The concubine Wang Chan'er returned to her residence and drank the maid away. However, she was still full of complaints about how Yao Xishui and the palace envoy asked her to bear down and choose to compromise during the discussion just now. She could no longer hold back and vented out:
"Why should Han Qian be allowed to serve as the governor of Xuzhou and delay the appointment of a new governor of Xuzhou? Yueyang's innocence will be overturned?"
It's not that Wang Chan'er wasn't smart enough, otherwise she wouldn't be alive to this day, but she spent half her life struggling in the shadow of Xu Hui in Anning Palace, struggling with the fear that her mother would lose her son at any time, and she was cautious in the palace and even spoke loudly.
She didn't even dare to breathe, her psychology was distorted and suppressed to the extreme, and today she suddenly became a high-ranking concubine with real power. How could the part of her character that had been suppressed for half her life not be distorted and expanded?
Yao Xishui could understand the paranoia of the concubine Wang Chan'er to some extent, and patiently persuaded him: "In order to confuse the Ma family, Han Daoxun and Han Qian used a 'separate regime' to govern Xuzhou and suppress local dissidents. At this time, not only Tian Cheng, but also Gao
The families of Shao, Lin Haizheng and others, as well as the Buqu family that Han Qian recruited in recent years, as well as more than 4,000 Feng clan members and slaves, all moved to Xuzhou.
He was almost crippled and subjugated by Han Qian. After taking Tanzhou, the generals and military attachés who controlled the Xuzhou camp were all direct descendants of Han Qian. Even if Han Qian was not appointed to also serve as the governor of Xuzhou, Han Qian could not change Han Qian.
The fact that Qian controls Xuzhou is better than fulfilling His Highness's wishes first. Only in this way can we know what Han Qian is planning."
"What idea can he have? He worked so hard to bring Princess Qingyang back, but there is no way he really wants to stay in Xuzhou to observe his filial piety for three years. I think he is using this matter to force Pu'er, but Pu'er insists on
Fell into his trap! If you really want this guy to also serve as the governor of Xuzhou, won’t Xuzhou’s surname be Han from now on? You have always said that Shen Yang’s introduction can be used directly. With today’s incident, you must be sure that he has not been secretly doing it for a long time.
Bribed by Han Qian?" Princess Wang Chan'er said angrily. She took a sip of tea and found that the tea was a little cold. She was very angry. At this time, she couldn't pull the tea maid over to slap her ears.
I can only hold back my anger.
However, when I think of all the contingency plans that Han Qian made for the dramatic upheaval in Jinling, she was the only one left out, and every time I think of what a bleak end he would end up in if he fell into the hands of that bitch Xu Hui, his heart goes out to Han Qian.
Unable to suppress resentment.
Even though Xuzhou has actually fallen under the control of Han Qian, even though Xuzhou is a sparsely populated barbaric land with strong and difficult folk customs, the thought of letting Han Qian actually serve as the governor of Xuzhou is considered semi-official this time.
She was still extremely unhappy after admitting the fact that the Han family had succeeded each other in Xuzhou.
It was polite enough that she didn't pull this guy over and make him kneel down to beg for mercy. How could she still be willing to see him turn around and become a vassal-level figure sitting in charge?
In addition, Yao Xishui and others said that Shen Yang was a direct minister of Chu, and she never expected that Shen Yang would step forward and force them to determine the candidate for the governor of Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Yao Xishui looked helplessly at his wife who continued to accompany the concubine in the palace as the envoy of Cishou Palace. He hoped that the lady could still suppress the concubine Wang Chaner at this time and swallow the bad breath first.
If they had not expected that Han Qian would find a way to rush back to Dachu from Shu as quickly as possible after learning about the dramatic changes in Jinling, they would not have even risked their way back to Yueyang through the blockade of the Lou Chuanjun.
In that case, there would be no need to push the concubine Wang Chan'er out to compete with Yang Yuanpu. As a result, the mother-son relationship between Yang Yuanpu and the concubine Wang Chan'er suddenly weakened to the extreme at this moment.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it.
They had previously speculated that after the news of the dramatic changes in Jinling reached the Shu capital, their Shu lord Wang Jian would postpone the wedding even if he did not regret the engagement. However, they still did not expect that Han Qian would bring Princess Qingyang back to Dachu.
The current theory Jiang Huo brought back from Xuzhou is that Princess Qingyang was worried that changes in Chu would affect King Tan, and she was too worried about King Tan, so she hurriedly left Shu before the departure date.
Of course they won't believe such rhetoric.
At least Han Qian and the others did not take the more convenient and faster Wushan Changxia, which showed that they were worried about being intercepted by the Shu army when they returned to Chu State. However, Han Qian sent Princess Qingyang to Yueyang, which was already what they had to deal with. A big trouble.
With this move, Han Qian greatly weakened their advantage. Yao Xishui felt that for now, it was more important to find out Han Qian's true thoughts first.
As for Shen Yang's choice, they probably pushed too hard and Shen Yang had to compromise with Han Qian, right?
Zhang Ping stood aside with his hands down, feeling somewhat sad.
He had been with Han Qian for a long time, and he knew clearly what a terrifying opponent Han Qian was. He really couldn't understand why Lord Li was so afraid of Han Qian that he conspired with Wang Wenqian when they were in Qiuhu Mountain, and he couldn't wait to issue the decree. Strive for rebellion and lead to Han Daoxun's death?
