Chapter 275: Confession
Xiao Hanyin didn't have much ups and downs in his heart about his choice to follow the prince.
None of the things he is doing now come from his own heart.
However, everyone has their own responsibilities, and the General's Mansion is inextricably linked to him, and he must not abandon it.
As a result, the emperor had the weakness to pinch him.
Of course, there is another very important reason why he will stay, that is, the emperor gave him and Liu Qingshao a marriage.
Xiao Hanyin saw the prince's letter, and finally followed his instructions and prepared to go to the Crane Tower.
He must not have wanted to have anything to do with those people, but all this was arranged by the prince.
Xiao Hanyin can ignore others, but the prince's face still has to be given.
After passing, Xiao Hanyin saw many ministers in the court.
He didn't expect that there would be so many people under the prince's command.
There were many ministers who previously supported the second prince and the fourth prince.
However, since the emperor put the second prince under house arrest for a period of time, the situation in the court has changed significantly.
Xiao Hanyin has always known about these things, but he will always do them well, and the things that the emperor and the crown prince have explained have never had private dealings with the ministers of the court......
It is precisely because of this that the emperor and the crown prince trust him so much.
"Lord Xiao!" In fact, Xiao Hanyin is the crown prince's person, and it is not a secret in the court at all, and everyone knows it.
After saluting the prince, he bowed to the crowd, but did not speak.
"The cold personality is cold, and it has always been like that!" When the prince saw him, the smile on his face became much thicker.
Everyone knows that Xiao Hanyin used to be the prince's companion, and the two have a deep relationship, which ordinary people can't compare.
"Lord Xiao is young and promising, I admire him very much!" A young four-rank official in the DPRK said.
Although he is higher than Xiao Hanyin in terms of official position, he has no real power in the court, and he is not as good as him, the prince's henchman.
Xiao Han was obviously a petty officer in the military department, and they had guessed some of what they did in private.
has been trusted and cultivated by the emperor at such a young age, and his career in the future is limitless.
They had a guess in their hearts, so they praised Xiao Hanyin.
"Yesterday, I don't know what Lord Xiao thought about about the matter I mentioned?" At this time, the military department Shangshu spoke.
"Xiaguan and Neiko are very puzzled, why do you want to accept Neiko as a righteous daughter?" Before Xiao Hanyin could check, he received news from the prince.
However, now that the military department is already the prince's person, Xiao Hanyin doesn't want to send someone to investigate, so he simply asks the doubts in his heart directly......
"A few days ago, the evidence you exposed to the head of the household has made many people in the court have guessed your identity, and after discussing it with my wife, I decided to use the matter of recognizing my relatives to distract others!" Lord Wu, the secretary of the military department, told the reason.
No matter what, they are all working for the same master now, and seeing that Xiao Han is in danger, they naturally can't do nothing.
Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao are the right-hand men under the prince, and they must not have an accident, otherwise the prince will lose an arm.
"I'm sorry Lord Wu, I thought too much about it before!" Xiao Hanyin always thought that they had other purposes, so he didn't think to agree.
"I don't blame you, after all, if it were me, I'm afraid I'd think about it more!" Lord Wu didn't mind at all.
At that time, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao didn't know that he had already taken refuge with the prince, and it was normal to suspect the intentions of their husband and wife.
After all, they didn't have much of a deep relationship before.
"Thank you, Lord Wu!" Xiao Hanyin didn't expect him to be quite open-minded.
"The old man has been in the court for many years, and he can be regarded as having some connections, and other people in the court will sell me more or less a face, if Mrs. Xiao becomes my goddaughter, those people in the court will not dare to make a move on you easily!" This is also the result of his consultation with the prince.
In any case, they had to protect Xiao Hanyin first.
The power of the ministers of the DPRK and China is complicated, and Xiao Hanyin has now become a big problem for everyone.
Although the prince has been sheltering him, he is entangled in political affairs and cannot completely cut off the framing of others against him.
If he became Lord Wu's godson-in-law, others would not dare to embarrass him openly for the sake of Lord Wu's face.
The crown prince is still too young, and as a prince, it is not convenient for him to meddle in some things.
It is best for Lord Wu to come forward in this matter......
After Xiao Hanyin listened to his words, he finally understood his intentions.
It turned out that Lord Wu would bring up this matter after careful consideration.
"After you go back, make it clear to your wife, the sooner you do this, the better!" The things that Xiao Hanyin did before had already made the ministers in the court completely jealous of him.
They were all afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of Lord Du, so they secretly wanted to get rid of Xiao Hanyin as soon as possible.
Only when he is completely dead can they be reassured.
After all, a person who can find out their handle at any time, and being an official in the same dynasty as them, is really a very dangerous thing.
At present, Xiao Hanyin is a murderous knife in the hands of the emperor.
Whenever someone in the DPRK makes a mistake, Xiao Hanyin may come up with evidence of their guilt at any time.
How could they allow the existence of a person who could threaten their lives at any moment......
After Xiao Hanyin agreed to Lord Wu, everyone discussed some things in the court.
