Chapter 443: The Mystery of the Eldest Princess's Life and Death
Speaking of this, Zhou Zechen glanced up at his grandfather, his eyes were a little complicated.
"And," with Zhou Xingxing's acquiescence, he said calmly, "Sun Er personally inspected the body of the eldest princess that day, although that person also had a sword wound on his back, and his face was also filthy. But the grandson thinks that it is not the eldest princess herself!"
When Zhou Xingxing heard this, he was not surprised at all, but smiled.
"You say...... It's not Yun Yun who died, so who is it?" he asked with a smile.
Zhou Zechen shook his head. The grandson didn't know, but the grandson felt that the bloody face, although it looked like the eldest princess herself, seemed to be a little younger...... Therefore, after the grandfather ordered someone to collect the body of the eldest princess that day, the grandson was not at ease, and went to the harem to check it out in person......"
"What do you want to check?" Zhou Xingxing suddenly stood up and interrupted him with a smile.
Zhou Zechen's face was still calm, he looked up at his grandfather, and said slowly, "Grandson once heard that Miss An say that there is a woman in this palace, who is very similar to Princess Yunyun. Therefore, after the incident that day, the grandson went to the harem and found the eldest sister again......"
"Oh?" Zhou Xingxing smiled again and asked, "What did you find in that Chen'er?"
Zhou Zechen shook his head, "No." According to the eldest sister, the former daughter of the king, Yunrong County Lord, was indeed in the palace before, and although the county lord looked very much like Princess Yunyun, this girl had disappeared in the palace half a month ago...... Therefore, the grandson is not sure who died that day. ”
Zhou Xingxing looked at him deeply. "Oh, so I couldn't wait to go to the harem that day to see your eldest sister, and that's all I said? What about that night? What did you let Monday enter the palace to find your eldest sister for?" he asked suddenly, his eyes glazed over.
Zhou Zechen still did not change his face, calm and indifferent.
"It's for the Kim family. He said indifferently as always, "More precisely, it's because of the lady in the palace." That lady has been pampered in the harem for many years, and her foundation in the palace is so deep that I am afraid it is unimaginable to outsiders. Therefore, Sun Er is worried that she has a lot of eyeliner in the palace, but she is afraid that she will get some news in advance, and she will quietly communicate with the Jin family outside the palace. Therefore, the grandson gave the eldest sister a wake-up call, and by the way, he came up with an idea. ”
In fact, in the early morning of the day of the palace change, Zhou Guifei did make a move against Concubine Jin Shu.
And Concubine Jin Shu is worthy of being the one who has been in the harem for many years and has mastered the power of the harem with one hand. Just before Zhou Guifei made a move, she really escaped from the palace quietly...... Fortunately, Zhou Zechen arranged a back hand, and only then did he rob her in the back alley of the cold palace.
Zhou Xingxing is naturally clear about these things.
At this moment, when he heard his grandson and Pantuo, he nodded with satisfaction, "Chen'er, it's hard for you to be young, but in these things in the back house, you are quite thoughtful." However, what are you going to do with the Third Prince?"
When Zhou Zechen heard this, he smiled rarely.
Zhou Xingxing frowned slightly.
"Grandfather," Zhou Zechen said lightly, "Grandson thinks that the third prince has already killed himself, so he won't worry about you, grandfather......"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Xingxing asked.
Zhou Zechen smiled faintly again, and said with a little coldness, "Because, he slept with his father's concubine and slept with that Li Guifei!"
Zhou Xingxing did not know about Li Yun'er's hiding in the Third Prince's Mansion in advance. Of course, he would never have looked at a character like Li Yun'er in the past.
In Zhou Xingxing's eyes, Li Yun'er was just a chess piece used by the emperor and the princess of the Japanese tribe to hide people's eyes.
Such a small chess piece is naturally not qualified enough for him, the prime minister, who has a lot of opportunities, to pay attention to it personally.
But at this moment......
Zhou Xingxing smiled and asked, "Is there any evidence? If you want the world to believe this, you must have absolutely conclusive evidence." ”
Zhou Zechen nodded slowly, "Li Yun'er is already pregnant with the flesh and blood of the third prince, and the one who came out to identify this matter is not someone else, it is the third princess." ”
Zhou Xingxing smiled again. "Chen'er, you have arranged this matter well. Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Zhou Zechen nodded, then raised his head again and said, "Grandfather, what are you going to do with the imperial military?" Before, the affairs of the military department have always been handled by the eldest grandson Wujiang. Right now, there are too many masters in the Guozhang Mansion, and the grandson doesn't dare to make a big move......"
Zhou Xingxing saw him mention this, and his heart was relieved.
"Chen'er, you think very thoughtfully. "Nowadays, it is not a problem to have garrisons scattered in various states and counties. What the old man is most worried about is the Yanbei Army and the Nanlin Border Army...... "Whether it is the Dingbei Marquis in the north or General Gu in the south, there are hundreds of thousands of elites under his command, and this has an immeasurable effect on the current situation."
Zhou Zechen suddenly knelt down.
Zhou Xingxing frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised. "Chen'er, what are you doing here?"
"Grandfather," Zhou Zechen raised his head and said, "If grandfather trusts his grandson, then leave the affairs of the north and south to his grandson." ”
"I'll leave it to you?" Zhou Xingxing was really a little surprised, "Chen'er, this matter is a big matter, are you sure?"
Zhou Zechen didn't answer directly, "Over there in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Sun Er had a good conversation with that General Tang Feng before. And although General Tang Feng is only the righteous son of the Marquis of Dingbei, he has been in the army for many years and has a lot of prestige and foundation in the Yanbei Army. Therefore, Sun Er thought, if we can win over this person and let him and the Marquis of Dingbei separate from Germany, perhaps, we can divide the Yanbei Army from the inside. At that time, the Yanbei Army will be in civil strife, and there will be barbarians watching from outside, so naturally they will not be able to take care of themselves and will not be able to pose any threat to us. ”
When Zhou Xingxing heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, "That's right." At the beginning, my grandfather was bent on leaving Tang Feng in the capital, and he also made this plan. Now, since you have thought of it yourself, you get along well with that Tang Feng. Then grandfather will leave this matter to you. ”
"Yes, the grandson Ding should do his best to live up to his grandfather's trust. Zhou Zechen bowed and said expressionlessly, "As for General Gu in the south...... At the beginning of last year, Sun Er also went to the south and visited the general Gu. At that time, my grandson and him had a very happy conversation......"
Speaking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Zhou Xingxing meaningfully, "What's more, now that the empire is back in the hands of our Zhou family, it is not a change of dynasty." I think General Gu will understand. Therefore, Sun Er was sure that he could persuade General Gu, who took his family and country as his own responsibility, to continue to stay in the south. ”
When Zhou Xingxing heard this, he smiled more and more happily.
"Chen'er, you are so capable. In the future, if I give you this chair, my grandfather will be able to rest assured. He pointed back to the dragon chair and said.
Zhou Zechen just looked at it indifferently and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Zhou Xingxing sighed secretly.
Now, the child is more and more moody. Even he couldn't understand it.
If the child doesn't care about that position, he can be regarded as doing things with all his heart and mind, but if he cares, looking at his cold and ruthless face, he really can't see what this child cares about.......
