Shengshichun

Fu Zhen is now certain that there is indeed a problem on King Yan's side, but he is not the only one with the problem, there is also the queen.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Feng, she immediately rushed to Taishan Pavilion to look for Li Yi.

Fortunately, Li Yi happened to be in the martial arts gym as well.

Without all the pleasantries, Fu Zhen asked directly: "Old man, how many times have you seen that eunuch?"

Although Li Yi was confused by her question, she could still see how important it was for her to ask this question. He thought for a while and replied: "There are only two times in total. The first time was when he came to look for me, and the second time was two or three years ago, but he didn't stay with me for long both times. The rest of the time, It’s all the people around him who contact me.”

"Then when he showed you the token, did you see what color the tassel on the token was?"

"Tassels?" Li Yi paused and said immediately, "It's cyan! It's cyan tassels!"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Zhen immediately took a deep breath, and then said: "He is about six feet tall, with a silver basin face, thick and long eyebrows, and a Yuanbao mouth, right?"

Li Yi was stunned again: "It's almost the same, he just looks like this! You found him so quickly? Which palace is he from?"

The matter that was entrusted to her yesterday was revealed in just one night. It was really amazingly fast!
But how did he know that Fu Zhen had already set a goal in his mind? As long as you keep looking for the target, it won't take much effort at all!
Fu Zhen clenched his fists to calm down.

After the emperor, she is the oldest.

He Rong is the old man next to the queen. On the other hand, if he were not a famous person, he would not be able to take on such a task.

Because even if he has ambition, he really doesn't have the conditions to accomplish all of this!
King Yan's search for medicine was just a cover for the queen.

It can be seen from this that most of the guards sent out by King Yan every year to purchase medicinal materials were probably sent by the Queen to look for Yang Yi.

Then the problems in the palace can actually be sorted out to a certain extent. The problems between them are still between the emperor and the empress.

She is the founding queen!

When she heard the Queen's words, Fu Zhen was wondering if this Eunuch He was the one she thought of?
So she secretly asked Mrs. Feng to resign, and as she hurried out, she saw He Rong entering Kunning Palace.

Not only did the queen hide her actions from the emperor, but in addition to people in the palace, she also mobilized people outside the palace, such as Li Yi.

The problems with King Yan actually came from the Queen.

Since there are conflicts, why can they still work together and fight side by side?

So what is the conflict between the emperor and the queen?

This contradiction is highlighted in the matter of searching for Yang Yi. What kind of contradiction is this?
Why did the queen hide the truth from the emperor? Why not trust him?
"Girl," Li Yi saw that she had been silent for a long time, and now she hurriedly sat down, "Did you find out something extraordinary? Who is this person that the palace is looking for?"

The people below have something to report. Does the Queen need to avoid them? Is there any need to shy away from them just because they are there?

This matter was not something that should be publicized yet, so naturally we couldn't reveal too much to him, so he could only keep an eye on it first.

Fu Zhen, the eunuch of their group, has met him since he was a child. Although there is nothing special about his appearance, he cannot be identified at a glance, but when He Rong asked to see the queen, the queen actually sent He Rong away because she and Mrs. Feng were present.

After leaving the Taishan Pavilion, the sun had already set in the west.

Well, the facts are now in front of us. Yang Zhan is not talking nonsense. Although the emperor and empress are looking forward to Yang Yi's return, they are each looking for their own. The emperor may not have hidden the truth from the empress, but the empress' actions must have been Hidden from the emperor.

Even in the eyes of many heroes and elders who followed her, she was often as important as the emperor.

King Yan may have problems, but his problems are obviously secondary to the conflicts between the emperor and the queen.

Pei Zhan followed the emperor's order and paid attention to the military situation of Dayue and Dongzi. He didn't come back so early in the past few days.

Fu Zhen looked at it and then shook his head: "I can't tell whether it is this person yet. I will tell you after I find out."

She made up her mind and got on the carriage: "Go to Liang Mansion. If the general comes back, please also invite him to Liang Mansion."

……

Pei Zhan and Liang Chen were both at the Ministry of War.

In the past few days, there has been one military report from the northwest every three days.

The generals guarding the border in the northwest are members of the Du family. They know what's appropriate. If they didn't station troops in Dayue on Dayue, they can't ignore the movements of Dayue on one day.

