Chapter 101: Death of Father and Son

Seeing that Yan Yuguang, whose right half of his body was completely unable to move, was holding on, almost slumped on a wide high-backed armchair to meet him, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and his opinion of this Xiangguo Marquis suddenly changed greatly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A few days ago, when he saw Yan Yuguang who came to the door for the first time in the palace of Prince Ding, Haoxing Mingrui had some contempt for this Marquis of Xiangguo in his heart. I just feel that this person's popularity is small and extremely short-sighted, and his words and deeds are a little stupid and ridiculous, and he really doesn't have the bearing and mind that a former right minister should have.

Coupled with the fact that he had heard from others about how the former right-hand minister broke his leg while fleeing for his life, he could not help but have a preconceived impression of him - this person must be a weak and cowardly person.

However, at this time, seeing that Yan Yuguang endured the pain so strongly, and also kept his dignity to face himself, Haoxing Mingrui knew that the person in front of him was not stupid, let alone weak, and if he wanted to achieve the purpose of this trip today, he was afraid that it would take a lot of effort.

However, although his heart was turning those ulterior thoughts, the words he said were extremely polite and polite: "Yan Hou is in poor health, just rest on the couch, why are you still sitting here so hard? In this way, it makes this king feel even more guilty, and he really shouldn't come to disturb him at this time!"

Probably plagued by illness, Yan Yuguang was a little slurred when he spoke, but the general idea could still be understood, "The prince deigned to come to visit the patient, and Wei Chen felt five guilty, but this disabled body can't meet each other with courtesy, and I hope the prince will forgive me!"

Although this time the king came to visit the sick on behalf of the emperor, in fact, the king was also extremely concerned about Yan Hou in his heart. After all, you and I have been ministers in the same palace, and we have the friendship of relatives, and your illness has made this king very worried, and how can you rest assured if you don't come to visit it yourself?"

Listening to Haoxing Mingrui's extremely hypocritical words, Yan Yuguang's eyes unabashedly showed a trace of mockery, "Presumably, it's not me Yan Yuguang who can't reassure the prince, but someone else, right?"

Haoxing Mingrui was confronted by him like this, not only was he not annoyed, but he smiled slightly, and said: "Since Yan Hou doesn't like to be false, then the king will also be blunt." It seems that in the past few days of meditation in the mansion, Yan Hou has sorted out the causes and consequences of this whole thing.

As you guessed correctly, this whole thing is indeed a bureau that has been set up a long time ago, and the purpose is to force Yan Hou to tell you the names of those who colluded with King Ji and intended to rebel, as well as all the evidence of their private dealings with King Ji. ”

"Then what are the conditions set by the emperor for this?" Yan Yuguang didn't say much nonsense, and went straight to the point, without the slightest hesitation and hesitation of the weak-tempered person.

"A life for the Son. Seeing him like this, Haoxing Mingrui also got up.

Yan Yuguang seemed to have expected such a result, and asked with an impassive expression, "What about King Ji?"

Haoxing Mingrui smiled, "What does Yan Hou hope will happen to King Ji?"

It was only at this time that Yan Yuguang raised his eyes and carefully looked at the Prince Ding who was sitting in front of him, "Even if you die, it is better than ending up like the real Prince Ding!"

Hearing this, Haoxing Mingrui was not surprised. Because he had already seen that from the first time he saw Yan Yuguang, this Marquis of Xiangguo, who had been in the same palace as the original Prince Ding, had already doubted his identity.

It's just that most of Yan Yuguang's thoughts were on his son at that time, and after all, he hadn't seen Prince Ding for many years, and he wasn't sure if his judgment was correct.

However, when things gradually became clear, especially when Yan Yuguang realized that he had fallen into the trap of the emperor, and then thought of the suspicious Prince Ding, he naturally confirmed his previous suspicions - this so-called Prince Ding was actually a fake puppet raised by the emperor.

