NOVEL WEB Chapter 183 Letter from Chang'an
These days, they have been walking and teaching their children, which complements each other.
Everyone knows that they will not have so much time to accompany and teach their children after arriving at the exile place Pingzhou, so they should spend more time with them now.
When they first entered Youbeiping County, Lv Songli and his team encountered several pursuits by Youzhou soldiers. Whenever this happened, Xu Zheng stepped forward to show his identity. The other party only looked at them for a few times, raised his hand, and let them pass.
That day, they arrived at Pinggang, the seat of Youbeiping County. Pinggang is the only way for the escorted prisoners to enter Liaoxi County from the official road.
Lv Songli put on makeup for Qin Sheng, asked him to put on a skirt, and go to Pinggang Post Station to help her get the letter.
Before that, she communicated with him for half an hour, and finally Qin Sheng licked his bitten lips, put on the skirt, and went to get her letter.
Before leaving, Lv Songli made an appointment with her father, and Pinggang Post Station left her a letter to inform her of the changes in the situation in Chang'an City and some important events that happened during this period.
In theory, post stations in all dynasties were not allowed to be used for private purposes. In fact, many of them were used for private purposes. In this case, the letter naturally could not be written with real names.
Lv Songli asked Qin Sheng to take the secret code to the post station to pick up the letter.
After the letter was taken back, she first checked the seal and saw that the secret code she and her father agreed on was still there, and then she opened the letter.
After reading it, Lv Songli handed the letter to Qin Sheng, asking him to tell his two brothers about the news in the letter after reading it.
Qin Sheng glanced at it, paused at a certain sentence, and then took the letter and simply dictated a few things mentioned in the letter.
Qin Heng and Qin Zhao listened carefully. They were isolated from the news for more than a month of exile and knew nothing about the situation in Chang'an.
Lv Desheng said some news about Chang'an City after the Qin family was exiled in the letter. The first thing is that even though Xie Zhan was tortured in prison, he did not reveal the wealth hidden by the Xie family.
After hearing this, Qin Heng and Qin Zhao felt that Xie Zhan was a tough guy. He was cruel to his family members and himself.
Qin Sheng frowned tightly, and he immediately thought of the hatred of the Xie family members towards her in front of the Dali prison gate.
Lu Songli had expected this result.
If Xie Zhan let go, he would only be suspected of hiding more wealth, and then face more severe torture and interrogation. In the end, there was only one result, losing both his wealth and his life. He suffered in vain, and his wealth was not saved. He held on, and at least he could keep his wealth.
And he accurately grasped the psychology of the new emperor. He had contributed to the new emperor's ascension to the throne. No matter what, the new emperor would not let him die, and then chill the hearts of the ministers.
She understood this. I just don't know if his family members will understand this in the future when they know this and think of those dead relatives? Lu Songli thought wickedly.
Her father also told her in the letter that in the current court situation, Xie Zhan pushed Zuo Anmin out to help the new emperor deal with the four regents. At present, the four regents have joined forces.
Qin Zhao was impressed when he heard this, "Xie Zhan is indeed the most outstanding son of the Xie family. He is still in prison. How can we be sure that the new emperor will use the people he recommends?"
Qin Heng nodded. Indeed, he must know the new emperor very well to achieve this. However, the two of them felt relieved when they thought that their Qin family had a sixth brother-in-law who was more evil than Xie Zhan.
Lu Songli also guessed that Xie Zhan pushed people to the throne. She also explained the doubts of the two uncles.
She and Xie Zhan knew the temperament of the new emperor.
"For the new emperor, he finally got the throne and was about to enjoy the fruits of victory, but the previous emperor arranged four ministers to control him. He must be very uncomfortable in his heart and wanted to overthrow the four ministers immediately."
"The new emperor probably regretted dealing with Xie Zhan too early when Lin Ran took out the third will and learned that the previous emperor had arranged four ministers to regent for him."
"However, the emperor's words are always golden and his words are as good as gold. In addition, Song Mo had just decided that he would succeed the throne. If he released the Xie family because of regret and continued to use Xie Zhan, this self-contradictory behavior would not only damage his prestige as the new emperor, but also make him look more immature."
She was able to pull down the Xie and Zhao families, which really made a good time difference.
She could see this, and Xie Zhan could too, so he could successfully push Zuo Anmin to the new emperor and be reused.
This is also the reason why she introduced Zhang Xian to her father. Xie Zhan arranged people around the new emperor, so they naturally couldn't fall behind.
Zhang Xian was originally an imperial censor, and he was good at speaking. Moreover, he had been exiled for more than ten years, which was an advantage that many officials who only served in the court but had never been exiled did not have.
Lv Songli did not know that it was precisely because Xie Zhan saw through this that he often secretly sighed that the time was not right for the Xie family.
If the will in Lv Desheng's hand had been taken out a day or two later, or if the will in Lin Ran's hand had appeared earlier, he would have been sure to change the outcome of the Xie family's exile.
Qin Zhao exclaimed that it was a close call.
Qin Heng and Qin Sheng listened to their explanation and felt that the political game was really thrilling and exciting.
Qin Heng, Qin Zhao and Xie Zhan attributed her overthrow of the Xie and Zhao families to the time and luck.
How could they know that Lv Songli's move was based on her understanding of Emperor Kang Cheng and a precise attack after predicting Lin Ran's trajectory.
Lv Songli did not explain too much, after all, she won.
In his letter, Lv Desheng mentioned that the Xie and Zhao families were exiled to Lingnan.
Lv Songli was both surprised and not surprised that the Xie and Zhao families were exiled to Lingnan.
Xie Zhan is a very sensible and cautious person, who is also ambitious and has a fighting spirit.
A rather contradictory character, isn't it? But that's the truth. Xie Zhan just fell flat on his face, and his sensible and cautious character will make him give up the northern border (northwest) and Pingzhou (northeast) where their Qin family has been exiled.
Then, if we exile to four places, excluding the two places in the north, there are only the southwest and Lingnan left.
Lingnan is richer than the southwest, and there are more opportunities. Xie Zhan's ambition will make him unable to resist taking a gamble.
A rotten boat still has three pounds of iron, and Xie Zhan himself is not a fool. With some operations, it is still possible to set the exile place of the Xie and Zhao families in Lingnan, located in the southeast.
Qin Zhao joked, "I thought they would follow." Exiled to Pingzhou together. The Xie and Zhao families hated the sixth brother's wife so much, so it stands to reason that they should catch up and find a chance to get rid of her.
Qin Zhao's voice was full of regret. It would be fun if the Xie and Zhao families caught up.
Qin Heng shook his head, "Let's not do it."
If the Xie and Zhao families really caught up, they would definitely feel uncomfortable, but the Qin family would also feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Xu Yasi and Yang Wei Escort Agency would no longer be able to take care of them openly. Compared with seeing the Xie and Zhao families suffer, family is more important.
"Why do you think Xie Zhan would choose to be exiled to Lingnan? The North and Southwest are also fine."
Lu Songli was speechless, "He is not stupid. The Qin family in the North has been operating for so many years. Are they looking for death by exiling to the North?"
Hearing this, Qin Heng and Qin Zhao both laughed.
Qin Sheng couldn't help laughing.
Qin Zhao: "Okay, then he can only choose the Southwest or Lingnan."
If she were Xie Zhan, she would choose the Southwest, which is easy to win people's hearts, and then work together to develop the local area, which is easier to achieve results.
But Xie Zhan was used to fighting with others and seeking ready-made, visible wealth, which was his strength and what he could grasp. It is not difficult to understand why he chose Lingnan as the place of exile for the Xie and Zhao families.
