"What plans have you made for King Gongxi?"
Yun Chu looked at him and asked.
Xie Shi'an lowered his eyes: "When I was studying in the Imperial College, I accompanied Mr. Wang to visit Prince Gongxi. Prince Gongxi was ordered by the emperor to train in the Ministry of Personnel. Over the years, he made some measures, but they were quite satisfactory and he never received the emperor's attention. . Then I came up with an idea for King Gongxi to reform the imperial official system and improve the current situation of redundant staff... This will not only alleviate the clique among officials for personal gain, but also reduce the expenditure of the Ministry of Household Affairs..."
After hearing this, Yun Chu was shocked in his heart.
Xie Shi'an was not yet thirteen years old, but he could see the situation in the court so clearly and make such immediate suggestions.
Regardless of whether this reform will be truly implemented and realized, at least for now, it will be enough for King Gongxi to gain the emperor's approval and make King Gongxi stand out among many princes.
King Gongxi saw Xie Shian's strength.
In the future, Xie Shian will definitely be able to make a comeback with the help of King Gongxi.
Yunchu was glad that she kept the last card, which was Xie Shiwei...
"Mother, why did my father suddenly..." Xie Shi'an said with sadness in his eyes, "I didn't even see my father for the last time, and I couldn't send him off for the last time..."
Yun Chu shook his head: "Trouble happened one after another in the Xie family. Your father couldn't bear such a blow, so he drank to drown his sorrows every day... Blame me, I didn't persuade him... Brother An, don't think about this as soon as you get home. It’s over, go back and have a good rest, I’ll have someone bring you food later.”
Xie Shi'an was indeed tired. He cupped his hands, turned around and walked out of Shengju.
He dragged heavy steps and slowly walked back to his Qingsong Pavilion. Before, there were two women, two book boys, and four maids in his yard. Now, there is only one book boy left who grew up with him.
Seeing him entering the courtyard, the only book boy immediately came up to him: "Young Master, you are finally back. The younger one thought you..."
"Sanjiu." Xie Shi'an called the book boy's name, "You can guard Qingsong Pavilion for me, and we will be brothers from now on."
The book boy named Sanjiu was extremely moved: "Master, you have been suffering these days, I will wait for you to rest."
Xie Shi'an washed up, changed into clean clothes, and lay on his couch. Only then did he feel that he was really alive.
There was no light in that dungeon, and he had to be tortured and interrogated countless times every day. He didn't have a good piece of meat on his body, and he really thought he would die.
Unexpectedly, in this darkness, he ushered in a ray of light, it was King Gongxi.
He offered advice to King Gongxi, and King Gongxi spared his life. The preliminary deal was reached, but I don’t know how to truly become King Gongxi’s staff...
Xie Shi'an thought about it and slowly fell asleep.
He didn't know how he ended up in a valley. In the black air of death, he saw a face. It was the face of his biological mother, He Lingying.
His heart suddenly beat wildly.
It was he who forced his mother to death. After her death, he never saw her in his dream. Slowly, he forgot his sin.
Until now when he saw such a face, he found that he didn't dare to face it at all.
No matter how calm and collected he appeared, only he knew in his heart that he was afraid to recall the details of that night.
He turned and ran.
"Brother Ang..."
He heard a gentle call.
"Brother An, I am my mother..." the voice got closer and closer, "No matter what you did wrong, in my mother's heart, you will always be the best child."
Xie Shi'an then stopped, turned around, and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
He forced his mother to death but failed to gain his own future. He deserves to die!
"Brother An, you are not wrong. You are doing it for the family. Mother knows..." He Lingying's expression suddenly changed, "Mom came here tonight to tell you that the Xie family has reached this stage because of Yun Chu. , you called her mother for so many years, but she ruined your future with her own hands! You must never believe that woman, Brother An, remember what mother said, don’t believe Yun Chu...!"
Xie Shian woke up suddenly.
It turned out to be a dream, but the scene of the dream was so clear that every word of my mother still echoed in my ears.
It is said that what you think about every day is what you dream about at night. He could have this dream because deep down in his heart, he was actually doubting that the Xie family's current situation had something to do with his mother.
"Master, are you awake?"
The door to his bedroom was pushed open, and he saw Duoxi, the servant next to Yun Chu, standing at the door.
"Young Master, my wife asked the younger one to bring you some food, and also invited a doctor for you."
He turned sideways and let the doctor come in.
After Xie Shian lost his right eye in prison, he never had any treatment for the injury. The wound festered and developed abscesses. He had a fever that almost killed him for half his life. It took him many days of suffering to finally recover. The eye was also disabled...
He thought he no longer knew pain.
But when the doctor cleaned his eyes, he couldn't help but tighten his fingers and bite his arm.
After the doctor left, Daxi lowered her head and said: "Madam said that as long as people are still here, there will be a day when they can get up. Please don't let the young master get discouraged. This is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that the madam prepared for the young master."
Xie Shian pursed his lips and said, "Please say thank you to my mother for me."
His mother arranged for someone to enlighten him, but he doubted his mother deep down.
"Brother Ang."
After Yuanshi finished his work, he came over immediately.
Seeing that Xie Shi'an had lost one eye, her eyes turned red and she couldn't help but cover her lips and cry softly.
"Grandma, I'm fine." Xie Shi'an said, "I would like to ask, what was my mother busy with while I was in jail?"
Yuan wiped her tears and sighed: "What are you busy with? It's not your father's funeral. When your father passed away, the Xie family was surrounded and it was difficult to even go out and buy a coffin. It was your mother who left the house late at night. Please beg grandpa to sue grandma so that those officers and soldiers can be withdrawn and your father can be buried... Hey, how much virtue did our Xie family have to accumulate to marry such a good wife as Chu'er? Without Chu'er, the Xie family would have been dead long ago fall down……"
Xie Shian pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Everyone in the Yun family has mobilized to make peace with the Xie family. Your mother said that since she married into the Xie family, she will be a member of the Xie family for the rest of her life and will never leave the Xie family." Yuan said earnestly, " Your mother has no children, and she will never have children of her own in the future. You must be filial to her and let her know that all the sincerity she has given will be rewarded."
Xie Shian really didn't know about this.
If the Xie family has become what it is now because of the mother, then why has the mother not left the Xie family since her goal has been achieved?
It can only show that the Xie family's development today has nothing to do with their mother.
His mother cared deeply about him, but he doubted his mother. He was really a white-eyed wolf.
He looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and said softly: "Grandma, I won't study anymore. I want to do business."
His identity meant that he would not be able to pursue an official career.
No matter which path you take in the future, you will need money. The most urgent thing now is to make money.
