Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

Jiang Yan knew all the things Yonghe did this year. Yonghe's progress was faster and more successful than he thought.

Even he didn't expect that Yonghe would use the way of doing business to make the people of Yonghe rich.

"There's no way around it. Brother, you don't know how I feel when I see those barren lands. As long as I have enough food and clothing, I can do whatever I want, right?"

Yonghe had someone prepare some local refreshments for Jiang Yan, which were not as exquisite as those in the palace, and even she was not used to the taste when she first came here, but after eating for a year, she still feels very good now.

While watching her brother eating, she told him what she had done this year.

"By the way, brother, why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong?" Chang'an is thousands of miles away, but Yonghe doesn't think that his brother came here by accident.

"It's not a big deal. It's just a routine inspection of the army. People from tomorrow should go to Yongcheng. At that time, they will go to the barracks you manage to inspect it. It's true. After I go back, I can give it to my father." An explanation from the emperor."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Yonghe's eyes were full of excitement. She took over the Yongcheng Barracks a year ago. She thinks her training is still very good, but she doesn't know if she can meet the requirements of her father, if not It's also good to let her know where the shortcomings are.

Jiang Yan and Yonghe were going well in Yongcheng, but there were some troubles in the palace. First of all, Li Shimin's proposal written by Qingyun finally passed. After a year, she can also go to her fief to show off.

But every two days after Qingyun left, Zhaoyang fell ill, and his condition became violent. He fell into a coma immediately, and the imperial doctor treated him for several days without any effect.

If the matter only developed to this point, Empress Changsun would be able to deal with it with ease. She and Zhaoyang are not close to each other. As the first mother, she can only let the imperial doctor watch over her, and don't be vague about medication.

But at this time, Situ Yinping, the maid beside Zhaoyang, ran up to Li Shimin, claiming that the princess was poisoned before she fell into a coma, and that someone bribed the imperial doctor, so the imperial doctor claimed that she was ill and did not say that she was poisoned. .

Of course Li Shimin was furious when he said this, how could his daughter be poisoned in the palace?Immediately convened all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital for a consultation, and the result was really poisoning, and there was an uproar in the palace for a while.

The imperial doctor who originally diagnosed and treated Zhaoyang was taken into custody and handed over to the Criminal Ministry for interrogation. The mastermind behind the scenes must be interrogated, and the entire palace began to investigate.

Empress Changsun was also shocked. She didn't expect that there would be poisoning in the harem. It seems that she underestimated these people in the harem before. Those intrigues never stopped, but she was covered by her high position. eyes only.

"This matter is my concubine's dereliction of duty. The emperor rest assured that my concubine will investigate everything and return Zhaoyang justice."

"It must be thoroughly investigated. Even the princess dares to do something, why not dare?" Li Shimin was really angry this time. He wanted to take care of thousands of miles, so he put less energy on the affairs of the harem. Never thought that such a thing would happen.

In fact, after a thorough investigation of this matter, the murderer is really easy to find. It took Empress Changsun less than three days to get clues from various clues, first of all, where the poison came from and how it was poisoned. , Who is the person who bought the imperial doctor?

Three days later, Zhaoyang came back to life under the care of the imperial doctor, and Li Shimin in the Hall of Qinzheng also saw the real culprit of the poisoning, which was Concubine Wei Gui.

When seeing Concubine Wei Gui, Li Shimin was no less astonished than when he knew Zhaoyang was poisoned, "What else can you say?"

"The evidence is solid, and the concubine has nothing to say." Concubine Wei Gui knelt on the ground in a fine attire, and looked at Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress above her, "The empress is indeed virtuous. It took me three days to find me. Even the poison has not had time to destroy it."

"You poisoned people, what does it have to do with the queen? Don't talk about it." Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Since you have confessed everything, for the sake of being Xuetong's mother, I will depose you as the noble concubine. Into the limbo, never to go out."

Concubine Wei lowered her eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty, you are sitting on thousands of miles of land and do not allow others to invade, but you can allow your own children to divide it up. The prince has come into contact with the government, and the eldest princess and the second princess went to the fief one after another. Do you want them to set up their own family?" ? Have you ever thought about the inadequacy of the heart, have you ever thought about the day when brothers and sisters will kill each other?"

