The foreign surname is Wang Jue, the first nobleman, with these two points alone, Xiao Jinxuan no longer needs to promise anything else, it is enough to make Qian Yunhong listen to it enthusiastically.

But even though Qian Yunhong's ambition was hooked, he was also a cautious person, so he asked again carelessly:

"Xiao Jinxuan, I want to know, there are countless mansions in this Jingshi Hou, and my Qian family's qi is declining now, and it has no momentum back then. Why didn't you choose the Qing'an Houfu to form an alliance, nor did you choose other clans that are not weak to join forces, but you chose me Qian Yunhong. Between the two of us, although we are old friends, after all, there have been grudges, and you do not dare to believe all of them. ”

Xiao Jinxuan drank tea leisurely, and she did not ridicule Qian Yunhong's caution, but felt more satisfied.

After all, the other party is now the master of the entire Guogong Mansion, and if Qian Yunhong loses his mind in front of the interest title, he doesn't think about the pros and cons, so he happily agrees.

Then Xiao Jinxuan may have to consider whether it is time to change the person who joins forces.

Therefore, after Xiao Jinxuan put down the teacup, she smiled gently, and explained patiently:

"The reason why I chose you Qian Yunhong is because I, Xiao Jinxuan, know a truth very well, that is, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. That Qingping Houfu seems to be in power at the moment, but it is just a favor of the upstart, and there is no foundation at all. And your Qian family is different, although it seems to be decayed. But your forces have been gathering little by little since the Xue family was in power in the Prime Minister's Mansion. So Qian Yunhong's opportunity is in front of you, do you want to avoid this party struggle, or take out your potential strength to form an alliance with me, how to choose, I hope you will give me an answer immediately. After all, this princess is very busy now, and there are other important things waiting for me to do in a while. ”

knew that Xiao Jinxuan had given an ultimatum, but Qian Yunhong's mind was still quickly weighing the pros and cons, and he didn't dare to give the reply easily.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to get involved in the party struggle, it's just that the Qian family has followed and worked for Xue Xiangfu, so in this case.

As a result, after Qian Yunhong took the past power, Xue Yi, compared with the current Empress Dowager Chen and Zhou Xianyu, he really felt that it was difficult for him to convince him to follow and be loyal on both sides.

After all, with the strength of Empress Xue back then, Emperor Ming had to give three points to each other, and he had followed this kind of scheming master.

On the other hand, Empress Chen or Zhou Xianyu, it is indeed difficult for Qian Yunhong to respect from his heart.

Even though Zhou Xianyu is known as the king of war, Qian Yunhong is not a military general, he wants to find a master who is good at scheming, not a brave general.

And he has personally experienced how terrible Xiao Jinxuan is in terms of strategy, Qian Yunhong, in fact, he does not resist being loyal to the other party.

Therefore, after thinking about it, I saw Qian Yunhong suddenly stand up, and then arched his hand and said:

"Back then, after the princess abolished the Empress Dowager Xue Yi and personally executed her, everyone said that you were even stronger than the other party in terms of mental strategy compared to this empress dowager. Therefore, Xiao Hou still has one more thing to hope that the princess will tell me clearly, whether you are here today on behalf of yourself or the regent. If I am loyal to you, I will definitely do my best to go to the soup and fire. But if you are a lobbyist for the regent, then I am afraid that you will be disappointed. ”

Qian Yunhong's attitude has been shown very clearly, and Xiao Jinxuan is not a person who twists, so when she saw her, she immediately said:

"So far, the prince doesn't know that Changde is Xiao Jinxuan's business. And I also have my own old ministry to drive, which is a third-party force between the two parties, and I have not been mixed with the prince. I know very well your worries, you are afraid that he will one day not rebel against the chaos, right, if you follow him, you will inevitably end up with a rebellious minister and thief through the ages. But don't worry, let's not say that the emperor will definitely not do such a disobedient thing. And loyal to me, your Huai'an Hou Mansion is also hidden in the shadows, I only need your support and help, and I will not let you rush to the front and become the target of public criticism. ”

Xiao Jinxuan now holds 200,000 town ** regiments, and Zhou Xianchen, the government affairs of the court bureau, is now living in the regent palace, so she can be said to have suppressed Empress Chen to the death.

But Xiao Jinxuan knows one thing clearly, in addition to the military power and court situation, another factor that can affect the entire situation is those famous families who have been knighted for their merits since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

These people represent all the aristocratic forces of the Great Zhou, and although most of them are powerless, their influence is extremely far-reaching.

Back then, Empress Chen was able to listen to politics because of the support of many nobles.

Zhou Xianchen was rejected many times, which was also the result of the joint admonition of these nobles under the traction of Qing Pinghou.

And Xiao Jinxuan teamed up with Qian Yunhong to hope that the other party would rely on the influence of the Huai'an Hou Mansion in the past.

In the matter of Zhou Xianchen's pro-government in the future, he united with the aristocratic forces to help and support, Xiao Jinxuan expected that Chen Hou would be resolutely difficult to stop.

After getting Xiao Jinxuan's assurance, the next thing is also in no suspense.

Qian Yunhong, who was looking for a good master to follow and look for an opportunity to turn over, hit it off immediately, and immediately knelt down on one knee to express his allegiance.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was also very satisfied with this, talked with the other party about a cup of tea.

and instructed the other party to actively contact the nobles of all parties, and after supporting at any time when necessary, she did not wait long, got up and left.

