to him, "You are blocking my sunshine."
"You just followed that child?" Zhao Yan asked sadly.
"Young people always have a bit of arrogance. I have said what I should say, and I have done what I should do. If he doesn't believe what I said, I can only let him experience it himself." Qi Buqi replied indifferently.
"Is it too cruel for him to try it himself?" Zhao Yan asked.
"We agreed not to make choices for him anymore. He has to be responsible for his own choices and life, not for us to arrange his life." Qi Buqi replied.
Zhaoyan immediately remembered everything that had happened with Cheng Jiao for nine years. At the beginning, it was not long after his biological father passed away, the ministers around Cheng Jiao were powerful, and the situation between Ah Zheng and Zhao Ji was unstable. If Jiao stays, he and Ah Zheng will become each other's sharpening stones, and there will be an open and secret struggle.
No matter what the result is, the hatred between Ah Zheng and Cheng Jiao will inevitably deepen, and after many years, there will be an ending where only one of them can survive.
Abandoning Buqi thought a lot at that time, not only because of the Haikou boast with the previous King of Qin, but also because of the positions and emotions of Ah Zheng and Cheng Jiao.
In his mind, he still had the dreamlike experience when he was young, thinking of the person in that dream, who had fought with himself for a lifetime and ended up miserable.
What was the last word that the child who once looked down on him from a high position said at the time of parting?
I don't remember... But when he first met him, what kind of god did he say, what did he say?
That's right, he said to himself arrogantly... "You are the child who grew up in the Zhao country? Hmph... When I become King Qin, I will make up for you."
Qi Buqi couldn't help laughing, that child never considered the situation that he couldn't be the King of Qin.
When he sat in that seat, the child's astonished and bewildered expression was still very clear.
Perhaps since he was born, others have raised him as a crown prince, and he has never thought about other possibilities for himself.
What he has seems like a lot, but his world is small, and he is also a victim in a way.
Where will he go after he discovers that he has lost all the value he was born with?
The self in the dream has no time to help him, enlighten him to re-establish a life goal for himself.
Now, in reality, he has achieved what he failed to do in his dream.
They have traveled all over the world, Cheng Jiao's world is no longer that small corner.He has the right to know what matters to him, and he has the right to choose his own life and bear the consequences of his choices.
He will only escort those two people in the days to come and give them some time to mess around.
Zhaoyan looked at Qibuqi who was smiling out of nowhere, his mind was full of incomprehension.
He only knows one thing now, Qi Buqi probably won't try hard to persuade Cheng Jiao to come to them.
After all, Qi Buqi is the one he needs to protect, Zhao Yan also did not try to persuade Qi Buqi to do what he wanted him to do, and left silently.
In the days that followed, the court hall was very lively, and from time to time you could see the secret struggle between the two forces.
But no matter what King Qin said, he has been sitting in the position of King Qin for nine years under Zhao Ji's hand-in-hand guidance. It is not too difficult for him to balance and control the situation.
He always holds righteousness, orthodox status, and has been in power for a long time. It is not easy to overthrow him, even if there are not a few people who support Cheng Jiao.
However, King Qin's governance methods are not just nonsense. Cheng Jiao returned to the court. People seem to be a little hesitant, and they are not going to stand in line for the time being.
Cheng Jiao knew that he urgently needed to make some achievements now, in order to stabilize his place in the court little by little.
And the fastest and perhaps the best way is to fight a war so that he can prove himself.
In order to achieve this purpose, he tried to promote a small war.
But this war is full of dangers. Not only are there enemies from the enemy country, but also assassins from the Qin country. If Zhao Yan hadn't appeared in time, he might have died on the battlefield directly.
After saving Cheng Jiao who almost died at the hands of his own people, Zhao Yan did not go back directly to the headquarters, but came to a hillside, and let Cheng Jiao see the simple telescope made by Tao Jiang, condescendingly watching the situation below I can't give up.
"Are you an idiot?" Before Cheng Jiao was surprised, he didn't put down the binoculars, and cursed.
Unconvinced and embarrassed, Cheng Jiao turned his gaze away, unwilling to answer any questions about Qi Buqi.
Abandoning Buqi glanced at Cheng Jiao, who was looking away, and laughed indifferently: "If you want to die, you can find a quiet place to stay by yourself. Why do you want to drag a group of strong men to mess around with you? Really let them No family left? Wasted food and resources of the population, just to satisfy your personal desires...they are really pitiful."
"You are enough! I just want to earn military merit. Once I succeed, I will not treat them badly! Even if they sacrificed, I will spend a lot of money to appease their relatives! You don't need to make sarcastic remarks! At least, at least I am better than you." Thinking of you watching from the sidelines like this, at least I did my best!"
Cheng Jiao was so annoyed by Abandoned Cry's words, he lost his temper directly at Abandoned Cry.
"It turned out to be a mess, almost lost my life, and even sacrificed an advance army." Qi Buqi said with a blank expression, "Since you did it, take your responsibility and don't lose your temper in front of me. , Say what you have worked hard, but others don't do it.
The matter was originally provoked by you, and you wanted to earn credit, but you didn't have enough ability to handle everything, so you should reflect on it. "
Abandoning Buqi's tone was already very severe, Cheng Jiao really couldn't say what he wanted to justify.
"To be honest, I'm not only disappointed by your behavior, but also by your performance in the war." Qi Buqi didn't seem to care whether his words would hurt Cheng Jiao at all, and continued on.
"Have you seen the terrain on site? What kind of battle formation should be adopted for what kind of terrain? What kind of soldiers should be the main one? It should have been mentioned in those military books, right? What did you command in the end? How did you manage this kind of forest terrain? Let the cavalry go? Did your brain get kicked by a donkey?"
Abandoning Buqii hated iron but steel, and knocked the telescope on Cheng Jiao's head directly.
This is just a small battle!Before the official start, putting yourself in danger in all directions... is enough.
When he heard the frantic ridicule of the general opposite, Qi Buqi's calm state of mind was directly shattered.
Cheng Jiao was taught by him himself. Hearing the ridicule of the other person, he felt flushed and felt ashamed that he couldn't lift his head.
