Zhao Hanyan said that his father was a loyal minister, and in order to protect the imperial power from being shaken, he voluntarily accepted his death and apologized to hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou and the world.

Su Shaoyuan said that his father had been guarding the north for 17 years, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake as delaying the military plane.

Now Qin Elegy says that his father left Liangzhou because of a false holy decree.

A few days ago, because of the affairs of Kangfu, Zhao Hanyan also said that after the fall of Liangzhou, his father was nowhere to be found, so he should have led people south to Xuanzhou Mansion at that time to lead Yelu Jilu away.

It also led to Kang Qirui's envoy group to negotiate with the Northern Liao, and all of them were killed.

Then, everything is clear.

As long as you find this person who is pretending to convey the holy decree, you can also find out the mastermind behind it.

Su Shaoyuan said that the forces behind this are huge.

Zhang Xiang didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now that he thinks about it, he really feels a chill down his spine.

He asked slowly, "Then your master, I don't know who did this?" ”

Qin Elegy shook his head: "Master has no contact with the imperial court, many things in the imperial court are what your father told to the master, the master was saved by your father back then, in order to be grateful, the master has been staying by your father's side as a personal guard to protect his safety, he has been with your father for eight years, and he has learned some skills to lead the troops to fight." After this incident, the master was charged with rebellion because he killed Pei Qing, the deputy general of the Zhending Army, and the imperial court never let him go. ”

"And in order to find out the truth of this matter and wash away your father's infamy as a traitor to the country, Master founded the Snow God Sect, and the more than 1,000 Beilu troops he brought and those of us who your father saved in Liangzhou also became sect members, and I also worshipped him as a teacher and learned martial arts from him. On the one hand, it is because it is convenient for the forces in the rivers and lakes to act, and on the other hand, it is also to hide people's eyes, and only the people in the court know that the master used to be your father's personal guard, and the people in the rivers and lakes do not know. ”

"Now, the Imperial Court Criminal Department and Taishi Chen Xun know the details of the master, and they are all staring at the master, as the master's rebel army, even if the truth is found, it will not be able to correct your father's name, and no one in the world will believe it, and now in this world, you are the only one who can justify your father's name, because you are not only the only descendant of General Zhang, but also the concubine of Princess Gaoping, the most important thing is that on the bright side, at least the emperor Zhao Yan will protect your integrity, and no one dares to touch you on the bright side."

Zhang Xiang exhaled, he understood the meaning of Qin Elegy.

Qin Elegy said: "Little Engong, do you know? Master has never seen you, he has only heard of you from your father's mouth, your father said, you are a fool, Master originally thought that this matter was hopeless, he felt that if you were really stupid, you would not be able to find out the truth, and if you were not careful, you would take your own life. But no matter what, Master still has to give it a try, after you and Princess Gaoping got married, he began to plan this matter, and then sent me and my senior brother to Pingzhou to contact you, he said, if you are really a fool, let us not bother you, let you spend this life in Pingzhou with peace of mind, these things will be left to him to figure out how to do, but if you are not a fool, just find an opportunity to tell you these things. ”

"The imperial court knows the details of the Snow God Sect, and the master is also very cautious, afraid that the people in the imperial court will know that we are coming to you and harm you, so I had to enter the Ning Xiangju and hide it as a woman in the Qinglou, while the senior brother is secretly protecting you. It's just that I didn't expect that the people in the court knew about it, and secretly sent someone to follow us all the way to Pingzhou, but fortunately, the master found out early, so we were prepared. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, someone had already come to Pingzhou, in Shili Temple, we killed four and escaped one, and the one who escaped was called Shi Guangshun, and the assassin who assassinated you last night was led by him. ”

"Until the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after Shi Guangshun was injured and escaped, my senior brother and I have been looking for him, but we haven't found it, we thought he wouldn't send the news back so quickly, but I didn't expect him to have a lot of means, assassinating you last night should be the intention of the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise, you are now a colt, no one will touch you unless you have to."

Zhang Xiang sneered: "Be a thief with a weak heart!" Afraid that I will investigate the truth is just a cover-up, and it will only make me more convinced that the fall of Liangzhou was a conspiracy to frame my father. ”

"Exactly." Qin Elegy nodded: "Since this person has already done something to you, then I won't have to worry about telling you these things." ”

Zhang Xiang smiled: "Actually, I already knew the strangeness of this matter, Mr. Su Shaoyuan Su told me some things about my father before, which made me suspicious, you tell me this time, I understand better." ”

"What are you going to do with the little Engong?" Qin Elegy asked.

"Intended?" Zhang Xiang shook his head: "Miss Qin, I will also tell you something, the princess told me that my father voluntarily asked the emperor for his guilt and death, so that I was saved, she told me the truth, and that's all she should know." When I was teaching at Huating Academy, Mr. Su told me, let me not investigate the truth of this matter, there is a very huge force behind this matter, this force affects the emperor and cannot protect my father, I go to this matter now, it is tantamount to asking for my own death. ”

"That..."Qin Elegy was speechless.

