Hello Chang'an Chapter 658

Chapter 658 Cui Weixiang talks

Li Suining first asked Cui Jing about Chang Kuo's entry into the palace today, and then talked about political affairs one after another.

She would say whatever came to her mind, more like she was reviewing herself. There was often no connection between the previous sentence and the next sentence, but Cui Jing could always catch her words smoothly and help her smooth out everything smoothly. No feeling of blockage.

This made Li Suining feel extremely comfortable. As soon as she thought that Cui Ling'an would always be by her side from now on, she felt very relaxed, as if most of her fatigue had been relieved by him.

Seeing that she was no longer in a hurry to continue, Cui Jing said at the right time: "Today, the Meng Dong family sent nearly a hundred jars of wine to the palace. It is said that it was brought back from Jiangdu and is called Feng Zhi Niang."

"More than a hundred jars." Li Suining put his hands on his sides and looked at the night: "There are so many, how long will it take to drink..."

The winemaker thought her wine was as good as before.

Did he always make wine when he was in Jiangdu?

Li Suijing was quiet and lost consciousness for a while.

Yu Zeng's body was collected by Menglie's people. Li Suining didn't know where he was buried, and he never asked.

Li Suining remembered that he said that his original name was Liu Mingke, a native of Yanzhou, and he was originally from a family of minor officials. If he had not suffered family changes when he was young, he might have studied and become an official... He was very smart and learned everything well. quick.

After a long time, Li Suining said: "Then keep it and drink it slowly. One day when something happy happens, just open a jar."

Cui Jing responded: "Okay."

Li Suining continued to talk to him about government affairs.

The summer night wind made people drowsy, and Li Suining gradually became sleepy, and then he simply leaned on Cui Jing's shoulders and arms to rest.

In the breeze smelling of summer flowers, Cui Jing slightly curved the corners of her mouth, trying to make the shoulder she was leaning on straight enough but not stiff, so that she could lean on it more firmly and comfortably.

He turned his head slightly to look at her and lowered his voice: "You must be tired these days."

"Hmm..." Li Suining's voice was still cheerful: "After this busy period, I will secretly take a day off, a whole day."

As he spoke, he urged Cui Jing: "Go on, I'm listening."

"It's related to Lingnan Road and Qianzhong Road. Let me tell you, Your Highness can take a closer look..." Cui Jing's voice was particularly pure and sweet in the night. He said slowly: "Maybe General Xiao Min can lead these two roads at the same time. As Jiedushi, the Lingnan Road is vast and its forces are scattered, but General Xiao has found the way and taken root. If someone else changes his position, he will inevitably have to start over again. However, if the forces of the Central Guizhou Road are concentrated, General Xiao will have to find his way again. Sharing military power in the Central Guizhou Province can also intimidate and suppress the people of Lingnan Province, which will help to win over the various tribes in Lingnan in the future. "

“Li Yin's influence on the Central Guizhou Road must be eradicated. She Kui's son She Shao can be allowed to serve as General Xiao's assistant officer, and work with the Sun clan of the governor of Guizhou to wipe out the remnants of Li Yin's party—”

“Although Lingnan Road is barren and barren, it is also close to the sea. When Lingnan Road returns to the center, it may be like Jiangdu to build ships and go to sea to explore new routes. If there are gains, we can follow the example of Jiangdu and set up a shipping department..."

Cui Jing said a lot, but did not hear Li Suining's response again. She turned her head and lowered her eyes, only to see that the person who claimed "I am listening" had closed his eyes and fell asleep. He was obviously really tired.

However, her facial features are relaxed, and the corners of her mouth still have a slight upward curve. It seems that she is dreaming and immersed in the great ideas about future national affairs.

In the breeze, Cui Jing raised her hand and moved a few broken hairs on her cheeks from the tip of her nose, and gently tucked them behind her ears.

He wanted to sit with her like this for a while longer, but he was more afraid that she would catch the wind. The ceremony was in three days, and taking good care of her was also one of his responsibilities.

Fortunately, he and she will have many years to sit in silence like this.

When Cui Jing thought of this, his eyebrows were filled with a look of peace and contentment.

After a moment, Cui Jing carefully put one arm around Li Suining's waist, held her legs up with the other, and picked her up securely from where she was.

Xi'er was inexplicably happy and excited when she saw this. She pursed her lips and tried her best to suppress her smile. She only laughed secretly in her heart. She looked calm and decent on the outside and followed Cui Jing into the inner hall.

Cui Jing bent down and gently placed Li Suining on the bed, telling Xi'er that she only needed to take off her shoes, boots, coat and hairpin. There was no need to wake her up to take a bath, and let her have a good sleep.

