It's no wonder that Situ Kuo was so surprised. During Zhen Pang's interrogation that day, Ping'an Prefecture was mentioned. Jia Yan once mentioned it to Situ Kuo.At that time, they all thought that there might be a small problem, but today it seems that there are man-eating crocodiles hidden under the surface of calm water.

Ping'an Prefecture is located in the northwest. Because Ping'an Pass is under its jurisdiction, in addition to the prefect, Ping'an Prefecture also has Ping'an Jiedu envoys who preside over major military and political affairs.As a matter of course, the No. [-] person in Ping'an Prefecture is usually a military officer or a civil servant who understands martial arts. When the first emperor, Jia Daihua, who was still the son of Duke Ning, served as an envoy of Ping'an Prefecture for a while.

Now Jia Lian's acquaintance is actually hanging in Ping'an Prefecture. Although the current governor of Ping'an Prefecture is not from Lao Xungui's background, he is the son-in-law of Lao Xungui who was beaten in the army.Duan Long, the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture, married Shi Guangzhu's cousin, who was the niece and son-in-law of the old Shan Guogong.But now Duan Long's eldest son married the granddaughter of Lao Pingyuanhou.

The descendants of Dingcheng Hou Liu's family also experienced training in the camp of Ping'an Prefecture. Today's Beijing camp guerrilla, Xie Jing, a descendant of the Hou family, also stayed in Ping'an Prefecture. This place can be called the base camp of nobles.Although this place looks remote, it actually connects Dawu and the only way for trade outside the customs. There is a saying that if you pass through Pingan Prefecture, you have to pay protection fees.

Otherwise, the caravan will be "communicated with the enemy" or "encountered looting", whichever is lesser. Ordinary caravans should obediently pay for safety.It's really safe in Ping'an Prefecture. The Zhen family, who have been flirting with nobles all the time, naturally got involved.Knowing about this at the beginning, Jia Yan was vigilant, and the Zhen family was involved, so what about the Jia family?The Ningrong Second Mansion definitely also participated in it.

But at the beginning there was no real evidence, they were busy with salt affairs, and the king of Chu led someone to compile a book, so this matter was dropped.And Tan Zhengqi's father is actually an old man in Ping'an Prefecture. Several generations of his family have served in the Ping'an Army. What Tan Zhengqi said when he surrendered to Jia Yan was that Tan Zhengqi's father wrote a secret letter telling him: Ping'an Prefecture tastes bad. .

The local people knew the local affairs, and Tan Zhengqi's old father smelled something wrong, so he asked his son who was outside to find a way to get their family members to the southwest.It is definitely not a trivial matter that can make his father so uneasy, and based on what Tan Zhengqi has seen and heard over the years, he told Jia Yan: I am afraid that someone wants to start a riot in Ping'an Prefecture.

Situ Kuo slumped on the chair: "Boheng, there is something you don't know yet, right? Duan Long, the governor of Ping'an Prefecture, has asked the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War to give him additional information for several months on the grounds of 'border anxiety'. People, things, money and food have all been replenished. It seems that the unrest on the border is fake, and he wants to make troubles is real."

"Qiye, there must be a leader in trouble, Duan Long can't do it." Jia Yan said while thinking, "It's not that he looks down on him, but that he is not qualified for such a big matter, let alone even if there is trouble, who is he for? For him It's a fantasy for me, I'm afraid that when he just raised his army, there will be people who want to kill him. Then, it must be for the clan, or..."

Hearing this, Situ Kuo said coldly: "Or which brother of mine." Because only in this way can Duan Long have a reputation and righteousness.If they had planned properly, they would simply contact Jingzhong to besiege Miyagi, force the emperor to abdicate, or even kill the king, and then let the prince they supported succeed him.As for Situ Kuo, of course he must die.

"You follow me into the palace," Situ Kuo said decisively: "This is not something that can be delayed, you follow me into the palace right now and meet the emperor."

"Yes."

Emperor Duanping is really old, and now he is concentrating on choosing a son-in-law for his youngest daughter, while Empress Su is busy helping him to check for gaps. Besides her own twelve princesses, the emperor's youngest daughter also has ten princesses, eleven princesses What about the princess.The old couple was joking with each other like singing a folk song, the little palace maid trembled, thinking that her mother wouldn't dare to talk to her father like that at home, how dare the queen...

Jia Yan followed Situ Kuo into the Zichen Hall, where the emperor and empress were sitting. Jia Boheng saluted one by one and stood behind Situ Kuo.The king of Chu asked the emperor to back away from the left and right, and then told his parents about the news that something unexpected might happen in Pingan Prefecture.If it were a few years ago, the emperor would definitely get nervous, but now, Emperor Duanping just smiled.

"You are still young, are you worried?" The emperor smiled, holding the queen's hand under the case, to reassure her and let her not worry.He looked at his beloved son and his confidant, and said with a smile: "But I don't think it's a big deal."

Not to mention Jia Yan, even Situ Kuo looked up at the emperor with surprise in his eyes.The emperor seemed very satisfied with their reaction. He laughed loudly: "You are worried about Duan Long's rebellion, aren't you? But, will this worry come true? Saying that he really rebelled, how far is Ping'an Prefecture from the capital? How many people can be recruited along the way from the northwest? Can't the imperial court organize effective resistance along the way?"

