„But, later in Qingming City, you kills the You Guiqi incident, is to make Us be startled!” “可是,之后在青冥城,你杀幽鬼七一事,却是让朕大吃一惊啊！” Deeply inspires, Emperor raises the head to look at the day, the corners of the mouth curl upwards lightly, as if fell into what in the glorious memory: „At that time in Our brain, only then an idea, is the solemn Universe third wisdom star, does the Netherworld Valley brain truster, how die in an unknown young people hand? Also is since then, We start to pay attention in you. Perhaps at that time, besides Us , many people had the interest in you.” 深深地吸了口气,皇帝仰首望天,嘴角轻翘,似乎陷入了什么美好的回忆中般:“当时朕的脑子里只有一个想法,就是堂堂的天宇第三智星,幽冥谷智囊,是如何死在一个名不见经传的年轻人手里的？也是自那时起,朕开始关注于你。恐怕那时,除朕之外,也有很多人对你有了兴趣吧。” Hears this word, under the Zhuo Fan heart sighs one secretly, swung the head. 听到此言,卓凡不由心下暗叹一声,摇了摇脑袋。 Originally he was the plan has been low-key initially, slowly development strength, so as to avoid stared by the powerhouse. But, actually had/left the Ning'er incident, making him have to stand facing all. 本来他当初是打算一直低调下去,慢慢发展实力,免得被强者盯上的。可是,却偏偏出了凝儿一事,让他不得不站出来面对一切。 Then had afterward the Netherworld Valley empire wanted order, disrupted his all steps. 这才有了后来幽冥谷的帝国追杀令,打乱了他的所有步骤。 So wants to come, he seemingly does not look like to think is so calm, is sometimes impulsive. However this impulsive, he actually likes very much, is his one willful, crisp! 如此想来,他貌似并非像自己所想的那么冷静,有时还蛮冲动的。不过这种冲动,他却很喜欢,也算是他的一种任性,爽！ Seemed like saw in his heart thinks, Emperor raising the head chuckle, patted his shoulder saying: „You do not need for initial misjudges to feel the regret, We understand, like your bearing patiently person, will not have set up the powerful enemy. However is the golden association/will illumination, the sand cannot cover the radiance of diamond forever. Even you do not think, this matter will still happen quickly. Just, the ray of your gold, was too more dazzling, Our pair of old eyes was shaken by you quickly blindly, ha haha......” 似乎是看出了他心中所想,皇帝仰首轻笑一声,拍了拍他的肩膀道:“你不必为当初的失算感到懊悔,朕明白,像你这种隐忍之人,绝不会那么早就树立强敌。不过是金子总会发光,沙子永远掩盖不住钻石的璀璨。就算你不想,这种事也会很快发生的。只不过,你这块金子的光芒,也太刺眼了一些,朕的一双老眼都快被你晃瞎了,哈哈哈……” Has a good laugh, Emperor continues saying: „Later, Our frail heart, was just quiet, in several months, actually transmitted you to make a big row Rain of Flowers Building, killed three big aristocratic family elder matters continually. This, but frightens heavily Us! We want to prop up Luo Family to balance all influence, because of you, lets the chicken young who We just trained, almost held in the mouth by the wild wolf, falls short. At that time We was considering whether should give up you.” 仰天大笑一声,皇帝继续道:“之后,朕的一颗脆弱的心脏,刚刚消停了一些,没过几月,却又传来了你大闹花雨楼,连杀三大世家长老的事。这一下,可是把朕吓得不轻啊！朕想扶植洛家平衡各方势力,但就因为你,让朕刚刚培养起的这只小鸡仔,差点被野狼叼去,功亏一篑。当时朕都在考虑,是否该放弃你们了。” „, Is sorry your majesty, the boy is crude, almost harms your majesty painstaking care to waste, really ashamed.” Zhuo Fan stands up, bows slightly, cups the fist and says. “呃,抱歉陛下,小子鲁莽,差点害陛下心血白费,实在惭愧。”卓凡站起,微微躬身,抱拳道。 However in the heart, actually shows neither approval nor disapproval. 但是心中,却是不置可否。 This Emperor said to him, was seemingly sincere, did not have a truth. Although he has been saying the say/way of balance, but looks at his today's actions, where has the meaning that the least bit keeps in balance, clearly stirs up trouble! 