A ceremony of harmony finally broke up, Xie Xuan was a little depressed, but the Chu girl also asked to go to her mother's mausoleum to worship, and the Xie family was not easy to refuse, and in the end, Xie Daoyun and Xie Xuan took the girl to the Xie cemetery.

Xie's cemetery is also in Wuyi Lane, near a small hill on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, where pines and cypresses are planted, and tired birds can be smelled everywhere, and several clansmen of the Xie clan of Chen County are buried here.

And the latest two steles are Xie Shang, the general of Zhenxi, and Xie Zhenshi, the daughter of the Xie family.

As soon as the Chu girl arrived at Xie Zhenshi's grave, she began to cry, crying so that Xie Daoyun and Xie Xuan felt very uncomfortable.

Still Xie Daoyun comforted: "Cousin, don't be overly sad and tired." Otherwise, my aunt will not be at ease. ”

The Chu daughter wiped her tears with her sleeve and said softly: "Ah Rong has no mother since she was a child, and she is weak because of her physical illness, so her father did not allow Ah Rong to go out, and she did not inform Ah Rong of her life experience, three months ago, my father returned from the Jin Mausoleum, and he was often alone and depressed, always thinking about wanting to pay homage to his deceased wife in the Xie Cemetery, Ah Rong learned from his father the truth that his mother died in the Su Jun Rebellion, and only then did he know that his mother was buried in the Xie Cemetery, and he begged his father to allow me to come to Wuyi Lane today. ”

This is to explain to them why she has not thought of coming to the Xie Cemetery for fifteen years.

Xie Xuan didn't say anything, but Xie Daoyun took the letter suspiciously: "The deceased is like this, regret is useless, but Zhuangzi also said: people's birth, old age, sickness and death, is with the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but to be tangible into intangible, born between heaven and earth, since my cousin is not in good health, don't be more sentimental and worried, so as not to grieve into illness and damage the body." ”

Why is this a little unpleasant?

Chu's daughter stiffened slightly, choked up, and stopped crying, but looked back at Xie Daoyun, smiled tearfully, and said, "Thank you cousin for your concern." After saying a word, she looked at Xie Xuan again, but seeing that Xie Xuan's eyes were still looking at her with a little doubt, she walked in front of him again and said, "Ah Rong has also heard the name of the cousin of the Xie family since she was a child, and she has admired her for a long time. ”

As he spoke, a pair of slender jade hands stretched out to Xie Xuan, but he didn't expect Xie Xuan to retreat like an electric shock, and only said: "My cousin is delicate and frail, presumably I can't stay in this cemetery for too long, it's better to go back early!" ”

Chu's woman's face was slightly depressed, and she smiled stiffly for a while, before she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

A few people walked down the winding path on the hillside, and when they were halfway there, the Chu girl suddenly paused and muttered: "Winter night, summer day, after a hundred years old, return to its room."

Is this my father's handwriting? ”

Xie Daoyun and Xie Xuan's faces changed, looking for the direction where the Chu girl was looking, and found that there was an isolated stone tablet on the mountainside, and the words engraved on the stone tablet were the sentence that the Chu girl chanted: "Winter night, summer day, after a hundred years old, return to its room." "No one's name is engraved on the stele, but if you look closely, you will find that this stele is far away from the tomb of my aunt Xie Zhenshi.

Xie Xuan seemed to think of something, and wanted to get closer to see it, but was stopped by Xie Daoyun and said, "That's it, Ah Ji, just let it stay here!" The deceased is like this, suddenly, everything is in the past! ”

After sending away Chu's daughter, Xie Xuan and Xie Daoyun were summoned to the study by Xie Anshi and Xie Wanshi for questioning.

"Ah, what the hell is going on? Is Eleven Niang really my aunt's daughter? Or did my aunt actually give birth to two children back then? Xie Daoyun asked.

Xie Xuan shook his head: "I don't know, but the man personally admitted that Ah Yu was taken out of his aunt's womb." ”

It is taken out of the womb!

This sentence made the faces of several people in the room look painful.

"There is another thing, the reason why Uncle Cousin was plotted is also because the Yu family changed into an aunt."

"So, Ah Ji suspects that this Chu woman is someone disguised and pretended?" Xie Wanshi continued, "But if someone is disguised and pretended, why hasn't her father Mrs. Chu noticed it in the past fifteen years?" ”

This question couldn't help but make Xie Xuan and Xie Daoyun fall into deep thought, with Ah Yu's very similar appearance to his aunt, it was impossible for Mrs. Chu not to be suspicious after seeing it, but it seemed that it was ......

"Maybe it's not that I'm not unaware, I just don't want to reveal it......" Xie An, who had been groaning, continued, "Whether this Chu daughter is your aunt's daughter or not, her appearance will inevitably affect some things, such as the selection of the posterior." ”

"The third brother thinks that this Chu daughter is about to become the new emperor and queen?" Xie Wanshi asked.

Xie An glanced at Xie Xuan and asked, "Ah Ji, I heard that Eleven Niang once begged His Majesty for his life on Yuquan Mountain, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes."

Hearing Xie Xuan's affirmative answer, Xie An nodded, with a look of speculation and certainty, and said, "That's it, this can explain why the Queen Mother chose her." ”

"Pick her? What does the third uncle mean? ”

"Originally, the Empress Dowager Yu wanted to set up the eleventh mother as the queen, but Her Majesty refused, and the Empress Dowager chose some noble daughters of the Wu Sergeant clan as alternatives, all of which were not intended by His Majesty, until a painter handed over the portrait of the Chu daughter to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother did not hesitate, and His Majesty did not show as fierce opposition as before."

