Zhao Xiu has been waiting for news at home, waiting anxiously. She really wasn't sure if General Hu was someone who could listen to other people's advice. At least he never listens to persuasion in front of his own daughter.

However, even if he can't listen to the persuasion of others, it is just that Zhao Wei's kindness has failed. He and Gao Zhen had a big deal to report directly to the emperor, so General Hu was unlucky. Although Zhao Xiu sympathized with Miss Hu, she was not so important that she concealed her father's behavior in order to protect her, and sat back and watched the capital become chaotic again. Besides, isn't Miss Hu mentally prepared for this? Miss Zheng also mentioned that Miss Hu would rather let her father suffer a loss than want him to participate in the rebellion of King Jinyang and affect the lives of the whole family.

Anyway, King Jinyang had not rebelled yet, and General Hu had not officially colluded with him to do anything unfavorable to the imperial court. If the emperor wants to have a seizure at this time, he should at most dismiss General Hu, right? It is also possible that taking into account his past merits, in order to stabilize the hearts of the military, he will be transferred to a remote place, and he will be promoted or secretly descended. The lives of the Hu family should still be saved.

However, Zhao Xiu's brain made up for a long time, but he still didn't dare to pack the ticket, who knows what the emperor will do? At the beginning, King Guangping and Gao Zhen's father and son, plus their own brothers and sisters worked together to send him to the emperor's throne, who would have expected that one day he would be suspicious? Although the Emperor has now restored his trust in them, there are some things that cannot be too iron-toothed. What is going on in a person's mind is completely out of the control of outsiders. She could only sigh for the Hu family, and she couldn't do anything.

She makes up for it at home by herself. couldn't stop her sister-in-law from coming over to see her from time to time and gossiping with her for a while, and her grandmother Zhang asked her to call her over. Ask about household chores. In fact, these two just wanted to knock on the side and want to know where Zhao Wei went. He was just newly married, and he only accompanied his wife back to the door yesterday, and the wedding leave has not yet ended, and suddenly ran out early in the morning, what are you busy with? Usually Zhao Wei will say hello when he goes out, so that his grandmother or sister knows where he is going. After getting married, the object of the notification has another wife. Today, he went out without mentioning his destination at all, which is really concerning.

Zhang knew that Zhao Xiu had been talking secretly with his brother in the past two days. It seems that there is something to do, so I will inquire in front of my granddaughter: "If your brother wants to do serious things, I will never disturb him!" But how many days has he been married? Your sister-in-law is still waiting for him at home, where is he going? You have to give an explanation, right? ”

Zhao Xiu secretly wiped his sweat. hurriedly explained to the Zhang family and Mi Yingzhi: "My brother really has something important to see the prince of Guangping, I can't tell you now, but I promise you that I will tell you the truth later, okay?" ”

Mi Yingzhi smiled: "Sister doesn't need to be like this, Master Hou has something to do, just let him be busy." It's the same when I talk to my grandmother at home. ”

Zhang's got angry and sulked: "Such a good daughter-in-law." Brother Wei is still not home. Is there anything important to be busy with that I can't even say? Sister Xiu too. I just know how to help your brother. Could it be that if his grandmother knew about him, she would still shout everywhere? Why should the family hide it? ”

Zhao Xiu just smiled and didn't say anything.

Fortunately, Zhang's didn't ask any questions, and Zhao Xiu chatted with her for a while, so she left with Mi Yingzhi under the pretext that she wanted to take her sister-in-law to familiarize herself with the housework.

In fact, this is not an excuse, she really took out the account books and started the handover with Mi Yingzhi, and carefully introduced everything at home to the other party, so that the other party could slowly get started and take the middle feed over. Mi Yingzhi also understands that she has to be in charge of the family when she gets married, and it is impossible for her sister-in-law to continue to feed her when she gets married, but it is the first time she has been such a big family, and she is inevitably a little in a hurry, but fortunately, with the patience and help of her sister-in-law, she slowly adapted to it.

Before dark, Zhao Wei finally returned to the Jiannan Hou Mansion.

Gao Zhen didn't come with him, and Zhao Wei said that he had gone back to the palace. Zhang asked Zhao Wei: "What are you doing today?" Can things go well? Zhao Wei paused, smiled and said, "It's going well." He didn't mention anything else, but asked what his grandmother and wife had done that day.

After dinner, Zhao Wei gave his sister a look, and the two went to the small study in Zhao Xiu's courtyard to talk.

Zhao Xiu instructed Bihan to stay outside and not allow anyone to approach, and immediately asked Zhao Wei after closing the door: "Brother, how is it?" Will General Hu listen to your persuasion? ”

Zhao Wei said with a smile: "At first, he refused to listen, but then the prince directly tempted him with profit, which made him moved." In fact, in the final analysis, he just gave birth to the heart of clinging to power for the sake of a smooth career in the future. ”

General Hu was not originally from the northwest, but was born in Zhili, and his wife was the daughter of a small official eunuch in the capital, and the family was used to living a comfortable life in the capital. However, they have no backstage, only the old county prince is the backer, and he was transferred to the northwest, originally to increase General Hu's qualifications and military merits, and he originally thought that he would be able to return to Beijing after staying there for five or six years at most, but he never expected that the old county prince died suddenly, and this order naturally disappeared.

General Hu has been in the northwest for more than ten years, and he has also made a lot of military exploits during this period, but because he has no background and his popularity is not very good, after being promoted to the main general of a city, he can't rise any further, and he will be mistaken from time to time. He had already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he couldn't think about it. After the death of the old county prince, the ancestors and grandsons of the Zhang family were far away from the imperial court, had no power and power, and could not help him, so he had no intention of continuing to communicate; Zhao Jue's branch lost his title, but he was just a petty officer, and he didn't know that the other party had collusion with King Ying when he was far away, so he also had no contact. When King Ying was defeated, Zhao Jue died, and Zhao Wei attacked the lord, he was far away in the northwest, and it had been a few months since he got the news, and he had no chance to burn the stove. He is not like Wang Dongsheng, he still has friends in Beijing to take care of, and he was smoothly transferred back to the capital. He could only continue to stay in the northwest until last year, when he finally got the appointment.

