"Xu Tianze! I am sincerely talking to you here. If you still want to play tricks, please go back." Nan Xunjie's face showed a little anger when he heard Xu Tianze's words.
If it was true that Xu Tianze went to Shangjing City from the beginning for revenge, then he could have overturned the case for the Xu family.
Now, not to mention that the Jiang family is dead and the Xu family has been cleared of all charges, even the rumor among the upper class circles that Xu Tianze is not a descendant of the Xu family is a well-known secret.
How could Xu Tianze still be holding on to the Xu family's affairs? He is not the uncle and nephew of Liu Yuanzhang and the Dali Temple. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to think that Xu Tianze was really taking revenge because of the Xu family's affairs.
Furthermore, if Xu Tianze were to continue his revenge in this way, how many of the nobles in the capital could remain unscathed?
Even Emperor Gan would not allow Xu Tianze to continue his revenge in this way, otherwise the court would be in chaos and the Gan Kingdom would be unstable.
"Whether you believe it or not, I have never taken action against the Xu family. At most, I said a few sarcastic remarks in the court." Although Nan Xunjie was dissatisfied with Xu Tianze's attitude, he still explained to himself.
"Since the Marquis has said so, I naturally believe it." Xu Tianze nodded in agreement with an inexplicable smile on his face.
It is human nature to stay away from trouble. Although Xu Tianze felt that all the ministers in the court were ungrateful at that time, he now thinks that he was too naive at the beginning.
Most of the ministers in the court just stood by and watched. Although they did not provide timely assistance, they did not take advantage of the situation too much either.
Naturally, he had nothing to pursue, not to mention his current identity. The reason why he was still working for the Xu family on the surface was just to satisfy that person's requirements.
"My Lord, the prince has grown up, and some roads need to be prepared in advance." Xu Tianze said to Nan Xunjie with a smile, and continued to walk forward on his own.
He had lived in the Nan family for a period of time, so he was naturally familiar with the layout of the Nan family. He did not let Nan Xunjie lead the way.
"Oh~" Nan Xunjie shook his head with a wry smile and followed.
The princes were gradually gaining momentum in their fight for the throne. It was thought that the Nan family would surely take advantage of the situation by virtue of their status as the prince's in-laws, but unexpectedly, they would be the first to be abandoned.
At this moment, he seemed to understand the prince's behavior. If Emperor Gan had not been behind the scenes, the prince would never have given up the power of the Nan family.
"After all, the crown prince lives in the East Palace, and the other princes are also supported by many forces. Your Majesty made a wrong move with the first blow." At this moment, Nan Xunjie seemed like an outsider, analyzing the situation.
Xu Tianze saw that Nan Xunjie had a relieved temperament, and admiration flashed in his eyes. After all, he was an old minister who had been in power for many years.
Now that he was abandoned by Emperor Gan and the Crown Prince, he did not make a fuss. Instead, he acted like an outsider. Just for this reason, Xu Tianze admired him very much.
If he had been as calm as Marquis Nan when the Xu family was in trouble, he might not have suffered so much torture.
Fortunately, Ajiang is still with me now, so it’s a pretty good ending.
As for the rebellious tone in Nan Xunjie's words, he simply ignored them. What walls have ears, what other people are spies? He was almost dead, and he couldn't let people talk nonsense.
"I admire the Marquis's broad-mindedness, but how can you be sure that the man in the palace made a mistake in the first blow?" Xu Tianze walked into a pavilion not far away and sat down, just looking at the prince who followed him in.
The words he said gave Nan Xunjie a direct shock.
"What do you mean? Are you saying?" When Nan Xunjie heard Xu Tianze's words, anxiety flashed in his eyes. He sat directly opposite Xu Tianze, staring at him blankly.
"My Lord, instead of worrying about other fictitious things, you should think about the terms of the next transaction." Xu Tianze shook his head and began to change the subject.
Some things should be said briefly. If you reveal too much, you will only cause yourself trouble.
Although Nan Xunjie did not hear Xu Tianze's answer, his guess was almost right. He was a little anxious at first, but when he thought about his current situation, he calmed down.
Given his current condition, he is followed by the emperor's men whenever he goes out. How can he have any personal freedom?
The prince did not inform him in advance of his giving up, and even the queen did not spread any news in the harem. In this case, what does the prince's loss have to do with him, an old man who resigned and returned home?
"What do you want to know?" Nan Xunjie withdrew his thoughts, adjusted his attitude, and took a negotiating stance.
"The Xu family's affairs started well but ended badly. The Jiang family must have been the apparent victim. I want information about the person behind the scenes." Xu Tianze raised the corner of his mouth. Although Emperor Gan knew the power behind the scenes in his plan, the clues were not enough.
Since he wants to spend his last days with Ajiang in peace, he must serve Emperor Gan and let him see his true value.
The original plan of Emperor Gan, Xu Li and Song Zhenjiang was his best attempt to test the waters.
As for what would happen to Ajiang after his death, Xu Tianze was not very worried.
After all, he is dead. Even if someone says that Ajiang is a man with a strong personality and has a relationship with him, there will be no evidence to prove his mistake.
In order to maintain the reputation of the royal family, Emperor Gan will certainly suppress all the news, and even if it is exposed, all the problems will be put on his head.
By that time, Ajiang will already be in his fiefdom, and the emperor will be far away, so the threats he faces will naturally be infinitely reduced.
"I don't know anything about the person behind the scenes." Nan Xunjie's pupils shrank when he heard Xu Tianze's words, and then he quickly pretended to know nothing.
