768 Chapter 768 Pei Yuanhao's Put the cart before the horse

Although I had thought of this possibility in my heart, when I heard about it, my heart still skipped a beat and looked at Wei Ningyuan with shock.?

The Han family has a daughter who will be the mother of the world?!

Mother is in the world!

I suddenly thought of the dignified and virtuous person in the imperial city who once gave me countless warmth and protection. He was one of the few people I could trust in that cold imperial city - Chang Qing. Could it be that one day, her position would be replaced by others?

When I thought of this, my brows frowned.

Not only because, if that happens, the world will be destined to have a drastic change, but I thought that a person like Chang Qing is the model of the mother's etiquette in the world. If someone really wants to take her position - not to mention whether she is willing or not, no matter what, she will definitely be hurt!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but frown.

At this time, Wei Ningyuan said: "Of course, these words are just some circulating among the people, and it may be deliberately fabricated by some people in order to flatter King Jiangxia."

I felt uncomfortable and sneered: "It's too timely."

"Just--" Wei Ningyuan changed the subject: "If they really take it seriously..."

I raised an eyebrow.

If they really take it seriously-

No wonder Han Ruoshi was so devoted to following Pei Yuanxiu, and Han Zitong even killed me when she met for the first time. What involved this was not just a woman's love.

I smiled faintly.

In my life, I have always hoped to be kind to others, at least not to make enemies, but no matter what, there will always be people who cannot tolerate me, but in the end, what did I do that made people shout at me and yell at me?

Wei Ningyuan looked at my smile and said softly: "Madam Qingying, when the prince tried a small sword in Dongzhou, it was a 400,000 army that was overwhelmed by the corpses and mournfulness. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine that. And he fought for you."

I raised my head.

There was only a short piece of candlestick on the table, and the candlelight was fluttering, almost extinguishing. The clearly extinguished fire illuminated my equally dim and unclear eyes, "So you want to say that if there is war in Jiangnan, it will be unrelated to me?"

"Don't dare."

Wei Ningyuan hurriedly said, "I just feel that someone has opened the blade of the prince's sword. If the knife cannot see blood, then it must-"

"Haha," I couldn't help but smile and said calmly: "Young Master Ningyuan, you really value me in this."

"Mrs. Qingying..."

I got up and walked aside, opened the cabinet and took out a candle from it. At this time, the candlelight became weaker and the whole room was almost in a dim light. I slowly walked back to the table and said word by word: "I will tell Mr. Ningyuan a word."

"Please say it."

"It is easy to fight for one person; but it is not necessarily possible to stop a fight for one person."

Wei Ningyuan looked at me in shock.

I had already bent down and lit the new candle. The candlelight flapped and the surroundings gradually became brighter. Under such bright firelight, I looked at Wei Ningyuan with a clear and calm look and said, "Young Master Ningyuan, I am not ruling this sentence. If you think about it carefully, you will understand."

Wei Ningyuan didn't say anything, just sat there, thinking deeply.

Although it sounds a bit cruel, it is the truth. From ancient times to the present, I have indeed heard many stories about the beauty who are angry with each other, but these stories are just written by storytellers to deceive the people. If the war is just for a beauty, the lives of thousands of lives, thousands of silver, and thousands of land that have been taken away, how can a beauty earn back?

After all, the essence of war is interests, what is unfair is interests, what is fighting for is interests, and only interests can be provided for war.

Take the battle in Dongzhou as a battle for me, but was it because the 400,000 army was in a hurry to grab a Yue Qingying who could not eat, drink, or even cut a piece of pound and could not sell a few taels of silver?

Everyone behind the war is not a fool.

After a while, Wei Ningyuan looked up at me, but said nothing, but just heard him sigh.

I smiled faintly.

Actually, I know that he may not really agree with my statement, but my words are not at all reasonable. So I said softly: "Young Master Ningyuan, whether you agree with my words or think I am shirking responsibility, but now I really don't want to participate in these things anymore. In the past, I really managed enough, and enough. Now, I just want to live a good life with my daughter, spend more time on her, and the people I really love and care about, such as--"

"…Huh?" He looked up at me.

"For example, Yuer."

"Yumei?"

I smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Ningyuan and Yu'er have been together for so long, you-"

When he heard this, he immediately changed his face and waved his hand quickly and said, "Madam, don't get it wrong."

"Um?"

"Yumei is indeed a good girl, smart and kind. She likes her very much, but it's not that kind of relationship."

"oh?"

