Chapter 245 Return to the Qian family
Qian Yuting has no brains does not mean that Zhao Guodong has no brains, Zhao Guodong found Zhu Hongsan immediately after agreeing to Qian Yuting, and reported the princess's request to Zhu Hongsan as it was.
Zhao Guodong is twenty-nine years old this year, and he is no longer the one who asked for food ten years ago. In the past few years, he has traveled south and north with the king of Chu, and he knows very well that the king of Chu is ruthless, and the secret agents of the king of Chu are densely packed in the army. Zhao Guodong even suspected that his deputy Zhao Guoliang was the one who monitored him.
Zhao Guodong knew that he was different from Qian Yong, Qian Yong looked very arrogant, but he was far away from those literati. When he supported the king of Chu to supervise the country, Qian Yong immediately told the king of Chu the news as soon as Ma Mingyuan's messenger left, and he Zhao Guodong did not have this thought.
Zhao Guodong now regrets very much that he had a relationship with the Dong sisters when he was in Henan, and now he is firmly labeled as Tong Yangjia. Zhao Guodong still remembers what Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu, said to him at that time.
"Zhao Guodong, be yourself, don't get involved in other things, you can't afford to participate."
Thinking of the cold tone of the King of Chu at that time, Zhao Guodong was still in a cold sweat. But the king of Chu, who went to pick up Princess Qian, didn't give an accurate letter, and Zhao Guodong didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly retreated.
When he returned to the barracks, Zhao Guodong thought for a long time, but he had no choice but to go to someone to discuss. He was looking for Qian Yong, and the two of them didn't seem to be right together, but after all, they came out of a barracks, and Zhao Guodong could still trust Qian Yong at a critical time.
When Qian Yong heard Zhao Guodong's intention, he didn't say anything, but just asked, "What do you think of King Chu's words?" ”
Zhao Guodong was stunned for a moment and said, "The King of Chu asked me to be myself, didn't I go to pick up Princess Qian's family?" ”
Qian Yong saw Zhao Guodong's stupid appearance and felt that he still helped this brother, after all, they have lived together for so many years, and now they are still his own sons and daughters.
"Zhao Si, you have misunderstood what King Chu meant. The King of Chu is eloquent and strategic, and he doesn't care about the life or death of Princess Qian's family at all, and the King of Chu's words are to let you not get involved in the affairs of the literati. As long as we do our best, in the future, after the king of Chu Zhongxing Daming, we will naturally seal our wives and sons, and wait for generations, what do you say you are doing in the Tongma dispute? ”
"Brother Sibao, but you know that my wife is the sister of Princess Dong, and she can't break off the relationship with Tong Yangjia at all."
"Stupid, didn't King Chu let you be yourself? Is your surname Zhao or Dong? ”
Zhao Guodong, who said Qian Yong's words, suddenly realized that he could find a lot of wives, but he only had one life.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guodong asked, "Where is Princess Qian?" ”
Qian Yong was really speechless about the IQ of his in-laws, but after all, it was his own in-laws, and Qian Yong decided to help him to the end.
"It doesn't matter whether you go or not, but the key is to let the King of Chu know that you must not hide anything from the King of Chu. But I suggest you go, although King Chu doesn't care about the life or death of his mother-in-law's family, but Princess Qian cares, even if you go, even if you give Princess Qian a favor, you may not be able to use it in the future. ”
Hearing Qian Yong say this, Zhao Guodong made up his mind and decided to pick up Princess Qian's family to come to Guangdong.
Seeing Zhao Guodong leaving, Qian Yong shook his head, his own in-laws are first-class in war, but just like King Chu said, he doesn't understand politics. Look at what the power of the Ma family in the army has been suppressed by the King of Chu, Ma Jingyuan is still only a county commander. Several other people from the Ma family died and killed, and they didn't become a climate, this Zhao Guodong still dared to contact the Tong family? If it weren't for the fear that his girl would be implicated in marrying him, he would never help him.
Thinking of this, Qian Yong hurriedly took out a pen and paper and reported in detail to the King of Chu that Zhao Guodong came to find him today. Qian Yong knew that there must be a secret agent of the King of Chu in his army, so it was better to explain the situation to the King of Chu himself than to be denounced by others.
Zhu Hongsan saw Qian Yong's secret report, and then looked at the secret report of the secret agent in the army, the meaning was similar. Zhu Hongsan is very satisfied with Qian Yong's doing, Zhao Guodong is still a useful talent, Zhu Hongsan doesn't want him to be affected by the party struggle, today's Qian Yong's words can be regarded as giving Zhao Guodong a chance, if he is unrepentant, then don't blame Zhu Hongsan for not being emotional.
Zhu Hongsan looked at the handsome eunuch Cao Fang standing in front of him, this guy did a good job in setting up the East Factory half a year ago, Zhu Hongsan handed over all the secret agents in the army to him, the news of the secret agents came very quickly this time, and the accuracy was still good, which showed that Cao Fang still had a certain ability.
"Lao Cao, you're doing a good job. Jinyiwei also infiltrated inside? ”
"Back to the emperor, everything is done according to the emperor's orders."
Hearing Cao Fang call himself the emperor, Zhu Hongsan scolded with a smile: "You old guy, this king is still in charge of the country, don't call it wrong and make people laugh." ”
When Cao Fang heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he knelt down and said, "No matter what others say, the emperor is the emperor for life in my heart." ”
Zhu Hongsan knows that Cao Fang is a sycophant, but it's good, isn't it. Zhu Hongsan waved his hand to let Cao Fang stand up, "Get up, the next step is to expand the scale of the East Factory, take my will, and absorb all the East Factory fans in Guangdong as soon as possible, you know?" ”
"Please rest assured that the emperor's sons in Guangzhou have all respected the emperor, and the servants of other prefectures and counties are contacting."
Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked Cao Fang to step back.
Zhao Guodong went home and thought about it for a long time, and he felt that this matter was still left to Zhao Guoliang. He suspected that Zhao Guoliang was the secret agent of the King of Chu, and this matter was handed over to him as a show of loyalty to the King of Chu.
So on the second day of the occupation of Jiading, Zhao Guodong found Zhao Guoliang and told him what Princess Qian wanted. ordered him to take a company of soldiers to Changshu to take Princess Qian's family back to Dongguan.
Zhao Guodong really guessed correctly, this Zhao Guoliang is really the secret agent of Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu. Zhao Guoliang's current position is the deputy commander of the Second Division and the military judge, but he still has the title of a thousand households on the Dongchang side. Zhao Guoliang's duty is to monitor Zhao Guodong, and at a critical time, he can show his identity to take over the command of the Second Division, but he cannot execute officers above the regimental level.
Zhao Guoliang didn't expect Zhao Guodong to be honest with him, he thought about it, there was no conflict between this order and the order of the King of Chu, Zhao Guodong did this after all, he was also loyal to the King of Chu, so he agreed.
Jiading is not too far from Luyuan Xipu Town, Changshu County, less than eighty miles. The water network in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and Zhao Guoliang and his entourage arrived at Qian's house the next day on a few boats.
Changshu was now also taken over by the Manchus, and the local area was also plagued by the Qing army. However, at this time, most of the Qing troops in Nanzhili were attracted by the two battlefields of Jiangyin and Jiading, and there were no Qing troops in Changshu except for the county seat.
Zhao Guoliang found the Qian family according to the guide, because of Qian Qianyi's relationship, the Qian family was not harmed by the Qing soldiers, so life was quite peaceful, but the door of black paint was still closed.
