When I came out of the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, it was already dark.
Xiao Xianhong has been chattering since he got into the carriage, although the purpose of coming to Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion today has been achieved, and Liao Chuxiu has also promised to help him this time, but Xiao Xianhong still feels unstable.
It was really Liao Chuxiu's appearance that he turned his face like that at the beginning that he was too impressed, and the goodwill of that day was still in front of him, but in a blink of an eye, he could deny it by being drunk.
With such Liao Chuxiu, will he really help him?
Xiao Xianhong said for a long time, but he didn't hear Chen Pinyun's voice, he couldn't help but look up, only to find that Chen Pinyun was frowning.
"Grandfather?" Xiao Xianhong waved his hand.
Chen Pinyun came back to his senses, saw Xiao Xianhong looking at him, and said, "What did His Highness say?"
"I said, do you think Liao Chuxiu will really help me? I always feel that he has a perfunctory attitude towards me, even if I give him that thing, he is still cold, he will really help me because of that scroll?" Xiao Xianhong said.
Chen Pinyun said lightly when he heard this: "He will." ”
The holy decree that Xiao Xianhong gave to Liao Chuxiu is equivalent to a volume of canonization and pardon, which seems to be useless at the moment, but if Xiao Xianhong can really ascend the throne in the future, with the scroll covered with his private seal, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion will be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Chen Pinyun himself is also a military general and a courtier, and he knows very well how attractive that thing is to the people in the court.
As long as Liao Chuxiu is not stupid, he will never refuse.
Merely......
Chen Pinyun looked at Xiao Xianhong: "Even if Liao Chuxiu helps His Highness this time, it doesn't mean that he chose you, he holds more than half of the military power in Beijing, and His Majesty values it, and the power of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in the army in the past two years is even more amazing." ”
"He helps you, it's just a favor that can be earned with a show of hands, even if His Highness can't get out of it, it won't hurt him at all, but if you want to assist you, you have to attach the future of the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to Your Highness, how can Liao Chuxiu do it easily?"
Xiao Xianhong pursed his lips when he heard this, although he also knew in his heart that Liao Chuxiu could not really become his person, but after hearing Chen Pinyun's words, he still showed disappointment.
If he can really win over Liao Chuxiu, he will be able to keep up with the strength of the army, whether it is fighting for power with others, or competing in the future, he will have a greater chance of winning, and what he said to Liao Chuxiu in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion before is not a lie.
Since the accident three years ago, Emperor Yongzhen's health has been worse day by day, he held the throne and refused to establish a prince for a long time.
No one can be sure how long he can still be in that position, if there is really an accident in the palace one day, with Liao Chuxiu, it is equivalent to holding most of the capital in his hands, who can compete with him at that time?
When Xiao Xianhong thought of this, he thought of the Liu family and Liu Xiangcheng again, and resentment arose in his heart: "It's all to blame on the Liu family, if they hadn't designed it at the beginning, how could I have taken Liu Huiru's body, if they hadn't hidden from me that Liu Huiru was pregnant, I should have taken her into the house a long time ago, how could I make such a mess today." ”
"I thought that Liu Xiangcheng was really assisting me, but now it seems that he is clearly using me as a stepping stone and wants to use my connections to complete their Liu family. ”
Chen Pinyun's eyes were also clouded when he heard this, and he said coldly: "In the end, we underestimated the Liu family. ”
"Grandfather, what are we going to do now?"
Chen Pinyun said coldly: "Since he wants to clear up the relationship with us, then he will find a way to make him unclear." ”
No matter who Liu Xiangcheng really wants to assist, as long as the Liu family completely becomes a person in the same boat as the eldest prince, who will dare to really use him at that time? And once the future of the Liu family is tied to the eldest prince and shares honor and disgrace, how can Liu Xiangcheng stand idly by and watch the affairs of the eldest prince again?
If he refuses to contribute and sees the defeat of the eldest prince, then together with the Liu family, he will bury the eldest prince and his Chen family!
Xiao Xianhong's eyes were slightly stunned when he heard this: "Grandfather means ......"
"His Royal Highness will go to Liu's house tomorrow to discuss the marriage with Liu Huiru. ”
Xiao Xianhong was stunned: "At this time, but Liu Hui is as famous as her... And there's the Dong family..."
Chen Pinyun was indifferent when he heard this: "Reputation? Liu Huiru no matter how bad her reputation is, she also carries the flesh and blood of Her Royal Highness in her belly, if you leave the relationship with her at this time and ignore it, Yushitai will not only not let go of this matter, but will be even more embarrassed by you, and His Royal Highness's reputation in the court and even the people will be lost." ”
"When people mention His Highness, they will only say that His Highness is a person who has no responsibility, is ruthless and unrighteous, and refuses to even admit his own bloodline, who else in the court will dare to sincerely assist you at that time?"
Xiao Xianhong's face was ugly when he heard this: "But ......"
"No, but. ”
Chen Pinyun looked at Xiao Xianhong: "Your Highness, don't forget, you are a victim of this matter, you and Liu Huiru are both victims, so there will be an accident that day and the child in her womb, Your Highness welcomed Liu Huiru into the house regardless of previous suspicions, who dares to say that Your Highness is not half a sentence because of this?"
"As for the Dong family, if His Royal Highness likes Liu Huiru's child, he will keep it, and after the Liu family girl gives birth, he will record it in the name of the Dong family, so that she can have a dependency in the future, if she doesn't like it, think of a way to send it to the next life..."
"I think that in His Highness's mansion, there should be no shortage of that concubine. ”
After Xiao Xianhong listened to Chen Pinyun's words, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, but that hesitation only appeared for a moment, and it was replaced by the ambition to completely contain the Liu family.
It's just a child, and there will be more in the future, as long as he can get the throne, he will give up everything, let alone just a child who was accidentally obtained because of conspiracy and calculation.
Xiao Xianhong lowered his eyes slightly, covering the yin owl in his eyes.
Chen Pinyun knew Xiao Xianhong best, and knew that although he didn't speak, his current appearance was that he had acquiesced to what he just said.
Chen Pinyun leaned on the soft rest behind him, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Actually, the affairs of the Liu family are nothing, as long as you know their minds, it is not too difficult to deal with them, but I am more worried about another person now." ”
"Who?" Xiao Xianhong looked up.
"Feng Qizhou. ”
Xiao Xianhong looked at Chen Pinyun puzzled, and saw that his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was very difficult to understand and had some doubts.
"What happened to Liu Huiru that day was too strange, and the Liu family must be inextricably involved, but there may not be no one else involved. ”
"Liu Xiangcheng is very deep, even if he really wants to use Liu Huiru to do something, or use this matter to deal with His Highness, he will never play with his own reputation, let alone drag the entire Liu family into the water. ”
