Chapter 327: True Hatred
Shao Xi sneered with a gloomy face when he heard the question raised by Lao Wu.
"My thoughts are just the opposite of yours, just because he is the second prince of the dynasty, if he is handed over to the ministries and departments, the officials of the ministries and departments must be rat throwers, how can they be dealt with according to the law? On the contrary, I think it is more beneficial for us to settle this matter within the royal family, you must know that his crime is to plot rebellion, usurp the throne and seize power, is there any Lao Tzu, son, brother relationship in this kind of matter? The one who wants him to die the most may be the Xiao family's own people. Although the crown prince has been canonized for more than 20 years, Xiao Yuzhi's existence has always been a threat, and now I have come forward to prove that it is not only his existence that poses a threat, but a real action to threaten the throne and the crown prince, do you think he still has a chance to live? ”
Lao Wu lowered his head and thought for a while, and nodded slightly, he felt that what Shao Xi said was indeed reasonable.
Xiao Yuzhi's current direct threat to the object is precisely the current saint and the prince, if he is really handed over to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple, these officials are really not sure what will happen to him because of the royal face, but it is precisely the royal affairs to be solved by the royal family themselves, which is equivalent to the victim to deal with the murderer himself, and the result can be imagined.
But after all, such a thing as blood and family affection exists in reality, why is Shao Xi so sure?
"Are you planning to go to the Holy Lord and directly present the evidence to accuse Xiao Yu of the crime of conspiracy? After all, he is the son of the Holy One, and even if the Holy Lord wants to punish him, he may not take his life, how can you be sure that Xiao Yuzhi can repay the blood debt for the Feng family? Do you want to convince the Holy One in person? ”
Shao Xi actually laughed after listening to Lao Wu's question, he looked at Lao Wu like a fool, and looked at Lao Wu as unhappy.
"Ask you! Is there a use staring at me? Even if Xiao Yuzhi is punished heavily, as long as he still has his life, the revenge of the Feng family will not be avenged, if you don't hurry up and find a way, you can solve it by staring at me? ”
Shao Xi reached out and snatched the wine jug from Lao Wu's hand, raised his head and poured two sips, then threw his hand back to Lao Wu.
"As I said, there is no family affection in this kind of matter, and I can tell you unequivocally that the Holy One will definitely find a way to let him die, but the Holy One will never kill him himself, and what I have to do at this time is to find a way to let the Holy One put him in the hands of the person who wants him to die the most, and we don't have to worry about the rest at all."
Lao Wu seemed to understand Shao Xi's meaning, but he didn't seem to understand it all, so he stared at the two yellow eyes and was stunned for a long time before he asked Shao Xi, "Do you mean to find a way to let the Holy Lord hand him over to the prince for disposal?" In recent years, the court's evaluation of the prince has been submissive, and the scholarly anger is too heavy, and some people have even suggested that the prince's ability is not as good as Xiao Yuzhi, if he is really handed over to the prince, are you sure that the prince can kill his own brother? ”
Shao Xi clasped his hands on his shoulders, habitually pressed his thumb against his chin, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly to reveal a strange smile.
When Lao Wu saw his movements and expressions, he knew that he must have made some new discoveries or thought of something interesting, so he quietly waited for him to answer and stopped asking him.
Shao Xi was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Everyone underestimates the prince, he is not as simple as you think. A person who has been evaluated by everyone as such mediocre, submissive, and full of sour Confucianism has sat firmly on the throne of the prince for more than 20 years, but he has never let the saint move the idea of abolishing the prince. You must know that Xiao Yuzhi has never stopped in the past 20 years, with Xiao Yuzhi's cleverness, he has not been able to pull him off the throne of the prince for 20 years, and even began to prepare for such a thing as rebellion and seizure of power, do you think the prince is a simple person? ”
Hearing Shao Xi's words, Old Wu suddenly realized and asked Shao Xi: "Are you saying that the prince knows everything, knows everything, and understands everything, but he just pretends to be confused, pretends to be cowardly, and pretends to be incompetent, so as to cover up all his actions and motives, show a mediocre appearance in front of everyone, and deliberately make people despise him, but is this?" ”
Shao Xi nodded and replied: "That's right, this is called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, on the surface, it seems that Xiao Yuzhi is the one who is both wise and capable, acts in a high-profile manner, and attracts attention, but the prince has adopted a strategy of hiding himself." The more up-and-coming people are, the more they will attract the attention of others, and they are easier to be knocked out, so the prince has always chosen to keep a low profile, but being low-key does not mean that he has not done anything, and these two brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps. If Xiao Yuzhi falls into the hands of the prince, do you think the prince will let him live? That's why I think I can convince the Holy One. The saint wants him to die, but the saint will never bear the notoriety of killing his own son, so at this time, handing him over to the person who wants to kill him the most will be at most a fratricidal fight for the throne in the future, not a story of a tiger poisoning and eating children. ”
Although Lao Wu felt that Shao Xi was reasonable, he couldn't help but worry about Shao Xi.
