Chapter 149: Follow-up
Qin Hanzhen was really shocked when he heard at home that Zhenxi Hou vomited blood.
She hurriedly asked Qin Jian, who came to deliver the letter: "Is it because you calculated your little uncle and let him destroy the alliance between Zhenxi Hou and King Ninghua, that Zhenxi Hou will vomit blood?"
Qin Jian smiled: "That's not it. Listening to the little aunt's companion room, it seemed that Guanglu's father came to the door and said something unpleasant, Zhenxi Hou Shizi drove people out of the door in a fit of anger, and made it clear to Zhenxi Hou that he would never agree to Guanglu's marriage, and let Zhenxi Hou recuperate at home with peace of mind in the future, and don't worry about the affairs of his children and grandchildren anymore, Zhenxi Hou was so angry that he vomited blood. However, now everyone outside only says that Zhenxi Hou is guilty of an old disease, and most people who have heard of the idea between Miss Su and King Guangchang will probably suspect that Zhenxi Hou was so angry that he vomited blood because of his eldest granddaughter's unruliness, but few people suspected it on the head of Zhenxi Hou Shizi. ”
Qin Hanzhen only felt that it was difficult to explain: "What did the prince of Liao say when he came to the door? What does this have to do with him? Didn't Cousin Zhao refuse the marriage a long time ago? Could it be that the prince of Liao still insists on fulfilling his agreement with the Marquis of Zhenxi?"
Qin Jian said: "Of course not, if Guanglu's father didn't dispel the idea of marriage, what would the prince of Zhenxi Hou have to be angry about? Of course, because he said that the marriage contract would be stopped, he might have buried a few words about Miss Su." After all, this matter is so big, no matter how selfish Guanglu's father is, it is impossible to insist on the marriage of Guanglu. Otherwise, the emperor and the crown prince will blame him, and he will be unlucky first if he can't wait for King Ninghua to gain power. Also, he also said something to ask his little uncle to change his evidence and exonerate King Guangchang. In fact, why did he have to do so much? Is it true that everyone in the world is a fool? King Ninghua himself would not make such a mistake, and one of his cousins actively jumped up and down, as if he was afraid that the emperor would not know that he had a close relationship with King Ninghua's brothers. ”
Qin Hanzhen didn't know how to evaluate Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Shuo. It turns out that he will not only drag Zhao Mo back, no matter who he stands on the same position with, he will be a pig teammate. Thinking about it this way, Zhao Mo chose to stand on the opposite side of him in a timely and decisive manner and no longer help him with advice, which is really wise.
She asked Qin Jian: "But what is the reaction of knowing what King Ninghua did after knowing what the prince of Liao did?"
Qin Jian shook his head: "I really don't know about this." However, King Ninghua is now busy fishing his younger brother King Guangchang out of the Zongren Mansion, where can he pay attention to what Guanglu's father has done?
Judging from the bright side, King Guangchang was almost trapped into the Zongren Mansion by the second son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, and King Ninghua has always favored his younger brother, how could he not complain in his heart? Even if he knew that Su Zhongying did not know the covenant between the two families, there was also the antecedent reason for King Guangchang to deceive the eldest girl of Su first, but people's feelings are not always rational. King Ninghua looked at his precious brother who was injured and broke his leg, thinking that the emperor had not yet lost his anger on their brothers, and he didn't know how to punish them next, so he couldn't forgive Su Zhongying, and he also had a grudge against Zhenxi Hou and his son Su Boxiong. He didn't think about how much responsibility his younger brother needed to bear for the whole thing, he would only feel that Su Zhongying ruined everything. What else does he need this ally for?
Even if he can hold back the resentment in his heart, endure the humiliation, and continue to make friends with the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, but with the past of King Guangchang seducing Miss Su, the Zhenxi Hou father and son have a pimple in their hearts, and I am afraid they will not be willing to form an alliance with him as before. For King Ninghua, the Zhenxi Hou Mansion has become a waste of chess, so he naturally won't be in the mood to discuss any follow-up with this former ally, isn't it cold?
All of King Ninghua's plans had to be suddenly stopped because of this incident, and how to deal with the aftermath after that was a big trouble. If this matter is not handled well, he will not want to pass his son to the royal family. And if his reputation is affected by this matter, even if he still has a lot of manpower, it is impossible to deter all the royal family and civil and military officials, so that they will not oppose him or his son to the throne. Originally, he was still able to make some ideas about military power, but now, the hope of the Hou of Zhenxi has been broken, and the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion has formed a grudge, and it is impossible to agree to marry again. There is one Yun Shuai left, who is the most well-behaved, will he really take the risk to stand on the side of King Ninghua because the daughter of the Wang family gave birth to two children to the Yun family?
King Ninghua is now in trouble, and he still has some meaning that he can't protect himself, but he can't leave his younger brother alone, so he is still begging the emperor to be merciful and lenient to King Guangchang. While he had to find a doctor to treat his brother's injuries, he had to ask the elders in the clan to intercede for his younger brother, and at the same time, he had to revise some plans to deal with the predicament he would encounter after losing the ally of Zhenxi Houfu, so he was so busy that he was so busy. He doesn't even have time to take revenge for the time being, and he can't blindly pursue Su Zhongying, driving people to a dead end, which will annoy Zhenxi Hou's father and son to leak their secrets. On Yunyang Hou's side, he didn't dare to provoke it, so he could only explain that the matter was a complete misunderstanding, so that Yunyang Hou would not be hostile to him because of this.
