Lao Xie had already taken action. During the banquet and in front of all the officials, there was no way he could tolerate the Prime Minister not accepting it. After all the officials figured out what this 'gift' was, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all looked overjoyed.
With all the words of congratulations coming out of his mouth, the already lively scene became even more intense.
The banquet that started at Youshi did not end until half of Haishi. All the officials left, and there was another round of greetings. No one else was there, except Imperial Physician You, who turned back three times every step of the way and looked back in the direction of Song Yang, with a look of reluctance on his face...
When everything settled down, it was almost midnight, but Lao Xie did not leave. He always waited patiently aside. Seeing that Prime Minister Fu finally finished his work, he stepped forward, without using his official position or mincing words.
, said directly: "Brother Fu, I have something to do with you."
"It just so happens that I also have something to tell you. Come with me." The Prime Minister took Lao Xie's wrist and walked all the way to the inner hall, directly to Song Yang's room, and then continued to smile: "I originally wanted to ask you to do it.
This boy's godfather hasn't been named yet, but he's been waiting for you to come. He didn't expect you to be his father-in-law... Haha, that's fine, but he still wants you to be named, so please do it now
.”
According to the custom in China, a man in his twenties is said to be a weak man before he can understand the Chinese characters. However, you might as well draft the characters in advance.
Song Yang was woken up by the sound of voices. When he opened his eyes, he saw that a thin man had left before and now a fat man had arrived. The words of the Prime Minister's father also made him feel a little puzzled. He did not have the Chinese character "Guan", but he
When I listened to 'parents' chatting in the past, I knew that the Prime Minister had already drafted seven or eight 'characters' for himself, but he had not yet decided which one to use.
There is no way to say 'wait for the fat man to come and write'.
The Prime Minister has his own thoughts, and he understands the venomous nature of Xie, and the baby's kiss is really a bit strange. He can't see through the matter in front of him, and all he can do is to use his son to improve the relationship between the two parties.
If you get closer, then there is the matter of 'crossing the word'.
Then, the prime minister looked at his youngest son again. Regardless of whether the Hundred Days Baby could understand his words, he continued to smile and said: "You are so lucky to be the son-in-law of a famous martial arts expert in Dayan Kingdom. You will learn one and a half moves in the future.
, just in time to offset the sourness of our Fu family."
Lao Xie chuckled: "It's just my two rough moves, please don't laugh at me!" Soon, when the servant presented the pen and ink, he had already thought of Song Yang's 'character', and he made a big stroke.
I waved and wrote two words on the paper.
The Prime Minister was originally smiling, but when he saw the words drawn by the fat man, his expression immediately changed, and he whispered softly: "Kill people?"
Elimination of elimination.
The person who is eliminated.
My fourth son is someone who shouldn't live.
Song Yang only heard the sound but couldn't see the words. He was still muttering in his heart: Song Yang, Song charming? This word... Is the fat man educated?
Lao Xie put down his pen: "There is a secret matter that can only come out of my mouth but into my brother's ears."
The Prime Minister understood and coughed lightly. Several figures flashed past the window and at the door... The Prime Minister's guards, who were always hidden in the dark, retreated.
Lao Xie was not surprised, and his expression remained sincere: "On the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, the Imperial Master observed the sky at night, and there was a 'Tiansha Demon Star' falling into the world of the Yan Kingdom and being reincarnated as an adult. When he grows up, this person will mislead the world and cause chaos in the country. That night
The Holy One summoned me to the palace to see him."
As he spoke, Lao Xie took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "The Holy One asked me: If no baby is born tonight, how will it be reincarnated?"
People who can reach the high position of prime minister will never put human life in their sights, but even so, after hearing what Lao Xie said, Mr. Fu still had goosebumps on his back.
No one was born that night? It would be right to kill all the babies born that night.
Dayan has a huge population, and hundreds of thousands of babies are born in one night...
Lao Xie kept saying: "The Holy One has entrusted me with this important task. In addition, he asked me to remember eight words: Emperor Dayan, loves his people like his own son!"
