Chapter 554: Change Your Perspective and Think About It
Xie Jin shook his head: "I have nothing to worry about. Since I chose this path, I never thought it would go smoothly. I am worried about Xuanyuan Yao."
Don't expect to be comfortable working with a master like Rong Yu.
Enjoying comfort has always been the privilege of corrupt officials.
However, when faced with a master like Rong Yu, corrupt officials are destined not to live long.
Therefore, before entering the officialdom, Xie Jin had already thought about what he would face in the future, and he was even mentally prepared for the matter with Xuanyuan Yao.
The only thing he didn't expect was that the idiot Xuanyuan Yan would cause trouble for him, and that Commander Yang, who couldn't understand the situation, would stab him on the sidelines, causing the death of several guards.
The situation is serious, and a neglect of duty that could have been laughed off has become a serious mistake.
"There's nothing to think about." Xie Shoufu's tone was calm, obviously not thinking that this was an issue that needed to be entangled, "No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that the two of you neglected your duties. You are pursuing your own affairs in your position and enjoying the benefits of this status. For your honor, you must bear corresponding responsibilities.”
As he said that, he couldn't help but touched his son's head again, as if to comfort him: "If you neglect your duty, face it calmly. Nothing is more important than honesty and responsibility."
Since his son grew up, he hadn't done such an action for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
Xie Jin allowed him to show his tenderness as a loving father, and said in a light voice: "But Xuanyuan Yao was dragged by me——"
"Being dragged down by you?" Mr. Xie raised his eyebrows, "He was willing to do it, wasn't he? No one was forcing him with a knife."
Of course, if someone really forced him with a knife, the proud little leopard might just stab the person who forced him to death.
Xie Jin frowned: "What my father said is not very pleasant to hear. He is your future daughter-in-law. How can your father be so cold and heartless?"
Xie Shoufu expressed non-committal about having a man as his daughter-in-law.
"Jin'er, when you were attracted to him, you knew exactly what kind of person you liked." Xie Shoufu put his hands on his hands, "He is not a delicate dodder flower that needs your constant care. If you want to fight side by side with him, You can't always try to protect him, as this will destroy his pride sooner or later."
There was a slight pause in his tone, "The men in the military camp are proud and have backbone. They are fierce horses on the galloping grassland and eagles soaring in the sky. They are not weak young men raised in brocades who can only coy. You have to understand this. Maybe It won’t be so confusing.”
Xie Jin remained silent.
"My father has to go to the palace, you should think about it yourself." Xie Shoufu said, "There is no need to get into trouble, you just need to change your perspective and think about it from Xuanyuan Yao's point of view, and you will understand that your worries at the moment are unnecessary. "
Xie Jin raised his eyes: "Can father really recognize my feelings for Xuanyuan Yao?"
Xie Shoufu stroked his chin and asked instead, "If I don't approve, will you give up?"
Xie Jin said: "No."
"Isn't that enough." Xie Shoufu smiled lightly, "Since I know you won't give up easily, why should I oppose you? In the end, if father and son turn against each other because of this matter, it will be more gain than loss."
"But most people in the world cannot accept it."
"The world is the world, and we are us." Xie Shoufu sneered, "My father is now the first minister of the first rank, and he has to do many things every day. How can he have time to pay attention to what those unimportant people say? There are only mediocre and idle people. Talented people will have nothing to do all day long, always thinking about criticizing things that have nothing to do with them, in order to show their superiority to others——"
"Father." Xie Jin interrupted him with a strange expression, "The tone of your words is very similar to my mother's. This should be my mother's line."
Xie Shoufu's expression was just like that, and then he looked at him lightly, "The cold wind blew in the middle of the night, so take a hot bath and sleep quickly. I will handle the affairs in the palace for you, and you can get up and deal with the aftermath by yourself in the afternoon."
Without saying anything more, he turned around and left.
Xie Jin silently watched his back and couldn't help but smile.
He is lucky to have such an open-minded and tolerant father and mother.
…
Things in the palace are not over yet.
The King of Wei and his wife had been restless since they left the palace last night, as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They kept asking for news in the palace. However, Xie Jin left the palace after finishing his work. After the palace door was locked, all the news They were all isolated within the palace gate.
The couple waited for more than two hours. As soon as the palace door opened in the morning, King Wei and his wife couldn't wait to go into the palace to inquire about the news. After learning that Xuanyuan Yan had been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, their expressions changed and they kept talking without stopping for a moment. Go and see the Supreme Emperor.
It's a pity that the gate of Yong'an Palace is closed tightly, and no one can be seen by the Supreme Emperor.
At that moment, King Wei and his wife really felt what despair felt like.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
King Wei, who had been rejected, finally realized the current situation. He was ill and went to the doctor to see Prince Jing and Prince Huai, and even several old princes from the royal family. However, the assassination case in the imperial study was not a trivial matter, even though the Dongling royal family had rarely There was a prince who was executed, and no one wanted to get involved in such a thing this time.
For the King Wei's family's constant attempts to commit suicide for more than a year, they could only sigh, and finally shook their heads helplessly to express regret.
While King Wei was angry, the uneasiness and despair in his heart also deepened.
In the end, he had no choice but to lower his status and look for Prime Minister Xie. Since Xuanyuan Yan was the grandson of the emperor, the Prince of Wei's Mansion and the Xie family have been in opposition. The Xie family has never looked down on the Prince of Wei's Mansion. After the Prince of Wei's Mansion failed to win over Prime Minister Xie many times, they also developed strong hostility and dissatisfaction with them.
The Prince of Wei and his son even secretly swore that as soon as Xuanyuan Yan ascended the throne, the Xie family must disappear from the imperial capital.
However, things are unpredictable.
Xuanyuan Yan did not become the emperor, and now the Xie family is still prosperous, but the Prince of Wei's Mansion is about to face the fate of decline and disappearance.
So it is conceivable that Prime Minister Xie, who has always looked down on the Prince of Wei and his son, how could he let them off in this matter? Besides, the case was investigated by his son, and Xuanyuan Yan's selfish and stupid behavior would implicate Xie Jin and be held accountable. Prime Minister Xie would never pay attention to him even if he was crazy.
Facing the King of Wei's surrender, Prime Minister Xie only said one sentence: "If the King of Wei can revive those guards, I can ask for mercy for Xuanyuan Yan after the Regent comes back and save his life."
This sentence made people choke.
The King of Wei returned empty-handed, his face was ashen and depressed. On the other side, the Princess of Wei went to the Dazheng Palace to ask to see the Princess but was also rejected. For the first time in their lives, the couple truly experienced the feeling of having no one to turn to for help.
