"That's what I said!" Zhao Qian smiled and said, "Although Your Majesty has such considerations, but he is not a person who allows others to threaten, if this really happens, I am afraid that he will choose to say that I will eradicate it with Zhao Qu, but if the lifeline of the Great Zhou collapses, if he wants to start a war with the outside world, it is impossible to support him without food, grass and silver, so this point is also where he needs to worry, of course, the premise is that Zhao Qu is of the same heart as us!" ”

"Zhao Qu, I don't completely trust it, we can test it again!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But for the time being, I will choose to believe him first!" ”

Zhao Qian thought about it silently, and said: "The economy can contain His Majesty, but it can't hold his lifeline, but if you just want to rescue Zhao Ling from the capital, I think it should be about the same!" ”

"I've thought about this, but there are too many troubles!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Zhao Ling can be rescued, but the Chu Palace, the Jin Palace, and the Jiang family will all be in danger, do so many people have to leave together?" Moreover, even if we can leave, Emperor Zhou will not stop there, even if we escape to Chen, we will face endless dangers, and Emperor Zhou will use this as an excuse to start a war against Chen, once the Great Zhou suppresses Chen in the war, even if the senior brother wants to protect us, but he can't leave his subjects and his family and country alone, and the ministers and people of the Chen State may not tolerate us staying, and then it will only put the senior brother in a dilemma! ”

"The strength of the Great Zhou makes the surrounding countries afraid, if it is not the Chen State, it is the same if it is to flee to other countries, as long as the Great Zhou is oppressed, there is no place for other countries!" Zhao Qian said.

"After thinking about it carefully, maybe there is only one way to work, that is, to really be able to kill Emperor Zhou, this is the plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle!" Jiang Xiaoyu said: "No matter what, you can't even involve the Chu Mansion and the Jin Palace, if you want to be involved, there is really no other way, maybe there is an absolute certainty of what will happen later, and using the economy to contain Your Majesty is just one of the means!" ”

Zhao Qian's face also became heavy: "Your Majesty will never tolerate someone who betrays him, if you want to do it, it will definitely be a very dangerous road, but it seems to be the only way!" It's not enough just a few of us! ”

"Of course you can't rely on just a few of us!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I don't know how many people dare to be enemies of Emperor Zhou, but I will continue to look for helpers, you just continue to do your own thing, don't let Emperor Zhou be suspicious, and then randomly investigate Zhao Qu This person seems to be reliable, but you had better maintain the previous antagonistic relationship!" ”

"I know this!" Zhao Qian said, "Whenever you need me, just tell me that Zhao Ling is my brother, and I will never give up for my brother!" ”

He lowered his eyes and thought about it, and then asked, "By the way, I want to ask you about something, where did he go after Li Changqing gave up the throne to your senior brother?" ”

"You can rest assured that the senior brother will not deal with him, he said that he was going to travel the rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that in order to avoid a minister from going to him, he will completely lose the news after leaving the capital, but I can be sure that he is safe, maybe the days of freedom in the rivers and lakes now are happier than when he was the prince before!"

"That's the best!" Zhao Qian said, "The rivers and lakes are free...... What a beautiful word, I used to look down on it, but now I feel more and more how good it is to be free and unrestrained! ”

"As long as everything goes well, this day won't be too long!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a firm gaze.

"By the way, let's go see Qiwen's mother and daughter!" Zhao Qian said, "Knowing that you came back safely, she will definitely be happier than anyone else!" ”

"Well, I miss her too!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.

Zhao Qian took Jiang Xiaoyu to Qiwen's yard, only to see Qiwen holding the child and coaxing her to sleep, she watched her brother enter, hurriedly made a silent gesture, and saw that her brother brought a strange man to come, quite surprised, in exchange for a nurse, let her take the child in to sleep.

Zhao Qian beckoned, let Qiwen trot over, pointed at Jiang Xiaoyu, and asked with a smile, "Do you know who he is?" ”

"Him?" Qiwen frowned suspiciously, "Who is he?" Have I seen it? ”

"Take a closer look!"

"I don't recognize it, have I really seen it? Could it be that after I gave birth, my memory deteriorated? Qiwen scratched her hair and said, looking very cute.

