"What? Kuro, you want to imprison your biological mother?"
"I'm not sick! I don't want to be locked up!"
"Kuro! You're back! You're back!"
"The late emperor! The late emperor!"
The emperor and the empress gradually moved away, but there was always a faint voice coming from behind.
Min Huang's face turned dark. His mother really didn't care about me at all.
Does she know what impact her words will have on him? What kind of trouble will it cause?
By some strange coincidence, Min Huang suddenly thought of the "back then" she mentioned twice when he was facing Concubine Xie just now!
Could it be that Concubine Xie's treatment of me is not only because of her confusion and stupidity, but also has something to do with the past?
Min Huang desperately told himself that this matter could not be revealed easily.
Because no one can guarantee whether the truth revealed after the layer of fog is lifted will be acceptable.
What if you are so unbearable to yourself that you will fall into infinite passivity?
After all, Min Huang is still young and does not yet have the domineering and domineering attitude to dominate others.
There was still fear in his heart.
Reason told him: "It's rare to be confused! There are some things where you don't need to know the truth!"
But his emotions always made him fall into pain. There was no way he could do it. A person as big as Mrs. Xie was standing in front of him, and she was always challenging his bottom line——
Sometimes, when he is exhausted from cleaning up his mother's mess, Min Huang can't help but think: How wonderful would it be if my mother wasn't such a confused idiot?
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, go back and sleep early!"
Just when Min Huang was immersed in his own thoughts like a trapped animal, a cold female voice suddenly came to his ears.
Only then did Min Huang realize that when he left Yongshou Palace, he took the queen with him.
After leaving the Yongshou Palace, he also took the queen to wander around the layers of palaces!
Min Huang was shocked: I actually lost control in front of the Queen.
She, she didn't have any doubts.
Min Huang never dared to underestimate his queen's intelligence.
Although he was very sure that no one else would know that he could hear his voice except himself.
However, if his words and deeds are different, the queen will be suspicious even if she cannot guess the truth.
Once suspicion arises, the Queen will investigate, and some things cannot escape the Queen's discerning eyes.
Just when Min Huang was in shock, he suddenly heard another voice from his heart——
[Your Majesty was injured by his mother and concubine! 】
[Sigh, I can understand that the words my mother-in-law just said were indeed too hurtful. In any case, how can a mother say that her son is unfilial? 】
[Although I can understand that the mother-in-law does not want to be grounded, as a parent, you should not only think about yourself, but you should also worry about your children. 】
[Fortunately, the mother-in-law is just a concubine. If she really becomes the queen mother, and she continues to slander His Majesty for being disobedient, His Majesty will really be in trouble. 】
Gu Qingcheng noticed a slight change in Min Huang's eyes. Although he didn't know what this person was thinking about, there was nothing wrong with continuing to play the role of a virtuous, virtuous, informed and good wife.
What Gu Qingcheng has to do now is to flesh out Queen Gu's character - smart and calm, but deep down she has feelings for Min Huang.
She may have to maintain a cold and aloof image for the sake of pride and status, but in her heart, she admires and cherishes her husband.
It has to be said that Gu Qingcheng's voice came very timely. The worry and alertness that had just surged up in Min Huang were instantly dispelled——
"What are I worried about? The queen is indeed smarter and more rational than ordinary women, but women are women after all. Once they are moved, they will become extra soft."
Sometimes, I become stupid. .net
And the person who can make such a change in the queen is none other than Min Huang, this
The emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty had an inner vanity and sense of accomplishment that almost reached its peak.
"Queen!"
Min Huang squeezed Gu Qingcheng's hand tightly. He had too much to say, but when he came into contact with Gu Qingcheng's cold eyes with a hint of concern and doubt, he suddenly stopped.
He could hear Queen Gu's inner thoughts and understand Queen Gu's thoughts, but Queen Gu didn't know.
If he rashly said some emotional words, it would only make Queen Gu confused and suspicious.
"...It is indeed getting late. Queen, please go back to the palace to rest first."
If it hadn't happened "back then", Min Huang would have taken Queen Gu back to her Anyi Palace.
But Min Huang's heart was very confused because of the word "back then". He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would expose his flaws in front of Queen Gu.
Furthermore, he could hear the voices of the people across from him. This magical power had just been opened, and Min Huang was still a little unfamiliar with it.
Sometimes, he would subconsciously mix his thoughts and voices together.
He must adjust well and master this magical power more perfectly.
The harem is turbulent and treacherous, and there are even a group of old foxes in the previous dynasty.
Their acumen is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Min Huang would never dare to show any strangeness in front of these people.
"……yes!"
A flash of disappointment quickly flashed across Gu Qingcheng's eyes.
The look in his eyes was very subtle, and it flashed by extremely quickly.
If Min Huang hadn't paid close attention to her every word and action, he wouldn't have been able to catch it.
"Queen, queen, you are really——"
Even though my heart is moved, I still have to suppress myself for the sake of so-called rules, status, etc.
Min Huang was secretly proud that the unattainable god finally stepped down from his throne and came to his side.
