Looking at the emperor in front of him who was fishing for goldfish in the lotus pond with a bored face, Mu Xiaojiuqiang resisted the urge to hold his forehead - how idle is this majesty? Don't you have to deal with the government affairs of the Nima court? Is the battle on the border battlefield all arranged? Can you not do fishing here?

Of course, no matter what, Mu Xiaojiu has always been a straightforward person who has one thing to say, two to say, and two to say. So the next moment, after looking at the only two guards next to him who were pretending to be wooden, Mu Xiaojiu spit out a groove fiercely, "Didn't I say, Your Majesty, you raised this pond of fish just to catch it?" And your fishing rod is tied from a tree branch, isn't it so shoddy? After all, he is a dignified emperor, can he be more serious and responsible for himself? Even if you're fishing, be serious! ”

That's right, what Mu Xiaojiu really wants to complain about is not not not dealing with government affairs and the like. After all, in his opinion, the emperor is also a human being, and he also needs to relax, so he can't turn twelve hours in a row, right? Isn't it nice to relax and rest while fishing? However, since they have all chosen to fish, they should be serious, right? The Ninety-Five Supreme Son of Heaven is holding a fishing rod made of crooked broken branches, sitting as if he has no bones, and holding his head with one hand, feeling like a child in front of his mother...... Shape?

Mu Xiaojiu's brain crashed instantly.

Indeed, on this side of the lotus pond, apart from him and the little emperor, there were only two wooden man guards with serious faces. But what about on the other side of the lotus pond?

Mu Xiaojiu raised his head and looked at the pavilion opposite the lotus pond. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting the curtain of the pavilion, revealing a figure.

He has a good relationship with the little emperor, so it doesn't matter even if he complains in person. But this does not mean that he can also complain about the little emperor in front of the Queen Mother, that is, the Queen Mother's own son.

Mu Xiaojiu suddenly shuddered, he wanted to make amends, but unfortunately it was already too late.

The little emperor heard Mu Xiaojiu's complaint, turned around and bared his teeth at Mu Xiaojiu, and his smile was full of an emotion called "You're finished". And at this critical juncture, the Queen Mother opened her mouth: "This must be Mu Qing's family, as the emperor said, I don't know the etiquette and there are no rules."

The Queen Mother's voice was very flat, but Mu Xiaojiu clearly heard the meaning of beating from it. Forget it, bear with it, who told yourself to say the wrong thing. Anyway, this is the little emperor's mother, and he has to call him an aunt when it comes to seniority...... Why does this generation always feel a bit out of place? Do you call the Queen Mother an aunt?

However, I didn't expect this little emperor to say this about himself. Bastard, settle the account another day, Lao Tzu will kill you. I don't believe you're a game character who complains more than me.

The little emperor resisted not letting himself laugh out loud, and responded calmly: "That's right, Queen Mother, this is Mu Xiaojiu Muqing's family, as a player, he doesn't pay much attention to these rituals, and he has never been like those ministers...... No, it's a thorough courtesy. ”

The Queen Mother naturally knew what kind of person the little emperor was and what kind of character she had, so the little emperor's words did not cause the Queen Mother to reprimand. First, now that he is in the deep palace, none of these people around him wear the same pants as the minister, and no one dares to chew his tongue; Second, the little emperor is the lord of the Central Plains after all, and it doesn't matter if he scolds the two ministers; Three, it is estimated that the little emperor has said a lot of things like this on weekdays, and the queen mother has become accustomed to it.

Mu Xiaojiu saluted in the direction of the pavilion, because there was an imperial decree that the little emperor had given him, he didn't even need to kneel to see the little emperor, so he didn't kneel down at this time, but just bowed, "Minister, Mu Xiaojiu, I have seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an." ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly, "Mu Qing's family, get up, although you are a bit rude as a minister, but you are not only a player, but you have made a lot of contributions to the emperor, I will not pursue this matter." ”

At this moment, the little emperor suddenly exclaimed, and lifted the broken fishing rod in his hand with a strong lift, Mu Xiaojiu looked at it fixedly, and found that there seemed to be a fish hanging on the hook.

