Chapter 101: The Truth Left to Time

Shen Ming rushed to hear the news, at this time, Zhu Ping'an had already dismissed his subordinates, and asked Shi Quandou to go to rest first, after all, this person is old, he came from North Korea all the way, and suddenly saw the son of the old man, and under the agitation, he was already overwhelmed.

Zhu Ping'an knew that Guo Chai and his father must have an unknown story behind him, and he vaguely felt that this was the best opportunity to uncover the dusty past between himself and the Shen family and Wang Chengen, and therefore, he only left Shen Ke and Yin Shigang to accompany him.

When Shen Mingxin entered the house, Guo Chai's face was still white and scary, and when he saw Shen Mingxian hurrying over, tears suddenly rolled down again.

On the way to Shen Mingxian, he had already heard Shen Ke mention the news that Xiao Yuanteng and Shi Quandou came from North Korea today, and the whole person was extremely excited. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't care about meeting Zhu Ping'an, his lips were already trembling, and he finally suppressed his heart, and opened his mouth to ask Guo Chai, "But with the news of your father?" ”

Guo Chai nodded tearfully, "Exactly, God is pitiful, I finally got the news of my father." It turned out that he had already been martyred outside the gate in the seventh year of the Apocalypse......! ”

Rao is Shen Mingxian, like Guo Chai, already had the guess that the person was no longer alive in his heart, but at this time, he suddenly heard the bad news, Shen Mingxian was still like thunder, his body shook a few times, and he endured it and did not fall.

Zhu Ping'an glanced at Shen Ke, and Shen Ke hurriedly helped Shen Mingxian to the seat and sat down.

Shen Mingxian and Guo Chai were relatively speechless, and tears just poured down. After a long time, Shen Mingxian sighed, "Don't be sad anymore, now that we finally have the exact news, and we can be regarded as having an explanation for your mother who passed away because of this, we will send people to Liaodong to find out where your father's bones are buried in the future." ”

Guo Chai nodded tearfully, and the two noticed that Zhu Ping'an next to him had not spoken so far, so they apologized to Zhu Ping'an together.

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand indifferently, "Guo Chai's father is loyal to the country, and he is naturally a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty." It is a pity that God can have news this time. However, what made the official wonder was that Governor Zhao and Yang Tongzhi were both present just now, and they both served in the Ministry of War, so why had they never heard of the spy camp? Moreover, Shi Quandou and the others had stayed outside the gate for several years, why didn't they contact the relevant people and others to retreat outside the gate when the chaos changed in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, or contact the army to ask for support, but instead they were in all directions? ”

Zhu Ping'an stared at Guo Chai and Shen Mingxian in front of him, and looked at Shen Ke quietly, "Today, should you explain the matter of the Shen family to this official." What kind of relationship does this official have with the Shen family and the prince of ceremonies? To be honest, I don't like this feeling of being kept in the dark. ”

Guo Chai and Shen Ke's faces suddenly showed embarrassed looks, and they were a little speechless for a while. On the contrary, Shen Mingxian's expression was much calmer. He arched his hand at Zhu Ping'an, "Dashuai, in fact, this is also what the prince meant." It's just a matter of the past, and if the marshal knows it at this time, it will cause trouble. It's better to wait until the time is ripe to let us know. But today, since the marshal asked, the subordinates told the truth. ”

The words suddenly made Zhu Ping'an's heart fluctuate, and the palms of his hands were moist.

Shen Ming smoothed out his train of thought first, and then said slowly: "I think the big handsome has also guessed some. Guo Chai and Shen Ke are indeed members of my Shen family, and they have been following the prince all these years. The Shen family's property was also temporarily taken care of by his old man. This kind of soberness is also a helpless move, many changes have occurred in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the Shen family also suddenly fell down at that time. The head of the family died of illness, and the head of the family at that time, that is, Shen Qinghe, the son-in-law of the Shen family, also died in the chaos. On the night of the death of the first emperor, many people in the Shen family paid the price of their lives. ”

Shen Mingxian laughed self-deprecatingly, "People like me and others are all stealing their lives and picking up a life for nothing." The student who can only follow the old master, who is now the prince of the celebrant eunuch, all he wants and hopes for is to find the descendants of the Shen family and revitalize the family. ”

Zhu Ping'an interrupted Shen Mingxian's words, "This official is a little confused, aren't you and Shen Ke both from the Shen family?" Since the old family master has no heirs, why ...... choose the promising ones from your side branches to inherit? ”

"Dashuai doesn't know, although our surname is Shen, none of us are the real Shen family. Yixing Fengxian Hall was originally an inconspicuous branch of the Shen family, and the people were never prosperous. We were originally orphans without a father or mother, and some of them had original surnames, such as Guo Donglai, Guo Chai's father. But most of them have lost their surnames, so they can only follow the surname of the head of the family. For so many years, if it weren't for the grace of the Shen family, where would we have the present life, therefore, all of us have sworn in front of the prince and the spiritual throne of the old family lord that we must find the descendants of the Shen family, so that the Shen family will regain the lintel! ”

"So what does this have to do with this official? Is it ......? ”

"That's right!" Shen Mingxian stood up and gave Zhu Ping'an a deep look, "Da Shuai is the descendant of the Shen family that we are looking for!" ”

The corners of Zhu Ping'an's eyes jumped, "Isn't it because of the official's mother?" ”

Shen Mingxian nodded, "Exactly, the handsome Gao Tang is the descendant of the Shen family, and the youngest daughter of the old family master back then." However, since she was separated since she was a child, after succeeding to the throne, the prince finally found her in Nanyang Palace! ”

"The name of the handsome Gao Tang is Shen Qinghuan, who was abducted and trafficked to Nanyang since he was a child, and sold into the palace as a slave."

