The Jiaofang Division has always carefully planned and controlled areas for the imperial court, and the Jin Kingdom was no exception. On this day, an old man came to the Taiyuan Jiaofang. He claimed that his surname was Ying, and he was the county magistrate of a certain place. He led a few ordinary-looking followers. Inside the Jiaofang
From top to bottom, all the naked-eye appraisers could see that Mr. Ying must be more than a little seventh grade, and that he was very attentive. Mr. Ying actually asked to see Eunuch Zhang, the envoy of the academy.
Eunuch Zhang came after hearing the news. He flattered him and asked if he wanted someone to serve him. Mr. Ying said, "I have a few words to say to Mr. Zhang."
The entourage took out a badge from the Imperial City Division. Eunuch Zhang hurriedly played Qianer, and he had already secretly figured out in his heart: This Master Ying must be a high-ranking member of the court, and someone from the Imperial City Division accompanied him to investigate. Sure enough,
Mr. Ying asked about the assassination of the crown prince on the Fen River cruise four years ago. Since the crown prince was fine and did not pursue it too closely afterwards, Eunuch Zhang thought for a long time before he remembered. At that time, the assassin pretended to be a dancer sent by the Jiaofang Division.
, but the real dancer was knocked unconscious before going on stage. Because the dance was a Hu dance, all the dancers covered their faces, so no one noticed. Lord Ying ordered his real dancer to be brought.
Not long after, the dancing girl came. Master Ying knew something was fishy at the first glance. This girl was extremely thin and less than seven feet tall. She must have been shorter four years ago. Gan Kexi must have been seventeen or eighteen years old four years ago, and she was taller than this girl.
Fewer. And the waist of a man is thicker than that of a woman. It’s okay if outsiders can’t tell. Unless the dancers are blind, they won’t be able to tell.
Mr. Ying did not reveal any traces, so he invited the dancer to come closer and question her carefully. The dancer did remember that before going on stage, she was tracing her eyebrows in the cabin. Suddenly, she felt a pain in the back of her head and lost everything. Later, when the officers and soldiers were searching the ship, she found something in a cabinet.
After searching her out and waking her up, they asked the dancers again. There were nine dancers in total, and all of them were still in the Jiaofang Department.
He also asked the assassin about the circumstances during the assassination. The dancers replied that they were dancing at that time. The assassin jumped in front of the prince and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his hair to stab him. There was a Confucian scholar who was faster than the guards and jumped to the throne.
The Crown Prince shouted in front of him: "Protect the Crown Prince! There is an assassin!" The guards suddenly woke up and rushed forward. The assassin had already stabbed the Crown Prince several times through the Confucian scholar, stabbing the Confucian scholar's shoulder and arm. The Crown Prince was protected by the Confucian scholar.
He was unscathed. Later, the assassin was surrounded and killed by more than a dozen guards. He escaped and jumped into the river and disappeared.
Mr. Ying's face, which had been sullen for most of the day, could no longer hold back any longer. He twitched several times and asked, "Who is that Confucian scholar?"
The dancers all said they didn't know, and Eunuch Zhang said: "It's Mr. Hao Shen, a guest of the prince's family."
Mr. Ying frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, this Mr. Hao was earlier -" He held out two fingers, "This person is the prince who later took refuge."
"Exactly." Zhang Gonggong said, "Anyway, that person has gone to Japan now."
Mr. Ying looked at the dancers and asked, "Do you still remember that dance?" The dancers all said, "Yes." Mr. Ying asked them to dance again.
The dancers then changed into their dance clothes and danced back to the old dance. Master Ying thought about it for a long time after reading it with a sullen face, and asked them to dance again. The dancers danced again. Master Ying asked who choreographed this dance.
Eunuch Zhang immediately called out the instructor’s mother. The instructor’s mother was over sixty years old, with gray hair and a vigorous appearance. Master Ying asked Hu Wu why he wore a veil since his belly was exposed. The instructor’s mother said something that Mr. Ying couldn’t understand.
