Chapter 52, the willows and flowers
Xiao Jingning had made a choice for him to ask Pu Yangying in the prison of the Criminal Department, Xiao Pingzhang didn't expect her to ask again, and after being stunned, he smiled indifferently and slowly replied: "Yes." ”
The answer was smooth but firm, and what he said was sincere, not perfunctory.
This was not an unexpected answer, Xiao Jingning just nodded indifferently after hearing this, and continued: "Your father, biological father, General Lin, you and Yuan Qi, you all have one thing in common. ”
There is no need to mention it more, Xiao Jingning's meaning Xiao Pingzhang already understood, nodded and said, "The minister knows." ”
Among these people, there are Prince Qizhu, Sanpin Junhou, General, Prince Qizhu's son, and Mopin Marquis, with different identities, statuses, and authority. His father and the three were born in the Youting, that is, the family committed the great crime of beheading the whole family, and his biological father Jian'an Hou and Xiao Yuanqi's father, King Laiyang, once again committed the unforgivable forgiveness of the crime. All of this, without exception, is very similar in origin.
If no one deliberately compares them, then no one can think of this. But who is Puyang Ying? That's an out-and-out madman, how could he not take advantage of such a coincidental thing, so he will inevitably take these clear facts and quietly plant that seed in Xiao Yuanqi's heart, let him see and listen. Xiao Pingzhang could even imagine what Pu Yangying looked like when he was talking to Xiao Yuanqi.
As a wife, no matter how unforgivable the king of Laiyang committed, in her heart her husband is a perfect person, she will hope that the child will revere his biological father, so the matter of guilt will never be mentioned with Xiao Yuanqi. But the King of Laiyang and His Majesty are compatriots, and their circumstances are very different, is it really just to avoid suspicion?
Puyang Ying would tell Xiao Yuanqi that if his father had not made a mistake, then this would not be the case, which led to the great sin committed by King Laiyang and his biological father. I can't say that he will ridicule his biological father a few words, people like his biological father have greed and ambition, but they are not ruthless enough, and they can't let go of those past and feelings, so they are destined to not succeed. This seemed to be a mocking word, but it turned into a blade and pierced Yuan Qi's heart, with Yuan Qi's cleverness, he would not be ignorant of Pu Yangying's purpose, but such words sounded very reasonable, so even if Yuan Qi did not immediately go astray because of this words, he was deeply impressed by these words.
If at this time, he really died because of Pu Yangying's design to save Pingjing, then the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and this deeply buried seed would inevitably sprout. And after his death, no one is going around for the Changlin Palace, with his father's temperament, I am afraid it will not end well, since then all the mirrors have ended up miserable, and then look at the young and immature prince, the two are both royal descendants, but due to the different status of their biological fathers, the young and immature children are high, and he, a talented person, was trampled into the mud and could not turn over, so he could not hate.
The mountains and rivers suddenly became clear, and Xiao Pingzhang finally understood what Puyang Ying planted in Xiao Yuanqi's heart. As long as the Changlin Mansion is fine, his father is well with him, and he pays more attention to guiding Yuan Qi to look and act in a good direction, then Xiao Yuanqi will always be that kind and enthusiastic good child.
Xiao Pingzhang got up and bowed deeply to Xiao Jingning: "Xie Niangniang pointed out the maze." ”
"The prince doesn't need to be polite." Xiao Jingning was calm and said lightly: "Speaking from the heart, who should thank whom is still two words." After all, this child is also a nephew of the palace, and the palace is looking forward to his well. Since the prince is willing to take over the responsibility of guiding Xiao Yuanqi, the palace will not interfere much, and if necessary, the prince can also find me. ”
After saluting again, Xiao Pingzhang went to the East Palace, first, to ask for peace, and secondly, now Xiao Yuan often asks him for advice, he has to find time to come to the East Palace, in order to answer Xiao Yuanshi's questions, and third, Xiao Pingjing is also here, he still has to go to get people.
Calmly watching Xiao Pingzhang leave, Xiao Jingning did not miss any details, and suddenly raised a slight smile. Today's Xiao Pingzhang seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact she is sharp, she was planted in the hands of a person for the first time in a real sense, the former general of the left battalion of the Changlin Army, the Marquis of the Sanpin Army, Hou Jian'an, Hou Luyuan is such an excellent person? Xiao Jingning's eyes are far away, so Lu Yuan, have you really cut off all the evidence in your mouth, and helped Shao'er make this case an iron case and never turn over, or do you have room to spare, even if you can't show the snow, you can let people who really want to investigate find out the clues?
However, it was said that Xiao Ting gave birth to the court and went back to Changlin Wangfu to sit down, and it was only half an hour before and after, and he waited for Gao Qin's personal invitation. I can't help but wonder, there was no major event in the early dynasty, and His Majesty was also very calm, this suddenly sent Gao Qin to come, it could only be a sudden situation, and he didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed Gao Qin to the Yangju Palace.
When Xiao Tingsheng arrived, he saw Xiao Xin sitting quietly in front of the desk, with various folds and case files stacked on it, as well as some papers full of words.
The sound of saluting alarmed Xiao Xin, and he said: "Now you and my brother get along in private, Brother Wang, don't care about those false courtesies." Brother Wang, come and take a look at these excerpts. ”
Xiao Tingsheng has always adhered to the way of the monarch and the minister, and he did not agree with Xiao Xin's indifference to the false courtesy that he had mentioned many times, and still stubbornly finished the ceremony. Wealth and vanity, honor and authority often make people lose themselves in it and forget their original intentions. People's greed is always endless, no matter how much they get, they will always feel that they should get more, and when one day what they get does not meet their expectations, they will make mistakes without knowing it. Therefore, he often reminded himself not to indulge because of His Majesty's generosity, and once he indulged, it may not be beyond his control. Always be vigilant and never take that step, that's what he should do.
But he and Xiao Xin are not only monarchs and ministers, but also brothers in the true sense, while maintaining the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, he has never alienated the relationship with His Majesty, they are still brothers, they can speak bluntly, there is no need to hide it. Xiao Xin has always firmly trusted him, and he will not fail to live up to this trust.
Now Xiao Xin asked him to go over and look at those folds, Xiao Tingsheng did not hesitate, stepped forward and picked up the top book, the familiar judgment, the familiar case, the indifferent and stubborn person twenty-five years ago seemed to stand in front of him again. Xiao Tingsheng put down the fold in his hand, and went to open the others, these things piled up in front of Xiao Xin were the case files, excerpts and even evidence of the year, all the things recorded in the case were here.
Xiao Tingsheng put down the fold and asked, "Your Majesty, how could you think of reading these?" ”
Xiao Xin said: "Brother Wang, there may be something else hidden in the events of the year. ”
Xiao Tingsheng pondered and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”。
Xiao Xin smiled bitterly: "Shao'er is probably taking the initiative to seek death." ”
