Time is slow

   Chapter 654 No regrets

   Having said this, the Marquis of Jing'an was already in tears.

   He has always firmly believed that the secrets spoken will no longer be secrets, so the less people know about the secrets of the orphans of Zhenyuanhou, the better.

   Over the years, he has felt guilt, depression, and fear, but he never regretted saving the young son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

  The Marquis of Zhenyuan used to be the backbone of Daliang, provoking thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. For such a person, his blood cannot be broken.

"Lanshan has been in control of the government for more than ten years, and it's not just flattery. After the rumors that you are a foreigner spread, I thought about it and felt that I might not be able to hide this from him, so I called you over. , can't keep you in the dark."

   Shao Mingyuan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

   What can he say? Thank God for treating him well and letting him get rid of the humiliating status of the outer chamber?

   But what about the lives of his entire clan?

  The monarch to whom he was loyal was the executioner who brutally murdered his entire clan, even young children.

   Shao Mingyuan has never felt so dazed.

   He knew that this kind of thinking was outrageous, but the resentment swirled in his chest and had nowhere to vent.

The Marquis of Jing'an obviously brought out an old voice and sounded in his ears: "I have arranged for your third brother to go to Heyu Bailu Academy to study, where there are my old subordinates, if something goes wrong at home, at least they can protect him incognito. Life. Ming Yuan, I told you this secret for my father, so that you know what to do. If you can deal with it, it would be better. I am incompetent for my father, and there is no better way than passively waiting for Lanshan's actions."

  In the capital, military generals will never be able to outsmart civil servants.

  The revolt of the scholars failed for ten years, and no literati rebelled for hundreds of years to change the dynasty. Therefore, the emperors of all times would subconsciously fear military generals, and trust civil officials more.

   Those who have led the army will be taken back once they return to the capital, just like a tiger in a cage. Except for the fact that it looks scary, there is no threat at all, and it is nothing compared to those of the emperor's close officials who can decide life and death by casually touching their lips.

  Jing'an Hou looked at Shao Mingyuan deeply.

   He knew that this child was different, because of his unique ability to lead troops, even if he was also a caged tiger, the one on the dragon chair would not open the knife casually.

   But the former Marquis of Zhenyuan was also outstanding, and in the end, it was impossible to escape the end of the bird.

   "Father, you...don't worry about me..." Shao Mingyuan's voice was low and his expression was inexplicable, "What about Big Brother and the others?"

   "They?" Pain flashed in Jing'an Hou's eyes, "Your eldest brother can't leave, he will be seen by Lan Shan once he leaves."

   Having said this, the Marquis of Jing An closed his eyes: "Your eldest brother is the prince, this is the responsibility he should shoulder, and the punishment he should bear."

   As early as the day he took in Zhenyuan Hou's young son, he had thought about the ending after the incident was exposed countless times, but he did not regret it.

  If he regrets it, what are the censors who were killed by the dragon column? What are those ministers who angered the emperor and lost his official position or even his life because of their pleas? What are the righteous people who killed themselves in order to keep the secret after covering the escape of the young son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan?

  The Marquis of Zhenyuan did not hesitate to protect the country at all costs, and they would naturally do whatever it takes to save this drop of blood for him.

   Shao Mingyuan knelt down on one knee.

  Jing'an Hou hurriedly leaned over to help him: "Ming Yuan, what are you doing?"

   "Father, please rest assured, I won't let you have any trouble."

  Jing'an Marquis helped Shao Mingyuan up and looked worried: "Mingyuan, what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Shao Mingyuan was silent, the Marquis of Jing'an was taken aback: "Mingyuan, don't be impulsive. I know you are outstanding, but your personal guards are only a few hundred people, not to mention the guards in the capital, only the Jinlin guards. There are nearly 10,000 people, and once confronted with them is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Not to mention—”

  Jing'an Hou gave Shao Mingyuan a deep look: "What's more, your father is an admirable and loyal minister. You can't ruin his reputation because of impulsiveness."

   "Father, where did you go. Don't worry, I won't mess around."

   "Just don't mess around." The Hou Jingan breathed a sigh of relief.

   "But to be on the safe side, it's just right for the third brother to go to Bailu Academy to study."

  Jing An Hou Qiang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I will let him go out tomorrow."

   Having said this, the Marquis of Jing An hesitated for a while and asked, "Ming Yuan, what are you going to do?"

  Shao Mingyuan was silent for a moment and said, "I will find a way to redress the injustice of the entire family of the Marquis of Zhenyuan."

   "It's impossible!" The Hou Jingan blurted out.

   Shao Mingyuan's eyes flashed slightly.

  Jing'an Hou sighed: "The original will was determined by the emperor. If Zhenyuan Hou can settle his grievances, wouldn't the emperor admit that he was wrong?"

   Given the stubborn nature of Emperor Kang, how could he admit that he was wrong?

   "When you have to admit it, then you have to admit it." A cold light flashed in Shao Mingyuan's eyes, "Father, I'll go back first."

   "Go get busy."

   Shao Mingyuan walked outside, just in time to meet the wife of the prince, Mrs. Wang, who was walking here, followed by a maid who was carrying a food box.

   "Sister-in-law."

   "Second brother, is this going back?"

"Yes."

   "Let's stay and have a meal with Lord Hou. Lord Hou hasn't eaten much in the past two days, and these meals are just enough for two people."

   "No, sister-in-law, there are still things in my house." Shao Mingyuan declined, "sister-in-law persuade father more for me, take care of your health before we can talk about other things."

   Seeing that Shao Mingyuan was in a hurry, Mrs. Wang did not persuade him any further: "Since the second brother has something to do, then I won't leave you, the second brother walks slowly."

   At the door of the study, Mrs. Wang took the food box from the maid and knocked gently on the door: "Master Hou, can my daughter-in-law come in?"

"come in."

   Mrs. Wang walked in with her maid and persuaded: "Master Hou, my daughter-in-law heard that you have a poor appetite, and specially ordered the kitchen to make vinegar pickled melon strips and black-bone chicken porridge. You can eat a little more."

   "Put things down, I'll eat them later."

   Mr. Wang hesitated and said, "Just now, my daughter-in-law met my second brother, and the second brother also said that you can talk about other things when you take care of your health."

   "I'm bothering you." The Hou Jingan looked at Wang's young face and sighed in his heart, then asked, "Wang, I remember that next month will be your father's 50th birthday, right?"

   Wang was startled, then nodded.

   "Although your mother's house is far away, you shouldn't miss the 50th birthday of your in-laws. You should pack up and go back to your mother's house in the next two days."

   "Daughter-in-law was going to tell Hou Ye that brother Qiu'er and Xiao Niuniu were too young. My daughter-in-law was worried that they would get sick with the two of them. This time I only plan to take my brother."

  Jing'an Hou was silent for a moment, then smiled reluctantly: "Yes, they are too young, just stay, you can just take your brother back..."

   Speaking of the latter, the voice of the Marquis of Jing'an was hoarse and hoarse, and Mrs. Wang was surprised and could not think of a reason, so she persuaded the Marquis of Jing'an to leave.
