Chuzhou Pavilion is located to the west of the Imperial City.
King Xin Yang Yuanyan naturally had a residence in Jinling, but King Xin Yang Yuanyan went to Chuzhou to serve as a defense envoy. Almost all the officials who stayed in King Xin's residence were people whose identities were more or less questionable.
Regardless of whether these people were spies planted by Anning Palace or not, Xin Wang Yang Yuanpu could not get rid of them openly. He could only concentrate them in Jinling and let them guard an empty house.
In addition to Chuzhou's affairs in Jinling, such as entering memorials, hearing news, exchanges of goods, and official receptions, the Chuzhou Jinzhou Hall is specifically responsible for it. Officials such as governors, chief ministers, etc. are all stationed in Jinling from Chuzhou.
After Wang Wenqian was assigned to the Chuzhou Pavilion, in addition to strengthening the purpose of spying on information, he also allowed business travelers to enter the Chuzhou Pavilion for food and accommodation. Even Chuzhou business travelers who had large sums of property were delivered to Chuzhou for fear of being robbed.
The Chuzhou Museum will issue receipts and collect books, and then return to Chuzhou to cash in money and goods by collecting the books.
This move not only created an additional channel for Chuzhou to gather wealth, but also strengthened the exchange of goods between Chuzhou and Jinling, resulting in a surge in Chuzhou's commercial tax revenue.
Wang Wenqian returned to Chuzhou's backyard in a carriage and walked down with a gloomy expression.
"Miss came back early, and she seems to have tears. What happened at the Linjiang Marquis Mansion?" Yin Peng, the governor of Chuzhou Pavilion, walked down the corridor and asked in a low voice.
Yin Peng, the governor of Chuzhou Hall, was originally a son of the Wang family. He followed Wang Jixiong and Wang Wenqian's father and left the country after serving in the army. Later, it was recommended by Wang Wenqian that he gained the king's trust and was able to go to Jinling to preside over Chuzhou Jinzou.
In terms of spying on information and other matters, it seems that his rank is not high at this time, but he is the most core figure placed by Chuzhou in Jinling.
"Send people out of the city immediately and evacuate all the spies stationed outside Taowuji!" Wang Wenqian said to Yin Peng.
"My father was wrong about Han Daoxun," Wang Wenqian looked up at the dark night sky and said, "Han Daoxun is most likely the biggest plotter hidden around the third prince!"
"..." Yin Peng was startled for a moment, and his expression became more sinister, and he said, "Your Excellency, if you can confirm this, many things will suddenly become clear - Han Daoxun made a noise in the court meeting to remonstrate the hungry people, it was for the sake of the third prince.
Mou Longque Army, otherwise how could the front and rear be so neatly connected? As for the official recommendation of Han Daoxun to be sent to Xuzhou, Marquis Xinchang also secretly contributed to the situation. It is a pity that the Anning Palace was completely kept in the dark - Sir
I still have some doubts. What happened at the banquet? Can you please confirm this?"
"Han Daoxun's little brat was afraid that I would spoil his big business, so he bared his teeth and claws at me today!" Wang Wenqian said.
"What's wrong?" Yin Peng didn't know what happened in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, and the guards who escorted Wang Jun back first had no chance to see the young lady being humiliated.
Wang Wenqian did not hide anything from Yin Peng and told him what happened today. This would also help Yin Peng further understand the intricate situation in Jinling City.
"The next step for the third prince is to plot to seize Jingxiang?" Yin Peng asked.
"They must have this plan, but Zhao Mingting is careful, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!" Wang Wenqian said, "You should arrange for our people to evacuate first!"
"Yes!" Yin Peng nodded and immediately went to make arrangements without hesitation.
Wang Wenqian opened the door and returned to his room. He saw Wang Jun standing in the main room and asked, "Did you hear what I said just now?"