He was so hard, but Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Now it seems that the crisis in Zhenxi Hou's Mansion should have been resolved, although Zhenxi Hou was so angry that he vomited blood, and Miss Su's reputation was also affected, but compared to becoming a great rebel sinner and being beheaded by the whole family, this price is nothing at all. The former already has injuries and illnesses, and it can be treated slowly, and the latter can marry outside the capital. Hou Shizi of Zhenxi decisively abandoned his father's proposition and chose the right path, coupled with Su Zhongying's bad news about King Ninghua, the suspicion of their brother's disobedience suddenly disappeared, and presumably his career in the future will gradually become smoother. Even if you can't get back the military power in the southwest, you are not afraid that you will not find a good messenger.
However, Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian are optimistic about the prospects of Zhenxi Hou's Mansion, which does not mean that Zhenxi Hou himself thinks so. He seems to have been hit by a huge blow, perhaps because the eldest son, who has always been obedient to him, has openly disobeyed his wishes, and the younger son looks well-behaved and obedient, but he has caused the greatest disaster, and he is now even in his own home, and can no longer be the master of the house, only one wife is willing to listen to him, but the wife can not be the master of outside things, so she can only let the eldest son take over the power of the family. How could he not be angry and sad when he saw that he could only lie in bed and recuperate, and that he could not do anything?
Zhenxihou's condition seemed to be getting worse, and even the palace got the news, and the emperor specially sent the imperial doctor to Zhenxihou's mansion to see him. Moreover, I don't know if it was for the sake of calming the heart of Zhenxi Marquis, the emperor gave the envoy of Su Boxiong, the son of Zhenxi Marquis, in advance, and asked him to go to the city guard army to do a four-grade command service. The rank of an officer who is not up or down is appropriate, which is in line with Su Boxiong's qualifications, and it sounds decent, but he does not have the right to be in charge of the army independently. Moreover, the city guards are still the world of Yunyang Hou, and Su Boxiong can't turn the sky at all, it's just empty arrogance. This is a bit far from the position that Zhenxi Hou originally hoped that his eldest son would get.
After Zhenxihou received the will, it was really difficult to say whether he was happy or so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit another mouthful of blood.
Chengenhou Mansion is the in-law of Zhenxi Hou Mansion, Qin Zhonghai and Qin Jian knew what they had done, so after hearing the news of Zhenxi Hou's aggravated condition, they still informed the Xu family and Yao family meaningfully, and asked them to send some medicinal materials and supplements that could be used to Zhenxi Hou Mansion, and then Qin Zhonghai personally went to visit the illness and also found out some news.
The husband and wife of Hou Shizi of Zhenxi never mentioned that they wanted to marry their eldest daughter to Qin Jian. However, Qin Youyi's companions sent some gossip back to the Qin family, and the eldest girl Dao Su was sick, which was not a major symptom, but she was shocked and scared, angry and remorseful, and she was also hit by a huge blow, I am afraid that it is impossible to return to normal without a few months of recuperation, and it has become a luxury to send her back to Shuzhong to avoid the limelight immediately. Now Zhenxi Hou Shizi's wife Bian Shi tried her best to persuade her husband to nod her head and leave her eldest daughter at home to recuperate. In order to avoid having blind subordinates talking nonsense in front of the children, Bian still dragged his weak body, and reached an agreement with his younger sister Qin Youyi to participate in the house, which greatly improved the daily treatment and living environment of the eldest daughter.
She had already discussed with Hou Shizi of Zhenxi, and when the weather was warmer and Miss Su's illness was cured, she would send her eldest daughter to her father in Wuchang. Although there is a Liang family in Wuchang, he is protected by his maternal grandfather, who is the governor, and he is not afraid that anyone will dare to upset Miss Su. Similarly, with the support of this grandfather, it is not difficult for Miss Su to marry an excellent son from a good family. Bian actually wanted to send the eldest daughter back to her mother's house in Shuzhong, after all, it was the place where their mother and daughter had lived for many years, so they were more familiar, but thinking that her mother's family was now the eldest sister-in-law Liang's family, but Liang had a move to conceal the identity of King Guangchang, coupled with her husband Su Boxiong's hint, Bian finally chose his father's appointment.
She had already written a letter to her family, which was sent to Wuchang by Su Boxiong. Her father will send cronies to pick up people when the time comes, and he is not afraid that the eldest daughter will make any mistakes along the way.
The Zhenxi Hou Mansion had quickly adjusted itself and gradually got rid of the adverse effects caused by the beating of King Guangchang. However, the impact on the Ninghua Royal Mansion is obviously not so easy to solve.
After the celebration of the second dragon in February, the emperor seemed to finally have the leisure to take care of the troublesome brothers, he straightforwardly dismissed the prince of Guangchang King Zhao Zhu, and demoted him to the general of the Zhenguo, and the fiefdom of Guangchang County was naturally regained to the imperial court, and the belongings in his palace had to be cleaned up, and many things had to be given up. Personal belongings or something, how much can be kept, it depends on Zhao Zhu's luck, and whether his biological mother, Concubine Liang Fang, is powerful. Because Zhao Zhuang is now injured and should not move, the emperor ordered the subordinate officials of the former Guangchang Mansion to help Zhao Zhuang pack his luggage and transfer back to the capital as soon as possible, which is of course not as good as him to clean up.
That's right, because of the loss of the fief and the inconvenience of Zhao Ma's mobility, he needs to return to the capital to settle down, and in the future, he will be like an ordinary sect disciple in the capital, subject to the control of the Zongren Mansion day and night, and his movement is restricted, and without the emperor's will, he can't even go out of the capital.
King Ninghua not only lost his younger brother's fief and lost a lot of financial support, but also faced the situation that his younger brother might have to stay in the capital for a long time and become a hostage to contain him. That's not all, he himself was punished by the emperor for not reporting it. The emperor fined him three years, and then ordered him to return to the fiefdom as soon as possible.
The deadline for departure is at the end of February.
