She was wearing a light yellow dress, which made her look more elegant and intellectual.
After dinner, Xu Qi ‘an was invited to Xu Erlang’s study.
Unconsciously, the two of them had started to avoid second uncle Xu when discussing important matters. It was not like when they had dealt with the assistant Minister of Revenue Zhou Xianping, where the three of them had discussed together.
The two brothers felt that this was pretty good. Second uncle was not good at scheming, and the more he knew, the easier it was for him to be distressed.
As an elder, he was thinking about how to solve the problem, not waiting for his nephew and son to solve it.
It was the instinct of every elder to shelter their children from the wind and rain. However, second uncle Xu was not good at this, so it would only add to his troubles.
In the east wing.
Second uncle Xu sat at the table, sipped his tea, and sighed. “You two bastards, you’re already looking down on me.”
An aunt in a thin white dress sat cross-legged on the bed, playing with her jade bangle, and asked, “”What do you mean?”
Her legs were well-proportioned and slender, and when they were crossed together, she was quite a feast for the eyes.
Al, something big has happened in Chu Zhou. Hundreds of officials are causing trouble in the Imperial City today. The news is spreading like wildfire. Second uncle Xu frowned.
“What is it?” His aunt asked curiously.
“She’s just a woman, why do you care so much?” Second uncle Xu glared at her.
Just like how the two brothers didn’t want second uncle Xu to worry, second uncle Xu didn’t want his wife to worry for nothing. For a woman like her who thought she was in her Prime, it was enough to just give her peace and happiness.
“Big brother, you still haven’t told me the details of what happened in the Chu Prefecture city.”
In the study, Xu Erlang was sitting by the coffee table with a cup of strong tea.
Xu Qi ‘an stood by the window and looked at the dark and quiet courtyard. He said slowly, “”The Chu Zhou case is far more complicated than you think.
He calmly recounted his journey north to Xu cijiu, bit by bit, including his sympathy with Zheng bu and the sight of the massacre in Chu Prefecture city.
His tone was so calm, so calm that he didn’t dare to have the slightest fluctuation.
Great sorrow without tears.
so, so he was also involved …
Xu niannian said in a daze. In his heart, the little bit of loyalty to the Emperor collapsed, not leaving a single bit.
the purpose of the diplomatic mission’s return to the capital this time is to announce North vanquishing Prince’s crimes to the world. Heh, Lord Zheng will not allow a beast like North vanquishing Prince to be buried as a Prince and pass down his title as the divine general of the nation to future generations. Xu Qi ‘an sneered.
Scholars paid the most attention to their reputation. If they could not convict North vanquishing Prince, in Zheng xinghuai’s view, this was an unsuccessful revenge and not justice for the people of Chu Prefecture city.
“How do you think we should fight this” war “?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“You guys are already doing it.” even the Emperor can’t stop the public’s turbulent emotions, ” Xu niannian said. he’s threatening Emperor yuanjing with his power. Didn’t he agree to meet chief advisor Wang? let’s see what the result is tomorrow.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t help much with the matters of the Imperial court. It doesn’t feel good to place my hopes on others.” Xu Qi ‘an sighed.
big brother, you’ve already done enough ..
Xu nianxin was about to comfort him when he suddenly frowned. After a long pause, his face slowly turned serious.”Big brother, the situation doesn’t seem right.”
Xu Qi ‘an turned around and looked at him.
according to what you said, ” Xu niannian said in a low voice, ” if this case is a plot between Emperor yuanjing and King Huai, then the plan of the diplomatic mission to catch him off guard has failed from the beginning.
“Don’t forget that que Yongxiu escaped, and so did the North-guarding King’s secret agent. Would these people not send the news of the death of the North vanquishing Prince back to the capital? Perhaps he had already received the news in advance when you were all smug.
“Then, Emperor Yuan jing must have thought of a way to deal with it. Don’t doubt that our Emperor has been playing with power for so many years. If he were to get serious, I’m afraid that neither Duke of Wei nor chief advisor Wang would be his match.”
“You reminded me. It is indeed so.” Xu Oi ‘an turned around and faced the dark
courtyard, not saying anything more.
Xu Qi ‘an knew that the Imperial court was not his home ground. First of all, a political struggle was not about solving a case, and it was not something that could be solved with a smart brain. Those who could fight their way out of the imperial examination were all smart people.
However, there were so many people who rose and fell every year.
Xu Qi ‘an was not arrogant enough to think that he could fight Emperor Yuan jing for 300 rounds in the Imperial court.
Secondly, his official position was still a bit low. He didn’t even have the chance to attend court, which meant that he didn’t have the right to go to the “front line.”
therefore, this time, the position of the main force will be given to Duke of Wei, envoy Zheng, and those who seek fame and profit, or those who still have justice in their hearts … However, I can still work outside the game.”
Stargazing tower, Eight Trigrams stage.
A supervisor with white hair and a white beard stood at the edge of the eight trigrams stage with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the entire capital.
The night wind ruffled his clothes and touched his white beard. He looked like an immortal.
I heard that North vanquishing Prince died in the Northern Territory.
A deep voice rang out. The tone was low and calm, like a conversation between old friends, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
A white-robed figure appeared behind the supervisor.
It was the great act tough King, yang qianhuan.
The master and disciple stood back to back with their hands behind their backs, both dressed in snow-white clothes. It was hard to tell who was better.
The supervisor grunted and smiled, “Some people are so happy that they wake up from their sleep.”
Was the teacher Wei Yuan or someone else … Yang qianhuan mumbled to herself, but her tone was still as indifferent as ever. She mimicked the supervisor and replied with an “mm..”
