Chapter 120

When Qin Jingnan returned to the house, Mo Shu'an had already roughly prepared his luggage, because he was in a hurry, he simply prepared a change of clothes and medicine for injuries, long before he heard the news and called people to the study, Qin Jingnan thought that he had a success in his heart, so he asked someone to talk to Mo Shu'an in advance, and he wanted to come back and explain in detail, but he never thought that Mo Shu'an had packed his luggage for him.

"I'll come back and pick you up." Qin Jingnan said in a deep voice.

Mo Shu'an smiled and advised, "Be careful." ”

Qin Jingnan responded, and if he wanted to explain, he always felt that it was a little redundant, so he stepped forward and hugged Mo Shu'an, and said, "Wait for me." ”

Mo Shu'an's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but cry anymore, she only knew that Emperor Yingzhong was dead, and it was good to be able to endure the fear and pack Qin Jingnan's luggage, but at this time, she couldn't help crying quietly, "Well, Qingbao and I are waiting for you." ”

Qin Jingnan only felt pain in his heart.

In the end, Mo Shu'an pushed Qin Jingnan away first and said, "Go and talk to Qingbao, lest she think that you won't say goodbye and be sad." ”

Qin Jingnan touched Mo Shu'an's face, wiped the tears from her face, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The two went to say goodbye to Qingbao together, and after Qingbao learned the news that Qin Jingnan was leaving, he asked, "When will my father come back?" ”

"At least a month." Qin Jingnan touched her daughter's face and said, "When the time comes, will your father let someone pick you up?" ”

Qingbao was stunned, carefully calculated how long a month was, and then his eyes turned red, "Is it okay not to go?" ”

Qin Jingnan squatted down, held his daughter's little hand and said, "Father will come back as much as possible." ”

Qingbao cried suddenly, "Father doesn't want Qingbao again?" Is it okay to take Qingbao with your mother? ”

Mo Shu'an was very sad when she heard Qingbao's crying, but she had to say in a deep voice, "Qingbao, don't make trouble, my father also needs to make money to support the family, doesn't he?" ”

Although Qingbao likes to play with Qin Jingnan, but in the end, he was raised by Mo Shu'an, and when he heard Mo Shu'an's voice, he sobbed and looked up at her, "Mother, I don't want my father to leave." ”

Mo Shu'an also squatted down, wiped Qingbao's tears with a handkerchief and said, "Do you think that the father of the junior son also often went out to work and was not at home?" ”

Qingbao sobbed and didn't speak, but kept holding Qin Jingnan's arm.

"Qingbao!" Mo Shu'an screamed.

Qingbao looked at Mo Shu'an's stern face, sobbed and let go of his hand, rubbed his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand and said, "Father, you must come back." ”

Qin Jingnan said, "Yes." Reaching out and rubbing Qingbao's head, "You have to listen to your mother, you know?" ”

Qingbao nodded, biting his lip and looking at Qin Jingnan.

Mo Shu'an sighed, hugged Qingbao, and said, "The hour is coming, you can go and see if there is anything missing." ”

Qin Jingnan nodded, but did not leave immediately, but directly hugged Mo Shu'an, which was equivalent to him hugging Mo Shu'an and Qingbao, Qingbao was startled and hugged Mo Shu'an's neck, Qin Jingnan hugged very tightly and walked steadily, so he walked back to the house step by step, and then put the two people on the chair before carefully packing up his things.

Mo Shu'an bit her lower lip, hugged her daughter tightly and looked at Qin Jingnan who only packed a package in the end, Qin Jingnan sighed, looked at his wife and daughter and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"Yes." Mo Shu'an responded, hugged Qingbao and sent Qin Jingnan out of the courtyard gate, no matter how far away, Qin Jingnan's index finger and middle finger were together, and he pasted his lips, and then put them on Mo Shu'an's lips, gently touched his daughter's face, and then turned to leave.

Although Qin Jingnan didn't say anything, Mo Shu'an knew what he meant.

Qingbao couldn't help crying anymore, and called his father while crying, which made Mo Shu'an cry too.

This time I went to the capital, I was afraid that it would be particularly dangerous, Mo Shu'an bowed her head and kissed her daughter, "Let's wait for him together, we are all here, he will definitely come back." ”

Even if Qin Jingnan hurried up and tried to minimize the time to rest, but when he was about to arrive in the capital, the Eighth Prince had already arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, but for some reason he directly stationed people outside, and did not enter the capital, Qin Jingnan and the others quietly entered the capital first.

In fact, the eighth prince is like this, he was completely cheated, he recently had a new pair of twin sisters, very spoiled, and a little carried away, when discussing major matters with others, he didn't even avoid the two of them.

"What do those dog minions mean, why don't you come to greet them once!" The eighth prince lived in the royal courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, and at this time he angrily dropped his cup and glared at those strategists and said.

