"Father, do you mean that he will commit suicide?"
Xu Yuan frowned.
Xu Yinhe's voice was gentle. Because he had seen it before, he was sure:
"Yes."
Xu Yuan hesitated slightly and asked:
"But I have promised him that I will keep him safe for you."
It’s not that smart people are not afraid of death. With his promise, why should he go to death?
Xu Yinhe did not follow Xu Yuan's words, but suddenly asked:
"Thirty years ago, Lou Ji sowed a handful of spring seeds to the world for her father. Most of these seeds died, and Bai Zhao was one of the fruits. I agree with what you just said. Many people have reached this point. The upper limit is only because of the upper limit of the platform they are on, not their own upper limit. Then Bai Zhao may be this kind of person.
"But my father wants to ask you a question."
"You asked."
"Who is the father?"
"."
silence.
Xu Yuan was stunned by the lack of words and subconsciously glanced sideways at Xu Xinyao beside him.
Xu Xinyao shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand what her father meant.
For a long time,
He had a guess in his mind, but said with some uncertainty:
"Prime Minister Dayan?"
Xu Yinhe was very satisfied with Sanzi's understanding, nodded with a smile, and then asked:
"What kind of thing requires you to plead with your father in order to protect the seeds that your father casually scattered back then?"
"." Xu Yuan's pupils shrank.
He instantly understood what his father meant.
It no longer matters whether things are true or not.
Even if the problem he encountered was just a trivial matter, when he said this to Bai Zhao, because it involved Prime Minister Dayan's promise, it would be infinitely higher in Bai Zhao's heart.
And more importantly, this matter can no longer be explained, and the explanation will only make it darker and darker.
Xu Xinyao spoke out at this time:
"Father, the third brother has a bad reputation. Outsiders won't think that he can find anyone else."
Even the capable guards in the Prime Minister's Palace looked down on the third brother, let alone some powerful ministers. When something happened, the third brother could only turn to his father or his eldest brother.
"."
Xu Yinhe did not answer this question.
After a long time, Xu Changge spoke in a calm tone:
"Xinyao, Changtian's affairs are common knowledge among the people you know, but your world is only a small part of the whole world. Except for the important officials of the imperial court and the senior officials of the sect and their relatives, most people even have a few fathers. The kids don’t even know.”
"But what happened to Third Brother in the Imperial Capital."
"The Imperial Capital is big, and the world is even bigger. Not everyone can use the communication crystal, and not everyone dares to talk casually."
"." Xu Xinyao stopped talking.
The two brothers and sisters fell into silence.
a long time,
Xu Yuan slowly raised his eyes, the look in his eyes was a bit complicated:
"I asked Yuan Hao to pick him up."
Xu Yinhe answered this time:
"Yuan Hao will obey your orders. If he has not committed suicide before then, then Yuan Hao will not let Bai Zhao die, but he may be able to die later."
"Die later."
Xu Yuan frowned:
"Doesn't this prove that I have saved him?"
Xu Yinhe said word by word:
"His existence will always be a thorn in your heart, and if he is really smart, he will not know this.
"If the king suspects his ministers, he will punish them if he knows them. If he does not punish them, he will turn against them."
"." Xu Yuan frowned and said nothing.
Xu Yinhe spoke with sincerity and sincerity:
"But since you said it, I promise you as a father that you don't have to kill him, because if your vision is correct, he will not choose to live."
As he spoke, a rare hint of complexity appeared in the falcon-like eyes of the experienced prime minister:
"Changtian, maybe you think it's harmless now. Bai Zhao's cultivation is low and house arrest and surveillance can solve this problem. But when Changtian you truly understand our current situation and the enemies we face, you will know that there are many things that you are not allowed to do. If we don’t do it, many people will have to be killed.”
"."
Xu Changge looked at the expression of his father who showed no emotion or anger, and his narrow eyes slightly lowered.
In the years after Chang'an's death, he came into contact with some things in the past. His father killed many of his best friends when he was young.
After a pause,
Xu Yinhe's expression returned to calm, and he smiled softly:
"Okay, Changtian, now you still have time to think about it. If you want to take this road, remember what your father said now.
"Every move you make in the future will affect the lives and deaths of many people, and you will also face many, many dilemmas."
"I hope that when you return to the Imperial Capital, you can give your father a clear answer."
"."
Xu Yuan did not answer, and lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
Xu Yinhe smiled, his tone became gentle, and then asked:
"The little thing has been solved, what is the big thing you mentioned?"
event
Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Xinyao:
"Xinyao, please go out first."
After that, he pushed the slightly surprised and reluctant Fourth Sister toward the secret room.
"."Xu Xinyao.
Upon hearing this voice, the father and son in the carriage looked at each other.
Xu Changge raised his eyebrows and then smiled in relief.
Xinyao was too well protected and treated everything too purely. It seemed that this third brother had something important to say.
"Xu Changge, don't be stunned, you are the same."
"."Xu Changge.
But at this time, Xu Yinhe suddenly said:
"Changtian, what is so mysterious?"
These words dissuaded Xu Yuan from clearing the place.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan stopped pushing Xu Xinyao and said simply:
"I want to ask you something, father. This question will determine the answer to the question you asked me before. Whether I will choose the path you arranged for me."
Xu Yinhe was quiet for a moment and replied:
"It's okay, you can just ask."
"."
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, a little confused, but soon figured out his father's plan.
It seems that they trust Xu Changge and Xu Xinyao, but in fact they completely cut off the idea of Xu Changge and Xu Xinyao.
Although Xu Changge and Xu Xinyao may have never had this idea, Xu Yinhe had to do this.
The Prime Minister's Palace is too big and has too much power. If a successor is chosen, other people's ideas must be completely eradicated.
Because Xu Changge and Xu Xinyao both have die-hard supporters at the top of the Prime Minister's Office.
Behind Xu Xinyao is a group of doves. At the very least, Jiang He, the boss of the Gewuyuan, will definitely stand by her side. Xu Changge is a group of martial arts disciples who advocate expanding the army. Maybe they are unhappy with Xu Changge's temperament, but they will definitely appreciate his iron-bloodedness. wrist.
But can Xu Xinyao and Xu Changge really know about the matter he wants to ask now?
Xu Yuan was silent for a while and confirmed:
"Father, are you sure?"
Xu Yinhe: "Ask."
Xu Yuan patted Xu Xinyao's head to comfort him, turned his eyes, thought about it for a while, but still chose the direct approach:
"Father,
"How long can you live?"
