Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 113

King Yan was stunned. He really hadn't thought about it, or he didn't want to think about it.

Mr. Shen said: "Your Highness, if you fail, it will not be your fault alone. Your mother clan and those who support Your Highness will not end up well. We have no retreat. In order to survive, we must do more. Prepare."

King Yan took a deep breath and said: "Sir, what you said is right. But although Yuan Wenshao has trained the Forbidden Army, the identity of the Forbidden Army general is very sensitive and he has no contact with him. How useful is it to win over him? And it may not be possible to win over him. "

"Haha." Mr. Shen said with a smile: "Your Highness's words are good. However, Yuan Wenshao has had contact with those generals. He should know some about which ones are worth winning over and which ones cannot be won over. It is still of some value. As for those who cannot be won over, that is even better. Done, if you can't be a friend, you are an enemy. In order to prevent him from joining King Yong, you must either find a way to get him to leave the capital, or..."

Either way, Mr. Shen didn't say it clearly, but King Yan also understood.

……

Yuan Wenshao didn't know King Yan's plan, so when the hunting started in the afternoon, he led his soldiers into the mountain.

In the whole afternoon, I only shot a few hares and nothing else.

It was the same for the next two days. I just typed something randomly every day, just messing around.

The hunting ground already supports a lot of prey, and for this winter hunting, a lot of prey was released.

Although there are no threatening animals like tigers and wild boars, there are still many large prey like deer that are not threatening to humans.

Yuan Wenshao only shot a few rabbits in two and a half days, and was ridiculed a lot.

Yuan Wenshao was too lazy to pay attention to this and was very indifferent.

After the hunt, King Yong mocked King Yan.

As usual when the Tathagata comes, everyone followed the two princes into the city and then went home.

Yuan Wenshao returned home, took a bath and changed clothes, had dinner with Sister Hua Lanwen, then went to the study and called Ning Zhiguang over.

"I have met my uncle, and I thought that if I come here to hunt for a few days, I will definitely show off my talents. Soon Bianjing will spread the word about my uncle's bravery." Ning Zhiguang said with a smile.

"I asked about Mr. Ning's past affairs, and they all said that Mr. Ning was upright and upright. I didn't expect that Mr. Ning would even flatter him. But this time, Mr. Ning guessed wrong. Let alone showing off his talents, I didn't even make it into the top ten." Yuan Wenshao raised his head and said.

Ning Zhiguang didn't care about Yuan Wenshao's joke and said: "With my uncle's skills, let alone winning the championship, the top three should not be a big problem. Is there some reason why he didn't enter?"

"I admire Mr. Ning for his great talent." Yuan Wenshao praised him and recounted the situation at that time.

After listening to this, Ning Zhiguang frowned and started thinking.

Yuan Wenshao did not interrupt and started drinking tea.

After a long time, Ning Zhiguang said with a solemn expression: "Uncle, it stands to reason that King Yan's mother clan is a northern general, so he does not need to rush to win over the generals. Moreover, what he did at that time seemed to be forcing the uncle to make a decision, which was not the case at all. The former courtesy corporal was very abnormal.”

"Yes, this is also where I am confused." Yuan Wenshao said.

"I have been thinking for a long time and feel that there is only one possibility why King Yan did this. He wanted to launch a mutiny." Ning Zhiguang said in surprise.

"what?"

Yuan Wenshao was shocked. He knew that King Yan had indeed rebelled.

But didn't he do this after he failed in his bid for the crown prince position?

And it seems that King Yong sent people to kidnap Concubine Rong's sister, and her brother took refuge with King Yan in order to help him avenge her.

However, Yuan Wenshao soon realized that Rongchang was only the deputy commander of the Palace Front Division, and because he was a related household and was usually arrogant and domineering, he was not popular among the people.King Yan could quickly control the palace by initiating palace changes. It was impossible to rely on him alone.

In other words, it is very likely that King Yan had already started making preparations before the position of crown prince was determined.

It would be better if you can win normally, but if not, then launch a mutiny.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wenshao calmed down and said: "What does this have to do with me? Although I am in charge of the Xiaoyong Camp, there are only 2 people. And I don't have the power to mobilize troops."

The soldiers and horses of the camp in the western suburbs cannot leave the camp without an order.

In the original drama, even if Zhao Zongquan had a bloody edict, he might not have been able to mobilize him if Gu Tingye hadn't been there.

Because the edict is difficult to prove its authenticity at that time.

So what if it's true?
If King Yan had forced the officials to issue a succession edict, then they would have become rebellious officials and traitors.

Therefore, there is little value in wooing the generals of the various battalions in the western suburbs camp.

"My uncle has forgotten that in the past two years, the Forbidden Army took turns going to the Heroic Camp for training. Although my uncle was only training, he spent constant time with the generals of the Forbidden Army. If King Yan wants to mutiny, he can only control the official family and let the official write Only by issuing imperial edicts can we control the overall situation. If we want to control the official family, the first thing we need to deal with is the Forbidden Army. If the uncle has such a relationship with the Forbidden Army, why doesn't he have anything to do with the uncle?" Ning Zhiguang said.

