Zhao Wangshu did not speak.

Although Zhao Wanning's speculation is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed somewhat possible.

Although the Jade Concubine has no family background, if she wants to, she can also find some nobles from the family to take refuge. Although it is not as close as blood relations, if you can come up with enough attractive benefits, maybe some people will be tempted.

Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for 100 years, many of the families of the founding fathers have fallen and are looking for opportunities to revive their families.

Huang Yi'an falls into this category.

The Anqing Huang family was also one of the top ten families in the founding of the country, and the ancestors contributed a lot to the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that the Huang family has been lonely in recent years, and the descendants of the Huang family are scattered, and when it comes to Huang Yi'an's generation, the children and grandchildren of the clan can be counted on one hand, among which Huang Yi'an is the most outstanding.

Despite this, Huang Yi'an only achieved the official title of Qingzhou Taishou and Zheng Sipin.

If at this time, the Jade Concubine Niangniang stretched out an olive branch to him and promised him to be a high-ranking official, he would definitely hold on tightly.

But Zhao Wanning's analysis is also good, no matter how you say it, Huang Yi'an is just a Qingzhou Taishou, his sphere of influence is in Qingzhou, if you want to help the four princes win the heir, I'm afraid it won't be of much use.

In terms of resources, Qingzhou is located in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with mountainous territory and average grain output, which is not as good as Dezhou in the east.

In terms of troops, the troops near Qingzhou are all in Youzhou, but Qingzhou Mansion does not have many troops.

No matter how you look at it, Huang Yi'an and the Huang family behind him are not a powerful help.

As for the eldest princess...... Zhao Wangshu glanced at Zhao Wanning, who was sitting beside her and playing with the vase, although he couldn't get evidence for the time being, Zhao Wangshu could almost confirm that the eldest princess didn't like and trust Zhao Chen'an as much as she showed.

Even if the Jade Concubine won Zhao Chen'an, she would not be able to shake Zhao Wanning's status in the eldest princess's heart, let alone change the eldest princess's support for Zhao Wangjin.

That being the case, then why did Concubine Yu bother to win over Huang Yi'an and Zhao Chen'an?

Maybe there is something else between these three people? Zhao Wangshu fell into deep thought.

Zhao Wanning's hands were idle, she touched the vase on the table for a while, and touched the ornaments on the Bogu shelf with her hand for a while.

She seemed to be playing with curiosity, but she was just hiding the doubts and entanglements in her heart.

Zhao Wanning was distressed about her meeting Pei Yue outside the Qingzhou Mansion.

The letter left by Pei Yue said that he sent the capital to investigate the case, but he did not say that he came to Qingzhou, so she thought it was a routine investigation by Dali Temple.

But now, she saw Pei Yue outside the Qingzhou Mansion.

The evidence of Huang Yi'an, the former Taishou of Qingzhou, for his own personal misfortune and the fact that he had been arrested and imprisoned by Wu Daoquan, the minister of the Qincha, will be sent back to the capital in a few days and handed over to Dali Temple for trial.

It stands to reason that the people of Dali Temple should be waiting in the capital at this moment, waiting for the prisoners to enter the capital for trial, and they do not need to come to Qingzhou in person.

Besides, Pei Yue originally had Uncle Zhong's case in his hands, and Uncle Zhong's case was also inextricably linked to the Qingzhou flood, and as the presiding official of the case, Pei Yue should expedite the trial.

But Pei Yue left the capital when there was just a breakthrough in Uncle Zhong's case, and handed over the case to Qin Ruye and Lord Qin for trial, while he himself came to Qingzhou.

Zhao Wanning thought of Pei Yue's dress today, he was wearing shabby clothes, his hair was messy, where was he still in high spirits when Lian Zhong Sanyuan was at that time.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Wanning and Pei Yue had been together as husband and wife for a year in the previous life, she had kept Pei Yue's appearance and figure in mind, and I am afraid that she would not be able to recognize him today.

