When Jiang Hanqing woke up again, it was already the next morning
Bai Yingjue is still by his side, and Jiang Fengqin has gone back to her yard to rest
Jiang Hanqing woke up this time and her physical condition had improved a lot. With the help of Bai Yingjue, she was able to get out of bed and walk around.
Just then, his father Jiang Haoyu came to see him, and he was very happy when he saw him.
It’s good to be young! After so much blood, the wound is still a little inflamed, and it’s fine after lying for two days! If it were our old men, if we don’t die, we will definitely lose our skin! How could it be as fast as you recover? Alas! I’m old!
Looking at his son walking slowly in the courtyard with the help of others, Jiang Haoyu's words were filled with the feeling of time being unforgiving.
Jiang Hanqing Shanshan smiled and said: Father, you are making fun of your son! My father is in his prime, how come he gets old?
Jiang Haoyu sighed with a wry smile, turned around and walked into the house. Jiang Hanqing saw that his father had clearly said something to say to him, so he hurriedly signaled Bai Yingjue to help him into the house.
As soon as the father and son were settled, Jiang Haoyu spoke: Tell me carefully about your attack!
Jiang Hanqing did not dare to neglect and hurriedly told his father what happened that night he was attacked.
After hearing this, Jiang Haoyu's face was very gloomy and he pondered for a long time without saying a word
Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Jiang Hanqing took the initiative to speak: Regarding what happened that night, the child quickly sorted out his thoughts, but he had some of his own opinions.
Jiang Haoyu gave his son a fat look and nodded: OK! Let me tell you your own opinion first!
Jiang Hanqing said: The person who presided over the conspiracy must be very clear about the situation of the child and has been planning for a long time. He has observed the daily course of action very carefully and has long figured out the rules of my action. He knew that after I came out of the Prince's Mansion, I usually took the road that night to attack and returned to the compound. If this is not the case, ordinary people should be on the main road and would never ambush in the prosperous city.
Jiang Haoyu nodded with a serious expression and said with certainty: Not bad! I think so too! This guy has long paid attention to your actions! Maybe he is still a person who is very familiar with you. When Jiang Haoyu said this, his face was very vicious.
After Jiang Hanqing finished speaking, he continued: The place where the group of people were ambushing that night was so accurate. One was that he had a very clear grasp of the child's usual course of action as the child said, and the other also showed that the other party was very clear about my whereabouts, at least he knew that I was going to go to the prince's mansion to attend the banquet that night!
Who knew that night that you were going to the Prince's Mansion to attend a banquet?
Jiang Haoyu obviously agreed with his son's point of view, so he hurriedly asked his son.
There is no need to say about Xu Sheng and his uncle, as well as Xu Yu and his wife and many family members in the Prince's Mansion.
In addition, there are several families in our family who know about this, and they don't know who they have disclosed this news to.
When Jiang Haoyu heard that so many people knew about this, he frowned and said: Are so many people know about this? Then there is no way to investigate this matter!
Jiang Hanqing said: Yes! From this clue, it seems that there will be no good results.
Jiang Haoyu stood up, turned around the room for a few times and said to his son with a cautious expression: Son Ah, this is what I think about this: it is absolutely impossible for the emperor or Wang Mingde to do it! The two of them will never be so stupid as to do such a thankless stupid thing!
Jiang Hanqing also nodded and said: The child also thinks so much about this! The person who planned this matter must be able to obtain the most direct benefits from my death. For the emperor and Wang Mingde, when the situation is very delicate, they cannot take rash actions for me and make them look like me. Even if people like me are eliminated, they will not get much benefit. Instead, it will arouse suspicion and caution from other forces. It will be even more difficult for them to take any action in the future!
Jiang Haoyu didn't say anything at this time, but just kept twisting the beard on his chin with his fingers, looking a little out of his mind, as if he was hesitating about something
Looking at his father who was pondering, Jiang Hanqing continued: There was a person among the assassins that day. The child always felt that his voice was a little familiar. Although he couldn't remember who he was, it was certain that the child had definitely heard his voice somewhere, otherwise he wouldn't have that feeling.
Jiang Haoyu suddenly raised his head, a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said fiercely: Since you think this voice is familiar, then you must have heard of it. This person may not be familiar with you! No matter what, judging from the current situation, I think that this bastard is the most suspicious of this incident!
Looking at the father with a fierce expression in front of him, Jiang Hanqing said in a deep voice: My thoughts are the same as my father! Most of the people who do this are...
Suddenly seeing my father glaring at him and realizing that he was wrong, Jiang Hanqing swallowed the name he was about to spit out, and paused and continued: Hehe! Recently, we are doubting that the Wang family is going to rebel. He chose to act at such a sensitive moment before the New Year to shift everyone's attention to the Wang family. Moreover, when I was injured, everyone will be furious and abnormal, and they will not doubt anything else. Hum! His abacus is really loud! Unfortunately, the child is not as cowardly as he imagined, and he did not die under the assassins.
Jiang Hao and Xishuiling continued with a smile: What's even more regrettable is that you, my father and son are not as idiotic as he thought! They didn't focus on Wang Mingde or the emperor as he wanted. This guy has been wearing a fake mask for so many years, and has been unable to stand out now... Hehe... He is finally unwilling to be lonely, and the fox's tail is about to be revealed!
Bai Yingjue listened to the conversation between the father and son, but never said anything.
She knew that such aristocratic families had very strict requirements on their women. When the people in power spoke, women could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they would never speak casually.
But now listening to the conversation between father and son, they had clearly guessed who did it, but they didn't say the person's name in front of her.
Bai Yingjue was very curious. Who dared to attack Jiang Hanqing?
And from the tone of the two people, the suspect seemed to be the one they were very familiar with.
The strong curiosity finally drove Bai Yingjue to ask: Do you know who did it? What is his name? Is he... his own person in the family?
Jiang Haoyu glanced at Bai Yingjue without answering, but his face suddenly became much ugly again
I will naturally go to Shizhe for this matter and you can rest assured to recover from your injuries! Well... I think you can't rest now! Alas!
After he turned his head and said this to Jiang Hanqing, he ignored the two of them and left with his own strength
I didn't look at Bai Yingjue again before leaving
Looking at Jiang Haoyu's back as he left, Bai Yingjue said with a sad face: Qing, it seems... your father really doesn't welcome a woman like me to fight with you!
Jiang Hanqing sighed and said with a forced smile: Don’t think about it! This is just that my father is in a bad mood after I was injured! If he really didn’t like you, he would have driven you away long ago!
Bai Yingjue shook his head and said sadly: You don’t need to comfort me! Of course he won’t drive me away! I am already your woman. Even if he doesn’t like me, he will give his son some face! But I know that in his eyes, I am just a vixen used to satisfy his son’s sexual desire, and I can’t be considered a woman from your Jiang family!
Jiang Hanqing looked at Bai Yingjue complaining about herself, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her. She could only sigh and walked to the side of the house and dusted herself.
For a moment, two people in the room stopped talking, and they were thinking about their own thoughts stupidly.
In the following days, since Jiang Hanqing had woken up, Li Huaxin also began to take care of him every day on the grounds of visiting his condition.
Under the care and love of Bai Yingjue and Li Huaxin, Jiang Hanqing's body recovered quickly, and in more than ten days, he became lively again.
In this rare leisure time of more than ten days, Jiang Hanqing quietly thought about his life and his future path.
In his life, he never thought about something so seriously
All the things that happened in the past year made Jiang Hanqing realize that the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty would not last long.
The empire at this moment is nothing more than a decayed house with a huge structure
Its appearance looks so huge and attractive, but it has long been decayed inside. Just a little external force will cause the entire empire to collapse. 0 Jiang Hanqing knows that this house will collapse sooner or later, but he is not sure when the collapse of the empire will happen. Maybe it will happen in the new year, and maybe it will have to wait for many years.
No matter what, Jiang Hanqing is very clear about one thing. For someone like him who is trying to seize the throne of the emperor, every day from now on cannot be wasted.
What makes Jiang Hanqing feel the most is undoubtedly the problem of the Xianzong and the saints.
