Princess Yuanxiu

Chapter 151 The counselor

At this moment, He Zhifang is drinking tea in his study. His left hand sits a Xuanyi priest, with a handsome and elegant appearance. He is about 40 years old. He is sitting upright, holding a pigeon letter between his fingers, and his expression is muttering.

The right head is an old woman. Her bun is crooked, her face is full of folds, but she still has heavy makeup. Her slumped lips are dotted with delicate dewdrops, which is becoming more and more nondescript. The woman looked coldly at the counsellor opposite and asked impatiently for a long time, "Sun Lang has been looking at this for a long time. Isn't there a word?"

"Please don't worry. Chang'an's sudden occurrence of this matter is a little inexplicable. Chang Pu has been meditating for a long time, and it is also to be cautious." The superior's congratulatory side was calm and comforted.

Sun Changpu frowned, put down the pigeon letter, habitually restrained his sleeves, and said, "This matter should have nothing to do with the two Langjun."

"This is not necessarily." The flower woman seemed to like to argue with him. She sneered and said, "It's all right. Now he is fascinated by the noble lord of Chang'an, and he is full of satisfaction with the thoughts of the Lord. He will not be in the mood to do anything else. What's more, as soon as this matter happens, anyone will think about us. There are so many people in Chang'an City who are qualified to be the Lord. There are also many excellent Langjun in it. In Liulang's eyes, the appearance and temperament he like should have merits!" She first denied Sun Changpu's inference, but this helped He Yijian escape, but He Zhifang and Sun Changpu understood what she meant and frowned: "You mean... Dalang?"

He Zhifang frowned and said, "Although Dalang is not my own son, I raised him. Without my permission, he would not cause such a big thing in Chang'an and be involved in the clan!"

"Have you forgotten the handsome? What has been the most worrying thing about our dealings with Chang'an Pigeon during this period? Not long ago, didn't Jieshuai write a letter in person and asked Dalang to do it as soon as possible? The flower woman reminded.

What she said naturally refers to the relationship between He Yijian and Princess Yuanxiu, and the task was entrusted to He Huainian. In this way, He Zhifang and Sun Changpu were both stunned, and the latter immediately shook their heads: "Dalang is not a resourceful person. This matter is too much involved. Although Du Qingtang and the new emperor were at odds after Emperor Xianzong left, Chang'an is Chang'an after all. It is stable for our three towns to watch and help each other and occupy Hebei. If we are greedy, it is still less time. An can be arrogant, but he can't offend the bottom line of the ministers. At that time, Chang'an will force his face to ride a tiger and fight against us, which is by no means a good thing.

"As Jieshuai said, although Dalang is not the biological son of Jieshuai, he has also been raised by Jieshuai for many years, but he is actually more than ten years older than Liulang. Liulang was born. When he was still in his infacy, Dalang could ride a horse and draw a bow alone." Hua Po said leisurely, "Now, Dalang has defended Wei Bo. Although Liulang is both civil and martial arts, he is a little younger. Now there is no one else here, and I will also tell the truth - Jieshuai is not that he doesn't love Dalang, but only Liulang is the bloodline of the He family. Everyone in Weizhou knows this truth, and so is Hebei. In this world, there is absolutely no reason why there is no biological son who gives his foundation to outsiders. Is it right for Jie Shuai?

Sun Changpu's face changed, and He Zhifang smiled deeply, but his eyes were extremely gloomy: "So, does someone want to borrow me to separate from the two sons and do a plan to separate?"

He Zhifang didn't know how many folk prescriptions he had used because he had no children under his knees until he met the eldest son. Since he got He Yijian, he was afraid of melted in his mouth and held it in the palm of his hand. He really fell in his bones. For this reason, as long as it is good for He Yijian, He will do everything.

When he took He Huainian as his adopted son, he did not not know that he only had a parent and child. At that time, he was still young, but He Huainian was already 13 years old. When He Yijian was enlightened, He Huainian was enough to lead the army. Hebei three towns seem to be bright and free because they are not subject to Chang's temperance, but there is no freedom in the world that does not have to pay a price. The advantage of not being subject to Chang'an temperance is that they can be inherited from generation to generation like princes. The disadvantage is that when the successor's ability is not enough, they don't want Chang'an to preside over the so-called justice.

For the power struggle in the three towns of Hebei, Chang'an's interest is only to stir the water more in order to fish in the mixed water... The problem is that when He Yijian was born, Gao Shi and He Zhifang were old and lacked blood. He Yijian was born weaker than ordinary babies, although the long-born son deliberately stayed for him. Recuperation, but according to folk sayings, He Zhifang officially recognized He Huainian, who is said to be very helpful to the health of young children.

