"Mr. Shangguan is really selfless, I admire him. In this case, there is no need to ask my second question." Lu Hanjiang said.
Indeed, Shangguan Shaoqin's answer solved Lu Hanjiang's long-standing doubts. According to what he had seen, all students taught by Luo Fuzi who had met the Crown Princess had basically no problem with their eyesight, although their abilities varied. .
So he had never figured out before that what attracted Shangguan Shaoqin to Le Zhili and allowed him to indulge him to this extent. Now he finally understood.
"I still want to know, does this Le family have a grudge against you?" Lu Hanjiang asked curiously.
"No."
Shangguan Shaoqin shook his head and said seriously: "This is essentially a transaction. I gave her the honor of Shangguan's wife, allowed her to respect her everywhere, and even brought the Le family's dogs and chickens to heaven. Such benefits, in exchange for them The mother and son, plus the hundreds of lives of the Le family, are worth it."
"Tsk, tsk," Lu Hanjiang's smile deepened, and he asked again: "It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. The life of Shangguan's wife is certainly not worthy of attention, but Shangguan Beicang is your biological son. Could it be that the rumors in the world are... Really, between Madam Ling and Daxia Wen...?"
"This is also something that doesn't happen."
Shangguan Shaoqin said a little speechlessly. He seemed to see the shadow of someone in this disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. This made him helpless and at the same time, he was inevitably a little frightened in his heart.
"Although Mr. Le is not very close to me, I still abide by the rules. Besides, if he is not his biological son, how can he satisfy all the adults?" Shangguan Shaoqin said without caring, and the indifference in his eyes was not even the slightest. I can't even bear to see it.
"This is your only son, sir, are you really willing to give up?" Lu Hanjiang smiled, seemingly persevering.
That familiar feeling came again, and Shangguan Shaoqin seemed to see the person in front of him overlap with the figure in his memory. That was really unlucky.
Shangguan Shaoqin sighed and continued: "The only son plus the legitimate son, this shows that Beicang's life is heavy enough. Besides, as long as I am still alive, are you afraid that the Shangguan family will have no heirs?"
He spread his hands and said jokingly: "Besides, since Beicang was born, I and Le Shi have not slept in the same room. If she can get pregnant like this, do you think I am still happy?"
"I see."
Lu Hanjiang understood clearly. To put it bluntly, Shangguan Beicang, the eldest son, was destined to be a victim from birth, taking Le Zhili with him, but there was still one thing he didn't know.
"Is Wen Chenyang also part of your plan?" Although he asked the question, Lu Hanjiang's tone was affirmative.
Wen Chenyang was involved in a huge case back then, so even after many years, the case files were still complete and available for inspection. However, in these files and documents, Lu Hanjiang only saw four words in the entire article, which were nonsense.
After hearing this question, Shangguan Shaoqin said leisurely: "Brother Wen, there is actually nothing to say about this matter, but since Yue Shaoxia is interested, I will tell you more."
Then, Shangguan Shaoqin recounted what happened that year.
The story is not complicated, or it can be said to be very cliché. Shangguan Shaoqin was aware of the secret conspiracy between the Eastern Palace, or the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince, and felt deeply that the future of the Shangguan family was in danger, so he thought hard about a way to escape.
He had no choice but to break his arm to survive, but Shangguan Shaoqin didn't want to break his arm, and he also didn't want Shangguan to lose too much. After thinking about it, he decided to use the golden cicada to escape from his shell.
The reason why he chose Le Zhili had something to do with Wen Chenyang. In fact, Shangguan Shaoqin had no understanding of Le Zhili at all before. The reason why he chose Le Zhili was more because of the fact that this martial arts expert was known to be very powerful. In the person of the unparalleled benevolent and righteous hero Wen Daxia.
For him, they are all abandoned sons anyway, and having Wen Chenyang as a thug would be a double blessing.
So after Wen Chenyang was imprisoned and Le Zhili was left without a master, Shangguan Shaoqin took advantage of the situation. He used a chance encounter to prove his "love at first sight" and in exchange for rescuing Wen Chenyang, he Le Zhili agreed to the conditions of marriage.
No matter how you look at it, this is a pursuit that is somewhat disgraceful but also deeply rooted in love. Shangguan Shaoqin is very satisfied. He used a big show to successfully obtain a chess piece and the return of a master like Wen Chenyang.
This story is very cliché, but the result is very suitable for Shangguan Shaoqin's needs.
After listening, Lu Hanjiang nodded seriously: "You were also the one who led the case back then, right?"
"Yue Shaoxia is talking about the case of assassinating a high-ranking member of the imperial court? Yes, I planned it." Shangguan Shaoqin admitted unabashedly.
"Sure enough." Lu Hanjiang understood, and his last doubt was answered.
The official who was assassinated back then had a complicated identity and was supported by many forces, but he was not liked by Jin Yiwei alone. Shangguan Shaoqin chose this person to kill, obviously from the beginning, he planned to follow Jin Yiwei's path, which was regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
With a look of nostalgia in Shangguan Shaoqin's eyes, he slowly said: "Brother Wen values love and righteousness, and has a martial arts character. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he cannot be used by me, so he has to come up with this last resort."
After the acquittal that shocked the world, Wen Chenyang not only owed Shangguan Shaoqin a favor, but while he was in prison, the woman he admired also became the wife of Shangguan's family. With a two-pronged approach, he was not afraid that he would not come to serve. .
Although the person who framed him in the first place was Shangguan Shaoqin.
"Mr. Shangguan is very calculating." Lu Hanjiang praised. At this time, he had to sigh at the guarantee of the output of the academy disciples.
For example, Qi Yunzhou, Fang Huayu, Qiao Shifang and others are all outstanding figures in the world, as well as Shangguan Shaoqin today. These people have always had clear goals, and although they are in the world, they have never been swayed by the affection of their children. Troubled.
Although these academy disciples all studied with the Crown Princess, their reasons for seeking refuge in the East Palace, or rather the Crown Princess, had nothing to do with the love between their children. Some were for fame, some were for profit, some were for self-protection, and some were for self-protection. The other is to attract but not release the venomous snake that is ready to bite the master.
On the other hand, for those who have joined the East Palace in the world, from Dongfang Huang to Li Guishou, one word of love directly overwhelms them all. Although they are infatuated and unrepentant, they are also chivalrous and tender, but compared to these great talents in the academy, they are still a little less established.
Luo Yuanjing is worthy of being a generation of Confucian masters. Indeed, none of the disciples he taught are simple. All of these people have seen through the essence of poetry, books, etiquette and Yi, and have left all the theories of Confucianism behind. Each of them is doing things. A ruthless person who cuts straight to the soul.
Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but sigh: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Qiu and Mr. Wu. The idea is indeed good. If you continue to work in the East Palace, the potential value for Jin Yiwei will be greater."
"In that case, I would like to trouble you, Young Master Yue, to say hello to all of you." Shangguan Shaoqin stood up and bowed, then left immediately.
He had already heard the news when he came. Qianhu Ying Wushang had gone to his home at this moment. If Le Zhili and Shangguan Beicang accidentally bumped into each other, the consequences would be disastrous. What was touched was his "Fate".
