Chapter 279: The Game of All Parties

Zhou Qilun said goodbye and left, Shao Jingwen held this thousand-year-old ginseng in his hand, and was silent for a long time, the emperor cared about his courtiers and sent people to send ginseng, which is of course a matter of course, but Shao Jingwen always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in it, first of all, it was a bit unreasonable to let Shangshu come to deliver medicine, and how did the emperor know that his mother was sick?

At this time, his wife Pei Shi walked in, and when she saw that her husband was silent in thought, she asked, "Wen Lang, is something wrong?" ”

"Madam, how do you say the little emperor would know that his mother is sick? Have you ever told anyone about your mother's illness? ”

Pei Shi thought about it, her brows furrowed slightly, "Could it be my uncle?" ”

Pei's uncle was a minor official in Taichang Temple, and a few days ago, her aunt had come to her house and her mother was sick.

"Wenlang, does it matter if my aunt knows about my mother's illness?"

"It doesn't have much to do with it, but I think it's a bit abrupt."

Shao Jingwen stood up and said, "I'll go to Shen Xiangguo's mansion now, and I won't go at night." ”

He handed the ginseng to his wife, "This ginseng is worth a lot of money, you can put it away first!" ”

Shao Jingwen changed his clothes and went to Uncle Shen's house with a heavy heart.

........ Due to the defeat of the King of Qi, the Yongjing court was embellished with three dynasties, and Uncle Shen Guo also rested at home. Uncle Shen did not go out to meet any of his colleagues, he locked himself in his home, and declared to the public that his illness had not recovered and that he needed to recuperate.

He is observing, observing the political situation, and also observing the movements of the Queen Mother, the silence of the Queen Mother and the military always makes Uncle Shen feel a little uneasy, he feels that there is a crisis brewing, but he also knows very well that if he does not take advantage of the situation to change the Queen Mother's curtain system, then the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for Yongjing, and the Queen Mother is in power, criticized by the world, and sooner or later it will ruin the Daning Dynasty.

In the study, Uncle Shen was discussing the matter of the scholar [***] with Cui Yanbo, the priest of the Guozi Priest Wine in Yongjing, and it had nothing to do with the Su family, it should be a subordinate of Su Xun, Cui Yanbo was originally a scholar of the History Museum, and was promoted by Uncle Shen Guo to be the Priest of the Kingdom in Yongjing, and he was regarded as Uncle Shen's henchman.

"Xiangguo, organizing 30,000 soldiers to march on the streets, it's not a big problem, the key is that I'm afraid of any accidents, mainly the army."

Cui Yanbo was worried, and let the scholars raise the banner against the king with a different surname, would it anger Shen Ji, Shen Ji had a heavy army, which really worried him.

Uncle Shen Guo smiled, "You don't have to worry, Shen Jiyuan is in Tongguan, even if he has the heart, he has no time to deploy, I should have instructed the county orders of Jingzhaoyin and Chang'an Wannian, let them do their best to maintain order, and I also have an army in my hands, I will order all the troops at the city gate not to allow the Guanzhong army to enter the city, although you can rest assured to arrange the scholars, I need large-scale support, the bigger the momentum, the better." ”

"I understand, I will definitely arrange it, and I will send a detailed plan to Xiangguo first."

Uncle Shen Guo nodded, and at this time, the guards reported at the door: "Xiangguo, General Shao is here!" ”

Uncle Shen Guo smiled, "Bring him to me." ”

When Cui Yanbo heard that Shao Jingwen was coming, he hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and after a while, Shao Jingwen hurriedly walked in, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Humble Shao Jingwen see Xiangguo!" ”

It can be said that the 100,000 elite soldiers in Shao Jingwen's hands are Uncle Shen's biggest capital, and Shao Jingwen is also his first confidant, he has been loyal to himself for so many years, and Uncle Shen has absolute trust in him.

"Get up!"

Uncle Shen Guo asked him to get up and sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked with a smile: "Is my mother's health better?" ”

"Thank you Xiangguo for your concern, my mother's condition has improved, and I am ready to return to Jinnan tomorrow."

"Why don't you stay for a few more days, it's rare for you to come back once, isn't it good to spend more time with your wife and children?"

Shao Jingwen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said: "Back to Xiangguo, Liu Hanzhang of Youzhou did not withdraw his army, and the 80,000 army was deployed in Ye County to put pressure on Jinnan, and seeing that the Yellow River was about to freeze, it became very easy for the Chu army to cross the river to Jinzhou, and his subordinates were very worried about the safety of Jinnan, so they had to rush back." ”

"You don't have to worry about this!"

Uncle Shen Guo smiled slightly, "Liu Hanzhang's soldiers stationed in Ye County just wanted to make a gesture, he was very afraid that Huangfu Wujin would take away his military power, but his military power would be taken away sooner or later, but not now, he is far less smart than He Qianjue." ”

Uncle Shen Guo took a letter from the table and said, "This is a letter that Emperor Fu Wujin just sent to me. ”

Shao Jingwen was stunned, Huangfu Wujin actually had a letter, he hesitated and asked: "What does Huangfu Wujin mean?" ”

"He didn't mean anything, he wanted a truce between the two sides for a winter, and at the same time told me that the Qi Wang's family had fled, probably near Chengdu Mansion in Shuzhong."

