.    After Bai Nu left, Wanyan Yunhua did not return to the house immediately. Instead, she walked to the yard and sat on a wicker chair, silently thinking about Bai Nu's purpose and the meaning of her words.

    She didn¡¯t believe that Bai Nu was really that leisurely and had time to persuade herself, a foreign princess who was destined not to be trusted by Zhao Yun.  No matter how loyal she is to the Song Dynasty, the result will not change.

    She knows this very well.

    When she decided to join the Song Dynasty, she thought a lot and made a lot of decisions. But after she actually did it, she felt at a loss and couldn't find the way forward for a while.

    Even if Song State takes you in, it will be difficult to realize your original intention of seeking refuge with Song State.

    What¡¯s more, until now, she is still a little hesitant about whether to sincerely join the Song Dynasty and devote all her energy to obtain Zhao Yun. She is even afraid, and she feels confused about using all her wealth to fight for the unknown.

    Is this step right or wrong? What should I do?

    Countless questions hit Wanyan Yunhua¡¯s mind, making her have a splitting headache and become extremely irritable.

    He stood up and walked around the courtyard for more than ten times before gradually regaining his composure. He sat back on the wicker chair and carefully recalled and considered every word Bai Nu said, thinking about the purpose behind the other party.

    Especially the last sentence of asking yourself made her feel trembling.  She felt that Bai Nu had seen through her thoughts, knew her contradictions and hesitations, and even understood her pain and worries.  This sentence seemed like persuasion, but it was more about letting her figure it out. Only when she made the final decision could she set the next steps and tone.  Only then can you finally free yourself.

    Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly.

    Since the death of Monk Wan Yancheng, she has been confused and hurt. On the one hand, she knows that the Kingdom of Jin is hopeless.  This cannot be undone by human power. On the other hand, she can't worry about her own people.  Although these people disappointed her, she still wanted to give up on them.  It's really hard to do it.

    After knowing that Wanyan Shouxu planned to abandon her, out of despair and resentment, she completely lost all expectations for him, but she was unwilling to do so. After meeting Zhao Yun in Luzhou, she was moved by his words.  He actually had the urge to seek refuge with Zhao Yun.

    This time when I came to Jiankang and learned more about the situation in Song Dynasty, this impulse became stronger.  It became unstoppable.  Finally, when she met Zhao Yun, she said those words of refuge.

    But what she didn¡¯t expect was that even if she revealed the decision that had been bothering her for a long time, her pain and worry would not be relieved at all. Instead, they would become more serious and even interfere with her decision.

    Wanyan Yunhua does not think of herself as an indecisive, hesitant woman.  But in this matter.  She was really worried about gains and losses and was indecisive.  This made her hate it.  It also caused her pain.

    "There have been so many princesses in the Kingdom of Jin, why am I the one who has to bear them?"

    A touch of water mist blurred my eyes, a cold feeling slid down my cheeks, my heart felt like ice, and my whole body felt cold.

    Time passed slowly, and it was not until the moonlight covered the earth that Wanyan Yunhua gradually recovered. She knew that no matter what, some things were different. Ever since she said those words to Zhao Yun, everything had been different. Many things had changed.  Nothing can be decided by her.

    Or, as Bai Nu said, she does not have the ability to complete a painting, but she can use it as paint to make the painting better.

    Maybe, your way out is here.

    With a long sigh, Wanyan Yunhua twisted her stiff neck, only to find a dark figure standing next to her. She glanced at it and it was Hara.

    "Thank you for your hard work." Wanyan Yunhua said lightly. She did not feel embarrassed for losing her composure in front of her subordinates, but felt a faint sense of relief.

    "Is the princess feeling better?" Hala looked at her with concern, his eyes showing undisguised worry.

    Wanyan Yunhua smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was okay.  She has made a decision in her heart at this moment. No matter whether this decision is right or wrong, she must go on. Whether it is broken into pieces, dead without a burial place, or rough and difficult, and finally getting what she wants, these are no longer her considerations.  , she just wants to follow the decision at this moment.

    No more hesitation, no more worries, just keep going.

    Hara seemed to sense some changes in Wanyan Yunhua. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Princess, what should we do?" Wanyan Yunhua's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that this subordinate was aware of her thoughts, but this was not the case.  It's nothing. If you really want to do this, having Hara's help will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

    After organizing her words, Wanyan Yunhua asked softly: "Haha, do you know the story of Shang Yang's three meetings with the King of Qin?"

    Hala knows Wanyan YunhuaHe didn't just ask casually. He pondered for a moment before nodding and said: "In the past, Shang Yang met Qin Xiaogong and talked to Qin Xiaogong about the three principles of emperor, king and domineering. In the end, only domineering was adopted by Qin Xiaogong and carried out reforms, which ultimately greatly increased the strength of the Qin State.  , and finally unified the world."

    Wanyan Yunhua smiled and her eyes gradually became clearer: "But the Qin Kingdom died after its second generation. Everyone said that Qin's laws were harsh and the second generation was incompetent, but a few people understand the difference between the emperor and the three."

    "Princess, please clarify."

    "Song, Mongolia, Jinxia, ??four kingdoms were side by side, just like in troubled times, competing for supremacy. The so-called general trend of the world will inevitably converge after a long period of separation. Rather, it is better to say that heroes emerge in troubled times." When Wanyan Yunhua said this, she didn't know what she thought of, and her eyes dimmed, "After these years,  It is an indisputable fact that the Song Dynasty is the dominant country in the land war. Although Mongolia still has the ability to fight, but overall, it is no longer as good as the Song Dynasty. As for the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, they are just hanging on and dying"

    Speaking of this, Wanyan Yunhua suddenly stopped talking and looked at Hara with shining eyes, as if she had a deep meaning.

