Han Qian had other people lurking in Shu and keeping track of their itinerary. Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong did not feel any surprise, but these lurking people did not contact Han Qian secretly and sent the secret message directly in front of them.
Once in the hands of Han Qian, it can be seen that the message conveyed by the secret letter is extremely urgent and serious.
Seeing the gloomy change on Han Qian's face, Changxiang Hou Wangyong asked with concern: "Did something happen in Tanzhou?"
Qingyang is about to marry the third prince as his concubine, and the fate of Changxiang Hou Wang Yong is also tied to Tanzhou to a certain extent. While at Nanjin Pass, Han Qian also further made this relationship clear. In the past month, everyone
We spent all day and night on the boat, "talking about everything". At this time, he was confused and didn't bother to avoid taboos, so he asked directly.
Jingzhao Yin is under the minister and above the minister. In addition to being in charge of the government affairs and prison affairs of Jinling counties, he also has the right to accept prison lawsuits in the states and counties in Dachu. His powers are related to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple,
The imperial censor's desk is equivalent, with the right to perform exclusively, and the qualification to participate in the Privy Council.
Being promoted from a Xiazhou governor like Xuzhou to Jingzhaoyin is definitely a super-level promotion.
Although such important news will soon spread to Shu, Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong will know about it after a delay of a few days at most, but how can Han Qian explain to Changxiang Wang Yong at this time that he has learned about his father's promotion?
Then he looked like he had seen a ghost?
Han Qian forced himself to calm down and said, "It's good news, but it's so unexpected that I was shocked."
Han Qian didn't say what happened, and the Marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong couldn't pry his mouth. He just looked at Han Qian doubtfully for several times, not knowing what the "good news" was, and Han Qian looked like he had just seen a ghost.
?
Two to three hundred boxes of betrothal gifts were loaded onto the car. Han Qian was envoy to Shu as a civil servant, so he naturally entered the city by car.
Before entering the city gate, he scribbled two letters in the car, called Zhao Wuji, who was riding on horseback, to the car and ordered: "My father was summoned by your majesty to Jinling as Jing Zhaoyin at this time. The situation is quite serious.
Sinister, you immediately take my order to Tanzhou and deliver a letter to His Highness, and then dispatch fifty elite guards to Jinling to meet my father and Feng Liao. The other letter can only be given to Feng Liao, if necessary.
You will escort my father and retreat to Taowu Military Mansion to observe the changes in the situation..."
"The situation has changed beyond human control. Maybe you can clarify everything and persuade the boss to wait and see how the situation changes?" Xi Rong also followed Han Qian into the carriage. Only then did she read the secret letter Zhao Ting'er urgently sent.
In such a tricky situation, he suggested rather hesitantly.
Han Qian shook his head. The more serious the issue of right and wrong, the firmer his father's opinion became.
Zhao Ting'er was right not to directly clarify the matter of poisonous candles, otherwise, the situation might have been more complicated and sinister.
Now he could only hope that when Emperor Tianyou died of poison, his father would fully understand that the current situation could not be rectified by manpower, and be able to retreat with Zhao Wuji and the others to the Taowu Army Complex to wait for the opportunity to clean up the mess.
If this was pointed out now, Han Qian really didn't know what choice his father would make?!
If Jinling is in chaos, millions of soldiers and civilians inside and outside Jinling City will fall into Luosheng Hell. If Liang Jun takes advantage of the situation again at this time, the flames of war will completely burn across the Jianghuai River, not to mention how many people will be killed, injured, and displaced.
Faced with such a horrific scene, how could Han Qian expect that his father, who was determined to serve the people and had great ambitions like a moth flying into a flame, would choose to stand by and watch?
"Did Emperor Tianyou also realize that his body was dying?" Xi Rong asked again.
Han Qian nodded. If it were not for the fact that Changxiang Hou Wang Yong was personally summoned by Emperor Tianyou when recommending the candidate for the wedding envoy, and if it were not for the fact that there was nothing unusual with Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, it would mean that Shi Fei's side could still get to Tianyou every once in a while.
He even suspected that Emperor Tianyou was completely under the control of Anning Palace at this time.
Emperor Tianyou was not under complete control for the time being, and the imperial edict was still based on his own will. However, he transferred his father to Jinling to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, but did not transfer Chuzhou soldiers and horses to cross the river. He probably did not realize that he was deeply poisoned.
