Chapter 178: Changing Heavens
At night, the palace of the county king is still brightly lit, and in this place of Simiao County, the mansions of many dignitaries and nobles are lit all night, one is to show the wealth of the master, and the other is to deter those who plot against evil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Concubine Jin did not accompany the county king to sleep today, in the county king's mansion, Concubine Jin is just a side concubine, there is only one real princess, that is, the princess of the medicine king Gu Jinxian, when the princess of the main family followed the county king, the county king was still only a prince, and he was always pressed under the Yongchang prince of the year.
All the people in Simiao County only know that there is a prince of Yongchang, and they don't know that there is a current king of the county, but since the marriage of the king of the county and the valley of the medicine king, everything is different, and it didn't take long for the prince of Yongchang to die suddenly, and the old king of the county can only pass on the throne to his youngest son, that is, the current king of the county.
Although this princess is from a low background and is not a young lady from the so-called princess family, her appearance can be said to be unparalleled in the world, in addition, Concubine Jin also knows that the princess is also proficient in some tricks in the room, which makes the county king linger, which is why after so many years, the princess's favor is still not declining.
Of course, Concubine Jin is much younger than the princess, so she can share a little bit of the favor of the princess under the princess's eyelids, but it is strange to say that although the county king has many side concubines, none of them raise a boy and a half girl for the princess, so the county king has no children except for having a son Feng Hao with the princess.
At this time, Concubine Jin was playing with a bloodstone seal in her hand, which was the seal of the Yongchang prince that Xuanjing pawned to the Jinse pawnshop a few days ago, according to Jin Chaofeng of the pawnshop, this seal was pawned by a person named Zhang San, but in the hands of this person, there was also a portable folding fan given by the old county king to the county lord of Pingyang.
Concubine Jin has been in the county king's mansion for many years, of course she knows whose mansion the folding fan should be, it was given to the county lord of Pingyang by the old county king, that is to say, the person who went to pawn that day should be the cronies of the county lord of Pingyang.
Then things seem very strange, the seal letter of the prince of Yongchang has always been a heart disease of the current county king, the county king knows, as long as this seal letter is still there, those who have followed the Yongchang prince back then, will not disappear for a day, they are likely to lurk in every corner of Simiao County, if one day, there is a person holding this fuse, then they will respond to the call, this is the last thing the county king wants to see.
These people not only have important ministers of Simiao County, but also many unknown forces on the rivers and lakes, these people were pregnant with blood under the command of the prince of Yongchang, but with the violent death of the prince of Yongchang, these people are either gone or hidden, but everyone knows that the real blood will not cool down with the passage of time, they are just temporarily dormant.
It has always been rumored that this seal letter was privately hidden by the general Sun Qingping when the prince of Yongchang died violently, even the king of the county has such doubts in his heart, but these are just rumors. It is impossible for the king of the county to copy the house of the general of the county for the so-called rumors, not to mention that if Sun Qingping really has this seal, then the king of the county really doesn't dare to take Sun Qingping.
But now this matter suddenly became very ambiguous, the county lord of Pingyang just gave Concubine Jin a priceless night pearl a few days ago, and as a result, he immediately asked his relatives to throw out this seal letter of the prince of Yongchang, this matter is clearly to ask Concubine Jin to help.
Could it be that those rumors in Simiao County are true now? Is the county lord of Pingyang really going to attack the general? Of course, Concubine Jin understands the character of the county king, as long as she presents this seal to the county king, the county king will definitely trace the pawnbroker's background.
At that time, the county lord of Pingyang only needs to throw out a substitute for the dead ghost, saying that it is someone in the general's mansion, and when he sees the wealth, he will steal this seal letter to exchange it for a few silver flowers, and then he only needs Concubine Jin to help hide the details that the pawnbroker once held the token of the county lord of Pingyang, then a seamless case of planting will happen!
Even if the county king will not immediately lead troops to encircle and suppress Sun Qingping, I am afraid that he will secretly collect Sun Qingping's military power first, and then eliminate Sun Qingping through the power of the county lord of Pingyang, while the county king himself will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
So now the intention of the county lord of Pingyang is obvious, that is, to let Concubine Jin choose by herself, if Concubine Jin chooses to stand on Sun Qingping's side, the wishful thinking of the county lord of Pingyang this time can be in vain, if Concubine Jin tells the county king about the pawnshop, then the county king will definitely lower the responsibility of the county lord of Pingyang, although this seal is said to be the family heirloom of the county lord of Pingyang, but Pingyang does not know what means to use to get it and deliberately framed Sun Qingping, it must be ill-intentioned!
If Concubine Jin is on the side of the county lord of Pingyang, then she only needs to add oil and vinegar in front of the county king, not to mention that the county king originally suspected that this seal letter was privately hidden by Sun Qingping, and recently Sun Qingping was impeached by the imperial history for embezzling military salaries and buying weapons privately, which is not a small crime!
Concubine Jin was thinking in her heart, should it be better to stand on Sun Qingping's side or on the side of the Pingyang County Lord?
Gradually, the sky has revealed the white belly of the fish, but the lights in the Jinfei room have not been extinguished overnight.
"Someone!" Concubine Jin shouted to the maid who was waiting beside her, "Serve the dress-up, today I am going to meet the king of the county!" ”
The people wondered for a while, Concubine Jin was not the princess of the main family, it was already daytime, it should be the time for the county king to deal with official business, and Concubine Jin chose this time to see the county king, or something that had never happened......
……
Many people in Simiao County know that the birthday of the general Sun Qingping is the third day of March every year, although many of the princes in Simiao County look down on nouveau riche like Sun Qingping, but now Sun Qingping is the general of the county after all, so every year on Sun Qingping's birthday, as usual, there is a banquet from the king of the county, and hundreds of officials congratulate him on his birthday.
But this year, it seems that the weather has changed a little, some time ago there was a word in the county king's mansion, saying that the county king's banquet on the birthday of the important minister over the years was canceled this year, although the county king did not name and said that he would not give Sun Qingping a banquet, but who this regulation is aimed at, but the discerning people can see it at a glance.
Another point is that in the past, the patrol battalion of Simiao County was dispatched by Sun Qingping, but ten days ago, the county king suddenly handed over everything in the patrol battalion to Sun Qingping's deputy general Lan Xiao to take care of on the grounds that Sun Qingping was busy with military affairs.
This matter is very strange, because Lan Xiao has always been Sun Qingping's deputy general, and it is said that it is a logical thing to help Sun Qingping take care of the things in his hands, but now I don't know why, the county king suddenly issued an order in person and named Lan Xiao to manage the patrol battalion.
And in this way, the soldiers and horses that Sun Qingping could directly mobilize in his hands, except for the seven hundred soldiers in the mansion, did not have a single extra soldier! (To be continued.) )