He, Min Huang, turned a noble goddess into a worldly man and resentful woman!
Returning to Anyi Palace, Gu Qingcheng freshened up, changed into pajamas, and went to bed to sleep.
However, after closing the curtain, she was not in a hurry to fall asleep.
She began to review everything that happened tonight in the "Inner Zone 2", repeatedly studying and chewing on the conversation with Min Huang.
There was also the "voice" that she deliberately opened, and she also "played back" it bit by bit.
no problem!
And Min Huang's reaction was also what she expected.
"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, although you can control your mind and deceive Min Huang, it is still a bit difficult to successfully complete the task!"
Huoshui felt Gu Qingcheng's mood swings and couldn't help but speak.
"Being able to hear the thoughts of the person on the other side, how powerful a plug-in is this?"
Huoshui was a ball of hair, jumping excitedly in the depths of Gu Qingcheng's sea of consciousness: "With such magical power, no one can hide from Min Huang."
"He can accurately screen out loyal ministers and female ministers, and he can also detect villains with evil intentions very promptly."
"And those women in the harem can no longer deceive him."
He can tell who is sincere and who is fake as soon as he "listens".
Gu Qingcheng: ...mentally retarded!
"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, let me tell you seriously. How can you curse someone?"
As Huoshui was talking nonstop, he heard the curse coming from Gu Qingcheng's heart.
Gu Qingcheng didn't have any embarrassment when he cursed secretly and was overheard by the rightful owner.
She glanced at Huoshui lightly, "Who said this is a 'supernatural power' or a 'big killer weapon' for Min Huang?"
Huoshui was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it?"
Can you hear people's thoughts? Such an awesome plug-in?
Gu Qingcheng: ...I really don’t want to explain to Huoshui.
However, idleness is also idleness. Besides, sometimes, just chatting with Huoshui for a few words can help you sort things out better.
ideas.
"Have you ever heard of a saying?"
"When it comes to deeds, it doesn't matter the heart. When it comes to the heart, there is no perfect person in the world."
Gu Qingcheng said calmly, "Above the court, people still pay attention to absolute right and wrong, good and evil. How naive is this."
Although Gu Qingcheng is involved in government affairs, she has to say that no one can be dirty to politicians when it comes to their heart!
Even if there are some truly loyal ministers who can serve as human shields for the king and protect them with their lives, their hearts may not be pure.
We are all human, and it is inevitable that we will have selfish motives.
The sages all said, "Don't stick to trivial matters." As long as the righteousness is not compromised, that's fine.
As an emperor, he does not need to know the true inner thoughts of civil and military officials. What he wants is capable ministers who can govern the country and generals who can win battles.
As for what they think in their hearts, that’s not important!
Even if they are not loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but just for promotion and wealth, as long as they can provide sufficient value to the dynasty, they are loyal ministers and good generals!
Disaster:...
"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, you, you are too absolute and too paranoid!"
"Even if there is no truly perfect person in the world, being able to know whether the other person is loyal is still useful!"
"For example, at a critical moment, if the people around the emperor are truly loyal ministers, he may be able to escape disaster."
Huoshui tried his best to refute Gu Qingcheng's extreme words.
Gu Qingcheng sneered back: "Haha, if an emperor is reduced to the point where he needs to rely on whether others are sincere, then he is quite pathetic!"
Seeing the disaster, Gu Qingcheng still looked unhappy, and directly cited a real historical case——
"The eunuchs around Chongzhen were loyal enough. They didn't betray Chongzhen and were willing to hang with him. But, so what? Does it have any practical effect?"
Gu Qingcheng used historical cases as debate material, and Huoshui seemed to be inspired.
It hurriedly said, "Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, if Chongzhen has the ability to read minds, he should know the loyal ministers and female ministers in the court, so that he will not be deceived by the female ministers and kill the loyal ministers by mistake!"
Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt that it was useless to talk to a mentally retarded person.
However, I’ve said it all, so let’s just say it happily——
"Huosui, as an excellent emperor, even if he doesn't have the ability to read minds, he can still judge whether his ministers are loyal or ungrateful based on their words and deeds."
"Even if I am trapped in the palace and cannot detect the true situation, what are the hawks and dogs like the embroidered messenger, plum blossom guard, and brocade guard used for?"
"Also, some of the loyal ministers you mentioned who were mistakenly killed may not have selfish motives deep down in their hearts."
"To put it bluntly, if an emperor like Chongzhen had the ability to read minds, he would kill more people by mistake!"
Engaging in government affairs is not academic, and there is no need for right or wrong in the true sense.
What is important is balance. The forces of all parties in the court must be balanced, and the pros and cons must also be balanced.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish, so it is rare to be confused!
As long as it does not violate any principled issues, many minor flaws in moral character can be tolerated.
If you really want to "discuss the heart", Gu Qingcheng would bet that in the feudal dynasty for more than two thousand years, even if there are several prosperous dynasties with great names in history, there will not be a single "good person" in the entire dynasty!