Yuan Wenshao looked gloomy and said, "What can Mr. Ning do?"

If it is as Ning Zhiguang guessed, he will face endless troubles next.

Ning Zhiguang was silent for a while and said: "The best way is to take sides. No matter which side you support, you will be protected. If the party that my uncle supports ascends the throne, my uncle will also get huge benefits."

"No, it's too early to join the team now and the risk is too great. Is there any other way?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"Uncle, you must have heard of the allusion of 'Chong Er was born outside, Shen Sheng died inside', right?" Ning Zhiguang said.

"You mean to let me leave Bianjing?" Yuan Wenshao frowned slightly.

"If my uncle is unwilling to take sides in advance, it is better to leave the quagmire of Bianjing as soon as possible. As long as my uncle is not in Bianjing, King Yong and King Yan will naturally not stare at my uncle. Otherwise, as the fight between the two becomes fierce, Uncle's troubles are getting bigger and bigger," Ning Zhiguang said.

"Leave Bianjing?"

I have to say that this is a good method, but it is not what Yuan Wenshao wants.

King Yan's rebellion was a good opportunity for him.

As the emperor and his ministers, after Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne, he used Yuzhou's confidants in high positions.

In addition, there is also Gu Tingye.

Although Gu Tingye was not Qian Di's confidant, he saved Zhao Zongquan.

He made a contribution when Zhao Zongquan put down the rebellion, so he gained Zhao Zongquan's trust and was accepted by the people in Yuzhou.

If Yuan Wenshao wants to make his title hereditary or become a marquis, he must perform meritorious service when Zhao Zongquan suppresses the rebellion, otherwise it will be difficult for him to be reused and trusted.

Logically speaking, he could leave Beijing, find an opportunity to contact Zhao Zongquan first, and establish a good relationship in advance.

But he and Gu Tingye are fundamentally different.

Gu Tingye could no longer stay in Bianjing because of his father's death.

In addition, he left Bianjing in order to find his son.Moreover, he had no position, and his title was inherited by his brother, so no one paid attention to him.

Yuan Wenshao is different. He is a lord. He trained the imperial army in the first two years. The officials were very satisfied and he was promoted to the third rank of general.

If he leaves Beijing, many people will still pay attention. Moreover, Zhao Zongquan is from the Taizu lineage and his status is sensitive. Yuzhou is not far from Bianjing, which can easily arouse the suspicion of interested people.

Moreover, he had a position. Even if something happened, the officials would punish him and transfer him away from Bianjing. When Zhao Zongquan suppressed the rebellion, he would not be able to participate.

Therefore, he could not leave Bianjing under any circumstances. Even if he had to leave, he would find an excuse to go out and avoid the limelight when the situation was at its most tense.

"Is there any other way?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"Uncle, the trees are still but the wind is not stopping. Bianjing is at the cusp of the storm, and the situation is unpredictable. If uncle is unwilling to take sides, the fortunes of staying here are unpredictable. Can you tell me why you are unwilling to leave? "Ning Zhiguang said.

He didn't understand why Yuan Wenshao was unwilling to leave despite his obvious unwillingness to participate in the dispute over establishing the throne.

Yuan Wenshao was silent for a long time and said: "I am not optimistic about King Yong and King Yan."

Ning Zhiguang wondered: "Why don't you think highly of King Yong and King Yan? To be disrespectful, with the current physical condition of the official family, it is impossible for them to have any more heirs. The reason why the official family agreed to inherit the clan heir is because of him I know my own situation. And King Yong and King Yan are the closest to the official bloodline, so their talent is rare among the clan. I don’t think anyone else can compete with them."

"Mr. Ning, I am as optimistic about King Yong as you are, but King Yong is ambitious but not talented. If the officials appoint him as the crown prince, they will be complacent and relaxed. King Yan is smart and capable. He knows that when King Yong ascends the throne, he will not end well, so he will not I am willing to sit back and wait for death." Yuan Wenshao said.

Ning Zhiguang asked in confusion: "You mean that Uncle Yan thinks that the rebellion launched by King Yan will be successful? In this case, Uncle supports King Yan. Although Queen Yan's mother's family is a general in the north, King Yan can naturally understand it with his shrewdness. It is not a good thing to let the northern generals become more powerful. Generals like Uncle Ye, who are very capable and not from the northern line, will definitely be reused."

Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said: "The officials are tolerant and loved by the people all over the world. Even if King Yan successfully seizes the throne through rebellion, civil and military officials will be grateful for the kindness of the officials, and many people will not want to be thieves. I don't know how many clans in the world, there are some How many people have no idea about that position? Someone will definitely stand up and bring order to the chaos."

