Chapter 166: Ran Yichen's Calculations
Gu Mingsheng was seriously injured and naturally couldn't go in person, but Gu Jinshu still learned about the night banquet from his uncle's house, and when he went back, he told Gu Mingsheng everything.
As for Shen Qingci, she sat in the corner not far away and was silent, if it weren't for Gu Jinshu's eyesight to know that he was in the study early in the morning, she would have thought that there were only her father and daughter in this room!
"Did your uncle say anything else?"
Since the last time she was injured, Gu Mingsheng has not hidden many things from Gu Jinshu, for example, she still needs to communicate with the Ye family at these moments, otherwise her news is too closed.
"The courtiers have already recognized his identity, and now they are only waiting for the people of the three clans in Jizhou to express their opinions, but he is the bloodline of Emperor Ming Xuan after all, and I think that these three families will only take Qiao."
This was her uncle's original words, but Gu Mingsheng shook his head slightly after hearing this: "The Xiao family, the Shen family, and the Yang family are the land where they live in Jizhou, and their prestige in this land is far beyond that of the northern clans, even if the blood of the emperor is afraid, they need to be tossed." β
He had heard some of the domineering of these three families in his early years, and it was precisely because he knew that it was a little difficult to know about it.
"If there is no matter of the Pei family, these three families will not dare to be too blatant, but who let the affairs of the Pei family happen at this time!"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a bureau, but even if it is a bureau, it is a painting book signed by Pei Lang, which says in black and white that he and Ran Yichen killed the royal secret guard, even if the prince wants to protect it, he is afraid that he is powerless.
"Does the old gentleman have a high opinion?"
Today's situation can be said to be changing rapidly, although Gu Mingsheng is loyal to Emperor Ming Xuan, he is only the shadow son of Emperor Ming Xuan, and the distance between the prince is too far.
ββ¦β¦ You just need to call me sir. β
Shen Qingci's most taboo thing was that others said that he was old, especially in front of Gu Jinshu, and Gu Mingsheng was obviously stunned, looking at his somewhat gray hair and silently withdrawing his eyes. As for Gu Jinshu on the side, he held back a smile, this person is really an arrogant maniac who can't hear the truth.
"Does the gentleman have a high opinion?"
Looking at his serious look, Gu Mingsheng finally rephrased and asked again, and Shen Qingci's eyes swept lightly from Gu Jinshu's body, and said lightly: "The eldest girl has returned from the Ye Mansion, so naturally she has also inquired about some news, I still want to hear the eldest girl's opinion." β
With a smile gradually converging, Gu Jinshu rolled her eyes towards the void, and Gu Mingsheng was also puzzled and said: "Thank you, Mr. is looking up to me, it's just that my daughter has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, but she doesn't have these political consciousness." β
"Oh...... You can cultivate it properly. Shen Qingci mentioned slightly, and looked at Gu Mingsheng's instantaneous appearance and shifted the conversation slightly, "Zhou Nianzhen's ascension to the throne is already a sure thing, and now it is just a game with the Jizhou family." β
Since the capital is rebuilt in Jizhou, then many interests will have to be redistributed, to say that the relationship between the southern clan and the royal family is naturally not as good as the northern clan, but the wonderful thing is that he needs to be the king and hegemon at the door of the people, and he naturally has to pay something.
"What does the Jizhou clan want?"
"Enter the court."
In the past, the clan of Jizhou only sent outstanding sons of their own family to serve in the capital, but now the world is messy, and the Beicang Kingdom is eyeing each other, and many things have to be changed, and these family heads will naturally not be stupid enough to give way to others.
Gu Mingsheng frowned, and analyzed seriously: "If you want to say that the ministers of this auxiliary country, the Pei family must occupy a seat, and the prince's foreign family, the Cai family, is also very likely, judging from this night banquet, the Zhao family of Weibei Marquis should also be His Majesty's people." β
Now it is the time when the martial arts will be the first, the Zhao family of Weibei Hou is known as the brave, and now the Weibei Hou has been taught by Yan Wu, and he is also quite proficient in the art of using soldiers of the Qi family, and if he wants to resist the Beicang Kingdom in the future, this person must occupy a place in the court.
In the prosperous years, the three assistants have become a corner, but now in troubled times, it is not impossible to divide the situation according to the situation of one as the respect and five as the auxiliary.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was afraid that he also thought of this at the beginning, and wanted to take this opportunity to divide the relationship between the three families, so as not to let the prince be controlled by others everywhere, but these three families are obviously not fools, and they don't drill into that set.
Therefore, now it is a concerted effort to squeeze out the candidates in the northern auxiliaries.
Gu Mingsheng had already thought of a lot of things through Shen Qingci's mention, but it was precisely because he thought too much that the sweat on his forehead couldn't help but increase.
ββThe outcome of this game will directly affect the power of the crown prince in the future, so the slightest carelessness will hurt both sides.
The same moon shines on different sleepless nights.
Ran Yichen's mood at this time was also very irritable, after conquering Qinzhou, he killed a lot of people, and it can even be said that there is no one in Qinzhou, although Beicang is a nation where the brave is the king, but there are also many Great Zhou people who have served in the court over the years.
This massacre has caused those people to fight back, and among them, the Imperial Historical Observatory is the most, but there is a faint trace of the woman behind the Imperial Historical Observatory.
He was already unhappy because of this matter but didn't want him to frown one after another, Zhou Nianzhen was still alive, because of this matter he lost his temper with Honglian, and the strong seed went to Jizhou directly in disguise, and there was no news.
"Isn't there any news of Red Lotus yet?"
"Back to the master, there is no news from Jizhou."
The man in black knelt on the ground and answered the news he had received, while Ran Yichen sighed, he deliberately let the thief steal the letter out, and then sent someone to make friends with him and went to Jizhou.
Although that person is dead, the impact he caused will not be lightly revealed, and the three tribes of Jizhou are not vegetarians.
As long as the contradictions between the clans in the north and the clans in the south continue to intensify, what if Zhou Nianzhen is alive? Isn't it angry at both ends?
The reason why he asked Pei Lang to sign the letter of association was originally to threaten the people of the Pei family, but he didn't want the people of the Pei family to be the masters who would not shed tears without seeing the coffin, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty gave all his trust to the Pei family, so this matter naturally came to an end.
But he didn't want Emperor Ming Xuan to hang himself, and now the little prince fled all the way to Jizhou, and this letter really played its role.
In Jizhou City, Pei Lang stayed awake all night, looking at the sun gradually rising in the east, he wanted to sneak out, but he never thought that Pei Jinniang had already arrived at the door one step ahead of him, turned around and stared at him lightly.
"What are you going to do?"
Although Pei Jinniang is a woman, she doesn't know if it's because she is a little older or what, Pei Lang will always be involuntarily obedient whenever she sees her.
