Shen Cha knew the ten years that Old Man Qian mentioned.
After the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Jin returned to Yiqing Mansion without saying goodbye, it didn't take long for Aunt Xue to marry Uncle Xue under the arrangement of her family. Although the process went a bit quickly and unexpectedly, But looking back now, Shen Cha admires the old lady's foresight. This is a very decisive and wise decision. It can at least temporarily save Aunt Xue's life and reputation. After all, the majesty of the Wuding Marquis Mansion is displayed there, and no one Dare to challenge authority easily.
It was probably less than two years since Wu Dinghou and Mrs. Wu Dinghou got married. Xue Ruitian was born in Xijing City and grew up smoothly. When he was six or seven years old, his family followed Shen Jiajun and Zhenguo Gongfu to the border pass to build Jiaping Pass City. It has taken root here ever since.
Under the leadership of Zhen Guogong and Wu Dinghou, the Shen army fought against the Liao and Jin Dynasties thousands of times in Jiaping Pass, and tried their best to keep them out of the pass and protect the border area.
As more and more battles were won, as more and more enemy generals were killed, and the fame grew, the Shen Jiajun also became famous all over the world. Every time the Shen Jiajun was mentioned, the generals of Liao and Jin were all covered with blood unconsciously. Shivering. However, as the Daxia border army became more and more powerful, more and more agents tried their best to sneak into Jiaping Pass, and their weight and status in the country became more and more important.
It was under such circumstances that the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Jin reunited with his former sweetheart.
At that time, Shen Cha was still young and spent most of his time lying in bed recovering from illness. Occasionally he could only go out of the house and walk in the yard. But even so, the news was not blocked at all. What happened outside? , all know clearly.
Until now, she had a big question, which was why the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom came to Jiaping Pass in person to contact the so-called Xi Zuo. In her opinion, even if the eldest prince is no longer loved by the old King of Jin, he still holds a high position in the Kingdom of Jin. He is the legitimate heir of the old King of Jin and the next king of the Kingdom of Jin. How could he risk his life alone and run away? Going to a border town of an enemy country and meeting his former sweetheart by chance? She would never believe it if there was nothing fishy about it.
Thinking of this, Shen Cha turned her attention to Old Man Qian again. Now she had reason to suspect that the reason why the eldest prince took the risk to come to Jiaping Pass was most likely calculated by someone, and the driving force behind the scenes was definitely the Tantai family. It cannot be separated.
"At the beginning, when the eldest prince disguised himself and sneaked into Jiaping Pass to meet Madam Xuehou, was it the Tantai family's work, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed related to us." Old Man Qian admitted frankly, "At that time, the person who contacted us had changed from Mrs. Wanyan's sister to Wanyan Ping. This girl's behavior style has completely inherited ours The Tantai family is evil-minded and ruthless, and will completely destroy what they can't get without leaving any trace of human kindness." He looked at Shen Cha, who had no expression on his face, and shrugged, "This child has no respect for that person. The eldest prince of the Kingdom of Jin was very affectionate. The eldest prince never gave her any response and even avoided her, which made her very dissatisfied. In fact, we can't figure out what she is dissatisfied with. According to According to the head of the family, it's your business to like someone, and you can't force them to respond to you. But Wanyanping, this girl, is so paranoid that it goes beyond our imagination. She doesn't get any response, and is even treated very hard. After she refused, she started to hate her because of love, and she vowed not to give up until she killed the eldest prince. You know the queen that Queen Jin married, right? She was the one who gave birth to the little prince."
"I know!" Shen Cha nodded. He was stunned when he saw the evil smile on Old Man Qian's face, and quickly realized, "Actually, she is not the sister of the late queen, but the person you... arranged? Arranged for Lao Jin The spy around Wang?"
"It's not us. We don't have the ability to do this yet. She was arranged by Wanyanping. There is a girl in their clan who looks more like the late queen, and she is indeed related to the late queen. She was once with the late queen. The queen has also met several times, and seems to have met the old King Jin several times, otherwise it would not have been possible for her to be arranged to be with the old King King smoothly."
"So, the reason why the eldest prince was sent to Xijing to be a hostage was actually because of the queen's influence?"
"Well, you can put it that way!" Old Man Qian Guan Yingjiu asked for another glass of water, "This is what Wan Yanping meant, but we think it is a good idea. It can at least help us weaken the strength of the old King of Gold. If the big The prince and the little prince were fighting among themselves for the throne. It would be very beneficial for us if the brothers fought against each other. We could replace Wanyanping with little effort. However, after the little prince was born, we found that things did not go as we expected. Design development. Although the old King of Gold does not like the eldest prince very much, he still recognizes his strength. After all, it was the old King of Gold who taught him step by step. He is very appropriate in handling state affairs and does not need to worry about the eldest prince. Moreover, the big prince The prince is very popular and has a high reputation in Yiqing Mansion. There are many people in the Wanyan family who support him. Together with the support from other nobles, big and small, as well as the support from the court, he has formed a force that cannot be underestimated."
"Wanyanping is very scared, and you are also very distressed, right?"
"Yes, if we don't kill the old King Jin and the eldest prince, all the hard work we have spent on Wanyanping's lineage over the years will be in vain. We will never allow such a thing to happen. However, Wanyanping is a smart person My child, you know how to take detours and will not blindly act recklessly. Since you can't fight head-on, let's take detours and find the eldest prince's weaknesses in the little prince." Old Qian looked at Shen Cha and said, "The existence of Madam Wu Dinghou is what the little prince told everyone. Yan Ping's, Wan Yanping also realized at this time that it turned out that the eldest prince was not unfaithful to her because he already had someone he liked. To be more precise, he had someone he wanted to stay with for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, They belong to two hostile camps, and they can only be destined to be inseparable in this life. But Wanyanping is the kind of person who takes advantage of others, so after she learned about the existence of Mrs. Xuehou, she concocted the so-called collaboration with the enemy. The unjust case of treason killed two birds with one stone. Not only did she get rid of her love rival, but she also took revenge on her so-called betrayal."
"You are aware that she concocted this unjust case, right?" Seeing Old Man Qian nodding silently, Shen Cha took a deep breath, "You have wanted to attack the royal family of Daxia before, so, This time, I want to use this unjust case to successfully bring down Prince Ning, who is related to Mrs. Wu Dinghou, so that he cannot make a comeback, right?"
"Yes, but it's not just that. We also have other targets." Seeing Shen Cha's face darken, Old Man Qian smiled, "It's a pity that your late emperor of Daxia was too kind and didn't let us succeed."
"You want to destroy the Shen family army? Destroy the Wuding Hou Mansion? Why?"
"Why?" Old Man Qian shrugged innocently, "Of course it is to plunge Daxia's border into chaos! Once the Wuding Marquis Mansion is implicated, the Zhenguo Mansion and the Shen Family Army will not be able to stay alone. They will either be completely overturned, or there will be internal strife, no matter what No matter what the situation is, it is very beneficial to us, and we are happy to see the results.”
