He Zhan was at the bottom of the steps, and he saw the King of Jin and his entourage go to the end of the road, turning into the cross street to the north, he turned around, and saw the bottom of the lintel of the door, under the oil-paper umbrella held up by the maidservant, the girl's posture was already Tingting, wearing a small jacket with a red silk jacket, tied with a pomegranate skirt, stepping on the rain sandals, and covering the shoulders, as if it was the only bright color on the gray and wet rain street in this Xiao killing season, so that he unconsciously had an illusion, time vaguely returned to more than ten years ago, he was ordered to travel far away, the girl was like this, the pommel horse went far, he couldn't help but look back, The warm smile can still be clearly seen.

She was already a girl of the same age as she was at that time, and although her eyebrows were different, her height seemed to be the same.

"It's raining heavily, why are you still coming out?" He Zhan took the umbrella in Binu's hand and returned with Eleven Niang, when he passed through the front yard and entered the screen door, there was a verandah to protect him from the rain, so he put away the umbrella and put it aside.

"I think of back then, when you left, you were still taller than me, but now you are ......" He Zhanping bent his arm and gestured at the size of Eleven Niang, and stopped slightly on his chest: "I knew that Fifth Sister Pei's height was not worth my indignation." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing: "Fourteen Lang is so broad-minded. ”

This was obviously a sarcasm, but it made He Zhan smile.

But he soon heard something that turned to laughter.

"King Jin's mood seems to fluctuate a little, and I don't know if he can still hold it down, if he can't keep calm, the Wei family in the palace is afraid that he will have to worry about his life."

He Zhan was stunned by these words, and only after a few breaths did he come to his senses, stepped forward and pulled the girl who was still walking forward slowly: "What do you say?" ”

"If you are cautious and cautious for a long time, how can you really indulge in drinking? It is important to know that once this person is drunk and loses his nature, it is easy for people to see the clues. Eleven Niang smiled lightly and told King Jin about persuading her to use her illness to avoid disaster.

In the past four years, through the introduction of Wei Daxiangguo and the relationship between Yingyang Zhenren, He Zhan has not only become a frequent visitor to the Hanxiang Palace, but is often invited to participate in the palace banquets of the Empress Dowager Wei in various names, and also mixed up with the rank of General Shilang.

So, under the hint and recommendation of the Queen Mother, He Zhan successfully obtained the attention of He Yan, the son of heaven, by virtue of the opportunity to learn from Jiang Shi, He Zhan himself is a child of the clan, He Yan regards him as his own son and nephew, if it were not for the eleventh mother's insistence on letting He Zhan enter the government through the imperial examination, I am afraid that he has been ministered at this time.

Although the way of appointing officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not limited to the imperial examination, but in the eyes of many scholars, it is not as good as the right way to enter the imperial examination by virtue of their origin, door shade and other "side roads", especially when the Ming monarch was in power, the important ministers and high-ranking officials were all out of the imperial examination, and the officials who were in the shade of the door could not even serve as the Qing officials.

Although Eleven Niang and even He Zhan himself are positioned as "power traitors" in their career planning, they don't want He Zhan to suffer from the roots, and if there is an opportunity to turn traitor into loyalty in the future, at least they will not be criticized because of their qualifications.

Generally speaking, at this time, He Zhan was favored by the "two palaces", and his status was similar to that of the provincial officials in the palace, and he was a cronie and noble, and he often went in and out of the forbidden middle, because he had traveled all over the country and knew a lot about civil affairs and county affairs, and was often asked about government affairs by the Son of Heaven, as one of the channels to understand the people's livelihood in addition to the book. Another important task for He Zhan is to accompany the King of Jin and organize a bow tournament with the participation of nobles from time to time in the Forbidden Garden.

As a result, He Zhan had no shortage of opportunities to have direct contact with Qin Sang, who was still a member of the Zichen Palace.

Although supporting He Ye is only a preliminary idea after discussion between Eleven Niang and Xue Luli, since there is this idea, we must pay special attention to King Jin.

From Qin Sang's mouth, He Zhan already knew what happened behind the Shuo Ri Dynasty meeting four years ago, and the reason why the Son of Heaven reformed and dismissed Xie Raoping on the spot was that the concubine used the Ji De case to link Xie Raoping with poisoning Empress Pei, and even made the Son of Heaven believe that Pei Zheng was plotting rebellion because Xie Raoping and Mao Wei's henchmen framed him.

However, because the concubine intended to protect He Ye, Qin Sang only thought that the central role of King Jin was just to seconded He Yan to serve the concubine, and he didn't know that in fact, the reason why this matter was successful was that He Ye was the one who made plans to control the overall situation.

However, because Shi Niang knew that He Ye had sent the eunuch Jiang to remind Mrs. Wei that she had taken action before the Shuori Dynasty meeting, it was best to remain neutral, and not to involve the Queen Mother's intention to come to the court, of course, she guessed that the role of King Jin was not small, and she resolutely did not only provide a prosecutor.

So he was even more sure that He Ye's city was deep, and under the pressure of Empress Dowager Wei step by step, he grew up in a sinister environment, and his mind was different from that of ordinary teenagers.

