An inkstone fell on the stone pavement in front of the court and was smashed into pieces.
Everyone was shocked and looked at the livid-faced Han Qian standing in the corridor in silence. They did not expect that Han Qian would be so furious after receiving the letter.
"My father was brutally tortured, but in his heart he thought about the devastation caused by the war. I worked so hard and risked my life just to prevent the war from spreading too widely. They were all good enough to seize the world with ease. It’s okay to miss me a little bit, but they fan the flames and do everything possible. Aren’t they really afraid that the fire will burst into flames and burn them to nothing but ashes?”
The more Han Qian thought about it, the more he resented it, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw an inkstone and Fang Yuan couldn't understand his hatred, and violently kicked the table with the calligraphy table under the corridor down the steps.
"It's a good table that doesn't bother you. Why are you so angry at it?" Zhao Ting'er gently advised Han Qian not to lose his temper because of the many things that happened in Jinling. "Perhaps someone wants to muddy the waters. But with so many princes and ministers in Jinling, it's impossible for everyone to know their priorities - Shen Yang, didn't Yang En strongly advocate that Xue Ruogu replace Shang Wensheng to take charge of Guangde Mansion? Aren't they just afraid that someone would cause some trouble in Guangde Mansion? "
"Only Shen Yang, Yang En, and Xue Ruogu know what the priorities are and they have nothing to do with it - people like Zheng Yu, Yang Zhitang, Li Pu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao, Huang Hua, Fu Mo, Han Daoming, and Han Daochang in the court , Wei Zhen, Fu Gengwen and others in the prefecture and county, all of them are counted as one, and none of them is not a smart person, but what do more than 100, 200,000 lower-class women and children mean to them? If these women and children are not willing to be trampled and kneaded by them Of all the untouchables and bastards, which one of them doesn’t hate them and quickly get rid of them?”
Han Qian was so angry that his hands were shaking slightly and he said,
"There are hundreds of rebellious slaves, most of them are old, weak, women and children who are not good at walking. Where did they pass through when they escaped, and where did they eventually escape. Not to mention that Zifangsi and Jinyunsi have their eyes on Guangde Mansion, Lishui, So many government officials in Nanling, Langxi, Xuancheng and other counties are blinded. Can they see any clues? In the end, they vaguely said that they might flee to Guangde Mansion. Isn’t it because they think the water in Guangde Mansion is not muddy enough? ?Isn’t it just that they want to mess up the Guangde Mansion, and then find an excuse to completely dismantle the Guangde Mansion and wipe it out, so that they feel happy and not so annoying? Aren’t these idiots just thinking about Jinling? Isn't it because there are so many troops stationed there that we are confident and confident that even if there is civil unrest in Guangde Mansion, we can surely put it out?"
"The purpose of some people is to stir up civil unrest in Guangde Mansion?" Gao Shao asked in shock when he saw Han Qian guessing that the situation would become serious here.
"Your Majesty may also want to go along with the current and cause some waves in Guangde Mansion, but he is not willing to see a big chaos in Guangde Mansion. I think His Majesty's plan should be to take action at a critical moment to curb the deterioration of the momentum, and use this to Suppress the power of the clan in the court." Feng Liao said.
Feng Liao could more or less understand that Han Qian was angry at this time. It was not that he was being suspected or targeted, but that he was worried that after the chaos in Guangde Mansion, the situation in Jiangnan that had finally calmed down would break out into war again, and hundreds of thousands of people would be killed again. People were killed and injured, and the situation that had finally been stabilized was thrown into chaos again - this would make the efforts of both father and son to take risks and even pay their lives for it, all turned into ashes.
"What qualifications does Shuzi have to play dirty tricks?" Han Qian was also confused at this time, and at the same time he was extremely disappointed with Yang Yuanpu. He said, "I left such a good bargaining chip for him, but he didn't dare to take it, but he was thinking about me.
Did you do anything in Guangde Mansion? Others pushed Shang Wensheng to Guangde Mansion to make trouble, but he acquiesced, not because he also wanted to see Shang Wensheng do something in Guangde Mansion so that he could see me clearly
Is there any manipulation? Why does he think he can properly control the development of Guangde Mansion? As long as he knows a little bit about the priorities, even if he wants to get rid of me and then hurry up, he should not play with fire in Guangde Mansion at this time.
