Dajin royal family

Chapter 207

"I really didn't expect that he is actually a member of the King of Han."

Inside the room, Fang Xuanzhan was holding letters that had been handed over one by one, carefully looking at them according to the light of the candle, with a look of astonishment showing on his face from time to time.Although they had previously guessed that Fan Shang would have some nasty connection with the mob, they never thought that Fan Shang was once a member of the King of Han.

After the failure of the King of Han's rebellion, the counties in Shandong were also investigated, but they were escaped by a big fish.And the Qinghe Cui family who helped this big fish get away with it.

"I didn't expect that the former mastermind of the King of Han is still alive." Fang Xuanzhan looked at the word "Cui Qi" mentioned in the letter, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I heard that this person once suggested that the King of Han should go south to build a country and split the Chang'an court. It is a pity that the King of Han was defeated by Prime Minister Yang before he could adopt it. This man did not die in the war.”

There was surprise on his face, as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing.

The candlelight reflected the shadows of the two of them on the window. Jiang Chengxiao calmly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and looked leisurely and relaxed, "Mr. Fang thinks, if King Han really went to the south, would he be so This Mr. Cui guessed."

"Well, it's not certain, maybe it's impossible." Fang Xuanzhan put down the letter in his hand, took a sip of tea, to be honest, he didn't like tea very much before, it was usually just for warming up, but The tea that Shizi brought out was really different. It could be drunk after just a short time of soaking in boiling water, and the taste was worthy of scrutiny. He liked it very much.

"How to say?"

Jiang Chengxiao leaned against the wood, his eyelids slightly drooped, as if he was asleep but not asleep.

Fang Xuan said: "Although I have unified the world, the south has been separated for too long after all, and the major nobles have taken root too deeply. In comparison, there is actually no sense of identity with the Shandong gentry or the Guanzhong nobles. If there is Chances are, those wealthy families may not support the King of Han."

"That's impossible?" Jiang Chengxiao took time off and relaxed, as if he wasn't worried about the bandits in Mushan at all.

"Actually, it's still the question I just mentioned." Fang Xuanzhan slightly straightened his words and said, "After a hundred years of war, in fact, no matter whether it is the Shandong gentry, the Guanzhong nobles, or the southern wealthy families, most of them have suffered heavy losses. If they are desperate, Otherwise, they would not have taken the risk to rebel. Therefore, the King of Han is unlikely to get the support of the powerful families in the south."

"What's more, the current empress comes from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. Generally speaking, why would they let go of this stable path and insist on supporting the King of Han?"

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, this is true.Not only is the current emperor's queen from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, but his biological mother is also from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River.You must know that his father, King Zhao, held power during the first emperor's time.In this way, he may also be the product of a combination of political interests.

"Is your son not worried at all?" Fang Xuanzao asked curiously.

Jiang Chengxiao was slightly astonished, then shook his head, and said with a smile: "As long as Song Jingang and Cui Qi believe the news we passed on, they will definitely lose. Or, it is the news that Fan Shang passed on to them, and they have no reason not to believe it."

"What if they don't believe it?" Fang Xuanzao asked.

"Then we can only ask Mr. Fang to take up his post in Huang County after a few days."

Huang County is not far from Mouping County. If Song Jingang and Cui Qi in Mou Mountain cannot be resolved, then Fang Xuanzhan will not be able to take office safely.It's just that what Jiang Chengxiao didn't expect was that he would dig out such fierce information from Fan Shang, which made him very entangled.

"Sir, do you think I should hand over these evidences to Chang'an?" Jiang Chengxiao asked him with some melancholy, his eyes swaying back and forth between the flickering candles, and he occasionally sighed in distress.

He is not entangled with Song Jingang and Cui Qi of Mou Shan now. Cui Qi should not know the news that Fan Shang was discovered by them. As long as they follow the wrong information they sent, Song Jingang will surely lose.What he is really worried about now is the people involved in this case. Fan Shang can say that it is just a remnant of rebellion against the king, and the whole family will die.