This battle for imperial power was originally an internal matter of the royal family, although Shao Xi already knew that he was a member of the Xiao family now, but Lao Wu did not want Shao Xi to be too involved in the royal infighting, because then the final outcome would not be too good.
Now Shao Xi took the evidence of the second prince Xiao Yuzhi and ran to the saint to sue him, and instigated the saint to hand him over to the prince, so Shao Xi was completely involved in this internal conflict of the royal family, and it may be difficult to get out of the future with his whole body.
"Stinky boy, if you get involved in this matter too deeply, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out again in the future, is it worth it?"
"Originally, I didn't want to get involved, but since Xiao Yuzhi was the main envoy of the Fengjiazhuang incident back then, in order to make him pay the price he deserves, even if he is involved in this royal infighting, there is nothing wrong with it. Since my surname is also Xiao, sooner or later I will be discovered by them, and sooner or later I will be pulled into the water, and it is better to go down early than late, at least now I can make some plans in advance and establish some contacts in the DPRK and China, which is better than cramming in the future, right? ”
The expression on Lao Wu's face at this time was very complicated, and he said a little reluctantly: "Originally, you were the child of the county lord of Dongmu Kingdom, and this identity was criticized in Jingyuan Kingdom, but you are a member of the Xiao family after all, if this identity is made public, this imperial power struggle must be unavoidable." Back then, your parents just didn't want you to be involved in this royal power struggle, so your father handed you over to the owner to raise after your mother died, and also hoped that you could stay away from these rights and wrongs, but people are not as good as heaven, in order to avenge the Feng family, you still have to get involved in it after all, and you still haven't escaped this bottomless whirlpool. ”
Although Shao Xi heard about the relationship between Xiao Yuyan's parents and the Feng family before, including Xiao Yuyan's life experience, from Lao Wu's mouth, but now as a party concerned, he is indeed a little resentful of the treatment suffered by his mother and himself back then.
is also surnamed Xiao, why are some people born to be royal nobles, while some people are destined to hide in Tibet like a wild dog? Why are those few in the palace dressed in fine clothes and food, and both parents grew up, but as Xiao Yuyan, he had to foster others, and even in the end, his family was ruined, displaced, and had to go to Saibei?
is also a member of the Xiao family, but the treatment they receive is so different.
Since they hate themselves, they even want to kill themselves! Then it is impossible to move them by begging and complaining, so it is better to simply participate in it and let those who want to get rid of themselves and get rid of themselves to bear the suffering they have endured.
Give them back what they once inflicted on themselves, and let them know that the Xiao family they despise the most will be their nightmare.
When Shao Xi knew that the person who killed his family was Xiao Yuzhi, and when he knew that he was also a member of the Xiao family, what he hated in his heart was not only Xiao Yuzhi, the black-robed man who killed the Feng family, but also the entire Xiao family, and he even hated himself Why is his surname Xiao?
This kind of hatred has nothing to do with whether he is Feng Yuyan or not, what he hates is this world, what he hates is the hearts of those who are indifferent, cruel, and have no warmth and pity, and those so-called blood and family ties are sometimes more cold and ruthless, and they are even less than the warmth brought by a person who has nothing to do with him.
Feng Yuyan, or all the suffering of Xiao Yuyan, was brought to him by those so-called blood relatives who also had the same surname Xiao, what is real hatred? Being hurt by anyone in this world has the possibility of laughing and hating, but being so cruelly hurt by one's so-called blood relatives is the most unforgivable.
violates the conscience and righteousness of human nature, loses the most basic family affection and care, and even does not hesitate to act like a dog to the loved ones, and kills them.
Being betrayed by the so-called relatives is the greatest hatred in the world, because they give up the most important thing in human nature for the sake of profit, and the harm they bring is more terrible and cruel than the harm caused by outsiders who have a conflict of interest with them!
Shao Xi said in a somewhat cold tone: "What's wrong with the blood of the Dongmu people in my body?" Isn't it human? Since I am a member of the Xiao family, I have been involved in the power struggle of the Xiao family since I was born, otherwise why would I be fostered in Fengjiazhuang back then? Isn't it the result of the struggle for imperial power? Even if we hid far away in Fengjiazhuang, did we hide in the end? Isn't it still coming to the door? There are some things that can't be hidden, and since you can't hide from them, it's better to face them. Everyone has to pay the price for what they have done, how the Xiao family treated me and my mother back then, how they treated the Feng family, now they have to suffer the consequences for what they have done. ”
At this time, Shao Xi's hatred was truly awakened, and Lao Wu could only shake his head helplessly and sigh when he saw it in his eyes.
"No matter what, don't hate your father, he had too many last resorts back then."
