In the lobby of Washington DC, only Hua Fu and his son were left.
Sitting at the banquet, Hua Ji finally couldn't help but said: "Aweng, you are usually so cautious, why are you so impatient this time? You also said that as soon as Wei Si's incident comes out, Qin Luoheng will be killed sooner or later.
It will attract the attention of the courtiers, and his identity will naturally be revealed."
"Your behavior will only be counterproductive!"
Hua Ji looked slightly depressed.
Hua Fu invited other Guanzhong clans over, but he didn't know about it before. Moreover, since Hua Fu had already spoken, as a son of man, he could not interrupt, let alone refute, so he could only stay aside and listen quietly.
It’s just that Huafu is too impatient!
Huafu Road:
"I know what you're thinking."
"But you don't know much about Wei Si."
"When he showed his talents, you were still in class and knew nothing about him. You thought I didn't know what I did was wrong, but I actually did it on purpose."
"Wei Si is a very scheming person."
"Otherwise, Lao Ai and Cheng Xi rebelled, and the court executed hundreds of people, so why would only one want to rescue Wei Si? There is a reason for all this."
"Wei Si should know Qin Luoheng's identity."
"He must also be very aware that there are guards arranged by His Majesty beside Qin Luoheng, but he still chose to go to Qin Luoheng and said some specious words to mislead or confuse the outside world."
"Right now we don't know what Wei Si said."
"But if you put yourself in his shoes and think about it, if you were Qin Luoheng and you knew something or nothing, and now the court is investigating, how would you defend yourself? Can you explain it clearly?"
Hua Ji's face changed slightly.
He already understood what Hua Fu said.
Hua Ji Ning said:
"Wei Si is plotting against Qin Luoheng."
"He is deliberately arousing His Majesty's suspicion!"
Hua Fu nodded.
He said in a deep voice:
"As expected, this is Wei Si's purpose."
"This is a complete conspiracy."
"Looking at Wei Si's confident attitude, I'm afraid he knows some things that the outside world doesn't know, and these things can arouse strong emotions in His Majesty, so he dares to act so blatantly."
"This man is very scheming."
"He is actually openly provoking His Majesty."
"because......"
"Since ancient times, monarchs have been suspicious!"
Hua Ji changes color.
He glanced around nervously to make sure there was no one around, and still uneasily closed the doors and windows around him, and then whispered:
"Aweng, be careful what you say."
"Sinian is your Majesty's son, and the poison of a tiger will not eat its children. How can Your Majesty be suspicious of Sinian easily? Moreover, Sinian has been living abroad for ten years, and his identity has not been revealed at the moment. Why would your Majesty be suspicious of a person who has no identity?"
Hua Fu's eyes were deep and he said quietly: "Before Meng Wu died, I visited him and told him about Qin Luoheng."
Hua Ji frowned.
He didn't quite understand what it meant.
Hua Fu continued: "After Meng Wu was in a trance, he told me some things, including details about the attack on Chu. The reason why the Meng family 'betrayed' the Guanzhong clan back then was actually for a reason, but there were just some matters
It’s better to be thick than thin.”
"Can't even scrutinize!"
"When a man is about to die, his words are also good."
"The Meng clan has good relations with the eldest son. However, Meng Wu has actually been teaching Meng Tian and Meng Yi to not rashly take sides. The only one they can be loyal to is the Emperor of Qin."
"I understand what Meng Wu said."
"The reason why he told me those things was because he was worried that if Qin Luoheng came to power and investigated the events of that year, he would blame the Meng family and implicate the entire Meng family. He wanted us to say something for the Meng family in the future.
talk."
Hua Ji still didn't understand.
But something seemed to flash in my mind.
It's just that he didn't catch it for a moment, so it's still a bit confusing.
Hua Fu didn’t go into details.
He said:
"There is a estrangement between His Majesty and Qin Luoheng, but no one has revealed it before, and Qin Luoheng can no longer remember what happened back then, and the First Emperor doesn't want to mention it at all, so His Majesty and Qin Luoheng
Only then can we get along harmoniously. Without Wei Si, this matter would probably be nothing."
"But Wei Si suddenly intervened."
"Things have changed!"
"If my guess is correct, Wei Si was the mastermind behind the 'death' of the Tenth Young Master, at least one of them, so he knew very well what happened in the palace at that time, so that this incident became a basis for him to plot against His Majesty.
"
"After the Wei Si incident."
"The imperial court has never asked Qin Luoheng."
"Isn't this strange?"
Hua Ji's brows also began to frown.
Hua Fu sighed:
"The biggest impact of what Wei Si caused is that His Majesty and Qin Luoheng cannot meet, because Your Majesty doesn't know whether Wei Si Gao told Qin Luoheng what happened that year, and he doesn't know whether Qin Luoheng will give birth to a child.
Other ideas.”
"This is a conspiracy!"
"And Wei Si has succeeded."
"The monarch is suspicious. Your Majesty currently doesn't know Qin Luoheng's true thoughts, so he may continue to treat Qin Luoheng coldly. This obviously played into Wei Si's plan, because Wei Si's family was actually killed by the government, and he hated the Qin Dynasty very much.
.”
"He doesn't want to see Da Qin's kindness."
