Liangzhou, Wuwei County, Guzang City.

In the dead of night, the study room of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was brightly lit. Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor Wang Cheng looked at the newspaper on the table with deep eyes and a thoughtful expression.

There are only a few words in the online newspaper: "The King of Qin lives in seclusion and does not leave, thanking guests behind closed doors."

This is the latest informant sent back by the eyeliner sent by Wang Cheng to monitor Xiao Huang. Before that, Wang Cheng had received hundreds of informants with exactly the same content.

Wang Cheng found that he was becoming less and less able to see through his son-in-law.

Back then, he strongly opposed his daughter's opposition to marrying Xiao Huang for no other reason than Wang Cheng's pure disdain for Xiao Huang.

Although Wang Chong wrote to tell him that the King of Qi, Xiao Jie, whom they had been watching since childhood, had broken with the Wang family.

Although Wang Chong repeatedly emphasized in the letter that Xiao Huang is a genius, and his conversation is extraordinary, he will definitely become a great weapon. In addition, his mother's family is weak. Wang family.Therefore, for the Wang family, Xiao Huang is the most suitable candidate.

But Wang Cheng still didn't take it seriously, he always felt that Wang Yu was his only daughter with a noble status, while Xiao Huang came from a humble background, and his mother and concubine were just a small talented person, how could he be worthy of his own precious daughter.Although his nephew Xiao Jie was unwilling to marry his daughter, the emperor had more than just these two sons. As his precious daughter, Wang Yu, was the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, there would naturally be other princes vying to marry him in order to cling to the big tree of the Wang family.

It was only after his wife, Cui Shi, wrote to him that his daughter, Wang Yu, kept saying that Xiao Huang was not going to marry, and she was crying every day, or looking for life and death. In the end, Wang Cheng still felt sorry for his daughter, and was also worried that she would really be overwhelmed and do something stupid. Only then did he reluctantly agree to marry his daughter Wang Yu to Xiao Huang.

But Xiao Huang did not disappoint their royal family's painstaking efforts and cultivation, he has repeatedly made great achievements, and his status among the adult princes has also risen. It seems that he really has a chance to aspire to the position of the Eastern Palace.

It's just that the only variable is that the nephew Xiao Jie who broke with their Wang family, I don't know what kind of expert advice he got, but he actually overwhelmed his son-in-law Xiao Huang everywhere, and took credit for Xiao Huang's achievements in everything. It seems that he has more chances than Xiao Huang Be a prince.

But his father, Wang Chong, did not hesitate to sacrifice his younger sister, Wang Guifei, and finally sent Xiao Jie to the wild land of Jiaozhou. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jie did not stop in Jiaozhou. Pet, according to the situation, sooner or later the crown prince will be in his pocket.

But when Wang Cheng was still thinking about how to support his son-in-law to take the position, his father Wang Chong sent him a secret letter, telling him that Xiao Huang's mansion was too deep and scheming, and it was definitely beyond the control of the Wang family. Decided to give up Xiao Huang, and instead support the young, frail and helpless King Xiao Xun of Han.

Naturally, Wang Cheng strongly opposed this and gave up continuing to support Xiao Huang, which meant that even if the Wang family could successfully support Xiao Xun to inherit the throne in the future, the queen would not be his daughter Wang Yu, and he, Wang Cheng, would not be able to take charge as a foreign relative. Daning authority.

Seemingly knowing that Wang Cheng would object to this matter, his father Wang Chong wrote to him repeatedly, telling him that Xiao Huang had rebellious bones in his head, and if he continued to support Xiao Huang, he might suffer backlash in the future, causing the entire Wang family to face disaster.In order to persuade Wang Cheng, Wang Chong even expressed that he could persuade the Wang family in Taiyuan to adopt Xiao Xun's wife Wang Chang to Wang Cheng's name in the future. Wang Cheng is also the head of the new emperor.

But even so, Wang Cheng still couldn't accept it. After all, his adopted daughter couldn't be compared with his own daughter.

In his heart, he was even secretly annoyed at his father, Wang Chong. He was the one who forced himself to marry his daughter to Xiao Huang. Now that the Wang family had fallen out with Xiao Huang, he kicked Xiao Huang away again, completely ignoring himself. His daughter Wang Yu also became an innocent and pitiful victim. What did he think of his daughter?