After that, He Yijian did become stronger. Whether it was the reason for the long-born son or He Huainian, He Yijian felt a sigh of relief.

This is also because the immortal son came to the door again and asked him to send He Yijian to Chang'an, he immediately made the decision to send He Huainian as an envoy to mourn Empress Dowager Zhaoxian - when He Yijian was not in Hebei, He Zhijian would never give He Huainian a chance to stay in Hebei! He did not worry that He Huainian and He Yijian would be unfavorable to the latter, because he even handed over his most trusted and closest guard Xiahou Fubai, plus Shi Ruyi, Miao Niang and others. If He Huainian could still do it in this way, he would have done it as early as Hebei.

He Huainian's identity was originally just an ordinary orphan in Weizhou. His parents died as early as he was a teenager. When he lived in poverty and illness, his birthday was taken into the towering and glorious governor's mansion and lived a life that he had never thought of before.

However, He Zhifang has changed from an ordinary inconspicuous son of the He family to be in charge of Weibo's five prefectures. At the beginning, Lian Xianzong emperor could only beat him. Now he dares to look handsome to the new king's face. He has a deep experience. The so-called rice to raise grace and hatred... What's more, at every level, desire. It's all different. How many people in the world are willing to succumb to others?

Of course, He Huainian may be an exception. Maybe he has already developed some idea in his mind, but in the same way, he is also very clear about his adoptive father He Zhifang's means and thoughts, so he will continue to do his defense history without absolute certainty.

If he is not interested, if Ren Qiu's case can't be handled well. I'm afraid it's just adding a thought to his heart...

He Zhifang narrowed his eyes, and the cold light surged in his deep and narrow eyes!

"The first dilemma in Ren Qiu's case is actually the royal family." Sun Changpu analyzed, "Ren Qiu is the private son of the king of Qi. The king of Qi now has only two sons. Although he has the princess's direct son, there are still not many children. What's more, the king of Qi did not let Ren Qiu follow the surname of Li. I'm afraid he was influenced by the princess. Since he was appointed as the mother of Qiu, he was raised in another courtyard together. In addition, on the day Meng Guangyi entered the palace, Yuan Xiu The princess and Princess Changyang went to Zichen Hall one after another, and at the same time, Princess Yang sent people out of the palace to inquire about the case... These are enough to prove that at least the king of Qi attaches great importance to this unnamed eldest son, including Princess Yang and Princess Changyang.

"Today, I agreed to King Qiong's request to return to Chang'an at the end of last year for the sake of Princess Jiacheng's monkhood. A few days ago, the pigeon letter said that the wedding date of Princess Changyang had been set, and today I personally issued a grand order to comfort my brothers and sisters." The flower woman sneered and said, "There is little rain in spring ploughing, and at the funeral of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, we all gave him a horse..."

Her words were interrupted by Sun Changpu: "Flower woman, this period of time to comfort the royal family, but not only for spring ploughing."

The flower woman glanced at him unhappily: "What do you mean by that?"

"The flower woman has forgotten that Du Jia Sanlang was recalled to Chang'an from Dengzhou at the beginning of the year. So far, she has not been summoned or assigned a new position. Now she has been idle at home. This Sanlang is from Du's long house. Sun Changpu said, "After the Dragon Boat Festival, there has been continuous rain in Guanzhong, and the spring drought has eased a lot. At this moment, I'm afraid I'm going to settle accounts with Du Qingtang!"

He Zhifang muttered, "Chang Pu, go on."

"Yes, handsome!" Sun Changpu arched his hand and frowned, "We all know that he was appointed as the crown prince today, just because he was the direct one. In fact, Emperor Xianzong later favored King Qiong, and Princess Qiong's mother was the daughter of the third wife of the Du family, and Du Qingtang grew up together! Because of this relationship, although Du Qingtang and King Qiong did not have the reputation of teachers and students, the former did teach the latter carefully for a period of time. In addition, after the death of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, she did not say anything today. He hated Du Qingtang so much in his heart, let alone did not get close to Du Qingtang. At that time, Emperor Xianzong trusted Du Qingtang very much, and Chang'an had The cadres thought that they had been in the limelight and supported King Qiong!"