这皇帝对他所言,看似推心置腹,却是没一句实话。虽然他一直在说制衡之道,但是看他今日所作所为,哪里有半点制衡的意思,分明就是挑事儿的！ Everything looked how he does, how do not listen to him saying that this is Zhuo Fan many years ago teaches the Lei Yuting handling matters criterion, he himself naturally also has the attainment. 凡事看他怎么做,不要听他如何说,这是卓凡多年前教给雷雨婷的处事准则,他自己自然也更有心得。 Therefore in the genuine and fake regarding this Emperor words, he himself is ordinary with the bright mirror, certainly not that easy fell into a trap. 所以对于这皇帝话中的真假,他自己心里却是跟明镜一般,绝不会那么容易中计。 Deeply looked at him for a long time, in the Emperor eye flashes through together brilliant none, is actually beckons with the hand to laugh saying: „Ha haha...... unobstructive, has passed in any case. Moreover, is since then, We discovered, good that imperial child said that you are the ability are indeed outstanding! If not so, how could the incompetent person does make such big noise? Therefore, We made a bold decision at that time, adjusts Old Marshall Dugu to rush to rescue Fenglin City anxiously, you know that is why?” 深深地看了他许久,皇帝眼中闪过一道睿智的精光,却是摆摆手大笑道:“哈哈哈……无碍,反正都已经过去了。而且,也是自那时起,朕才发现,皇儿说的不错,你的确是能力出众！若非如此的话,无能之辈岂能闹出这么大一个动静？所以,朕当时做出了一个大胆的决定,急调独孤老元帅驰援风临城,你知道是为什么吗？” „Your majesty to the Luo Family favor, Zhuo Fan is grateful!” Zhuo Fan rushes to do obeisance, respectful say/way. “陛下对洛家恩宠有加,卓凡感激涕零！”卓凡赶忙一拜,恭敬道。 Shakes the head slowly, Emperor is mystical says with a smile: „No, We not for Luo Family, but to preserve in you.” 缓缓摇了摇头,皇帝却是神秘一笑道:“不,朕不是为了洛家,而是为了保全于你。” „Zhuo Fan is terrified, the shame is not at all!” “卓凡惶恐,愧不敢当！” „Hehe...... you have nothing is not at all, you have this strength, We really am the appreciation. Moreover, the later all things also proved that We dispatched million army to guarantee a person of decision initially, is right. You work, has not disappointed Us!” Patted the Zhuo Fan shoulder ruthlessly, Emperor did not acclaim parsimoniously makes noise. “呵呵呵……你没什么不敢当的,你有这个实力,朕甚为欣赏。而且,之后的所有事情也证明了,朕当初调遣百万大军保一人的决定,是对的。你做事,从来没有让朕失望过！”狠狠地拍了拍卓凡肩头,皇帝毫不吝啬地赞叹出声。 Zhuo Fan has lowered the head, did not speak. 卓凡一直低着头,却是不说话。 The Emperor eye narrowed narrowing the eyes slightly, fixes the eyes on him not to put, finally entered the subject finally: „Zhuo Fan, We invited you to come, actually the incident consulted.” 皇帝眼睛微微眯了眯,紧盯着他不放,最后终是进入了正题:“卓凡,朕邀你前来,其实还有一事相商。” „Asked your majesty to tell!” Zhuo Fan pays respects say/way. “请陛下吩咐！”卓凡拜道。 „You feel...... the position of prime minister, to you how?” “你觉得……丞相之位,对你如何？” The body trembles coldly, under the Zhuo Fan heart in great surprise, mystified looks to him: „Your majesty, the empire does not have Prime Minister Zhuge to handle, why......” 身子冷不禁一颤,卓凡心下大惊,一脸迷惑地看向他:“陛下,帝国不是有诸葛丞相打理吗,为何……” „Hehe...... in empire three pansophy star, You Guiqi only excels at the schemes and tricks, cannot amount to something. Although Leng Wuchang has the talent, but the bearing is narrow and small, slightly loses the boldness. Prime Minister Zhuge is the rightest candidate, he also in figure ten years, continuously dry/does good....... He and We are common, is old. After We passed away, but also keeps one group of old person auxiliary politics, pulls to pull the tail to the later generation? Perhaps this matter is I do not prefer incessantly, the later generation will not comply.” “呵呵呵……帝国三大智星中,幽鬼七只擅阴谋诡计,上不了台面。