Chapter 347 Sweet pastry
In the previous life, the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion and the Shen family were so closely tied together through Song Muxue, the girl of luck, that the two maps must have fallen into Shen Zhikang's hands very early.
With those two maps, even if they don't have military power, what does it matter? They can raise as many private soldiers as they want.
Since Song Muxue has been reborn, she will definitely not hide the matter of the map from Shen Zhikang, and she will do everything she can to get the map.
However, in this life, Song Muxue's status plummeted and she was no longer the most favored person like in her previous life. Although the Shen family still seemed to be in power in the court, they were constantly demoted and it was obvious that they were a spent force.
Ye Xuanrong was also repeatedly reprimanded by Emperor Qinglong, and his position was far less stable than in his previous life.
Given Song Shaozhang's opportunistic nature, these external factors were not enough to make him take out two maps.
After all, those two maps are the lifeblood of the entire Song family.
No wonder the Shen family's spies lurking in the army have been silent these days. No wonder they have once again supported Song Shaozhang and his two sons who had lost their usefulness. They really have good intentions.
What a pity, she got ahead of him in this life.
Yue Nanqi could clearly feel that there was an invisible hand behind Han Wan, and the owner of these hands might be the key to everything.
"It seems that Han Wan has to be kept. I'm really curious about who is hiding behind her."
Since Han Wan fled Northern Chu to resist the marriage with Xidi, she first excluded Xidi.
The remaining Nanyue, Northern Chu, and even the imperial nobles of Jin'an are all possibilities.
If it is really Jin An... then that person really deserves to die!
Han Wan thought she was acting very cautiously and without any mistakes, and had no idea that her every move was being watched.
Not only Zhou Feng and Xueying, but also people from Dali Temple.
Chongzheng Hall.
After listening to what Ye Xuanqi said, Emperor Qinglong looked gloomy: "I never thought that the Saint of Northern Chu was hiding in my Jin'an."
Qin Xubai tapped the table with his slender fingers: "Bei Chu has always used the extreme punishment of burning at the stake for saints who escaped. No saint has ever escaped Bei Chu's pursuit."
According to the secrets of Northern Chu that he had seen in the library of Shengyun Mountain, there had been many saints who were dissatisfied with being sent to marriage alliances as playthings, so some rose up in resistance while others secretly planned to escape.
But without exception, they were all suppressed and hunted back to Northern Chu, and finally died by burning at the stake.
It is also because of this that the saints who came after him became more and more submissive and resigned to their fates, and no one has ever been heard of resisting or escaping.
Han Wan was also the first person to be burned at the stake after the crackdown.
But compared with the saints of all generations, Han Wan's natural talent was just average, and there was no one else in Northern Chu to choose from, so the position of saint fell on her.
But it is really incredible that such an ordinary person could escape the pursuit of the Northern Chu Royal Army again and again after escaping, and even disappeared for a while.
Song Yunxi looked at Qin Xubai and said, "Brother, I want to send someone to Beichu to investigate."
It would be impossible for Han Wan to successfully escape from Beichu under the noses of the Beichu Royal Army alone, so the key to her successful escape must be in Beichu.
Since she couldn't find anything in Jin'an, she could only go to Beichu to check.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Xubai, waiting for his decision, even Emperor Qinglong was no exception.
However, in just one month, Qin Xubai only looked through the file records of all officials, compiled a list of officials to be rectified and handed it to Emperor Qinglong. He also proposed rectification plans based on the characteristics of each official, which really shocked him.
Emperor Qinglong was even thankful that the Qin family had no rebellious intentions, otherwise, with Qin Xubai's intelligence and talent, he would not have given the Ye family a chance to fight back and would have eliminated them and replaced them.
At the same time, Emperor Qinglong was also grateful to Emperor Taizu for saving the Qin family's ancestors' lives, which made the Qin family's ancestors establish an ancestral precept that they would be loyal to and assist the Ye family's royal family from generation to generation and would never betray them. Otherwise, with the qualifications of their Ye family... Haha, it would be like a joke for the Qin family to take over.
Ever since he learned about the Qin family's ancestral precepts from Song Wentian, and thinking about the Qin family's unparalleled elegance and appeal in the army, Emperor Qinglong even thought that if their Ye family was really incompetent, for the sake of the stability of the country and for Jin'an to no longer suffer like in the previous life, he is actually willing to abdicate and let others take over.
It's a pity that such a talented person like Qin Xubai can only be a minister assisting the emperor.
Qin Xubai smiled calmly: "No need to send anyone, I have sent a letter to Beichu to order people to investigate, there should be results soon."
Song Yunxi suddenly realized: "I forgot that my elder brother has always made arrangements."
After saying this, he glared at Emperor Qinglong in annoyance, leaving him completely confused.
[Humph, if it weren't for my eldest brother who cared about the country and didn't want the people to be displaced, and dragged his sick body to work hard with my father to plan, your Ye family would have been infiltrated by the other three countries and become a sieve, so there would be no place for you to live in peace and prosperity. ]
[Whenever I think of what this old man did to the Qin family, I really want to destroy his kingdom! ]
[Old man, just be thankful that you were born in Shengyun Mountain and are the elder brother that Dad values, and that you gave birth to a son destined for you. Otherwise... hehe! ]
Emperor Qinglong: Go ahead and scold me, but what does hum hum mean?
He glanced at Ye Xuanqi, who had a calm expression, without leaving any trace.
It is also important to have a good son.
But then I heard Song Yunxi's complaints again——
[Your good eldest son, who is destined to be yours, is also the daughter of the Queen, Qin, okay? ]
[Fortunately, Ye Xuanqi perfectly inherited all the genes of the Qin family. If he had been like you, an old thing, hehe...]
Emperor Qinglong: “…”
Come again? !
Please just finish your scolding clearly. If you scold him halfway, it will only make him feel worse.
[He only participated in Ye Xuanqi's production process for a little while. Now he is asked to reap the fruits. Just thinking about it, he is really unwilling! ]
Emperor Qinglong: What if I want to call someone to block her mind?
There was a smile in Ye Xuanqi's eyes hidden under his eyelids. If his mother knew that Song Yunxi was always on her side and protecting her, she would definitely be very happy.
Qin Xubai asked Song Yunxi: "Is the baby in Song Muxue's belly about to be born?"
Although she didn't know why he suddenly asked about that, Song Yunxi still answered truthfully: "Her body was damaged and it was difficult for her to conceive. I used drugs to force her to get pregnant. Even if the child made it to the birth, it would not survive."
The original plan was to use this child to turn Shen Zhikang and Ye Xuanrong against each other, but Song Yunxi never expected that Shen Zhikang was so ambitious that he wanted to use this child to take control of the Ye family and was willing to be cuckolded for the sake of power.
Ye Xuanrong wanted to use this child to make Concubine Shen give in, and Concubine Shen also attached great importance to Emperor Qinglong's only grandson.
This impossible child turned out to be so popular that Song Yunxi was dumbfounded for quite a while.
