Jin Ju's name was Jin Sen.
As for the relatives of Queen Mother Xu’s ex-husband, the two brothers were named Jin Xin and Jin Miao respectively.
This is of course a coincidence.
The names are all composed of five elements, and they are all three same characters superimposed. The word "sen" is far more common than the word "xin" and "miao". Since the Jin family in Zunhua Prefecture has Jin Xin and Jin Miao, why can't there be Jinsen?
Haitang asked Haijiao: "Is this Jin family from Zunhua Prefecture, Zhili?"
Hai Jiao shook his head: "How do I know? I heard that many people in the capital secretly joked that his family were bumpkins from the countryside, but I don't know which countryside they came from. Anyway, they are not too far away. The Jin family once lived in Jinxin After being promoted, he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. It only took half a month to go back and forth. Their hometown was probably in the Zhili area. However, Empress Dowager Xu married into the palace for the second time. For the sake of the dignity of the new monarch, the powerful officials in the capital were taboo to mention it. If she wants to discuss her ex-husband’s affairs, she won’t do it in front of others.”
Haitang was silent for a moment and lowered his voice: "Brother, if this Jin Sen is really related to the brothers Jin Xin and Jin Miao, could he be the ex-husband of Queen Mother Xu?"
Hai Jiao blinked and his expression changed slightly: "Can't you? They should just be from the same clan!" If Xu Jiashu, as a descendant of another brother of the Jin family, was afraid of the relationship between the second brother of the Jin family and Concubine Xu Xian in the capital, he did not dare to reveal his identity. , that makes sense.
But Haitang thinks this doesn't make sense: "Xu Jiashu said it himself, the Jin family only has two families, and the eldest family only has Jin Juren and his son, and there is no third family. But if they are not from the same clan, why should the second family of the Jin family inherit Jin Juren's property? Concubine Xu Xian has not yet As a queen mother, it is impossible for her to publicly protect her ex-husband’s relatives!”
Hai Jiao looked ugly and had to admit that he was wrong.
However, if Jin Sen is really Queen Mother Xu's ex-husband, the information he heard in his previous life cannot be accurate.
Empress Dowager Xu had a grudge against Concubine Sun because the Sun family was involved in the death of her ex-husband's son. She probably entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager in order to avenge her ex-husband's son, and then became Emperor Deguang's concubine. The eighth prince is now almost four years old, and Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband and son have been dead for at least five years. How could it be possible that she was in danger on the outskirts of Chang'an last night? !
If Jin Sen and Jin Juren were Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband, wouldn't it mean that Concubine Xu Xian entered the palace and became a concubine while her husband was still alive, and she also gave birth to an heir for the emperor? What is the emperor? Will you seize my wife?
Haitang knew that this guess was a bit scary, but some things in the world are so bloody: "Brother, can you confirm the year in which Concubine Xu Xian entered the palace in her previous life? In which year did she say that her ex-husband's son was killed by someone from the Sun family? "
Hai Jiao's face turned even darker.
No, no one knows what year Concubine Xu Xian entered the palace. Anyway, when the relatives and ministers outside the palace saw her beside the Queen Mother, she had already served the emperor and made meritorious service. As for the claim that the death of her ex-husband's son had something to do with the Sun family, that was revealed by the Empress Dowager Zhou privately to the royal concubine, and Concubine Xian did not deny it. That should be...not long before Empress Dowager Zhou died, the female members of the clan came to the palace to visit her. Before that, the Empress Dowager Zhou had been closed to the palace for many years and had always refused greetings from foreign wives. Outsiders could not see her.
Empress Dowager Zhou is still alive and will probably not die until next year. Calculating the time, if Concubine Xu Xian’s ex-husband was killed this winter, it would be right for the news to reach Queen Mother Zhou next year!
But this guess is too scary. The reef is a bit unbearable. He quickly checked outside the door to make sure no one was passing by, then turned back and lowered his voice very low: "Little sister, you can't talk nonsense about this. If anyone knows about it, it will be terrible!"