Mr. Ying was confused and seemed to have no doubts anymore.
After sending the group of dancers to teach, Mr. Ying sat in the room stroking his beard and thought for a long time before suddenly getting up and resigning. Eunuch Zhang personally escorted him out of the studio.
This Lord Ying was Feng Ziying. He returned to Ma Xing and told Jia Cong: "Four years ago, the Crown Prince of Jin was assassinated, in order to place one of the men from Japan in front of the Crown Prince."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Haha! I've long guessed that Situ Wei used his power. That kid is so poor and useless. If he doesn't pick up some cheats, how can he dare to wade into the muddy waters of seizing the throne?"
Feng Ziying glanced at him: "Really? I haven't heard what you said." Then she told the story in detail.
Jia Cong bared his teeth: "Is the Jiaofang Division the territory of the second Japanese uncle?"
Feng Ziying thought: "Not necessarily, the Imperial City Division is upright after all. That teaching mother must be a subordinate of the second uncle from Japan, and I have sent people to keep an eye on her. But this Hao Shen is originally a descendant of the Hao family in Taiyuan."
"Um, is it very famous? I know the Wang family in Taiyuan."
Feng Ziying said: "Although there are many small families with the surname Wang in Taiyuan, they are no longer a large family. On the contrary, the Hao family has been passed down to this day and is an impressive family. However, there has never been a high-ranking official in the past two dynasties."
Jia Cong held his chin and thought for a while: "It's been a long time. A big family can't produce high-ranking officials for hundreds of years, so what's the use of having so many people? When the government wants to bully you, you can only endure it in vain. I'm afraid you'll be anxious. It's easy to be anxious.
The military movement is dangerous. For example, it may be mixed with some unknown future to seize the heir."
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "The Queen Mother's mother's family and the Hao family have been married twice."
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "It's clear then. When the king of Jin first arrived in Jin, he brought with him many senior ministers from the capital. Even if the Hao family, a local wealthy family, came to join them, the masters in the capital would definitely look down on them. The Hao family would not be able to integrate into the circle of powerful people.
The only option was to do the next best thing and win over the then Princess Jin, who is now the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was partial and liked the second uncle of Japan. Well... Situ Wei's mother-in-law, the Yin family, was drafted into the palace. According to him,
Calculated based on his age, the draft should have been done as soon as Prince Jin came over. At that time, the entire Prince Jin's palace had just settled down, and everything was not complete. Brother Feng, will Situ Wei have an uncle Wang next door?"
Feng Ziying was stunned: "Wang family? Which Wang family?"
"No, it's an analogy... Well, it's an allusion. The allusion is wrong." Jia Cong patted his head, "I mean, during that chaotic period, was it possible that Situ Wei was the son of Concubine Yin and the second uncle of Japan.
"
Feng Ziying frowned: "You... are too incredible."
Jia Cong said: "It was too late to build the Crown Prince's Mansion at that time, and the Crown Prince and others were living in the Prince Jin's Mansion. The Yin family had no foundation, but was born beautiful, so it was an easy path to take refuge with Princess Jin. Princess Jin also liked her younger son.
It was the second uncle of Japan. The second uncle often went to flatter his mother and concubine, and Yin often went to flatter the princess. The two met accidentally. This can also explain why the Queen Mother started helping Situ Wei from such an early age. The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands.
It's all meat. How fair is it for the eldest brother to be the King of Jin for a time and then pass the throne to the second son's son? Just like my grandmother, she was only thinking about who Jia Lian would be when my father died and my brother Baoyu inherited the Rongguo Mansion.
I don’t remember.”
Feng Ziying thought for a long time and said hesitantly: "It makes sense. I have to ask some colleagues who were hidden in the Jin Palace in the early years."
"Early years?"
Feng Ziying said with emotion: "Liu Dengxi hid in the eighth prince's house. I didn't expect that he is still using his people to this day."
Jia Cong blinked and said: "Then what can we do to ensure that he has not been pried away?"
