Chapter 102: No Coincidence
Shendu City, Tang Mansion.
Nanrong Wenjun sat on the top of the main hall, and since she heard about the attack on the Rouyuan Palace, she had been sitting here anxiously every day and waiting. Although his father, Nanrong Qufeng, also came to visit the Tang Mansion under the pretext of doing so, his purpose was only to visit his daughter's style.
Why probe the wind?
Because of the attack on Rouyuan Palace, Tang Xiaohao was not only fine, but even took people to chase the princess, which shows that the kid is not a prodigal son of a disciple as Nanrong Qufeng thinks. Nanrong Qufeng didn't believe that his daughter Nanrong Wenjun, who was with Tang Xiaohao all day long, didn't notice it at all.
Therefore, it is not so much a probing as a reproach.
On that snowy night eighteen years ago, Tang Chen brought Tang Xiaohao back, saying that it was his illegitimate child, and Nan Rong Wenjun really wanted the child to die. However, after Tang Xiaohao risked his death when he was eight years old to find the green grass for the sick Nan Rong Wenjun, Nan Rong Wenjun's attitude towards Tang Xiaohao changed.
But Nan Rong Wenjun clearly knows the attitude of her father Nan Rong's style, so on the surface, she can only play the vicious stepmother who can't wait for Tang Xiaohao to die every day.
In a sense, Nanrong did not see through Tang Xiaohao's disguise, precisely because of Nanrong Wenjun's cooperation.
After the attack on Rouyuan Palace, Tang Chen did not dare to leave his post without permission, and always personally led the ironclad guards in the imperial city, until the seventh day of the incident, when the relevant matters were properly handled, and he was able to return home.
As soon as Tang Chen walked to the door of the main hall, he saw his wife Nan Rong Wenjun sitting there waiting.
When Nanrong Wenjun saw Tang Chen, he immediately got up, but he didn't know how to speak.
Tang Chen didn't know what his wife meant, and mistakenly thought that this woman was looking forward to Tang Xiaohao's accident, so he looked unhappy and just said, "Everything is okay in the house?" ”
Nan Rong Wenjun asked rhetorically: "Are you okay?" ”
When Nan Rong Wenjun asked those three words, although he pretended to be calm, Tang Chen still saw the anxiety in his heart: "It's okay." ”
Nan Rong Wenjun said again: "It's okay." ”
Tang Chen was just about to leave, Nanrong Wenjun said again: "Dad came here and asked me something about Xiaohao." ”
Tang Chen was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What do you ask?" ”
Nan Rong Wenjun didn't answer specifically, but said: "I took my father to see the side courtyard and Xiaohao's room." Speaking of this, Nan Rongwenjun paused and said, "Dad didn't find anything. ”
Tang Chen was a little surprised, in fact, when he was digging the secret room in Tang Xiaohao's room a few years ago, he realized that Nan Rong Wenjun probably noticed it, but he didn't expect that his wife was helping him and his son hide it.
Tang Chen understood something in his heart, and said sincerely to his wife: "Thank you." ”
Nan Rong Wenjun's nose was a little sour when he heard this, and said, "Xiaohao is also my son." ”
Tang Chen just said "um", said no more, and turned to leave.
It was only at this time that Tang Chen was really sure that his wife Nan Rong Wenjun was not a real vicious woman. Even so, he was even more worried. Because he knows very well what kind of person Nanrong Qufeng is, the old man who seems to be kind and kind on weekdays, thinks about everything from the perspective of interests. With Tang Chen's understanding of Nanrong's music style, if someone stands in the way, even if it is his own children, he can be poisoned.
Therefore, after Nan Rong Qufeng learned that his daughter was also hiding it for Tang Chen and others, even if he didn't know what to do, he would no longer have real trust, and the Tang Mansion would be completely monitored by the Nan Rong family.
For Tang Chen, what he is most worried about now is that Tang Xiaohao's true identity will be discovered, once it is discovered, not to mention Nanrong's style, even the emperor will not let him go.
Today's Tang Chen is extremely angry and worried, the anger is that Tang Xiaohao actually chased the princess privately, which is equivalent to getting out of his own protection, but the contradiction is that if Tang Xiaohao doesn't chase after him, the trouble will be even greater.
In addition, the journey is dangerous, Tang Xiaohao has never left Shendu City, and if his true identity is discovered during this period, all his efforts in the past eighteen years have been in vain.
More importantly, in Tang Chen's eyes, Xiwang Ji Hanguang is a more thoughtful person than Emperor Ji Chengying, although he doesn't know that Xiwang Ji Hanguang and Emperor Ji Chengying have swapped identities.
Ji Hanguang is the king of Xi, although he does not participate in the affairs of the imperial court, and he does not leave home without major matters, but his talent is reflected in the articles he makes and the firearms he makes.
Every time Tang Chen saw Ji Hanguang, he would feel a huge sense of oppression, but that sense of oppression Ji Chengying didn't, as if Ji Hanguang should be the real emperor. Therefore, Tang Chen was worried that if King Xi, who went to deliver the decree, found something, it would really be over.
Although Tang Chen can find a way to send someone to protect Tang Xiaohao secretly, although that is in line with a father's practice, but since King Xi has gone and has also conveyed the emperor's will, wouldn't it be equivalent to having no three hundred taels of silver here?
I can only pray that the kid is as clever as possible, and everything can turn evil into good fortune.
——
Shendu City, Jixian Temple.
