Four hundred and eighty-ninth chapters lead snakes out of the hole (five)
The plundering of the land was like a shining heart. At this time, the emperor was young and ascended the throne, not only might he be able to deal with the Duke of Wei's Mansion. The Xu family has been guarding Jinling for a hundred years, but it cannot be said that it has made Jinling as solid as a golden soup. Through marriages from generation to generation, it has thousands of threads with the Jinling place. If you really have a rebellious relationship, you will not be able to fight against the court. Besides, the Xu family has two dukes, and the capital has the Duke Ding Mansion, which is the descendant of Xu Zengshou, the youngest son of the King of Zhongshan, and can be responded to.
"It's not the Duke of Wei's Mansion, it should be King Ning." Shen Rui hurriedly said when he saw the dilemma of the situation.
As the family of Empress Chengzu, the descendants of the Duke of Wei Kingdom now have the blood of the Xu family. In addition, the achievements of the ancestors, the King of Zhongshan, were given, so they were favored and were the first family of the people, and were ordered to guard Jinling. This is why, The Duke of Wei State was also a key monitoring target for the imperial court. The Duke of Wei State did have the right to mobilize troops, but if you want to accumulate private soldiers, you are looking for death.
"King Ning?" Chen Li was very surprised: "Ning Fan is thousands of miles away, and the matter is not connected, how could Rui Ge'er think of King Ning?"
"This year's New Year's Day ceremony, can there be King Ning who will be the vassal kings who will be ordered to meet again and again?" Shen Rui asked back.
Although Chen Li is in the Hanlin Academy, he is not unconcerned about the world, and he also sees the dynamics of the court. He nodded and said, "Last winter, King Ning did go on a pilgrimage, interacted with the brothers of Shouning Hou, and even offered porcelain paintings. Go to the East Palace.”
In the Ningfan area, Nanchang, the porcelain paintings are the local specialties of Nanchang.
Shen Rui said: "Although Chen Zhu mentioned his age, he was even more in line with King Ning, and the time was right."
Chen Li was still a little surprised: "Just this, Brother Rui thought of King Ning?"
Shen Rui said: "The waiter beside the man has a white face, a slender skeleton, a voice like a daughter, and a rule like a ruler."
Shen Li's expression turned heavy. He was a Hanlin lecturer and often went to and from the palace, and was used to seeing eunuchs in the palace. According to Shen Rui's description, the attendant was indeed similar to eunuchs in the palace.
"It's not a sea boat, it's a river boat." Shen Li also thought of this.
According to the last words of the eighth-fang Grandpa, it was not the real Japanese pirates who came ashore to rob, but the Ming people pretended to be. Previously, Chen Li focused on the islands near Songjiang, and suspected that it was the Ming pirates or the Jiang bandits who came ashore.
Now that it involves a vassal king in one place, it is not just a siege or a siege bandit.
"Taihu!" Shen Rui said: "You can send someone to explore along the river. More than a dozen people are coming down, not a small thing."
Taihu Lake is more than 200 miles away from Songjiang and more than 400 miles away from Nanchang Prefecture. The islands in the lake are crisscrossing, which is a good place for hiding soldiers and raising bandits.
Before, he was just confused and could not infer the intention of the person behind the scenes to the Shen family. Now he proposed the King Ning, and the agreement between Emperor Chengzu and King Ning Xian to "grab the river and govern" by King Ning, the King Ning. It is not surprising that you have always had a separatist heart.
"King Ning wants more than wealth." Chen Li pondered for a moment and made a decision: "I will meet He Xisheng tomorrow. Since King Ning looked at Songjiang, it is not just a matter of the Shen clan."
There are also children of the Shen family in the court and the people in the Shilin City, Jiangnan. After all, rebellion not only requires soldiers, but also civil officials and military generals who follow each other.
Shen Ling asked for guilt because she bought cloth and led the Japanese pirates to ashore; Chen Qi asked for guilt because her wife and children disappeared and the time when the Japanese pirates landed was overlapping, and she was suspected of being intimate. Chen Jun complained about his nephew after drinking, and was unknown to his nephew Chen Dong. It doesn't disappear for nothing, and it's related to the fact that the clan house is preserved for no reason.
This is a magnitude and a magnitude, which is calculated by the hearts of the people.
Shen Rui's heart moved. According to the history known to later generations, King Ning's rebellion was unknown. It was not until Zhengde officially raised the rebellion flag in more than ten years. Now that the incident of plundering Songjiang will change history? What will happen to the history?
Shen Rui was curious, with nervousness and expectation.
*
In the inner courtyard of the clan, Chen Hai was eating tea and looking at He, who looked haggard, he felt a little more impatient.
He was still long-winded: "Master, is the second child really okay? That's a prison, not another place. The second child has been imprisoned for a long time. He has fame and fortune. If he was more serious and tough, Zhao Xianzhong would not be too frightened. What a truth."
Since Shen Rui arrived in Songjiang, He had already said this a few times in private since he was silent.
"Tough? How to be tough? With the He family behind him, Zhao Xianzhong has more confidence and is just a thriller now. When the imperial envoy comes down, the next step is to convict and kill. Collude with Japanese pirates and cause trouble in the area. Even if the nine tribes are not copied, it will be within three generations. I can't escape." Chen Hai put down the teacup heavily and said coldly.
In the past two months, Chen Hai has also seen the cold and cold world. What he hates the most is not Zhao Xianzhong, who wants the Shen family to be a scapegoat, but the He family, who takes the opportunity to take the lead.
Even though the second master of the He family pretended to run away from the prefect's office and said that he had left the relationship and took care of his nephew, it was just him talking. If he took it seriously, he would be a fool.