And Haoxing Mingrui has also seen that the reason why Yan Yuguang chose to find out the truth in person at this time was not out of reckless behavior of anger, but because he already had his own plans in his heart.

"It turns out that Yan Hou has thought it through, so there is no need for this king to say more!" Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but sigh.

"If you don't hand over the roster, the son will die, and if you hand over the roster, I will die. Since one of our fathers and sons must die, it should naturally be me, after all, the incense of the Yan family must always be passed on. ”

"Since you have already guessed that King Ji will kill you, why should you care about what will happen to him?"

"I didn't keep my oath, and he deserved to kill me. But after all, he is related to me by blood, and it is normal for me to care about him. ”

Haoxing Mingrui sneered, "This is strange! You, the person with the foreign surname of your uncle, actually care about the cannibalism of other fathers and sons! Yan Hou has such idleness, why don't you spend more time to discipline your son well, and you won't end up with the death of your father and son like today!"

Yan Yuguang's face was full of gloom, "It is precisely because Xingbao has been imprisoned this time that I finally woke up to the fact that the reason why he is today is all due to my father! At the beginning, for the sake of fame and profit, and for the rise and fall of the Yan clan, I spent all my thoughts on those things that now seem worthless, but I only ignored the most important treasure in this life - the only son left to me by my wife who died early. Seeing that my son has become so unbearable, I can't help but think of the emperor's son, and I think one day, the emperor will be like me today--I regret it!"

After saying so many words in one breath, Yan Yuguang's body began to be a little unbearable. After taking a few breaths of heaviness, he reluctantly raised his left hand, pointed to a spirit tablet standing on a high table against the wall on the north side of the study, and nodded to Haoxing Mingrui.

Haoxing Mingrui got up and walked to the high tablet, took the spirit card that Yan Yuguang was referring to and the base in his hand, hurriedly glanced at the name written on the spirit card, and then turned around and handed it to Yan Yuguang.

After Yan Yuguang took it, he held the spirit card in his arms, and clumsily opened its base with his movable left hand, and there was a dark compartment inside. He reached out and took out a thin silk book from it and handed it to Haoxing Mingrui.

"This is a list of all the courtiers and generals who have taken refuge in King Ji, I think the emperor will never be able to sleep well again after reading it!"

Haoxing Mingrui opened it casually and looked at it, most of the names were expected by him, but a few names appeared here, and even he was a little surprised.

After putting the silk book in his sleeve, he said to Yan Yuguang: "Yan Hou, please rest assured, the prince will return home safely in a few days." ”

Yan Yuguang looked at him indifferently, "With this roster, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people the emperor wants to kill, how can he have the leisure to kill my Yan Yuguang's son?"

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Haoxing Mingrui, just lowered his head, and with his trembling left hand, carefully wiped the spirit card in his arms that should belong to his late wife.

Seeing this scene, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Yan Domain can be regarded as an outlier in the Yan family!

People from such wealthy families have been instilled with the concept that everything is family-oriented since childhood, and blood relations are just a bond that connects their interests to each other. Therefore, in the face of family interests, everything can be sacrificed, including family affection and love.

But Yan Yuguang violated this ancestral motto of "family first", and always put his family in the most important position. So when the catastrophe came more than ten years ago, he did not hesitate to choose to flee with his family, rather than live and die with the honor of the Yan family.

Most people will see his behavior as weakness and cowardice, but few people can truly understand that he did not hesitate to bear the disdain and disdain of the world, especially those in the family, for the sake of his family.

This time, he chose his son without hesitation, and did not hesitate to let the Yan family end up being suppressed and even declining. He just wants to be a selfish father and not a hero to the family.

Although Yan Yuguang's choice is not worthy of admiration, it still makes Haoxing Mingrui feel a lot of emotion.

It turned out that Yan Xingbao, who was useless, was absolutely better than Yu'er in at least one point - he had a father who could sacrifice everything for him.

I'm afraid that even admitting the existence of his son may not be willing to do it!
