"It was indeed the King of the West who captured the evidence of the King of the East's rebellion and detained the King of the East back to the capital. However, your father died of a sudden illness and his death had nothing to do with the King of the West." Su Ran pictured to the courtiers and reiterated that he had done so back then.
It's just that the fact that Ximen Xianchu murdered his own son is really hard to explain, so he can only feel wronged by Ximen Zhe. This is probably retribution for his plan to eradicate the King of the East.
Ximenzhe stood in the court very calmly.
"My son, I think too much." Ximen Wuji lowered his head and said.
"We will retreat from the court for the time being. The next day I will hold a ceremony for you to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan. You first go to Jinyang Palace with me and the queen, and tell us about your experiences in recent years." Ximen Hao said.
In front of the ministers, the identity was verified and the explanation was given. The Ximen family had another heir.
In fact, throughout the history of the dynasties, it is not surprising that the royal family has been exiled. The ministers just wanted to know the final result. The emperor recognized it, and they could not say anything.
A group of people came to Jinyang Palace, and even the elderly Queen Mother came with Yu Niang.
Ximen Wuji told everyone that he was taken away from the East Palace that was about to collapse by the Dongwang's subordinates, and then lived incognito in the mountains near southern Xinjiang, living the life of a hunter. He had always thought that he was that subordinate.
The subordinate's son did not find out until five years ago that he was actually a member of the Ximen royal family. The subordinate wanted him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, but he was afraid that Ximen Zhe would frame him. He, a child who grew up outside, could not fight, so
He put it off again and again, until the subordinate died of illness, then he gritted his teeth and decided to identify himself to the general stationed in southern Xinjiang and send it back to Beijing.
"How long have you been living in the mountains?" Ximen Hao asked.
"Yes, I have always made a living by hunting, but my adoptive father didn't want my son to be a ignorant person, so I sent him to study in a private school in the village at the foot of the mountain." Ximen Wuji said.
Everyone looked at Ximen Wuji. He was tall and tall. Except that he looked like Ximen Sheng, he didn't have the gentle and jade-like appearance of Ximen Sheng. At first glance, he looked like a man who had experienced wind and rain. He was strong and strong. He was the same person as Yichen and Ximen Sheng.
I pray that nothing can compare.
"Why didn't your adoptive father send you to the palace earlier? It's been sixteen years since then!" the Empress Dowager scolded. She was so lucky to be alive to see her grandson.
"There was an accident in the Dongwang Mansion, and the adoptive father escaped with his young child. He was afraid that something might happen to the child again, so he kept him quietly in the mountains until the child reached the age of sixteen, and then he told the child the truth and let the child make the decision.
"Ximen Wuji said.
The Queen Mother sighed, after all, this palace is not an ordinary home.
"When you left Dongwang Mansion, you were already five or six years old. Don't you remember what happened back then?" Ximen Zhe asked.
Ximen Wuji looked at Ximen Zhe carefully and said, "My adoptive father said that I was frightened by what happened back then, so I didn't write it down."
"Okay, don't ask anymore, just come back." said the Empress Dowager.
She didn't want to mention the past events of that year again.
At the request of the Empress Dowager, Ximen Wuji temporarily stayed in Chumin Palace.
Ximen Wuji didn't ask for anything. He just said that he wanted to kowtow to his father and do his part as a son of man. Then he asked Ximen Hao for a decree. He just wanted to grant him a courtyard outside the palace. It didn't matter how big or small it was. He wanted to have a courtyard.
The place to stay is.
After all, he is a member of the royal family. King Dong has already paid the price for his past. What’s more, those confusing accounts back then were all secrets in the palace and were ignored. For Ximen Wuji, everyone still regarded him as a young prince living among the people.
Looking at it, even if you don't want to be crowned a king or have a famous family, the place you live in will not be bad.
Ximen Hao didn't think too much, and directly gave Ximen Wuji the Nanwang Palace, which had been vacant for many years, and named him Xiaodong Palace. Although he did not make him king, it showed that his treatment was high, and there would be another one in the capital.
A well-known young master Wuji.
"Yi Qi, what are you thinking about?"
After the banquet for Ximen Wuji, Ximen Zhe saw Ximen Yiqi sitting alone in a daze, so he stepped forward and asked.
"Uncle, what does the emperor mean?" Ximen Yiqi asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? Ximenzhe pretended not to know.
"Although the evidence for General Xia's rebellion is conclusive on the surface, when you think about it deeply, there are still problems. I also paid attention to this matter in Yuehua County, and I cannot rule out the possibility of man-made reasons, so I agreed to Xia Feng's request.
, let him rush back first to find a chance to investigate." Ximen also prayed, "Why did my father admit this? I really can't figure it out."
"Don't you know?" Ximen Yimeng came up and said mysteriously, "I knew it, but I just didn't tell you."
"No matter what you say, I am still your sister." Ximen Yimeng said unconvinced.
"Is this what you are worrying about?" Ximenzhe asked calmly.
"No." Ximen Yiqi shook his head, "There is also Xia Feng, who seems to have unintentionally accepted the general's order and is responsible for escorting brother Wuji back to the capital. However, I found that he and brother Wuji seemed to have been together for a long time.
acquaintance."
"Really?" Ximen Zhe's heart was secretly wondering. Could it be that Xia Feng is related to Ximen Wuji?
This Ximen Wuji suddenly came back. He only said that he wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, but he didn't ask for anything. It seemed that he wanted nothing. However, if he chose to return to the palace, it cannot be ruled out that he had no intention. After all, in the eyes of the world, the royal family, even if it is
As cruel as it is, it's also glamorous and alluring.
"Although he is our brother Wuji, but..." Ximen Yiqi frowned and did not say any more.
"What's wrong with brother Wuji? Isn't it bad to have more brothers?" Ximen Yimeng said, "Not only are there multiple brothers, but there are also multiple sisters. How lively our royal family is!"
"Sister, where did you come from? The Queen is pregnant again?" Ximen Yichen also came over.
"It's not that the queen is pregnant, it's that you are going to have a concubine and a sister." Ximen Yimeng said with a smile.
"Yimeng, please go aside first." Ximen Zhe dismissed Ximen Yimeng.
"Okay," Ximen Yimeng said without saying anything. He clapped his hands and said, "I won't say anything anymore. The emperor said it himself."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Ximen Yichen looked at his father with strange eyes.
"Let's talk about Wuji first." Ximenzhe took the two children and walked to a safer corner, whispering.
After listening to Ximen Yiqi's words, Ximen Zhe seemed to suddenly become enlightened.
According to his experience, the matter between Xia Feng and Ximen Wuji should be their first step. After all, this Ximen Wuji was still affected by his life experience and wanted to do something.
Although I don’t know how the two of them got together, I should be able to imagine that Ximen Wuji must have been able to do something by relying on the complex environment in southern Xinjiang for so many years.
Five or six-year-old children may be frightened and cannot remember what happened back then, but Ximen Wuji must remember that it is not that he does not covet wealth, but that he wants to covet more.
