Xie Ruqing is obviously not a compassionate person in the eyes of these juniors, they left quickly, like a crow from a nest, almost not giving Xie Ruqing a chance to ask them again, suddenly, the main hall that was originally overcrowded, except for the subordinates, only Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing were left.

Xie Ruqing's mood today was obviously not good, he pursed his lips tightly from the moment he entered the door, even when he faced Gu Ruosu, it was rare to have a little sadness.

Gu Ruosu knew that the reason why Xie Ruqing was in a bad mood at the moment was nothing more than that Xie Hao's family affairs made him worry, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so seeing that Xie Ruqing was already sitting on her side, Gu Ruosu still didn't say anything.

In the end, Gu Ruosu thought about it for a long time before she said to Xie Ruqing: "It's okay, the fourth child is a good boy who is loyal and honest, and nothing will happen to him." ”

After speaking, Gu Ruosu took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Xie Ruqing and put it in front of Xie Ruqing.

Just look, after Xie Ruqing took the teacup, he sighed lightly and said: "This kid is too loyal and honest, so he will go to Yushuxuan with that Nanban royal family at this time, I don't know, how many people are staring at them in secret." “

"Then isn't this matter a big deal...... Gu Ruosu asked worriedly.

Xie Ruqing nodded resignedly and said: "Yes, this matter has been seen by all the people in the capital, and it must be investigated to find out, but the Nanban mission is now angry, and everyone is shouting to let Yue Xiao immediately punish the fourth child." ”

"Can't they see that the fourth child is wronged? The fourth child has no grievances with them, where would they kill people, it's unreasonable......" Gu Ruosu asked puzzled.

"What's unreasonable, the real culprit behind this must have been deliberately planned.

It was the Nanban royal family who died, or the nephew of the current Nanban monarch, the Nanban monarch himself had few heirs, and most of the princes and princesses who had grown up to the present were also weak...... The future is uncertain, and this nephew will be passed on to the king of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom......

This time, we Dayong followed Chu Ci to Dayong, and he just accumulated fame, and there was nothing practical for him to do, but he didn't expect that he lost his life in vain, even if those Nanban ministers were all smart, but when they encountered this matter, they naturally couldn't care so much, just thinking about taking a murderer, so that they could go back to make a difference, where did they care if it was a real murderer......

It doesn't matter to them, it's a big deal to wait for the real culprit to be found out, and then kill them again......"

After speaking, Xie Ruqing sighed helplessly, and her worries about her son were beyond words.

"However, after all, a good family is your son, those people may not turn around and calm down, they will not be so aggressive, after all, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, besides, Chu Ci is your junior brother in the end, and the national covenant between the two of you is almost negotiated, if this happens, I guess, he will not sit idly by......" Gu Ruosu looked at Xie Ruqing's current expression, and also understood a little bit of the trickiness of this matter, so he said with concern.

Under Gu Ruosu's worried gaze, Xie Ruqing finally nodded and said: "Yes, the ultimate purpose of the people behind this is to hinder the conclusion of our Dayong and Nanban contract, so before I came back, I discussed the countermeasures with Chu Ci, and things will definitely not develop according to the ideas of those people." ”

"Since you and your junior brother have a way to deal with it, doesn't that mean that this matter is not as serious as rumored by the outside world?

Then why did you have a sad face when you came back, wearing a mask, everyone could still see that you were in a bad mood......" Gu Ruosu heard that Xie Ruqing already had a way to deal with it, and unconsciously felt a little relieved for Xie Hao's family, but looking at Xie Ruqing's still unsafe face, he asked suspiciously.

Xie Ruqing was silent for a while, and did not answer Gu Ruosu's question directly, but got up and took out two bottles of golden gold from the Duobao Pavilion on the side, put them in front of Gu Ruosu and said, "Madame, do you remember this bottle of gold......

This was the first gift I received when I was first named the Duke of Yan Guo.

At that time, when I first received this bottle, you and I were both amazed by this arrogant handwriting and the exquisite workmanship of this bottle of gold, and because this was the first congratulatory gift sent by the officials, it had a different meaning, so even if someone later gave someone a gift more expensive than the gold cup, we still remembered it and liked it very much......