"It turns out that since Dayue's defeat and the change of dynasties, Dongzi has had several quarrels with them. King Jinxu of Dongzi is in his prime. Looking at their battles, I'm afraid they want to reap the benefits."

After reading the military report, the Minister of War analyzed the military situation on the sand table.

Neither Liang Chen nor Pei Zhan spoke.

Cheng Chiren touched his chin and said: "If Dongzi covets Dayue, it stands to reason that he will launch a large-scale war. Such a small fight is unreasonable."

The Minister of War said: "Before Dayue was defeated by the Zhou Dynasty, Dayue's national power had always been stronger than Dongzi. Only then did Jin Xu's sister Princess Yilan marry King Yi. She died a year after the marriage, but she did not end up with anything. The result of any statement.

"But the news coming from the northwest in recent years says that Dongzi has been keeping a low profile and recuperating for the past thirty years since Jin Xu came to power. If he wants to invade Dayue, he will not be without strength."

"Having the strength and having such a plan are two different things." Liang Chen crossed his arms and answered. At this point, he turned to Pei Zhan: "How is the relationship between Jin Xu and his sister, Princess Yilan?"

Pei Zhan breathed slowly: "When the spies were collecting information, they brought back the news that Princess Yilan and Jin Xu were biological siblings born from the same mother. And as the eldest sister, the princess was older than Jin Xu. More than ten years older, the sister and brother were not welcomed in the palace when they were young. It was the princess who swallowed her anger to protect her brother and had to make every compromise to grow up safely.

"Princess Yilan died a year after her marriage, and there was no explanation from Da Yue. It is impossible for Jin Xu not to hold grudges.

"I once speculated that when the two countries were at war, King Dayue sent ministers several times to lobby Jin Xu to participate in the war, but Jin Xu ignored him. This should be the reason for his hatred towards Dayue."

"But isn't Princess Yilan marrying King Yi?" The Minister of the Ministry of War looked over, "According to this, if he wants to hold grudges, he also holds grudges against King Yi. And at that time, King Yi was the victim of Dayue King's imperial power struggle. He There is no holiday with Dayue King."

"People's emotions are unpredictable." Pei Zhan said, "If there are no signs of encroaching on Da Yue's territory recently, it is probably because of the death of Princess Yilan. Jin Xu took advantage of Da Yue's eyes to see the sky. That’s when the trouble started.”

"But the people in Prince Yi's Mansion are all dead." Liang Chen also disagreed with this statement. "Xu Yin, as the last descendant of Prince Yi's Mansion, is already in the prison of Dali Temple. Who else can Jin Xu take revenge on?"

"It makes sense." The Minister of War nodded, "Everyone in Prince Yi's Mansion has been wiped out. If we continue to attack, we should have done it long ago. Since we didn't do it earlier, there is no reason to do it now."

Pei Zhan did not refute.

After all, he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while. "Xu Yin's confidant surnamed Lian has escaped, and we don't know where he went. Dayue still has to send someone over to find out what's going on before we can rest assured."

Liang Chen made a conclusion.

When Pei Zhan heard this, he uncrossed his arms. "When I sort out the matter at hand, I will go there myself."

"How can you go?" Everyone objected in unison, "Such a big thing happened in the palace, and Gyeonggi cannot lose its guard. You are the commander of the Gyeonggi camp, so you cannot leave the capital easily."

Pei Zhan wanted to tell his reasons, but Liang Chen couldn't help but stop him: "Why kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Give up this idea."

Everyone in the room was nodding, and Pei Zhan stopped arguing.

After leaving the Ministry of War, Du Mingqian still had some entertainment and went their separate ways. Pei Zhan said to Liang Chen on the horse: "The news that Taiping heard from Li Yi in Taishan Hall yesterday is that the eldest son of the emperor is very likely to be alive, and he is still alive." Visited Otsuki, and probably lived there for a while.

"After the deposed prince died, although it was said that there was still a King Yan who could be the crown prince, there seemed to be some doubts about him.

"Furthermore, his physical condition is indeed poor, and it is really unsettling to have Zhou Guozuo rest on him alone.

"If this is a last resort, then you and I can only make a desperate move and hold on.

"But now there is news about the emperor's eldest son, so you and I have to actively fight for it.

"It's not up to you or me to decide who will be crown prince, but if there are multiple alternatives, the court will avoid a lot of turmoil."

