Li Yanchao never imagined that he originally just wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect that what he encountered would be a big fish!

He originally thought that Imperial Physician Tang and Imperial Physician Shen had been ordered to come to Jiangnan to seek medical treatment for the prince, and they only needed to do something secretly to make them return empty-handed, and the prince in Beijing naturally had only a dead end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Anyway, the prince will die sooner or later, and the emperor will have a step-heir sooner or later, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his approach, and he thought that he could fight for a dragon's work, and contribute to the great treasure for the young son of the king of Shu, and he will soar in the future.

He has been an official in Jiangnan for more than half a year, and his understanding of the latest news in Beijing is a little lagging behind, and he only knows that the young son of the King of Shu has the upper hand in the battle for the emperor's heir, if it is not for the prince's still existence, I am afraid that he will be able to enter the palace immediately. Soon after the queen mother's birthday, the king of Shu quickly returned to Shu, he did not know the reason, only felt that the king of Shu entered Beijing in the name of congratulating his birthday, and it was natural for him to return to the domain after his birthday. A few rumors that are unfavorable to the Shu Palace, he will regard them as rumors.

His family wrote a letter from Beijing, and naturally they would not mention anything that made the Tu family feel embarrassed. In the eyes of his family, he is only a county magistrate, and now he is only in the position of acting as the county commander, what can he do for the great cause of the young son of the king of Shu? Therefore, in the eyes of Li Yanchao, the most promising person in the capital to become the emperor's heir is still the youngest son of the king of Shu.

Huang Jincheng believes that with the Shu Palace's current disadvantaged situation, once the prince has an accident, the most likely person to ascend the throne is Zhao Shuo, the prince of Liao, so it is inferred that Li Yanchao, who is related to the princess of Shu and the Tu family, cannot stupidly attack the prince, which can be said to overestimate him. Someone kept sending Huang Jincheng the latest news from the capital, but Li Yanchao didn't have this treatment.

Li Yanchao's understanding of the court situation was too lagging behind, so that when he saw the man in his thirties at the tea pavilion at the intersection, he only felt ecstatic in his heart.

He had only seen the prince from afar, and he had never been able to see the prince's true face up close, only the prince's approximate size, however, this did not prevent him from recognizing the people around the prince. In addition to the commander of the East Palace guards, who were high-ranking officials he had admired in the past, there were two or three other guards, all of whom he looked familiar, as if he had seen them escorting the East Palace chariot in Beijing, and the other guard, who was firmly behind the prince, happened to be one of his childhood playmates.

At that time, the grandfather of the Li family was still in a high-ranking position, and he was still the son of a beautiful family, the son of the official eunuch family in Beijing, and the young man of the Xungui Emperor's family, many of whom were his acquaintances. Later, his grandfather died, and the family fell into the middle, and he gradually distanced himself from these former friends. But he still paid attention to the news of these people from time to time, so as to find an opportunity to get close to them and seek some benefits for himself, and because of this, he clearly knew that the guard was rumored to be currently guarding the Xiaotangshan Palace.

Xiaotangshan Palace is the place where it is rumored that the prince is recuperating in Beijing.

Whether it is Imperial Doctor Tang or that childhood friend, these rumored people who are stationed in the Xiaotangshan Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, all appear in Jinling City, and they all worship one person, and that person happens to be the same age, appearance, and body shape as the rumored prince-who else could this person be? If this is just a coincidence, it is too many coincidences.

That man must be the crown prince!

Although I don't understand why people in Beijing think that the prince is really recuperating in the Xiaotangshan Palace, and there is no news in the palace, and even the Queen Mother has not informed the Tu family, but that may just be to block the news. This is also a good thing, which means that if the prince encounters danger in Jiangnan, there will not be many people who know about it, and when the time comes, he can find a reason to meet Xiao Xiao casually, and he will be able to fool him. Even if the imperial court wants to track it down, it can't trace it back to the "unknowing" person.

Li Yanchao's heart was excited. Of course, he doesn't act rashly. He is just a small Shangyuan County acting county magistrate, the top two bosses are staring, he bribes one or two officials to help him do private work, and it is not a problem to follow a few people, but if it is openly unfavorable to the prince in the Jinling territory, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. If the court tracks it down, he is not sure that he will be able to hide it from everyone.

This kind of thing is naturally to let the people of the Shu Wangfu do it themselves. It was enough for him to be the messenger.

Li Yanchao, who was excited in his heart, didn't bother to say anything more to Liu Zhutou, nor did he pay attention to Zhao Mo's master and servant who passed not far in front of him, and after thinking about the next plan, he immediately rushed back to Shangyuan County, and ordered his confidant family to send a letter to Beijing quickly.

The king of Shu has returned to Shu, and the princess of Shu and her young son are still in the capital. No matter which side it is, it is far from Jinling. For the sake of safety, Li Yanchao decided to send a letter to both sides at the same time, asking them to make a decision as soon as possible.

He didn't know how long the crown prince would stay in Jinling, so if the Shu Wangfu wanted to do something, he had to make a decision as soon as possible. He also explained in the letter that he would pay attention to the whereabouts of the prince in Jinling City, and when the people from the Shu Wangfu arrived in Jinling, they would just come to look for him.

An hour later, two fast horses galloped out of Shangyuan County, one to the north and the other to the west, respectively, galloping out of the city.

At this time, Zhao Mo was in the house near the Confucius Temple, restless.