Since he is a member of the Holy Gate Yin Sect, Jiang Hanqing knows more than anyone else how powerful these guys have
But the capital is so big, where should I go to find these invisible enemies?
Are there really hidden spies from the exoteric sect in their home?
Have the saints really entered the palace?
Jiang Hanqing must find the answer to these questions as soon as possible, otherwise what is waiting for him will undoubtedly be a huge problem.
Although he had this understanding, Jiang Hanqing had not yet come up with a good way to search for the enemy's traces at this time.
Without any clues, how could he identify who he was looking for out of thin air?
Put aside the enemy in this dark for the time being. In the current court, the biggest enemy of the Jiang family is undoubtedly the Wang family of Dingguo Duke
After more than 600 years of hard work, the huge power owned by the Wang family is undoubtedly very terrifying, but even the Jiang family is not very clear about the specific strength.
Jiang Hanqing believes that although the Wang family is not as good as the Jiang family on the surface, they must have hidden a lot of unknown power in private.
For such a huge enemy with a long history, overestimating its strength is definitely more beneficial than underestimating it
The recent performance of the Wang family also made Jiang Hanqing more or less suspicious.
Especially Wang Siting's handling of controlling the power of Concubine Qingsi made Jiang Hanqing very worried.
He never believed that it would be a stupid thing the Wang family did without reason
He made a secret decision in his heart that after his injury healed, he must spend more time to find out what conspiracy the Wang family is doing.
I hope they don't want to rebel before the Jiang family is ready
As for the Anguogong family, although their power has been deteriorating in recent years, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
What's more, the Li family also has a peerless general like Shi Yanying. Once the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Flying Eagle Legion are passed, it is definitely not simple.
Compared with Jiang, Wang, Li and Sanjia, the Zou family are indeed too small and are all mediocre people. Jiang Hanqing really feels nothing to worry about.
After carefully thinking about the power comparison of the four major families, Jiang Hanqing gradually had a clear background on the different policies he should take when dealing with his relationship with the other three families in the future.
Join the weakest Zou family to form a temporary alliance; on this basis, win over the Li family in the middle, and try their best to secretly find ways to stimulate the existing conflict between Shi Yanying and the Li family, and strive to promote the final break between the two; and for the isolated biggest enemy, the Wang family, it is naturally to do everything possible to give Ziqi a fatal blow!
As for the imperial royal family, Jiang Hanqing didn't care much about it
The increasingly stupid emperor will not be a particularly big threat to anyone, especially when the army he controlled has been damaged in the war against the Qiute people.
All he needs to pay attention to is that he cannot be too revealing in front of the emperor.
Although the Crown Prince Xu Sheng has always followed the rules, his lack of personal ability has always made it difficult for him to accomplish great things.
What is particularly important is that this heir to the throne is still a suspicious person with a narrow temperament
Just like what happened that night Jiang Hanqing was attacked, Yin Yuji originally hoped that both sides could work together, but Xu Sheng was hesitant because he couldn't let go of his prejudices. In the end, he missed the opportunity because of the interruption of a vixen.
Jiang Hanqing is almost certain that one day Xu Sheng will definitely fail miserably because of this fatal flaw.
The second prince Xuyu has found a backer recently, so he has become increasingly arrogant.
But this guy himself is just a fool. Jiang Hanqing is sure that he can't make any big scenes. Jiang Hanqing is quite concerned about the forces hidden behind Xu Yu.
Although the other party's identity is still unclear, since he dares to intervene in the core political struggle, his strength is naturally unquestionable.
But if the other party has strong strength, why would he choose Xuyu, a fool, to serve as the spokesperson in the court?
Jiang Hanqing has always been full of doubts about this
He concluded that the other party just wanted to use the stupid Xuyu for a short time, but what kind of effect would this play? After a long time of thinking, Jiang Hanqing had to temporarily throw it away. Jiang Hanqing had also estimated that he had taken the initiative to cause trouble in the past few days, but in the end he gave up this idea, for four reasons.
First, unless the Jiang family can capture all the other three Duke families and the imperial royal family at the beginning of the uprising, the Jiang family will face a huge force that cannot be matched by several unmatched forces.
In fact, Jiang Hanqing clearly knew that his family was not capable of doing this
Compared with the Wang family whose fief is near the capital, the Jiang family is at an absolute disadvantage in this regard.
Secondly, although the Jiang family has a large number of elite troops, will the army with the unjust reputation maintain strong morale when the Jiang family takes the initiative to rebel?
No one dares to take this risk easily!
What's more, although the army that the Jiang family now has has a certain advantage over other forces, it does not mean that they can win and not lose.
Third, the Jiang family has many supporters among the people, because they have always had a good reputation in the country.
But once the Jiang family has had trouble and the people in the world are in dire straits from then on, will they still have a good impression of the rioters who launched the rebellion and trapped the people in dire straits?
No one can think of this question to know the correct answer
Those who do not win the hearts of the people want to win the world, but no one has ever been able to succeed since ancient times!
Fourth, although the Jiang family has a large fiefdom in the western part of the empire, most of these kings are emerging areas gradually expanded after the founding of the empire. Most of them were relatively poor and impoverished.
With the efforts of the Jiang family for many years, these areas have gradually become rich, but their position in the imperial political territory is still insignificant and has never been very strategic in maintaining the existence and development of the empire.
Strictly speaking, these kings only provide some luxurious raw materials for production for the empire. That is to say, with these lands, the empire will have more resources and the people's lives will be richer; without these lands, the empire will also exist and develop.
In the traditional bases on which the empire was founded, the central and northern regions of the empire, and even the relatively poor southern and eastern regions, the Jiang family had almost no influence.
If the Jiang family took the initiative to launch a rebellion, they would basically not be able to get any strong support in the hinterland of the empire. They could only attack Yiyang's own strength step by step. The difficulty can be imagined.
The Jiang family's sphere of influence is often described as a remote place in the west, which is why
When he was at Sanchakou, Jiang Hanqing valued his grandson Xiáng He so much. One was because this person was indeed capable, and the other was to use him to beat people in the central and eastern regions of the empire to open up the situation for the future development of the Jiang family in this area, and then change the geographical adverse situation of the Jiang family.
After considering the current situation, Jiang Hanqing planned in his mind about the strategies his family should adopt in the new year: First of all, he should try to avoid the rebellion of his family as much as possible. It is not so easy to be a pioneer!
Hiding behind others and waiting for others to start, then stepping forward to clean up the chaos yourself. Naturally, you can gain a good reputation among the people
Secondly, continue to strengthen your grasp of the army
The military power will never be too much
The more troops you have in your hands, the greater your chances of survival
Again, be prepared to prevent the Wang family's rebellion at any time, or the emperor's son suddenly takes action to eliminate dissidents
This kind of thing is not careless at all. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of one thing.
After all, the emperor still has a unique and powerful force in the capital, and the Wang family also has a great advantage because their fiefdom is around the capital.
If they start first, they won't give other families any chance.
If you don't prepare early, you will definitely be dead end
Whether you can escape the enemy's initial thunder strike is the biggest prerequisite for successfully organizing forces to launch a counterattack in the future and then competing for the world.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Hanqing believed that his family could not take the lead and could only passively wait for others to attack, but the danger was very great
Once the Jiang family's information is a little inaccurate, and the enemy will only find out until it takes action, it will be a disaster.
In order to escape smoothly and avoid the miserable end of the whole family's death, Jiang Hanqing decided to advise his father and take some measures to prepare for response in advance
He made suggestions to his father, demanding an expansion of the action to remove family members from the capital
As long as people who do not hold important official positions in the court, try to send them to the fiefdoms in the west, and do not have to stay in the capital together and wait for something to happen.
At the same time, Jiang Hanqing also suggested that his father send someone to prepare for the escape to the fiefdom of the western region in case of emergency
He planned to set up multiple secret strongholds outside the capital, where he arranged a large number of horses, food, and weapons, and to extend these strongholds to the western fiefdom as much as possible.
In this way, if something happens in the capital, as long as you can leave the capital alive, you can rely on these strongholds to escape to the west.
Jiang Haotian naturally adopted these two wise suggestions from his son without hesitation, and immediately sent someone to start implementing them.
