Chapter 44: Uncle Guo Returns to Beijing
Jiang is still old and spicy, as long as Zhou Dewei thinks calmly, he can turn things around.
Money?
With his connections above 10,000 people, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it.
Zhou Dewei promised the people of Qianzhuang that he would definitely return it to them in the future just to invest in some construction of the imperial court, and gave it a year as a deadline.
Whether the bosses believe it or not, they can't refute it, who dares to offend the powerful Prime Minister.
……
Early in the morning, the governor of Yunzhou entered Beijing.
Liu Changqing, the governor of Yunzhou, is the elder brother of Empress Liu Ning, and he became the governor by virtue of the name of his uncle.
The emperor has been mourned until now, he is busy with official business, and has not come, this time he entered Beijing, nominally to mourn the emperor, but he did not get the holy decree to enter Beijing, but it is also a taboo.
In fact, it was Liu Ning who couldn't bear the loneliness and depression, and summoned him back by secret letter.
Zhou Dewei was slow to move his troops, and Liu Ning felt that this old guy was unreliable, so he could only find his mother's family.
Liu Ning is the uncle of the country, and he doesn't need to pass the decree when he enters the palace, so he goes directly to the harem.
"Sister, won't Zhou Dewei help you?"
"Humph! This old thing, he knows that Mingzhe protects himself, and when it comes to a critical moment, he will shake his hands, as if everything has nothing to do with him, this kind of person...... Unreliable. Brother, I must not let Qin Chuan ascend the throne, otherwise our Liu family will be finished, and you, the uncle of the country, will not be able to keep it. ”
Liu Changqing said in difficulty: "I don't have military power in the capital, and I don't know anyone, I want to contribute, but I only brought three retinues into Beijing, what can I do?" ”
"You have been in Yunzhou for eight years, haven't you saved up money?"
"There is some money, but there has been a famine in Yunzhou for three years, it is a thousand miles of red land, I only have a few million taels of silver in hand, what can I do?"
"Really, this can't work, that doesn't work, do you want to watch Qin Chuan ascend the throne and kill my Liu family? Elder brother! You're the pillar of our family, and you've got to figure it out. ”
Liu Changqing also looked helpless: "Sister, the edict of the first emperor has come down, what can I do?" I'm just an outgoing official, this matter is decided by the people of the clan, even Zhou Dewei doesn't dare to act rashly, I ......"
"The people of the clan have not seen the edict."
This sentence instantly cheered up Liu Changqing.
His eyes lit up: "What did you say?" The edict of the first emperor, those people from the clan have not seen it? ”
"yes."
If that's the case, things may turn around.
Uncle Liu Changqing pondered: "What if...... Let's destroy the edict in Qin Chuan's hand, and then forge a copy...... Handed over to the clan, you say, Qin Chuan's position as 'prince' is to be discussed? ”
Liu Ning's eyes rolled: "Hiss! - Alas? Brother, don't say it, if this plan is used well, then Qin Chuan is equivalent to a fake edict, that edict was just read by a eunuch, we can say that it was his fraud. ”
"Don't be too happy, this matter needs to be carefully planned, first of all, the first step is to steal Qin Chuan's edict, the second step is to forge the edict, and the third part is to contact the people who can be contacted in the clan. We need to take it one step at a time. ”
The edict about Qin Chuan's enthronement was undoubtedly in his hands.
But a holy decree is too small, who knows where he put it, maybe somewhere in the palace, maybe it is the prince's mansion, it is difficult to find it.
Liu Ning walked around: "A person beside Qin Chuan, a woman named Bai Ying, was used by me and Zhou Dewei before. This woman is timid and afraid, and she is the agent of many affairs of the Prince's Mansion, maybe she will know the details. Brother, I'm in the deep palace, and going out will attract attention, so you have to do this steadily. ”
"Got it, I'll be careful."
Liu Changqing entered the harem, and Xiao Jin informed Qin Chuan.
The country has a law, and foreign ministers are not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, but Liu Changqing has a special identity, he is the uncle of the country, and now it is during the great funeral of the first emperor.
It's just that Qin Chuan guessed that Uncle Liu Guo must have received a secret decree from the queen when he entered Beijing.
Between the two brothers and sisters, what can be discussed may be the first emperor, and it must be how to bring down him, the prince.
Otherwise, Uncle Guo should have come to kowtow to the first emperor first, instead of rushing to see his sister.
Thinking about it, Liu Changqing entered the hall.
He shouted as he ran: "First Emperor! - Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! First Emperor! - Why don't you wait for the minister to leave, the minister hasn't had time to take one last look at you! ”
Looking at Uncle Guo's crying and mourning appearance, Qin Chuan only felt goosebumps falling all over his body.
This guy pretends to be quite similar.
After crying for a while, he came over and knelt down for Qin Chuan: "Minister Liu Changqing, see Your Highness." ”
"Get up. Lord Liu, when you leave Yunzhou, what should you do with the government affairs there, I heard that Yunzhou is a hard-hit area, and you put down everything to come to the capital, is there something wrong? ”
"Minister...... The minister is heartbroken, the world is big, the king is big, the minister is a courtier, how can he not come to the first emperor to hang filial piety, alas! The minister is still a step too late, the minister is embarrassed, and the minister is sad! ”
Qin Chuan: "Okay, don't be too sad, since Liu Gong has finished his filial piety, he can leave the capital and return to Yunzhou." ”
“……”
"What? Liu Gong still has important things to do in the capital? ”
As he spoke, Qin Chuan's eyes were already sharp, as if he could penetrate Liu Changqing's thoughts.
Liu Changqing didn't dare to look directly, he heard the queen say a lot about Qin Chuan, he didn't believe that this waste prince had so much ability, but now he has to believe it if he doesn't believe it.
"Your Highness, that's the case, the affairs of Yunzhou have been arranged. It's not easy to come to the capital, the minister hasn't been back to the capital for eight years, or wait until the first emperor enters the imperial mausoleum, His Royal Highness ascends the throne, and the minister goes back, do you think it's good? ”
Speak politely and politely, making it impossible to refute.
The main reason is that Qin Chuan is not the emperor now, and he has no right to directly issue a holy decree, otherwise, he is unwilling to let the queen's maiden family stay in the capital, isn't this adding to his own blockage.
After Liu Changqing retreated, Qin Chuan called Xiao Jin.
"Xiao Companion, let Yao Cheng secretly send someone to follow him, Liu Changqing came to the capital, it must be for Lonely. Lone must know his every move, and don't let this guy out of our sight. ”
"The slave understands, Your Highness, do you need to send someone to monitor the West Palace?"
The West Palace is the Kunning Palace of Liuning.
Qin Chuan closed his eyes slightly: "No need, Liu Ning is a woman, she can't set off a big storm, what I'm afraid of is that she should be in harmony with the outside." ”
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. Liu Changqing was a governor and was very careful, he got the edict that night, and found a master of calligraphy and painting in the capital.
