The reef followed her sister's line of sight and instantly understood her thoughts.

"Yes, Uncle Cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu are all friends of Master Tao...... Hai Jiao thought thoughtfully, "Although it was a friendship more than thirty years ago, it sounds like they had a good relationship back then." If Uncle Cousin is willing to return to the court as officials, he will definitely be able to help Master Tao! He was well aware of the knowledge and talents of these three elders, and he couldn't help but be eager to try.

Haitang blinked and said, "My cousin has always been reluctant to go back, as if he was disappointed in the emperor and didn't want to work for him." ”

Haijiao sighed: "When my cousin was in high school to explore flowers, he was not yet a weak crown, but he was asked by the master to write a book, which annoyed Sun Ge Lao. The emperor should know that he was very wronged, but he didn't embarrass Wu Shangshu, and only took him a little Hanlin to get by. He was exiled to the frontier in his prime years, wasted half his life, without a wife and no children...... If it were me, I would have been disappointed in the Emperor. ”

Haitang thought to herself, even if Uncle Xie had complained about Wu Shangshu, then he was also his teacher, and in this era, the relationship between teachers and students is always different. Listening to the information revealed by his brother, Wu Shangshu died in the twentieth year of Deguang, and even the Empress Wu in the palace and the prince she gave birth to died unexplained. Not only did the emperor not hold the suspected Sun family accountable, but he still seemed to be as fond of Sun Guifei as before. How can a man endure this?

Wu Shangshu has made meritorious contributions to supporting the establishment, although his character is not good, but he has not committed any unforgivable crimes. The emperor looked at him unpleasantly, just degraded the official and snubbed him, and sat back and watched the Wu family die, which was too ruthless. Empress Wu's mother and son are the same. No matter how much the emperor dotes on Sun Guifei, he can't risk his wife's life to please his lover, right? The prince born to Empress Wu is his own flesh and blood. Even disregarding the lives of his own flesh and blood, does this emperor still have humanity in his heart?

A narrow-minded, mean-hearted, ruthless emperor, a bit of a temperamental literati, who wants to give him his life?

If it weren't for Tao Yue being the only person in the emperor's mother's family who could handle it, and he still needed to support the family lintel, he probably wouldn't be willing to serve the emperor. Just like Uncle Xie said, Tao Yue's family background, talents and resume, if he has a career, he will definitely not stop at the Honglu Temple of the fourth grade in 31 years. He would be content with such a quiet position, but he would just be happy with it.

Thinking of this, Haitang said to Haijiao: "Although my brother really wants my cousin to help me help Master Tao, if my cousin is really unhappy, we can't force it." ”

Hai Jiao pursed his lips: "Uncle Cousin is not willing to work for the emperor, but he still helps his grandfather with official business, and in the northwest over the years, he has also helped the counselor military aircraft." Isn't this a contribution to the emperor and the court? It can be seen that although Uncle Cousin hates the emperor, he still looks forward to the peace of the country and the people. If it weren't for the peace of the frontier, he wouldn't have had to work so hard. ”

Haijiao believes that Uncle Xie is unwilling to die for the emperor, but he may not be unwilling to die for the people of the world and help his friends!

Uncle Xie is obviously talented, if he really wastes his life, it will be a pity! If he can join forces with Lord Tao Yue Tao to defeat the old faction of Sun Pavilion and support the new monarch to succeed to the throne smoothly, then the next twenty years of Great Chu will definitely not be as chaotic as in the previous life, let alone die so many innocent people!

