Rong Sheng exited in response.

Shen Zhongqing sat down opposite Xiao Yu, picked up the jug and poured a glass, it was the best Jinhua wine, with a mellow and lingering aroma, after drinking one cup, it would instantly heat up from the throat to the lower abdomen, Shen Zhongqing nodded, "Good wine." Looking at the chess game on the table, "Brother Xiao is so leisurely!" His tone was very dissatisfied.

"Isn't this waiting for my virtuous brother?" Xiao Yu was not annoyed, and sat down opposite Shen Zhongqing with a smile, and pushed Heizi to him, "My virtuous brother, are you interested in having a plate?"

Shen Zhongqing pushed it away, "This morning, why did Wan Sui suddenly ask about Marquis An Qing calling him sick?" In fact, he wanted to ask, Wan Sui's frequent deployment of troops in the past two days is because Marquis An Qing is not in a hurry to act?

Xiao Yu is the minister of the Ministry of War and the most trusted military adviser in front of Wansui, so he will not be ignorant of Wansui's secret actions. Maybe all of this is the plan of his old fox!

It's just that I received a secret decree, so I can't ask it clearly.

"As a son-in-law, it's normal to care about my father-in-law's health. I'm not a roundworm in Long Live's stomach. How do I know?" Xiao Yu shook his head leisurely, and he changed the subject, "I heard that my aunt has formed an alliance with Mrs. Xue, Do you want to marry the tenth miss of the Marquis of Anqing for my virtuous younger brother?"

"This..." Shen Zhongqing's expression was extremely unnatural.

This is what he only found out after asking Rong Sheng to inquire about it yesterday. Marquis Anqing wanted to rebel and force the palace, but on his side he stopped wives and remarried with great fanfare, and formed an alliance with others. If this spread to Wansui's ears, what would he think?

Xiao Yu knew everything, so how could Long Live not know?

Shen Zhongqing broke out in cold sweat.

only.My mother was also bewitched by others, it was not intentional, this matter involves her family and life, even if the other party is Mo Ni's elder brother, I can't admit it myself.

"You..." Xiao Yu sighed, "Politics is war without bloodshed, and war is politics with bloodshed. I told you a long time ago that you should not just think about leading troops to fight, but pay more attention to politics. Pay more attention to the people around you, You just don’t listen.” The voice paused, “If it weren’t for your righteousness to reassure Wan Sui, ten heads would have been lost too!”

This is a fact.

If it hadn't been for Xiao Yu's reminder a few days ago, the newly edited regional annals of the Great Zhou would have taken away his military power.

After hearing this, Shen Zhongqing's momentum weakened a bit, and he muttered unwillingly. "Who is impatient with you literati? It's a trivial matter, and you want to take it directly, but you have to go around a few detours!" Sneaking disdainfully, "What kind of bullshit politics, I think it's just a group of people who don't pay attention to credibility." The hooligans are fighting together."

"You're not called a ruffian!" Xiao Yu glared at him, "That's called robbery!"

Shen Zhongqing slapped the table. "It's better than the shady things behind this!"

"Then what do you mean..." Xiao Yu's face also flushed red, "As long as you have enough strength, you can reach out and grab the Supreme Throne if you want it?"

How can this be the same thing?

Shen Zhongqing was choked and stared at Xiao Yu speechless.

Xiao Yu's voice slowed down, "...Your brother, do you still remember why Zhen Xiting, Minister of the Household Department, died six years ago?"

Zhen Xiting, Minister of the Household Department, was Zhen Shiniang's father, the old father-in-law he hated to the bone, how could he not remember how he died?Shen Zhongqing didn't even think about it, and blurted out, "Death was due to forming a party for selfish interests, deliberately rebelling!"

Xiao Yu looked aggressively. "A small Minister of the Household Department has no military power or strength. What ability does he have to conspire and rebel?"

"This..." Shen Zhongqing was stunned, and blurted out, "He follows Duke Zhen and is a loyal Xu Party!"

Xu Bo, Duke of Zhen, was born as a commoner like him. The difference is that Xu Bo climbed all the way from a soldier to a lieutenant to a lieutenant, until he became a brave general at the age of 23, and was favored by Princess Mingyue. In the end, he divorced his wife and took another to become the smash hit son-in-law.

Afterwards, with the help of Princess Mingyue's slick communication skills and the strong relationship behind her, Xu Bo rose to the top of the sky, and in just a few years he became the Duke of Zhen Guo with one person under one man and over ten thousand people. .

Power often brings greed.

With huge power in his hand, Duke Zhen's ambitions are also growing day by day. This country was laid down with blood from the tip of his knife. Why should Wan live sit alone? Gradually, he will develop a disobedient heart, and the conflict between the monarch and his ministers will become increasingly tense.In the end, the first emperor ordered the murderer six years ago, and murdered all the families of Lord Zhen Guo, including Princess Mingyue, for the crime of deliberate treason.

It can be seen how much the first emperor hated them.

This Zhen Xiting is the loyal Xu Dang, he followed the lead of Xu Bo, the Lord of the Town, and when the Lord of the Town fell, the Zhen family naturally followed suit.

"Is this really the case?" Xiao Yu filled Shen Zhongqing with wine, "Think about it, brother. Back then, Xu Bo peeped at Jiuding, and there were countless officials who formed parties with him. Geng Xiangye, Xu Bo's military adviser back then, was only a lifelong prisoner, so why did he kill Zhen Shangshu's family alone?" He looked at Shen Zhongqing intently, "In terms of official position, Zhen Shangshu is no higher than Geng Xiangye back then. Zhen Shangshu is no more serious than Geng Xiangye..."

