Chapter 511: Who's Coveting Imperial Power?
At the end of the summer of the eighth year of Da Zhao.
There have been huge changes in the capital, and the young son of heaven Zhao Ze has suffered a stroke because he is greedy for the harem and indulges in prescription pills, and everything can't be ignored. Under the resolution of the two dynasties patriarchs Wang Weishi and the empress, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the little prince was enthroned as the emperor, and Wang Weishi and other elders assisted the government, and the queen Ning Shishi listened to the government
When such news reached Jiangnan, another shadow was being cast over there!
The first to notice that something was wrong was Huang Ying, judging from the account books collected everywhere, the dividends transferred to the Seven Princes actually exceeded the agreed share. At first, Huang Ying thought it was a mistake, and because of the identity of the Seventh Prince, she didn't care, but quietly talked to Xu Chang once, and then both of them chose to be silent
But in the following days, the funds benefited by Fu Ji Grain Bank shrank sharply again, and this time it finally shocked several people in the Song Mansion.
Under Qingyan's suggestion, everyone was invited several times, and the Seven Princes finally arrived at the new mansion of the Song Mansion to talk about things! But that time to talk about things, the people of the Seven Princes came, and even the soldiers from Zhao Ke's side came
On this day, the Seventh Prince Zhao Qinfang soldiers besieged the mansion of King Yanyun
"Brother Qin Fang, you have changed"
"I have changed, if it does not change, how can I take care of you, how can I take care of the orthodoxy of our Zhao clan?"
The little princess Zhao Jingxue looked at the seven princes with a blank face with a disappointed expression, and couldn't believe that this was the gentle and elegant Qin Fang brother she admired since she was a child
"How can you hold Song Yi's family hostage, my father said that he can be a teacher, you will anger him like this!"
"I'm learning from him, you know the news from the capital. Now that woman is in charge of the government, the country will not be a country, our Zhao family is facing the biggest crisis, I can do something while he is not there"
"But my father said that we can't go back to Beijing again, and I like my current life a lot, and I also like Xiao An'an, it's so sad for you to do this!"
"Xue'er, we are children of the royal family, and Song Yi is not! He has always been an outsider, and his strength has brought Zhao Ze a sense of oppression, and it also gives me a sense of oppression! He is getting stronger day by day, Yan Yun's reputation is rising day by day, and the party members have been defeated by Yan Yun, and no one can restrain him anymore, so I decided to enter Beijing, and I want to change the status quo! The Seventh Prince said coldly with a resolute face, he was no longer immature, a thin beard appeared on his delicate face, he looked haggard, and he was no longer the sunny boy he used to be!
Zhao Jingxue looked at the Seventh Prince in front of her in despair, and sighed with disappointment in her eyes, "I think you did something wrong this time!" If you insist on holding them hostage, lock me up with you." I'm going to see Xiao An'an now."
After speaking, Zhao Jingxue lifted the corner of her skirt and walked outside.
"Someone! Take Cher to the room and don't let her leave the door for half a step."
As the words of the Seventh Prince fell, the maids in the shadows of the two appeared and grabbed Zhao Jingxue's arm and took her away amid Zhao Jingxue's shouts
A complicated look appeared on the face of the Seventh Prince, and he suddenly sighed, his sigh had just fallen, and a figure broke in from outside the courtyard, rushed over angrily and grabbed the placket of the Seventh Prince's clothes, and reprimanded angrily, "Zhao Qinfang-you explain to me!! ”
"Qianqian, let go!" The Seventh Prince's face turned red, and his breathing was a little cramped, and he broke Zuo Qianqian's hands and said.
Zuo Qianqian let go of her hand weakly, but stared coldly at the Seventh Prince and asked, "You sue me, why are you imprisoning the Song Mansion?" Why? ”
In the distance, the two guards wanted to come over, but were held back by the Seven Princes with a gesture.
The Seventh Prince stared at Zuo Qianqian, and sighed with a complicated expression, "Qianqian, don't you understand that we grew up together?" ”
"What do I understand? I just understand that you are now on a path to darkness, can't you even tell who is good to you and who is not good to you? ”
"Who is good to me? Hehe, Qianqian, you were wrong! Although Zhao Ze didn't want to see me, he didn't do anything to me after all. And although Song Yi is good to me, his prestige threatens my Zhao Clan's status! Can't you think about it for me? Now that Zhao Ze is abolished, shouldn't I take action to save our Zhao clan's prestige? ”
Zuo Qianqian looked at the strange Seven Princes in front of her blankly, and suddenly gritted her teeth and sighed, "You will regret it!" ”
"I won't because I've learned to be strong, as long as I take over Song Yi's grain store, restaurant and other industries, I will have enough money! And because of the previous incidents, I have learned how to turn the power of Jiangnan into my own use, I now have soldiers and money, I can go back to Beijing, who can stop me? ”
The Seventh Prince said with a calm face, a confident look flashing in his eyes! Zuo Qianqian looked at him, suddenly shook her head and sneered, "You are crazy, you don't want to maintain the status of the Zhao family, you are trying to drag the people of the world into the quagmire of war, you are crazy!" ”
Zuo Qianqian sneered as she retreated and escaped from the Seven Princes' mansion.
When Zuo Qianqian ran away, she suddenly galloped outside the mansion, and then kept transmitting a piece of information into the mansion for a moment.
Not long after, the Seventh Prince's expression changed slightly, he held the piece of paper in a ball, and suddenly shouted, "Quickly let General Ning take five thousand soldiers and horses to the dock of Haizhen, and I will rush there immediately!" ”
As soon as the soldier left, the Seventh Prince suddenly remembered something, and suddenly called another soldier to let the fleet go around to Haizhen to intercept the small fleet at sea!
At the time of the Seventh Prince's order, Song Yi was indeed heading towards Haizhen, which was not far from Jiangnan.
Since that day, they came across the flotilla of Fish Head Chang not far from Goryeo, and the two sides found the sea area that had experienced the battle, and the floating planks were still floating around, but the corpses had already been divided by the sea fish in the sea.
But in the end, he still found a live mouth and a batch of gunpowder that was almost taken away by the Japanese pirates, and from the mouth of the lucky survivor, Song Yi finally learned the truth.
And this truth really chilled Song Yi's heart to the freezing point! The people who collected gunpowder and the fleet were indeed the people of the Seven Princes
Song Yi had doubts, but he always had some doubts, with the character of the Seven Princes, he couldn't decide such a big thing, but the truth of the facts still made Song Yi's heart extremely cold!
The Seventh Prince's interest in gunpowder was slightly noticed by Song Yi as early as the time in Yangzhou, but at that time, he thought it was just a teenager's curiosity about unfamiliar weapons! When he heard the news that someone was collecting gunpowder, Song Yi thought that it was his villain's heart and thought of the Seven Princes, but the facts proved that the Seven Princes were really doing it
So, what was the purpose of the Seven Princes collecting gunpowder? Song Yi wasn't sure, but he didn't want to delay for a moment, he wanted to reach Jiangnan immediately, and he wanted to know the answer immediately, because his home was there!
On the way to the voyage, he also began to do a difficult thing