The crown prince has been appreciated by the emperor, and the throne can only be his, and this matter will never change. Fast-eyed reading
However, several other princes were not reconciled and gave up.
Now, the situation in the court is becoming more and more tense, in the end, they are all the emperor's sons, if they have not committed the great crime of rebellion, the emperor will not execute them.
The hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and they will never miss any chance to get involved in a new life.
At the moment, the emperor is still alive, the crown prince is just the prince, and it seems that everything is settled, but they still have a chance.
Even if the chances are slim, they are willing to give it a go, and even if they fail in the end, they will not regret it!
This is the temptation of power......
When Xiao Hanyin went back, Liu Qingshao was still waiting for him in the room.
"What's going on, what do you mean by Lord Wu?" Liu Qingshao knew that he went out and met Master Wu, so he was a little anxious and wanted to know the result.
"Lord Wu and his wife proposed to recognize you as a righteous daughter, all in order to use his connections and reputation to help us resist trouble!" Xiao Hanyin directly said all the previous things.
"I blamed them for their kindness, were they angry?" A hint of embarrassment flashed in Liu Qingshao's eyes.
She really didn't expect that the other party proposed to confess to them in order to help them.
"No, Lord Wu is doing this, not only to help us, but also to solve problems for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xiao Hanyin held her hand and said, "We'll go to Shangshu Mansion tomorrow with gifts!" ”
"Good!" Now that things have been figured out, Liu Qingshao naturally won't refuse.
Lord Wu is a veteran of the two dynasties, very powerful in the court, and the Wu family has a lot of heirs, and he can be regarded as an achievement in the court.
Once Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin are included in their wings, other people who want to move them as husband and wife need to weigh it well.
The next day, they went to Shangshu Mansion with a generous gift and recognized Wu Shangshu as their godfather.
This time, Wu Shangshu was very well prepared, he had been angry with Xiao Hanyin in advance, so he had already invited several upright ministers in the court to come to witness.
Acknowledging relatives is a big deal, and it must be done carefully, Wu Shangshu and his wife did this to protect them, so naturally it is even more serious.
After all, only when the matter of recognizing relatives is done in a grand manner, others will know that Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao are both people protected by their Wu family.
Liu Qingshao was grateful for the two of them, so she specially came to some special gifts.
Since people are sincere, she is willing to accept this love.
"Child, you have a heart!" Wu Shangshu's wife was very happy when she saw the things she had prepared.
When Mrs. Wu reached this age, she actually saw a lot of things.
However, only the death of her youngest daughter is a scar in her heart, and she feels pain whenever she thinks about it.
In the days when her youngest daughter had just died, she became ill with anxiety and almost died.
If it weren't for the fact that she was thinking about her sons who hadn't grown up yet, she would have gone a long time ago.
Some of these gifts prepared by Liu Qingshao were for young women, and Mrs. Wu understood what she meant.
In fact, over the years, every time she has her youngest daughter's birthday, she has personally prepared gifts for her, even if the person is gone, but she has never forgotten it in her heart......
Now, with one more person who is worried about her, how can Mrs. Wu be unhappy in her heart.
Liu Qingshao is really a transparent woman, no wonder Xiao Hanyin is desperate for her, and she won't marry.
The two knelt on the ground, personally served them tea, and changed their mouths, and the ceremony was completed......
A few days later, the news that Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao had confessed to Wu Shangshu was spread.
"I didn't expect that their husband and wife are quite capable, and they can catch up with Wu Shangshu!"
"Forget it, they are the prince's subordinates, and they are also the celebrities in front of the emperor, and now they have become Wu Shangshu's godson-in-law, we can't compare!"
"In the future, keep your mouths clean!"
"Don't worry, people are so capable, how dare we offend easily!"
……
After the people in the military department knew that he had become Wu Shangshu's son-in-law, their hearts were sour.
In the past, Xiao Han was hidden in the military department, and he was the target of everyone's exclusion, but now no one dares to underestimate him.
After all, the military department Shangshu is their boss, as long as Xiao Han has some eye medicine, they will all suffer.
Everyone was afraid of his identity, and they didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of him.
Some rumors about him in the imperial city have also disappeared completely, and even those in the court who want to deal with him secretly have been curtailed a lot.
Wu Shangshu looked like he was just an official, and the power in his hands was not as good as that of the prince.
However, he has been an official in the DPRK for so many years, and the means are not something that ordinary people can afford......
The days of Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao are getting more and more prosperous, and although others are red-eyed, they don't dare to do anything.
Seeing that Xiao Hanyin was appreciated by the emperor, and the general's mansion was getting better and better.
Everyone began to be jealous of Liu Qingshao again, especially those unmarried women in the imperial city.
They all want a husband who is both capable and dedicated like Xiao Hanyin.
After some women saw his kindness to Liu Qingshao, they gradually moved their minds.
Now a man like Xiao Hanyin is so good, it is rare in the world, if he can marry him, he will definitely be able to live a very smooth life in the future.
As a result, many women took the opportunity to design a chance encounter with Xiao Hanyin, wanting to squeeze Liu Qingshao away......
