Chapter 411: Finding a Needle in a Haystack

Qin Zhidao was already in a relaxed mood at this time, holding the teacup and drinking tea leisurely, when he heard Su Shi have something to ask, he said casually: "Virtuous nephew don't have to be polite, just say something." ”

"How much does uncle know about Zhou Lin, the king of Chu?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, Qin Zhidao seemed to choke on the tea, and immediately coughed non-stop, coughing so red that his face turned red.

Su Shi didn't expect Qin Zhidao's reaction to be so great, and was about to step forward to beat his back for him, when his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Qin Nan appearing outside the door.

Su Shi couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and was about to step forward to greet him, but Qin Nan heard his father coughing incessantly, and his heart was anxious, so he walked quickly to Qin Zhidao's side and gently beat his back.

It's just that when he was in tune with Qin Zhidao, he couldn't help but glance at Su Shi, and there was a faint sense of blame in his eyes.

Su Shi had no choice but to spread his hands, his face became extremely helpless, and he signaled that this matter had nothing to do with me.

Qin Zhidao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Shi with a look of vigilance in his eyes.

"Why did the virtuous nephew suddenly mention Zhou Lin, the king of Chu?"

When Qin Nan came, he only heard his father coughing incessantly, and he didn't know anything about it before, and now he heard his father mention Zhou Lin, the king of Chu, and he was also shocked.

Although it has been eighteen years since Zhou Lin, the king of Chu, committed the rebellion, after all, what Zhou Lin committed was a major crime of rebellion, so Zhou Lin, the king of Chu, has become a taboo word, and Qin Nan really can't figure out why Su Shi mentioned this person.

Su Shi sighed: "Because I want to know what kind of charm he has to be able to let Pei Hyun assist him?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that countless thunderbolts sounded in the ears of Qin Zhidao and Qin Nan, and they were shocked, and they looked at Su Shi in disbelief.

It took them a long time to come back to their senses, but they still felt that what Su Shi said was too unbelievable.

"You said that Pei Xun once assisted the King of Chu?"

Su Shi nodded: "Master Kong shouldn't lie to me." ”

Qin Zhidao was shocked again: "Brother Pingjiang told you?" ”

"Yesterday I went to Master Kong and mentioned the Rebellion of the Three Kings during a casual conversation." Su Shi said slowly, "I originally thought that the rebellion of the Three Kings was controlled by Pei Hyun, but Master Kong said that there was another hidden secret, Pei Hyun originally wanted to assist Zhou Lin, the king of Chu, in the hope of changing some things. ”

Speaking of this, Su Chang sighed: "It's just that it backfired, and in the end, nothing can be changed." ”

When Qin Zhidao heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What does Pei Hyun want to change?" ”

Su Shi didn't tell Qin Zhidao all about Pei Xun's secret, so he couldn't explain it at this time, so he had to be vague.

"No one can guess Bae Hyun's scheme, and I don't know what he wants to change."

Although Qin Zhidao was at a loss in his heart, Qin Nan knew it, and at this time she looked at Su Shi suspiciously.

"Since the king of Chu has Pei Xun's help, why did he fall into the palace and be imprisoned, and finally die in prison?"

In Qin Nan's opinion, Pei Xun is good at scheming, and he knows the past and the future, and he will definitely be captured when he assists the King of Chu in fighting for the throne. What's more, at that time, the crown prince and the second prince had already been defeated, and there was no one to fight against them.

In fact, the King of Chu forced the palace to be an unsolved mystery for a long time, and even the first emperor was completely incomprehensible.

After all, as long as he endures for another half a year, this throne will be hisher sooner or later.

"Because of the crown prince Zhou Xuan."

Qin Zhidao Huo Ran got up, Qin Nan was stunned for a while, and the study suddenly became extremely silent.

"How can this matter have anything to do with the crown prince?"

Qin Zhidao only felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and he couldn't think anymore.

Su Shi had no choice but to tell the story of his meeting with Kong Wenshun last night, but he hid the secrets involving the life of the prince and Pei Hyun.

Qin Daodao was still in extreme shock, but Qin Nan had already completely understood. It's just that when she thought that whether it was Pei Hyun or the crown prince, everything was calculated, but in the end, she still couldn't change anything, and her eyes gradually became full of worry when she looked at Su Shi.

"The crown prince was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, how could he arrange to cause the rebellion of the three kings?"

Su Shi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "With the prince's eloquence, I believe he definitely has this ability." ”

Qin Zhidao was speechless for a while, because he was no longer able to judge what the prince had done.

The crown prince caused the rebellion of the three kings, which plunged Daqian into turmoil. In those three years, there were four killings in the capital, and everyone was in danger. However, after His Majesty ascended the throne, with the assistance of the crown prince, he made the great cadres enter the prosperous era.

Is the prince's behavior right or wrong?

Qin Zhidao thought for a long time and still had no answer, he shook his head, and let out a long sigh, so he had to leave this matter for future generations to comment.

"In fact, the king of Chu is also a virtuous person, kind and benevolent, so when he made the matter of forcing the palace, everyone in the world was in an uproar, and the reason for this is still unknown."

"Be kind and loving." Su Shi muttered, and also understood why Pei Xun chose Zhou Lin, but the will of heaven could not be violated, and the layout he made was finally cracked by Zhou Xuan.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive, Su Shi walked to the window and pushed the window open, and a fresh breeze came to his face.

Today is a rare cool day in the middle of summer.

The breeze blew into the study, allowing the oppressive atmosphere to be reduced slightly, and Su Shi couldn't help but look at Qin Nan.

"Why are you here?"

At this time, Qin Nan's face turned slightly red, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it, glanced at his father, saw that he was still in emotion, and finally said softly: "Sister Zhong sent someone to inform me early in the morning, saying that you ...... Said you were in a bad mood last night and seemed to have a lot on your mind, so you called me...... Tell me to unleash you. ”

Su Shi was moved in his heart for a while, and sighed: "Last night, I learned that the prince secretly caused the rebellion of the three kings, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, I just felt that everything was like fate, and I was a little disappointed, so I went to Yinghua to listen to the music to see if I could relieve the depression in my heart." ”

Qin Nan also knew the cause and effect at this time, nodded, and said softly, "I know." ”

Then she looked up at Su Shi again: "Sister Zhong also cares about you, so don't blame her." ”

"I won't blame her." Su Shi smiled bitterly, "It's just that she gave me a problem, and I'm afraid I won't be able to reply to her in a short time." ”

Qin Nan was slightly stunned: "Sister Zhong gave you a problem?" What's the problem? ”

So Su Shi told Qin Nan about Zhong Lingyao's request for him to help find his relatives, and at the end he couldn't help but sigh: "Do you say this is a problem?" ”

Qin Nan frowned slightly after hearing this.

"If you only rely on Sister Zhong's childhood memories and the plum blossom birthmark on her shoulder, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find her relatives."

"Who's to say it's not." Su Shi sighed, "But since I have already promised Miss Ling Yao, I will send someone to the neighboring village to inquire tomorrow." ”

At this time, Qin Zhidao's face suddenly changed, as if he had something to say, but he swallowed it back again.
