In the room, Zong Ruwen and Meng Changqing were talking about the current situation in the DPRK.
Although Zong Ruwen was recuperating at home, given his status, even if he did not attend the morning court, he still knew the key things in the court.
"...The marriage between the master's family and the prince is already a certainty. Judging from this, the Ministry of War and the prince are already inseparable..."
Listening to what Zong Ruwen said, Meng Changqing only felt tired, exhausted both physically and mentally. She was fighting back and forth just to put the prince on the throne. What about herself? The best outcome is to wait until the prince becomes emperor to appreciate her and give her a bigger official position.
Compared with what the prince got, what she will get in the future will be too little.
Thinking of this, Meng Changqing thought of the scenes he saw when he opened the gate of Yangmen County. Those who were hungry and cold, the children in the schools of Beishan County today, and the people working in the fields.
There was a sigh of relief in her chest. Among the people living between heaven and earth, there were some who were living a noble life but were still dissatisfied and wanted to hold the power for a while. Some people just wanted to live, so they had to use all their strength to gamble. All luck.
The gap between people was so big that it confused her, and she couldn't help but wonder, is this a real world?
"...The third prince seems to have failed, but in fact he is often summoned by His Majesty." Zong Ruwen said: "Between the two of them, no one can predict who will sit on the throne until the last moment, and even His Majesty cannot predict it today. .”
Meng Changqing nodded, "I know."
"You are far away in Liangzhou and won't be back in a short time. Things in the capital will not affect you easily. You can rest assured and concentrate on the things in front of you."
"Master." Meng Changqing paused for a while before asking, "Can I still return to Beijing?"
Zong Ruwen seemed to understand her concerns in this regard. He did not answer directly, but asked: "Is your Beishan County bad?"
"I'm living well in Beishan County, but I don't want to stay in Beishan County forever." Meng Changqing never concealed his ambitions in front of Zong Ruwen.
"No matter who sits on the throne in a few years, you will come back." Zong Ruwen said, "If you are still the current majesty, you will definitely be promoted back to the capital. If the prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely call you back to the capital to let you You are his right and left arm. If you are the third prince... there is no place in the world for you to hide. Only when you return to the capital can you deal with it."
Meng Changqing couldn't control his emotions for a moment and sneered. Zong Ruwen looked at Meng Changqing's face carefully and noticed the complicated emotions in her eyes.
"Evergreen, to the ministers, it doesn't matter who is the emperor."
Meng Changqing asked: "Is it really the same?"
"As long as he is not too ridiculous, as long as he seeks a virtuous name, it will be fine." Zong Ruwen stared at Meng Changqing and said: "Even if you become the emperor, it will be the same. As long as there are emperors in the world, then the world will be The emperor’s world.”
When Meng Changqing walked out of the courtyard, he was still thinking about what Zong Ruwen said, as long as there is an emperor, the world will be the emperor's world, even if you become the emperor.
Zong Shouqing called her twice before she came back to her senses, "Master Zong, I'm sorry."
"What did father tell you? Why are you acting like this?" Seeing her abnormality, Zong Shouqing naturally wanted to ask.
Meng Changqing said casually: "Oh, I asked Master when I could return to Beijing, and Master gave me a few words."
"Why are you worried about this?" Zong Shouqing said, "You are not old enough now, so what official position can you get if you stay in the capital? It is better to practice outside. When you are old enough, His Majesty will naturally call you back."
"Master said the same thing."
"Just wait for me for a while. After I say hello to my father, we can have breakfast together."