"Yes, don't worry, Commander-in-Chief." Xi'er responded in a low voice.

Cui Jing quietly looked at the peaceful and peaceful sleeping face again, then turned and left.

Zhai Xi bowed and presented him respectfully.

Preparations for the grand ceremony were being carried out everywhere in the palace, and most of the lights were on at this time. The palace attendants and ladies were busy going in and out of the palace. Cui Jing left the palace with his front feet, and only then did he see the inner palace door locked.

After leaving the inner palace gate, there was still a corridor that led directly out of the imperial city. Cui Jing had just walked a few dozen steps when he saw a tall figure standing quietly on the palace path under the moonlight. He didn't know how long he had been waiting here.

Seeing Cui Jing, the figure walked forward and naturally walked side by side with Cui Jing. He said with a smile: "I haven't seen Governor Cui leave the palace for a long time. I thought that Governor Cui would go to the general's place to rest tonight. "

“Why are you looking for me?” Cui Jing always had no words of greeting.

"It's nothing." Wei Shuyi chatted casually: "After you returned to Beijing, you and I have not had time to talk about old times... I am busy with affairs in the court every day, but you rarely have time to relax."

At this point, he sighed and asked, "Cui Ling'an, are you really determined to be the emperor's husband?"

Cui Jing did not avoid it and did not feel it was inappropriate: "I should be able to do a good job."

He is already learning how to do it, and he thinks he will do it well.

This tone was actually very serious. Wei Shuyi couldn't help but laugh. It was rare that he didn't tease him. After a while, he just said: "Ever since I was a child, no matter what you do, you have always been good at doing it without reservation."

Wei Shuyi calls this a "good at".

Because he has always been firm and unquestionable, he dares to have no reservations. This is a skill that is difficult for most people to master. At least Wei Shuyi thinks he does not have this skill.

Cui Jing was not in a hurry to talk and just let Wei Shuyi talk on his own. He did not believe Wei Shuyi's "nothing happened".

The two of them walked for more than ten steps before Wei Shuyi spoke again, but he asked slowly:

"Cui Ling'an, if you are curious about a person and want to know what secrets she hides, will you test her? If so, how will you choose to test?"

This question sounds confusing and out of the blue.

In the past, Cui Jing would have ignored these useless words. He was never a person who liked to chat with others, especially Mr. Wei Xiang, who always had many traps in his words.

And he rarely gets curious about anyone.

But at this moment, Cui Jing answered Wei Shuyi's question uncharacteristically.

“One-sided testing, in my opinion, is a strategy to deal with the enemy.”

He looked ahead, with no emotion or anger in his voice. He was just saying to himself: "If she is not an enemy and I want to know her secret, then I should treat her with sincerity and frankness. When will she be willing to believe her?" When I do, the answer appears.”

The so-called temptation is to want to know the secrets hidden by the other party, while hiding oneself without revealing anything. But outside of facing enemies, secrets are not for testing, but for exchange.

Wei Shuyi was startled for a moment, and then there was a trace of sadness in his smiling voice: "I didn't even ask about the right path... I chose the far path instead of the near one."

Perhaps when the word "temptation" appeared in his heart and his actions, it already showed his arrogance and offense.

"From the first day we met, I made her feel offended. No wonder she became defensive towards me." Wei Shuyi looked at the long palace road, and his thoughts were also very long. This is the first time he has talked about this long thought with others.

“I always think back over and over again, where was my arrogance and where was my failure... Is it because I have known my mother for a long time, and even though she has never met me, she treats me as a junior from the beginning?”

“Or when she was in danger in Dayun Temple, I didn't help her like you did?”

“Perhaps when something happens to Mr. Chang's family...”

He really thought about it a lot. He was probably slow in everything. He always carefully considered the pros and cons and whether it should be done or not. Many times he looked at her from the perspective of a bystander and even analyzed her. Sometimes he felt that she didn't need it. He is good at making suggestions and helping...

But now that I think about it, for many things, whether others need them is another matter, and whether she can give them to herself is another matter - especially when she first returned to this world, treating others and dealing with things was like crossing a river by feeling for stones. There was another person like him on the shore, intent on spying and watching everything she did, even with amusement at first.

And what is Cui Lingan doing? Accompanying her across the river, even when I don't know who she is or where she is going, I am already accompanying her.

She has very important things to do and her own path to walk. She never stops and looks back at the way she came from, and she has no time to get entangled with meaningless people and things.

Whoever follows her will be the one she turns to look at.

By the time he realized it and wanted to keep up, it was already too late.

He missed the best opportunity to get close to her, and was more than one step too late.