Jiang Hanqing also suggested to his father that in the future, he should use all the power in his hands in the court and try every means to dispatch the troops scattered across the country to the west, so that these troops can be concentrated to form a powerful military force without being defeated by the enemy.
Jiang Haotian also agreed with this and agreed to deal with his opponents in the court according to this strategy.
Jiang Hanqing didn't immediately raise one thing to his father
He knew that when his ancestors were building the family compound, they designed a secret path to escape outside the city.
This secret passage has never been used for hundreds of years
Jiang Hanqing hopes that this secret passage will not be used in his lifetime, but he still decides to find an opportunity to ask his father about this, because he feels more and more dangerous atmosphere recently.
He was thinking that perhaps his ancestors in the past had also felt an imminent danger like he is now, and he waited for something to happen countless times, but in the end nothing happened.
Jiang Hanqing understood that this kind of worry is definitely not redundant. Once this kind of worry becomes a reality, the effect will definitely be far beyond the pressure when worrying!
But the smart Jiang Hanqing would never rashly ask his father that he wanted to know the secret of the secret.
Because for a long time, the population and exit location of the secret Taoist are things that only the governors of the past dynasties can know clearly in the Jiang family.
To a certain extent, this secret has even become a kind of emblem of the power of the family governor.
If Jiang Hanqing doesn't make up and then moves and asks his father casually, then Jiang Haotian may think that his son is trying to attack him with power.
After all, in these prominent families of all generations, for the sake of power and interests, father, son and brothers turned against each other and killed each other.
If Jiang Hanqing wants to find a way to test his father, it is best to let him speak out on his own initiative.
In addition, Jiang Hanqing sent someone to send a letter to his mother without telling her father.
The letter naturally expresses his endless longing and admiration for her
At the same time, he also asked his mother to temporarily stop the continuous war with the barbarians of the Western Regions, and the preparation forces are ready to fight against the domestic enemies at any time.
He asked his mother to pay attention to the movements in the capital. Once he found a change, he should immediately advance eastward. With the help of the letter, Jiang Hanqing also told his mother that he was very worried about some people in the family and felt that they might take advantage of the situation to rob the family's power.
In this troublesome period, he asked his mother to be prepared for all mutations, including the possibility of her being required to use force to smash the rebellion in the family and then control all power in the family fiefdom.
If this happens, he hopes that his beloved mother will give him any hesitation even if he needs to throw his father aside!
He even did not vaguely mention in the letter that he might have a conflict with his father in the future, and he would be prepared as his mother who is closest to women.
Jiang Hanqing knew that his affair with his mother would one day let his father know that, in this way, the breakup between father and son would be inevitable.
Under no circumstances will he make himself a loser in the power struggle, even when facing his biological father. It is this idea that drove him to write this letter to his mother.
Jiang Hanqing knew in his heart that his thoughts on the current situation and the conclusions he came to in the past ten days will play a great role in future actions.
He could also imagine that some of the things he did during this period would play a certain role in the future, because this was what he did after careful consideration, and he believed that it was the most correct move at the moment.
But like anyone in history, he could not know how great the impact these measures taken in front of him would have on his life!
During the period when Jiang Hanqing was recovering from his injury, the court's investigation into his attack continued
But just like countless similar events that have happened before, no results can be found in the end
The morning court resumed five days after the New Year
In recent times, the focus of the monarch and ministers' discussion is of course on this attack
The attack in the capital was not found, and the emperor's patience finally exceeded the limit
He was really angry at the court and even cut off the head of the general who was originally responsible for defending the capital for this reason.
And this general is a member of the royal family, and everyone knows that he has always been faithful to the emperor.
From this matter, Jiang Haoyu and his son confirmed that the attack had nothing to do with the emperor.
Because the emperor's actions showed his worries
The father and son of the Jiang family fully understood why he was so angry: such a blatant attack actually happened at the center of his rule. Today is to deal with his subjects, so will he not deal with him tomorrow?
He could tolerate the conspiracy of his ministers behind his back, because this was an inevitable phenomenon of power struggle. He could not eat these ambitious people now, so of course he could only turn a blind eye.
But he could not tolerate such direct incidents of force, because it was a direct threat to him, a complete contempt for his rule, and an extremely dangerous signal.
Although the emperor is becoming increasingly stupid, his grasp of the true face of power struggle is still as sharp as his youth.
He immediately understood the information behind this incident: there was a big problem with his rule!
The emperor handed over the responsibility of defending the capital to the second prince Xu Yu, who had recently been very satisfied with him.
Such a move made everyone wonder whether he would soon establish a new crown prince!
After Jiang Hanqing learned about this, his doubts became deeper
He will not forget the threatening words Xu Yu said to him the night before the assassination. Now the military power in the capital has been handed over to such a person. How could he not worry about this?
He deeply felt that the situation in the capital was becoming more and more complicated!
Moreover, Jiang Hanqing began to feel that this attack was done by Xu Yu?
Did he and the guy hiding behind him have already calculated the emperor's reaction to this incident and deliberately instigated such an incident. In this way, no matter whether he could kill Jiang Hanqing, the enemy, they could use this as an opportunity to successfully seize the military power in the capital?
If this is true, then the enemy hidden behind Xu Yu would be really terrifying
The only thing Jiang Hanqing can be sure of is that the emperor's actions really made the crown prince Xu Sheng feel very anxious this time
During the more than ten days of Jiang Hanqing's recovery, Xu Sheng actually sent people to comfort him four times and sent a lot of rare supplements and medicinal materials to pay tribute to him in the local area.
The sent person also brought a message from Xu Sheng that he hoped to have another interview with him after he recovered from his injury.
However, because Jiang Hanqing had to consider too many things recently, he had no time to calculate the pros and cons of the alliance with Xu Sheng. At the same time, he also wanted to teach Xu Sheng a lesson, so he came to the person sent by the Prince's Mansion to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Although the person who made him very anxious, he had no way to imagine that he could only return from Shanshan again and again.
This day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year
The people in the Jiang family courtyard have been busy preparing for this festival the night before, and decorate the huge courtyard with joy.
In the afternoon, Jiang Hanqing, whose body had basically recovered, was very happy to see everyone's lively appearance. He temporarily threw the problem that had been pondering for more than ten days behind his head, and appeared happily in the courtyard with Bai Yingjue, constantly pointing fingers and instructing their family to do this and that, and directing them to arrange the lighting decorations to watch at night.
Just when everyone was busy, a family member suddenly ran in from outside and told Jiang Hanqingxun: Young Master, Princess Anping is here to see you!
Princess Anping mentioned in this family is Jiang Hanqing's cousin, Jingwen, daughter of Prince Xusheng and Yin Yuji, Jingwen, daughter of Prince Xusheng and Yin Yuji.
Princess Anping is her title in the empire
Jiang Hanqing's brows immediately frowned, and this annoying Xu Sheng sent someone to entangle again!
Although he has always had a good impression of this cousin, he felt that Xu Sheng had shown in recent days was really annoyed, so he was not so happy about the news of his cousin's visit at this moment.
Just as he was trying to find an excuse to send Jingwen back, he heard Bai Yingjue's jealous voice saying: Is that little girl the princess Anping?
Jiang Hanqing looked in the direction of Bai Yingjue's sight. A graceful girl was walking towards him. Who would be his cousin Jingwen?
Only sighed in my heart, but a false smile immediately appeared on my face
His eyes were fixed on the beautiful girl walking towards Yingying, feeling the strong youthful aura emitted from her body, and before he knew it, Bai Yingjue's body leaned into Jiang Hanqing's arms
Jingwen walked to Jiang Hanqing and shouted intimately to Jiang Hanqing: Cousin!
Although he was saying hello to Jiang Hanqing, the girl's eyes had turned to the strange woman who was still snuggling in her cousin's arms.
There was a hint of curiosity in her expression, but more of it was very obvious disdain.
That seemed to be warning Bai Yingjue not to compete with her, the noble granddaughter, for men.
Looking at the arrogant expression of the little girl in front of her, Bai Yingjue suddenly felt anger in her heart, wanting to teach her a lesson on the spot, Miss Yu Jin, who doesn't know how to be tall and thick.
