"Yeah." Qin Guanzhong didn't explain too much, he just gave Qin Shen a few words and then called him.

"I still have some things to do before I leave. Tomorrow you will go to Qingfeng Mountain with me."

Mrs. Qin was slightly startled when she heard Qingfeng Mountain.

Qin Shen responded, "Okay."

*

Qingfeng Mountain is the private property of the Qin family.

Qin Shen has been coming here with his father every year since three years ago.

There is no difference between Qingfeng Mountain and the hills next to it. The only difference is that on the east side of the mountain, under the lush pines and cypresses, there is an unnamed tombstone.

The two of them hiked up the mountain, and when they reached the top of the mountain on the east side, it was already getting late.

The bright sunshine fell in bunches from the gaps in the cloud-like leaves of pines and cypresses, and sprinkled picturesquely on the tombstone.

The tombstone was unnamed, and Qin Shen had never heard his father mention who this person was.

As he did in previous years, he personally went to visit the grave and sprinkled wine on it.

But my father, who had been silent for a long time in previous years, suddenly spoke today.

"You should have heard about the Jinan Mansion."

Qin Shen paused slightly as he put away the wine bottle, then nodded.

Mrs. Qin was recuperating at home, and it was difficult to understand what was going on outside. However, Qin Shen knew that just a few days ago, Xing Landong, who was ordered by the emperor to come to Shandong as the fourth-rank deputy inspector of the Prosecution and Inspection Division, arrested and imprisoned several Shandong officials.

They harbored evil intentions and deceived the public with their lies, trying to erase the sin of the late prince's rebellion, which implicated at least three clans.

You must know that back then, the late prince forced the late emperor to go to the palace and brought troops to the city. If it had not been for the timely rescue by the emperor, the late emperor would have been in danger.

Trying to erase the sins of the former prince is tantamount to rebellion.

When I first ascended the throne, there were all kinds of rumors. For example, the former prince was not a rebel, but the rebels were the people who are currently on the throne. Another example is that the former prince is not dead and is still living among the people. Another example is that the former prince is not dead.

, in addition to the former crown prince and the present emperor, the former emperor also had other princes or grandsons living among the people, etc.

But these voices have disappeared as the emperor now secures his throne.

It's just that natural and man-made disasters have continued in recent years, and the government has become increasingly lazy in politics, so these rumors have come out again.

Especially three years ago, Ye Zhichen, the first bodyguard of the late Crown Prince, was arrested. Now he is accused of helping the late Crown Prince rebel, and he has been on the run for many years spreading false rumors. Ye Zhichen was executed in front of the Meridian Gate.

Ling Chi would kill the person alive with one knife after another. Even after death, he would not be able to escape. He cut off the flesh piece by piece until the bones were exposed and all the flesh and blood were gone.

After that, no one dared to risk the lives and fortunes of the three or even nine clans to comment on this matter.

As for whether the current emperor's throne is legitimate, no one dares to mention it.

It's just that the excitement among the people is going on in a silent way.

Qin Shen was silent.

Qin Guanzhong suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the wordless monument in front of him, his voice a little hoarse, "Si Jin should be able to guess who this tomb is for."

A bird chirped past, and the wind scattered and stirred the mottled light and shadow.

Qin Shen looked at the tomb Qin Guanzhong set up three years ago and spoke in a low voice.

"He is the first bodyguard of the late prince, Ye Zhichen."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes rose from the tombstone and landed on Qin Guanzhong's face.

The faces of older people already have lines of time, and those lines are gathering more and more at this moment, trembling slightly.

"Yes, it's Ye Zhichen, my best friend in this life, the benefactor who saved my life on the battlefield."

After Qin Guanzhong finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Shen.

The moment his eyes fell over, Qin Shen seemed to suddenly know what he wanted to say.

The mountain wind carried all the deep human voices into Qin Shen's ears, making his heart tremble.

"The seat of the emperor in the imperial city is inhumane."

Thank you for the reward, thank you all for your recommendation votes!