"Now among your Majesty's disciples, only Qin Luoheng is the most talented."
"If this move can isolate Qin Luoheng from the court, Great Qin may be really in danger, so I called the others over and specifically informed them that Qin Luoheng was the Tenth Young Master, just to let them know
Help each other and make sure Qin Luoheng becomes the tenth son."
"I even want to jointly submit a letter to reinstate Qin Luoheng's identity."
"As long as the status is restored."
"Wei Si's plan has come to nothing!"
"It's just that the other clans are obviously wary because of what happened last time, and they don't want to get involved too deeply. Therefore, I am also powerless. I can only resign myself to fate at the moment. However, the position of the crown prince of Qin is vacant, which is not a good thing after all.
"
"well!"
Hua Fu let out a long sigh.
His eyes were full of loneliness and regret.
Hua Ji also fell silent.
He originally thought that Aweng was confused, but he never thought that Aweng actually did it deliberately. However, the Guanzhong clan had already suffered a serious disaster back then and finally returned to the court. How could they dare to show up in such a thing again?
And they signed a letter together.
Isn’t this another case of forcing the palace?!
Who would dare to risk such a thankless task?
Hua Ji consoled him: "Ah, maybe you are overthinking. Your Majesty is a wise king through the ages. When has he ever made such a mistake? Maybe you are overthinking, and Qin Luoheng is destined to die one day because of what happened in this year.
Exposed.”
"He will naturally regain his identity by then."
"We don't need to rush it."
Hua Fu nodded.
Whispered: "Maybe."
"You must never tell these things."
"The reason why Meng Wu told me, in addition to our close relationship with Qin Luoheng in Huafu, is that my Hua family comes from the clan lineage. In the final analysis, this matter is still an internal matter within the clan and cannot be explained to outsiders!"
Hua Ji quickly assured:
"Aweng, don't worry."
"I will never tell anyone about this."
Hear the words.
Hua Fu nodded.
The night is already deep.
...
It's already mid-November.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and there were few people in Xianyang City. During this month, many things happened in Xianyang, the most concerning of which was the execution of Wei Si.
The resurrected Wei Si implicated many clans.
So much so.
At a time when killings were not expected, people were executed every now and then at the market entrance. In addition to the executions by Wei Si, there was also a major case, that of Mi Sheng, the son of the deceased Yangquan Jun, who was involved in corruption, bribery, and malpractice for personal gain.
This case also has wide implications.
Many nobles from the Six Nations in the city were also implicated.
Within this month, the bloody smell at the market entrance has not dissipated.
It's almost midday.
This turmoil has just come to an end.
Kong Zhai.
During this month, Kong Kun hardly left the house. He had been concentrating on writing articles about his ancestors silently at home, and secretly wrote down the "Poems" and "Books" he had memorized.
He naturally heard about what happened in the city.
but.
It has nothing to do with him.
He didn't dare to get involved.
During this month, he had hidden his private studies, and now there was no trace of Confucianism in Xue County. Indeed, as they expected, after a strict investigation, the government's supervision of their Confucianism began to relax.
This also made Kong Yu secretly relieved.
It was just the burning of books earlier that made him very angry.
But there is nothing you can do.
Just when Kong Yu was silently reciting his "Poetry", Zixiang suddenly came in. Kong Yu took one look and asked: "Brother Xiang, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Zixiang said:
"I found out what the nobles of the six countries are planning."
"Huh?" Kong Yu was startled, then raised his head, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and asked: "What are the nobles of the six countries planning?"
Zixiang said: "They want to escape!"
Kong Yu asked doubtfully: "Isn't this an obvious thing? They are under the supervision of the government in the city, and they are not used to it. It is normal to want to escape, but with the government watching, they can't escape."
Zixiang shook his head and said:
"not necessarily!"
"There has been constant turmoil in the city recently, and many nobles have been implicated, many of whom were directly exterminated. Although most of the families involved are from the Chu family and are more or less related to the Mi family, Qin Ting treated the nobles so arrogantly.
If we take action, won't other nobles be in danger?"
"What was found out this time is the Chu family. In the future, it may be the Zhao family. The Qi family. The power of interpretation lies entirely in the hands of the government. They have no power and can only be at the mercy of others."
"According to what I heard."
"The nobles of the six countries have been secretly colluding for a long time."
"They have even secretly communicated with the officials they have attracted. Now the tension in the city is getting more and more intense. They are afraid that it won't be long before they plot to escape. This is also our opportunity."
Kong Yu was stunned.
Puzzled:
"Our chance?"
"What does the defection of nobles from the six countries have to do with us?"
Zixiang said:
"It's time for us to escape too!"
"The private school has not been exposed yet, but it will be exposed sooner or later. If we don't escape in advance, when the day comes, none of us will be able to escape. Since the nobles of the six countries want to flee, why don't we flee with them?
?”
"Right now, the First Emperor has no murderous intention towards our Confucian family."
"Even if we knew that we had escaped, the most we could do would be to abolish our doctorate positions and demote my Confucianism to the point of being worthless, but we would not really have any intention of killing him. Escape now is indeed our best chance."
"otherwise......"
"After the nobles of the six countries escape, it will be difficult for us to escape again."
