Guan Jinghuan has been planning for a long time, and he can't tolerate that he has lost so unexplained. How can the ambition in the heart be easily stopped?

He was thinking about it in his heart, feeling that this was his last chance, and he must seize it.

If the imperial court does not increase its troops, the current prince who is trapped in the lonely city will have only a dead end.

After this winter, at that time, as long as the news of the death of the current prince comes, he will encourage everyone to write again, and the possibility of the abolished prince being reinstated is still very great.

However, Rao was his calculations, but he missed the reason why the prince was deposed.

It's not because even though his subordinates compete with the people for profit, it's not because of the old things of buying and selling officials. But Feng Mingxian, as the prince, blatantly killed the official because of his selfish interests.

Treating human life as a mustard, treating the people as nothing, and ignoring the law, he recently took the risk of killing the king and forcing the palace.

Feng Mingxian forced the palace to kill the king, which was a royal scandal. Emperor Qinglong issued an order to abolish the crown prince, but did not explain the reason. In the eyes of Emperor Qinglong, this kind of thing belongs to the ineffective management of the family, and the godson can't, so he naturally doesn't want the world to know.

Therefore, Guan Jinghuan felt that as long as he planned properly, the abolished prince would still have a chance to ascend the throne.

On the same day, he came out of the Xuanzheng Palace, first tried to move Yao Shangshu, and then reported the news to the prince's old department. But now, I realized that Emperor Qinglong did not give up the current prince at all, and everyone regretted it.

Originally, the Chinese courtiers and nobles of the dynasty were like two parallel lines, but they did not interact with each other as officials of the same dynasty, and even had very few in-laws.

It's just that Guan Jinghuan is extremely ambitious.

If he wants to realize his political ambitions, he must support a puppet emperor to ascend to the throne, realize the "vertical arch and rule", and usher in the prosperous era of Wenchen.

Emperor Qinglong and the current crown prince are not people he can control. The only choice is Feng Mingxian.

His ambition has been well hidden. Anyone who saw his elegant appearance and profound knowledge would not think that he had such crazy ambitions in his heart.

In order to realize his political ambitions, he did not hesitate to take risks and make friends with nobles.

At this time, hearing Jin Nanhou's question, he said unhurriedly: "Do you think that it is so easy to get from the dragon's skill?"

At this moment, everyone was silent. Yes, how can such a great credit be so easy?

"As long as the decree is not given, we cannot afford to mess with ourselves. Guan Jinghuan twisted his beard and said, "Even if we advocate the abolition of the crown prince, this is not a great sin." Even if the emperor doesn't like it, he can't punish us. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded.

Guan Jinghuan is very right, from the overall situation, Emperor Qinglong really can't do anything with them.

Several people who were discussing the meeting went out from the side gate of Jinnan Houfu in twos and threes. What Guan Jinghuan said undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.

However, they misestimated the reason why Feng Mingxian was deposed, and also underestimated Emperor Qinglong's determination to clean up the court.

……

Wu Zhengxiang was in the Xiao Cavalry Guard, looking at the messages sent up. In the past few days, he has investigated clearly which people are colluding with them and which people are just grass people on the wall.

When he saw the abolished princelings assembling in the Jinnan Houfu, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and a plan took shape quickly.

There are three days left until the ten-day period. It is becoming more and more difficult to hide the news of the great victory in the Northland. He quickly entered the palace, and after obtaining the consent of Emperor Qinglong, he asked Jin Nanhou to come to Xiao Cavalry under the pretext that Lei Ba wanted to see his father.

……

Pingguo Mansion.

Because Liu Qiran won the appreciation of Emperor Qinglong, the house was full of joy. Tu Manzhen's long-awaited trip was unable to take place due to the tense atmosphere in Beijing.

But this time, she didn't complain.

In the face of national disaster, how can she only care about herself and be greedy for fun? Liu Qiran is the prince of Pingguo, and he should share the worries of the monarch.

Since the news of the defeat in the north came, Liu Qiran gathered the private soldiers of the Pingguo Mansion, invited out the veterans raised by the mansion, and practiced every day to prepare for the battlefield.

Seeing that he was busy, Tu Manzhen changed from a little woman who was spoiled to heaven into an understanding and good wife.

Liu Qiran ate and lived with the soldiers in the outer courtyard every day, and Tu Manzhen stared at the kitchen to add vegetables to him, for fear that he would not eat well. He also changed his method to send pastries and fruits to the outer courtyard, so that the soldiers could use them at any time when they were hungry.

She had a big belly and began to worry about Liu Qiran's winter coat again.

I heard the eldest sister who came back from the Northland say that the Northland is very cold. If you really want to go to the battlefield, these clothes are obviously not enough at the moment. began to stretch out, let his subordinates buy sturdy cloth, and entrusted a ready-to-wear shop to make winter jackets for Liu Qiran and his guards and soldiers.

She is not good at cooking, and she is not a good woman. The only thing Tu Manzhen can do is to do a good job of logistics for them.

Liu Qiran has bigger things on his body now, and he can't care about staring at Tu Manzhen all day long, nervous for her. Tu Manzhen was busy before and after, but her spirit was getting better and better.

Zeng was very happy to see the two of them so harmonious.

has a son who has been praised by the emperor himself, and has such a virtuous and capable daughter-in-law. How is Ping Guogong, she no longer minds.

However, in the harmonious Pingguo Mansion, there was a person whose heart was shrouded in gloom and misery. The concern in my heart is unspeakable, and the original arrogant face is now replaced by melancholy.

"Mother. Liu Qilan entered the door and said, "I want to go to the Zhongguo Mansion and ask to see the second young lady." ”

Zeng was a little surprised, and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to her?" She remembered that Liu Qiyun and Xu Wanzhen had no contact, so why did they deliberately want to go now.

After carefully looking at her several times, Zeng felt that she had neglected this eldest daughter a little recently. What was she thinking? I told her several family affairs, but she refused because she was not in a hurry.

However, she is about to be eighteen years old, and she has been dragged into an old girl, and she still says that she is not in a hurry?

Fortunately, Liu Qiran also got married late, and she didn't look old in the house. But in Beijing, there are very few people who are not married at the age of eighteen.

It's just that with the current situation of the Pingguo Mansion, there is a plaque of the Prince's Mansion, but there is no strength to match it.

The marriage of several children will not be high or low. Liu Qiran and Liu Qilan's marriage, Zeng's family began to look at each other for the two as early as five years ago.

However, the people she likes can't look down on the Pingguo Mansion.

looks at the Pingguo Mansion, and she feels unsatisfactory.

Therefore, the marriage between the two dragged on day by day. In the end, it was Liu Qiran who took a fancy to Tu Manzhen and begged to marry her as her eldest daughter-in-law.

To say that the Tu family is noble, Tu Manzhen is the identity of the second daughter, and he is a disciple of Mr. Ning. Marrying into a declining state mansion is not a low marriage.
