Chapter 47 5 Wait and see what happens
After the canonization ceremony, Wu Sicheng's mood was a little complicated.
Liu Yan adopted Empress Hua's suggestion and used the Hu Konar incident to put Han Kemin under house arrest.
Originally, this incident made Liu Yan's plan quite flawed, and Liu Yan has always adopted Wu Sicheng's plan, step by step, collecting the criminal evidence of the Queen Mother and Han Kemin's party bit by bit, in order to finally eliminate it in one fell swoop. Although Hukonal's arrest is not a bad thing, it may surprise the snake, making the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Li and her party more mysterious and unpredictable, and then it will become more difficult to obtain conclusive evidence.
But when it came to Queen Hua's mouth, it completely changed - since it was inevitable to startle the snake with grass, why not just clean the grass and let the snake be completely exposed, so that you could see the seven inches of the snake clearly, so as to give it a fatal blow. Therefore, Empress Hua felt that she would not stop doing anything, and simply catch all the people on Hukonar's line. Even if you can't get involved with the Queen Mother and Han Kemin, you can take advantage of this incident to effectively curb the other party's actions, when the other party is suddenly attacked and is in a disadvantageous situation, in order to save the situation, some radical measures will often be taken, and the Queen Mother, who has always been thoughtful, may make mistakes at this time, as long as you can seize the opportunity, then you can turn this emergency into your own advantages to take advantage of it.
In fact, the development of things was just as Queen Hua expected, Liu Yan's sudden blow made the Queen Mother and Han Kemin and her party dizzy, and there was no room to fight back at all. But the real question depends on the reaction of the other party afterwards, how will they respond to this incident? Court disputes? Joint lettering? Forced palace? Intended or assassinated? Or mutiny? These are not impossible things, and Queen Hua looks like she has nothing to do with it. It means that as long as you are ready, then every move of the other party will fall into your own calculations.
But this aftermath naturally fell on Wu Sicheng's head. For this reason, Wu Sicheng almost split himself into several to use, and he spread eyeliner widely and was ready to deal with any eventuality. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the protection of the palace and the main witnesses, and also to control the situation of the northern and southern armies and the imperial forest army in the Beijing division to prevent the soldiers from mutiny, and all the troubles fall on him alone, Wu Sicheng has to suspect that it is Empress Hua who spoke in front of Liu Yan and deliberately came to test his ability, otherwise Liu Yan should at least find someone to share the burden with him.
For the wisdom of Queen Hua, Wu Sicheng admires it. In particular, this ability to adapt to changes on the fly is much more flexible and quick than my own ability to build plans and implement them gradually. In a way, Wu Sicheng is good at building his own stability and invincibility. Then look for the type of opportunity that the opponent can take advantage of; On the other hand, Queen Hua is the type who is good at making her opponent easy to defeat, and then attacking accordingly to win. These two types have their own advantages, but letting Empress Hua come up with the idea and let him clean up the aftermath always makes Wu Sicheng a little unhappy, especially when he himself suggested to Liu Yan to ask Empress Hua for it.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Wu Sicheng's heart fluctuate, that is, Qing'er's whereabouts finally have an eyebrow.
On the day of the ceremony, a imperial doctor was passed into the palace of the king of Chu, and after the treatment, he was naturally rewarded. And one of these rewards does not belong to the Chu Palace. It is a small object in the palace of the Queen Mother. Originally, it was reasonable for the Queen Mother to reward the King of Chu with some good things, and no one would be suspicious. But this thing is different, because it is a pair of bracelets that the Queen Mother gave to Qing'er. After hearing the reporter's description, Wu Sicheng immediately became alert. Secretly, the imperial doctor was even more certain after verifying it. Then he found out Qing'er's whereabouts from the mouth of the imperial doctor.
According to the oral account of the imperial doctor, Qing'er was placed in an extremely hidden place in the palace of the king of Chu, even if someone led the way. The Imperial Doctor himself was all around. However, in terms of direction, it should be in a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the Chu Palace.
Qing'er, who has been missing for many days, finally has a whereabouts, which is naturally a happy event. But Wu Sicheng couldn't be happy at all. Because according to what the imperial doctor said, this time it was for a concubine of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. And the result of the diagnosis is Ximai, the concubine has been pregnant for two months.
The previous inference was completely wrong, and the purpose of Qing'er being sent to the Chu Wangfu was because the King of Chu fell in love with this person and intended to take him as a concubine. Wu Sicheng's heart is really mixed, his secret lover has now become someone else's, no matter what the outcome of the fight between the two rows is in the future, this matter will become a hurdle that he can't get around.
What is the purpose of the King of Chu hiding Qing'er in the mansion? Is it purely for her own selfish desires, or is the Queen Mother somewhat jealous of Qing'er and takes the opportunity to hide this person? Anyway, since Qing'er can take the opportunity to pass on her personal jewelry, it shows that she also intends to let people go to the rescue. She is a favorable witness to confirm the Empress Dowager's guilt, and if she is allowed to continue to stay in the palace of the King of Chu, then once things change, it is uncertain whether Empress Dowager Li will kill her. Regardless of whether she is public or private, it is necessary for Wu Sicheng to rescue her, so rescuing Qing'er must also be implemented as soon as possible. But it is not easy to sneak into the palace of the King of Chu to save people, and besides, this person is still the beloved concubine of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and how things should end after rescuing people is also a headache. At this time, Wu Sicheng couldn't help but start to miss the friend Yang Tao who went to Tuqi, if he was there, maybe he could steal Qing'er out of the Chu Palace, so I don't know how much trouble he could saved.
After making a plan to rescue Qing'er, the sky was already dark. Wu Sicheng stood up and stretched, looked out the window at the fading night and let out a long sigh. Of course, he didn't know that almost at the same moment, a plan to assassinate Qing'er was also brewing. The battle between the two major groups of the Silk Country is now focusing on a little palace maid. (To be continued......)