"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! You see! Erchen is fishing! ”

Mu Xiaojiu rolled his eyes, yes, yes, yes, you are amazing, you are a cow, you have hung yourself.

The Queen Mother coughed lightly, "Luan'er, as the Son of Heaven, what kind of body do you have to shout like this?" What about catching a fish? It's just a plaything. ”

The little emperor took the fish off the fishing rod stupidly, then put the broken fishing rod aside, took the handkerchief handed over by the guard, wiped his hands, and muttered unhappily: "I said that I have a good relationship with Xiao Jiu, and the queen mother is still so serious, really, can't you praise me in front of outsiders?" ”

The Queen Mother may not have heard these words, but Mu Xiaojiu heard them clearly. I have to admit that he is indeed a little moved in his heart now.

At this time, the Queen Mother also came over accompanied by the maid. I saw that the Queen Mother picked up the fishing rod and walked in front of Mu Xiaojiu and the little emperor Yingluan, and her lips opened lightly: "Mu Qing's family, I heard you say before, this is a broken fishing rod." ”

Mu Xiaojiu was stunned, could this still be a fishing rod with a story?

"This fishing rod is a little broken, and it is not very good. However, it was made by the emperor himself for Luan'er. Luan'er, do you remember what your father said to you when he gave you this fishing rod? ”

Well, that's really a fishing rod with a story......

Hearing the words "the first emperor" and "father emperor", Yingluan obviously felt a little sad, "Those words, Erchen naturally remembered." My father said at the time that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, which is a wise saying, and many things can be used. For example, talent is like a fish in water, you want to eat it, but it doesn't start a fire on its own, jump into the pot, and stew itself for you. So you have to fish slowly and be patient, otherwise the fish will not be hooked. ”

Mu Xiaojiu, who was listening on the side, nodded lightly, this analogy still has some truth. The little emperor now has a pond called "Imperial Court", and the ministers in it are fish, although these ministers work for the emperor, but they will not take the initiative to jump into the pot of the little emperor, because they are not dedicated to the world and the little emperor.

And the meaning of the first emperor is to slowly adjust these ministers, so that they become the little emperor and the courtiers of the world, rather than their own courtiers - the difference is that the former represents their public heart is greater than their selfishness, and the latter represents their selfishness greater than their public heart.

"That's right, it seems that Luan'er, you haven't forgotten your father's teachings." As she spoke, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at Mu Xiaojiu, "Mu Qing's family, I want to ask, do you like to stay in the pot or in the pond?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu secretly spat in his heart, you ask who likes to stay in the pot and wait to be stewed and eaten? I know what you mean, but can you change the analogy, my Queen Mother? Is it really interesting to ask that?

These words can't be said in a famous face, so Mu Xiaojiu pondered for a moment before he spoke: "The Empress Dowager should know about the matter of changing blood for the imperial court before." ”

The Queen Mother phoenix head and slight jaw, "Well, isn't that from the handwriting of your Lord Mu?" It's the assassination of the minister, and the establishment of a faction that supports the emperor, I have to say that Mu Qing's family has good means. ”

Mu Xiaojiu lowered his head and smiled, "Queen Mother, if you don't do it with good people, why should I make fish?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor were both eyelids, the difference was that the Queen Mother was angry, the Little Emperor was surprised and delighted, and there was a little worry.

"Lord Mu, don't you hear that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister? After all, there can only be one person on the shore, and what you said is a bit too much. The Queen Mother's words were full of anger, and the two Ouchi guards next to her took a step forward and slowly drew their knives from their sheaths.

Mu Xiaojiu was not afraid at all, "The Queen Mother, even if it is the emperor, you will be lonely, as a mother, do you hope that when Your Majesty needs to be accompanied, he will only have a pot of fish by his side?" The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, which is true. However, I am not in this world, and second, I am not on the shore of this land, I am just a player. I know you want me to be a sharp knife in Your Majesty's hand, but a knife will scratch you. ”

The Queen Mother took another step forward, "Lord Mu's implication, is that you won't hurt Your Majesty?" How do you prove it? Is it just a few words from this empty head? ”

Looking at the two people who were facing each other, the little emperor tried to dissuade him several times, but in the end he didn't speak.