"Girl, you don't even recognize me?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

She frowned suspiciously, and it took a while to react, and just as she was about to speak, Jiang Xiaoyu gave her a look and said, "Let's go in and talk!" ”

When the three of them entered the house, Qiwen asked all her subordinates to retreat, hurriedly walked in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, took her hand, and said with red eyes: "Master, it's really you!" It's great that you're okay! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Qiwen gently, patted her cheek, and said, "I'm sorry for worrying you!" ”

"If only you were safe!" Qiwen wiped away her tears, "Really, I hope you can be safe day and night!" ”

Qiwen pulled Jiang Xiaoyu to sit down, and said, "Why is Master coming back now?" Is it safe? ”

"I have a sense of proportion in my heart!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Zhao Ling is still here, I have to come back!" ”

"Yes, there is also Brother Zhao Ling, I don't know how his injuries are recovering, I have been to the Chu Palace, but I can't see his figure, Your Majesty doesn't let anyone outside the Chu Palace, see him, but Concubine Liu said that his injuries are recovering well, but martial arts may not be able to recover, now Brother Zhao Ling is not the son, it is said that after a few days when Brother Zhao Ling's injury is better, maybe the people in the Chu Palace, he will not be able to see him, he will be imprisoned alone!"

"His situation really worries me a lot, Your Majesty is moody, you don't need to save him from the Chu Palace!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But let's just worry about these things, don't worry about it, just take care of yourself and your children!" ”

She touched Qiwen's head and said with a smile: "Just by looking at your appearance, I know that you have grown up, and Qiwen has also become a mother!" ”

"That child is very cute, with her, I really feel that life is a lot more interesting!" A soft glow appeared on Qiwen's face, but this brilliance quickly dissipated, she frowned slightly, and said, "I want to tell you I'm sorry, Master!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyu was puzzled, "Why did you do this?" ”

"If it weren't for the eldest grandson, you wouldn't be ......"

"Speaking of which, he's just doing what he's told!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But what does this matter have to do with you?" Don't think about it! ”

"No matter what, Master, if you can come back safely, it means that God is still on our side!" Qiwen said, "Brother Zhao Ling will definitely be safe, everything will be fine!" ”

"Yes, everything will be fine!"

After not staying in the Jin Palace, after meeting the county lord of Qiwen, Jiang Xiaoyu returned to his residence, and at the same time silently made a list in his heart, those can be completely trusted, those can be fought for, and those must be removed, in fact, what they want to do, although it is difficult, but it is not completely impossible.

The defense of the capital, there is a cavalry camp outside, there is a city guard, there is a royal forest army inside, and the god killing is in the preparation stage, the cavalry battalion is now in the hands of Changsun Chi, but the current state of a long grandson Chi, I don't know if Emperor Zhou will continue to let him master the cavalry battalion, and even more, it is not impossible to kill him, and the cavalry battalion has been adjusted by Changsun Chi, but Zhao Ling has been in the cavalry battalion for so many years, and there should be many subordinates who can be trusted. The commander of the city guard is the person left by his uncle, which is considered a secret move for Jiang Xiaoyu, this person can be trusted, but unless it is absolutely necessary, the relationship between the two will not be exposed for the time being.

The rest is the Imperial Forest Army, which can be said to be completely in the hands of Emperor Zhou, if Emperor Zhou dies, Concubine De and the five princes seem to be able to completely pacify the Imperial Forest Army? The city guards can contain the cavalry battalion, if they can lure Emperor Zhou out of the palace and out of the protection of the Imperial Forest Army, it is not impossible to wait for the opportunity to assassinate!

And with their current ability, it is impossible to confront Emperor Zhou, there is no other way than assassination, assassination is one thing, how to ensure that the Great Zhou is not chaotic after the assassination is also part of the consideration!

As long as there is no chaos in the capital, once Emperor Zhou dies, he can immediately support the five princes to ascend the throne, then the minister of civil and military affairs must also be appeased, this point needs to be infiltrated slowly, and there is no hurry!

Although Jiang Xiaoyu already has a general strategy in mind, but if it is really to be implemented, it is still very difficult, every detail needs to be carefully scrutinized, if there is a problem with one step, all the people involved in them will be in danger!

And the people at the core of this plan, in addition to a few of them, there are also the five princes and Concubine De, who are willing to cooperate, whether they are ruthless enough to do it to Emperor Zhou!

So next, you need to find a chance to meet their mother and son, and confirm their thoughts before moving on to the next step! Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes turned, and he had already thought of a way.

Jiang Xiaoyu prepared a generous gift on the second day, and gave it to the third aunt who is now in charge of the Jiang Mansion, she is now a businessman who came to Da Zhou to ask for wealth, and it makes sense to send a gift to Shangshufu, the third aunt wanted to return the gift, but after seeing the gift, she pondered slightly, and accepted the gift, and the next day she made an appointment with the gift-giving Zhou Gongzi to meet outside the Jiang Mansion.
