In Yilanxuan's study, the atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Su Xian, the old man of the Su family, was comforted by his wife and children, wiped the corners of his red eyes with his sleeves, and couldn't help but turn his head to the two staff members and ask:

"Mr. Yuan, Miss Xie, why are you silent?"

He used to be a rich man who fished leisurely in front of people and was completely absent, his face was sad and sad, some of the six gods had no master, and now he was backed by a pair of quiet wives and daughters, so he barely calmed down, and his tone also regained some of the momentum of the prince of the left clan.

To be invited here by the Su family for the first time, he must be a truster who knows the roots.

If it weren't for a stubborn old Confucian like Mr. Yuan, who resigned all the way and followed, he only did one thing.

If it weren't for Xie Lingjiang, who was sent by the corresponding Confucian forces behind him to protect Su Fu's safety just in case.

However, this can also show from the side that the heir of Wei Wangwei in Luoyang, who entered the palace to complain, was indeed falsely accused.

At present, the Su Mansion family has been looking for a lot of circles at the critical moment, and they have found two people to discuss secretly.

There is a hammer ambition.

Well, even if there were, it certainly wasn't much.

Otherwise, have you ever seen such a shabby entrepreneurial team?

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but glance at Su Xian more.

Uncle Su was indeed wronged, and he held a birthday ceremony lively, just pampering his young daughter.

She has a deep understanding of Uncle Su's contentment and daily salted fish, often going to drink fish soup and maintaining table manners.

What, what do you mean by "maintaining table manners", you ask?

Let's put it this way, as long as Xie Lingjiang is invited to the Su family's table and sits to eat together, the bowl of hot fish soup in the center of the table will not accidentally spill on Su Xian's outer hat.

This is called maintaining table manners, there are outsiders here, Aunt Wei is very enthusiastic and familiar, and the Su family's bowl is also very honest and will not fly around.

It is a reason to warmly invite Ouyang Rong to stay for dinner.

"Your Highness, the old man has something to say......"

Between the two, Yuan Xiangshan was the first to speak, and saluted tremblingly.

Seeing this, Xie Lingjiang continued to shut up and remained silent, and took a moment back.

After listening to it for a while, she found that this old Mr. Yuan, who was already old, was just saying some words of comfort and loyalty, and bluntly said that he had an old life, life and death together.

The corners of Xie Lingjiang's mouth couldn't help twitching.

However, it can also be seen that this old Mr. Yuan didn't speak just now, not deliberately not to say that he was selling off, or that he was as worried as her.

It's that the brain really doesn't have any strategy to talk about.

Yuan Xiangshan was just a Qingliu official, even if he was the kind of person who waved the flag to the outspoken senior brother at the beginning, the old gentleman didn't even do it before he resigned, and he didn't look like a "Wei Junjie" who knew the times, and he lacked experience in political struggle.

The reason why Xie Lingjiang didn't open his mouth was to observe the respective performances of the Su family in the face of the crisis.

This is also a seemingly inconspicuous little thing handed over to her by Xie Xun, and the father and daughter regularly exchange letters.

At the head of the study sat Uncle Su, Su Dalang, Aunt Wei, and Su Bao'er.

Xie Lingjiang's eyes under the long curled eyelashes were silently swept over.

Her brow furrowed imperceptibly as her eyes fell on the two men.

In fact, Su Dalang is okay, generosity and kindness are not all bad things, which means that he can listen to the words of capable people.

It's mainly Uncle Su, who was shocked by the accident......

She shook her head slightly, and when her eyes fell on Aunt Wei and Su Bao'er, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

It's just that his brows are furrowed even more.

Xie Lingjiang glanced at Su Bao'er, who was sitting silently.

This sister of the Su family, in the words of her father's letter at home, has three qi on her body.

Looking from afar, there is luxury.

Up close, there is calmness.

In distress, there is a murderous atmosphere.

This is still just a little girl who has lived in the ancient town for a long time and has just met the girl, if she goes to the prosperous Luodu, what will happen, I don't know.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly remembered the vigorous handwriting at the end of his father's letter: Although the horse of the tiger and leopard is not written, it has the smell of eating cattle; The eagle of the bird is not fully fledged, but has the heart of the four seas.

"Father has always been very accurate in seeing people, except for the senior brother at the beginning, when he heard the words, he met and knew the two of them."

Xie Lingjiang whispered in his heart.

In fact, in the eyes of Xie Lingjiang, who is also a woman, it is not unacceptable for women to be more brilliant, after all, not every man is as powerful as the senior brother.

In the past in the political arena of the Great Cadres and the Great Zhou, it was not that there were no strong and outstanding female aristocrats participating in politics.

But Xie Lingjiang also knew in his heart that in the hearts of his father and even many civil ministers, the situation of the emperor's family should not be like this......

Su Bao'er, who was silent, suddenly looked sideways.

Xie Lingjiang withdrew his eyes and did not squint.

