Chapter 211 Night Visit
(The second update, ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass...... οΌ
Han Qian stayed in the county king's mansion to accompany the three princes for a banquet, and waited until the moon was on the top of the moon before leaving with Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng, Zheng Tong and others.
Back at the Han family's mansion, Zhao Laoqi came over and flattered the purple-maned horse away.
Han Qian asked Zheng Tong to go back to rest first, he stood in the front yard, looked up at the crescent moon at the top of the treetops, and only turned around after a while, and said to Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng:
"In two days, you will be officially official. You have been in the city for the past two days and have seen that there is no suitable yard for vacant sale, so I will give each of you a set of yards, and it will not be in vain for you to follow me. β
"If there is an empty yard in Lanting Lane, please reward the adults, so that Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng can always protect the adults." Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng "plopped" and knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
"I'm a bad temper, and sometimes my luck is a little worse, if you really want to follow me, you may not have a chance to get ahead." Han Qian said indifferently.
"We don't want to get ahead, but we want to follow the adults." Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng said.
Han Qian stared at Tian Cheng.
Gao Shao and Lin Haizheng are okay, Tian Cheng and Zhao Wuji and Xi Ying have seen him meet with Zhu Yu, King of Yong.
Although Han Qian had a clear conscience in this matter, and even Liang Jun's intention to invade Jingxiang was mostly due to him, but if this matter really wanted to be spread, and if it was manipulated behind his back by someone with a heart, he really had a hundred mouths and couldn't say clearly.
However, Tian Cheng's life experience is more bumpy than Lin Haizheng's, and many things have been seen through, if it weren't for the fact that his wife was infected with the epidemic and fell into the rivers and lakes, and had to be absorbed by the cantonment military government, he had no intention of being loyal to Da Chu.
Therefore, Han Qian believed that Tian Cheng should still be able to be trusted.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about these meaty words," Han Qian waved his hand, asked Tiancheng and them all to get up, and said, "This world is not peaceful, it is always good to be able to take care of each other." You have to live in Lanting Lane, and I will let Zhao Laoguan see if I can vacate three sets of yards tomorrow. β
"What's going on?" Zhao Ting'er walked out of it at this time, and saw Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng all kneeling there in a serious manner, and was startled, thinking that something had happened.
"Let's all go back and rest today, you're all tired all day." Han Qian waved his hand to let Tian Cheng and them leave first, and then he and Zhao Ting'er walked to the courtyard inside.
"Why did you suddenly call Lin Haizheng back in the afternoon and move all the accounts of the money shop to the county king's mansion?" Zhao Ting'er didn't know what was going on and asked.
Han Qian saw that Du Qiniang and Du Jiuniang were still in the courtyard, so he asked them to go down to rest first, called Xi Ying over, and told them about the many things that happened when he went to the county king's mansion today.
"The three of them still have some conscience, and if they don't get an official body, they forget that all this is the foundation given to them by the prince," Zhao Ting'er was quite satisfied with the performance of Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng, and didn't feel that they had an official body today, so they self-righteous forgot the roots, thinking that they would be from the county king's mansion from now on, and smacked their lips and said, "The princess is really a powerful person?" β
Han Qian had never met with the concubine, and it was difficult to figure out what kind of temperament had been distorted by the concubine who had a child at the age of seventeen, who had such a big secret but had been struggling for a long time in the shadow of the Anning Palace, and who was only thirty-two years old at this time and was in the year of the tiger and wolf, thinking that this might be the most uncertain factor behind the third prince, right?
Xi Ying didn't know what Han Qian was thinking, her attention was mainly on the liquidation of Zuo Si, and she complained: "The craftsman, the store, and the money shop are all you have worked hard to save, shouldn't they be spun off from Zuo Si and put under your personal name?" β
It stands to reason that the military room and the chazifang are indeed not the forces that Han Qian should personally control at this time, and this time it was officially merged into the county king's mansion, which is also the meaning of the question, but even if it is a Linjiang money shop, it is only in the name of the three princes, and the craftsman and warehouse are operated by Han Qian with his own ability - in Xi Ying's opinion, Han Qian has made great contributions to keeping Jingxiang, even if he is not rewarded, he should not take these away from him.
At this time, Emperor Tianyou didn't even let out a fart, and sent two kittens and puppies out, and he wanted to strip the workshop, warehouse, coal yard, and even the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard from the name of the Han family, what is the matter?
The grange given by the concubine can be worth these tenths and twoths?
"People are most afraid of greed and lack of greed!" Han Qian smiled and said.
In fact, he was not summoned twice, and returned to Jinling all the way from Xiangzhou, Han Qian was even more worried that he would gain nothing after returning to Jinling, and he had to accept it with a smile.
At present, in addition to keeping his affairs in the Xuzhou Boat Gang and Xuzhou, he can still have 300 cakes of gold in his hands
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
A grange on the south bank of the Qiupu River outside the East City, which was rewarded by the concubine, was still satisfied with today's results.
