Chapter 281: The Truth About the Rebellion

"I miss you so much." Xie San whispered in He Huan's ear, "I arranged for you to live in Songzhou City, ostensibly because Shen Jinglun's roots in Jizhou were too deep, and I was afraid that he would find you and use you to threaten me, but in fact, I just wanted you to be closer to me." ”

He Huan's head rested on Xie San's shoulder, allowing him to hug him tightly, his cheeks flushed like morning glow. She could vaguely hear the sound of Chang'an and Vice General Zhou talking, and then Chang'an suddenly raised his voice and pulled Vice General Zhou to eat.

"They all guessed." He Huan hurriedly pushed Xie San away.

Xie San hugged her and said confidently: "What are you afraid of, they all know, you are my fiancée, we are above board!" ”

"What is above board, don't talk nonsense." He Huan lightly slapped his chest, but he grabbed his fist all of a sudden.

Xie San squeezed her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it, and said sadly: "Every night, as long as I think that you are in the city, I can't wait to ride a fast horse into the city, but I want to lead by example, I can't leave the camp without permission, but I hope to sigh at night." ”

"Then you come to me now, is it all over?"

Xie San shook his head lightly and said, "I have something to do with you." ”

He Huan lowered his eyes, unable to hide the loss in his eyes. Xie San saw it in his eyes, and could only whisper comfort: "Don't worry, Shen Nianxi will be fine, he is Shen Jinglun's only son." ”

"I understand. You are only right to besiege and not attack in order to reduce the casualties of the people. ”

"Actually, it's my fault, I can't find out where Shen Jinglun and the so-called Zhao Yi are hiding." Xie San sighed, pulled He Huan to sit down, and lit the candle on the table. Under the fluttering candle flame. looked at He Huanyan's red cheeks. He laughed, "I really want to take a bite." He reached out and gently pinched her cheek.

"Don't do it." He Huan slapped his hand away. "Didn't you say that there was something serious to do with me?"

"I've never done anything to anyone." Xie San sat down next to her, clasped her right hand with his left hand, and sighed: "Actually, it's not that important, I'm just looking for an excuse to visit you." ”

"You just said you had to lead by example!" He Huan complained, but did not withdraw his right hand. Sometimes she hates herself too, always thinking of leaving him and never seeing him again. must be cut off with him, but every time she is with him, she is willing to kiss him and let him hug her, as if she is encouraging him. Sometimes she even felt that as long as her eyes saw him, she could no longer control her feelings.

Like at this moment, he was like a naughty child, breaking her fingers one by one and clasping her ten fingers. She can stop him. She could have withdrawn her hand, but she let him move. There was a hint of sweetness in her heart, and she even hoped that he would hold her hand like this forever.

"What are you thinking?" Xie San's right hand shook in front of He Huan's eyes.

"No, no." He Huan instinctively withdrew his hand, but Xie San clasped his five fingers harder. He said solemnly, "Okay, let's get down to business." About 20 days ago, I received a message from Beijing. They really didn't hear from me earlier, except for the letter that I wanted to marry you. ”

He Huan looked at him in surprise.

"You know how serious I am now, right? Earlier, Yong'an Hou sent Hou Steward to Jizhou for our marriage. ”

"So Steward Hou was killed, is it because Shen Jinglun doesn't want us to get married?" He Huan asked in surprise. She has been thinking a lot about it these days, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that Shen Jinglun is terrible.

Xie San shook his head hesitantly, and replied slowly: "It shouldn't be this reason, in short, I really can't understand Shen Jinglun." The person who sent the letter over for more than 20 days just told me about the situation in the north and the emperor's difficulties......"

"So it's impossible for the emperor to send troops over? What's going on up north? ”

"It should be that Shen Jinglun discussed it with the Japanese people early in the morning, wanting to make the emperor suffer from the enemy, and adding the rumor that the emperor was not born by the first emperor, forcing the emperor to abdicate." As he spoke, Xie San frowned, shook his head and said, "The thing I can't figure out the most, once he succeeds in his rebellion, will he really let the fake Zhao Yi sit on the dragon chair?" If not him, who would it be? ”

He Huan knew early on that Shen Jinglun rebelled under the banner of "Zhao Yi is the orthodoxy of the royal family". It stands to reason that the person who ascends the throne after the matter is completed must be Zhao Yi, but they all know that Zhao Yi is a fake at all. Could it be that Shen Jinglun wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

He Huan couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask: "What did you come to me for?" ”

"That's right, I sent someone back to Beijing to ask about the details of the former prince's rebellion, and I just received a reply today, so I want to ask you if there is a discrepancy between Yong'an Hou's statement and what Shen Jinglun said."

Xie San recounted Yong'an Hou's secret letter in detail, and finally said: "Master Hou even said that the child in Miss Xie's belly may be Zhao Yi's, and I don't think there is anything to hide. ”

He Huan carefully recalled what Shen Jinglun said, and said in surprise: "Their rhetoric is exactly the same, and there is no discrepancy. ”

"Are you sure?" Xie San's brows furrowed even tighter.

