In Jiangnan, Zhong Qianzhi was in the bedroom, talking with his son about this time. Zhong Qianzhi took charge of this matter himself. No one among his brothers or sons knew the news. This news was sudden not only to King Zhao, but also to the people of the Zhong family.
"Dad, will the Emperor allow you to retire and return home?" The eldest son of the Zhong family is the only one who knows the inside story. So, a little anxious.
Zhong Qianzhi did not sit there quietly. After a long time, he said, "Yes. After such a long time, the Emperor's letter has not arrived yet, which means that the successor is already being selected. Therefore, this letter will definitely be Yes. This time, it¡¯s your sister¡¯s fault. If I didn¡¯t know that Wen Wan was Jiang Shouwang, I wouldn¡¯t have dared to take such a risky move. Without your sister¡¯s last words, I wouldn¡¯t have dared to risk my life. Road. But now, King Zhao has no hope."
Uncle Zhong asked uneasily, "Dad, but now, Princess Wenwan is in danger, and her narcolepsy cannot be saved. Princess Wenwan can't delay her for long."
Zhong Qianzhi shook his head, "Whether Princess Wenwan dies or not, the situation has been decided. If Princess Wenwan escapes this disaster this time, Princess Wenwan will definitely take revenge. And if Princess Wenwan dies, the grief in the emperor's heart will not be relieved. This This feeling of longing will definitely be transferred to Prince Zheng. Regardless of his position, I have to admit that Prince Zheng is actually the most suitable prince. If the emperor is right this time, it will be Prince Zheng who shows his preference. To clear the way for the successor, the Emperor will not fail to seize this opportunity."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhong became even more worried, "Dad, if Prince Zheng is really appointed as the crown prince, the day when Prince Zheng ascends the throne will be the time of great disaster for my Zhong family. Dad, there really is no way to have the best of both worlds." Are you done? "The Zhong family must not do anything to seek refuge with Prince Zheng. In the officialdom, the most despised people are the grassroots.
Zhong Qianzhi shook his head, "Your sister's ability to leave that letter has saved the entire Zhong family. Although we are the help of King Zhao. Although the people of the Zhong family are a big help to King Zhao, the people of the Zhong family have not directly interacted with Zheng Zhong. The king is an enemy. My father has been in Jiangnan and has not directly intervened in the fight between the two. It is because the emperor is well aware of this that he can tolerate me in this position today. Even if King Zheng ascends the throne, he will not be wiped out. After ten or eight years of silence, the emperor's children will be able to re-enter the imperial examination and revitalize the family. "
Mr. Zhong was still very worried, "Father, even so, I can't rest assured about Prince Zheng's son. Do you think you can send Zhe'er and a few of them away to the coastal area for shelter? Although the countryside is a little harder. But it's always for the sake of peace." The Zhong family left some roots. "The new emperor ascended the throne and liquidated the previous opponents. How many people were buried in the torrent of history. Just in case, you can save some money.
Zhong Qianzhi shook his head, "Don't worry, although King Zheng is tyrannical, as long as we know each other, we don't have any deep hatred for him. We don't have any direct conflict with him. If the Zhong family is really implicated in the future, we will liquidate it but we won't kill them all. Dad and Su Xiang still have Two-part friendship is really a disaster. When the time comes, my father will give up this old face, and the children in the family will be saved. Now, it is not King Zheng who has forced my daughter to death. He also wants our Zhong family to work for him, he has a good plan. "
The elder still didn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Dad, does King Zhao have no chance of winning?¡±
Zhong Qianzhi said decisively, "No, if before, there was still five points of hope. With the fall of the Jiang family, there is no hope. The fall of the Jiang family should be the handiwork of Princess Wenwan. Princess Wenwan can show her strength at a young age Winning the Master of the Sea shows that she is very thoughtful and careful in dealing with the Jiang family. This is indeed the case. Princess Wenwan may not be able to escape this disaster this time as she quietly eliminated the two major helpers of Prince Zhao. . But she will definitely not let King Zhao and Concubine Xian go so easily."
The elder was silent. He was just a little unwilling.
Mrs. Zhong naturally saw the unwillingness in the eldest son's eyes: "Do you know why your sister killed King Zhao's three sons?"
The elder shook his head, expressing that he did not understand.
Mr. Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Your sister is 100% sure that King Zhao has no chance of winning. She wants her father to sink his boat. Your sister killed three of King Zhao's sons. Think about it, King Zhao really ascended the throne. Our Zhong family Is there any way to survive?¡±
The elder took a breath of air.
Zhong Qianzhi nodded: "Your sister is asking dad to give up his last hope. Let the Zhong family go that way." His daughter, when she was dying, was still thinking about the Zhong family. Over the years, I have suffered so many grievances in the palace. It's a pity that if I had known it earlier, I would have tried my best to disobey the will and not let her marry King Zhao. Nor would he let his daughter die young. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
King Zheng was upstairs, watching more and more people enter the house. complexionOf course. Today is the first day of the auction.
