Just when Xu Beiyou had a rare and relaxing day, Xiao Zhinan set off from Qizhou and embarked on the return journey back to the imperial capital.

Xiao Bai wanted to escort her all the way in person, but was persuaded by Xiao Zhinan on the grounds that "the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fiefdom without reason", and in the end she still took the carriage when she came, and quietly left Langya Mansion.

Out of the boundary of Pingyuan Mansion is out of the boundary of Qizhou, as long as you pass through Zhili Prefecture to reach the imperial capital.

The groom who drove the car was still Chen Zhijin, but there was an extra woman in the carriage, who was the eldest aunt Moshu who made a special trip from the imperial capital to Qizhou to "pick up".

The appearance of the ink book made Xiao Zhinan's heart feel a little warmer, and it seemed that her father still cared about her.

Silver Candle and the other maids avoided for the time being, leaving only the two of them sitting opposite each other, Xiao Zhinan looked at the ink book with a straight face, and finally slowly spoke: "Auntie, you are an old man who has served the first emperor and the father emperor, it stands to reason that you have seen all the dangers, can you tell me what the situation is in the imperial capital today, but it has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible?"

The expressionless Mo Shu shook his head and said: "No, in fact, His Highness's conspiracy this time is that someone is behind the scenes, and he wants to use this to completely intensify the situation in the imperial capital and get out of control, on the day His Royal Highness arrived in Qizhou, Zhang Baisui has already begun to investigate this matter, so please rest assured that Your Highness will definitely give an explanation to Your Highness at an appropriate time." ”

Speaking of this, Mo Shuben's voice was a little lower again, "The Xiao family has won the world for fifty years, and the Great Qi has also been established for fifty years, and the old man who originally belonged to Da Zheng is almost dead, such as the people of today who are not the people of the Great Qi? If Your Majesty is determined to let anyone disappear into this world, it is really not a difficult matter." ”

Xiao Zhinan is such a smart person, he quickly figured out the key, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "In this way, my father is going to give up the Duanmu family completely?"

Moshu said softly: "It's not that Your Majesty gave up the Duanmu family, but that Duanmu Ruisheng took the way of death and destruction on his own." ”

Xiao Zhinan was silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh, "Auntie, do you say that the reason why Duanmu Ruisheng is on this path today is also why I don't want to marry Duanmu Yu?"

The court lady who watched Her Royal Highness the princess grow up hesitated for a moment, softened her tone slightly, and said softly: "It has nothing to do with Your Highness, if Duanmu Ruisheng is really loyal, why does Your Majesty use marriage to win over? In the final analysis, it is still a reed on the wall, falling with the wind, and it is said that Shengmien, Shi Miqiu, if there was no promotion from the first emperor, how could he have the scenery of Duanmu today, but he took the power given to him by the first emperor to turn around and bargain with His Majesty today, where is this the way of a minister?"

Xiao Zhinan smiled bitterly, "I know why my father sent my eldest aunt to pick me up, I think my father has already acquiesced to Han Ge Lao's proposal, right?"

This time it was Mo Shu's turn to be silent, and after a long time, she nodded slowly and said: "After all, Han Ge Lao has no children under his knees, and that young man is Han Ge Lao's only adopted son, and maybe it has something to do with that incident back then, so Your Majesty has no reason to refuse." ”

"What happened back then?" Xiao Zhinan asked.

Mo Shu hesitated, shook his head and said: "These old things, whether you want Your Highness to know, or your Majesty decides, if Your Highness is really curious, you can also ask Your Highness, after all, this matter has something to do with Your Highness." ”

Xiao Zhinan nodded thoughtfully.

She is not an ignorant child who doesn't know anything, and she has been exposed to some insider information one after another over the years, and this "back then" mostly refers to the three years of Taiping and the first year of Chengping.