Wei Shuyi said seriously: "Cui Ling'an, I am indeed not as good as you."

Cui Jing had no intention of comparing with him: "You are not inferior to me."

　　　“It's not like you lost to me.”

"Also, I guess she has never thought about the many reasons you just mentioned. Those are not the reasons." Cui Jing's voice was not serious. When he mentioned "her", he always spoke in such a gentle way. In a tone of voice: "Prime Minister Wei, there is no need to be so self-reflective, and there is no need to underestimate her."

Wei Shuyi listened quietly, walked with his hands behind his hands, and raised his head slightly to look at the moon: "That's right. Only those who care will fall into it. Because they never care, they have never thought about it."

Cui Jing corrected: "It's also out of respect."

Wei Shuyi turned to look at Cui Jing.

　　Cui Jing did not look at him, only looking ahead: "She appreciates and respects Prime Minister Wei."

“There's no need for me to elaborate on Prime Minister Wei's abilities.” Cui Jing's tone was firm: “So I think she has never looked at Prime Minister Wei with such a selective eye.”

Some things are just not, and they may not have that many mental journeys.

Looking back on all my thoughts, I am just trapped in myself.

Wei Shuyi found himself in the position of the loser and repeatedly reflected on himself, but this was unnecessary.

Wei Shuyi has never lost, nor has he won, and she is not a picker. In this matter, no one needs to reflect on themselves or each other.

After a long time, Wei Shuyi sighed: "Cui Ling'an, you really understand her better than me."

“However, I really want to let her choose.”

There is a self-deprecating sense of loss in this unserious tone.

A person who has been in the clouds since he was a child says he hopes he can be chosen by others.

This disappointment was covered up in just a moment. Wei Shuyi looked at Cui Jing again and sighed: "Cui Ling'an, you are also happy to be chosen. You know my mood well, so why bother to comfort me like this."

These "utterly ungrateful" and "obsessed" words made Cui Jing return to her former self: "...but I was chosen."

Wei Shuyi's smile narrowed slightly: “…”

Cui Jing: "Naturally, I am in the mood to say sarcastic words and generously comfort those who have not been chosen."

Wei Shuyi: “……”

Sure enough, Cui Lingan did not let him go in the end.

Wei Shuyi also calmed down and said with a sudden expression: "I know, you are so uncharacteristically patient and comforting, just because you want me to give up and let go."

"But Cui Ling'an, why do you think I chose to talk to you instead of confronting her?"

Cui Jing: "Because she won't pay attention to you on such boring things."

"...This is one of them." Wei Shuyi's smile froze for a moment, and he continued: "There is another reason - because I still have something in mind, so naturally I dare not tell her about it, so as not to ruin the relationship."

The words "tutu" and "情fen" undoubtedly sounded unpleasant to Cui Jing's ears, even harsh.

"Although I have regrets, I have no regrets." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "Cui Ling'an, from now on you will be your royal husband, and I will be my good prime minister. From now on, I will follow her as a king, a saint, and a virtuous minister, and we will complement each other in life." In the prosperous times, it is also a good story that will remain in the history books for a hundred years after death - you say, what regrets do you have in such a life? "

There is far more than one identity that can be maintained in this world.

While Wei Shuyi was speaking, he slowly stopped, faced Cui Jing, stretched out half his arm, and invited Cui Jing to clap his hands together, while saying: "From now on, you and I will each occupy our own positions and pursue our own affairs, and we will cooperate happily and harmoniously. How about that?" ?”

Cui Jing glanced at the palm that was clearly intended to cause trouble, raised her legs and walked away without saying a word.

"I said Cui Jing..." Wei Shuyi chased after him: "How can you, the future emperor's husband, be so narrow-minded and narrow-minded?"

“There is no room for people, this is absolutely unacceptable...”

“Didn't I just say that you can do a good job with this royal husband?”

Under the moonlight, the two figures and Wei Shuyi's laughter gradually disappeared at the end of the palace road.

The night is already deep.

The clear moonlight shines on the green grass leaves, and it takes a night to slowly condense into crystal dewdrops.

As soon as the dawn wind blows, the dewdrops on the leaves tremble and fall, and the morning sun comes to collect them on time.

　In the evening, when the wind became cooler and the clouds became denser, suddenly a burst of thunder rolled and a heavy rain fell. The noisy rain extinguished the scorching summer heat, and white rain and mist rose from the ground.

The rain stopped the next day, and the whole capital was washed with a new look. The plantains became greener, the sky became clearer, the glazed tiles became clearer, and the world became more peaceful.

In this clear, bright and peaceful place, the ascension ceremony arrived as scheduled.

See you tomorrow.