Below, the masters and gentlemen in gorgeous clothes took the posts and handed them to the guards guarding the door. After checking, check to see if there is a murder weapon. Only after the check is clear, you are allowed to enter.
The auction will last three days. On this day, King Zheng was worried and anxious, and the Wai family spent their time in worry. On the first day, 670,000 taels of silver were auctioned. As soon as he was done, he returned to the palace.
Prince Zheng returned to the palace, looked at Wen Wan who was still sleeping, and touched his face, which was as smooth as his own: "Wen Wan, wake up quickly, don't sleep. Uncle will take you to play." In response to him , still with a gentle frown on his face.
King Zheng touched Wen Wan's head. He was still worried and kept talking to him. Said a lot. There are many words that he hides in his heart but does not say.
The hottest part of the auction is on the third day, with shops, real estate and other highlights all happening on the third day. After all the auctions were completed, after a quick calculation, almost three million taels of silver were sold. The Jiang family was defeated and the national treasury was filled.
After receiving this large sum of money, the emperor did not smile, and Prince Zheng did not smile at all. The immediate boss is in a bad mood, and the people below are also looking sad.
Because of this windfall, the court can be fully prepared for the upcoming battle.
Bai Shinian was excited and inspired after receiving the emperor's secret order. After waiting for a year, the wait is finally here. The imperial court can provide sufficient backup, and they will have no future troubles. He has 90% confidence in this battle.
Zhang Yi knew the imperial court's intention and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the emperor would actually attack the Jiang family. With this windfall, we no longer have any worries. This time we will kill the Japanese pirates without leaving a trace behind."
Bai Shinian listened to Zhang Yi's words, but said nothing.
Zhang Yi asked strangely: "What's wrong? This is good news, why are you unhappy? Did something happen to your family again?"
Bai Shinian frowned and was worried, "There is news from the capital that Princess Wenwan has a rare disease and is about to die."
Zhang Yi doesn¡¯t feel much about this: ¡°Children from wealthy families are overly pampered and are prone to die young. It¡¯s not a strange thing, it¡¯s just a pity.¡±
Bai Shinian tilted his head: "Zhang Yi, I got the news. The military expenses for establishing the Huwei Army last year did not come from the treasury. According to the information, it came from the emperor's inner treasury. If I guessed correctly, this There should be Princess Wenwan in the background. The Jiang family's downfall this time has solved our worries by raising this large amount of money, and Princess Wenwan is also there. "
Zhang Yi groaned and said cautiously: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Bai Shinian did not reply to his words: "Three years ago, the imperial court allocated a special fund. Zhang Yi, think about what happened three years ago. We were able to achieve today's results, indirectly, with the help of Princess Wenwan. "
Zhang Yi then remembered that Princess Wen Wan donated her wealth three years ago. I heard that that year, the imperial court raised a large amount of money for charity. That year, all the equipment was completely new. "If that's true, it would be a pity. No, didn't you say that Princess Wenwan is so smart that she won't participate in the political affairs of the court? Why is there her shadow everywhere?" Why does it seem like Princess Wenwan is everywhere!
Bai Shinian said after a while, "I only said that she is very smart and will not participate in political affairs, but not participating does not mean that she cannot make suggestions. She can still hide behind the scenes and help the emperor with suggestions. I hope Princess Wenwan can survive this crisis." Princess Wenwan may also be of great help in future border battles. "
Zhang Yi said anxiously, "Shi Nian, you are not going to go to the border as a Japanese pirate, are you? It is a bitter and cold place, will your family agree?"
Bai Shi Nian's ballad looks to the north, "The stars are shining brightly, the swords are flying across the sky, and the soldiers are waiting to be burned on the lonely sea. What's the use of the Xiongnu who have not destroyed the family? The Japanese invaders' caves should be tilted. The army reported that the feathers were flying for 800 miles, and the sound of cannons and mountains cracked like thunder. A common man since There is responsibility for rise and fall, and the blood is shed for the sake of mountains and rivers."
After Zhang Yi listened, he remained silent for a long time. This poem has answered his question. Finally, he sighed: "It's a pity." It's a pity that such an amazing and talented person died like this.
Bai Shinian said regretfully, "It's a pity indeed. I was still thinking that when I returned to Jiangnan, I would have to find time to meet this child no matter what. But I didn't expect" I didn't expect that he would die young.
Zhang Yi sneered: "Actually, I always find this strange. How could a man who was domineering and possessing martial arts skills in the capital die young as soon as he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. If I guessed correctly, someone should have done it."
Too much fame is not a good thing. Applicable to both men and women.
As the imperial court gained power and support, the border guards became more and more aggressive in combating Japanese pirates.