This may be the condition that Emperor Tianyou gave to his father and son, right?
Of course, compared to these, what Han Qian had more of a headache at this time was that he was not very sure how much Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei knew about the affairs of the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Late Red Mansion.
That's what kills you.
Han Qian seemed to be cut off from the Late Red Mansion at this time, and he didn't need to obey the bullshit orders of the Marquis of Xinchang and the Black Veil Woman, but the secret of the Late Red Mansion was completely exposed, not to mention that he couldn't get out of the way, and most of the three princes would also be abolished, so he didn't have the luxury of ascending the throne and succeeding to the throne at all.
"The Great Chu Emperor has arranged Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei to the three princes, so the next step is to support the three princes to replace the crown prince on the throne, right?" Xi Ying was born in the Xi family, she is a fanmin, and she has no loyalty to Emperor Tianyou, she thought to herself, since Emperor Tianyou arranged Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei to the side of the three princes and obeyed the orders of the three princes, it should be a fairly obvious signal.
"How can it be that simple?" Han Qian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei are serving by His Highness's side, even if they are really loyal to His Highness in the future, as they said, it can only mean that His Highness has just had the qualifications to compete for the throne at this time, and it can't explain more." In the final analysis, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei are just two chips and chess pieces in the hands of Emperor Tianyou, and we can only jump up and down on Emperor Tianyou's chess game in the future. β
Xi Ying pursed his lips, he really didn't know about the battle, how much scheming did many forces have to play before it was settled, and Han Qian's words were also very chattering, I don't know what he was stimulated, or did he really feel so painful that after the workshop, the warehouse and the money shop were scratched?
Seeing Xi Ying's puzzled face, Han Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, the three princes used to be just an idle chess player of Emperor Tianyou, even if Emperor Tianyou didn't have any expectations for the three princes at the beginning, so they had a lot of flexibility behind the scenes, but once Emperor Tianyou really had expectations for the three princes, who could, who would dare to compete for dominance from Emperor Tianyou?
And Emperor Tianyou, as the founding king, must have a strong personality.
The changes in this are difficult to explain in a few words.
"Who?" At this time, Zhao Wuji's suppressed and clear reprimand voice came from the courtyard on the side.
At the same time, the sound of several bowstrings collapsing was clearly heard.
Han Qian moved the saber on his waist to his side, staring at the direction in which Zhao Wuji was in charge of vigilance, not knowing who wanted to break into his house so late.
After a while, Zhao Wuji came over the wall directly and said in a low voice: "It's Miss Yao and Chun Thirteen Niang who want to see their sons, do you want to let them come over?" β
"I'm just looking for them, let them come." Han Qian said.
After Zhao Wuji left, soon two figures jumped directly onto the courtyard wall, but Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang did not go to the main gate, but jumped in from the courtyard on the side.
"I was about to send someone to invite Miss Yao over for tea, but I didn't expect Miss Yao to really have a good relationship with me." Han Qian stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, motioning to Zhao Wuji to look left and right, and not to let others approach the courtyard again.
Seeing that there was no one else in the courtyard except Zhao Ting'er and Xi Ying, Yao Xishui asked directly: "Who are Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei in Jinyun Tower, can Lord Han figure it out at this time?" β
Han Qian smiled slightly and said, "You didn't know until today that Jiang Yuan and the others were not ordinary scribes in Jinyun Tower, aren't they too dull?" β
"You are delaying your return to Jinling, who can know in advance what kind of arrangements Zuo Si will get, and where will you notice such an inconspicuous corner of Jinyun Tower?" Yao Xishui said dissatisfiedly.
Han Qian didn't fight with Yao Xishui, and now was not the time to argue about this, there were too many loopholes to be filled, and said:
"Your Majesty is likely to have noticed the existence of the Late Red Mansion, but the only thing you can feel fortunate about is that Your Majesty should now think that the Late Red Mansion is a force secretly cultivated by the Marquis of Xinchang's Mansion, probably for the purpose of collecting money and arranging eyeliner, and it is not particularly bold and reckless - Jiang Yuan and the two are directly arranged by His Majesty to be worshiped by His Royal Highness, and in the future, the Zuo Si will be under the direct supervision of Jiang Yuan and the others. What are you going to do next, and you don't need me to dictate you, right? β
Yao Xishui and the others have also clearly realized that the Junwang Mansion is currently under the auspices of Shen Yang, and many actions are directly restricted, and it can even be said that it can be said to suppress the control and infiltration of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion to the Dragon Bird Army.
