At this time, Su Han, who was walking in the bamboo forest, said apologetically to Puyang Hongjun: "I really made my brother feel wronged today."
"There's nothing wrong with this. He is a prince after all, so it's okay to put on airs. Your brother is just a commoner. It's nothing to ask him to say a few words." Puyang Hongjun smiled indifferently.
Su Han shook his head slightly and sighed: "Originally, in the impressions of my Highness and me, he was just a royal brother with a straightforward personality and a hot temper. Moreover, he was also the royal brother who was relatively close to my Highness, but since we came
After arriving in Cangque County, some of his actions have already made us very uncomfortable, and after meeting in Wangyun City this time, his behavior is even more disappointing."
"Haha...that's all? What makes you confused is that you still have trouble getting over this hurdle in your heart." Puyang Hongjun said with a smile.
"I'm fine, but my Highness is not in a good mood. He has always valued family ties, but since the death of the late emperor, he seems to have lost all family ties. Obviously his relatives are still there, but he doesn't care about them at all.
He couldn't feel the warmth, except for calculations, just calculations. The disappointments again and again made his mood change a lot. But if he really wanted to cut off family ties quickly, it would be a bit difficult to think about it. And this time King Li's behavior...
I let him down again." Su Han put his hands behind his back and kicked the stones in front of his feet as he walked, not in a high mood.
Puyang Hongjun raised his lips again and said: "Whoever encounters this kind of thing will feel uncomfortable, just like me at the time. No matter how you say it, we are all members of the same clan. We originally thought we could live in peace, but there are people
I don’t want to be like this. When I decided to cut off these things, it was also very difficult, but I know that if I want to be soft-hearted again, I can only let the people who care and love me see my body, which will make them sad.
, but those people I originally wanted to be close to would not shed a tear for me, and would feel like they would be happy if they got rid of me, right?"
"Brother!" Su Han raised his head and looked at him.
Puyang Hongjun patted her shoulder and smiled warmly: "It doesn't have to be like this. Now I don't feel sad at all, but relaxed. Fortunately, I listened to you at that time. Otherwise, who is really sad now?"
That’s right, so the same goes for His Highness’s matter. The late emperor’s matter was a thorn in His Highness’s heart. Now that he knows the truth, he will definitely make the guilty person pay the price. This is the filial piety for the Son of Man, and I think the same goes for King Lai Li.
In such a state of mind, His Highness must consider what will happen after this incident. Now that you have understood it, don't hesitate. You have to make a decision whether to stay away or to replace him."
"I thought so too. Originally, I really didn't want him to sit in that position that everyone considered supreme. You know, as much power as there is in that position, there are also many responsibilities. How can a country have so many important responsibilities?
, and he is definitely a cold-blooded person. Although he is not merciless to his enemies, he has never been able to bear it when he was allowed to swing the knife at his own family. Even at that time, he was disrespected in the capital and he was repeatedly killed.
He has never killed those two bastard nephews, but the person sitting in that position is not cruel, cold-blooded, or ruthless. He cannot govern a country well at all, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty cannot do it at all.
He will obey. Another thing is that I am really afraid of the women in the harem. I can't adapt to him. If he ends up getting angry with him over some trivial things and makes him tired of me and alienates me, I won't be able to bear it. I simply can't stand it.
If I don't know how to fight in the palace, in that case, I might as well leave..." Su Han shook his head irritably.
She sighed again and said: "But when the day comes, if no one in Sheng Qin can take the position, he will have to step forward to take on this important task, and what I can do is
Only support.”
"No, how can the Xiao family be so poor that they don't even have anyone who can be the emperor? Just think about it. You must know that your highness's lineage comes from the late emperor. If there is no one in this lineage,
Others can succeed, and they can only choose from other side factions, but no matter how they choose, they will not be of Xiao family blood. There will be a way. Come to think of it, King Chen is not willing to do it. He really wants to be locked up.
In that position, if you want to travel around the world as much as you want, you really can't." Puyang Hongjun spoke in a relaxed tone and comforted her with a smile.
Su Han curled his lips and said: "State affairs are the most important thing!"
"But I think he is unwilling. In fact, it is because of His Highness King Chen's ability. If he really wanted that position, he could have gotten it no matter who was in that position when the late emperor passed away. But he
No, all he wants is to find out the truth behind the death of the late emperor. If Sheng Qin is given to him now, come to think of it, he won't want it." Puyang Hongjun clasped his hands behind his back and said leisurely
Walk on this bamboo path.
Su Han quickly caught up and said, "What if something happens?"
"There is no such thing as a contingency. If there is really no adult available, why not train him from an early age? Isn't the little Prince Ming that you brought back from the capital pretty good? There are not incompetent people around him. Let's help him together.
Just train him to become a wise king, is it so difficult?" Puyang Hongjun turned around and looked at her in confusion.
How could such a simple question stump such a shrewd couple?
After Su Han blinked, there was a happy smile on her face. She really ignored this little guy. Yes, he was a legitimate prince.
When the two came back from the bamboo forest, they saw Xiao Muting and Gu Muyun sitting at the table in the pavilion drinking wine.
"You two are a bit unreasonable. Why didn't you wait for us to come back and drink together? But the bamboo building in your highness's bamboo forest is very artistic. How about we move there." Puyang Hongjun naturally proposed himself
requirements.
Everyone moved to the Bamboo House, and after everyone had a glass of wine, Puyang Hongjun took out a blueprint from his arms and handed it to Xiao Muting.
"Here is a topographic map from the capital ten years ago. To be precise, it is a topographic map of the secret passages within the capital. I don't know if it will be useful for your operation this time. I will leave it to you first and make your own decision."
"Ten years ago? You secretly told me!" Su Han's eyes widened in surprise.
Puyang Hongjun smiled proudly: "Yes, the current capital of Sheng Qin was originally the land of a prince in the previous dynasty, but it was not a glorious place, but the place where he was imprisoned. This
The vassal king also wanted to protect himself, so he started to build a secret tunnel in the palace where he originally lived. There were also people from my clan who followed him at that time. After the tunnel was completed, it turned out to be of great use.
When the previous emperor ordered him to die, he took his family and followers, fled through the tunnel, set a fire, and destroyed the palace."
Xiao Muting looked up at him and held up the drawing in his hand: "But you just said that this was from ten years ago."
"Yes, ten years ago, the clan received such a drawing again. This person claimed to be a descendant of the clan. He only handed the drawing back to fulfill the last wish of his ancestors. However, the clan members at that time did not take it seriously at all.
The matter was stored away. If it weren't for the fact that you are going back to the capital this time, and I also thought that the previous clan leader mentioned this matter, but couldn't find it, your highness had better send someone to investigate first. In the past ten years,
Whether it is still the same as before, so as not to take the wrong path." Puyang Hongjun nodded to him.
"You've given away all your wealth, is that true? You won't be gossiped about, right?" Su Han looked at him worriedly.
"Now that I am the clan leader, it is up to my clan leader to decide whether to take it out and who to give it to. It has nothing to do with others!" Puyang Hongjun said with confidence, holding his neck.
"My brother is mighty and domineering. I support you! Do it!" Su Han raised his glass and touched it with him before drinking down the wine in one gulp.
When Xiao Muting looked at Puyang Hongjun, he also had a sincere smile and his eyes flashed with gratitude.
