Chapter 135: Intent

Qin Han was really confused.

Zhao Mo was originally the king of Suning County, and he has been the king for nearly four years, is there anything special about this identity? There are more kings of the clan, and there are several who were awarded the title in the same year as Zhao Mo. In order to be knighted, Zhao Mo specially chose such a small place as Suning, which was also close to the capital and convenient for correspondence with the Qin family.

But what does this have to do with King Ninghua's calculation of Zhao Mo's marriage?

But...... Listening to Zhao Mo's tone, it seems that there is something special about this place in Suning that can attract the attention of King Ninghua?

Qin Hanzhen saw Zhao Mo smiling and silent, obviously selling Guanzi again, and couldn't bother to roll his eyes, turned around and went to find the stack of forms she wrote in Qianwei Ju that day, turned to the back of Zhao Shuo's one, analyzed Zhao Mo's advantages here, and showed all the benefits of this fiefdom in Suning County.

Then she asked with some hesitation, "Suning...... Is there anything special about it? I think it has the biggest advantage compared to Ninghua and Guangchang, that is, the proximity to Beijing. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "Isn't it close to the capital? It can be reached in one day, although the place is smaller, but it is not rich, it is not visible, there are a few people hidden in it, who will be suspicious?" he raised his eyebrows and smiled a little sarcastically, "I heard that the King of Jin and the Princess of Jin raised a lot of people in private, and they were specially used to do some shady things, and they were all placed in the private property of Princess Jin." Later, the truth of the attack on King Qin was revealed, and the mother and son of Princess Jin were all questioned, and the secrets in these granges could not be kept. Although King Ninghua was not born to Princess Jin, he was also her son. It's not surprising that I've learned a few tricks over the years. ”

Qin Hanzhen remembered it, remembered that there was such a Zhuangzi in Linxian County, I heard that it was quite big, and He Ziyu, the elder brother of the He family, was originally working on this Zhuangzi, although he left later, but the relationship is still there. When He killed Guan and was detained at home by his in-laws, He Ziyu specially ran to this Zhuangzi and invited the Jin princess who was temporarily living in Zhuangzi to save He, which also exposed the existence of these manpower and made the officials who came to investigate the attack on King Qin suspicious. In order to keep the secret, Princess Jin could only choose to extinguish her mouth, but because she extinguished her mouth too quickly, the officials investigating the case became more and more suspicious, and found out the truth of the case step by step, which also led to the failure of Princess Jin's mother and son.

The Zhuangzi in Linxian County not only provided the princess of Jin with financial income and gave her some things that she didn't want outsiders to know, but it was also a place to accommodate people. Some of the people who are responsible for doing secret tasks that are not visible, and some people who originally have official identities, but need to secretly do some shady things, can only temporarily live in the village to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid the limelight, just like the group of officers and soldiers who He Ziyu invited to disguise themselves as horse thieves and rescue the He family.

The group of people participated in the attack on the King of Qin because of their disguises, but the operation failed, so that the King of Qin and the court did not find out their true identities, so they had to hide in Zhuangzi. thought that no one would find out about their existence, but it turned out that he was just slacking off for a while, and he was instructed by He Ziyu to do some "little things", and he buried his life.

It is rumored that in places like Zhuangzi in Linxian County, there are several places for the princess of Jin, and they were all copied after the defeat. Qin Han really couldn't figure it out, what was the use of spending so much manpower, money, and material resources to maintain those few Zhuangzi and raise so many shady manpower? Could it be that she and her son Zhao Cheng had already done it countless times in private for such a thing as attacking the King of Qin? She just wanted her son to recognize someone else as her father's mother, and she just wanted her son to recognize someone else as her father and mother, and she just wanted to work hard in the capital, what did she do with such a big battle?

Qin Hanzhen didn't find out what benefits this kind of Zhuangzi could bring to the princess Guan of Jin and her son Zhao Jie, and he didn't know what big things they had done with this kind of Zhuangzi's manpower, but he didn't expect that King Ninghua would still attach importance to it, and he planned to follow his mother's style when he was alive?

She hurriedly said to Zhao Mo: "In this way, Cousin Zhao has already found out what King Ninghua plans to do in Suning? Has he already placed Zhuangzi in Suning County? This is not a joke." Cousin Zhao, you must not let him succeed! Suning is your fiefdom, if you let other county kings use that kind of Zhuangzi to do something bad, and the emperor and the crown prince know that it happened in your fiefdom, even if you are innocent, you will inevitably be accused of negligence. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "Can I still not understand this truth? In the past few days, I have returned to Suning and found a lot of news. Hmph, in fact, although Suning is close to the capital, it is also nearly 400 miles away, compared to the counties of Gyeonggi, it is actually not the most ideal place. However, the counties of Gyeonggi are too close to the capital, almost under the emperor's nose, and there are often sergeants from the three major battalions on the outskirts of Beijing, in case the stuffing is exposed, it will be troublesome. Therefore, King Ninghua had no choice but to choose to buy a grange a little farther away, which was more conducive to him to cover up his conspiracy. ”

Qin Hanzhen asked: "So, he didn't originally fancy Suning?" Compared with the counties of Gyeonggi, Suning is a little farther away from the capital, but there are other things closer than it, Hejian, Gaoyang, Anzhou, Yongqing...... Qin Hanzhen thought of the youngest son of the King of Shu again, he seemed to have wanted to ask Yongqing County to be a feudal land, right?

