Chapter 281: Same Blood, Same Ancestry
Yes, Shi Quan is not only a cronie who has followed Xiao Ye for more than 20 years, but also the son of his third uncle, his cousin of the same clan and clan, whose real name should be Xiao Quan.
The Xiao family is a famous military general clan in Xiqiong, and Xiao Ye's grandfather is a general of the Zhuguo who is worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, and there is a marquis. Xiao Ye's father is a son-in-law, and although Xiao Ye's third uncle is a concubine, Xiao Laohou is also extremely loved.
However, in the second year of Xiao Ye's third uncle's marriage, because he seriously violated the clan rules, he was removed from the clan by Xiao Lao Hou Ye and driven out of the Xiao family.
Later, Xiao Ye's father inherited the marquis, and Xiao Ye, as the eldest son, was naturally regarded as the successor of the next marquis.
Although Xiao Ye hadn't seen Xiao Quan much, he also knew the existence of his younger brother, and he was pitiful that he was obviously of the same Xiao bloodline as himself, but he was outcast, so he secretly helped the third uncle's family.
Within a few years, Xiao Ye's third uncle died of depression, and his wife also hanged herself. Xiao Quan, as the only child of the third uncle, became an orphan overnight.
Xiao Ye really couldn't bear to fend for his cousin outside, so he found a place to place him in an inconspicuous military camp, and after ten years, Xiao Ye was already able to lead the troops alone, so he transferred his cousin back to his side and changed his name to Shi Quan, fortunately, he was also fighting for power in this place, and he was also famous in the military camp, so.
At that time, although Xiao Ye's father would see this Shi Quan by his son's side from time to time, but he had only seen the third brother's son in his early years, and he was only an infant child, after more than ten years, he naturally couldn't recognize who Shi Quan was, and Shi Quan's true identity was only known to Xiao Ye.
Therefore, no matter how cautious and cautious Xiao Ran is, even if someone has reminded Xiao Ye that this person is sometimes suspicious, Xiao Ye is always convinced, not only because he has followed his love for more than 20 years, but also because of their blood-related brothers.
However, on this day, reality gave Xiao Ye a slap in the face.
"Do you still want to deny it? Xiao Quan. ”
"Will ...... Brother ...... "Shi Quan knows that if Xiao Ye is not angry to the extreme, it will never be possible to talk about Shi Quan's true identity again, because he and Xiao Ye have reached a tacit understanding, and from now on, there is no Xiao Ye's cousin Xiao Quan in the world, only Shi Quan, Xiao Ye's cronies."
"You still know that I am your brother!"
Shi Quan shook his head while shaking his head: "No, brother, there must be a misunderstanding in this, someone framed me!" ”
"Huh." Xiao Ye sneered: "I really hope that someone wants to frame you, but my brother, you are too eager to ask for credit in front of Empress Dowager Xi." ”
"I didn't, I really didn't, what did the Queen Mother tell you today?"
"Today, the Queen Mother announced that I entered the palace to be loyal to her, otherwise I would not want to take a step out of Hyunyin City."
"What does that mean? There are so many people in your house, maybe who is the eyeliner of the Empress Dowager Xi, how can you be sure that it is me?! ”
"The Queen Mother hurriedly sent the eunuch surnamed He to announce my entry into the palace before dawn, and only you know that I went out of the city early this morning to return to the camp, before I was afraid of more trouble, so except for you, I told everyone else that I would go out of the city tomorrow, but I didn't expect that it was this trust in you that exposed you."
Shi Quan's eyes trembled, and he didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Ye anymore, as if he had given up the last struggle. He never expected that he would be exposed because of this.
"Why, in the past twenty years, I have treated you well, cultivated you, promoted you, and pointed out a glorious family affair for you, except that I can't let you return to the family tree, what other thing have I done to you?" Xiao Ye, who had endured it for a long time, finally began to have obvious emotions at this moment.
Facing Xiao Ye's angry questioning, Shi Quan actually smiled: "Heh, Xiao Ye, do you think that your mercy can make up for my pain for so many years?" I want respect, I want dignity! ”
"How am I not giving you dignity anymore? Your military rank and official position, your glory and wealth, are far more beautiful than those third-grade officials, what more do you want? ”
"This is you, forever so self-righteous, what about your official position, what about your money! In the eyes of others, I am just a dog next to you General Xiao! Shi Quan's face turned red, and his tone was full of resentment and unwillingness: "Why, they are all descendants of the Xiao family, you can rightfully inherit the title and enjoy the glory of the Xiao family, but I was expelled from the family from the time I was born, and my father and mother left me when I was seven years old, alone!" Why, your existence can continue to bring glory to the Xiao family, and my existence can only be a stain on the history of the Xiao family, and even now no one remembers my father's lineage! ”
Xiao Ye knew the grievances and loneliness in his cousin's heart, but the expulsion of the third uncle from the family was decided by his grandfather and the elders in the group, and he couldn't disobey it, so for so many years, he could only do his best to exercise power and secretly fulfill his brother's obligations, but he didn't expect that Rao was like this, and the resentment in his brother's heart not only did not disappear, but actually accumulated into a disease.
"My ability is obviously not inferior to you, just because you were reincarnated as the son of the Xiao family, and I am the son of the concubine, am I destined to live this kind of life? Even recognizing one's ancestors and returning to one's ancestors is an extravagant hope! I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled! Shi Quan thumped his chest, almost roaring.
"So you want to get rid of me." Xiao Ye looked at his younger brother and said word by word.
"I don't want to live in your shadow, I want to prove myself, I want to fight for myself, so only when you disappear can I get out of you and become my true self! But I don't really want you to die, I just ......" Shi Quan's tone suddenly weakened, "I just want you to stop being so dazzling." ”
"Empowerment, do you know, a person's honor and achievements are not based on destroying others, if you have enough ability and self-confidence, no matter what position I am in, you can surpass me."
Shi Quan smiled disdainfully, as if he had heard some big joke, "You are the concubine of the Xiao family, the heir of the marquis, you naturally can't feel my pain!" ”
Xiao Ye sighed: "Dignity is not the preferential treatment given by the family, but the recognition and redemption of oneself. ”
"It's too late to say anything." Shi Quan raised his head and looked at Xiao Ye, "Say, what do you want to do with me?" ”
"You betrayed your master because of disloyalty, betrayed your brother, and did unrighteousness, and now I can no longer tolerate you."
Xiao Ye closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of pain and determination.
"Someone!"
Soon, the old steward of the palace and several government soldiers ran in, "General, what are your orders?" ”
"Lock down the authority and lock it up, no one is allowed to approach without my orders!"