冷无常虽然有才,但气量狭小,略失魄力。诸葛丞相是最合适人选,他也在位数十年了,一直干的不错。只是……他与朕一般,都已经老了。难道说,等朕与世长辞后,还留一帮老人辅政,给后人掣首掣尾吗？恐怕这件事不止是朕不情愿,连后人也不会答应吧。” The brow selects slightly, Zhuo Fan had understood the meaning of Emperor. His clearly is new Emperor, his son paves the way. 眉头微微一挑,卓凡已然明白了皇帝的意思。他这分明就是在为新任皇帝,他的儿子铺路。 He, if returns to the western paradise, the new sovereign ascends the throne, the foundation is not steady. Zhuge Changfeng this slippery customer, the power leans the government and people, the plans city mansion, his three sons, which is the opponent of this old fogy? 要知道,他若一旦归西,新皇登位,根基不稳。诸葛长风这个老油条,权倾朝野,心机城府,他那三个儿子,哪个是这老家伙的对手？ At the appointed time, certainly is the monarch weak and officials strong aspect, that this Universe can also be Yuwen Family? 届时,一定是君弱臣强的局面,那这天宇还会是宇文家的吗？ Hehe...... must certainly exchange ownerships. 呵呵呵……肯定要易主了。 But, his Zhuo Fan was different. In Imperial Court, same does not have the foundation, even if the new sovereign ascends the throne, the influence compared with him, that will be the Monarch strong feudal official weak bureau, will be easy the new sovereign to control! 可是,他卓凡就不一样了。在朝中,一样没有根基,就算新皇登位,势力怎么也会比他强,那就是君强臣弱之局,易于新皇把控！ But another point, assists new Monarch to govern the country, Zhuo Fan also has a familiar task and handles it with ease. After all, can a third-class aristocratic family, short less than ten years of time, the belt/bring the situation of governing next eight head, show that until now sufficiently his ability was is not generally intrepid. 而另一点,辅佐新君治理国家,卓凡也是驾轻就熟的。毕竟,能将一个三流世家,短短不到十年工夫,带到如今御下八家之首的地步,就足以证明他的能力不是一般强悍了。 Therefore Emperor looks for the assistance minister who he becomes new Monarch, was really anything considers. 所以皇帝找他当新君的辅佐大臣,真的是什么都考虑到了。 Closely is staring at him, Emperor said leisurely: „Zhuo Fan, your walks, We am looking. Your ability is not under Zhuge Changfeng, even still has had it. When he is at your age, may also be only a being ignorant of affair bookworm, you may compared with him. We believe, in the future you become compared with he more splendid Head of the Four Pillars, revering of prime minister, benefits Universe. Our imperial edict seals the name of your First Under Heaven Chief Butler, is to make you help Us manage this country!” 紧紧地盯着他,皇帝悠悠道:“卓凡,你这一路走来,朕都在看着。你的能力不在诸葛长风之下,甚至犹有过之。他在你这个年岁时,可还只是一介不谙世事的书呆子呢,你可比他强多了。朕相信,未来你会成为比他更出色的四柱之首,丞相之尊,造福天宇。朕敕封你天下第一大管家之名,就是让你帮朕管理好这个国家啊！” The Emperor look is quite sincere, the Zhuo Fan eyelid moves slightly, cannot see what genuine and fake, but he understands, in the Emperor heart has certainly a stem, then selected bright way simply: „But your majesty, you should also know, I have the dragon soul approaching body. Let me stay in Imperial Court, not dashing imperial family?” 皇帝的眼神极为真诚,卓凡眼皮微动,看不出什么真假,但是他明白,皇帝心中一定有个梗,便干脆挑明道:“可是陛下,您应该也知道,我有龙魂傍身。让我留在朝中,不会冲撞皇室吗？” Tact that Zhuo Fan said that but the meaning was actually similar to initial Huangpu Qingtian. 卓凡说的委婉,但其实意思跟当初的皇浦青天差不多。 The father is the so-called destiny turns over, in the future the King, you will not fear that I do seize your rivers and mountains? 老子就是所谓的天命所归,未来王者,难道你丫不怕我夺你江山？ „Ha haha......” “哈哈哈……” Laughs unconsciously, the Emperor complexion is confident, did not mind: „earth vein dragon soul, but the heaven and earth magical things, my imperial family ancestors suppress it, but for insurance my Universe ten thousand li (0.5 km) landscape good crop weather, the peaceful country and safe people, itself does not represent anything. Otherwise, why we must make Emperor Sect guard Dragon Locking City, did not fear that they do appropriate to oneself dragon soul, seize my rivers and mountains? Moreover, the Huangpu Qingtian body does not have dragon soul, said that the destiny turns over, hasn't died in your hands?” 不觉大笑一声,皇帝面色坦然,毫不介意:“地脉龙魂,不过天地灵物,我皇家先祖将它镇压,不过是为保我天宇万里河山风调雨顺,国泰民安,本身并不代表什么。否则的话,我们为何要让帝王门镇守锁龙城,难道不怕他们将龙魂据为己有,夺我江山吗？而且,皇浦青天不也身具龙魂,自称天命所归,还不是死在你的手里？” „Hehe...... the destiny, always grasps in own. The later generation descendants work hard for the prosperity of the country, the diligence loves the people, the Universe natural peaceful country and safe people, the common people are abundant, the later generation descendants are unfilial, sybaritism, how can also guarantee my Universe long-term peace and good government? Therefore a destiny saying, solid nihility, We, if believes, only need sit idle and enjoy the fruits then, how also to so work with the heart?” “呵呵呵……天命,从来掌握在自己手里。后辈子孙奋发图强,勤政爱民,天宇自然国泰民安,百姓富足,后辈子孙不孝,骄奢淫逸,又如何能保我天宇长治久安？所以天命一说,实在虚无,朕若相信,只需坐享其成即可,又怎会如此劳心呢？” The brow moves unconsciously, the Zhuo Fan slight nod, this Emperor said also real his mother holds true, making him have to believe. Believes as for the Emperor heart, he was unknown. 眉头不觉一动,卓凡微微点头,这皇帝说的还真他妈有理,让他不得不信。至于皇帝心中到底信不信,那他就不得而知了。 Hesitates the long time, Zhuo Fan holds the fist in the other hand slightly: „, Your majesty, please allows me to consider one again.” 沉吟半晌,卓凡微微抱拳:“呃,陛下,请容我再考虑一阵。” „Also good, thinks things over carefully before acting! But We really hope, you can for the empire potency, not lose Us to give you title of first under heaven butler!” The slight nod, Emperor is saying with a smile, is still so sincere. “也好,三思而后行！但朕真的希望,你能为帝国效力,不负朕给你天下第一管家的封号！”微微点头,皇帝笑着道,依旧如此真诚。 Even if Zhuo Fan saw, still sighs with emotion secretly. 即便卓凡见了,也不禁暗暗感慨。 If this Emperor today all are false, he leaves, when Emperor, when Shadow Emperor. 若这皇帝今日所有一切都是假的的话,那他就别当皇帝了,当影帝吧。 Later, two people also chatted several, Zhuo Fan then bowed to ask to be excused. Looks that his form disappears gradually, Emperor showed a strange smile finally. 之后,二人又聊了几句,卓凡便躬身告退了。看着他的身影渐渐消失,皇帝终是露出了一副诡异的笑容。 ! 咻咻！ The sound, two old forms appear side Emperor air-splitting, actually Dragon Protecting Divine Guard Fang Qiubai and Sima Hui two people. 破空声响,两道苍老身影出现在皇帝身边,却正是护龙神卫方秋白和司马徽二人。 Two people after Emperor did obeisance, Sima Hui then takes the lead saying: „reporting your majesty, the princess has gone back safely!” 二人向皇帝拜了拜后,司马徽便率先道:“启禀陛下,公主已经安全回去了！” „Un, this Yongning, is really the moment does not make Us be free from worry. If not this time Zhuo Fan appears promptly, this girl may be the big deal!” Long put out foul air, in the Emperor surface reveals rare rejoiced the color, obviously it attached great importance to this daughter. “嗯,这个永宁啊,真是一刻不让朕省心。这次若非卓凡及时出现,这丫头可就出大事了！”长长地吐出一口浊气,皇帝面上少有地露出了庆幸之色,可见其对这个女儿是多么重视。 