"According to my father's opinion, when Uncle Han wrote the letter to break off the engagement, he should have made up his mind to join the third prince. However, regardless of the accumulated record of what Uncle Han did while serving in Chuzhou and Jinling, even if he wanted to
Why did Uncle Han choose the least promising third prince among the powerful and powerful people competing for fame and wealth?" Wang Jun asked doubtfully.
"Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people," Wang Wenqian sighed slightly and said, "Han Daoxun has some unrealistic ambitions. Perhaps he feels that it is possible to realize them only by supporting a puppet who can be controlled by him to ascend the throne!
It is really a blessing that you and Han Qian have broken off your engagement."
Wang Wenqian was just about to ask Wang Jun to rest first, when Yin Peng knocked on the door again and came in. He handed over a bronze waist badge with dragon and bird patterns and said, "There is a beggar outside the door who wants to see you!"
"Hmph, he has the guts to come here!" Although Wang Wenqian decided not to interfere with the affairs of the Third Prince and Anning Palace this time, he was actually threatened when he was humiliated in public today. He also had a lot of resentment in his heart. He did not expect that Han Qian would dare to come alone.
See, "Bring him in!"
The night itself is the best cover. Han Qian did not cover his cheeks with soft wax this time. Under the guidance of Yin Peng, he walked into the backyard hall of Chuzhou Pavilion.
"My nephew has met Mr. Wang." Han Qian saw a graceful figure reflected on the screen except for Yin Peng, the governor of Chuzhou Pavilion. It must be Wang Wenqian's daughter Wang Jun standing behind the screen and saluting Wang Wenqian.
"I've already had people pull out the eyeliners around Taowuji. What do you mean by coming here now?" Wang Wenqian's sharp eyes stared at the smelly and tattered clothes, but there was nothing unnatural in front of him.
Han Qian asked.
Han Qiancai did not believe that Wang Wenqian would give up his hostility to them easily. Even if he was forced to withdraw his troops from Taowuji this time and not ruin his father's official appointment in Xuzhou, there was no guarantee that Wang Wenqian would not hold a grudge when he returned to Chuzhou.
What kind of tricks are you going to do?
Their foundation is too weak. It has attracted Zhao Mingting's attention at this time. It will be fully exposed in a few days. In the future, they will have to do their best to deal with An Ning Palace and the Prince's family. If Chuzhou doesn't know the importance anymore,
Han Qian would also feel out of breath when doing evil things in secret.
He must come and have a chat with Wang Wenqian before he leaves Jinling.
Han Qian's eyes fell on the sandalwood desk in front of him. There was a delicately decorated bracelet resting on the corner of the table. Wang Jun must have forgotten to put it away in a hurry. He glanced at the figure behind the screen and said to Wang Wenqian:
"I'm here to tell Mr. Wang that your understanding of Anning Palace is too shallow!"
Yin Peng was sitting submissively next to Wang Wenqian, not wanting to directly intervene in the conversation between Han Qian and Wang Wenqian, but at this time his eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at Han Qian.
If Han Qian was representing the third prince, he would be qualified to sit across from Wang Wenqian and speak, but his arrogant and lecturing tone was too ignorant.
"Your Majesty is getting older, and the prince likes to take elixirs, which are not good for longevity. When the time comes, inside the Palace of Anning and Commander Xu outside, Chu will inevitably be bloody and in disarray. The country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. No one will be able to stay.
Office."
Wang Wenqian is a smart man, and Han Qian knows that he must speak harshly, and there is no need to hesitate and make any detours.
Wang Wenqian did not expect that Han Qian would dare to say this or be so unscrupulous. He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Han Qian, and asked: "According to what you said, isn't Chuzhou a good choice?"
"Even if we want to help Chuzhou, we must be qualified to help, right?" Han Qian asked rhetorically.
Wang Wenqian pondered for a while. Although Han Qian was very confusing, he could not be fooled by Han Qian in the end. He smiled contemptuously and said, "If this is Master Han, he may be qualified to say this."
