The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 636 Mistaken him
"I don't know. I think I heard my grandfather talk about it when I was very young, but I can't remember it clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhao saw that everyone was looking towards him and said hurriedly:

"I just heard Miss Yan talk about Queen Xiaoxian, and I suddenly thought of it."

Yan Sanhe turned his gaze to Tang Jianxi: "Keep talking."

"What Miss Yan just said is right. My husband only has poetry and principles for governing the country, but he doesn't know that everything is for the country and everything is for the royal power."

Tang Jianxi smiled bitterly and said, "The second time I saw the late Crown Prince was in the Crown Prince's womb."

That year, the prince's concubine gave birth to a baby boy. During the Hundred Days Banquet, the prince sent an invitation, and the husband took him and Chu Yan there.

The prince at that time was more energetic than he had been a few years ago.

The hundred-day banquet was full of guests, and congratulatory gifts came one after another. Most of the princes, generals, and civil and military officials from the capital came.

Even if the three of them, teacher and student, were sitting in the corner, there would always be people coming over to express their goodwill by toasting to the husband.

It will be Spring Festival in a few months. My husband was selected by the Ministry of Rites to be the chief examiner of Spring Festival. How many people wanted to curry favor with me.

He and Chu Yanting were afraid that their husband would drink too much, so they had to step forward to protect him from drinking.

But the husband still drank too much.

The prince invited him to take a rest in the study, and he and Chu Yanting followed him to serve him.

In this way, the four teachers and students gathered together again.

The gentleman was only slightly drunk. After a few sips of strong tea, he woke up and took hold of the prince's sleeve and warned him carefully.

"The fire is cooking the oil, and the flowers are blooming. Rong Yu, you have to be careful at this time."

The prince obviously had a lot of wine, and he didn’t shy away from us at all. He held the gentleman’s hand and sighed:
"After his mother left, he changed a bit."

Queen Xiaoxian left three years ago.

The emperor was extremely grieved. He went out of court for three days and gave dozens of posthumous titles, finally choosing the word Xiaoxian.

The prince did not say anything further, but they clearly knew where the emperor had changed.

In the three years since Queen Xiaoxian left, two major crimes occurred in the capital, tens of thousands of people were killed, and more than a dozen aristocratic families were confiscated, including counselors and generals who had been following the emperor.

The gentleman was silent for a while and then said: "Your Majesty has been acting too harshly recently. As a son and a prince, you should give him some appropriate advice."

The prince lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "After a few times of persuasion and a few times of kneeling, Lao Han's legs have been broken by his knees."

Those people had watched the prince grow up. After the incident, they came to beg him. The prince relented and went to beg the emperor.

The emperor's intentions are known to everyone.

When the birds are gone and the good bows are hidden, how can the Zhao family maintain a stable position without killing a group of heroes?
But killing the donkey is chilling.

What's more, the Zhao family relies on these heroes to be where they are today.

The husband patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly: "As long as you can live up to your conscience, there is no need to force anything else."

"This is my first time coming to the palace, and it will also be my last."

Tang Jianxi recalled: "When I helped my husband get into the car, I turned around and looked at the prince who was walking to the door. He was standing in the night, wearing a black winter robe and a jade crown on his head, standing with his hands behind his back.

Behind him is the deep palace of the Prince's Mansion, so deep that it can't be seen to the end.

I felt at that time that he showed kindness to the junior sister not because he liked the junior sister very much, but because he wanted to have someone by his side to talk to. "

Hearing this, Yan Sanhe felt a dull pain in his heart for some unknown reason.

But compared with this pain, the biggest feeling in her heart was: "Your husband missed him again."

To secure that position, you can't do it without an iron fist.

Her grandfather once told her that if the king is weak, his ministers will bully him; if the king is strong, his ministers will be weak; government is like a balance, and many things must be balanced.If your Majesty wants to kill someone, you can only persuade one, two, but not three.

If you persuade too much, you will lose the emperor's heart.

"So as soon as my husband's Chunwei fraud case came out, His Majesty showed no mercy and ransacked the house. In the end, it was also a lesson to the prince, but this lesson was really too big."

Tang Jianxi frowned, remained silent for a moment and said:

"My husband was deeply in prison and regretted it. When the prince visited him, he grabbed his hand and said: Your Highness, you are surrounded by wolves. You must learn to be more ruthless."

"How do you know these words?"

"Yan Zhi told me a long time later."

Tang Jianxi sighed: "Unfortunately, sir, it was too late to realize that the prince's temper is already like this. No matter how ruthless, as long as his heart is benevolent, how ruthless can he be?"

"It's also because he was too smooth. From the eldest son to the prince, it was a smooth journey. I firmly thought that the position must belong to him. I never thought that someone would already be watching."

Yan Sanhe looked at Zhu Yuanzhao.

"Similar to your Zhu family, the eldest master, the fifth master and even the old lady all thought that the Zhu family's property belonged to the eldest family. They never thought that they also missed the concubine Zhu Xuanjiu."

Zhu Yuanzhao's lips moved, but he had nothing to say.

But Tang Jianxi couldn't help but said: "Young lady really hit the nail on the head."

It's not that he hits the nail on the head, but he has some insights from Zhu Xuanjiu.

Zhu Xuanjiu had gone crazy for being the head of the Zhu family, not to mention that what those people were fighting for was a big position in the world.

The prince's benevolent character hidden in his bones and blood, the scholar's loyalty influenced by Tang Qiling's teachings...these are the advantages of being a human being, but they are the weaknesses when fighting for each other.

is fatal.

After a long silence, Yan Sanhe asked: "What happened later, did you see the prince again?"

"I saw it once."

That time he returned to the capital and went to the Ministry of Rites to hand in his resignation letter and official seal. After completing all the formalities, he walked out of the Ministry of Rites. The prince's carriage and horse happened to be parked at the entrance of the Rites Department, and the prince got out of the car.

The four eyes are facing each other, and things are different.

He has grown a beard, white hair has grown on his temples, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose are a bit deep. You don't need to think too deeply to know that he has been living a difficult life.

"I stepped forward and knelt down to salute. He looked at me condescendingly and walked away without saying anything."

Tang Jianxi: "I felt quite disappointed. Thinking about the past, I suddenly felt so boring that I didn't even get in the carriage and just left.

After walking down a few alleys, someone caught up with me and stuffed something into my hand. "

Tang Jianxi took off the purse on his waist, took out a small, thin piece of white jade, and handed it to Yan Sanhe's hand.

Yan Sanhe lowered his head and saw that it was a lifelike fish carved from white jade.

"He gave it to me, can Miss Yan guess what it means?"

Tang Jianxi looked quite moved, and without waiting for Yan Sanhe to answer, he said:
"You can see the clear stream, and there are fish in the stream. The fish are so happy in the water. I don't want to follow Chu Yanting like he did, so he let me go and let me live at ease for the rest of my life."

After a pause, he sighed again: "Be at ease for the rest of your life, Miss Yan, how rare it is in this world!"

It’s rare!
Yan Sanhe held the small piece of white jade and remained silent for a long time.

In fact, Tang Zhiwei, Lu Shi, and Tang Jianxi were able to survive safely because there was a big invisible hand behind them secretly helping them.

The owner of this hand is the former Prince Rongyu.

Based on this alone, he couldn't sit in that position, he was too attached to love and justice.
