Chapter 146: King Shou
"It's not peaceful in Beijing these days, the girls are too small, I'm afraid of disturbing them, or you will take them to Zhuangzi outside the city tomorrow to live for a few days?!"
Qi Jinzhi was neatly dressed, turned his head to look at Gu Jialuo, who was holding an official hat, and said softly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If he didn't make a mistake, at the latest, Xiao Daozong would take action, and the capital would definitely fall into chaos. If you don't get it right, the rebels of the 'military' will also attack the homes of the powerful.
The Qi family has retired 'Qi Family Army' as an escort, so they are naturally not afraid of those remnants who can't get on the stage. But in case, Qi Jinzhi has already learned a painful lesson (his son who died prematurely due to an accident), and he will no longer let his daughters be hurt in the slightest.
Gu Jialuo raised his arm and raised his official hat in front of Qi Jinzhi.
Qi Jinzhi hurriedly lowered his head and let his wife put it on him.
Gu Jialuo helped her husband put on her official hat, adjusted it slightly, took two steps back, looked carefully, and made sure that there was no problem, so she came closer again and gently stroked the folds on Qi Jinzhi's official uniform.
"Arrow?" Qi Jinzhi held Gu Jialuo's hands, "This is not the time to be reckless. For some reason, I always had a bad premonition. I always feel that this time it will not be as simple as the first two times. ”
Qi Jinzhi did not lie, the previous two turmoil did not look like a 'coup d'état' at all, but like a farce.
Whether it is the former Yan King who has died, or the crazy prince, although he is ambitious and has been preparing for a long time, he is too immature after all. To a large extent, their rebellion is the result of the deliberate indulgence of today's saints. Even, in the process of their actions, there is a faint push of the saint.
Rao is like this, and the turmoil set off by the two princes only lasted for a few days, and the impact on the court and the central government was not great. Except for some courtiers or speculative nobles who became cannon fodder, the others did not make much waves.
But this time it's different.
Xiao Daozong is a careerist, although the 'military' is a group of rabble, but in the end it has been in business for decades, whether it is family background or combat effectiveness, it should not be underestimated.
In addition, there is a very hidden 'black hand' behind the scenes, Qi Jinzhi can conclude that this turmoil will be very intense. Wenchang Hutong is not a high-end community, but the people living in the block are also wealthy eunuchs. Once the rebels of the 'military' enter the city, and then there are scoundrels and gangsters who take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, the first to be hit is the 'powerful area' near the imperial city, and the 'rich area' like Wenchang Hutong.
At that point, the neighborhood becomes a battlefield, and anything can happen on the battlefield. Qi Jinzhi never wants his family to suffer an 'accident'.
The most important thing is that everyone in the world knows that the Qi family has a good weapon, and the Qi family's grandmother is rich, and these two points alone are enough to attract rebels.
Not to mention, the Qi family is still imprisoning Xiao Gang, Xiao Daozong no longer values this son, and he will not let him be imprisoned by the Qi family. Qi Jinzhi can be sure that as long as the capital is in chaos, the people of the Xiao family will attack Wenchang Hutong as soon as possible.
…… After thinking about it, Qi Jinzhi decided to send his family to a safe place in advance.
Of course, Gu Jialuo understood her husband's thoughts, and she also knew her husband's scruples, she smiled slightly and said, "A safe place? Uncle thinks it's safe outside the city? ”
You must know that the vast majority of the military's manpower is in the mountains outside the city, if Gu Jialuo really took her children to the outskirts of the city, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are no high walls as barriers, just with the dozen or so guards around her, as well as Xiao Shisan and others, it is impossible to ensure 100% safety.
In Gu Jialuo's mind, it is better to be still than to be still, and the safest thing is to stay at home.
Qi Jinzhi listened to Gu Jialuo's words, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he sighed: "What you said is not unreasonable. Alas, I'd better discuss it with my father again, and secretly send some more guards to Beijing. ”
Gu Jialuo thought well, the Qi family mansion is indeed very solid. On the surface, it looks very ordinary, but only the Qi family knows that whether it is the courtyard wall or the house, it is built with the strongest bluestone and blue bricks.
In addition, the Qi family also excavated more than one underground secret room and secret passage.
Each secret room is made of bluestone and iron plates, and the room is stored with sufficient dry food and clean water, and the reserves in each secret room are enough for three adult strong men to live for ten days.
As for the secret passages, they are safer, the location is hidden, and there are many mechanisms in the secret passages, each of which can lead to houses a few streets away, and the longest one can even reach the mouth of the moat at the root of the city wall.
Judging from these facilities alone, it is indeed safer to stay at home than outside.
Anyway, even so, simply make the protection at home more tight!
"It's good to look at these things."
Gu Jialuo saw that her husband had adopted her opinion, so she didn't continue the topic, and instead asked about the banquet that Qi Jinzhi was going to go to today: "Uncle, do you have to go to the birthday banquet of King Shou's Mansion today?" ”
Qi Jinzhi raised his eyebrows: "Why did Ah Luo ask that?" ”
Gu Jialuo hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "Father doesn't suspect—"
Qi Jinyi pressed a finger to her lips, interrupting the rest of her words.
