Chapter 551: Han Mansion (2)
Seeing off Fu Mo and the accompanying Fu children, Han Daoming personally carried the old man back to Mingju Hall, and asked the other concubines, side nephews and servants and maids to leave the courtyard first, leaving only the second brother Han Daochang, Han Jun and Han Duan to talk in the hall.
"No one in our mansion is involved in those things in Guangde Mansion, right?" Han Daoming asked Han Daochang with a solemn expression.
He still has some understanding of what happened in Guangde Mansion, and he usually cares little about the family property and private business, and the second child is responsible for many things, which is almost a habit maintained for more than 20 years, and now he is worried that there may be something missing, so he naturally stares at the second child and asks.
"How could there be? If anyone in our house doesn't open their eyes, they won't get involved in these things," Han Daochang shook his head and said, but seeing Han Daoming's expression was extremely solemn, he said in a certain and emphasised tone, "I specially asked a few people who were doing things below in the afternoon, and there was indeed no one in Guangde Mansion who was indiscriminately involved, but Chuzhou, Tangyi, and Nanqiao occupied a lot of land, some of them were in Tangyi, and some of them fled to Chuzhou, and they don't know the situation yet." ”
To tell the truth, Han Qian originally took out nearly 200,000 acres of the Han family's fields and houses in Xuanshe and other places to make up for the loss of the fields of the township gentry who fled from Langxi, Guangde, and Anji counties. After the assassination, when the gentry of the villagers who had obviously been compensated for the murder flocked back to Langxi, Guangde, and Anji to invade the farmhouse, Han Daochang did not think about taking back the mansion that Han Qian had defeated.
On the one hand, it was the old man who assigned this part of the farm house to the third child, and on the other hand, it was Han Qian's many actions in the past that made Han Daochang deeply jealous, and he did not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to wipe this ass at this time.
After receiving such a positive reply from the second child, Han Daoming saw that his father was still squinting, looking drowsy, and stroked his long beard under his chin and said: "As long as you don't get involved in the affairs of Guangde Mansion, if there are a few people who don't understand the rules and blindly get involved, we know that we don't want to cover them up, and tell them to go to the yamen to surrender themselves." Chuzhou and Tangyi, it would be best if people could withdraw it, and don't get involved in other things for the time being......"
"Ahem......" Han Wenhuan heard this, then coughed, moved his body, and knocked the crutches on the handrail to the ground.
None of the others reacted, Han Daoming leaned over, picked up the crutches, put them beside his father, and said in a low voice: "Since the news of the destruction of the main force of the water division in Hongzepu reached Jinling, it has only been half a month at this time, and it stands to reason that even if the queen mother passed the edict at that time, the Xuzhou water camp should not have come so quickly......"
Eight hundred miles in an expedited manner, that's just a logical value.
The distance from Jinling to Xuzhou is 2,3400 miles, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the speed of transmitting the message in the plain area is naturally far different, and no matter how fast it is, it will take eight or nine days to transmit the news to Xuzhou.
Counting the time it took for Han Qian to gather troops, horses, war materials and weapons in Xuzhou, and then go down the river by water, it would take about 20 days to reach Jinling City.
In other words, strictly based on time calculation, the Empress Dowager's edict should have been issued by the main force of the Navy Division from the north of Hangou, and it was barely in time for time.
"You mean, when the main force of the Navy Division went north, the Queen Mother already expected this defeat?" Han Wenhuan opened his cloudy eyes and asked, "Even if that's the case, what's the problem, didn't Shen Xiang and Yang Houye also strongly oppose the sailor's attack on Hongzepu a long time ago?" My mind is a little confused, but I still remember the night when Marquis Yang came to look for you, it happened that your family Chengmeng also happened to be back in the house, right? ”
"The rout who fled south said that Wen Ruilin and Emperor Liang's guards appeared in Zhongli at that time, which is somewhat indescribable and unclear," Han Daoming said in a low voice, "When attacking Tanzhou, Wen Ruilin should have been the first to fall into the hands of Han Qian, right?" And with Wang Lin's experience, it seems difficult for Han Qian to say that he was also confused by Wen Ruilin? ”
Hearing Han Daoming say this, Han Daochang, Han Duan and the others sat up straight in fear.
They were still immersed in the huge shock of Han Qian leading the Xuzhou Water Camp back to Jinling, and their minds couldn't settle down a little, where could they think of such deep details in a short period of time?
"You are all blind, why can't Han Qian look away? Besides, you all can't wait to set fire to Guangde Mansion, even if Han Qian has long known that Wen Ruilin has a problem, what he says, who of you will believe it, can he stop you from throwing the Great Chu Water Master into Hongzepu to die? Han Wenhuan snatched the crutches from Han Daoming's hand, and walked out with the crutches tremblingly, Han Duan and Han Jun wanted to go over to help, but they were also pushed away angrily by him.
