The woman who illuminated his life once again gave him direction.
Xuan Xian looked at Bai Guo and saw that Bai Guo repeated her words without the shameful look at the beginning, "The road is endless...?"
His eyes were vicious, and the woman who kept to herself in the harem was still like this even when she was surrounded by wealth and power.
"The road is endless, but I am already lost in the predicament."
The words are familiar.
Bai Guo remembers what she said to the emperor the last time he suspected that she was still thinking about Yan Ren - don't leave yourself with regrets, don't be bound by your own body, don't be unable to get out of trouble.
But now, the emperor has left himself with regrets, being restrained by his own body, and struggling in the predicament.
Bai Guo still remembered her seriousness and lack of understanding of worldly affairs when she said these words, so these words now seem a little ridiculous when she thinks about it.
"Life is so long and we have to experience so much, so it's natural to get lost." Bai Guo said something completely different from before, "Getting lost is another way."
If people can be awake forever, then why do they have seven emotions and six desires?
Bai Guo knew that he would not become such a 'sober' person when he saw the vicious dog. When he saw that Twelve still did not escape after years of hard work, Bai Guo understood that some things cannot be changed. These things are more powerful than nature. Make it difficult to violate.
With seven emotions and six desires, life is both long and short.
Experiencing these in this life is a kind of path.
It is a kind of life.
Not a human being.
"But my path is the same as that of the Kingdom of Zhou."
Xuanxian's voice and the words in it attracted everyone's attention.
The Crown Princess, who frequently signaled to each other to interrupt the conversation but was afraid of offending, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I get lost, I will not be able to lead the way. The Kingdom of Zhou needs a new monarch."
Xuan Xian's words were so straightforward that the people present were shocked and couldn't help but feel joyful.
Every word in these words reveals the purpose of summoning them this time!
Bai Guo looked at Xuan Xian like these people and listened to him say: "I'm calling you here this time to let you choose this person."
The Buddhist skewers that the Queen Mother was holding suddenly broke and scattered all over the hall, leaving a loud banging sound throughout the hall.
King An and King Jing looked at Xuanxian in disbelief.
What is this nonsense?
What is this nonsense? !
They heard something wrong!
The fourteenth prince, who was extremely sleepy, woke up from his sleep, and his eyes fell on Ging Guo, full of horror.
'Click'!
The sound of the wooden chair breaking was accompanied by the tapping of Buddhist beads, which was deafening to the ears.
At this moment, King Dingxi felt that the distance between them was more than just a few chairs.
The person in the game is the person in the game after all, and thinking that he is out of the game is just an illusion.
All his years of hard work were completely shattered at this moment.
She, Princess Kangle, was called by name. Her Princess Kangle's strength far exceeded them. Her abilities, Princess Kangle, were still increasing. She, Princess Kangle, could be the one to assist the new emperor.
He always thought that she was in the game, but he couldn't see clearly that she had already jumped to the outside, sitting on a high branch to watch their disputes over their methods.
King Dingxi could not describe his state of mind at this time.
His mother and concubine longed for him to sit on it day and night, his brothers fought to the death for this position, and the courtiers were in chaos for this position.
Everyone is waiting, everyone is calculating, everyone is planning who should be in that position.
But who would have thought, who would dare to think that the person in this position is not the emperor? !
The next monarch will be decided by the daughter of an ordinary courtier with a different surname, no bloodline, and no prosperous background? !
How...
absurd!
absurd!
Prince Gong's eyes widened, and at this moment, no trace of his pretense remained for more than twenty years.
Didn't his father want Princess Kangle to sit in this position? !
Didn't his father want Princess Kangle to be the king? !
Then what he saw before...
Did he see it wrong? !
Can……
Prince Gong's calculations over the past twenty years made countless minds in disarray at this moment.
If she is not a king, how can he, the eldest son, sit in that position!
Why did everyone in the world recommend him to that position?
A woman's body... Only a woman's body can unify the positions of all the officials in the court. At this time, his status as the eldest son is the biggest beneficiary!
The hall was full of noise and quiet, like a no-man's land. Bai Guo's eyes were a little surprised, "I choose?"
"Hasn't the Emperor already chosen?"
The Queen Mother's words were soft and gentle, but they came out together with Ging Guo's words.
Xuanxian looked at the Queen Mother.
For so many years, the Queen Mother has been sitting in this position, enjoying everything that belongs to this position, but she rarely has anything to do or does things she doesn't like, but it is not nothing.
He didn't like everything from the initial search for Ginkgo to later approaching and educating the Thirteenth Prince, but even so, he still respected him.
The Queen Mother looked at Xuan Xian and her heart tightened. Without the beads in her hand, it was like she had lost her disguise, "Your Majesty, this is..."
"I don't even know who the Queen Mother I have chosen, but I do know better?"
The Queen Mother felt chills welling up in her body, and almost instinctively shook her head in denial, "Ai Jia was just talking casually. Ai Jia said the wrong thing!"
The Fourteenth Prince looked at the three of them.
