Chapter Fifty-Six: The Way of the Other, the Body of the Other
She understood that Grandpa's attitude had loosened, "Grandpa, because of the second uncle, the Zhenguo Mansion can't stay out of the matter." In this case, it is better to make your position clear thoroughly. ”
"What does Ah Han mean is that I choose to be on the side of the prince?!"
Xiao Han sighed: "Grandpa, I admit that I am selfish, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already a royal orthodox, and sooner or later he will inherit the unification..."
Although she didn't finish speaking, she felt that Grandpa should be able to understand the unfinished meaning of her words.
"It's a big deal, and I need to think about it." Zhen Guogong still hesitated.
After sending Grandpa away, Xiao Han also showed a helpless expression.
If she could, she didn't want to involve Grandpa.
But the second uncle is stupid, and he has to destroy the neutral status of the Guogong Mansion!
He is the rightful son of the Guogong Mansion, and it is difficult for him to make the emperor's uncle suspicious of his grandfather.
This caused Grandpa to have to make a choice, whether to choose to stand on the side of the family or choose to stand on the side of the royal family.
After returning to Huanxi Tower, Ziluo appeared beside her and said in a low voice: "County Lord, the leader has sent a message, please take a look." ”
After opening the note in her hand and remembering the message on it, she burned the note in her hand completely.
The news that came from the dark was about Wu Li, and since she doubted the relationship between Wu Yanyu and Su Fu, she had suspected him.
Then, he deliberately ordered the secret guard to keep an eye on his every move, and report any unusual movements to her at any time.
And the news that the secret guard passed just now was that Wu Ya and his group of friends met with Xie Lingzhi in Yanyu Tower, and a group of people discussed something about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the private room.
As for what was going on, the secret guards sent out were afraid of startling the snake, so they didn't hear it clearly.
It was about Xiao Qi, she had to pay attention to it, and wrote back to ask the dark guards to continue to keep an eye on them, and find a way to find out their purpose by the way.
At the same time, she was also afraid that Xie Lingzhi and the others already had the idea of harming Xiao Qi at this time.
So, secretly mention some brocade and pay more attention. After all, it has not been too long since the previous assassination, and it is difficult to guarantee that the previous situation will not be repeated.
In addition, she has also begun to step up the selection of suitable candidates.
Considering the complicated situation between the DPRK and China, she aimed at officials who had relatively simple relations and belonged to the neutral faction in the DPRK and China.
After sifting through these people, she finally selected five people.
Among these five people, two of them can be regarded as 'acquaintances' with her.
One is the superintendent of the imperial history Cui Guangxi, and the other is the head of the criminal department.
I have handled the Tongzhou case together before, and I understand their ability, plus their relationship between Korea and China is simple.
So, after seeing their names in the list, she didn't hesitate to circle the two of them.
After the previous Tongzhou case, Cui Guangxi was promoted from supervising the imperial history to serving the imperial history, and Zhang Wang was promoted from the head of the criminal department to the outsider.
Even so, the two of them still live in seclusion and are very low-key.
This style of not being shocked by honor and disgrace is the biggest reason why she likes the two of them.
So, out of the five, she was the first to visit both of them.
I thought it would take a lot of talking, but I didn't expect the two of them to agree easily.
Asked the reason, Cui Guangxi smiled and said: "Brother Zhang and I are both from humble families, no more than those children of the scholar family, it is easy to climb up with the shade of the family, we need to put in more efforts." ”
They have ambitions, which is not a bad thing for her, people have shortcomings, so they are easier to control.
After reaching a consensus with the two of them, she pursued the victory and went to visit the other three's homes.
With the exception of one who explicitly refused, the other two agreed to her request.
These two people, one is Zhou Chunhe, the director of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, and the other is Lin Zhengyue, a bachelor of Hanlin.
After obtaining their consent, she quickly reported the candidate to Emperor Wu An.
Looking at the four officials, "There is no problem with the candidates, but are you sure that only these four people are needed?!" Emperor Wu An asked.
Xiao Han replied: "His Royal Highness has not yet set foot in court politics, so it is not easy to be too public. Pingle felt that even these four people needed to lie dormant in secret before His Highness entered the court. ”
Her words made Emperor Wu An agree very much: "What Pingle said makes sense, but I still think that the team of the East Palace, just these four people, the number is inevitably less. ”
"Pingle doesn't hide it from the emperor's uncle, other candidates, Pingle plans to select the right person from next year's Spring Festival." She explained.
For her proposal, Emperor Wu An acquiesced.
This made Xiao Han breathe a sigh of relief, as long as there was the emperor's acquiescence, then next spring, she would have a lot more choices.
The days after that became very dull, and Empress Zhao directly exempted Xiao Qi from good morning, calling her sick to the outside world, and living in a simple place.
In Taixue, Wu Ya's gang tried to get close to Xiao Yan, but under her instructions, he did not refuse. After going back and forth, both sides became acquainted.
And she naturally has her considerations in doing this, since Wu Ya and the others are unscrupulous in order to get close to Xiao Qi, it is better to satisfy them and see what tricks they play.
Xiao Qi and 'Xue Hao' went out with them a few times, and found that it was just for fun.
They deliberately introduced all kinds of fresh and interesting things to the prince, and even once, Xie Bi even planned to give a singer to Xiao Qi, saying that the prince would try 'fresh'!
At that time, Xiao Han went with him, and when he heard the words, his expression did not change, but he was angry in his heart.
Finally, the prince's reputation in the court has improved, but they want to use this subordinate means to ruin the prince's reputation.
If this thing really spreads, the prestige that the prince has accumulated so hard will be completely ruined!
It was precisely because of this incident that she understood their true purpose, they were deliberately bringing Xiao Qi badly, wanting him to become a prince who only knew how to indulge in pleasure!
The matter of sending the singer touched her bottom line.
A few days later, it was rumored throughout the capital that the son-in-law of the Taichang Temple Temple Cheng Xie was abandoned by the Oiran of the Song in the Clouds. The other party was in front of the Xie Mansion with a big belly, clamoring to let the child in the womb recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
Because it was a blue sky and a white day, many people saw it with their own eyes, so the news spread more and more widely, and even the surrounding states and counties heard about it.
As soon as this incident came out, Xie Bi was directly expelled from Taixue on the grounds that he was 'virtuous and lacking' and was not worthy of being a student of Taixue.
Being removed from Taixue on the grounds of 'virtue loss' means that it will be difficult for him to enter officialdom in the future.
No matter how powerful the Xie family is, Xie Bi can only go to a small place to be a county magistrate at most.
And all of this was planned by her, and it was only to blame Xie Bi that she should not try to use 'dirty' things to ruin the prince's reputation.
When she does this, it's just 'the way of the other, and the body of the other'!
