Qingchuan History

Chapter 12 Chenxiangtai Night Talk
At the end of May in Wei State, it is still spring, and when the night is late, the cool air will rise.The evening wind blew two robes, one black and one purple, on the Chenxiang platform. The two sat there calmly, no one knew what they said, how could they have so much to say.And basically no one knew that they still referred to each other as you and me in private, just like when Murong Xun was not enthroned, there were no monarchs and ministers, they were more like close friends, maybe a little bit like lovers.

This scene lasted for many years in Cangwu City, and until a long time later, it still remained in the memories of the night soldiers in the palace and the night watchmen on the street.

As a result, when the painters and painters of the later generations painted the Chenxiang Terrace, they couldn't help but draw two figures, one mysterious and one purple, as if no one had been there in the next few hundred years, and it seemed that they were the only ones from the beginning to the end. The two of them looked at the quiet mountains and rivers of the Qingchuan Continent in the dark.

They were too young at that time, and they only hoped that the wheel of fate would turn quickly.It will take a long time to understand that it is good to be able to sit quietly like this.

Jing Tingge's words were clear enough, and it would be embarrassing if she didn't understand. "It's a pity. I thought your senior sister's entry into Jidu was the end of the green apple of this gale."

Jing Tingge glanced at him: "Da Qi has been strong for a hundred years, it's not that easy. You have to be patient."

"I still want to know," he also looked at her with heavy eyes, "Why me?"

Jing Tingge let out a long breath, this was the question she was most lazy to discuss again and again. "Didn't I say that? If you want to achieve fame, you must naturally help the weaker side. If I go to Qi State to be a counselor, who will think that the prosperity of Qi is my credit?"

"But if you want to move the territory of the world, it will definitely lead to wars and bring casualties to the people, and Lord Ji Ji agrees?" Murong Xun said slowly, looking into the bottomless night.

He had never asked such a question before, but she did not expect to have such thoughts today.

Ruan Xueyin also asked the teacher this question when she was going down the mountain.

"The teacher said that she hopes to see the unification of Qingchuan in her lifetime." She hesitated for a moment and decided to answer. After all, the answer did not affect Pengxishan's position. Short-term pain, fighting for a while, in exchange for a thousand years of peace."

"That's why Ji Ji trained you? Let the two girls stir up the world? Why doesn't she do it herself?"

"I don't think this is the teacher's intention. It was I who proposed to go down the mountain to Cangwu; my senior sister went to Jidu, and it was Mr. Ying who went up the mountain to ask for it. If we both live in Pengxi Mountain in this life, I believe she will I will not say anything. The teacher does not participate in the battle on this continent, it is out of character; and the student is recruited in order not to lose his ability, these two artifacts, there can be successors."

"Then why not directly support Qi State? Isn't it the fastest and safest to directly help the strongest party if the world is to be unified?"

"If there hadn't been a bloody battle at Fengting Pass, the Qi Kingdom could indeed consider unifying the world in this dynasty." She picked up another purple jade cup and filled it with tea and handed it to him,
"Back when Gu Yecheng established the Qi State, it already took advantage of the deep foundation laid by the Yuwen family. The Gu family was indeed the chosen family. It was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty for three consecutive dynasties. By the late period of His Majesty Dingzong, the national strength and military strength had been fully reserved. Who would have thought that the closure of Tingguan would not only deplete the national strength, but also destroy the crown prince.”

Murong Xun slowly drank the tea in his cup, and Fang said: "It is indeed the chosen one. Gu Xinglei, who is about to start an unprecedented prosperity, unexpectedly has Gu Xinglang. It is said that although Gu Xinglang has great strategies, It's not as good as Gu Xinglei's imperial air, after all these years, I don't think he loses to his elder brother."

"The two sons-in-law are so outstanding, His Majesty Dingzong is really lucky. The rest of them are either idle princes or too young. Gu Xinglang did not encounter any obstacles to seize the throne, so they just ascended the throne. Fu, Qi Guo was not at all chaotic at that time." She was also a little emotional, and said faintly:
"Every time I think about this incident, I feel that Daqi's vitality can last at least a hundred years."

These words sounded a little heartbreaking, and they didn't answer his question at all, Murong Xun frowned slightly: "So?"

Hearing his tone slightly different, Jing Tingge realized that what he had said was a little embarrassing, so he said slowly:
"But the teacher said that Gu Xinglang lacked ambition. Although he has the talent of an emperor, he doesn't have the ambition to rule the world."

"Is this seen on the obsidian curtain?"

"Maybe. My senior sister knows better about this." She pouted,
"But in fact, you can see it. He has been very effective in restoring national power in the past seven years, and has even improved. He has also done an excellent job of checks and balances against the other three countries. The style of action is too gentle, not the material for killing and decisive. The year before last In order to reduce the casualties of the people to the greatest extent due to the flood in the Qi State, the Habayashi Army was dispatched. The so-called loving the people like a son is nothing more than that. For such a person, you let him start a war in disregard of the lives of the people, no matter how you look at it, it is too reluctant."

"According to what you said, he is a first-class benevolent monarch. If some country launches a war to fight for the world in the future, wouldn't it be an unjust teacher?"

