Chapter 47: Suspicion

I haven't seen him for many days, Shen Qiaoshen still has some new ideas, and he wants to talk to Ji Qingyuan about it.

After all, writing a letter is not as direct as face-to-face communication.

"Sir, do you know what happened yesterday?" Shen Qiaoshen asked softly.

Ji Qingyuan pondered for a moment, and did not answer immediately, but instructed Bai Shu, who was standing aside:

"The kitchen has made a new tea cake today, you go and bring some to the girl."

Baizhu nodded, grimaced at Shen Qiao Shen, turned around and ran downstairs.

Seeing his small figure disappear outside the door, Ji Qingyuan said lightly:

"Early this morning, the news spread."

"Spread all over?" Hearing the point of his words, Shen Qiao subconsciously repeated.

Ji Qingyuan nodded, "In fact, I think that as early as last night, the various mansions in Beijing already knew what they should know." ”

Shen Qiao was calm, all the forces in Beijing and China have been entrenched here for many years, and the roots are deep, so they naturally have their own sources of information channels.

Moreover, most of the people who entered the palace yesterday were above the third grade, and they were in high and powerful positions. At first glance, when he heard Emperor Chongming's will, he must have rearranged it after returning home.

Shen Qiao thought of something and couldn't help but exclaim.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I suspect that Your Majesty's actions last night were deliberate." Ji Qingyuan said in a deep voice.

Shen Qiaoshen's eyes flashed a little suddenly, and then a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

"In this way, the matter of the three princes ......"

Ji Qingyuan immediately said, "The gun shoots the first bird, the third prince...... It's just an example of killing chickens and monkeys. ”

Shen Qiao said in his heart Sure enough, the matter of establishing a reserve has never been a child's play.

At the palace banquet last night, it seemed to be an impulsive move by Emperor Chongming, but after Ji Qingyuan's analysis today, Shen Qiaoshen suddenly felt that this might have been the layout carefully planned by Emperor Chongming.

Shen Qiao sighed deeply, Emperor Chongming's move was really good.

The eldest son of the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty was born by the Shen family of the Yuan Dynasty, whether it is according to the 'Liyan' or 'Lichang', it is really justified.

Other princes other than him, even if they are the third princes, even if they can be said to be concubines, but after all, they are descendants, and their status is not as noble as the eldest son of the emperor.

However, the Shen family of the Yuan Empress has been immortal for many years, and Emperor Chongming has rarely mentioned his original partner and eldest son since he ascended the throne. This attitude has also made many people's hearts a little eager to try, and after so many years, the princes have gradually grown up, and they are even more unbearable.

Emperor Chongming appointed him as the crown prince at this time, which is enough to show the importance that the saint attaches to the Empress Yuan, as well as the nostalgia for the old people in Qianfu, and it will also make the Qingliu faction in the court bow to him.

You must know that these old ministers, who only adhere to orthodoxy, are now old and have long stopped participating in court politics, and they seem insignificant. But which is not a protégé everywhere, peach and plum full of dynasty. Their decisions often affect the whole body, and their power is really not to be underestimated.

On the other hand, the third prince, as the only living concubine today, has many supporters.

As a relative, the Li family relies on the identity of Empress Li and the third prince, so it is naturally a rising tide.

In addition, the current head of the Li family, Li Chun, the father of Empress Li, is a left-handed minister.

According to the rules, once the seal is sealed, the queen's father will be crowned the Grace Prince. However, in order to avoid the dictatorship of foreign relatives, most of them will be granted idle positions after being knighted.

When Emperor Chongming ascended the throne, the Shen family had died, and it was natural that the Shen family did not want this title.

But when it came to Li Chun, Emperor Chongming still didn't react, and still let Li Chun, who was a relative, be in a high position and have power in his hands.

This move has made the Li family infinitely beautiful in the court, and in recent years, the three princes have gradually grown older, and they are even more indistinguishable.

For a while, the court and the central government also acquiesced, and the position of the crown prince must be the third prince.

But obviously, the luck of the Li family, it seems that it is only here at present.

With the thunderous act of Emperor Chongming at the palace banquet last night, everyone suddenly realized that even if the third prince is the only concubine at the moment, for Emperor Chongming, he is no different from other princes.

If you think about it deeper, you will think that Emperor Chongming's seemingly sudden stroke of genius may be because he wants to suppress the arrogance of the Li family.

For so many years, Li Chun and the three princes formed a party in the previous dynasty for personal gain, Empress Li was flying in the harem, and the Li family also had a queen and prime minister, and the children of the clan bullied men and women in private, and did all kinds of evil.

These Chongming emperors looked at them one by one, but they always watched coldly.

It was because of his deliberate "connivance" that the Li family's power continued to grow and develop to the current situation.

It seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it is cooking oil.

But through last night, presumably the Li family and the three princes must have understood what it is:

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en." Shen Qiao muttered.

It seems unintentional, but it leads to the overall situation.

The emperor's mind is really unfathomable.

……

Ji Qingyuan nodded, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

Shen Qiaoshen is indeed the smartest junior he has ever seen, although he is still young and a woman, he has a clear mind.

Every time he just needs a little nudge, she can immediately draw inferences and see extraordinary things everywhere.

Back then, Ji Qingyuan didn't meet him, and he could only hide in the streets and alleys all these years, away from the court.

On weekdays, I ushered in the send-off room, and I didn't talk about political affairs.

But for some reason, every time Shen Qiao humbly asked for advice, he was willing to teach him.

He was a thoughtful person, and from Shen Qiaoshen's occasional words, he also knew that she was not as simple and harmless as she appeared.

Even sometimes, he could faintly feel that this girl who looked weak and couldn't help but have an unusual fierceness in her eyes.

This makes Ji Qingyuan often puzzled, you must know that the restaurant has always been a crowded and well-informed place.

He is naturally clear about Shen Qiaoshen's background.

The concubine of the Jianwei General's Mansion has been dyed Shen Ke since she was a child, but she is still loved by the Shen Mansion, and even the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine in the palace are also very fond of her.

And she lingers on the sickbed all day long, rarely goes out, occasionally attends banquets with her mother, and because of her frailty, she needs to be served by someone around her from time to time.

But from Shen Qiaoshen's first appearance in Zuijiangyue and the subsequent correspondence, the feeling she gave Ji Qingyuan was completely different from the rumors she heard.

She does look pale and thin, but she is well-read and reasonable, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and she is not as unbearable as others say.

But what Ji Qingyuan found strange was that it stands to reason that Shen Qiao was born in Zhong Mingding's family, and he has been favored since he was a child, his family is harmonious, and his life is smooth. General Shen and his wife have always been affectionate, and the Shen family has no messy pickles in other people's backhouses.

Shen Qiaoshen has grown up to now, and most of them are not out of the door, and the biggest trouble for a girl of this age is where the rouge is the most fragrant, and whose clothes are the most beautiful.

But the eyes she occasionally showed were not only not like high-ranking ladies of the same age, but more like weathered old women......

But in life, it is rare to have a confidant. For Shen Qiaoshen, a young "little friend", Ji Qingyuan also really treats her as a junior valued by his family.

So sometimes, he will also persuade a little tactfully, for fear that she will do something stupid at a young age.
