All Hail Cousin Brother

Concubine Lan has thoroughly understood the Holy Will. For the emperor, "not fighting" is more useful than "fighting". From the beginning, she has adopted the posture of "not fighting". In the future, she will be labeled as "fighting for the reserve and chaos in government". It can't reach her head.

Many things seem to have nothing to do with Concubine Lan, but if you think about it carefully, Concubine Lan's shadow is everywhere in the affairs of the court, big and small.

Yin Huaixi added: "Concubine Lan really didn't know that Gu Yushi had defected to Prince Liang, and that the one who got involved with Prince Liang was Jiazhou Mansion."

People are unpredictable, and the ancient censor is not very prominent in the court. Perhaps even Concubine Lan herself did not pay attention to a mere ancient censor, so people took advantage of her.

After hunting geese all day long, she was eventually pecked by geese. Although the ancient censor's move allowed Concubine Lan to achieve her goal, why didn't she make a wedding dress for Prince Liang? !

Speaking of Jiazhou Mansion, Yu Youyao's pretty face darkened, and she pursed her lips unconsciously: "I thought Jiazhou Mansion had always belonged to Prince Liang, but it turned out that he was a slave with the second surname."

Obviously, she was still bitter about the incident of attacking Xie Mansion because of Jiazhou Mansion.

There was a deep feeling in Yin Huaixi's eyes: "The former Marquis of Weining is now Uncle Ning Yuan, and he had the kindness to meet him in Jiazhou Prefecture. Jiazhou Prefecture has always been a lowly person, and won the trust of Uncle Ning Yuan. Jiazhou Prefecture was transferred to Quanzhou, and it was also the reason why Marquis Weining was transferred to Quanzhou. With all his strength, Jiazhou Prefecture lived up to the trust of Marquis Weining during his tenure in Quanzhou. The filial piety sent to him every year allowed Concubine Lan to live extravagantly in the palace, sell people's hearts, build a dojo for the emperor, refine elixirs, and win the Holy Heart. , so the Holy Family is prosperous, and Concubine Lan has great trust in Jiazhou Mansion."

Yu Youyao understood immediately: "Jiazhou Mansion is actually Concubine Lan's money bag."

Yin Huaixi nodded.

When Yu Youyao was in Quanzhou, he had brief contact with Jiazhou Prefecture, and also sent people to check the character of Jiazhou Prefecture: "Jiazhou Prefecture has been the prefecture government in Quanzhou for more than ten years. Officials are evaluated every three years, and the outstanding ones are evaluated. Will be given priority in getting transfer opportunities. Jiazhou Mansion is backed by Concubine Lan, who was still the imperial concubine at the time. There is no way she has not been transferred for more than ten years. Concubine Lan has no intention of letting Jiazhou Mansion continue to be promoted. She wants him to stay in Quanzhou Crucified, keep helping yourself get money."

Quanzhou's business is prosperous and developed, and its resources are rich. Controlling Quanzhou is equivalent to controlling a steady stream of resources and money.

At that time, the Weining Marquis Mansion was powerful, with party members all over the court.

If you want to win over people's hearts and cultivate party members, money is an indispensable part. In this way, the importance of Quanzhou to the Marquis of Weining's Mansion is highlighted.

Jiazhou Mansion has shown extraordinary ability to attract money, so how could Concubine Lan be willing to transfer him elsewhere?

Yin Huaixi poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Yu Youyao reached out to take it, took a sip, and then continued: "Jiazhou Prefecture is an old treacherous man with ruthless methods. He will definitely not be willing to accept it. He will only be a fourth-grade local official in his life to make money for Concubine Lan, but Due to the great power of Weininghou Mansion and Concubine Lan's favor, she did not dare to act rashly."

Judging from the way Jiazhou Mansion deals with people, this person is cunning and extremely ambitious, and he will definitely not be willing to be subordinate to others.

