234. Chapter 234: Be Honest and Honest
Hearing that Qin Wan was invited, although Shen Huai was full of suspicions, he did not dare to slack off and went to the appointment on time.
From the county prince to the county duke, from the nominal captain to the general Zuo Jin Wuwei, one of the sixteen guards in charge of the Nanfu, compared with the depression five years ago, at this time he swept away the slightly frivolous enthusiasm of the past, and there was a restrained majesty between his eyebrows, which made people lose half a point for no reason at first sight.
Seeing Shen Huai's appearance, Qin Wan was half relieved.
She knew that the king of Dai was in a difficult situation, and she didn't want to let her father fall into trouble in advance because of her own 'selfishness', so she became more and more cautious in employing people, if Chen Miao, 'Yu' Chi and others didn't have a deep hatred with King Wei that couldn't be resolved, and Chang Qing couldn't turn back, she wouldn't reuse the other party. In her heart, Zhao Su, Xiao Yu and others are rare heroes, who can help her expand her territory and gather forces in the army; Qi Run is the dragon and phoenix among people, and his business needs to rely on affection and prudence; As for Shen Huai...... Although the Mansion of the County and the Mansion of the Acting King are grasshoppers on a rope, she does not dare to speak lightly of the word trust, in addition to feelings, it should be mutually beneficial, and cooperation can last for a long time.
It's okay if you've never tasted power, and you won't feel too distressed if you lose what you haven't gained. Shen Huai has held power for many years, and is accustomed to his own 'door' court, countless people have done what he likes, racking their brains to flatter, and they don't want to fall from the top of the mountain, but the king of Wei ...... Qin Wan motioned for Chen Miaoping to retreat from the crowd, and said, "Cousin Boqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, your life is still smooth?" β
Shen Huai never dared to underestimate Qin Wan, and his simple greetings were simply tasted by him. He immediately pondered the things in the court one by one, and finally said with some uncertainty: "County Lord...... Got it all? β
"Know?" Qin Wan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Something happened to Su Yu?" β
Shen Huai couldn't figure out how much Qin Wan knew, and said vaguely: "I heard that the case was almost investigated, and I pinched some evidence, but I accidentally 'lost' my way and got separated in the forest." "The news presented by Lijing's 'door' will not be false, and it is also an ancient precept for Lin Mojin, and no one from the sage told him, but only said it to Shen Huai, and he didn't trust Shen Huai's meaning.
Although Jin Wuwei is not as good as the left and right guards, he can be regarded as being by the side of the Son of Heaven at any time, and Shen Huai is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is a rare person who has no faction. The sage saw that Su Yu seemed to be a little hostile to the Chengguo Mansion, and several sighs fell in Shen Huai's eyes, although Shen Huai knew that the sage was still close to the acting king's family, he was still a little worried about his cousin, but he felt that if Su Yu really went away, it would be good.
Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of sadness, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, let's not talk about this, I believe that Su Yuji people have their own natural appearance, and we don't have to make a rash conclusion, maybe it will cost him his blessing." β
She has a bad relationship with Su Yu, everyone knows it, and she really has to follow the worldly concept, she is the one who does her best to be benevolent and righteous, and it is Su Yu who has to make inches. People who are closer, such as Chen Miao and Shen Huai, all think that Su Yu is not worthy of Qin Wan, and seeing that Qin Wan heard the news of Su Yu's disappearance with such an attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, feeling that she was like a king and soft-hearted. As everyone knows, Qin Wan has always thought that she and Su Yu are married in the end, he can treat her badly, and she can also treat him coldly and not give his face 'color', but these are just trivial things, and he didn't make trouble with Cheng DΓΉ, who was looking forward to the other party's death.
Complaining, distressing, and playing with temper are all stupid behaviors that do nothing good except to make outsiders laugh and make themselves more wolf-like. As for gambling, abuse and even calculations, it's even worse, no matter whether it's a man or a woman, who wants their pillow person to think about their own death every day? 'Lips' are cold, nothing more than that, you can even kill your husband and son-in-law, and kill one or two loyal courtiers, naturally.
Because of this, no matter how much Qin Wan looked down on Su Yu in her heart, in front of outsiders, she would definitely not say that Su Yu was not, at most she was silent. Besides, she doesn't want Su Yu to really die, people are alive, there is an explanation for whether life is good or not, she really can't go on, find an excuse and leave. If Su Yu is dead, it will not be so simple for Qin Wan to get rid of the Su family, although it is common for widows and nobles to remarry, and the royal nobles are not particular, but the mound 'women' remarry...... In the end, it will be poked in the backbone.
Shen Huai knew that he was speechless, so he immediately responded, and listened to Qin Wan ask: "How much does my cousin know about King Wei's 'private' deeds?" β
"King Wei ......" Shen Huai paid attention to Qin Wan's expression, seeing that she was as calm as before, and couldn't see half of the clues, he was amazed, and also said the truth, "King Wei is never soft on political enemies. β
The King of Wei has always regarded himself as honest and honest, and excluded dissidents under the sign of reforming the rule of officials, of course, it is simply whimsical to let officials not make money in their own pockets, and it is also true that these people are getting more and more excessive. King Wei's move did play a role in the officialdom of Zhengyi, and it was also the reason why the sage appreciated him, but to tell the truth, King Wei confiscated the property of corrupt officials at every turn, and even sealed more than ten families of nobles, which also made many people feel uneasy.