After Concubine Wei finished speaking, Li Shimin didn't give her a chance to speak again, so someone dragged her down, but Li Shimin and Empress Changsun listened to her words.

Empress Changsun has never understood why Li Shimin agreed to let Yonghe go to fief the land, but she had always supported what her husband did before, but now that the matter of Concubine Wei appeared, she had to pay attention to this matter.

"Your Majesty, does Your Majesty have other plans regarding the matter of Yonghe and Qingyun? What Concubine Wei said makes some sense. After all, people's hearts are the most unpredictable..."

"I have a sense of proportion in this matter. The empress should not be paranoid because of Webster's few words. She will be thrown into the cold palace. In the future, Xuetong will rely more on the empress."

"The concubine knows, she must take care of Xuetong more, Your Majesty can rest assured." She is Xuetong's aunt, and she can't take care of an eight-year-old child.

When Jiang Yan came back from Yongcheng, the matter had already been settled, the evidence was conclusive, and no one from the Wei family in the court said anything.

On the contrary, Empress Changsun has always been uneasy because of Concubine Wei's words. Her son is the crown prince, the future monarch. If it becomes stronger and bigger, there is no guarantee that the situation Wei Guifei said will not happen.

Even if her own children wouldn't turn against each other, what about others?His Majesty has one son and six daughters, all of whom are not stupid. Throughout history, it is not uncommon for brothers and sisters to turn against each other.

"My queen, Yonghe has managed Yongcheng in an orderly manner this year, and the people are rich. I believe that after three years, the level of prosperity will be comparable to that of Chang'an City."

"Not only that, but also the army. The soldiers are well-trained and physically strong, and they are equal to frontier soldiers."

Jiang Yan talked about Yonghe's various achievements, and the more he talked about Empress Changsun, the more flustered she became. She didn't care about those things before, she only thought that her daughter didn't want to marry, and it would be good to let her go out and hide for three years. I didn't expect her to be real If she has this ability, and Qingyun also went, His Majesty is willing to let her go, presumably Qingyun has enough ability.

"Yan'er, in your opinion, does Yonghe really have the ability to become the lord of a city? I have to take Wei Guifei's words to heart. You are all the children of the empress, and the empress does not want to see the day when you meet in battle. .”

Empress Changsun frankly expressed her anxiety, not to mention being in the royal family, even ordinary people, parents do not want their children to fight to the death for property.

"The mother is anxious, does this mean that she doesn't believe me? The mother thinks that both Yonghe and Qingyun have gone to the fief, and there may be a day when they will become bigger and stronger in the future. At that time, people will not be enough, and they will swallow me up if they want more place, but does the empress really think there will be such a day?"

Empress Changsun looked at the tall and confident Jiang Yan in front of her, and sighed silently, "Of course the queen mother believes in your ability, but fierce things will happen when ordinary people compete for family property, and the royal family fights even more to the death."

"Qingyun and the other princesses are not the flesh that fell from me. I don't care what I want to do, but the last thing my mother wants to see is that you will have a dispute with Yonghe one day, to the point of life and death."

"There is no need to worry about this queen mother. If Yonghe can really become the king of a country one day, I will let Xian, and the situation that the queen mother said will definitely not happen."

Jiang Yan turned around and brought a cup of tea to Empress Changsun, and put a pill in the teacup where no one saw it, "It's too early for the queen mother to worry about this, the father is in the prime of life, what about the throne?" You and I can make a decision, drink a cup of tea to calm down, sleep peacefully, and when the queen wakes up, I will tell the queen about Yonghe."

"You're right, I was worrying too much." It's too early to talk about things that haven't happened yet.

Empress Changsun took a sip of tea and really felt exhausted all over. Jiang Yan called Wenyan to help Empress Changsun go back to the bedroom to rest.

Jiang Yan understands Empress Changsun's anxiety. She is totally led astray by Concubine Wei, and Concubine Wei really thinks that way. After Yonghe Qingyun is Zhaoyang, and she has hatred with Zhaoyang, so she thinks With such a trick of poisoning, Zhaoyang would never be given a chance.

