Chapter 320: Troublesome Mouth
Qin Xiang didn't have the heart to play any game of post-house tricks with these noble ladies, but he didn't know that in the circle of noble ladies, Qin Xiang's name was already a household name.
really responded to that sentence: people are not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are still full of her legends.
On that day, Princess Wu personally taught the squire's family, but it spread in the circle of the powerful in the evening. There is also a little county lord who admires Qin Xiang, and is obviously very optimistic about Qin Xiang's existence.
King Wu's family has always been far away from the social circle, and King Wu himself is even more affectionate in the landscape, focusing only on calligraphy and painting. It was the prince who took the heir, and his nephew died, and the injuries did not cause this person to care at all.
It is even rumored that someone had gone to King Wu's mansion earlier to pull King Wu to his side. But King Wu drove away directly with his family and left a message of 'ignoring mundane things'. Some people say that King Wu doesn't know what to do, and he is not afraid of offending the future prince. Some people also say that King Wu's means are powerful, and staying away from the center of power and not being suspicious by the emperor is the foundation of his life.
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, King Wu's behavior is absolutely unique among the powerful, revealing a bit of uninhibited freedom. Some people are envious, some people are jealous, and some people even say that King Wu will offend people sooner or later if he operates like this. No matter what the outside world says, the Wuwang family still goes their own way.
And this time, General Huwei returned to Beijing with his family, and Princess Wu threw an olive branch, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
His Majesty has just crowned the crown prince, and the princes are about to be killed, Princess Wu is close to General Han's family at this time, but it is all at the behest of King Wu. Could it be that King Wu has not asked about the government and politics all these years, and it is all a measure to hide people's eyes and ears and deceive everyone? He actually wants the throne, so he contacted the Huwei Army?
If Han Yunxiao was just an ordinary general, I am afraid that everyone would not have such doubts. But the Huwei army has driven the Xidi army out of Xiyan several times, and this time Sidi came to attack, and the Huwei army turned the tide and broke the situation of Xidi suppressing the Xiyan army in one fell swoop.
What's more, General Han hung up his seal and left because His Majesty suspected that he would rebel, which led to suspicion and ambush.
The inside story is not a secret, and there are many people who know the details.
It is difficult to guarantee that General Han has long been dissatisfied with His Majesty, and he is even more displeased with the crown prince chosen by His Majesty. That's why you responded to King Wu's move?
What the powerful circle knows, the emperor naturally knows first.
He also knew what Princess Wu had done to reprimand and slander the Qin clan and praise the Qin clan. Even at this lotus banquet, every move of the visitors could not escape the emperor's eyes.
Since he was almost poisoned by his parents, he quietly established a spy team, scattered into the ministers' homes, and handed over the secrets of each family's back house to the imperial case.
The old emperor didn't trust anyone, especially Han Yunxiao and his ...... Seventeen Emperor Brothers.
King Wu is in his prime, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not recruit talents because he covets the throne. He often goes out to paint with money, perhaps to contact his subordinates.
Maybe Old Seventeen and Han Yunxiao have long been related, one of them is in the open and the other is in the dark......
Thinking of this, the old emperor's face turned pale, and he couldn't wait to immediately send someone to rush into King Wu's mansion and cut off King Wu's head.
When the prince saw this, his heart became more and more worried.
When he took the throne last year, His Majesty had a serious illness. After killing several rebellious princes and ministers, his body and bones gradually improved. After that, he devoted himself to teaching the prince.
But after the Huwei army entered Beijing, His Majesty's suspicion recurred, and it became more and more serious. Now it has reached the point where it is irreparable, and everyone will harm him.
If His Majesty really ignores it and directly uses King Wu and Han Yunxiao to open the knife, can this Xiyan be good?
Thinking of this, his heart shrank, and a little cold sweat oozed from his temples.
The emperor on the dragon chair was silent for a long time, but a pair of dragons already had a murderous intent in their eyes.
During the reign of the old emperor, political affairs were uneventful, and there were no political initiatives that could affect the entire country. But he was not as ridiculous as the first emperor, and he did not spend a lot of money to build the palace. Although he is not a Ming Jun, he can also be called meritless.
But since he reached old age, he has become suspicious. However, he knows how to exercise restraint, except for sending someone to assassinate Han Yunxiao back then, he has never done anything out of the ordinary.
But there are one and there are two, and the prince is really worried, if one day His Majesty is suspicious and begins to attack the ministers he suspects, who can prevent this from happening.
The emperor is mediocre, and there are no virtuous talents available in the court.
Although the western extension is safe, it still relies on the prestige of the Huwei army. Not to mention that in recent years, the powerful have known and enjoyed, and the court has also become smoky, and the harem has also begun to interfere in politics.
said that Queen Zhao, who controlled the government with her relatives, ended up with a full house of beheadings, but also sounded the alarm. Today's Empress Jiang, although she is kind and kind, is also a harborer of evil intentions.
His Majesty is stubborn and self-serving, and only wants to listen to what he likes to hear, and ignores the doubts of the outside world. Now he suspects His Royal Highness the Martial King and intends to kill him......
The prince took a deep breath, his heart full of worry.
With such an emperor and such a court, does Xiyan have a future?
