197 Remnants 4

After learning that Chen Tingqiu's true identity was the right prime minister's sister, Yu Shiqi subconsciously wanted to turn around and escape.

He vaguely felt that he had fallen into this woman's trap. Last night, he saw something he shouldn't have seen under the imperial tomb. At that time, the woman was not sure of doing anything to him, so she deliberately showed goodwill to trick him into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Maybe the next moment she will clap her hands and call out the soldier who is lying in the dark?

Yu Shiqi swallowed with difficulty, and his sword was still kept at the housekeeper for custody. If he met the enemy at this time, it would be quite troublesome, and he really didn't want to take Chen Tingqiu in front of him as a hostage.

Escape directly before the other party has started, perhaps the best choice is to escape directly.

"What's wrong? Are you scared now?" The hand shadow in front of you shook, Yu Shiqi's eyes condensed again, and found that Chen Tingqiu was looking at him in confusion.

Without the secret codes and the soldiers who flocked in, it seemed that he was too careful.

"I just don't understand..." Yu Shiqi looked at her confusedly, "Since you are the right prime minister's sister, how could you have such a stance when you said..."

"Because I sympathize with the old subordinates of the Northern Expedition Army, I sympathize with His Majesty the Emperor." Chen Tingqiu's eyes naturally showed irresistible sincerity when he spoke.

Seeing that Yu Shiqi was silent, she continued, "I am not a big deal in the imperial court, but I am appointed by my brother to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb. By the way... take a little care of Your Majesty who is trapped there."

"Since you sympathize with him, have you never thought about saving him?" Yu Shiqi asked, "Last night, Xiao Xihong kidnapped you to go there to take the emperor away, but you wanted me to stop him?"

"Although I sympathize with the emperor and his officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition, I do not want Chen Lin to fall into endless turmoil." Chen Tingqiu explained, "Even though Xiao Xihong successfully took the emperor away last night, the dream of reappearing the dynasty that the 'residual soldiers' asked for during the heyday of the Beining period was no longer possible. As for why I am so sure, if you are familiar with the major events from Xiuhe to the 17th year of Beining, you will understand."

Yu Shiqi shook his head ignorantly and admitted frankly: "I know a lot about military and national affairs. Even the father of Xiao Xihong you mentioned... What I know about General Xiao only comes from the folk legends, operas and picture books."

"The Romance of Zi Chen's Suppression of Rebellion"?" Chen Tingqiu suddenly laughed.

From Yu Shiqi's surprised reaction, she knew that she was right.

"I actually wrote the first draft of the Romance." After saying this, she didn't care whether Yu Shiqi believed it, and continued to say on her own: "Your Majesty is a king with great vision and a long-term vision. Only he can lead Chen Lin's heroes to defeat the strong enemies on the grassland. Unfortunately, as Chen Lin's opponent, Rong Xia was also lucky to usher in their unparalleled Yizhixie Shanyu. Therefore, the Northern Expedition gradually evolved from the thunderous storm of triumphant storm that swept the young talents of both countries."

"I have heard that many people have sacrificed for the Northern Expedition."

"It's too many to imagine." Chen Tingqiu looked at him sadly, "Although His Majesty finally defeated Yi Zhixie, the elite soldiers and generals around him also withered in the conquests during these nineteen years, so that he will now become a trapped dragon under the imperial tomb."

Yu Shiqi vaguely understood what she meant: "So even if Xiao Xihong and the others were able to rescue the emperor, they would be unable to change the reality of his loss of power..."

"Yes, it's just a new bloody dispute in vain, but in the end nothing can be changed." Chen Tingqiu lowered his head and sighed, "You heard it last night. Your Majesty himself is also very clear about this, so he doesn't want to leave with Xiao Xihong, and even asked Xiao Xihong to persuade General Ye in turn."

"You have known about the existence of the 'residual soldiers' for a long time, but because of sympathy with them, they did not reveal it?"

"I am not the only one who knows the existence of the 'residual soldiers', but my brother also knows it." Chen Tingqiu smiled faintly, "After listening to what I just said, you may think that my brother is a conspirator who plays with power. He joined forces with the Regent to seize the power that belonged to the emperor, but for him it was just a revenge. Our father was once executed by the emperor on the eve of the Northern Expedition, and the charge was for collusion with the enemy, but in fact he did not do anything to sorry to Chen Lin."

Yu Shiqi felt shocked again: "Do you know this, and still sympathize with the emperor? Talking for him?"

"If someone killed your father, would you always regard him as your mortal enemy and live for the rest of your life for the judgment and sanction him?"

"meeting."

"My brother thinks so too." Chen Tingqiu nodded, "But I am a little different. First of all, I don't remember anything when my father died. These are all heard from my brother when he grew up. What I also know is that we were going to be exterminated, but General Xiao saved us with an imperial edict during the execution."

Yu Shiqi was already in chaos. He held his forehead with some distress, not knowing what to say.

"Did you get annoyed? Sorry, these things have nothing to do with you. It's just that there is a rare person to talk to. I can't help but want to say more." Chen Tingqiu said to Yu Shiqi apologetically.

"No...it's okay." Yu Shiqi took a deep breath, "I just didn't expect your life experience to be so complicated. As for the love and hate you have in your heart, I don't have the right to evaluate it."

"Thank you, I have something I want to ask you if I can..." Chen Tingqiu suddenly became hesitant, which made Yu Shiqi feel a little bad. He thought that what she was going to say next might be a bit tricky.

He had already had enough trouble, so he should have rejected her without hesitation, but after her heart-to-heart talk about her just now, Yu Shiqi felt a little unbearable to reject her completely.

"You can say it first." He decided to listen first.

"You have to continue investigating next? If you can meet Xiao Xihong or the 'residual' people... I'll try to persuade them to give up the action of Shang Yuanye for me?"

"Is it useful for my advice?" Yu Shiqi felt that this request was a bit incredible.

Chen Tingqiu smiled tiredly: "I have no choice but to do this, just treat the dead horse as a living horse."

"Since Chen Xiang knew the existence of the 'residual soldiers', he must have been prepared for the arrival of Shang Yuanye, right?"

Chen Tingqiu nodded silently, but refused to say more about what his brother was preparing for.

"Then are you actually worried about the 'residual soldiers'?" Yu Shiqi understood that although the right prime minister Chen Yechen had a certain tolerance for the old subordinates of the Northern Expedition Army, he would not sit idly by and watch the soldiers destroy the ceremony and night banquet of Shangyuan Yechaotian Palace. If the remnants dared to come, they would inevitably be a bloody battle.

Seeing that Yu Shiqi understood his thoughts, Chen Tingqiu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "I just don't want to see the turbulent and uneasy in the imperial capital."

Yu Shiqi nodded: "It's rare that you have a compassionate heart. If I can meet the remaining soldiers again, I will try to persuade them to give up. But I'm afraid... it won't have any effect. Moreover, the one who wants to make trouble in the imperial capital on Yuan Ye is definitely not just a force of the remaining soldiers."

Chen Tingqiu frowned worriedly: "Have you found the eyes of Yunzhongjian?"

Yu Shiqi didn't want to make her too upset, so she smiled and comforted: "There are some clues, don't worry."