Just said that at the moment, Shi Niang further analyzed the heart and actions of King Ye: "Violent and arrogant is undoubtedly a disguise, however, it is necessary to be sure that King Jin is ambitious but too arbitrary...... His respect for He Yan is not like a disguise, and there are only a handful of people who can be respected by the King of Jin at the moment, whether it is a concubine, an aunt, or even Jing Zhaoliu, it is actually because of He Yan's closeness. ”

He Zhan bowed his head in agreement.

"Let's just say that the incident of instigating He Yan to be hostile to Xie and Mao is probably because the King of Jin does not want to see the Empress Dowager Wei in charge of the country, especially secretly signaling Mrs. Tai to be calm and not messing up, it is really for the sake of the safety of the concubine, He Ye did not hesitate to expose his strength back then, and he looked really impulsive, but he was also too hard, and he was really loyal to He Yan, he trusted the concubine, so he did not hesitate to join hands with him."

In Shi Niang's opinion, although He Ye's mind is not better than that of teenagers of the same age, after all, he still has some teenagers' temperament, and sometimes he is inevitably impulsive.

"But I have to say that King Jin is more calm than the concubine, since Xie Raoping resigned as prime minister and He Yan returned to power, in the past four years, He Ye has no impulsive actions, and still insists on his false impression of being violent and unkind, doing what he wants, and not learning and unskilled, even in front of He Yan, he has not exposed any ambitions."

Since He Zhan has the qualifications to enter and exit the forbidden area, his contact with King Jin is increasing day by day, in fact, most of Shi Niang's comments are based on He Zhan's summary.

"King Jin must know that the Son of Heaven is by no means the opponent of the Queen Mother, but the Son of Heaven is foolish and filial, if it is leaked in front of the Son of Heaven, it is difficult to guarantee that the Son of Heaven will not commend the King of Jin in front of the Queen Mother, but it will cause the Queen Mother to be jealous." He Zhan said.

Eleven Niang smiled: "He Ye is witty and understands that compared with the Son of Heaven, the concubine knows the Queen Mother better." ”

Therefore, it is impossible for the concubine to rehabilitate the stubbornness and contempt of King Jin in front of the Queen Mother, but the Son of Heaven is not.

"But this time, King Jin didn't even take a more tactful way, but bluntly told me and pretended to be sick, aren't you worried that if I leak my mouth, the words will reach the ears of the Queen Mother, and I will be on guard against him?"

He Zhan frowned, and after a long time, he bowed his head slightly.

"King Jin seems to have the heart of jade burning!" Eleven Niang concluded.

These words made He Zhan even more stunned, but he was good at trickery and cunning, and quickly thought of the reason: "Are you suspicious...... King Jin already knows about the heir of the Son of Heaven? ”

Since Qin Sang understands everything, it is impossible for the concubine not to know about it, but although He Ye is close to the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to speak directly about such things, but if the concubine informs the King of Jin...... He Zhan clenched his fists: "The Son of Heaven has no son, so there should be a meaning of making the King of Jin the crown prince, this matter...... Presumably, after the concubine found out, she told King Jin to be prepared, and he could no longer let his reputation be ruined! ”

"But King Jin should know that this matter is a crisis for him, a sinister one, and an opportunity, but the danger is greater than the opportunity." Eleven Niang affirmed: "King Jin is sure that he will definitely die." ”

He Zhan sneered: "Even if King Jin can assassinate the Queen Mother, wouldn't Wei Haichi be lucky to die like this?" Don't say that you are unwilling, even I think it is too cheap, the Son of Heaven will not expose the crime of framing Zhongliang by his biological mother no matter what, as soon as Wei dies, even if Xie and Mao Zhu's parties will be cut off, however, the Pei and Zheng clans will not have a day of snow. He took a deep breath: "How can you stop King Jin?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "There is no need to stop it, I have already ordered two sentences, if He Ye still insists on going his own way...... Even if it seems that He Ye is not ruthless at the moment, then, in order to be the king of chaos, it is far from enough to be affectionate, if he is really so impulsive, it is not our expectation, let alone the holy lord of the world, and besides, if the king of Jin really succeeds...... In the future, it is not hopeless for Pei Zheng Zhaoxue, and he is not afraid that there will be no chance to expose Wei Haichi's whip corpse to the wild! Merely...... It will be more dangerous, and there is only about the more sinister road of Jiangshan Yi's surname. ”

It's not that Eleven Niang is loyal to the surname He, but at this time, even if the Empress Dowager Wei has no way to do it, and the Son of Heaven He Yan is cowardly and incompetent, but on the whole, the Great Zhou Dynasty has laid the foundation for a hundred years of prosperity, and the clan surnamed He is still supported by the people's important ministers, and rebellion can only be a dangerous way without other choice.

If Empress Dowager Wei dies, the successor has no grudge against her, even if she can't publicize it for the sake of family ugliness, she will not be allowed to look through Pei Zheng's case and make the truth of the year public.

If Eleven Niang wants to achieve her goal, she can only subvert this country.

The odds are one in one.

Of course, she hopes that there will be a shortcut to choose, after all, He Ye is the concubine of the first emperor, with a name, and he has a mother-killing enmity with Wei Haichi, if He Ye can really become the prince, he is not afraid that he will not have the opportunity to set things right in the future.

But it all depends on He Ye himself.

Eleven Niang looked up at the cloudy sky outside the corridor.

He Zhan stood side by side beside her.
