son, don't mess around

Chapter 130

Xunyang County.

Xunyang Prefect's Mansion.

In the mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting in front of the hall, looking at the government affairs on the table, frowning.

The middle-aged man has sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a standard face with Chinese characters. He can quite see a bit of the handsome man's temperament when he was young. After middle age, he has a bit of the calm aura of a superior, and he is not angry.

This person is now the prefect of Xunyang County, Wang Shiquan.

More than ten years ago, a major incident happened in Xunyang County. Jiang Cheng, the prefect of Xunyang County at the time, was suddenly exposed to have liaison with the enemy country. Letters and various evidences of correspondence with the enemy country were found from his home, which confirmed the conspiracy of the Jiang family. Evidence.

The Jiang family was ransacked and beheaded!
The downfall of the Jiang family gave Wang Shiquan a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Wang Shiquan, who was only a small civil servant, seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and made great progress.

In the past ten years or so, under the governance of Wang Shiquan, Xunyang County can't be said to have made great achievements, but it can be regarded as peace in the world.Perhaps because of years of hard work, Wang Shiquan has only reached middle age, his temples have turned gray, and he has aged a lot.

At this moment, in the room, Wang Shiquan sighed deeply as he looked at the intelligence and government documents sent from below.

"I'm afraid something big will happen in Beijing!"

Not far from Wang Shiquan, a refined man said, "My lord, what do you mean?"

This person is a counselor next to Wang Shiquan, named Zheng Chang.It can also be regarded as the master of Xunyang County, responsible for helping Wang Shiquan handle the daily government affairs.

Wang Shiquan put down the information in his hands, rubbed his temples, frowned and said, "Your Majesty has been in seclusion for several months this time and has disappeared. People in the capital are panic-stricken. All forces are ready to move. I'm afraid there will be chaos..."

Zheng Chang's eyelids twitched, he glanced at his lord, and asked tentatively: "My lord, your majesty has been in seclusion for more and more time in recent years, and this time he has not shown up for half a year, and has been living in the palace without any movement. Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Shiquan's eyes froze suddenly.

He understood the meaning of Zheng Chang's words, did he suspect that His Majesty had passed away? !

When this idea came up, Wang Shiquan's heart skipped a beat.

...It is not completely impossible!

Since His Majesty fell ill a few years ago, he began to estrange himself from government affairs and lived deep in the palace to recuperate. This recuperation lasted for several years.

In the past few years, His Majesty has rarely appeared in the eyes of everyone, especially in the past six months, there has been no news at all.Many courtiers in Beijing wanted to meet His Majesty, but without exception, they were all turned away.

"Your Majesty hasn't shown up for half a year, which is very unusual..."

Zheng Changning said divinely: "Before your majesty retreated to recuperate, he ordered His Royal Highness to supervise the country, but at the same time favored that old eunuch... Over the past few years, His Highness's orders have occasionally been passed down by the old eunuch. This is extremely abnormal. I doubt……"

Zheng Chang didn't continue talking, but how smart is Wang Shiquan?

His pupils shrank suddenly: "You mean, Your Majesty has..."

"The origin of the old eunuch is unknown, I'm afraid there is something wrong!" Zheng Chang said in a deep voice.

Wang Shiquan was silent, his eyes became more dignified.

Indeed, before the retreat, His Majesty favored the old eunuch beside him so much that he even handed over Mi Tiansi to the old eunuch.During His Majesty's retreat, most of His Majesty's orders were passed down by the old eunuch.Other than that, almost no one has ever seen His Majesty.

Who can guarantee that the old eunuch has no evil intentions?
The eunuch is in power, and the government is chaotic!

"My lord, you and I should make plans early!"

Zheng Chang opened his mouth to remind.

The situation in Beijing and China was chaotic, and they naturally couldn't stay out of it.Not to mention the importance of Xunyang County in Yanzhou, they also have their own influence and control in the capital.Changes in the situation in Beijing and China will also affect their future fate.

"Right now, there are many forces in Beijing and China fighting openly and secretly, and the one party headed by the crown prince is the most powerful. Although most of the veterans in the court support His Royal Highness the crown prince, other than that, the old eunuch has to be on guard..."

"The stray dog ​​has mastered Mi Tiansi. I don't know how many spies have been planted in the dynasty, and how many ministers in the capital have been controlled. If, as you and I guess, His Majesty is controlled by him, or... then it will be a big deal. !"

"In addition to that, there is also that Prime Minister Zhao in Beijing. As the elder of the three dynasties, Prime Minister Zhao has a pivotal position in the court. Even if His Majesty wants to give a little face, Prime Minister Zhao's influence should not be underestimated. But so far , and no one knows where he is standing..."

