"What if I don't want to go to Zhongzhou?" Fang Chuning drank wine with a calm tone, as if he was talking to Xie Jue about an insignificant matter, not his future future.

"Zhongzhou can not only control the Ningzhou cavalry, but also intimidate the twelve states. It will be the most important military zone in Beining in the future. I can only leave it to you. I don't trust others." Xie Jue said, "Although I have not talked to Zhixu , but there is a high probability that he will decide to send you to garrison. Even if he wants me to go to Zhongzhou, the courtiers will not agree."

"What about you?" Fang Chuning asked, "Have you always been in Kyoto?"

"Aning, talking about your affairs is just about talking about you." Xie Jue said, "If you don't consider me, I will be an outsider. Think about it, is it better for you to be stationed in Jiangnan or to go to Zhongzhou?"

"But how can I not consider you?" Fang Chuning thought cryptically, I will definitely have you in my future life, so how can I not consider you?

"I am a prince, and I can't go anywhere except Kyoto." Xie Jue said, "Unless a prince is established and the government is stable, I cannot command the army. It is best to be an idle prince or a civil servant. If I know that Xu Li If you are the prince, then I have to avoid suspicion even more."

"Why did the emperor want to make Ruyi the crown prince?" Fang Chuning frowned, "Ruyi is still young. He is still young and strong. He will not worry about heirs in the future. Ruyi...is the queen really infertile as the rumors say?"

"The heir is in trouble." Xie Jue did not hide it from Fang Chuning, and the shadow guard was outside and was not afraid of being overheard by others. "He does not intend to fill the harem. If the heir is in trouble, he can only make Ruyi the crown prince. So, I hope you go. In Zhongzhou, the Northern Barbarians were settled in the Twelve States, and it might take more than ten or twenty years for the chaos to subside. If someone else were in Zhongzhou, it would have nothing to do with me, and Ayu's hard work in the Twelve States would have been in vain. I hope that the next generation can When he ascended the throne, Zhongzhou, Ningzhou and the Twelve States were already in peace, and only you can do it."

"You overestimate me." Fang Chuning couldn't tell whether he was happy or bitter. If he went to Zhongzhou, he would be separated from Xie Jue for a long time. "My wish was that the Northern Barbarians would surrender. If I Death in battle is considered a well-deserved death. Now that the Northern Barbarians have surrendered, his wish has come true. The Emperor wants to regain Sangnan, and I am willing to do my best. If Sangnan also surrenders, then I will be a successful warrior and retire. If I am lucky, No illness or injury, I want to travel around the world and live a happy life. You know, this has always been my long-cherished wish. When the Haiyan River is clear, I will travel around the world with you. I don’t want to be trapped in Zhongzhou.”

"Yes, I also hope that the Haiyan River can swim around the world when it is clear, but now that the master of the world is Zhixu, how can I be alone." Xie Jue lowered his eyes slightly, his fair face half-dark under the dim oil lamp, "If you really don't want to, I won't force you."

"If I don't go, you will have to ask for an order to go to Zhongzhou. You know that the courtiers will not agree. You will continue to be criticized by the civil officials. After your actions in Zhongzhou, you will be impeached by the officials. The emperor and you have a deep brotherhood. , I won’t doubt you, but in ten or twenty years, what if he has been on the throne for a long time and has more power? Who can guarantee that he can trust you for the rest of his life? "

"Besides you and me, I have no better candidate." Xie Jue raised his eyes and looked into Fang Chuning's eyes, "So, I would rather offend the commander-in-chief than send you to Zhongzhou."

"It's not him you offend, it's our entire Fang family. Our foundation in Jiangnan for many years will be weakened and will no longer exist." Fang Chuning said, "Tingfeng, you have to protect the emperor's country, and I... also... We have to bear the burden of the family. We are born into aristocratic families. These are responsibilities that cannot be shied away from. No matter how much I cherish a person or love a person, I will never give up on the family. When you betrayed Kyoto, if I had Without the family, I would have followed you long ago."

The feelings of the children of their clan will always be ranked second to the glory of the family. This is the influence and education they have received since childhood, and everything is focused on the family.

Xie Jue couldn't give up everything for him. He couldn't ask Fang Chuning to give up his family for him. It was the glory that he relied on for survival and protected him from growing up. How could he give it up so easily.

"I know." Xie Jue's voice was very soft. "I have a hunch that if there are changes in the future, the commander will only blame me."

"Everything you can think of, the Emperor can also think of. In fact, you have already had a premonition. If one of you and I are destined to go to Zhongzhou, the Emperor will definitely give me an order to protect you. If I don't respect it, I will resist. Purpose. He is the king of a country first, and then your brother. Just like this time when I ordered you to go as envoy Sang Nan, I did not consider your wishes. "

Xie Jue was silent for a long time, almost agreeing with Fang Chuning's words.     “I will think of a way to get the best of both worlds.”

"There is no way to get the best of both worlds in this world. It's just self-deception." Fang Chuning smiled bitterly, "No matter how smart you are, some things are bound to not change."

Back then, he tried so hard to change the outcome of the Hou Mansion, but in the end he couldn't do anything and could only watch the Hou Mansion's destruction.

Now even if he is a prince, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, he cannot abandon everything and leave as he pleases.

Xie Jue lowered his eyes and frowned. He was already seasick and a little uncomfortable, and his face was as white as snow. Fang Chuning felt very distressed when he saw this. He couldn't help but turned sideways and touched Xie Jue's brows with his fingers, as if he wanted to soothe him. The worry on his eyebrows, "Ting Feng, are you happy to be a prince who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people?"

"Is it important?"

"It's very important to me!" Fang Chuning felt sour in her heart. Xie Jue's brows were warm, much softer than what he felt to others. He wanted to take good care of him, "Xie Jue ascends the throne, you can be crowned queen." , I have never seen you smile."

"I don't like to laugh by nature."

"But when you were in Ningzhou, you were obviously very happy and relaxed. When we talked about traveling around the world, I will always remember your smile. But in Kyoto, you never smiled."

"When you are young, you are carefree, but when you grow up, you are full of sorrows. You and I are the same." Xie Jue couldn't help joking, "Maybe Kyoto is an ominous place."

Yes, for Xie Jue, it is his hometown and an ominous place. He could not be happy when he was in Kyoto. The current palace is Zhenbei Houfu. When he returns home in the middle of the night, he always dreams of his family.

How could Xie Xun be happy in that palace? He will also always think of the person on the dragon throne, who forced his family to death and left his family in ruins.

then what should we do?

If they don't enter this imperial city and ascend to the throne of God, where will their brothers be?
  "This is fate. I can only accept it calmly. I can't escape it, and the same goes for you." Xie Jue said, "If there is no way to achieve both ends in the world, you and I..."

"Tingfeng, you just think too much." Fang Chuning's fingertips still retained the warmth on his skin, "Extreme wisdom must be injured, I feel distressed when I see it, let's just let nature take its course, okay?" (End of Chapter)
