Chapter 166: Ran Yichen's calculation
Gu Mingsheng was seriously injured and naturally could not go there in person. Gu Jinshu still learned about the night banquet from her uncle's house, and when she returned, she told Gu Mingsheng all the news.
As for Shen Qingci, he sat in the corner not far away and said nothing. If Gu Jinshu hadn't known that he was in the study early in the morning, he would have thought that there were only her father and daughter in this room!
"Did your uncle even say something next to you?"
Since the last time she was injured, Gu Mingsheng has not kept many things hidden from Gu Jinshu. For example, she still needs to communicate with the Ye family at these moments, otherwise her news will be too closed.
"The court officials have already recognized his identity, and now they are only waiting for the people of the three clans of Jizhou to express their opinions. However, after all, he is the blood of Emperor Xuan of Ming. I think these three families will not be able to do anything about Qiao."
This is what her uncle said, but Gu Mingsheng shook his head slightly after hearing this: "The Xiao family, Shen family, and Yang family live in Jizhou for generations. Their reputation on this and the land is far beyond that of the northern clans. Even the emperor's bloodline may still have to struggle."
He heard about the domineering behavior of these three families in his early years, and it was precisely because he knew that it was a bit difficult to know about it.
"If it weren't for the Pei family, these three families wouldn't dare to be too blatant, but who told the Pei family to happen at this time!"
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this was a game, but even the game was a picture book signed by Pei Lang. The black and white words on it said that he and Ran Yichen jointly killed the royal secret guards. Even if the prince wanted to protect the situation, he would be unable to do so.
"Are the old man's opinion?"
The current situation can be said to be changing rapidly. Although Gu Mingsheng is loyal to Emperor Xuan of Ming, he is just the secret son of Emperor Xuan of Ming, and the distance between the prince is too far away.
"...You just need to call my husband."
What Shen Qingci is most taboo about is that others say he is old, especially in front of Gu Jinshu. Gu Mingsheng was obviously stunned. Looking at his gray hair, he silently withdrew his eyes. As for Gu Jinshu who was standing beside him, he kept laughing. This man was indeed an arrogant man who couldn't listen to the truth.
"Sir, are you very insightful?"
Looking at his serious look, Gu Mingsheng finally re-verbally asked, and Shen Qingci's eyes swept across Gu Jinshu and said, "The eldest girl returned from Ye's mansion, and naturally she also inquire about some information. I still want to hear the eldest girl's opinion."
With a gradually restrained smile, Gu Jinshu rolled her eyes at the void, and Gu Mingsheng said in confusion: "Mr. Thanks to me, I am a proud man. It's just that my daughter has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, but she doesn't have these political awareness."
"Oh... you can train it appropriately." Shen Qingci pointed out slightly, and looked at Gu Mingsheng's instantaneous appearance and changed his sentence slightly, "It is a foregone conclusion that Zhou Nianzhen ascended the throne. Now he is only a game with the Jizhou family."
Since the capital was rebuilt in Jizhou, many interests need to be redistributed. To be honest, the relationship between the southern clans and the royal family is naturally not as good as that of the northern clans. But the wonderful thing is that they need to be king and dominate at the doorstep of others, so they naturally have to pay something.
"What do Jizhou clans want?"
"Enter the court."
In the past, the clans in Jizhou only sent outstanding children of their families to serve in the escort capital, but now the world is messy and Beicang is eyeing it, and many things need to be changed. Naturally, these heads of the family would not be stupid enough to give way to others.
Gu Mingsheng looked light and analyzed carefully: "If you want to talk about this minister who assisted the country, the Pei family must have a seat. The Cai family, the prince's foreign family, is very likely. Judging from this night banquet, the Zhao family of Weibeihou should also be His Majesty's member."
Now that the generals are the first, the Zhao family of Weibei Marquis is also known as the brave. Now, Weibei Marquis once studied under Yan Wu and was quite proficient in the Qi family's military skills. If he wanted to resist the Beicang Kingdom in the future, this person would inevitably occupy a place in the court.
In the prosperous years, the three-person assisting has become a striking force, but now in troubled times, it is possible to divide the power according to the situation where one is the most respected and five is the most auxiliary.
Emperor Xuan of Ming was afraid that he had thought of this at the beginning, and wanted to use this opportunity to differentiate the relationship between these three families so that the prince would not be controlled by others everywhere. But these three families were obviously not fools, so they would not get into that set.
So, now we are working together to squeeze out the candidates among the Northern Auxiliary.
Gu Mingsheng had already thought of a lot of things after Shen Qingci's remarks, but because he was thinking too much, the sweat on his forehead couldn't help but increase.
The victory or defeat of this game directly affects the power of the prince after he takes office in the future, so if he is not careful, both sides will suffer losses.
The same bright moon shines on different sleepless nights.
Ran Yichen was also very upset at this time. After conquering Qinzhou, he killed many people. It can even be said that no one in Qinzhou left behind. Although Beicang Kingdom is a nation with brave men as kings, many people from the Great Zhou Dynasty have served in the court over the years.
The massacre has caused a counterattack from those people, and among them, the Censorate is the most important, but there is a trace of that woman behind the Censorate.
He had already had trouble with this matter but didn't want him to frown one after another. Zhou Nianzhen was still alive because of this matter, and he got angry with Honglian, and the stubborn person directly disguised himself and went to Jizhou, without any news.
"Is there no news about Honglian yet?"
"Report to my master, there is no news from Jizhou yet."
The man in black knelt on the ground and answered the news he had received, while Ran Yichen sighed. He deliberately asked the thief to steal the letter, and then sent someone to work with him and travel to Jizhou.
Although the man was dead, the impact he caused would not be revealed lightly, and the three tribes in Jizhou were not vegetarians.
As long as the conflict between the northern clans and the southern clans continues to intensify, what if Zhou Nianzhen is alive? Isn’t it that both ends are angry?
The reason why he asked Pei Lang to sign that collusion letter was originally intended to threaten the Pei family, but he did not expect that the Pei family members would not shed tears without seeing the coffin. Emperor Xuan of Ming even gave all his trust to the Pei family, so the matter was naturally left unresolved.
But he didn't expect Emperor Xuan of Ming to hang himself. Now the young prince fled to Jizhou again, and this letter of association really played its role.
In Jizhou City, Pei Lang had not been asleep all night. He wanted to sneak out as the sun rising in the east, but he never thought that Pei Jinniang had already reached the door earlier, turned around and stared at him lightly.
"What are you going to do?"
