Chapter 601: The two ministers help each other
Xiao Jinxuan's sudden appearance, although Guo Yi was surprised for a moment, she quickly returned to her natural expression and greeted her.
On the other hand, Meng Mian didn't expect that Xiao Jinxuan, whom they had just mentioned, would already be in the Guo Mansion the next moment.
Meng Mian is by no means a stupid person, he is just not good at power, so after thinking about it, he immediately figured out everything.
"No wonder Niangniang talked to me about Master Guo many times, and compared adults to think tanks. Meng Mian was ashamed and didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary porridge outside your mansion was actually sent to Mrs. Zun to answer Niangniang. Although you and I are very likely to be monitored by Empress Chen in secret, ****** a female streamer is indeed not so noticeable. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who had already been welcomed into the hall and sat down at the top, immediately chuckled and said:
"Prime Minister Meng Cheng will call me the county lord with Guo Yi, I have nothing to do with Da Zhou, so don't mention the word Niangniang again."
As she spoke, Xiao Jinxuan called Zhou Yi, who was led by Dani, to her side, and then handed a piece of pastry to the child.
Seeing Xiao Zhou Yi gobbling it up, he knew that Xiao Jinxuan had indeed suffered this child in the past two days.
The brows couldn't help frowning, I really couldn't bear the other party's young age and continued to suffer with her.
And in order to protect Chiling's child and let the other party grow up carefree, except for a few people, like Meng Mian Guo Yi, they all thought that Xiao Zhou Yi was Zhou Xianrui's concubine.
Therefore, seeing the etiquette of Meng Mian to meet the prince, after bowing first, he immediately said indignantly:
"Empress Dowager Chen is really excessive, obviously the first emperor still has a prince, although this child's status is not high, but after all, he is the son recognized by the first emperor. But the Queen Mother was good, directly ignoring the child and supporting King Chen to ascend the throne. This is simply messing up the discipline of the imperial court, and what is the difference between usurping the throne and taking over the government. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan was just about to open her mouth to explain Zhou Yi's life experience and the reasons why this child was not of royal blood.
But after thinking about it, Zhou Yi, who has always regarded Zhou Xianrui as his father, will inevitably be traumatized in his young heart.
And now that Zhou Xianchen has ascended the throne, there is no need to bring up the old things about Xiao Zhou Yi's life experience.
So Xiao Jinxuan stopped talking about it, and then changed her words and said with a smile:
"Yi'er grew up by my side since she was a child, and this child is stubborn and young, and it is indeed not suitable for inheriting the throne. And King Chen is elegant and filial piety, and he will be a benevolent lord in the future. So I just want to leave Jingshi with Yi'er, so that he will not be involved in the imperial power and become a victim. ”
As soon as she heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, Guo Yi almost didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said:
"Now that King Chen has ascended the throne, everything is a foregone conclusion. But once the prince returns, the situation is bound to change. But now that you, the county lord, are guilty of poisoning the king, there is no place for you to stand in this Jingshi and even the entire Great Zhou. Therefore, Guo Yi dared to ask, there were rumors in the market before, saying that you were born in the Beirong royal family, so I didn't know if the county lord would go to Beirong for temporary refuge. ”
As soon as Zhou Xianyu was mentioned, a hint of softness flashed in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, but then she couldn't help but say worriedly:
"If I stay in Jingshi, the first thing I will do when I come back will definitely be to redress my grievances. But now that Empress Chen is in power, the new emperor ascended the throne and the situation is turbulent, and the two of them may not know that the masked chamberlain who followed the **** by Xiangping's side was Ji Lingfeng, the first strategist of Prince Tai back then. So it's not that I didn't want to stay and wait for the Emperor to come back, but doing so would put the Emperor in passivity. So I did intend to return to Beijung, and the rumors were true. ”
Guo Yihui has always called Xiao Jinxuan the county lord, one is because he knows that the other party and Zhou Xianrui have never been husband and wife.
Another reason is because he passed through the harem, Xiao Jinxuan was suppressed and quiet.
has already guessed that the rumors are true, and the other party is the royal lord of Beirong, so he will continue to call it like this.
And Meng Mian, who has never been swayed by gossip, has always treated those words as just words that seriously hurt Xiao Jinxuan.
But after hearing the other party's frank admission, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinxuan in astonishment for a while.
It is unimaginable that this former handsome woman would have such an unusual background and noble bloodline.
Although Xiao Jinxuan's identity has changed, whether it is Guo Yi, who already knows it, or Meng Mian, who was unexpected, they still choose to help each other at this time after giving each other a new gift.
After all, putting aside the hostility between the two countries, Xiao Jinxuan has a sense of cooperation and salvation for these two important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, when Xiao Jinxuan told all the things about the situation in the palace, and that Empress Chen was actually a chess piece, and that the person who was really behind the layout was Ji Lingfeng.
Guo Yi and Meng Mian also told her clearly about the deaths of Zhou Xianrui and Shen Wenqing, which Xiao Jinxuan did not fully understand.
After the two parties put things together like this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but take it out of her arms, and her tears fell from the **** holy decree sent by Zhou Xianrui.
She would cry because Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect this holy decree to be Shen Wenqing's life in exchange.
And she didn't expect that Zhou Xianrui, a conscientious generation of holy masters.
In the end, she died so desolately, in the end, it was an old friend, and she would inevitably feel sad and unbearable in her heart.
Although Zhou Xianrui did once quiet her, he even had to die.
