Qin Nuo had never been cruel to his younger brother. Now that he looked so miserable, and was still begging for his help, Qi Nuo was heartbroken, but in the end he still didn't have a hard heart. He went to a restaurant not far away, found a private room and sat down.
"Ziyan, what happened? How did you become like this when you are so good?"
At this time, Qi Xun was in a state of confusion, he was so flustered that he didn't know what to do, after hearing Qi Nuo's questioning, he suppressed the panic in his heart and told what happened.
"Brother, the emperor issued an order to deprive me of my official position and fame, and let me return to my hometown immediately, and return to Taohua Village to live..."
During these days, Qi Xun's life in the Imperial Academy was not easy, and everyone didn't target him at all, they just ignored him, treated him coldly, and didn't associate with him, but just like this, Qi Xun couldn't stand it anymore .
He kept holding a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that it would be fine to wait until he was released as an official. By then, he would stay away from the capital and those people who knew his past, and his life would be easier.
But Qi Xun never expected that the emperor would decree to deprive him of his official position and fame, and let him return to his hometown immediately.
What hometown did he return to? Since he can remember, he has been living in the capital, this is his hometown, and he doesn't want to leave here.
But now that he has been deprived of everything, he has no idea what to do next, and he can't think of any way to solve it. The only one who can help others in the capital is Qi Nuo, so Qi Xun stays with Qi Nuo and goes home The only way to stop him.
"Brother, please help me, this is my home, my roots are here, I don't want to go anywhere..."
As he was talking, Qi Xun's voice was a little more choked up, he was holding on to the hem of Qi Nuo's clothes, and his eyes were full of panic.
If he left the capital, then his life would be really over. He studied hard for ten years before he obtained his fame and entered the prime minister's residence. All of this was achieved by his own hard work. To be deprived of everything because of someone else
Qi Nuo didn't expect that Qi Xun would fall into such a situation, he was startled, and blurted out: "How is this possible? Did you offend someone? He came here to harm you on purpose?"
Qi Xun just shook his head, he was already in a turmoil right now, how could he think of what to do
"Brother, only you can help me, and my father, please let my father help me, I can't just lose the fame I got after studying hard for many years, please help me..."
Qi Xun was talking, but after all, he couldn't control his emotions, sobbing and crying, his appearance was so pitiful, seeing him like this, Qi Nuo felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he uttered a voice to comfort Qi For a while, but now he is full of hesitation and helplessness about the future, so how can Qi Nuo comfort him with a few words
"Okay, don't cry now, there may be room for improvement in this matter..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Xun grabbed Qi Nuo's hand and asked eagerly: "Really? Brother, I don't ask for anything, don't take my fame, please help me!" I, as long as my fame is not taken away, I am willing to do anything, please help me... "
His current appearance made Qi Nuo feel a little uncomfortable, but when he saw him crying and begging, the discomfort disappeared.
"I'll take you back to find your father."
This matter cannot be solved by Qi Nuo, after much deliberation, only Qi Yuanhang can solve this matter smoothly, so Qin Nuo decided to bring Qi Xun back to the prime minister's mansion.
However, when Qi Xun said that he wanted to take him back to the prime minister's mansion, Qi Xun showed a hesitant look on his face, and he said nonchalantly, "Is this not a good thing? Mother doesn't seem to want to see me very much. "
Qi Xun is not a fool, how could he not feel Lin Qinshuang's rejection of him, both his father and elder brother still have friendship with him, but his mother's attitude towards him has undergone many changes.
Seeing this, Qi Nuo said: "Mom is not in the house, you just follow me."
Because of Qi Xun, his mother made a fuss about reconciling with Qi Yuanhang. Qi Nuo didn't want Qi Xun to know that his life is already miserable. If there is a big disagreement, he may feel guilty and uneasy.
It's better to keep this matter a secret.
For Qi Xun, Qi Nuo can be said to be a well-deserved good big brother. He always thinks about him first, lest he feel a little bit guilty, but if he shares this little thought with his own brother, they will Life at home will not be what it is now.
Qi Nuo himself had a deep affection for Qi Xun, and judged others by himself, so he wholeheartedly thought that his father had the same affection for Qi Xun, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing Qi Xun back.
His younger brother encountered difficulties, and someone might be stumbling behind him. He couldn't solve it, so he naturally wanted to seek help from Qi Yuanhang.
After Qi Nuo returned home, he took Qin Nuo all the way to the foreign study where Qi Yuanhang was located without hindrance.
During this period, Qi Xun's heart was still a little up and down, and he always felt that it seemed inappropriate for him to appear here. He once tried to discuss with Qi Nuo, asking Qi Nuo to meet Qi Yuanhang first, and to test his tone. Then he followed.
