There was constant fighting outside the imperial city of Jinling, and there was also a lot of fighting inside the imperial city.

In a side hall in the Imperial Palace, a group of people with a solemn look either sat or stood, but there was no surprise that there was some anxiety and sadness in their eyebrows. The owner of the Qin family sat alone in a quiet corner and said nothing. As usual, people would certainly discuss their opinions around him. However, in recent years, the Qin family has kept a low profile and rarely participated in the gatherings of these aristocratic families. Even if they participate, they rarely say anything. So that everyone is used to the Qin family leader who is so quiet and has no sense of existence, but he forgets that he was still the helmsman of the Jinling second family who almost suppressed the limelight of the Xie family a few years ago.

Xie Hou sat not far from him and did not participate in these people's discussions. They were not surprised. After all, it is well known that the Xie family never participated in the affairs of the central government. Even if King Yan really conquered Jinling and changed the dynasty, as long as the Xie family didn't die, there would be nothing.

Several young masters of the Xie family stood beside Xie Hou, looking solemn and respectful. They were calm and could not see the slightest expression.

The Lord of the Qin family glanced at the people present and sighed slightly. He looked up at Xie Hou and said with a smile, "brother Xie, why don't you move and talk?"

Xie Hou knew clearly and said with a smile, "please, Lord Qin."

They got up and walked to the wing room next to the main hall. Although he was put under house arrest in the palace, he was the owner of each family after all. Xiao Qianye didn't want to offend them too much. As long as they don't leave the hall and don't walk around casually, they can be free everywhere in the hall. They got up and left without disturbing too many people. Only two sons of the Xie family and a son of the Qin family followed.

They came to a quiet wing on the side and sat down. Several young people had come forward and set up a chessboard. Both sides sat down, but they were not in a hurry. Listening to the sound of fighting in the distance, Xie Hou said faintly: "listen to this sound, I'm afraid the outer city can't keep it." the news that the south gate has been broken has been heard for more than two days. It's not easy for the defenders of the outer city to block the Youzhou army outside for two or three days. However, since the city gate has been broken, it is not easy to block people back.

The Lord of the Qin family also sighed and said, "Xie Hou is right."

Hou Xie looked up at the Qin family leader, picked up his eyebrows and said with a smile, "it's just for others. Why should the Qin family leader be so worried?"

Let's not talk about others. The eldest childe of the Qin family is now a capable man under Wei Junmo. Once King Yan ascends the throne, the Qin family can only go to a higher level. Where do you need to worry and sigh? The Qin family leader sighed at this time. If Xie Hou was not generous, others would feel that he pretended to pose.

The master of the Qin family rubbed the chess pieces in his hand. After a long time, he dropped a son and shook his head and said, "they all say that once the emperor is a courtier, but this... The emperor is also different from the emperor. The chess game is reopened. Who knows the misfortunes and blessings?" to be fair, the major families prefer Xiao Qianye to the king of Yan. After all, for the ministers, the better the people who put pressure on their heads, the happier the service. Xiao Qianye was cruel enough to his royal uncles, but the courtiers under his opponent were at least softer than the former Emperor. The king of Yan, among the many princes of the former Emperor, is the most similar to the former Emperor.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qianye is really not the opponent of King Yan. If all the aristocratic families tried their best to help Xiao Qianye, no one would like to. What's more, Xiao Qianye has to say whether he will take their love or not.

Xie Hou nodded, "that's reasonable."

The master of the Qin family sighed, "that's why I envy Xie Hou." if I don't enter the game, I don't have to worry about the changing dangers. With the prestige and reputation of the Xie family, the Xie family can enjoy peace for a long time as long as they do not betray the country, bully the king, and produce no absurd dandy offspring. Unfortunately, the Qin family can't do this, and they don't have this condition. Even if the Qin family one day really overshadowed the Xie family, it is far better than the Xie family.

Hou Xie shook his head and said, "Lord Qin, if you and I can still get to the palace, I'd better think about it."

The Qin family leader looked up at Xie Hou, and then looked at the eldest childe of the Xie family and the seventh childe of Xie standing behind Xie Hou. He shook his head reluctantly, smiled and sighed, "if life should be like this, what can I do?" Xiao Qianye didn't know the purpose of inviting them into the palace, but they knew and had nothing to do under the power.

Fortunately

The leader of the Qin family secretly rejoiced that even if he had any accidents, even if the children who followed him into the palace had any accidents, he could always stabilize the situation of the Qin family after his eldest son returned to Beijing. The Qin family will not be defeated.

Xie Hou is even less worried. If there is old lady Xie in the Xie family, there will be no chaos. No matter what happens to him in the palace, when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will appease the gaenzhe family. After some thought, the Xie family will recover slowly, and even avoid the cleaning of the aristocratic family after the new emperor ascended the throne. After all, King Yan is indeed a very strong king.

The two looked at each other and saw calm and calm in each other's eyes. At the same time, obviously, they don't think Xiao Qianye can turn the tide.

The two people here played chess calmly, but there was a quarrel in the side hall on the other side. Gaoyi Hou sat on one side with the same gloomy face. Unexpectedly, the emperor started so quickly. They were really moved, but before they could act, they were all invited into the palace by the emperor. Now I can't do anything. Don't think about the king of Yan. It's luck to get away safely now.

"I've seen Gaoyi Marquis, please. Outside the door, a waiter came in and said respectfully.

Hearing the speech, the hall, which was originally noisy, was quiet. People's eyes shot at Gao Yibo one after another, with some hostility. They are all locked up here and can't go anywhere, but Gao Yibo is taken away by his daughter. Who knows if he will tell his majesty anything harmful to everyone.

No matter how hostile it is, in this place, these powerful house owners are no different from ordinary people, so they have to watch Gao Yibo be taken away.

Gao Yihou followed the Chamberlain to Princess Zhu's palace. Princess Zhu was kneeling in the Buddha Hall in the back hall to chant scriptures. Hearing the waiter's report, he got up and came out. He smiled faintly and said, "father."

Worried, Gaoyi Hou hurriedly asked, "what's important to find your father?"

Princess Zhu sat down and said with a faint smile, "it's no big deal. Just listening to her Majesty's father in the palace, she asked her father to come and get together. Is my father well these days?"

Gao Yihou looked at the daughter of the imperial concubine with a gentle look in front of him. Her look was a little complicated. They have been in the palace for several days. Naturally, Princess Zhu couldn't have known it today. Two days ago, she didn't ask, but now... Princess Zhu played with the jade bracelet on her wrist and said leisurely: "I heard... My father and elder sister have a lot of correspondence these days?"