Zhang Xiang sighed softly: "Of course I won't care, I believe that there is justice in this world, since my father was framed, he fought a horse, guarded the north for 17 years, and after his death, he was infamous as a traitor to the country, as his son, how can this justice not be recovered for him?" It's just that I don't have any good ways for the time being, if I want to investigate these things, I have to go to the capital, but the emperor let me spend the rest of my life in Pingzhou, how dare I disobey his will now? ”

Qin Elegy nodded: "That's right, the emperor is also a means to protect you, I hope you won't be remembered." ”

"The emperor should know the truth." Zhang Xiang shook his head lightly, and suddenly sneered: "This imperial power is really more important than hundreds of thousands of lives in Liangzhou. ”

"Is this force enough to shake the foundations of the royal family?" Qin Elegy frowned.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing, after all, it has only been twenty years since the first emperor destroyed the former Chu dynasty, although today's Southern Chu appears to be a peaceful and prosperous era, but how many hidden dangers exist in the secret, it is not yet known, and it is normal for the royal foundation to be unstable." Zhang Xiang shook his head: "But no matter what, no matter how difficult this matter is, I will do it, Miss Qin, don't worry!" ”

Qin Elegy nodded trustingly: "Don't worry, Xiao Engong, even if no one helps you in this world, the Snow God Sect is behind you." ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Xiang said sincerely: "Thank you Master for me, only he has not forgotten my father." ”

"Master is in Mobei, if I have the opportunity, I will take Xiao Engong to Mobei to see Master, if Master sees Xiao Engong, he will be very happy."

"Actually, I'm pretty happy right now."

"Why?"

"Because I know that I am not alone, Miss Qin doesn't know, after I became suspicious about this matter at that time, I was alone, how powerless did I feel? Well... It's the feeling of throwing countless stones into the river without a single wave, and I don't even know how to face my current situation. ”

"We're here, you're not alone."

"Hmm." Zhang Xiang nodded and smiled, and suddenly said, "By the way, you just said that the Criminal Department and Taishi Chen are staring at the Snow God Sect, who is the most powerful person in the current imperial court?" ”

"It's Taishi Chen." Qin Elegy replied: "Taishi Chen is a veteran who followed the first emperor to start an incident, and he became the prime minister after the Southern Chu Dynasty, and the Purple Palace Pavilion was proposed by him to let the first emperor set up an auxiliary emperor. After the death of the first emperor, Zhao Yan succeeded to the throne, and now Nanchu can have such a prosperous era, which is also the basis for him to serve as prime minister to assist Zhao Yan for seven years. ”

"The power is tilted towards the opposition." Zhang Xiang said.

Qin Elegy nodded lightly: "So to speak, but Emperor Zhao Yan is also a ruthless character, and he grasps the imperial power very firmly, I heard that ten years ago, it was after Zhao Yan beat him, Chen Taishi withdrew from the phase by himself, and recommended Liu Zhen as the prime minister, after Chen Taishi retired from the prime minister, in the past ten years, Zhao Yan has basically caught the court in his own hands." ”

"If this Zhao Yan didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be able to polish the seventeen-year prosperity of Southern Chu." Zhang Xiang smiled faintly.

Because of Zhang Xiang's father, Qin Elegy can be said to have no good impression of the imperial court, and it is not taboo to call the emperor by his name.

Zhang Xiang is a modern person, so naturally there is no taboo.

He then said: "But even if this Zhao Yan uses ten years to level the most powerful Chen Taishi, but the dead camel is bigger than the horse, if this Chen Taishi wants to do something, the court will also turn the sky upside down." ”

Qin Elegy said: "I know what Xiao Engong means, does Xiao Engong suspect that your father's incident is masterminded by Taishi Chen?" ”

Zhang Xiang said: "I was suspicious from the beginning, after all, only the power of this Chen Taishi in this court can threaten the royal foundation, if he wants to kill my father, the emperor really can't protect it." ”

Qin Elegy shook his head: "What Xiao Engong thought, the master thought about it at the beginning, but Taishi Chen didn't have this motive, your father was recommended by Taishi Chen to guard the north, he said that only your father could fight the Northern Liao, and he was already in the position of Taishi, and he was powerful enough in the court, so there was no need to harm your father again." ”

"Others, such as the current prime minister, privy envoy, inspector envoy, six Shangshu, etc., Master has also analyzed, it can be said that all of them can be doubted, and all of them have no reason to doubt, in short, Master's meaning, anyone is possible, even the emperor, it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult to find out who framed your father."

"Let me be the enemy of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, your master really thinks my life is too long." Zhang Xiang smiled bitterly.

"No matter what Xiao Engong wants to do, Elegy will live and die with you, if it wasn't for Engong to save me from the city, Elegy would have died in Liangzhou City, and now Engong has returned, and the life of Elegy is Xiao Engong's."

"Miss Qin, don't call me Xiao Engong in the future, okay, it sounds weird." Zhang Xiang said suddenly.

"Then I call you Zhang Gongzi?"

"Zhang Gongzi is too angry, you can call me Ming Heng directly!"

"Then don't call me Miss Qin, it's weird, call me Elegy." Qin Elegy, this little Engong is not as difficult to get along with as he imagined.

"Okay, Elegy!" Zhang Xiang grinned, moved his arm, and pulled the wound, making him grin in pain.

For some reason, after learning that Qin Elegy had come to Pingzhou for him, he suddenly felt that Qin Elegy was extremely cordial, and this kind of kindness had not been given even to his princess wife.

Especially after Qin Elegy said the sentence of living and dying together just now, he felt that Qin Elegy was like his family.

Heh~ What an irony.

Sure enough, this person's heart needs to find support to feel down-to-earth.

Qin Wangge couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly rubbed his wound: "Your injury is not healed yet, don't move." ”

Then, while rubbing Zhang Xiang's wound to make him relax, she asked, "By the way, Ming Heng, then what are you going to do next?" ”

"Hmm..."Zhang Xiang thought for a moment: "Let's do this for the time being, and then it will naturally go to Beijing." ”

"When's that time?" Qin Elegy seemed to be in a hurry than him.

"Don't worry, there must be a suitable time and reason, otherwise the old emperor will know, I am not good at dealing with it, I am already doing this thing, if it goes well, I will soon be able to go to Beijing..."
