After eating breakfast, Qin Bai had completely lost his breath.

If you don't lose your anger, when you are having breakfast, your granddaughter Qin Han really seems to have forgotten what it means to "eat without words", and has been singing and saying witty things with Zhao Mo, and patting his ass loudly, which makes him very happy in his heart. Even if he once thought that Zhao Mo was too negligent and that Qin Han really shouldn't be so curious, now he no longer thinks that it is a big problem, but instead regards it as a harmless cute little temperament of juniors.

Looking at the expression on his face, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quietly glanced at each other, and couldn't help but snicker. They seem to have always had a tacit understanding in coaxing Qin Bai.

Since Qin Bai is no longer entangled in the matter of the two juniors privately passing information, then their topic will return to business.

Zhenxihou suddenly suffered a stroke, which really surprised everyone. Qin Bai and Zhao Mo are also paying attention to this matter now. They began to discuss what impact this change would have on the situation that they thought had been settled, and the first thing they were worried about was whether the emperor would be dissatisfied with the rest of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion because of this, so that Su Zhongying and Qin Youyi would be implicated in the couple.

Qin Bai has his own opinion on this: "The emperor shouldn't be too angry. If Zhenxihou had a stroke, it was really intentional by the Su family, it was probably just to save Zhenxihou's life. As long as it has nothing to do with the overall situation, the emperor will appreciate courtiers more with affection and righteousness. ”

The emperor originally planned to secretly interrogate the Marquis of Zhenxi, confirm his guilt, and then give people to death, but now that the Marquis of Zhenxi has suffered a stroke, it is not good to continue the original plan. If Zhenxihou is not seriously ill, it is very likely that he will not be able to escape. But if he is already so sick that he doesn't know what to do, or if he can't move, the emperor is very likely to look at the old minister's face and let him walk decently, and he will die of illness naturally. If Zhenxihou is lucky, he may be able to live for many more years in the state of stroke, but if he is not lucky, it is unknown when he will die of illness. Moreover, if he died of illness normally, he would not need to consider concealing the truth from the outside world, but on the other hand, Zhenxi Hou could be regarded as taking advantage.

But as long as the Marquis of Zhenxi can't escape the responsibility and suffers from illness before he dies, the emperor should not be too angry. The Su family's idea of wanting to save Zhenxihou's life is understandable, and if the Su family brothers have something to do with it, it is also out of filial piety. The prince of Shu confessed his father and younger brother, preserved his wealth with their lives, and also won the freedom of his family, which was certainly a wise choice in the eyes of outsiders, and the emperor also rewarded him for his loyalty to the imperial court. But considering that he betrayed his closest relatives, deep down, the emperor actually didn't like him too much, but he didn't show it in front of outsiders. Qin Bai could often meet and talk with the emperor, but he understood what the emperor was thinking.

Qin Bai thought so, he was soft-hearted. However, Zhao Mo had another idea: "The stroke is not bad, the old man has reached the age of Zhenxi Hou, and he has accumulated a lot of old problems in his early years, and everyone knows that he is not in good health, and after the stroke, he gradually became seriously ill and died, no one will be suspicious, but it is easier to win the trust of people than the emperor's original plan." And if the son of the Su family returns to Shu to take charge of the military power in the southwest on the grounds that his father had a stroke, it will be more logical. The son of the Su family can pretend to be on the pretext that he was ordered by his father, but after the stroke of Xihou in Zhenzhen, he was once endangered, and he realized at the moment of life and death, put aside some obsessions in the past, and also recognized his mistakes, and had the heart to repent of his sins, so he sent his eldest son back to the army to make up for his mistakes. In this way, those soldiers in the Southwest Army who still have respect for Zhenxi Hou will not deliberately embarrass Su Shizi because his political views are different from his father's. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at Zhao Mo wordlessly, and then looked at his grandfather Qin Bai, feeling in his heart that not everyone can be successful in the court. Compared with his grandfather Qin Bai's slightly naïve idea, Zhao Mo's idea is undoubtedly more practical and practical.

Qin Bai calmly affirmed the feasibility of Zhao Mo's suggestion and asked him to enter the palace as soon as possible to make a statement to the emperor. If things go well, he can still get a piece of advice.

Zhao Mo was taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Uncle and grandpa went to say, it's the same, the emperor knows that your idea is good, and he must be happy." ”

Qin Bai waved his hand: "What do I want this credit for? The future of your young people is even more important." You are in a difficult situation now, if the emperor can treat you more seriously, you can also relax in the future. At the very least, the title you deserve won't be snatched away by others. ”

Zhao Mo pursed his lips and did not speak.

Qin Han was really a little surprised: "What's the matter, what's the matter? Does anyone want to rob Cousin Zhao's title? Now there is still someone who can rob him? Why is it? There are so many county titles in the world, and Suning is not such a rich place, what are others robbing from Cousin Zhao? If you have the ability, you can go to the Zongren Mansion by yourself and ask for a seal!"