Pei Yue was dressed as an ordinary person and disappeared into the crowd, could it be that he had encountered something wrong and was no longer entangled? Zhao Wanning immediately denied in his heart, if something happened to him, he could directly find Wu Daoquan to reveal his identity, Wu Daoquan and him were both ministers of the court, and they must have seen him. As long as he asks for help, Wu Daoquan will not fail to help him.

Pei Yue didn't, at least today, with her and Zhao Wangshu there, he didn't show up for help.

But why did Pei Yue dress up like this, if he was going out on business, he should be the same as her and Zhao Wangshu, living in a post station all the way to the mansion, Qingzhou is in such a situation now, it must be much more convenient for him to live in the Qingzhou Mansion than to live outside.

Unless, Pei Yue's trip should not show his identity.

Zhao Wanning carefully recalled Pei Yue's performance during the day, and suddenly remembered that Pei Yue seemed to have been avoiding Wu Daoquan today.

Could it be that the target of Pei Yue's trip is Wu Daoquan?

Thinking about it like this, Pei Yue is afraid that he is here to check on Wu Daoquan.

Zhao Wanning thought about it, and today Zhao Wangshu's attitude towards Wu Daoquan noticed that something was wrong. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why didn't you deal with that Wu Daoquan today?" ”

"He's ......"

"He is obviously a fox and a fake tiger, in order to create momentum, regardless of today's heavy snow, he led Qingzhou officials to stand in the cold wind, saying that he greeted you and me?" Zhao Wangshu looked at Zhao Wanning with a smile and said.

Zhao Wanning nodded: "He also used the opening warehouse to lure the people to go, just to pat your ass." Weren't you angry at the time? also scolded him in public. ”

Zhao Wangshu nodded as he listened, smiling.

"When you first entered the government, you were obviously still very angry, and deliberately made him kneel and did not allow him to get up. Why did you suddenly change your attitude later? ”

"He is so rampant, and he said that you don't understand the government, it's better for him to understand. Obviously, you are much better than him. ”

"Although I don't understand the government, I feel that the way of being an official and the officialdom experience he said are inappropriate. If an official can't make decisions for the people and only knows his own future, isn't that a corrupt official? ”

"What is the difference between this Wu Daoquan and Huang Yi'an?"

Zhao Wangshu supported himself with his hand, nodded slightly, and had a warm smile on his face. That smile inexplicably made Zhao Wanning think that she had just learned to read and write when she was young, and when she was able to recite a poem completely for the first time, the eldest princess also had such a smile on her face.

Seeing that Zhao Wanning stopped talking, Zhao Wangshu sat up straight.

She hooked her hand, and Zhao Wanning obediently walked to her and sat down.

Zhao Wangshu took her hand and asked, "Finished?" ”

Zhao Wanning showed an embarrassed smile, she scratched her forehead, her face was embarrassed, I don't know if she is a partner of cooperation, she has crossed the line a little, but she does have many questions in her heart.

Zhao Wangshu sighed and said, "What Wu Daoquan did today is nothing. If he is punished for his sin, I am afraid it will not be done. ”

"Why?" Zhao Wanning said angrily: "He is obviously-"

Zhao Wangshu patted her hand soothingly, and said, "He is right, the reason why the Holy Lord sent me to Qingzhou with great fanfare is indeed to appease the people. ”

"As Wu Daoquan said, our trip is not only to appease the people of Qingzhou, so that they can obey the arrangement and not spread this strange disease to other places, but also to appease the people of the world.

"If it weren't for that, the Holy One wouldn't have sent me, the eldest princess, here."

"Because you're royal?" Zhao Wanning asked tentatively.

Zhao Wangshu nodded, and she stood up.

The Qingzhou Mansion is very well built, and even the corridor outside the door has been repaired with a ground dragon, and the earth dragon in this house is also burning very vigorously, and the two of them took off their heavy coats as soon as they entered the door.

"Do you know why I came to Qingzhou?" Zhao Wangshu suddenly asked.

"Because you're royal." Zhao Wanning replied casually.

