"That's just one of their reasons, there's another one."
Wu Qingruo waved his hand towards Ah Fei, who was standing not far away. Ah Fei nodded slightly and went to the main room in the east wing. After a while, he took a small wooden box from it. At Wu Qingruo's signal, he put the small wooden box in In front of Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian.
"What's this?"
"Open it and take a look!" Wu Qingruo raised his chin, "This is the letter handed to us by the people they sent. Originally they wanted to hand it to us in person, but we didn't see them, so they asked the guards at the door to hand it over. .”
"How should I say this? To put it politely, I mean they are a little whimsical." After finishing the second bowl of mung bean soup, Prince Dai gently placed the empty bowl on the table and stretched out a big sigh. Waist, "If I put it bluntly, then they are a bit self-righteous."
"Well, I think so too!" His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "I heard that the people they sent were quite arrogant when they asked to see His Majesty. I don't know if they deliberately instigated their subordinates to do this, or if this was the case. That’s their style.”
"It should be intentional, to test His Majesty's character." Wu Qingruo looked at the Prince Dai, "We should have seen them when we were young. At that time, they dressed up as ordinary scholars, and their speech and behavior were all gentle and elegant. Even though our identity was exposed later, and we even had a dispute over whether Chenchen was involved, they were very gentlemen and did not make things difficult for us."
"Yes!" Seeing the three children and His Highness Prince Ning staring, Prince Dai chuckled, "Why is it such an expression? We have seen them before, what is there to be surprised about? In their situation, it should be They can live for a long, long time. Not only us and you can see them, but your next generation and the next generation can also see them." He shrugged helplessly, "If they are willing to live, this can be done. When it arrives, there’s nothing to be surprised about.”
"Master and Brother Jing Wang are fighting?" Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian looked at each other. They didn't bother to read the letter in the small box. They all stared at Wu Qingruo. "What was the situation at that time?"
"Situation?" Wu Qingruo thought for a while, "There is no special situation. The late emperor was hesitant about agreeing to their proposal, so he invited the two of us to the palace to discuss it. Coincidentally, the King Jing brothers also came to the palace to invite See, then we naturally have to have a good debate on this proposal. It is said that the reason is unclear. If it is really unclear, then let’s see whose fist is harder."
"Although I don't know what the condition of King Jing's brothers is, in terms of fists, Uncle Huang's fists are harder, right?" Shen Cha asked with a smile, "I heard that they two are weak scholars, and King Jing's fists are stronger." My health is not particularly good, so I haven’t practiced martial arts since I was a child, right?”
"Yes, King Jing has never practiced martial arts, but his brother is indeed capable of fighting." Wu Qingruo nodded towards Shen Cha, "But compared with ordinary people, his kung fu is pretty good. Compared with us, Compared with those who fight all year round, it is like heaven and earth."
"If I remember correctly, the moment the fight started, King Jing seemed a little unconvinced that we really dared to take action, right?" Prince Dai looked at Wu Qingruo, "In their perception, they are Elders are the ones we respect. If we do something to our elders, it would be unfilial. As a royal family, it is impossible for us to do such deviant things."
"But they never thought that they were already deceased in the royal genealogy and needed us to pay our respects when we worshiped their ancestors. If we hadn't been kind and recognized their identities, How can they have the confidence to act like their elders with us?"
"That's right." Xue Ruitian nodded, "This is the self-righteousness that the prince said just now. They think they can prove their identity, but they probably don't think about it. What should they do if we don't admit it? Maybe they have thought about it, But it’s possible that it won’t work.”
"I probably didn't think about it." Wu Qingruo raised an eyebrow, "Otherwise, when King Jing's younger brother, the Second Young Master of Chu, and I got involved, King Jing's reaction wouldn't have been like that. Of course, considering that they are elders, For my own sake, I showed mercy and managed to create a tie situation, but I don’t know if they took it seriously.”
"Understood!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Master's martial arts competition has made them even more self-righteous. They feel that they are above us in terms of seniority, experience, and kung fu. We need to respect and respect them." So, when the late emperor agreed to their proposal, cooperated with them, and set up this situation, they did not think that the late emperor was thinking about Uncle Ning, but that they had suppressed our side in all aspects, and the late emperor was forced by the pressure. , you have to agree, right?”
"Absolutely." Wu Qingruo raised her chin slightly, "Let's read the letter!"
Shen Cha opened the small box and took out a letter from it. After unfolding it, he, Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian read it together.
The content of the letter was very simple. It almost persuaded Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo to inherit the late emperor's last wish, continue to cooperate with them, continue to capture the future, and plan for great things.
The tone of this letter seems very gentle, but upon closer inspection, it is filled with an oppressive aura intentionally or unintentionally.
Basic greetings were almost non-existent. At the very beginning, they were briefly mentioned as "I haven't seen each other for several years and I miss you very much." And the following contents are basically to persuade Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo to cooperate with them, using soft and hard tactics, coercion and inducement. Anyway, they have exhausted the words they can write, and even vaguely threaten them. If this letter falls into stone, they may personally From Xijing.
"Come in person?" Xue Ruitian sneered, "Do they dare? Aren't they afraid of falling into a trap?"
"As long as they dare to come, we dare to detain them so that they can never come back." Shen Haolin knocked on the table lightly, "I believe His Majesty thinks so too."
"What else can you see besides these?"
"And..." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha. The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "This just confirms that our previous guess was correct."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Uncle Huang and Uncle Wang, we have suspected before that they are so aggressive that they would not hesitate to drag down the Great Xia royal family, and even several generations of the royal family. It is not just the so-called righteousness, but also personal grudges. But righteousness We are not sure whether personal grievances are more serious than personal grievances, but judging from this letter, personal grievances seem to be a little bit more serious."