Concubine Wei Gui didn't do anything to Zhaoyang for so many years, it should be because Zhaoyang is not threatening, but she is just a princess, and when she grows up, getting married has nothing to do with the palace.

Empress Changsun obviously didn't care about Zhaoyang, and Concubine Wei felt that she could do something about Zhaoyang's marriage. By then, Zhaoyang would be unable to escape for the rest of her life, but who knew what happened with Yonghe and Qingyun, Zhaoyang As soon as the signal that Yang might be out of her control came out, Concubine Wei panicked.

What's more, it's really like what she said, people's hearts are not enough, she also has a daughter, but her daughter is the youngest, she has ambitions, so naturally if she wants to swallow the elephant, she must eliminate the previous obstacles as much as possible. cleared.

Zhaoyang didn't have a biological mother in the palace, and ordinary people from her ancestral home couldn't give her any help. All she could rely on was Li Shimin's love for her, so it was very natural that she became the first target of Concubine Wei Gui .

"Brother Huang."

Outside the East Palace, a small head emerged from behind a tree. Jiang Yan couldn't help being surprised when he saw it. His round face had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were full of tension.

Jiang Yan walked over but didn't see the maid, "Did you come here alone?"

Xuetong nodded, his big eyes were a little wet, and he was very cute, "Brother Huang, I heard that you are coming back today, so I came to see you."

"Is there something you want from me?"

"The matter about my concubine mother..." Xuetong knew that her concubine mother had done something wrong, and she might never see her again, "Everyone in the palace stopped me from seeing my concubine mother, and they refused to help me." Send things, brother, can you help me send a letter to my mother and concubine?"

"Of course, you can give me the letter." Concubine Wei Gui just entered the cold palace, strictly guarding outsiders from entering, but it is still possible to ask Empress Changsun to help deliver a letter.

Xuetong took out a letter and a handkerchief from his sleeve, "I embroidered this handkerchief myself. The pattern my concubine taught me before, but I was lazy and didn't embroider it until now. I want my concubine to embroider it." See, please trouble your brother."

"No trouble, your mother and concubine will be very happy to see it."

Jiang Yan said, seeing that Xuetong's eyes were red again, but he tried not to let the tears fall, "Thank you, Brother Huang, I'll go back first."

As he said that, he turned around and ran, Jiang Yan looked at her small figure, he watched Xuetong grow up, Concubine Wei took good care of this daughter, and wished to give her all the good things.

The imperial palace is the place where the warmth and coldness of human beings are most easily revealed. Concubine Wei lost her power, and she was thrown into the cold palace because of her guilt. Although Xuetong is only eight years old, she must feel that.

The next day, Jiang Yan gave the letter and handkerchief to Empress Changsun. Empress Changsun understood that Xuetong was separated from her mother and concubine at a young age, so she and Li Shimin suggested that Concubine Wei Guifei write a letter to Xuetong every month to make up for Xuetong's missing mother. Don't worry, of course what Concubine Wei Gui wrote must be checked, and she can't teach Xuetong badly.

Li Shimin agreed after a little thought. In the cold palace, Concubine Wei Gui couldn't get in touch with the outside world. It was impossible to do anything else. Just beware of her teaching Xuetong to do bad things.

"Besides, you need to put in more effort. You have to have someone re-copy all of Webster's letters to Xuetong, and give the transcribed ones to Xuetong, so as to prevent her from sending messages to Xuetong where you haven't noticed. "

Li Shimin thought about it and said that these things really need to be paid attention to.

"The concubine knows what to do."

Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei are both from big families, and they have dabbled in the way of concealing news, as long as you look carefully, you will find clues, but let the palace people copy it with the same handwriting, so as to prevent her from being confused in the words. Make a fuss.

Although it may be useless for them to do so, it is much easier to just in case than to make up for it after finding out.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun gave Concubine Wei accommodating in this matter entirely because of Xuetong, but Zhaoyang, the victim of this incident, was obviously not convinced. She was almost poisoned to death, but Concubine Wei just changed I moved to a place to live, and the food and clothing were not as noble as the noble concubines before, but they were still much better than the common people outside the palace.

He can even communicate with his daughter, which seems to be the same as before, especially when he met Xuetong, seeing those eyes full of resentment, Zhaoyang felt that his father was too unfair to her.
