Chapter 190: There's Fraud in It

Jiang Xuan returned drunk, vomited, and woke up in the early hours of the morning, but the headache made it difficult for him to sleep. Thinking about what he heard at the banquet yesterday, he was even more upset, he didn't expect that so many things would happen in the Shuai Mansion after he left, and His Highness was actually forced to the point of resigning. If he was here, all this might not have happened, thinking of this, Jiang Xuan was even more annoyed, and felt that he had failed the Queen Mother's feelings of trust, and his uncle's teachings had also ruined His Royal Highness's revival plan.

"It's too late to say anything!" Jiang Xuan sighed secretly with his forehead, the basket he stabbed this time was too big, and with his uncle's character, he would never say a word for himself, and he would advocate beheading himself with military justice, so that no one could save him, and his ambition and hatred would disperse.

As for the outcome he was about to face, Jiang Xuan knew when Gao Yingsong and Zhuang Gongzhe arrived. Gao Yingsong was sentenced all the way, and he was responsible for supervising and interrogating illegal officials, and he was in the same position as himself, so he must have come to investigate and prosecute himself. And that Zhuang Gongzhe is the eldest brother of Zhuang Siqi, the commander of the rear army, and he was sent to accompany him precisely to stabilize the rear army and cut off his idea of rebellion. This arrangement is also in line with His Royal Highness's thoughtful and thoughtful style of doing everything, and he is already in a catastrophe.

"Take the blame!" Jiang Xuan sighed and muttered. His Royal Highness trusted himself and let himself preside over the relocation of Qiongzhou, but he led his troops out halfway, leaving a mess. From this, he could imagine how angry His Highness would be, so that he wrote to His Highness several times to ask for guilt, but he refused to reply a word, thinking that he had regarded himself as a rebel, but this could only blame himself for being in the first place.

Jiang Xuan is not stupid, he doesn't know what the consequences of sending troops to Leizhou will be, but at this time, he has nothing to regret except for feeling worthy of His Highness's trust and the generals of the Hou Army who died in battle. He paid off the debt to the Zeng family at such a big price, so that Zeng Yuanzi could no longer use this to blackmail the Jiang family, and after that, the two families had nothing to do with Qiaoguiqiao and Luguilu.

But thinking of His Royal Highness's resignation, Jiang Xuan was still very distressed. In his heart, King Wei was the only hope for the revival of the Great Song Dynasty, and it took great pains and twists and turns to open Qiongzhou. He believed that according to his plan, he would be able to gain a foothold in Qiongzhou, and with the help of Taoguang and his elite troops, he would be able to have the ability to fight the enemy in a few years, which would be stronger than rashly attacking now, so as to exhaust the last bit of essence and blood of the Great Song Dynasty. But it was precisely because of his unauthorized departure that the strength of the Shuaifu was greatly reduced, which made it difficult for His Highness's plan to be implemented smoothly, forcing him to withdraw gloomily.

Jiang Xuan, who was guilty, shifted all his thoughts to His Royal Highness at this moment, thinking about what his plans would be after losing the throne, whether to return to the dynasty or stay in Qiongzhou temporarily?

He knew that the Shuai Mansion was not monolithic, but a combination of several forces, among which the volunteers escorted by Quanzhou and the group of patients on the plague ship were the most trusted by him, but the strength of the Shuai Mansion was not the most powerful after several expansions; In addition, there were the Fujian Yiyong and Hainan soldiers transferred by the imperial court before leaving, and after taking Guangzhou, there were the Yiyong and Chen Zeweng brothers' righteous troops led by themselves and some of the surrendered troops that were absorbed, and all parties were basically evenly matched, and no one could occupy an absolute advantage.

Now these people can be together without incident, mainly because of the existence of His Highness. This is not only His Royal Highness's noble status is regarded by everyone as an agent of the royal family, but also his unique personal charm, which can bring everyone together through different means, which can be said to be the glue of the Shuaifu, and no one can replace the status. If His Royal Highness is only removed from his post, people can still stay in Qiongzhou, and the Shuai Mansion will not be separated, at least it will maintain the unity on the surface, but ......

"What did he say?" Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered that when the banquet ended, Gao Yingsong was parallel to himself, as if he had said something to himself when he said goodbye, but because he had drunk too much wine, he couldn't remember it for a while, he knocked on his forehead and tried to piece together the memory fragments before he completely lost consciousness, trying to restore the scene at that time.

"It seems that the person recommended by His Royal Highness is not from the Shuaifu......" Jiang Xuan recalled every detail before the two separated, Gao Yingsong held his arm, the two of them drank a lot and supported each other to avoid falling, but they fell behind everyone, and he really couldn't remember what he said with a mouthful of wine, but he remembered that he seemed to be afraid that others would hear it, and muttered in his ear.

"Why did he tell himself this?" Jiang Xuan remembered that he had discussed this matter in the banquet, Gao Yingsong and Zhuang Gongzhe refused to say a word, and in the end, Zhuang Siqi relayed it, but he didn't say who His Royal Highness recommended. Zeng Yuanzi later tried to get a talk from the two of them, but he was busy in vain. Gao Yingsong, although Jiang Xuan has not dealt with him much, and the contact time is less than a month, he can also see that he is not an unprincipled person, and he will never speak nonsense without purpose, and he secretly told himself that this inside information must have a purpose.

"Why don't you use the old man in the Shuai Mansion? Unless......" Jiang Xuan was a little puzzled by His Highness's intentions. It is said that His Royal Highness resigned, and with his character, he would definitely not let the fertile water flow to the fields of outsiders. And if he has to resign, he will let his henchmen succeed him, and he will manipulate everything behind the scenes. Another possibility is to promote a random person, make him a scapegoat, and find an irrelevant person to do it in order not to hurt the muscles and bones of the house. Unless His Royal Highness was caught for his shortcomings and was forced to give up his seat to him in order to protect himself.

Jiang Xuan pondered that it was not right, the Shuai Mansion was not a few people, but nearly 100,000 people, and they had already undergone two trainings, so it was impossible for a large-scale dismissal to occur. To rectify the rule of officials is also aimed at the Qiongzhou region, but under the pressure of the army, the local soldiers in Qiongzhou are less than 1,000, what kind of chaos can happen? Even if the forced conscription of the people caused a riot, it would have enough strength to quickly quell it, and it would not be able to achieve the purpose of resigning for this reason. Besides, His Highness is accustomed to being driven by money, and if he can't recruit people, he will use money to buy people.

Jiang Xuan pondered for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: His Royal Highness's resignation was not because of civil strife in the Shuaifu or local turmoil, but because he was coerced. But he couldn't figure out who could threaten His Highness and force him to make such a big concession. Qiongzhou is headed by Zhao Heluo, who may be dissatisfied with His Highness's rectification of the rule of officials and threatens himself and makes trouble, but although he is said to be a local snake, where can he suppress the real dragon of His Highness. In addition to him, the only one who can be on the stage is Zeng Yuanzi in front of him, but the two have no intersection?

"Could it be that Your Highness is here to save me?" Jiang Xuan suddenly struck a wit when he thought of this, isn't he the weakness of His Highness at present...... (To be continued.) )
