The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 269
As soon as Xu Xiangfeng moved, the courtiers rushed to leave in twos and threes.

Wang Weitao walked beside Liu Qin and asked him, "How is Mr. Xu?"

"Teacher is doing well these days."

Liu Qin responded, with a rather helpless tone, "It's just that I'm getting old, and I can't get rid of the problem of worrying. I can't worry about government affairs, and I always like to say things that push me into the fire pit..."

"It's a headache to hear it."

Liu Qin spoke sadly, but Wang Weitao laughed, "Mr. Xu has always had this temper."

Seeing Wang Weitao laughing, Liu Qin couldn't laugh, "Brother, why are you bothering? The Wen family is exhausted, and the Xu family is in full swing. As long as the world is safe, why not sit on the dragon chair with someone else?"

Wang Weitao took a deep look at him, stepped out of the palace gate, looked at the scattered houses in the distance hidden in the morning mist, and asked him, "There are countless people in the world who want to sit on this chair, and they are usually suppressed silently." Sound, once someone takes the lead and succeeds—will the world really be safe?"

"That person has endured for many years, and there must be a countermeasure to make a move at this time, in order to justify his name."

Liu Qin followed Wang Weitao, half a step behind him, "Years of painstaking efforts have given him a very high reputation in the court and the opposition. If the royal family has no successor..."

Having said that, Liu Qin suddenly stopped talking.

"If the royal family has no successors, and the emperor is so anxious that he can't afford it, when the emperor passes away, he should be the new emperor."

Wang Weitao took up his words and completed the words, "He has prestige, status, and power. He is only short of an opportunity to become king. Now, the opportunity is in front of him. Just get rid of those who stand in the way, Everything is in order.”

Liu Qin was silent, and suddenly realized that he couldn't persuade Wang Weitao.

He understood everything, everything, but he still chose a dead end.

"Brother, is it worth it?"

Liu Qin still wants to know the answer, "Isn't it really worthwhile to be a foolish and loyal person when you are involved in disputes over the throne and don't care about the life and death of your family?"

"Before asking whether something is worth it, you should first ask whether it is worth it."

Wang Weitao turned his head and looked at Liu Qin solemnly, "An official should be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, diligent in government and love the people, honest and thrifty, and save himself; We should not disregard the general ethics and treat the laws and punishments as nothing in order to avoid disasters and seek survival."

"He may be able to suppress those ambitious people for a while, but he cannot suppress them forever."

Liu Qin seemed to know something, but felt unknown.

"The law is the restraint of human sin outside of morality. Only with these rules and regulations can the uncontrollable evil thoughts of the people be restrained, and only then can the majority of the people be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

Wang Weitao made his words more clear, "If the people at the top of a country don't abide by the law, and the people below follow suit and don't take the law seriously, the law will become empty words and become A stepping-stone to great power, and a yoke to the weak and the poor."

"The collapse of the law and the collapse of morality can be done with only one small thing, but if you want to repair and recast it, it is more difficult than reaching the sky."

Liu Qin already understood what he said, but suddenly became dazed, "In the overall situation, you and I are like mayflies, why shake the big tree?"

"Although the mayfly is small, it is still powerful. Although it cannot shake the big tree, it is enough to disturb the branches and leaves."

Wang Weitao said with a smile, "The situation on the chessboard is changing, and some minor changes may make the ending of the whole game completely different. What's more, although he is a big tree, I am not a mayfly, and that one is not only good at A soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone."

"Just wait and see, it's still unknown what the ending will be!"

After the morning court the next day, the queen summoned Xu Xiangfeng.

"Father, what happened to Nian'er? What do you mean by missing, life and death?"

After retreating from the crowd, the queen asked Xu Xiangfeng anxiously, "Didn't you say that you would send someone to follow him to protect him? How could something happen to him?"

"Is the queen questioning the old man? Even you think that the old man instigated the assassination of King Duan? Is the old man so unbearable in your heart? That is also the old man's grandson!"

Xu Xiangfeng's sullen questioning made the queen startled, and it took her a while to wake up and wipe the tears from her face.

"Father, of course I know."

The queen tried her best to suppress the choked throat, "You won't hurt Nian'er. It's just that Nian'er has been my only support for so many years. If something happens to him, I, I..."

"Father knows, father knows."

Xu Xiangfeng patted the weeping queen and softened his voice, "Chu'er, you don't like the emperor, and you have suffered a lot in this palace. If you are really tired, come back."

The queen froze and looked at Xu Xiangfeng in a daze.

"For all these years, I owe you my father."

Xu Xiangfeng's voice softened, his old eyes lost all light, and there was only a father's love for his daughter, "If you want to come back, father will definitely protect you even if you don't want this old bone." .”

The pampering in her father's eyes is the same as when she was not out of the cabinet. It makes people feel that no matter what willful request she makes, she will be satisfied.

She should have felt warm and at ease, but now hearing these words, she only felt chills in her limbs.

Like a frightened person wanting reassurance, she clutched Xu Xiangfeng's sleeve, wanting to assure him, "Father, Nian'er will come back, right?"

Xu Xiangfeng was silent and didn't respond to her, the pain in his eyes was mixed with complicated emotions, and he spoke after a while, "Chu'er, King Duan slipped and fell into the river when he was inspecting the unfinished dam for the sake of the safety of the people. Middle. The Xiangzhang River was rushing, and although the accompanying people went into the water immediately to rescue them, they were also engulfed by the river and disappeared.”

"Water and fire are ruthless."

After difficultly telling the queen the cruel truth, Xu Xiangfeng turned his eyes away, avoiding her burning gaze, "As a father, I really can't give you an exact guarantee."

Unexpectedly, the queen didn't grab him to ask where the people he sent to protect Wen Zhehan went, and didn't even ask him to send more people to find Wen Zhehan's whereabouts, but just let go of it like a doll who lost his soul the corner of his clothes.

Xu Xiangfeng closed his eyelids slightly, suppressed a doubtful look, and persuaded softly, "Don't be too sad, Duan Wangji has his own destiny, and no news is the best news now. My father has sent more people to go Southern Xinjiang is looking for the whereabouts of King Duan."

Hearing this, the absent-minded queen suddenly raised her eyes and looked over.

Xu Xiangfeng waited for a while, seeing that she still didn't speak, he murmured for a while, and finally persuaded: "You are still young, and you will have children."
