In the vestibule. Gong Chengqi is waiting for the prime minister. Prime Minister Shangguan hurriedly walked to the front hall, and when he saw Gong Chengqi's brows, he couldn't help but ask.

"How come Gong Gongzi has time to visit me, an old man, today?"

Facing Prime Minister Shangguan, Gong Chengqi remembered what Qin Hai said to him, once Prime Minister Shangguan also led a group of honest civil officials to kneel under His Royal Highness Huangji to intercede for their parents.

From this point of view, Shangguan Cheng also has kindness to his family.

"The prime minister is polite, this time the younger generation came to visit rashly, just to ask about a past event. I also hope that the Prime Minister will tell the truth. ”

"If you have anything to say, you don't have to be formal, just ask." At this moment, Prime Minister Shangguan has not yet reacted, what question does he want to ask.

"Dare to ask the prime minister, can the prime minister know the truth behind King Yi's death?"

Hearing Gong Chengqi's question, especially when he heard the word King Yi, Prime Minister Shangguan's expression stiffened slightly, such an old matter, he didn't expect that someone would bring it up again in front of him one day.

"That was more than a decade ago. I can't remember it clearly, I don't know why Gong Gongzi suddenly remembered to ask about it? ”

At that time, this matter was in a lot of trouble in the capital, but it was about the first emperor. The matter was quickly suppressed, and no one dared to mention it again. Especially after the first emperor and the chief of the internal affairs department died one after another, the new emperor succeeded to the throne. This matter is like being covered with an old thick cloth, and after so many years, almost everyone has almost forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, someone will mention it again in front of him now.

It's just that this matter is very old, and it stands to reason that a young man like Gong Chengqi shouldn't know about it, why did he ask this question today, could it be that he was also related to this case back then?

"Your Excellency. Tell the truth. Someone told me today. I am the descendant of His Royal Highness King Yi. ”

When the first emperor arrested people, he did not find the only son of His Royal Highness King Yi in the palace, but it was rumored that the only son of His Royal Highness King Yi was weak since he was a child, and then he was sent to a temple outside the city to recuperate, and His Royal Highness King Yi was sent to prison after being sent to prison. His Royal Highness had no one to take care of him, and he contracted a cold in the temple, and he died soon after there was no doctor in the medicine stone.

Could it be that this rumor was false back then, His Royal Highness did not die, but was carefully protected by His Royal Highness King Yi.

His Royal Highness King Yi is extremely intelligent, and he must have predicted that his family would be ruined one day before the catastrophe came, so in order to protect his only child, he quietly sent him out of Beijing.

"Are you really the descendant of His Royal Highness King Yi?"

"The younger generation can't be sure about this matter, so I specially came to find the prime minister, hoping that the adult can tell the younger generation why the parents of the younger generation died."

Looking at Prime Minister Shangguan's expression, Gong Chengqi was already convinced in his heart that what Qin Hai said was the truth.

Just in case, he still had to listen to the Prime Minister personally tell the real cause of his parents' deaths.

Others may lie to him, but he believes that Prime Minister Shangguan will not lie to him.

"Your parents...... Speaking of which, there were also my faults back then. At that time, I knew that the first emperor wanted to find an excuse to cure your parents' sins, and the first emperor would teach your father the task of refining fireworks at the ceremony, although I had doubts, but I naively thought that it was just a fireworks ceremony, and nothing big would happen, so I didn't stop the first emperor, but I didn't expect that something happened in the end, and the fireworks exploded. Mars accidentally injured the first emperor, and the first emperor thought that His Royal Highness King Yi intended to rebel against the usurpation of the throne and put your parents in prison, plus at that time, the chief administrator of the Immortal Emperor's henchman Internal Affairs Office had always had a grudge against your father, and had been openly and secretly trying to treat your parents to death, I and the officials naturally knew that your father was not guilty, but no matter how we pleaded, the first emperor just refused to let go, so to speak, your father was convicted by the first emperor, until he was seriously ill and died, I also have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"Your Excellency is saying this. My parents were really killed by the former emperor and the head of the internal affairs department. "I didn't expect what Qin Hai said to be true, he was not the orphan of the palace lord, but the child who was sent to the bandit village by his father and mother.

"The first emperor was suspicious by nature and did not know people clearly. If you mistakenly believe the nonsense of the chief administrator, you will be more suspicious of your father, this matter has always been a regrettable, I think it is the retribution of heaven, but less than two years after your father's death, the first emperor and the chief of the internal affairs office both died of illness, and the matter was completely overturned. ”

Now that the people related to the events of that year have all passed away, it is better to simply let it be sealed in the past, after so many years, if it weren't for the only son of His Royal Highness King Yi to ask the truth, he didn't think he would mention it again in his life.

"The matter has not been turned over. I am still alive in this world, and as long as I live, I will definitely rehabilitate my father and mother, and my father should never be charged with a certain anti-usurpation. When he arrived at the underworld, he was also reprimanded. ”

Prime Minister Shangguan frowned slightly, he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said. Now that he has told him the truth of the matter, I am afraid that he has hated the royal family at this moment, and if he can't find a chance to rehabilitate his father and mother, I am afraid that he will be resentful because of resentment.

"In this way, Your Royal Highness, you don't need to bother about this, if you can trust me, then leave this matter to me to deal with, and I will definitely give the Holy Lord to redress the grievances of His Royal Highness King Yi and his wife, and return them to a clean house."

Leave this matter to him, it is better to take it on himself. At the very least, he is still measured. And as a prime minister, the holy lord will also listen to the advice he says.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your trouble."

The expression on Gong Chengqi's face was not much moved, although he was grateful to Prime Minister Shangguan in his heart, he also knew that if he really wanted to correct his parents' name, it was not enough to rely on the Prime Minister to intercede in front of the saint.

He needs to do it his own way. to restore the innocence of his parents.

After Gong Chengqi said goodbye to the prime minister, he left the prime minister's mansion in a hurry. Just about to go back to Taixue, when he walked to a remote alley, he was stopped by several people.

"What do you want to do?" Gong Chengqi's expression was cold, and the fist hanging by his side clenched hard.

"Don't be nervous, my family has heard about Childe's background. It's a pity. If you are willing to cooperate, please go with us. ”

Gong Chengqi looked at the dress of these people, they should be the family members in the palace of a certain minister, they don't talk and act like ordinary family members, they should be professionally trained family members, and they have a good martial arts foundation.
