"As the prince said, although the court and the central government are still calm on the surface, there is already an undercurrent surging below. Once the queen is gone, not only the crown prince, but I am afraid that King Jing and King Duan, who have no scruples, will act even more carelessly. There is also King Song, and Concubine De, who is standing behind him, who is currently in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces. ”

"What's more, there is the King of Shu who is hidden on the side and has been eyeing him all the time, even if you can't see through it. Although the spearhead is now pointed at the prince, the fire at the city gate may not affect the pond fish. In this battle for succession, it is difficult for you not to be involved as long as you are in the capital. Just like this assassination, it may not be that someone else kills two birds with one stone, or uses a knife to kill people. ”

"Lord Wang, one more person to discuss, the more open your mind will be. The more guards you have, the more certain your safety will be. If these people really use it, it would be better for the prince to let them play a role as soon as possible. The current strength of our British Royal Mansion is too weak, even if it is a little more powerful. Facing Huang Qiong's hesitation, Jia Quan said a little anxiously.

Facing Jia Quan's advice, Huang Qiong pondered for a while, but still said firmly: "It's better to wait for Mrs. to deal with the matter before talking about anything else, now this king really doesn't have that mood and energy." As for what the gentleman said, this king still understands it. Sir, rest assured, as long as it is a talent, the king will strive for it. But there are some things that this king still needs to think about more. ”

"However, before the king decides to see them, the gentleman can have more contact with them, and be sure to touch their character. It is estimated that the capital will be in chaos for a while, and Mr. told them not to go out for a while. What is missing, as long as it is not too much, Mr. arranges someone to help buy it. ”

"In these things in the house, the gentleman is in charge, and there is no need to ask for instructions on everything. As long as the gentleman thinks it is right, just do it. Or that sentence, if the gentleman can't believe it, who else can this king trust? In addition, the drought situation in Longyou and Shaanxi, Mr. should also pay more attention. ”

"Some time ago, although the king knocked out some money and food from the mouths of those clans, he was in urgent need. But Ben Wang always felt that those people would not honestly hand over the promised money and food. Now that the beginning of autumn is approaching, there is always a feeling of unsteadiness in the heart of this king. Shaanxi Road is not enough, but there are mixed Han places in Longyou, once something happens, it will be chaos. ”

Huang Qiong's command, Jia Quan could only smile bitterly: "Lord Wang, you also know the thoughts of being an official in this world." If half of the things they report to the court are true, they are already worthy of the money issued by the court. I'm afraid that now except for the emperor who has a secret fold, it will be difficult for the imperial court to get real news unless it is the time of the real autumn harvest. ”

However, there is some understanding of this matter. According to a friend of Quan's in the household department, the Hanzhong area of Shaanxi Road is better, and the drought is mainly concentrated in northern Shaanxi and Qinchuan, which are 800 miles away. Ningxia Mansion and Longdong area in Longyou can now be described as thousands of miles of red land, and there is no need to wait for the autumn, and the harvest has become a foregone conclusion. And the key now is that the Guanzhong Plain is also very badly affected. ”

"In the past, no matter how big the natural disasters occurred on the second road of Shaanxi and Longyou, as long as the Guanzhong Plain, the main grain-producing area in the northwest, was not affected by the disaster, it could not become a real disaster. The grain transferred from Guanzhong alone can meet most of the disaster relief needs. The field needs to transfer grain, and it does not need to be transferred much. ”

"But the disaster suffered by Qinchuan in the past eight hundred miles this year not only made it impossible to transfer grain, but even needed a lot of relief from the imperial court. If there is no snow in winter, next year's harvest will be in jeopardy. In addition, in northern Shaanxi, the harvest of seventy percent of the land in Longdong and Ningxia Prefecture in Longyou is already a foregone conclusion, and the pressure on the imperial court this time is not ordinarily great. Hanzhong alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support. ”

"Erlu has always been a place of great morality for the people, if the imperial court disaster relief is not timely, Quan is also worried that there will be chaos in the northwest. Especially in Longyou and northern Shaanxi, to the north is the departments of the Northwest Unified Army Division of Northern Liao. Yan'an Mansion was affected, and the situation in Northern Liao, which is connected by mountains and rivers beyond the Great Wall, will not be optimistic. ”

"Those nomadic tribes have always had a tradition of going south to raid to save themselves from disasters. In previous years, when there were no disasters and no difficulties, we were naturally not afraid of how many cavalry from Northern Liao went south. But this year is different from previous years, if the northwest of our Great Qi falls into civil strife, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the imperial court to concentrate on dealing with the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry going south. ”

"Besides, Lord Wang, don't forget that there is a feud in the northwest of the imperial court. Quan once talked to Song Zhizhao, and he once mentioned it to Quan, although the party is now divided by the imperial court, but after decades of reproduction, it has now recovered slightly. Now among the party tribes of Ningxia Prefecture, there is another leader who can be called a hero. ”

This person has great ambitions and never forgets to restore the glory of the party members in the northwest. It has been through marriage to rectify the party departments in Ningxia Prefecture. After more than ten years of painstaking management, a large force has been formed in Ningxia Prefecture. Almost all the party departments in Ningxia Prefecture are now looking at this person.