In the open space in front of them, Su Xian and Yuan Xiangshan supported each other, and they didn't know what touching words they said, and the old monarchs and ministers wept one after another, bowing their heads and wiping their eyes.

"The old minister is a person of His Royal Highness, and death is the ghost of His Royal Highness, when the people of Luoyang Palace are here, the old minister is willing to imitate the matter of Legong and the king, dissect the heart and liver, and pay tribute to Emperor Wei to prove His Royal Highness's innocence!"

Mr. Yuan said with a stiff neck, his old face flushed, and his spit splashed everywhere.

Su Xian and Su Dalang couldn't help but be moved, and the latter hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Teacher, why is this so!"

Wei Mei, Xie Lingjiang, and Su Bao'er also looked sideways.

What Mr. Yuan said about the matter of Le Gong and King Xiang refers to the beginning, His Royal Highness King Xiangwang, who had just imprisoned the deep palace, was instructed by Wei to falsely accuse the villain of rebellion.

The Empress Wei then sent cool officials to investigate, torture to extract confessions, and wanted to be beaten into a trick, but among the palace people, there was a musician surnamed An who stood up and disemboweled in front of thousands of palace people, in front of thousands of palace people, in order to show that His Royal Highness the Prime Minister had no intention of rebellion, and the suspicious Empress Wei was quite touched and no longer doubted, and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister was spared.

At this moment, when Su Xian heard this, tears of emotion flowed down, and he raised his hand to hide his face, only to see that his sleeves were wet.

Su Bao'er suddenly said crisply:

"Father, Mr. Yuan doesn't have to be so pessimistic first, maybe the situation is not so bad, grandmother is indeed just a gift, and it is not yet known. Perhaps, there is another way.

"I see that Sister Xie is very calm, Sister Xie, what do you think about this matter?"

She suddenly turned her head and asked, and everyone followed her gaze towards Xie Lingjiang.

Xie Lingjiang glanced at Su Bao'er, and his heart puffed out slightly.

Her composure and calmness was taught by her senior brother, not because she had a good strategy.

The elder brother once said:

"Little junior sister, it's not good to be in this hurry, sit down and drink this cup of tea. Do you know what is the most important thing about being a staff master? ”

"Is it for the lord to come up with clever plans and strategize?"

"No, it's the steadiness of Mount Tai that collapses in front of him, even if he has to run away the next moment, the shelf has to be pretended, and the tea is drunk slowly, and only in this way can he run faster."

“……”

Teaching everything will only hurt you, big brother...... A certain Master Xie sighed in his heart, but he felt that Senior Brother was quite suitable to be a military advisor, and it would be good if he was here now.

Everyone didn't know that she felt sorry in her heart.

In the study, being watched by different eyes, Xie Lingjiang sat steadily, holding the letter from Luoyang in his right hand, shook off his sleeves, had to speak, and said in a deep voice:

"Uncle Su, in the letter sent by His Royal Highness King Xiang, it did not explain His Majesty's joy and anger about the birthday ceremony."

Halfway through her speech, she paused as a senior brother and nodded like a riddler:

"That's the biggest piece of good news. If His Majesty was really angry, it would not be possible to be so frivolous. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Su Bao'er couldn't help but interject: "It turns out that the sister of the Xie family also understands my grandmother's temperament. ”

Her eyes fell on Xie Lingjiang's calm and determined expression, and she said, "Did Uncle Xie say anything to Sister Xie in the letter?" ”

Xie Lingjiang shook his head and lowered his voice:

"Right now, the rebellion in Yingzhou has just subsided, and you also know the situation, the Wei family's children are not doing well...... Your Majesty's prestige has been greatly damaged, and if you choose to move you at this time, it is unreasonable to say that it is reasonable, and it is not to take advantage of the prestige of a great victory.

She raised her head slightly, held the letter between her two fingers, and gestured:

"In other words, Uncle Su, your most dangerous time has passed unconsciously. Now that people are coming from Luoyang, don't panic. ”

This well-founded, reasoned reasoning made several people in the room breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, a panicked voice suddenly sounded:

But Weishi is more motivated to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! In the rebellion of Yingzhou, the children of the Wei family did not perform well, and the king of Wei and the king of Liang saw the queen mother swaying, maybe they took a risk, and took advantage of the fact that the power was still there, and attacked the remaining veins of our family, they have already come to us, maybe even the king of the prime minister in the capital will be difficult to protect himself......"

Su Xian closed his eyes and trembled slightly, as if he remembered something again, or a nightmare that had haunted him for many years had come back again.

Wei Mei couldn't help but reach out and hold the back of a cold and white hand in front of him.

Da Lang was still young at that time, and Bao'er had not yet been born, so she may not feel it deeply, but she clearly knew that the series of things that happened to Qilang when he was abolished from the throne had a shadow in her heart, even if it had been more than ten years now, it had not disappeared.

Even late at night, when Wei Mei woke up from a dream, he often found that his husband Jun Qilang was trembling in his dream, shouting for mercy.

