Chapter 172: It's worth a lot to say this reason
"Although the intelligence network is the largest intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, they are focused on the affairs of the rivers and lakes after all, although they are also involved in the affairs of the court, but the analysis of the situation in the capital is definitely not as good as ours in this small place." Looking at the prince's eyes, the girl then spoke, "Since His Highness has said such happy words, I will naturally not disappoint His Highness!" ”
Han Luyun could see that the prince didn't want to pay much attention to this woman, so he took over the conversation, "Since the girl has already spoken to this point, it is better to tell the news, so that we can weigh whether it is worth the price in our hearts!" ”
"This is naturally easy to say, since Han Gongzi has spoken, how can I refuse!" The girl smiled, "I met the people on the other side of the intelligence network a few days ago, and they also mentioned a few words about Zhao Shangshu, naturally, the news that the two of you received was exactly the same." It's just that compared to the piece of paper that the two of them got, we have a comprehensive analysis here, and we get more results. ”
After a short pause, seeing that the prince and Han Luyun both had expressions that they just wanted to listen to, the girl didn't waste any more time, and slowly said what she knew, "This Zhao Shangshu is not a simple character himself, his father is the previous Hubu Shangshu, and he is quite upright, but he is too spoiled by the children in the family, speaking of which, I think of a news I heard many years ago, the daughter of the previous Hubu Shangshu, that is, Zhao Shangshu's sister, But he had a fight with the lady in the General's Mansion, and later the eldest man of the Feng family went to trouble the Shangshu because of this matter, and this Shangshu should have sat down comfortably in his position, but because of this incident, the emperor was disappointed in him, so he had to resign early. Speaking of today's Hubu Shangshu, although it is said that there is a father's connections in the court, but to a large extent, he climbed to his current position by himself, and he should be told by everyone that his son inherits his father's business, and he is also respectful to his parents, but he is such a person who looks respectful and very filial on the surface, but he personally sent his parents away. ”
"But didn't Zhao Shangshu's parents die of illness?" Han Luyun asked.
"How can we, outsiders, know the things in other people's homes so clearly!" The girl smiled, "It's just that this kind of news is only known to those of us who specialize in this area!" , let's continue to talk about this Zhao Shangshu! The girl glanced at Han Luyun meaningfully.
The latter naturally felt the emotion in her eyes, and was about to say something, when the words just now had been reconnected.
"Zhao Shangshu said to the outside world that his parents died of illness, and then took advantage of the opportunity to send his parents' bones back to his hometown for burial, and hooked up with the forces on the border." When the girl said this, she smiled disdainfully, "Although I can figure out this kind of behavior, there is a father who is a high-ranking official, but because of his sister offended someone else's girl, and then suddenly returned to the identity of a commoner, he has worked hard to climb to a high position but has been enduring the gossip of others, if it were me, I would also feel uncomfortable, but I will definitely not be able to do such a stupid thing of collaborating with the enemy and treason!" ”
"So it was because the Feng family returned Zhao Shangshu's father who lost his official position, and later because of the gossip of outsiders, that he decided to unite the border forces and want to rebel?" Han Luyun opened his mouth and asked, "If it was because of these two things that he chose to rebel, wouldn't it be too far-fetched!" ”
"If Zhao Shangshu rebelled just because of these two things, it would naturally be far-fetched, but what if there are still some hidden secrets that outsiders don't know?" The girl smiled: "I don't know, the two of you can carefully check the identity of Zhao Shangshu's wife?" ”
When the girl said this, Han Luyun suddenly became alert. Since Zhao Shangshu's matter was exposed, most of their attention has been on Zhao Shangshu, but they have ignored his family. After Zhao Shangshu's father resigned and returned to his hometown, he was rarely heard from in the court, and it was not until the imperial examination that the current Zhao Shangshu won the title of Zhuangyuanlang, and many people remembered the previous Hubu Shangshu, and at that time Zhao Shangshu had married his current wife, and his daughters were already very big.
"You mean there's something wrong with his lady?" The news that Han Luyun could think of, the prince could naturally think of as well.
The girl nodded, "Yes, his lady has a lot of relationship with Zhao Shangshu now!" Zhao Shangshu's wife's surname is Chen, and the person behind the border force is also surnamed Chen, do you think this matter is a coincidence? ”
"So before Zhao Shangshu participated in the imperial examination, he already had this kind of rebellious mind?" Han Luyun asked.
