Chapter 559: Suddenly a letter came from Xianyang...
Chaoge.
Xu Xin, Xu Sheng and other peasant Mohist disciples gathered together.
Their faces were full of worry.
It has been some time since Qin Luoheng returned to Xianyang, but no news has been transmitted, and they have also learned that many officials in the government and the public are dissatisfied with the Tenth Young Master and are constantly impeaching him, which makes them more and more nervous about impeaching him.
Especially a piece of news that came out recently.
The crown prince of Qin Dynasty might be decided, which frightened them even more.
indoor.
A peasant boy muttered:
"Brother Xu, you've really done us a disservice this time."
"Our peasant family is not willing to get involved in the fight for the prince. If you had not insisted on staying together, we would never have come here. As a result, what happened to us when we came here?"
"A large number of fellow disciples died of exhaustion and misery, but were not dealt with fairly."
"Now the Tenth Young Master has clearly lost power."
"If the eldest son takes over, what will he think of us?"
"Furthermore, our achievements for the past six months have been leaked by Sima Chang. In other words, we have worked hard and exhausted for the past six months, but in the end we made wedding dresses for others. Not only did we fail,
He will also be hated by others.”
"Brother Xu, you are usually so calm, why are you so out of control this time?"
"When the Tenth Young Master was here, you shouldn't have agreed to him. Then we still had room for maneuver. Now, what should we do now?"
Others also echoed.
"yes."
"What should I do now?"
"News from Xianyang has been coming back one after another in the past few days."
"After the Tenth Young Master returned to Xianyang, he didn't mention us at all, and he stayed in the palace and lived in seclusion. This was obviously being idle. Even so, the memorial to impeach the Tenth Young Master in the court was like snowflakes.
How could the Tenth Young Master fare well this time?"
"Our Mo family has been around for hundreds of years, will it be destroyed by our hands?"
Some people couldn't help sighing.
They are very pessimistic about the future.
I really can't be optimistic.
At first they thought that taking refuge with the Tenth Young Master was a wise choice, but now it seems that it is clearly a way to die. Now something is going to happen to the Tenth Young Master, and if the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be intact?
They may not be able to escape accountability.
A feeling of panic and uneasiness filled the hall.
a long time.
Someone said:
"I didn't agree with taking refuge in the Tenth Young Master from the beginning."
"Our Mohist family is self-reliant. Why do we need to look at other people's faces? Moreover, our Mohist family has never interfered with political affairs. Why did we make such a serious mistake this time?"
"This is really not the case!"
"I obviously didn't do anything!"
Others also said:
"yes."
"This has nothing to do with us."
"We had no idea at all. If we hadn't been deceived, how would we have come to this remote place like Chaoge? Now not only are we giving away most of our achievements, but we are also risking our own lives. Who am I provoking?
?”
"Xu Sheng, should you give us an explanation?!"
"right!"
"Xu Sheng, you have to give us an explanation."
"This matter has nothing to do with us."
"You must explain this matter to the eldest son. Don't try to blame us for the dirty things you did behind your back with the tenth son. We will not admit it."
"..."
Someone in the crowd made a noise, which immediately aroused the rest of the crowd to get excited and began to reprimand Xu Xin Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng and Xu Xin looked at each other.
They are willing to defend themselves.
But he couldn't say anything, and his face was as pale as paper.
All explanations are futile now.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
Based on the situation reported from outside, how could the Tenth Young Master protect them since he was already in trouble? Moreover, even if the Tenth Young Master wanted to help, it might not be of any use.
But when faced with the rebellion of the Mohist disciples from the peasant family, they were also very unhappy.
They do have selfish motives.
But over the years, if they hadn't tried their best to get closer to the Tenth Young Master, how could they have argued with them so confidently?
If he hadn't persuaded him at the beginning, many people in the hall would have fled like the Confucians.
How could they not know what is happening with Confucianism now?
They have tried their best to treat the Mo family, a peasant family. If not, how could they be so desperate? Because they know very well that the eldest son will never get close to them. Even if he gets close, it will be perfunctory at best. In the future, they will only get worse and worse.
Being squeezed out.
They have ambitions in their hearts.
I also wanted to keep my family heritage alive for a long time, so I took the risk.
But in the past two years, no one criticized him?
Now that the Tenth Young Master is in trouble, he immediately jumps out, takes out himself, and then puts all the blame on himself. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
But neither of them was in the mood to argue.
There is no use in arguing.
The top priority now is to inquire about the situation in Xianyang. If something happens to the Tenth Young Master, they can only immediately confess to the Eldest Young Master and ask for forgiveness. After all, the Eldest Young Master is a tolerant person and may not be too embarrassed.
Think of this.
The two of them felt a little calmer.
Xu Xin and Xu Sheng looked at each other, with a look of determination in their eyes.
They have not been idle these days.
Instead, he secretly drafted a document to reprimand Qin Luoheng for his atrocities against the Mohist family in the past few years. The things recorded in it are too numerous to describe. The reason why the Mohist family helped Qin Luoheng was entirely because of Prime Minister Qin Luoheng.
