1. Qin Jian passed by the Yongjiahou Mansion before dinner, and went to Qin Hanzhen's courtyard to show the few pieces of paper written by her and Zhao Mo, and it was terrifying.

He said to Qin Hanzhen with a look of apprehension: "Third sister, I really didn't know that there were so many things hidden behind these people. Originally, I thought that as long as I found out who was with King Ninghua's accomplices, and then found the evidence of King Ninghua, and reported it to the palace, this matter would be solved. Although the matter involves military power, the king of Ninghua has ill intentions, and the marquis of Zhenxi is also a little confused, but after all, nothing has been done, and several respected old marshals are involved, and the emperor will most likely not publicize it, but only beat the king of Ninghua in private. If the king of Ninghua has lost his lord and fief, what kind of green onion is it? Those old commanders may not be able to return to the position of being in charge of the army in the future, but it is not a bad thing to live at home for the elderly from now on. Their children and grandchildren may no longer be able to lead an army like their fathers, but it is not difficult to rely on the prestige of their elders to become an official in the army. In this way, everyone is happy, and the matter can be resolved calmly, so that we don't have to worry about our little aunt and uncle. But when I saw what you wrote, third sister, I suddenly realized that things are probably not that simple. What King Ninghua wanted to do was probably not just to persuade Donggong to succeed his son as his heir. ”

If he just wants to pass his stepson, King Ninghua only needs to work hard in the palace, or buy some royal relatives and important ministers of the court, and let them help persuade the emperor and the crown prince to nod. He didn't have to involve Yun Shuai and Zhenxi Hou at all, and the idea of fighting the army. Could it be that he was planning to use military authority to force the imperial family to make concessions? Didn't he know how much risk it would bring by doing so? It was because of meddling in military power that the Wang family violated the emperor's taboo and made the emperor no longer tolerate it. King Ninghua naturally will not have differential treatment. He knowingly did it, that is, he felt that this practice was necessary. It can be seen that he has already considered that his goal may not be achieved in a peaceful way, so he will use force to assist. Having this kind of thinking is already a big rebellion.

Qin Jian said: "Look at what you wrote on this paper, how terrible King Ninghua's idea is! He wooed Yun Shuai's side, and then put on the idea of Zhenxi Hou. If Zhenxi Hou returns to the southwest after recovering from his old illness, it goes without saying that he will definitely take over the defense of Shudi. In case King Ninghua and the Shu Wangfu really colluded, then he could directly use the Zhenxi Hou to get the property hidden in Shu by the Shu Wangfu, or accept the hidden hands of the Shu Wangfu! If the Zhenxi Hou father and son both stayed in Beijing, they would either be arranged to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, or the city guard or the Imperial Forest Army, plus the military power of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing held by Yun Shuai, King Ninghua might really have the strength to force the palace! This is only what we know, as for the people in the army that we don't know yet, whether there are still people who collude with him, who can say for sure?! If he is really asked to get the military power of the Imperial Forest Army, the city guard, and the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the throne may be replaced, and what is there to talk about?!"

Qin Hanzhen saw that his cousin seemed to be a little panicked, and hurriedly reassured him: "Big brother, don't worry, the matter is not as serious as you said." First of all, King Ninghua hasn't done anything, at most he just thinks about it. The people he wants to win over have not yet been wooed. Secondly, Cousin Zhao has already said that he wants to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the matter. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken precautions, what do you think King Ninghua can do? Even if he really wants to succeed, he doesn't have to choose his son, and once the matter of the emperor's heir is accurate, King Ninghua's plan has come to naught, whether it is the Yun family or the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, no one is a fool, and he will not risk his life to help him for the sake of nothing that has any hope of success. ”

Qin Jian took a few deep breaths, slowly calmed himself down, and said after a long while, "It's impossible for King Ninghua to have nothing to do. I doubt it...... He may have been in contact with Zhenxihou for a long time. It has only been more than a month since the Marquis of Zhenxi returned to Beijing, even if he has more complaints in his heart, and wants to return to the southwest army, there is no reason for him to suddenly turn his back on him after being loyal to the emperor and the court for decades, and plan to be a rebellious minister and thief with King Ninghua. In the final analysis, the emperor only rewarded him for his grace and let him return to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries, and neither said that he would never let him go back to the southwest, nor did he say that his children and grandchildren would be idle from now on. Besides, his return to Beijing was begged by Mrs. Zhenxi Hou, and he had no reason to complain to the emperor. But looking at his resentful appearance now, it really makes people can't understand that this is not like what he has always been. I suspect that he may have misunderstood the emperor a long time ago, so naturally someone must sow discord in his ear. In addition, after he recovers from his old wounds, no one can say whether he will be able to serve in the army. Maybe the emperor will give him honor? Just a sentence of old age or old injuries can suppress him. If the emperor has grace, who would dare to say that it is wrong? If the king of Ninghua is really good at the sky, he can decide who will be in charge of the three armies in Beijing, and he will not have to be a small county king in Gannan all the time. Therefore, if he really had any agreement with the Shu Wangfu earlier, it would not be a strange thing for him to contact Zhenxi Hou in private. He just didn't expect that Zhenxi Hou would suddenly be recalled to the capital. ”

Qin Hanzhen frowned. She hadn't thought about this possibility before, after all, she didn't know much about Zhenxihou. However, Qin Jian's long house and Zhenxi Hou Mansion are in-laws, even if the little aunt Qin Youyi returns to her parents' house less often, the in-law relationship still exists, and the etiquette and personnel movement between the two families have never been broken. As Qin Youyi's own nephew, it is even more common for Qin Jian to visit his uncle and aunt. He definitely knows much more about the situation of Zhenxi Hou's Mansion and the character of Zhenxi Hou than her.

