Although I had already thought of this possibility, when I actually heard about it, my heart skipped a beat and I looked at Wei Ningyuan in shock.

There is a daughter in the Han family, and the mother will be honored throughout the world?!

Mother honors the world!

I suddenly thought of the dignified and virtuous person in the imperial city who had given me countless warmth and protection. She was one of the few people in the cold imperial city that I could wholeheartedly trust—Chang Qing. Could it be that one day,

Will her place be taken by someone else?

When I think of this, my brows tighten.

Not only because, if that happens, the world is destined to undergo earth-shaking changes, but I think that people like Chang Qing are the role models for the world. If someone really wants to take her place - and

It doesn’t matter whether she wants it or not, but no matter what, she will definitely be hurt!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown.

At this time, Wei Ningyuan said: "Of course, these words are just some rumors among the people. It may also be deliberately fabricated by some people in order to flatter the King of Jiangxia."

I didn’t feel very happy, so I sneered and said, “It’s so well-written to suit the occasion.”

"It's just——" Wei Ningyuan changed the topic: "If they really take it seriously..."

I raised my eyebrows.

If they really mean it——

No wonder Han Ruoshi follows Pei Yuanxiu so wholeheartedly, and Han Zitong even wanted to kill me when we first met. This involves more than just the love of a woman.

I smiled lightly.

In my life, I have always hoped to be kind to others, at least not to make enemies, but no matter what, there will always be people who can't tolerate me in their eyes. But after all, what have I done to make people yell at me to beat me and kill me?<

/p>

Wei Ningyuan looked at my smile and said softly: "Mrs. Qingying, when the former prince tried a knife in Dongzhou, 400,000 troops pressed into the country, corpses were everywhere, and mourners were everywhere. Although I didn't witness it with my own eyes,

As you can imagine, he fought that battle for you."

I raised my head.

Only a short section of the candlestick was left on the table. The candle flame was fluttering and almost extinguished. The extinguished fire illuminated my eyes with the same darkness and uncertainty. "So you want to say, if there is a war in Jiangnan, follow me."

Can’t we get away with it?”

"Don't dare."

Wei Ningyuan said hurriedly: "I just feel that someone has opened the edge of the prince's sword. If you want the sword to not see blood, you must-"

"Haha," I couldn't help but smile and said calmly: "Master Ningyuan, you really think highly of me in this regard."

"Mrs. Qingying..."

I stood up and walked aside, opened the cabinet and took out a candle. At this time, the candle light became weaker and weaker, and the whole room was almost plunged into darkness. I slowly walked back to the table and spoke word by word.

: "Let me tell Mr. Ningyuan something."

"Please say."

"It is easy to fight for one person, but it may not be possible to stop fighting for one person."

Wei Ningyuan looked at me in astonishment.

I leaned over and lit the new candle. The candle flame flickered and lit up, and the surrounding area gradually became brighter. Under such bright firelight, I looked at Wei Ningyuan with clear and calm eyes.

Said: "Master Ningyuan, I am not trying to shirk this sentence. If you think about it carefully, you will understand."

Wei Ningyuan didn't speak, just sat there, thinking deeply.

Although it sounds a bit cruel to say it, it is the fact. From ancient times to the present, we have indeed heard many stories about people who were angry and became a beauty, but these stories are just made up by storytellers to deceive the people. If war is just for

How can a beauty earn back the thousands of lives lost and injured, the thousands of silver taels consumed, and the tens of thousands of land taken away from her?

In the final analysis, the essence of war is interests, what is unfair is interests, what is fought for is interests, and only interests can support war.

Take the battle in Dongzhou, it was said that it was fought for me, but could it be that the 400,000 troops came to the border just to snatch Yue Qingying, who could not eat or drink, and could not even be sold for a few taels of silver even if it was cut into pieces?

Everyone behind the war is not a fool.

After a while, Wei Ningyuan raised his head and looked at me. He didn't say anything, but I could hear him sighing.

I smiled lightly.

In fact, I know that he may not really agree with what I said, but my words are not unreasonable at all. So I said softly: "Master Ningyuan, whether you agree with what I said or think I am trying to shirk the blame, I am now

I really don’t want to get involved in these things anymore. In the past, I really cared enough and enough. Now, I just want to live a good life with my daughter and spend more time on her and me.

People you love and care about, such as——"

"...Huh?" He raised his head and looked at me.

"For example, Yu'er."

"Yu Mei?"

I smiled lightly and said: "Master Ningyuan and Yu'er have been together for so long, you-"

When he heard this, his expression immediately changed, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "Madam, please don't misunderstand me."

"Huh?"

"Mei Yu is indeed a good girl, smart and kind, and I like her very much, but it's not that kind of relationship."

"Oh?"

