Lin Zhixuan's brows furrowed tightly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A woman?

Xue An didn't know who this woman was, and even Chu Nan didn't know, she could only hear such a rumor.

Lin Zhixuan's mind turned thousands of thoughts, Chu Nan was not stupid, she went to report to Xue An, which was naturally for herself, but there may also be a little bit of Wang Jingsheng's meaning.

In this reshuffle of the court situation, Wang Jingsheng wanted to rely on the marriage between Chu Nan and the Xie family to live with the Xie family, but on the other hand, he was worried that the Xie family would not be able to fight Wei Mingxu, and asked Chu Nan to report to him through Xue'an, which also sold a favor to the Jingwang Mansion.

Wei Mingxu's two brothers, Wei Mingmu was still angry with Wei Mingxu in the original battle for the throne, but now he is very close to the Mu family and Wei Yanting.

Wei Mingji had an ambiguous attitude because of Wei Zhehuai's affairs and did not say a word about the current situation.

Xue An continued: "The prince also came to our house two days ago, and talked with my father for a long time behind closed doors. It's just that at that time, Chu Nan hadn't come to see me. She and I are both worried about you, now that you are pregnant, the Liang family has this incident again, you are afraid that you will have to worry and sleep, you should prepare for the affairs of the Xie family, it is best not to be involved. ”

Xue An's words were sincere, and now only Prince Zhuang Wei Yingxiang is willing to stand firmly on the same line with Wei Mingxu, he and Wei Mingxu are the two major regent princes of the dynasty, and most of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be in their hands, so naturally they don't want to have a piece of the pie alone.

In any case, the military power must not be held in the hands of Xie Bingchu alone, otherwise Wei Mingxu and Wei Yingxiang will become a showman.

The Great Zhou Dynasty suffered disaster after disaster, and it was also a fierce battle with Mongolia at the beginning, and the Mongolian army of 200,000 is now only 150,000.

At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, 100,000 Jinggi guards stayed in the capital, and the 100,000 Zhennan army could not act rashly, and the remaining 300,000 troops followed Xie Bingchu to fight Mongolia, and now Xie Bingchu left Xie Wenliang and 100,000 troops to guard the border, leading 120,000 himself, and 50,000 troops in the hands of Wei Mingji.

The 100,000 troops in the northwest are afraid that it will not be easy for Xie Bingchu to spit out, but if he swallows the 120,000 troops outside the suburbs of Beijing, it will be even more fearful, and how can more than half of the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty be in the hands of the emperor's relatives.

Xue An and Lin Zhixuan talked a lot about trivial things, and the two took a nap, woke up and talked for a while before saying goodbye.

At night, Wei Mingxu came back very late, and summoned the ministers in the outer study to discuss the matter.

When she came back, she thought that Lin Zhixuan had already slept, but Xia Lan listened to Lin Zhixuan's instructions and woke him up.

Wei Mingxu came in with a change of clothes, looked at Lin Zhixuan, who was slightly tired, and said distressedly: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Lin Zhixuan said: "Today, the princess of Zhuang and the lord of Yong'an County have come and told me about their son, and they want me to learn it from the prince. ”

Wei Mingxu ordered someone to turn off the lights, gently hugged Lin Zhixuan, and listened to her talk to him in detail.

Wei Mingxu was also a little puzzled, and said, "A woman, I'll send someone to check tomorrow." ”

Lin Zhixuan asked, "What are the actions of the Mu family?"

What Lin Zhixuan is most worried about now is that the Mu family and the Xie family are complicit.

Wei Mingxu saw that Wei Xue'an had already told Lin Zhixuan about it today, so there was no need to hide it from her, so he just said: "The Mu family naturally wants to find a way out of Xie Bingchu, and it is impossible for the Xie family not to use this kind of helper who comes to the door by themselves." ”

Lin Zhixuan sneered: "Xie Bingchu is probably jealous of the prince for the sake of this child in my womb. But the Mu family even has an eldest son of the emperor, is it possible that the Xie family will give the Mu family a good life?"