A massacre, killing all the babies born that night, although it is horrifying, is not difficult. There are only two real troubles: one must not be missed; the other cannot be publicized and cannot be dispatched to the state officials.
The imperial court massacred babies. Once this matter was leaked out, it would inevitably cause a civil uprising.
The Chang Tingwei in charge of Mr. Xie has the responsibility of supervising the country. They have spies everywhere from villages and towns to the court in Kyoto. This "no one was born that night" job is within their scope of authority and responsibility.
, and only they can do it satisfactorily.
The killing was carried out in secret, and even the prime minister would not have known about it unless the man named Xie told him about it.
Mr. Xie moved his eyes away, no longer looking at the Prime Minister, but stared at the candlelight on the table: "On the night of the seventh day of May, I will have errands for a hundred days... Today is the last day, and the Fourth Young Master is the last one."
Prime Minister Fu looked calm and showed no reaction. Song Yang on the bed was frightened out of his wits. Tiansha Yaoxing, the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, the last one... He listened to every word of Lao Xie's words, and of course he understood what the other party was going to do.
.
"I came so late to my brother's banquet because I didn't know what to do." At this point, Lao Xie suddenly changed the subject: "Tomorrow I will send my daughter to my house. Whether the Fourth Young Master is there or not,
She is the daughter-in-law of the Fu family and a member of the Fu family."
Prime Minister Fu sighed slowly and finally understood what Lao Xie meant by 'engagement'.
In terms of power and status, the Prime Minister is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Even the 'snake' Lao Xie does not dare to touch his family. But the emperor's order is difficult. The prime minister's fourth son was born on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month.
At night, everyone in the court knew about this, and even if Lao Xie wanted to secretly let Song Yang go, he couldn't.
Lao Xie didn't want to offend the Prime Minister because of the 'emperor's order', so he 'sent' his youngest daughter to the Fu family in exchange for repaying the life of the Fourth Young Master.
It was the emperor who wanted to kill Song Yang, but Lao Xie still paid for his girl. This arrangement was watertight, both public and private, and the prime minister could only appreciate it and could not say a word at all.
Lao Xie finally moved his eyes away from the candlestick and looked at Song Yang who was lying on the bed: "This is a good boy. Look at him, he seems to understand what adults are saying... his eyes are so bright, looking back and forth between you and me."
The Prime Minister smiled: "If he could really understand, he would have burst into tears long ago."
Song Yang didn't cry.
The prime minister is his "real" father and his hope for survival, so he has to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy?
Song Yang understood very well that it was useless to do so. The matter of "killing the demon star", speaking from a large perspective, would affect the safety of the country; but when it came down to himself, it was related to Prime Minister Fu's loyalty to the emperor and the court. To be the prime minister
How could a person in a high position not know how to make a choice between advancement and retreat, and how could he offend the emperor for the sake of his fourth son who was just a hundred days old?
The official's father would not protect him, and with his current baby body, Song Yang couldn't do anything.
After time travel and rebirth, only a hundred good days passed before Douda faced the word "death" again. This is what fate is, and if it is so, why bother crying.
Sure enough, it was a matter of life and death for his youngest son, so Mr. Fu just said lightly: "The world is the most important thing." Then he bowed to Lao Xie: "Thank you." After saying that, he didn't even look at Song Yang again, and took a step forward.
Leaving. Perhaps because he was afraid of arousing suspicion, he left Song Yang with Lao Xie.
But Prime Minister Fu didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door, Lao Xie suddenly said "Huh" in surprise, and then said: "Prime Minister, please stay." As he said this, he reached out and pointed to Song Yang on the bed.
Following Lao Xie's instructions, Prime Minister Fu looked back and was really surprised: the young son, who had been bright-eyed and full of life just now, now looked gray and had no luster on his skin... The fourth son was dead.
Lao Xie stretched out his hands and shook his head solemnly: "I haven't done anything yet."
Even though the two adults were well-informed and their minds were a little confused, what happened was a bit too weird. After a while, Prime Minister Fu showed a wry smile: "God willing, he is indeed a good boy, I am afraid that I will embarrass my father.
