Chapter 604: The Xing Family Surrenders
"No matter what, eldest brother, the imperial concubine, and the seventh prince are all living human beings. Kill them as you say. Even if you want to pave the way for Prince Rong, you shouldn't be so ruthless. You are not afraid that the future emperor will be killed because of killing. Too much to sit still?”
He cursed loudly, venting all his anger.
Although Aunt Xing didn't like the eldest brother of her husband's family, she was still a little sad to hear the news that he was killed by her nephew.
It's just that she has no position to persuade the other party now. The only thing she can do is to distance each other and try not to let the tragedy happen again.
"Uncle, you know very well how Prime Minister Guo was expelled to Jinling City. You also know very well the emperor's fear of me and the Huben Army over the years. I don't need to tell you how much Prime Minister Xing was involved in it. You should also know well that I killed them, but I have no regrets. The seventh prince will never become a wise king, but the Xing family intends to help him rise to power because of blood relatives. Tell me, Is there any hope for Daxing after the Seventh Prince comes to power? "
Every word he said hit Shilang Xing's weakness.
It was precisely because the Seventh Prince was incompetent that Xing Shilang never expressed his position. Even though it had been a long time since the family moved to Sui'an City, he had very little contact with his eldest brother.
He has been an official in the court for many years, and he is not innocent.
I have also plotted against each other with hostile officials. Although the official road is not as scary as the imperial road, it is by no means a white rabbit until now.
"The news just came from the Guo family not long ago. Grandpa Guo and grandmother Guo both passed away. Everyone knows how much his contribution to Daxing was. But now, has His Majesty the Emperor responded? How many officials in the DPRK and China know about this? ? To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for Grandpa Guo’s ruthless desire to leave some talents for the new dynasty, he wouldn’t have let himself go to this point. Huh, the Dingping Hou Mansion just wanted to confront the Guo family. "Xing Xiang's handiwork is indispensable here, how can he not be innocent?"
The words that came one after another left no room for Shilang Xing to reply.
"Is Mr. Guo gone?"
Only now did he know that the Prime Minister who had worked hard for Daxing all his life had passed away without a trace, which really made people lament the ruthlessness of the world.
After falling on the stool, Mr. Xing felt a little disappointed. After a while, he spoke.
"The eldest brother is dead, the imperial concubine and the seventh prince are gone, and the motivation that the Xing family has worked hard for for many years is gone. Moreover, we and the Yan family have always been incompatible with each other for so many years. We want them to let Xing go." Family is also a joke, so now that you can come and report the news in advance, you can be regarded as acknowledging your kindness. I don’t expect the entire Xing family to return to Jinling City safely, but your aunt and the other family members of the family are innocent, and I hope you can Please don’t implicate them after Prince Rong takes the throne.”
Marquis Dingping, who supported the fourth prince in the past, was still active in the court because of the favor of Prime Minister Guo. But if Prince Rong comes to power now, given the temperament of the Yan family, the Xing family will not get any good results.
Instead of waiting to be cut down again and again, it would be best to let go completely and save the whole clan. If it couldn't be saved, then only he and Xing Zhao would stand up to prevent the disaster.
Fortunately, he saw the birth of his grandson before closing his eyes.
Therefore, even if he died generously this time, he would have no regrets.
Aunt Xing, who had been married to him for many years, understood what he was thinking at a glance and held his hand with tears rolling down his face.
"Master, we are not leaving..."
Her words sounded more like comfort to Shilang Xing. Shilang Xing smiled relievedly, then patted his wife on the back of her hand and said as if she was entrusting an important task.
"The child is still young. If we can't go back, you and your daughter-in-law must bring him up. You don't want to get ahead, you just want to live a stable life and be useful."
"master……"
Aunt Xing naturally didn't want anything to happen to her family, but she also knew what would happen to the Xing family after Prince Rong came to power.
My husband and son may not be able to be saved...
Therefore, the only one who can support this family is himself, so no matter how painful his heart is, he must be fully prepared at this moment. For example, the most important thing is to send his daughter-in-law and grandson out of the city first!
"Shao Yu, can you send Meng Niang and the child away first?"
Aunt Xing knew that only her nephew could handle this matter safely, so she had to do it no matter how difficult it was!
At this point, Gu Shaoyu understood what his uncle and aunt were thinking, so he shook his head.
The couple thought that the Earl's Mansion was going to kill everyone, and their eyes gradually became sharper. If they had to spare no children, then the Xing family would not be vegetarians.
Therefore, their expressions became firmer from sadness, but before they could say anything shocking, Gu Shaoyu spoke.
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry. I came today to send a message to cousin Zhao. He said that he had known for a long time that the seventh prince was no longer good, but the Xing family and the Yan family were also incompatible. If they simply surrendered to the prince, then the Xing family would also be in trouble in the future. If you can have a foothold, you won’t be driven out to death.”
After saying this, the couple in front of them were stunned.
It took a while to react.
"You...the two of you voted not for Prince Rong, but for the Crown Prince? Where is the Crown Prince?"
Minister Xing thought about it quickly in his mind, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate. These princes among the clan members were either mediocre or had lost their power long ago. No matter which one, they were not good enough, unless...
Unless someone deliberately concealed their strength!
He looked at Gu Shaoyu, and soon the answer appeared in front of him.
"This is a record of the movements of Yinzhou in the past five years. Uncle, take a look first. After reading it, you will know who should be the common leader of the world."
Yinzhou?
Prince Xie Daoyun? !
He naturally knew this person, but he didn't show his talent. With such a temperament and such favor, no one would pay attention to him.
Unexpectedly, it would be him!
Minister Xing was still in shock and astonishment, flipping through the booklet one after another, while Aunt Xing beside him was like a blessing from heaven. As long as it was not the Earl's Mansion and Prince Rong, she had no objection to whoever took the throne. After all, in this way, the Xing family would have a way out.
She took a deep breath and looked at Gu Shaoyu with a bit of anger.
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Aunt, I have even thought about how to die!"
"Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the life and death of my family? Aunt, you underestimate me and my cousin Zhao."
That's true!