Shao Jingwen frowned slightly, "Xiangguo, I think that Huangfu Wujin should write to the Queen Mother, and he seems to have the intention of provoking this." ”

"You're right, he is provoking the contradictions between me and the Queen Mother, this person has seen through the internal disputes in Yongjing, the so-called truce for a winter is nothing more than waiting for our internal contradictions to deepen, this kid is getting more and more clever, Jingwen, when I killed him, you shouldn't have persuaded me."

Shao Jingwen lowered his head and said a word, he didn't think that he was wrong at the beginning, if it wasn't for the first emperor's bent intention on destroying the Liang royal lineage, he wouldn't have let the emperor sit on the throne.

He sighed and said, "Xiangguo, the emperor sent someone to find me today." ”

"Who to send?" Uncle Shen immediately became vigilant.

Whether it was the queen looking for Shao Jingwen, or the emperor coming to Shao Jingwen, as long as he didn't pass him, he would instinctively be vigilant.

"Back to Xiangguo, the emperor sent Zhou Shangshu to the door to greet my mother's condition."

Uncle Shen's brows furrowed, and he asked strangely, "How could he know that your mother was sick?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo said 'he', not referring to the little emperor, but referring to Zhou Qilun, he knew that the little emperor was young, and now he listened to Zhou Qilun and Xu Yun for everything, and came to visit Shao Jingwen's mother's illness, which must be what these two meant.

"Xiangguo, he may have learned the news from the uncle of his humble wife, their relationship has always been very good, but the humble position feels a little strange, the humble mother is not seriously ill, just a minor illness at home, at most relatives and friends can come to visit, but the emperor sent the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to visit the patient, so that the humble duty feels that their intentions do not seem to be in the visit itself."

Uncle Shen nodded and sighed slightly, "You're right, our little emperor is not willing to be lonely. ”

Shao Jingwen was stunned, he understood what Uncle Shen Guo meant, and he hurriedly said: "The emperor is young, he can't be mistaken by the two of them, Xiangguo should transfer Zhou Qilun and Xu Yun to the local government, the two of them will harm the emperor." ”

Uncle Shen Guo shook his head, "No! It is not necessarily a bad thing to make the emperor a corner of the force, to a certain extent, I have the same interests as him, and I believe that he also hates the queen mother's curtain system. ”

"But..... What to do with lowly duties? ”

Uncle Shen Guo squinted and smiled, "You just act as if nothing happened, they can't pull it, so they will turn to pull Mao Xiang, the general of the Yulin Army in the Imperial City, and their success surname is even greater." ”

After explaining the matter clearly with Uncle Shen Guo, Shao Jingwen felt that he was a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, so he stood up and said: "The lowly post understands that he has to leave in the morning, so the lowly post will leave first." ”

"Wait a minute!"

Uncle Shen Guo smiled and waved his hand to sit down, "I have one more important matter to discuss with you. ”

Shao Jingwen sat down again, waiting for Uncle Shen Guo to tell him something important, Uncle Shen Guo groaned for a while and said: "I plan to reach an exchange with Shen Ji, exchange Jinnan for Hanzhong, your army will withdraw to Shuzhou, and give Jinnan to Shenji, and then he will give Hanzhong to me." ”

Shao Jingwen was taken aback, "Is Shen Ji willing?" ”

Uncle Shen Guo smiled, "You should be willing!" This was originally a plan proposed by the Queen Mother. ”

......... At night, the Huaqing Palace was quiet outside, and a group of hundreds of cavalry rushed from a distance, and the Yulin Army guarding the Huaqing Palace found it from afar and shouted: "What person? ”

The cavalry team reined in their horses and replied loudly: "It's His Royal Highness the King of Qin, coming from Tongguan." ”

Yu Linjun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went in to report, Shen Ji's eyes in the team were gloomy, he was called by the Queen Mother, and rushed to come urgently, in fact, he also knew what was wrong, the government and the opposition set off a large-scale movement to reverse the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's situation was very passive, not only the Queen Mother, but also his title of King Qin and his dream of ascending the throne in the future may be shattered.

It's the same with Shinji, he can't bear it any longer.

In a moment, the palace gate opened, he turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly towards the deep palace.

In the inner hall of the deep palace, the Empress Dowager Shen is calmly waiting for the arrival of Shen Ji, although there is a commotion in the capital, but the Empress Dowager Shen is still very calm, she knows that behind the opposition to herself is Uncle Shen Guo is fueling the flames, in the final analysis, the root of all contradictions lies in the distribution of power between them, Uncle Shen Guo wants to use the political hall system to dominate power, but for her, this means giving up power, how is it possible?

A eunuch hurriedly walked in and bowed down to report: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Qin has come down." ”

"Announce him to the temple!"

After a moment, Shen Ji strode in, and he knelt down on one knee, "Minister Shen Ji sees the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother a thousand years of life and a thousand years of life." ”

Empress Dowager Shen smiled coldly, "General Shen, the mourning family is not a thousand years old now, maybe the mourning family will not be able to save their lives tomorrow." ”

"The Queen Mother is serious!"

Empress Dowager Shen sighed and waved her hand, "General, please sit down!" ”

Shen Ji sat down, and he said hatefully: "Queen Mother, we can't be silent like this, we must fight back." ”

"This is also the reason why the mourning family is looking for you, the mourning family got the news that the day after tomorrow, there will be 30,000 students marching on the streets, setting off the biggest movement against me, the mourning family has decided to kill chickens and monkeys!"

Empress Dowager Shen gritted her teeth and said coldly: "The mourning family wants them to understand that the Daning Dynasty is in the hands of the mourning family, not their gang of rotten Confucians who can change." ”
