Chapter 308: Project Shadow
I walked forward more than ten meters and saw a person standing there, it was Si Yubo, Beiming had seen him before, he was older than Duke Xinglan, and Beiming had always called him uncle.
Si Yubo nodded to Duke Xinglan, then looked at the person in the wheelchair and asked, "He... It's been like this all the way?"
"Yes. Duke Xinglan nodded, "I've been wearing a mask since I came out of the dungeon of the Lesmen Temple, and no one has seen it. ”
"Hmm. Si Yubo nodded, stepped forward, took the wheelchair from Bei Ming's hand and said, "I'll come Bei Ming." ”
"No, uncle, how can I let you do this?"
"Eh, Beiming. Duke Xinglan waved his hand and said, "Listen to your uncle in the palace." ”
"Okay. Bei Ming smiled and handed the wheelchair to Si Yubo. At the same time, I thought to myself, who is Si Yubo, the chief manager next to the emperor, equivalent to Zhao Gao, Wei Zhongxian, Liu Jin and other people at the same level, he took the initiative to push this wheelchair, this person's identity must be a member of the royal family!
"I've grown so big in a flash. Si Yubo pushed the wheelchair and said as he walked, "Why did you bring Ye Yun here today?"
Usually Ye Yun is waiting at the Shane Bridge and won't come in, but it is reasonable for Si Yubo to ask if he comes in today.
"It's not that this person has just been inadvertently released by Bei Ming, seeing that he is more special, he hurriedly took him directly to the palace and handed it over to the emperor to decide! Xinglan didn't hide it, and directly told him about the events of this night.
"Hahaha. Si Yubo smiled, "Duke Xinglan is cautious, but here are all our own people, so there is no accident." ”
"That's right, but I'm too worried. Duke Xinglan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
While walking, he chatted, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Si Yubo said: "Beiming, you and Ye Yun, you two will rest in the side hall first, and I will see if the emperor has rested with your father." ”
"Okay, no problem!" Bei Ming agreed, and came to the side hall with Ye Yun to rest.
Bei Ming pretended to be very excited and looked at everything in the side hall, in fact, he was looking to see if there was a place to hide people, and he observed the maids at the lower door, and after making sure that they were not masters, he came to Ye Yun and whispered.
"Teacher, how do I feel that the atmosphere is different, Si Yubo has something to say!" He could obviously feel that Si Yubo was slightly nervous because of Ye Yun's appearance.
"It's not your kid who caused the trouble!" Ye Yun shook his head and looked out the window worriedly.
"No, it's all at this time, aren't you going to tell me who that wheelchair is?" Bei Ming asked in a low voice.
"He...."Ye Yun stopped talking and said, "It's better to listen to the adults, he feels that he will naturally tell you when the time is ripe." ”
"Uh...."The words are all said and this, and Beiming doesn't have much to say.
In fact, Bei Ming himself has some speculations about the person in the wheelchair, the most outrageous thing is to think that this is his grandfather! Combined with some martial arts routines, Bei Ming's grandfather faked his death and wanted to plot a big thing! Then the matter was revealed and he was crippled and secretly imprisoned, and today Bei Ming was inadvertently released, and then Duke Xinglan killed his relatives in order to protect the family's righteousness!
Of course, this is what Bei Ming himself thinks, he knows that although his grandfather can toss, he will not make the emperor afraid of him so much....
It is basically impossible for his own grandfather, but it is still very possible for the emperor's brother! This man has always covered his face, and no one is allowed to see his true face....This person failed to seize power at the beginning and was imprisoned by the emperor. Today, Beiming released him is equivalent to Beichen Mansion having the heart of rebellion! This person has a little friendship with his grandfather, and he can't bear to let Beichen Mansion decline, so he came out to explain and protect Beichen Mansion. Coupled with the fact that Si Yubo took the initiative to push the wheelchair just now, this person must be a royal figure, perhaps this is the most reliable.
Duke Xinglan stayed inside for less than an hour, and came out of the emperor's palace in the middle of the night. It was also Si Yubo who pushed the wheelchair, they greeted Beiming, and then the group chatted to the Shane Bridge while walking, and then Si Yubo saw them get in the car and leave.
Bei Ming's psychology had a stomach full of words to ask, so he endured it, and when he arrived at the Duke of Xinglan in Beichen Mansion, he asked Ye Yun to send the person in the wheelchair to the backyard to rest, and then took Bei Ming to the study.
Duke Xinglan sat on the chair, loosened his collar and said, "You have something to ask, don't you? Don't worry, I will tell you, satisfy your curiosity, and save you from going to investigate what to stab me in secret!"
Bei Ming took the wine and poured wine for Duke Xinglan with a sneering smile, and said embarrassedly: "I really didn't deliberately go to the trouble of the Lethmen Temple, just because Pu Xiuwen was captured by them, and I went to save people....and then I couldn't get used to Alexander's dick appearance that everything was under his control, so I wanted to surprise him! Let him know that my advantage is not so easy to take advantage of..."
