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

Chapter 867: The Righteous One

"Miss Yan."

Xie Daozhi suddenly looked at Yan Sanhe: "Which one is better, whether it is to establish a direct descendant or to establish a virtuous person?"

Yan Sanhe said nothing.

She knew that Xie Daozhi didn't really want to get the answer from her.

"I am familiar with history books. From ancient times to the present, those who use the banner of 'establishing talents' will inevitably end up with rivers of blood and turbulent mountains and rivers.

Because no one knows whether a person is virtuous or not; and whether a person is a direct descendant or not is always clear at a glance. "

Xie Daozhi: "So although the prince has some shortcomings, he is the safest and most stable heir.

If he is deposed, the kings from all over the country will imitate the King of Han one after another, fighting for each other, not to mention fratricide, and the entire country of China will fall into an unprecedented crisis. "

Yan Sanhe: "So?"

Xie Daozhi stood up and raised his fist in the direction of the palace.

"I thank you for your salary, and I should fulfill my duties as a king. I don't talk about serving the country, the people, the country, the country, and the country. I only talk about the books of saints and sages that I have read. I cannot stand idly by."

Yan Sanhe: "There are many ways to fulfill your duties as a king, you can write a letter, you can even die to remonstrate. Have you done all of them?"

"Miss Yan has only been in the capital for a short time. She doesn't know what happened in the past few years in the court. In the dispute between the prince and the king of Han, the person who wrote the letter went to jail, and the person who remonstrated died in vain. I don't know how many people died."

Xie Daozhi looked sad.

"The late emperor was a famous emperor, and his great achievements were comparable to those of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. But on this matter, let me say a disrespectful word. He was confused."

Yan Sanhe sneered in his heart.

This metaphor is really apt. Tang Zong killed his brother and imprisoned his father to gain a high position, Song Zu launched the Chenqiao mutiny, and Huangpao took over the country. They were all the most ruthless people.

"I believe you are all aware of the crisis that the prince faced at that time."

Xie Daozhi's lips were a little gray, "But there is one thing that you will definitely not be able to find out."

"what's up?"

"The late emperor summoned several of our important ministers one by one to discuss the matter of abolishing the throne."

Xie Daozhi will always remember that day.

There was not even a chamberlain in the imperial study, only the emperor and his ministers.

The late emperor seemed to ask inadvertently: "What do you think of the prince?"

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Xie Daozhi's back after hearing these words. People on the throne, let alone asking questions, even frowning, have profound meanings.

He asked about the prince, which showed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the prince.

In desperation, he had an idea and replied: "How the prince is, I can't say, but the grandson is a good grandson."

These words are a tactful reminder to the emperor that your grandson is the future prince you have trained with your own hands.

To depose the prince is to depose the grandson.

"After hearing what I said, His Majesty didn't speak for a long time, and finally waved his hand and let me go."

When Xie Daozhi recalled it at this moment, he was still frightened.

"But I know very well in my heart that saying 'good grandson' won't last long. As long as the King of Han comes back victorious, Your Majesty will be easy to save no matter what."

Yan Sanhe: "So, you have the idea of ​​​​the Zheng family?"

"Miss Yan, good news from the North comes frequently. The situation at that time was imminent. It is too late to plan elsewhere. I can only start with the King of Han and Zheng Yu."

When it came to the important point, Xie Daozhi clenched his hands into fists.

"The King of Han's fiefdom is in Jinling. The people I sent out have not come back with good news, but I found something fishy about the Zheng family."

Yan Sanhe: "What's so strange?"

Xie Daozhi: "Begonia Courtyard."

These three words made Pei Xiao and others' hearts rise in their throats. They couldn't help but glance at Yan Sanhe and quickly moved away.

Xie Zhifei sat upright, covering his heart, staring at Xie Daozhi, secretly on guard.

Yan Sanhe was very calm: "Tell me in detail, what did you find?"

At this moment, nothing could calm people's minds more than these words, and Pei Xiao even had the urge to kneel down towards her.As expected of a goddess, she is so calm.

"From birth to the age of eight, no one has ever seen the true faces of the twins in Haitang Yuan. People born on July [-]th are indeed ghost fetuses..."

Xie Daozhi's eyes suddenly fell on Xie Zhifei, with some affection.

"Ghost fetuses can defeat people, but there are many ways to resolve them. Locking the two children in Haitang Courtyard and hiding them from the light is the stupidest way. Why did Zheng Yu do this?"

Yan Sanhe's eyes instantly darkened.

No one in this world knows what a ghost fetus is better than Xie Daozhi, and his third son is a ghost fetus.

The third master is not only a ghost fetus, but also a ghost fetus in extremely poor health.

For his sake, the Xie family asked experts to tell his fortune, asked monks and Taoists to read scriptures, and even now, they still hold a ritual ceremony for him every year.

No wonder he would suspect Haitang Courtyard.

Yan Sanhe: "Is there any more?"

"Have!"

Xie Daozhi: "Not long after the twins were born, the nanny and servants of Haitang Court were kicked out. Why is this? Is it normal?"

Yan Sanhe's eyes reflected the light of the candle and he asked deliberately: "What's wrong? If it's not done well, it should be replaced."

"Miss Yan."

A strange smile gradually appeared on the corners of Xie Daozhi's lips.

"Do you know how difficult it is for a family like ours to find a wet nurse? Three generations of ancestors have to check carefully. Unless the wet nurse makes a big mistake, they will not be kicked out easily."

Yan Sanhe was speechless.

There are many smart people in this world, but not many smart and scheming people. Xie Daozhi is one of them.

Xie Daozhi saw that Yan Sanhe was silent and continued to speak.

"There is one thing that Miss Yan probably doesn't know. After the deposed prince was defeated, the servants were imprisoned in the prince's mansion for half a year. There was a rumor that spread among the servants, and even reached the Forbidden Army for a time. .”

Yan Sanhe looked a little surprised: "What rumor?"

Xie Daozhi: "Some people say that on the night when the prince rebelled, he heard a baby crying."

Yan Sanhe's eyelids trembled fiercely.

That cry was the first cry she made in this world after her mother gave her thirteen stitches.

At that time, her mother, Mrs. Liang, was so anxious that she even shouted at her: "My son, please cry a little quieter."

All these details are recorded in detail in my mother's book.

She never expected that her cry would actually be heard.

His nails dug into his palms, and Yan Sanhe felt no pain, so he forced himself to say: "Do you believe the rumors? Maybe someone heard it wrong?"

"Rumors cannot be trusted."

Xie Daozhi touched his left hand with his right hand and squeezed it hard, "But the more it is based on rumors, the more suspicious it will be, won't it?"

Yan Sanhe's expression changed extremely subtly: "So, you have no real evidence about the Zheng family's affairs."

Xie Daozhi's face brightened slightly: "I want to find real evidence, but..."

"but what?"

"There is no return."

"What do you mean by that?"

Xie Daozhi clasped his hands together, and the veins on the back of his hands popped out.

"The twins must have similar looks. As long as someone takes a look, they can confirm whether there is anything fishy in Haitang Yard."

Yan Sanhe's eyelids twitched heavily.

"So, you sent someone to break into Haitang Courtyard?"
