Chapter 838 Discussion
Author: Loeva
After finishing breakfast, Qin Bai was completely relieved.
I couldn't calm myself down. During breakfast, my granddaughter Qin Hanzhen seemed to have forgotten what "eating without speaking" means. She kept singing and making witty remarks with Zhao Mo, and flattered him, which made him feel very happy.
For pleasure. Even though he once felt that Zhao Mo was too negligent and that Qin Han really shouldn't be so curious, now he no longer thinks that it is a big problem, but instead regards it as a harmless and cute little temperament of juniors.
Seeing the expression on his face, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other secretly, and couldn't help but chuckle. They seemed to have a tacit understanding in coaxing Qin Bai.
Now that Qin Bai is no longer obsessed with the private information exchange between the two juniors, their conversation will return to business.
The sudden stroke of the Marquis of Zhenxi really surprised everyone. Qin Bai and Zhao Mo were also concerned about this matter now. They began to discuss how this incident would affect the situation that they thought had been settled. What they should worry about first
, that is, will the emperor become dissatisfied with other people in the Zhenxihou Mansion because of this, and even implicate Su Zhongying and Qin Youyi?
Qin Bai had his own opinion on this: "The emperor shouldn't be too angry. If Zhenxihou suffered a stroke, the Su family really did it intentionally, and it was probably just to save Zhenxihou's life. As long as it has nothing to do with the overall situation, the emperor will be more careful.
Appreciate courtiers who are affectionate and righteous."
The emperor originally planned to secretly interrogate the Marquis of Zhenxi and confirm his guilt before having him die. However, now that the Marquis of Zhenxi has suffered a stroke, it is difficult to continue with the original plan. If the Marquis of Zhenxi is not seriously ill,
It's very possible that he still can't escape. But if he is so ill that he doesn't know about his personnel, or is unable to move, the emperor may very well let him go in a more dignified way for the sake of his veteran minister and die of natural illness. Marquis of Zhenxi
If he is lucky, he might be able to live with a stroke for many more years; but if he is unlucky, he may not know when he will die. Moreover, if he dies of a normal illness, there is no need to consider concealing the truth from the outside world.
, but on the other hand, Zhenxihou also took advantage.
But as long as the Marquis of Zhenxi cannot escape his guilt and suffers from illness before his death, the emperor will not be too angry. It is understandable that the Su family wants to save the life of the Marquis of Zhenxi. If the Su family brothers are related to this
, it was also out of filial piety. The prince of Shu gave up his father and younger brother, and saved his wealth with their lives, and also won the freedom of his family. This was certainly a wise choice in the eyes of outsiders, and the emperor also felt guilty because of him.
He was rewarded for his loyalty to the court. But considering that he betrayed his close relatives, deep down in his heart, the emperor actually didn't like him too much, but he just didn't show it to outsiders. Qin Bai could often meet and talk with the emperor.
, but I understand what the emperor is thinking.
Qin Bai thought so, he had a soft heart. But Zhao Mo had another idea: "Having a stroke is not bad. When the old man is the age of Zhen Xihou, he has accumulated a lot of old problems in his early years, and everyone has it."
Knowing that he was in poor health and died gradually after a stroke, no one would be suspicious. It would be easier to win people's trust than the emperor's original plan. And if the eldest son of the Su family used the excuse of his father's stroke to return to Shu and take charge of the southwest military
, and it seems more logical. The eldest son of the Su family could pretend that he was following his father's orders. He only said that after Zhen Xihou suffered a stroke, he was once in danger. At the critical moment of life and death, he realized it, put aside some of his past obsessions, and recognized his own destiny.
He made mistakes and wanted to repent for his sins, so he sent his eldest son back to the army to make up for his mistakes. In this way, those soldiers in the Southwest Army who still respected the Marquis of Zhenxi would not because of Su
The prince's political views were different from those of his father, and he deliberately made things difficult for him."