"That's not true, if Zhao Shangshu had this kind of mind at that time, naturally he wouldn't have stayed in the court for so many years, after all, it is much better to work under his own family than under the emperor!" The girl smiled and said, "Don't be angry when I say this, this is a very real problem, a companion is like a tiger, if you can have another way, who would want to put your life in the hands of others!" When Zhao Shangshu and his wife got married, they didn't know that his wife still had this identity, and the two were really in love at that time, so they had a daughter. It's just that later Zhao Shangshu sat in his current position, and his temperament has also changed a lot, and his wife occasionally talked about this problem in his family letter with his brother, so a good game of chess began. The capital is the easiest place to gossip, so as long as Mrs. Chen makes a little use of those gossip, it will naturally be able to make Zhao Shangshu's heart more unbalanced, and when the imbalance in Zhao Shangshu's heart reaches a certain level, there will be a huge change, and then there will be a matter of him murdering his parents. ”
"So it was his wife who guided him later, so that Zhao Shangshu and the forces on the border got on the line?" Han Luyun spoke.
The girl nodded, "That's true, this Mrs. Chen herself is a thoughtful person, the reason why she married Zhao Shangshu in the first place was completely because she fell in love, so soon after Zhao Shangshu's parents died, she knelt in front of Zhao Shangshu, saying that she hid something from him, and then revealed her identity and discernment, at that time Zhao Shangshu's heart was not pure, coupled with the love for Mrs. in her heart, she naturally would not blame her, this first step came out, and the next thing was naturally logical. After fighting with that force, Zhao Shangshu took advantage of his position to give them a lot of convenience, and this situation could be maintained for a long time, after all, there was no intention of rebellion on the border, but there was just another opportunity. ”
"General's Mansion?" The crown prince frowned.
"Yes." The girl slowly spoke, "Because Zhao Shangshu and the General's Mansion have a holiday, the General's Mansion and the Hou Mansion are in-laws, and the Hou Mansion is Your Highness's cronies, so Zhao Shangshu feels that when His Royal Highness sits in that position, the status of the Hou Mansion and the General's Mansion will naturally rise, so his Shangshu will naturally be in danger, maybe his contacts with the border will be found out by someone with a heart, and at that time, it will be really difficult to escape death." So instead of seeing that kind of future, it's better to do it early, so that at least there is a chance of survival! ”
Han Luyun couldn't figure out what Zhao Shangshu did, "But even if this is the case, his rebellion is the most unwise idea, no matter how much the border forces develop, they will definitely not be the opponents of the imperial court, isn't he killing himself like this?" ”
"So that's another unknown reason." The girl smiled, "It's worth saying this reason!" ”
"Although the girl opened her mouth, now that the words have reached this level, wouldn't it be a little boring to sell Guan Zi again!" Han Luyun glanced at the prince, who had a thinking attitude.
"Do you remember what the surname Chen used to represent?" The girl spoke slowly, giving the two of them enough time to think.
Han Luyun was away from the capital for a few years when he was a child, so he couldn't figure out what this surname represented, but the prince's face changed after hearing the girl ask.
"Looking at His Highness like this, it seems that he has thought of something!" The girl spoke in an almost affirmative tone, "Just like His Highness thinks, these two brothers and sisters surnamed Chen are not simple characters. When the emperor was not the emperor, he once had a half-brother, but the emperor at that time had only his own queen in his heart, so this prince was not favored after he was born, but this prince's mother was not a simple woman, if there was no son before, it would be forgotten, but now his sons have been born, but he can't get half of his father's love, this concubine's heart is naturally unbalanced, so she has the idea of taking the heir, as long as the current emperor is gone, Then the throne can only be her son's. This matter is simple, but it is really difficult to do, the emperor at that time was very fond of the current emperor, so the concubine couldn't find any opportunity to start, and then the prince slowly grew up, inherited his mother's idea of a ten, and then went against the current emperor. Although the emperor at that time didn't like that prince, he was his own son no matter what, so he let the current emperor endure it again and again, which made the prince think that the emperor at that time was a little different from him, and he was even more determined to want to win the heir. ”