I remember, there was even a time when you and I could say that we couldn't put it down, whether it was drinking wine or tea or even drinking water, almost people had to bring this golden cup to ......"

"Hmm...... I seem to remember such a time, but I remember, and then I don't know why, you put away these two bottles of lamps and asked everyone not to touch it, I thought it was because Hao'an was young at the time, and he played a lot of precious things, and you were afraid that Hao'an, the little demon king of the world, would be tossed away, so people put it away...... I haven't asked you about it since...... Today...... Why did you suddenly want to take this thing out......" After Gu Ruosu heard Xie Ruqing's words, she searched hard in her mind for things related to these two bottles of golden cups, and then said slowly.

Xie Ruqing then nodded, picked up one of the golden cups and said, "Madame, just remember." But...... At the time, I didn't put it away because it was expensive......"

"Why is that......" Gu Ruosu tilted her head and asked.

"Why...... Madam, do you know that these two bottles of gold are not actually golden, but they are two bottles of gilt that are made of gold and are skilled enough to be fake......

"How is that possible...... I remember that when the two bottles of gold were sent, you and I carefully examined its color, appearance, and weight, and it should be real gold...... Besides, you are the grandfather of the country, who dares to send you a fake money as a congratulatory gift......"

"What about Grandpa Guo, in their eyes, he is just a person who is in the middle of the road but has better luck...... If it weren't for the fact that our family is too squeamish and would be allergic to things like fake gold, we would probably have to be kept in the dark. ”

"The gold and jade are ruined...... But that's what it means......"

"Hmm...... The guy who gave us something was very immoral...... Can...... Does this have anything to do with the current situation......" Gu Ruosu didn't understand the meaning of Xie Ruqing's words, but looking at Xie Ruqing's secretive appearance, he also understood that there was truth in it, so in order to comprehend the meaning, Gu Ruosu had to cheekily admit his confusion and asked.

Xie Ruqing did not become distressed because Gu Ruosu could not resonate with him in his soul at this moment and understood the meaning of his words, but pushed the fresh melons and fruits on the table in the direction of Gu Ruosu and said: "I mean to tell you that the constant pressure on our Dayong by the Nanban Mission is actually not the most important, this is just some interference and power from the outside, as long as you take precautions, it will not cause any general climate after all......

The scariest thing is...... Our Dayong himself, now like this fake golden cup, looks like a fake golden cup, from the outside, prosperous, united, but in fact, in terms of our Dayong court, all of them are ghosts in their hearts, and they are ruined......

This time, whether it is me and Lord Deng and others being impeached by many officials, or the good family being slandered as murderers, or the many sudden objections and voices in the court recently, it is just the Dayong people next to us who are calculating us......"

"In my opinion, it is not easy to break something from the outside, but ...... If you start to break from the inside...... So...... I'm afraid this thing is not far from the end......"

Xie Ruqing's words finally made Gu Ruosu understand the concerns in his heart, Gu Ruosu sighed helplessly, and sighed quite emotionally about Xie Ruqing's current situation......

This is clearly just the cooperation between Xie Ruqing and others and Nanban, which touched the interests of those people, thus causing trouble for themselves and their families...... Isn't this just like Yue Fei, who was dedicated to the country at the beginning, and Qin Hui, who left the interests of the country behind for his own interests......

But fortunately, Xie Ruqing is not a loyal and brave Yue Fei, but a smart and talented Fang Xuanling, and Emperor Dayong is not the original Zhao Heng, but a bit like Li Shimin, who is bent on building a peaceful and prosperous world, Xianchen and Mingjun, have not had any bad ends since ancient times......

"It's okay, since the difficulties have happened, and they are in front of us, let's just face it, what's there, it's just a matter of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots to prevent the spring breeze from blowing and growing again...... I believe in you very much, you can have today, you have come step by step, now, the most difficult time has passed, now...... There's something else to be afraid of......"

