"You can't hide this matter from the Taoist priest, and I don't want to hide it from the Taoist priest." Jiang Xiaohan's fingertips slid across the edge of the jade-colored bowl: "It is true that the Taoist priest will walk with me, and I will be much safer. But no matter what, we I should also tell you everything, and it is up to you to decide."

"You said."

"It must have been known that the Taoist priest walked with me." Jiang Xiaohan said: "Right now, the Taoist priest has two choices. One is to be my friend and walk with me; the other is to be a stranger who just happened to enter the city together."

Yan Qing was a little puzzled: "What's the difference?"

"Dao has been in Kunlun for a long time, maybe I don't know it. Now, my majesty is getting old. After a serious illness a year ago, my health is not as good as before. So there are some things that I have to make early plans inside and outside the court." Jiang Xiaohan said: " His Majesty has seven princes. Excluding the eldest and second princes who died young, now only the third and fourth princes have grown up. The birth mother of the fifth prince is of low status. Even His Highness is shameless in front of His Majesty. The sixth prince is still young, and the seventh prince They are still in their infancy, and they are not suitable to inherit the great rule."

"Long is weak and Lin is strong, that's a big taboo." Yan Qing said.

"That's right." Jiang Xiaohan sighed: "Your Majesty has not decided on a candidate for the crown prince, but after all, the person who can inherit the great line can only choose one of the three or four princes. Some people are optimistic about being the eldest son. There are also people who look at the fourth highness with better aptitude, who divides the inside and outside of the hall like a rift, and regards the other party as a sworn enemy, and will never stop dying. While looking for the other party's faults, at the same time, they also want to kill power and money In order to suppress the other party, forming a party for personal gain, framing and false accusations are all common things.”

"This subordinate is the fault of the superior." Yan Qing frowned: "How can a person who will inherit the great line allow his subordinates to act recklessly like this?"

"Because the great rule has not yet been inherited." Jiang Xiaohan smiled: "The Taoist leader can understand after thinking about it. Although the prince is the king and the ministers are the ministers, in the end the king requires the ministers to achieve things. I have already stood in line, but after all, I claim to be a person who helps you achieve success. So there is nothing wrong with being arrogant. In addition, Your Highness has to rely on this group of people, so naturally they have to turn a blind eye to give some benefits. If it is too much, in the future Once you are enthroned, it will be settled slowly."

"If you don't restrain your subordinates, it's stupid; if you settle the matter afterwards, it's unrighteous." Most of the time, Yan Qing acted as if he had nothing to do with himself, and rarely expressed his feelings like this.He frowned, and shook his head in disapproval: "If the superior is like this, then the world will be innocent, the noble people will be innocent, and the common people will be innocent."

"Throughout the ages in the world, imperial power is nothing more than a means of weighing responsibilities." Jiang Xiaohan pursed his lips, glanced at the jade pendant around Yan Qing's waist, and lowered his head ashamed of himself: "Where there are people, there are people." Desire, and with desire comes weakness. No one is immune."

The sound insulation of the carriage was not good, but Jiang Ying turned a deaf ear to the conversation in the carriage, as if he didn't hear it.

Birds chirping outside the window, Yan Qing didn't speak anymore, the temperature of the medicine in Jiang Xiaohan's hand dropped, he silently lowered his head and drank the medicine juice, it was so bitter that his throat was numb.

The heavy ruts pressed against the road, making a dull creaking sound, and the rustling of the wind blowing leaves gradually became clearer. Jiang Xiaohan sighed softly in his heart, feeling that he could not wait for Yan Qing's answer.

"What about you?" Yan Qing suddenly asked, he didn't seem to care about others, he just asked Jiang Xiaohan: "Who are you loyal to?"

"Loyal to Your Majesty." Jiang Xiaohan put the jade bowl aside: "I'm just an ordinary courtier. I don't want to be a minister of great merit, and I don't want to be a traitor to be poked in the back by future generations. That's all."

What he said was an understatement, but it was always inevitable to bring out a sense of depression.

In a prosperous age, one can be a pillar of talent, and in a troubled age, one can become a man of great success. However, this kind of court, which seems to be safe for the country and the people, is actually a turbulent undercurrent, which forces people to advance and retreat.

The king is not for the country, and the minister is not for the people.

The mud and bones at the bottom of the river were tightly wrapped in clusters of flowers, exuding a rotten stench under the shell of gold and jade.

Everyone knows it, but everyone is whitewashing peace.

Only those who want to stay true to their hearts clearly say that it is so simple not to change, but in fact they are just gritting their teeth and trying hard to take root in the same place, and they have to stay awake so that they will not drift with the tide and become one of thousands of people one.

——It is also pitiful to be born at the wrong time.Yan Qing thought.

Jiang Xiaohan might be a little tired from leaning on his chest, and coughed lightly twice, Yan Qing came back to his senses, first put down the window frame on the carriage, and then reached out to touch his wrist.

"The injury is not healed yet, don't blow it." He said.

"Does the Taoist priest have any ideas?" Jiang Xiaohan asked softly, obediently resting his wrist on the soft pillow.

"Just tell the truth, since I promised to walk with you, I won't be afraid of these things." Yan Qing took his pulse for him, and said: "Although no muscles and bones were injured, but after all, the poison was pulled out, and the loss of energy and blood We have to make up for it slowly.”

Jiang Xiaohan turned a deaf ear and continued to speak with a smile on his face.

"Being friends with me may bring trouble to the Taoist priest, and even make people regard you and me as a party. Even in the future, when someone hunts down and kills me, the Taoist priest will also suffer unreasonable disasters. Isn't the Taoist priest afraid?"

He seemed to be afraid that Yan Qing would regret it in the future, so he insisted on tearing apart the nasty things along the way and stuffing them into Yan Qing's ears, wishing to scare the other party away on the spot before he gave up.

Yan Qing naturally understood, and didn't bother to talk to him: "The wound should be changed every three days. It can't be wet, and resting is the most suitable. The medicine should be taken twice in the morning and afternoon. After seven days, I will change the prescription for you."

"Is the Taoist priest making a decision?" Jiang Xiaohan insisted: "If something goes wrong in the future, the Taoist priest cannot go back on his word."

Yan Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore and glared at him: "Talk too much."

Jiang Xiaohan burst into a smile, accepted it as soon as he saw it, and cupped his hands as if begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it."

"Young Master." Jiang Ying outside the car suddenly said, "Pingjiang City is ahead."

"Really." Jiang Xiaohan paused, straightened his collar and sat up: "Have you sent a letter to the city in advance?"

"I have sent the postman to deliver it." Jiang Ying said: "Pingjiang Mansion Yin replied, saying that he will hold a banquet in Pingjiang Mansion Yamen in the evening to entertain the young master."

"understood."

"The visitor is not kind." Yan Qing said, "Are you going to the banquet?"

"It's nothing more than surrender. He can kill me outside the city, but if he enters the city, he doesn't have the guts to kill an important court official in his own territory. It's safe for me to enter the city swaggeringly." Jiang Xiaohan turned his head and looked at Yan Qing: "Although resting is not enough, it's not a bad thing to meet the legendary Governor of Pingjiang."