The previous speculations are now fused together little by little under Shen Mingxian's narration, and the image of the mother who was originally hazy in his mind has become clear little by little. From Zhu Yujian's mouth, Zhu Ping'an didn't get much description of his mother, but he could see that his mother retained a unique place in Zhu Yujian's heart.

Over the years, Zhu Yujian's clothes have changed many sets, but the belt around his waist has never been changed, because the belt was sewn by his mother back then, and the jade jue in the center of the belt, although it is not a precious thing, but Zhu Yujian always likes to rub it with his palm, maybe from these objects, he can also find some memories of the year.

Unconsciously, Zhu Ping'an's eyes became moist, but Shen Mingxian looked at Yin Shigang. This small action did not hide from Zhu Ping'an's eyes.

"What Shen Gong said freely is that Mr. Yin is not an outsider, and there is no need to hide the affairs of this official from him!"

After the prince found the handsome Gao Tang, he sent someone to persuade her to return to the capital, but at that time she had already deeply rooted her love for the Tang king, saying that the two would never abandon and stay together until they were old, and they were pregnant at that time. The prince had no choice but to give up temporarily, but he didn't expect that after giving birth to a handsome man, she would die. The prince was so sad that he had to secretly take care of the handsome father and son, hoping to leave a line of blood for the Shen family! ”

These words made Yin Shigang's heart chuckle, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Ping'an, only to suddenly find that the corners of Zhu Ping'an's eyes and eyebrows were very similar to Zhu Yujian. As soon as this thought came to his heart, Yin Shigang's heart suddenly beat wildly.

"Then Yao Shaoqin, Yao Gonggong and Mr. Mu, were they also arranged by the prince?"

Shen Mingxian nodded, "Yes, Yao Shaoqin and Yao Gonggong are the prince's friends in the palace, and they came to serve in the Tang Palace's mansion during the Wanli period, so the prince handed over the handsome mother and son to him to protect him." And Mr. Mu was entrusted by the prince to come to the palace to teach the handsome man, originally thinking that in a few years he would find an opportunity to take the handsome out of the palace and help the handsome to take a fame. Unexpectedly, the Tang Palace's palace was changed, and the marshal also followed the Tang King to Fengyang, the central capital. However, from these changes, the prince discovered the talent of the marshal in martial arts, so he found an opportunity to send Shen Ke and Guo Chai to his side one after another to assist and protect. As for the industry of Fengxiantang, it should have been owned by Dashuai, and the prince pushed the boat to plan the industry of Shandong under the command of Dashuai. ”

"What is the relationship between the prince and the Shen family, and why does he take such care of the Shen family?" Zhu Ping'an thought for a long time and put forward the biggest question in his heart.

Shen Mingxian smiled: "This subordinate is not very clear. I just knew that the prince was a student of the old family master back then, and he followed the old family master to learn Chinese hyphenation. and the eldest lady and Mr. Mu have known each other since childhood, so the friendship is irreversible, and the subordinates are probably thinking about this is also the reason, so the prince will treat the Shen family so kindly! ”

Shen Mingxian's words are equivalent to not saying them, and it seems that only Mu Yanzi and Wang Chengen themselves know this answer.

But there is an even bigger question at hand. Guo Chai's father, Guo Donglai, is a member of the Shen family, but why did he go outside the customs and have an official body, why did the people of the Shen family help the court do these things, isn't it strange that these actions of a businessman are strange.

But Shen Mingxian didn't know the reason for this. Shen Mingxian was just one of the many orphans adopted by the old family owner, and he only took care of the industry in Shandong on weekdays. Shen Mingxian naturally had no way of knowing what the Shen family did in Beijing, and even Guo Chai didn't know what the Shen family relied on to rise so quickly and disappear so quickly.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Guo Chai was still young, and Shen Mingxian only roughly knew that the Shen family was involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for the throne, and thus fell into a catastrophe, so what happened at that time? How did Shen Qinghe die? The two of them didn't know anything about this qiē, although they had secretly inquired during the period, but about the role played by the Shen family in it and the ins and outs of that time, it was as if someone had erased it from the paper, leaving no trace.

However, Guo Chai and Shen Mingxian knew that under the leadership of Shen Qinghe, the imperial court sent a large number of sentinels to infiltrate the customs with the Shen family's trade route as a channel, which was the origin of the spy battalion of the Ministry of War. But why Shen Qinghe did these things, and which powerful person in the imperial court joined forces to do this, no one knows. But obviously, these sentinels played a great role, and it was because of their efforts that the Ming army achieved two great victories in succession, and thus indirectly caused the Manchu Qing to change hands.

It seems that this aunt of hers is really a genius in the sky, and she has noticed the important role of spies in the Ming army. And to be able to operate such a thing single-handedly, can the Shen family's status in the Apocalypse period go straight to the center?

The mystery about the Shen family and Shen Qinghe still exists, but Wang Chengen and Mu Yanzi, who know the truth behind these things, are silent, because of what reason, Zhu Ping'an is puzzled.

Do you really want to leave time to uncover all these truths? R1152