After he returned to Beijing, he saw that the emperor was willing to use him, so he voted for the emperor to make a "lonely minister", and found that the emperor liked it very much, and he was relieved. Unexpectedly, not long after, a few thorns came to his camp in western Beijing. They are all the sons and daughters of the emperor in Beijing, and they cannot be said to be waste materials, and some of them have real materials. Helplessly disobeyed his discipline, which gave him a headache, and he couldn't afford to provoke him. One of them, born in Jiangmen, has a county lord's wife, who married the daughter of the prince, and the eldest sister married a powerful general. He himself is talented, strong in martial arts, and is still a martial artist. Parachuted into the Jingxi battalion, and only stayed in the position of a junior officer for less than two months, he was directly promoted to General Hu's adjutant general. Nominally, he only handled some chores for General Hu, but in fact he came to seize power. It's just that the qualifications are insufficient. Prestige is not enough. Only then did he temporarily succumb to General Hu.

General Hu didn't dare to offend such a person, but he was unwilling to be set aside, so he could only think of a fight. But what can he do? is a person who has no backers and no connections, and takes the route of "lonely ministers", if he wants to sue in front of the emperor, there is nothing to sue. People didn't explicitly say that they wanted to take away his power, what reason did he use to refuse a deputy who was born in the family of dragon heroes?

So. When the king of Jinyang came to the door and lured him with power. And he was tempted. If he can help King Jinyang ascend the throne, who else in Beijing would dare to override him? Those little thorns who were born high and did not obey discipline would no longer dare to take it big in front of him.

However, he actually knew in his heart that he could not fully control the strength of the Jingxi battalion, and without the emperor's will, it would be difficult for him to even mobilize more than 500 men. But this is something that King Jinyang doesn't know. General Hu intended to reach an agreement with the King of Jinyang, in fact, he was betting that the latter would be able to win the court and ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme without going through a battle of arms. At most, General Hu himself used his military power to bluff people, but in fact, he didn't plan to make a move at all. If things really come to the point where they want to use force to seize power, then it is not a legitimate succession, but a rebellion. General Hu didn't have the courage to do so.

Gao Zhen told him frankly that most of what King Jinyang told him was a lie, at least the emperor was not worried about his life at present, at most, his eye injury was not very good. But King Guangping was blind, and he was still able to stabilize the overall situation when King Ying was plotting rebellion, and waited for Jinshang to return to Beijing from Jiangnan to succeed him. At most, the emperor has lost a right eye, where can he not sit on the throne, and he needs to pass over his son and pass the throne to his half-brother? As long as the emperor will not die violently in the near future due to serious injuries, how King Rao Jinyang can boast about how much hope he has of succeeding to the throne is just a flash in the pan.

If the emperor's life is not in danger in the short term, he will not be forced to appoint the eldest son he does not like as the prince out of desperation. Since the relationship between the eldest son of the emperor and the emperor is not bad, the possibility that the emperor will choose King Jinyang to succeed to the throne is extremely low. If the king of Jinyang wants to win the military support of General Hu, he naturally has the only possibility of conspiring to seize power by force.

As soon as General Hu knew the emperor's "real" injury, his whole person fell. Gao Zhen, the prince of Guangping, and Zhao Wei, the marquis of Jiannan, came to the door, which showed that his secret was no longer a secret, and continuing to cooperate with King Jinyang would only put himself in a worse situation. He didn't need Zhao Wei's persuasion, so he took the initiative to say that he would report King Jinyang to the emperor. However, after Gao Zhen's dissuasion, he had already agreed to help set up a plan for King Jinyang.

Zhao Wei and Gao Zhen spent half a day of hard work, and finally rebelled against General Hu, and they were relieved in their hearts. Zhao Wei smiled and said to his sister: "The prince Ming'er will enter the palace to see the driver, and when the emperor nods, General Hu will set up a set for the king of Jinyang." In this way, in the eyes of the emperor, he will jump from a rebellious minister to a loyal and brave man. The prince also gave him an idea, since his lieutenant general was so good, let him come forward to write a letter of recommendation, and send people to places where there is a chance to make military merits, such as the Liaodong border and so on. That would not only solve his problem, but also win the gratitude of the general's family. Even if the family knew what he meant, they couldn't complain about anything. After all, he wrote the recommendation letter with a heart of love for talent. How can he be his deputy compared to leading an army alone? As for whether that deputy can really make military achievements in the future and rise to prominence, it depends on his own ability, and no one can pack a ticket. ”

Zhao Xiu laughed when he heard it: "This method is narrow, but it's good." General Hu didn't expect it before? ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "Even if he thinks about it, he has no connections, and he doesn't know where to recommend people." There has been a round of generals in the northwest, and his popularity there is also ordinary. But the prince spoke, at least General Fan, who was stationed in Liaodong, would not mind having one more outstanding young general under his command. ”

Gao Zhen was indeed thoughtful, Zhao Xiu praised him in his heart, and asked his brother curiously: "What kind of trap do you plan to cooperate with General Hu to set for the King of Jinyang?" ”

Zhao Wei blinked, and raised an index finger mysteriously: "Shhh When it's done, you'll know. ”

Zhao Xiu could only stare dryly. In the morning, she sold Guanzi in front of her grandmother and sister-in-law, but she didn't expect to get the newspaper so quickly. (To be continued......)
