"What?"

Yao Xishui had only been back in Jinling for two days, and she was still depressed about Li Zhihe's ruthlessness, but she didn't expect to hear the news that Han Daoming had defected against the Queen Mother's regent in the political hall so soon, and she almost suspected that she had heard the wrong words.

"Thirteen Niang sent back the news before that when Han Daoming first arrived in Tangyi, she seemed to hear the voice of Han Qian arguing with them, does what Han Daoming said only represent the meaning of his lineage?" A middle-aged beautiful woman in a goose yellow palace dress was holding a pair of scissors to pick up the wick and cut some of it, so that the flame burned brighter, she was still shocked to hear such news, and asked hesitantly, she would rather believe that Han Daoming and Han Qian had a complete falling out, and each chose a stand, rather than believe that Han Qian would tear his face with them, and turn around to support His Majesty.

"Don't say that there is still an old immortal in the Han family, Han Daoming has been in the mix for many years, and the old traitor is extremely slippery, where can he not bear the anger of the moment? Xishui is still too impatient......" Lu Qingxia frowned slightly, his hand lightly supported his forehead, and his unmessed sideburns were mixed with a few silver threads, which inevitably revealed the traces carved by the years on her body, she had no unrealistic illusions about the current situation, a mistake was a mistake, and not admitting it could not change anything.

Although Lu Qingxia's tone was soft and did not mean much blame, hearing such words, Yao Xishui was still extremely uncomfortable in his heart, like a knife.

It's just that when she thought of leaving Shuzhou, the eldest brother had already expected the defection of Han Qian and even the Han family, and she couldn't help but think in amazement, could it be that she was really too impatient, but gave Han Qian the opportunity and excuse to defect?

Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Chong's suicide in fear of guilt was just an explanation that they had to give an explanation under Han Qian's coercion, which would actually help eliminate the doubts in the hearts of Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and others.

Otherwise, the situation is so urgent, Tangyi relies on external money, food and material input without stopping for a moment, and in the predicament that it is very likely that neither end will be good and neither can gain relative trust, it is impossible for Han Qian and the Han family to choose to rashly cut off the relationship with them at this time.

Or was it Wen Ruilin's successful escape and Li Chong's spreading rumors, which eventually prompted Han Qian to cut ties with them?

No matter what the situation is, it shows that all the consequences are planted by her, and Yao Xishui is in a mess in her mind at this moment.

She has always been very wary of Han Qian, and she also thinks that Han Qian is very likely to be their biggest obstacle in the future, and she will want to attack each other whenever she has the opportunity, but she never thought that some things would be used by Han Qian in turn.

And just two days ago, when the eldest brother expected that such a situation might happen, she was still somewhat disdainful in her heart, but she didn't want the development of the situation to be completely out of their control after just two days.

"I ......" Thinking of this, Yao Xishui's mood was even more depressed, and she felt ashamed of her wife, her eyes were red, and she opened her mouth for a long time before she found that she couldn't find anything to defend herself.

"Is it that someone is going to see Zhihe, Han Qian only has 20,000 miscellaneous weak brigades in his hands, and without the cooperation of the Huaixi Forbidden Army, even if he really has a plan of gods and ghosts, is it possible that he can really block the pace of the Shouzhou Army going south alone?" At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman no longer doubted that Han Qian and the Han family's position had reversed the past, but in any case, the soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Yangtze River were mainly in their hands, and they still had the ability to force Han Qian and the ministers of the court to be low, and agreed that the queen mother would return to the court in the form of regent.

"Zhihe is right, we should no longer act rashly, the auxiliary government will be the auxiliary government, we must wait for the situation to stabilize before we can consider anything else, and don't make it difficult for Zhihe anymore." Lu Qingxia said with some haggard heart.

"Yes!" The middle-aged beauty nodded in response.

"Can Han Daoming accurately represent Han Qian's attitude, there will be no misunderstanding?"

