Chapter 230 (2/2)
”Do you doubt the queen?”
”On the contrary, this time, the queen is the least suspect.”
”So sure? Why?”
”Just because of my accident, the first person you doubt is her.” Chu Zhi said, ”since you can doubt that it is the Queen's hand, others will certainly think so. The queen is ambitious, but not stupid. Moreover, after the Mid Autumn Festival, your majesty has been staring at the central Palace, so he is more and more afraid to act rashly.”
”So she also knows that if she starts, she will not be able to clear her grievances.” Meng Wan suddenly realized, ”so, who do you think it is?”
”It's hard to say.”
Chu Zhi's eyes are bright and heavy.
She really thought it was Princess Zhuang, but a thoughtful person like Princess Zhuang would never do it before the last minute. She also said just now that Princess Zhuang didn't know her, had no grievances, and had no reason to do it, so she was excluded.
In addition, there are six princes, four princes, Hai Xinlan and Chu Zhi. These are the only people she offends, and only these people don't like her.
”If only Han Zhan were here.” Meng Wan held his cheek and said with emotion, ”he seems to be a fool, ignorant and unskilled, but he is very powerful to ask for some news.”
”How do you know?”
”Naturally, my grandfather said it!” Meng Wan approached Chu Zhi and whispered, ”he said Han Zhan had a dark guard in his hand, as if his mother had left it to him. Few people know about it.”
”Since it's a dark guard, doesn't anyone notice?”
Since ancient times, in addition to the royal family equipped with dark guards, the rest of the people, etc. keeping dark guards privately is a capital crime of nine families.
The eldest princess of the former dynasty also had dark guards, but after the death of the eldest princess, the first emperor took them back. Now there are only dark guards, the son of heaven. Unexpectedly, Han Zhan also has them.
”Certainly not. Even the Emperor didn't know about it.” Meng Wan said, ”my grandfather also learned it by accident. He was too frightened to say much. He told me the secret quietly before he left.”
Chu Zhi instinctively felt that this matter was afraid to involve a wide range.
”Your grandpa told you such a secret?” Chu Zhi didn't believe it!
”It's natural.” Meng Wan smiled awkwardly and politely. ”Have you forgotten that I was the person my grandfather loved and valued most in his life?”
Chu Zhi: ”
Really!
”I have something to ask you.” Chu Zhi finally asked what he thought in his heart, ”I want to know, good, why does the holy master send Han Zhan to the northwest?”
Meng Wan secretly said: ”When Hou Zhongyong was young, he guarded the northwest frontier. The people there had a high voice for him. The holy master was afraid of his great achievements, so he transferred him back to the capital to provide for the elderly and left general Qi in the northwest to continue to guard. However, many of the refugees in this riot were the remnants of the previous dynasty and spies of the enemy country. Coincidentally, those people had been afraid of Hou Zhongyong. Now I see Hou Zhongyong for a long time Living in the capital, it is said that the hero of Zhongyong Hou is late and can't bear the big task, so he is ready to move and wants to rebel. Han Zhan is the little Duke of Zhongyong Hou's house and the biological son of old Duke Han. It's most appropriate to send him to suppress refugees. ”
It's the best of both worlds to make use of the reputation of Zhongyong hou to make those thieves catch and play a deterrent role, and to make Zhongyong Hou stay in the capital.
”I heard that the emperor promised Han Zhan that if he succeeded this time, he would be allowed to become an official in the DPRK?”