"Your Highness is angry." One of them spoke, "Who else in this world is qualified to sit on the throne except His Highness?" Only His Royal Highness is justifiable, and it is precisely because of this that His Highness should not be in a hurry, he should naturally be humble and humble, at least three times, so that all the people can watch, not that His Highness wants to ascend the throne, but that he is really forced to be helpless, and he ascends the throne for the sake of the subjects of the world. ”

The Eighth Prince thought the same thing, but he waited a little impatiently, "When will that be?" ”

"In the past two days, it should be the second time that hundreds of officials will kneel to greet them." The strategist said with a smug face, "The British Emperor's ......" Seeing that the eighth prince's face was not good, the strategist immediately changed his words, "The prince usurped the throne, and killed so many courtiers, and now there is no one in charge of the court, so naturally things are much slower, but according to the news from those who have taken refuge in His Highness, at most two days, there will be another hundred officials kneeling and begging His Highness." ”

Naturally, there is an element of exaggeration in this hundred officials, but if you count all the officials and even those who are waiting to arrange positions, there are as many as 100 people.

After hearing this, the eighth prince's eyes lit up, and he didn't have the impetuosity just now, and grabbed the waist of the beauty next to him before saying, "What Mr. said is that I also can't bear to watch the people suffer." ”

Obviously he was anxious to ascend the throne, but he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, all of the henchmen of the Eighth Emperor were here, and they all knew it in their hearts, but no one was a fool, where would they say it, but they all began to praise the Eighth Prince, but a strategist thought for a while and said, "Although His Royal Highness is expected by everyone, but after all, there is still a fourth prince alive, and he is still ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Eighth Prince, "Just such a dumb person? I don't know what it's like to be ruined in that wild place, and even if he is, what if he is? The world will not let a mute be the emperor. It was like talking about funny things, and I laughed.

The strategist wanted to say more, but the strategist who spoke at the beginning pulled his sleeve, the man glanced at it, and then fell silent, he still felt that it was good if things were foolproof, but he also understood in his heart that even if the eighth prince wanted to sit on the throne, he still had to be reserved, which made it easy to record in the history books in the future, and it was of great benefit to the reputation of the eighth prince. Thinking about it this way, I ignored the uneasiness in my heart.

It's just that no one noticed that the strategist who first advised the Eighth Prince not to be anxious, when he lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously groped, and then he raised his head and began to talk about waiting for the hundred officials to kneel down three times, and then arrange for all the people in the capital to kneel along the road to greet him.

When Qin Jingnan and others rushed to the capital, the hundred officials had already knelt down for the second time, and were rejected by the Eighth Prince, in the dead of night, Qin Jingnan and his party secretly entered from the small gate of the capital in disguise, and it was the military attache brought by the Eighth Prince from the frontier to guard the city, the military attache was in his forties, ordinary and not good at words, and the Eighth Prince was particularly disliked, so these unmeritorious jobs were arranged for him.

It's just that what the Eighth Prince didn't know was that the person had already whispered the situation of the Eighth Prince to Qin Jingnan in just a quarter of an hour, and quietly let Qin Jingnan enter the city, Qin Jingnan didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them glanced at each other, and Qin Jingnan disappeared into the alleys of the capital with people.

And the generals who followed were all his cronies, as if they didn't see it at all, and when Qin Jingnan and they left, they closed the city gate again, and began to continue to guard the city gate as if nothing happened.

At this time, the capital no longer has the prosperity of the past, because of the eight princes outside, the people have closed their doors early, and the same is true for those rich and noble families, even if there was a curfew, many people are singing every night, as long as they don't go out, how can they be, now there are no such pastimes, and even during the day, few people go out, and there are beautiful girls at home, and they hide their daughters early.

The people are better, after all, the eighth prince has never seen the night and never heard of these poor people's girls who are beautiful and talented, but those officials and even some titles in the family, who has a girl, whose girl is beautiful is easy to inquire, although the eighth prince is rare The pair of twin sisters, but also a greedy one, even if the eighth prince did not say it explicitly, the people below will figure out what they want, and after inquiring, they hinted that some families will reluctantly agree, after all, the eighth prince is afraid that he is the future emperor, No one wants to have a bad impression in the emperor's heart, and some people even take the initiative to find a way to send their daughters and sisters to the family.

has such soft bones, naturally there are those who love their daughters in the family, and they don't want to do so, even if they are hinted at, they just don't understand, and they don't stick to their family background, and they don't even pay attention to pomp, and they marry their daughters in a hurry, but unfortunately there are no officials to open the marriage book now.

In this way, although the eighth prince did not enter the capital, his image in the hearts of many people is extremely poor, and even the people don't really want to have such a monarch, after all, those official and old families are like this, they have no backstage, how can their wives and daughters and sisters be saved? It's inevitable that people will be panicked.

In fact, in the final analysis, the eighth prince was also pitted by those who wanted to please him, he didn't know what his subordinates explicitly hinted at, he just thought that those people knew each other and wanted to slap him, and the eighth prince also wanted to win over those official families in the capital, so he didn't refuse.

Qin Jingnan already had manpower in the capital, because his power developed late, and it was not easy to win over officials, so he found another way and secretly cultivated his own forces, but he raised a lot of young students and officials, most of these officials were not high-level, and there were even fewer who could stay in the capital, but the British Emperor happened to kill a group of high-ranking old courtiers, and Qin Jingnan's manpower was just preserved, and after the chaos in the capital, he attracted a lot of people, and most of the people in the capital had to be used at this time. In this way, it made it a lot easier for him, and he soon learned about the situation in Beijing.

In addition, there are many neutral and so-called royalists in Beijing, no matter who is the emperor, they are only loyal to the emperor, and it is precisely Qin Jingnan who has the jade seal of the country in his hand.