…………
…………
Watching the old man walk out of the Ming Residence Hall, it took a long time for Han Daochang to come back to his senses and ask Han Daoming: "What does Han Qian want to do?" ”
Han Jun and Han Duan sat there with their eyes blank, and this was the question they wanted to ask in their hearts at this moment.
"Who knows what he's really thinking all these years?" Han Daoming sat there dejectedly and said, "One thing is certain, Han Qian shouldn't be able to return to Xuzhou easily this time." ”
Although he Han Daoming also has the merit of being a dragon, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he knows that the situation of his Han family is extremely delicate.
In the past, Han Qian was far away in Xuzhou, and he thought that as long as he was careful enough, he would still be able to deal with the ever-changing situation, so that he would not become the target of public criticism if he made a wrong move, but now the situation has become more weird, complicated, and more turbulent, and he feels more or less powerless.
Since yesterday I learned the news of Xuzhou Shuiying's eastward expansion, in less than two days, Han Daoming felt that he had grown old to the point of exhaustion and energy.
If there were no old things, there would not be so many twists and turns within the Han family, he would be in power in the court, and Han Qian would be in charge of the military outside, and the situation would really be simpler.
The complexity lies in the fact that outsiders will never believe that they have broken off with Han Qian and Xuzhou a long time ago, and they don't know when Han Qian remembers the old hatred and will suddenly stab them, stabbing them to the point of pain and blood.
"Han Qian can be reappointed by the Queen Mother, let's make a statement first, the old things may not be so important......," Han Duan said with a weak heart.
Han Duan's meaning was very clear, they used to have many places that could not live with Han Qian, but if Han Qian was really an ambitious person, he should see the huge benefits that the Han family could bring him, instead of focusing on the previous festivals.
And since Han Qian can re-reconcile with the Queen Mother and King Xin, Han Duan feels that their side will make a statement first, and there may not be room for relaxation.
"How do we show our sincerity?" Han Jun asked eagerly.
Han Daoming glanced at his sister-in-law very suspiciously, and thought to himself, if Han Qian has something in his heart that he can't untie the Han family, one is the death of the third child, the other is that the beautiful maid he loved when he was a teenager was encroached upon by Jun'er, and the third may be regarded as the third child's head, how can Jun'er look forward to having room for relaxation with Han Qian?
Han Daoming didn't know how tormented and frightened Han Jun had been in the past few months.
Especially seeing that Emperor Yanyou was more powerful, the more frightened Han Jun became.
He knew very well that once the scandal was revealed, the Queen Mother might be imprisoned in the palace and not worry about her life, but Yang Yuanpu would definitely not let him survive, and maybe he would be beheaded by the Han family on a random charge.
I don't know the horror in Han Jun's heart before, and I can't understand how ecstatic he was when he heard the news that Han Qian was marching eastward with the edict of the Empress Dowager and Li Zhihe was withdrawing troops from Chaozhou at the edict of the Empress Dowager.
Regardless of the old grudge with Han Qian, the Queen Mother's return to power, and even the possibility of further intervention in the court at any time, all determine that he no longer has to worry about the loss of the head on his neck.
The arrogance in his heart has long been tossed away by the fear of death, compared to the loss of his head, what can be counted by bowing his head and admitting his mistakes.
Han Qian wants to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, it is impossible to kill the Han family, and he may need the Han family to help him, and he may be able to return to the queen mother's side to serve.
Thinking of the Queen Mother's snowy and jade-like ecstasy body, Han Jun couldn't help but feel a burst of fever in his lower abdomen.
Seeing that Han Jun advocated bowing his head to Han Qian, Han Daochang said: "Or I will go to Feng Yi and Guo Rong and go to Tangyi with them?" ”
Now the court has not finally made up its mind about Han Qian's recital, and his rush to Tangyi can be regarded as an attitude, the key is that he crossed the river to Tangyi on behalf of the Han family and joined Han Qian.
Han Daoming pondered for a while and said, "Maybe first ask Zhiyong to find a property and let them go to Tangyi." ”
Chen Zhiyong is Han Daoming's second son-in-law, he and Qiao Weiyan and Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji, who were born out of him, did not get much attention and reuse in the Han family in the early years, so there was no conflict with Han Qian, and even after the Jingxiang War, Han Chengmeng and others served in Shaozhou and other places, and the relationship with Han Qian and Xuzhou was quite harmonious.
At present, Han Chengmeng and Qiao Weiyan are both out of Beijing to work, but Chen Zhiyong is idle in Beijing, quite at ease, Han Daoming wants to ask his second son-in-law to go to Tangyi to see Han Qian, first, it is not so eye-catching, and secondly, Han Qian should not avoid it, or drive people back directly......