He Huan nodded and said: "Except that he didn't say that he went into prison by himself, and only hoped that after the incident subsided, he could return to Jizhou, and other things were the same." ”

"That's weird! In fact, even if he followed the will of the former emperor and 'prepared' evidence of the former prince's rebellion, he agreed to the former emperor at that time, it would be impossible for him to turn around and bear the burden of humiliation for Zhao Yi for ten years...... Unless—"

"Unless—"

Xie San and He Huan spoke in unison, staring at each other in astonishment.

"Impossible!"

Again, in unison, their eyes were full of disbelief, but their tones were tinged with suspicion.

He Huan stood up and muttered to herself: "The Shen family still has Old Lady Shen, and Shen Zhihua, who has followed him since childhood......" Her voice gradually weakened.

Shen Jinglun went to Beijing before he was ten years old, and Mrs. Shen was blind more than 20 years ago. As for Shen Zhihua, it is because of him that no one in Manjizhou suspects that the person who returned from the capital is not Shen Jinglun; It is also because of him that no one doubts that the Boxing Letter sent to the capital every year is not from Shen Jinglun. I'm afraid that Shen Jinglun's deep residence in the past ten years is not because he has a cold temperament, but because he is afraid of meeting someone who has seen the real Shen Jinglun in the capital.

The more He Huan thought about it, the more ugly his face became. If Shen Jinglun is Zhao Yi, it will make sense.

More than ten years ago, when Shen Jinglun returned to Jizhou, he claimed that he encountered robbers on the way, and only Shen Zhihua was the only one who followed him to the capital from Jizhou and followed him back to Jizhou from the capital, and the other people were all killed by robbers on the way.

Over the years, there have not been many descendants of the Shen family, not because Shen Jinglun advocates frugality, but because he avoids extraneous branches in the future. Even when Lin Xiyan just died, the Shen family made a big show of buying miscellaneous servants, probably in order to install his subordinates in Jizhou City, so that they could control Jizhou in one fell swoop when they got into trouble.

"The people on the Shen family's Zhuangzi, he made the appearance of looting and kidnapping, in fact, to kill the mouth, right?" He Huan only felt chills all over his body, "He is Shen Jinglun in Jizhou, once it is done, he will be Zhao Yi when he returns to the capital, so many people must be killed, including Lin Xiyan." ”

Xie San continued her words and said, "I finally understand that Steward Hou must die, because he had seen the real Zhao Yi and Shen Jinglun more than ten years ago. ”

He Huan sat back in his chair and said distractedly: "He is a fake Shen Jinglun, so he doesn't know that the real Shen Jinglun went into the prison by himself." ”

He Huan's reason already believed that the real Shen Jinglun had already been killed by Zhao Yi, and the man who married Lin Xiyan was Zhao Yi, and the child in Miss Xie's belly was also his. It was for this reason that he would have such a strange reaction when he heard that Xie Minjun was still alive.

He Huan's reason believed it, but her feelings were unwilling to accept this speculation, she didn't believe that she had ever married such a terrible man.

"Maybe we're wrong. He didn't kill the people of the Lin family, and he didn't kill me...... If he wants to ascend to the throne as Zhao Yi, he must break with 'Shen Jinglun', including Nian Xi——"

He Huan stopped abruptly. He told her that Shen Nianxi was originally going to fake his death, because he found out that she was reborn, so he temporarily changed his plan. Shen Nianxi is "dead", and it will be Zhao Yi and his son who will return to the capital in the future.

"He's horrible." He Huan's hands and feet were cold, "If you don't show up, he will succeed." My aunt and I will be imprisoned by him for the rest of their lives......"

"He's so good at calculating." Xie San was also shocked, "He used Shen Jinglun's identity to portray Zhao Yi as a victim, and said that the former prince's rebellion was that Shen Jinglun was instructed by the former emperor and framed the former prince, because the emperor's mother confused the former emperor and conspired to make the former emperor abolish the former prince and pass the throne to the emperor." The words of the respected Uncle Shen were naturally believed by the people, especially those who had received his favor. As for the thieves, his original plan was to portray Zhao Yi as a hero against the Japanese and a good emperor who loved the people, while the emperor was a faint monarch who ignored the people of Li. He slammed his fist on the table, "He's so calculating!" ”

He Huan didn't know how to think anymore. Shen Jinglun, no, it's Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi has been "enduring humiliation" for ten years, and he has probably been waiting for Lin Xiyan to give birth to the moment he starts the first step of action. If she hadn't been reborn, Xie San hadn't appeared, after Shen Nianxi faked her death, Lingcheng would have been slaughtered, and the fake Zhao Yi would have appeared like a savior, and he would have gone to Lingcheng as Shen Jinglun, and after meeting the fake Zhao Yi, he would slowly reveal the "truth" ten years ago, and win the hearts of the people and fool the people.

Unfortunately, his perfect plan went awry. Because Xie San returned to Jizhou halfway to give her a bracelet, he escaped a catastrophe. Is this providential?

He Huan smiled sarcastically, her smile only lasted for a second, and her expression froze.

If Shen Jinglun is Zhao Yi, then Shen Nianxi is the eldest grandson of the former prince. If the emperor finds out about his cunzài, will he kill Shen Nianxi to prevent future troubles? (To be continued......)

PS: Did you guess that Shen Jinglun was actually Zhao Yi? I've been laying the groundwork since the beginning!