"It's two different things. I agree with the teacher's point of view. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If he can't figure out this truth, or is unwilling to practice it, it's because he doesn't have a big enough structure and a long-term vision. Then let someone more competent Be the master of Qingchuan."

"I acquiesced that you came to Cangwu because you thought I could."

Jing Tingge looked at him, with a smile on his lips, "Not bad."

"Among the four nations, Wei is the weakest."

"Weakness now does not mean weakness in the future."

"If it's true, as the rumors suggest, Lord Jiji has a feud with the Ruan family, it's reasonable for you not to choose the Yin country. What about the Bai country?"

Jing Tingge was thinking about how to answer this question, and suddenly remembered a theory from Ruan Xueyin, which is appropriate to put here:
"My senior sister once said that what ultimately drives events, trends, and even determines history in this world is not the momentary trend, but only the person. If this person is strong enough, the desperate situation can be reversed, or even rewrite the world's situation; if the person is wrong, No matter how good the momentum is, there will be a day when it will be exhausted. She has read more history than me, and I trust her in these things."

"So, you haven't taken a fancy to Ying and Bai Erjun?"

Jing Tingge almost rolled his eyes, "The two of them are nearly fifty years old. Although fifty years old is not considered old for an emperor, they haven't done anything well after sitting in that position for decades. Is there any hope? Besides, the crown prince of the Bai Kingdom died young and has not yet established a heir. I watched it coldly, and I am afraid that there are no good seedlings; as for the Crown Prince of the Yin Kingdom," she pouted, "What do you think? "

Ruan Ji, the second son of the emperor of the Kingdom of Ying, is the eldest son and the eldest son, and he established the crown prince early.It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also intelligent when he was young, although he was not considered extremely talented, if he taught him well, it would not be a problem for him to ascend the throne in the future.Unexpectedly, the little prince had a serious illness when he was eight years old. After recovering from the illness, his brain was not as good as before. He was not stupid, but he was still slower than ordinary people.The gentleman's heirs are not well-connected, there are two sons in total, and the fifth son of the emperor is left, who has always been unpopular, to what extent?Yin Jun would rather keep the dull present prince, and so far there is no easy storage.

Of course Murong Xun understood what she meant: "Well, Mr. Yin is still determined to fight for the world, and he doesn't know who will inherit it if he wins."

"The affairs of the Yin Kingdom are always so strange that even the teacher's attitude towards the Ruan family is incomprehensible. Who knows, maybe it is because there may be no successors, so he is determined to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Ruan family in his lifetime. Fight for it Besides, what if you can grow old and have a son?" Jing Tingge shrugged, still as cute as when he first came here five years ago.

Murong Xun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and wanted to raise his hand to touch her head, but he finally held back.

"But you still haven't answered, why me. I'm luckier than Mr. Yin, my father's sons are all pretty good, and Murong's prestige is even higher than mine."

Jing Tingge was about to answer when he was startled suddenly, as if he remembered something.After a while she waved her hand:

"There are too many things you need to know every day, so don't ask about irrelevant things. It's useless." After finishing speaking, she looked at the night sky in the distance, and subconsciously poked her neck, not knowing what she was looking at.

Murong Xun was annoyed, thinking that it would be fine if you just praised me a few words, for example, Murong Xun just has a false name, you are the real strong one and so on.

"Your Majesty, it's almost Zishi, do you want to drive back?" A voice of inquiry came from the third step down from the Chenxiang Terrace.

Murong Xun didn't answer, he wanted to say something, but he heard Jing Ting sing: "Your Majesty, hurry back and rest, I don't need to get up early, you have to take care of your body."

It is indeed too late.He withdrew his doubts and certain emotions, and stood up.I have to say that although Murong Xun can't be called a handsome man, he is handsome, and the most important thing is that he is heroic. Standing there alone, he is as powerful as a thousand troops, just like those birch trees that are everywhere in Cangwu City .

Five years have passed, and he is still the same as that time, very much like the unrivaled hero in legendary novels.

Jing Tingge was a little satisfied, a smug smile that she didn't even notice appeared on her face.After all, a person who is good at martial arts is just not as resourceful as Gu Xinglang, and Qingchuan is good at martial arts, so in the end he has to win the world on horseback.

Murong Xun felt hairy all over when she looked at him, he coughed and said, "You should go back earlier too. You are built with mountains and rivers, not obsidian lanterns, what do you do at night every day."

Jing Ting Ge Xin thinks it wasn't for your long-winded questions, I would have gone back a long time ago.

Huo Qi was nearby, she would not say such words.But in fact, in Huo Qi's view, it was absolutely unnecessary for the two of them to restore the title of monarch and minister in front of him. When Jing Tingge came five years ago, he was serving by Murong Xun's side.How these two people get along in daily life, he should be the third person who knows best in the world.

He was holding a black cloak in his hand, and when Murong Xun approached, he would put it on for him.But Murong Xun took the clothes over, turned back, walked behind Jing Tingge, raised his hand as if to put them on for her.In just a moment, he changed his movements, put the cloak on the dragon pattern chair he was sitting on just now, and said casually:
"Put it on when you get back."
