I agree with my son's statement in my heart, but I still can't tell the truth so bluntly in front of so many people, which will chill everyone's hearts.

"Wait a little longer and see if there are any clues, it would be good if there is no news all the time. In this way, the emperor will not make any moves, and it is possible that he will comfort and reward our Xu family. ”

The old prince frowned and said, put down the teacup, and he continued: "I can't talk about that step now, even if you reach that step, it's not something you can say as a father, I know what you think, it's too early to talk about it." ”

The old man sighed and said to everyone: "Everyone disperse, remember not to go out to make trouble for me during this time, if anyone causes trouble, don't blame my family law." Yinglong, Yingjie stays, well, heroes also stay. ”

The children and grandchildren who had never dared to come out of the atmosphere breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out one after another, the children and grandchildren were a little unhappy in their hearts, and they were secretly scolding Xu Ren in their hearts, blaming him for causing trouble.

"Father, if the emperor and the fifth princess want to dissolve the marriage contract, they can draw up an edict and easily solve it, why do you go to such great lengths? If you take into account the face of both parties, then you can also think of a way to solve it peacefully, even if you find some fault punishment for Ren'er, and dissolve the marriage contract by chance, so that you can save the face of the royal family and save Ren'er's life, wouldn't it be both? I have never understood why the emperor insisted on getting rid of him. ”

The second Xu Yingjie didn't understand it after thinking for a long time, so he opened his mouth to ask his father, the two brothers actually didn't understand it, and they also wanted to hear it.

"Emperor Long Xingtian has a dream, and that is to return to their Long family. He couldn't do it, so he pinned his hopes on the fifth princess, Long Yu'er. In fact, they also made another idea, that is, to use the beauty of the fifth princess to enter the family core step by step. Since he wanted to use such a method, how could he make the fifth princess's life experience flawed? Unfortunately, he was engaged to this genius fifth princess again, no matter whether he could cultivate or not, Ren'er's existence was a flaw in the fifth princess, and it must be removed. ”

"And Ren'er is very smart, just because he can't cultivate, but his intelligence is invisibly magnified by everyone many times. Therefore, the emperor should have some scruples, thinking that our Xu family, starting with martial arts, helping the Long family to lay down the country, and being able to sit firmly in the position of the prince, it is because the successive heads and people of our family are straightforward, scheming and loyal. That's why the Long family can rest assured that our Xu family has always existed for a long time. The old man looked at his three sons and sighed.

"Now that there is a Xu Ren in the Xu Mansion, he has a good mind, and coupled with the military power in our hands, this will make the Long family have infinite suspicion. The emperor will definitely strangle the danger in the cradle, so Ren'er should not have a good result this time. The old man continued.

Xu Ren's matter made the royal family and the palace like a fish in their throats, they couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, everyone was very sad, but there was really no way.

"Father, what if Ren'er comes back, what else will the emperor do?" Xu Yingjie showed a not very good expression on his face, and he looked at his father in a complicated way.

"Yes, what should we do if Ren'er comes back? Let the emperor persecute again? Although this nephew of mine is more wasteful, this is also the son and grandson of our Xu family. The reckless third Xu Hero stared at his eyes and shouted loudly.

Xu Yinglong glared at the third child, but Xu Yingying was unhappy.

"Why are you glaring at me? What I said is not reasonable? Then if the emperor looks at our family again and ignores the persecution, wouldn't it be very aggrieved? Still glaring at me? Okay, boss, let me ask you, if the emperor looks down on me one day, well, be more ruthless! The emperor will look at my old man one day unpleasantly, bah! You can't say that, yes, you, the emperor doesn't like you anymore, what should you do?"

Xu Yingying's words made the masters silent, and the third child was a little incoherent, but every word was on point. Yes, although the Xu family is loyal, they are persecuted regardless of it, and it is so straightforward that everyone is a little sad on the board. It doesn't matter if you give up a descendant who can't cultivate, but what if such a thing happens again in the future? Is it just a little threat to be eradicated? Then does the Xu family still want to develop? These questions gave the old prince and his sons a headache.

"No, the emperor doesn't dare to do things too much, after all, our Xu family has military power, and the emperor taboos us in power. Now that I think about it, even if Xu Ren comes back, the emperor will only let us deal with this matter by ourselves, which will only be worse, we can only deal with Xu Ren for the sake of the royal family, so that the emperor has not left any handle to solve this matter, which is the most terrible. The old prince analyzed, but when he thought of the consequences, he didn't sweat coldly.

"Isn't it easy for us to deal with it? Find a substitute for the dead and kill the thing. Xu Yingying felt that he was too smart and said his thoughts out loud.

"Shut up!" Xu Yinglong scolded loudly: "Do you think that the emperor has no eyeliner in the Xu Mansion? As long as we cheat, the emperor will know for the first time, and a big hat that has been prepared for a long time will be buckled on our heads, that is, bullying the king! ”

The old prince looked at his eldest son appreciatively.