However, whether his own body can hold up, how could Emperor Tianyou, who has been conquering the world with swords and bows for half a generation, not have a clue?
Otherwise, no matter how eager Emperor Tianyou was to abolish the direct lineage and establish a new one, he should have waited until the third prince officially married Princess Qingyang before transferring his father to the capital as Jing Zhaoyin!
Emperor Tianyou put these two things together at this time, which shows that he has realized that there is something wrong with his body and mistakenly thought that he was seriously ill and was dying. This just made An Ning Palace determined to take risks.
Han Qian had originally hoped that it could be delayed for another four or five months. His idea was likely to come to nothing at any time, and the situation in Da Chu would undergo earth-shaking changes at any time.
At this time, Han Qian also felt some regret in his heart.
If Feng Liao's suggestion had been adopted and Jiang Huo had secretly reported the poisonous candle to Emperor Tianyou through Yuan Guowei, Emperor Tianyou would most likely have chosen to mobilize Chuzhou troops to join King Qin in Beijing, and the situation would have been extremely unfavorable to their side, but it would not have been a disaster.
Put his father in danger!
In fact, even if Emperor Tianyou was not poisoned, when he was deposed and re-established, Jing Zhaoyin's position was still a big fire pit that would be irreversible if he was not careful.
There is no regret medicine in the world, and now Han Qian can't leave the wedding here, so he can only send Zhao Wuji to Jinling urgently to respond.
In addition to Zhao Wuji, Feng Liao and Jinyunlou's troops in Jinling, after the third prince received his letter, the Longque Army could also transfer three thousand elites back to Taowu Military Mansion in advance in the name of garrison to prevent unforeseen events.
Be prepared, Han Qian believes that when his father realizes that the overall situation is irreversible, there will be no problem in protecting himself.
At this time, Han Qian did not care about hiding anything in front of Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong and others. He gave Zhao Wuji some instructions through the car window and asked him to take the two of them directly to Yang Qin and leave Shu by boat.
As the envoy to welcome the bride, Han Qian is not so free to go out since he has entered the Shu territory. However, if he has something to do, he will send a messenger back to Chu, and he will be allowed to go through all the checkpoints without blocking him.
But this scene fell in the eyes of Changxiang Hou Wang Yong, but he was full of suspicion.
During this month of getting along, the status and importance of Zhao Wuji, Yang Qin and others around Han Qian had naturally been noticed by the Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong.
After Han Qian received the secret message, he actually sent away the most capable generals around him. How could he not be suspicious of Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang?
"What kind of 'good news' has come from Tanzhou, and Han Qian was asked to directly send his deli and clean people back?" Princess Qingyang looked through the car window and saw this scene with both doubts and worries. There are countless possibilities.
Her mind was racing, worried about the Third Prince, what might happen to the Dragon Bird Army, or what might happen to Aurous Hill that would cause Han Qian to lose his bearings?
After entering the city, Wang Yong signaled the driver to slow down so that the two cars could run parallel and he and Han Qian could talk through the car window.
"The capital of our Great Shu Kingdom is Chengdu, a prefectural city left over from the previous dynasty. During the Shu Han Dynasty, Chengdu was known as Shu Brocade, and became an important source of revenue for the Shu Han Dynasty. The Shu Han Dynasty once established Jin Guan and Jin Guan City specifically to maintain the production of Shu Brocade.
Jinguan City was destroyed in the war long ago, and this name became the nickname of Chengdu Fucheng."
Wang Yong chatted with Han Qian about the history of Shu Capital with great interest, and seemed to be completely unable to see the worry on Han Qian's brow.
"My father is very fond of hibiscus. In the past two years, he has ordered that all hibiscus trees be planted on the forty-mile-long city wall. Unfortunately, it is already mid-November. When we entered the city this time, most of the hibiscus trees on both sides of the avenue had fallen leaves.
Unfortunately, I can’t see the beautiful view of the sea of hibiscus flowers.”
"Look at the red and wet places at dawn, and the flowers are blooming in the official city!" Han Qian perfunctorily recited a line from Du Fu's poem about Chengdu, which was a response to Wang Yong's enthusiasm.
"Master Han is your noble envoy. My father, the King, specially ordered Honglu Temple to set aside an apartment from Jinhua Tower for Master Han to live in," Wang Yong said excitedly, "Jinhua Tower is the residence of the former dynasty.