Wei Mingxu said: "The Mu family naturally knows this truth, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although the Mu family has been suppressed by me twice, but the bottom is intertwined, and the power is still not to be underestimated, in the battle between us and the Xie family, a big family like the Mu family sometimes has to fight for it." The Mu family also wanted to take the opportunity to get a little benefit. ”

Lin Zhixuan looked at Wei Mingxu and said, "Has the prince seen Mu Taichu?"

Wei Mingxu's face was unhappy and he bowed slightly.

"What are the benefits that the Mu family wants?"

Wei Mingxu was speechless, and Lin Zhixuan already had a guess in her heart: "Mu Huasheng?"

Wei Mingxu did not deny it.

Lin Zhixuan sneered, but she really never thought that the Mu family would attach so much importance to this deep palace woman.

Wei Mingxu said: "The Mu family wants Mu Huashang to raise the emperor." ”

Lin Zhixuan was shocked when she heard this, and said, "The Mu family is an idiot talking about dreams! Even Xie Bingchu can't allow him to do this." ”

Wei Mingxu said: "Yes, so the Mu family later retreated and agreed that the emperor would continue to be raised by the empress dowager, but they asked me to make Mu Huashang the empress dowager." ”

In this way, Wei Yanting is not only the eldest son, but also became a son-in-law, and he took the throne in the future, which was a big step forward.

Lin Zhixuan was faintly worried in her heart: "Is there any other way besides winning over the Mu family?"

Wei Mingxu sighed and said: "It's still very difficult to say now, Prince Zhuang's Mansion is naturally on our side, uncle and mother are the same, Wang Jingsheng's attitude is a little ambiguous, not very biased, but these days with the military department Shangshu Zhuang Xihan is very close."

The Gyeonggi Guards were taken away by the old 12 and 50,000, the remaining 20,000 were in the hands of his uncle, and the remaining 30,000 belonged to the Ministry of War. Zhuang Xihan, like Wang Jingsheng, was a loyal minister promoted by the first emperor in the past, and he was also a party that unanimously supported the establishment of the emperor. I'm a little jealous of me, but I don't think I'll support my relatives in power. ”

Lin Zhixuan heard Wei Mingxu say this, and Zhuang Xihan was afraid that he would still be in the middle, neither left nor right, and be the same as Wang Jingsheng.

"What about Prince Ying?" Lin Zhixuan asked Wei Mingji, after all, he still had 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands that had not been handed over.

"The twelfth and fifteenth have been passed into the palace by their mothers today. ”

The Empress Dowager came forward in person, so even if she is not 10% sure, there should be 80%. However: "70,000 vs. 120,000, there is still a huge difference." ”

Wei Mingxu said with a smile: "What are you doing here? His army is outside the city, if he really attacks the city, he will not be able to cross the moat of Beijing City, and if he really dares to use force, the people of the Gyeonggi Guards will not sit idly by." Even if he broke through the capital, would Wang Jingsheng still watch him enter the Forbidden City? This battle could not be easily fought, and Xie Bingchu did not dare to fight. ”

Lin Zhixuan said: "It's too, it's just that this talisman makes him vomit, and it's not easy to vomit." ”

Wei Mingxu hugged Lin Zhixuan tightly and said, "Okay, leave the matter outside to me and the ministers of the doorman to worry about it." You can't rest much, and it's best to keep your ears open to what's going on outside the window. ”

Lin Zhixuan only sighed softly, also for Wei Mingxu's sorrow: "Let me be this tired life, if I am idle, I will not feel comfortable." ”

Wei Mingxu suddenly remembered something and said: "Du Qin came back from Jinling today, I want to come to Cai's affairs with an eyebrow, I have been busy these days, I don't bother to ask him, if you are free tomorrow, you can send him to ask." ”
