Chapter 448 She is not stupid
Faced death
Hearing his father's words, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Up to now, although most of the senior sects in the world still think that he is a playboy, there are still many people who know his true status in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In this current situation, before he is able to protect himself, it would be a good choice to fake his death to fade out of the sight of these people and turn behind the scenes.
But the problem is,
Can this be kept secret?
Three of the five people who set up an ambush to assassinate him in Huizhou had already died, but two of them escaped alive.
If those two people tell this matter, they will directly become gangsters.
And the serious consequences of being in a gang.
Xu Changtian is clearly not dead, but your prime minister announced to the world that he has passed away. What does this mean?
The top leaders of all parties are not idiots.
Once the context of the whole matter is exposed to the eyes of the top leaders of the world's forces, whether it is the mass assassination or the deliberate concealment by the Prime Minister's Office, there is no doubt that Xu Changtian was originally a playboy, but to the Prime Minister's Office It is an extremely important existence.
Xu Yuan’s identity secret, which was originally limited to a very small area, will be spread to the whole world.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Yinhe's indifferent face across the stone table, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that his question was stupid.
How could this father not think of the things he could think of?
He did this because Jian Tiange did not dare to say it.
The person who held Lou Ji down, Shaofan, wiped out all the evidence related to Jiantian Pavilion before he died. If the information was exposed at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the world that they were responsible for the assassination? ?
Xu Yuan breathed out lightly, and then asked in a low voice:
“Father, are you going to make a fuss out of my fake death?”
Xu Yinhe picked up the teapot in front of him and poured himself a cup. His voice was unhurried and slow:
“A lot of things happened while you were in coma. The interior of our prime minister’s office needs some simple cleaning, and some of the fence-sitters placed in the court by the sect also need an unfounded charge before they can be sent on their way.”
The blue sky is vast, and the warm sunshine is like a waterfall.
Xu Yuan glanced at the koi bubbling in the pond outside the pavilion and frowned slightly.
This father’s words are not long, but the message is big.
The situation in Dayan is now obviously more tense than before he fell into coma. At this time, it is obviously not a wise decision to conduct a major purge within the Prime Minister's Office.
However, Xu Yuan didn’t have much objection to this.
after all,
In the world lines in "Cangyuan", the Prime Minister's Mansion almost had the advantage of being able to ride a flying dragon, but it collapsed inexplicably.
This matter has external factors from the Jiantian Pavilion, but similarly, there should be some internal problems within the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Due to memories of previous lives,
Xu Yuan was able to confirm the loyalty of top bosses such as Lou Ji and Zong Qingsheng to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he was unable to confirm the people at the lower level, as well as those core figures of the Prime Minister's Mansion who had not appeared in "Cangyuan" of loyalty.
The father mentioned this matter at this time, so he must have made some discoveries.
Just as I was thinking about it, Xu Yinhe’s gentle voice came from the opposite side:
“I thought that Chang Tianqian would give advice to the father.”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and met the gaze as sharp as an eagle.
Xu Yuan felt a little scared in his heart, and then smiled slightly:
“But father, there must be your reason for what you do.”
Xu Yinhe’s calm but sharp eyes were still staring at Xu Yuan’s eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up:
“About this matter, Changtian, don’t you have anything to say?”
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan sighed and said softly:
“Father, it is not wise to engage in internal purges at this time, but if we don’t do this now and the situation becomes completely chaotic later, it will be too late.”
Xu Yinhe took a sip of the fragrant tea in the porcelain cup and said with a smile:
“Changtian, when did you learn the rhetoric of the ministers in court?”
Xu Yuan slapped his lips together. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he spread his hands and said casually:
“I don’t know about your men, what can I say about this?
“Although the old people in the Prime Minister’s Mansion have been with you all their lives, it doesn’t mean that they will be the same as they were at the beginning.
"Before, you and them were barefoot and had no worries, but now you have become famous. Even if you can go further, for them"
“Changtian, be careful what you say.” Xu Yinhe interrupted Xu Yuan’s words.
