King Qi has been under house arrest, and the most worrying is the courtiers who support King Qi, such as Xu Gelao.

When Xu Qingyan walked into the room, he was looking at Xu Ge Lao sitting at the desk and sighing.

"Grandpa, I heard the maids say that you didn't even have dinner today, so I sent some meals, grandpa, you can eat something first." Xu Qingyan put down the food box in his hand as he spoke.

Xu Ge Lao saw that it was his favorite granddaughter, so he just whispered: "Yan Yan, put things down, I'm not hungry now, I'll eat when I'm hungry." ”

Obviously, Xu Ge always has things in his heart, and he really doesn't have the heart to eat. Xu Qingyan stepped forward, offered a cup of tea to Elder Xu Ge, and persuaded: "Grandpa, are you worried about the affairs of His Royal Highness King Qi again?" ”

"Grandpa, although His Royal Highness King Qi is under house arrest, there is no need to worry about your life in the end, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Yan Yan, it's not that simple." Elder Xu Ge sighed lightly and said, "There is the testimony of the assassin, King Qi is burdened with the great crime of killing the king, and now he is under house arrest by His Majesty. In the long run, I am afraid that King Qi will always be charged with killing the king. ”

Elder Xu Ge sighed heavily again, and said, "Don't talk about it, even I can't help but wonder if it's a wrong decision for me to support King Qi." ”

Xu Qingyan was shocked, she knew Xu Ge Lao, as an old minister who followed the first emperor, Xu Ge was loyal to the first emperor, so as soon as King Qi returned to Beijing, Xu Ge was the first to express his support for King Qi. But even such old courtiers began to waver, let alone others.

"I'm old, the head of the official pavilion, my official career in this life is enough, my only hope is that our Xu family can last for a long time."

Xu Ge Lao sighed with emotion, "God can be regarded as taking me to be thin, although my son is not the most outstanding, but he is not a gentleman, at least it is no problem to keep the family business, but you are ...... Yanyan."

Elder Xu Ge's gaze fell on Xu Qingyan, "Yan Yan, you are burdened with the rise and fall of my Xu family, but you are still young and have not decided on anything, so grandpa has to plan for you." ”

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about Yan Yan, even if what the warlock said is true, then everything is destined in the dark, and what should come will always come." Xu Qingyan's tone was very calm.

Although his face is still a little green, Xu Qingyan's expression is old.

Xu Ge veteran Xu Qingyan's expression was in his eyes, and a trace of satisfaction flashed on his face, what he liked most was his granddaughter's composure and calmness. smiled: "Yan Yan, you can think more than grandpa." ”

"That's because Yan Yan doesn't have as thoughtful as his grandfather, so he doesn't have so many scruples." Xu Qingyan said with a smile.

Her smile is lighthearted, giving people a sense of breeze and moonlight. This made Xu Ge very comforted.

"Yan Yan, you are a smart child, grandpa is at ease with you, but you are different from ordinary people, if you make a mistake, I am afraid that you will ......" Xu Ge frowned when he said, and he couldn't help but say the rest of the words.

"No, it won't." Xu Qingyan hurriedly took over and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, what you are worried about will not happen." ”

Xu Ge Lao shook his head and sighed lightly: "I originally thought that His Majesty's prince would not be successful, and King Qi would be the most suitable candidate for the throne regardless of his ability and temperament. But he didn't expect that His Majesty was not only unwilling, he was not willing to pass on the throne to King Qi at all. Your Majesty is Your Majesty, he is the one who holds the power of life and death, I'm afraid King Qi can't fight him, if so, then should I also know how to be flexible? ”

Unconsciously, Xu Ge Lao also had the intention of retreating, if he did not support King Qi, but instead supported other princes, or was a pure minister with peace of mind, only loyal to His Majesty, and did not get involved with King Qi, would it be more beneficial to Xu Qingyan and the Xu family.

Xu Qingyan pursed her lips slightly, pondered for a moment before saying, "Grandpa, Yan Yan thinks that King Qi may not be slaughtered. Don't forget, King Qi still has the support of the Zhennan Royal Mansion behind him, and Yun Shizi is still in the northwest border. ”

Compared with Emperor Yongqing and King Qi, Xu Qingyan is more optimistic about King Qi.

"Although Your Majesty is the emperor, but Your Majesty is old, he can't live forever, one day he will hand over the throne, but there are few of His Majesty's princes, let alone the position of Emperor Dayue. Even if His Majesty passes the throne to his son, then who can guarantee that His Majesty's son will be able to sit firmly in that position? ”

Xu Qingyan persuaded: "Grandpa, you have also seen what His Majesty's favorite prince King Zhao looks like." Grandpa, what do you think will happen if Your Majesty passes the throne to King Zhao? ”

When it came to King Zhao, Xu Ge's face stiffened slightly, "King Zhao is good at the hands of women, and he is also a ignorant and shallow woman, so he will be more and more worried in the future." ”

Xu Ge Lao didn't have a good impression of King Zhao's mother and son at all, if King Zhao really sat on the throne, it would really not be a good thing.