Shen Huai is a general of Zuo Jinwu, the noble family wants to find a 'waiter' for his son, relatives and friends want to entrust him to do something, and the businessman is more direct, giving away dry shares for nothing, just to ask him for shelter, these are all normal things. But if you really want to calculate it, the income of the Shen family is also rising, after all, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and there are only so many rich lands, if you don't have a complete grasp of going to the land of fish and rice to make a profit, who wants to leave Chang'an?
In the eyes of the nobles and the children of the family, it is common for the dispute over the storage position to be raided, and if you want to follow the dragon's work, you also have to take the risk of failure, but you are corrupt and perverted the law...... They do not think that they are embezzling the property of the state treasury and taking the opportunity to enrich their 'private' pockets, but they think that being an official is just to make money and water, and it is natural and justified that no one can put their beaks in their mouths. For this kind of thing, in the past, I drank with you, and the nobles who visited the garden were raided and beheaded, and those who survived were either exiled, or reduced to commoners, or even reduced to slaves and maids, lowly status, wouldn't there be a kind of desolation of rabbits and foxes?
If you really want to talk about it, who doesn't have such a thing? If you can do something to the declining nobles today, won't you deceive us tomorrow? Accustomed to the benefits of raiding the house, a large amount of money is often put into the treasury, and when the treasury runs out of money, the idea will hit the head of the "'fat' sheep", do we still want to live?
In this respect, Qin Wan is somewhat similar to the King of Wei, and she is also extremely disgusted with the greed of the nobles. No, it should be said that no one who wants to be an emperor can get used to anyone who dares to take money from his pocket, the difference is only in the different practices. Don't look at King Lu now wooing the nobles, Corporal Lixian, and earning a good reputation among the nobles, if he ascends the throne, can he do anything to these nobles?
Thinking of this, Qin Wan evoked a sneering smile and said lightly: "Not only is it ruthless, it's just crazy." "After that, he 'handed over' the origin of the god's 'jade' clearly, but did not reveal the identity of 'Lu' and 'Yu', only that this matter was Changqing's 'Lu'. As for why Changqing betrayed, she also gave a reasonable explanation.
Shen Huai's face turned blue and white, white and blue, seeing Qin Wan sitting in the main hall, although he spoke softly, he had an awe-inspiring majesty, and his heart suddenly changed, and he suddenly understood Qin Wan's intentions. Suddenly, the small flame that ignited in his heart suddenly jumped high, wrapped him tightly, and his limbs and bones burned.
The people of the Shen family all have a kind of gambling 'nature' that comes from their bones, but after a moment of weighing, Shen Huai got up, took a deep look at Qin Wan, and said resolutely: "What does the county lord command, Boqing is everything." β
"I know that I am a little strong, but-" Qin Wan calmly accepted Shen Huai's salute, and said in a positive way, "I hope Boqing can find a way to 'insert' people into King Han's Mansion and grasp King Han's whereabouts." β
The kings tried to buy and calculate, and sent out a lot of tricks to compete for that chair, and they knew this, and they kept a very strict watch over the palace. Chang Qing once told Qin Wan that he would enter the Wei Wangfu on which day, especially unfamiliar faces, he would know ten days and a half months in advance, and ordered his subordinates to carefully check the details of the other party, and sent someone to follow him for at least three months afterwards.
King Wei is suspicious and strives to control the palace, although King Han is a little careless, he may not be lazy in such matters. Compared with the difficulty and risk of this matter, the slave who followed Ji Qing's 'Lu' was trivial, in Qin Wan's opinion, even if the 'jade' Chi scattered a large amount of money, at most it would be to 'insert' someone in the inner house; as for Changqing, King Wei should not let him know all the dark lines of the blood shadow lurking in the Han Wang's mansion, and in order not to 'reveal' his identity, he can't act rashly.
Qin Wan has to do it in two ways, not only to send someone to keep an eye on Princess Han, but also to pay attention to King Han, the former 'jade' can be sent to do it, but the latter can only be done by Shen Huai. This matter requires a great risk, if you don't confide in Shen Huai, why should others be born and die for you?
As Qin Wan expected, Shen Huai's heart was hot.
The acting king doesn't want to fight for power, that's true, but the people around him want to! King Wei ascended the throne, no matter how polite he was to his eldest brother, he still ate 'meat' with his own deployment, and at most let the relatives of the acting king drink soup. The acting king ascended the throne, and the acting king's family could walk sideways, and Shen Huai was the person who best understood the acting king's words to his wife and daughter. Thinking that if the acting king became the emperor, Shen Man would be the queen, and Qin Wan could at least be a regent princess, Shen Huai's heart almost jumped out of the 'chest' cavity.
Thinking about how much the Mu family has benefited from the two generations of queens, and then thinking about their own situation, can Shen Huai not be moved? Don't say that the reputation of any relatives is not good, so many critical words, how much weight does sour words have? When we have made enough benefits, it is not too late for us to earn fame. With so many children and grandchildren, they won't all become successful, right? What is he working so hard for, isn't he just asking for a wife and son, he is a very good minister, and his family will be rich and glorious for a lifetime, and he will be happy and worry-free? The Mu family is rampant and domineering, no one dares to bully, although he can't see it, but if he can let the Shen family live like this, how can he not be happy?
For Shen Huai, whether the King of Wei is good or bad is just an excuse, and the people in their line need to use the reason that "the King of Wei is not good, if the King of Wei is allowed to ascend the throne, we will not have a good life" to encourage themselves, that's all.
