Qian Fu had some cold sweat on his forehead. The young lady actually believed in him so much. You should know that in the past six years, let alone studying, he had problems with food and clothing.
"Miss, wait a minute, I'll go right now."
In just one breath, Shi Minwei, dressed in red, stood in front of Qingguan.
He didn't speak first, but kowtowed to Qingguan three times, and then sat across from her.
When Qingguan saw his attitude of neither being humble nor arrogant, he felt a little praising in his heart.
"I heard that Mr. Shi wants to be my master?"
Shi Minwei's eyes narrowed and he said: "Exactly."
"What are Mr. Shi's strengths?"
"I have no talent except for reading."
"You know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom?"
"No, I just followed my late father and read a few books."
If you know how to be humble, you will make great progress. Qingguan looked calmly in his eyes and said, "In today's world, what do Mr. Shi think?"
"It seems that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is smooth, but in fact it is full of dangers." Shi Minwei said calmly, twirling a few sparse beards.
"Where are you lying?" Qingguan asked.
"Lying on the outside is also on the inside."
"How can we say it outside, and how can we say it inside."
"Outside, there are Xixia in the west and Turks in the north. The two small countries are eyeing each other. Since the Sheng family was destroyed, there is no one available in the army. They are all a bunch of useless talents."
Qingguan was surprised, she never expected him to speak so straightforwardly.
"Internally, the prince was deposed and loyal ministers were killed. The root of the disaster planted six years ago caused the kings to take a peek at the throne. However, the emperor gradually grew old and devoted himself to cultivating Taoism."
Aging means that one is incapable of power; concentrating on spiritual practice means not doing one's job properly; the kings' peek at the throne means that whoever has full wings may ascend to the throne.
Qingguan suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly: "From Mr. Shi's point of view, who has a better chance of winning?"
Shi Minwei shook his head, "The way of heaven is impermanent, and Minwei is unable to get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven. But according to the current situation, only King Rui and King Xian have such strength. But..."
"Well...how?"
"Of course, blessings can turn into disasters, and disasters can turn into blessings. The two queens' mother clan is so powerful that it will be a disaster for their relatives to have exclusive power in the future. It depends on who chooses the person on the throne." Pain flashed in Shi Minwei's eyes. The tone became sad.
Qingguan's lips moved but she didn't speak, giving him time to calm down.
This person does have some real talent and knowledge, and the few words he just said are enough to prove that he sees things clearly.
Shi Minwei said: "I have been studying history books these days and suddenly discovered something."
"What's the matter?"
"To achieve great things, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable. Although I am so depressed that I am begging for a living, I often hear people's theories about those two kings. There are few praises and mostly derogations. , it shows that there is a lack of virtue.”
No one in Qingguan had ever told her about these general trends, and she listened with great interest.
"What's even more unexpected is that the common people think highly of the former prince."
Qingguan was surprised and hurriedly asked: "Why is this?"
Shi Minwei said: "It comes from the late Queen."
First Queen? Qingguan thought hard. She had entered the palace with her grandfather several times and had never seen the queen. She only knew that the queen was virtuous and virtuous. She was a model for women in the world and was well respected by the world.
Shi Minwei didn't know what Qingguan was thinking, so he thought of his own way. "The late empress was kind and treated people very kindly. In the 19th year of Baoqing's reign, there was a heavy snowfall in the suburbs of Beijing and the people were starving. The empress ordered the Duke's government to open a granary for disaster relief. She took the lead and did not wear fancy clothes or ornaments. She reduced the moonlight and the people were moved. Absolutely. Some people even set up a memorial tablet for the Queen at home. I remember it very well.
deep. "
It is indeed extremely rare for someone who has established a powerful country to not compete for favor in the harem but to be considerate of the people. Qingguan thought about her grandfather's respect for the late empress, and suddenly understood why her grandfather supported the crown prince until his death.
"It is precisely because of the late empress's various righteous deeds that the prince has laid the foundation in the hearts of the people. I remember that the prince was deposed six years ago and how many people took to the streets to express his grievances." Shi Minwei said with emotion.
Qing Guanyan slightly turned his face to one side, covering up the light in his eyes, and in a very low voice asked the words that had been hidden in his heart for six years.
"Why was the prince deposed?"
The topic of the crown prince being deposed has always been taboo, and no one among the people dared to discuss it. Qian Fu inquired many times, but because of his identity, he could only hear interviews in the market and could not take them seriously.
In recent years, they have lived far away from the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the capital, and they have no access to the core things, only wandering around the edges.
Shi Minwei trembled violently and looked at Qingguan with uncontrollable terror in his eyes.
"Sorry miss, I don't know."
have no idea? Qingguan frowned. Six years ago, Shi Minwei was nearly 30 years old. Why did he do nothing about such an important matter
Furthermore, as Mr. Shi Ge is the Crown Prince's Tutor, it is impossible for him not to discuss the affairs of the Crown Prince's Mansion at home. Didn't Shige Lao say a word before he died after touching a pillar
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Qingguan made a prompt decision. Something flashed through her mind, and she looked at Shi Minwei more carefully.
Under the candlelight, the eyes looked very bright, dark and deep, as quiet as a lake.
Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, Shi Minwei turned his face unnaturally. Qing Guan said gently: "Young master Shi is full of knowledge, and he is definitely more than enough to be a teacher for a wealthy family. But he is reduced to begging for a living. I wonder if he has no intention of getting rich, or is he doing it intentionally? Not to mention that no matter how dirty the siblings are, it is not impossible to give him a full meal. Okay. If you wander outside like this, you will lose everything.
The face of the Shi family. "
Shi Minwei looked at her blankly, unable to say a word.
Qingguan didn't want to let it go.
"Or maybe Young Master Shi wants to hide something?"
Shi Po's shocking words made Shi Minwei change his color instantly and his body was shaking like a sieve.
"You...you...which family are you from?"
Qingguan closed her eyes for a moment and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I am the sixth daughter of the second wife of the Gu family in Jiangnan Mansion. My mother is Qian, the second daughter of Qian Zongfang."
"Qian... Qian... you are from the Qian family..."
Shi Minwei took a few steps back, his body shaking even more. No wonder Qian Fu looked familiar, no wonder they were willing to help him like this.
It turns out that this is the case.
The relationship between the Qian family and the Shi family originated from the late queen.
Qian Zongfang was the late Queen's imperial physician, and Mr. Shi Ge was appointed by the Queen as the Crown Prince and Tutor. The two of them often walked around in front of the Queen, so it was not difficult for them to get to know each other.
Therefore, if the Shi family has any illness, they will ask Qian Zongfang to diagnose their pulse. How can the relationship be bad
Qingwan doesn't mind exposing her true identity. If he has talent, if she wants to use it, the first thing to establish is to admit it.
Of course, if through him, we can know more about the secrets of the year, this is what Qingguan wants.
Shi Minwei still didn't say anything, his pale face became more and more pale, and his eyes were still staring at Qingwan without blinking.
Qingguan knew what he was suspecting.
At a young age, she has extraordinary medical skills and a good family fortune. With such a group of people gathered around her, what does this sixth lady want to do
Qingguan's eyes darkened and he whispered: "My maternal grandfather's family was completely burned by a fire, and my mother got drunk with a bowl of poisonous wine. I have been pretending to be crazy and stupid all these years, but actually... I want to avenge them. "
As soon as the word revenge came out, Shi Minwei fell to the ground with fear in his eyes.
Qing Guan took a step forward and said sternly: "Shige always loves you so much. He died for the prince, and the Shi family is in such a state of decline. Don't you have any hatred or resentment? The son of a dignified Taifu, begging for a living, has seen the cold eyes of the world. , Don’t you want to stand out?”
Shi Minwei was forced to have no escape by her, and he stepped back desperately, shaking his head repeatedly: "I don't want to, I don't want to, I have no hatred, no resentment, and I don't want to get ahead."
"No, you have hatred. You have hatred in your heart. You stayed in the capital firstly to prevent the Shi family from being implicated. Secondly, you wanted to look for opportunities. It's a pity that you are too passionate about book business and you are not lucky at the same time. ”
Qingguan's voice became louder and louder, oppressing Shi Minwei's internal organs and bringing out the deepest things in his heart.
He lowered his head slumped and said in a low voice: "So what if I have hatred, it's not like I can't do anything."
"Just because you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. A person's life and a life of grass and trees cannot let you live in this world in vain."
Qingguan said word by word: "Master Shi, have you never thought about why I, a woman in a boudoir, want to find a master?"
Shi Min raised his head fiercely, his cloudy eyes showing a glimmer of light.
"Shi Minwei, come and help me, make suggestions for me, analyze the current situation, and most importantly, find out everything that happened six years ago and pay homage to the souls of the undead."
Qingwan's voice suddenly became very soft and soft, so soft that it was like a breeze blowing through Shi Minwei's heart.
In the past six years, he had been wandering around the market, and he had never forgotten his father's sad face that night. My father died miserably. He hit a pillar and died without closing his eyes.
After a long time, he slowly got up from the ground, his eyes bursting with sharp light, and the secret buried deep in his heart slowly emerged.
"The prince was deposed because of rebellion."
As soon as these words came out, Qingwan couldn't help but take two deep breaths. The crime of treason is unpardonable. No wonder the emperor had murderous intentions.
Qing Wan's eyes were like ice needles, and Shi Minwei smiled bitterly.
He remembered clearly that the night before his father died, the moonlight was dark and there was no light in the sky.
He pushed open the door and entered his father's study. His father had been sitting there for a long time.
Her father looked straight at her, tears slowly falling from his eyes. He was shocked.
His father ordered him to kneel down and said in a deep voice: "I was entrusted by the late empress to teach the prince. If something happens to a student, the master cannot be blamed. There are a few things that I want to teach you as a father."
His heart sank. At this time, the prince had been banned for treason, and the entire Sheng family was in jail. His father's words were obviously retribution for his determination to die.
"What happens in the court becomes clouds when you turn your hand, and rain when you turn your hand. As the saying goes, a king becomes a king and a bandit loses, and no one can blame anyone. If I don't come back tomorrow, take your mother away from the capital and find a safe place to live a happy life. ." He was shocked and called: "Father?"
