Chapter Ninety-Eight: Bow to the Wind (Second Watch)
Chu Rong is the name of the king of Southern Chu.
Su Taishou thought so, and snorted, "They all say that he is a martial artist, but what's the use?" made a mess of Nanchu's internal affairs, so that the Nangong family has always controlled the government, and the relatives are big. ”
Xie Yuan shook his head, "The death of the county lord hit him too hard. He has not fallen down all these years, and it is not easy for Nanchu to remain stable. ”
Su Taishou saw that he said this, and he was Su Rong's biological father, so he didn't say anything unpleasant. He asked, "What did Xiao Qi say?" ”
"Xiao Qi already knows that the person who came to kill her is the person of Queen Nanchu, and I also told her her true background today." Xie Yuan said: "She is a smart child, she has never been forced to ask you and me, I originally wanted to tell her later, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen today." ”
Su Taishou's face was solemn, "Before Zhou Gu left, he told me that I should be ready to take over Jiang Sheng and go to Jiangzhou, he probably got some rumors." If we go to Jiangzhou, although Jiangning County is also under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, but in short, we have left Jiangning County, and I am not very down-to-earth. The killers of Nanchu now dare to come to a group of people like this, do we have to think of a countermeasure? ”
Living in a small corner of the country, sometimes it is easier to hide some things, his official position is not high, so he is not conspicuous, once he leaves Jiangning County, even if he is just serving in Jiangzhou Assassin History and taking over Jiang Sheng's position, it is still enough to be targeted by others.
"Do you know that Xiao Qi saved the prince two months ago?" Xie Yuan asked.
Su Taishou shook his head in surprise, "Xiao Qi saved the prince?" ”
He doesn't know.
Xie Yuan sighed, "I have been away from Jiangning County for half a year, you are really, everything has been hidden from that girl." ”
Su Taishou looked innocent, "That girl is a ghost and a ghost, to be honest, you and Xing can control her, neither of you have been here for half a year, won't she be even more arbitrary?" ”
Xie Yuan was helpless and briefly told Su Rong about saving the prince.
Su Taishou nodded after listening, "The name of the prince's benevolence is known to the whole world, the prince is upright, it is the blessing of the community, and Xiao Qi has the grace to save the prince's life, which is also a good thing." ”
Xie Yuan bowed his head and said that he wanted Su Rong to cooperate with the prince, "Your Majesty intends to suppress the prince today, and the rest of the princes are ambitious, the Daliang Dynasty is turbulent underwater, and the prince is struggling step by step, but in any case, he has been established as a prince since he was a child, and his foundation is deep, and Xiao Qi is beneficial and harmless to cooperate with him." ”
"How to cooperate?" Su Taishou had just recovered from Su Rong's life-saving grace to the prince, and before he could think about it, he heard Xie Yuan's words.
"The prince protects Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi secretly supports the prince." Xie Yuan said: "The king of Nanchu only has one heir, she is the identity of the princess, and one day, she may also become the help of the prince." ”
"Are you going to let Xiao Qi go to Nanchu to seize power?" Su Taishou's face changed greatly, "No, this is too dangerous!" ”
"Let's take one step at a time, if she doesn't go back to Nanchu to seize power, I'm afraid that the queen of Nanchu and the Nangong family, the Nanchu clan and those who have ambitions for the throne of Nanchu will not let her go. Now only one queen of Nanchu sent someone to kill her, if the Nangong clan also dispatched, then, only you and me, with the secret guards left by the county lord, may not be able to protect her, or we have to be the prince of Liang. ”
Su Taishou's heart jumped twice, looking at Xie Yuan's flat face, secretly thinking that he was not as calm as Xie Yuan, such a big matter, his face did not change, he took a deep breath, "There is a marriage in the Protector's Mansion, if Xiao Qi successfully marries into the Protector's Mansion, ......"
"The Protector Mansion is also a minister, and even if the prince is suppressed by His Majesty again and again, he is also a king." Xie Yuan said: "In today's situation, you can also see clearly, the Protector Mansion is also difficult to move an inch, and the old Protector has seen through His Majesty's temperament about early in the morning, so let the youngest grandson Zhou Gu Congwen." Zhou Gu has been in the East Palace for a few years, but together with the prince, he learned to govern the country. But what I learned is not to assist His Majesty today, but to assist the Crown Prince. In other words, the Protector Mansion did not stand in line on the surface, but behind the scenes, with a Zhou Gu, he had already stood in line in the East Palace. In order to protect the country's mansion, the old protector can be said to have made every effort and foresight. ”
Su Taishou looked at Xie Yuan, "So, what do you mean ......?"