"However, Emperor Xianzong hesitated for several years, and there was still no abandoned prince, so now the one sitting on the Zichen Hall is still the present. Although King Qiong also intended to compete for the throne with today, after Emperor Xianzong left, he saw the opportunity and immediately invited himself to Shannan Province to seal it and stay away from Chang'an. At this time, even if he is still not happy to see him today, but it has not been long since he ascended the throne. As long as King Qiong continues to be humble and small, if he is still aggressive today, he will inevitably be worried. Narrow name! Du Qingtang is also the same. Now that he ascended the throne, he resigned from his position and retired due to illness. Except for the Duke of the State of Xianzong before his death, he did not leave a position and retired simply! In recent years, the children of the Du family have been repeatedly suppressed. Now the Du family has been very low-key. After all, they are the Chang'an Wang clan. If they want to continue to investigate, the Du family can't retreat. If they really fight, other Guanzhong rich families will not feel cold - the most reliable and trusted Wei Zhao today is Wei in the south of the city. Du Zhong's Wei's origin! His cousin is still Du Qingtang's late sister-in-law!"

Speaking of this, Sun Changpu smiled meaningfully, "Today, his courage and shrewdness are not as smart as Emperor Xianzong. Emperor Xianzong also beat and pulled the vassal towns and rich families at the beginning... If there is no perfect excuse, there is absolutely no courage now!" He said this sentence neatly, but the flower woman stared at him fiercely.

When He Zhifang heard the words, he bowed his head and thought for a moment: "So Ren Qiu's case... Is it instructed today?" Sun Changpu's speculation is different from the conclusion of the flower woman. He has always relied on the wisdom of the two people. Now there is a difference between the two, and He Zhifang can't help hesitating.

"On the surface, unless Meng Guangyi can quickly cut the chaos and find out that the real murderer is Ren Qiu in just a few days, the most difficult thing is today! After all, covering up Ren Qiu, the royal reputation has been damaged, and even the three noble lords to be married are a little discredited! If you don't shield Ren Qiu, you will be separated from your brother and sister and offend your mother!" Sun Changpu said, "But Chang'an is not a small land in the same hometown. It is a first-class city in the Tang Dynasty. The people in the city live together, and there are many Hu people. Of course, the feet of the emperor are always more peaceful than other places, but it is also common for such a big city to have one or two murders every month. What's more, this case also happened in Pingkangfang, Qing Lou Goulan, laughing and saying that it is a hero's grave since ancient times, is the easiest to be jealous and cause trouble! Why did Ren Qiu's case rise up and fill Chang'an in such a short period of time?

"This case happened to fall into the hands of Meng Guangyi..." He Zhifang frowned, "However, if you want to calculate this, it is not difficult, because Meng Guangyi originally visited Chang'an County as usual that day."

Sun Changpu smiled and said, "Jeshuai, excuse Changpu's bluntly - Chang Pu has entered the curtain of the festival, and there are many private words that have collided with Jieshuai. So far, why?"

"Since you are invited to plan for He, you should speak freely and act freely." He Zhifang's knuckles tapped a few times and understood what he meant, "Yes, there was no support of Emperor Xianzong before, and there is no conniency in the future... No matter how hard Meng Guangyi's bones and how honest he is, no matter how honest he is, he can't protect him with a Nanyang Zhang family alone!"

"Jeshuai, although Ren Qiu's case will not be done by the two Langjuns, as long as the two Langjuns are in Chang'an for one day, I'm afraid this fire will burn on them sooner or later!" The flower woman was silent for a long time. Seeing that He Zhifang seemed to be about to accept Sun Changpu's point of view, she finally couldn't stand it and said, "After all, this case is now traced by Meng Guangyi and has been heard by heaven. For today, the best result of this case is naturally to get Hebei involved, which can not only save Ren Qiu, but also save the emperor. Family dignity can also naturally refuse to lower your lord... In addition, due to the frequent rainfall in Guanzhong after the Dragon Boat Festival, the spring drought is slow, and there is no need to worry about starvation during the autumn harvest, and the pressure in Chang'an is suddenly reduced. I'm afraid we will also plan to take back the arrogance of the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian's funeral ceremony!"

He Zhifang said slightly: "At that time, I told Dalang to be arrogant and rude when he came to Chang'an, just to test Jinshang. How could he know that Liulang, an unworthy son, actually looked down on his sister today! I also made up the idea of Shangzhu! Dalang was injured, and the original plan was all empty-hearted... Chang'an's unwillingness to lower the nobleman saved our hearts... Alas, I heard that the 17th Niang of the Li family also chased Chang'an, hoping that she could take the unworthy son away from Chang'an as much as possible!"