"What the third uncle means is that the queen mother has already decided to take the daughter of the Chu family as the queen, but why is there still news of the selection of the queen?"

"Yi's decree will be issued sooner or later, but it's just a temporary measure to save face for the Long Kanghuan clan."

Xie Daoyun groaned slightly, and then asked: "The third uncle said just now that His Majesty has always been very opposed to the matter of the post-establishment of the post, but why did he no longer oppose it after seeing the portrait of the daughter of the Chu family." ”

Xie An sighed and said, "Isn't A-Yuan still confused?" Your Majesty has affection for Eleven Niang! ”

Your Majesty has affection for Eleven Niang?

Xie Daoyun was stunned in her heart, this was something she didn't expect, but after thinking about it, with the talent of Eleven Niang, there are not a few Langjun who admire her, and this is not a strange thing.

"But just now the third uncle also said that the Queen Mother wanted to choose Eleven Niang as the queen, but Her Majesty rejected it."

"Be affectionate, but don't force it, this is the preciousness of Your Majesty, Ah Yuan, Your Majesty's mind is beyond our reach!"

After Xie An said this, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, thinking that in order to prevent Eleven Niang from falling into the hands of Long Kanghuan's family, he did something villainous to her.

Xie Xuan felt even more guilty in his heart, thinking of what happened today and at the banquet, he immediately ran to the Shen Mansion, and said to Xie Daoyun as he left: "Sister, that Gu Qiniang will be handed over to you." ”

But after arriving at the Shen Mansion, he was told by two maidservants that Gu Yu had gone to Taicheng Palace.

In the east hall of Taiji Hall in Taicheng, Wang Biaozhi, the left servant of Shangshu, Gao Song and Taifu Chu Jiye are all in the hall, and the faces of several people are not good-looking, and there is a book on the ground, which is Sima Yue's anger and threw it to the ground, and it is also the fold sent by Huan Wen to the people from his aunt.

"Your Majesty, Huan Liulang Jun Huan Che is just a white coat, even though Zhongzheng has obtained a second-grade exemption in the assessment, but he has no qualifications to serve as a assassin, Da Sima dares to take Huan Che as the history of Sizhou Assassin, but no one dares to govern the land of Sizhou.

If His Majesty doesn't want the Huan clan to be in charge of Sizhou, can he agree to Wang Huzhi's suggestion and take over Sizhou with Wu Xing Shen Jin. ”

Wang Biaozhi proposed, but Gao Xiang shook his head and said: "At this time, you can't scare Huan Fuzi's intentions, Huan Fuzi just moved to the town not long ago, and he couldn't wait to start his Northern Expedition plan, since he wanted his concubine to make contributions, then he promised him, as Wang Servant said, his concubine Huan Che has no qualifications, and has never been on the battlefield, who can guarantee that the ending will be as he wishes." ”

As soon as Gao Xiang said this, several ministers nodded secretly.

But Sima Yue's brows did not open because of this, Chu Jiye was good at observing words and expressions, and hurriedly stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, is it because of the fact that the Great Sima is worried about Wu Xing Shen Qian as the Sima of Sizhou?"

His Majesty doesn't want Shen Qianlang to fight in the killing field? ”

Sima Yue's gaze turned at this time, and he came back to his senses and said, "Yes, what is Taifu's clever plan?" ”

Chu Jiye was about to reply, but at this time, he heard a report from the waiter: "Shen's Qianlang asks to see!" ”

Sima Yue immediately turned around, raised his hand and said, "Quickly pass him in!" ”

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yu, who was dressed in official uniforms and men's clothes, walked in front of him, knelt down and said, "Minister Shen Qian to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Hurry up, please!"

Sima Yue hurriedly motioned for Gu Yu to get up, Gu Yu said yes, and saw a half-hidden and half-open piece of music placed on the ground, so he picked it up and looked at it, Sima Yue wanted to stop it, but when he saw her at a glance, his eyebrows quickly twisted.

"You are my teacher, the matter of resisting Hu is a major matter of the soldiers, and it has nothing to do with Qing, so Qing doesn't have to worry about it."

Sima Yue said a word, and Gu Yu raised his head and said: "No, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and the minister is willing to be Sima of Sizhou, assist in resisting Hu, and Murong Yan in the Northern Expedition." ”

Sima Yue's face changed, and he was about to object, but Gu Yu said again: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a word, and I want to talk to Your Majesty in private." ”

Sima Yue nodded in agreement, and immediately waved the people of the main hall back, leaving only a few guards to stay at the palace gate.

When there was no one in the hall, he immediately pulled Gu Yu up, revealing a look of regret.

"Originally, today I wanted to protect this medium for you and Xie Qilang, so that you can have a lover and eventually become a family, but I don't want to ......"

"Your Majesty, Ah Yu said a word that is not afraid of your jokes, the Huns are not destroyed, how can they be home, Ah Yu has already expected this."

"Then you ...... Xie Qilang"

"Xie Lang and I don't have to get married so soon." Gu Yu interrupted immediately, was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand and said seriously, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Da Sima Biao uses Huan Che as the history of Sizhou, which is a good thing for the imperial court. ”

"How?"

"If you want to take it, you must give it first! As the saying goes, the opposite, the movement of the Dao, the weak, the use of the Dao, Your Majesty must learn to tolerate everything now, and wait for the internal collapse of the Long Kanghuan clan before acting. ”

Sima Yue's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How can you make the Long Kanghuan clan collapse on its own?" ”
