Jian Xubai calmed down in the room alone for a long time, and finally went out with a peaceful expression.

He returned to the study in the front yard and called Yu Shiheng to come to him: "Now that the imperial capital is under siege, although martial law has been imposed in the city, there are many inconveniences in extraordinary times. You take a few people to Xuepei's place and ask them to move in with each other, so that if something happens, they can take care of each other. ”

After thinking about it, he said, "If Xue Pei doesn't agree, you can tell Grandma Jiang that now the grain, grass and medicinal materials in the shops in the city have been collected and allocated by the forbidden army defending the city." Xue Pei's legs were cold in the edict, and now it is cold again, if the decoction to nourish the body is broken, it will inevitably fall ill! In order to facilitate Aunt Yun's usual pondering of medical science, our Hou Mansion has specially set up a warehouse with hundreds of medicines. If they come to the Hou Mansion, it will be more convenient for Aunt Yun to diagnose Xue Pei! ”

Yu Shiheng took the order and left, and as soon as he said this, Jiang Muyao agreed on behalf of her husband without hesitation.

Regarding Yuan Xuepei's disapproval, Jiang Muyao immediately burst into tears: "I know why you refuse to agree!" It's nothing more than that I'm afraid of dragging down Yanhou's Mansion - but not to mention that you and Yanhou have been friends since childhood, the so-called friends are not just seeing the truth in times of crisis? Originally, every winter, your legs would not be uncomfortable. Now that the imperial capital is besieged, can't we go to the hot springs outside the city for you to relieve, is it difficult to even cut off the medicine? In that case, as Yan Hou said, if I fall ill, how will you tell me to live in the future?! ”

Yuan Xuepei said: "Then go over there and get some medicinal materials and come back." ”

"What about the doctor?" Jiang Muyao asked angrily, "Shanyao is pregnant, and someone said that the old lady Duanmu who returned to the imperial capital to seek medical treatment also moved to Yanhou Mansion - there is a female doctor in the mansion who is a doctor, how can you not follow the old lady Duanmu and Shanyao first?" With the whole city under martial law, how many times can Aunt Yun come to see you? Don't forget how your legs were broken, and now it's only natural that Jian Xiuhuan took you to take care of it! ”

"Since you are like brothers, you would rather have these legs abolished than betray him, shouldn't he take you over now?! It's hard for you to think about him for everything, he shouldn't have reciprocated you?! ”

Yuan Xuepei had never seen Jiang Muyao so angry, and smiled bitterly for a long time, but acquiesced.

Because the couple was already a civilian, they cleaned up quickly, and after half a day's effort, they followed Yu Shiheng to Yanhou Mansion.

Jian Xubai called Song Yixiao and greeted him at the door in person, explaining the reason why he didn't go to pick up people in person: "Such a big thing suddenly happened last night, and this morning I learned that the imperial capital was besieged, and there were too many things to get rid of, and I was afraid that I would be delayed if I was late, so I could only send someone to go, but I didn't mean to be lazy." ”

Yuan Xuepei and his wife naturally said they didn't mind - after such a greeting, Song Yixiao led Jiang Muyao to the backyard to talk, and Jian Xubai took Yuan Xuepei to the study.

"Xue Pei, who the hell are you?" After the two sat down in the study, Ji Su personally delivered tea and pastries, and then quit and guarded the door.

Jian Xubai opened the lid of the tea bowl with sweet white glaze painted plum blossom primrose, gently blew the tea soup, put it down, and said softly, "Is it grandmother, the Liu family, or the Shen family?" ”

"I knew you were going to invite me over, just to ask about this." Yuan Xuepei suddenly heard this, but there was no surprise, he only sighed and said, "So, Old Lady Duanmu has already made a deal with you?" ”

Jian lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the flickering gaze under his eyes, and said lightly: "But I still want to hear you say it in person!" ”

"The old lady really feels sorry for you." Yuan Xuepei pondered for a while, Fang Duan said with a bitter heart, "What's more, your wife and uncle have always been smart, otherwise He Lou Duhan is a champion anyway, how can he really teach him as a disciple?" If you really don't want to usurp the throne, it's good to assist him to be a wise monarch and achieve a good story. After all, he's also a child of the clan, isn't he? ”

"So, is my grandmother planning to make Guanyun the new king?" Jian Xubai set off a monstrous wave in his heart, and the old lady Duanmu learned the lesson of the revenge of the lord of Yishui by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and did what she said, she refused to reveal a word about the whole plan, and only let him sit and wait for the final result - but Jian Xubai is not a three-year-old child, knowing such a big event, how can he really do nothing?

