After seeing off Fu Mo and the accompanying sons of the Fu family, Han Daoming personally helped the old man back to Mingjutang and called the other concubines to come out. The nephews, servants and maids of the servants all left the courtyard first, leaving only the second brother Han Daochang and Han Jun. Han Duan was talking in the hall.
"No one in our house was involved in those messy things in Guangde House, right?" Han Daoming asked Han Daochang with a solemn expression.
He is more or less familiar with what happened in Guangde Mansion, and he rarely cares about family property and private business. The second child is responsible for many of these things. This has been a habit he has maintained for more than 20 years. , now worried that there might be something missing, he naturally stared at the second child and asked.
"How could it be? No one in our house would get involved in these things no matter how blind they are," Han Daochang shook his head and said, but seeing Han Daoming's expression was particularly solemn, he emphasized with a firm tone, "I specially asked the people below to do the work this afternoon. Someone came over and asked, and it is true that no one in Guangde Mansion was messing around, but Chuzhou, Tangyi, and Nanqiao occupied a lot of land. Some of the people were in Tangyi, and some of them fled to Chuzhou. Now they are all I don’t know the situation yet.”
To be honest, Han Qian originally gave away nearly 200,000 acres of the Han family's land and property in Xuanshe and other places to make up for the loss of land by the rural gentry who fled Langxi, Guangde, and Anji counties. Han Daochang's heart was dripping with blood. After the assassination, when the rural gentry who had obviously been compensated rushed back to Langxi, Guangde, and Anji to seize the fields and houses, Han Daochang had not thought of taking back the fields and houses that Han Qian had defeated.
On the one hand, it was the old man who took the initiative to allocate this part of the land and house to Lao San's house. On the other hand, it was Han Qian's many past actions that made Han Daochang deeply afraid and did not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to wipe his butt at this time.
After receiving such an affirmative answer from his second son, Han Daoming saw that his father was still squinting his eyes and looking sleepy. He stroked his long beard and said, "As long as you don't get involved in Guangde Mansion's affairs, it will be fine. If there is someone else If they don't understand the rules and get involved blindly, we know better than to cover them up and ask them to surrender themselves to the Yamen. In Chuzhou and Tangyi, it would be best if the people in Chuzhou and Tangyi can withdraw, and don't get involved in other matters for the time being..."
"Ahem..." When Han Wenhuan heard this, he coughed, moved his body, and knocked the crutch next to the armrest to the ground.
No one else reacted. Han Daoming leaned over, picked up the crutch, put it next to his father, and said in a low voice: "It has only been half a month since the news that the main force of the navy was destroyed in Hongzepu reached Jinling. Logically speaking, even if the Queen Mother issued the edict at that time, Xuzhou Water Camp should not have arrived so quickly..."
Eight hundred miles expedited is just a theoretical value.
The distance from Jinling to Xuzhou is 23400 miles, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous. The speed of sending messages is naturally far different from that in plain areas. No matter how fast it is, it will take eight or nine days to send the message to Xuzhou.
In addition, taking into account the time it took Han Qian to gather troops, combat supplies and war equipment in Xuzhou, and then take the waterway down the river, it would take about twenty days to reach the gate of Jinling City.
In other words, strictly based on time calculation, the Queen Mother's edict should have been issued when the main force of the navy came north from Hangou, and it was barely enough time.
"You mean, when the main force of the Navy went north, the Queen Mother had already expected this defeat?" Han Wenhuan opened his dim eyes and asked, "Even so, what's the problem? Prime Minister Shen Didn't Mr. Yang and Mr. Yang strongly oppose the navy's attack on Hongzepu for a long time? I'm a little confused, but I still remember that the night when Mr. Yang came to find you, Chengmeng of your family happened to return to the house, right? "
"The defeated soldiers who fled south said that Wen Ruilin and Emperor Liang's bodyguards and cavalry were all present in Zhongli at that time. It's somewhat unclear, and there's something subtle about it," Han Daoming said in a low voice, "When we attacked Tanzhou,
, Wen Ruilin should be the first to fall into Han Qian's hands, right? And with Wang Lin's past experience, it seems difficult for Han Qian to say that he was also confused by Wen Ruilin? "
Hearing what Han Daoming said, Han Daochang, Han Duan and others sat upright in fear.
They are still immersed in the huge shock of Han Qian leading the Xuzhou Water Camp back to Jinling, and their minds have not been able to settle down a little. How could they think of such in-depth details in such a short time?
"You are all blind, why can't Han Qian be blind? Besides, you all want to set Guangde Mansion on fire. Even if Han Qian knew that Wen Ruilin had a problem, what he said
, who of you will believe that he can stop you from throwing the Dachu navy into Hongzepu to die?" Han Wenhuan snatched the crutch from Han Daoming's hand, and walked out tremblingly on crutches, Han Duan, Han Jun
I went over to help him, but he pushed me away angrily.

