Chapter 1058: Diverting Attention

Rongchuan was indeed uncomfortable in the palace. It was good to have a job now, but this job was not related to the Hanlin Academy. "I obey your order."

At Zhou's house that night, Rong Chuan accompanied his wife back for dinner, and then whispered what happened in the palace today, "Dad, I don't think I will be assigned an official position next year."

He now feels that he is just like what his father said, he is a brick and he will move wherever he is needed. Moreover, his identity is indeed not suitable and he feels very lost. He still wants to be a pillar like his father.

Zhou Shuren had no way to appease Rongchuan's emotions. If he did, he would be confessing. "You're overthinking it. The emperor values ​​you and will definitely arrange a good job for you."

Rong Chuan smiled without explaining, "Dad, I've been following Prince Liang recently, you don't have to worry, I can take care of myself."

"You were taught by Dad, so don't worry."

Rong Chuan smiled, "Dad, I'll go back first."

"Okay, be more careful recently."

Zhou Shuren waited for Rongchuan and his daughter to leave. The couple didn't say a word. Today's news was a bit shocking. It hasn't spread yet, but it can't be kept secret for long.

When they were about to rest at night, the couple talked quietly. Zhulan was really shocked, "I think someone did escape."

Zhou Shuren also thought so. "I think it must be the work of Yao Wenqi. The Yao family is now experiencing the same situation as the Rong family. Yao Wenqi is now completely trapped. He dare not move. In order to seek some opportunities, he can only take out this killing hand."

Zhu Lan agreed. "If it was really Yao Wenqi who gave the news, it also proves that the Yao family was not insignificantly involved in the extinction of the Rong family. It is said that the Rong family was exterminated, and the Zhang family was the major cause. Now it seems that the rumor is not necessarily true."

Zhou Shuren curled his lips. "Yao Wenqi has a chance to catch his breath now, but the emperor will be even more ruthless in the future."

Zhu Lan said quietly, "It's better if you find it, but if you don't, haha? By the way, do you think someone could be impersonating you?"

Zhou Shuren pondered, "No one pretended before? Because the Rong family was a taboo, and Yao Wenqi was hiding and didn't dare to mention the Rong family. He knew that pretending would lead to too many problems? Now he doesn't dare to do it on purpose? Once it is found to be fake? The emperor's anger is enough to burn everything. Yao Wenqi doesn't dare to gamble? He doesn't have much capital to continue gambling now."

Zhulan is very energetic today. "Why do I feel that the Yao family may have had a rebellious heart for a long time? If the emperor didn't rebel, the Yao family would have done it too!"

Zhou Shuren's mind raced back, "Back then, the Rong family and the Zhang family were married? Did it stabilize the government? If the Yao family really had rebellious intentions early on? This is not what they want to see."

Zhu Lan's heart skipped a beat, then she sneered, "Years of caution have been ingrained in their bones, so the Yao family was swallowed up step by step by the emperor."

Zhou Shuren was helpless, "Have you forgotten about the two of us? Don't forget, we have changed a lot along the way, and we have ruined the good things of the dark forces and cut off their money. That's why they were purged by the emperor time and time again. If it weren't for the two of us fanning the wings, the court would definitely be in chaos."

In these years, many people have been cleared out one after another, and the dark forces have made full preparations for both scenarios. They have cultivated officials in the court and secretly raised military forces. If they were not there, once something happened to the emperor, chaos would be inevitable, and the final pacification would also result in rivers of blood.

Zhulan thought of the experts who had surrounded and suppressed the capital a few days ago. When the capital was not prepared, they must have caught it off guard. "So our wings are really too strong."

Zhou Shuren was also very happy, "Although we had no intention of rebellion, we indirectly protected the people and stabilized the government. This saved so many people, not to mention the economic development in the past few years, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. This is all merit."

He never forgot his good deeds, so he was always opposed to the proposal to increase taxes on the people. There were too many natural disasters in ancient times, especially in some places in the north where there was a serious water shortage. If the project was not too big and the treasury had no money, which would have caused great losses to the people, he really wanted to carry out the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Unfortunately, he could only think about it.

Zhulan leaned on Zhou Shuren's shoulder and said, "If we can really go back to modern times, we will be the best neighbors."

Zhou Shuren, ".......I would rather get a certificate."

Whoever becomes your neighbor, what he wants more is to enter your house!

Zhulan yawned, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

"No, don't sleep, let's talk."

Unfortunately, Zhulan pretended to be stupid and continued to pretend to be asleep. After a while, she fell asleep. Zhou Shuren didn’t know whether he could go back home while holding his wife in his arms, but it’s always good to have hope.

The next day, at the Chen family manor in the capital, King Qi left the city before dawn and went straight to the manor. He saw his grandfather by the lake, wearing a straw raincoat and fishing in the rain. He looked like an old man fishing, not the patriarch of the Chen family.

When Mr. Chen saw the fish was caught, he quickly pulled it up and said, "This fish is big. I'll send it to the kitchen for a fish hotpot for lunch."

When releasing the fish, he looked at the boots and raised his head, "Why are you here?"

King Qi had never heard Grandpa laugh so happily before. "I think Grandpa looks good."

"Don't worry, just sleep until you wake up naturally, eat whatever you want, and walk around nearby when you have nothing to do, and your complexion will naturally improve. You haven't told me why you came to the manor yet?"

Prince Qi had already sat on the chair that had been brought over. He took the umbrella and motioned for the guards to leave. "I heard some news about the Rong family, so I wanted to ask Grandpa."

Mr. Chen put the fishing rod into the lake, "I know you can't let it go."

Prince Qi interrupted my grandfather and said, "I know I want to know the news about the Rong family."

Elder Chen, "I said last time that I don't know much. All traces of the Rong family have been wiped out. The only thing I know is that there must have been many families involved at the time. A toothless tiger still has wealth that can rival a country. Regardless of whether it is a rumor or not, the tragedy of the Rong family is inevitable."

King Qi also knew, "Grandpa, do you think the Yao family was also involved? And they participated a lot?"

Mr. Chen wiped the rain off his beard and asked, "What did you find?"

The King of Qi broke off a piece of fresh grass and said, "I have indeed discovered something. You have allowed me to step out and look at the political situation. I was trapped in it before, but now I can see a lot of things clearly."

Everyone thought that he had lost his greatest support and that was why he stayed in Rongyuan. However, they did not know that he had been recalling the past, and had discovered too many things and seen too many things clearly.

Elder Chen didn't want King Qi to get involved. As long as King Qi lived well and was obedient to the Crown Prince, the Chen family would also be protected by King Qi. He stared at the fishing rod, "You."

Prince Qi lowered his voice, "Grandpa, you want me to live well, but have you ever thought about whether the Yao family really has evil intentions or has been plotting for many years, can I really be safe? I am still a prince even though I bow down to the crown prince. If something happens to the crown prince, I will be the next one."

It was only when he understood clearly that he saw more clearly the danger he was in.