Fang Qiubai is also the deep sigh makes noise, helpless shakes the head: „Cannot think of this Zhuo Fan, but several days do not see, holds in high esteem. Perhaps now his strength, has exceeded us......, this small monster!” 方秋白也是长叹出声,无奈摇头:“想不到这个卓凡,只是几日不见,就刮目相看。现在他的实力,恐怕已经超越我们了……唉,这个小怪物！” „Snort, far more than is the small monster, simply is Sprit Illumination peak Zhuge Changfeng, civil and military has both, was extremely really dangerous!” The eye narrows the eyes slightly, Emperor coughs unconsciously fiercely. “哼,何止是小怪物,简直就是一个神照巅峰的诸葛长风,文武兼备,实在太过危险了！”眼睛微微一眯,皇帝不觉剧烈地咳嗽起来。 „Coughs...... to take a paper!” “咳咳咳……拿笔纸来！” „Yes!” “是！” attendant complies with one, is then complete the pen paper preparation. 近侍答应一声,便将笔纸准备齐全。 Emperor writes several large characters on that white paper maturely and powerfully, actually his three imperial child names. Looks at that three familiar handwriting, in Emperor eye complex, but is the look is ultimately certain, said lightly: „Just outside situation, told Us well, particularly their responses.” 皇帝在那白纸上苍劲有力地写出几个大字,却正是他三个皇儿的名字。看着那三个熟悉的字迹,皇帝眼中复杂,但最终却是眼神一定,淡淡道:“刚刚外面的情形,跟朕好好说一下,尤其是他们三人的反应。” „Yes!” A Fang Qiubai nod, then outside the matters of 1510 place said city. “是！”方秋白一点头,便一五一十地将城外的事说了一遍。 Emperor hesitates the long time, takes a cinnabar pen, stops before the Crown Prince name, mutters makes noise: „Eldest child is calm, treats people smoothly, venerates the ancestor to teach, actually the capital of clear(ly)......” 皇帝沉吟半晌,拿起一支朱砂笔,在太子名字前停下,喃喃出声:“老大性格沉稳,待人圆滑、尊崇祖训,倒是明君之资……” Emperor is saying, while draws a circle behind his name, after when drew three red circles, is actually suddenly a brow wrinkle, sighed: „But do you do obedient, incorrigibly obstinate, must receive the person to be tired, oh......” 皇帝一边说着,一边在他名字后面画着圈,可是待画了三个红圈后,却是陡然眉头一皱,叹道:“可是你这么听话干什么,顽固不化,必受人累,唉……” Helpless shakes the head, Emperor was drawing a big fork finally, then before arrives at the name of second child, drew two: „Second child fierce good junction, the conduct has the ambition decisively, actually rash, seeks an impossibility, sooner or later, when the spear/gun caused, snort/hum......” 无奈摇摇头,皇帝在最后画了一个大叉,然后又来到老二的名字前,画了两圈:“老二勇猛善交,行事果断而有野心,却性格莽撞,与虎谋皮,迟早被当枪使了,哼……” The Emperor even/including draws three big forks, the air/Qi results in the beard to shake: „This second child, cannot withstand uses greatly!” 皇帝连画三个大叉,气得胡子直抖:“这个老二,不堪大用！” Finally, before he arrived at third child's name, hesitated, actually drew a question mark, then stopped the pen. 最后,他又来到了老三的名字前,迟疑了一下,却是画了个问号,便停笔了。 „Your majesty, how......” Fang Qiubai stares, perplexed. “陛下,怎么……”方秋白一愣,不明所以。 Shakes the head slowly, Emperor makes noise lightly: „We know you toward the third child, but Our these three sons, but must observe one well. Especially this third child, We somewhat could not understand. Otherwise, We pave the way to them laboriously, in the end runs into a non- loyal son, wasted all one's money the world, We will die will not die content!” 缓缓摇了摇头,皇帝淡淡出声:“朕知道你是向着老三的,不过朕这三个儿子,还需好好观察一阵才是啊。尤其是这个老三,朕也有些看不懂了。否则,朕辛辛苦苦给他们铺路,到头来遇到个不孝子,把天下都败光了,那朕可是死都不会瞑目啊！” Long sighed, in Emperor eye sorrow color. 长长地叹了口气,皇帝眼中一片哀色。 He now really the hope, in his three sons, even if, has Zhuo Fan half of city government offices, he can also pass on the position safely...... 他现在真希望,他的三个儿子中,哪怕有一个,有卓凡一半的城府,他也就可以安然传位了……
