Sometimes Shen Liang really feels that he is a crow's mouth, as soon as he says a quasi-child, Qin Yuntian is really not a patient person, when the husband and husband rode back to the imperial city together, they received urgent news from Yuan Shao, someone is spreading the rumor that the third prince of the Wei State is Fu Yunxi, the lord of the six heads of the year, and Xie Jiayan's eldest grandson Xie Yan is his third prince concubine, fortunately, they have long been guarded and quietly killed those who spread rumors, plus the Wei family has just left, the people are still immersed in the mood of farewell to them, and have no intention of paying attention to other things for the time being, This matter has not yet spread, but they can contain it for a while, but they can't stop it for a lifetime, it is impossible to stop it exactly every time, or it is necessary to solve the root cause as soon as possible.
Pei Yuanxian Fufu visited Xie Ge's old mansion together, and the matter soon reached the ears of relevant people, everyone couldn't help but mutter, how could Qingping Wang Fufu, who had been silent for more than three years, suddenly become high-profile, and still after the Wei family left, everyone with discerning eyes knew that without the protection of the Wei family, the emperor was bound to trouble them, they were not honest, so high-profile, really not afraid of the emperor finding fault?
Pavilion old mansion Xie family, Qingping Wang Fufu visited, waiting at home Xie Ge Lao personally welcomed them into the study, Xie Yan left for almost five years, they basically have no contact, only occasionally Shen Liang will let the Nether Dark Guard quietly inform him of Xie Yan's situation in the Wei Kingdom, now they come to the door in person regardless of the emperor's possible suspicions and the suspicions of the princes and princes, Xie Ge Lao is not stupid, knowing that they must have important things to discuss.
"The two of you came in person, but what's the matter?"
After a short period of courtesy, Elder Xie Ge directly cut to the theme, their identities are not ordinary, the longer Pei Yuanxian Fufu stays in the Pavilion Old Mansion, the easier it is to attract unnecessary trouble.
Pei Yuanxian turned his head to look at Shen Liang, with an expression handed over to him, Shen Liang shook his head helplessly, and his expression was already serious when he raised his head to Elder Xie Ge: "In this case, the junior is not welcome, Elder Xie Ge, on the court that day, Elder Zeng Ge and the Fifth Prince beat my Nether Secret Guard's idea, you stood up and ruined their good deeds, you should remember this matter, right?"
"Well, could it be that they..."
What happened just two days ago, how did he not remember? After Elder Xie Ge nodded, he immediately realized something, his pupils suddenly dilated, Lao Zeng and His Royal Highness Fifth Highness were really so ruthless?
"Well, when we returned to the city, we just received news that someone was spreading rumors that Yunxi was the third prince of the Wei Kingdom, and Xie Yan was already the third prince's concubine three years ago, this matter is extremely secretive, not many people know, my people checked by the way, and the person who spread the rumor is the fifth prince Qin Yuntian."
Knowing that he had already guessed something, Shen Liang did not play dumb with him, and said the news he had already mastered here.
"......"
Elder Xie Ge closed his eyes sadly, the old man had been friends with him for decades, he was an official in the same dynasty, and it was common for political opinions to disagree, he really didn't expect it, just because he was opposed to finding the princess to use the Nether Secret Guard to escort grain and grass military supplies, he would have done such a poisonous hand to him, back then he was optimistic about Fu Yunxi, and tried to save his life when he was framed, and all kinds of promotions were known to the Manchu Dynasty, plus Yan'er was his third prince and concubine, if these two things spread, even if he had announced three years ago that Yan'er would be expelled from the Xie family, The Xie family's life will not be good, with his understanding of Lao Zeng, maybe he will make up a crime that he secretly colluded with the Wei Kingdom, and at that time, the Xie family is afraid that it will end up with a full house.
"Elder Ge has a countermeasure?"
Shen Liang asked tentatively after a while, as for the stakes, he believed that with the shrewdness and experience of the pavilion elder, he did not need him to analyze him a little bit, what he wanted to know was what he was going to do, so that he knew how to assist them.
"Countermeasures?"
Elder Xie Ge snorted a little gaffe, and an old face was full of bitter smiles: "What if there is a countermeasure?" What if not? The two must have also seen what the current Daqin world looks like, even if they survive this crisis, who can guarantee that there will be no next time? Even if it really doesn't, the old man doesn't want to see Daqin Jiangshan go down little by little, and finally be swallowed by the neighboring whale that is looking at the tiger, since the imperial court can no longer tolerate me as an old thing, tomorrow morning I will ask the old man to return home.
This approach is undoubtedly quite negative, in other words, a few years ago, he would never have done it, but now, he really feels tired, throughout the ages, history books often record, serving the country has no way to be rewarded, now, he also deeply understands the weight of these eight words, he has a heart to benefit the people, willing to contribute everything to the people, until he swallows his last breath, but the monarch is mediocre, the prince only knows infighting, full of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods , Even the colleagues who had been cited as confidants have changed their appearance, how can he serve the imperial court with the power of himself alone? How to benefit the people?
"Elder Ge has worked hard!"
The husband and wife looked at each other, stood up and bowed in unison, if it was not completely chilled, why was a generation of old ministers so discouraged?
"You guys..."
Old Xie Ge's eyes are hot and humid, so, enough!
"Elder Ge has thought about it, you are willing to give up, people may not be willing, now that you are still in a high position, they dare to beat your idea, once you resign your official position and return to the ordinary people, it is even easier for them to kill the Xie family, not afraid of 10,000 just in case!"
