Recently, he has been paying close attention to the activities of the Fourth Prince and Xiao Shan.
It's just that they seem to be secretly staring at Prince Huai's Mansion. Both sides are testing each other, but no one has taken that step in advance.
Qin Rushuang thought for a while and said: "It seems that the pressure from the prince is not strong enough. In this case, the prince might as well go to remind the father of the poisoning from time to time to see how the investigation goes, and also give a little reminder to the fourth prince.
"
Ever since, Xie Xun took the task to beat the fourth prince.
He didn't intimidate him much, he just urged the progress of the case and said a few specious words, which scared Xie Yang to death.
It turned out that on the day of the incident, Xie Yang wanted to firmly grasp the initiative of the case in his own hands, so he offered to handle the case afterwards. Emperor Qi thought about it and agreed.
In the past few days, Xie Yang was very troubled by this case.
For no other reason than this, this case is somewhat troublesome.
If the person who hid the poison was already in Xie Yang's hands, he wouldn't have to worry about it like this. He could just find a palace maid and eunuch as his top adviser and get the poisoner out.
But now the person who poisoned was nowhere to be found, so he could only delay the case desperately, not daring to close the case.
Because he was afraid that once the case was closed, he would not be able to come to an agreement with the person behind the scenes, and if he took this person out and brought him to Emperor Qi, then he would be guilty of not only murdering the emperor with poison, but also secretly concealing the false case, etc.
Emperor Qi was also very concerned about this case and would ask questions from time to time. Now coupled with Xie Xun's beating, he could no longer stand it and sent someone to invite Xiao Shan.
Seeing Xie Yang's languid expression, Xiao Shan was so anxious that a string of firecrackers appeared on his lips, and he was naturally extremely disappointed.
This grandson is still too restless.
"What should I do, grandpa? Prince Huai's Mansion didn't send anyone to negotiate with me. Is that person in their hands?"
Xiao Shan thought for a while and asked, "Didn't Prince Huai contact you?"
"Yes, yes, but he came to ask me about the progress of the case and said a few specious words..."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xie Xun said to him the day before yesterday was very strange. He already believed 70% to 80% of it, so he said to Xiao Shan, "Grandpa, I think this matter was done by Prince Huai's Mansion! It must have been done by him.
They took the guy who was hiding the drugs!"
Xiao Shan gave him a stern look and said, "Why are you panicking? If he had intended to expose this matter, he would not have waited these days and would have brought this person to His Majesty that day! Now he is delaying it like this
He must have something in mind for you. This is a two-way choice. He has a handle in his hand, and you must have something he wants in your hand."
"You are so frizzy that you just fell into his trap for no reason! Calm down! Don't think too much, I will go find out for you tomorrow."
As Xiao Shan said this, what he was thinking was that what he wanted to return to the palace this time must be very important. Otherwise, how could such a good handle to bring down Xie Yang not be brought out for so long?
It was true that he had suspected that the person was not in Prince Huai's Mansion at all, but when he thought about Xie Yangyang saying that Xie Xun came to beat him again yesterday, he was still uncertain.
Isn’t it just beating and intimidation? They can do it, but can’t they themselves?
So, after going to court the next day, Xiao Shan found an excuse and went to see Emperor Qi.
After chatting with Emperor Qi for a few words about political affairs, both large and small, and discussing two other matters, Xiao Shan brought the topic to Prince Huai's Mansion.
"Speaking of which, Prince Huai and his wife are really filial. I heard that the little emperor's grandson is not yet one year old. In order to celebrate your majesty, the princess has abruptly moved the little emperor's grandson's first-year banquet forward a lot. It will be on the eighth day of next month, right?"
Mentioning the children, Emperor Qi also had some smiles in his eyes.
He nodded and said, "Although these two children are not the type to show off in front of me, this matter is indeed a sign of their filial piety."
Xiao Shan paused and then said, "Speaking of which, I also heard that the name of the little emperor's grandson was given by Taoist Yiqing?"
Emperor Qi smiled and nodded: "Yes, my name is Yunlin. It sounds good to me. What do you think, Aiqing?"
Xiao Shan followed his words and said with a smile: "It's true, this word "lin" has the demeanor of a general. Don't worry, Your Majesty, Taoist Yiqing is very skilled in Taoism. Wasn't he also the one who named King Huai at the beginning?"
"At that time, the imperial concubine had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, and Taoist Yiqing had already designated the fetus in her belly as his disciple. It was really a great opportunity."
"Now it seems that what Taoist Yiqing said is true. Among the princes in the court, it is King Huai who is the most responsible! With heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, numerous achievements in his hands, and military power in his hands, he is quite the demeanor of His Majesty back then.
ah!"
Xiao Shan's words seemed to be praising Xie Xun, but in fact they brought the topic to the fact that Xie Xun was favored by Taoist Yiqing when he was still in the womb.
This matter has always been a thorn in Emperor Qi's heart.
When the imperial concubine was pregnant with Xie Xun, Emperor Qi was in his prime. When Taoist Yiqing heard about Taoist immortality, he did not come to curry favor with him as the emperor, but instead took a fancy to the unborn child in his belly. How could he not be wary?
Over the years, he has not liked Xie Xun very much, and this is actually the reason why.
Since his childhood, Xie Xun had planted a shadow of fear in his heart. No one would want his descendants to replace him prematurely, and the same was true for Emperor Qi.
Especially in recent years, Xie Xun has made more and more achievements. After his health failed, there was a faint voice in the court that he would be crown prince.
The only candidates are the fourth prince and Xie Xun.
Fortunately for the fourth prince, he knew where the fourth prince's trump card was and he could figure it out, but this Xie Xun...
To be honest, Emperor Qi himself is not sure whether he can find this son.
At this time, when Emperor Qi heard that Xiao Shan mentioned Xie Xun and praised him a little, Emperor Qi immediately felt choked and uncomfortable in his heart.
Xiao Shan observed Emperor Qi's expression and stopped talking, without continuing.
After all, one or two words can be regarded as an unintentional act on his part. If he says too much, it means that he, a courtier, is stirring up trouble.
The reason why he has been able to stay by Emperor Qi's side for so many years and receive constant favor is due to his ability to accurately guess Emperor Qi's thoughts.
But just like this, how could he calm down the anger in his heart at being manipulated by Prince Huai's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, don't take it too seriously. What you just said are just old stories. Speaking of which, before, Princess Huai took the child to the street, and I took a look at it from a distance. The child was less than one year old and was already a dragon and a phoenix.
You are so smart and smart."
"Yunlin, Yunlin, the more I think about it, the more I think this name is a good choice! The word "lin" does not lose its nobility, and with the word "yun" in front of it, it is easy to pronounce."
Emperor Qi also chanted the little prince's name softly several times.
But the more I thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
The word "lin" is indeed noble, but it is not transcendent. It is acceptable, but if the word "cloud" is added in front...
The unicorn flies into the sky and steps high into the sky.
Emperor Qi's face looked ugly.
What was Xie Xun’s intention in giving his own child this name?!
Even if Taoist Yiqing takes the initiative to choose the name, he should consider whether the name is suitable!
As a father, he is still alive. If Xie Xun gives his son a name, he will soar into the sky?!