"Peace." The emperor said: "Do you say that the old seventeen has a different heart?" ”
The prince hurriedly kowtowed, and replied seriously: "The slave has sent people to spy on His Royal Highness King Wu several times in disguise, and the answers they get are all the same. King Wu is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and his lifelong achievements end here. The minion dared to guess that even if he really sat in that position, it wouldn't take a few days for the country to be tossed away by him. ”
After he finished speaking, the old emperor was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, the cold sweat on the back of the prince was blown by the wind, revealing a biting chill.
"Alright, get up."
The prince stood up on his knees, and met a pair of eyes that did not smile.
The old emperor smiled and said, "You are really bold, and I am not afraid that I will treat you with great disrespect." ”
The prince arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, and the slave is naturally fearless. The minions have also heard about the recent rumors. Princess Wu is the daughter of a military general, with a hearty temperament, and she can't see anyone bullying women and children. The little county lord has a similar temperament to his mother, perhaps this is the reason why they are close to the county lord. ”
Only then did the old emperor remember that the princess married by King Wu was indeed the daughter of a military general, and she also pretended to be a man and followed her father in the army. Therefore, the combination of King Wu and this woman caused a shock. Everyone in the world thinks that such a deviant woman managed to enter the Wuwang Mansion.
He felt that the two of them were very commensurate, Princess Wu had no foundation, her family background was simple, and she would not bring any help to King Wu. Moreover, he, the princess, behaved even more out of line than King Wu himself, and the husband and wife were two wonders. So, with a wave of his pen, he directly gave the marriage and blessed the two of them to grow old.
Hearing what the prince said, he pondered the details.
"In your opinion, Princess Wu's actions have nothing to do with King Wu?"
"Exactly. Otherwise, there will be an exchange between King Wu and Han Yunxiao. But the slave sent someone to investigate, except for inquiring about Princess Daowu's love to buy dresses in the shop opened by the county lord's mother, there was no other intersection. This woman loves beauty, and it is common for her to love to apply grease and powder. What's more, after this incident, the princess never handed over the prayer post. It's ......" The princess paused, his eyebrows furrowed: "This rumor spread so fast, the slave is only worried, and there is a suspicion that there is someone behind him to push it, intending to split the brotherhood between His Majesty and the prince, and it is the way of His Majesty and General Han." ”
The emperor on the throne wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered, and after a moment looked at the prince, "In this way, they are all ignorant women chewing their tongues. ”
The minions thought that was exactly what they were. Wuwangren was not in the capital, and the spies sent to investigate said that he had been painting on Orange Mountain for more than a month. During this period, except for going down the mountain to buy dry food, he had no contact with other people, and he definitely couldn't exchange notes with Princess Wu. So the slave thinks that this matter is just jealousy between the women. Speaking of this, the prince couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "It's also strange that General Han looks too attractive, and the women of all families are worried about recruiting sons-in-law." ”
When the old emperor thought of Han Yunxiao's face, he also felt it, "That face is indeed too eye-catching." ”
"It's not ......" The prince laughed as if he thought of something: "But ah, this is also because of the blessing of the general's identity." When the slave was in Gancheng, he heard the county lord Niangniang say that when Han Yunxiao was in the countryside, his only suitor was a cousin who was cheating and cheating. It can be seen that his glory today is given to him by His Majesty. ”
When the old emperor heard this, his heart was relieved, and then he waved his hand to let the prince go down.
When he came out of the imperial study, he was greeted by a refreshing cool breeze, and the prince felt relieved.
Just now in the study, his spirit was highly tense, every muscle was tense, and it was difficult to even make an expression. Fortunately, although His Majesty is seriously suspicious, he likes to listen to people's praise the most when he is old. His untraceable praise is also belittling Han Yunxiao and Qin Xiang, Your Majesty is happy at this time.
It's dangerous......
He couldn't help but scold those noble ladies in his heart, every day when he had nothing to do, he knew that the banquets and poetry parties were like long-tongued women, and they almost ruined his good deeds.
In the twilight, after the palace gate was lowered, a figure quietly left from the corner gate.
Figures walked through the streets, and after a few back and forth, they came to a private house.
With a slight pull of the knocker, the back door opened, and the man tightened the cape and slid in.
Han Yunxiao twisted his eyebrows and poured him a cup of tea, "Why did you come out of the palace so late." ”
Pulling people down their hats, it is the prince.
He exhaled and sighed, "There was almost something wrong today." He told Han Yunxiao about today's emperor's attack in the imperial study.
Han Yunxiao's brows furrowed, and his expression was unpredictable.
"The miscellaneous family is only worried that if Your Majesty really does these things one day, how will the world end." The prince shook his head, full of sorrow. "I just sealed the crown prince, and I'm going to cause trouble again, is Xiyan really getting angry."
Han Yunxiao was silent for a long time, and then said, "Try to stabilize Your Majesty." I think the crown prince has a different temperament from His Majesty, he is a generous and intelligent person. He will succeed to the throne in the future, but he will not follow the old path of His Majesty. With the assistance of talented people, Xiyan will definitely return to its former glory. ”
"But...... It's been a long time. Although His Majesty did not mention it today, he issued a secret order to order the Forbidden Inspector to go to Orange Mountain as soon as possible. Once you notice that there is something wrong with the Warrior King, you will kill him. The prince looked at Han Yunxiao again, and said faintly: "You hold the power of the army, and your majesty is also afraid of it." Empress Chiang has a plan for His Majesty to pull you on the boat with her in-laws, so you have to be prepared. ”
Han Yunxiao sneered: "He is what kind of person I am Han, and I can also be at his mercy." ”