Watching the old man walk out of Mingjutang, it took Han Daochang a while to come back to his senses and asked Han Daoming: "What exactly does Han Qian want to do?"
Han Jun and Han Duan sat there helplessly. This was the question they wanted to ask at this moment.
"Who can know what he is really thinking in his heart all these years?" Han Daoming sat there in despair and said, "One thing is for sure, Han Qian will not return to Xuzhou easily this time."
Although he, Han Daoming, also had the merit of following the dragon, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he knew that the situation of his Han family was extremely delicate.
In the past, Han Qian was far away in Xuzhou. He thought that as long as he was careful enough, he could still cope with the ever-changing situation and not make a wrong move and become the target of public criticism. But now the situation has become more weird, complicated, and turbulent, and he
I feel somewhat overwhelmed.
In less than two days since he learned the news about Xuzhou Shuiying's eastward march yesterday, Han Daoming felt that he was already so old that he was exhausted both physically and mentally and that his energy was hard to save.
If there were no old things, and there wouldn't be so many twists and turns of grievances within the Han family, and he was in charge of the government while Han Qian was in charge of the military outside, the situation couldn't be simpler.
The complexity lies in the fact that outsiders will never believe that they have broken off their friendship with Han Qian and Xuzhou long ago, but they don't know when Han Qian will remember his old grudges and suddenly stab them to death.
He was in so much pain that he was bleeding profusely.
"If Han Qian can regain the Queen Mother's appointment, let's make a statement first. The old things may not be so important anymore..." Han Duan said with a guilty conscience.
Han Duan's meaning was very clear. They had been sorry for Han Qian in many places before, but if Han Qian was really ambitious, he should see the huge benefits that the Han family could bring him, instead of focusing on the past festivals.
.
Since Han Qian was able to make peace with the Queen Mother and King Xin again, Han Duan felt that if they took a stand first, there might not be room for easing things.
"How should we express our sincerity?" Han Jun asked eagerly.
Han Daoming glanced at his legitimate son in confusion and thought to himself, if there are any knots in Han Qian's heart towards the Han family that he cannot resolve, one is the death of the third child, and the other is that the beautiful maid he loved when he was a boy was occupied by Jun'er.
The third one may be the one who gets the head of the third child. Why would Jun'er expect more room for relaxation with Han Qian?
Han Daoming didn't know how much suffering and fear Han Jun had been living in the past few months.
Especially when he saw Emperor Yanyou becoming more powerful, Han Jun became more frightened.
He knew that once the scandal was exposed, the Queen Mother might be imprisoned in the palace, and her life would be in danger, but Yang Yuanpu would never allow him to live, and he might even kill the entire Han family based on any crime.
.
If you don't know the fear in Han Jun's heart before, you can't understand how ecstatic he was when he heard the news that Han Qian followed the Queen Mother's orders to march eastward, and that Li Zhigao followed the Queen Mother's orders to withdraw his troops from Chaozhou.
Regardless of the old grudges with Han Qian, the fact that the Queen Mother has returned to power, and may even step forward to intervene in government affairs at any time, it is determined that he no longer has to sleep and eat uneasily worrying about the loss of his head.
The pride in his heart had long been destroyed by the fear of death. Compared with the loss of his head, bowing his head and admitting his mistake meant nothing.
If Han Qian wanted to dominate the country, he would never be able to kill all the Han family. He might need the help of the Han family, and he might be able to return to serve the Queen Mother.
Thinking of the Queen Mother's ecstatic body, which was as greasy as jade as snow, Han Jun couldn't help but feel waves of heat in his lower abdomen.
Seeing that Han Jun advocated bowing his head to Han Qian, Han Daochang said: "How about I go find Feng Liao and Guo Rong and go to Tangyi with them?"
Now that the court has not made a final decision on Han Qian's memorial, he rushed to Tangyi as an attitude. The key is that he crossed the river to Tangyi on behalf of the Han family and met Han Qian. No one else can say anything, even
If you don't send someone there, someone will make irresponsible remarks.
Han Daoming pondered for a while and said: "Perhaps we can ask Zhiyong to find his wife and the others to go to Tangyi first."
Chen Zhiyong is Han Daoming's second son-in-law. He, Qiao Weiyan, and concubines Han Chengmeng and Han Jianji did not receive much attention and importance in the Han family in the early years, so there was no conflict with Han Qian. Even after the Jingxiang War, Han Chengmeng and others
He worked in Shaozhou and other places, and his relationship with Han Qian and Xuzhou was relatively harmonious.
At present, Han Chengmeng and Qiao Weiyan are both working in Beijing, but Chen Zhiyong is doing idle work in Beijing and is quite free and easy. Han Daoming is thinking of asking his second son-in-law to go to Tangyi to meet Han Qian, so that he will not attract so much attention.
Secondly, Han Qian should not avoid seeing people, or drive them back directly...
