Li Qian didn't have a smile on his face when he got out of the carriage, which made the servants who met him on the road nervous, and when they saluted him, they were three points more respectful than usual.

Not to mention Xie Yuanxi, he followed Li Qian into the study with a calm face, and when Binghe came in with refreshments, he sent the people who served him out and closed the door.

"What's wrong?" he said worriedly, "I see that you didn't go to the Huanyi Bureau and fell to Master Zheng Tonghu, what happened?"

Li Qian didn't know what would happen before he went to see Jiang Xian, so he naturally had to stay behind.

Xie Xiyuan is his backhand, so he knows very well what he and Jiang Xian have done, but he doesn't know what he has said.

Li Qian couldn't laugh anymore, and went to the secret room on the mezzanine floor of the study with Xie Xiyuan, and said in a low voice: "If you are not mistaken, the emperor wants to secretly plot pro-government, and the matter may ......be around the birthday of the Empress Dowager Cao."

Xie Yuanxi's face turned white with fright.

The Li family has just shown loyalty to the Empress Dowager Cao.

If Empress Dowager Cao loses power, the Li family may never rise again. If the emperor loses power...... Unless the Empress Dowager Cao can ruthlessly kill her son and then set up a young master, the Li family, as the Empress Dowager Cao's henchmen, will always be liquidated one day.

Whether it is the former or the latter, the life of the Li family will be very difficult, and their staff will lose their meaning.

He hurriedly said, "Is it the Lord of Jianan County who sued you?"

Li Qian didn't respond for a long time.

The image of Jiang Xian sitting there quietly drinking tea came to mind.

Unspeakably lonely.

When he thought about it, he felt a little sour.

"How could she be such a smart person, how could she say it clearly? Not to mention that this matter also involved the Jiang family of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Wang family of the pro-Enbohou. Li Qian said in a deep voice, "But she told me everything she could sue me......" He carefully told Xie Yuanxi what happened during this time, "Needless to say, the Empress Dowager Cao's side, several auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and several general soldiers in Datong, Xuanfu, and Jizhen are all her people, and the emperor seems to be standing on the Empress Dowager and King Jian, but the Empress Dowager lives deep in the inner palace, and in the end, she can issue a decree to show orthodoxy after the matter is completed." King Jian is the uncle of the first emperor, in charge of the Zongren Mansion, and has good friends with civil and military officials and meritorious relatives, but he has no military power in his hands, even if he wants to support the emperor, he is powerless. The Enhou Mansion is a relative, and what you want is nothing, it can be ignored at all.

"Only the Zhenguo Mansion, the founding of this dynasty, the Jiang family is one of the six major princes, the imperial power in the middle of the dynasty has been changed, only three of the six major princes remain, the other two have long been down, not only there are no outstanding children, not even the qualifications to enter the five military governors' mansions, only the Jiang family, on the surface low-key and forbearing, but the bones are strong and unruly, and there is the blood and arrogance of the founding princes, holding heavy soldiers, and since the founding of the country, has been tossing and turning in the capital of the capital to hold important positions, whether it is the Xishan camp or the five cities of the Terracotta Division or even the Tianjin guard, how can the Jiang family find out a few layers of relationships, is a real family。 If the emperor wants to be pro-government, he can only imprison the Empress Dowager Cao, imprison the Empress Dowager Cao, as long as he can get the support of the Jiang family, the matter will be more than half successful.

"Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no more suitable candidate in this dynasty except for the Jiang family. But who let the Jiang family be in the capital, and there is a marriageable county lord who grew up in Cining Palace!

"You say, what would you do if you were the emperor?"

Xie Yuanxi muttered: "Of course, it's a marriage with the county lord of Jianan!"

But according to the information they got, Empress Dowager Cao didn't want the emperor to marry at all, and wanted Cheng'en Gong Cao Xuan to hook up the lord of Jianan.

Li Qian nodded, his face became even more ugly, and said, "As a result, the county lord of Jianan caught the emperor's traitor in private. What does that mean?"

"Is it because the emperor showed his feet?" Xie Xiyuan's face was no better than Li Qian's, and said, "The county lord of Jianan has not yet reached the throne, she just likes the emperor no matter how much she likes it, there are no matchmakers, and some things can only be hidden in her heart, no matter how amorous the emperor is, it has nothing to do with her." But she suddenly began to take care of the emperor's affairs, she must have heard the news that the two families were about to marry, Empress Dowager Cao's mind was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it, so the marriage with the Jiang family was carried out quietly...... Then the Empress Dowager Cao will be eliminated...... The best time is when Empress Dowager Cao has a birthday and a big feast. At such an important moment, Jiang Lu is nowhere to be found, and Wang Zan is no longer at home......"

Xie Xiyuan said, a cold sweat broke out.

He consulted with Li Qian: "If it is really done on the day of the Empress Dowager Cao's birthday banquet, what should we do? Do it raw or cooked? Do it live, in such a short period of time, the adults are only qualified to enter Beijing to pay homage to the birthday of the Empress Dowager Cao, can the emperor believe us? Even if the emperor believes us, won't he turn his back afterwards? If it is done and the Jiang family intervenes in this matter, the Empress Dowager Cao is in a difficult situation, in case the Empress Dowager Cao falls, what should we do?" He finally asked, "What did the county lord of Jianan say?"

"Yes!" Li Qian sighed, "It's hard to be left, and it's hard to be right." And my father, I don't know what to say, he may not believe me in such a big thing. But when he found out about it, he was afraid that the emperor had already made a move. ”

When it comes to Li Changqing, Xie Xiyuan can't say anything.

Li Qian sat there in a daze, but he was thinking about Jiang Xian in his heart.

She should want me to stand on the Jiang family's side, right?

He began to recall Jiang Xian's demeanor and tone when he said these words.

Then Li Qian stood up and said excitedly: "Why am I so confused? With her temperament, she will definitely have to make trouble with the emperor to the end, but if the Jiang family is already sitting in the same boat with the emperor, no matter how she makes trouble, she will not be in trouble at this time, but it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to marry the Jiang family." Empress Dowager Cao has pressed the Jiang family too hard in the past few years, and the Jiang family is not difficult at this time, and it is not easy to encounter such a good opportunity again. I guess she can't tell what will turn out of things.

"Repay the favor.

"I'm willing to help her, and she has her own thanks.

"She told me this, not because she wanted me to take refuge in anyone. I want to let me know that the capital is about to change. She would ask me in the first sentence, 'Does the Li family want to go back to Shanxi?', instead of asking me what the Li family is doing in Beijing...... She hopes that the Li family can plan a way out of life in this chaotic time, and not be a pawn abandoned by Empress Dowager Cao......"

Li Qian said, walking back and forth in the house excitedly, and said: "Xiyuan, we must discuss this matter carefully, whether the Li family lives or dies, maybe it will be done here." ”

Xie Xiyuan was stunned by Li Qian's conclusion, and hesitated: "I think the county lord meant, I still hope that we are on the side of the Jiang family......

"No, no, no. Li Qian shook his head and said, "You haven't been in contact with her, she is calm and self-controlled, and she sees things very thoroughly, one is one, two is two, black and white...... It's still a little childish, pure childishness like a child," he said, his voice gradually lowered, and his expression gradually softened, "You gave me a piece of candy, I must return you a piece of pastry, and I must be kinder than others in returning the gift, so that the two will not be separated for a long time......"

Xie Xiyuan looked at Li Qian's smile that overflowed from his eyes, and felt a little strange in his heart.

That Jianan County Lord grew up in the palace, how could he be so naïve?

And when did Li Qian become so gullible?