Wang Shiquan continued rubbing his temples, feeling a headache.

The impact of the situation in Beijing is extremely serious for him.He, Wang Shiquan, can achieve what he is today, without the support of the backing forces behind Beijing.Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

The DPRK and China now seem to be three-legged forces confronting each other and contending with each other, but in fact there are undercurrents surging.

Apart from the Crown Prince, there are not a few princes in the court who covet the throne.Especially the third prince in Beijing, who is an adult but still does not go to the fief to receive the fief, his purpose has long been known to all.If something really happens to His Majesty at this juncture, the fate of the Daning Dynasty will really change.

"there's one more thing……"

Zheng Chang seemed to think of something, and said, "Recently, some things have happened in Yanzhou...some things have happened in our Xunyang County, involving the master's family..."

The Wang family behind Wang Shiquan is considered a big family in Xunyang County.Since the fall of the Jiang family, the Wang family has inherited the heritage of the Jiang family and has become one of the largest families in Xunyang County.

With such a big family, even Wang Shiquan is difficult to control. The Wang family's business power spreads all over Xunyang County, and there have been many shady activities secretly over the years.Naturally, Wang Shiquan knew this too.

However, he chose to turn a blind eye!

Wang Shiquan's current achievements are naturally not without the support of the family behind him.

"Send someone to investigate!"

Wang Shiquan said intently: "Look who is playing tricks!"

Someone who dares to attack the Wang family in Xunyang County is tantamount to courting death.

"My lord, I have found some clues!"

Zheng Chang hesitated for a moment, and slowly said a name: "The son of Prince Lin."

Wang Shiquan was stunned, and frowned: "Him?"

"Some time ago, there was news that Prince Lin's son left Linzhou and was going to the capital to marry the eldest princess... From Linzhou to the capital, he had to pass through Yanzhou."

Wang Shiquan frowned deeper: "You mean, he was responsible for the incident in Yanzhou?"

"It's not impossible!"

Wang Shiquan's eyes were solemn: "My Wang family has no grievances or enmities with his Lin family. They have lived in peace all these years, right?"

Zheng Chang shook his head lightly and sighed: "There are rumors among the people that this Prince Lin seems to have some problems in his head... In Linzhou, the people all hate this Prince Lin deeply... Presumably, he may have caused some trouble unintentionally. dispute?"

"However, I can't guarantee that there is no order from the King Lin!"

The news that Prince Lin's son had entered Beijing had already spread widely, and it had already attracted the attention of many people.It is no secret that the Prince Lin's whereabouts on the way to Beijing.And his purpose of entering Beijing this time naturally attracted the attention of various forces.

Marry the eldest princess?

Although this is the case in name, no one can guarantee whether this son of Prince Lin will have any other purpose.

This Prince Lin's son may be an ignorant idiot, but Prince Lin is not.Prince Lin's son's entry into Beijing this time must have been ordered by Prince Lin.

So, who can guarantee that King Lin didn't play a big game of chess in secret?
"According to the time, I'm afraid that Prince Lin will arrive in Xunyang County in a few days!"

Zheng Chang raised his head and looked at Wang Shiquan: "My lord, if this Prince Lin comes, how should we deal with it?"

"Should we win over, or..."

Wang Shiquan was silent, thought for a moment, then shook his head lightly: "No need!"

Zheng Chang was startled, a little confused.

"The purpose of Prince Lin's coming to Beijing is temporarily unknown, and it has nothing to do with you or me!"

Wang Shiquan thought for a long time, and said calmly: "We have been in peace with the Lin family these years, and there has been no conflict. At such a critical moment, if he doesn't cause trouble, it's fine if nothing happens!"

Zheng Chang hesitated to speak, thought for a while, and said, "My lord, do you intend to express your opinion?"

"Do you think this officer should be this early bird?"

Zheng Chang was thoughtful, and after a while, he cupped his hands: "Your Excellency is really smart!"

Yes!

Now the Daning Dynasty is in chaos, and the dynasty is in conflict, and the dynasty is also full of dangers.

If the imperial court wants to cut down the feudal clan, the first goal is naturally the Lin Wang who has accomplished so much!Before the situation is clear now, it is indeed not a wise choice to stand in line.

"Lets see."

Wang Shiquan waved his hand and said lightly: "If he doesn't cause trouble, you should treat him with courtesy. No matter what, you are His Royal Highness after all, so you should give him some face. But if he has other goals..."

"Then don't blame me for not showing affection!"

Wang Shiquan spoke expressionlessly.

……

Liu Xianglou.