"Proof? Proof of what? Mu Xiaojiu asked rhetorically.

The Queen Mother's pair of majestic Danfeng eyes had been staring at Mu Xiaojiu, so she saw Mu Xiaojiu's expression - frank, sincere, and even a hint of arrogance.

The Queen Mother suddenly laughed, she first waved her hand away from the palace maid and the guards, and then said, "Emperor, do you know what your father said?" ”

The little emperor sighed quietly, and the two people finally stopped fighting each other for tat, "I don't know, please ask the queen mother for advice." ”

"Your father once told me that he was sometimes very unhappy, and often he didn't even have anyone to talk to. I was curious and asked him why he felt the way. He told me, I am a wife, Aoi Gonggong is a subordinate, you are a son, the Empress Dowager is a mother, and the rest of the palace maids, Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and harem concubines, it is needless to say. But there are some things that I don't want to tell my relatives, and I can't tell my subordinates, I just want to find a friend. But as the Ninety-Five, who commands the world, who dares to be friends with him? What's more, even if some people are friends, they have all kinds of thoughts. Luan'er, do you remember King Zhong? ”

The little emperor was stunned at first, and then nodded, "Remember, how can you not remember?" During the reign of his father, because of the hard work and high achievements of the loyal king, his father and emperor overrode public opinion, appointed him as the king with a foreign surname, and invited him into the palace from time to time to drink and chat. But in the year when the Central Plains was in a severe drought and the disaster was severe, he rebelled and even almost succeeded. ”

Mu Xiaojiu's eyelids jumped when he heard it, he really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen before. And this loyal king sounds a bit like himself. Won't it ......

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's next words overturned Mu Xiaojiu's concerns, "Luan'er, do you know? King Zhong and Mu Qing's family are actually very similar, not only did they encounter the same, but even today's incident happened to King Zhong. It's just that the words of King Zhong at that time are not the same as those of the current Mu Qing family. And at that time, it was the Empress Dowager who asked King Zhong, and it was also on that day that the Empress Dowager bluntly said that King Zhong was a person with deep thoughts, hidden edges, and a scheming person, but unfortunately, your father didn't believe it. ”

The little emperor looked curious, obviously not knowing about it...... And then? ”

"There's no after." The Queen Mother showed a hint of sarcasm on her face, but she seemed to be a little sad and reminiscing, "What did happen later, King Zhong rebelled, rebelled, and was imprisoned in the prison." Your father went in and talked with King Zhong for a long time the day before King Chung was torn apart, and when he came out, he got drunk and talked with me for a long time, and then the next day he sent someone to give King Chung a three-foot white silk and gave him a decent way to die. I still remember that the most common thing your father said at that time was that he never thought that King Chung would betray him and rebel. ”

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager gave King Zhong an evaluation, the emperor did not believe the Empress Dowager's evaluation, but chose to believe King Zhong; Now, the words are different, but the circumstances are the same, what evaluation would you give me, Queen Mother? Mu Xiaojiu looked into the eyes of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother shook her head, "I don't have any evaluation, but I think what you say is the truth, at least, you won't betray Luan'er, because you have no interest in this world at all." ”

"Luan'er is right, it's not so much that you are his courtiers and his subordinates, but that you are his friend - a friend who can talk to him and drink with him."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother paused, "The emperors of the past dynasties had no friends, because there are few people in the world who can understand themselves and help themselves, but also have no interest in the world." People who can understand and help themselves often have scheming and means, and there are few such people who have no desire for the world; And those who are not interested in this huge Central Plains are either poor scholars who can only talk on paper, or some reckless men in the martial arts, and there are not many people who have both. ”

"Mu Qing's family, you said that you are a player, but how do you know that no one among the players wants to be the emperor?" Saying that, the Queen Mother's face showed a hint of murderous intent, "There are many players who want to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, so let's wait for Your Majesty to tell you in person for a while." ”

Mu Xiaojiu was shocked, turned his head to look at the little emperor, but found that the little emperor also had a gloomy face, obviously remembering something bad.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaojiu sighed quietly, he should have thought that the world was in chaos, and there would always be someone who would be restless.