"Although the current vitality is far inferior to the Dingyan army of the year, it is also very different from the scattered sand during the years of Taizong and Gaozong, which were slaughtered by the imperial court. Although the current strength is still very weak compared to the imperial court, once it takes time, it will become a big trouble for the imperial court. If the northwest is really in turmoil, it is very likely that this person will take advantage of the chaos to rebel. ”

Jia Quan's words fell, and Huang Qiong's face couldn't help but darken. Although he knocked out so much money and food, the problem is that if a rat poop is not done well, it will spoil a pot of soup. What's more, it's not a rat at this time, but a group of rats that are eyeing it there.

I tried hard to advise, but my stubborn emperor Lao Tzu couldn't listen to it at all. If something really happens, what will it cost to calm down? The history of the last dynasty of the Han nationality that he was familiar with in his previous life was not because of three points of natural disasters and seven points of seven disasters, which finally caused the sinking of Shenzhou.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong sighed and said: "This king is worried about this, so he hopes that Mr. can use all his connections to get close to the situation of the second road disaster relief." You can't save money in this area, and you must be generous when you should spend money. We can't just let the horses run and not give them fodder. ”

"And we can't always rely on King Yong, we should have our own sources. Although these people are not of high grade, they still have a set of well-informed aspects. In this regard, Mr. should be more generous. There are grades and people with both ability and political integrity, Mr. pulled out a list, and this king wants to think of a way, and if he should push it up, he still has to push it. ”

"For the rest, we can only say that we will do our best. Right now, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and we still can't hide from what should come. It's just that we can't be blacked out in such two eyes, and the matter has been found, and we don't know anything yet. was caught off guard and could only respond passively. ”

"As for the assassination of this king, the old man will not make a big deal on the surface. The old man has been a gentleman for many years, and he still takes face things very seriously. If this matter is known to the whole world, where should he put his face? And how he checks in private, it's not something we can control. Sir, you still have to have a number in your heart. ”

Facts have proved that although Huang Qiong's prediction is not 100% correct, his judgment of the character of the emperor Lao Tzu is still roughly accurate. Although the emperor took advantage of this incident to make a big move in the court. The forces that the kings had painstakingly built up were torn apart. But for Huang Qiong's assassination, on the surface, there was a lot of thunder and little rain.

After ordering each department to strictly investigate, there was no follow-up. made it clear that he didn't want to make a big deal about it. If the emperor behaves like this, the people below will naturally comprehend the holy will. This earth-shattering case has a bit of an inconclusive meaning on the surface. But in private, the emperor attaches great importance to it.

His own pro-army has been infiltrated, which is something he has never had in more than ten years as a king. As Huang Qiong said, this time the knife fell on his son, and next time it may not be. Especially now, when several sons who are involved in the battle for succession have red eyes, the emperor doesn't dare to really act like he is nothing.

From ancient times to the present, it is a precedent for the emperor to want a good death, but there are countless precedents. It's one thing whether the prince wants to be Li Jiancheng or not, but the emperor obviously doesn't want to be Tang Gaozu. Therefore, although on the surface, although the thunder is loud and the rain is small, the emperor can investigate it very harshly in private.

At least after Huang Qiong's assassination, the crown prince was directly confined in the palace and was not allowed to return to the East Palace until more than ten days later. The people of the Northern and Southern Towns in Beijing were almost all dispatched to closely monitor the surroundings of the kings' mansions. The kings in Beijing, including the king of Shu who rushed back from Chengdu to serve the sick, were strictly restricted and monitored, and they were not allowed to leave the palace for half a step.

For these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, this kind of monitoring and control is not pleasant. What's more, this time, the old man took advantage of the topic to play and made a mess of the situation they worked hard to manage in the DPRK. The connections he painstakingly built, the demotion of officials, and the dismissal of dismissals, all of these princes have suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the large amount of money that was smashed before has almost become a river of spring water. Although he didn't dare to say anything on the surface, he scolded the person who caused the accident in his heart. Although they almost lost their lives to Huang Qiong's assassination, most people were secretly happy. Even hoped that Huang Qiong would be seriously injured and die, and there were not a few who drove the crane westward directly.

But after he suffered an unwarranted disaster, his mentality changed very quickly. From the previous schadenfreude, it turned into scolding in a blink of an eye. There are even some suspicious people who think of the scene that the emperor and Huang Qiong did together in the Wende Palace. thinks that this assassination of Huang Qiong was planned by the old man to clean up the court bureau, and he joined forces with that damn guy to do the buckle.

After all, Huang Qiong was assassinated, and no one had ever seen it. What does the injury look like, is it really like the legendary almost desperate to be seriously injured, or is it a that no one has seen? Riding out of a horse and falling off the horse, scratching a little skin is also called an assassination, and some of these princes have not done it.

And Chen Yao's death is not something worth mentioning in their eyes. A concubine from an ordinary palace maid is just a concubine, and she is not a concubine from a famous family, so it is normal to use it as a chess piece when needed. If you don't carry out this palace that year, how many or a dozen palace maids died in vain?

Among the palace maids who were carried out, there were not one or two former confidants and palace maids who committed the master's taboo beside a certain master. Therefore, there are one or two people, in the case of comparing hearts to hearts, thinking that this is a partnership between the emperor and Huang Qiong, father and son. Chen Yao's death was just a drama in their hearts.
