When Xie Chuan arrived in the study, Song Huiyue was sitting in the chair, doing nothing, just sitting like this.
The wind was still cold, and I'm afraid it wouldn't warm up until after the cold food. In the cold wind, Song Huiyue sat very calmly, even as if the dust had settled.
No matter what Mr. Zhang rebelled for, he rebelled anyway, she thought.
The King of Jin stood in front of the desk and read the letter slowly. He had finished measuring the land again. Next, he would take advantage of Yuan Shaopei's east wind to go to Duzhi and sort out taxes.
The two of them were busy and thinking about their own things, but there was an invisible intimacy that made them tightly entwined together like a rope.
As soon as Xie Chuan walked in, Song Huiyue immediately stood up and said a blessing to Xie Chuan: "My father-in-law."
Xie Chuan first saluted King Jin, then smiled and asked Song Huiyue if everything was well at home, and how Mrs. Song and Song Qinghui were taking the medicine. If it was not good, tell him in time. He went to the doctor again, and asked how Song Qinghui was doing now.
The soup is still watery and they can't eat it. Are the incense shops in the neighborhood making things difficult for them?
Song Huiyue answered one by one, they were all good, and the incense shop was also very good - she didn't interact with them at all, she was clean.
Xie Chuan looked at her lovingly, thinking that one year had passed and Sister Yue was one year older and seventeen. When others were pampering her at home, she cared about the whole family. Now that others are getting married, she doesn't.
Why do I feel more tired than when I worry?
King Jin invited Xie Chuan to sit down, and the three of them sat around the table, all looking calm.
Xie Zhou saw that there was another chair and thought that he was qualified to sit down. He didn't need to be invited by the prince and sat down on his own. The four of them happened to sit around the table.
Song Huiyue opened her mouth and softly explained everything about Li Jun from beginning to end, starting from Taihangxing to Li Jun's guess last night, without missing any detail.
Xie Zhou wanted to speak several times, but his father glared back.
By the time Song Huiyue finished speaking and took a sip of tea with a dry mouth, Xie Zhou already had so many things on his mind that he didn't know where to start.
King Jin's eyes were sharp, and there was a layer of anger lingering between his brows: "Xiang Xiang is so capable. He started making trouble twenty years ago and even became the pillar of the country. I feel ashamed of myself."
Xie Chuan nodded: "Master Zhang, you do have extraordinary courage and insight."
"But why did he rebel?" Xie Zhou couldn't figure it out. "Concubine Zhang also gave birth to King Yan at that time. Although she was not a concubine yet, she had gained a foothold in the palace. What was the purpose of rebelling at this time?"
He looked at King Jin, then at Xie Chuan, and then at Song Huiyue, hoping that these three smart people could give him, a stupid person, an answer.
However, no one can answer it. They can only guess, guessing here and there, but none of them seem to fit very well.
Xie Chuan was silent for a while and then said cautiously: "At that time, the late empress was not favored and she had never been pregnant. The empress dowager forced Concubine Zhang not to get pregnant before the empress. Today, the emperor is angrily. She once said clearly, 'If you establish a direct descendant, you will not be virtuous, but if you establish a son, you will not be virtuous.
Nobility does not lead to longevity. Today, I am based on nobility. Therefore, even if the imperial concubine becomes pregnant before the queen, the son born to the queen will also be noble.
However, the Queen Mother knew very well that if Concubine Zhang gave birth to a prince before the Queen, it would be uncertain whether the Queen would still have a son or even keep her position as Queen after she passed away. Therefore, she never relaxed in the slightest and kept letting Concubine Zhang take antibiotics.
Zitang, I can't fight it now, so I have the prince as my eldest son.
After King Yan was born, the Queen Mother once told Brother Song Qi that if King Yan took over the eldest son's right, and if he gets mad again and wants to hand over the world to the Zhang family and make Zhang Guifei his queen, then King Yan will
Naturally, he became the heir apparent, so there was no place for the King of Jin to gain a foothold.
She would not watch this kind of thing happen. Therefore, if you want to set up a direct descendant to grow up, not to be wise, the prince will be the elder.
If you are not right, your words will be wrong. When the prince succeeds to the throne, it is the eldest son who will inherit the throne and ensure the righteousness of the law for all generations."
Xie Zhou whispered: "Dad, are you saying that Prime Minister Zhang saw the current situation as soon as King Yan was born, so he took the risk and joined hands with King Chen to rebel?"
"King Chen's rebellion will inevitably fail," Xie Chuan nodded, "but it can open a gap for the Pei family. The Thousand Miles Embankment was destroyed in an ant nest. It was through this gap that Prime Minister Zhang reached his current position step by step, and also gave
King Yan's ability to compete for the crown prince, otherwise, based on King Yan's qualifications and background, would it be any different from those of the two princes?
Before the Queen Mother became seriously ill, she had wanted to make the Prince the Crown Prince. However, the situation was over, and there were constant voices of opposition in the court. Some even said that the Queen Mother wanted to harm the current emperor, and that she would be greedy to establish a young prince as the emperor.
If his administration lasts for a long time, the Queen Mother will become ill."
He and Li Jun guessed that it was Prime Minister Zhang who used the help of King Chen to suppress the Pei family. However, Xie Chuan's words were so precise that they were both unexpected and reasonable, making it even more convincing.
Xie Zhou nodded as he heard this, thinking that ginger is still hotter when he is old.
King Jin frowned, still having some doubts: "But Prime Minister Zhang acted with such foresight, how could he let his handwritten letter fall into the hands of King Chen?"
Xie Zhou chuckled: "This is called dog biting dog. It's a hairy mouth. Prime Minister Zhang encouraged King Chen to die. King Chen is not a fool. How could he not leave a clue?"
King Jin said: "Since King Chen is not stupid, how could he be willing to rebel and die?"
Xie Zhou was speechless, and after a moment he said: "Perhaps Mr. Zhang is as eloquent as the prince. He can not only persuade the river thieves to work for you, but also persuade County Magistrate Xu to take the lead in re-measurement of the fields."
Xie Chuan glared at him again: "Shut up, how dare you compare the prince with his traitorous ministers! See how I deal with you when I get back!"
He actually dared to say that King Jin was eloquent in front of King Jin. Apart from King Jin, no one else in the world could tolerate him because of their years of friendship.
Song Huiyue, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "It is still important to get the autographed letter from Mr. Zhang."
Xie Zhou nodded and put down the tea cup with a bang: "Li Jun, since he is neither crazy nor stupid, can live under the oppression of the Zhang family for so many years, he is a smart man. He guessed that the letter is in the Zhang family. I am right."
, but it’s hard to say whether it’s in the study or not.”
The four of them began to think deeply again.
Whether it's big or small, the Zhang family has countless places to hide things.
Song Huiyue got up and got paper and pen. Seeing this, Huang Ting quickly brought up a small table, put her tea cup on the small table, spread out the bamboo paper, brought an inkstone, and ground the ink.
She drew a rough outline of the Zhang family with one stroke of ink.
The black ink spread across the paper, as if a black fire was ignited, burning into everyone's hearts.
The three heads poked down. Xie Chuan knew the order of precedence, so he gave way, so King Jin's head was buried the lowest and he could see the most clearly. However, Xie Zhou didn't know how to be polite to me, so he even stretched out his head.
He went ahead of his father.
The back of Prince Jin's head rested on Xie Zhou's forehead, so Xie Chuan had no choice but to look at the paper from the corners.
The Zhang family's house was renovated by themselves, without going through the Ministry of Works, so there are no drawings to be placed in the Ministry of Works.