Yang Yuanpu, who was hiding in Chongwen Hall these days, even Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang were too lazy to see each other, how could he know the news of Han Daoming's rebellion earlier than the Changchun Palace, but he couldn't believe that all this was true, or it was unbelievable that this was Han Qian's attitude.

It wasn't until late at night that he summoned An Jixiang, Chen Ruyi, Jiang Xu, Yuan Guowei, and Zhang Ping to ask for details.

And since Han Qian and Li Zhihe acted under the edict of the Empress Dowager, he has been hiding in the Chongwen Palace for most of the time, afraid that he will be confined in the deep palace one day, except for Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang and a few other people, no one has seen him, and he has no intention of caring about everything in Jinyun Division, and he only found out at this time that there are many trivial things that he needs to reorganize.

An Jixiang and Chen Ruyi have not been summoned these days, but they are still conscientiously collecting information, hoping to make up for their previous mistakes and omissions, and at this time knelt in front of the imperial case, and said cautiously:

"Wen Ruilin did stay in Shouzhou as a Zhongmen envoy, Gao Long had intended to assassinate Chen Mingsheng before he was defeated and killed, and Miao Yong led his troops to defect to Yongzhou in Wuzhiling...... Gao Chengyuan was seriously injured when he fought out of the enemy's siege, and Han Qian wanted to invite him to Tangyi for treatment, but Gao Chengyuan passed through Tangyi and did not enter, insisting that his generals escort him across the river, but unfortunately he was seriously injured when crossing the river. And Li Chong's surrender to the enemy and the matter of bewitching the public, Liyang Hou's twists and turns are also clear, and it should be true. However, before the Marquis of Xinjin strictly investigated the matter, Lin Zongjing, the subordinate general of the Marquis of Qianyang, had been humiliated and angry by the Marquis of Xinjin in the camp of Beacon Mountain because of this incident. The next day, in the name of checking the enemy, the Marquis of Qianyang detained the remnants of the Youshenwu army who were stranded in the Great Thorn Mountain; Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou also returned to Jiangzhou and Guangde Mansion on the same day, especially Zhou Yi was escorted by six warships in Xuzhou, and they also stopped in front of the Bijiashan camp on the way, but they didn't know what Zhou Yi said to the Marquis of Liyang and Xinjin, but after that, the Marquis of Xinjin made up his mind to investigate the affairs between the enemy. In addition to Li Chong's suicide, the Privy Council and the Criminal Department also sent people to Shuzhou to escort other soldiers back to Beijing for trial......"

"What do you think of these things?" Yang Yuanpu glanced at Zhang Ping, Jiang Shu, and Yuan Guowei, and asked with a dim face.

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei looked at each other, they couldn't meddle in the affairs of Jinyun Division, although they were in the position of deputy eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, the news was also closed - this was also directly related to their estrangement and courtiers who had deliberately kept to themselves in the past two years, and they had only heard many things for the first time at this time, but they didn't expect Han Qian to cooperate with Li Zhihe under the edict of the Empress Dowager, and they were also at odds with each other, and they really didn't know where to start for a while.

"Weichen Zhang Ping has something to say." Zhang Ping walked to the imperial case, knelt down, and said loudly.

"Sit down and say, I'm not a dead tyrant who can't tell the difference between good and bad words, what you have in your heart but tell me the truth, even if I don't like it, I won't be angry with you - I won't even understand the truth of loyalty." Yang Yuanpu motioned for Zhang Ping to sit down and speak, and he also tried his best to show a majestic appearance, and said.