    Hala's mind was spinning, and he immediately asked: "So, joining Song Guofang is the best choice?" Wanyan Yunhua was somewhat approving, but did not answer immediately. She turned her eyes away and looked at the brilliant night sky speechless for a long time.  .  She feels clear now, ever since she made the final decision.  Those troubles in the past seemed to disappear and never appeared again, which also made her feel a clear understanding of her current decision: perhaps, this was her true inner thoughts.

    Withdrawing his gaze and looking at Hara again, Wanyan Yunhua avoided the topic.  He turned and said: "The so-called imperial way is too nihilistic and benevolent. It is even more ridiculous. Let's read the history books. Who can rule the world by relying on the imperial way, and who can maintain the foundation of the ancestors by relying on the imperial way? Except those Confucianists.  Nerds, who would really believe this? Emperor, emperor, the important thing is not the emperor's way but the king's way. The emperor is aloof and solemn. But without the king's arbitrariness, how can the emperor's glory be infinite? It's a pity, it's a pity,  The world talks about the emperor. But they forget that the king is the key. The emperor is just an accessory to the king."

    Hala was a little confused by what he said, but he finally knew that Wanyan Yunhua was talking to him about some major policy considerations. Although he didn¡¯t quite understand what he said, he remembered it carefully and was ready to think about it carefully when he came back.

    Wanyan Yunhua didn't care whether Hala understood or not, and continued: "In these years, I have traveled here and there. I have come into contact with heroes from all over the world, especially the works of Emperor Zhao Yun of the Song Dynasty. It made me deeply understand that emperors, kings, and overlords  The three are not as simple as Shang Yang said. On the contrary, they have different connotations and represent different stages of kings in the world. The overlord is full of heroic spirit and full of confidence, and can often do great things that are earth-shattering, but the overlord will not  Affected by the so-called righteousness, they cannot get rid of the influence of personal will, and even have some benevolence as women, laying hidden dangers for themselves. The most regrettable thing is that the tyrants often kill violently for some grudges and righteousness, regardless of the overall situation, and instead  Pushing one's own strength to the enemy's side, even if it is an act of benevolence in a narrow sense, is offset by this kind of cruelty, resulting in the final failure and death without a burial place."

    Hala thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He knew very well about the struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony. The hegemon in the world was none other than Xiang Yu. His actions and ending were just as the princess said.

    Wanyan Yunhua seemed to be inspired by the words. She casually broke off a flower leaf and played with it in her palm. A look of confidence and calmness appeared on her lips: "The king is not showy, and even has no morals. What he does is looked down upon. The king leads the righteousness.  , you can determine or change the standards of justice for your own interests, and find a high-sounding name for your shameless behavior. On the surface, it is benevolent and righteous, but in fact it is far more ruthless than the hegemon. The king is ruthless and cruel, completely profit-oriented and selfish.  Self-interested people. But the king can take over the overall situation, not stick to small details, not be influenced by temporary emotions, can win the hearts of the people, and be lenient to the people. Therefore, in the eyes of the people, the king is kind, generous, and trustworthy. As everyone knows, the king  They are the ones who really use them most thoroughly.

    Even so, only the king can start from scratch and conquer a country with his bare hands. In this sense, the king is the real winner.  However, the king is only in the initial stage of success. Only by becoming an emperor can the world be truly in his hands.  The emperor has a lofty status, and everything he does follows the standards of the world. However, because of this, the succeeding emperors often fail to understand the essence of the founding ancestors. Instead, they just sit back and enjoy the success, and are gradually corrupted by sensuality, until they are corrupted by another.  The king takes over, over and over again, without end.  Hala, who do you think is the current king?  "

    This question is difficult to answer, but Hala thought about it and said, "Could it be Song Emperor Zhao Yun?"

    To Hara's surprise, Wanyan Yunhua shook his head: "I thought he was before, but now it seems that Zhao Yun can only be called a tyrant for the time being. Looking at what Zhao Yun has done in these years, whether it is shabby or vulgar,  Strict legal systemReforming bad habits, emphasizing agriculture and commerce, strengthening military preparations, emphasizing rewards and punishments for the army, and boosting morale are just the methods of a hegemon, and they have not yet reached the smoothness of a king. Especially in the case of Lintao, it is clear that Zhao Yun is in a certain situation.  In some respects, we cannot escape the influence of so-called moral principles.  A truly passionate overlord is indeed more impressive than a cold and hypocritical king, but the only one who can be relied upon and truly allow his subordinates to enjoy the fruits of victory is the king.  "

    When Wanyan Yunhua said this, a strange expression appeared on her face and she hesitated to continue.

    Hala was a little unsure and asked tentatively: "Don't we want to surrender to the Song Dynasty?"

    "No, on the contrary, I decided to completely surrender to Zhao Yun." Wanyan Yunhua paused, her tone was filled with disappointment and excitement, "Because he is about to embark on the road to becoming a king, and we can be witnesses of this.  , and then achieve our goal.¡±

    Hala was dumbfounded, he really didn¡¯t understand what this meant.

    Wanyan Yunhua didn't mean to explain further. She looked at her confidant and said abruptly: "It's night, go to bed early."

    Before Hala could react, Wanyan Yunhua had already walked back to the room and disappeared from Hala's sight.
