Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 267

Qin Su clenched her teeth, under the fence, the veins on her forehead were bulging, and her complexion was extremely ferocious.

Yes, she finally saw that line.

The moment they met on this mountain road, the moment she happened to take a walk, she finally understood that the Qin family, or in other words, the four surnames Qin, Xiao, He, and Fan, the real reason for their demise lies here. line.

This line is centered on Xiao Jixun who appeared in Baiyun Temple today, and the dark line buried by a certain prince next to the prince - Li Shutang, and the prince's later female guard - Ouyang Yanran are the two ends, strung together the whole line. clue.

Qin Su's heart was icy cold, and he felt a kind of sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox again.

No wonder, the Xiao family will be the first to be destroyed.

How sensitive is Baiyun Temple?

In this place where Emperor Zhongyuan was deeply jealous, the Xiao family dared to have private contact with Prince Zhan Shicheng Li Shutang, what was their intention?

The retrial of Huan's "Ten Killables" case, and Xiao's responsibility for all the crimes, was it really because he was guilty, or because they touched the bottom line that the emperor couldn't touch?

This is probably the reason why the prince was finally abolished.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the biggest beneficiary of Huan's recovery.

It is still the 13th year of Zhongyuan, and the officials around the prince have secretly contacted Xiao.It is not difficult to imagine, what would Emperor Zhongyuan think when this matter was reported to Emperor Zhongyuan through the secret soldiers of Baiyun Temple?And two years later, when the crown prince Zhan Shicheng Li Shutang risked his life to remonstrate, what kind of shock would Emperor Zhongyuan feel in his heart?
What is the purpose of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planning to have a secret meeting with the Xiao family, and so eager to get the backer behind him to return to the court?

Even though Qin Su was not familiar with the major affairs of the court, he was able to deduce a frightening fact according to this context.

This series of events was the result of someone using the hands of Emperor Zhongyuan to overthrow the prince and the Huan clan in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos and eventually rise to power.And this person is the lord of Ouyang Yanran and Li Shutang, that is, the unknown prince.

Qin Su's eyes grew colder.

This person's calculation was well done, but it's a pity that the heart of an emperor is unpredictable in the end.

The unknown prince might not have imagined that after the prince was abolished, Emperor Zhongyuan became more indifferent to the princes, and he had no intention of establishing a prince at all. Until the fall of the Chen Kingdom, the position of prince was still vacant.

Qin Su couldn't help but curled her lips into a sneer.

People are not as good as the sky.

That prince was like Qin Yanbai, he thought he had a plan, but in the end he made a wedding dress for someone else.

Qin Su walked forward slowly, her perception, which had been dull and numb for a long time, finally gradually returned to her body.

Her heart was beating like a drum, her ears were buzzing, and a slight dizziness hit her, forcing her to stop again.

She had to calm down and think about which prince was that hurriedly glanced back.

If she remembers correctly, by the 23rd year of the Zhongyuan Emperor, there were a total of [-] princes under the Emperor Zhongyuan's knees. Excluding the abolished crown prince and the first prince who granted Prince Rui the fiefdom, the remaining eleven princes, old The oldest one under eight is no more than fifteen, which can be excluded. From the second child to the seventh child, they are all adult princes who are over twenty years old.

However, among these five people, both the sixth prince and the seventh prince are only ten years old this year, and they can be ignored for the time being. Then, only the second, third, and fourth princes are left.

Qin Su frowned and stood for a while, then walked forward again.

There are two things that she still can't figure out.

It was nine years ago when she was watched by "that person".Assuming that the person who set up the Qin family was one of these three princes, then nine years ago, the ages of these three princes were 12, 11 and [-] years old respectively.

It was hard for her to imagine that a 12-year-old child would have such a strong interest in a four-year-old little gentry outsider girl who was far away in Qingzhou.

From this, Qin Su could only deduce one possibility.

One of the three princes, with the help or instigation of the mother clan, exterminated the Qin family and intended to get his hands on the crown prince.

But the problem is that the mother clans of the three princes are all small clans, and the mother clans of the four princes are Han clan. From Qin Su's point of view, these clans are not even as good as the Qin clan.What can they do to calculate the nobles who are far away in Qingzhou?Don't talk about other things, just talk about the aloe and dream drunk, those clansmen can't afford it at all.

Thinking of this, Qin Su felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It is strange to say that when he was the prince, Emperor Zhongyuan seemed to be very keen on accepting women from the Xiao clan or the Han clan as concubines.However, after ascending to the throne, Emperor Zhongyuan lost interest in these small clans, and his concubines also began to turn to noble girls from the Guan clan.Therefore, starting from the seventh prince, the next little princes are actually much more noble than their elder brothers.

Qin Su pondered over the pros and cons repeatedly, her brows furrowed slightly.

She guessed that the reason why Emperor Zhongyuan never established a crown prince was also due to this consideration.He may want to select one of the noble princes to inherit the throne, and those princes are not too old, so he is not in a hurry to establish a heir, but unexpectedly, the country is ruined, and he is saved. The trouble of choosing is over.

With this thought, Qin Su's brows became more and more tightly frowned.

The previous question is still unresolved.

She couldn't figure out, these princes who were only in their early teens nine years ago, when their mother clan couldn't help them at all, would they really have the means and means to deploy the Qin family early?And if it wasn't for the help of the mother clan, who was the person who helped "that prince"?

In addition, another thing is also puzzling.

How could the Qin family be involved in this dangerous battle for the throne?What kind of grudge does that person or family hiding behind the prince have towards the Qin family, a downtrodden noble family?
In an instant, countless thoughts flooded in, making Qin Su almost unable to breathe, and his mind was in chaos.

She bent her body slightly, pretending to watch a clump of hosta flowers beside the path, sniffing the faint fragrance, while sorting out her thoughts.

Regardless of these princes, the most important thing at the moment is Xiao Jixun and Li Shutang. These two are the first problems that Qin Su needs to solve.

Based on what he saw today, Qin Su had three questions:
First, Xiao Jixun pretended to be a commoner and went to Beijing to have a private meeting with Li Shutang. What was his purpose?
Second, was Li Shutang's appearance in Baiyun Temple unintentional or intentional?Or even under his master's instructions, specially meeting Xiao's disciples here?
Regarding this question, Qin Su's answer is in favor of the latter.

The capital city is so big, with three inner cities and three outer cities, there are places for the secret meeting. "That prince" would not have chosen such a coincidence, but chose the Baiyun temple where the golden guard is buried.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

Since her rebirth, in Qin Su's eyes, all coincidences are conspiracies, unless she is allowed to see the evidence with her own eyes.

Then, if it is inferred based on this, the third question will follow.

Third, how did "that prince" know about Baiyun Temple? During the "Prince Jing Rebellion", none of these princes were born, who told him about this?
This point is indeed extremely difficult to figure out.