"King Qi's talent is indeed above all princes, but ......" Xu Ge Lao paused and said in a low voice, "If Your Majesty is ruthless and asks for King Qi's life, then the last person to sit on the throne can only be Your Majesty's son." ”

Xu Ge has been a veteran for many years, and he still knows a little about His Majesty the Emperor, and in the end, he got in a hurry and killed King Qi with one sword, which is not surprising.

"Right now, King Qi is really weak, he is only under house arrest now, who knows if he will lose his life one day." Xu Ge Lao Zhengse said.

Xu Qingyan bit her lips lightly, and said hesitantly: "Probably not, Yun Shizi is at the border, and the princess is also in the capital, she will definitely not watch King Qi have an accident." ”

At the end, he explained: "Grandpa, don't you know, the princess of Zhennan Wang is the most intelligent, and with her mediation, His Majesty is not so easy to get." ”

Xu Ge Lao disagreed, and said: "Yan Yan, what you think is too simple, even if the princess is smart, she is only a woman, and she is pregnant now, so she can't take care of herself." Yan Yan, you don't know, His Majesty sent someone to spy on her, and she didn't dare to make any moves at all. ”

Xu Qingyan frowned slightly, and then smiled again: "Your Majesty spies on her, doesn't this just show that Your Majesty is afraid of the princess?" Grandpa, just wait and see, Yan Yan thinks that the final winner must be King Qi, not Your Majesty. ”

She felt privately that it seemed that King Qi was at a disadvantage, but it didn't mean that it was actually like this.

Xu Qingyan's words seemed to be a spell, and the next day, the capital changed the sky.

Zhennan Palace

"Princess, something happened." Mama Yun hurriedly walked over.

Xie Qing was embroidering clothes for Xiao Tuanzi, and was so frightened by Mama Yun that she almost pricked her fingers, and hurriedly put down the small clothes in her hand, and said, "What's wrong, Mama Yun, don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"For some reason, rumors suddenly broke out in the capital, and everyone was running to tell each other, saying that the assassin was not sent by King Qi, but His Majesty. Your Majesty assassinated King Qi and assassinated you, the princess, because Your Majesty didn't want to pass the throne to King Qi, and the Zhennan Wangfu and King Qi were close, so Your Majesty sent killers to do it to you and King Qi. In order to clear his suspicion, His Majesty even used bitter tactics to put himself at risk, just to cover up the fact that the assassin was sent by him. As a result, the Assassin failed to kill King Qi, so the Assassin confessed that the Assassin was the work of King Qi, so that King Qi would be charged with murder and could be left to His Majesty's disposal. ”

Hearing this, Xie Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "This rumor seems to be speaking for King Qi." ”

The spearhead was directed at Emperor Yongqing and wiped out King Qi.

"Everyone in the capital is spreading the word, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are also talking about it when they hear it, and the whole capital is like an explosion of the pot." Mama Yun said with a frown.

"Where did the rumors come from?" Xie Qing asked.

Mama Yun shook her head: "I don't know, Uncle Feng and Shopkeeper Fang have already gone to check." ”

Xie Qing rubbed his eyebrows: "Who released this rumor, this is to push His Majesty and King Qi to the forefront at the same time." If His Majesty is forced to be in a hurry, I am afraid that King Qi will be in danger. ”

"This ...... No......" Mama Yun was shocked.

She also thought that this was a good thing for King Qi.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is gentle and polite, good character, he is under house arrest, many courtiers have written a book, this matter is quite strange, please Your Majesty to investigate. Now that such rumors have spread again, people will only feel that King Qi is not guilty, and that His Majesty did it himself, and then imposed it on King Qi for the purpose of framing King Qi. Not to mention that it also involves the inheritance of the throne, who will pass the throne to in the future was originally a thorn in His Majesty's heart, and now this thorn is afraid that it has been pierced into the flesh. Your Majesty is angry, will you directly convict King Qi, or even give King Qi death? ”

Xie Qing's eyes deepened slightly, "You know, these rumors are just rumors, there is no evidence basis, but Your Majesty has the assassin's testimony in his hands, there is no doubt about this, Your Majesty is a king, and he has the power of life and death, if he gives an order and cuts off King Qi's head, who dares to say a word that is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Don't forget, Emperor Yongqing is the emperor, the first person in Dayue, Thunder and rain is Jun'en, who does he want to kill, who can still live? It's just that the emperor will also be constrained by the rules and subjects, and if the form is too much, it will always be difficult to convince the public, and the face will not look good. But if the emperor is forced to be in a hurry, why won't the emperor tear his face? When the emperor cares about what kind of face problems, what happens to King Qi?

Suddenly, Mama Yun's eyelids jumped: "Princess, Your Majesty has been guarding against you, will he think that this rumor was made by you?" ”

On the surface, this rumor is indeed good for King Qi, and according to Emperor Yongqing's thoughts, the first person to suspect is Xie Qing.

Before Xie Qing could speak, he heard a maid come to say: "Princess, Your Majesty's holy drive has arrived, please go and pick it up." ”
