Tian Heng didn't care what kind of character this Li girl was, even if she was a lady from a century-old family, or the number one beauty in the world, it was not a problem for him.

Speaking of this draft, the Queen Mother's Wang family, the Fang family, and his Tian family all had daughters selected.

The Wang family was selected for two people, one is the queen mother's nephew Queen Bingyu, and the other is the queen mother's distant nephew Queen Bingyan. In addition, there is another person from the Wang family who was selected, but it was not surnamed Wang, but Cui Yunting, the daughter of the Queen Mother's sister. The Fang family was selected by Fang Xinyi's niece Fang Xiwan, and Fang Xinyi's concubine daughter Liang Min. The Tian family was only selected by one person, Tian Heng's niece Tian Bangqing, and there were no other relatives.

Tian Heng knew that the Queen Mother cared about this draft very much, so he invited the palace to teach her two school-age nieces early, and told her sister to teach her daughters well. And because Fang Xinyi's own daughters were all married, she could only respond to the queen mother's request and accept a daughter-in-law of the right age to her name and teach her as a concubine.

Tian Heng saw that there were five people from the Wang Fang family at once, and he felt that the matter would be disturbed, so he didn't want to add any more incidents to it. Only among the school-age daughters of the Tian family, one was selected to run for election with a gentle temperament and a steady manner, and the rest of the school-age ones said that they had already had a family affair, and they were exposed.

He knew that the Queen Mother would not brush off the only daughter sent by the Tian family, so since that day the Qianqing Palace came out to expand the scope of the draft, and then sent this niece, he has not paid attention to the follow-up of the draft until today. It turned out to be an outsider he couldn't have imagined to talk to him about the draft.

After a day of heavy rain, it finally gradually subsided at the end of the Shen Dynasty, and the dark clouds dispersed little by little, and the sky was a little bright.

Seeing off the two men who had put on their cloaks again, Tian Heng fell into deep thought for a while.

"Father thinks it's inappropriate?"

Tian Shaojing bypassed the screen from the back hall to the front hall, sat down under Tian Heng, and asked with his fingertips flicking the candlestick on the table.

Tian Heng glanced at his son: "How much have you heard?"

The child knew that the man was strong in martial arts, so he didn't dare to get too close, and he only faintly heard from a distance that it was someone from the Yuan Ning Palace, and there was something about the draft. Tian Shaojing replied.

Tian Heng nodded slightly, and said coldly: "That's Chu Tianyun, the fourth brother of Chu Tianfeng, the former king of Ning. I narrowly escaped my life back then, but I don't want to be so bold today. Thinking that the first emperor passed away, he saw the hope of King Ning's old case being reversed. ”

"The case of King Ning back then ......"

"Unjust cases. ”

"Unjust case?" Tian Shaojing exclaimed.

Tian Heng sneered: "I know Chu Tianfeng, this person, arrogant and incompetent, but cowardly and afraid. When Emperor Yingzong died, Empress Chu was powerful, and he borrowed the name of his sister-in-law from the first-class marquis to become King Ning. Everyone thought that this was a harbinger of the Chu family's rebellion, but after the Chu family was in the limelight, pressure from all sides followed, but Chu Tianfeng was afraid and didn't make any more moves. Then Empress Chu was condemned, and the Chu family was also weak, and he was even more retreating. After that, the first emperor rose up, and he saw that the general trend of the Chu family had gone, so he secretly took refuge in the first emperor and forced the Empress Dowager Chu to hang herself, so as to keep his own power. ”

Tian Shaojing said: "Although the Empress Dowager Chu died, the Chu family was also very powerful at the beginning of the first emperor. ”

"So what, he Chu Tianfeng doesn't have that guts," Tian Heng said disdainfully, "Not only is he not guts, but he doesn't have the strength of his eyesight, thinking that after he asked to return to the position of marquis, he showed his loyalty to the first emperor, and he could save the Chu family's glory and wealth." ”

"Chu Tianfeng's self-request to be demoted, didn't the first emperor reject it on the spot. ”

"Yes, this is just a temporary appeasement of the first emperor. Chu Tianfeng thought that the first emperor was afraid of him, and he didn't know how to restrain himself. ”

"This doesn't mean that he Chu Tianfeng really has no intention of rebellion?" Tian Shaojing asked.

