Chapter 037: Scapegoat
Yan Huo grabbed Xun Yu, who was getting up and wanted to leave, and looked at Murong Pei, "She's not an outsider, let's say it." ”
Murong Pei was stunned and smiled his head.
He knew a thing or two about the past, although he didn't know what Xun Yu had done to make Yan Hui, who was deeply victimized by her, trust her, but he believed in Yan Hui's choice. In other words, he was ready to bear the consequences of believing in the wrong person.
"Not long ago, An Guiren had a miscarriage due to a dispute with Concubine Ming, and although his father was furious, Concubine Ming was only grounded for one year to show the orange ring. An Guiren was unwilling, but he wanted justice but angered his father, and he was also confined in the palace. An Guiren couldn't think about it for a while, and committed suicide by hanging the beam......"
Yangzhou is the richest place in the twelve states, and An Qingyi can sit firmly in the position of governor of Yangzhou for more than ten years, and he is by no means an idle person. The death of An Guiren is a trivial matter, and if this causes a gap in the harmonious relationship between the monarch and the minister, it will be very bad. Nowadays, the border is uneven, wars are frequent, natural disasters and other factors every year, and the treasury is empty. If An Qing was indignant at the death of his beloved daughter, even if he only used his hands and feet on taxes, it would be enough to give Murong Yao a headache.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable scapegoat.
According to the system of the Jokhang harem, there is a queen, two concubines, four concubines, nine concubines, nine Jieyu, nine nobles, and several others...... However, after Concubine Yue entered the palace, few show girls were canonized to a high position, and with the loss, so far, there are less than ten people above the fourth grade.
The queen concubine must not move, and among the four concubines, except for the concubine Ming who was stripped of the concubine, only Concubine Wan and Concubine Huan Nangong Huan. Nangong Huangui is the daughter of the king of Yeqin, and Jane is in the emperor's heart, so there is no need to say much.
Yan Hui's fingers tapped on the table a few times, and said in a deep voice: "So you chose Concubine Wan, who is still a concubine on the surface?" ”
Murong Pei said bitterly: "Yes." He took a deep breath, and determination gradually appeared in his eyes, still with weakness. You're right, I'm still holding hope, I'm really stupid. ”
As a prince, you can't protect Qing'er, and you can't get justice for her; can't help his best friend, but makes him worry everywhere...... If it weren't for the catastrophe that suffered his mother, he would not have come to his senses.
No, it's a reluctance to wake up.
When he was young, he was as close as an ordinary father and son, and the world was turned upside down in an instant. Holding unrealistic delusions, dragging down people who really care about themselves. He's so stupid......
"Luwu, please help me." Murong Pei said firmly.
***
The corners of Xun Yu's lips were slightly hooked, as if he was laughing at his stupidity. "You can't protect yourself now, what can you do to help him?" Yan Huo just seems to be noble, but his actual situation is not much better than that of Murong Pei, the prince of Transparent.
"Concubine Wan and my mother are Jinlan sisters, my mother often visits the palace, and I can be regarded as watching Murong Pei grow up. The reason why they fell into such a realm is also for the Yan family. I can't sit idly by. ”
Xun Yu was surprised, "What does her solitary confinement have to do with the Yan family?" ”
The dark eyes swirled with dark light, swallowing up all the light like a whirlpool. Yan Huo was silent, as if he was struggling with something, and after a long time, he smiled faintly and said angrily: "You will become the Yan family, so you should care more about family affairs." ”
Yan Huo got up, paced to the window, turned his back to her, and said, "My father is known as the God of War of the Jokhang War, and he will win every battle and be famous all over the world. Because of his prestige, except for the powerful Yelou Kingdom, no one dared to violate the Jokhang border. It is a taboo to be able to achieve high merit and shock the Lord. My father also thought about reining in his edge, and he also handed over his military power, but every time he had this intention, there would be a big battle at the border. Yan Hui turned his head and said sarcastically: "It seems that God does not want to let the light of a generation of handsome talents drown in the struggle for power." ”
"Didn't your father die of illness?" Xun language question.
"Sick and dead? Oh, my father has been stronger than ordinary people since he was a child, and he rarely gets sick. Fourteen years ago, my mother was seriously ill, and my father hurried back from the border pass, but was injured in a sneak attack on the way. The man's weapon was quenched with a strange poison, and the attack was extremely fast, incurable, and no clues could be found, as if he was really seriously ill and died. ”
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, and slowly spit out two words: "Emperor? ”
Yan Hui's face was extremely calm, like the sea before a storm. "The person who attacked the sneak attack was once a father and a confidant. Now he is the Governor of the Restoration of Vision. ”
