Since the Song King Xie Lan was mentioned, this still warm father-daughter conversation was also a little unusual.

Because he knew that Zhu Yunqing was his biological daughter, Xia Dan's attitude was completely different from before, and he said what he should say and shouldn't say to Zhu Yunqing: "If it is fair, Xie Lan, the king of Song, is already outstanding among several princes, and he has the blood of the Xuan family, so it is reasonable for you Yongan Secret Guard to support him." ”

Zhu Yunqing took the opportunity to take care of herself, hoping that Xia Dan could do something in her affection: "The affairs of the royal capital have always been handled by me and a few senior sisters. ”

"Wan Qing, do you believe it? Even if all the princes and daughters of His Majesty passed away, His Majesty would rather succeed a son of the Xie family than pass on the throne to the King of Song. Xia Dan sighed and said, "So all these efforts of your Yongan Secret Guard are actually in vain. Unless the king of Song rebelled to seize the throne, but even if he succeeded, he could only leave a reputation in the history books for usurping power and seizing the throne. ”

"Why? King Song is also the emperor's own flesh and blood. Zhu Yunqing was puzzled.

"Because King Song is the son of Empress Xuan, and Empress Xuan is the person His Majesty hates the most." Charton said.

Zhu Yunqing didn't understand the grievances, but Xia Dan did not shy away from telling her: "The royal family has no family affection, and there have been many examples of fathers and sons turning against each other and killing brothers since ancient times." ”

Zhu Yunqing has read history books, so she naturally knows it, but she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to her.

"You guys, it's better to give up your plan to help King Song as soon as possible; Otherwise, I am afraid that in the future, you may really be implicated. Thinking about Zhu Yunqing's current identity and thinking about her daughter, Xia Dan still said.

"Father, is there really no other way to do it?" Zhu Yunqing still didn't give up and asked.

"Who made him the son of Xuanhou!" Chardon shook his head.

Zhu Yunqing was entangled in her heart, so what should she do? Toji has put a lot of effort into this plan, but the result is likely to be the only result, and no matter who it is, I am afraid that he will not be reconciled.

After thinking about it all night, Zhu Yunqing still felt uneasy, so she first went to see Chu Ning, the master of the south, and repeated what Xia Duan said to her to Chu Ning word for word, before asking: "Master, like this, what should I do?" ”

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and smiled weirdly: "Wan Qing, if you guess, if you let your master know, what will he do?" ”

Zhu Yunqing was puzzled by what Master Chu meant: "My master? My master, it's been many years since I didn't care about the affairs of the royal capital, except this time I sent a Ji girl to the royal capital. ”

"But if you say it, your master's identity is the most suitable to ask about this matter." Chu Ning said quietly.

In comparison, Ji Xingzhou, the head of the North Division, is the concubine of the eldest princess of Yijia, and it is obviously best for him to do many things.

The follow-up matter was also told by the master of Chu to Ji Xingzhou, the master of the North Division, but Ji Xingzhou did not make any moves, but just silently sent a letter to his brother Ji Xingnian, the Duke of Liang Guo.

After that, Zhu Yunqing needed to stay in Yong'an to guard his filial piety for his deceased mother, and as for the same statement on the Wang Du's side, no one doubted it.

And Xia Dan returned to the royal capital from Yong'an safely. The excuse he used to leave the royal capital was that he wanted to go back to Anyang to worship his ancestors, but after leaving the royal capital, he went straight to Yong'an, and it was impossible for such a movement to hide from the emperor's eyes. So after Xia Dan returned to Beijing, he went directly to the palace to plead guilty; The crime of bullying the king can actually be big or small, it depends on what the emperor wants.

In front of the emperor, Xia Dan listened honestly: "Your Majesty, the minister has committed the crime of bullying the king. After the minister left Beijing, he did not return to Anyang, but went to Yong'an. ”

Emperor Cheng Ji already knew that Xia Duan had gone to Yong'an, but now when he heard him say it in person, he was still very angry: "What are you doing in Yong'an?" I once told you that you don't care about the affairs of the Yong'an Secret Guard, you are taking my words as a deaf ear! ”

"Your Majesty." Xia Duan kowtowed again, and said very sincerely, "The minister suddenly heard the news that his relatives were seriously ill, and he was concerned about it, so he hurriedly went over to see him for the last time. The minister has committed a serious crime, and he asks His Majesty to deal with it. ”

He said this very satisfactorily, highlighting his helplessness and picking himself clean by the way.

But Emperor Cheng Ji knew the situation of Xia Dian well, and he found it interesting to hear him say this: "Your parents died early, and there is no one in the clan, so where do you come from?" ”

Xia Dan thought for a moment before he said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is the minister's righteous sister, Xia Ruofu." He thought that Zhu Yunqing was still a female official in the palace, so he didn't say that he had a more intimate relationship with Xia Ruofu; However, Emperor Cheng Ji originally knew that the relationship between Xia Dian and Xia Ruofu was not a simple brother and sister at all, so it didn't have much impact if he said it.

It's just that when he heard the name Xia Ruofu, Emperor Cheng Ji was stunned: "Xia Ruofu? Wait, wasn't she dead twenty-three years ago? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I was fortunate to have God's mercy back then, Ruofu was not killed in the rebellion, and she has been safe and secure in Yong'an. It's just, it's just, it's just that he suddenly became seriously ill and died a few days ago. Xia Dan's voice was still a little trembling, and it sounded like that.

"Charlotte, she actually died of illness." Emperor Cheng Ji seemed to be very surprised, or he suddenly moved a little bit when he heard that Xia Ruofu was still alive, after all, Xia Ruofu knew too many things, and maybe there was something he wanted to know.

Xia Dan's expression was very low, so he hung his head and didn't want to say more.

This news obviously made Emperor Cheng Ji a little troubled, and he didn't even care so much about Xia Dan's crime of bullying the king.

It's just that now Xia Dan came to ask for guilt, and Emperor Cheng Ji also asked him to punish him for half a year, in fact, Xia Dan has been an official for 30 years, and there is no shortage of that half a year.

Since Emperor Chengji is no longer ready to blame Xia Dun, this also makes those who want to use this as an excuse to completely shut up.

In fact, for Emperor Chengji, Xia Dian is the most useful chess piece; From the very beginning, it was the people of the Xie family who promoted Xia Dan to a high position, and Xia Dan did live up to expectations, and he has always been conscientious and did not dare to slack off.

Emperor Chengji asked Xia Dan to go back first, and he should not mention this matter to anyone in the future.

It's just that now that he heard the news related to Xia Ruofu, Emperor Cheng Ji calmed down and thought about it, and he still felt very uneasy; Since everyone thought that the dead Imperial Shangyi Xia Ruofu could still survive in the war rebellion twenty years ago, does that mean that there are actually other people who are hiding in Yong'an after surviving?

As far as he was concerned, those people were old people, old people who were very dangerous.

More than 20 years later, it seems that some things should be completely stopped.