When the fire starts to burn, he knows how many people are hoping that the fire will burn even brighter, and how many people he knows will hold his hand and prevent him from putting out the fire?"
"I blame this matter for thinking too simplistically. At that time, I was just trying to cover up the fact that Han Donghu ran away without permission. I didn't expect that so many people were eager to involve Xuzhou," Feng Yi said regretfully. "If I had simply revealed the fact that Han Donghu had left.
, but it won’t allow them to find opportunities to use the topic to their advantage.”
"This matter has nothing to do with you. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop," Han Qian exhaled, sat down on the steps and said, "Everyone is bent on causing trouble and muddying the waters. How can we avoid it?"
There’s no way to avoid——”
"How about I go to Jinling in person and find out what's going on?" Feng Liao asked.
Han Qian has almost recovered all his people from Jinling. At present, they can only collect some necessary information with the help of the e-mails set up by the prefectures and counties and the business travelers passing through Xuzhou.
Feng Liao thought that instead of making groundless speculations in Xuzhou, it would be better to send more people there so that he could keep track of the movements in Guangde Mansion and Jinling at any time.
"That old servant of the Shang family should have known some details, but he was tortured to death by Wei Zhen. We found out what happened, but it was to no avail." Han Qian shook his head and said. At this time, he could see more clearly the stubbornness of the clan clan.
With stupidity.
It is not that there are no smart people in aristocratic clans, but sometimes there are just too many smart people, who are too aware of their own interests and gains, but they become more stubborn and stupid.
Han Qian didn't think there would be any use for Feng Liao to go there in person at this time.
The main reason is that the efficiency of information transmission in today's world is too slow.
Even if Xuzhou had manpower lurking in Jinling and Guangde Mansion, it would take about a month to send the news back to Xuzhou - Han Qian had not been willing to waste Xuzhou's limited resources on building a huge
However, the cost of relatively efficient information network is too high.
Now Feng Liao rushes to Jinling to investigate and find out what happened before sending a letter back to Xuzhou. Xuzhou will take corresponding measures at that time. Won't the day lilies be completely cooled early?
Han Qian walked down the steps and lifted up the desk he had just kicked down. Fortunately, the desk was made of sandalwood and was very strong and did not fall apart after being kicked.
Feng Liao, Gao Shao, Xi Xunqiao and others wanted to come over to help, but Han Qian refused and said, "I pooped myself and wiped my own ass."
Feng Liao, Gao Shao, and Xi Xunqiao smiled awkwardly and stood aside with their hands folded, looking at Zhao Ting'er and Xi Yi. They walked over to help Han Qian pick up the pen holder, paperweight, seals and other items that were not broken.
"Lao Guo, what's your idea?" Feng Yi asked in a low voice when he saw Guo Rong stretching out his hand to twirl his non-existent beard and nudged his waist.
"We still don't know exactly what happened, so where can we find a countermeasure?" Guo Rong said.
Han Qian moved the papers back to the corridor and spread them out again, hoping to decipher more hidden messages from the imperial papers that had been circulated to prefectures and counties through the Yi Road Station.
At this time, a guard walked into the courtyard and reported: "Han Bao, the captain of the cavalry camp, wants to see you, sir."
"What's he doing here?" Feng Yi asked doubtfully.
After Feng Yi, Han Dong and the others came back, Han Donghu could only put it aside for the time being and not deal with it. It had no impact on his brother Han Bao's appointment in the cavalry camp, and everything was business as usual.
Although the situation has changed now, they have just seen the latest Di newspaper. Han Bao should not know anything, right?
"Let him come in." Han Qian motioned to the guards to bring Han Bao in.
At this time, Han Bao was no longer a dazed young man in the countryside. After arriving in Xuzhou, he received a special class for four months and had just returned to the cavalry camp to lead the team. At this time, he was wearing armor and holding a waistband.
Wearing a sword makes a person tall, strong, confident and heroic.
