632, Clear
Although Mrs. Min has given up her identity as a princess, she was killed this time. Of course, this is also the mood of taking care of the Min family.
Rong Zhan and Jiao Yue came to mourn together, because it took too long to rush back from the border pass, so the person had already fallen into the coffin.
Rong Zhan knelt down and came to Min Huai's side, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Cousin, the festival is smooth." ”
Min Huai seemed to have cried, his eyes were red, but his face was resolute, but he couldn't see any other emotions.
He nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
Rong Zhan did not leave, but took Jiaoyue and stood aside, they are also related, and it doesn't seem wrong for Rong Zhan to stay.
"The emperor drove to ......"
The voice of the little eunuch came, and His Majesty came in person in civilian clothes. He didn't care what kind of Son of Heaven he was, knelt down to worship, and a few people went to help, and the emperor said seriously: "Actually, it is natural for me to bow down." You've all forgotten that this is my own aunt. ”
After kneeling, the emperor and Min Huai said: "The queen mother is weak and inconvenient to come, so she asked me to bow for her." ”
Min Huai said: "The Queen Mother has a heart, thank you Queen Mother." ”
Then he said, "Your Majesty, please go up and sit down." ”
The emperor shook his head and refused, and said, "At this time, where can I delay you even more, I will stay soon." In any case, we are always cousins, and if there is anything we need, you can tell me. Auntie's business, I will satisfy you. ”
Min Huai nodded and sent His Majesty out.
Zhirui knelt there, silent, quiet, as if there was no one in this room.
Walking to the door, His Majesty looked back at Min Zhirui, then sighed and turned to leave.
This glance seemed to be a little meaningful, Jiao Yue followed Rong Zhan's side, and did not speak, but pinched Rong Zhan's clothes.
In the afternoon, when all the people had come, Min Huai looked at Rong Zhan and said, "The prince asks for a talk in the study." ”
Rong Zhan followed Min Huai to the study, the study was deserted, he followed Jiao Yue, and Min Huai looked at her.
Jiaoyue was slightly blessed and stood at the door.
Min Huai said: "The princess should come in and sit, I think since the prince brought you here, there is nothing to avoid." ”
Jiaoyue looked at Rong Zhan and then entered the door, but Rao was like this, she suddenly didn't want Rong Zhan to say anything. Who can withstand such a triple blow?
She didn't know what to say, so she sat in her chair and hung her head as if there was no one like her.
Min Huai asked bluntly, "What the hell is going on?" Well, why did my mother die? Why was Xu Manning controlled? Did she do it? ”
Min Huai dealt with his mother's funeral as soon as he came back, and he didn't have time to deal with more things, and no one told him more inside information. He knew that His Majesty would definitely give him an explanation for this matter, and he could hear one or two in his voice just now, but his mood was still difficult to calm down, he wanted to know why things were like this, and he was not sure whether what the emperor said was true or false.
Rong Zhan knew what the emperor meant, and since Qi Yan had already left, there was no reason to say anything about the relationship between Qi Yan and Xu Manning. If this is the case, it will only be more harmful to Zhirui.
Rong Zhan is not for the emperor's reputation, he just thinks that Zhirui has regarded Jiaoyue as a little sister for so many years, and he has no reason to poke at Zhirui's scars.
"I didn't participate in this matter, but Xu Manning undoubtedly did it. I think that the emperor will hand over to you a living Xu Manning, what is the inside story, you can interrogate her. ”
After a pause, he said, "The left and right people will be handed over to you." ”
Min Huai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Since you don't want to talk about this, what do you want to say?" ”
Min Huai is very shrewd, he has been in the court for so many years, he has already understood a lot, he asked: "If you stay, there must be a talk, right?" Otherwise, it would not be a good time, and if I were Your Majesty, I would be speculating about what you are going to do. You risk staying, why? ”
Rong Zhan lowered his head, then raised his head: "Indeed, I have something I want to tell you." It's just that...... The moment I saw you, I was shaken for a second, and I didn't know if I should say it. ”
He laughed to himself and added, "But soon, I've decided to tell you." Your wife, Mrs. Ulanzhu, is a person of His Majesty. Someone who His Majesty put on your side more than twenty years ago. Uncle Cousin, although I don't know what the situation was back then. But my dead dad, you dead dad, we are the same. If there was a person who could sympathize with me back then, then I believe that this person was my cousin. So I'm willing to believe in you. We can't say what happened back then, but now we all know in our hearts that my mother was behind it. But who's to say that there is no praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind? Whatever your Majesty's purpose in doing this in the first place, you always have to be careful. ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Min Huai said suddenly.