However, he knew that this grandmother was very tight-lipped, and since he had made up his mind not to tell him about it, it would be in vain for him to entangle.

Judging from the clues that he has so far, Jian Xubai is not sure of the old lady's plan, so he took the opportunity of taking Yuan Xuepei and his wife to Yanhou Mansion to live temporarily, and cheated him, and now Yuan Xuepei really said an important news!

"Although Shanyao has always treated Guanyun well, but they are half-fathers, Uncle Hengshan has always respected my mother-in-law, you know, even if my mother-in-law was assassinated, Guanyun has always been taken by his side and pampered!" Jian Xubai stabilized his mind and continued to speak, "So the closest person in Guanyun's mind must be Uncle Wang-of course, the current situation is in the hands of my grandmother, so it must not be difficult to get rid of Uncle Hengshan!" It's just that if Guanyun becomes a generation of Ming Jun in the future, how can he not doubt the death of his biological father? ”

"When the time comes, my Yanhou Mansion will bear the brunt!"

"If you fool him as a puppet, the good lady will definitely not want to. I have no ambition to be the emperor in the first place, so why do you say that? ”

Yuan Xuepei has been friends with him for many years, even if he was originally ordered to deliberately get close to him, he has always been a little sincere over the years. Once he was broken out of the intentions of the year, although his expression was not obvious at the moment, his heart was a little worried, so distracted, he didn't see the flaws, he sighed for a while, and said: "If you are really afraid of falling out with your uncle, this new monarch candidate is not impossible to change!" It's just that if the new monarch who ascends the throne is your wife's uncle, you will be the first to get the moon near the water! If not, then the Shen and Liu families have a good chance! ”

He pointed out something else, "These two families have recuperated after all these years, and there are a lot of children!" It is said that there are many outstanding girls! ”

"When the time comes, through marriage and intimacy with the new monarch, Yanhou Mansion will be squeezed out of the way!"

"After all, to tell the truth, although the old lady is far-sighted, she is at this age. You don't have the assistance of your brothers, and the heirs under your knees are all young, and you have a way that two fists are hard to beat with four hands, if you don't have a close relationship with Xinjun, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against the Shen and Liu families! ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Xuepei showed a solemn expression, "The background of the Weisu family, if you want to come here in the past two years, you already have a foundation." Although Shen Liu has been dormant since Da Rui Dingding, this does not mean that they are fuel-efficient lamps compared to Wei Su - the Liu family has told us about a Yu Qinghan so far, but who knows how many similar cards there are in their hands? ”

Jian Xubai's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he blurted out: "Then Yu Qinghan is actually from Burning Quinoa Hall?!" ”

It's no wonder that Old Lady Duanmu is sure to support Lu Guanyun to ascend the throne!

"You're lying to me?!" It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth like this, Yuan Xuepei immediately came back to his senses, and couldn't help but change color and said, "Ah Xu, you! ”

"Grandmother just didn't tell me about it!" Jian Xubai hurriedly covered up, "You also said that my grandmother cares so much about me, why should she hide it from me?" It's just that many things made my grandmother sad to this day, so I quit before I finished speaking. After thinking about it, I invited you to come and talk. ”

Yuan Xuepei snorted: "Are you a fool for me? Just now I said that the old lady plans to make your brother-in-law the new king, but you are indifferent - you were surprised when you mentioned Yu Qinghan? If Yu Qinghan is not one of our allies, why does the old lady influence the new monarch's candidate?! ”

"Xue Pei, of course you are not stupid, otherwise how could you have coaxed me to have no doubt about you for so many years?" Seeing that he was annoyed, Jian Xubai didn't apologize, only said gently, "You know, I always thought that the two of us were really in love—at most, you wanted to borrow me to block your step-grandmother!" ”

There was no annoyance in his tone, but Yuan Xuepei was embarrassed when he said this.