"After she saved me, she took me in at home and helped me treat my injuries. She had the kindness of saving my life and regenerating my virtue. But we are alone and widowed, so we are afraid that she will be gossiped about and ruin our reputation. So we became sworn brothers and sisters with her. Moreover, I sincerely regard her as my sister, and hope that she can find a good husband as soon as possible."

I felt a little embarrassed when I heard him say this: "Sorry, it seems that I'm thinking too much."

He waved his hand and said, "Mrs. I am worried about Yumei, and she is the same as her mood. But she still has great achievements in her heart. She doesn't care about talking about her children's relationships, nor does she have to find a home for this sister. She has followed me around these days, and it's really my brother who has dragged her down."

I smiled and said, "There is a person like Young Master Ningyuan in the court. Although it is not the only blessing for Yuer, it is a blessing for millions of people."

"Mrs. Qingying said this, it's a ridiculous praise." He sighed and said, "I have been an official for many years and have not made a single achievement, but now it is even more-"

Looking at his depressed expression, I sighed softly in my heart.

It seems that I have been thinking too much between him and Yu'er. But seeing his current situation, I still think about the court wholeheartedly. I couldn't help but think of his mentor Liu Yi. With his sword in hand, he ended up with such a miserable result, but he died for Jiangnan.

It was a bit bitter.

After a while of silence, I reluctantly changed into a smile, as if I wanted to comfort him, and said with a smile: "Actually, Young Master Ningyuan doesn't have to be so worried. Although the matter in Jiangnan is dangerous, the court is not vulnerable. Moreover, in my opinion, the emperor's new policy is a good thing for the country and the people, maybe-"

Before I could finish my words, I saw that the folds between Wei Ningyuan's eyebrows became deeper.

I said in confusion: "Young Master Ning Yuan, what's wrong?"

He said: "Mrs. Qingying also knows the emperor's new policy?"

"Well, I knew a few days ago. Young Master Ningyuan may not know that the new policy implemented the stake in the acres was when he was still in this room. Liu——" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but choke up and swallowed the name: "He imagined it."

"Oh?" Wei Ningyuan was a little surprised: "It's him?"

"Yes, so the emperor must have made up his mind this new policy. In addition, the Shen family has collapsed, and the biggest obstacle to the court has been removed. As long as the new policy can be implemented to the end-"

When I said it, I saw his eyebrows frowning again.

What's going on?

Is there something wrong?

Thinking of this, I asked softly: "Young Master Ningyuan, do you have any opinions on the new policy?"

"No, of course not," he said hurriedly: "To be honest, I really admire the new policy implemented by the emperor this time. The emperor can innovate, be enterprising, eliminate the disadvantages, and implement this policy that benefits the country and the people, which is really a blessing for all people in the world. If I still have a view on such a new policy, it is a problem."

"But I see that Mr. Ning Yuan is full of worry about the implementation of this new policy. What's the problem?"

Wei Ningyuan looked up at me, and inadvertently, there was another haze between his eyebrows.

I said, "Young Master Ningyuan, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

He was silent for a long time, his eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and he finally said slowly: "I just vaguely feel that the time for implementing the new policy is wrong."

"Why isn't it right?"

"Madam, let's give you an inappropriate example. If there is a person who has treasures in his home that attracts many thieves to spy on him, but he is suffering from an emergency, what should he do?"

I thought about it and said, "Of course, we should cure the disease first, and then find a way to deal with those thieves."

"No," Wei Ningyuan nodded and said, "But if the thief has already walked to the door, should he cure his illness first?"

"Of course not," I said with a smile: "This matter must be prioritized, of course he-"

Speaking of this, I was speechless all of a sudden.

He raised his head and looked at Wei Ningyuan, his expression seemed a little more solemn under the swaying candlelight.

"In the following view, the current situation of the emperor - or the Celestial Empire, is full of serious illnesses, just like a person suffering from serious illness, but there are grassland soldiers eyeing each other in the north, and the prince splitting the country in Jiangnan. Just as the thief has arrived at the door, it is really putting the cart before the horse at this time."

I couldn't help but be shocked.

I don't know much about Wei Ningyuan, but I also know that this person is cautious in his behavior and his words and deeds are extraordinary. Otherwise, Pei Yuanhao would not have chosen him to guard Jiangnan after Huang Tianba. But now, he has made an evaluation of the emperor like "putting the cart before the horse", which shows how deep his worries are.

Could it be that it is Pei Yuanhao’s problem?