"It wasn't until Uncle Ningyuan lost power and Concubine Lan entered the cold palace. Concubine Lan was in the Jiazhou Prefecture. She saw no chance of further promotion and did not want to be controlled by Concubine Lan all her life. Then she secretly took refuge with Prince Liang. Moreover, Prince Liang had previously There is collusion with Weininghou Mansion. The two sides need to exchange information. Controlling Jiazhou Mansion in Quanzhou is an important part. Jiazhou Mansion has been involved with Prince Liang since early on. It has been difficult to escape. He has no choice. "

Taking refuge with the King of Liang was motivated by ambition but also out of desperation.

Yin Huaixi nodded and suddenly said: "Jiazhou Prefecture is like a grasshopper after autumn. It can only hop around for a few days." He said casually: "After a while, the news of our marriage spread. After Liang Wang took Quanzhou, he was the first The person to be killed is Jiazhou Prefecture."

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment: "Why? Jiazhou Mansion participated in King Liang's conspiracy to rebel so early. It shows that King Liang trusted him very much. King Liang was able to successfully control Quanzhou, and Jiazhou Mansion also contributed a lot. Even if King Liang took Quanzhou directly, , we must also rely on Jiazhou Prefecture to continue to control Quanzhou."

"Why else?" Yin Huaixi slightly raised the corners of his lips and looked at her with a concentration that made people blush and heartbeat: "You are my fiancée! From the day the Queen Mother conferred marriage on us, our relationship has been We are one body, and from now on we share the honor and disgrace, the misfortunes and the blessings.”

There was another very important reason why he planned to marry the Queen Mother.

That is the marriage given by the heavenly family. The engagement cannot be canceled, let alone divorced.

This paper-granted marriage can bind him and Yu Youyao for life.

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment, then blushed and understood immediately.

The reason why Jiazhou Mansion attacked Xie Mansion was because of the instruction of King Liang. At that time, King Liang did not pay attention to a small county owner who was far away from Jingzhao.

Today is different from the past, she has become King Wu Mu's fiancée.

The Xie Mansion's withdrawal from Quanzhou was not spread due to various reasons, but the parties involved knew it well. At least on the surface, King Liang would not be in trouble with King Wu Mu, and would not leave anyone behind who had offended him. The person who knew the "Future Princess Wu Mu" was around to avoid being false.

No matter what the reason for Liang Wang's rebellion, it was treason.

But at least on the surface, it must be tenable.

This matter involved Princess Shaoyi, the Xie Mansion, and now even King Wu Mu was involved, so King Liang had to treat it with caution.

Once word spread about Jiazhou Prefecture's persecution of the county lord, it would be easy to think of the anomalies in the ban on Quanzhou and the fact that Liang Wang easily took Quanzhou directly. It would be easy to think that Liang Wang and Jiazhou Prefecture had colluded in the early Together.

So the Liang King's rebellion was premeditated.

Although this is a fact, at least on the surface, it cannot be taken advantage of.

Therefore, it was somewhat untenable for the King of Liang to raise his troops with such high-sounding excuses as "the princes were fighting for the throne and disrupting the government, and the harem was disrupting the imperial court", "clearing the emperor's rules", and "zheng Chaoyang".

The King of Liang would not talk about this kind of thing. If he abandoned the mere Jiazhou Prefecture, everything that happened back then would be unproven and Jiazhou Prefecture would become the scapegoat.

If Yu Youyao and the Xie Mansion had been brutally murdered, and if Yu Youyao had not been granted a marriage to King Wu Muding of the North, the situation would have been different.

In short, King Liang was afraid of King Wu Mu Dingbei.

Yu Youyao avoided his shockingly bright eyes: "By the way, if King Liang raises an army, you, King Wu Muding, who guards the northern border, will definitely not be able to stand by and watch. The Liaodong area is the first frontier. It not only bears the responsibility of resisting foreign enemies, but also It also echoes Jingzhao."

Yin Huaixi said quietly: "Just wait and see when King Liang will raise his army."

Yu Youyao thought about it carefully, and his eyes suddenly widened.

…

At this time, King Liang, who was mentioned by Yu Youyao and Yin Huaixi, was also discussing with his cronies when to raise troops.

The King of Liang wore a suit of armor and sat at the head of the hall. On both sides of the hall were several staff members dressed as scribes and generals also wearing armor.