A series of questions asked the two people, their ears were red and their faces were red. They were only thinking about the worst outcome, and they never thought that the outcome might not be so bad.And what they can do to prevent the worst possible outcome... Blind spots and misunderstandings, the emperor is not harsh on his son and young courtiers, he smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed, after all, Ji Kuan has not yet entered the East Palace, nor has he succeeded to the throne It is also right to report to me as soon as you discover this kind of thing."

"The son understands what the father means, so regarding Duan Long, should we transfer him back to Beijing first? For example, put him in the Ministry of War for support?"

The emperor looked at Jia Yan: "Jia Boheng, what do you think of King Chu's idea?"

"Return to Your Majesty, minister..." Jia Yan clasped his fists and said, "I think the King of Chu's idea is still good, but Duan Long may not be happy."

"You are the same as Ruhai." Emperor Duanping looked at the queen as if asking, but the queen nodded with a smile, "Your father-in-law also never says that what people say is wrong, and always protects the other party's face."

Jia Yan raised the corner of his clothes and knelt down, and the King of Chu also knelt down: "Boheng didn't mean to be perfunctory to the emperor, he was doing it for the sake of the lord, so I ask the emperor to check it out."

Empress Su smiled softly beside her: "Your Majesty, they are still young and still need your teaching. Besides, this is enough to prove that Jia Boheng is a sensible young man. Could it be that he is disregarding his reputation, or is it like a firecracker?" Is he a loyal minister?"

"You guys get up." The emperor said helplessly: "In the future, you have to think more about things, Jia Yan and you too, as a subject, you have to check for the lord's shortcomings, otherwise what do you want the minister to do?" Jia Yan should say yes, and the emperor continued. He said: "Don't be in a hurry beforehand, and don't transfer Duan Long back. He has done a good job as the governor of Ping'an Province all these years. If he is transferred back rashly, if nothing happens, it won't be the heart of loyal ministers. If he intends to make trouble, it will be to scare the snake away."

The emperor talked eloquently, and both Situ Kuo and Jia Yan took note of it. The military department of the household department temporarily slowed down the supply to Pingan Prefecture, and after the end-of-year ceremony, the emperor will take the throne next year, and the king of Chu will ascend the throne. At that time, he will be dealt with under the emperor's decree Ping'an Prefecture.The emperor said: The most important thing now is the old seventh Li Chu, and other things can be put down, and Jia Yan, as the counselor of the General Administration Department, has to keep an eye on the movement in Beijing.

"I understand." Jia Yan intends to immediately check the people who are currently in charge of watching several palaces in Beijing, and what's more, he has to talk to Liang Ji.

At Jia Yan's house, Situ Xun was chatting with Daiyu about his previous reading experience. Jia Fei had memorized more than half of the Book of Filial Piety, and now he was listening to the history class.Situ Xun flipped through the anthology at hand, and said, "Sir asked me to read Tang books, and I read them myself without asking anyone. Although I don't understand some things, I understand a lot."

"Then, what did you understand, and what did you not understand?" Daiyu looked at the child expectantly. Before he moved into the East Palace with his father, how many surprises could he give others?

Situ Xun was a little hesitant: "I didn't ask my mother. The concubine is pregnant with a child and it's a month old. My father doesn't let me disturb my mother." For some reason, he explained something specially. It seemed that Mr. Lin believed it, but Situ But Xun shouted in his heart: You are lying, it is not like that at all.It's not because the mother is pregnant with the child, but because I feel that I can't tell my mother about it.

I don't want to hear the answer from a loyal minister and filial son, I want to find out the answer myself... Situ Xun also found it.He not only read these two passages of the Tang book, but also searched for Zizhi Tongjian. Although Duke Sima Wen didn't think highly of Empress Zetian, Situ Xun still found the answer.

"Whether it's for Concubine Xiao Shu, Queen Wang, or later for Shangguanyi, Empress Zetian has guaranteed her own advantage in news." Situ Xun spoke slowly: "For example, after Gaozong discussed with Shangguanyi to abolish it, the imperial edict stopped. At the time of writing, she had already arrived. This shows that when Shangguanyi began to write the imperial edict, and even when the monarchs and ministers began to discuss, Queen Zetian had already got the news."

In other words, this woman was in the entire Daming Palace at that time and had already controlled all sources of news. The emperor had no secrets from her.But Liu Ju was not. When Emperor Wu insisted on going to Ganquan Palace and the prince was in Chang'an, Liu Ju didn't even know whether his father was still alive.So, from Situ Xun's point of view, Prince Li's failure has nothing to do with the so-called justice or injustice, he just died because of inferior methods and bad luck.

If he was lucky and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did die, then with the prince's talents, after quickly pacifying Chang'an, it would not be difficult to rush to Ganquan Palace to kill treacherous officials and succeed him.

"This is the student's opinion, but..." Situ Xun lowered his head: "Sir, what should I do if a person is really unlucky? If a person is like Prince Li, who has done everything that should and can be done, he If it fails, what should I do?"