Zhang Ping sighed slightly in his heart, if this is really the case, why is it the situation today? However, he still didn't want to disobey Yang Yuanpu's will, so he stood up obediently and said:

"Li Chong's words may not all be false, but his intentions are bound to be unpredictable. Gao Chengyuan passed through Tangyi and did not enter, he would rather die on the river, perhaps thinking that the Marquis of Qianyang had already known through Wen Ruilin's identity but did not make a noise. Or maybe the Marquis of Qianyang has been in Jinling for a long time, or this is true. Wechen did faintly hear someone say that Xue Ruogu went to Lishui to take up a post, but Han Lao Ling said in the middle of the house, and he was happy that the Marquis of Qianyang was in Jinling City at that time - the Marquis of Qianyang may have seen through Liang Jun's plan at that time, what kind of intentions did he have not picked, Weichen did not dare to speculate, but he dared to ask His Majesty, Qianyang Marquis stood up at that time to expose Liang Jun's scheme, can it prevent all this from happening? ”

Yang Yuanpu said that he knew the truth of loyalty, and at this moment, he couldn't help but twitch his face twice.

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei also stared down at their toes, but they didn't expect Zhang Ping to reveal this relationship in a bloody way, which was tantamount to directly accusing the consequences of all this because His Majesty was suspicious and anxious.

Chen Ruyi and An Jixiang were even more frightened, for fear that His Majesty would suddenly turn his face and kill him, except for Zhang Ping's death from the whole corpse, they were also implicated.

"......" After a long time, Yang Yuanpu sat back on the dragon chair as if he had been slapped dozens of times, and said bitterly, "You are right, Shen Shi and Yang En tried their best to dissuade them at that time, but I didn't listen to them at that time, so I fell for the enemy's tricks......"

I didn't expect Your Majesty to admit that the responsibility lies with you, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei were also shocked, thinking that maybe it was the ordeal of most of the month that made Your Majesty reflect?

"What are the intentions of the Marquis of Qianyang, Weichen does not dare to speculate, but Weichen knows one thing, it is impossible for the Marquis of Qianyang to collude with Liang Jun, maybe it is enough to know this at this time. And since His Majesty thinks that Weichen is right, Weichen will dare to say it again. No matter what kind of intentions the Marquis of Qianyang has, but at this time he needs His Majesty to be true, and His Majesty also needs the Marquis of Qianyang at this time," Zhang Ping said this, he still knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said prostrately, "Of course, Your Majesty even needs the Marquis of Xinjin to defend Shuzhou for Dachu at this time, so as not to let the enemy army stretch its minions recklessly and ravage the territory of Dachu and the ...... of the people."

Yang Yuanpu's thin face was cloudy and sunny for a while, and Zhang Ping's words unintentionally warned him that everything at present should focus on the overall situation, focus on the Great Chu Sheji, and don't rush to settle personal grievances.

It took him a long time before he let out a long breath and continued to ask, "As far as you can see, what should I do at this time to take the overall situation into account?" ”

He didn't realize that at this moment, his voice couldn't help but be low.

"According to Weichen's view, His Majesty should summon Shen Xiang, Zheng Envoy, Yuzhang County King, Liyang Marquis, Han Shangshu, Zhang Shangshu, Du Bingbu, and Zhou Shu to discuss the matter of welcoming the Empress Dowager back to the palace and assisting the government," Zhang Ping didn't seem to hear the impatience in Yang Yuanpu's words, and didn't seem to know what the consequences of what he said next, but some words must be pointed out by someone to point out, and said, "Just as Your Majesty will not suddenly believe in the Marquis of Qianyang, the Marquis of Qianyang may still hesitate between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, please don't take it seriously......"

"Do you want to do it slowly, not in a hurry?" Yang Yuanpu asked.

Zhang Ping, of course, was afraid that Yang Yuanpu would be in a hurry and mess up the situation that had finally eased up, so he nodded, admitting that he did have such worries.

Yang Yuanpu's eyelids twitched twice, and after a while, he said: "Then it's up to you, I will first summon Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Han Daoming into the palace to see ......."

Seeing that Yang Yuanpu insisted on only summoning Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, and Han Daoming in the first batch, he knew that he was still in an unrealistic fantasy, but he didn't think that characters like Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang would not be able to see the situation clearly, Zhang Ping sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Weichen will send someone to pass on Shen Xiang, Yuzhang Junwang and Lord Han to enter ......the palace."