Haitang has experienced the world for a long time and is much calmer than him: "Brother, if this is true, the Empress Dowager Zhou must know the truth. Can she recommend Concubine Xu Xian to the emperor, and will it cause future troubles? Her relationship with the emperor is not very good. . If she hid the truth from the emperor and caused the emperor to bear the stigma of seizing his minister's wife, what good would it do to the Zhou family? I think that when Concubine Xu Xian was named a concubine, she must have reconciled with her ex-husband. Even if there was no reconciliation in the first place. , Queen Mother Zhou will also help her reconcile."
If Concubine Xu Xian divorces and becomes the emperor's concubine, as long as there is no trouble in her ex-husband's family, no one will publicize that the emperor seizes his wife.
Besides, Jin Juren’s step-brothers had given birth to a six or seven-year-old son for him. Counting the time, Concubine Xu Xian was just a maid beside the Queen Mother at that time! The fact that Jin Juren can get married for the second time proves that their marriage has ended long ago.
Hai Jiao calmed down a little: "You are right. If Empress Dowager Xu had really become a concubine to the emperor before she lost her husband or reconciled, she would not have been able to promote the Jin family so openly. Concubine Sun and her family I have talked so much about her, but I have never mentioned that she left her husband and son to enter the palace, which shows that this matter is not a handle."
Haitang said: "But since Queen Mother Xu dared to say that the Sun family was related to the death of her ex-husband's son, and Concubine Sun did not deny it, then the killer who blocked the road and killed the Jin family last night... was a member of the Sun family."
Hai Jiao clenched his fist: "Yes! The Sun family has this strength! At that time, if we wanted to sneak into the Sun Mansion to find out the news, we had to go through the security guard of his family first. For this reason, many people died - his family secretly raised many dead people. Many of them are masters of killing without blinking an eye."
However, Chang'an is the headquarters of the Zhou family. How did the Sun family send dead soldiers to sneak in? If they dare to do such a thing under the eyes of the Zhou family, aren't they afraid of being caught by the Zhou family?
"We need to let the Zhou family know about this..." Hai Jiao had just had this idea, and immediately thought of another thing, "Xu Jiashu's robe...the letter hidden in the cuffs, and the wax seal was printed with The word 'Zhou'! Could it be a letter written by Empress Dowager Zhou of the capital or Master Zhou of Chengenhou? Could Jin Juren have come to see the Zhou family? But...why would Xu Jiashu deny it?"
Haitang raised her eyebrows: "This shows that Xu Jiashu is probably suspicious of the Zhou family... When he first woke up, he heard that this was the Zhou family's village, and he was very wary. Since it might be a killer sent by the Sun family, why? Will Xu Jiashu be on guard against the Zhou family?"
Could it be that the killer claimed to be sent by the Zhou family? Is the Sun family planning to blame the Zhou family and sow discord between Concubine Xu Xian, Queen Mother Zhou and the Zhou family?
As for why the Zhou family sent people to kill Jin Juren and his family... If Jin Juren is really Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband, the Zhou family didn't want this secret to be known to the world, so they sent a killer to kill her. It sounds reasonable.
However, Concubine Xu Xian has been a concubine for four or five years, and her son is almost four years old. The Zhou family just sent someone to kill her now. Is it too late? What's more, what's the use of just killing Jin Juren and his family? The second wife of the Jin family is still there. There are always relatives and friends of the Jin family who know Jin Juren's ex-wife. Who can't prove that Concubine Xu Xian was once the wife of the Jin family? The Zhou family's killing was just to kill a lonely person, and the gain outweighed the loss. Once Concubine Xu Xian finds out, she will turn one of her own people into enemies, so why bother?
Anyone with any brain would know that this kind of thing is impossible. What is Xu Jiashu so stupid about? !
Haijiao scratched his hair and was also confused.
He still couldn't figure it out: "Why did the Sun family send people to kill Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband and son? Doesn't his concubine Sun hate Concubine Xu Xian the most? Why did she take the initiative to help Concubine Xu Xian get rid of future troubles?"
Haitang suddenly paused: "The killers are not here to silence... they are here to arrest people!" She looked at her brother, "They are here to arrest Xu Jiashu... no, it's Jin Jiashu! He is the son of Concubine Xu Xian and Jin Juren. With him. , Concubine Sun will have the leverage to threaten Concubine Xu Xian!"
