Chapter 458: This is fate
Simon Nao really died, but Simon Kai and Simon never returned. Of course, this has to be said the other way around, after Simon left Wang's house on the day he opened, Simon never let him go out again. Tang Leng also stayed at Ximen's house, and he wanted to come and help. As for how to help, he decided to listen to Simon again.
And the young emperor actually sent someone over when Qingqing thought that there would be a problem with the Ximen family, just like when the Huang family wanted to kill Qingqing, he was waiting on the periphery. He didn't care if the people inside were dead, he only cared if he could catch the assassins. Of course, in the matter of the Ximen family, he very much hopes that he will kill two birds with one stone, just like the first emperor did, anyway, you will always die, rest assured, I will help you avenge.
Ximen Zhi probably didn't expect that he died under the plan he had prepared for the first emperor, Ximen's old mansion was destroyed, and the people in the small village where the Ximen family was located were not alive, these people were either side branches of the Ximen family, or they were people who had been attached to the Ximen family for many years.
Afterwards, the government counted the number of deaths and reported it, which was more than three times that of the Yue Guo Mansion. After hearing what the young emperor said, the queen vomited directly. She felt that she was not that fragile, but she was really a little angry when she thought that the Sun family used this way to kill innocents indiscriminately.
Qingqing quietly heard the queen say that when the queen talked about the tragic death, she couldn't help but touch her chest. The feeling of vomiting is still there.
Qingqing didn't speak, put Xiao Yue's roll aside, sat down by herself, and slowly took a pen and wrote four numbers. The queen was stunned for a moment, and hurried over, the first big number was what she had just told Qingqing. And what are the following three numbers?
"The Liu family was implicated and died at that time, as many as 2,441 people; The Sun family and the prince caused the anger of the first emperor to overturn the case, and the death of the prince was implicated, and the Sun family accompanied the death, 4,563 people; In the case of the Yueguo Mansion, the number of corpses found in the Yueguo Mansion was 375; Taken together, there are two hundred and eighty-one fewer than the above number. I guess this is someone from the Ximen family in the capital! Qingqing sighed lightly.
"You mean, Old Man Sun has already calculated it, how many people did you kill at the beginning, and I will let you come out now?" The queen wanted to vomit again, thought about it, and became confused again, "No, the Yueguo Mansion case was done by themselves, and it is also counted on the Ximen family?" ”
"Of course, it was originally a plan within a plan. If the Sun family doesn't do it, the first emperor will have to do it too. And this idea is probably suggested by Ximen Zhi to the first emperor, and Ximen Zhi also told Grandpa Sun about this plan, so Grandpa Sun felt that it was just a plan, and the old Yue Guogong couldn't blame him, so he also helped the Yue family to take revenge. Qingqing let out a long sigh.
"Simon is a little interesting." The queen said suddenly.
"Why?" Qingqing didn't understand what the queen wanted to say, how to mention Ximen again.
"You didn't pay attention to Yin Zi, how could the emperor ignore it, after the trial, Yin Zi did go to Ximen's house first and relayed your words. In fact, your grandfather also arranged it this way, if Ximen Kai received your letter, he would definitely discuss with Ximen again, and only Ximen Zai would have real power in Ximen's hands now. Hurry up and come back to help, in this way, they are really just waiting for the rabbit. As a result, Ximen opened a secret trip out of Beijing to help Tang Leng, and Ximen's family only had Ximen again. Simon didn't hear it anymore, saying that Yin Zi was alarmist and drove her out. Why was the emperor able to catch up with them to slaughter the village? It's because they're looking for Ximen to open, after all, it's easier to kill people when they return to their hometown. The queen sighed softly, these are not analyzed, but facts.
Qingqing was stunned for a moment, Ximen has been in the Criminal Department for another sixteen years, and he has completed all the positions in the Criminal Department, and he really deserves his name as the secretary of the Criminal Department. How can such a person not be able to distinguish the real from the fake. After Yin Zi revealed his identity, he should know the seriousness of the matter.
"Then did he send someone privately?" Qingqing still decided to ask again, after all, a person with a city government would not follow Xiao Yahuan to show his lower plan.
"Hold the gate tightly, and send for the north to pick up the west gate and open it." The queen looked at Qingqing approvingly, they have never looked at what others do to them, only how they look at problems. Qingqing is still trying to think about people for the better in the obvious explanation of his intentions, you must know that Qingqing is also a victim of the Ximen family. Whether she represents the Sun family, the Liu family, the Yang family, or the Qiao family, she should not have illusions about the Ximen Family Newspaper.
"It's really true, but it's a bit ruthless." Qingqing lowered her head and thought about it, and said softly.
Ximen guards the gate again, and returns to the West Gate to open, these are all to keep the fire of Ximen's family. If you keep him, you can keep the seat of the Ximen family in the imperial court. Keeping Ximen open can save the future of the Ximen family. This is really a very rational way to do things. It's just that the Simon family, which has tens of thousands of people in his hometown! From that village to the ghost village, no one dares to get close to it.
"So the emperor came back and said, let Ximen Zai and Ximen Kaiding worry, and go back to deal with the funeral. The imperial court gave preferential treatment. The queen shook her head, no matter how rational she was, what could she do? Ding was worried for three years, and even if the Ximen family could return to the court after three years, only Ximen would be opened. Besides, Ximen Kai has not yet married, and his parents and grandfather have all died together with their relatives who have returned to the village, and he wants to become his own son, and he has waited. Waiting for a few filial piety to be finished, it is not important to get back the official position, the important thing is that he has to become his own son as soon as possible and revitalize the Ximen family. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Simon family is destined to decline.
"Alas, Queen Mother, do you believe in your fate?" Qingqing suddenly raised her head and looked at the queen.
"What?" The queen believes in herself, she is an authentic Buddhist, and she still eats fasting and recites Buddha on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. But she knew that Qingqing didn't believe it, she had the coldness of the royal people, they were all people with strong self-belief and would only believe in themselves. As a result, now ask yourself what does this mean?
"In the past thirty years, it was actually stolen by Lord Simon. From another point of view, a normal person would say that if he hadn't been engaged in wind and rain thirty years ago, he would have been in the Kaifeng Mansion of the second grade, and he would have been doing it, entering the Hanlin Academy, becoming a scholar, and then thirty years, he would have been able to enter the cabinet. If he enters the cabinet, what will the children and grandchildren worry about? Qingqing looked at the queen.
"Having said that, in fact, you know very well that the first emperor has long been impatient with these so-called families. At that time, he was just throwing himself into the city to the first emperor! ”
"That's what I'm talking about! He didn't surrender to the first emperor thirty years ago, and he didn't design such a complicated bureau, how could he get out. Thirty years in peace? However, thirty years later, it is destined that the damned people will die after all, but it is a pity for the people of the Simon family.
