Qingchuan History

Chapter 86

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son. If you can use your brains, you will never use your hands. If you can use tricks, you will never see blood. This is not the judgment of Ruan Zhong alone, but the opinion of the entire continent. As for Ruan Bi, he may be prepared, but once the country changes My lord, all preparations are in vain. Such a result is what your majesty would most like to see. And Ruan Zhong is willing to make an oath that he will never initiate or instigate war in his lifetime."

The tea in the cup was exhausted, Gu Xinglang started to turn the cup.

"Oaths are something that can only be used as an aid to express one's heart, but cannot be counted."

"This is also the second reason I want to talk to you. It is a more practical reason that is enough for you to consider helping me." He paused, his tone and expression were solemn:

"In the future when Ruan Zhong ascends the throne, he would like to send the five cities of Yundong and Daqi to him. It is not for the land itself, but only for expressing his heart."

Shock again.Even Gu Xinglang was puzzled, a person who wants to force the palace to rule the country, what kind of way is this?
"The five cities in Yindong, one-sixth of the land of Yin Kingdom. It is indeed very attractive. Do you know what it means?"

"Ruan Zhong has no intention of fighting for the world. He only wants to keep the peace of Yin country. If ceding the city can win the trust of the emperor, he will not hesitate."

"You really paid a sky-high price for this throne. So we still have to go back to the first question, why do you have to be king? Just because Ruan Bi is not capable enough, and it's not your biological father?"

Ruan Zhong was silent.

Gu Xinglang's curiosity boiled over, "Just now you said that Ruan Bi was wrong, as if he was for the country. But I looked at it coldly, and it didn't look like the root cause, but more like a plausible excuse."

His thoughts turned again, "If it is due to personal ambition, a person who is willing to use the city to express his determination to resist war," he sneered, "I can't even be sure if he is really ready to be a king."

"Your Majesty is right. Ruan Zhong asked himself, he is not ambitious."

Di Yan and Shen Ji became more and more confused.Gu Xinglang patiently and slowly said:

"If you want me to support you, then I want the real reason, the most important one."

Ruan Zhong remained silent.

After a long while, he looked at Gu Xinglang seriously, and there seemed to be a bit of warmth on his gloomy face: "It is said that your lord has read all the books in the world and understands the truth of the world. If I say that I am doing it for one person, you can be trusted." ?”

"Everything in the world, in the final analysis, is for people, whether it is for myself or for others, I naturally believe it."

"Ruan Zhong, it's for himself, but in the final analysis, it's for another person."

Gu Xinglang's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Use the strength of the city to be the man of the city. Since ancient times, if a man wants to achieve great things, not for responsibility, not for personal ambition, not for blood and deep hatred, and not for family, country and world, then it can only be for the sake of it," he stared at him. ,"woman."

"As expected, Your Majesty, you have lived up to your reputation."

Gu Xinglang smiled: "I don't know why, you have said so much today, until now, I feel a little credible."

"Because the ultimate reason I gave was a woman?"

"Because of your expression when you said these few words."

Ruan Zhong was slightly stunned.Insight into people's hearts is definitely one of the most brilliant skills among many, not to mention the speed of the other party's fast, almost instantaneous response.

What he didn't know was that the reason why Gu Xinglang was fast was not only because of his talent and brain power, but also because he was facing the same problem recently: women.

It's bad.It's not that he didn't worry about women.In the past, he thought he fell in love with Wan Ling, but Wan Ling became the third brother's fiancée; when the third brother passed away unexpectedly, Ji Wanling began to suspect him, and even entered the palace to find out the truth, and had a cold war with him for a whole year.

He did fret about it, and he was frustrated with not being able to prove his innocence, but none of it interfered with his day-to-day life, much less disrupted the course of his life.

This time it was really bad.Even if he barely maintains his state, he still finds it strenuous.Just now Ruan Zhong mentioned her name twice, and he himself had to say it once, a total of three times, each time he couldn't hold back his heart.

It's just a name.

absurd.

The room fell into silence again, Gu Xinglang was a little distracted, and Ruan Zhong also seemed to be wandering.Di Yan and Shen Ji looked at each other, the time had come, and they didn't know whether they should remind Jun Shang to return to the palace.

Gu Xinglang woke up first.

"Because of being a confidante in a rage, I have only read about it in books and legendary stories that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is really new to hear people say that."

Ruan Zhong was taken aback for a moment, his expression became a little indescribable, as if embarrassed.Thinking about it, he hadn't talked to anyone much, and he wasn't used to talking about it.Embarrassment appeared on his gloomy and tough face, which made this person a little warmer.

"Actually, it's not that legendary. It's just," he paused, as if he was considering whether to say it, and said for a while, "I have never been liked by my father since I was a child, let alone valued. My mother died young, and I have been taken care of by a wet nurse in the Chuying Palace. Your Majesty naturally knows how difficult it is for a prince who is rejected by his father to be in the palace. Sometimes I even feel that I am not as good as a servant. At least they have companions, errands, and even wishes and goals."

His eyes became far away, as if caught in the past.

"Your Majesty may not believe it. Before I was eight years old, I didn't study much. Ruan Bi didn't arrange a teacher for me, and never asked me about my homework. Like Your Majesty, Master Ji Huan taught me since I was four years old. Ruan Zhong couldn't even think about the blessings in this life. I was alone in the deep palace, isolated and helpless, and I couldn't see the way forward. At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that my heart was ashamed."

"Then a girl appeared and asked you to decide to change the status quo no matter what."

Ruan Zhong looked at Gu Xinglang, his expression became complicated: "That's right. When I was eight years old, someone told me that no one loves you, so you should love yourself even more. One day you will become very good, the best, Even if no one loves you and cherishes you, at least someone appreciates and respects you. People value themselves, if it makes you happy, then do it. Become the best people in the world."

"After many years, until today, whenever I feel that the road ahead is dark, I will think of these words. I hope to become the best person, at least someone who can make her admire and admire. On that day, I will stand Come up to her and ask her if she can come to me."

This story, although told plainly, is really moving.

Di Yan and Shen Ji felt so, and so did Gu Xinglang.

He thought again of what Ruan Xueyin said to him on the Mingguang Terrace on the night of Tianlong Festival.From that day to today, on many quiet nights, he would always think of the phrase "When the sun rises and the moon sets, do your best, and your heart is at peace", and he felt warm and at ease.

So in those nights, he always thought of her.

It will take a long time before he is completely sure that this kind of thinking is actually missing.

This kind of miss is called lovesickness.
