Chapter 9: Crisis
Seeing his daughter walking in a little embarrassed, Qin Ke wanted to ask her how much she had heard, but he didn't know how to ask. 『』
Knocking out his father's embarrassment, Qin Wan trotted to his father's side, pulling his sleeve and coquettishly. Qin Ke smiled helplessly, skillfully sending his beloved daughter to his knees, Qin Wan smiled and made a grimace at his father before asking: "Aya, Niang, what are you talking about!" I'm done with my homework for the day, and I'm just about to check on Aya when I hear what you're talking about, and I don't know if I should come in! ”
With that, she added as if she had sworn an oath: "I promise, I heard the last one!" ”
What kind of little Jiujiu is her daughter, she naturally knows what she is doing, Shen Man smiled lightly, and said softly: "Aya and A-Niang are saying that as Bao'er, the person who will marry in the future is very qualified to take a concubine." At this time, there will be countless women who will try their best to recommend pillows in order to live a comfortable and prosperous life. ”
"Manniang-" When Qin Ke heard this, his tone became strict, and he was also a little anxious, only to see him lower his voice, as if Qin Wan couldn't hear it, "How can you say this to the child?" What's more, we don't even know when we'll be able to go back ......!"
Shen Man shook his head, his expression was solemn at the same time, but he also sneered a little: "Liu Kuan has been sitting in the position of Pengze County magistrate for ten years, and in the past ten years, every New Year's festival and his teacher's birthday, he has prepared gifts a few months in advance, and ordered someone to set off to Chang'an, I am afraid that he will avoid us and try his best to get out of here." Rao is so dedicated to his dedication and thinking about his mentor everywhere, has his official position ever moved a little over the years? Looking at his actions, it is clear that Deng Jiang is very snobbish and unwilling to be a registered disciple...... It's not proper to do things, if he hadn't scratched the itch of the saint several times, this Shangshu Zuocheng wouldn't have been able to do it. Now he is transferring Liu Kuan away, not to protect this disciple who has never been attentive, but to protect himself. It can be seen that the Jingshi side must be very dangerous. "It is so dangerous that it has a relationship with Qin Ke, the eldest son of the emperor who is far away in exile, and it is enough to make the third person in Shangshu Province, Shangshu Zuocheng Deng Jiang, whose authority is only under the prime minister, tremble.
Qin Wan lay in his mother's arms, quietly listening to his mother's analysis of the situation, although he didn't know much about it, he slowly thought about it.
A-Niang said that there was a man named Deng Jiang who was Liu Yuanjun's mentor, but he was very snobbish. Liu Yuanjun sent him things every year, but he didn't respond at all, and took the benefits of others for many years in vain. Now that something has happened, he is anxious to clear up the relationship, which makes Aya and A-Niang very disdainful...... Wrapping can't make Aya's mother hate it, hmm, after that, whoever sends wrapping things will double the wrapping and send it back, so it's no problem, right?
It's just that something seems wrong.
"Why did he ...... Didn't you transfer Liu Zhijun to go before? ”
Qin Ke and Shen Man bowed their heads in a little surprise, and Shen Manqi said, "Bao'er, what did you say?" ”
Qin Wan realized that she had unconsciously said what she thought, and seeing that her parents didn't mean to reprimand, she had the courage to repeat the question: "If he doesn't want Liu Yuanjun to know his father, why didn't he do it in the first place?" ”
Shen Man was also aware of this problem and muttered, "Don't have this ability? Wrong. Although Deng Jiang only sat in the position of Shangshu Zuocheng three years ago, he has been working in Shangshu Province for more than ten years. If you want to get rid of the involvement, over the years, he has had an opportunity, unless...... He had been watching, but now he had made a decision. "As for what decision...... What can make this kind of old fritter, who is not short of fame or money, and who is in the position of a prominent eunuch, what else can be tempted?
Although Shangshu Zuocheng is only one step away from the phase, how easy is it to take this step?
But why?