Seeing so many people in the yard, Han Bao was just slightly startled, and then came forward to report: "Han Bao from the riding camp is here to see you, sir - yesterday my mother and little sister were staying at home, and someone slipped a letter in from outside the door.
Xin, I think adults should know..."
"Has the grandson of Han Donghu had the nerve to return to Xuzhou?" Feng Yi asked curiously, "Everyone else has fled back, but why didn't he dare to show his face? I beat him again?"
Han Qian took the letter and read it for a while, then handed it to Feng Yi and others to circulate.
After reading the letter, Feng Yi realized that Han Donghu had not come back, but asked someone else to take the letter back to Xuzhou. As for the person, no one showed up. He stuffed the letter into the Han family's house and ran away. It should have been from
A soldier who escaped from the Shang family.
Feng Liao frowned and said, "Sure enough, too many people are trying their best to blow the wind to Guangde Mansion!"
In the letter Han Donghu sent back, he wrote down all the details he knew about the assassination and the doubts he could see and think of.
This also means that many of Xuzhou's previous guesses have been almost verified, and it can be believed that there are more turbulent waves and murderous intentions in the depths, but even so, they still have nothing to do.
"Should we call Tian Cheng and others over to discuss countermeasures?" Gao Shao asked.
Tian Cheng, Zhao Wuji, Zhou Chu, Lin Haizheng, Zhao Qi and others are all in charge of various county affairs or lead troops stationed in Zhijiang, Quyang, Qianyang and other places. At present, only Feng Liao, Gao Shao, Xi Xunqiao, Feng Yi and others are in charge.
He stayed in Chenzhong County to assist Han Qian in handling state government affairs.
"Just send someone to inform them about this matter. They don't necessarily have to rush over." Han Qian said, not thinking that everyone getting together and staring at each other would be of any help.
The most painful thing right now is that he knows that a huge crisis is brewing in Guangde Mansion, but if he really wants to send people to intervene directly, it is likely to make the situation worse.
However, even if he had only fought side by side, even if he had only made a promise to the women and children of Guangde Mansion, he could not just watch the current crisis in Guangde Mansion eventually turn into unstoppable civil unrest, and let those people find excuses to carry out bloody suppression.
.
Even if the lives of hundreds of thousands of women and children were not taken into account, the civil unrest in Guangde Mansion would be suppressed in the end, which would greatly weaken the vitality of Jianghuai and turn his father and his efforts into ashes.
But, what should he do now and what can he do?
Seeing Han Qian sitting on the steps, Feng Yi asked his brother in a low voice: "Can you send someone to find Han Donghu? The grandson caused the trouble, and now he, Su Lie and others are indeed together..."
When Feng Liao saw that Han Qian didn't even look up, he knew that Han Qian didn't approve of this approach. Thinking about it, what could they do even if they sent someone to contact Han Donghu?
Han Donghu could send someone to send a letter back to explain what happened, which was a sign of Xuzhou's kindness to him, but he couldn't expect too much.
Is it possible that Xuzhou can order Han Donghu and so many rebellious slaves of the Shang family to surrender at this time with hundreds of families? Can they be willing to give hundreds of heads in exchange for the end of the crisis in Guangde Mansion?
Feng Liao, Gao Shao, Xi Xunqiao, Feng Yi, and Xi Rong stood aside and discussed quietly, but after repeated discussions, they found that none of the methods they could think of might be able to control the deterioration of the situation.
The so-called beyond reach is nothing better than this.
"The Marquis actually has a plan available, but the Marquis has not made up his mind!" Guo Rong, who kept a certain distance from others even after joining Xuzhou and did not have close contacts, said at this time, standing aside.
Hearing what he said, everyone else turned their heads and didn't understand what Guo Rong meant.
Han Qian raised his head and glanced at Guo Rong, patted his butt and stood up. Everyone else looked over with doubts, and they couldn't guess what other strategies could be used.
"Let me think about it." Han Qian hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make a decision. He signaled to others to go back first. There were some things that he needed to weigh the pros and cons in a deeper way.
Then Han Qian walked into the room and ignored everyone.