She snorted heavily from her nose, twisted her body and wanted to take it out of Jiang Hanqing's arms.
Although Jiang Hanqing had never had any idea about the cousin in front of him, he also understood that this girl who had just fallen in love secretly liked him.
At this time, when I saw the two women fighting each other, I immediately knew that it was the two women who were competing for themselves.
A sighed in his heart. Jiang Hanqing was thinking about what could attract the attention of the two women from each other.
But I felt the woman in my arms move, and I knew she was going to take off her arms and settle the score with Jingwen.
I screamed in my heart that something was wrong, so I quickly stretched out my hand to wrap my arms around Bai Yingjue's willow waist and stopped her movements
Seeing my cousin reaching out to the woman's waist, Jingwen's eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire, and she stood there with her teeth tightly clenched.
But Bai Yingjue showed her the winner's smug smile at the right time, and Jingwen's face turned pale with anger.
Jiang Hanqing was afraid that the two women who had met for the first time would continue to pester them endlessly, so he quickly coughed and said: Cousin, are there any urgent things for you to come here to find me?
When Jingwen heard her cousin ask her, she ignored Bai Yingjue's widow and turned to Jiang Hanqing and said: Do you have to come to see you if you have urgent matters? They are here to see how your injury has recovered!
Jiang Hanqing stretched out his hand and clenched his fist and slapped him twice in his chest and said: OK! Look, he is as strong as before!
When he was doing this, he gently pushed Bai Yingjue away from his arms
Bai Yingjue glared at him with a little resentment, but didn't say much, quietly stood aside
She was smart and naturally understood that she could not disobey Jiang Hanqing's wishes at this time, otherwise he would not give her any good results in the future.
Seeing my cousin pushing the annoying woman aside, Jingwen's face became a little better, and she smiled at Jiang Hanqing and said: The wounds have healed? That's great! My mother has been worried about your injuries these days. Today, she told me to come and see you.
Oh! Thank you so much for your mother! Alas! I care so much for me, as a nephew, I don’t know how to repay her care! I…
Speaking of this, Jiang Hanqing suddenly remembered something, and reached out to pat his forehead, saying: Alas... Alas! Look at me, my brother, is so dizzy! I have been standing here for a long time! Come and go to my yard to get dust!
As he said that, he turned around and wanted to live in his own yard
But beyond his surprise, Jingwen did not mean to follow him, but just stood there and said: Cousin, no need! I will rush back later and go to the palace with my father to meet the emperor and grandfather!
Oh! Look at me! Haha! I became stupid after being hurt a little! I forgot to follow the rules and follow your family to go to the palace to celebrate the festival with the emperor today. OK! If you have anything, let’s stand here and talk!
Jingwen nodded and said: OK! I finished it in a few words! Actually, there is nothing! It’s just that my parents think you were injured on the way home after going to our house for a banquet, so they feel very guilty and feel sorry for you. My parents mean that they hope you can go to our place again when you have time in a few days.) L, they want to keep you drunk. Jiang Hanqing pretended to look panic and replied hurriedly: This... My injury was because I accidentally fell into the trap of a traitor... It has nothing to do with my uncle and Diao, and aunt. How could they both feel sorry for me? This... Isn’t this the one who killed me as a nephew!
Jingwen felt very funny when she saw him looking anxious, and couldn't help but laughed: Cousin, it's just going to have a meal! Why are you doing so anxious? Actually, I think Ah...it should be just my mother wants to see you. She is just looking for an excuse to let you go!
Jiang Hanqing carefully observed her cousin's expression. Seeing her innocent and romantic look, she obviously didn't understand the meaning hidden behind her parents' actions, and she was immediately touched.
Alas! The little girl still doesn’t know anything, thinking that everything in the world is beautiful! But it’s good, you can live a carefree life all day long, how easy it is!
Jingwen found that her cousin suddenly stopped making a sound, and just stared at her and felt very strange.
Could it be that my clothes are not neatly worn?
Thinking something was wrong with me, Jingwen hurriedly looked down at her clothes, but she didn't notice anything unusual.
I wondered if there was something dirty on my face, so I wiped my face with my sleeves. I looked at the sleeves and saw that they were still white. There should be nothing unclean on my face.
I don’t know what my cousin stared at me, Jingwen raised her head and looked at Jiang Hanqing with a suspicious face. Cousin, what are you...what are you looking at?
Jiang Hanqing was stunned for a moment, woke up from his inexplicable emotion, smiled and shook his head and said: Nothing! I just suddenly remembered some things in my past! Alas! It’s so good to be young!
Seeing this brother who was only a few years older than him, Jingwen felt a little funny when she spoke, and made a face and joked at him: Cousin, you seem to be in your early twenties today, as young as Ah!
Jiang Hanqing looked at her cousin's cute appearance and felt a long-lost feeling of relief.
He temporarily put all the intrigue behind his mind and joked with his cousin: If a person is not old, his heart is old! There is nothing he can do! He is also an old man! Unlike you, he is just like a romance and a bright house, how beautiful!
Jingwen smiled and said: Then you should find a white beard to put it on your chin, rather than a pitiful little piece of it now!
Jiang Hanqing said: Haha! Then I will only ask my cousin to grab a white beard for me! My cousin is not capable of picking this thing by himself, and I can only be the life of a fake old man without beard!
After saying a word, both of them couldn't help laughing. Bai Yingjue, who had been acting angry, showed a smile on his face.
After laughing for a while, Jingwen remembered that her purpose had not been achieved yet, and hurriedly asked: By the way! Cousin, you haven't answered me yet! Where are you going?
Jiang Hanqing restrained his smile and said seriously: Go! Of course! How dare I not listen to my cousin’s instructions! Otherwise, wouldn’t I have never seen the bright moon tonight!
Seeing his serious look, Jingwen still said this kind of joke, and couldn't help but laugh again.
alright!
alright!
Cousin, that's it!
You are a busy person, so I won’t waste your time!
You will be healthy in a few days. Send someone to inform my mother two or three days in advance
Let's prepare well and invite you to come!
All right?
Then what days will you have to wait for? Just set it the night after tomorrow! How about it!
Jingwen said happily: Of course, it’s great! The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow! Don’t regret it when the time comes, let Jingwen be embarrassed in front of her mother!
Seeing that Jiang Hanqing promised very affirmatively, Jingwen felt that she had completed the task of coming here today, so she made peace!
Go back if you want to say goodbye
Jiang Hanqing knew that she was in a hurry to go back to the house and was preparing to go to the palace to meet the emperor at night, so she did not try to keep her.
Seeing her cousin's back gradually fading away, Jiang Hanqing's mouth always had a faint smile
Talking to a girl Jingwen, he doesn't have to think about many messy things like talking to others.
He hasn't felt this kind of relaxed feeling of being at will in many years.
Jiang Hanqing used to never like the naive and tricky girl. She thought they were too childish and there was no point in playing.
But after making a joke with Jingwen so easily today, he began to feel that it was not too uncomfortable to be with such a simple girl.
While he was in a daze, someone stabbed his body, and Bai Yingjue's voice sounded beside him
Everyone has left, what are you still looking at?
Looking at the beautiful woman beside her, Jiang Hanqing smiled awkwardly. Just as she said a few words to hide it, she saw a family member running towards her in a hurry and shouting from afar.
Young Master... Young Master... Chen Bin and the others are back! Chen Bin is back!
Jiang Hanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard the screams of her family.
He always thought that Chen Bin and his party would take at least half a month to return to Beijing, but he never thought that they would return so soon
Chen Bin is back? It’s great! Where is he? Take me to see him!
Jiang Hanqing said and waved his hand, signaling his family to lead the way to meet Chen Bin
Young Master...them...all of them were injured! Now they have been arranged by Young Master Fengxian to rest in a house in the outer courtyard, waiting for you to come!
Jiang Hanqing was shocked by his family's answer
What? Are you injured? Which Russian? Why don’t you take me to take me to see it!