Above the school, Hu Shen, who was dressed in the uniform of Jixian University, stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at the twenty children sitting below who were no more than ten years old, and said in a deep voice: "According to the soldiers, only opportunity and momentum. Soldiers have innate, first, first, first, these are the four firsts. After that, Hu Shen glanced at the children, "This is what I talked about in the last class, can anyone tell me what I mean by that?" ”
The children below seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact, their eyes were glazed, and most of them started to wander the moment they sat down in class, so naturally no one answered.
Hu Shen was not angry, but said with regret: "No one knows? ”
At this time, a child below got up: "Scholar, the student has something unclear. ”
Hu Shen looked at the child and asked, "Ask." ”
The boy asked, "Why do we learn the art of war?" ”
Hu Shen said: "The art of war is a strategy, everything in the world is based on strategy, and planning can be understood." ”
The kid obviously still didn't understand, and his eyes were full of confusion.
Hu Shen said: "Seeking design is born from the beginning, then changing, and then tired." This is true of everything. ”
The child was very stubborn: "Teacher, the student wants to learn the Dao." ”
Hu Shen smiled: "Then tell me, what is the avenue?" ”
The child was speechless, and just as Hu Shen was about to say something again, he saw Sang Luo standing outside the school.
So, Hu Shen said: "Recite the words I taught you before, read them once and if you don't understand them, read them a second time, and read them a third time if you don't understand them a second time, until you understand them." ”
After Hu Shen walked out of the classroom, Sang Luo knelt down and saluted: "Student Sang Luo meets the teacher." ”
After Hu Shen stopped, he turned around and glanced at the students in the school, although many students were reciting, they were secretly turning around to look at Hu Shen and Sang Luo outside the school.
"Get up," Hu Shen sighed, "Now these children are not as good as you used to be." ”
Sang Luo said with a smile: "Teacher, good talents are all one in a thousand. ”
"Good talent is indeed one in a thousand, but people are born different," Hu Shen looked at the children in the school with eyes that hated iron and steel, "Although it is natural to be talented, it is a waste not to learn, but good talent does not need to be taught repeatedly." ”
Sang Luo asked, "Teacher, the students also want to ask you what the avenue is?" ”
Hu Shen replied: "The avenue in everyone's heart is different, and the avenue in the hearts of ordinary people is three meals and four seasons, and the wind and rain are smooth, and it can be summed up in two words - life." After that, Hu Shen led Sang Luo to the garden, "The avenue in the hearts of officials is to find a way to let the people live well." ”
Sang Luo nodded: "Teacher, what is the avenue in your heart?" ”
Hu Shen hesitated for a moment and replied: "Do the right thing on the basis of conscience." ”
Sanroku was silent, because he was asking himself, did he have a conscience? He subconsciously looked down at his hands, which had been stained with blood since eighteen years ago and could never be washed.
Sang Luo suddenly asked: "Teacher, was what I did eighteen years ago correct?" After that, Sang Luo's voice lowered, his face full of guilt, "I, I killed a child with my own hands." ”
Hu Shen was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood why Sang Luo suddenly came to Jixian Courtyard, it turned out to be for the incident eighteen years ago.
Hu Shen began to wonder in his heart, why did Sang Luo suddenly come for that incident? It must have been something that caused him to start dwelling on the incident eighteen years ago, and the only major thing that happened recently was the attack on Rouyuan Palace.
Rouyuan Palace was attacked by a large number of armor, but Tang Xiaohao was safe and sound, when Hu Shen heard about this, he immediately thought of the incident eighteen years ago, although no one has mentioned that incident so far, and no one has studied it deeply, but there have been too many coincidences.
The biggest coincidence is that Emperor Shunhe ordered Sangluo to lead two people outside the palace to hunt down and kill the former ministers who surrendered. Because Emperor Shunhe received accurate news, the two former ministers of the former dynasty pretended to surrender, but in fact they were to protect the child with the blood of the Kunlun Dynasty left by the royal family of the previous dynasty, which is the so-called celestial.
Although every dynasty after the Kunlun Dynasty has to borrow the bloodline of the Kunlun Dynasty to make the world think that it is orthodox, most of the so-called celestials found are fake, even the Dachang Dynasty is the same, how dare they keep the real celestials by their side and continue the descendants?
Therefore, once the real celestial beings are discovered, they will kill them and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
However, on the same day, Tang Chen brought back Tang Xiaohao, who claimed to be his illegitimate son.
Could this be a coincidence?
Should it be a coincidence?
After the mission was completed that day, Sang Luo returned to the imperial city to report to Emperor Shunhe, elaborated the whole process in the Qinzheng Palace, and said that he personally threw the heavenly people off the cliff.
The extremely cold weather and the abyss make it impossible for a baby to survive.
What's more, there were two accompanying people outside the palace who also testified for Sang Luo.
Therefore, when Emperor Shunhe heard that Tang Chen had picked up his illegitimate son on that snowy night, a trace of suspicion obviously flashed on his face.
Hu Shen, who was still the great strategist at that time, saw the suspicion on the faces of Emperor Shunhe clearly, and both of them wondered if there was a connection between the two things? Could it be that the heavens and men did not die and were saved by Tang Chen?
However, Sang Luo is Hu Shen's most proud student, and Hu Shen can't doubt him. Tang Chen is also the most loyal person of Emperor Shunhe, and Emperor Shunhe cannot doubt this person who has made great achievements for himself and has used his body to block death for himself many times. Therefore, in the end, these two things were only regarded as coincidences and did not delve into them.