"After she rescued me, she took me in at home and helped me get a doctor to treat my injuries. She was a life-saving grace and a rebirth for me. It's just that we were alone together like this because we were afraid that she would be gossiped about.

I ruined my reputation, so I became sworn brother and sister with her. Moreover, I sincerely love her as my sister, and hope she can find her right husband as soon as possible."

Hearing what he said, I felt a little embarrassed: "Sorry, it seems I have thought too much."

He waved his hand and said: "Madam thinks so because she is also worried about Sister Yu. Her mood is the same as mine. It's just that I still have unfinished business in my heart, and I don't care about talking about my children's personal affairs, nor do I care about finding someone for this sister."

Home, she has been following me around these days, and it is really because I am my elder brother that I am dragging her down."

I smiled and said, "It is not only Yu'er's good fortune to have a man like Mr. Ning Yuan in the court, but it is the good fortune of millions of people."

"Mrs. Qingying said that, I am being ridiculous." He sighed and said: "I have been an official for many years, but I have not made any achievements, and now it is even more..."

Seeing the frustrated expression on his face, I sighed softly in my heart.

It seems that I think too much about the relationship between him and Yu'er. Just seeing his current situation, but still thinking about the court wholeheartedly, I can't help but think of his mentor Liu Yi, with swords and swords.

Even though he suffered such a miserable outcome, he still died for Jiangnan.

I can't help but feel a little bitter.

After a moment of silence, I reluctantly put on a smile, as if I wanted to comfort him, and said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Ningyuan does not need to be so worried. Although things in Jiangnan are dangerous, the court is not vulnerable. And in my opinion,

Come on, the emperor’s new policy will be a good thing for the country and the people, maybe——”

Before I finished speaking, I saw the wrinkles between Wei Ningyuan's eyebrows getting deeper.

I asked in confusion: "Master Ningyuan, what's wrong?"

He said: "Mrs. Qingying also knows about the emperor's new policy?"

"Well, I learned about it a few days ago. Mr. Ningyuan may not know yet, but the new policy of dividing the land into households was exactly what Liu -" said when he was still in this room.

Choking, he swallowed the name: "He imagined it."

"Oh?" Wei Ningyuan was a little surprised: "Is it him?"

"Yes, so the emperor must have made up his mind about this new deal. In addition, the Shen family has fallen, and the biggest obstacle to the court has been removed. As long as the new deal can be implemented to the end-"

When my words came to an end, I saw his brows furrow again.

What's going on?

Is there something wrong?

Thinking of this, I asked gently: "Master Ningyuan, do you have any opinions on the New Deal?"

"No, of course not," he said hurriedly: "To be honest, I really admire the new policy implemented by the emperor this time. The emperor can innovate, forge ahead, eliminate shortcomings, and implement policies that benefit the country and the people.

It is really a blessing to all people in the world. If you still have opinions on this new policy, it is your problem."

"But I see that Mr. Ningyuan seems to be full of worries about the implementation of the New Deal. What's the problem?"

Wei Ningyuan raised his head and looked at me. Inadvertently, his eyebrows were filled with haze again.

I said: "Master Ningyuan, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

He was silent for a long time, with his eyebrows twisted into a knot, and finally said slowly: "I just have a vague feeling that the time to implement the New Deal is not right."

"Why is it wrong?"

"Madam, let me give you an inappropriate analogy. If there is a person who hides treasures in his home and attracts the prying eyes of many thieves, but he is suffering from an emergency, how should he deal with it?"

I thought about it and said: "Of course we should cure the disease first, and then find a way to deal with those thieves."

"Yes," Wei Ningyuan nodded, and added, "But if the thief has already reached the door, should he still be treated first?"

"Of course not," I said with a smile: "This matter needs to be prioritized. Of course he -"

Having said this, I was speechless.

He raised his head and looked at Wei Ningyuan. His expression looked more solemn under the flickering candlelight.

"In my opinion, the current situation of the emperor - or rather the dynasty - is plagued by chronic diseases, just like a person suffering from a serious illness, but there are barbarian soldiers from the grasslands in the north looking at him with eager eyes, and there is a prince in the south who is dividing the country in the south of the Yangtze River. Just like the thieves have already arrived at the door.

At this time, thinking about treating the disease first is actually putting the cart before the horse."

I couldn't help but be shocked.

I don't know Wei Ningyuan very well, but I also know that this person is cautious and his words and deeds are unusual. Otherwise, Pei Yuanhao would not choose him to guard Jiangnan after Huang Tianba. But now, he has done what he did to the emperor.

Comments like "putting the cart before the horse" show the depth of his worries.

Is it really Pei Yuanhao’s problem?

I said: "But you just said that the emperor's new policy is good for the country and the people. As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Is it possible that the emperor's benevolent policy is wrong and not conducive to the stability of the political situation?"<