The reason why Zhao Xianzhong was able to go all the way without caring about the Shen family's tribe members who served in Beijing was that he had another agreement with the He family that he suppressed the "local tyrants".
The He family, who has married into the Shen family for many years, is still in the parents' family. What is said there, I believe the He family will not harm their own family.
Not to mention Chen Qi and Shen Ling's crime, she only said that her eldest grandson Chen Dong disappeared in the old house of the clan. Chen Dong is fifteen years old and a half-year-old boy. She is not a baby without ability to move or is easily subdued. Children. If you want to take Chen Dong out, you must first be fascinated and then avoid being transported out. This is not something that one person or two can do, nor is it something that outsiders can do.
Chen Hai is not a fool either, so he naturally asked his family to investigate first, and found out that two strange things were found. On the day Chen Dong disappeared, the people in the dowry farm came to eat, and two carriages came, and how many carriages were on the carriage. A basket of vegetables. Chen Hai's suspicion was these people. Japanese pirates came ashore and killed the people. These people were just about to encounter them when they left the city and were killed by Japanese pirates.
Although there is an old saying that "no coincidence can be written", two coincidences are next to each other, it would be strange if Chen Hai does not doubt the He family. The He family was just complaining about the He family, thinking that it is a family of flesh and blood, and will not plot against the Shen family.
The eldest grandson disappeared and the second son was trapped in prison. He has suffered a lot in the past two months.
Seeing her husband swearing with great concerns about the life and death of his children and grandchildren, He himself became confused. Could it be that it is the He family?
Thinking of this possibility, He felt dizzy. She stood up with the coffee table and gritted her teeth and said, "I want to go to the He family to ask, what's going on?"
Seeing this, Chen Hai hesitated and wanted to encourage his wife to go to the He family for trouble, but he was afraid that something would happen outside the festival and disrupt Shen Jing's deployment.
At this time, Chen Li and Shen Rui came together, and Chen Li said, "We sent someone to send a post to the He family. I will visit the He family tomorrow. My uncle can go with my nephew."
Looking at Shenli's solemn appearance, He felt aching and trembling with his lips, "Can't it be the He family?"
Chen Li said: "Although it is not a little bit wading in the He family, since the Shen family can force it to this point, it will never be completely unrelated."
A strong dragon does not defeat a local snake, except when it comes to another local snake. It is just a combination of vertical and horizontal forces, and the principles are easy to understand.
He couldn't deceive himself, and he looked sad. He didn't know if he should have more resentment or more worrying: "That's the Japanese pirates, how dare they?"
The charge of "transferring Japanese troops" fell to the Shen family, but the Shen family could not withstand it; the He family could not withstand it even when it fell to the He family.
Chen Hai didn't want to see his wife's style, and waved his hand and said impatiently: "Neighbors have worked hard for the past two days. There is a knife fish in the kitchen. You asked someone to pack it up and bring it up."
He went away with a sigh, leaving only his uncle and nephew.
Chen Hai said hatefully: "He Lao Er is an old fox. If you ask tomorrow, he will not respond. Humph, just open your mouth, but he doesn't think about whether the Shen family can do such a big thing as a big deal when the Japanese pirates get ashore. It can bear it. When the imperial envoy comes down, if he is a powerful person, he may not say that Zhao Xianzhong will push the He family out next."
This sentence was an angry saying. Zhao Xianzhong was not a mad dog. He saw him biting the other one. He directly offended the Shen family, and had already offended the Xie Ge Lao side; he then involved the He family and offended the Li Ge Lao side again. His stern It's over.
However, Chen Hai obviously did not aimlessly. He took out a booklet and handed it to Chen Li: "This is a strange thing about the He family before and after the Japanese pirates came ashore. Since the incident, I have asked people to stare at the He family, and indeed, I have stared at it. The sixth house of the He family came to visit the foreigners when the Japanese pirates landed. They were several men. After the Japanese pirates landed, these people disappeared, but there was no list of these people reported by the government. One thing, and another thing, after Jun Ge'er and his friends were detained, a young scholar came to the He family. I asked someone to follow him, but I lost it. The news from the dock was that during the days when the Japanese pirates came ashore. There should have been several boats in the He family back from Sichuan, but there was no movement and it was left unresolved. It would be strange if there was no sneaky here!"
Chen Li took it and was a little surprised: "Since these are there, why didn't the uncle ask Mr. He directly?"
Chen Hai's face became more solemn: "At first I wanted to ask, but the news was getting more and more, and the He family became less and less innocent, so I was afraid to go. The Shen family was not just a He family. , and there are others. I am afraid of alerting the enemy, so I will let the other party notice and clean up the ending. In that case, the Shen family's crime of "communicating with the Japanese" will not be removed."
Chen Li and Shen Rui looked at each other, and they were both a little embarrassed.
The two of them had the impression of Chen Hai before that they were mediocre and irresponsible. Only now do they realize that it is too one-sided.
Since he was the eldest son personally raised by the ancestor, he still had this vision. Compared with taking out a few nephews, how to escape the sins of the Shen family is more important. How can you get the eggs in the end? Even if you temporarily put this in this Several people were caught out, and when the Shen family was found guilty of "transferring Japanese troops", Chen Qi, Chen Jun and Shen Ling were already unable to fall down. The beheaded and the exiled were exiled.
"The person behind the He family should be King Ning." Chen Li said slowly.
After all, King Ning's rebellion was just an inference and there was no evidence so far. Chen Li and Shen Rui were afraid that Chen Hai would be leaked in importance, so they did not intend to tell him. They just wanted to negotiate with He Xisheng tomorrow. The lips were gone and the teeth were cold. He Xisheng should be able to do this truth. I understand. Chen Hai is not as mediocre as I imagined, and has a view of the overall situation of a clan leader, so I should not hide this from Chen Hai.
