The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

The main hall became quiet, except for the clearly audible sound of breathing, there was no other sound.

Sheng Xiangxun's face was cold, and all the anger was concentrated in his eyes and sight.

And Sheng Xiangya, the eldest son who locked his eyes tightly, also had no expression on his face, his eyes were like a swirling pool of ink.

Sheng Guogong closed his eyes and said nothing, his fingers on the armrest moved slightly from time to time.

Second Master Sheng, Fourth Master Sheng, and Fifth Master Sheng remained silent, but their eyes followed Sheng Xiangxun's and stared closely at his elder brother. Obviously, they also wanted an explanation, and they couldn't put their children in danger. That's all.

This silence lasted for half a cup of tea, and it looked like it would continue.

Except for the confrontation between the two brothers who still maintained a tense atmosphere, the eyes of the rest began to sore.

Just as Master Sheng was hesitating whether to remind his father not to pretend to be asleep, Shizi Sheng Xiangya sneered.

With this sneer, the air flow in the main hall flowed slowly, and the sense of restraint that was so stagnant just now disappeared.

Of course, his laughter didn't ease the atmosphere very well, especially after he spoke.

"Sheng Xiangxun, Sheng Xiuzhuan, Sheng Sanye! You are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. Please give me an explanation for being a brother. What is the meaning of 'if the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his official status, and if the ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his status. , if a few things are not kept secret, it will cause harm.'?"

Although it was a question, Sheng Xiangya, whose eyes were condensed, didn't have time to talk to his brother. With a little irritable anger, he said in a low voice, "I'm still telling you? Shall I call all my family members over and notify them one by one? Excuse me." Use your brain!

The imperial family of the former Qi Dynasty was full of cunning, Yan, Chen, and Chu had just unified the Central Plains with the power of several generations. His Majesty spent nearly ten years and still could not find them. Zheng Bu Suan is used as a life-saving straw, how can they find and arrest them with their ability to evade?
The harm of Qinghong can't be relieved, and now the opportunity is rare, and the opportunity will never come again. If you are a brother, do you dare to take the risk of missing the opportunity for the safety of the clan?

The six nobles in Beijing and China participated in this matter, but only five people knew about it. Why do you guess? "

Sheng Xiangya sneered and inspected the people in the hall, except for his own brother who still refused to accept, the other three did not dare to look at him, and could not help but sneer: "I know you want to keep the outside loose and the inside tight, but this is only for the outside world. It is easy to use when the Qi thief sneaked into the mansion at that time, if I tightened my guard, how could he not notice?
All I want is for him to act!Instead of making him daunting!You are also someone who has read the Art of War, timing, timing!You do not understand?As long as Qinghong is not burned out, it is a failure!How can you let me not be cautious?What's more, if I don't have a backup, how can you guys wake up immediately after being dizzy? "

"So you replaced the book boy I arranged? So you dismissed the woman and maid I arranged near the academy?" Sheng Xiangxun listened to his elder brother's awe-inspiring words, and his dissatisfaction was not appeased. Instead, he laughed angrily, and his voice rose from low to high, "Do you know that all the third generations of the mansion are there, and the whole group is gone without any carelessness!"

"So what!" Sheng Xiangya slapped the table, overpowering his younger brother, stood up and looked at the brothers with some contempt, "If you are loyal to the country and the king, what's the pity for the people who put the whole house on the table? !"

When he said this, everyone in the hall was startled, even Sheng Guogong opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the eldest son, hesitant to speak.

Sheng Xiangxun clenched his cheeks and gritted his teeth, his fists clenched loudly.

Sheng Xiangya's righteous words were resounding and no one could refute them.

"Everyone in the world says that a gentleman will be killed in the fifth generation, but since the beginning of Yan Dynasty, more than ten generations of our Shengguo government have passed on and prospered through three dynasties, all because of their loyalty to the state affairs and not sparing their own lives!"

