Chapter 61 Decision

Maybe it was because Empress Qin had shown too much cherishment of her blood relatives before, and even Qin Bofu, who had doubts about his background, tolerated it, and forgave the Xue family who had turned his back on the Qin family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The key is that Canan made up another version of the "Empress's Last Words" in front of the emperor, making the emperor really think that the empress just wanted to win Qin Song more than two or three years. He didn't know that what Canan told Qin Bai was ten times as long. If Qin Bai only needs to suffer two or three years of grievances and has no worries about his life, this is definitely above the bottom line that Empress Qin can tolerate. Therefore, the emperor also believed that it was really possible that it was the idea of a dead wife. At that time, he was still a little weak-hearted, and felt that his wife might have noticed that he had the intention to kill Qin Song, so she would not hesitate to sacrifice Qin Bai and save Qin Song.

But Canaan's lies are more than that.

According to her, she did tell Qin Bai like this in accordance with Empress Qin's will. If Qin Bai was still the kind and simple young man he was back then, and he was dedicated to his sister, it was estimated that he would take the initiative to retreat as Queen Qin expected. When the time comes, if Canaan mentions those words for another two or three years, he will surely happily agree. Who knows, Qin Bai's temperament has changed greatly during the two or three years of exile, and for some reason, he seems to be very resentful of his eldest brother Qin Song. As soon as he heard Empress Qin's will, he saw through that she was only retreating as advance, with the purpose of sacrificing him and fulfilling Qin Song's rich future.

Qin Bai angrily reprimanded Ganan, who had no choice but to tell the truth, and took those two or three years to appease him. But at that time, Qin Bai was angry, and he didn't listen to it at all, but said angrily: "Since my sister is bent on protecting my eldest brother, don't mention those two or three years, I won't fight with my eldest brother, the head of the Qin family will leave it to my eldest brother to do it, I have been to live the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I have saved my sister from dying, so I have to do my best for my eldest brother and calculate my younger brother!"

Qin Bai was furious, turned around and left, ignoring even Empress Qin's funeral, and left the capital that day. Canan only felt that he had not done what the queen had ordered on her deathbed, so he returned to the palace "in a panic" and reported the matter to the emperor "truthfully".

The emperor really sent people out of the city to chase Qin Bai at that time. But the real Qin Bai had already rented a house in the city at that time, and settled down with the Niu family's master and servant and Mohu, how could the emperor's people find him outside the city?

The emperor only thought that Qin Bai was aware of Empress Qin's true intentions and was resentful, plus Qin Song was suspected of taking his wife, and concealed the truth about Qin Bai's return to Beijing, which made Qin Bai hate Qin Song even more, and hated even more hatred, so he would rather abandon his family and leave. In this way, Qin Bai's refusal to come back after two or three years proves that his resentment has not disappeared. The emperor felt guilty in his heart for making his deceased wife uneasy, and he felt that his deceased wife's actions were not good for his brother-in-law, and Qin Bai had no matter how much resentment he had, he could only bear it willingly, and he really tolerated it.

In this way, no one noticed how much Ganan lied in it. The emperor gave up tracking his brother-in-law Qin Bai, and waited for him to be angry, and at the same time, out of guilt for Empress Qin, he rewarded Qin Song a lot, but he was not allowed to really participate in court politics and have the opportunity to take power. Canaan's calculations seem to have been half the battle, except that she herself failed to become a concubine. She also calculated at that time that the third master Qin Bai was a trustworthy person, and since he believed that the queen really wanted him to leave for twenty or thirty years, then he would definitely not return to Beijing in advance. In this way, there is such a long time, which is enough for her to become a concubine, give birth to her own prince, raise an adult, and gain a firm foothold. The prince was born with a deficiency, and if there was a good one, her son would just make up for it. At that time, even if Qin Bai returns, confronts the emperor, and learns the truth, she will also have a talisman, full of wings, and she can keep her wealth and peace.

She just didn't expect that she hadn't been able to attract the emperor to look at her more for thirty years. Her calculations and thoughts, in the end, only fulfilled Qin Song's wealth and honor, but it did not do her much good. In the end, she also made a plan in vain and gave her life in vain.

The emperor still remembered it, and he still hated Ganan so much: "Who would have thought that would have such an unsightly mind?! She has been loyal to me and your sister in the East Palace for several years, and I only regard her as a truly trustworthy person." Even if she did something foolish later, I thought she saw that I was close to the harem, and the harem princess was pregnant, and if she gave birth to a little prince, it would be unfavorable to the prince, so she planned to recommend herself to the pillow and wanted to share the favor of the princess. I thought she was loyal, and I didn't blame her, how did I think she was so bold? She is only dying now, it is really cheap for her! She has enjoyed all these years in the East Palace. The prince has always remembered her nurturing grace, knowing that her sins are unforgivable, but he still has to be sad for her, and the old illness has relapsed. ”

Qin Bai hurriedly asked: "I heard that the prince is not good, I don't know what is going on now?"

The emperor's expression was relieved: "After the weather has warmed up, there has been an improvement. This is an old disease, and when the climate is cold in winter, it will relapse if he is not careful. Fortunately, the doctor is effective, and now there is no major problem, and he only needs to recuperate. ”

Only then did Qin Bai put his mind at ease.