Duke Xinglan looked at him angrily and said, "Who is Alexander?
After he finished speaking, he took the wine glass on the table and drank it and said, "Give him a surprise?"
"Father, you are angry, I also came back to discuss with you because of the big trouble this time, after all, you know more information than me. Bei Ming whispered with a frown.
"I thought that Young Master Beiming was not afraid of heaven and earth!" Duke Xinglan said, picked up the wine glass, and when he saw that there was no wine in it, he put the quilt on the table, "Pour wine!"
"Eh, here, here. Beiming immediately poured the wine.
"Beiming, it's really a bit tricky for you to get into trouble this time...."Duke Xinglan said a little tiredly.
"I... I won't be looking for trouble in the future, so I'll spend all my time drinking with peace of mind..."This sentence is from the bottom of Beiming's heart.
"Then I have to believe it!" Duke Xinglan smiled and lit a cigarette and said, "Actually, if you look at the history of our family, you will find that every family heir is....not in tune before he becomes the head of the family!"
"Our family is a family of military generals, and the education of the family is to teach you how to distinguish between right and wrong from an early age, and then tell you not to leave a breath for your opponent, and to cut the grass to eradicate the roots!
Duke Xinglan said and took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Let's not talk about it before, my generation will tell you some news about the political situation from time to time, so that you have a certain sensitivity to politics = governance, once you have a good feeling of politics and governance, you will be a qualified heir! Our family is such a wonderful family, every generation has come over like this!"
"So... Don't you think I'm doing something wrong?" asked Bei Ming in a low voice. 、
"I told you before that there is no absolute right or wrong in this world, it is just a matter of your position. Duke Xinglan took a sip of wine after speaking.
“.....” Bei Ming knew that his father didn't blame him, and said that the previous head of the family had come over like this for every generation. But he's a little unsure what it means, it has nothing to do with today's events....
"Okay, after talking so much nonsense, in fact, just to tell you one thing, things involving the royal family, think twice!" Duke Xinglan looked at Bei Ming seriously and said: "Because the royal style of acting does not pay attention to what is not as bad as the family, he will destroy you at every turn!
"Yes, I know. Bei Ming nodded and said.
Duke Xinglan took a puff of cigarette and snuffed out the cigarette butt and said, "Okay, I've talked so much to you kid, it's time for us to talk about business, you want to know who this person is, right?"
Beiming nodded.
"Hmm. Duke Xinglan took a sip of wine and said, "His name is Zhongli Hongyi!"
"Zhongli Hongyi, well, it's a royal family, guess with me ****...."Bei Ming said directly after listening to it, and then the more he said, the more wrong it felt, he suddenly thought of it, stood up and said in surprise: "Ah???Zhongli.... Zhongli Hongyi??"
Duke Xinglan had already guessed that he would have this reaction, and nodded and looked at Beiming with a smile.
"Damn! This time it's a big deal!" Bei Ming pointed in the direction of the palace and said, "That.... Who's that over there?"
Zhongli Hongyi is the name of the old emperor, since it is said that it is Zhongli Hongyi who is in a wheelchair, then who is in the palace? Beiming thought of this moment is goosebumps, this secret history of the palace is too exciting! The street stalls don't dare to make up such a literary history!
Duke Xinglan scratched his hair and said, "That's true now! It's a bit complicated, I'll tell you slowly." ”
"Okay, good!" As soon as he talked about this Beiming, he was not sleepy, and his eyes were shining brightly to give Duke Xinglan a drink and a cigarette.
"Let's start with a few decades ago. Duke Xinglan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "At that time, your grandfather received a secret order! Let your grandfather recruit people who look like the emperor in the whole continent, and then train these people to do the same as the emperor in all aspects! This plan is called the 'Shadow Project'. Then your grandfather created a department dedicated to these things, and this department was the predecessor of the Western Bureau!"
"Although your grandfather doesn't know what the emperor's ultimate goal is, he can also guess the ****. It's nothing more than letting a stand-in come forward to pretend to be the emperor in public, this is nothing new, and I didn't think much about it. ”
Duke Xinglan took a sip of wine and continued: "In the end, the 'Shadow Project' selected ten shadows who could replace the emperor on any occasion, which was enough to achieve the point of being fake. It didn't take it seriously, but a few years later, your grandfather received another secret order that a stand-in had escaped, and asked him to secretly hunt down the stand-in, and ordered the rest of the stand-ins and those involved in the plan to be eliminated..... It was a strange order, but it made sense, and your grandfather did it. ”
"What happened later?" Bei Ming became more and more fascinated the more he listened, and he also smoked a cigarette with Duke Xinglan.