But Xiao Jinxuan knew that the starting point of all this was for the sake of the court and the society, and there was no personal grudge in it.
So although Xiao Jinxuan was annoyed that Zhou Xianrui didn't believe her, she didn't hate the other party at all.
Therefore, after calming down this feeling of nostalgia and sadness, the hatred for Xiangping and Empress Chen in her heart added a lot of Xiao Jinxuan again, and she immediately said:
"Now I can't stay in Da Zhou, so I'm going to return to Beirong, find my identity, and then use the forces between countries to help Xianyu get rid of Empress Chen's mother and daughter. Then Xianchen can be pro-government, and he doesn't have to be a puppet emperor. But to get to that point, the two adults need to do something for me. ”
Empress Chen was in power and touched the previous dynasty, and Guo Yi and Meng Mian were also worried about this, but as the queen mother, it was difficult for them to trip each other.
Therefore, if Xiao Jinxuan returns to Beirong and joins forces with Zhou Xianyu inside and outside, they can indeed suppress those forces that support Empress Chen, then they are also happy to see it.
After all, now Xiangping is going to marry the Shuai Mansion, the older generation of the Xiao family is dead, and Xiao Yiming, the new head of the family, has already stood on the side of Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter because of this in-law relationship.
In addition, the news that Xiao Jinxuan poisoned Zhou Xianrui was released a few days ago, and Empress Dowager Chen appeased the Shuai Mansion again, and did not convict the Xiao family.
This move made Xiao Yiming even more grateful, so Empress Chen, who gradually had the support of the Shuai Mansion, now not only stretched out her hand to the court, but even the army of the Great Zhou, with the Xiao family in her, she actually controlled nearly half of it.
Therefore, in this case, even if Zhou Xianyu returns to Beijing, he may not be able to win with full certainty of using force.
Therefore, if you can get the support of Beirong, or borrow its strong iron cavalry army, then this will undoubtedly be a great reliance on the defeat of Empress Chen.
Politically, there is no such thing as a permanently hostile state.
Therefore, out of trust in Xiao Jinxuan, Guo Yi and Meng Mian couldn't help but be clear about the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they saw hope again.
So without any hesitation, the two of them immediately asked what they were going to help with.
And when Xiao Jinxuan hid in the city in the past few days, she had already thought of a countermeasure, so when she saw her, she immediately said:
"Although Empress Chen is ambitious, he lacks strategy. Therefore, the relationship between her and Xiangping caused Ji Lingfeng to be unable to easily influence the Chen family's decision, so it was not difficult to get out of the city. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but look at Guo Yi, and then continued with a gentle smile:
"If you want this discordant plan to succeed, then you must have Lao Guoyi's sharp mouth. At that time, you only need to ask Empress Chen to feel that in addition to Xiangping, in fact, you courtiers are also willing to share each other's worries. And saw the allegiance of the other party clearly, and even helped him arrest me. As long as you can say that Empress Chen, let her think that I, Xiao Jinxuan, may have escaped from the Jingshi. And you have received definite news that you will go out of the city and capture me personally. At that time, Guo Yi, you can leave Beijing logically, and it will not be difficult to take me out of the city. ”
After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan looked at Meng Mian again, and then the light in her eyes flashed, and her voice was full of scheming and calculation:
"Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knows that Prime Minister Meng Cheng is upright and upright, and you are also the first to stand up against Empress Chen's power. So if you want Guo Yi to gain Empress Chen's trust, when you leave Guo's mansion for a while, you have to stand in front of the mansion and reprimand the other party. The more ruthless you scold, the more it will reach Empress Chen's ears, and the greater the chance that Guo Yi will be trusted. And if you two believe me, then in the court in the future, you will protect each other from persecution. After all, only by enduring humiliation for a while can you have a chance to survive the day when you stumble over the traitor. Now that the situation in the court has been turbulent, you loyal and patriotic courtiers are sacrificing, and the Great Zhou is really about to decline. ”
Xiao Jinxuan has now escaped from the palace and is charged with killing the king, if she wants to make a comeback, it is no longer possible for anyone in the Great Zhou to help her.
So return to Beirong, find the identity that should belong to her, and then rely on her home country to help.
She had the opportunity to deal with Xiangping and others again, and personally avenge Wen Xin, Shen Wenqing and others.
Even if this road is bound to be full of hardships, it is unknown whether it can succeed, but this is Xiao Jinxuan's only chance now.
After all, she still has unsolved hidden dangers of poison, she has no time to waste, let alone drag Zhou Xianyu down, in order to avenge her, she personally attacked Empress Chen and others.
Otherwise, no matter what the justice and axioms are, now that Zhou Xianchen has ascended the throne and become the emperor, if Zhou Xianyu sends troops, he will inevitably become a rebellious minister and thief.
How to win or lose, the infamy of this future generation is not lost, Xiao Jinxuan's own revenge, she will repay it with her own hands, and she will never want to cause Zhou Xianyu to lose his reputation.
And after Xiao Jinxuan discussed with Guo Yi and Meng Mian for a long time, the two of them settled down and began to act.
As for Xiao Jinxuan, although Guo Fu can't avoid it, and may be searched by Ji Lingfeng's people, at least it is still safe.
So be careful, she didn't have a good rest for three days, and finally got a rare respite after bathing and changing.
So after the sky was about to get dark, Xiao Jinxuan was in the secret room arranged for her by Dani.
It is rare to completely relax the tense emotions and fall asleep deeply.