Under Jiang Hanqing's repeated urging, the family did not dare to be negligent at all, so they hurriedly turned around and rushed to the outer courtyard with Jiang Hanqing and Bai Yingjue
Bai Yingjue is still by his side, and Jiang Fengqin has gone back to her yard to rest
Jiang Hanqing woke up this time and her physical condition had improved a lot. With the help of Bai Yingjue, she was able to get out of bed and walk around.
Just then, his father Jiang Haoyu came to see him, and he was very happy when he saw him.
It’s good to be young! After so much blood, the wound is still a little inflamed, and it’s fine after lying for two days! If it were our old men, if we don’t die, we will definitely lose our skin! How could it be as fast as you recover? Alas! I’m old!
Looking at his son walking slowly in the courtyard with the help of others, Jiang Haoyu's words were filled with the feeling of time being unforgiving.
Jiang Hanqing Shanshan smiled and said: Father, you are making fun of your son! My father is in his prime, how come he gets old?
Jiang Haoyu sighed with a wry smile, turned around and walked into the house. Jiang Hanqing saw that his father had clearly said something to say to him, so he hurriedly signaled Bai Yingjue to help him into the house.
As soon as the father and son were settled, Jiang Haoyu spoke: Tell me carefully about your attack!
Jiang Hanqing did not dare to neglect and hurriedly told his father what happened that night he was attacked.
After hearing this, Jiang Haoyu's face was very gloomy and he pondered for a long time without saying a word
Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Jiang Hanqing took the initiative to speak: Regarding what happened that night, the child quickly sorted out his thoughts, but he had some of his own opinions.
Jiang Haoyu gave his son a fat look and nodded: OK! Let me tell you your own opinion first!
Jiang Hanqing said: The person who presided over the conspiracy must be very clear about the situation of the child and has been planning for a long time. He has observed the daily course of action very carefully and has long figured out the rules of my action. He knew that after I came out of the Prince's Mansion, I usually took the road that night to attack and returned to the compound. If this is not the case, ordinary people should be on the main road and would never ambush in the prosperous city.
Jiang Haoyu nodded with a serious expression and said with certainty: Not bad! I think so too! This guy has long paid attention to your actions! Maybe he is still a person who is very familiar with you. When Jiang Haoyu said this, his face was very vicious.
After Jiang Hanqing finished speaking, he continued: The place where the group of people were ambushing that night was so accurate. One was that he had a very clear grasp of the child's usual course of action as the child said, and the other also showed that the other party was very clear about my whereabouts, at least he knew that I was going to go to the prince's mansion to attend the banquet that night!
Who knew that night that you were going to the Prince's Mansion to attend a banquet?
Jiang Haoyu obviously agreed with his son's point of view, so he hurriedly asked his son.
There is no need to say about Xu Sheng and his uncle, as well as Xu Yu and his wife and many family members in the Prince's Mansion.
In addition, there are several families in our family who know about this, and they don't know who they have disclosed this news to.
When Jiang Haoyu heard that so many people knew about this, he frowned and said: Are so many people know about this? Then there is no way to investigate this matter!
Jiang Hanqing said: Yes! From this clue, it seems that there will be no good results.
Jiang Haoyu stood up, turned around the room for a few times and said to his son with a cautious expression: Son Ah, this is what I think about this: it is absolutely impossible for the emperor or Wang Mingde to do it! The two of them will never be so stupid as to do such a thankless stupid thing!
Jiang Hanqing also nodded and said: The child also thinks so much about this! The person who planned this matter must be able to obtain the most direct benefits from my death. For the emperor and Wang Mingde, when the situation is very delicate, they cannot take rash actions for me and make them look like me. Even if people like me are eliminated, they will not get much benefit. Instead, it will arouse suspicion and caution from other forces. It will be even more difficult for them to take any action in the future!
Jiang Haoyu didn't say anything at this time, but just kept twisting the beard on his chin with his fingers, looking a little out of his mind, as if he was hesitating about something
Looking at his father who was pondering, Jiang Hanqing continued: There was a person among the assassins that day. The child always felt that his voice was a little familiar. Although he couldn't remember who he was, it was certain that the child had definitely heard his voice somewhere, otherwise he wouldn't have that feeling.
Jiang Haoyu suddenly raised his head, a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said fiercely: Since you think this voice is familiar, then you must have heard of it. This person may not be familiar with you! No matter what, judging from the current situation, I think that this bastard is the most suspicious of this incident!
Looking at the father with a fierce expression in front of him, Jiang Hanqing said in a deep voice: My thoughts are the same as my father! Most of the people who do this are...
Suddenly seeing my father glaring at him and realizing that he was wrong, Jiang Hanqing swallowed the name he was about to spit out, and paused and continued: Hehe! Recently, we are doubting that the Wang family is going to rebel. He chose to act at such a sensitive moment before the New Year to shift everyone's attention to the Wang family. Moreover, when I was injured, everyone will be furious and abnormal, and they will not doubt anything else. Hum! His abacus is really loud! Unfortunately, the child is not as cowardly as he imagined, and he did not die under the assassins.
Jiang Hao and Xishuiling continued with a smile: What's even more regrettable is that you, my father and son are not as idiotic as he thought! They didn't focus on Wang Mingde or the emperor as he wanted. This guy has been wearing a fake mask for so many years, and has been unable to stand out now... Hehe... He is finally unwilling to be lonely, and the fox's tail is about to be revealed!
Bai Yingjue listened to the conversation between the father and son, but never said anything.
She knew that such aristocratic families had very strict requirements on their women. When the people in power spoke, women could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they would never speak casually.
But now listening to the conversation between father and son, they had clearly guessed who did it, but they didn't say the person's name in front of her.
Bai Yingjue was very curious. Who dared to attack Jiang Hanqing?
And from the tone of the two people, the suspect seemed to be the one they were very familiar with.
The strong curiosity finally drove Bai Yingjue to ask: Do you know who did it? What is his name? Is he... his own person in the family?
Jiang Haoyu glanced at Bai Yingjue without answering, but his face suddenly became much ugly again
I will naturally go to Shizhe for this matter and you can rest assured to recover from your injuries! Well... I think you can't rest now! Alas!
After he turned his head and said this to Jiang Hanqing, he ignored the two of them and left with his own strength
I didn't look at Bai Yingjue again before leaving
Looking at Jiang Haoyu's back as he left, Bai Yingjue said with a sad face: Qing, it seems... your father really doesn't welcome a woman like me to fight with you!
Jiang Hanqing sighed and said with a forced smile: Don’t think about it! This is just that my father is in a bad mood after I was injured! If he really didn’t like you, he would have driven you away long ago!
Bai Yingjue shook his head and said sadly: You don’t need to comfort me! Of course he won’t drive me away! I am already your woman. Even if he doesn’t like me, he will give his son some face! But I know that in his eyes, I am just a vixen used to satisfy his son’s sexual desire, and I can’t be considered a woman from your Jiang family!
Jiang Hanqing looked at Bai Yingjue complaining about herself, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her. She could only sigh and walked to the side of the house and dusted herself.
For a moment, two people in the room stopped talking, and they were thinking about their own thoughts stupidly.
In the following days, since Jiang Hanqing had woken up, Li Huaxin also began to take care of him every day on the grounds of visiting his condition.
Under the care and love of Bai Yingjue and Li Huaxin, Jiang Hanqing's body recovered quickly, and in more than ten days, he became lively again.
In this rare leisure time of more than ten days, Jiang Hanqing quietly thought about his life and his future path.
In his life, he never thought about something so seriously
All the things that happened in the past year made Jiang Hanqing realize that the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty would not last long.
The empire at this moment is nothing more than a decayed house with a huge structure
Its appearance looks so huge and attractive, but it has long been decayed inside. Just a little external force will cause the entire empire to collapse. 0 Jiang Hanqing knows that this house will collapse sooner or later, but he is not sure when the collapse of the empire will happen. Maybe it will happen in the new year, and maybe it will have to wait for many years.
No matter what, Jiang Hanqing is very clear about one thing. For someone like him who is trying to seize the throne of the emperor, every day from now on cannot be wasted.
What makes Jiang Hanqing feel the most is undoubtedly the problem of the Xianzong and the saints.
