The return of the first daughter

Han Jiangxue talked to his father and brother about what happened in the palace today.

As for the fact that Mo Li took her to the west mountain to walk on the snow to find plums, he briefly mentioned it and skipped it, and he didn't mention a word about the encounter with the princess of Nanliang, so as to save his father and brother from unnecessary worries.

Han Jing and the others have only heard about the fact that the Meng family wrote a letter to the emperor to hand over the old Meng King just now, and the palace deliberately concealed this news, so as to avoid the chaos in Gannan and many mobs around. Under the pressure of the situation, the Meng family's upcoming rebellion is too disturbing to the hearts of the people.

"Sister, in my opinion, the emperor just wants to use the matter of Concubine Meng to gain your trust and favor."

Han Jing was not as subtle as Mo Li, and said directly: "Even if you really begged him, it seemed that he would release Concubine Meng out of the palace, but in the end who can tell whether Concubine Meng is dead or alive?" ? Our current emperor is very thoughtful, otherwise, how could he have sat in this seat so smoothly!"

Han Jiangxue nodded slightly, and did not deny the possibility her brother said, but she didn't want to make unnecessary comments about Li Qing.

"Xue'er, you and Mo Li are too bold in today's matter. If you say that you are not feeling well, it's fine to leave the palace early. After all, the emperor didn't stop you at that time, but how could you let Mo Li? How about leaving the palace halfway and not participating in the ceremony?"

Han Feng was naturally a little worried: "You know better than anyone else how the emperor treats Mo Li. Didn't you take the initiative to let Mo Li leave something for the emperor to catch?"

"Father, they're all gone, it's useless to talk about it now. What's more, even if Mo Li doesn't leave any excuses for the emperor, it's impossible for the emperor not to find trouble with Mo Li."

Han Jing didn't think there was anything to be nervous about: "Besides, it's not like you don't know Mo Li's character. He dared to take his sister and leave directly, which means that he had already planned everything in his heart. I think so. , Sometimes, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to leave some small mistakes properly, if the emperor really can’t find out the slightest mistake, I’m afraid the consequences will be even more troublesome!”

These words are quite reasonable.After listening to Han Jing, he nodded and didn't say anything more, but Han Jiangxue was delighted to find that his brother's progress in all aspects is really amazing.

As a result, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but think of the two words Zhang Haocheng said when he left.

"Father, brother, Zhang Haocheng came here before you came back." Thinking of this, she didn't delay any longer.Talk about the guests who came to the house just now: "I heard from him that he just returned to the capital not long ago, and he originally thought of entering the palace to participate in the grand ceremony, but it was still too late."

"Zhang Haocheng, what is he doing at our house at this time, sister, is he pestering you? This brat..." Han Jing was a little angry at Zhang Haocheng.He always remembered the matter of renouncing his sister's marriage back then, even though he knew that his sister didn't like Zhang Haocheng.

"Brother, it's not what you think. He has changed a lot when he came back this time, and he has become more open-minded. The kind of thing you think will never happen."

Han Jiangxue smiled. She was very satisfied with her brother's unchanging maintenance. She smiled and said: "He stopped by to see Wanru on the way back to Beijing. Wanru took it for me and brought some The things were delivered together. After talking about Wanru's recent situation for a while, he left and didn't stay here for a long time. Wanru just got pregnant recently, and I want the Zhang family to send things over in a few days Take some presents with me by the way."

"That's right, that's good. The friendship between our two families is no better than that of others. It's good that you can live in harmony in your younger life." Han Feng is not as dissatisfied with Zhang Haocheng as his son is, and he heard that the children now The unclear feelings between them have been smoothed out, so I am naturally happy.

Hearing this, Han Jing didn't say anything about Zhang Haocheng's fault, but after all, some impressions can't be reversed immediately, at most it's just to save face for his sister, so as not to embarrass others when they meet in the future That is.

"One more thing. Before Zhang Haocheng left, he said two very special words to me. I thought about it for a long time. I'm afraid he just wanted to remind us implicitly."

Han Jiangxue quickly turned to the main topic without further delay, and said exactly what Zhang Haocheng said: "He said that his father will be enshrined as a marquis soon, and that in the future the Han family will have For any important matter, you'd better go directly to Prince Mo's Mansion to discuss it."

Hearing these two words, the expression on Han Feng's face instantly became gloomy.

In fact, for the aristocratic family, the meaning of being a marquis or not was not very big, but for the situation faced by each family today, the deep meaning reflected by the intentional marquis again is even more different.