Ning Zhiguang pondered for a while and said, "What the uncle said is not impossible. If it develops as the uncle said, who does the uncle think of?"

"Yuzhou regiment training envoy, Zhao Zongquan." Yuan Wenshao said word by word.

"Impossible!" Ning Zhiguang retorted without even thinking about it when he heard this: "Zhao Zongquan is just a regiment training envoy, and he is still in the lineage of Taizu. Who in the world will be convinced?"

"Why is it impossible?" Yuan Wenshao said: "The other clans are relatively far away from Bianjing. On the contrary, Taizong does not trust Taizu's lineage, and the fiefdom is not far from Bianjing. If King Yan rebels, the officials will definitely order the clan King Qin to rescue him. The rest The clan is too far away. By the time they arrive, King Yan may have completed the purge and taken control of the situation. As for Zhao Zong, they are all from the Taizu lineage. What does it matter to the official family? Anyway, this throne cannot be an official. Whether the heirs of the family sit, whether they are from the Taizu lineage or from the Taizong lineage, it is the same in the eyes of the officials."

Ning Zhiguang took a deep breath and said: "I admit that what uncle said makes sense, but the premise of all this is that it will develop as uncle thought. No one can predict the outcome if there is the slightest change. Uncle, would you like to think about it again?"

"I have thought about it carefully. Mr. Ning will help me think about how I can spend this period of time stably and maximize my interests at the same time if it develops as I guessed." Yuan Wenshao said.

Ning Zhiguang felt that Yuan Wenshao was too optimistic and thought of things too simply.

But seeing Yuan Wenshao's firm expression, I knew I couldn't persuade him, so I thought for a while and said, "Uncle, to be honest, my mind is in chaos right now and I need to think carefully."

"It's okay. It's getting late today. Mr. Ning, please go back and rest first. There's no rush for now. Let me know when you think of a solution." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Ning Zhiguang stood up and cupped his hands.

"Mr. Ning, don't worry. The situation is unpredictable now. Mr. Ning is too old to follow me around. He can advise me at any time. I heard that your grandson Ning Yuan is very knowledgeable. Let him stay with me from now on." Yuan Wenshao. smiled.

Ning Zhiguang smiled bitterly in his heart, but squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "Thank you uncle, I will ask Yuan'er to come and wait for orders early tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he saluted and left.

After Ning Zhiguang left, Yuan Wenshao was silent for a while and shouted: "Zhang An."

"Uncle."

Zhang An walked in and bowed.

More than five years have passed, and Zhang An is now in his 20s and looks much calmer.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Mr. Ning and Ning Yuan. If they make the slightest move, kill them!" Yuan Wenshao said coldly.

"Yes!"

Zhang An took the order and left without asking.

Yuan Wenshao told Ning Zhiguang that there was nothing he could do about it.

He wanted to stay in Bianjing to get chestnuts from the fire, but he was unable to cope with the current complicated situation, so he needed someone to help him give him advice.

Ning Zhiguang has helped him make suggestions over the years, and Yuan Wenshao still recognizes his talent.

If he hadn't known the future direction, he wouldn't have believed that Zhao Zongquan would have the last laugh.

It was normal for Ning Zhiguang not to believe him, so Yuan Wenshao was worried that Ning Zhiguang would betray him in order to protect himself.

After Ning Zhiguang was assigned, due to the difficult conditions, his son and daughter-in-law all fell ill and died, leaving him with only one grandson, Ning Yuan.

Yuan Wenshao asked Ning Yuan to stay with him as a hostage, and Ning Zhiguang also understood what Yuan Wenshao meant.

But he didn't dare to refuse. He knew that if he refused just now, he wouldn't even be able to get out of this door.

Despite this, Yuan Wenshao was still worried and asked Zhang An to send people to keep an eye on Ning Zhiguang and Ning Yuan.

After all, if he is not careful, his whole family may be dead.

After thinking for a while and finding no omissions, Yuan Wenshao returned to his room.

Just as the maid outside was about to salute, she was interrupted by Yuan Wenshao: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb Madam."

"Yes." Chunhua responded and took the maid to fetch water for Yuan Wenshao to wash up.

After Cuichan got married, the hairpin was also betrothed to a steward of Zhuangzi by Hualan in the second year.

Later, Hualan promoted four younger maids and named them Chunhua, Xiahe, Qiuyue, and Dongxue.

Of course, these four maids cannot be the only ones in their room. These four are just first-class female servants.

Later, when Sister Wen got older and lived alone, Hua Lan felt uneasy and sent Xia He and Qiu Yue to take care of her.There are only two first-class female envoys, Chunhua and Dongxue, left here.

However, the two of them are not young anymore, and Hualan is looking for new candidates.

After Yuan Wenshao washed up, he quietly walked into the inner room and got into bed.

As soon as he got into bed, Hua Lan opened his eyes.

"Did I wake you up?"

"No, I didn't sleep. I was waiting for the official to come back." Hua Lan smiled.