"His whole family is in Yan State." Feng Ziying said, "Parents, brothers, and Liu Dengxi are all sure of the nails planted."
Jia Cong nodded: "When we take over Jin, we can settle him down."
Feng Ziying said: "His brother promised to adopt a son to him in the future. He was the one who gave Gan Kechun the abortion pill."
"oh."
The next day, many things came to fruition.
First, Feng Ziying, the instructing mother of the Jiaofang Division, followed her to a theater troupe, and then the troupe leader’s wife took a car to Hao’s house.
Then she received a telegram from the south. By coincidence, Zhou Xiaolan came to Dajiala in person to negotiate a trade contract, and now she was staying at the Javanese Embassy. She said that in the early years, there was no one with the surname Qiao in the imperial guard, but there was one.
The female guard named Hao Qiao was a few years younger than Zhou Damei and was very skilled in martial arts. After the chaos, she did not go to Chen State with Zhou Damei, but returned to her hometown. But Zhou Xiaolan didn't know where her hometown was. Jia Cong and Feng
Ziying and Ziying smiled at each other and high-fived each other.
The nail in Prince Jin's Mansion also brought back important news. When Concubine Yin was first admitted to Prince Jin's Mansion, she was not the crown prince's concubine, but worked as a maid beside the princess. Because of her beauty, the crown prince asked Princess Jin for her. Princess Yin
At first she refused to give it, but she gave it to her after asking for it several times. Concubine Yin soon became pregnant after receiving her favor. When she was pregnant, Princess Jin even sent someone to take care of her.
After hearing this, Jia Cong was stunned for three seconds, then bared his teeth at Feng Ziying and said, "Brother Feng, do you think Situ Wei was born prematurely?"
Feng Ziying took a few deep breaths: "Even if you are biased, you won't be partial to this one! Is the boss your biological child? Could it be that he left his mother and left the son?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Jia Cong thought for a long time and said, "Then the situation is basically clear. The female guard Hao Qiao went to the former Jin Dynasty under the pseudonym Qiao Moumou and trained guards in the library of the Jin Palace. Gan Kexi was one of the guards.
.It’s just that he was extremely talented and it was a pity to be a guard, so the King of Jin asked him to take charge of the Imperial City Department. Hao Qiao’s family, the Taiyuan Hao family, took refuge with the then Princess of Jin, now the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother preferred her younger son, Dongying.
The eldest son of the second uncle, who is now the King of Jin, may not be her biological child. There is a high probability that Situ Wei was born from an affair between the second uncle of Japan and Concubine Yin. Does he... know about it? "
Feng Ziying said: "Even if we tell him about these things, we have to wait until he becomes the heir apparent."
Jia Cong laughed and said, "I like to reveal other people's secrets the most."
Feng Ziying glanced at him and said: "The power of the Queen Mother is within the walls of the Jin Prince's Mansion and cannot reach into the court; the Hao family does not have the ability. Therefore, even if the King of Jin is not the Queen Mother's biological son, there is nothing she can do
However, we know that Hao Qiao and the Hao family are not completely of the same mind."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Hao Qiao has her own code of conduct. After all, it was taught by the palace. Otherwise, if she managed to kill King Jin when he was still the crown prince, the second uncle of Japan would directly succeed him. She is willing to side with others.
The Queen Mother, Concubine Yin, and Situ Wei who are all married to the Hao family are just cliques and will not violate the rules of succession to the throne and do things like ax and candle shadow." He pinched his chin, "This person has to find a way.
Get rid of it, otherwise it will ruin our affairs."
Feng Ziying said: "It's easiest to do it suddenly."
"It's such a pity." Jia Cong stretched his waist, "It seems that the fat lady is not married yet? It would be nice to go to Nanyang to see the sea with old best friends, right." Feng Ziying looked at the sky.
"But we still have an unsolved mystery." Jia Cong said, "There was no warning that the King of Jin took away the second uncle of Japan."
