The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1033 The whole story

After hearing Sheng Yuan's question, Ge Qingyu fell silent.

Sheng Yuan did not rush her, but silently calculated the temporary retreat route in her heart.

After all, attacking her edge is not her style.

She may like to bluff people, but she never succeeds.

"The slave family used to think very highly of themselves, thinking that everything was between the curtains, but they didn't expect that they were jumping around according to other people's words. Now it's ridiculous to think about it." After a moment of silence, Ge Qingyu finally said Sighing softly, his two clear eyes looked at Sheng Yuan with helplessness.

"Sir, you are the sixth grader, reincarnated by Wenqu, and you are unparalleled in resourcefulness... I don't dare to lie in front of you."

She paused slightly, rolled her eyes for a moment, and continued to speak in a low voice: "At that time, the floods had just subsided, and the people were in need of care and relief. The opportunity of Zezhou Prefecture to save itself should not be ignored. The slave family, the slave family...the slave family did not have a single person alive. Between the two, I chose the latter."

She almost whispered the last few words, and if Sheng Yuan hadn't been able to hear them very well, she might not have been able to hear them clearly.

"To live one person or to live ten thousand people?" Sheng Yuan raised her voice slightly, "Looking at it this way, Mrs. Ge still knows the overall situation very well?!"

Ge Qingyu understood the sarcasm in Sheng Yuan's words, and she pursed her lips to calm down her emotions.

She was prepared to face criticism as early as she made her decision.

"The slave family thought that they just wanted to take away the homeless women and children of Zezhou Prefecture on the pretext of missing after the disaster. Although their intention was evil... But if they can temporarily save the people of the prefecture, they can survive the disaster without being hungry or cold. When it comes to rebuilding, we can still plan for it slowly, which is better than having the city's population decline. "

Sheng Yuan had no words this time, nor did she comment on the other party's choice.

In the final analysis, the decision made by Ge Qingyu and his wife was that two helpless people gave up some poor people, and then saved most of the innocent people who were kept in the dark.

The choice under such circumstances cannot be evaluated in terms of right or wrong.

If it must be said that it is wrong, it is the fault of those who have designs on it!

"The slave family originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and mute, coaxing the husband to manage the Zezhou Mansion, and then look for opportunities to collect clues after temporarily overcoming the difficulties, in order to make meritorious service and atone for his sins in the future."

"Then why did Mrs. Ge change her plan?"

Ge Qingyu held her forehead with her delicate hand, and after shaking her head several times, she finally confessed with trembling lips: "Although the slave family has given up a group of children, they still want them to live. Only by living can we look forward to the future."

When she said this, she was so emotional that she couldn't speak. It took a long time before she continued: "The slave family thought that those people needed manpower and sufficient troops, so it was better to treat them better, but they didn't want to receive a secret message later. They asked the husband to put the people under their control. The planned area is well arranged.

Although the specific plan has not been stated clearly, the slave family is not stupid. Women and children, the elderly and the weak, and young men and women are divided into three groups. The resettlement areas of the three groups are clearly distinct, and their purpose is self-evident.

The slaves are not ignorant concubines, and they will not blindly interpret them with good intentions... I am afraid that when the bandits land, the weak will be used as bait and the potential will be plundered.

The slave family had chosen without conscience before, all in order to save the lives of the people in the house. If they really followed their advice, what would become of the previous entanglement and pain? "

The moment Ge Qingyu guessed the other party's plan, he fell into extreme panic and self-blame. Now that she could express her feelings in front of Sheng Yuan, her mood, which had been bad for a long time, gradually relaxed.

"Mrs. Ge, it seems that you haven't told me yet, who are the conspirators you mentioned?!"

Sheng Yuan waited for the other party to calm down before asking slowly.

Mrs. Ge murmured twice, "Although the Nu family doesn't know who is using the name of the former Qi royal family to conspire, they do know that they probably want to use the shell of the former Qi royal family to do things in the name of the former Qi royal family."

"...Okay, I believe what you said is true for the time being, but Mrs. Ge, how can you be sure that it is not the remnants of the former Qi who joined with you?" Sheng Yuan looked at her and refused to let go of her expression.

Mrs. Ge gritted her teeth, raised her eyes to meet hers, and looked at herself in her eyes without hiding: "Sir Governor, although I don't know the inside story, I will recognize some key information due to fate.

When they contacted the Nu family couple, they always used the name of the former Qi crown prince, and they kept saying that they wanted to restore the country and seize Chu. However, they did not know that the real former Qi crown prince and several princes and grandsons had used the name of the former Qi crown prince as early as after the Chu conquered Qi for the first time. In the name of long-distance crossings, merchant ships traveled across the ocean to Europe, or even further continents. "

"!!!" Sheng Yuan was shocked when he heard this, "The princes and grandsons who were sent away by the Qi royal family when Qi joined forces to fight for the Chu territory..."

"They are all just used to replace Tao Zhan's little eldest son!" Mrs. Ge sighed softly.

"The former Qi Emperor did this... He was too confident in the Great Chu Emperor Chengyuan, right?" Sheng Yuan remembered that there was a lot of time between the three alignment wars. The former Qi Emperor only suffered a defeat and sent his descendants away... ...This is a bit too thoughtful.

"If Dachu lets Qian Qi go, Qian Qi's land and state will be transferred to Xiao Zong... How can the Qian Qi Emperor still have such a big heart?!"

It wasn't that Sheng Yuan looked down upon him, it was mainly because of the temperament of the former Qi Dynasty Emperor. Even the distant Nurhan people had heard about it. The emperor who was so awkward, stingy, and vindictive could still be so generous.

"The last emperor of the former Qi Dynasty trusted Qin Tianjian and the imperial advisor. He heard about the changes in the stars and asked the imperial advisor to analyze it. He learned that 'the great Chu attacked Qi and was exhausted three times.' So the emperor came up with the idea of ​​procrastination. If he could After surviving this difficult period, it is not too late for him to accept concubines and have more princes to inherit the country. "

When Sheng Yuan heard the last part, she couldn't help but sympathize with the former Qi crown prince and other princes and grandsons who went to the continent across the ocean. After all, from a certain perspective, those Tianhuang nobles have also been given up.

"...Mrs. Ge, you know the inside story so clearly, so based on your background, I, um, can you make a reasonable guess that when you left Qianqi with your family and crossed the sea to Chu, you were the same as Qianqi in time. It seems that the prince can get along well with him when he travels far away?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, sir." Ge Qingyu acquiesced.

"It's just obvious. I don't deserve your wife's praise."

Sheng Yuan's modesty left Ge Qing speechless, but she calmed down and continued: "The Nu family's grandfather once served as the Crown Prince and Tutor. When he did not want to retire and become an official, he was entrusted by the late Emperor to escort the Crown Prince and all the princes and grandsons. Denghai.”

"In this case, Mrs. Ge, does she know why your family didn't leave on the boat?"

Ge Qingyu shook his head: "The descendants of the Ge family have withered away. In the Nu family, including the Nu family, there are only three girls and one husband... My grandfather is well aware of the attitude of Qi Qi towards girls, and he also knows the temperament of the early princes and their relationship with others. The emperor is the same as his father, so he chooses to deal with the consequences for the princes. "

"Mrs. Ge, do you have any sisters or brothers in your family?" Sheng Yuan remembered that in the investigation report obtained yesterday, it was recorded that Ge Qingyu was the only daughter.