At this time, confirming the identities of Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei, Yao Xishui was even more surprised, subconsciously lowered his voice, and asked in surprise: "Do you confirm that Your Majesty's attention to the Evening Red Mansion is limited to this?" β
"It should be this at the moment
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But even if the traces of the Late Red Mansion are further exposed, there is nothing," Han Qian pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "Before the new emperor ascended the throne, everyone was a bargaining chip and chess piece in the hands of His Majesty, including me, Jiang Xu, Yuan Guowei, Marquis Li, and even Shen Yang and His Royal Highness. It doesn't matter whether we are willing or not, willing or not, at least Your Majesty thinks so in his own heart. In His Majesty's chess game, all the chess pieces should maintain the long-term peace and stability of Dachu and the children of the Yang family to sit in Dachu forever. Even if the Late Red Mansion is further exposed, as long as you are willing to jump into His Majesty's chess game and make this chess piece, there is nothing? Who said that the three princes could not ascend to the throne with the help of forces outside the imperial court? Even these external forces, with their own ambitions and intentions, are not a big problem, as long as they do not overturn His Majesty's chess game. Only those who have the potential to overturn His Majesty's chess game, in His Majesty's mind, are guilty of ten thousand deaths, and they are worthy of a thousand cuts! β
"You traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, delaying for more than a month to return to Jinling, is this what you realized?" Yao Xishui stared at Han Qian's pupils and asked.
"Your Majesty doesn't mind that my Han family's father and son have a little bit of ambition, isn't it enough to prove it?" Han Qian asked, "Your Majesty has walked on a bridge longer than we walked, has eaten more salt, and eaten more rice than we have ever eaten, he will not be naΓ―ve enough to think that there is really loyalty in the world for no reason." All the forces and powers, in the eyes of His Majesty, there are probably only two kinds of things that can be controlled and those who can't. When I say this, Miss Yao understands? β
In Han Qian's view, the Late Red Mansion should not have been completely exposed, which is directly related to the deliberate blurring of the boundary between the Late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang over the years.
For example, Li Zhihe, Chai Jian, and Zhang Ping all have formal official status, and the backbone elements of the Late Red Mansion have almost all become the elite soldiers of the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion in so many years of integration, which makes the existence of the Late Red Mansion extremely hidden.
This also makes Emperor Tianyou's eyeliner, even if he has noticed the connection between the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Late Red Mansion, at this time, he only regards the Late Red Mansion as a tool for the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion to collect money, arrange eyeliner, and find out the news.
Of course, Han Qian guessed that it was probably after he sought to go out of Xuzhou for his father that all aspects related to the Dragon Bird Army really attracted the attention of Emperor Tianyou.
And the day before, the three princes got married, Yao Xishui almost exposed his identity in front of Zhao Mingting and Wang Wenqian, and then under the persuasion of Han Qian and Li Zhihe, the Evening Red Mansion further hid all the hidden stakes, and concentrated the scouts and reconnaissance and others in Zuo Si.
This should also be the key reason why the late Red Mansion was not completely exposed.
However, at this time, Zuo Si was already directly under the supervision of Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei, and Jiang Yuan and the two would further install several descendants of Zuo Si in the future.
The existence of Zuo Si will not only monitor the outside, the Anning Palace, and the movements of the Xinwang Mansion in the future, but also the movements of the County King's Mansion and the Dragon Bird Army.
This is the meaning of the existence of a hidden force.
If the Late Red Mansion does not pay attention to restraint at this time and does not erase some traces, it will be difficult to hide the extremely spicy eyes of Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei.
Although Jiang Xu and Yuan Guowei claimed that after they were transferred out of the Inner Government Bureau, they would only be loyal to the third prince personally, but Han Qian would never believe this kind of words.
In the final analysis, the three princes are not chess players at present, and they are just a chess piece on the chess game of Emperor Tianyou's abolition, when everyone stays in this chess game and fights for power, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei are loyal to the three princes, and other than that, it is difficult to say anything.
Yao Xishui pondered for a long time before digesting what Han Qian said, and asked, "Since Zuo Si will be under the supervision of Jiang Yuan and the others, what should Chun Thirteen Niang do?" β
Han Qian said: "That can only be reported truthfully, otherwise the loophole will be even bigger - at present, Your Majesty should think that Zuo Si is secretly preparing with me and Marquis Li, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei also clearly asked me to hand over the list of those people who are not on the list of the military government, this is also an opportunity for the late Red Mansion to turn darkness into light, so not only Chun Thirteen Niang, Miss Yao, you will also follow me to see Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei tomorrow." β
"What about the father-in-law?" Yao Xishui asked in surprise.
"Lord Zhang can't be exposed, if Your Majesty knows that Marquis Li is in the palace, there are people arranged around Concubine Shi, and even if you know that Concubine Shi is a person from the Late Red Mansion, all of us are capital crimes," Han Qian said calmly, "Marquis Li arranged Chun Thirteen Niang to General Kong's side, and I conspired with Marquis Li to arrange Miss Yao to Lord Zhang's side, my mind is a little softer, but in terms of the situation of the three princes who were isolated and helpless before, it is also fateful!" β
"I'll have to go back and tell my wife about this." Yao Xishui said above his eyebrows.
"I'll have to hand in the roster of hidden people by tomorrow afternoon at the latest." Han Qian said.
