"The princess thought that I intended to deceive, but she didn't know that during the period when the Marquis was on his mission to Chu, he sent messengers twice to secretly meet Lord Jing, and Jinyunlou's spies saw both of them..." Han Qian sat back down in the wooden pavilion, and also
I don’t mind telling the Marquis of Changxiang and Princess Qingyang that Jinyun Tower has spies lurking in Shu.
Han Qian also knew that it was not that the Marquis of Changxiang said "Master Han, please teach me", and both parties could sit down and talk about everything heart to heart, nor was it that the Marquis of Changxiang said, "Master Han, please teach me," and he would really be unabashed.
They turned out all the old stories and showed them to him, asking him for advice.
On the contrary, both sides need to come up with something more substantive in order to truly promote substantive cooperation.
The Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, had a gloomy look on his face, and then he thought about why Jing Qiongwen was being targeted.
Apart from Jing Qiongwen, he really couldn't find any other minister with enough weight to advise his father on Qingyang's marriage.
Of course, Jing Qiongwen was targeted, and Han Qian directly exposed Liang Wanqin's technician Cheng Jingqiongwen, which shows that Han Qian has a deep enough understanding of their investigation.
And the time they had been in contact with Han Qian was not long, only five months in total.
In such a short period of time, Han Qian got to know them so well. If Qingjiang Marquis had not been concealed by the illusion he had put on over the past few years and had been sending people to keep an eye on him secretly, how many secrets would have fallen to Qingjiang?
Hou's eyes?
Thinking of this, Prince Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, was about to break out in sweat.
"It is said that after the marriage is completed, Da Chu will abolish the direct line and establish the throne. It seems that the throne of Da Chu is already in the possession of the third prince." Han Qian broke off a willow branch and went to Dou Mu Pavilion.
The plump koi carp in the fish pond smiled and said, "But I don't need Han to elaborate. The Marquis also knows that nothing in the world will ever be so easy..."
The prince of Changxiang, Wang Yong, had his true identity revealed by Han Qian, so he had to call him "Master Han" to keep Han Qian here. However, he did not give in so easily. He narrowed his eyes slightly and forcibly calmed down his turbulent mood.
, looked at Han Qian, forced a smile and asked:
"Your Majesty dominates the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, and his civil and military skills are all mediocre. What kid dares to have strange ideas?"
"If things were as easy as what the Marquis said, Master Shen would not have died of poison." Han Qian said with a faint smile.
The Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
When Shen He first arrived in Tanzhou with the imperial edict at the end of August, his illness was obviously due to poisoning. However, the doctors in Han Qian's house and Tanzhou's medical officers insisted on treating Shen He as a miasma. After Shen He returned to Jinling,
He fell ill and died within a month.
The whole incident did not cause much trouble in Jinling. After all, life, old age, illness and death were a catastrophe that no one could escape. However, the Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, knew that the whole incident was not that simple.
It's just that his information sources in Jinling and Tanzhou are limited, and he still can't figure out the truth behind the many obstacles.
At this time, Han Qian personally admitted that he was convinced that Shen He was poisoned and died. In fact, he admitted that Shen He was treated as a miasma during his stay in Tanzhou, and it was Han Qian who deliberately concealed the truth of the matter.
"Why did Mr. Han insist that Mr. Shen was infected with the miasma when he was in Tanzhou?" Princess Qingyang couldn't help but ask.
Liang Wan, the Marquis of Changxiang, also looked over in shock, wanting to know the answer.
Han Qian glanced at Princess Qingyang and said, "The princess can figure it out!"
Princess Qingyang wanted to kick Han Qian in the face. This was a puzzle they had never been able to figure out. When Han Qian said this, didn't he laugh at their stupidity?
"Presumably Master Han and the Third Prince have already secretly informed His Majesty about Shao Jian Shen's poisoning, right?" Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, asked Han Qian, narrowing his eyes.
"The Marquis should have made such a guess for a long time, but he couldn't find any trace that His Majesty knew about this matter, so he is still confused, right?" Han Qian smiled, lifted up the wicker stained with pool water, and asked again , "Since the Marquis has contact with the Shenling Division's old past in Jinling, didn't they provide some useful information to enlighten the Marquis?"
"Hmph!" Hearing what Han Qian said, Princess Qingyang couldn't help but hum, her dissatisfaction evident.
Han Qian smiled slightly in his heart. When the disaster came, they all flew away. The Shenling Division had long been in pieces. How many people in the world would miss the old feelings?
"Master Han, please give me some advice." Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong couldn't do it, so he could only repeat this five-character mantra and bowed his head.
"The war to reduce the feudal vassal went too smoothly. Anning Palace has realized that it is inevitable to abolish the direct line and replace the direct line. Shen He died of illness and Chen Xingmo succeeded him as the young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was just to facilitate them to do important things," Han Qian said, "We will wait for If it is revealed prematurely that Shaojian Shen's death due to poisoning was a conspiracy of the Anning Palace, and if His Majesty cannot bear his temper and wants to eliminate the rebellion before the year, he will have no choice but to mobilize Chuzhou soldiers and horses to cross the Yangtze River and go south. Then we will have to work hard After all the hard work, it’s not like I made a wedding dress for King Xin!”
"You treated Shen He as a miasma, but your actual purpose was to hide the truth from Emperor Tianyou?" Princess Qingyang couldn't suppress the shock in her heart and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Emperor Tianyou will know about this and punish you for bullying? Sin, cut off your head?"
