Zhang Zhenren thought for a while and then said in a low voice: "Master Hong trusts you and that's why he asked you to speak. You must be worried about Marquis Guangping!"
Song Chengxuan said: "There is nothing to worry about. The Marquis of Guangping is extremely ill. After this battle, he will definitely be buried in horse leather. The court ordered him to return to the northwest, but he brought Mrs. Zhao to the capital. He has a mother and children as hostages. Guangping
What can Hou do? Master Hong is worried that Guangping Hou's body will not be able to stabilize the northwest.
Even if the war situation in the northwest can be stabilized, after the death of Marquis Guangping, who will the northwest be handed over to?
Mr. Hong does not want the northwest to fall into the hands of the Zhang family, so this time while Marquis Guangping is in the capital, he wants Marquis Guangping to persuade Marquis Anyi to unite his troops."
Otherwise, why would the Ministry of War drag An Yihou to inquire about the northwest war situation?
Zhang Zhenren said: "If Marquis An Yi agrees, won't he benefit from it? But if Marquis An Yi doesn't take over the northwest, does it mean that he really has no intention of courting the court these years?"
Song Chengxuan's face was calm, but his eyes looked deeper.
An Yihou was mentioned again and again. This was not part of his plan. What he wanted was never to kill someone to vent his anger but to control the overall situation. His father lived in hiding and could not escape.
Once you die, only being truly powerful can make you invincible.
Without the instructions of the late emperor, they would not have been killed. Therefore, only if he truly gained enough authority and overcame the throne, would everything be reversed and he would no longer be a slave to the throne.
He has been doing this all these years in the Southeast.
As for An Yihou...
Whether he is the An Yihou who drinks tea and plays chess with his father, and occasionally gives him some pointers, or the An Yihou who invites his father out of the mountain with sincerity, then turns his face and leads troops to kill them, he will not go out of his way to deal with it now
, don’t even want to mention it.
He will not let those grudges and hatreds become a stumbling block for him.
Although I have thought about it very clearly.
But at some point, it started to deviate from what he expected.
He knew that he shouldn't have too many entanglements with people and events back then, because it was very likely that someone would accidentally discover his true identity, and what would happen would be catastrophic.
The manpower and family business he finally cultivated in the southeast will be destroyed in one day, his efforts will be in vain, and he will return to that night thirteen years ago.
When facing life and death, all abandonment will become a matter of course.
He will not resent those who stood by and watched. Everyone has the right to live.
But he would not trust these people with their lives, let alone treat them sincerely.
That night, for what reason, he said such words in front of Xu Qinghuan.
Is it possible that he expects her to join forces with him after knowing the truth?
She is smart and decisive in doing things, but she is also calmer. She should know better than her father in making choices. Maybe she will take credit for his head if she turns around.
"Sir," Zhang Zhenren said, "do you want to test An Yihou? If An Yihou does not take the opportunity to seize military power, it means he really has no interest in the court. Maybe he did not kill the prince to gain credit for his official career."
Is the young master preparing to find a reason to reduce his hatred towards Marquis An Yi?
The more he was abandoned by those close to him, the sadder he felt. When Prince Wei lived in seclusion, he almost cut off all contact with the people in the court. Only Marquis An Yi often came in and out of the palace.
If the late emperor wants to kill the king of Wei, anyone can protect himself wisely. Naturally, Marquis An Yi can also choose to watch with cold eyes.
But at least he did not lead the troops to kill himself. After this incident, the late emperor greatly praised Anyihou, saying that he was indeed a loyal and righteous man and had eliminated the troubles for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Maybe there is some hidden secret that they don't know about, but it's not easy to find a reason to laugh away the grudges.
"Sir, everything is packed." Yong Ye came in to report.
Zhang Zhenren said: "Sir, please go back to Quanzhou first, and leave the affairs here to me."
The clues revealed in Mr. Sun Er's case all point to Queen Wei's descendants. Whether someone wants to use King Wei's case to kill people, or targets the young master secretly, it is safer for the young master to leave than to be in the capital.
After returning to Quanzhou, even if the imperial court takes any action, they still have the power to fight. They must be careful not to give any chance to the people hiding in the secret.
Song Chengxuan stood up and walked to the courtyard. As long as he nodded, they would be able to leave here soon. When they entered Beijing again, he would already have the strength to deal with those people.
Even if he felt that someone was targeting him behind Master Sun's case, it would be more convenient for him to investigate the case in secret.
Looking at it this way, leaving is indeed the best choice.
Song Chengxuan said: "I'll go to the official office. You guys pack your things and we'll set off in the next two days."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Song Chengxuan went out, Master Zhang patted Yongye on the shoulder: "Does Taoist predict things like gods? He is really a living god in the world."
Song Chengxuan went all the way to the Ministry of Personnel to get the documents. For him, the matter in Beijing was over.
After boarding the teahouse, Song Chengxuan drank tea and looked out the window.
He happened to see two horses passing by, and he happened to know both of them.
Li Xu and Zhou Yue.
The two men went to investigate an old case that Wang Yun had handled, and now they rushed all the way back. They thought they had found the result and were eager to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for verification. Li Xu was a smart man, and he made this move accurately and steadily.
Wang Yun was imprisoned, and the Ministry of Punishment wanted to collect evidence to convict him. Li Xu's approach would undoubtedly arouse the favor of the Ministry of Punishment. In addition, he had rescued Su Huai before, Su Huai would definitely recommend him to become an official, and he could easily be promoted to the Sixth Ministry of Justice.
Find a job within.
Song Chengxuan is thinking.
There was a sound of voices coming from the side.
"I'm telling you, what's the use of regretting it now? I've advised you a long time ago. What a good marriage. If you don't do it, someone will get ahead of you. In the future, it won't be too late for you to regret it. As expected, I expected it, good girl.
It’s all a request from thousands of families, and we’ve already made an engagement, so what’s the use of you crying anymore.”
"Please go for another trip, I...I really...didn't expect it."
"If I had known it would happen today, why would I do it in the first place? I couldn't let go of my face before, but now it's useless to kneel in front of others and beg."
"Go ahead and talk about it again. No matter if it works or not this time, I won't bother you again."
"I'm a matchmaker, not a bride-snatcher. I advise you to take it easy. Next time I meet someone better, I'll let you know. Alas..."
The man cried and refused to answer, and the two of them had an argument, but the matchmaker had no choice but to agree.
It was finally quiet next to him, and Song Chengxuan was about to get up and leave.
"Hey, what a coincidence, this is not Mr. Song."
As soon as Zhou Yue went upstairs, she saw Song Chengxuan.
"Master Song." Li Xu also raised his head when he heard Zhou Yue's voice.
Behind Li Xu are Li Changyan and Xu Changting.
Song Chengxuan looked at Li Xu, wondering why the man who had just hurried to the Ministry of Punishment was drinking tea in the teahouse now.
"Master Song, this is the younger brother of Lord Anyi, and Master Xu Wu, this is my father." Li Xu introduced him familiarly.
Song Chengxuan nodded, said hello, and was about to leave.
But Li Xu took a step forward: "Sir Song, I just happened to meet you, why don't we find a place to say a few words."
