Liu Ting tried her best to maneuver outside the Saiwai, wanting to use the word profit to firmly bind Tashi's two wives together, and Zhuang Cheng in brocade clothes and jade food was not idle. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the inner courtyard of Mama Ge and the big girl ring cooking, he walked out of the cellar after eating the only book of historical materials, and stood for the first time in the "hotel" where the Longxi Zhuang family will always open the door.

When the "hotel" of the family was built, even the old lady of the dealer does not remember clearly. Before arriving in Longxi, Zhuang Cheng only knew that there was a special hotel in his hometown to receive guests. The restaurant, which is never closed and has no interruption in the supply of food and clothing, is maintained by flowing silver. Seventy percent of all the banker's income in Yuanqing Town is used for the expenses of the hotel.

Zhuang Cheng didn't know why he wanted to set up such a place for "those who don't refuse to come", until Mrs. Zhuang gave a hint: "Why don't you go and see for yourself?" ”

The old lady also said proudly: "In the eyes of the powerful, a useless reputation may not be really useless." At the very least, there are quite a few learned clear streams that will be famous. ”

So, will the learned Qingliu come to the house?

With questions, Zhuang Cheng walked out of the courtyard gate of the banker's house. He gasped as he stood in front of the hotel.

The three-story attic is full of people dressed up in the early morning. There are practitioners who can see martial arts at a glance, and there are also travelers who dress casually and can't look at their manners. What interested Zhuang Cheng the most was the person who looked like a scholar sitting in the corner of the hall. They are not young, and they are all scholars in every gesture, as if they are in a no-man's land, and they are focused on communicating in the noisy hall.

Zhuang Cheng approached them, who were focused on communication. After listening silently to the two pillars of incense, he knew who the people who came to the pavilion were - depressed or disgusted with power. These people who come in search of the reputation of the family may have different purposes, but the fog that can bring together what they have seen and heard will become thinner and thinner.

"Dingnan Gong just didn't obey the edict, and he didn't oppose it. But the prince in the south turned against him under the pretext of being 'unorthodox'. When Zhuang Cheng sat down, the old man with a gray beard was talking about passion. The old man who was dressed as a man patted the table and praised: "Dingnangong's trick is really wonderful. Let all the royal families in the town guard oppose the emperor with 'orthodoxy', and the background of the saint is really low, now, the emperor has no excuse to take the Nangong diligently, and he has to deal with the questioning of the children of the royal family. ”

"The princes in the south only have family soldiers under them, even if they are opposed, what can they become?" The middle-aged man sitting next to the old man shook his head, "The Holy Lord has more than 300,000 male soldiers in his hands, and he wants to clean up the emperor's uncle and brother in the south, but he still has his hands on it?" ”

"It's not difficult for the Holy Lord to clean up the portal today, but those imperial uncles and brothers are under the protection of the Duke of Calm." The old man stroked his beard and said, "There are 200,000 soldiers under the command of Dingnan Gong, if the emperor's uncle and brother in the south did not have the support of Dingnan Gong, they would have been captured by Dingnan Gong, so why do they need to do it?" ”

"Do you mean that although the Duke of Dingnan did not rebel, he secretly supported the princes in the south?" The middle-aged man sighed, "In this way, the south side will be separated from Dawu." ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that." The old man lowered his voice and said: "It has only been twelve years since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, and even if he covered it up in historical materials, he couldn't hide it from the people of the world if he ascended the throne unorthodox. The gap was already there, and the emperor began to restrain the princes again, for fear that the children of the royal family who were not in the south would also move when they heard the news. But which of those princes is a general? The four princes of the year were able to seize the throne that should have been the crown prince, how could the current princes and princes not have this mind? In my opinion, it can be as short as one or two years or as long as three or four years, and the kings who have accumulated their forces will do the same thing as the princes of the south. ”

"Imperial civil strife is coming?"

No one answered this question, and Zhuang Cheng also left in silence. Although he understood what the civil strife of the royal family meant, Zhuang Cheng had no interest in paying attention to it at all. First, the internal strife in the imperial family will make the emperor more reluctant to the available ministers, and the father who is far away in the capital has a bright future and does not need to worry; Second, Zhuang Cheng wanted to find Zhuang Shuo with all his thoughts, and he didn't want to pay attention to anything else at all.

Finding that the old lady was sitting alone in the Secret Pavilion, Zhuang Cheng was overjoyed and greeted him.

"Grandfather, I still haven't found Shuo'er's background." He shook his head in frustration and squatted beside the old lady: "There are no less than fifty families or people whose whereabouts are unknown in the book. Even if all of them may be related to Shuo'er, the grandson can't be sure which one. Okay, tell your grandchildren. ”

"I should have told you in two years, but now it's not impossible to say." With a sly smile, Zhuang Yichen blinked: "In exchange for Zhuang Shuo's true life experience for her whereabouts, I wonder if the seventh boy is willing?" ”

"So you know she's not dead." Zhuang Cheng couldn't stand this temptation, and nodded again and again, "If my grandfather tells me who Shuo'er is studying, my grandson will definitely give what he knows." ”

"Okay." Looking at the tightly closed wooden door, Zhuang Yichen said quietly: "More than ten years ago, the fourth prince killed the crown prince and urged him to ascend the throne. In order to prevent criticism, he was already the emperor and surrounded the East Palace, trying to force the people in the East Palace to commit suicide by this method. Your father received a request for help from the crown princess seven days after he ran out of food in the East Palace. ”

"Because my father is the right guard of the prince, he is also the prince's person. Only then was he transferred by the emperor to Yuanqing Town to garrison. Zhuang Cheng was puzzled, "But what does this have to do with Shuo'er?" She had just been born. ”

Zhuang Yichen was stunned, and continued, "If the crown princess asks your father to find a way to save her, your father will definitely not go." Although the crown prince is a loyal person, when the new emperor succeeded to the throne and the crown prince died, how did your father take the risk of the nine clans to rescue the crown princess? Who knows that the crown princess did not ask your father to rescue her, but gave a temptation that your father couldn't refuse. ”

Zhuang Cheng, who was aware of it, didn't dare to move, holding his breath and waiting for the old lady's answer. After a long sigh, Zhuang Yichen's voice full of vicissitudes sounded in his ears again.

"The crown princess Qiao Fenyuan will find your father, and no one else who is more loyal to the crown prince, because your mother is about to give birth. One of the prince's side concubines, Yuan Rouzhi from the Chaling Yuan clan, gave birth to the prince's eldest daughter and the prince's only child. The crown princess asked your father to rescue Yuan Rouzhi and the child first, and when your mother gave birth, she agreed to leave the prince's only bloodline in the name of twins. ”

"Shuo'er is that kid?" Zhuang Cheng shook his head decisively, "I don't believe it!" My father had always been thoughtful, how could he do such a dangerous thing? Even my grandson I know that leaving the descendants of the abolished prince has endless consequences. No matter how you look at this matter, there is only risk and no benefit, and my father often said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The person who is regarded as the crown prince by the new emperor is too late to avoid suspicion, let alone raise a living child under his name? ”