Forced, it is not their original wish.
This is the only thing they can do.
The two of them looked away.
I also sighed in my heart.
'I hope the eldest son is really as kind as the rumors say.'
At this time.
There were bursts of footsteps outside.
The originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
They seemed to have a premonition and their faces turned pale.
soon.
A clerk came in.
He looked around, and finally looked at Xu Xin and Xu Sheng above, and said with a smile: "A letter has been sent from Xianyang, and I asked Dr. Xu to sign for it."
A smile appeared on Xu Xin's face.
He reached out and took it.
He did not dare to open it directly and asked in a low voice: "May I ask the postman how the situation in Xianyang is now?"
The postman gave a wry smile.
He shook his head and said:
"I'm just a postman, how do I know about Xianyang?"
"Dr. Xu is going to tease me."
"I have other letters to send, so I won't stop here."
Finished.
The mailman left in a hurry.
Xu Xin held the letter in his hand, and his palms were slightly sweaty. He felt a little nervous and uneasy, and he didn't even want to open the letter.
Because this is a letter from Xianyang.
And it’s probably a complaint!
Xu Sheng came over.
asked:
"What's in the letter?"
"Has the battle for the crown prince been determined?"
Xu Xin reached out and took out the letter in his hand. He did not open it, but smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xu, I have gone through many hardships in my life, but I don't dare to open this letter. Let Brother Xu
What a joke."
Xu Sheng shook his head and said:
"How can I not know your thoughts?"
"But the matter has come to this, and there is no way to escape. Fortunately, we have made preparations in advance. If the eldest son wins in the battle for the crown prince, we may have to rush to Xianyang immediately and submit the documents written in advance to the eldest son. Otherwise, we may
There is no escape.”
"Alas." The two of them sighed together.
At this time.
Others also came over.
Their faces were also very embarrassed, and they did not dare to ask more about the contents of the document.
See the situation.
Xu Sheng took the letter, took off the seal on it, and took out the letter sealed inside. After reading it, Xu Sheng's face froze.
On the side, Xu Xin felt a little more miserable when he saw this scene.
he knows.
I'm afraid the battle for the crown prince has been settled.
"Brother Xu, it's time to make a decision." Xu Xin whispered, and then turned around to go back to his residence and rush to Xianyang with the documents. At this point, he could only do his best.
Xu Sheng did not respond.
Just when Xu Xin frowned, Xu Sheng's face turned red.
said excitedly:
"Haha, Brother Xu, we are going to Xianyang."
Xu Xin's face darkened and he asked doubtfully: "Brother Xu, are you so frightened? How could you say this in public?"
Xu Sheng was overjoyed and thrust the bamboo piece into Xu Xin's hand.
said excitedly:
"No."
"The crown prince has decided."
"But he is not the eldest son, but the tenth son."
"We are going to Xianyang."
"It's not about asking for sin, but about receiving merit."
"We're fine!"
"..."
Xu Sheng talked a lot in succession, and the excitement and excitement on his face were beyond words. This feeling was really incredible. He had not been so excited for a long time.
A second ago I had consciously stepped into the abyss.
And the next second he entered heaven.
This feeling is so bizarre that it feels very unreal.
Hear the words.
Xu Xin was stunned at first.
Then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
But he didn't overdo it. He quickly stretched out his hand to take the bamboo piece, and then read it word by word. After reading it, he also started laughing.
"Ha ha."
"The Tenth Young Master is indeed his destiny."
"I knew that the Tenth Young Master would be fine. Your Majesty is a saint, and the world is a saint."
Seeing Xu Xin and Xu Sheng suddenly burst into laughter, it startled the others, and after hearing what they said, everyone couldn't help but look a little unnatural.
He quickly asked:
"Is what Brother Xu said true?"
"Your Majesty has really chosen a heir apparent?"
"The Crown Prince or the Tenth Young Master?"
Xu Xin's smile faded and she looked at everyone coldly.
sneered:
"Of course."
"How could I lie about this?"
"If you don't believe it, you can go see it for yourself."
"However, whether the Tenth Young Master is the crown prince or not has nothing to do with you. After all, what you said before was because Xu Sheng and I took it upon ourselves to involve you. I will definitely tell the Tenth Young Master the truth about this matter."
"I will never wait for you unjustly!"
"You can go find the eldest son in the future."
"It's me, Xu Xin, who doesn't deserve it!"
Xu Xin was too lazy to stand up for a while and blocked the words directly. These people in front of him were very enthusiastic about trying to kill him. How could he give them a good face?
Hear the words.
Everyone looked at each other.
But he didn't dare to say any more. He took the piece of bamboo with a nonchalant expression and carefully examined it. After reading it, his expression changed even more.
His expression is very complicated.
a long time.
Only then did someone cough dryly.
He defended: "I have always been very convinced of Brother Xu's ability, otherwise why would I have followed Brother Xu to Chaoge? This time the tenth Young Master has become the Crown Prince, which is my great fortune."
