"What's next?" Xu Qinghuan asked his father in a low voice.
Marquis Anyi said: "After Nie gave birth to her child, someone tried to arrange marriage for Nie Rong, but Nie Rong sternly refused."
Proposing a marriage to Nie Rong at this time was actually forcing him to divorce his wife. Nie was rumored to be related to Japanese pirates. If Nie Rong cut off contact with her, it would be considered as showing his attitude to the world.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Let me guess, the person you said you are close to is a member of the Zhang family, right?" He was worried about the late emperor's needs, so that he could gain the late emperor's trust. How could the Zhang family let go of this opportunity? "Nie
Rong's disobedience is also a disgrace to the late emperor, who will definitely be very disappointed. He never thought that in Nie Rong's heart, a woman is more important than proving loyalty to the late emperor."
Marquis An Yi continued: "Mr. Nie hanged herself because of this incident. Fortunately, Nie Rong found out in time and saved his life. However, after this incident, there were more and more rumors outside, saying that Mr. Nie did this intentionally.
."
Xu Qinghuan could think of what people in the capital said about Nie. If she wanted to die, how could she be saved? Such words were to force Nie to die again: "There is nothing wrong with Nie, and what happened to her should be treated as such."
We sympathize with the Japanese pirates who are really guilty, but everyone points their finger at a weak woman like Nie."
A thought flashed through Xu Qinghuan's mind. After the murderer cut out Master Sun Er's tongue and returned it to Mrs. Sun Er, could it be because Mrs. Sun Er had ridiculed Mr. Nie?
The Zhang family tried to win over Nie Rong by talking about relatives, but they thought the problem was with Nie, so they abused Nie in every possible way. Mrs. Sun's second wife's sister was the wife of the Zhang family, and she wanted to get involved with the Zhang family, so she would naturally take the opportunity to show her favor to the Zhang family.
is that so?
Otherwise, what is the meaning of tongue-cutting?
Marquis An Yi continued: "Nie Rong guarded Mr. Nie day and night until Mr. Nie gave up the idea of committing suicide, and then Nie Rong walked out of the house again to work in the government office." This miserable couple must have felt that everything was finally getting better.
Unexpectedly, Nie Rong was later accused of treason.
Xu Qinghuan said: "After Nie Rong was killed, did Nie and his children also go to prison?"
An Yihou shook his head: "No, after the Yamen rushed to Nie's house, they found that Nie and her children were missing. So some people said that Nie Rong had planned to rebel and had asked the Japanese to take his wife away quietly. Some people said that they saw several
A stranger came to pick up Nie, and the court ordered people to hunt down Nie. Later, he was found outside the capital. However, there was a conflict at that time, and both Nie and her children died. Originally, they were the family members of the rebels, and the bodies were transported to the capital.
It was unnecessary, so the local government buried the body on the spot."
An Yihou couldn't help but feel ups and downs as he thought about the past. He finally calmed down and was about to continue talking when a cheerful voice sounded in his ears.
"Nie Rong may have been wrongly accused, and the Zhang family are not good people, but the King of Wei is also involved in this matter. The King of Wei has no selfish motives in rescuing General Nie, because no matter how far the matter develops, it will be beneficial to him.
If Nie Rong really cared about King Wei's good deeds, he would not move closer to King Wei. Even if Nie Rong was unmoved, King Wei also showed his concern for the country and the people in front of the late emperor. From then on, King Wei simply
Even if they harbor evil intentions, in the final analysis, this is still an unsolved case. We cannot sympathize with Nie Rong's family blindly. It is true that Nie was kidnapped by the Japanese, and it is not necessarily false that Nie Rong followed the King of Wei and rebelled.
poor person must have something mean."
When An Yihou heard this, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face.
Xu Qinghuan seemed not to notice anything strange about his father, and continued: "After returning from Fengxiang, I also suspected that the so-called rebellion of Zhao Chong might be the result of someone secretly planning it, with the purpose of causing chaos in the court. The late emperor was helpless and had no choice but to put Zhao Chong into chaos.
