Even if he really wants to punish the Ouyang family, he can only do it. Anyway, if the current situation continues, the Ouyang family will be buried with Da Qi in a few years. Other officials may be able to escape when there is a change of dynasty. But these noble families who had retired from the country could only be buried with the Great Qi Dynasty. Since it's the same thing sooner or later, it's better to take a gamble.
Also feel the character of this British king, whether he is the kind of magnanimous monarch, and whether he is worthy of the Ouyang family's continued assistance. If the King of England can't even listen to these words, it would be better for the Ouyang family to resign from all official positions and go into seclusion early. Originally worried about irritating the King of England, Ouyang Shan did not intend to tell the King of England these words of Lord Ouyang. Even if you say it, it should be tactful.
But when his father was about to leave, he made him swear that he would convey all his words to the King of England intact. If he changed a word, it would be unfilial. Ouyang Shan, who has always been a filial son and has never disobeyed his father since childhood, had no choice but to bet on the future of his family and told the King of England exactly what the old man said, without any omissions.
Although he thought his father was a little confused when he forced him to swear. But as a son of a man, facing his father's last request in his life, he had to agree even if he had to bite the bullet. And after saying these words, his heart was still hanging. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, which can be said to be the truest portrayal of his mood at this moment. Even though this King of England is not a king at this time, he is just a prince.
But no matter what, he is the emperor's biological son, and now he is the crown prince of the country. You criticized his father so unceremoniously in front of him. In an era where sons do not reveal their father's faults, can the King of England really not fall out of favor? Your old man has already reached that point, why do you still worry about those things? When you are in good health, it will not be your turn to participate in government affairs.
We have already reached that stage, why do you still worry about the future of your whole family? You have lived for more than half your life, why can't you see through this principle of accompanying a king like a tiger? Do we have to expose the shortcomings of our always conceited emperor in front of his son? You exposed it so completely, do you really think our Earl's Mansion is valuable? Does the emperor really dare not move?
After listening to Ouyang Shan's words, especially his almost to-the-point evaluation of the government, Huang Qiong did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he let out a long sigh, helped Ouyang Shan up and said: "The old Sir is really sharp-eyed, and he can see things to the core. It's a pity that it is too late for me and the old Sir to meet. If there is a chance, It would be nice to listen more to the old Sir’s teachings.”
"Old Sir, you are sacrificing your own life to remind me of this. Sir, you have really worked hard, and I accept this effort. With the passing of Old Sir, not only is the country losing its talents, but also The imperial court has lost a pillar, and I have also lost a good teacher. If I are given five years, not even three years, to listen to the old master's teachings, I will definitely benefit a lot."
"Don't worry, Major General. I have listened to the old lord's words and have kept them in my heart. But don't worry, major general. I will definitely live up to the old lord's last words of advice. As for Don't worry about the rest, Major General. As long as I am here, the Ouyang family will always be with the country. The old master used his life to wake me up, and I will never let down the Ouyang family. "
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Ouyang Shan's heart, which had been so high, completely dropped. It is true that he is still old and hot. Although my father has not met the King of England much, there are more rumors. But his father really saw the right person, and the King of England was still worthy of trust. As for the sentence of using life to remind the King of England, Ouyang Shan didn't know what to say for a moment.
The real cause of my father's death was not an illness, but chronic medication that drained him of his efforts. He had never known this before. It wasn't until his death that his father told himself why he died. But he has remained silent on who the murderer is. But his father obviously knew who the murderer was. He didn't tell himself that it was not only to protect the British king, but also to protect the Ouyang family.
The person who attacked his father was probably far more powerful than the Ouyang family could contend with. Even if the imperial court and the King of England really compete, they may not really gain the upper hand. Even before his death, his father did not tell himself who that person was, just to protect himself and the entire family. My father must have done this because he was not a general taboo against that person and the power in his hands.
Looking at Ouyang Shan, who looked a little downcast, he guessed what he was thinking. Huang Qiong just patted him on the shoulder and said: "I understand the good intentions of the old master, and I hope the young general will also understand. The real cause of the old master's death, except for me, knows it." In addition, don’t reveal a word to the rest of the people. Even your closest relatives, don’t reveal anything.”
"As for other things, don't think too much. The temporary retreat is not because we are cowardly and don't even dare to avenge our father's murder. It's that for some things, we have to wait for the right time. As long as the time comes, what he did will We must make them spit out these sins with profit. Think about it, can Old Sir Ouyang be so taboo about someone that even I, the King, can’t talk about him, would he be a simple person?"
"At least for now, not only you have to endure it, but I also have to endure it, otherwise it will be a waste of the old master's good intentions, and he might even end up with the Ouyang family. I also know that the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. But if the young general believes in me, then he will be patient for a while. When the time comes, no matter who the person who poisoned the old lord is, I will not let him go even if he is pursued to the ends of the earth."