He began to think about one thing: "Shall I tell my cousin about being born again?" If Uncle Tao knew that in his previous life, Lord Tao supported the overall situation alone, and died of illness due to hard work, he would definitely not be able to bear to see Lord Tao die of exhaustion again in this life! ”

Haitang had to persuade him bitterly: "Brother calm down! If you tell the elders about this, it's going to be too much. You have to think about it! If it was just for Uncle Cousin and them to help Master Tao, there was another way to do it, and there was no need for you to tell the biggest secret in your heart. ”

Hai Jiao hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Haitang thought for a while: "We don't know what Master Tao thinks in his heart. Uncle Cousin, although they and Master Tao were once friends, that was thirty-one years ago after all. Thirty-one years ago, Master Tao was willing to help his cousin and uncle, and thirty-one years later, does he still remember these old friends? Why don't we wait and see if Master Tao will meet Uncle Cousin during the negotiation with Hu Ren when he is the chief envoy of the peace talks, right? If he still remembered a few old friends, maybe he would take the initiative to invite his cousin and uncle to return to the court? ”

"This ......," Haijiao hesitated a little, "Gaotaisu is nearly two hundred miles away from Suzhou City...... As the leader of the peace talks, Master Tao is afraid that it will not be easy to leave, right? ”

It's easy to do. Tao Yue is not easy to leave the Gaotai Institute, but it is not difficult for Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian to go to the Gaotai Institute. As long as they have the permission of General Wednesday and General Gu, the three of them can find a reason to go to Gaotai to visit their old friends who have not seen each other for many years.

"Is my cousin's guild going?" Haijiao remembered that Xie Wenzai never left the Hai family's actions, let alone went out alone.

Haitang is quite confident: "For the former friends who once helped me a lot, my cousin hasn't seen each other for 31 years, and now that he has the opportunity, how can he not meet?" Lord Tao may not know that Uncle Cousin is in Suzhou, but Uncle Cousin only needs to spend a little effort to see Lord Tao. Although Uncle Cousin has decided to go back to Yongping with our family, and Yongping is not far from the capital, just a few days by car, but the capital is the territory of Sun Gelao, whether it is Uncle Cousin going to the capital, or Master Tao going to Yongping, it is too conspicuous and easy to attract the attention of others. In contrast, the high platform is much safer. It's impossible for my cousin not to go. Even if he had any concerns, Grandpa Cao and Grandpa Lu would dispel his concerns. ”

Hai Jiao couldn't help but be moved: "I will find a way to persuade my cousin and uncle to be an old man...... Let's just assume that I'm interested in peace talks. As long as you can say that your cousin will go to the Gaotai Institute, the rest of the matter will be easy to do. He didn't know that his cousin had a relationship with Lord Tao Yue, but now that he knew, he really wanted to do something. He knows that he is a small person, but he lives a lifetime, how many people in the world can have such an experience as him? God gave him a second life, not just so that he could live a prosperous and smooth life in this life.

Perhaps, God also felt that the court should have been more stable, the traitorous ministers should have fallen earlier, and the loyal ministers and good generals should have lived a few more years......

In the past, he couldn't do anything, but now he has the opportunity to catch up with Master Tao Yue Tao and contribute to Master Tao...... If he doesn't do anything, he won't be able to get over it in his heart!

Haijiao secretly clenched his fists, and infinite courage welled up in his chest.

At this moment, his sister Haitang grabbed him: "Now, we only have two problems left to solve. ”

Haijiao was stunned: "What's the problem?" ”

"First, does Lord Tao Yue Tao still remember Uncle Xie and them, and is he willing to invite Uncle Cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu to return to the court to help him?"

Reef swallowed. Yes, it's been thirty-one years, if Lord Tao Yue has forgotten the old friends from many years ago, then how can Uncle Xie talk about returning to the capital and affecting the court situation?

"Second ......" Haitang stretched out two fingers, "Whether it is Suzhou, Ganzhou, or Gaotai, where the peace talks were held, these places are currently under the control of the Zhou family." What is the relationship between Master Tao and the Zhou family? Will the Zhou family welcome Master Tao? What does Master Tao think of the Zhou family? When my cousin goes to see Master Tao, how will the Zhou family react? ”

The reef suddenly went numb. How could he have forgotten?

Empress Dowager Zhou refused to posthumously crown Concubine Tao Hui as the Queen Mother, Tao Yue, as the nephew of Concubine Tao Hui, really has no complaints about the Zhou family?