But Cui Qi, this made it difficult for him to make a decision.If Cui Qi was handed over from him, then he would not only become Qinghe Cui's enemy, but he would also be on the Cui family's blacklist.In the future, will the Shandong gentry feel that he is a tool man specially used by His Majesty to deal with them?

Fang Xuanzao is so smart, he understands immediately when he clicks on it, he thought for a while, and said: "Have you ever thought about it, you don't have to send these evidences to Chang'an yourself."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chengxiao opened his eyes, looking at the calm Fang Xuanzao.

Fang Xuanzhan analyzed in a calm manner: "What the prince is worried about is that once this incident breaks out, Qinghe Cui will feel that this is the prince's performance against them. In this case, why doesn't the prince let them go and kill Cui Qi directly."

"My son, don't forget that Cui Qi was originally on the court's list of missing persons, so killing him here is nothing, so the court will only know that Donglai County's rebellion is the remnants of the Han king, and will not think of Qinghe Cui, let alone this Isn't Fan Shang caught this time? It's a big fish. At the same time, Shizi can use this opportunity to clean up Qingzhou officialdom. I believe Qinghe Cui will not dare to obstruct you again this time. After all, you have sold a big give them favors.”

Jiang Chengxiao was slightly silent, and said in a low voice: "What if Fan Shang confessed about Cui Qi and Song Jingang in the capital, then I will not report the matter by then."

"Hey." Fang Xuanzhan smiled faintly, "It would be the best if Fan Shang confessed to Cui Qi and Song Jingang in order to alleviate his crimes."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"If His Majesty really interrogates you because of this matter, you can say that you really know about Cui Qi and Song Jingang, but Cui Qi and Song Jingang were not found on the way to eliminate the mob. In order to avoid His Majesty's blame, you chose Deliberately concealing this matter."

"Deliberately concealing it?" Jiang Chengxiao was taken aback.

Fang Xuanzao nodded, "As long as this small detail is disclosed, whether it is the Cui family or the Shandong gentry, they will understand that the prince does not want to trouble them. And His Majesty may think that you are cheating, maybe I will think that you are afraid. But what does that matter, you have already demonstrated your ability in Qingzhou this time, and you are a very outstanding son of the clan."

"Even if His Majesty wants to punish you, it will not be able to obliterate your contribution in Qingzhou. At the same time, the prince should be clearer than this one."

"Mu Xiuyu Lin" Fang Xuanzao's eyes shone with unprecedented light, as if he saw something on Jiang Chengxiao's body.

"The wind will destroy it." Jiang Chengxiao murmured.

He couldn't help but laugh, Fang Xuanzao said it well, a person must not be too perfect, let alone be too straightforward, when you need to play stupid, you have to play stupid.Furthermore, he is just a teenage son of a weak crown, isn't it normal that he can't do things properly?

"During this trip to Qingzhou, what I am most proud of is not the investigation of Qi County officials, nor the suppression of the mob. Does Xuanzao know what I am most proud of?" Jiang Chengxiao gently picked up the teacup, and Tingting smoked The air swayed slowly in the air.

The reason why he was able to go so smoothly this time was mainly due to the layout here in advance, otherwise he would really be blinded, and the officials in Qi County alone would be enough for him to toss.

"Oh, then what is the prince most proud of?" Fang Xuanzhan asked.

He really didn't know this, because in his opinion, whether it was the investigation of Qi County officials in a short period of time or the suppression of the mob by means of thunder, it should be considered something to be proud of.If these two things are not counted, then he really can't guess.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao's eyes slowly fell on Fang Xuanzhan's body through the white smoke. As soon as the two people's eyes met, Fang Xuanzhan immediately understood what was going on.

That's right, whether it's about Cui's family or Donglai County, the prince's willingness to talk with him is because he has absolute trust in him.

"Xuan Zao is terrified, how could the Majesty be so trusting!" Fang Xuan Zao immediately cupped his hands.

Jiang Chengxiao quickly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Xuan Zao's talent is rare in the world. It is my luck to be able to conspire with Xuan Zao in the court affairs. Xuan Zao must not underestimate himself."

"My son." Fang Xuanzao looked at him moved.
