The officials dispersed, and the palace was busy, one was to prepare for Shi Hu's funeral, and the other was to prepare for Shi Shi's enthronement ceremony.

Before leaving, Shi Min remembered the inexplicable scratch on the back of Shi Shi's hand, judging from his experience, that scratch must be a new injury, definitely not an old injury. After thinking about it, a terrifying guess appeared in Shi Min's heart, so Shi Min quietly pulled Lu An aside and ordered in a low voice: "Let Imperial Doctor Zhang secretly check the cause of His Majesty's death again!" Incidentally...... Look at your majesty's fingernails to see if there's anything in them. ”

Lu An was stunned for a moment and asked, "Forgive the slave for talking too much, what does Childe mean by this?" ”

Shi Min thought for a while and said, "You don't have to worry so much, let's take a look first!" ”

Lu An nodded suspiciously, and responded: "Yes......"

"Don't make a noise about this matter, if you don't get it right, you're going to lose your head!" Shi Min asked.

"Understood!"

.......

After a few days, Shi Zhan finally settled in the ground, and Shi Min stood in front of the tombstone with the wolf rider and stood in the cold wind for a whole day. All the burdens of the Xihua Marquis Mansion finally fell on Shi Min's shoulders early, and for Shi Min, all this seemed too heavy.

But...... That's fate! Some people are born, their fate is arranged, and it is in vain for them to struggle and hesitate.

Back at the Hou Mansion, everyone's mood was a little low, Shi Min locked himself in the house and didn't see anyone.

Qin Huaishan came to Shi Min's door with a burden on his back, but was stopped by Zhang Mufeng.

"Sir, stay!" Zhang Mufeng said politely: "The young general is not seen by anyone now...... What are you? ”

Qin Huaishan sighed and said, "Little General, the old man is here to say goodbye to the young general!" Annoyance to report. ”

"Farewell? Where are you going? Zhang Mufeng asked suspiciously.

Qin Huaishan sighed deeply and said, "The little girl is missing, the old man has to look for her, otherwise...... The old man's heart is always restless! ”

"Sir, I'll go and pass it on."

Zhang Mufeng knocked lightly on the door, and then entered the house, and after a while, Shi Min walked out quickly and said to Qin Huaishan: "Sir, you want to leave?" ”

Qin Huaishan bowed respectfully and said: "These days, the old decay has caused trouble to the Xihua Marquis Mansion, thank you for the care of the general and the son, there is no feast in the world, it's time to say goodbye!" ”

Shi Min hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Qin Huaishan's arm, and said, "There is chaos outside, and it is freezing cold, and Mr. has nowhere to go, you ......"

"The old man is just this girl, and now his whereabouts are unknown, the old man is really relieved in his heart!" Qin Huaishan said, wiped away his tears again, patted Shi Min's hand, and said, "Let's go!" ”

After Qin Huaishan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Shi Min didn't dare to pull vigorously, for fear of hurting Qin Huaishan, so he hurriedly ran to Qin Huaishan and blocked his way.

"Sir, stay!" Shi Min saluted and said, "The world is so big, how can Mr. find out the whereabouts of Miss Qin?" ”

"Even if you can't find her, you can't help but look for her!" Qin Huaishan raised his head, looked at the gray sky, and said, "Old decay and Wan'er have relied on each other for many years, and no matter what, we can't let her be helpless. ”

Qin Huaishan said, suddenly quickened his pace and wanted to avoid Shi Min, but Shi Min knelt directly in front of Qin Huaishan, which startled everyone.

"General!" Zhang Mufeng and the others hurriedly stepped forward to pull Shi Min up.

"Go away!" Shi Min scolded everyone.

"Childe, what are you doing? I can't afford it! Qin Huaishan said, pulling Shi Min to get him up, but he couldn't pull it.

"Xihua Hou Mansion is ashamed of Mr., Miss Qin is nowhere to be found, I have broken my promise! I lost my husband's trust ......"