If it is said that their family scolded the heavens and the earth in Pengze County and did not have a good word for the saint and Empress Mu, after Deng Jiang received Liu Kuan's reply, he transferred the disciple away, so as not to implicate himself, which is possible. However, the situation of Qin Ke and Shen Man is just the opposite, although they can sigh, they do not complain, at least they do not come out clearly. It stands to reason that Deng Jiang should take advantage of their friendship with Liu Kuan, take the opportunity to form a good relationship with Qin Ke, and send charcoal in the snow, how can he act like this?
Under the suppression of Empress Mu, Qin Ke avoided politics for more than 20 years, and his sense of smell for politics was almost zero, but he was the prince and grandson who had experienced the bloody storm more than 20 years ago, and grew up in the court. ”
Qin Wan kept his parents' words in his heart, slowly figured it out, and saw that his parents' expressions were a little heavy, so he smiled and diverted the topic: "By the way, A-Niang, according to what you say, will we be able to go back soon?" ”
Shen Man and Qin Ke exchanged looks, and after obtaining the latter's consent, Shen Man Fang shook his head and sighed, "It depends on Jiulang." ”
"Huh?" The one who has never met, I heard that it is the only son of Ah Weng and Ah Po, but the ninth uncle of the current prince?
"If Jiu Lang is smart, he should take the initiative to go to the book, if he ......" Speaking of this, Shen Man frowned, thought of something, paused for a moment, and then said, "Then you can only listen to the destiny of heaven." ”
In the past two years, Qin Wan has successively asked about things like concubines, and learned that the royal inheritance of Great Xia follows the ancient system, and the inheritance rights are determined according to the order of the eldest and the elder. In other words, if the emperor dies, the crown prince is the first heir; If there is no crown prince, it is the eldest son of the emperor; If the eldest son of the emperor is gone, then push it down in order. Even if the emperor left an edict and designated the rest of the princes, there would be an embarrassment that the name was not right, and the kings would use this as an excuse to raise troops to rebel. Of course, if the emperor had left an edict to make the heir's biological mother the empress, there would be no such trouble.
The sage cared about the old feelings, and when Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian died, he couldn't bear to let others occupy their positions, how could he let another woman sit on an equal footing with Queen Mu and stand side by side with him? From this point of view, Qin Ke returned to Beijing, and he was no threat to the prince, as for the other brothers......
Qin Wan was still a little confused, always feeling that he seemed to have captured something, but he couldn't tell what thoughts came to him. Shen Man's body trembled unconsciously, only to see her winks at her husband, dip her right index finger in a little tea, and write four words - the prince is in danger.
Seeing this, Qin Ke's face turned white, and his frightened color was revealed.
That's right, something is likely to have happened in Chang'an, and the position of the prince is unstable. Deng Jiang realized such signs, and in order to avoid suspicion, he hurriedly transferred the apprentice away.
Only in this way can this qiē anomaly be explained.
Qin Ke knew in his heart that with such an embarrassing identity of his, unless the crown prince ascended to the throne, or the heroic King of Liang, the generous and kind-hearted King Qi was reborn. In addition, which brother is replaced to become a big treasure, he is a thorn in the other party's heart, and it is a question whether he can survive or not. Because of this, no matter how big his resentment in Queen Mu's heart is, he is looking forward to the crown prince Shun ascending the throne all day long, so that he can go back, but now, ......
"Da Lang, too many people know your handwriting, in this way, you come to dictate, I will repair a book, let Cheng Fang send it back as soon as possible, and hand it over to Boqing, so that he can find an opportunity to contact the Mu family, no, and Zheng Guogong." Shen Man immediately decided, "It is important for the prince to realize that the saint has a deep affection for him, and there is no reason to give him up lightly." In such a time of turmoil, if he could show the saint that he was kind and loving to his brother and tolerant, he would have accepted his dissatisfaction and strengthened his position as prince. "It can also save the lives of our family.
As long as you can go back to the capital, your hands and feet are not so easy to do, and it's easy to say. Otherwise, if you stay in this kind of place, you won't know how you will die.
The more critical the moment, the more calm Shen Man became: "Da Lang, these days, you'd better not go out." I will instruct Cheng Fang and Qiyue to let them support these Northern Ya soldiers with good wine and meat regardless of money during this time, and they must be made aware of ......" Speaking of this, Shen Man's expression darkened, word by word, but it was loud, "If something happens to us, they don't want to live!" ”