Tian Heng sneered: "What was the reason why the first emperor borrowed the crime of King Ning's rebellion?"

Tian Shaojing thought for a while: "Didn't you say that you secretly hid the dragon robe and the imperial seal?"

"Where did you find the dragon robe and the imperial seal?"

"Isn't it his Chu Tianfeng's study? Yin Xuezheng personally led Long Xingwei to check it. ”

Tian Heng sneered again: "Does Jing'er remember the Xuanhua lockdown four years ago?"

Tian Shaojing was stunned: "Naturally remember, isn't that to arrest Qin Siwei, the widow of Yingzong, who slipped through the net? What's wrong?"

Tian Heng glanced at his son indifferently: "What is most likely hidden in Chu Tianfeng's study, is it the dragon robe, the imperial seal, or the letter?"

Tian Shaojing didn't know why, so he was speechless, just wide-eyed and waiting for his father's explanation.

"You don't understand that. Tian Heng's fingertips stroked the slight whiskers on his face and sneered, "Qin Siwei was still alive back then, and the first emperor didn't know anything about it. It was Long Xingwei who secretly reported the suspicion that he was alive, and the first emperor was furious when he heard it, so he ordered Yin Xuezheng to go and raid Chu Tianfeng's study, and sure enough, he found the letters he exchanged with Qin Siwei secretly. ”

Tian Shaojing was so shocked that he was speechless for a while.

Tian Heng snorted and continued: "Just imagine, if Chu Tianfeng really has the intention to return, will he be more successful in starting in the name of Qin Siwei, or will he be more successful in creating a dragon robe and sitting on the throne?"

Tian Shaojing thought for a while and said, "Naturally, it's the former." ”

Tian Heng nodded: "Take a step back, even if Chu Tianfeng really has his own ambition to ascend the throne, he will first support his sick nephew to go up, and then take the throne when he completely controls the government, so that he can be more sure of success and act cheaply." But he didn't, when the Empress Dowager Chu was powerful, he didn't succeed, and after the first emperor won the world, he had this opportunity, so he lost even more courage. ”

Tian Shaojing was stunned for a while before he said stupidly: "The first emperor searched Chu Tianfeng's study before he was sure that Qin Siwei was still alive. ”

"Yes. Tian Heng bowed, "I also knew that his sick nephew was in the area of Xuanhua City. ”

Tian Shaojing thought about it again, and then sneered: "In this way, Chu Tianfeng was a paving stone for Qin Siwei back then. ”

Tian Heng nodded coldly and smiled!

It was completely dark, and the air was fresh after the rain, especially in the lush countryside.

This is a small farmhouse courtyard, with several small bamboo, wood and grass houses.

In the central hall, the candlelight flickered.

"Sir, do you think someone from Natian will help take care of Shuang'er, will he recognize Shuang'er?" The heavy voice was very worried, but it was Chu Tianyun, who had just returned from Tianfu.

"Shuang'er left Beijing at the age of six to study martial arts in Yuntianmen, and it is rare to return home for a year, and there are very few people in Beijing who recognize her. What's more, more than five years have passed since this incident, and Shuang'er was not thirteen at the time, and will now be seventeen years old. She has not returned to Beijing for five years, and it is impossible for anyone in Beijing to recognize her. The person who replied was none other than Wu Bingsheng, who was like a Sven statue.

Chu Tianyun replied sullenly, and said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr., if it weren't for Mr. back then, our uncle and nephew would not have escaped this fate." Now because of the frost incident, Mr. Lao has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to ask for help. I just don't know how this Tian Heng will behave. Mr. thinks that Shuang'er can be selected to successfully enter the palace?"

Wu Bingsheng stroked his long beard, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, but his face replied calmly: "Brother Chu, don't worry, with Shuang'er's appearance, there is no problem in being selected." ”

Seeing that Wu Bingsheng was so sure, Chu Tianyun also immediately made up his mind: "Yes, Mr. is right, Shuang'er is so beautiful that several people in the world can compare, and he will definitely be selected." ”

At the same time that Chu Tianyun and Wu Bingsheng were discussing the entry of their niece into the palace, three other places in Beijing also received relevant information at the same time.