Something flashed through his mind, Shen Zhongqing's body shook, he shook his head vigorously, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"Back then, the power of the state was in the hands of the government, and the late emperor was restrained for many years but did not dare to get rid of it easily. Why?" Xiao Yu asked himself and explained, "It is because the Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos on the border, and all countries are staring at it. The late emperor cannot do without him."

"But the first emperor still killed him!" Shen Zhongqing said.

Peeping at Jiuding is a big taboo of the Tian family, and no one can tolerate it.

"Yeah, I knew I couldn't do without but I still killed him without hesitation." Xiao Yu asked Shen Zhongqing, "Why do you say?"

Shen Zhongqing's face turned pale for a while, and he shook his head vigorously.

"Because of you..." Xiao Yu said word by word.

"I..." Shen Zhongqing pointed to his nose, his face became paler.

"Yes." Xiao Yu's expression turned serious, "Because there was another you in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The prince and the first emperor were all optimistic about you, and they also believed that in time, you will be the second brave general to replace Xu Bo. Sifang. Keep the people of Dazhou safe.”

That's why he decisively killed Duke Zhen!

Although I never wanted to admit it, I recalled that he was highly regarded by the late emperor when he debuted seven years ago. When he won his first big victory six years ago, Duke Zhen's house was suddenly ransacked for treason, and Shen Zhongqing's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Brush down.

"Could it be that Zhen Shangshu's family is also... also..." The murmuring voice lost the strength to continue.

Shen Zhongqing didn't dare to think about it, or he didn't want to bear this heavy burden.

Because of the humiliation back then, he hated Zhen Shiniang's family.Later, he only felt happy when Zhen Shangshu was convicted, but he didn't think about it deeply. Now that he thinks about it, he feels a cool breeze on his back, which makes his hair stand on end.

He felt guilty on this side, but Xiao Yu didn't give him a chance to escape. "Long live wants to use you, so he must get rid of all the people around you who can affect your future. Zhen Shangshu is kind and forbearing, keep him, and use the relationship between Weng and son-in-law in the future, it is hard to say that you will not become the second Ambitious Lord Zhen!" The topic changed immediately, "Killed Zhen Shangshu's family, but left his siblings alone, not because Wansui valued you not to kill her. It's not because the first emperor bestowed marriage to kill her..."

Shen Zhongqing sat up straight, "Why is that?"

"It's Wansui who wants to mold you into a brave general like Lord Zhen, but he is afraid that you will become the second Duke of Zhen." Xiao Yu looked at Shen Zhongqing with a pale face and said slowly, "Yes Lord Zhen’s lesson, long live I don’t want your Yue family to become more powerful and kill the family of younger brothers and sisters, and she will be homeless from now on. It is in line with my Great Zhou’s law of three not to go..."

In ancient times, while the seven outs were stipulated, there was also the theory of three not to go, which was used to protect the wife from being divorced by the husband's family arbitrarily using the name of the seven outs.One is "the one who marries and has no home will not go", which means that a wife cannot be divorced when she has no family to return to. Long live to kill Zhen Shiniang's family is to artificially make her meet the three not to go. Come on, even if Zhen Shiniang committed seven crimes, Wansui can grandly dismiss the Shen family's strong divorce or reconciliation memorial, and tie them together abruptly, so that Shen Zhongqing will have no chance to marry the strong and become a The second town is the Duke of the State.

In an instant, many past events that had been unnoticed emerged in front of my eyes.

Feeling a little confused, Shen Zhongqing's slender fingers intertwined and wrung vigorously, "...so the tenth prince's full moon wine, the imperial concubine makes an exception and asks me to bring my family members to participate, is also the meaning of long live?"

"I value you so much, how could Long live not know that you have been separated from your siblings for five years, and you don't even have a son-in-law?" Xiao Yu gave him a look that you finally understood, "... Long live is hinting at you, he I value your first wife very much, even if you haven’t left for five years, you are not allowed to divorce casually.” Seeing that Shen Zhongqing’s face turned from white to black, he explained, “Don’t blame Wansui for not knowing style. Although Mother has schemes, Wansui also thinks that she has a deep love for you. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that you would live to this day." Sighing, "Wanzai and I thought that after going through vicissitudes, she would always be the president. Mature, know how to obey and accommodate, there will always be a day for you to let go of the past..." Shaking your head, "Who knows, it has let you waste so many years."

If it wasn't for her, Wanzai wouldn't be able to keep himself alive until now?

How soon?

Puzzled in his heart, Shen Zhongqing just looked at Xiao Yu without saying a word.

"You also know that my first wife used to be the best friend of my younger siblings." Xiao Yu said calmly, "At the beginning Zhen Shangshu tried all means to marry you, but he wanted to use beauty tricks to buy you..." Smiling and looking at Shen Zhongqing, "Who knows You are not afraid of power. Later, when you carried your aunt, Zhen Guogong and Zhen Shangshu both felt cold and wanted to kill each other. It was the younger siblings who knelt outside Zhen Shangshu's study and begged for a whole night, and vowed I will definitely be able to persuade you to join Duke Zhen, make Zhen Shangshu soft-hearted, and let you escape disaster." He changed the topic, "Otherwise, with the power of Duke Zhen at that time, the late emperor and the crown prince would have to spend a lot of time trying to protect you." After many twists and turns, even if you can survive, you will have to suffer a few years in prison."

This is God's will.

After many years, recalling it again, Xiao Yu still felt a little embarrassed.

If Zhen Guogong had killed Shen Zhongqing in pain.

Perhaps now, the country of this Great Zhou has changed owners, and Zhen Shiniang's family will not be so lonely and bleak. She must have already become the princess who is loved by thousands of people, right?

At the beginning, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to saving Shen Zhongqing and gave her wholehearted love, but did she ever think that she would have today? (To be continued.