Sheng Xiangya's words were sonorous, looking directly at his angry but unable to speak younger brother, and asked: "You feel sorry for your daughter's danger, so is it possible that I have no feelings? I only had an eldest son when I was only [-] years old, and I will know my destiny in a few years. Now It's only two sons and one daughter. But I didn't hide one during the trip to the academy! If it fails, you still have one son to comfort you, what about me?!"

When he said this, his eyes were red, and he pointed to Sheng Erye and said: "The Lin family snatched Balang Jiulang. Although the second brother is in a hurry, he puts the overall situation first. Even if the second son is frightened and unconscious, he has no complaints. He is now forty-five. Not more than three sons!"

"Hehe, at that time, second brother, you didn't know that the only son in law was in danger in the academy!" Fifth Master Sheng couldn't help but sneer.

But as soon as he spoke, he felt Shi Zisheng's icy gaze on Xiang Ya, the unemotional coldness made his hairs stand on end, and he immediately kept silent.

Up to this point, Sheng Xiangya's mood gradually calmed down. Looking at Sheng Xiangxun, his tone of voice tended to be warm: "What's more, I don't fight unprepared battles. There are archers in the main roads they left with hostages. Ambush. If there is no problem with Sister Yuan, when they leave the mansion and enter the alley, there will be a rain of arrows! The children in the mansion will return safely!"

"It's our Jiayuan sister's fault for co-authoring? Is she ruining your overall situation?" Sheng Xiangxun could only feel a surge of anger simmering in his heart, but his elder brother's every word was full of righteousness, which made him full of righteousness. There was no way to vent his anger, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

"I don't have that intention!" Sheng Xiangya sat back, "I just want to make it clear to my father and my brothers that while I am loyal to the king, I also try my best to protect everyone!"

"... Good! Good! Good!" Sheng Xiangxun applauded and praised him, "That's really good! You really deserve to be the son of the Duke of Sheng!"

After saying that, he looked at Sheng Guogong: "Old man, do you think that the ancestors of our Sheng family will be moved to tears after hearing what the son said?"

"Third!" Sheng Guogong gave him a disapproving look, "There is nothing wrong with being loyal to the emperor."

Sheng Xiangxun sneered several times and shook his head, feeling desolate in his heart.

Sheng Wuye didn't expect that his third brother, who was usually so generous, would stop abruptly. He was blind to the noise he had made before, rolled his eyes, and said emphatically, "Since Mr. Zheng entered the mansion, I have had little contact with him. Unlike the second elder brother who dotes on Mrs. Lin, the second elder brother has always been alert, but he has never noticed any clues?"

"What do you mean?" Second Master Sheng turned his head sharply, and responded coldly, "Brother, it's not easy to run a business. Do you want to involve the man of our Sheng family to be happy?"

"..." Sheng Wuye realized that he had slipped his words, and hastily changed his words, "Mr. Lin mentioned Sister Han in front of everyone! It is said that Sister Han heard their rockery secrets before, but she kept her mouth shut and blamed her I gave it to my cousin! Do you think you can stop people from thinking too much? Second brother, don’t stare at me, there is a problem with the concubine’s room around you, you can still say you are innocent, but if your direct daughter also has problems, then you should be a father If you still say you don’t know, you can’t explain it!”

Second Master Sheng gave him a hard look, looked up at Sheng Xiangxun, and said in a gentle voice, "Before I came to Anhetang, I woke up Sister Han and asked about it. The child has suffered so much and has no intention of lying. She said, Before, she lied that Sister An, Sister Yuan entered the rockery because she dirty her clothes by playing in the flower bed. She was afraid that her mother would scold her, so she made a complaint about Sister An, Sister Yuan.

Who would have thought that such a coincidence, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zheng were conspiring in the rockery at that time, and they had a guilty conscience to misunderstand. The third brother can only blame us for our improper education, but Sister Han really has no bad intentions. "
