Haitang and his brother Haijiao met again in the east wing to discuss secretly.

Haijiao was very worried: "What can I do about this?" Uncle Cousin didn't go in the oil and salt, but he refused to go to the high platform to see Master Tao. Grandpa Cao and Grandpa Lu were very excited, but they also had the same concerns as their cousins. It's about grandpa's future, and even if I want them not to worry too much, it's hard to speak. ”

He still hopes that he will be able to rise to prominence in the future, even if he knows that Sun Ge's old faction is destined to fall in the future, he must also worry about the current power of the other party, and he doesn't want to be really implicated. If it affects his plan to save people three years later, it will be very bad.

Haitang glanced at her brother and didn't say anything.

In fact, she felt that it was not so much that Xie Wenzai was worried that Haixiya would be retaliated against by Sun Ge's old faction for saving him and his friends, but that Haixiya was very worried that his cousin Xie Wenzai would be retaliated against by Sun Gelao for leaking his whereabouts, and his thoughts affected Xie Wenzai. Thirty-one years later, this concept has been ingrained in the latter's mind, and whenever they encounter someone or something related to Sun Ge Lao, the two cousins will subconsciously choose to avoid it.

Xie Wenzai himself was not afraid of Sun Gelao's revenge. If he was afraid, he would not have obeyed the order of the master back then, drafted that fateful recital, and personally presented it to the imperial court.

Hai Xiya was also not worried that his act of rescuing his cousin would affect his future. If he was worried, he would not have disregarded his career and willingly spent thirty-one years in the Northwest Frontier, even losing his only son.

But Xie Wenzai was afraid that his cousin Haixi Cliff would be burdened by himself, and Haixi Cliff was afraid that he would be unable to protect his cousin Xie Wenzai. The cousins were so worried about each other that they lost the courage to think about the problem, and they did not dare to take any risks.

It's normal for Hercynian Cliff to have concerns. He has no family background, he is a humble position, and a power-leaning boss like Sun Ge Lao is an unimaginable behemoth for him, once he confronts the other party, he has no ability to protect his cousin at all. He had no other way to deal with it than to retreat again and again, as far away from the Sun clan as possible. That doesn't mean he's a coward. If he didn't have the courage, he wouldn't have risked protecting Xie Wenzai and Cao Gengyun, Lu Bainian and other exiled officials for so many years.

And Xie Wenzai's concerns, in addition to being influenced by his cousin's thoughts, are more out of guilt, right? When he secretly arranged for himself to be exiled to the northwest, it was estimated that he was like Tao Yue, thinking that he would return to the dynasty in a few years, even if he asked his cousin to go to the northwest to serve as an official and protect himself, he would be able to repay this kindness sooner or later, and he would not let his cousin suffer. Where did he think that the emperor was too scumbag, he had been in the first class for more than 20 years, and he was so tired that his cousin left his hometown, and his career was ruined, and even his cousin Haidingcheng and his wife were folded in the northwest......

Guilt made Xie Wenzai lose his self-confidence, and many things, even if he felt that he could get more benefits by taking a little risk, he would directly choose to give up because of Haixi Cliff's worries.

It is estimated that Xie Wenzai thinks like this: My cousin has sacrificed a lot for me, and he is also worried about my safety, so he will persuade me not to take risks, how can I make him worry and uneasy? Forget it.

Once this kind of thought came up, even if Xie Wenzai had a plan to improve his situation, he didn't dare to say anything. Anyway, he has been living well all these years, with no worries about food and clothing; Serving as a counselor for the generals of the border army is equivalent to contributing to the country and realizing the value of life; taught two good students (Haiding City and Haijiao father and son), and they can be regarded as successors; There are two good friends Cao and Lu by his side, and he is not lonely for daily reading and recreation......

Xie Wenzai's various needs in life have been met at the most basic level, he is not an ambitious person, and he is disheartened by the emperor, so he will naturally willingly stay in the northwest and live a quiet life.

But is that the right thing to do?