"Isn't that what you asked me to say?" Xu Yuan smiled, then glanced at the silent courtyard around him: "And there are no outsiders here?"
Xu Yinhe stared at Xu Yuan helplessly for a few seconds, shook his head and whispered:
“There are indeed no outsiders, but if your eldest brother or uncle hears such words, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
“Long sky,
“Even if the speaker doesn’t mean it, once something starts to take root, it will take root in the heart.”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.
This is because he was a little negligent, or he has not fully adapted to his current status.
In this second center of power of the Dayan Dynasty, if you say something, even if it is a joke, the people below may take it seriously and make preparations.
If you make this kind of joke too often, you may wake up one day and suddenly see a bunch of subordinates holding an imperial robe blocking the door of your door, and then kneeling down to force you to put it on.
Nodding, Xu Yuan changed the subject again and whispered:
“In short, people will change. Even if the ideals were firmer back then, decades later, there will be more or less changes.
“It is clear that you can enjoy wealth and glory by taking a step back, but you, the leader, want to continue your original ideal. It is not surprising that these people have other ideas.
“Purge this group of people, although it will cause some temporary pain, it will be of great benefit to the future.”
He said,
Xu Yuan changed the subject and his voice was slightly surprised:
“But father, did you say there are still people from the sect in the court?”
Compared to the fact that his father wanted to carry out a big purge, Xu Yuan was more surprised by this.
Although this father’s words are very light, the meaning behind them is very serious.
The Holy Emperor in the Jinluan Palace and the old man in front of him have been in control of the court all year round. The important ministers have been purged long ago, leaving only the royalist faction and the Prime Minister's Office.
Now that there are people from the sect in the court, it means that the sect's inner ghosts have appeared in the prime minister's office and the imperial party.
Regarding Xu Yuan’s question, Xu Yinhe’s words were taken for granted:
"Changtian, don't underestimate the people of the world, let alone the sect. The reason why they are passively controlled in everything now is just because their internal interests are not unified temporarily.
“There may be people from them in the Black Lin Army, Gewüyuan, and even Lou Ji’s Black Scale Guards.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan sighed softly.
No matter how good Sister Lou Jina’s intelligence work is, she cannot avoid this problem.
Because this is a fundamental problem caused by the rapid expansion of the Prime Minister's Office.
The Prime Minister’s Office has grown into the behemoth it is today over the past few decades, which means that it will inevitably absorb a large amount of fresh blood from outside.
And just like Lou Ji could sow seeds everywhere in the world decades ago, allowing them to grow everywhere and become the subordinates of the Black Scale Guards, the sect and even the royal family can also do whatever they want to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The same thing.
Looking at the calm and calm expression of the father opposite him, Xu Yuan understood clearly.
This dad is at his best.
He was telling him that the current situation of the Prime Minister's Office was actually not as good as it seemed on the surface.
Although there is error tolerance, if you make a wrong step, you will still pay a high price. After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:
Xu Yinhe smiled slightly and replied softly:
“Because the Imperial Guards have entered the capital.”
The Imperial Guards entered Beijing
When Xu Yuan heard this, his thoughts spread, and he instantly understood why the evil spirits hidden in the emperor and the prime minister's parties in the court jumped out at this time.
The sect needs to raise some voices in the court about matters in the north.
It's very tasteless and red tape, but it is necessary.
At present, rituals and music have not yet collapsed, and everything must be done according to the rules.
In the Dayan Dynasty, absolute righteousness came from the temple.
If there were no such voices in the court, the sect's affairs in the northern border would always be absolutely passive because of righteousness.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan looked at his father opposite and murmured:
“Father, the Imperial Master is entering the capital at this time.”
“He also brought his apprentice.” Xu Yinhe interrupted his murmur.
.”Xu Yuan.
Who is the apprentice of the Imperial Master?
Xu Yuan licked the corners of his lips and asked tentatively:
“Ran Qingmo is here too?”
"right."