Rong Zhan was stunned for a moment, then squinted slightly.
Min Huai was serious: "Her appearance has nothing to do with the war that year. ”
Rong Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then ...... That's it. ”
After that, Rong Zhan didn't say more, he got up and grabbed Jiao Yue and was about to leave, paused, and said: "I plan to go to the border to snipe Qi Yan, the regent of the Northern Han Dynasty, and at the same time, I will also want that woman to die." ”
After finishing speaking, he pulled Jiaoyue away.
The door was pushed open, Rong Zhan was slightly flustered, and Jiaoyue couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhirui......"
Min Zhirui looked at them and asked, "What you said, is it all true?" ”
Rong Zhan eased down and said nothing.
Zhirui said coldly: "What you said is true? You tell me now that none of this is true. ”
He grabbed Rong Zhan's shirt at once, and Jiao Yue immediately pushed Zhi Rui and said, "Brother Zhi Rui, even if you lose your temper with Brother Zhan, it's useless, are there many things that you don't have when you lose your temper?" ”
Min Huai came to the door and scolded, "Let go." ”
Zhi Rui's eyes were red, and tears were almost visible.
Rong Zhan said: "I dare to say, what I said is true. ”
He broke free of Min Zhirui's hand and pulled Jiaoyue to pass away with him.
Zhi Rui sat down dejectedly.
"Zhirui, come in."
Min Zhirui saw that Rong Zhan and his father had disappeared quietly, and speculated that there must be something inside, and it was for this reason that he secretly followed. But I didn't expect the result to be so helpless.
He stood there with his fists clenched, not moving.
"My mother wouldn't be like that. He must be talking nonsense. ”
Min Huai closed his eyes, half loud, and opened them to look at him: "Lord Yu is not lying. ”
Zhirui looked at him in disbelief.
Min Huai said: "I already knew. ”
Zhirui clenched his fists, almost bursting with green tendons, "You say...... You say......"
Min Huai said: "Your mother confessed to me thirteen years ago. She had her problems, but I dare say, she didn't feel sorry for us. ”
Zhirui's original heart finally let go, and he said: "Mother, mother, mother, mother...... Father, you know what? How worried I am, how much I worry that there is something wrong with my mother's parents. I really can't take it anymore. ”
He was a little depressed, and his whole person was depressed: "It would be good if I didn't marry that daughter, if I didn't marry that woman." Grandmother is fine, I hurt my grandmother, it's all me, everything is my ......"
"Without you, there are side things, besides, if we hadn't persecuted you in the first place, you wouldn't have married her."
Speaking of this, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Even Xu Manning was chosen by your grandmother at the beginning. I don't want to, it's like this today......"
Min Huai said slowly: "Moreover, I don't think this matter is simple. ”
Min Zhirui looked up, puzzled.
Min Huai said: "I don't know if you heard a detail that Prince Yu said, he said that he would leave the capital and go to Xiliang to snipe Qi Yan." He, why did he kill Qi Yan? ”
Min Zhirui then nodded: "Yes, he said that." ”
Min Huai said again: "In addition to this, even His Majesty's performance is a little incomprehensible. is good, why did Qi Yan appear in Daqi, and why did he go to Xiliang? Don't forget, he lived in our house. If it is related to the death of your grandmother...... I don't even doubt it. ”
Although everyone didn't want him to know what happened and the truth, Min Huai had been on the battlefield for a long time, and although there had been no major wars for so many years, there were also small harassments. There are a lot of intrigues in the army, and he doesn't know that.
Thinking about it like this, it can connect things, but it's also a bold speculation, and I don't know much more.
"This is something that needs to be considered in the long run."
Zhirui nodded.
"You're not a kid anymore, and after so much going on, you should know that there are a lot of things that you need to carry a heavy burden on. Who can be trusted and who can't be trusted, it should be more clear than telling you through me. ”
Although Min Huai's heart was as uncomfortable as a fire, he still used this opportunity to teach his son.
"Then what is the premise for my father to trust Lord Yu? Father trusts Lord Yu, and in the same way, I can see that you are on the same side. ”
Min Huai sighed abruptly and said, "First of all...... Is it because of a common enemy? As he said, his father's revenge, my father's revenge. Zhirui, why don't we carry less than you? It took us more than twenty years to find a real result. How many more than 20 years are there in life? Where can we not trust each other today? ”
Zhirui fell silent.
"One day, I will find out the truth about what happened to my grandfather."