Qin Hanzhen looked at Zhao Mo speechlessly, and then at his grandfather Qin Bai. He felt deeply that not everyone could succeed in the court. Compared with his grandfather Qin Bai's somewhat naive thoughts, Zhao Mo
Mo's idea is undoubtedly more practical and practical.
Qin Bai calmly affirmed the feasibility of Zhao Mo's suggestion and asked him to enter the palace as soon as possible to make suggestions to the emperor. If things go well, he can still get credit for making suggestions.
Zhao Mo was taken aback, and then smiled and said: "My uncle, I will tell you the same thing. The emperor knows that your idea is good, and he will definitely be happy."
Qin Bai waved his hand: "What do I need this credit for? The future of you young people is more important. You are in a difficult situation now. If the emperor can treat you more seriously, you can be more relaxed in the future. At least, you deserve the title you deserve.
You won’t let others snatch it away.”
Zhao Mo pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qin Hanzhen was a little surprised: "What's going on? Is there anyone who wants to snatch cousin Zhao's title? Is there anyone who can snatch it from him?! Why? There are so many titles in the world, and Suning is not that rich.
Why should others snatch this place from Cousin Zhao? If you have the ability, go to the Clan Mansion and ask for it!"
Zhao Mo smiled slightly at her: "My cousin misunderstood, what is there to grab for the title of a Suning County Prince? My uncle was talking about the inheritance rights of the Liao Prince's Palace. My father was originally the heir of the Liao Prince, but now... his status is not
It's safe and sound. The King of Liao and the Princess heard that he was involved in the rebellion of King Ninghua, and they are thinking of writing a letter to abolish his position as heir apparent and make his second uncle or third uncle his heir apparent instead."
It turned out to be a member of the Liaodong family. Qin Hanzhen could not help but roll his eyes: "Are they embarrassed? Your second uncle and third uncle also committed crimes in the past. Your second uncle has also been in the clan prison. I don't think so.
How much more innocent than your father. Even if the emperor really deposed your father's throne, it would not be the turn of two clan members with bad records to become the crown prince of the Liao Dynasty? Otherwise, just let you, the real grandson, inherit the throne.
, how about... take back the fiefdom, and no one will have to rob it. Anyway, it's good for you to be a county king, you can live a very comfortable life, and you can be the master of your own country, without having to look at other people's faces."
Zhao Mo couldn't help but laugh: "What my cousin said makes sense. I don't care about who is the prince or grandson of King Liao. It's just that there are movements in Liaodong, and there are corresponding movements in the Palace of Liao in the middle of the capital. I live in the Palace of Liao now.
I just feel a little annoyed."
Qin Hanzhen advised him: "Why don't you just buy another house in the capital? It will save you the trouble of having to live in other people's homes when you return to the capital in the future. You have to be wary of people every day when you eat and sleep."
Zhao Mo said with a smile: "I do have this intention, but I can't find a satisfactory house for a while. Besides, I don't know when I will return to the fiefdom. Even if I officially open a house in the capital, I won't be able to live there for a few days, so
It seems a bit wasteful. It takes a lot of effort to arrange for people to watch and clean the house, let alone buy a house that can be used as the residence of a county prince. The money is definitely not small."
Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "Of course I'm not asking you to find a big house to be the palace of the county prince. Just get a small house for two or three people, clean it up, and make it your place to stay in the capital. You can live in a place where you can feel at ease.
If it is smaller, it won’t be too troublesome to clean, but it is still your own territory. If you send people to Beijing to deliver letters or do other things in the future, you can also have a stable place to live. Wouldn’t it be much more convenient than originally borrowing the place of the Liao Prince’s Mansion?
?”
It's not that Zhao Mo doesn't have real estate in the capital, it's just that it's not suitable for long-term living. Now that Qin Hanzhen gave him some advice, he liked it very much and even asked Qin Hanzhen's opinion on the spot: "My cousin thinks that the area around Drum Tower
How about it? Find a place close to Shichahai. The scenery is better. When the weather is sunny and warm, you can also go for a walk on the edge of Haizi."
Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "Although the scenery on the Shicha Sea is good, will the water vapor be a little heavy? We also need to consider whether the terrain will be too low and there will be no water accumulation in the rainy season? You can live in a house like that for a long time.
It’s easy to get rheumatism.”
Qin Bai coughed twice, and Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo realized that they had gone off topic. They were talking about the Marquis of Zhenxi. In the middle of the conversation, they noticed that Zhao Shuo, the eldest son of King Liao, was currently in a bad situation and could be said to be a related figure.
But after all this talk, why did we start discussing the purchase of real estate?
Qin Hanzhen cleared his throat uncomfortably, and Zhao Mo lowered his head to drink tea.
Qin Bai looked at the two of them expressionlessly, sighed secretly, and finally chose not to pursue it, and just continued to discuss the original topic: "If the King of Liao wants to depose Guanglu's father as the heir apparent at this time, it may not be possible.
. But if you want to make one of the remaining two sons the heir apparent afterwards, I'm afraid it will be difficult. It is indeed more likely that the emperor will not make the crown prince of King Liao. When the king of Liao dies, the land of Liao will return to the hands of the court. "Border peace, Liaodong
A large army has been raised, but there are only a few wars. There is really no need for a vassal king to be in charge. It is enough to have a few reliable and capable generals stationed there.
Zhao Mo said calmly: "As a minister, I don't dare to guess what the emperor will do. But the outcome has little to do with me. Regardless of whether my father's position as the crown prince of the Liao Dynasty will be deposed, I will never leave Jiangnan.
From that day on, I no longer had any hope for this position. Now I am my king of Suning County, and my life is going well. Let my father worry about the dispute between the princes of Liao Dynasty. But I think he
Now that I am so frightened, I probably don’t dare to do anything unnecessary.”
Qin Bai said: "If you are open-minded, it will be your blessing. In that case, no matter how they argue, you only need to obey the orders of the emperor and the prince, that is enough."
Zhao Mo agreed obediently.
The topic returned to Zhenxihou again. What happened to Zhenxihou's stroke? Was it really a trick done by the Su family in private?
Qin Bai was doubtful about this. He felt that Su Zhongying and his wife spent the night at their own house last night. Although Su Boxiong returned home, he behaved as usual before leaving. There was nothing special about it, and it did not seem to make such a sinister person.
Recruit people.
Qin Hanzhen suddenly remembered something: "When Mrs. Zhenxi Hou came over yesterday, her attitude towards my little aunt was so bad that I couldn't help telling the truth and frightened her. At that time, my little aunt was wronged
She cried profusely, worrying about the future of her two cousins. After crying, she said some strange words to Mrs. Zhenxihou..." She recounted the conversation between Qin Youyi and Mrs. Zhenxihou word for word.
He came out and said, "What kind of medicine are they bringing to save lives? The Marquis of Zhenxi hates his wife. It's very suspicious. Could this matter have anything to do with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"
Qin Bai and Zhao Mo looked at each other, both a little shocked.
Qin Bai was puzzled: "What's the point of doing this? Youyi was also confused. At that time, the emperor had not yet issued an edict, so he was not sure how to deal with the Marquis of Zhenxi. Her unnecessary action gave the Marquis of Zhenxi a chance to survive for a while. She was not afraid of doing this
Will it ruin the emperor’s plans?”
Zhao Mo was even more frightened: "I'm afraid the Marquis of Zhenxi has never been wary of his wife. The Marquis of Zhenxi has only been back from Yongjia Marquis Mansion for a long time, and she has already succeeded. What method did she use? How good is it?
Is she very skillful? Seeing how obedient she is to the Marquis of Zhenxi on weekdays, she is surprisingly cruel..."
