After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 75 The reef rolled up on its own initiative
Haitang and her brother Hai Jiao gathered together in the east wing to discuss.

Hai Jiao was very troubled: "What can we do? My cousin doesn't have enough food and salt, so he just refuses to go to the high platform to see Mr. Tao. Grandpa Cao and Grandpa Lu are very excited, but they also have the same concerns as their cousin. It's about grandpa. Even if I want them not to worry too much about their future, it’s hard to say anything.”

In his heart, he still hoped that he would be able to achieve success in the future. Even if he knew that the old Sunge faction was destined to fall in the future, he still had to worry about the overwhelming power of the other party and did not want to be really implicated.If it affects his life-saving plan three years later, it will be very bad.

Haitang glanced at her brother and said nothing.

In fact, she felt that it was not so much that Xie Wenzai was worried that Hai Xiya would be retaliated by Sun Ge's elders for rescuing him and his friends, but that Hai Xiya was worried that his cousin Xie Wenzai would be retaliated by Sun Ge's elders for leaking his whereabouts. revenge, and his thoughts affected Xie Wenzai. Over the past 31 years, this concept has been deeply ingrained in the latter's mind. Whenever they encounter people or things related to Mr. Sun Ge, the two cousins ​​will subconsciously choose to avoid them.

Xie Wenzai himself was not afraid of Mr. Sun Ge's revenge.If he was afraid, he would not have followed his master's orders, drafted that fateful memorial, and personally submitted it to the emperor.

Hai Xiya never worried that his actions in rescuing his cousin would affect his future.If he was worried, he would not ignore his official career and be willing to waste 31 years in the northwest frontier, even losing his only son.

But Xie Wenzai was afraid that his cousin Hai Xiya would be troubled by him, and Hai Xiya was afraid that he would be unable to protect his cousin Xie Wenzai.The two cousins ​​were so worried about each other that they lost courage when thinking about the problem and did not dare to take any risks.

It's normal for Haixi Ya to have concerns.He has no family background and a humble position. A powerful boss like Mr. Sun Ge is an unimaginable behemoth to him. Once he confronts the other party, he has no ability to protect his cousin.He had no other way to deal with it except retreating again and again and staying as far away from the Sun family members as possible.That doesn't mean he's a coward.If he had not had the courage, he would not have been able to take risks and protect Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun, Lu Bainian and other exiled officials for so many years.

As for Xie Wenzai's concerns, besides being influenced by his cousin's thoughts, they are more out of guilt, right?When he secretly arranged for himself to be exiled to the northwest, he was probably like Tao Yue, thinking that he would return to the court in a few years. Even if he asked his cousin to go to the northwest to serve as an official and protect him, he would be able to repay the kindness sooner or later. Let your cousin suffer.He never thought that the emperor was such a scumbag. He had been exiled for more than 20 years. He also caused his cousin to leave his hometown and his official career was wasted. Even his cousin Haidingcheng and his wife had to live in the northwest...

Guilt made Xie Wenzai lose his self-confidence. Even if he felt that he could get more benefits by taking a little risk, he would give up directly because of Haixi Ya's worries.

I guess Xie Wenzai thinks this way: My cousin has sacrificed a lot for me, and he is also worried about my safety, so he advises me not to take risks. How can I make him worry?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 a good life these years, with no worries about food and clothing; serving as counselor and military aircraft for the border army generals is equivalent to contributing to the country and realizing the value of life; he has taught two good students (Hai Dingcheng and Hai Jiao father and son), It can be regarded as a successor; with two good friends, Cao and Lu, by his side, he is not lonely in his daily reading and entertainment...

Xie Wenzai's various needs in life have been met at the most basic level. He is not an ambitious person to begin with, and since he is disillusioned with the emperor, he will naturally stay in the northwest and live a quiet life.

But is this the right thing to do?

Haitang had no intention of forcing this cousin to step out of his comfort zone, but according to the information revealed by Haijiao, in the next 20 years, Mr. Sun Ge would continue to be famous for a long time, and even cause turmoil in the court, but the Hai family was already in She offended him 31 years ago, and in a few years she will return to her hometown not far from the capital. Once discovered by the other party, she may be retaliated at any time... Since she already knew about the future crisis, how could she Maybe do nothing?Even if it is to nip the danger in the bud, we must weaken the enemy's strength and prevent him from threatening us!
Now the most likely helper for the Hai family is Xie Wenzai's old friend Tao Yuetao.Not only does this man have a good family background and a close relationship with the emperor, he is also a capable and ruthless person who will completely crush the old Sun Ge faction in the future.

He is also a loyal minister. After becoming the minister of Gu Ming, he returned the power to the new emperor early, without breaking any taboos and without future trouble...

If you don't quickly find an opportunity to embrace such a reliable golden thigh, are you really going to wait for Mr. Sun Ge to do something evil to the Hai family? !
Haitang turned to look at Haijiao, who was frowning and thinking, and gave him a concise explanation of her analysis.

After all, Haijiao has an adult core, and he quickly understood what his sister meant: "Cousin Xie, the reason why uncle Xie is so worried is because he feels sorry for our family, so he obeys grandpa's ideas in everything?"

Haitang nodded and said: "I think that's what my cousin thought. When he first entered the city, he knew that Sun Yonglu might find him, so he refused to even leave the door. But my grandfather has been promoted and needs help from trustworthy people around him. , he took the initiative to stand up. He is a top-ranked person! Now he works as a staff member for grandpa, but he doesn’t feel aggrieved at all, which shows that he already regards grandpa as his priority. "

Hai Jiao made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand: "This is easy to handle! As long as we can convince grandpa to persuade my cousin, my cousin will definitely agree to go to the Gaotai Institute!"

Haitang raised her eyebrows: "Then how are you going to convince grandpa? Grandpa is most afraid that his cousin will be discovered by Mr. Sun Ge's people. How could he agree to let his cousin come to Gao even though he knows that Mr. Sun's confidants will participate in the peace talks? Going to Taiwan?"

Hai Jiao smiled slightly: "There are some things that you can't just escape from. Grandpa will be safe and sound as long as his cousin never appears in front of the people of Sunge's old faction... But they still want to go back to their hometown in Yongping! How far is Yongping's hometown from the capital? Once someone leaks the news, who can guarantee that Mr. Sun Ge will not take action? If he is really afraid of this, grandpa should not have the idea of ​​​​retiring and returning to his hometown, and just stay in the northwest. .”

But if they 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 last life, the Zhou family's children lost their official positions one after another and lost their power in the border army. When Duke Zhen died, Duke Zhen and his wife had no choice but to take their children and grandchildren back to Beijing to live their lives.Although Suzhou City is no longer destroyed in this life, Sun Yonglu lost his official position due to his crime, and it is impossible to get involved in the power of the border army, but who knows what new ideas Sun Ge will come up with to deal with the Zhou family?If the Zhou family loses power again and cannot protect itself, who else can the Hai family count on?

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

"We have to convince grandpa to make a long-term plan..." He murmured, "You can't just hide! I don't know how long the Zhou family can last, and the Queen Mother is about to die. When the Queen Mother and the Duke of Zhen are both dead, the Zhou family will He is at the mercy of others, but Mr. Sun Ge can still be prosperous for another ten years. If you want to stop his glory and weaken his power, you must rely on Lord Tao!"

Haitang was very pleased to see her brother roll up on his own initiative, but she immediately noticed what he just said: "The Queen Mother is about to die?"