The emperor confessed to him again: "Speaking of which, it was all my negligence. Canaan said that after two or three years, you have not heard from you and have not returned to Beijing, so I should send someone to pick you up. Even if I believe what Canaan said, thinking that your sister is just asking you to back down for two or three years, I shouldn't be waiting for you to come back after three years. I thought you were so angry that you wouldn't forgive your sister, so I was embarrassed to look for you. Thinking that as long as your life is going well, it will be the same in the court and in the opposition, so I still don't bother your good. General Ma was stationed in Yulin City at that time, he was a veteran I trusted very much, and I gave him a secret decree to find out your whereabouts, and then secretly protect you, but not to alarm you......"

Qin Bai was surprised: "Old General Ma?! It turned out to be him, me, and ...... I didn't know that he had come by the emperor's secret order, and I thought he really liked antique calligraphy and painting......"

Qin Bai didn't know General Ma Lao before, when he was working as a partner in the Treasure Pavilion, he met General Ma Lao to buy antiques, he followed Lao Li's shopkeeper to Yulin City, and only then did he meet the other party. It is estimated that General Ma Lao finally found his whereabouts, so he used this as an excuse to meet him. After that transaction, the General's Mansion took care of him several businesses one after another, all of which directly found him and made him a lot of income. Later, he married the Niu family and no longer worked in the Treasure Pavilion, and General Ma Lao also invited him to come over from time to time, let him palm, identify some strange so-called antiques, and every time there was a good reward. has the face of the General's Mansion, and everyone treats him politely. He opened a school at home to teach students, and the old general ordered the housekeeper to send congratulatory gifts......

It turned out that General Ma Lao was acting on the emperor's secret order, so it was no wonder that he was taken care of everywhere.

Qin Bai sighed: "The old general is really not thin on me, and later he was transferred out of Yulin and replaced by his nephew General Ma, and General Ma also took good care of my two sons." In the past few decades in the border city, everything has gone smoothly and I have not encountered any difficulties, thanks to the care of the General's Mansion. ”

The emperor said in a low voice: "There is a mess in the north, I have to transfer General Ma Lao, although his nephew stayed in the northwest, he probably doesn't know your identity, just take care of it every day." Later, Qin Ping and Qin An's two children joined the army, and it was a time when there were many events in Beijing, so I didn't know about it. It wasn't until I saw Qin Ping that I knew that he hadn't been promoted for many years, and he almost lost his life outside Yulin City. ”

He felt guilty again. Because Qin Bai has always shown that he doesn't want to return to Beijing, he thinks that his brother-in-law is still resentful, so he can only let Qin Bai live his own small life. Anyway, at that time, Qin Bai's life was smooth, he had no shortage of food and clothing, and he was rich, and he became the leading teacher in Mizhi County, and he seemed to be very happy. The emperor did not force him to come back. At that time, the prince was born to the emperor's poor health, and the prince also fell ill, followed by the death of the emperor's grandson, and the prince of Jin entered Beijing to seek succession. The emperor had to take care of his son while guarding against the clan, and at the same time deal with the government affairs, so he lacked skills, so he paid less attention to Qin Bai. When General Ma was also transferred out of Yulin and went to Datong, the news about Qin Bai was gradually cut off.

After the emperor knew about Canaan's lies, he remembered countless times that if he had been cheeky back then, don't think too much, and directly sent someone to recall Qin Bai back to the capital, maybe there would be no such things as later. But because of his thoughts, his brother-in-law has been wronged for many years, and he has also been kept in the dark by a palace maid, and he feels angry in his heart when he thinks of it, and even more apologetic. Qin Bai finally returned to Beijing, he had long wanted to see him, but when he thought of this kind of inside story, he felt that he had no face to see his brother-in-law. Qin Bai was also deceived, if he knew that it was the emperor's brother-in-law's negligence that caused all this, would he forgive himself? The more he thought about it, the more he didn't dare to see it. The emperor did not issue an order to summon Qin Bai into the palace for a long time, and they all came because of this.

After hearing this, Qin Bai sighed and said to the emperor sincerely: "The emperor is serious. The emperor has also been deceived by others, so where is there any fault? I have been deceived and deceived by Ganan's lies, and I have not seen through it for 30 years, so how dare I blame the emperor for not seeing through it? The emperor cares about all the people and takes care of all opportunities, so what is my little thing?"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes turned red again. He held Qin Bai's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely get it back for you for the grievances you have suffered! Canaan is dead, and Qin Song is still there." I will never make him feel better! Your sister's real last words on her deathbed are to let you be in charge of the Qin family. Now that the truth has been revealed, it's time to fulfill your sister's last words. You've missed so much in the last 30 years, you can't miss it anymore!"

Qin Bai was stunned and was about to speak, but the emperor stopped him: "You don't have to say more, I know what you have to say." However, the state has a national law, and I can't forget the national law because of personal feelings, and I have repeatedly indulged Qin Song, making him wrong again and again. If you intercede for him, he will not think of your good, but will have a grudge in his heart. What do you care about such a person who doesn't know what to do? I have made up my mind, you just have to take the order. ”

The emperor's use of the self-title "I" again is enough to show his attitude. Qin Bai couldn't help but hesitate.

The emperor advised him again: "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your children and grandchildren." You have seen the wealth and nobility of the Chengenhou Mansion, and then think about what kind of life you have lived in the northwest in the past 30 years? How much has Qin Ping and Qin An suffered? And your eldest daughter-in-law, if she was in the Chengenhou Mansion, how could she have ended up unjustly dead? Wouldn't you have half of the grievances of your children and grandchildren?"

Qin Bai was silent, and his mood became a little complicated. (To be continued.) )