There was silence in the study for a moment, Yuan Xuepei smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll be honest with you." ”

After a pause, "But it's only my part—I don't know why the old lady hasn't told you the ins and outs until now, but I think there must be the old lady's intentions in this, and I won't disobey the old lady, yes, the old lady's next arrangement, don't ask me, I won't tell you!" ”

After affirming this, he continued, "You ask me whose people I am: the Shen family, the Liu family, or the old lady's people. Actually, I can't say. ”

"My grandfather was born in Mingpeitang, and when Emperor Huizong was in the time, he was appointed to assist Concubine Shentu."

"The word 'Pei' in my name is taken from the hall name of Ming Peitang."

"My father's meaning is to tell me not to forget my roots."

He was not surprised to see Jian Xubai's eyes condensed, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, just like you think-Emperor Huizong's favorite Shentu concubine of the Sixth Palace, her background is not high, but her origin is not simple!" She is the handiwork of Xiliang Shen! ”

"Why?"

"Of course, it's because, the Shen and Liu families have guarded the tomb for three generations-His Majesty the Great Rui Taizu Emperor forced these two families to make such an oath to protect the Heclan, how could they not reciprocate?!"

"Concubine Shentu of Mingpei Hall, Mrs. Zhenyuan of Burning Quinoa Hall."

"Before they were favored, and even after they were favored, there were several such concubines and ladies, who were sent to His Majesty Emperor Huizong in a bright and secret way."

"These two are the most successful!"

"The resources of the Shen and Liu families are naturally all piled up on them, with them as the guide. Fire. Suo, troubled the dynasty, instigated discord in the royal family, and sought to seize the prince! ”

"In short, try your best to weaken the Lu family and shake the Lu family's society!"

"According to the plan, even if the Huizong Dynasty can't succeed, at least the root cause of the chaos must be planted for the Lu clan!"

"Actually, they could have won a big victory at that time - if it wasn't for Qingzhou Su's intervention!"

"Of course, although they fell short at the time, they still did it when they laid the groundwork for the decline of the royal family!"

Yuan Xuepei smiled bitterly when he said this, "Do you think the silence of the Shen and Liu families over the years is because they have not yet guarded the tomb?" The real reason is because in the early years of Xianjia, the killing of the first emperor greatly damaged the vitality of the Shen and Liu families, and the Ming son and the secret son who were in a high position like my grandfather and my father were almost gone! ”

"They had to be silent!"

"Now this Yu Qinghan is also young, otherwise, with his talent, it is estimated that he would not have been able to escape that catastrophe at the beginning!"

"After all, the Shen and Liu families...... Back then, with the strength of the two clans, they recovered the gate in the northwest from the barbarians! ”

"Even if their own clan is in seclusion, if the family foundation they have saved over the years is still there, how can their sect still need to go through the path of Ah Xu's place when they participate in the Spring Festival?"

- Thinking about Gu Shao, who is also from a family, the family of the Gu family in Hongzhou is not as good as Shen Liu, and it is obviously inferior, Gu Shao was sent back to his hometown by Emperor Xianjia for nearly 20 years, and during this period, he still has influence on the court?

The reason why the Shen and Liu families were defeated to the point where they needed the grandson of Jinxiutang to help them was entirely because Emperor Xianjia killed too hard back then.

In other words, when they laid out the layout, they were too deeply entangled with the royal family.

So when Emperor Xianjia killed his half-siblings...... Like the old Marquis of Boling, they all suffered!

When Jian Xubai heard this, he frowned: "I remember that when the first emperor killed the kings and princesses, the nobles involved in the meritorious deeds were all explicitly condemned for their crimes in order to show the law of the country. ”

Emperor Xianjia is not the kind of faint monarch who doesn't care about fame, how can he kill people for no reason?

He kills for good reason.

"But there doesn't seem to be an old Marquis Boling among them?"

Jian Xubai recalled, "Moreover, the first emperor killed the henchmen of Shentu Guifei and Mrs. Zhenyuan at the beginning!" If the Marquis of Boling's mansion is in it......"

How could it be passed on to Yuan Xuepei's generation?!
