At the New Year's Eve banquet, Tang Shijin only showed his face and did not intend to stay longer. As soon as he came out, someone came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wang wants to see you."
Tang Shijin pondered for a moment and then passed.
When Wang Zhongyan saw her coming, he didn't say anything. He knelt down and kowtowed.
Tang Shijin pondered for a moment.
In fact, Wang Zhongyan's progress to this point was driven by her. If it weren't for her medicine, he would not have had such ambitions.
Tang Shijin said: "I will send the child and Madam to Zhongguo. You can write a letter to him."
Wang Zhongyan was overjoyed that there were still roots left, and he kowtowed deeply once again.
He didn't dare to ask her which child she was talking about, so he tremblingly took the handkerchief from his arms, bit his finger, and wrote a few words on the handkerchief. Wang Zhongyan could only roughly read a few words.
, written crookedly, Tang Shijin put it away, turned around and left.
In the evening, Yan Baiwei came over and said to her: "When the time is right, I will find a dead baby and replace the baby with you."
She asked him: "Is this move important to you?"
"It's not important," he still said in a relaxed tone: "At this point, no move is irreplaceable, so why should I kill another innocent child."
As the New Year approaches, the days go by faster.
Before February, Tang Shijin met Prince Jing, who had been guarding Duogan for many years.
He is the brother-in-law of Emperor Yuan Sheng, but he is actually two years younger than Emperor Yuan Sheng. He has a majestic appearance, an unsmiling look, and a very aura about him, the aura of a military general with the aura of killing.
The person who has been guarding a place like Duogan for many years should have been someone whom the king trusted greatly, but when he was replaced by Emperor Yuan Sheng, it seemed that Emperor Yuan Sheng had exiled this uncle to that place, regardless of whether he was there or not.
Q, he was never summoned on annual holidays or birthdays. If Yan Baiwei, the Zen Master, had not specially issued an order to summon him, he probably would not have come.
What can I say, as expected of him...he is really not afraid of him rebelling.
Huh? Why did she suddenly think of rebellion?
Probably because Prince Jing's momentum must have come from years of military training, but Duogan has been at peace for many, many years.
Tang Shijin was racing in his heart and received the gift very politely.
Then she said to him as if she was talking about her business: "I heard that the prince's residence has a large grassland and countless cattle and sheep. I wonder if the prince is interested in discussing business with me?"
Prince Jing opened his lips slightly and gave him a smile: "I'm going to see His Highness the Crown Prince. If you have something to do, can you wait until I come out?"
Tang Shijin then said: "Then please invite me first, I'm not in a hurry."
Prince Jing said: "I will pay you a visit later."
While the two were chatting, Yan Baiwei came out directly and said, "Then let's go directly to Prince Qing's Mansion."
Prince Jing glanced back and forth at the two of them and said, "I obey your order."
The three of them went to Prince Jing's Mansion.
After sitting down, Yan Baiwei asked some questions about state affairs as usual, and Prince Jing answered in a very step-by-step manner.
Then Tang Shijin followed and started asking him questions about wool.
When Tang Shijin talks about business, she is very deceptive or inflammatory. Basically, no one can be completely led by her to enter the prospect she mentioned. As long as he is not in a state of full alert, it will be exposed.
There will be a lot of things coming out.
Anyway, after Prince Jing left, the two of them basically understood everything.
Yan Baiwei said: "He really has a disobedient heart!"
Tang Shijin said: "It's not surprising that a foolish king like your father has a disobedient heart."
Yan Baiwei said: "Actually, I asked someone to check him out a long time ago. He is really training his troops every day. His soldiers are as good as his arms..."
Tang Shijin answered the question: "He knows the news in the capital very well. If he really plans to rebel, when something happens to Empress Wu or when something happens to the deposed prince, it will be a good time, but he did not move at any of them."
"No," Yan Baiwei said: "There is a huge variable like you here, so it is normal for him to have concerns. He may want to wait until the situation gets worse. So he missed the best opportunity."
Tang Shijin said: "So you came out of the blue and turned the tide... I don't think you need to be too nervous. This person, I feel, has a very high moral standard. He may have given up this idea."
"I'm just afraid of what might happen," Yan Baiwei said: "His misunderstanding means he doesn't know how many lives will be lost."
Tang Shijin said: "What should we do?"
Yan Baiwei said: "I'll talk to him again and test it out before talking."
He couldn't help complaining about his father: "I really don't know what the emperor was thinking. Just because he didn't want to see him, he sent a strong general to guard Duogan, and also sent his family members there just to pretend to be generous... I
I really don’t know what to say.”
Tang Shijin said quietly: "You are forcing you to rebel!"
Yan Baiwei was very angry at her: "Really. I'm afraid he won't rebel! But having said that... you are right. After all these years, under such circumstances, this person is still loyal. I think I can try
Trust him."
Tang Shijin said: "Is there any point in keeping a low profile and biding one's time? He didn't have any soldiers at that time, and the bare-bones general was so stupid. Didn't he just train his soldiers and you went out to pick peaches? He must hate you to death."
Yan Baiwei: "..."
He was angry and happy: "Where are you from?"
Tang Shijin said eloquently: "Didn't I help you take all situations into consideration?"
"Then I thank you." Yan Baiwei said with a smile, and then said: "It's best not to cause any trouble. It's best to transition smoothly."
He stood up and said, "I don't want to think about this anymore. I'll go over and see Tianbao."
He went over to see his son.
Tang Shijin stood up and asked someone to send Prince Jing some down jackets and jars of goose and duck meat.
Prince Jing accepted the things calmly.
Even in his own home, he and the people around him restrained their speech, but this in itself was very wrong behavior.
Prince Jing has three sons, all of whom are now in Duogan. He came back this time without bringing any of them.
This alone can prove that he is actually guarding against something.
At first, Zhao Kuangyin was able to release his military power over a glass of wine, mainly because of surprise, but now, it is obvious that he was well prepared. Even if he detains his father and sends troops regardless of his life, his son will be scolded to death, but what if... what if?
But what Yan Baiwei said is right, "Tang Shijin" is the biggest variable. If it were the previous Emperor Yuan Sheng, if he had raised the banner beside the Qing Emperor, killed the demon concubine Wan, etc., there might really be a gathering of followers.
, but now... Yan Baiwei's literary reputation is extremely prosperous, Tang Shijin is even regarded as a god, the golden dragon is born around the green clam, and the thunder from the sky strikes the monarch first, and the auspicious son from the sky is behind, it will be difficult for him to rebel again.
Disaster.
But I really don’t want to give up.
If we just give up, then what are the more than ten years of planning?
Prince Jing lay on the couch and could not fall asleep for a long time.
The next day, Yan Baiwei summoned Prince Jing again.
He asked him directly: "Do you believe Jin'er is a god?"