"Yes, the crime of bullying the monarch is a perfect excuse for the emperor to get rid of our family, but if we kill Xu Ren, it will be even more terrible!"

"Father, why is it more terrifying? Isn't it that they have already fulfilled their wishes, how can it be more terrifying?" Xu Yingying felt that what his father and two elder brothers said was too mysterious, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he was confused.

"Alas. ”

The old prince hated iron and looked at his son, thinking that maybe the Xu family was all such people, and the emperor would rest assured. But how can people like Lao San make the Xu family's bloodline continue? It can only be regarded as a remnant, and it is impossible to say when it will disappear in the long river of history.

"As long as we kill Xu Ren, then we are guilty of a big taboo, you think, although Xu Ren can't cultivate, but he didn't make any mistakes, it's just that the emperor wants to get rid of him for his own interests. And if we really abandon and kill him in order to cater to the emperor, then all of us in the Xu family will feel precarious. Everyone will think like this, anyway, if something happens, the Xu family will not protect themselves, so don't want such a Xu family, this is the heart. Let everyone in the Xu family deviate from morality through this incident, and the hearts of a family are scattered, which is the most terrible. The old prince said what worries in his heart.

"Only if this evil animal dies outside, or lives but does not come back, will it be gone. Xu Yinglong sat there and looked at his melancholy father and brother and said hatefully.

"Yingjie, you arrange to intensify the search for all the news of Xu Ren, report it in time, this matter must be carried out in secret without revealing a trace of hindsight, and if you find Xu Ren, you will immediately notify him to leave, and those who assassinate him will not be forgiven. The old prince commanded in a deep voice.

In fact, what the old prince said in his heart just now was that he found out that Xu Ren was unforgiving, and when he said it, he felt that he was too hard-hearted, and he was afraid of hurting the hearts of his three sons, so he finally changed it to notify him to leave.

In the back house of King Xu's mansion, several ladies sat together and chatted, and sitting in the middle was a dignified and steady old lady, and several women sat next to her.

"Mei'er, what do you hear?"

The old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law next to her, Xu Yinglong's original partner Ning, also known as Ning Mei, who was deeply loved by the old lady, the mother of the eldest grandson Xu Tai, and there were two down-and-out girls next to her, that is, her two daughters Xu Ying and Xu Yu.

"Mother, now that my father and Yinglong don't show any news, I can't inquire. ”

After speaking, Ning glanced at the Xin family opposite, Xin's name is Xin Yue'e, she is Xu Yinglong's second wife, and Xu Ren is born to her. Xin lowered her head and looked at the silk silk in her hand with an indifferent expression, and the girl writhing in her arms was the youngest Xu Yue. Seeing Xin's appearance, the old lady and Ning were chilled, shook their heads and didn't say anything more.

"Forget it, we can only listen to it now, don't guess, that kid is auspicious, there will be no accidents. ”

Ning opened his mouth to comfort the old lady, but his heart was full of bad feelings. I remember that the child was just born, and the pink and white baby made everyone very happy. The eldest son Xu Tai was born by himself, and the second child Xu Ren has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and everyone loves both children.

From the time the child was found to be unable to cultivate and was defined as a wasted person, Ning witnessed the change of his entire fate, and the transformation made himself dumbfounded, this kind-hearted woman was glad that Xu Tai was not like that, and tried every means to help the child, but after all, she was soft-spoken, and in the end, she didn't help much.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old Prime Minister Ouyang Wende was stunned for a long time with a wine glass, and he was also very concerned about Xu Ren, not only because of his granddaughter, but also because he was very optimistic about the child. The people under his command just now reported that Xu Ren had disappeared for a long time, which made the old man very disappointed, he put the wine glass in his hand to his mouth and drank it all, put down the wine glass and sighed heavily.

"It's a pity!"

Old Madam Ouyang nodded.

"Leveling the world is the business of the warriors, and governing the country is the business of the literati. If everyone is good at martial arts, where can they still care about the governance of the country and ensure the peace and security of the country and the people? Governing the country requires people with flexible minds and smart minds, and Xu Ren, that young man, is one. ”

Looking at the old man of his family with a long sigh, Old Madam Ouyang knew that he and his granddaughter were very optimistic about the grandson of King Anping.

"I don't think you need to worry, I've seen him as a bright kid when he was a child. Although I haven't seen him when I grow up, you and Shu Yun have talked about him a lot, and most of the things you said are how he resolved the provocation of which son, and how he solved which difficult problem. It's Xiangwen and Xiangwu that the two boys haven't talked about him less, I don't think such a smart person will have an accident easily, let's wait and see. ”

When the old prime minister heard his wife's words, he pondered it carefully, and his mood eased a lot. How do you know that Old Madam Ouyang said this, but this woman who has been smart all her life doesn't think so in her heart, no matter how smart a person who can't cultivate, he can't escape the royal assassination, in this case, the chance of survival is almost minimal.