Just when Wang Cheng and Wang Chong were in conflict and neither could persuade the other, son-in-law Xiao Huang brought his wife and his daughter Wang Yu to Liangzhou to take the post of deputy governor of Liangzhou.

This has to arouse Wang Cheng's vigilance. After all, the imperial court has repeatedly suppressed the power of the Wang family. With his father Wang Chong's position lost, the royal party has no leader, and everyone is in danger. Those who were dismissed were dismissed. Seeing that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the 30 Northwest Frontier Army in their hands was the last trump card of the Wang family, and there was absolutely no room for loss.

Wang Cheng had reason to suspect that Emperor Xiao Ji sent his son to serve as the deputy governor of Liangzhou at this time, and it was very likely that he had his eyes on the 30 Northwest Frontier Army in an attempt to gain military power in Liangzhou.

Otherwise, why so many sons would not be sent, but insisted on sending Xiao Huang to Liangzhou as some kind of deputy governor, and made an exception to allow him to bring his wife along with him? Wasn't it because King Qin Xiao Huang was his son-in-law Wang Cheng, and Princess Qin Wang Yu was his son-in-law? He, Wang Cheng's only daughter, tried to play a wave of emotional cards.

Moreover, his father Wang Chong also wrote letters repeatedly to remind him that Xiao Huang is extremely powerful and difficult to deal with, he must be careful and be on guard at all times, not to fall into his trap.

Even without his father Wang Chong's reminder, Wang Cheng himself knew it well. He knew that he had violated the imperial court many times over the past ten years, which had already aroused the vigilance and fear of the emperor Xiao Ji, and might even have murderous intentions. It's just that because I hold 30 Northwest Frontier Army in my hand, I dare not do anything to myself easily.Once he loses his military power, not only will his head be lost, but even the entire royal family will be lost forever, so even if Xiao Huang is his son-in-law and the deputy governor of Liangzhou appointed by the court, he will never let Xiao Huang intervene in military affairs , Those who get involved in military power.

Therefore, before Xiao Huang arrived at his post, Wang Cheng dispatched an eyeliner to monitor his every move day and night, no matter where Xiao Huang went every day, who he met, or what he did, he would report to him in detail. .

But what surprised Wang Cheng was that since Xiao Huang arrived in Guzang City, except for the first day when he brought Wang Yu to visit his father-in-law and his superior Xu Xu’s family, he just went to the governor’s office every day to order something, and then he kept going. Ku sits in his public house reading a book to get by, doesn't ask about any official business in Liangzhou, doesn't see anyone, doesn't do anything, and returns to the mansion when he is on duty at the end of the day, staying at home and thanking guests behind closed doors.

Wang Cheng was still a little worried, and even specially sent someone to test Xiao Huang, intentionally presented him with a large stack of official documents, saying that the governor was out on business, and asked Xiao Huang, the deputy governor, to handle the official documents on his behalf.

Xiao Huang's reaction was to shake his head and push back all the official documents, and told the dispatched people with a smile that the big and small affairs of Liangzhou were decided by the Governor, and it was not his turn for a Deputy Governor to intervene, so he was asked to wait for the Governor to come back before proceeding. disposal.

As a result, Wang Cheng was confused, since Xiao Huang was so careless about Liangzhou affairs, why didn't he stay in Luoyang, insisted on bringing his pregnant wife to Liangzhou thousands of miles away to be some kind of deputy governor.

If it was said that Xiao Huang was doing something secretly, Wang Cheng would not believe it either, because it seemed that in order to win his trust, Xiao Huang left all his two thousand plays in Luoyang, and only brought his wife Wang Yu and an elderly housekeeper with him. Liangzhou went to work, and he didn't go out to see guests. Wang Cheng didn't believe that there would be some disturbance behind his back.

While Wang Cheng was still pondering over the informant presented by today's eyeliner, the old housekeeper of Xiao Huang's mansion rushed to report and brought Wang Cheng a piece of good news that made him overjoyed——

His daughter Wang Yu has just given birth to a baby boy.

Wang Cheng was overjoyed immediately, and immediately ordered someone to get out of the car, and he wanted to go to see his precious grandson immediately.