…………

It's the same suburb of Beijing, but the courtyard here is several times larger than Chu Tianyun's, not only are there many more houses, but each one has carved beams and paintings, which is not something that ordinary people can live in.

In the hall of a courtyard, Han Qihai held the information reported by his subordinates in his hand, and was silent.

"Any bad news?"

In another place in the room, Han Qishan sat in a wheelchair, fiddling with the sand table on the table while asking with a faint smile.

Han Qihai sighed lightly: "It's not bad, it's just that Chu Tianyun not only entered Beijing, but also took people to Tianfu today." ”

Han Qishan took a sand table in his hand: "Tian Heng and the Chu family actually have dealings?"

"This is exactly what I am strange about, I have never heard of the Tian family and the Chu family having dealings before. Han Qihai replied.

Han Qishan frowned slightly: "This is a new phenomenon, I don't know who Chu Tianyun brought to Tianfu?"

Han Qihai shook his head and explained, "When Chu Tianyun and the others entered the Tian Mansion, they both covered their faces with black cloaks, and our eyes in the Tian Mansion had no way of finding out who the visitor was. It's just that from the beginning of Chu Tianyun's entry into Beijing, I have been paying attention to his movements. Early this morning, as soon as the rainstorm fell, a person wearing a black cloak went to Chu Tianyun's residence. Soon, Chu Tianyun was covered with the same black cloak and entered the inner city with the people who came. Our people noticed that the newcomer was strong in martial arts, and they did not dare to follow him closer, so they did not know who it was. Only combined with the information reported by Tian Funa's eyeliner, there was no doubt that one of the people who entered Tian Mansion that day was Chu Tianyun. ”

Because of this new phenomenon, for a while, the two brothers of the Han family fell into contemplation.

…………

The inner city of Beijing is not far from the imperial city, and as long as you stand on a high place in this courtyard, you can clearly see the high walls of the imperial city.

This is where the largest secret service in Beijing, the Zhenfu Division, is located.

In the middle of the front yard, a small hut with doors and windows closed.

There are only a few white candles burning in the room, and there are no lampshades, and a person can alarm the dimming of the candle if he moves a little bigger.

Where the candlelight was faint, Yin Xuezheng sneered at the note handed over by Xu Xing, and after a while, he rolled it up and threw it towards the candle.

After only a few 'whooshs', the note instantly ignited a bright fire, and after a few moments, only a few wisps of ashes remained.

"My lord?" Xu Xingtan asked.

Yin Xuetian smiled coldly: "Chu Tianyun still has some ability, as soon as he entered Beijing, he entered Tianfu in less than a day. Tian Heng is very courageous, and such a person dares to receive it. ”

"Chu Tianyun has entered the Tian Mansion?" Xu Xing exclaimed.

Yin Xuezheng nodded: "It depends on the situation, Chu Tianyun brought someone that Tian Heng had to receive." Our eyeliner in Tianfu said that Tian Heng received a token from nowhere a few days ago, saying that someone would come to visit today, and the person who didn't want to be the head would be Chu Tianyun. However, it was confirmed from another source that the person Chu Tianyun brought was the one who really wanted to visit Tian Heng. ”

Xu Xing was stunned: "Who did Chu Tianyun bring?"

"I don't know for the time being. Yin Xuezheng snorted coldly, "But there is definite news, they are here for the draft." ”

"Draft?" Xu Xingqi said, "Hasn't the show girl been decided yet?"

"It's all decided, just waiting for the Queen Mother's last words. ”

"That Chu Tianyun is still ......"

Yin Xuezheng sneered: "I think there is someone from Chu Tianyun's side among the selected show girls, so I want Tian Heng to take care of it here." Tian Heng is a little bit of a person from the two sides of the king, not greedy for money, he likes to balance the forces of all parties and wander among them, and if he can, he will not do much. The person who came should have seen this and asked for him. ”
