Chapter 726: close surveillance
After a short silence, Tian Yuchan spoke again: "I blame that girl Jinqian for being ignorant, she was indeed a bit reckless, but she was eager to save her husband when the son-in-law was trapped in the enemy's line, so I asked Princess Pingning to do this." Sister-in-law, don't worry about her, when she returns to Beijing next year, I will definitely punish her."
"The empress dowager speaks seriously, this is also human nature."
Chu Nanzhi responded with a smile.
But hearing that Princess Qian will return to Beijing in the coming year, this made her vigilant.
Shang Shu Ling Ji Huai Shu has been in the south of the Yangtze River for some time, presumably the thorough investigation of Tang Confucianism is about to come to a conclusion.
Even if the queen mother tried her best to protect the couple, it was inevitable for Tang Ru to be dismissed from office.
But judging from the current situation, she would rather detain the couple in Luyan Port.
So she was afraid that Princess Qian would disappoint the Queen Mother when she asked Princess Qian to return to Beijing.
From the empress dowager's tone, Lin Tingyan had already noticed that she and King Qinghe were ready to act, otherwise he would not have revealed the tone of taking Lin Jinqian back to Beijing.
At this juncture, he wanted to take a closer look at Chu Nanzhi. Since the idea of letting Lin Jinxiao enter the capital was refuted, now he can only get rid of this person completely.
Just now when the palace people mentioned that Yin Enci had summoned the woman alone, he guessed that the Empress Dowager might secretly send the mother and son out of Beijing.
Looking secretly at Lin Jinke, he held his wine glass and said casually, "Nan Zhi, it's the first time you have entered Beijing, and King Ping Ning is far away in Luyan Port. This year's festival is really hard for you, but fortunately, uncles and brothers in Beijing... Not a lot, after the first day of the new year, I will ask the relatives of the clan to go to your house to walk around more."
As he spoke, he looked around at the people in the hall again, and continued: "You have been in Beijing for several months, and it is the first time you have seen many disciples of the clan today. It is just a good time to get acquainted with each other during this New Year's Eve."
"What Uncle Liu Huang said is absolutely true."
Lin Jinke also took advantage of the situation and echoed, "I heard that my Rui Yin and Princess Ruixi had some troubles a few days ago, and in a few days Brother Yu asked your sister-in-law to bring the children to the house for a reunion in person. Then you don't have to close the door to thank the guests." Yes."
"Brother Wang and Uncle Liu Huang are so enthusiastic, am I the one who doesn't know what is good and what is bad, and I will concentrate on waiting for you when I return home tonight."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a gentle smile.
Already guessed in his heart that these two people probably knew that he was about to leave Beijing, and were preparing to monitor him more closely.
It seems that the empress dowager's worries had to be brought to her attention. Today, the two just went out of the city to preside over a sacrificial ceremony together, and when they came back, they started colluding as if they were wearing a pair of trousers.
If you don’t leave Beijing during the New Year’s Eve, it will be even more difficult to go out of Beijing after the Lantern Festival is restored.
Yin Enci also noticed something strange, calmly picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip, just smiled indifferently:
"Today's imperial court must rely on all the relatives and nobles present here, Ting Yan and Jin Ke, you can care so much about Princess Ping Ning and live in harmony, the Ai Family is very pleased."
Afterwards, he made a deliberate statement: "At present, the government in Jiangnan is lax. Two days ago, Ji Shangshu sent back a report saying that there were a lot of old cases deposited in various places in Jiangnan. The princess is patrolling the south of the Yangtze River in the name of Da Sikou, and she will be ready to go to work after the New Year's Eve."
These words directly caused an uproar in the hall.
Lin Tingyan secretly glanced at Lin Jinke, who was astonished. Although he had already guessed the plot here, he did not expect that the old ancestor would take the initiative to tell everyone.
In this way, it will not be easy to detain this woman in Beijing.
