Chapter 478 Heartache
The eunuch who had heard the ghost story left in a state of trembling as if he was going to see a ghost.
As soon as he left, the emperor looked at Shen Li and waited for his explanation.
Shen Li said: "Zhou Yi used a jade pendant to let us find him. It has been twenty years. Why did he appear now?"
The emperor was silent for a moment, "Do you think that Zhou Huaishan's appearance alarmed him? Does he have spies here?"
"I am not sure whether he has spies here, but I am sure that there must be someone around Prince Ping, otherwise why would he send a jade pendant? He has been waiting for twenty years. He thinks the time is right now.
However, time and environment can completely change a person.
Twenty years have made it impossible for us to determine whether he is worthy of our cooperation now, or whether we can each take what we need."
When he mentioned Prince Ping just now, the emotion revealed by the Seventh Prince was neither disgust nor rejection.
And Zhou Yi went to see the Seventh Prince off before he left and even swapped the jade pendant, which shows the relationship.
Therefore, Zhou Yi's relationship with Prince Ping must be not bad.
"Since King Ping has his people with him, if we want to send a message to Zhou Yi, the safest way is to send it through this person.
This is Zhou Yi's own line, which is much safer than us contacting Zhou Yi."
The emperor suddenly realized.
That's right.
It seems that everything has taken a big step forward with the appearance of Zhou Yi.
After the initial shock, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows, "Do you think Su Heng can lead the troops?"
A battle with Nanzhao is inevitable, unless Nanzhao can be defeated without a fight.
Otherwise, based on the fact that Nanzhao deliberately poisoned and caused the epidemic, there is no battle that cannot be solved.
In addition, even if we don't fight, the other side may not want to fight, otherwise they would not create so many moths.
"I think that if your majesty must send Su Heng, you might as well let the seventh Zhou Heng go with him. If he goes, Xu Feng can follow him as an attendant."
Zhou Heng, that is, Su Heng.
There is no need to say much about Xu Feng's combat ability.
The reputation of Xu Yanwang on the battlefield is not for nothing.
Even though his fighting power has deteriorated after such a long time, his ability to command battles is still there.
It's a pity that Ma can't come next year, otherwise such a meaningful battle will become even more different.
The emperor sighed deeply, "I'm afraid of a temporary mutiny."
Shen Li was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't think so.
If Su Heng had second thoughts, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion participated in the rebellion at that time. Even if he didn't participate, he would take advantage of the chaos to flee back to the Zhenshuo Army base camp.
As long as he goes back, we can't do anything to him for a while, and considering the Zhenshuo Army, we can't execute those people so easily.
Su Heng, there is a bottom line."
There is another sentence that Shen Li didn't say.
When the prince was imprisoned, he once said: If he had listened to Su Heng at the beginning, perhaps everything would be different, but unfortunately, there is no if.
It was also from the prince that Shen Li knew that Su Heng had advised him more than once over the years.
When Shen Li left the palace, the moon was already on the treetops.
Zhou Huaishan and Wang Jin, who were drunk at a dinner party with their classmates, finally woke up at dusk after sleeping all afternoon.
However, after dinner, before the father and son had time to recall the various famous scenes at the dinner party today, they were pressed down by Zhou Qing in front of the desk.
In the past, he urged his father to study!
Good guy!
Now he urges his father and brother to study!
He has to take double the Tianwang Baoxin Pill!
Zhou Huaishan collapsed in front of the desk, speaking ill words with a dying expression.
"My daughter, I studied before to change our family's social status and economic ability. Now, our family has endless money and a high status. My identity has also been recognized by the emperor. Even if you and Shen Li have conflicts in the future, we will not suffer.
Why do you still force me to study?
Do you really expect me to pass the exam and become the top scholar?
Even if I am talented and pass the exam and become the top scholar, then what?
Ah?
My daughter?
Then what?
Do you really want me to get up early and go to court to hurt my hairline for national affairs?"
Faced with Zhou Huaishan's soul-searching question, Zhou Ping looked at Zhou Qing with burning eyes.
"Sister, I also want to know, then what?"
Wang Jin burped.
"Yes, sister, then what?
Even if Dad agrees, the emperor will not agree, and the whole court will not agree!
The country cannot be played with!"
Faced with these three people, Zhou Qing's eyes twitched, and he couldn't sigh with a breath stuck in his chest.
Yes.
Then what?
Why did she work so hard to let her father study to torture each other?
Wouldn't it be better for each of them to let each other go and live in peace?
Just when Zhou Qing was about to be persuaded to tell Zhou Huaishan that he would go to get him expelled from school tomorrow, Shen Li came in from outside.
As soon as he came in, Shen Li glanced at Zhou Ping first.
Zhou Ping
licked his lips and stood up unwillingly.
"Okay, I'll go stand guard! I'm just a whistle, I don't have any feelings, I'm just a whistle, I don't deserve to hear secrets, yangyang"
Zhou Ping walked out with a street dance step, closed the door and dragged out.
As soon as he left, Shen Li put his arm around Zhou Qing's shoulders, patted her lightly on the shoulder, and then let go and said: "Dad still has to study."
Then, Shen Li talked about Zhou Yiheng's existence.
Just when everyone was excited and stunned, Shen Li said slowly: "Sixth brother has been lurking in Nanzhao for twenty years, and his goal is definitely not small.
The extermination of the Rongyang Marquis's mansion was related to the Nanzhao royal family.
It was related to the alternation of the imperial power in Nanzhao.
What the sixth brother wants to do is probably more than just revenge! "
Zhou Qing suddenly realized what Shen Li said, "My sixth brother wants to seize power?"
Shen Li nodded, "Although it's just my guess, it's not a bad preparation for us to make efforts for this.
So, if the sixth brother really wants to ascend the throne, there will definitely be a certain degree of turmoil in the government over there.
If Dad doesn't study hard and master more things, how can he help the sixth brother stabilize the government at that time. "
Shen Li's words made Zhou Huaishan frown and couldn't relax.
He stared at Shen Li for a long time before taking a breath, "You want me to assist the sixth brother to stabilize the government? Do you and the sixth brother have any deep hatred!"
Wang Jin licked his lips and grabbed Shen Li's arm, "No, brother-in-law, you mean, my sixth brother is in Nanzhao? He is still an official in Nanzhao?
My sixth brother was only ten years old when he went to Nanzhao!
He was helpless there, a ten-year-old child, how did he survive? "
Wang Jin's eyes turned red as he spoke, "My sixth brother has suffered so much over the years!"
After that, Wang Jin turned around and hugged Zhou Huaishan, crying, "Dad, Sixth Brother is so pitiful!
Dad, do you know? When I found out about our family, I couldn't sleep every night for a whole year, and I relied on calming incense.
Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother was ten years old at that time.
He. How did he survive these years. "
Zhou Huaishan patted Wang Jin's back and stroked it gently a few times. He didn't know where to start comforting words.
After all, his heart was also in pain.