Having said this, Huang Qiong said nothing more. He just patted Ouyang Shan on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned and left. After returning to his home, it was already dark. Huang Qiong had no intention of having dinner. She just sat in the study and looked at the candlelight on the desk in trance. He did not expect that Lord Ouyang did not die of illness, but was poisoned.
As for the murderer, why he poisoned this old lord who only trained hard in the army and never participated in government affairs, I am afraid the reason behind this is intriguing. There are only three reasons. One is that Sir Ouyang violated his interests, so he killed him. Second, I'm afraid it was the old Sir Ouyang who blocked his way, so he risked the disapproval of the world and tried every means to poison the old Sir.
Thirdly, Lord Ouyang was alive, or still in the position of leading troops, which posed a great threat to him, so he took action to eliminate this threat. Judging from the last words of Sir Ouyang, the first and second reasons are not very valid. Sir Ouyang is a noble, and according to the custom of this dynasty, nobles are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs. The old Sir Alex had a high position but little power before.
However, a Sima Infantry Commander in front of the Xijing Palace, although his title is not empty, according to the military system of this dynasty, his real power is still limited, and the possibility of enmity with others is unlikely. Because he was rectifying the Xijing camp, he might have had grudges with some official families, but it was unlikely that those people would do such a cruel thing. They are all smart people, and they all know that as long as it does not involve matters of life and death, they must keep a tightrope when doing things.
Besides, those aristocratic families have plenty of means. Even if one or two of the disciples were kicked out of the Xijing camp, it would be easy for them to find a good job for them in the army, and there was no need to resort to such cruelty. As for blocking other people's way, the possibility of killing someone is even less likely. The commanders of the two capital palaces, as well as the commanders of the cavalry and infantry armies, have always been appointed by distinguished officials.
It is almost impossible for an ordinary military attaché to achieve this level of command. As for these noble families in this dynasty, they all suffer losses and prosper, and they are in a relationship of advancing and retreating together. What's more, these noble families have been peaceful for more than a hundred years since the founding of the country, and now they have multiplied into big families. Almost everyone puts the interests of their entire family more seriously than the interests of the court and the world.
Even if there are ambitious ones among them, unless someone dares to openly rebel, no one would dare to bet the fate of the entire family and do something that is almost equivalent to rebellion. Since these two possibilities are high, there is only the third reason for the old Sir Alex's murder. In his position as the chief minister of the palace, even while he is alive, he is a threat to the ambitions of some people.
Although the imperial court will not have its own special forces as a rule, the elites in the imperial court will be trained and managed by the Xijing Camp and the Jingzhao Camp on a daily basis. During the war, the imperial court selected other generals to lead the army on expeditions. But even if some people don't lead troops to fight, just sitting there will make their opponents feel threatened. The old Lord Ouyang has a very high reputation in Xijing Camp, and he is exactly the kind of person who is easy to avoid.
Even if he is no longer leading the troops, as long as he is here and as long as he is still loyal to the court, no one will ever be able to instigate the Xijing camp. As long as the Xijing camp is loyal to the imperial court, there will never be real chaos in the northwest. What's more, who can guarantee that when necessary, the imperial court will not break the convention and let the old Lord Ouyang, who is good at military training, directly lead the Xijing camp?
What is called a threat? This is what is really called a threat. This kind of person with a high reputation in the military is a far greater threat to the so-called careerists than those flashy guys. If some ambitious people really want to plunge the Xijing camp into chaos, or want to cause something to happen in the northwest. Sir Ouyang, the blocking stone, must completely disappear.
The old lord's prestige is not enough even for him to become an official. For them, disappearing forever is the only way to eliminate this threat. Who is the most reassuring person? I am afraid that except for the dead, no one in this world would dare to say such a thing. This should be the real reason why that person was so vicious to the old Sir Alex. And who is that person? Is the person behind Zhuo Ruxiao the same?
Huang Qiong, who had been pondering for a long time but couldn't figure out anything, couldn't help but feel a little irritable. I opened the legacy of Lord Ouyang and read it carefully. Huang Qiong became more and more shocked by the things on the folded book. Regarding the current situation in the DPRK, there should be many discerning people among the hundreds of civil and military officials throughout the DPRK. Those ministers who are like old foxes really can't see it?
At least in Huang Qiong's opinion, it may not be true. The old gentleman was the only one who saw it and said it. In this posthumous letter, the old Sir Alex even publicly commented that the old man had been too rule-abiding in recent years and was a bit stubborn. It also pointed out that the court is now facing difficulties. Of course, the old Duke came from a family that died as a military attache, and his focus was still on military affairs.
Regarding government affairs, I just mentioned that annual income is actually the top priority of the court. But when it comes to military affairs, the old lord is not polite at all. The first sentence of the article is "Wentianwuxi". It not only pointed out that military attachés are now facing a shortage of jobs, and there will be very few available. The pursuit of pleasure and extravagance among military attaches everywhere became common, and the corruption among military attaches in the Guard system was the most serious.
