"This guy Qingqing thinks that I am a person who is extremely greedy for power." Xia Shang pondered, and looking at his sworn look, it would be difficult to explain to him even if he thought about it.
However, this kid is somewhat smart for being able to make such inferences from appearances, but he lacks some experience and understanding of human nature, and thinks everything is simpler.
Xia Shang sighed in his heart, and did not explain anything, but asked: "You are very direct, and you can say whatever you dare to be a puppet. In your mind, am I a person with such great ambitions?"
"Based on the student's understanding of the teacher, it is natural that he does not believe that the teacher is a person who is greedy for power. However, under this situation, with the teacher's ability, he can quickly solve the mystery of the capital as long as he chooses to join any team. But the teacher has no one.
Help, making it difficult for students to understand. After thinking about it, I can only guess that the gentleman acted like this because he did not want to be inferior to others."
"It's okay if you have such a view." Xia Shang nodded.
"Students are not greedy for power in the world, they just hope to be a good emperor and benefit the people. But none of them really care about the world and the people, they just want to win."
Xia Shang looked at Li Zijin's firm eyes and could see his sincerity at this moment.
Li Zijin is right. Among these princes, he is probably the only one who serves the people wholeheartedly.
From this point of view, Li Zijin is more suitable to sit in that position than anyone else.
However, Xia Shang had hesitated on this issue for a long time, and it was impossible to give a clear answer at such an instant.
After a moment of silence, Xia Shang whispered: "Let's stop talking about it today. This matter is of great importance and I need to think about it carefully."
Li Zijin was about to say something else, but Xia Shang interrupted and shouted: "Master Wang, please send His Highness King Cheng away."
The people outside returned to the cell, and it was hard to say anything in front of these people.
Li Zijin was a little disappointed, lowered his head and handed over his hands: "Sir, please think about it more."
Li Zijin left, but Xia Shang looked at the direction he left and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, Xia Shang was really moved this time.
First of all, this child is a good person and is born with the temperament of a wise king.
Secondly, this child is his student. From an emotional point of view, if you can help him, you should naturally help him first.
In the end, except for this child, the other second princes, third princes, and even the queen were not Xia Shang's choices.
It would not be good for the world for any of these three forces to gain power, and Xia Shang did not want his children to participate in this huge whirlpool.
Xia Shang has no choice now, that's because he feels he can still escape.
When one day comes when he has to choose, Xia Shang will most likely side with the queen. After all, people have feelings, and big things will be affected by personal relationships. Even if the queen is wrong, Xia Shang
Now that I have no choice, I can only help her make the mistake.
It's different now. With Li Zijin, if he can successfully help Li Zijin ascend to the throne, Xia Shang will not have to help the queen. Letting his children wade through this muddy water is the most correct choice for the world.
Even if Li Zijin cannot become a wise king in the future, Xia Shang is still confident that he can bring some substantial changes and progress to Dahua with his own suggestions.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang had a smile on his face.
But soon the smile gradually solidified again.
The struggle for imperial power is no small matter, and one wrong step can lead to an abyss.
Li Zijin was only seventeen years old. He could have gone to Liang County to live a carefree life, but if he fell into a whirlpool because of his help, if something happened one day, Xia Shang would be harmed.
This child.
"What are you thinking about?"
A familiar and subtle voice suddenly appeared in my ears.
Xia Shang was stunned and raised his head.
A woman whose whole body was hidden under a black robe was looking at Xia Shang inside with a smile through an iron fence.
"The Queen..."
The queen reached out and touched the dark cell bars, glanced around and found that no one was there, then lifted the hood of her black robe to reveal her pretty face.
"If there is no one else, why would you call me empress? Is it possible that you are still angry?"
The queen smiled, without any hint of the queen's arrogance, and her words were a bit more coquettish, which was more in line with her age.
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm looking at you. What? You're not welcome?"
Xia Shang shook his head and stopped talking.
The queen did not enter the cell, but looked at Xia Shang carefully from outside. The friendship in her eyes flickered, and everyone in the world
Only Xia Shang could see the empress showing such an expression.
"Why are you kneeling in the main hall?"
"You are the Queen, and it is natural for all ministers to kneel down."
"Stop lying, this is not the real reason."
"if not?"
"You and I have only been together for a short time, but I am also your close confidant, so I can guess a little bit about your thoughts."
"Don't think too much, it's just the situation that forces you to kneel down."
"Perhaps the situation in the main hall does have an impact, but in your heart you feel sorry for me, am I right?"
Xia Shangyi frowned, but he didn't expect this woman to really guess what was in his heart.
He had little interaction with this woman, and he would never have thought that she could guess his innermost thoughts.
Seeing the strange expression on Xia Shang's face, the queen smiled happily. Her body hidden under the black robe was in full bloom for a while: "I got it right! Giggle..."
Xia Shang frowned and explained in a low voice: "In any case, I asked you to take care of the child alone for a long time, but you failed to fulfill even half of your responsibility. I really owe you a lot for this."
Seeing Xia Shang's serious expression, the queen gradually stopped smiling. She stood close to the iron railing and looked at Xia Shang with burning eyes: "Come over here."
"What?" he asked, but he still walked over.
The queen gradually closed her eyes, stretched out her hand, put it on Xia Shang's face, pulled Xia Shang's face down in front of her, then slowly tilted her head, and gently pressed her forehead against Xia Shang's forehead.
superior.
Xia Shang's heart skipped a beat, and his face felt a little hot for no reason. He never thought that this woman would suddenly look so clean and pure.
"Xia Shang! This is what fascinates me about you... Why can't you be like a man in the world? This way I can be more cruel to you... Do you know? Sometimes I will think,
Should I just give up everything, let go of my obsessions and fly away with you? Unfortunately...I still cannot have such determination."
Xia Shang wanted to raise his head, but was only held back by the other party. He said angrily: "Don't move! Let me smell you. The two of us are like tug-of-war now. I am trying my best to pull you to my side."
, I hope you can become emperor for me, but you are holding me back desperately, hoping that I will give up power for you. Who do you think will win in the end?"
