Chapter 164: To save or not to save depends on what you mean
Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't speak, just turned her head to the side.
"You said there were three things you wanted to say to me, this is the first thing, but what about the second?"
Xiao Huaijin heard that she knew that Hua Zhen was unwilling to answer her words, and she didn't force her, but just smiled and said: "This second thing is the news I just got, the emperor has sent someone to escort Wei Guogong's family into Beijing, because not many people know about this matter, so the emperor did not publicize it, but just ordered someone to take control of the Wei Guogong Mansion, today you are afraid that you will not be able to see Wei Guogong's family." ”
Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this, this matter, since the last time Xiao Huaijin told her that Zhang Mang betrayed the Ning family, she already knew it in her heart.
So now listening to Xiao Huaijin say this, he didn't feel strange, just nodded.
Zhang Mang's matter, she had already sent a letter to Mrs. Ning.
Otherwise, Old Lady Ning would have arrived in the capital two days ago, and it was because he wanted to solve Zhang Mang's matter that he delayed for two days.
Seeing that Hua Zhen was not panicked at all, Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but smile and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hua Hao: "This is Old Lady Ning in Yongzhou City, let my subordinates hand it over to you." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen was stunned, she never thought that Old Lady Ning actually gave the letter to Xiao Huaijin, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin smiled and explained: "Since I decided to marry you, this Ning family can also be regarded as my in-laws, and I should help each other, so I secretly sent someone to protect it, don't you mind." ”
Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Xiao Huaijin's flattering face, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said in her heart, You have cut it first and then played, do I mind what's the use.
I immediately took the letter.
Since Xiao Huaijin had already sent someone to see Old Lady Ning, there was nothing to avoid him at the moment, so he opened the letter in front of him.
Inside was the handwriting of Mrs. Ning, and Hua Zhen recognized it.
There were only a few words in the letter, but they just reassured Hua Zhen that everything had been arranged, so she didn't have to worry, and there was nothing to worry about.
After reading it, Hua Zhen folded the letter and handed it to Jiaoyue, and then looked at Xiao Huaijin: "What about the third thing?"
"Then it depends on whether you want to save the prince or not. Xiao Huaijin said and motioned for Hua Zhen to drink tea.
Hearing this, Hua Zhen's expression suddenly became a little nervous, and she subconsciously drank the tea in her hand, and looked at Xiao Huaijin naturally carrying the teapot to add tea, and immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
"If you want to save the prince, then I will tell you this third thing, and if you don't plan to meddle in this matter, I don't need to tell you this third thing. Xiao Huaijin said and put down the teapot, the smile on his face was not reduced.
Just looked at Hua Zhen quietly.
Just looked at the change in Hua Zhen's eyes, and only spoke after a while: "What is it?"
"The prince raised 30,000 soldiers and horses in Luzhou, and these 30,000 soldiers and horses were raised by Zhang Ying with the money obtained by the Su family, and the person who trained these soldiers and horses was Zhang Ying's cousin Zhang Guang. ”
"The prince is raising soldiers privately!" Hearing this, Hua Zhen's heart shook suddenly, and she looked at Xiao Huaijin.
Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she was shocked when she learned that Zhang Ying and Jiangnan Weaving had conspired to kill the Su family, and the prince was behind them.
After all, this prince really doesn't look like such a ruthless person on weekdays.
Now listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, he suddenly understood why the prince wanted to attack the Su family.
It turned out that all this was just to get enough money to raise soldiers.
So when she told the prince that Zhang Ying's matter was exposed, the prince's first reaction was not to clear up the relationship, but to protect Zhang Ying.
The reason why this is the case is only because he is afraid that if something happens to Zhang Ying, Zhang Guang's matter will also be involved.
If it was just Zhang Ying's matter, then even if the prince was the mastermind, he would be abolished at most.
But if the matter of raising soldiers privately is shaken out, it will not be so easy.
The crown prince is the prince of a country, just waiting for the emperor to die, the whole world is his, and there is no need for him to raise troops privately.
There is only one purpose in doing this, that is, to seek power and usurp the throne in advance.
This is intolerable to any emperor, if the emperor learns, he is afraid that it will not be to abolish the crown prince, but to completely kill this son who covets his throne and even wants to seek power and usurp the throne.
Thinking that Emperor Yan Wen still wants to sacrifice King Qi to protect the crown prince, if he learns that the prince has the intention of plotting power and usurping the throne, I am afraid that the emperor will be furious and desperate to get rid of the prince.
"If this incident is true, this is pushing the prince to a dead end, how can you save him?Or is your so-called saving him to bury this matter completely, don't let Zhao Ting find out the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Luzhou?" Hua Zhen frowned slightly as she thought about it.
Xiao Huaijin looked at her and frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say: "Your frowning appearance is very ugly, don't frown like this in the future." ”
said that he reached out to stretch Hua Zhen's brows, but she subconsciously avoided it.
had no choice but to give up: "Indeed, if the prince raises troops privately in Luzhou, he will only be sent to the guillotine." But what if Zhang Guang said that he was ordered by King Qi to raise troops in Luzhou?"