After sitting down again, Shen Liang said with a serious expression, unless he had a way to disappear out of thin air, it would be easy for Qin Yuntian to make a bloody case that was ransacked by bandits on their way home.
"..."
As soon as he said it, Elder Xie Ge also realized this problem, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled tighter, before he only felt discouraged, and did not think so much, now that he thinks about it, his resignation from the official position is undoubtedly more appetite for them, no matter what he does, it seems that it is difficult to keep the Xie family again, can he really only use the Xie family to fight with them to break the net?
"Elder Ge, Xie Yan's things can't be changed, but you already announced to the world four or five years ago and expelled him from the house, even if the people know that he is now the third prince of the Wei Kingdom, the Xie family will only suffer some gossip at most, and it will not hurt your roots, there are two things that are more troublesome now, the first is that you were extremely optimistic about Yunxi back then, and you also tried to save his life, combined with Xie Yan's things, it is difficult not to make people think about it, and then it is, Elder Zeng Ge is not stupid, they must know that it is impossible to bring you down by this alone, so they will definitely forge a criminal evidence that you have colluded with the Wei State earlier, the emperor is faint, and because of Xie Yan's destiny, he has separated from you, even if he knows that someone deliberately harms you, he will definitely choose to believe that at that time, the Xie family will not be able to run away.
This kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly, if you meet the Ming Jun, it is better to say, but the current emperor... Therefore, even if he does not resign, the fate of the Xie family is doomed, at most, it will cause a little damage to the fifth prince's party, and it will not help.
"What the princess said is that now the old man doesn't know how to be good for a while, thank you Princess Wang Ye for coming to remind me today."
The stakes were high, it was difficult for Elder Xie Ge to make a decision for a while, and he was not in the mood to consult with them, and the eviction order was very obvious, and he needed to be alone and quiet.
"Elder Xie Ge, what if I say, can I keep the Xie family full?"
With their shrewdness, how could they not hear the deep meaning of his words? But Shen Liang did not pay attention to it, it was impossible for anyone to calm down when they encountered this kind of thing, he could understand.
"Seriously?"
Xie Ge was stunned, his eyes were intertwined with surprise and doubt, he knew a thing or two about Qingping Wang Fufu's ability, but in such a short period of time, he still didn't dare to expect that they already had a way.
"Hmm."
Nodding at his gaze, Shen Liang threw Pei Yuanxian a look, who was aware of it, and took out a piece of jade from the inner pocket of his clothes and handed it to him: "Can Elder Ge know this thing?"
"This is..."
Taking the jade pei suspiciously, Elder Xie Ge looked over and over with his eyesSuddenly rounded his eyes: "How do you have this thing?"
This is the item worn by the first prince back then, it was given by Emperor Gaozu when he was born, and there is also the name of the first prince carved by Emperor Gaozu himself, and no one can imitate this piece in the whole world.
"It's a relic of my father!"
Facing his wide-eyed eyes, Pei Yuanxian had a rare seriousness, when his father and king hurriedly let Lao Lin take him away, he casually ripped off this object and stuffed it into his hand, and then the East Palace was burned and drowned in the fire, which also became the only relic left to him by his father.
"What? Then you are..."
Imperial eldest grandson Qin Yunxian?!
Elder Xie Ge stood up with a snort, the Emperor Changsun was still alive? And all the time under their noses? The eyebrows that looked carefully were indeed somewhat similar to the first prince and the crown princess, why hadn't they noticed it before? No, it's not that he didn't notice it, the main old princess Qingping is a royal princess, and the first prince is also a brother and sister, they all say that the nephew is like an uncle, even if he looks a little like the first prince, no one will suspect, after all, the old king Qingping protected him with his life, and the iron-armored guard only listened to his orders, who would suspect that he was not the real Pei Yuanxi?
"Yes."
Since he has already taken out the evidence, it is impossible for Pei Yuanxian to deny that this identity will not be hidden for a long time, and it will soon be known to the world.
"The sky has eyes, the blood of the first prince still exists!"
After receiving his confirmation, Elder Xie Ge couldn't help but burst into tears, for these honest ministers, the death of the first prince has undoubtedly been a pain that cannot be healed in their hearts, and now that he knows that his bloodline is still alive, can he not be excited?
"The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun!"
Returning to his senses, Elder Xie Ge was about to kneel, and Pei Yuanxian quickly stretched out his hand to help him: "Elder Ge doesn't need to be polite, today I declare my identity, not what I need you to do, but I hope you can trust us, obey our arrangements, and keep the Xie family full of doors." Keeping the Xie family is not only for Xie Yan, but also for the sake of the world of Daqin, the emperor is incompetent, and has already killed too many loyal and patriotic courtiers, and he can no longer let Xie Ge Lao, an old minister who has dedicated his whole life to Daqin, fall to the end of the late festival and be beheaded.
"Yes, the old minister is too excited to make His Royal Highness Changsun laugh."
Realizing that he was indeed a little too excited, Elder Xie Ge wiped his tears, held the jade pei in both hands and handed it back to him: "Your Highness, please put this thing away, don't take it out casually, if you let the emperor or the crown prince know your true identity, they will kill you first even if they rack all their strength."
One country does not tolerate two kings, the first emperor did not abolish the first prince, the current emperor is because the prince died, the emperor died immediately after, and he ascended the throne by edict, if people know that the blood of the first prince still exists, coupled with the virtuous name that the first prince once accumulated in the minds of many old ministers and people and the mediocrity of the current emperor, there will be many people who support him as emperor in his name, and the emperor is absolutely impossible to allow him to continue to live.
