Chapter 35
Although Wen Zhemao's affair with the concubine was not made public, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wen Zhemao had lost the emperor's favor.

Su Wang's party bad-mouthed, it was Wen Zhehan's chance.

As long as the means are appropriate, it is easy to completely disintegrate Wen Zhemao's power and cut off the possibility of Wen Zhemao's ascension to the throne.

What's more, Wen Zhehan himself is backed by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and almost all the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty are his supporters.With the support of Guo Youning, the Marquis of Zhenbei, the guard of the northern border, Wen Zhemao would have no chance of winning as long as he got the support of troops from the western or southern borders.

Before coming to the Chung Yeung Autumn Banquet, Yan Qing originally thought that Wen Zhehan was trying to win him over, hoping to gain the support of the soldiers and civilians in Xijiang.

Although she is only a young border guard in Xijiang now, relying on the Yan family's century-old management in Xijiang, if she wants to regain the actual control of Xijiang, it is not difficult.

This is well known to most people in the capital, so they took advantage of the time she was trapped in the capital to send people to the western border, intending to carve up the century-old business of the Yan family in the western border.

It's just that they probably didn't expect that Meng Shulan would take over Xijiang, and they actually handed over all the century-old management of the Yan family to him.

The fragment of "Wei Liao Zi" not only marked the topography of Western Xinjiang, but also the military layout of the entire Yan family army, as well as the various livelihoods of the Yan family in various cities in Western Xinjiang.

Ever since she promised her mother to go back to the north, she never thought about going back to the western border.

It's just that although I have delivered all of the Yan family's century-old management, it may not be able to help.

The rich and powerful oppressed people, if Wen Zhemao came to power, the soldiers loyal to the Yan family in Xijiang would certainly not escape the fate of being purged in the previous life.

So when she got involved in the dispute between the two sons for the title, she made up her mind to push Wen Zhehan as the heir apparent.

It's just that she knew very little about Wen Zhehan in her previous life, so she wanted to use this autumn banquet to learn a little bit about Wen Zhehan, and at the same time, she wanted to find out about Wen Zhehan.

But I didn't expect that when I was about to leave, I accidentally learned that Yan Qiwei had revenge thoughts, and I was trapped in my own thoughts for a while, but I took this banquet full of talents and beauties as a banquet for ordinary nobles to have fun.

If it wasn't for Li Wanrou's trouble, she would have ignored the hidden meaning and believed the rumors that Prince Duan wanted to meet Princess Duan at the autumn banquet.

Thinking about it now, as the prince, Wen Zhehan would definitely not be able to blatantly win over the courtiers when Wen Zhemao had just lost power. This would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion and dislike.

But if it is an excuse to see the princess and invite the dignitaries and young ladies of the capital to gather together for a banquet and have fun, it will naturally make people unable to say anything wrong.

However, those courtiers could not directly disclose their intention to stand in line, but they could convey it to Wen Zhehan through their sons and daughters.

After figuring this out, Yan Qing finally understood the twists and turns in the autumn feast.

The calculations in the capital, the city that is deeply immersed in the center of power, are the ones that can't be explained endlessly by thousands of tactics!

Now looking at the situation where Li Wanrou was ridiculed by the crowd, Yan Qing understood the families represented by these people at the banquet. Even if they did not support Wen Zhehan, they certainly would not be Wen Zhemao's supporters.

The Zhennanhou Mansion behind Li Wanrou is still supporting Wen Zhemao at this time. As the concubine of the Zhennanhou Mansion, Li Wanrou's current situation is like a sheep in a wolf's den. How could she not be excluded by everyone?
It is estimated that those who supported her at the beginning were betrayed by Su Wang's party.

Seeing that Wen Zhehan has no good feelings towards Li Wanrou, they naturally turned around and saw Li Wanrou's joke.

Seeing Li Wanrou sitting down with an awkward face, Yan Qing's eyes flickered with deep thought.

It was indeed the first time she saw Li Wanrou, but it was not the first time she heard of this name.

In the previous life, after Wen Zhemao ascended the throne, he quickly defeated Yan Kangping in the war, resulting in the loss of more than half of the soldiers and civilians in Western Xinjiang.Then he was exiled for greedy ink, and Yan Kangping died on the road of exile.

When Yan Kangping died, Yan Ling'er, who hadn't waited for the imperial decree, was sent to the Dragon Palace first.

Almost at the same time, Wen Zhemao announced that Li Wanrou, the only daughter of Li Dingshan, Marquis of the South of the Town, would be the empress.

Then he was recalled to the palace because of a defeat in a battle with Xueyuan, slandered and treasonous, and tortured and killed in the cold palace.

In the civil and military courts, no one complained for her, but Yan Ling'er, as her only remaining relative, actively offered advice to get her out of the cold palace, and had her cut into a stick!

At that time, the eunuch who executed the sentence seemed to have mentioned that the new empress did not like the emperor's harem to interfere in politics?

I can't remember clearly, my ears are covered with blood, and I didn't hear clearly at the beginning.

But now that she thinks about it, she understands it clearly.

Wen Zhemao planned it from the very beginning, let himself work for him alive, and after death, he can use the name of clearing the harem to please the new queen, so as to satisfy his father-in-law.

With the help of the Qiang people, he pushed the Yan family army loyal to the Yan family in Xijiang to the front line, and killed them all!She also took advantage of the battle in the snowy field to kill all her brothers!

Only in this way can he completely take over the military of Western Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang after his death!

In this way, no one will appeal for his grievances after he tortured and killed himself for treason without any evidence!

In terms of conspiracy and calculation, he is still far behind those people who are immersed in power tricks!
Yan Qing narrowed his eyes, swallowed all the hatred in his stomach along with the sake, and then raised his eyes to look at Li Wanrou again.

Li Wanrou, who was reprimanded instead of being comforted by Wen Zhehan, felt resentful and wronged in her heart, looked into Wen Zhehan's eyes with tears streaming down her face, looking very sad.

Yan Qing saw Li Wanrou's sad expression in his eyes, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and the corners of his lips pulled a small amount.

In her previous life, she had never met Li Wanrou, nor did she know Wen Zhehan, but in this life, an autumn feast, she learned some interesting things.

It's just that I don't know what kind of wonderful expression Li Dingshan will have when he knows that his daughter has other thoughts about Wen Zhehan?
But according to her understanding of Li Dingshan, I'm afraid that Li Wanrou's love for Wen Zhehan is not ignorant of him.

But he sided with Wen Zhemao...

The meaning of this has to be intriguing.

If it was because Concubine Li had an affair with Wen Zhemao before, he had no choice but to stand on the united front with Wen Zhemao for the interests of the Li family.

But now that this matter has been exposed, Wen Zhemao has lost the emperor's favor, so it is impossible to become the heir apparent in the emperor's heart.

Why did Li Dingshan still support Wen Zhemao?

And since he was so firm in supporting Wen Zhemao, why did he let Li Wanrou come to the autumn banquet to continue to indulge Li Wanrou and Wen Zhehan?
Did Li Dingshan want to make two-handed preparations to hold the two princes in his hands?
Yan Qing couldn't figure it out, but she understood a little.