However, Qi Nuo felt that Qi Xun was thinking too much: "It's okay, in fact, my father still has friendship with you, and the meeting is a three-point, please go after you go, say some soft words to coax your father, and tell him your difficulties, father will help you."
After hearing Qi Nuo's words, Qi Xun felt relieved a little, and followed Qi Nuo into the outer study.
Qi Yuanhang was reading a book in the outer study room. After hearing the movement, he looked up. When he saw his eldest son come in with Qi Xun, Qi Yuanhang's expression darkened instantly, but Qi Nuo didn't seem to notice. His father's expression was similar, and after saluting, he hurriedly told Qi Yuanhang what happened to Qi Qixun.
"Father, this is the case. This incident is very unusual. On the surface, it seems to be targeting Qi Xun, but in fact I think he is targeting you, father. We need to find out who is behind the scenes... "
However, before Qi Nuo could finish his words, he saw a black shadow throwing towards him, he subconsciously moved aside, the thing hit his shoulder, he only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, his face Let it cool immediately.
Qi Nuo gasped in pain, he looked at his father in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe why he had done such a heavy hand to him.
You must know that this inkstone was thrown at his head just now, if it hits hard, his head will probably be smashed by this inkstone.
"Father, how could you do this to me?"
Qi Nuo was really sad, and her voice couldn't help raising her voice a bit. After Qi Xun saw this scene, she was also frightened by Qi Yuanhang's sudden rage. She tightened her body as hard as she could, constantly lowering her presence.
Why did my father become so explosive and irritable after not seeing him for a long time
Seeing his son who had high hopes looking at him with a stupid face at this time, the anger in Qi Yuanhang's heart burned up, and then he pointed at Qi Nuo and yelled.
"I think you are confused. Someone targeted me by targeting Qi Xun and deliberately used him to slap me in the face. What is his relationship with me? In fact, he is still my enemy. I am happy that someone treats him like this How can you get angry because of him before it's too late? Hitting him can hit me? What's going on in your mind?"
After hearing these words, Qi Xun's face instantly turned pale, he took a step back, bit his lip tightly, and his body trembled.
In fact, Qi Yuanhang's words have already shown his attitude. He no longer has father-son affection for him, and even regards himself as an enemy. Will such Qi Yuanhang help him
Qi Xun fell into doubt, but this was his last hope. If Qi Yuanhang refused to help him, then he really had no choice but to go back to the backwaters of Taohua Village.
Qi Nuo was angrily reprimanded by Qi Yuanhang, his mind was also dazed, and he subconsciously argued: "Father, you can't do this. Ziyan is also your son. You have raised him for twenty years. It is better to be a parent than a parent. Father, you Do you dare to say that you have no father-son affection for him? Now that he has been framed and lost his official position and fame, this is slapping you in the face naked, naked, father, can you really bear this tone?"
Qi Yuanhang couldn't take it anymore, grabbed a few books and threw them at Qi Nuo, this time he couldn't dodge in time, several books fell on his face.
"You idiot, who told you that someone framed you? Where did you read all your laws!!"
Sometimes Qi Yuanhang also doubts whether the idiot in front of him is really his genius son who can read at the age of three and write poetry at the age of seven, or that he has been blinded by family affection and has forgotten everything. Heart and eyes are full of news.
Because of Qi Xun, how many mistakes has he made so far? Could it be that he still doesn't understand that Qi Xun is not his younger brother, and has no blood relationship with him at all. For such a person, he has forgotten everything, and now he is so confused that he brought him home .
It's an eventful time now, he has been targeted by political opponents, Qi Yuanhang was originally at fault, if people see that Qi Nuo brought Qi Xun back home, it will become another one in court tomorrow There are reasons for people to criticize him.
"The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty stated in black and white that those who abducted women and children were sentenced to beheading, and their immediate family members, parents, brothers, wives and children who had meritorious honors would lose their meritorious honors, and those who had no meritorious honors would be barred from taking scientific examinations for life."
"This is the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When you took the scientific examination, you also memorized the law from beginning to end. Don't you know this? His mother committed the crime of abduction and trafficking and was sentenced to beheaded by the autumn queen." , What is his identity, why should he be deprived of his fame?"
This time it's not like someone deliberately framed it as Qi Nuo said, it's just because someone remembered the crime committed by Qi Xun's mother and caught him, who slipped through the net.
"The Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people. Because of Princess Qinghe, the first emperor personally ordered the law to be revised. After the current emperor ascended the throne, he was exempted from the punishment of quartering his body by five horses and changing it to beheading, but the others were not. Nothing has changed, you asked Weifu to help, do you think Weifu can control the sky with his hands and eyes, and even influence the emperor's thoughts?"