"Childe! Don't say that! You saved the lives of both our father and daughter......"

"Sir!" Shi Min interrupted Qin Huaishan's words, and said, "You leave the Xihua Marquis Mansion today, if Miss Qin comes back one day, and we can't find you, what should we do?" It's better for you to stay in the Hou Mansion, as for Miss Qin, I will send someone to continue to look for it!" Never give up! How is it? ”

"This ......"

At this time, Zhang Mufeng on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and comforted: "Mr. Qin, the young general has already knelt down for you, he is not worried about you leaving!" You just promise to stay in the Hou Mansion! ”

Qin Huaishan burst into tears, threw the burden on his shoulders on the ground, grabbed Shi Min's hand tightly, and said, "Young General! Thank you! ”

After speaking, Qin Huaishan "pounced" and knelt in front of Shi Min.

"Sir! Get up! Shi Min hurriedly helped Qin Huaishan up and said, "It's cold outside, let's go into the house and talk!" ”

Shi Min and Qin Huaishan sat opposite each other, Qin Huaishan rubbed his hands and couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this, Shi Min instructed Zhang Mufeng: "Go and get the brazier and charcoal!" ”

Qin Huaishan hurriedly waved his hand and shouted to Zhang Mufeng: "No need! It's much warmer in the house, and it won't be cold for a while! ”

Shi Min glanced at Zhang Mufeng and motioned for him to go, and Qin Huaishan said to Shi Min again: "Childe! It really doesn't have to be! The old body is quite tough, and he is not so afraid of the cold! ”

Shi Min smiled slightly and said, "That's it!" Then the gentleman will take a sip of hot tea! ”

Qin Huaishan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Now that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, the Zhao Kingdom is in ruins, what are the plans of the son?" ”

Shi Min shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it that much!" ”

"I heard that the tens of thousands of horses left by the general have returned to the Xihua Marquis Mansion, which is really a blessing in misfortune! In this way, the Xihua Marquis Mansion can still gain a firm foothold in the court. ”

"If this military power is lost, I am really ashamed of my father!" Shi Min sighed deeply.

"The general has done his best for the sake of the court! I hope that all these sacrifices can be exchanged for a stable life for the people of the Central Plains. ”

Shi Min nodded silently.

"Childe, the old man has a saying, let's talk about it." Qin Huaishan said suddenly.

"Sir, please speak!"

"Do you remember the letter I gave you when you came back from Handan?"

"Remember! Sir, don't you ......?"

"That's right! The old man still wants to talk about it......" Qin Huaishan interrupted Shi Min and said slowly: "The Hu people are the Hu people after all, they regard the Han people as alien races, like cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, but in fact, they are alien races!" ”

"Your Majesty today, that is, King Yan in the past, is a kind-hearted person, and he should be kind to the people, Mr. is more worried......"

"No!" Qin Huaishan waved his hand and said, "Childe only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other!" ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"This Zhao Kingdom belongs to His Majesty alone, but in the court, you and Your Majesty are not the only ones! Gongzi thought about it carefully, and looked around, how many Han people were there in the Manchu Dynasty? The real power is in the hands of the Hu people! Xihuahou Mansion can be described as standing out from the crowd! But often the tree is a big move! The old man believes that over the years, the general has been away all the year round, just because some people in the court have excluded him, and now that the general is gone, those people will also target you! ”

"What Mr. said is reasonable, but the Xihua Marquis Mansion is doing it right, and Your Majesty is not a faint king, and it is not easy to embarrass me!"

"I'm afraid that after a long time, Your Majesty will also have a grudge against you!" Qin Huaishan said, deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "After all, you have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands, and those are the most elite people and horses in Zhao State!" The credit of the Xihua Hou Mansion is too great, and the merit is high! ”

"But what Mr. means is to want the Xihua Marquis Mansion to support the army and stand on its own, this is a rebellion!"