Faced with Wang Wenqian's contempt and disdain, Han Qian didn't feel any surprise. After all, no one would think that "Epidemic Water Shure" was actually written by him, or Wang Wenqian believed from the bottom of his heart that his father was the most treacherous person with ulterior motives.
You villain, but when he came to see Wang Wenqian at this time, he didn't think about how much Wang Wenqian would pay attention to him in the future. It was enough to just put some words in place.
"The Third Highness has been struggling under the shadow of Anning Palace for a long time. He dares not hesitate even when he leaves the palace. This is not something that can be controlled by a caring person - regardless of whether I am qualified or not, I hope Mr. Wang can understand this."
Han Qianshi stood up, said nothing, just opened the door and stretched out his hand towards Yin Peng.
Yin Peng laughed angrily, returned the dragon-queen pattern military attache badge to Han Qian, and signaled the guards outside the door to retreat into the shadows.
"You're not old, but you're full of energy!" Yin Peng said with a disdainful smile as he saw Han Qian walking out of the backyard and disappearing into the night in the back alley.
Wang Wenqian smiled disapprovingly and said: "No matter how much he pretends, since he has passed the message over, we still have to listen."
Seeing that Wang Wenqian also thought that Han Qian was here just to convey messages, Yin Peng also nodded in agreement.
He even thought that it was Han Daoxun who was unwilling to show his face at the critical moment of being an official in Xuzhou and failed, so he asked his son to come over at night to negotiate and negotiate with his relatives Xu family, Anning Palace and the prince's faction in the future.
Stay consistent when in power.
"However, his momentum is really no weaker than that of dad!"
Wang Wenqian turned around and saw his daughter Wang Jun staring at the night in the back alley in a daze. He said, "It's really not easy to walk in alone." He then told Yin Peng, "Han Daoxun went to serve in Xuzhou, but he must keep
Your influence on the third prince will most likely keep his son in Aurous Hill, so you must be careful when dealing with this son."
"How much can you listen to his words?" Yin Peng asked.
"We'll just wait and see what happens." After Wang Wenqian said this, he couldn't help but sigh again and cast his gaze towards the deep and blue night sky.
Yin Peng was slightly startled. Seeing Wang Wenqian's reaction, he guessed that something Han Qian said must have touched Wang Wenqian.
Seeing that Wang Wenqian had no intention of elaborating, Yin Peng excused himself and left.
"Dad said that Zhao Mingting and others are ruthless in their methods, and also said that His Majesty is old." Wang Jun raised his head, looked at Wang Wenqian and said, "It must be Han Qian who said that the prince is not destined to live a long life, and he must have touched dad."
"You are so smart, it will be difficult to find a mother-in-law in the future!" Wang Wenqian said with a smile.
"Bah, bah, bah, how can any father say that about his daughter?" Wang Jun said angrily, but he had forgotten that Han Qian made him cry today.
Wang Wenqian smiled slightly and asked Wang Jun to go back to his room to rest first. He sat in front of the desk and thought carefully about many things Han Qian said.
He had considered that Emperor Tianyou was already old, and was on guard against the possibility that Emperor Tianyou would die at any time.
However, in his opinion, if the prince continues to play too much, he may further strengthen the power of his maternal relative, the Xu family, after ascending the throne. However, after all, the prince followed Emperor Tianyou to create the great Chu empire, and deep down, it is impossible for him to treat his maternal relative, the Xu family.
No defense at all.
Therefore, Wang Wenqian does not think that if His Majesty dies one day, the situation will deteriorate beyond control.
Just as his daughter Wang Jun said, Han Qian's statement today about the prince's death really touched him. He really didn't consider how bad the situation would be if both his majesty and the prince died one after another.
Although the grandson is extremely intelligent and has extraordinary knowledge since he was a child, many courtiers think that the prince is disdainful and that the grandson is a good thing, but after all, the grandson is only less than ten years old.
If the prince dies before the grandson comes of age, won't the whole state of Chu fall into the hands of his relatives, the Xu family and the Anning Palace?
