Qin Zhongtang, who returned to the capital, was very busy, not only in the court, but also at home. After all, there were so many rooms waiting for the rain and dew to get wet.
For the time being, he couldn't even take care of Fairy Tao Xiuxuan. The only time he went to Fairy Tao in the past few days was to get medicine.
When Tao Laodao quietly entered the Qin Mansion from the side door at the second watch of the day, Qin Zhongtang had already begun to lie down with his clothes on.
When he heard that someone had come to visit him at night, and it seemed that he had to meet him because of something important, Qin Zhongtang jumped out of bed and went to the outer study as if he had been pardoned.
He and Tao Laodao didn't need to exchange polite greetings, and asked directly: "The old immortal suddenly came to visit overnight, but what happened in the palace?"
Tao Zhongwen sighed deeply, and suddenly began to hesitate whether he should tell Qin Dewei.
Finally, he thought that since he had come here, it would be inappropriate not to talk about it, so he immediately told the story about Emperor Jiajing asking about Tao Xiuxuan today.
The more Qin Dewei listened, the more upset he became. He knitted his brows tightly together and asked again: "These are the two sentences that the emperor asked? Are there any other omissions?"
Tao Zhongwen replied very definitely: "I only asked these two questions and didn't mention anything else."
In this way, Qin Dewei made a judgment first, "It can be concluded that the emperor probably does not know that Xiangu is here with me, otherwise he would not just ask like this.
At this moment, he even had some doubts. Did Qin Dewei want to push Tao Xiuxuan into the palace for the sake of glory and wealth?
Qin Dewei seemed to see through Tao Laodao's thoughts and asked proactively: "Am I that kind of person?"
When Shi Shiran, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty who was the Chief of Ceremonies, walked into the vestibule of Wuyi Hall and was about to go to the west wing to read the memorial, Qin Zhongtang from the Military Aircraft Department "coincidentally" also walked out.
"Since this person knows Xiangu so well, but he didn't tell the emperor that Xiangu was in the Qin Mansion, then he must have deliberately not told her!" Qin Dewei continued.
Qin Dewei replied: "In the end, matters in the palace must be resolved by the palace. Do you think the emperor has any intention of replacing the queen?"
Then Qin Zhongtang asked the Qin eunuch aggressively: "Why hasn't Zhang Shu approved the plan to mobilize the Beijing army to reinforce Jizhen?"
"So?" Tao Laodao didn't understand what Qin Dewei wanted to explain.
Tao Laodao was a little concerned but confused, "Whether that person did it on purpose or not, should you and I do something now?"
For example, let Tao Xiangu fly away quickly, return to her hometown temporarily or go to Nanjing to hide, so as not to be really missed by the emperor.
As a person close to the emperor, Tao Laodao had also heard about some things, but he didn't understand and said: "Are these two things related?"
In fact, as a foreign minister, Qin Dewei couldn't see the queen, but he could ask others to pass on the message.
Even if emotions and face are put aside, Tao Xiangu's medical skills are very important to the family. Qin Zhongtang himself wants to enjoy a few more years of happiness, so he is not willing to let her go.
What else could Tao Laodao say when he heard this?
This may be the only way to stop the emperor at present. As Qin Dewei said, only the queen is qualified to "question" in front of the emperor.
In other words, the person who mentioned Fairy Aunt to the Emperor did not tell the Emperor that Fairy Tao was in the Qin Mansion."
Eunuch Qin sneered and said: "Do you still need your guidance when the Superintendent of Ceremonies approves the red review? Otherwise, if you work as an errand in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, I will be willing to give in to the good ones!"
People who like power must also be possessive. There were so many flowers and plants on the Qinhuai River back then. Why did only Wang Lianqing enter the Qin family's door in the end?
The following slander is easy to make up. The emperor just paid attention to a woman, and you immediately sent her to a distant place to hide. What do you mean?
With Emperor Jiajing's temper, something would happen even if nothing happened. This was the other party's plan, and it was not unreasonable.
The other party will only pretend to make some remarks to the emperor in a nonchalant manner, and then at this time, the other party is probably expecting us to do something, and then go and slander the emperor."
Since the other party’s plan is so thorough, he will definitely think so and involve the Queen.”
Empress Fang was the one who saved the emperor a year ago. The emperor certainly could not openly admit that he wanted to depose the queen. At this time, he could only appease the queen. Even if he had other thoughts, he could only stand still for the time being.
Tao Laodao reviewed Emperor Jiajing's attitude again and felt that Qin Dewei's judgment should be correct.
The two giants collided, and the entourage stood away and stopped listening to what they shouldn't hear. Later, the two giants arrived in the main hall of Wuyi Hall and continued to quarrel.
Qin Dewei pretended to be angry: "You don't understand me as well as those on the other side! They dare to plan this because they are sure that I am not willing to sacrifice my daughter for glory and ruin my face and reputation!"
Tao Laodao also told the truth: "There is no point in guessing these things, I only look at performance."
At this time, the water has been muddied, and we have more room to maneuver. It doesn't matter if we send Tao Xiangu away while the emperor's attention is diverted."
If the emperor doesn't have the full picture, there's a lot they can do.
Tao Laodao was not stupid and understood immediately.
Qin Dewei said calmly: "If I were to slander, I would definitely connect these two things together, so that I can more powerfully influence the emperor.
You can persuade Queen Fang to cry in front of the emperor, saying that after hearing someone's suggestion, she also heard that she would replace the queen with a fairy girl.
Qin Dewei shook his head, "As the saying goes, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong. You have to understand that the other party's real intention is me and not the fairy girl!
And slander is also a skill. If it were me, I would never make my true intentions too obvious, as that would only make the emperor alert.
Tao Laodao said angrily: "Are you just going to do nothing? Or do you want to do something else?"
Moreover, a bedridden person like the emperor must have countless random thoughts in his mind, but he may not necessarily do it. Changing the queen to celebrate the wedding is just one of them.
"Even if the queen is deposed, it can be treated as real in the calculation!" Qin Dewei said: "We can't do much, so let's leave it to the queen to solve it. There are some things that only the queen can do!
Only by correlating the matter of the Fairy Girl with the deposed Queen, could Empress Fang be qualified to question the Emperor.
But he couldn't talk to the queen, so he could only salute Qin Dewei and say: "Please do everything!"
The next day, Qin Zhongtang went to work in the military aircraft office located in the east wing of Wuyi Hall in Xiyuan. The west wing opposite was the clerk's room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
After the quarrel was over, Qin Dewei took the lead to leave the main hall and returned to the military aircraft in the east wing.
Tao Laodao didn't want to listen to Qin Dewei's analysis of how to slander. He just wanted to know what to do now.
The emperor felt morally indebted, so he could only give in superficially.
Eunuch Qin, on the other hand, was deep in thought with a gloomy expression on his face. Finally, he wiped away all surface emotions and left Wuyi Palace and entered Renshou Palace.
Queen Fang was in the palace at this time. When Eunuch Qin saw Queen Fang, he said, "Qin Dewei asked me to pass a message to the empress."
"What are you talking about?" Queen Fang asked curiously. This seemed to be the first time that Qin Dewei took the initiative to ask someone to contact her.
Eunuch Qin replied with deep meaning: "Qin Dewei said that there are some things that only you can do."
Damn, I don’t even know how to write the ending after you guessed it. I’ll think about it again.