Feng Ziying said: "Even Han Qi doesn't know the reason."
"Then it can only be a sudden connection." Jia Cong thought for a long time, "Princess Jin...does she have a best friend she can trust?"
"Princess Jin believes it." Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong and said, "You can try to trick her yourself."
Jia Cong recited "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord": "A poor Taoist will not do anything to deceive women." Feng Ziying laughed twice.
Speaking of Taoism, Taoist Aunt Xinzhen is now the most famous in the entire Taiyuan City. There were only five days left before Xinzhen and Lin Dongyang were to get married. Suddenly, a post was sent to Prince Jin's palace. It was Taoist Aunt Xinzhen who wanted to invite Princess Jin to Chunyang Palace.
After a while, Princess Jin was helpless because of the incident involving the prince. When she saw the post, she immediately shouted to throw it out. However, the nanny beside her persuaded: "Your Majesty, since Taoist Master Xinzhen asked to see your Majesty, he must have something to say." Princess Jin bit it.
For a long time, I thought about whether my son had been affected by some kind of magic spell from this demon, so I agreed.
In the afternoon of that day, Chunyang Palace had cleared out the pilgrims early, and the Princess of Jin drove in a large queue to pay homage to Lu Zu. At this time, Jia Cong, the regent of Yan, was at the Jin palace, and together with Zhang Su, Han Qi and other Jin dignitaries, they reported to the Jin king that they had just begun
They briefly discussed the railway line and how much it would cost. Except for the second son who was still recovering from his injuries in the palace, four adult princes including the Crown Prince and Situ Wei were present.
The abbot of Chunyang Palace greeted him at the palace gate early, led the Taoist priests to pick him up, and accompanied the princess inside to pay homage to Lu Dongbin. After saying goodbye, the princess walked briefly into the palace. Just as she turned around the corridor, she suddenly met a woman wearing an azure-colored Taoist robe.
When she came, she looked very beautiful and stood up immediately. The female crown went straight to the princess and worshiped: "I have something that I want to show to the princess. Please stand aside when looking at this thing, and don't let others take a look.
" Then he took out a plain cloth handkerchief from his arms, with something wrapped in it. "If others see it, it may cause serious harm."
Although the princess was suspicious, she believed her truth. Seeing that she told such a secret and seeing that the thing was no bigger than a jade pendant, she ordered someone to take it. The Taoist nun was still kneeling far away, and everyone else stepped back ten steps. The princess opened the veil and took a look.
, there was a dental plaque wrapped inside, and what was engraved on it was: Zeng Yuan, the sixth rank officer of the Imperial City Division of the Jin Dynasty. He took a breath of air.
The Taoist girl didn't even raise her head and said, "I beg you, please give it to me after you look at it." Princess Jin slowly wrapped the tooth tag and returned it to the Taoist nun. The Taoist nun immediately stuffed it back into her arms. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Princess Jin said: "Do you really believe it?"
"Yes." Xin Zhen still lowered his head, "Pindao married General Lin on the order of the prince. The prince also promoted Pindao to a higher official position. When Pindao recognized the prince, he really did not know his identity.
." She raised her head slightly and said with a wry smile, "Therefore, as soon as Pindao found out that Mr. Wang was actually the crown prince, he immediately disappeared. General Lin holds the military power of the whole country, and it is not easy for our Imperial City Secretary to send someone in. Your Majesty.
Don't worry, the Lin family will be loyal and loyal for generations to come. Isn't it better than adding a dispensable beauty to the prince's house?"
Princess Jin never dreamed that this Taoist nun was actually made by her husband. After being stunned for a long time, she bent down and helped Xin Zhen up. Then she held her hand and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Tell me honestly, do you have me in your heart?"
Son."
Xin Zhen lowered his head and said: "My dear wife, I only have the Imperial City Secretary in my heart, and the Imperial City Secretary is only loyal to the prince. When the prince ascends the throne, I will definitely have him in my heart."
Tears rolled down Princess Jin's eyes and she said "good" three times.