Please come out of the mountain, so that King Wei can return to the court openly and honestly. If you say that you saved Zhou Dynasty from water and fire, it will pave the way for future rebellion. The late emperor just looked away and believed in this younger brother. I heard that the late emperor still
Bury the King of Wei in the imperial mausoleum, and rebellious officials and traitors like this..."
"Shut up." An Yihou suddenly interrupted Xu Qinghuan's words sharply.
Xu Qinghuan calmed down. This was the first time her father spoke to her in such a tone.
An Yihou seemed to be frightened by him, he took a deep breath and said: "You are not allowed to say such mean words again."
"My daughter's words are not harsh," Xu Qinghuan said. "When people outside mention the King of Wei, they will immediately call him a Wei thief. My daughter was just telling the truth. The disaster of the Wei thief really shook the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and made the Great Zhou Dynasty just like this."
Even if my daughter doesn't tell her that she has been devastated, Zhou Shi will still remember it clearly."
An Yihou said nothing more, but waved his hand with a tired look on his face: "It's getting late, go back and rest!"
"Father is angry?" Xu Qinghuan looked at An Yihou with a pair of clear eyes, "Father has never lost such a temper to his daughter."
"No," An Yihou said in a low voice, "I'm just a little tired. In the future...it's not appropriate to talk about these things too much."
Xu Qinghuan brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Marquis Anyi: "Does my father think that my daughter's statement just now is too biased, or is she complaining about the injustice of the King of Wei? My father has been defending Nie Rong, and he has determined in his heart that Nie Rong was wronged. Since Nie Rong
Being wrongly accused, the King of Wei naturally had an inside story for his rebellion. Is my daughter right?"
The unexpected question made An Yihou freeze up. He didn't even notice it.
"It seems that my daughter guessed it right." Xu Qinghuan whispered.
Marquis Anyi looked at Qing Huan. Qing Huan deliberately came to tell him about Nie Rong to test his attitude. He was unknowingly plotted by his daughter.
Qing Huan used this incident to explore the secrets hidden in his heart.
"Don't talk nonsense," said Marquis An Yi, "if people find out..."
"Father is afraid that we are in danger," Xu Qinghuan said, "Does father really think that we can be safe without telling us anything?
Even if there is danger in the future, what's the use of my father risking his life to save our family? When something happens to my father, we will all be kept in the dark, and this regret will follow us throughout our lives."
An Yihou didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Father, don't treat me and my brother as children. Today I can say such words to force my father to reveal the truth. In the future, I can also find out clearly what my father has hidden, but it may take a lot of trouble.
You may also encounter danger.”
Hearing this, An Yihou's heart sank and he turned to look at his daughter. Her daughter's eyes were clear and bright.
An Yihou seemed to be inspired. Now that the truth has been exposed, he would not believe Qing Huan even if he denied it. He couldn't help but sigh: "The rebellion case happened so fast back then. Many things have not been clarified. Although some people questioned it afterwards.
This matter...But since the whole family of King Wei was killed, there is no point in saying anything else."
Xu Qinghuan said: "But my father did not give up on pursuing the truth."
An Yihou didn't know what to say. He didn't give up. It should be said that he didn't need to investigate at all. He believed in the character of King Wei from the bottom of his heart, but how could he, a man who led troops to quell the chaos, say such things?
An Yihou sighed and said: "I haven't figured out the other things yet. The only thing that is certain is that the Zhang family was behind the rebellion. After the incident with King Wei, the Zhang family was completely transformed and gained the trust of the late emperor.
, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Zhang family became more and more arrogant, and everyone in the government dared not speak out against them. If there is a chance, I will naturally accuse the Zhang family in the court."
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Does father know that the Zhang family may be involved in smuggling?"
Marquis An Yi said: "Of course I know, but smuggling may be a big deal to others, but the Zhang family..."
"Master Marquis," a servant's voice suddenly came from the door, "My wife suddenly feels heartache."
An Yihou's expression changed drastically and he immediately stood up.