There seemed to be thunder in Qi Xun's head, his face turned pale, and his body was on the verge of falling.
If it weren't for Qi Yuanhang's words, he would never have thought of these things, because Qi Xun is his beloved younger brother. Someone deliberately framed him, but he forgot that this was not intentional frame at all, Qi Xun deserved what he deserved.
He enjoyed everything that he shouldn't enjoy, and now he just took away everything that didn't belong to him.
After figuring this out, Qi Nuo's legs gave way and fell to the ground, his mouth opened and closed, unable to speak for a long time.
Qi Yuanhang was still angry, and looked sharply at Qi Xun who was huddled on the other side and pretended that he didn't exist.
"Qi Xun, I have forgiven you in terms of the feelings of the past so many years, and I have not continued to pursue your fault, but you used your feelings to kidnap your brother for your own sake. Because of you, our family The current life is in dire straits, aren't you satisfied? Do you have to let our family become fragmented because of you before you are willing to let it go? "
Seeing that Qi Xun's face became paler and paler, Qi Yuanhang did not stop his verbal attacks.
"Never treat everyone as a fool. Your elder brother is much smarter than you. The reason why he never doubted you is because he still has feelings for you. But if you have some conscience, you shouldn't take advantage of this pure conscience." Brotherhood."
Qi Yuanhang's words punctured the secret thoughts in Qi Xun's heart. He seemed to be stripped naked and stood under the sun. Under Qi Yuanhang's gaze that seemed to penetrate everything, his little thoughts were meaningless. Hide away.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm leaving now."
How could he have the face to continue to stay here when his thoughts were broken? Qi Xun hid his face and ran away, and soon there were only two father and son Qi Yuanhang and Qi Nuo left in the study.
After what happened just now, Qi Yuanhang felt physically and mentally exhausted, he let out a long sigh, with a deep tired look on his face.
"Zi Dan, I have high hopes for you. When I get old, you will need to shoulder the burden of the prime minister's mansion. It's not a bad thing to emphasize feelings, but you have to distinguish between the important and the important. You have to see whether that person is worth it or not." It is worth your help, Qi Xun is not worth it... "
Does Qi Xun have feelings for Qi Nuo? Of course there is, but it's hard to say how deep this feeling is. It's true that he regards Qi Xun as his big brother, and it's true that he has the intention to take advantage of him.
My son is a smart man, but emotionally he is a bit confused. The emotions of the past twenty years have blinded his eyes. He thought he was helping his younger brother, but the other party just regarded him as a useful pedal That's all.
Seeing Qi Nuo's shocked appearance, Qi Yuanhang didn't say anything more, and waved him to retreat.
Qi Yuanhang was the only one left in the study. He stood alone behind the large desk with a dazed look on his face.
Is there really something wrong with his education, otherwise, Qi Nuo and Qi Xun, who were raised by him personally, would become what they are now
Qi Yuanhang was bound to fail to understand this question, he stood in the study like a stone statue, and the lights in the study were on all night.
When he went to the court the next day, Qi Yuanhang looked extremely tired because he hadn't slept all night, but he put on a face, showing a look of avoiding strangers, but no one opened his eyes. Come and trouble him.
The situation in the early court was not much different from yesterday. The only good thing is that the emperor's attitude towards Qi Yuanhang's political opponents this time was not very good, and the officials belonging to his faction received a lot of praise from the emperor, which made him relax a little bit. tone.
It was good news for him that he was not rejected by the emperor.
After the early dynasty ended, the emperor left several ministers including the prime minister to discuss matters.
"Qin Tianjian handed over the brochure yesterday, saying that this year will be the year when the Naipao army will rise to the sun, and that there will be heavy rains along the Ruijiang River this year. I plan to send people to the Ruijiang River to inspect the dams and make preparations to fight the flood. Do you love me?"
Qi Yuanhang cheered up and recommended last year's champion of the new discipline: "Liao Mingrui is from Jiangnan. The veteran has read his papers and is very insightful in people's livelihood and water conservancy. Why don't you send Liao Mingrui to Ruijiang to investigate."
The emperor hummed, and turned to look at the other officials: "Do you have any candidates to recommend?"
King Su replied: "Your Majesty, although Liao Mingrui's talent is good, he is only talking on paper after all. It is better to ask the left servant of the Ministry of Industry to go. He is very experienced in river management. If you send him to go, you should be able to find a lot. question."
Qi Yuanhang frowned slightly, and glanced at King Su.
The left servant of the Ministry of Industry was a member of King Su, and he was at odds with him, and his sudden appearance was clearly aimed at cutting off bullshit.
Some of the others recommended Liao Mingrui, and some recommended Zuo Shilang. Everyone insisted that the person they recommended was the most suitable.
But who to choose, still depends on the emperor's decision.
