Chapter 51: Taking People as a Mirror
Seeing this, it was only at this time that Xiao Jingning suddenly understood what kind of medicine Xiao Pingzhang was selling in this gourd, she lowered her eyes, and said with a faint smile: "The prince is here for Laiyang Hou." ”
"Niang Niang Mincha." Even if he saw through the purpose, Xiao Pingzhang was still calm, and said with a gentle smile: "It is Yuan Qi's work to catch Puyang Ying so quickly, and the minister is willing to guarantee that he will not go astray." ”
"If the prince can guarantee that he will not go astray, why bother to go this way." His eyes flickered, Xiao Jingning seemed to be indifferent to what he said, and his words were light: "It's not sure if it's still the prince, what seed Puyang Ying has watered in Laiyang Hou's heart, and what kind of big tree this seed will grow into." People's hearts have always been unpredictable, the last moment is still bright, and the next moment may become a treacherous snake and scorpion, the prince is not as confident in himself as he imagined. ”
"The minister is just a mortal."
Xiao Pingzhang smiled helplessly, he is also a mortal of flesh and blood, where can he really be completely infallible. He knew himself very well, and if Pu Yangying's plan was successful, he would never let Pingjing have trouble. Therefore, if there is no queen to intervene, there will be no Xiao Pingzhang in this world. For Xiao Yuanqi, he is not only Pingjing's friend, he actually sees him since he was a child, and knows what a good child he is. Just as his father told him about his father, one stumble turned into a thousand hatreds, and no one pulled him out of the abyss of his mistakes. He didn't want to see anyone like his father to leave a word of regret in vain, and he didn't want Chang Lin Jun's sword and spear to turn his head to Xiao Yuanqi one day, so he could only take precautions and slowly enlighten him to pull him away from the abyss.
However, just as Xiao Jingning said, Xiao Pingzhang couldn't know or guess what Pu Yangying's madman said to Xiao Yuanqi, what kind of seed was planted for him, whether that seed had sprouted and whether it would grow into a big tree, he didn't know, and he couldn't ask. You must know that Xiao Yuanqi's performance seems to have really told him everything, but Mrs. Laiyang's incomplete suicide note still makes him suspicious, does the part of "bad words" that Xiao Yuanqi "accidentally" burned really refer to his dissatisfaction with His Majesty and the Changlin Palace? I'm afraid it may not be.
Mrs. Laiyang died at the hands of the Marquis of Mozi, and she could still write such a long suicide note before she died, just being forced to confess her guilt? Concubine Shu has been dead for seven years, how could she find out that Concubine Shu's death has another secret at this time? To say that there is no Pu Yangying's handwriting in this, Xiao Pingzhang absolutely does not believe it. But Mo Zihou's so-called revenge for his sister, but he didn't move Xiao Yuanqi at all, was he thinking about the thin bloodline, or was he arrogant and believed that Xiao Yuanqi didn't have the ability to seek revenge on him, or was it ...... What did Mrs. Laiyang leave behind?
The Marquis of Mozi was born in the Shenwu clan of the East China Sea royal family, and his status and ability are not bad, on the contrary, the East China Sea monarch has mediocre qualifications, and he is even reluctant to deal with the government, is he really willing to bow down to such an emperor? If you want to ascend the throne, you must make convincing achievements, and the content of this suicide note is intriguing. Asking Yuan Qi couldn't ask anything else, he couldn't be too radical, so he could only seek an alliance, and then he thought of the queen. The current queen mother is a person who can see through people's hearts, she can make Pu Yangying lose what he does best, and she must also know Pu Yangying very well, and she may be able to speculate a thing or two. As long as he can find that seed, even if the seed has taken root and sprouted, he is confident that he can uproot it.
For various reasons, Xiao Pingzhang stopped selling Guan Zi and bluntly said his intention: "The matter of the Marquis of Mozi must have known the reason, and the minister does not know what the deal Puyang Ying and the Marquis of Mozi did, but Guan Puyang Ying acts, as long as the water of the beam can be muddy, so that the Liang and the Changlin Mansion will have a mess, this person can do whatever the price." The suicide note left by Mrs. Laiyang must have been written according to the instructions of these two people, and what was written is unknown to others except for the three of them. The minister was afraid that Yuan Qi would fall for the treacherous scheme of these two people and go astray...... Set off a border war. The minister knew that it was the best choice to directly destroy the land where the seed was located at this time, but Yuan Qi had not made a mistake after all, and the minister wanted to protect him selfishly, so he came to Niangniang to ask for advice. ”
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Jingning held the white jade teacup in front of him, slowly drank the tea in the cup, and then slowly put the teacup in place, and then slowly picked up the white porcelain pot again to refill the cup for himself, looking calm, his eyes were calm, and he couldn't see the slightest thought.
Then she said very calmly: "Is the prince afraid that the Marquis of Laiyang will become the next Marquis of Jian'an?" ”
The tone and speed of speech were calm, but the questions asked were so sharp. Xiao Pingzhang did not evade, raised his eyes to stare into Xiao Jingning's eyes, and replied briefly and firmly: "Yes." ”
At this moment, Xiao Jingning was no longer silent, and when he got the answer, he said directly: "The heart also depends on who the object is, the Laiyang Hou and his own palace don't know it, but there are not many people who can make you agree with the prince." From the side, this palace heard that when he took you to find Puyangying, he had a private conversation with you for about half an hour, that is, this half an hour, so that you believed him carefully, and led the soldiers to find Minggu Stream, this child, but quite strategic, can this palace know the content of your conversation? ”
"It's okay." Xiao Pingzhang explained the situation of the day in detail, and then said: "This is the case from the beginning to the end, the minister thinks that if Yuan Qi has really been provoked by Puyang Ying and Mozi Marquis, then he doesn't need to stand up at all. Since he has stood up, he is still the original Yuan Qi, but once this kind of seed is planted, no one knows when it will sprout. After all, no matter what circumstances the suicide note was written, it was always from the hands of Mrs. Laiyang, and it always had an impact on Yuan Qi. ”
Xiao Jingning stared at the white jade teacup for a long time, and suddenly asked something that seemed unrelated: "The Marquis of Laiyang respects your father and you from the bottom of his heart, right?" ”
didn't answer immediately, Xiao Pingzhang lowered his eyes and recalled for a while before nodding slowly: "That's true." ”
"That's it." Xiao Jingning smiled lightly: "You saw the shadow of Jian'an Hou in him, why didn't he see his shadow in you." ”
Xiao Pingzhang was stunned: "What does Niangniang mean by this?" ”。
Xiao Jingning said: "You haven't been able to see that part of the suicide note, it should be about King Laiyang." The case of King Laiyang's embezzlement of military salaries is not top secret, and with Puyang Ying's ability, it should still be possible to investigate 7788. Then inevitably, your biological father Jian'an Hou is also among them. No matter what the inside story is, what Xiao Yuanqi is told must be beneficial to his plan. Through Shenwu Fangzi's masterpiece, he informed King Laiyang about it, and then he personally contacted Xiao Yuanqi, and then informed Jian'an Hou about it. After taking a look at the poison situation set up by Pu Yangying against the two of you, with your temperament...... Will you give your life to save peace, right? ”