Out of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan got into the carriage, but she did not return to the Regent's Mansion immediately, but asked softly through the curtain of the car:

"Bai Chu has done what I told you just now, that little pity can be quiet, didn't you alarm Lin Qingsui and bring it back."

As soon as she finished asking, she heard Bai Chu's respectful voice, which immediately came in from outside.

"Master, don't worry, before you enter the Huai'an Hou Mansion, you instructed your subordinates to go down to find Su Qi, and asked the other party to keep an eye on Lin Qingsui while trying to find a way to catch that little pity. Now that someone has brought it, are you going back to see her? ”

Bai Chu's ability to do things, Xiao Jinxuan naturally knew it, and immediately smiled slightly, she immediately said:

"You don't have to wait until you go home, bring that little mercy to my carriage, I think you are guarding outside, and the other party will not dare to make a mistake."

Xiao Jinxuan ordered this, and soon a struggling sack was thrown into the carriage.

Waiting for Xiao Jinxuan to signal that the carriage could move on, she then untied the hemp rope on the bag with her own hands.

Then under the pseudonym Xiao Lian, Mei Ji, who served beside Qing Sui, the embarrassed appearance of her hands tied and her mouth blocked suddenly caught Xiao Jinxuan's eyes.

Smiling slightly, Xiao Jinxuan took it out of her arms, and Xiao Yunyan gave her the sharp dagger when she was in Beirong, and then ignored Mei Ji's desperate struggle.

She got up and stepped forward, and then untied the rope from the other's hand, and then sat down again, and said:

"Take the rag off your mouth, and you need not be afraid, if I want to kill you, I don't need to do it myself. Although I don't know why you took refuge in Ji Lingfeng, why you took the name of Mei Ji. But Ye is still your real name, the daughter of Jiangzhou Mansion Yin has been reduced to a fine work, if your parents have spirits in the sky, Miss Ye has thought that they will be proud of you. ”

Today, Mei Ji did accompany Lin Qingsui, and according to the requirements of the secret letter, she came out to meet with Xiangping, who wanted to see them.

And that silk village is Ji Lingfeng's secret stronghold, in order not to arouse suspicion, Qingsui went inside to talk and meet on the pretext of trying on clothes.

As for Mei Ji, just like an ordinary maid, staying outside is actually the wind.

As a result, Qingsui didn't come out for a long time, and she was bored waiting for a while, so she walked out of the silk village to prepare for breathing.

As soon as he didn't want to go out, he was directly put into a sack, and then he was taken to Xiao Jinxuan.

Originally, when she saw Xiao Jinxuan, she had already thought that her and Lin Qingsui's identities must have been exposed.

Even Mei Ji is ready, tortured, and even killed.

But Xiao Jinxuan's words just now completely made her heart feel like death instantly excited.

Then I saw Maggie shaking her head, and even losing her temper to the point of hoarseness, and glaring and shouting:

"Impossible, how do you know that my real name is Ye Yi, and even my father's official title is clear to you. But Princess Changde, don't think that you can blackmail me by mastering this. My Ye family has already been beheaded, even if you know that me and Qingsui are Ji Dugong's people, he has a great favor to me, you don't want to ask anything from me. ”

In the face of Meiji's tough and uncooperative attitude, Xiao Jinxuan was not angry, but said regretfully:

"Miss Ye, I once heard people say that there is a kind of person in this world who is the most unfilial, and that is to recognize a thief as a father. And now I feel that there is another kind of person in this world who is not only not hateful, but makes people feel pitiful. That's the one who helped kill your father and the enemy, and did all kinds of bad things. Back then, your father was a clean official, but because he reported the superior officials, he was framed as a person who embezzled and took bribes, and then he ended up in a different place. ”

Every time Xiao Jinxuan said a word, Mei Ji's eyes widened a little, and the tears were even more because of the thought of the tragic death of the old father and the Manchu family, and the love dripped uncontrollably.

Looking at Mei Ji's appearance, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed with sympathy, but she just paused for a moment, and after asking the other party to ease her emotions, she continued:

"I'm afraid that Miss Ye only knows that her father was wronged and beheaded, but I'm afraid you don't know that Lord Ye's direct boss back then was a protégé of the Xue family of the Prime Minister's Mansion. And although Ji Lingfeng is now being corrected, he is the meritorious minister who was exposed by Prince Tai Mo Zhi back then. But these are just the protection of Empress Chen, if Ji Lingfeng is really a hero, why did Emperor Qi kill him back then. Whether it is true or not, I will not argue with you, I will show you the file of that year, as well as the documents that Ji Lingfeng personally issued to the officials of various provinces when he defected to the Xue family. Miss Ye has to look carefully, and when you recognize the enemy and me, it is not too late for this princess to talk to you in detail. ”

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan directly opened a small mahogany box placed beside her in the carriage.

Then he handed the information of Ji Lingfeng's investigation by the hidden guards back then, as well as the intercepted letters from the other party, all of which were handed to Mei Ji's eyes.

And now she should be called Ye Yi's charm, when she read the letter one by one with trembling hands.

A heart-rending cry, mixed with endless remorse, came out of her mouth sharply.