Qin Hanzhen said to Qin Jian: "This matter is just your own speculation, big brother, and it may not be done accurately." Let's not panic ourselves. Anyway, most of the East Palace already knew the truth at this time, and what happened to the Zhenxi Hou Mansion in the future depended on the creation of the Zhenxi Hou. The little aunt and uncle are completely unaware, and they should not fall into a desperate situation. First, the Marquis of Zhenxi has made great contributions to the court in the past, and secondly, the little aunt is the niece and nephew of the queen's mother, and she is completely innocent, and the emperor does not look at the monk's face but also the Buddha's face. Moreover, if our Qin family has made greater contributions in this matter, when the emperor wants to dispose of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion in the future, we will also have more confidence to intercede for the little aunt's family. So, now is not the time to be afraid. Big brother, you are the oldest brother of our generation, you have to stabilize and come up with an idea. ”

Qin Jian took a few deep breaths and said, "You're right, you can't panic now. I want to think about it......" he gritted his teeth, "The crown prince will be wary of King Ninghua, then I will think about doing something somewhere else!" Yun Shuai ...... I've heard he's the best guy ever. In the last years of the first emperor, the princes competed for the throne, and the emperor who was still the prince at that time was suddenly confined, Yun Shuai was already a famous general in the army at that time, but he was able to rush out of Beijing before the emperor's accident, and he never participated in the chaos of the prince's succession after the emperor ascended the throne, and he immediately rushed back to congratulate him. In decades, he never had a problem. With his personality, will he be willing to be at the mercy of the Wang family just because his two grandsons were born to the daughters of the Wang family? Hmph, now that there is no old precedent of leaving a mother and a son in a high-ranking family! I will think of a way to start from Yun Shuai. As long as Yun Shuai is not moved by King Ninghua, what kind of climate can a Zhenxi Hou Mansion become?"

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "This idea is good, it's just ...... How are you going to start with Yun Shuai? Do you know the people of his family? I think you have a lot of friends in the circle of the clan and the royal family, should you consider thinking of a way to get rid of them? For example, ruining the reputation of King Ninghua, or provoking the friendship of their brothers, or something......

Qin Jian said: "King Ninghua doesn't rely on his reputation to make trouble, and Zhao Hao is not on good terms with him, what role can he play in sowing discord? King Guangchang is also the younger brother of King Ninghua, where can a few words of provocation come in handy? Yun Shuai's youngest son is a few years older than me, and my friends and I followed him when we were young, telling him to take him everywhere to play. I heard that his wife was pregnant again recently, and I found an excuse to visit him, but I may not be able to persuade him not to act rashly. ”

Qin Hanzhen thought of Concubine Hui, thinking that Qin Jian didn't know her problem, she opened her mouth to say, and felt that Zhao Mo was clearly hiding from Qin Jian about Concubine Hui today, maybe she had any concerns, and she didn't have any evidence, everything was just an inference, so she didn't say anything. She said to Qin Jian: "Since you have a way to contact the Yun family, then try everything." At the little aunt's place, the eldest brother can also find a way to test it and see if there is any change in Zhenxihou these days. Regardless of whether he has turned his back on the emperor or not, he will not be able to take up any real position for a day if his old injury is not healed, so his current priority is to recover from his injury first. However, it is possible that the prince of Zhenxi Hou will be placed in an official position, of course, he is younger, his rank will be lower than his father, and the power he can hold will be relatively small. Let's be more vigilant. ”

Qin Jian nodded solemnly, only feeling that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. It is a matter of Jiangshan Sheji, since he is aware of the crisis, he naturally has an unshirkable responsibility. Although he had no position or power, and was young and weak, the ancestors of the Qin family were the heroes who had made great contributions to the founding of the country, and they were also deeply favored by the emperor, and there were rebellious ministers and thieves who wanted to cause trouble to the dynasty and subvert the royal family, so how could he retreat because of fear? The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. What's more, he's a reader!

Qin Jian held his head high and left with courage and ambition. Qin Hanzhen added some of the content that Qin Jian had just told him to those forms, and after reading it twice, he only felt a little nervous in his heart.

She carefully took the stack of paper into a brocade bag, put it in a lockable red sandalwood box, solemnly locked it, and then stuffed it into the lowest drawer of Jingxi, and locked it again. She also collected these two keys separately, double insurance, presumably nothing went wrong.

But after doing these things, she also instructed her two big girls, Feng'er and Baiqiao, to tell them not to allow anyone to touch the things in the box. In the future, even the girls and mothers-in-law who come in and out of her room must strictly set the rules, what level and status of people can enter the house, and who cannot. The girl in the yard was saved from relying on Qin Han's good nature, and she also became frivolous, and drilled into the master's house at will without rules.

The next day, Zhao Mo didn't come over. Qin Hanzhen didn't know if he had already reported the matter to the prince, let alone how the prince reacted. She just suppressed the restlessness in her heart, began to conceive the "Temple Fair Map", painted it, and concentrated.

On the third day, news came from the long room that Qin Jian went to the Yun family to "visit friends". Qin Hanzhen knew that he was about to start taking action, and he didn't know what the effect would be, but he hoped that nothing would go wrong.

On the afternoon of this day, Zhao Mo came over.