The God-Blessed Emperor rose to prominence between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. He spent half his life fighting in the army and became famous. Who dares to imagine that there are ministers under his command who dare to deceive each other like this?
You must know that if Yang Yuanpu wants to succeed to the throne smoothly, it will be difficult to conceal the past in the end. In the end, Han Qian will not be able to escape the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Unless Han Qian didn't consider Yang Yuanpu's successful succession?
Thinking of this, Princess Qingyang stared at Han Qian in shock and asked: "Besides welcoming the bride, what is your purpose in sending Shu?"
Han Qian glanced at Princess Qingyang in surprise. He didn't expect that Princess Qingyang, who usually seemed petty and quite temperamental, would think of the key point earlier than Marquis Changxiang.
"We must prepare for the worst, and the worst case scenario is that there will be unrest in Jinling," Han Qian said calmly, "Once this happens, His Highness must have someone who can lead the troops back to Beijing to put down the rebellion. Ability and preparation! As for this preparation, in addition to the preliminary training of the 100,000 elites in Tanzhou, in addition to gaining the support of Du Chongtao, Zhang Wei and other generals, it also needs the support of Shu to a certain extent. Obviously at present Judging from the situation, if Princess Qingyang marries into Da Chu, there is no guarantee that Shu will definitely support the third prince!"
Princess Qingyang's beautiful face turned red. Han Qian's words undoubtedly meant that as the beloved daughter of the Lord of Shu, she was so insignificant in the relationship between Chu and Shu.
Han Qian did not see the reaction of Princess Qingyang, but said to the Marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong: "The Marquis can understand now. When I said that I wanted to cooperate with the Marquis of Qingjiang, I was not trying to scare the Marquis."
The Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, sat there in shock, not expecting that this was the fundamental purpose of Han Qian's mission to Shu.
"Now it's time for the Marquis to express his sincerity." Han Qian waved the wicker in the pond water lightly, not forgetting to remind the Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, that he had just said so much, and he did not have nothing to do to tell them stories.
In front of the country made of countless corpses and flesh, a woman's weight is too light.
As long as the support of the Shu Kingdom can be obtained, not Han Qian but the third prince Yang Yuanpu can give up or sacrifice Qingyang at any time - and this result will be devastating to the Changxiang Houfu.
Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, smiled sadly and said: "I don't have someone like Master Han to help me. I have only been secretly supported by Master Jing these years. It's very difficult for me to do anything I want to do!"
Han Qian laid out all the critical and urgent matters on their side, and Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, knew in his heart that he should express something, otherwise he would not blame Han Qian for walking away with nothing.
However, compared to Yang Yuanpu, in addition to leading Jingxiang and the prestige accumulated in the vassal war, he also controlled the Longhuai Army, the military equipment of the eight states of Hunan, and a large group of people including Han Daoxun, Han Qian and his son, Xinchang Houfu, Zheng family, Shen Yang, etc. With the support of civil servants and military generals, Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, was really bleak when he thought about the available manpower around him.
"Please don't belittle yourself, Lord Marquis. The situations in Shu and Chu are different, and the strategies to deal with them are also different." Han Qian said.
"Please give me some advice from Master Han," said Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong.
"I also ask Princess Qingyang not to forget Han Qian's contribution to planning today." Han Qian bowed to Princess Qingyang and said.
Qingyang was still a little unhappy, but she also knew the meaning of Han Qian's gift.
The first level represents the alliance between the third prince Yang Yuanpu and his eldest brother on the level of Chu and Shu, and it also represents the alliance between her and Han Qian among the people around Yang Yuanpu.
It was just that she was a little reluctant to ask her to bow her head at this time.
At this moment, Changxiang Marquis Liang Wan inadvertently pulled Qingyang's sleeve, and Qingyang bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, Master Han."
Han Qian smiled slightly and elaborated on the fundamental differences between the political systems of Chu and Shu.
In the early days of Emperor Tianyou's rise to power in the Jianghuai area, the power that accommodated the Guangling Jiedushi Mansion was able to overwhelm the Jianghuai heroes. However, this also resulted in the power of the Xu family being too strong, forcing King Xin to seize the troops of Li Yu, the king of eastern Zhejiang Province, and seize control of Chuzhou. Check and balance it.
The Lord of Shu, Wang Jian, monopolized Sichuan and Shu. Although he also incorporated the remnants of many forces during the process of his rise, these remnants of forces also formed different factions within the Shu Kingdom, but none of them was as strong as the Xu family of the Chu Kingdom.
This allowed Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu, to control the military and political power of Shu better than Emperor Tianyou.
As the crown prince, Marquis Qingjiang currently has only six to seven thousand guards in his direct control. Marquis Wei has been with the army in the past few years to conquer the north and south, and the so-called Black Cloud Cavalry only has 3,000 cavalry. Even though Marquis Qingjiang and Marquis Wei are the same, they are on both sides. In total, the number of troops directly under their control is only 10,000.
In addition, although the maternal relative Zhao has a high position, she is only in charge of political affairs and not military power.
In fact, the changes in the political situation of the Shu Kingdom largely depend on the change of attitude of the founding princess Wang Jian; and Wang Jian, who spent his military life, has a reputation in the Shu Kingdom that is no less than that of Emperor Tianyou in the Chu Kingdom.
At the end, Han Qian said: "The plot of the Marquis is not to plot the Qing Jianghou, but to plot the Lord of Shu..."