So what is the reason why Princess Kangle can choose the next monarch but cannot tolerate the Queen Mother's words? !
At this time, Ging Guo's voice was particularly attractive.
"Although the Emperor did not choose, he already had the answer in his heart." Bai Guo did not look at any of the princes when he said this, "What does the Emperor want from Bai Guo?"
Xuan Xian focused on these words, and the Queen Mother who was being stared at clearly felt a lightness on her body.
Battle-hardened people are always different from ordinary people, even if this person has been away from the battlefield for more than ten years.
"You all said that I have chosen, but the person I chose is long gone." Xuan Xian said this very clearly in front of everyone, "You choose."
Ging Guo wasn't talking about anything.
The son I was interested in no longer exists, and the others are all mediocre, so how should I choose?
If the person in this position is not the best, then what's the point of your choice.
Bai Guo didn't understand this state of mind before, but when Pang Yang firmly chose her to go through all the troubles in her life for this, Bai Guo felt the same for the current emperor. In the same way, she took over this job, just like the 'women as officials' before.
Bai Guo looked at the princes below, taking in all the expressions. Then he ignored the gazes of the queen and the crown princess and said: "Today... I would like to ask your highnesses a few questions on behalf of the emperor. Your highnesses will answer at will or not." Any answer is acceptable.”
Prince Gong could not calm down the shock in his heart until now. At this time, he clenched the armrest again at Bai Guo's words.
What should he do now? !
"Supervisor Bai, feel free to ask." Xuan Yuansi was the first to respond, which was particularly unusual in a hostile environment.
Bai Guo nodded slightly and asked the first question, "Your Highnesses, what do you think war is?"
Xuan Yuansi, who was the first to answer just now, became quiet after these words and looked at Ging Guo with a puzzled expression.
What is the problem.
The hall fell silent, and Xuan Xian looked down at everyone, as if waiting for an answer.
Prince Jing wanted Prince Gong to speak first, but for some reason, Prince Gong, who had been unusual just now, was as silent as usual.
King Jing waited for others to speak first, but he didn't know whether these people could keep their composure or whether they were just stupid as hell. After a while, no one spoke.
King Jing waited for another two seconds and still no one spoke, so he pretended to be calm and said, "War is a waste of money and people."
After saying that, King Jing looked around seemingly casually, but in fact he was looking above just at the person in the field.
Prince Gong's voice followed closely. He no longer spoke as little as before and no longer spoke first to attract attention as before, "During war, the world is in turmoil, the people have no fixed place to live, and the blood of the soldiers is spilled..."
"What is war?" King Dingxi's voice interrupted Prince Gong's scholarly one-sided vocabulary with a sneer, and asked Bai Guo in a accustomed tone, "Hundred acres of good land are uncultivated, and corpses are buried in the wilderness in the snow. Do you want to Do you think this is war? But the wars experienced by hundreds and thousands of people are different. Hundreds and thousands of people have hundreds of answers in their hearts. The last time I asked this question was when I first joined the army. The soldier answered me that war means The country still has the strength to fight, and the country still has the determination to fight. War is the unity of a country, the unity of the people, and the unity of the whole country."
"I refuted him at that time." The mockery on King Dingxi's face deepened. "I think war is for the weak. Whether it is the one who started the war or was forced into it, war is only needed to prove that the country is not strong. You need to plunder what you want. The country is not strong, so it is targeted to start a war, so it is forced into a war. Only the weak will experience war."
"Because wherever the war goes, there is endless blood shed, endless corpses buried, fear, inability to sleep, and the ordinary life of not being able to see one's comrades for a second time. It is impossible to survive, and it is the wife and children at home. My parents have no one to rely on, so their cries surround the city wall and paper money comforts the dead souls.”
Bai Guo was surprised. She was surprised that the prince who almost grew up on the battlefield would say such a thing.
Xuanxian was also surprised, but his eyes never caught his attention.
The amazing moment was also because the previous expectations for them were reduced to the lowest, and they were incomparable to the truly amazing and talented person.
But it was obvious that King Dingxi did not want to attract anyone's attention, but that this topic made King Dingxi unhappy.
"Now Princess Kangle tells me what war is. What do you want to say?"
King Dingxi had put away all hostility toward Ging Guo before, but at this moment, he was completely antagonistic toward Ging Guo.
Bai Guo revealed and made clear his bottom line a long time ago, but no one dared to test his bottom line and no one wanted to test his bottom line, so many people were not very clear about him.
But at this moment, Xuan Yuansi and the Fourteenth Prince felt that they finally understood many things.
King Dingxi... the bottom line and persistence are only Cheng Zhou.
He wanted Chengzhou to be peaceful forever, but at this point, he complied with everyone's bottom line.
Therefore, he can do whatever he wants with many things, and even has no good looks towards ministers, etc., because he has never thought about this position, and he has nothing to ask for, so he has nothing to fear.
Bai Guo shook his head lightly, "What I said today are all questions. I don't ask for answers to my questions, and I don't have any answers to my questions."
King Dingxi's face darkened at Bai Guo's words.