"Do you want Zhang Guang to frame Zhao Ting?" Listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, Hua Zhen's heart couldn't help but move.
Then he shook his head: "This is unrealistic, first of all, Zhang Guang is Zhang Ying's cousin, as we all know, Zhang Ying is a person from the Prince's Mansion, and now let Zhang Guang say that he is Zhao Ting's person, I'm afraid that no one will believe it." And now that it has reached this point, Zhang Guang is afraid that it will be too late to escape, so how can he be willing to bite Zhao Ting. ”
"What if I have a way?" Xiao Huaijin looked at Hua Zhen with a smile when she heard this, her eyes full of smiles.
It was this smile that made Hua Zhen's heart move slightly, and she was a little stunned for a while, but she didn't expect Xiao Huaijin to smile like this.
Realizing that she had lost her mind because of Xiao Huaijin's appearance, Hua Zhen couldn't help but complain in her heart, she didn't expect to lose her mind because of this appearance in her two lives. Then he sorted out his expression, looked at Xiao Huaijin, and frowned slightly: "What do you do?"
I saw the corners of Xiao Huaijin's mouth slightly raised: "You just tell me, if you want to save the prince, if you want to save it, I will help you, if you don't want to interfere, let's watch from the wall." ”
One sentence suddenly made Hua Zhen stunned.
In fact, no matter in the past or present life, there is no kindness between her and the prince except for a benevolent and filial queen.
If it is based on Queen Renxiao's affection for herself, she has already reminded the prince last time, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.
Originally, she was not a compassionate person, and she would not work hard for others, if it was not good to meddle in this matter, let Emperor Yan Wen feel the clue, but he was afraid that he would be burned.
It's just that he is thinking about Wei Guogong's family right now, but he is starting to hesitate.
The prince does not have much affection for himself, but Mrs. Ning regards the prince and herself as seriously, with the palms of her hands and the backs of her hands.
Old lady Ning can not hesitate to put herself in danger for herself, and return to the dangerous capital from Lulong.
Naturally, he will be desperate for the prince.
In her life, in addition to avenging Zhao Yuankang, in addition to making those who hurt her life pay the price, what she wants to protect most is the Ning family, and the Ning family, the only one who treats her sincerely.
So she couldn't watch the Ning family risk their lives for the sake of the prince.
The emperor punished the prince so heavily at this time, firstly, in order to make an appearance for the world to show the hundred officials, and secondly, he wanted to take advantage of the time when the Ning family returned to Beijing.
Let the Ning family be in a hurry, and want to think of a son to help the prince clear his name and meddle in this matter, so as to give the emperor an excuse to deal with them.
Hua Zhen thought of this, and her heart became more and more worried.
Now let's not say that the Ning family has been put under house arrest by the emperor because of Zhang Mang's matter, if they interfere in the prince's affairs at this time, they will be in the emperor's arms, and even if Zhang Mang's matter can be exonerated at that time, the emperor can also use the prince's matter to play a role, so as to attack the Ning family.
Hua Zhen can ignore the prince, but she can't ignore the Ning family, so even if it is for the Ning family, she has to help the prince now.
Xiao Huaijin didn't force her when she saw this, just sat quietly on the side and poured tea for her.
After a long time, Hua Zhen met Xiao Huaijin's gaze: "Are you sure?"
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Huaijin's mouth raised slightly: "You just have to leave it to me." ”
"Okay, this time I just don't want the Ning family to be dragged into the water because of this matter, and I don't mean it, I mean me and the prince..."
Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin nodded: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I won't misunderstand." ”
After speaking, he put the refilled tea in Hua Zhen's hand, and watched Hua Zhen drink it subconsciously, and the smile in his eyes was even worse.
"Aren't you afraid that I will poison this tea?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, and rolled her eyes silently in her heart: "This joke is not funny at all." ”
"Hahaha. Xiao Huaijin immediately laughed, and it took a long time to put down the teapot in his hand.
"I live in the annex behind your county lord's mansion, and behind this corner door is the courtyard where I live, if you want to find me for anything, just knock three times in front of the door, and someone will naturally come and open the door with you. You just moved here today, and I guess these miscellaneous things are also distracting you, so you should rest early, and I will come to see you later. Xiao Huaijin stood up as she spoke, but she didn't leave, just looked at Hua Zhen gently, as if she was waiting for her to leave first.
Seeing this, Hua Zhen understood what he meant, and then stood up, but did not move, but looked at the corner door connected to the other garden, with a little calculation in her eyes, and then looked at Xiao Huaijin The corners of her mouth raised slightly: "It seems that I am just afraid that there is something to trouble Xiao Shizi now." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin looked at Hua Zhen, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter with you, but it's okay to say it." ”
"Please wait a while, let me go and prepare, and I'll be here soon. ”
Hua Zhen said and led Jiaoyue back to the theater directly.