Haitang has no intention of forcing this cousin out of his comfort zone, but according to the information revealed by Haijiao, in the next twenty years, Sun Ge Lao will be prosperous for a long time, and even cause turmoil in the court, but the Hai family has already offended him thirty-one years ago, and in a few years he will return to his hometown not far from the capital to live, once he is discovered by the other party, he may be retaliated against at any time...... Since she had known about the future crisis for a long time, how could she do nothing? Even if it's to prevent trouble, you have to weaken the enemy's strength and prevent him from threatening you!

Now the most likely help of the Hai family is Xie Wenzai's old friend Tao Yuetao.

This person not only has a good family background and a close relationship with the emperor, but he is also a capable and ruthless person, and he will completely step on the old faction of Sun Ge in the future.

He is also a loyal minister, and he returned to the new monarch early as a minister who took care of his life, and he did not commit taboos and had no troubles......

Such a reliable golden thigh, if you don't hurry up and find a chance to hug it, do you really have to wait for Sun Ge Lao to do a black hand on the Hai family?!

Begonia turned his head to look at the frowning and contemplative reef, and gave him a concise explanation of his analysis.

After all, there is an adult core in Haijiao, and he quickly understood the meaning of his sister's words: "The reason why Uncle Xie is worried is because he feels that he can't live in our family, so he obeys his grandfather's ideas in everything?" ”

Haitang nodded and said, "I think my cousin should think so." When he first entered the city, he knew that Sun Yonglu might find him, so he refused to even go out of the door. But his grandfather was promoted, and he needed help from trustworthy people around him, so he took the initiative to stand up. He's a dignified poiety! Now he is a staff member for his grandfather, but he doesn't feel aggrieved at all, which shows that he has put his grandfather first everywhere. ”

Hai Jiao's right hand clenched his fist and pounded his left palm: "That's easy to do!" As long as we can convince grandpa and let grandpa persuade my cousin, my cousin will definitely agree to go to Gaotaisu! ”

Haitang raised her eyebrows: "Then how are you going to convince grandpa?" Grandpa was most afraid that his cousin would be discovered by Sun Ge's people, how could he know that Sun Ge's henchmen would participate in the peace talks, and still promised to let his cousin go to the high platform? ”

Hai Jiao smiled slightly: "There are some things that you can't just escape. Grandpa will only be a cousin and uncle for the rest of his life, and he will be safe and sound...... But they still want to go back to Yongping's hometown! How far is Yongping's hometown from the capital? Once someone leaks the news, who dares to guarantee that Sun Ge Lao will not do it? If you are really afraid of these, grandpa should not have the idea of returning to his hometown, and honestly stay in the northwest. ”

But if you stay in the northwest, will the Hai family and Xie Wenzai be safe?

The Hai family now relies on the protection of the Zhou family. But in the previous life, the children of the Zhou family lost their officials one after another, lost the power of the border army, and as soon as the Duke of Zhenguo died, the Duchess of Zhenguo could only take her children and grandchildren back to Beijing to live. Although there is no Suzhou City in this life, Sun Yonglu has lost his official position due to his crimes, and it is impossible to get involved in the power of the border army again, but who knows what new ideas Sun Ge Lao will come up with to deal with the Zhou family? In case the Zhou family loses its authority again and it is difficult to protect itself, who else can the Hai family count on?

Haijiao didn't dare to tell his grandfather what he knew about the "future", and besides, things had changed, and the news he knew might not be accurate, but he knew how to convince his grandfather.

"I'll have to convince Grandpa to plan for the long haul......" he muttered, "you can't hide from it!" The Zhou family doesn't know how long it can last, and the Queen Mother is dying. When the Queen Mother and the Duke of Zhenguo are dead, the Zhou family will be slaughtered, and Sun Ge Lao will be able to live for another ten years. If you want to stop his scenery and weaken his power, you must rely on Lord Tao! ”

Haitang was very pleased to see her brother take the initiative to roll up, but she immediately noticed what he had just said: "The Queen Mother is dying?" ”