Or maybe it could be said that the Marquis, the concubine and his wife still only have a superficial understanding of Han Qian, thinking that Han Qian is just a man with a dark mind, ruthless methods, and the courage to take risks?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ping couldn't help but let out a deep sigh in his heart. Thinking that Han Daoxun died so tragically because of his sincerity, God had treated him so unfairly. Allowing the Han family to lead Xuzhou could be regarded as a kind of compensation.
"The Zheng family doesn't want to be overly hostile to Han Qian, and we shouldn't get involved in this matter; right now, we still have to organize the concubine's guard of honor and the bodyguards as soon as possible!" Mrs. Heisha stood beside her, she didn't want to get involved. Knowing what Zhang Ping was thinking, he calmly asked Yao Xishui, "Have you gone to Chai Jian and Zhou Yuan about this matter? What did they say?"
As the envoy of the Cishou Palace, Mrs. Heisha usually stays with the concubine Wang Chan'er and cannot enter and leave the palace at will. Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang are mainly responsible for communicating with Chai Jian, Zhou Yuan and Li Chong; As the Prince's Chancellor, Ping usually serves Yang Yuanpu. At the same time, he has been somewhat slack and depressed during this period.
Yao Xishui said:
"Mrs. Shi was imprisoned in the capital by Xu Hui. The concubine is the only elder around her highness. Of course, she cannot be careless about the honor guard, guarding and other matters. Chai Jian talked to Shen Yang about this matter, and Shen Yang did not have particularly strong objections at the time. , I just delayed it on the grounds that the situation is urgent and it is difficult to take care of too much. Since the Marquis is not here, the concubine still has to go to Han Daoming, Chen De and the two Zheng Gongs in person to urge them."
When Yang Yuanpu left the palace five years ago, he was granted the title of Marquis of Linjiang. He had a bodyguard camp under the command of Chen De to guard his safety. Later, he was granted the title of county prince and prince. He also had a marriage palace and a tent palace to command thousands of elites. A soldier is responsible for serving as a guard of honor, accompanying servants, and serving as a guard.
At this time, the concubine Wang Chan had already participated in political affairs in the form of a curtain, had an independent ceremonial guard, and kept guards and horses. This not only meant that she would have a more formal status and power in Yueyang, but also meant that they could directly control a military force in Yueyang City.
It is an elite combat force that is not restricted by the Privy Council and other ministries and can be mobilized at will.
As the aunt of King Tan Yang Yuanwo, the concubine should not be spared the honor guard at any level, and special guards should be arranged to take care of everything.
As a concubine, Wang Chan'er could not meet Chai Jian, Zhou Yuan, Li Chong and other officials and generals who were not high enough at will, but she could directly summon Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming, Chen De and others as ministers.
If she cannot summon ministers, how can she demonstrate her power as a concubine to participate in political discussions?
Even for imperial edicts, there are certain rules that must be followed as to who is responsible for drafting them, who uses the seal, and where they are sent for filing and issuance.
In addition, when the dynasty continues the system of the previous dynasty, let alone the imperial edicts, even the edicts must be submitted to the Ministry of Education. If the edicts are found to be doubtful, they can be sealed and returned. If there are any errors, they will be refuted at the time of the matter.
If Wang Chaner casually wrote a note and sent it to Yao Xishui, and the subordinate departments followed it to the letter, then the operation of the entire empire system would be a fool's errand.
Therefore, dealing with Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming, Chen De and others was still handled by Wang Chaner personally.
Wang Chan'er nodded in agreement, but when she thought of Princess Qingyang, her face became gloomy again, and she asked: "How should we deal with the Shu girl sent by Han Qian? It's not like she dares to follow Jiang Huo to Yueyang.
It’s a fuel-efficient lamp!”
"The late emperor passed away less than three months ago. People in the country do not discuss marriage, and His Highness is no exception. Let her hang out for now." Mrs. Heisha said.
Zhang Ping stood aside. When he heard this, he couldn't help but feel slightly moved. He thought to himself that there is still one month left, three months until the death of the late emperor. By then, whether the concubine wants it or not, Shen Yang and the others will mention Qingyang.
Regarding the marriage between the Princess and His Highness, regardless of how Princess Qingyang returned to Dachu with Han Qian, the Lord of Shu, Wang Jian, probably ignored his daughter. It is expected that something will happen within a month.
Reaction?
The situation was so complicated that Zhang Ping couldn't figure it out at the moment. What did Han Qian expect when he sent Princess Qingyang to Yueyang City, or how Han Qian judged how the situation would develop!
From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Ping didn't want to be an enemy of someone like Han Qian, but he was deeply imprinted by Shenlingsi and Wanhonglou, and he couldn't control many things.
In this world, who can make the whole world turbid and I alone be pure? Who can make everyone drunk and me alone sober?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ping bowed slightly and said: "If there is nothing else, I will retire to His Highness first and see if there is anything Your Highness needs for Wei Chen to run errands for."
"Go, go, keep an eye on Pu'er and don't let him listen to Shen Yang, Wang Lin and others," Wang Chan'er said, "Lin Haizheng, Feng Xuan and that Du Qiniang were all tricked by Han Qian
You have to find a way to drive away the nails around Pu'er so that everyone can be in peace."
