The welcoming officials of the Western Zhou Dynasty looked at this scene one after another.
Murong Shili was determined to betray the Northern King. He smiled and praised, "I heard that the eldest son of the Xie family is very filial. When I saw him today, it was really touching..."
Many civil servants also echoed and praised.
Xie Yuanwen felt happy in his heart. This is what he wants...
Later, the person he bribed would deliberately tell Xie Pingbei that Xie Lingxi was still enjoying himself in the villa after learning that he was assassinated...
Xie Pingbei will know better who is his biological son who really cares about him!
"With such a weak body, how can he be like one of my disciples?" Xie Pingbei frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Vice General Chen, you have to practice Yuanwen well later!"
The accompanying Vice General Chen took the order.
Xie Yuanwen, who was pretending to be dizzy, was so anxious that he almost fainted.
I am worried that you are so sick, why are you not moved? Do you still dislike my poor health?
Of course Xie Pingbei was not unmoved.
It's just that he has always been a strict father, and he is very happy to know that his son cares about him. But this kind of happiness will not be specifically shown.
His son cares about him, and as a father, of course he also cares about his son's health.
Let Vice General Chen train him well, that is his concern.
"Why do you still let him go out when he is so ill and not take good care of him at home?" Xie Pingbei scolded the servants who served Xie Pingbei.
Xie Ruojiao immediately said, "Doctor Xiao told me not to go out. But there are a few quack doctors in the house, but they just say it's okay to go out!"
"These quack doctors have been replaced! From now on, you should all listen to Dr. Xiao more!" Xie Pingbei looked at his precious daughter and showed a kind smile.
Xie Ruojiao smiled and walked forward, holding Xie Pingbei's arm, "Father, when we heard the news of your assassination, we were all worried. Grandma is still waiting for you at the house, let's go back quickly!"
"Okay!" Xie Pingbei nodded slightly.
At this moment, a courtier accompanying the reception suddenly said:
"We were all very worried when we heard that King Bei was assassinated! But the prince and his wife were the most comfortable in the hot springs..."
This courtier is a minor official in the Ministry of Rites.
Xie Yuanwen has been running the government for many years and has a few available people. After all, he is the eldest son of the Northern King, so there will always be people betting on him.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xie Ruojiao got angry immediately.
Unfilial piety is a very serious crime.
Heirs can even be disqualified.
This is very heartbreaking to say.
"My lord, you are not in our village, how do you know that the prince is happy?" Jiang Rong asked back, looking at Xie Lingxi with a distressed look on his face:
"My husband was assassinated in southern Xinjiang and was seriously injured. He went to the hot springs to recover from his illness. When I heard the news that my father-in-law was assassinated, I was so anxious that I became seriously ill... It will take more than half a month to recover!"
Hmm, are you the only one who can pretend to be sick?
Xie Pingbei was also speechless at the civil servant who was making trouble. His son went to save him personally, but on the surface he could only find excuses to stay in the villa.
He still has to be criticized by the world and slandered by the world for his unfilial piety!
No one can say anything bad about his precious son!
"The prince is very filial to me, and I know it best." Xie Pingbei gave the civil servant a warning look:
"Don't talk nonsense about things you don't know!"
The civil servant was so stared at that he didn't dare to say another word.
Xie Yuanwen, who was pretending to be dizzy, completely fainted from anger.
Why don't you praise me even when you are so ill, but you still praise Ling Xi for being filial!
When the courtiers saw this scene, they would not interfere in the Xie family's housework.
Murong Shili poured a bowl of water flat and continued to praise, "Prince Xie is also very filial to the prince. Alas, this is all the fault of the Xun family, it is so abominable! He actually did this to my great hero of Great Xia!"
Xun Shiquanshou has not confessed so far.
Despite the punishment from Mingxinsi, Xun Chi was blamed for everything.
Xun He is a weakling, and he will do anything under the punishment of Ming Xinsi.
But he didn't know how his father arranged it. I only know that his father once said that he would not let Xie Pingbei return to Beijing...
Because the evidence is insufficient, the case has not yet been concluded.
But the Duanwang Party was naturally unable to let go of the Xun family easily, so they wrote a letter to the Xun family.
The situation is still deadlocked.
Murong Shili also deliberately mentioned this matter in front of Xie Pingbei, hoping that he would put pressure on the emperor and immediately destroy the entire Xun family.
"Yes, this Xun Shiquan did such a heartless thing and refused to admit it in order to survive. Does he think he can save his life without taking action?" Lin Yide followed.
Xie Pingbei didn't answer, but his eyes were cold. Xun Shiquan still wants to save his life?
joke.
Didn't his people die in vain?
……
Xie Pingbei first went back to Xie's house to see the old concubine, and then went to the palace to see the emperor.
The emperor expressed his cordial condolences and expressed his appreciation to Xie Pingbei, and then said with emotion, "God bless Daxia that you can come back safely. Beimo has gone back on his word, and I will never take this matter well!"
"I heard that Xun Shiquan refused to admit that he collaborated with the enemy in the murder, so there might be someone behind him. I hope your Majesty will investigate the real culprit behind this case!" Xie Pingbei said solemnly.
Who can instigate Xun Shiquan? If he is not the prince, he can only be the emperor.
The emperor's eyes darkened, and it seemed that he would not give up without giving Xie Pingbei an explanation.
"I will definitely let the Department of Mingxin investigate strictly." The emperor gave him a positive attitude, and then said:
"The sand thieves are rampant in the Western Region and bully our people in Great Xia. Now that the Northern Desert has become a vassal, I intend to transfer you to guard the Western Region. But I can't do without you in the Northern Territory. So I have an idea! Come and tell the Duke of Ding!"
Soon, Duke Dingguo, who had been summoned to wait outside the palace, walked in.
Among the generals of the West, the Duke of Zhenguo is from the Queen's natal family, the Duke of Anguo is from the natal family of the King of England, the Dong family has taken refuge with Prince Duan, and only Duke Ding is a neutral party.
Li Yi, Duke of Dingguo, was an old man with a white beard and a veteran minister of three dynasties.
His identity is a bit embarrassing, he is the maternal grandfather of Prince Zhaoren. Since the prince's death in battle, the Li family and the Xie family have had a big quarrel, and both sides have become hostile.
Because the Duke of Dingguo decided that Xie Jiajun should bear the main responsibility for the death of the prince in battle!
"I have decided to let the Luoyu Army of Duke Dingguo guard the northern border, but before that, I have to ask the Luoyu Army to obey the orders of the Northern King for one year. I wonder what the will of Duke Dingguo will be like?" the emperor asked deliberately.
He has made arrangements, can Duke Dingguo resist the decree?
Duke Dingguo looked gloomy and said, "Your Majesty has given orders, and no one dares to disobey them."
"Very good, very good! Then I'll leave Northern Xinjiang to my two beauties!" The emperor squinted his eyes and smiled.
Xie Pingbei and Li Yi walked out of the palace ignoring each other.
But when he returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion, Li Yi did not lose his temper. Instead, he called his most favored granddaughter and said:
"Let your brother and the others go to fight with Chen Guangzong, but don't really cause any deaths!"
Miss Ninth from Duke Dingguo's mansion smiled brightly and said, "My granddaughter understands. It's just like before, it's just a show for the emperor."
The Li family does not support any prince, because based on their status, they have already chosen a prince.