But this is definitely not the best time for Lin Jinke to force the palace. If the news of Luyan Port's removal of Lin Jinxiao is not heard, there is no chance of winning.
After careful deliberation, he calmed down and decided to watch a good show.
It is easy to enter Beijing, but it is not easy to go back.
From Jingling City to Pingning Prefecture, there are old disciples of the Tang family everywhere along the way. He would like to see how the Empress Dowager sent Chu Nanzhi, mother and son out of Beijing.
At this time, Lin Jinke also began to think about how to stop Chu Nanzhi.
"After the New Year's Eve."
He was thinking silently in his heart.
If Lin Jinxiao can be eliminated before the Lantern Festival, the worries of the future will be resolved, and with the 30,000 cavalry under his command and the Tang family's trilogy stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, it will be easy to take down Jingling City. .
Thinking of this, he no longer had the mood to have a banquet, and after congratulating Chu Nanzhi, he hurriedly left with an excuse.
Back in the mansion, they began to plan to send a letter to Tang Ru to assassinate Lin Jinxiao, and then ordered his cronies to continue to detain Xie Jingchen in Beijing as a hostage. As long as Pingning Prefecture was disturbed, even if Lin Jinxiao was not dead, he would not care about him.
After the banquet was over, the clan and nobles left one after another. Yin Enci reluctantly called the quadruplets to him, and told him: "When you return to Luyan Port, the four of you must obediently listen to the words of your father and mother. Take good care of your mother and concubine for your great-grandmother."
"Great-grandmother, we know."
Knowing that they will be going home soon, although the quadruplets were happy, they suddenly felt reluctant to part with this kind old man.
"go Go."
Yin Enci stroked the little ones one by one, and looked at Chu Nanzhi meaningfully, knowing that the return journey was extremely difficult and dangerous, but there was only so much he could do for them now.
Let her go out of Beijing according to the order, which should save some trouble along the way.
Right now, it depends on whether the Queen Mother's party dares to openly commit chaos at this juncture.
Leaving the palace and sitting back in the carriage, Chang Lao and Nie Lao let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at Chu Nanzhi who looked restless, Chang Yanjue couldn't help asking: "Nan Zhi, your ancestor told you to go out of Beijing, so that we can go back to our hometown after the New Year's Eve, why are you still so sad?" ?”
"The two elders can see the strangeness of Liuhuangshu and King Qinghe today?"
Chu Nanzhi didn't say it bluntly, but just reminded him tactfully.
"Your Sixth Emperor Uncle is now highly regarded by the ancestors and His Majesty. He is proud of the spring breeze. Knowing that you are a celebrity in front of the ancestors and His Majesty, there is nothing wrong with wanting to treat you more kindly."
Nie Huai'an frowned suspiciously: "It's just that Qinghe King is indeed a bit abnormal today, and this old man thinks that these two people may have some fancy things hidden in their hearts."
"Now that Jinxiao has stabilized the situation in Pingning Prefecture, even though King Qinghe is ambitious, he probably doesn't have the guts to openly rebel. The end of King Nandu has been witnessed by everyone, so he probably won't want to follow in his footsteps."
Chang Yanjue pouted angrily.
"Yang Runchen was executed, and the idiot's life experience can no longer be concealed. How could King Qinghe be willing to let His Majesty and the old ancestor welcome the idiot back."
Chu Nanzhi gritted her teeth and replied: "This person will definitely rebel. We have to leave Beijing before the Lantern Festival. This is what our ancestors meant."
"Could it be that the ancestors are no longer able to control the current situation?"
Chang Yanjue looked at Chu Nanzhi in surprise.
"I believe that the ancestors will be able to stabilize the court situation."
Chu Nanzhi replied firmly.
"It's good that the ancestors arranged it like this, but we must plan for the worst in everything."
Now that the matter has come to this point, Nie Huai'an can only imagine things in the best way: "Letting your mother and son stay in Beijing is really a great hidden worry."
Chu Nanzhi realized this, and began to silently calculate the date of leaving Beijing.