Xu Yinhe had a smile on his lips, but looked at Xu Yuan with a somewhat complicated look:
“Moreover, she is now in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
ˆ “.”
The moment he heard this, Xu Yuan's eyes went blank and he felt like his brain was shutting down.
It's not that he was too surprised that Da Bingtuozi was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't understand why Da Bingtuozi would stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Now that the Imperial Guard has entered the capital, the important ministers in the court have switched from the original emperor and prime minister to the sect.
Now this old man has to deal with those whose sects are above the court, but Da Bingtuozi, the apprentice of the Imperial Master, remains in their Prime Minister's Mansion.
What does it mean?
Xu Yinhe looked at Sanzi's reaction, and his eyes looked quite satisfied.
He was very satisfied that the look that flashed through the other person's eyes for the first time was doubt, not joy.
This means that he is not a person who will let his emotions influence his rational judgment.
“If you have any doubts, you can ask your father directly.”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the old man would give him a look at this time and let him realize it.
But fortunately, none of the senior officials in the prime minister's office, including my father, have the habit of being a riddle to the prince.
“Given the current situation, why is Ran Qingmo in my prime minister’s residence?”
Xu Yinhe explained straightforwardly:
“Because my father and Ran Jianli have reached a cooperation against Jiantian Pavilion, and one of the conditions is to ensure the safety of his disciple Ran Qingmo.”
Aiming at Jiantian Pavilion.
Xu Yuan subconsciously thought of the face of the doormat saint, and then felt a slight headache.
What is this?
Join the eldest wife and beat up the second wife together?
Funny thoughts flashed by, and then Xu Yuan returned to the topic.
Xu Yuan was not surprised that this old man would target Jiantian Pavilion.
Him himself was assassinated and turned into a monster. As a father, this father naturally would not swallow this breath.
“But...we should have no evidence.”
“As a father, I just treat others in their own way. I don’t need any evidence, I just need a list provided by Ran Jianli.”
“Then it’s on this list?” Xu Yuan’s voice was low and tentative.
“Don’t worry, there is no such saint.”
.”Xu Yuan.
After a while of silence, Xu Yuan sighed faintly and asked in a low voice:
"I probably know about this, but father, what happened in the north during the month I was in coma?"
For this question, Xu Yinhe did not answer immediately, but just said:
“Things in the north are a bit complicated and I can’t explain them clearly at the moment. If you are curious, you can go to the study and read the memorials and internal references from the past month.”
Speaking of which,
Xu Yinhe paused for a moment, looked at the imperceptible worry in the eyes of the three sons in front of him, and sighed:
“You don’t have to worry, even if something happens to you, nothing will happen to that girl Wu Yuan.”
Hearing these supplementary words, Xu Yuan smiled sarcastically.
He felt that he had been completely seen through by this father.
"well"
Xu Yinhe sighed softly, gathered up the black dragon robe on his body, stood up slowly, and asked casually with a smile:
“Changtian, since Ran Jianli’s disciple is in the mansion, do you want to go see her? She has been waiting for you in the mansion for more than a month?”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this question, the image of Da Bingtuozi wearing a curtain came to mind. A smile subconsciously appeared on Xu Yuan's lips. He was about to nod in response, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.
Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
“Did father just say that he wanted to tell the world about the child’s death?”
"Um."
“Father, you are cooperating with the National Preceptor. Does he know the specific situation of the child?”
“I don’t know.”
ˆ “.”
After a few breaths of silence, Xu Yuan said quietly:
“In that case, it’s better to disappear.”
Xu Yinhe stood in the pavilion, the warm wind blowing through his black robe, and he looked at Xu Yuan deeply:
“Changtian, you can’t trust that girl named Ran?”
Xu Yuan looked helpless and shook his head:
"No, I believe her. If I tell her that my life needs to be kept secret, she will not tell her master about it."
“Then why didn’t you see me?” Xu Yinhe asked.
The words fell into silence.
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the blue sky, and murmured softly:
“Although Ran Qingmo doesn’t look smart, she is actually not stupid.
“It would be very difficult for her to tell her this.”