Since he is a member of the Holy Gate Yin Sect, Jiang Hanqing knows more than anyone else how powerful these guys have
But the capital is so big, where should I go to find these invisible enemies?
Are there really hidden spies from the exoteric sect in their home?
Have the saints really entered the palace?
Jiang Hanqing must find the answer to these questions as soon as possible, otherwise what is waiting for him will undoubtedly be a huge problem.
Although he had this understanding, Jiang Hanqing had not yet come up with a good way to search for the enemy's traces at this time.
Without any clues, how could he identify who he was looking for out of thin air?
Put aside the enemy in this dark for the time being. In the current court, the biggest enemy of the Jiang family is undoubtedly the Wang family of Dingguo Duke
After more than 600 years of hard work, the huge power owned by the Wang family is undoubtedly very terrifying, but even the Jiang family is not very clear about the specific strength.
Jiang Hanqing believes that although the Wang family is not as good as the Jiang family on the surface, they must have hidden a lot of unknown power in private.
For such a huge enemy with a long history, overestimating its strength is definitely more beneficial than underestimating it
The recent performance of the Wang family also made Jiang Hanqing more or less suspicious.
Especially Wang Siting's handling of controlling the power of Concubine Qingsi made Jiang Hanqing very worried.
He never believed that it would be a stupid thing the Wang family did without reason
He made a secret decision in his heart that after his injury healed, he must spend more time to find out what conspiracy the Wang family is doing.
I hope they don't want to rebel before the Jiang family is ready
As for the Anguogong family, although their power has been deteriorating in recent years, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
What's more, the Li family also has a peerless general like Shi Yanying. Once the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Flying Eagle Legion are passed, it is definitely not simple.
Compared with Jiang, Wang, Li and Sanjia, the Zou family are indeed too small and are all mediocre people. Jiang Hanqing really feels nothing to worry about.
After carefully thinking about the power comparison of the four major families, Jiang Hanqing gradually had a clear background on the different policies he should take when dealing with his relationship with the other three families in the future.
Join the weakest Zou family to form a temporary alliance; on this basis, win over the Li family in the middle, and try their best to secretly find ways to stimulate the existing conflict between Shi Yanying and the Li family, and strive to promote the final break between the two; and for the isolated biggest enemy, the Wang family, it is naturally to do everything possible to give Ziqi a fatal blow!
As for the imperial royal family, Jiang Hanqing didn't care much about it
The increasingly stupid emperor will not be a particularly big threat to anyone, especially when the army he controlled has been damaged in the war against the Qiute people.
All he needs to pay attention to is that he cannot be too revealing in front of the emperor.
Although the Crown Prince Xu Sheng has always followed the rules, his lack of personal ability has always made it difficult for him to accomplish great things.
What is particularly important is that this heir to the throne is still a suspicious person with a narrow temperament
Just like what happened that night Jiang Hanqing was attacked, Yin Yuji originally hoped that both sides could work together, but Xu Sheng was hesitant because he couldn't let go of his prejudices. In the end, he missed the opportunity because of the interruption of a vixen.
Jiang Hanqing is almost certain that one day Xu Sheng will definitely fail miserably because of this fatal flaw.
The second prince Xuyu has found a backer recently, so he has become increasingly arrogant.
But this guy himself is just a fool. Jiang Hanqing is sure that he can't make any big scenes. Jiang Hanqing is quite concerned about the forces hidden behind Xu Yu.
Although the other party's identity is still unclear, since he dares to intervene in the core political struggle, his strength is naturally unquestionable.
But if the other party has strong strength, why would he choose Xuyu, a fool, to serve as the spokesperson in the court?
Jiang Hanqing has always been full of doubts about this
He concluded that the other party just wanted to use the stupid Xuyu for a short time, but what kind of effect would this play? After a long time of thinking, Jiang Hanqing had to temporarily throw it away. Jiang Hanqing had also estimated that he had taken the initiative to cause trouble in the past few days, but in the end he gave up this idea, for four reasons.
First, unless the Jiang family can capture all the other three Duke families and the imperial royal family at the beginning of the uprising, the Jiang family will face a huge force that cannot be matched by several unmatched forces.
In fact, Jiang Hanqing clearly knew that his family was not capable of doing this
Compared with the Wang family whose fief is near the capital, the Jiang family is at an absolute disadvantage in this regard.
Secondly, although the Jiang family has a large number of elite troops, will the army with the unjust reputation maintain strong morale when the Jiang family takes the initiative to rebel?
No one dares to take this risk easily!
What's more, although the army that the Jiang family now has has a certain advantage over other forces, it does not mean that they can win and not lose.
Third, the Jiang family has many supporters among the people, because they have always had a good reputation in the country.
But once the Jiang family has had trouble and the people in the world are in dire straits from then on, will they still have a good impression of the rioters who launched the rebellion and trapped the people in dire straits?
No one can think of this question to know the correct answer
Those who do not win the hearts of the people want to win the world, but no one has ever been able to succeed since ancient times!
Fourth, although the Jiang family has a large fiefdom in the western part of the empire, most of these kings are emerging areas gradually expanded after the founding of the empire. Most of them were relatively poor and impoverished.
With the efforts of the Jiang family for many years, these areas have gradually become rich, but their position in the imperial political territory is still insignificant and has never been very strategic in maintaining the existence and development of the empire.
Strictly speaking, these kings only provide some luxurious raw materials for production for the empire. That is to say, with these lands, the empire will have more resources and the people's lives will be richer; without these lands, the empire will also exist and develop.
In the traditional bases on which the empire was founded, the central and northern regions of the empire, and even the relatively poor southern and eastern regions, the Jiang family had almost no influence.
If the Jiang family took the initiative to launch a rebellion, they would basically not be able to get any strong support in the hinterland of the empire. They could only attack Yiyang's own strength step by step. The difficulty can be imagined.
The Jiang family's sphere of influence is often described as a remote place in the west, which is why
When he was at Sanchakou, Jiang Hanqing valued his grandson Xiáng He so much. One was because this person was indeed capable, and the other was to use him to beat people in the central and eastern regions of the empire to open up the situation for the future development of the Jiang family in this area, and then change the geographical adverse situation of the Jiang family.
After considering the current situation, Jiang Hanqing planned in his mind about the strategies his family should adopt in the new year: First of all, he should try to avoid the rebellion of his family as much as possible. It is not so easy to be a pioneer!
Hiding behind others and waiting for others to start, then stepping forward to clean up the chaos yourself. Naturally, you can gain a good reputation among the people
Secondly, continue to strengthen your grasp of the army
The military power will never be too much
The more troops you have in your hands, the greater your chances of survival
Again, be prepared to prevent the Wang family's rebellion at any time, or the emperor's son suddenly takes action to eliminate dissidents
This kind of thing is not careless at all. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of one thing.
After all, the emperor still has a unique and powerful force in the capital, and the Wang family also has a great advantage because their fiefdom is around the capital.
If they start first, they won't give other families any chance.
If you don't prepare early, you will definitely be dead end
Whether you can escape the enemy's initial thunder strike is the biggest prerequisite for successfully organizing forces to launch a counterattack in the future and then competing for the world.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Hanqing believed that his family could not take the lead and could only passively wait for others to attack, but the danger was very great
Once the Jiang family's information is a little inaccurate, and the enemy will only find out until it takes action, it will be a disaster.
In order to escape smoothly and avoid the miserable end of the whole family's death, Jiang Hanqing decided to advise his father and take some measures to prepare for response in advance
He made suggestions to his father, demanding an expansion of the action to remove family members from the capital
As long as people who do not hold important official positions in the court, try to send them to the fiefdoms in the west, and do not have to stay in the capital together and wait for something to happen.
At the same time, Jiang Hanqing also suggested that his father send someone to prepare for the escape to the fiefdom of the western region in case of emergency
He planned to set up multiple secret strongholds outside the capital, where he arranged a large number of horses, food, and weapons, and to extend these strongholds to the western fiefdom as much as possible.
In this way, if something happens in the capital, as long as you can leave the capital alive, you can rely on these strongholds to escape to the west.
Jiang Haotian naturally adopted these two wise suggestions from his son without hesitation, and immediately sent someone to start implementing them.
