Hexi

Yang Xie glanced back, walked around the screen and entered the curtain.

Under the dim light, there was a person sitting on the couch, his face completely blurred in shadow.

"Mister has no confidence in him at all?"

"I said earlier that Chang He is different from his father. His father has a desire for power. He is still young and has enjoyed the glory brought by his father. His desire for power has not yet been born. So there is no Chang Wei. So easy to control."

"But the important things we want right now are in his hands, but we can't abandon him. Moreover, he has lived here for several days, and it would be a disaster to go out."

The eyes in Youguang raised up, and a ray of sharp light flashed out. "Of course, only by cutting the weeds and roots can we avoid future troubles forever. As for the things," the shadow stretched, and an old hand resting on the knee stroked the sleeve of the right hand: "That's what you and I should work on next. "

Yang Xie stopped: "Sir, what do you mean, take what is in Chang He's hand?"

"Otherwise?" The light in the eyes became sharper by three points. "Judging from what happened tonight, Chang Wei did not lie. Su Shou is indeed a cunning fox. We have let him deceive us for so many years. And our guess is right, Chang He robbed that girl from the Xue family , it brought us trouble. From the beginning to the end, Chang He fell into the trap dug by Su Shou and Han Mo, and the sad thing is that Chang He still thinks he has a chance of winning."

Yang Xie frowned: "The matter of robbing people has indeed brought us trouble. However, even without this matter, I went to the sky prison that night, which already alerted Su Shou and Han Mo. Since Chang Wei was arrested, It is actually impossible for us to dormant as before. So now is not the time to pursue responsibility, but to think about how to make up for it.”

"If you want to make up for it, you must first solve Chang He's constraints." The person on the couch slowly stood up, his eyes still burning in the dim light, "Although the depth of Su Shou's city is beyond the old man's imagination, the old man also I know him better. If he didn't have full determination, he wouldn't have made it this far. As you said, we have changed now. Chang He came back this time, not necessarily because Han Mo is not as good as you, but maybe It was a game of chess played by them. Chang He is now, and it is very likely that he has become their tool in turn."

Yang Xie looked at the night, silent.

"I know you want to keep him as a sign of a stable military spirit. However, it's not good for a person to be too entangled by love. Chang Wei is also the same, that's his voluntary, but he can't pass his mother's test Yes. A living relative is dying in front of his eyes, and he will not pass so easily."

Yang Xie pursed his lips in silence, and said for a moment: "He is not stupid, he will understand which is more important, survival or revenge."

The old man in the light and shadow gave a low laugh: "A person with a root of love, no matter what kind of emotion he is, can't control his confused nature."

When Yang Xie heard this, he turned to look at him: "Sir, I seem to be feeling something."

The old man did not speak.

Yang Xie pursed his lips slightly, and said again: "Sir, you have always been calm and indifferent, and you have long been free from emotions and desires. Normally, you shouldn't have such a feeling."

"I'm joking." The old man said slowly, "I'm just used to seeing the world, and I have a little experience. All in all, the young master must be more vigilant against Chang He. However," he changed the subject at this point, and said: "From Su Shou and Han Mo are both present at Chang’s house tonight. It seems that Su Shou must have told Han Mo some things. If Su Shou’s burden is as you and I guessed earlier, then he will confide the news. It will also cause him a lot of trouble."

Yang Xie nodded, and said slowly, "He's really good at hiding."

……

After the people in the study dispersed, Su Shou still hadn't left. After sitting for a long time, he packed a few things and put them in his arms before going back to his room to rest.

Last night, Donglin Wei had already reported the affairs of Chang's family to Qianqing Palace. These things cannot be concealed, and of course they cannot be concealed.

Over the years, the number of times Su Shou has entered the palace to face the saint is also countless. Although the current emperor acts like a thunderbolt and is a heroic king, he still treats the heroes and veterans of the court with benevolence and righteousness. The family of heroes who have come down, even though they have used ancestral skills to guard the gates of the various ministries for the court for so many years, they have never produced any famous officials and heroes, and the rewards that should be given during the festival have never been lost to the Su family. , as usual, the Su family would of course enter the palace to thank them when they received a reward.

There has never been an apology like this.

Su Shou remembered very clearly that the last time he talked to the emperor face to face was the time when the emperor joined forces with the Duke of Zhen to force him to take over the Ministry of Defense and transform him.

But today, he wants to bury his head in the dust.

"You mean, you, a dignified young minister of Dali Temple, and Han Mo, a former dignified envoy of Donglinwei Town, let Chang He run away even though the defenses are already in place?"

The emperor was having breakfast, his face was as gloomy as the rice cake in his hands—of course it couldn’t be real rice cake, it was a purple rice cake specially made by the imperial chef, I heard that the first emperor liked to eat this kind of cake, and it was the empress dowager at that time, It was made by the empress herself at that time. After the empress dowager passed away, and later the crown prince was deposed, the late emperor asked the imperial dining room to specially make this crispy purple rice cake to eat.

The emperor was not born to the empress, because he favored the abolition of the crown prince, and the relationship between the emperor and the first emperor was not very good. It is unexpected that the emperor is now eating this cake, because it is not very delicious.

"Going back to the emperor, the people who rescued Chang He were very skilled. Moreover, he used Chang He's biological mother as a human shield to stop the son. The son is kind, so he let them succeed."

"He was benevolent, so he didn't even chase after him, so he let them live?" The emperor's slow voice and raised tone revealed a bit of coldness.

Su Shou knocked his head to the floor: "It was the humble minister who stopped the son from catching up."

With a "snap", an angry sound came from the front, followed by two ivory chopsticks that rolled down to the front.

"Su Shou, you are so courageous!"

The young courtiers in the court had hardly seen the emperor get angry, and only the old courtiers knew how terrifying the majesty of the young emperor was when he was angry.

Su Shou, who was prostrate on the ground, took a deep breath: "The minister is guilty. I let the prisoner escape, and the minister is willing to be punished by the emperor. But the minister still dared to ask the emperor, the emperor only wants Chang He, and the person who wants to save Chang He, or even that person?" Do you also want to get back the hidden mines?"

The air in the temple seemed to condense.

There was a rustle of clothes, and the emperor said one word at a time, "What do you mean?"