Gu Ruosu thought so in his heart, but he had no way to use the example of Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin's virtuous minister Mingjun to create a prosperous world to comfort him, but looking at Xie Ruqing's frustrated appearance, it was inevitable that he felt a little distressed, so he had to stand up, walked to Xie Ruqing's side, and took the initiative to hug Xie Ruqing, so relieved.

"I know it all...... I know it all...... Gu Gu, I'm just, I'm just a little sad......

But don't worry, after a while...... I will still be the omnipotent Xie Ruqing in your eyes, and the 'difficult to deal with' living king in the eyes of others......

Rest assured...... Rest assured...... There is a way...... There is a way...... Everything is in a way...... I will definitely break this game well, nothing can be difficult for me......" Xie Ruqing hugged Gu Ruosu back, lowered her voice, and said slowly......

'I believe in you, I have always believed in you, and when I look back and find out the truth of this matter...... It's time for us to clear our grievances and show our strengths......

"Hmm...... yes, wait until Yue Xiao is done...... It's time for us to wash away our grievances and pay the price......"

When Xie Ruqing said this, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he witnessed Xie Hao's family being taken away from Yushuxuan in the teahouse, surrounded and beaten by the Nanban envoys who came over......

For the sake of the so-called diplomatic relations between the two countries, he had no way to directly protect his son from humiliation, but let his son be calculated by others because of him......

At this moment, Xie Ruqing has fallen into endless self-blame, he has no way to do something directly, he can only pin his hopes on Yue Xiao who promised him that he would definitely find the truth of the matter......

Xie Ruqing didn't know how long she had been holding Gu Ruosu and telling her suffering...... I only knew that when the noon sun moved its position, the birds outside the window returned to the nest, and the incense in the house was exhausted, he finally sorted out his thoughts, and after coaxing Gu Ruosu to rest assured, he tidied up his clothes and walked out the door......

Xie Ruqing pushed open the closed door, the water and sky were a quiet and cool breath, the sun was like fire, the sun was shining, all kinds of flowers were blooming in an orderly manner in the flower beds on both sides, and the quiet people in the courtyard were enjoying the cool summer, a quiet scene.

Xie Ruqing slowly raised her feet and stepped on the green bricks in the courtyard, step by step...... He resolutely walked towards the outside of the courtyard, but the moment he walked to the courtyard gate, Xie Ruqing couldn't help but glance back at Gu Ruosu, who was still in the house.

Gu Ruosu was still sitting in the main hall, because the door was wide open just now, the curtain was rolled up, the breeze shook the candles in the room, and the bamboo shadow was reflected on the wall behind Gu Ruosu like a beautiful bamboo picture.

Gu Ruosu found Xie Ruqing, she waved to Xie Ruqing with a smile, opened her mouth, and seemed to say something, but helplessly, Gu Ruosu's voice was not loud, so Xie Ruqing didn't hear what Gu Ruosu said, but Xie Ruqing still accurately guessed what Gu Ruosu said to him according to Gu Ruosu's mouth shape:

"Come back early, I'm ...... We'll be waiting for you to get home......"

Xie Ruqing finally said goodbye to Gu Ruosu with a smile, and in the end, reluctantly withdrew his tender and warm gaze, walked outside the courtyard, and closed the courtyard door......

"Master, an official messenger who had just arranged for Yin in Kyoto Prefecture sent a letter over, saying that the Yue Daren had only been in a long time, and he already had an idea and went out of the city with his people...... But if you want, the slave secretly sent someone to follow ......" Bingtang saluted, who had been waiting for Xie Ruqing outside the courtyard for a long time, and asked in a low voice.

"No need, this matter will be handed over to the capital government Yin...... I've got something else for you to do, come here......"

Bingtang respectfully approached Xie Ruqing, listened carefully to Xie Ruqing's instructions, and after listening, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he felt as if he had smelled blood at this moment......

"Yes, master, the small ones will be arranged."

"Go, don't feel cruel, everyone has to pay for what they do......" Xie Ruqing hid under the shade of the tree at the moment, making it impossible to see the look on his face, only knowing that when he said this coldly, it made people feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar in summer......