Zhao Mo nodded and said: "Originally, King Ninghua placed a Zhuangzi in Gaoyang County, the place is quite large, but the land is not fertile, and the location is still a little off, but it is only more than three hundred miles away from the capital, and it is not far from Baoding City, so it is quite convenient to supply and inquire about the news, and it does not cost much silver." Zhuangzi is recorded in the name of the Liang family, the concubine of the king of Jin, and the person in charge is still the old man brought out by their mother and son from the original Jin palace. However, although this man has some talents, he has a lustful problem. Last year, he provoked a woman who shouldn't be messed with, and asked the husband of the family to sue the government. The prefect of Baoding wanted to take him to ask for the crime, but his concubine blurted out that his master was the prince, which made this Zhuangzi have to turn from dark to light. If King Ninghua still wants to use Zhuangzi to do something shady, he can only move the place. ”

Qin Hanzhen never imagined that there would be such a play! So, what is the use of setting aside such a disgraceful Zhuangzi? The Zhuangzi of the princess of Jin was so implicated that all the conspiracies were exposed because the old steward He Ziyu borrowed someone to save his sister He who did not do good deeds. Now the Zhuangzi of King Ninghua has been exposed to the public because the people in charge have provoked romantic debts. If he doesn't even find enough reliable people to take care of his own property, then he should stop engaging in any conspiracy, and sooner or later there will be no good results!

It was precisely because of the problem with Zhuangzi in Gaoyang County that King Ninghua had no choice but to hit Suning with his idea. Suning County is adjacent to Gaoyang County, and his original Zhuangzi is very close to the junction of the two counties, so if he can find a suitable Zhuangzi in Suning County nearby, it will be much more convenient to transfer his belongings to the past. Suning County is not far from the capital, and it is also the fief of another county king, this county king, that is, Zhao Mo, is extremely favored by the royal family. Even if one day, the imperial court suspects that King Ninghua has a problem, it will not find out Zhao Mo's fiefdom, which is equivalent to letting another innocent county king cover for King Ninghua to him, and his wishful thinking is extremely loud.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but spit out: "This person's abacus is too fine, but he is also too self-righteous. Who does he think he is? Who does he think you are? Suning is such a big place, and you still investigate the land situation in the fiefdom everywhere every day in order to deal with the saline-alkali land, and ask people to repair roads and bridges. Based on your knowledge of your fiefdom, if a Zhuangzi of unknown origin suddenly appears and there are many suspicious people living in it, how can you not know about it? When the time comes, the entire county will be your territory, and it will not be so easy for him to fool the past. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "Because of this, he wants to calculate my marriage through my father." He probably thought that if I married the granddaughter of his accomplices, I would be with them. Even if I don't know about it, or refuse to cooperate after knowing it, I can't get rid of them just by virtue of my in-law relationship with the Zhenxi Hou Mansion. However, he probably wouldn't openly threaten me with these things until he had to. After all, I can help them more than containing his secret men. ”

Qin Hanzhen was puzzled: "What else can you do to help them?" This is simply getting more and more excessive. What do you have to do with them? How can they have the face to calculate you again and again?!"

Zhao Mo smiled and comforted Qin Hanzhen: "Cousin Qin, don't be angry, now that we all know the truth, naturally we won't be fooled again, you just have to rest assured." ”

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and insisted on asking, "What else does King Ninghua plan to ask you to do for him?"

Zhao Mo looked at her and knew that she had to ask what was going on anyway, so he had to stop selling Guan Zi and replied honestly: "It's nothing." You also know that I, the king of the county, have only been sealed for a few years, and it took me a lot of work just to build the palace and do land experiments. Next, I should think about the royal guards. Although I also have personal guards now, I am only two or three hundred people when I am full, and the guards of the palace are barely enough, and when I go out, I can't compare to the majesty of other county kings. But I'm not good at pomp, and I've never done anything to bully men and women, and my reputation in the fiefdom has always been excellent, and there are fewer guards, and it doesn't hurt the overall situation. Therefore, when selecting people for my personal guards, I must choose people with good character and skills, and I would rather lack them than abuse them. But in the past few days when I have been in Beijing, I have been to see my father several times, and he has asked me about my personal guards and people almost every time, and told me to follow the practice of the clan, not to appear too special and alone, since I have been crowned king, I must prepare for it......"

Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows: "Your father wants you to expand your personal guards, why? He has someone to put in you?"

Zhao Mo smiled and shook his head: "It's not him, it's King Ninghua." "King Ninghua wants to borrow the establishment of the personal guards of Zhao Mojun's palace to hide his own manpower. In this way, in the name of the Suning Royal Mansion Guards, if these people quietly approach the capital, what are they going to do, it is estimated that the emperor and the crown prince will not be suspicious, right?

After Qin Hanzhen wanted to understand this, he suddenly gasped: "How many people are there in the royal palace of the clan that your father said according to the usual practice?" I remember...... There are 3,000 to 9,000, right? It seems that the county kings of this dynasty are almost all 35,000 treatment. How many people does King Ninghua want to install in you? There shouldn't be a few thousand? Even if it's only a thousand, it's scary enough! What the hell does he want to do? Do you want to rebel?