Jiang Hanqing also suggested to his father that in the future, he should use all the power in his hands in the court and try every means to dispatch the troops scattered across the country to the west, so that these troops can be concentrated to form a powerful military force without being defeated by the enemy.
Jiang Haotian also agreed with this and agreed to deal with his opponents in the court according to this strategy.
Jiang Hanqing didn't immediately raise one thing to his father
He knew that when his ancestors were building the family compound, they designed a secret path to escape outside the city.
This secret passage has never been used for hundreds of years
Jiang Hanqing hopes that this secret passage will not be used in his lifetime, but he still decides to find an opportunity to ask his father about this, because he feels more and more dangerous atmosphere recently.
He was thinking that perhaps his ancestors in the past had also felt an imminent danger like he is now, and he waited for something to happen countless times, but in the end nothing happened.
Jiang Hanqing understood that this kind of worry is definitely not redundant. Once this kind of worry becomes a reality, the effect will definitely be far beyond the pressure when worrying!
But the smart Jiang Hanqing would never rashly ask his father that he wanted to know the secret of the secret.
Because for a long time, the population and exit location of the secret Taoist are things that only the governors of the past dynasties can know clearly in the Jiang family.
To a certain extent, this secret has even become a kind of emblem of the power of the family governor.
If Jiang Hanqing doesn't make up and then moves and asks his father casually, then Jiang Haotian may think that his son is trying to attack him with power.
After all, in these prominent families of all generations, for the sake of power and interests, father, son and brothers turned against each other and killed each other.
If Jiang Hanqing wants to find a way to test his father, it is best to let him speak out on his own initiative.
In addition, Jiang Hanqing sent someone to send a letter to his mother without telling her father.
The letter naturally expresses his endless longing and admiration for her
At the same time, he also asked his mother to temporarily stop the continuous war with the barbarians of the Western Regions, and the preparation forces are ready to fight against the domestic enemies at any time.
He asked his mother to pay attention to the movements in the capital. Once he found a change, he should immediately advance eastward. With the help of the letter, Jiang Hanqing also told his mother that he was very worried about some people in the family and felt that they might take advantage of the situation to rob the family's power.
In this troublesome period, he asked his mother to be prepared for all mutations, including the possibility of her being required to use force to smash the rebellion in the family and then control all power in the family fiefdom.
If this happens, he hopes that his beloved mother will give him any hesitation even if he needs to throw his father aside!
He even did not vaguely mention in the letter that he might have a conflict with his father in the future, and he would be prepared as his mother who is closest to women.
Jiang Hanqing knew that his affair with his mother would one day let his father know that, in this way, the breakup between father and son would be inevitable.
Under no circumstances will he make himself a loser in the power struggle, even when facing his biological father. It is this idea that drove him to write this letter to his mother.
Jiang Hanqing knew in his heart that his thoughts on the current situation and the conclusions he came to in the past ten days will play a great role in future actions.
He could also imagine that some of the things he did during this period would play a certain role in the future, because this was what he did after careful consideration, and he believed that it was the most correct move at the moment.
But like anyone in history, he could not know how great the impact these measures taken in front of him would have on his life!
During the period when Jiang Hanqing was recovering from his injury, the court's investigation into his attack continued
But just like countless similar events that have happened before, no results can be found in the end
The morning court resumed five days after the New Year
In recent times, the focus of the monarch and ministers' discussion is of course on this attack
The attack in the capital was not found, and the emperor's patience finally exceeded the limit
He was really angry at the court and even cut off the head of the general who was originally responsible for defending the capital for this reason.
And this general is a member of the royal family, and everyone knows that he has always been faithful to the emperor.
From this matter, Jiang Haoyu and his son confirmed that the attack had nothing to do with the emperor.
Because the emperor's actions showed his worries
The father and son of the Jiang family fully understood why he was so angry: such a blatant attack actually happened at the center of his rule. Today is to deal with his subjects, so will he not deal with him tomorrow?
He could tolerate the conspiracy of his ministers behind his back, because this was an inevitable phenomenon of power struggle. He could not eat these ambitious people now, so of course he could only turn a blind eye.
But he could not tolerate such direct incidents of force, because it was a direct threat to him, a complete contempt for his rule, and an extremely dangerous signal.
Although the emperor is becoming increasingly stupid, his grasp of the true face of power struggle is still as sharp as his youth.
He immediately understood the information behind this incident: there was a big problem with his rule!
The emperor handed over the responsibility of defending the capital to the second prince Xu Yu, who had recently been very satisfied with him.
Such a move made everyone wonder whether he would soon establish a new crown prince!
After Jiang Hanqing learned about this, his doubts became deeper
He will not forget the threatening words Xu Yu said to him the night before the assassination. Now the military power in the capital has been handed over to such a person. How could he not worry about this?
He deeply felt that the situation in the capital was becoming more and more complicated!
Moreover, Jiang Hanqing began to feel that this attack was done by Xu Yu?
Did he and the guy hiding behind him have already calculated the emperor's reaction to this incident and deliberately instigated such an incident. In this way, no matter whether he could kill Jiang Hanqing, the enemy, they could use this as an opportunity to successfully seize the military power in the capital?
If this is true, then the enemy hidden behind Xu Yu would be really terrifying
The only thing Jiang Hanqing can be sure of is that the emperor's actions really made the crown prince Xu Sheng feel very anxious this time
During the more than ten days of Jiang Hanqing's recovery, Xu Sheng actually sent people to comfort him four times and sent a lot of rare supplements and medicinal materials to pay tribute to him in the local area.
The sent person also brought a message from Xu Sheng that he hoped to have another interview with him after he recovered from his injury.
However, because Jiang Hanqing had to consider too many things recently, he had no time to calculate the pros and cons of the alliance with Xu Sheng. At the same time, he also wanted to teach Xu Sheng a lesson, so he came to the person sent by the Prince's Mansion to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Although the person who made him very anxious, he had no way to imagine that he could only return from Shanshan again and again.
This day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year
The people in the Jiang family courtyard have been busy preparing for this festival the night before, and decorate the huge courtyard with joy.
In the afternoon, Jiang Hanqing, whose body had basically recovered, was very happy to see everyone's lively appearance. He temporarily threw the problem that had been pondering for more than ten days behind his head, and appeared happily in the courtyard with Bai Yingjue, constantly pointing fingers and instructing their family to do this and that, and directing them to arrange the lighting decorations to watch at night.
Just when everyone was busy, a family member suddenly ran in from outside and told Jiang Hanqingxun: Young Master, Princess Anping is here to see you!
Princess Anping mentioned in this family is Jiang Hanqing's cousin, Jingwen, daughter of Prince Xusheng and Yin Yuji, Jingwen, daughter of Prince Xusheng and Yin Yuji.
Princess Anping is her title in the empire
Jiang Hanqing's brows immediately frowned, and this annoying Xu Sheng sent someone to entangle again!
Although he has always had a good impression of this cousin, he felt that Xu Sheng had shown in recent days was really annoyed, so he was not so happy about the news of his cousin's visit at this moment.
Just as he was trying to find an excuse to send Jingwen back, he heard Bai Yingjue's jealous voice saying: Is that little girl the princess Anping?
Jiang Hanqing looked in the direction of Bai Yingjue's sight. A graceful girl was walking towards him. Who would be his cousin Jingwen?
Only sighed in my heart, but a false smile immediately appeared on my face
His eyes were fixed on the beautiful girl walking towards Yingying, feeling the strong youthful aura emitted from her body, and before he knew it, Bai Yingjue's body leaned into Jiang Hanqing's arms
Jingwen walked to Jiang Hanqing and shouted intimately to Jiang Hanqing: Cousin!
Although he was saying hello to Jiang Hanqing, the girl's eyes had turned to the strange woman who was still snuggling in her cousin's arms.
There was a hint of curiosity in her expression, but more of it was very obvious disdain.
That seemed to be warning Bai Yingjue not to compete with her, the noble granddaughter, for men.
Looking at the arrogant expression of the little girl in front of her, Bai Yingjue suddenly felt anger in her heart, wanting to teach her a lesson on the spot, Miss Yu Jin, who doesn't know how to be tall and thick.