Zhao Mo smiled at her: "My cousin misunderstood, what is there to grab the title of the king of Suning County? Uncle and grandfather are talking about the inheritance of the Liao Wangfu." My father was originally the son of the King of Liao, but now he is ...... His position is not very precarious. The King of Liao and the princess heard that he was involved in the rebellion of the king of Ninghua, and they were thinking about abolishing his position as the son of the world and appointing the second or third uncle as the son. ”

It turned out to be the family in Liaodong. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Are they embarrassed? Your second uncle and third uncle have also committed crimes in the past, and your second uncle has also been in the prison of the Zongren Mansion, so he is not necessarily much more innocent than your father." Even if the emperor really abolishes your father's throne, it will not be the turn of two children of the clan with bad records to be the sons of the Liao kings? Either let you, the real grandson, inherit it, or ...... Forget about taking back the fiefdom, everyone doesn't have to rob it. It's good for you to be a county king anyway, you can live a very comfortable life, and you can still be the master of your own house, and you can't look at other people's faces. ”

Zhao Mo couldn't help laughing: "Cousin's words are reasonable. It's not uncommon for me to do anything about the sons and grandsons of the Liao Wang, but there has been a move in Liaodong, and there has been a movement in the corresponding Liao Wangfu in Beijing. I'm living in the Liao King's Mansion now, and I just feel a little annoyed. ”

Qin Hanzhen persuaded him: "It's better for you to buy another house in Beijing, and it will save you from going back to the capital in the future, and you have to go to live in someone else's house, and you have to watch out for people when you eat and sleep every day." ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "I have this heart, but I can't find a satisfactory house for a while." Besides, I don't know when I have to go back to the fiefdom, even if the capital is officially opened, I can't live for a few days, it seems to be a bit of a waste, and it will take effort to arrange someone to watch the house be cleaned, not to mention the purchase of a house that can be used as the county king's mansion, and the silver is by no means a few. ”

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "Of course I didn't ask you to find a big mansion to be the county king's mansion, just get a small mansion with two or three entrances, clean it up, and be your place to stay in the capital, you can live with peace of mind." It's a little smaller, so it's not too much trouble to clean, but it's always your own place. Wouldn't it be much more convenient for you to send people to Beijing to deliver letters or do anything in the future, and also have a stable place to live, than if you originally wanted to borrow the Liao Palace?"

Zhao Mo doesn't have no real estate in the capital, it's just not suitable for long-term stay. Now Qin Hanzhen gave him advice, he liked it very much, and even asked Qin Hanzhen's opinion on the spot: "What does my cousin think of the area around the Drum Tower? Find one close to Shichahai, the scenery is better, and when the weather is sunny and warm, you can also go for a walk on the edge of Haizi." ”

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "Although the scenery on the shore of Shichahai is good, will the water vapor be a little heavier? You also have to consider whether the terrain will be too low, and there will be no water accumulation in the rainy season, right? If you live in such a house for a long time, it is easy to get rheumatism." ”

Qin Bai coughed heavily, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo realized that they were off topic, and they were talking about Zhenxi Hou, and they turned to Zhao Shuo, the prince of Liao, halfway through, and his current situation was not good, and he could also be said to be a related figure, but as he was talking, how could he discuss the matter of buying real estate?

Qin Hanzhen cleared his throat a little uncomfortably, and Zhao Mo lowered his head to drink tea.

Qin Bai looked at the two of them expressionlessly, sighed secretly, and finally chose not to pursue them, and only continued to discuss the original topic: "If the King of Liao wants to abolish Guanglu's father's position as the son of the family at this time, it may not be impossible to succeed. It's just that if you want to make one of the other two sons as the son afterwards, I'm afraid it will be difficult. It is indeed more likely that the emperor will not set up a prince of Liao, and when the king of Liao dies, Liaodi will return to the hands of the imperial court. "The border is peaceful, Liaodong has raised a large number of troops, but there are few wars, and there is really not much need for a vassal king to sit in the town, and it is enough to have a few reliable and talented generals stationed in it.

Zhao Mo said lightly: "What the emperor will plan, I dare not guess as a courtier." It's just that the outcome doesn't matter much to me. Regardless of whether my father's position as the prince of Liao will be abolished or not, I have no longer had hope for this position since the day I left Jiangnan. Now that I am my king of Suning, my life is also good. The dispute between the sons of the Liao king, let my father worry about it. It's just that I think he's a frightened bird now, and I guess he doesn't dare to do anything superfluous. ”

Qin Bai said: "If you can see it, it will be your blessing." That being the case, no matter how they fight, you only need to follow the orders of the emperor and the crown prince, and it is enough. ”

Zhao Mo obediently agreed.

The topic returned to Zhenxihou. What happened to Zhenxihou's stroke? Is it really a small trick done by the Su family in private?

Qin Bai was suspicious of this, he felt that Su Zhongying and his wife spent the night in their own house last night, although Su Boxiong returned home, he had been behaving as usual before leaving, and there was nothing special, not like a person who would make this kind of trick.

Qin Hanzhen suddenly remembered something: "When Mrs. Zhenxihou came over yesterday, her attitude towards my little aunt was too bad, so I couldn't help but tell the truth and bluffed her." At that time, the little aunt cried aggrievedly, worried about the future of the two cousins. After crying, she said something strange to Mrs. Zhenxihou......" She repeated the conversation between Qin Youyi and Mrs. Zhenxihou at that time, word by word, "What kind of medicine do they mention, save their lives, Zhenxihou will hate Mrs., they are all suspicious." Could this have something to do with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

Qin Bai and Zhao Mo glanced at each other, both a little shocked.

Qin Bai was puzzled: "What's the point of doing this? Youyi is also confused. At that time, the emperor had not yet made a decree, so he was not sure how to deal with the Marquis of Zhenxi. She did this more, but Zhenxihou was expected to survive for a few days. Isn't she afraid that doing so will ruin the emperor's calculations?"

Zhao Mo was even more frightened: "Zhenxi Hou probably has never been wary of his wife." How long has it been since Mrs. Zhenxi Hou returned from Yongjiahou Mansion, and she has already succeeded. What kind of means did she use? Why did she seem to be very skilled? On weekdays, seeing how obedient she was to Zhenxi Hou, she was unexpectedly ruthless......