Gu Jialuo's eyes widened, and he continued to ask with his eyes. Obviously, she cares about this question very much, and has a posture of vowing not to give up until she gives an answer.
Qi Jinzhi smiled slightly and said, "Father does suspect King Shou-"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jialuo took Qi Jinzhi's finger away and asked eagerly, "Since you think he is suspicious, why do you want to go to the banquet?" ”
If King Shou is really the 'black hand', today's birthday banquet is the Hongmen banquet, and Qi Lingxian father and son went to go, wouldn't he throw himself into the net?
Qi Jinzhi still smiled lightly, and his voice was very soft, "Ah Luo, listen to me." My father not only suspected King Shou, but also King Kang, and there were also several noble families that began to decline when the first emperor was in decline. ”
Gu Jialuo frowned, King Shou was just one of Qi Lingxian's many suspicions?
In this way, it is understandable why Qi Lingxian's father and son are going to Shouwang's Mansion for a banquet, they want to test it in person.
If King Shou was really the mastermind behind all the conspiracies, he would definitely know Xiao Daozong's actions, and he would definitely not let go of this rare opportunity.
Xiao Daozong's action is imminent, and King Shou can use the name of celebrating his wife's birthday to invite all the nobles, important ministers and powerful clans in the city to his home, and then use means to control all these people.
It is no exaggeration to say that King Shou controls the nobles in the city, which is equivalent to controlling most of the capital.
Outside, there are Xiao Daozong and the 'military' rebels under his command charging in front, and their 'great cause' is really likely to succeed!
And Qi Jinzhi and the other trapped guests are in danger.
Gu Jialuo couldn't help but worry when he thought of this. Regardless of whether King Shou is the 'black hand' or not, she doesn't want her father-in-law and husband to take risks!
"Uncle, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger's truth, I, I understand, but, but there is no need to take such a risk, right?"
Whether it is Xiao Daozong or the 'black hand', their target is not the Qi family, but the throne on the Jinluan Palace. To put it mildly, who sits on the dragon chair will not have much impact on the Qi family. Qi Lingxian and Qi Jinzhi have no need to risk their lives for the glory and wealth of others.
Qi Jinzhi raised his hand to help his wife comb her sideburns, and said in a low voice: "Ah Luo, that's not what I said. When Grandpa Gao fought the country, the first generation of King Shou and King Kang all helped each other, and sacrificed a lot for the sake of the country of Daqi. However, out of many considerations, Grandpa Gao did not give enough returns, but on the contrary, he raised Gu, Qi, Xiao, Yang and other families quite high. King Shou and King Kang are obviously brothers, and they have also paid a lot for Daqi, but the result is not as good as the so-called Twenty-Eight Tiger Generals......"
Qi Jinzhi slowly said the grievances of the year, and then said: "If the 'black hand' is really one of King Shou or King Kang, after they take the throne, in addition to dealing with the current saints and their bloodlines, they will not let go of the descendants of the twenty-eight tiger generals." Especially the four major princes who led the troops, they were the first targets for him to eradicate! ”
Qi Jinzhi looked up at the sun outside, and said faintly: "Therefore, we must not let that 'black hand' succeed." ”
Although the ancestors of the Qi family pointed out the way back for future generations, who is willing to leave their hometown to live in a different place unless they have to? !
Qi Lingxian discussed with Qi Jinzhi's father and son repeatedly, and finally decided to give it a go.
Moreover, the strange 'black hand' is hidden behind the scenes, although Qi Jinzhi doesn't know what he has done, but judging from the incident in the Wumeng Salt Farm alone, Qi Jinzhi can conclude that the 'black hand' is not small, and he acts ruthlessly, and never pays attention to any rules and laws.
Such a person is very dangerous, and only when people are afraid can they act with restraint. Once fearless and power-in-power, it will be a disaster for both the Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Limin.
Qi Jinzhi would never want such a dangerous person to seize the throne. Therefore, no matter whether the 'black hand' is King Kang or King Shou, or whether the Qi family has a grudge or not, Qi Jinzhi has to stop him.
"......" Qi Jinzhi said this, what else could Gu Jialuo persuade? She opened her mouth, but finally swallowed her full stomach back.
In the end, she only said solemnly, "Uncle, you have parents, brothers and sisters, and me, and you are fortunate to be lucky and Afu, so please be careful in everything!" ”
Qi Jinzhi looked at Gu Jialuo's eyes and nodded heavily, "I can save it, don't worry!" ”
Out of the Agarwood Temple, Qi Jinzhi went to Xuanrui Hall to greet his parents, and then went out of the house with his father.
The father and son rode horses with more than a dozen escorts, crossed several streets, and came to Shouwang's Mansion.
The Shouwang Mansion has long been newly decorated, and red ribbons are hung everywhere, revealing a sense of joy from the inside out.
Shouwang Shizi is in his early twenties, white and fat, with a simple smile on his round face all the year round, which makes people can't help but feel good at a glance, and can't help but relax their vigilance.
Today is Princess Shou's birthday, and Prince Shou, as the eldest son, personally stood outside the gate to greet visitors.
When he saw Qi Lingxian's father and son, a flash of light flashed in the eyes of King Shou's son, and he immediately greeted him with a smile...... (To be continued.) )