In those two years, many major events happened in the temple one after another, first the death of Xiao Yu, the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, and then the new emperor Xiao Xuan ascended the throne, and then there was the Blue Han Party dispute, and then the Empress Dowager Lin Yinping listened to the government, dismissed Han Xuan from office, Zhang Wuxian and other backbones of the Han Party were also degraded, and the heyday Han Party withdrew from the temple.

In March of the first year of Chengping, the Empress Dowager Lin Yinping also went with the emperor, and the emperor and queen were buried together in the Meishan Imperial Mausoleum.

Just one day before the death of the Empress Dowager Lin Yinping, Xu Yan, who was supposed to show his strength in the new dynasty, died violently.

Xiao Zhinan whispered to himself: "Are you all surnamed Xu?"

Mo Shu was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "Actually, according to the meaning of the Queen Mother, after the resignation of the old Han Ge, Lan Xiang should also be honored as a prince, and the vacated position of the first assistant was taken over by Uncle Xu Guo, but in the end, something changed, and this became what it is today." ”

-: Look, ● genuine chapter o... Section F on *Wrj

Xiao Zhinan stretched out his palm and gently pressed it on his forehead, and asked himself, "What happened, what happened?"

There was silence in the carriage.

......

The kings of the Great Qi, aside from the two-word county kings, there are really only a handful of single-word princes, among which the top ones are Xiao Jin, King of Wei, Xiao Bai, King of Qi, Mutangzhi, King of Liao, and Xiao Li, King of Yan.

The identity of Xiao Li, the king of Yan, is somewhat embarrassing, it is not as good as the king of Wei and the king of Qi, even Wang Mutangzhi with a different surname can suppress him, in the final analysis, it is because he does not have the power of the tiger talisman in his hands, although Xiao Bai, the king of Qi, and Mu Tangzhi, the king of Liao, also do not have much military power in name, but the two have a deep foundation in the army, which is far from being comparable to him.

Since he has no military power, Xiao Li wants to make a dojo in the conch, secretly cultivate a group of monks, and strive to see the golden knife of Malaysia between square inches, but how to think that Kunshan, which he has worked so hard to cultivate, will be in a blink of an eye, in the final analysis, it is Xiao Bai who took advantage of the fire to rob, but after all, he is the eldest son of today's son and the eldest grandson of the first emperor.

Xiao Li was no longer reconciled, and he could only swallow this evil breath, who made Lao Tzu of the family the emperor, and when others crowned the crown prince in the future, he had to salute after meeting the king of Yan.

Now Xiao Li has been forced by Xiao Bai to the point where he has to make a decision, whether to let it go, whether to make a good relationship with Xiao Bai, or to fight to the death, and let this King of Qi have a long memory.

After all, he is also the dignified King of Yan, and he really has to be determined to embarrass Xiao Bai, and he can also make this king suffer a loss for the first time, but in this way, the gains outweigh the losses, after all, Xiao Bai will inherit the throne in the future, and after Xiao Bai ascends the throne, he, the King of Yan, can still have good fruits to eat? The old ancestor Xiao Shen has never cared about these things, and the old ancestor has more than one great-grandson, so I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep the position of the vassal king.

Because of this, the Yan Wang's Mansion is solemn these days, and the maids walk quietly, for fear of angering His Royal Highness the Yan King.

There was smoke in the study, and Xiao Li, who was wearing a black python robe, sat behind the bookcase, holding Zihao, and writing hard.

Not long after, a letter written by Xiao Li was transcribed, sprinkled with more than 100 words.

Xiao Li blew dry the ink, and folded together, with a grim expression.

This is a letter requesting to enter Beijing, since Xiao Bai is aggressive, then he will go to the imperial capital to take a trip, sue in front of His Majesty, and also meet a few clan uncles by the way.

Xiao Li clapped his hands, and soon a eunuch quietly walked into the study.

Xiao Li personally sealed the fold with fire paint and handed it to the eunuch, "Go ahead." ”