Su Xian's mouth trembled a little and said:

The letter also mentioned that the Xiangwang and their informants found that the Wei family also seemed to have sent people to Longcheng with the palace people sent by the queen mother...... If the two princes of the Wei clan are okay and send people here to do something, is there still a treasure in Dragon City? Or is it also here to give Bao'er a birthday gift? But it was clearly their slander that they were advancing behind their mother! ”

Xie Lingjiang's words were suddenly stuck, she thought about it, and nodded slightly, as if this was indeed the truth.

Xie Lingjiang looked at Uncle Su quietly, kept a calm expression, and opened his mouth to speak.

Su Xian walked to the door, held the door frame, and looked north:

"I have given up the throne, but you won't even let me be an idle prince far away in the remote south of the Yangtze River.

"Obviously, it was someone else who rebelled, but you were the first to suspect the sons and daughters who were far away in Jiangzhou, and sent palace people to imprison them day and night, and finally quelled the rebellion and collected the troops.

"Maybe the flesh and blood relatives who were conceived in October are just outsiders in the heart of the queen mother, and the nephews of the Wei family are your family."

He laughed and looked up and muttered:

"A Xiangshi once said, I look like Taizong, Changle looks like a mother, and the king is the most expensive...... You have loved Changle since you were a child, and you are closer to King Xiang, but you snub me the most, and you are also critical and dissatisfied with your daughter-in-law Meiniang and eldest grandson Fusu, and even openly said to the people around you that Fusu is very much like the eldest brother who was deposed by you as the crown prince.

"Mother, mother, are you so disgusted with the sons and daughters? Don't even look at your granddaughter, who may be more like Changle than Changle?

"Haha, right now, Wei Jinyan, you sent a palace man to send a pot of poisonous wine, right? Or a white silk? A blank decree with no words and no words to say? Let's make our own family more decent, and go down together? ”

These words, which contained the grievances of mother and son and the royal secrets, quietly echoed in the air, and outsiders such as Xie Lingjiang and Mr. Yuan were silent, how could they dare to talk about these at will.

Wei Mei, Su Dalang, and Su Bao'er became more and more silent when they listened.

Su Xian stood in front of the door, looking north and choking sadly:

"I just want to be an idle rich man, I just want to accompany my wife and children to compensate for my family affection, and live a rich and prosperous life in peace and stability...... Why don't you give me even that...... Why, why the hell ......"

"Shichiro, why do you say such frustrating things! How can you be worthy of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong under the spring? Wei Mei stood up and refuted.

Su Xian hung his head and whispered: "It's the descendants who have no interest......

"Uncle Su really doesn't need to be so pessimistic." Xie Lingjiang wanted to stop: "Now it is obviously a situation in which His Royal Highness the Prime Minister has the advantage, it stands to reason that the situation will get better and better, as long as it lasts until ......."

Su Xian shook his head and interrupted:

"What if you can't get through it? Not to mention the unknown palace people sent by the queen mother, Wei's coming this time is not for me, for whom? The queen mother even acquiesced to this, which is the most chilling thing.

"Niece Xian, you send a letter back, let your father inform King Xiang to be careful, send us away, Wei's final target is him, what situation is advantageous? If the queen mother insists on letting the Wei family inherit the imperial heir, can the king stop her?

His voice was weak: "Is this kind of single-minded thing happening less?" What happened as a result of so many unconvinced voices at the beginning? Cool officials and female officials have forgotten about cleaning the court together? Difuzi was demoted to the rank of county magistrate. How about doing it all over again? ”

Xie Lingjiang was silent for a moment and shook his head:

"If the Wei clan really dares to make a move, I will take you to hide first, and it is not too late to come back when the situation improves, I will send a letter and ask my father and them. It's just that I don't know who the Wei clan will send, and whether there are any qi practitioners among them. As for the palace people who were sent......"

She stared down at a line on the letter and read it softly:

"'Those who leave the palace, I don't know who they are, the people of the Liupin Palace', some of the words are unknown...... Do these six qualities refer to official positions or qi training, or both? ”

Xie Lingjiang is not very clear about the court female official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he knows that in the deep palace of Luoyang, there are tens of thousands of palace maids who are nameless and surnameless, and many of them have been practicing qi since childhood.

Looking at the quiet room, Xie Lingjiang suddenly said: "Actually, if there is a person here, maybe there will be a way, and he has the most methods." ”

Su Bao'er asked for her father, "Who?" ”

Xie Lingjiang's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "My senior brother, he will definitely do it." ”

Su Bao'er was slightly stunned, Su Xian hesitated, but still said, "Please come quickly." ”

"It's okay to go and please, but there is one condition, Uncle Su must do the senior brother a favor right now...... That's how easy it is for me to please. ”

Xie Lingjiang's eyes flashed slightly, he turned his face away, and waved his sleeves:

"My brother is not a casual person."

Su Xian sighed slightly, and the expressions of the group were different.
