385 Chen An

In that situation last night, the emperor was furious, and the four gates were heavily guarded, and he wanted to pass the message out of the palace at that time, at least he was a person who could freely enter and leave the palace, otherwise in that case, I was afraid that he would not even be able to get out of the palace gate, and how could he send the news out before the people in the palace arrived at the Xiangwang Mansion?

What's more, the Dragon Terrace is heavily guarded, and no one can leave half a step, how did the news get out?

Zuo Yue listened to Feng Qiao's question, shook his head and said: "We are still investigating this matter, King Xiang is used to being cautious, the people in his mansion who can get close to him are all the people he has cultivated for many years, ordinary people can't get close to him at all, and our people are just wandering in the outer courtyard in King Xiang's mansion." ”

"Last night's incident, they only found out that the person who sent the news was from the palace, and he was dressed as an internal supervisor in the palace, but they couldn't find out who it was and what it looked like. ”

Feng Qizhou chuckled lightly when he heard this: "It's normal to not be able to find out, doing this kind of thing with your head tied to your belt, if you are not careful and cautious, sweep away the guards, how can you hide in the palace for so long." ”

Feng Qiao asked, "Daddy, who do you think it will be?"

That Emperor Yongzhen is not like a person who can tolerate nails around him, who can leak the news behind his back, so as to design and frame Xiao Minyuan, who can he remove himself?

Feng Qizhou took the pen in his hand and circled it on the dense paper written on the table: "Didn't you just say that last night in Yulongtai, except for a few of our courtiers, Liao Chuxiu, Shao Jin and Princess An Yue, outsiders didn't even get the news, and it was impossible to even get close to that vicinity." ”

"And at that time, there was only one person who could get close to the Dragon Terrace, and could freely enter and leave the palace, and even send the news in the palace at that time. ”

Feng Qiao was stunned, looked at Feng Qizhou's determined eyes, and thought about it for a moment, and then reacted to who he was talking about.

She couldn't help but be surprised: "Daddy is saying, Chen An?"

At that time, several people in Feng Qizhou, including Liao Chuxiu, Shao Jin and Princess An Yue, had no chance to send the news, but the only one who could enter and leave the Yulongtai freely and had the ability to send the news to the Xiangwang Mansion was the great eunuch Chen An.

Chen An is the closest person to Emperor Yongzhen, Emperor Yongzhen trusts him, and he has served the emperor in the palace for so many years, so he naturally has his channels and means, after learning that Emperor Yongzhen is going to order the arrest of Xiao Minyuan, and the people in the palace will be notified in advance, and those who are not blocked by the palace gate are afraid that there are only Chen An's people.

After Feng Qiao understood this, he frowned: "But why is Chen An, why did he frame King Xiang?"

Feng Qiao had always thought that Chen An was Emperor Yongzhen's person.

As early as when Emperor Yongzhen was still the prince, he was his personal attendant, and later accompanied Emperor Yongzhen to seize the throne and become the emperor, Chen An also became the head of the palace eunuchs.

For so many years, Chen An has been serving in front of Emperor Yongzhen, and his loyalty to him is known to everyone, and Emperor Yongzhen has never had the slightest suspicion of Chen An, and relies on him the most.

Because Chen An is the closest person to Emperor Yongzhen, although he is not a call for wind and rain, he also holds great power, and he is no worse than the members of the court, and even those first- and second-grade officials in the court, the prince and noble, when they see him, they will respectfully call Chen Gonggong, and they will never easily offend him when they are idle.

In this case, Chen An should not throw himself at others, and it is impossible to risk spreading the news out of the palace to frame Xiao Minyuan at this time, after all, he is the one who is most familiar with Emperor Yongzhen, and he should understand that Emperor Yongzhen has a temperament that is irritable and suspicious.

If Xiao Minyuan really didn't hold back after getting the news last night, and even forced the palace, although Emperor Yongzhen was angry with Xiao Minyuan, he might not be able to find out that someone sent the news out in advance afterwards, once Emperor Yongzhen knew that the news was spread by Chen An, Emperor Yongzhen would never keep him.

Zuo Yue was also puzzled, and asked on the side: "Then Chen An is now considered to be in power, and he is no worse than the important ministers of the court, why did he suddenly lean towards others?"

Feng Qizhou put down the pen, looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "In this world, if a person can change his code of conduct or even take risks, nine times out of ten it is related to interests, although Chen An is the head of the eunuchs, and he serves in front of the saint, but he always has to plan for the future." ”

"In these dynasties, whenever the old and new emperors alternate, unless they defected to the new emperor during the reign of the old emperor, there were a few eunuchs who served the saints who could survive safely. Chen An is a smart person, although Emperor Yongzhen is still in power, he always has to find a way out for himself. ”

"With his status and identity, what he can value must be the person who he thinks is most likely to be able to sit on the throne in the future and protect him. ”

It's just obvious that the person Chen An values, or the person Chen An wants to show his allegiance, is not Xiao Minyuan, the king of Xiang.

Feng Qiao listened to Feng Qizhou's words, his eyebrows were lightly constricted, and his eyes were a little pensive.

Although Xiao Minyuan is not as powerful as the eldest prince and the fourth prince in the court, he has been crowned king after all, and he is the only royal prince in the entire capital, and he holds some hole cards in his hand, and even collects a large number of courtiers with interests.

Although he is not like the eldest prince and the fourth prince, he has the support of his mother's family, and he has veterans like Li Fengqian and Chen Pinyun behind him to support him, but he has also subdued many people from the Ministry of Officials, Households, and Criminal Department with his means and scheming, and he has a close relationship with Qi Meng, the nephew of General Qi's grandson Renxinwei.

Although Qi Meng and the Qi family have been separated by two generations, everyone knows that the old general Qi attaches great importance to Qi Meng, and the Qi family can agree to let Qi Meng follow Xiao Minyuan, which means that the Qi family also intends to assist him, so there are more people in the army, plus Xiao Minyuan's own scheming, means, city and character, it is far enough to make up for the gap between him and the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

Chen An has been up and down in the palace for so many years, his vision must be more old and spicy than ordinary people, he will not fail to see that Xiao Minyuan has the qualifications to win the throne, and he already has the ability to compete with the eldest prince and the fourth prince for the position of prince.

In this case, even if Chen An does not support Xiao Minyuan, he will definitely not be so obviously against Xiao Minyuan.

In Chen An's position, the most important thing to understand is to call Mingzhe the way to protect himself, even if he really wants to serve someone, he will never do this kind of thing that can obviously make people grasp the handle, he only needs to show favor a little, whether it is the eldest prince, the fourth prince, or Xiao Minyuan, he will definitely treat him as a guest on the throne and win him over with the interests of the sky.
