Chapter 852 Comfortable Relationship Between Monarch and Subject

At the moment, there was no one else in the Qinzheng Hall except him and Rong Yu, so Xuanyuan Yao was not worried about being overheard by others.

Walking to Rong Yu's side, Xuanyuan Yao raised his hand to pinch his master's shoulders and neck, and said in a humble and steady voice: "My father is the prince of Dongling. He grew up in the imperial city since he was a child. He was influenced by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor. He has a father-son relationship with his grandfather, and he is upright and persevering, so he will not have any other thoughts."

"I came to the master at the age of thirteen, and I have worn out my youthful edge. I have been trained by the master for five years. In addition to having a general understanding of the master's temperament and character, I also respect the master and dare not have other thoughts. The master also knows me very well, so Because the master trusts me, he has no scruples about giving me power. "

"But my younger brother is different."

"Huainan is far away from the capital. Even if my father teaches him with all his heart and teaches him to be loyal to the king and the country, without that friendship, loyalty will always be discounted. "

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Yao pursed his lips: "I am not afraid of offending the master. If I had not had the experience of being with the master for five years, I might not be so convinced by the return of Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent today."

Loyalty is definitely there.

After all, he has been taught the idea of ​​loyalty to the king since he was a child, and it is impossible for him to have any rebellious thoughts casually.

However, even if he is loyal, he only maintains the most basic way of monarch and minister, abides by the royal laws such as etiquette, palace rules, and laws, but the monarch and minister will never give up power and trust as unscrupulously as they are now.

The king values ​​trust, and the minister is loyal and unwavering. He is not suspicious because of military power, and is not defensive because of military merit. Only pure and unreserved trust is the most comfortable monarch-minister friendship.

Far away from the imperial city, the king has no idea about the temperament of the generals who hold military power, so how can he talk about trust? There is no friendship between the king and his subjects, so how can they be close to each other?

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, under the supreme power of the emperor, it can only end with killing in many cases.

Xuanyuan Yao is more concerned about the fate of the Huainan Palace. After all, there will be too many loyal ministers and generals around the king, but the Huainan Palace has only his younger brother to inherit the bloodline. Once there is a rift between the king and his subjects in the future, the entire Huainan Palace will be implicated.

He also doesn't care about letting Rong Yu know his true thoughts.

Silence lasted for a moment.

Xuanyuan Yao spoke again: "I hope that in twenty years, the prince and my brother will be like the master and me, willing to be driven because of their sincere submission, and will be loyal to this person for the rest of their lives. Even if they are torn to pieces, they will never have any other thoughts."

"Father will teach with all his heart. Hui'er's future and responsibilities after he grows up have been planned. I also know that the prince will be a wise ruler after being taught by the master. It's just that I am narrow-minded. Military power is always something that cannot eliminate risks. I can't help but have some sense of crisis."

He glanced at Rong Yu. He had said these words very seriously and respectfully before. Until the end, his voice was a bit flattering: "The master should understand my concerns."

This was the first time he really spoke such a long paragraph of his heart in front of Rong Yu without reservation, for the sake of his brother's future.

Even if these words were not said so carefully, Rong Yu would not be unable to understand what he meant, but Xuanyuan Yao still said it, expressing all his thoughts frankly, and firmly believed that his master would definitely meet his request.

Rong Yu drank tea with a calm expression, showing no emotion.

Xuanyuan Yao looked at his profile: "Master?"

"Hmm?" Rong Yu frowned slightly, "If you want to press, press hard. Didn't you eat?"

Xuanyuan Yao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and eyes and added a little strength. His expression was focused and his technique was skillful, making Rong Yu's shoulders and neck feel particularly comfortable.

"Due to the war in South Vietnam, there have been too many government affairs. The master should be tired." Xuanyuan Yao said, "The weather was cold before the New Year. Is the master feeling unwell? Has the root of the disease recurred?"

"With Chu Nanyi here, you don't have to worry." Rong Yu lowered his brows to review the memorials, "Has your father agreed to the decision to bring Xuanyuan Hui to the imperial capital?"

"My father hasn't said anything yet." Xuanyuan Yao said, "We have to wait for the master's consent first."

"Why did you drive Xie Jin out just now?"

Xuanyuan Yao coughed lightly: "If he stayed here, I really couldn't open my mouth to say what I said just now."

"I thought you were avoiding him."

"That's not the case." Xuanyuan Yao told the truth, "I can talk to him almost everything now."
