Chapter 303: Old Things
It's no wonder that Shu Jin has this idea, it is really because the official who reported to Bilian Country is a person from the Ministry of Rites, and the Shangshuling of the Ministry of Rites is Qiu Yusi, who has always been good friends with the Zuo family, so it is not impossible for Li Hengcheng to get some news through his stepmother Zuo Qinglan.
I have never offended anyone, but I was framed the first time I entered the palace, and there are only a few masters with status who can command people at will in the palace, and I saved Qi Lian twice, so I must have become a thorn in the eye of Concubine Yun on the other side, so it makes sense for them to breathe the envoy of Bilian Country through the relationship of the Qiu family, and let the foreign envoy deal with themselves.
Is this the case, you have to see it to know, as for whether Li Heng will unite with the people of the Zuo family to deal with him? This question does not need to be considered at all. I'm afraid that what Li Hengcheng wants to win over most now is Shu Jin, who has King Yong as a backer, didn't he see that he gave Yipin Pavilion to Shu Jin very happily? Unless he really doesn't want to live, it's too late for him to befriend Shu Jin now, how can he secretly make a stumbling block.
The place where Li Hengcheng made an appointment was a house in Chongmingfang, Shu Jin and the two arrived there at the agreed time, and Li Hengcheng was already waiting there.
"Here you are, sit." Li Hengcheng said when he saw the two of them, and then said straight to the point, "Shu Jin, as far as I know, someone revealed to the Bilian envoy that you recognized the treasure tree that the Bilian envoy offered, and now the Bilian envoy is hating you." ”
Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu didn't expect him to open his mouth to say about this matter, Shu Jin said:
"Thanks for reminding me, I already know this. But how do you know? ”
Li Hengcheng's expression was calm when he heard this, obviously he had already guessed that Shu Jin would ask.
"You should also know what I am going to do in my family. Surely you understand. After all these years, if I hadn't prepared at all, my brothers would have been eaten to the bone. ”
Shu Jin nodded when he heard this, and said:
"Sure enough. The news came from the palace! ”
Li Hengcheng nodded:
"I came to you to see what you were going to do? Is there anything I need help with. I know that with King Yong, you will definitely not suffer, but there are always places that his old man can't take care of, for example. He would not have placed any people in the emperor's concubines. Also, there are some things I want to tell you. ”
When Shu Jin heard this, he had to admit it. From the last time, Qi Lian was almost killed. This time, as soon as Shu Jin exposed the Bilian envoy, someone went out of the palace to report to these foreigners, and King Yong didn't get the news immediately, which is enough to see this. But if King Yong really even installed people in the harem concubines, it would be a bit too much.
"Actually, even if the envoy of the Bilian Kingdom is dissatisfied with me, he won't do anything to me. They are nothing more than foreigners. What can you do with me in the big show? ”
"Yes! Besides, the emperor has already decided to dispose of these envoys, and it is estimated that they will not be able to play any tricks. ”
Li Hengcheng is looking for a kind of cooperation, and at this moment Shu Jin is the object of his wooing. Shu Jin has no reason to get involved in these rights and wrongs in vain, so he always has to bargain. Jiang Duanyu saw what Shu Jin meant, so he also cooperated.
Li Hengcheng smiled, understanding that Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu were pretending not to know, but they just wanted to see where their benefits were.
"Brother Yu has been in the capital for this time. Have you found your loved ones? ”
Li Hengcheng smiled and suddenly changed the topic. asked Jiang Duanyu, "I heard that Brother Yu has been in frequent contact with the Bao family recently." ”
"You're spying on us?"
"No, I can only know your whereabouts because I care about your friends. Actually, I just wanted to tell you one more thing. ”
Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu glanced at each other, and Shu Jin said:
"Listen up."
"You should know that there was a political upheaval many years ago, right? The rebellion was caused by a brother of the first emperor who wanted to usurp the throne and united some courtiers to rebel. The current emperor was escorted by King Yong to hide for several years, and did not return to Changdu until the disaster was quelled.
When quelling the troubles, the Protectorate Mansion made great contributions, so it has the current hereditary title. Then, Jiang Cangjin married a woman from the Bao family who was also a hero of the rebellion, and the Bao family gave birth to a son, and two years later, Jiang Cangjin accepted a noble concubine, which was the Xie family.
Later, during a hunt outside the palace, the remnants of the chaotic party attempted to assassinate the current emperor, but were stopped by Mrs. Jiang, that is, the Bao family, the current emperor is fine, but the Bao family was seriously injured, and finally died, not long after, Jiang Cangjin's eldest son disappeared.
Some people say that it was because the remnants of the disaster were not completely eliminated back then, and they hated the Jiang family for ruining their good deeds, so they took away the eldest son of the Jiang family as revenge. ”
"We've known this for a long time." Jiang Duanyu heard what he said about the Jiang Mansion all the time, and he faintly felt that Li Hengcheng was planning to start from his own side and let Shu Jin help, so he interrupted him.
"Brother Yu, don't worry, listen to me. Back then, he was still the young master of Jiang Mansion, that is, today's protector Jiang Cangjin has a good brother who was born and died, named Xie Qiang, he is the elder brother of Jiang Cangjin's concubine Xie Wanru, after the Jiang family was knighted, he also had a smooth journey, and now he has an official residence in Weiwei Siqing, with jurisdiction over the arsenal, weapons, and palace guards. can be regarded as a very human minister.
And I also recently learned that Xie Qiang is related to the Zuo family.
This is something that most people don't know, because the Xie family has been close to the Jiang family for many years, and it seems that they have not had any contact with the Zuo family, and the two parties are one and the other, and there seems to be no intersection. However, I checked, Xie Qiang's mother is from the Zuo family. Although it is not how tall she is, and she is not a young lady, she is indeed a member of the Zuo family. ”
Hearing that Xie Qiang had relatives with the Zuo family, Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu were stunned. This is something they didn't find and didn't expect.
"Is there any basis for what you say?" Shu Jin asked.
With Ge Cunzhong's investigation, no such thing was found, but in Shu Jin's opinion, Li Hengcheng would never dare to deceive them with such a thing.
"I found a person, it was an old man from Xie Mansion in the past, he used to be Xie Qiang's horseman, and even went to the battlefield with Xie Qiang. After Xie Wanru married into Jiangfu, Xie Fu once sent away a group of slaves. The groom was also sent away because he had broken his leg and was not good at walking, and he was too old.
He was sent to Zhuangzi, but because he had no children, no daughters, no one to rely on, and was disabled, he did not live well in Zhuangzi. Later, he offended Zhuangzi's steward and was simply kicked out of the house. Therefore, he was dissatisfied with Xie Fu.
I sent someone to take care of him for a while, and then asked someone to invite him to a few meals of rice wine, and he told us many stories about Xie Fu back then. (To be continued......)