Zhao Wangshu smiled a little lonely: "Wanning, you don't understand what I mean. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Wanning was a little confused. "Isn't it because of this?"

"Yes," Zhao Wangshu said leisurely, "not either." ”

Zhao Wanning on the side was stupid, she was going to be confused by Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu explained: "There are many people in the royal family, why did I come, and not other princes, or even the crown prince?" ”

As soon as Zhao Wangshu said this, Zhao Wanning also found something strange.

Although the people of the Great Zhou are open, there has never been a precedent for women to participate in politics. If it weren't for this, the queen would not have been bent on preventing Zhao Wangshu from entering the barracks.

Xiao Hongyi's family is very supportive of her, but it is also because she has received the Holy Decree, which is a special case.

Generally speaking, this kind of person who needs the royal family to come forward should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No matter how bad it is, he should be a prince. But this time, he sent Zhao Wangshu, the eldest princess of Chaoyang.

Although Emperor Shengde did like Zhao Wangshu the most among his many children, she was a woman after all, and with the thoughts of Emperor Shengde and important ministers in the court, it was reasonable to send a prince to Qingzhou at this time to show the majesty of the royal family.

"Why did the Queen Mother agree to you coming? Shouldn't it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Zhao Wanning asked.

Zhao Wangshu smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to discuss marriage." ”

"Relatives? With whom? Zhao Wanning thought for a moment, Zhao Wangjin didn't seem to have agreed to marry when she died in the previous life, so she didn't know the candidate for the crown princess.

"Princess Jinyue of the Western Qi Kingdom." Zhao Wangshu explained: "The Western Qiguo will be sent to the Great Zhou in the near future. According to the news from the secret agent, Xi Qiguo wants to send Princess Jinyue this time to make peace with my Da Zhou. The two countries married to show their diplomatic relations. ”

Saying this, Zhao Wanning suddenly realized. At this juncture, the crown prince Zhao Wangjin, who is the object of peace, must not leave the capital.

After all, Zhao Wanning is also half of the royal family, although she has not been in contact with court politics, but she also listened to the teachings of the eldest princess when she was young, and soon figured out the joints.

On this trip to Qingzhou, if other princes are sent, if the source of the plague in Qingzhou can be successfully solved, it will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people. In this way, the prince who came to Qingzhou will pose a great threat to Zhao Wangjin's position as the crown prince.

Zhao Wangjin's position as the crown prince is unstable, which may lead to turmoil in the hearts of the ministers, and it is not clear which of the family forces behind the prince wants to take the opportunity to seize the heir.

How could Emperor Shengde, who had experienced a great battle for the heir, tolerate this war for the heir to be staged again, and it was also for this reason that he considered the crown prince Zhao Wangjin so much.

If Zhao Wangshu was sent to Qingzhou, it would be different. She is the princess of Chaoyang, the pearl held in the hands of Emperor Shengde, and the sister of the crown prince Zhao Wangjin's mother.

If Zhao Wangshu can solve the Qingzhou plague, as Zhao Wangjin's sister, the won hearts of the people will naturally be counted on Zhao Wangjin's head.

Who made Zhao Wangshu a woman? If she does not have the opportunity to inherit the throne, she will not pose any threat to Zhao Wangjin's position as the crown prince.

Zhao Wanning glanced up at Zhao Wangshu.

Although Qingzhou is located in the north, it also has some hardy things. Wu Daoquan is quite good at being a man, and he also found this touch of green in the cold winter wax moon.

It is a pine bonsai with a unique shape, and the branches and foliage are lush, adding a touch of life to the house.

At this moment, Zhao Wangshu was standing in front of the table with scissors, pruning the branches and leaves of the pine bonsai little by little.

The dancing flames reflected on Zhao Wangshu's resolute side face, leaving a halo, and half of her face was hidden in the dark, looking a little dangerous.

Zhao Wangshu's movements were neat and clean, and with a "click", a thick branch was cut off.

Zhao Wanning muttered in her heart: Is it really not a threat?