Tian Lingzi was the residence of the traitor eunuch Tian Lingzi, who was in charge of the military affairs of the two rivers. Tian Lingzi was defeated by my father, and this garden became a place for banquets for civil and military officials of the capital and poets and writers..."
Before Han Qian came over, the spies who sneaked in from Jinyun Tower could not obtain other information, but they had already figured out the main buildings and terrain of the Shu capital.
The garden of this Jinhua Tower covers an area of 30 to 40 acres, with hundreds of pavilions and pavilions. There is a five-story wooden building in the southeast corner of the garden. Climb up and look at the blooming hibiscus flowers inside and outside the garden, so it is named Jinhua.
The whole garden is also named after Jinhua Tower.
The weather was fine today. They had just entered the south city gate and looked up at the clouds in the northwest. They could see the eaves and corners of Jinhua Tower protruding from seven or eight miles away. Among the large group of low buildings, they looked like
It was so outstanding that it was rumored that when Tian Lingzi was in power in Chengdu, he often entertained guests in that five-story building.
When it comes to Tian Lingzi, who served as the military envoy and guard lieutenant in the previous dynasty, others could call him a thief. Even if Wang Yong said "thief" or "a thief", Han Qian could see it.
The corners of Wei Qun, the minister of Honglu Temple in Shu who accompanied him, twitched slightly, showing no intention of echoing his words.
Han Qian smiled inwardly, but he didn't expect Wei Qun to have some sense of shame.
Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu, had been adopted by Tian Lingzi as his adopted son. Under Tian Lingzi's promotion, he was gradually able to hold important posts within the Shence Army such as Du Yuhou. In the end, Wang Jian defeated Tian Lingzi and dominated the two rivers.
Less than twenty years have passed since these years. Although no one usually mentions it, the memories of Shu people are not that bad.
If the news was correct, Tian Lingzi asked Wang Jian to strangle him to death with a string made of brocade silk in Jinhua Tower.
Of course, Han Qian has no qualms about staying in Jinhua Building. Otherwise, where in the main buildings in the capital of Shu would not be stained with blood?
The issue that Han Qian is now concerned about is that Tian Lingzi, as the most powerful eunuch in the previous dynasties Zhaozong and Xizong, in addition to being in charge of the Shence Army, his power tentacles must also extend into the Shenling Division.
Although the Shenling Division is not known to the world, in the previous dynasty Zhaozong used eunuchs to govern the Shence Army. The Shenling Division intended to cut down the vassals and reunify Yunei. In the end, the power inevitably fell into the hands of the eunuch group. In fact, the Shenling Division
Lingsi can be said to be the existence hidden deep in the shadows of the Shence Army, and it is impossible to simply cut it apart.
Even if the relationship between Jinyun Tower and Longque Army continues, their mutual penetration will become deeper and deeper.
In the previous dynasty, Zhaozong and Xizong had moved from Guanzhong to Liangchuan to avoid trouble due to refugees and rebellions in the feudal towns. In addition to the fact that the two rivers were once completely controlled by the Shence Army, Han Qian believed that the power of the Shenling Division in the Liangchuan was also
Definitely not weak.
Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu, was the first general to station the Shence Army, so it was impossible for him to have nothing to do with the Shenling Division. However, he was able to defeat Tian Lingzi's domination of the two rivers with inferior troops, most likely with the help of the Shenling Division's power in Shu.
Han Qian was very suspicious that after the remaining forces of the Shenling Division in Shu had been taken over by the Shu Lord Wang Jian, they, together with the remaining forces of the Shence Army, became the foundation of the military and political affairs of the Shu state.
Therefore, along the way, there was always a shadow in Han Qian's heart that could not be erased, that is, how much did Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu, know about Wanhonglou and Xinchanghou Mansion, the remaining forces of the Shenling Division in Jianghuai?
How much do Changxiang Hou Wangyong and Qingyang Princess know about this?
In addition, Li Puneng, the Marquis of Xinchang, the concubine who lives in the palace, and the woman in black veil who hides behind the scenes and has not shown his true face, are facing Wang Jian, who has stolen the power of Shence Army and Shenling Division in Shu and continues to separatize Shu.
What's the attitude?
The situation of Princess Qingyang marrying the third prince as a concubine is actually much more complicated than what the world thought. Thinking of this, Han Qian's expression also perked up slightly.
When his father is transferred to Jinling, he may be in danger, but what he can do is very limited, and this trip to Shu is far from being as simple as he imagined. He still has to work hard to deal with this side first.