"Has the Zhang family abandoned the alliance and surrendered?" Before Han Feng could say anything, Han Jing said angrily, "I thought only the Zheng family and the Wang family would be so spineless, but I didn't expect the majestic Zhang family to be so spineless." The family is also a soft bone! They don’t care what the royal family has been tossing about for so many years. Now the new emperor waved his tail and ran over. He will immediately draw a line with us, so as not to be implicated! Thanks to us Even treat them as family friends, in my opinion the Zhang family is not worthy at all!"

Han Feng's face was not very good-looking, and after hearing Han Jing's words, he even sighed: "Forget it, I have my own thoughts and plans, and it is worthy of the friendship between the two families to take the initiative to say something in advance. "

Hearing what his father and brother said, Han Jiangxue was not in a hurry to say anything.

When she first heard Zhang Haocheng say these two sentences, her thoughts were the same as those of her father and brother now, but later she felt that something was wrong, and she thought about it for a long time, until her father and brother came back. There are some tricks.

"Now the three kings and four families basically exist in name only. The Zheng, Wang, and Zhang families have all defected to the emperor regardless of previous suspicions. The Luo family is basically gone. The Meng family alone wants to rebel in the western desert. In the end, we are the Han family and the Mo family. Trapped in this capital!"

Han Jing's tone seemed a little tragic for the first time, but then he looked at Han Feng and asked directly: "Father, if the emperor also comes to win you over, and win over the Han family, will you compromise for the safety in front of you?"

From the current point of view, the most urgent thing for the new emperor to deal with is nothing more than the Meng family and the hidden dangers of the Mo family that the royal family has always regarded as must be eliminated. Others can be temporarily put aside to appease them.Li Qing could fully understand the current situation, knew the priorities, and knew how to make choices. He didn't have such a big appetite like the former emperor to ask for trouble.

Because of this, with the madness before the abdication of the Supreme Emperor, coupled with Li Qing's response now, the situation that was about to collapse has slowly eased a little.

But all of this is not a good thing for the Han family. They are gradually isolated, which is equivalent to being roasted on the front grill!

Han Feng understood what his son meant, but he shook his head and denied it without thinking too much.

The Han family is different from the Zheng, Wang, and Zhang families. The relationship between the Han family and the royal family does not mean that whoever retreats will tolerate, and whoever abandons some principles can exchange for a moment of peace.

In addition to the interests carried by the family, the Han family has an unforgetable enmity with the royal family!

The two children now only know that their mother's death was the result of a royal conspiracy, but not their grandparents who died too early!When Liu's true face was uncovered and a series of murders in the Han family over the years were unearthed, only Han Feng thought of what happened back then, and the death of his own parents was also related to the conspiracy of the current Supreme Emperor.

Parents, a wife, and a daughter who was raped and killed by the Liu family, how could Han Feng act as if nothing happened, and humbly join the enemy?

What's more, unless I don't marry Xue'er to Mo Li, and send the child to the palace that eats people and marry the current emperor, otherwise, the Han family will never get temporary stability.

Seeing the firmness on his father's face, Han Jing couldn't help but dissipate the solemnity on Han Jing's face, and instead showed a smile of the same firmness. For Han Jing, his mother's death cannot be forgotten, and his sister's life cannot be a part of Han Jing's life. A bargaining chip for the exchange of interests between the family and the royal family!

"Father, elder brother, in my opinion, the Zhang family may not have really chosen to join the royal family again!"

After this time, Han Jiangxue did not hide any more, and expressed her thoughts: "Obviously, some so-called deal should have been reached between the Zhang family and the emperor, and this matter is quite hidden. We, even Lian Moli I didn’t get any rumors in advance. But Zhang Haocheng deliberately disclosed this matter to us in advance, and even secretly said that if we have any important matters in the future, don’t go to Zhang’s family to discuss with Zhang’s family. I think it’s not just Want to draw a line with us, maybe also for our safety!"

Han Jiangxue recalled that time when the Luo Palace was bloodbathed, the attitude of the Zhang family was a bit strange at that time, and later Mo Libu went secretly for himself, but he didn't mention it any more when he came back.

From this point of view, I'm afraid that Li Qing had been in contact with the Zhang family since then, and after Li Qing came to power, the Zhang family made other choices due to some unavoidable reasons.

Things may not be as simple as they appear on the surface, so Han Jiangxue did not merge the Zhang family with the Zheng and Wang families so quickly.

"Even if this is the case, so what, anyway..." Han Jing still snorted in great dissatisfaction, and then said: "In any case, in the future, the ways will be different and we will not conspire against each other!"

This time, Han Feng did not express any disapproval of Han Jing's words, but just sighed slightly, with a little more helplessness on his face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