The largest romantic place in Xunyang County.

As an important hub running through the north and south of the dynasty, the geographical location of Xunyang County is extremely important, and at the same time, the economy is naturally extremely prosperous.

And this Liuxiang Tower is the largest place to smoke willows in Xunyang County.

Liuxianglou is no longer an ordinary brothel, it is almost the place with the largest traffic in Xunyang County. There are countless dignitaries and talented people who come here every day.

Even the penniless beggars in Xunyang City would eagerly appear outside Liuxiang Tower, wanting to catch a glimpse of the elegant demeanor of the woman in Liuxiang Tower.

Being able to attract so many high-ranking officials and nobles, romantic talents, the women in Liuxiang Tower are naturally extraordinary.The women inside are all top-notch in terms of beauty and talent.

She is unparalleled in appearance, with outstanding temperament, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. The women in Liuxianglou are especially good at playing the flute, and her oiran is even famous for playing the flute.

It's in this Yanliu place, on the third floor, in a private room attic.

The attic was a mess.

A young man in luxurious clothes was lazily lying on a soft sleeper, his clothes disheveled, hugging two stunning women in his arms, drunk.

"Come on, Prince Wang, I will toast you again!"

"Oh, my lord don't want..."

"Prince, you are bad..."

"..."

The woman's shy and seductive tone came from the room, mixed together with hearty laughter.

Just inside the private room, there are several young masters like this, also hugging left and right, with faces full of intoxication and enjoyment.

"It has to be a prince's grandeur!"

"That's right, don't you look at our prince's status? In Xunyang County, whoever sees our prince should not be respectful?"

"I see, even if the Prince Lin from Linzhou is here, he has to be respectful in front of our Prince!"

The other boys and buddies in the private room expressed their compliments one after another, and the room was filled with cheerful atmosphere for a while.

The Wang Qin they were talking about was the only son of Wang Shiquan, the prefect of Xunyang County, who could be regarded as extremely powerful.In Xunyang County, Wang Qin is the biggest second ancestor.

Wang Qin was lying on the soft couch, hugging left and right, squinting his eyes, when he heard them mention Prince Lin's son, there was an imperceptible sneer on his face.

"The prince's son?"

"What is he?!"

His eyes were squinting, with a bit of sneer and disdain, and he didn't pay attention to the other party at all.

Several people in the room heard it and agreed.

"That is, how can He De, the prince of Lin, be qualified to be compared with our prince?"

"I heard that Prince Lin is a complete softie, and I heard that he almost died at the hands of a brothel woman, it really embarrasses his father!"

"A second-generation ancestor in a barren land is just domineering in Linzhou. If he dares to come to Xunyang County, I don't need the prince to do anything. I can take care of him!"

The voices of the buddies in the room were full of sarcasm and laughter.

The Prince Lin's son in that barren land has long since become the laughing stock of these people after dinner.From time to time, he dragged out to whip the corpse, and pulled and trampled to flatter the prince.

Wang Qin narrowed his eyes and sneered: "I hope that he can come to Xunyang County, and I want to see how useless he is as the king's son!"

"I've heard that Prince Lin's son intends to go to Beijing to marry the eldest princess, and he may pass through our Xunyang County along the way." Someone on the side mentioned it.

Hearing this news, Wang Qin's eyes lit up: "Is this really true?"

"It's been rumored outside. I heard my father mention it, saying that the Prince Lin's son will probably pass by our Xunyang County, and he might meet him at that time!"

"Okay, good time!"

Hearing the news, Wang Qin sneered: "I didn't expect him to dare to come? The young master wants to let him see and see, who is in charge of Xunyang County!"

"Prince, I support you!"

"When the time comes, give the Prince Lin's son a severe blow, and he will definitely be humiliated!"

"Slap that Prince Lin's face in the face and steal his woman!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around, and everyone looked at the person who said those words.

The woman who snatched the prince's son?

Who is the woman who is facing the prince's son?
When the eldest princess!

Grab the eldest princess?

Has this person lost his mind?

Dare to provoke the eldest princess? !
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the young master who blurted out his words suddenly looked embarrassed, and realized that there was something wrong with his words: "I just said it casually...the eldest princess can't be snatched, but other things can be snatched...then Lin Wang Shizi occupies Linzhou, and I don’t know how many beauties have been looted to raise in Linwang’s mansion, isn’t this robbing?”

However, Wang Qin suddenly sneered at this time, his eyes were fiery, with a trace of jealousy and a trace of coldness.

"Princess..."

"What virtue and ability does he have in Lin Jiangnian, so he is qualified to marry the eldest princess?"

"He doesn't deserve it!"

"..."