It's not that I don't think highly of King Yan. There are doubts about him, but he has not done anything unjust so far - at least there is no evidence. In this case, there is no problem in making him the crown prince.

But what if he has a problem?

If there is one more choice, why not find out this choice?
Also, if the royal bloodline is left outside, there will be hidden dangers for the court in the long run.

Liang Chen stood up and sighed: "I understand what you said, but you really can't leave. You must go, and that person must be me."

"you--"

"Okay," Liang Chen stopped him from talking, "before it's time to go, let's clarify the things in front of us first."

He turned his head and glanced at the sky, and said: "The guard has just sent a message. My aunt has returned home. Let's go back to the house for dinner. Let's go!"

Pei Zhan nodded, and the two of them stepped onto the street facing the sunset.

……

Fu Zhen had already had a round of tea with Mrs. Feng Cao and Su Xing'er at Liang Mansion.

Mrs. Cao was outspoken and scolded Fu Zhen severely for wanting to reconcile, and ordered her to live a good life with Pei Zhan from now on. Unless Pei Zhan bullies her, these two words are never mentioned again.

Fu Zhen was smiling the whole time, and didn't talk to either of them, trying not to make them angry.

The ladies couldn't do anything with her hob meat. They gave her instructions several times. After watching her finish the bowl of mutton soup, they couldn't help but look at her fondly. They couldn't help but take out a silk cloth and wipe her mouth. It was as if she was still the little brat who acted like a spoiled brat in front of her all day long.

there's no way.

Neither of the sisters-in-law died.

This little girl was born under her own watch, and she was raised by her sister-in-law and her mother-in-law.

Regardless of seniority, what is the difference between this and my own daughter?
What's more, now, if you really want to say it, even the barriers of generation have been removed.

This is the little daughter they brought up!

When Liang and Chen came in, they were chatting happily about food. A cheerful and relaxed atmosphere filled the entire house and yard.

The two men stood looking at each other for a while, then couldn't help but smile at each other and walked up.

"Speaking of what to eat? No matter how delicious it is, what's more delicious than what Aunt Ning's chef at Wanbinlou cooks?"

"Hey, you're all back!"

Mrs. Cao clapped her legs and said, "You really know how to choose the right time. You guys came just when we were talking about eating!"

Liang Chen said with a smile: "Since my little aunt became the young head of Wanbin House, my waist has become thicker. If I don't choose it at other times, I must choose it at this time!"

When Mrs. Feng heard this, she looked at Su Xing'er: "I asked you to go to the Ning family earlier, have you ever gone?"

"I've gone," Su Xing'er said repeatedly, "When Aunt Ning heard that you two knew the truth, she started to feel sorry for you from the first sentence. She said she didn't know how much you had suffered because of my little aunt. .

"She said that we are all a family, so what kind of etiquette is needed? The original words are this: If the two generals and their wives don't dislike it, when she has finished cleaning up tomorrow, she will post a message to invite you two. Let’s have tea behind closed doors so we can talk!”

When Mrs. Feng heard this, she immediately felt relieved: "She is really a benevolent and righteous woman! Since she is like this, then it is all up to Mrs. Ning's arrangement. Looking back, what do you need over there? Take care of it in time."

Mrs. Cao remembered: "I heard that there is a brother in the Ning family who studies very hard and has good qualifications. He also became a disciple of Bachelor Shen. Mrs. Ning saved the young lady from our natal family. In the future, the young master of the Ning family will be there. They are also members of our Liang family!

"We, the Liang family, must support him! Chen'er, you and Zhi'er both need to be careful!"

"Don't worry, Auntie!" Liang Chen said with a smile, "My wife, my second son, and I have already calculated that our Liang family is all martial artists, not a single scholar!

"Brother Jia has a talent for reading, so we naturally have to surrender him. We will ask Aunt Ning later. If she doesn't mind, we two brothers will recognize Brother Jia in front of the ancestors in the ancestral hall. From then on, we will become brothers." Become a real family!”

"So good!"

Both ladies agreed.

Fu Zhen heard this and said, "I'll go over to my mother and tell her that the custody matter will be successfully completed!"

"You, you'd better take your husband-in-law back to your room to rest for a while," Su Xing'er poked her forehead, then glanced at Pei Zhan with a smile, "Lao Wu, from now on, this will also be your mother-in-law's home. They will recognize each other later. When you are a brother, you also have to kowtow in the ancestral hall and recognize your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