"There is only one Protector Mansion, I'm afraid I can't protect Xiao Qi, even if I can protect it, but with the power of the entire Protector Mansion, why should people? Just because the county lord protected the beam back then, was it saved from the death of the old protector from the battlefield? This is also reasonable, the Protector Mansion will not shirk, but if there is a slight accident, the mistake will be made, and the gate of this hundred years will probably be destroyed in a flash. The county lord didn't expect that His Majesty would be so powerful in his later years to suppress the prince and be jealous of the Protector's Mansion, so he wrote to the old Protector and got married, but now, the situation is like this, and this marriage is no longer the best for Xiao Qi. ”
"But Zhou Gu, that kid is very good." Su Taishou likes Zhou Gu very much, "A young man like him is very rare, and there are only a handful." If you don't marry Zhou Gu, then Xiao Qi will ...... in the future."
"Zhou Gu is good, but I explored Xiao Qi's meaning, and she seems to have no idea of marrying him." After all, Xie Yuan knew Su Rong very well, "In my opinion, it's not that she doesn't like Zhou Gu, I'm afraid that it's for his good and she feels that she has a troublesome background, so she can't marry." ”
"If you like it, then marry." Su Taishou said: "Our Xiaoqi, all men in the world can marry, where can a Zhou Gu not marry?" What are you afraid of? It was that kid's honor for her to marry Zhou Gu. ”
Xie Yuan shook his head, "Old Su, you have such a big breath." ”
He said calmly: "Your Majesty is not Taizong and the first emperor, Your Majesty has great power, once Xiao Qi's life experience is known to His Majesty, it is difficult to guarantee that His Majesty does not want to use Xiao Qi, how can he let the Protector Mansion increase his help?" Xuan He of the Protector Mansion has come to an end. And Zhou Gu's kid, he was born in the Protector Mansion, even if he is not the eldest grandson, he also has the responsibility of protecting the family of the Protector Mansion, how can he be willful for love? ”
Although Su Taishou admitted it in his heart, he still said: "Your Majesty is indeed powerful, and the Protector Mansion has deep roots, so it should not be to the point where it is difficult to move forward, maybe ......."
"Why didn't the old protector send people to Jiangning for many years? Why did your wife write to ask him before he fulfilled the marriage contract? It is true that the old protector of the country has made a promise and will not regret his marriage, but for so many years, Xiao Qi's life experience has made him have some scruples, so he has not dared to move lightly. What does this mean? It shows that under the nose of His Majesty, the Protectorate Mansion has long been much worse than before, not the Taizu period, nor the Taizong period, let alone the period of the first emperor. ”
Su Taishou was speechless, no matter what the old Protector Mansion thought, it was a fact that the Protector Mansion had ignored it for many years.
Xie Yuan said again: "The key is Xiao Qi, she is not a child who is in love. Love and love in this world are like catkins in the wind, why can't you see it? Without care, one day in the future, there will be others, even if it is not the best, but so what? ”
Su Taishou was angry, "Lao Xie, what you said lightly, since you think so, why don't you marry for the sake of the county lord?" ”
"It's because I saw it that I could let it go, and I didn't want to marry again, trouble." Xie Yuan was very calm, "In the last few years that I accompanied the county lord, I have regarded each other as relatives. ”
Su Taishou choked, thinking that this was really the case, he was speechless for a while, and pointed at him for a while, "You, you, you...... What's so good about you teaching Xiao Qi to be the character he is today? Haven't you become a heartless and heartless person? ”
"No, not yet. She still has kindness in her heart, and she is also affectionate and righteous, as her adoptive father, how can you look at Xiaoqi's temperament on the surface? Isn't it a moral act not to let oneself fall into the wrongs of others? Xie Yuan asked rhetorically: "You also heard about Princess Qingping's daughter, Lord Duanhua, right?" Is it good to be so spoiled and lawless, selfish, and have only one man in his head, who has to get it, and is crazy, regardless of his own reputation, regardless of his parents' advice, and whether he has caused trouble for others, and trapped others in a place of injustice? ”
Su Taishou was speechless and deflated, "I can't talk about you." ”
This is the person who became famous in the first battle of the Confucianism in the tongue war, and he was willing to bow down.
Xie Yuan softened his tone, "Xiao Qi has been very assertive since he was a child, and now that he has grown up, he knows what he should do. What if something doesn't seem to be done right, and isn't the direction that most people in the world are taking? You and I elders can only take care of her from the side and make suggestions, so that she doesn't have too much left-mindedness, as long as it is not harmful to the country and the people, the rest, how to go, how she will live in the future, and who she marries are all up to her. ”
Su Taishou admitted that this was quite reasonable, he refuted wordlessly, and nodded, "Okay! As you say, so be it! ”