He rushed over alone and wanted to ask to see his uncle and grandfather Qin Bai, but he learned an unfortunate news from his cousin Qin Hanzhen: "As soon as we returned to the city, Huang Yan sent someone to send a post and asked my grandfather to come over to discuss the matter. Brother Lobby also followed. Cousin Zhao has something urgent to look for them, and they should be back before lunch. ”

Zhao Mo was stunned: "Uncle and grandfather went to Lord Huang?" How could it be so unfortunate? Although he sent Ah Shou to report to Huang Jincheng, he was absolutely unwilling to see the latter, because he also knew that Huang Jincheng would not have anything good to say about him.

What's worse is that even Qin Jian went with Qin Bai, and Zhao Mo can't even find someone who might know about it now.

Zhao Mo couldn't help but sigh and sat down on the chair weakly.

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him curiously: "What's wrong with Cousin Zhao? Did you encounter something embarrassing? Can you tell me that you know? If you are really in a hurry, I will ask someone to invite my grandfather back, how about it?"

Zhao Mo looked up at Qin Hanzhen and smiled bitterly. He felt that it should not be needed, Qin Bai went to Huang Jincheng's place, and after Ah Shou told Huang Jincheng the news, Qin Bai would naturally persuade Huang Jincheng to persuade the prince to beware of Li Yanchao. Whether he goes or not, the result is the same.

It's just that in this way, what he has been trying to hide, he may not be able to hide it.

But that's fine. What doesn't belong to him won't belong to him after all. Although he and the crown prince are uncles and nephews, they are different from the monarchs and ministers, and Zhao Shuo's ambition is in the middle, so they are reasonable and their positions are opposite. How could he keep pretending not to know, and regard the prince as a kind and kind elder, and even ignore the etiquette that should be observed? If the prince and the people around him didn't know, it would be fine, now everyone knows what is going on, but they still have to cooperate with him to act, no wonder the people around the prince don't like him and are wary of him.

He and the prince's uncle, let's return to the bridge from now on, and return to the road. The warmth he cherished was actually the moon in the mirror, and he should have recognized this a long time ago.

Zhao Mo only said to Qin Hanzhen: "Nothing." I was just...... I haven't seen my uncle and grandfather and Brother Jian for a long time, I miss them in my heart, and I feel sorry when I see them not there. But it doesn't matter, they'll be back for lunch. It will be the same when I see them again. ”

Qin Hanzhen stared at him a few times. She has known this cheap cousin for more than half a year, and she thinks she knows him well. Even if he pretended to be casual now, she could see that he was feeling uncomfortable now, just forcing a smile.

Qin Hanzhen didn't plan to cooperate with Zhao Mo to make a play, so he said: "Grandmother got up early in the morning, and the road into the city was bumpy again, and she was feeling tired at this time, and said that she wanted to catch up on sleep." Let's not bother her. Cousin Zhao will come to my house and talk?"

Zhao Mo naturally would not refuse. The two went to the side room, Qingxing had just taken someone to sort out the luggage, and when she saw them coming, she served tea and snacks, and said with a smile: "When will Zhao Xiaogongzi move back?" Sister Qingdai just told me that they were bored living in this house, and Steward Zhou refused to let them go out to go shopping, so he looked forward to the little boy's return as soon as possible. "If Zhao Mo comes back, he is the master of Qingdai and the others, if he opens Chrysostom and allows his maid-in-law to go out, Zhou Xiangnian will not care.

Zhao Mo smiled reluctantly: "Really, it shouldn't be too long." ”

Qin Hanzhen said to Qingxing: "Sister, take someone down, find someone to sit outside and guard the door for me, if someone comes, call out." I have something to discuss with Cousin Zhao. ”

Qingxing didn't ask much, answered, and took someone down, took a needlework basket by herself, and personally moved a small pestle to sit under the steps in front of the door, and started to needlework. It's hard for her, on this cold day, she only has a small hand stove in her sleeve, barely getting some warmth.

Only Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo were left in the room, and Zhao Mo sat behind the bookcase a little uncomfortably, pretending to fiddle with Qin Hanzhen's paintbrush: "Cousin, what do you have to discuss with me? But about the tea leaves, I have already told them to go to Hangzhou to contact." It's just that it's the New Year, and the people in the tea garden over there probably don't have the heart to talk about it, and they're afraid that they won't have a letter back after the fifteenth day of the first month. Cousin, rest assured, this deal can't be wrong. ”

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "I'm just helping to build a bridge, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with me, what are you doing asking this?" I see that Cousin Zhao's face is full of sadness, and I want to ask you what's wrong? It's not that I want to ask about your privacy, I just think that everyone is so familiar, I know a lot of your secrets, and you also know a lot about my family, so there shouldn't be any need to be polite." That's why I'm going to ask you directly, what's going on? If you think I'm not qualified to ask, then I'll just say nothing. ”

Zhao Mo hurriedly said: "How can my cousin not be qualified to ask? If you are willing to ask me directly, you just don't want to talk to me." It's just that this thing ......," he grimaced.

Qin Hanzhen asked him: "Do you think you shouldn't tell me about this? What about my grandfather? What about my elder brother? You originally wanted to find them, which means that you don't plan to hide them, right? What does it matter if you tell me? I won't tell people to go casually." ”

Zhao Mo looked at Qin Hanzhen in a daze, and suddenly felt that what he was entangled with didn't seem to be so difficult to say.