She snorted heavily from her nose, twisted her body and wanted to take it out of Jiang Hanqing's arms.
Although Jiang Hanqing had never had any idea about the cousin in front of him, he also understood that this girl who had just fallen in love secretly liked him.
At this time, when I saw the two women fighting each other, I immediately knew that it was the two women who were competing for themselves.
A sighed in his heart. Jiang Hanqing was thinking about what could attract the attention of the two women from each other.
But I felt the woman in my arms move, and I knew she was going to take off her arms and settle the score with Jingwen.
I screamed in my heart that something was wrong, so I quickly stretched out my hand to wrap my arms around Bai Yingjue's willow waist and stopped her movements
Seeing my cousin reaching out to the woman's waist, Jingwen's eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire, and she stood there with her teeth tightly clenched.
But Bai Yingjue showed her the winner's smug smile at the right time, and Jingwen's face turned pale with anger.
Jiang Hanqing was afraid that the two women who had met for the first time would continue to pester them endlessly, so he quickly coughed and said: Cousin, are there any urgent things for you to come here to find me?
When Jingwen heard her cousin ask her, she ignored Bai Yingjue's widow and turned to Jiang Hanqing and said: Do you have to come to see you if you have urgent matters? They are here to see how your injury has recovered!
Jiang Hanqing stretched out his hand and clenched his fist and slapped him twice in his chest and said: OK! Look, he is as strong as before!
When he was doing this, he gently pushed Bai Yingjue away from his arms
Bai Yingjue glared at him with a little resentment, but didn't say much, quietly stood aside
She was smart and naturally understood that she could not disobey Jiang Hanqing's wishes at this time, otherwise he would not give her any good results in the future.
Seeing my cousin pushing the annoying woman aside, Jingwen's face became a little better, and she smiled at Jiang Hanqing and said: The wounds have healed? That's great! My mother has been worried about your injuries these days. Today, she told me to come and see you.
Oh! Thank you so much for your mother! Alas! I care so much for me, as a nephew, I don’t know how to repay her care! I…
Speaking of this, Jiang Hanqing suddenly remembered something, and reached out to pat his forehead, saying: Alas... Alas! Look at me, my brother, is so dizzy! I have been standing here for a long time! Come and go to my yard to get dust!
As he said that, he turned around and wanted to live in his own yard
But beyond his surprise, Jingwen did not mean to follow him, but just stood there and said: Cousin, no need! I will rush back later and go to the palace with my father to meet the emperor and grandfather!
Oh! Look at me! Haha! I became stupid after being hurt a little! I forgot to follow the rules and follow your family to go to the palace to celebrate the festival with the emperor today. OK! If you have anything, let’s stand here and talk!
Jingwen nodded and said: OK! I finished it in a few words! Actually, there is nothing! It’s just that my parents think you were injured on the way home after going to our house for a banquet, so they feel very guilty and feel sorry for you. My parents mean that they hope you can go to our place again when you have time in a few days.) L, they want to keep you drunk. Jiang Hanqing pretended to look panic and replied hurriedly: This... My injury was because I accidentally fell into the trap of a traitor... It has nothing to do with my uncle and Diao, and aunt. How could they both feel sorry for me? This... Isn’t this the one who killed me as a nephew!
Jingwen felt very funny when she saw him looking anxious, and couldn't help but laughed: Cousin, it's just going to have a meal! Why are you doing so anxious? Actually, I think Ah...it should be just my mother wants to see you. She is just looking for an excuse to let you go!
Jiang Hanqing carefully observed her cousin's expression. Seeing her innocent and romantic look, she obviously didn't understand the meaning hidden behind her parents' actions, and she was immediately touched.
Alas! The little girl still doesn’t know anything, thinking that everything in the world is beautiful! But it’s good, you can live a carefree life all day long, how easy it is!
Jingwen found that her cousin suddenly stopped making a sound, and just stared at her and felt very strange.
Could it be that my clothes are not neatly worn?
Thinking something was wrong with me, Jingwen hurriedly looked down at her clothes, but she didn't notice anything unusual.
I wondered if there was something dirty on my face, so I wiped my face with my sleeves. I looked at the sleeves and saw that they were still white. There should be nothing unclean on my face.
I don’t know what my cousin stared at me, Jingwen raised her head and looked at Jiang Hanqing with a suspicious face. Cousin, what are you...what are you looking at?
Jiang Hanqing was stunned for a moment, woke up from his inexplicable emotion, smiled and shook his head and said: Nothing! I just suddenly remembered some things in my past! Alas! It’s so good to be young!
Seeing this brother who was only a few years older than him, Jingwen felt a little funny when she spoke, and made a face and joked at him: Cousin, you seem to be in your early twenties today, as young as Ah!
Jiang Hanqing looked at her cousin's cute appearance and felt a long-lost feeling of relief.
He temporarily put all the intrigue behind his mind and joked with his cousin: If a person is not old, his heart is old! There is nothing he can do! He is also an old man! Unlike you, he is just like a romance and a bright house, how beautiful!
Jingwen smiled and said: Then you should find a white beard to put it on your chin, rather than a pitiful little piece of it now!
Jiang Hanqing said: Haha! Then I will only ask my cousin to grab a white beard for me! My cousin is not capable of picking this thing by himself, and I can only be the life of a fake old man without beard!
After saying a word, both of them couldn't help laughing. Bai Yingjue, who had been acting angry, showed a smile on his face.
After laughing for a while, Jingwen remembered that her purpose had not been achieved yet, and hurriedly asked: By the way! Cousin, you haven't answered me yet! Where are you going?
Jiang Hanqing restrained his smile and said seriously: Go! Of course! How dare I not listen to my cousin’s instructions! Otherwise, wouldn’t I have never seen the bright moon tonight!
Seeing his serious look, Jingwen still said this kind of joke, and couldn't help but laugh again.
alright!
alright!
Cousin, that's it!
You are a busy person, so I won’t waste your time!
You will be healthy in a few days. Send someone to inform my mother two or three days in advance
Let's prepare well and invite you to come!
All right?
Then what days will you have to wait for? Just set it the night after tomorrow! How about it!
Jingwen said happily: Of course, it’s great! The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow! Don’t regret it when the time comes, let Jingwen be embarrassed in front of her mother!
Seeing that Jiang Hanqing promised very affirmatively, Jingwen felt that she had completed the task of coming here today, so she made peace!
Go back if you want to say goodbye
Jiang Hanqing knew that she was in a hurry to go back to the house and was preparing to go to the palace to meet the emperor at night, so she did not try to keep her.
Seeing her cousin's back gradually fading away, Jiang Hanqing's mouth always had a faint smile
Talking to a girl Jingwen, he doesn't have to think about many messy things like talking to others.
He hasn't felt this kind of relaxed feeling of being at will in many years.
Jiang Hanqing used to never like the naive and tricky girl. She thought they were too childish and there was no point in playing.
But after making a joke with Jingwen so easily today, he began to feel that it was not too uncomfortable to be with such a simple girl.
While he was in a daze, someone stabbed his body, and Bai Yingjue's voice sounded beside him
Everyone has left, what are you still looking at?
Looking at the beautiful woman beside her, Jiang Hanqing smiled awkwardly. Just as she said a few words to hide it, she saw a family member running towards her in a hurry and shouting from afar.
Young Master... Young Master... Chen Bin and the others are back! Chen Bin is back!
Jiang Hanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard the screams of her family.
He always thought that Chen Bin and his party would take at least half a month to return to Beijing, but he never thought that they would return so soon
Chen Bin is back? It’s great! Where is he? Take me to see him!
Jiang Hanqing said and waved his hand, signaling his family to lead the way to meet Chen Bin
Young Master...them...all of them were injured! Now they have been arranged by Young Master Fengxian to rest in a house in the outer courtyard, waiting for you to come!
Jiang Hanqing was shocked by his family's answer
What? Are you injured? Which Russian? Why don’t you take me to take me to see it!
Under Jiang Hanqing's repeated urging, the family did not dare to be negligent at all, so they hurriedly turned around and rushed to the outer courtyard with Jiang Hanqing and Bai Yingjue