"Master Guo, what do you mean by this? Why are you playing riddles with us now?" Feng Yi was not as reserved as Feng Liao, Gao Shao, and Xi Xunqiao. He was a little afraid of Han Qian, but he grabbed him directly.
Guo Rong asked without any psychological pressure.
"Your Majesty and the scheming ministers in the court are worried about what the Marquis has done in Guangde Mansion, so they are trying every possible means to create something to arouse the enemy, even at the risk of stirring up civil unrest?" Guo Rong
Standing in front of the court, he said, "If the Marquis can make them realize that if there is any civil unrest in Guangde Mansion, it will only benefit the Marquis and Xuzhou in the end, and the attitude of His Majesty and many ministers will definitely change."
…”
"The key is that we didn't do any tricks. How can we make them realize that the consequences will be beneficial to Xuzhou?" Feng Yi said dissatisfied, "Besides, they did these things just to find Xuzhou to do something in Guangde Mansion.
Hands and feet - what kind of idea did you come up with?"
Not long after the Jinling War, Han Qian's influence in Guangde Mansion was undoubted. If he really sent a large number of men to sneak back to the Guangde Army to cause trouble, he would definitely cause trouble.
In addition to the inherent hatred of the aristocratic clans, this is precisely what Emperor Yanyou and many smart people like Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Yang Zhitang, etc. feared most about Guangde Mansion.
This can be said to be a knot that cannot be solved without completely dismantling Guangde Mansion.
At present, the imperial army and the bodyguards are strong. If Xuzhou really wants to admit that there is manipulation in Guangde Mansion and find real evidence, is it possible that the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Jinling are vegetarians?
If Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu and others are still afraid of Xuzhou, even if suppressing the Guangde Mansion will once again dampen the vitality of Da Chu and delay the process of clearing Shouzhou, they will definitely give priority to solving their internal problems.
Taking a step back, even if Emperor Yanyou and Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Zhang Chao and others could not extinguish the fire that burned in Guangde Mansion, causing the Jianghuai land to once again fall into war and chaos, it would only end up being
However, Liang Jun, who had already put down King Bo's rebellion at this time, gained a victory.
Xuzhou is still too weak and too remote, at least at this time, there is no chance of taking it randomly.
If Jianghuai is really unstable, Yang Yuanpu will only strengthen his control over Hunan states and tighten restrictions on Xuzhou.
Feng Yi, Feng Liao and others are not like Han Daoxun and others who have such a noble and persistent idea of saving all people from fire and water. It is because they cannot see the possibility of taking it by chaos that they have a headache.
Otherwise, they wouldn't bother to care so much.
"I understand what Mr. Guo means," Feng Liao suddenly understood at this time. He looked at the back of Han Qian who walked into the room, looking slightly lonely, and said loudly, "The plan mentioned by Mr. Guo may be feasible!"
"Xuzhou and Jinling are too far apart. If anything happens to Jinling, it will be two or three months later. Guangde Mansion will probably be in chaos by then." Han Qian also felt deeply in a dilemma at this moment and could not decide whether to accept it.
Suggestions from Guo Rong and Feng Liao.
"Whether it's time or not, Xuzhou must have fangs." Feng Liao firmly advised.
"You all go out." Feng Yi couldn't figure out what the riddle was going on between Han Qian, Guo Rong and his brother. He was really upset, so he went out first before Han Bao, Han Dong and other attendants who were not high enough to participate in the secret.
Feng Liao glanced at Xi Xunqiao and said to Feng Yi: "You, Xirong and Si Hu join the army, please stay away for the time being."
Feng Yi was eager to glare at his brother.
"It's okay for Xunqiao to come in and discuss matters." Han Qian said in the room at this time.
Xi Xunqiao wanted to understand at this moment what the strategy discussed by Guo Rong, Feng Liao and Han Qian was.
Feng Liao just wanted him to avoid it temporarily, not because he was not high enough, but because of his sensitive status as a descendant of a local family!
No matter who is in the heart, this sensitive mark on identity cannot be completely eliminated so quickly just because of the new policy of integrating native and foreign citizenship that has been implemented in the past three or four years.
