Chapter 604: The Xing Family Surrenders



"No matter what, big brother, the Imperial Concubine, and the Seventh Prince are all living lives. You can kill them if you want. Even if you want to pave the way for Prince Rong, you don't have to be so cruel. Aren't you afraid that the throne will be unstable in the future due to too much killing?"

He cursed loudly, venting all his anger.

Although Aunt Xing did not like the eldest brother of her husband's family, she still felt sad when she heard that he was killed by her own nephew.

But she is no longer in a position to persuade either party. The only thing she can do is to keep them away from each other and try her best to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

"Uncle, you know exactly how Prime Minister Guo was expelled to Jinling City. You also know exactly how the emperor has been wary of me and the Tiger Guards over the years. You should know exactly how much Prime Minister Xing was involved in this. Yes, I killed them, but I don't regret it. The Seventh Prince will never be a wise ruler, but the Xing family intends to help him take the throne because of their blood relationship. Tell me, is there still hope for Daxing after the Seventh Prince takes the throne?"

Every word he said hit upon Minister Xing's weak spot.

It is precisely because the Seventh Prince is incompetent that Minister Xing has never expressed his opinion. Even though the whole family has moved to Sui'an City for quite some time, there is very little contact with the eldest brother.

Having served in the court for many years, he is not innocent either.

He had also schemed against hostile officials. Although the official career was not as scary as the imperial career, he was by no means a rookie who had made it this far.

"The Guo family just sent us news not long ago that Grandfather Guo and Grandmother Guo have both passed away. Everyone knows how much contribution the old man made to Daxing, but now, has His Majesty the Emperor responded? How many officials in the court know about this? To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Grandfather Guo's soft-heartedness and wanting to leave some talents for the new dynasty, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Humph, the Dingping Marquis's Mansion wants to confront the Guo family? This must have been the work of Prime Minister Xing, how can he not be innocent?"

The series of words left Minister Xing with no room to retort.

"Prime Minister Guo is gone?"

It was not until now that he learned that the Prime Minister, who had worked so hard for Daxing all his life, had passed away without a word. It really made people sigh at the cruelty of the world.

Falling on the stool, Minister Xing felt a little lost, and spoke only after a long while.

"My eldest brother is dead, and the Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Prince are also gone. The motivation that the Xing family has been striving for for many years is also gone. Moreover, we have always been incompatible with the Yan family for so many years. It is a joke to expect them to let the Xing family go. So now you can come to inform us in advance, and I am grateful for your kindness. I don't ask that the entire Xing family can return to Jinling City safely, but your aunt and other women in the harem are innocent. I hope you can ask for mercy after Prince Rong takes the throne and don't implicate them."

Marquis Dingping, who supported the Fourth Prince, was still able to move around in the court because of Prime Minister Guo. But now if Prince Rong comes to power, given the temperament of the Yan family, the Xing family will not have a good time.

Rather than waiting to be cut down again and again, it is better to let go completely. It would be best to preserve the entire clan. If it is really impossible to preserve them, then only he and Xing Zhao will be able to step forward to prevent the disaster.

Fortunately, he saw the birth of his grandson before he closed his eyes.

Therefore, even if he was going to die heroically this time, he would have no regrets.

Aunt Xing, who had been married to him for many years, understood what he was thinking at a glance, and said, holding his hand with tears in her eyes.

"Master, we won't leave..."

Her words sounded more like comfort to Minister Xing. He smiled with relief, then patted the back of his wife's hand and spoke as if he was entrusting him with an important task.

"The child is still young. If we can't go back, you and your daughter-in-law must raise him to adulthood. We don't ask him to become successful, but just want him to live a stable life and be a useful person."

"master……"

Aunt Xing naturally didn't want anything to happen to her family, but she also knew what would happen to the Xing family after Prince Rong came to power.

My husband and son may not be saved...

Therefore, I am the only one who can support this family, so even if my heart aches, I have to make all preparations at this moment. For example, sending my daughter-in-law and grandson out of the city first is the most important thing! "Shao Yu, can you send Meng Niang and the child away first?"

Aunt Xing knew that only her nephew could handle this matter safely, so even if it was difficult to ask, she had to do it!

At this point, Gu Shaoyu understood what his uncle and aunt were thinking, so he shook his head.

The couple thought that the Earl's Mansion was going to kill them all, and their eyes gradually became sharper. If they insisted on killing even the children, then the Xing family would not be a pushover.

Therefore, their expressions became firm from sadness, but before they could say anything earth-shattering, Gu Shaoyu spoke.

"Don't worry, uncle and aunt. I came here today to tell my cousin Zhao a thing or two. He said that he knew that the Seventh Prince would not be able to do anything, but the Xing and Yan families were incompatible. He simply joined the Crown Prince, so that the Xing family would have a foothold in the future and would not be wiped out."

After saying this, the couple in front of him were both stunned.

It took me a while to react.

"You...you two didn't vote for Prince Rong, but the Crown Prince? Which Crown Prince?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Minister Xing thought about it quickly in his mind, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate. The princes among the clan members were either mediocre or had lost their power long ago. No matter which one, they were not suitable, unless...

Unless someone deliberately hides his strength!

He looked at Gu Shaoyu, and the answer soon appeared before him.

"This is a record of the movements of Yinzhou in the past five years. Uncle, please take a look first. After reading it, you will know who should be the common ruler of the world."

Yinzhou?

The prince Xie Daoyun?! He certainly knew this person, but he kept it to himself. With that kind of personality and that kind of favor, no one would pay attention to him.

I didn't expect it to be him! Minister Xing was still in shock and bewilderment, flipping through the booklet one after another, while Aunt Xing beside him was like a blessing from heaven. As long as it wasn't the Earl's Mansion or Prince Rong, she had no objection to whoever took the throne. After all, in this way, the Xing family would have a way out.

He took a deep breath and looked at Gu Shaoyu with a hint of anger.

"If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have even thought of how I was going to die!"

"Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the lives of my family members? Auntie is really looking down on me and my cousin Zhao."

That’s true!
