Chapter 194 The Naive General and the Prince
However, if they wanted to bring Shen Changshan's remains back to Wei from the Lin family's ancestral tomb, they would have to alert Feng Zhao.
Lin Jinzhi stole Prince Feng Zhao, causing Queen Feng Zhao to lose her eldest son for more than 20 years. Will she let this go smoothly?
In order to repay the Shen family's kindness, Lin Jinzhi completely transformed himself into Shen Changshan.
He even went so far as to take away Crown Prince Feng Zhao and commit a crime, which shows that he is very stubborn, even to the point of paranoia.
Once such a person develops resentment, the resentment will become stronger.
This is why, within a short period of time after Lin Jinzhi's death, one member of the resentful Qin family died and another fell ill.
If it is not resolved in time, the backlash will be even stronger once the contract expires.
Wei Qingyan will also be affected.
But how can we make Lin Jinzhi and Shen Changshan return to their respective positions?
Wei Qingyan sighed softly.
"What's wrong?"
The door was pushed open and Shi Yu stepped in.
"Why are you here?" Wei Qingyan's eyes showed surprise.
But I also felt sorry for him, "I will go back tomorrow morning, why did you make this trip?"
Aren’t you tired?
Shi Yu smiled, "Not tired."
Wei Qingyan smiled, "Can you read minds?"
"No." Shi Yu walked to her side and took her into his arms. "So, Princess, can you tell me why you sighed just now?"
Wei Qingyan's heart felt like being brushed by a feather, and her shyness lasted only a moment. She held his face and said, "Call me again."
Shi Yu smiled, "Princess."
"Say it again."
"princess."
"Say it again."
"Princess, Princess, Princess..."
Jingzhe outside the door, "..."
This is the first time I know that General Wei and the prince are so childish in private!
If he has a wife in the future, he will never do such childish things, Jingzhe thought so, and Yan Lan's face appeared in his mind.
He shook his head and muttered, "Why did I think of her? But why do I feel like Yan Lan has been avoiding me recently..."
Scratching his head, he was a little confused, "I'm very nice to her, it seems I haven't offended her, maybe I'm being too sensitive?
Could it be that she has run into some trouble again and is busy dealing with it? Forget it, I will go back to Beijing and visit the Yan Mansion tomorrow."
The two people in the room listened to his soliloquy and smiled at each other.
Without further ado, Wei Qingyan told Yu about what he had just sorted out.
Knowing that she was worried about Feng Zhao's situation, Shi Yu said, "There will be a way. I came here to give you some news."
She will be going back tomorrow. If you have any urgent news, you need to come to her tonight.
It's because I was worried that she would lose her vitality, so I rushed here overnight.
Wei Qingyan didn't expose him and poured him a cup of hot tea. "What's the news?"
Shi Yu took a sip of tea from her hand and said slowly, "Emperor Feng Zhao met Lin Jinzhi in the Great Wei..."
It turned out that the two of them had their own division of labor over the past two days.
Shi Yu was investigating the incident when Emperor Feng Zhao came to Wei.
Considering that the late emperor's abduction of Prince Fengzhao might be an act of revenge, he focused on investigating the contact between Emperor Fengzhao and the late emperor after he came to Beijing.
However, it was discovered that the two not only had no conflicts, but got along very well.
The late emperor invited Emperor Feng Zhao to dine in the palace many times and even personally accompanied him to visit several places in the capital of Wei.
This includes the Imperial College of the Wei Dynasty.
Emperor Feng Zhao saw Lin Jinzhi in the Imperial College. When Lin Jinzhi left home, Empress Feng Zhao was already eight years old.
Emperor Feng Zhao could not be younger than Empress Feng Zhao, so he must be at least eight years old, or even older.
According to Xiao Zhian, Emperor Feng Zhao and Empress Feng Zhao were childhood sweethearts, so he must know Empress Feng Zhao's uncle.
Therefore, when he saw someone who looked like Lin Jinzhi in Wei, he would not have no reaction at all.
Shen Changshan was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he would overreact when he saw Emperor Feng Zhao.
Shi Yu guessed that the late emperor must have noticed something strange about Lin Jinzhi at that time.
In addition to the late emperor, Yu Liangzhi and others also accompanied Emperor Feng Zhao to the Imperial College that day.
So, Shi Yu went to find Yu Liangzhi.
"Yu Liangzhi said that Emperor Feng Zhao did point at Shen Changshan and asked who he was. After hearing the late emperor say that he was the third place winner of the imperial examination in the imperial examination in Wei, he didn't ask any more questions."
Shi Yu took another sip of tea and said, "But it's a coincidence that Yu Liangzhi met Emperor Feng Zhao at the gate of the Imperial College again. It can be seen that Emperor Feng Zhao was actually suspicious.
I just don't know whether he didn't find out Lin Jinzhi's identity in the end, or whether he found out and helped Lin Jinzhi keep it secret. "
Wei Qingyan frowned, "Even Yu Liangzhi can find out the whereabouts of Emperor Feng Zhao, so the late emperor can definitely find out too.
The late emperor was the ruler of the Great Wei. It would be easier for him to investigate Chen Changshan and the events of the Northern Land than it was for Emperor Feng Zhao. Therefore, he knew Lin Jinzhi's true identity."
Shi Yu nodded, "That's what I thought."
"But what on earth did the late emperor want to do by stealing you to Wei?
When Emperor Feng Zhao came to Wei, he was still Crown Prince Feng Zhao. It would have been sufficient for him to be received by the then Crown Prince of Wei, but the late Emperor personally accompanied him."
Wei Qingyan was puzzled. "What does he want from Feng Zhao? Raw iron?"
"No." Shi Yu shook his head, "I've checked. The previous Emperor Feng Zhao was a very powerful monarch. Although Emperor Feng Zhao was the crown prince at that time, he didn't have much real power.
His visit to Great Wei was merely a tour, and he had no involvement in the affairs of the two countries. Yu Liangzhi also said that at that time, Great Wei had just signed a two-year iron ore agreement with Feng Zhao, and the price had already been set.
Shi Yu pulled Wei Qingyan up and said, "If you can't figure out the late emperor's purpose, just put it aside for now. I'm hungry now. Please eat something with me."
When he came out of Yu Mansion and learned that Wei Qingyan had come to Furong County, he went directly to Furong County.
After riding fast for several hours and still not having dinner, he was really hungry.
After he said this, Wei Qingyan also felt a little hungry.
The truth will eventually be revealed, and there is no time to delay the meal. However, it was already late at night, and the chef at the inn had already gone to bed.
Fresh ingredients have also run out.
Faced with the distinguished guest's request for a meal, Xiao Ershi felt embarrassed. "There's only some flour and rice left in the kitchen. I've never cooked properly..."
"No problem, we can do it ourselves. We just need to borrow your kitchen." Wei Qingyan handed a piece of silver to the waiter.
Since he had money and didn't have to cook for himself, the waiter hurriedly said, "Sir, please follow me."
Jingzhe lit the fire, Wei Qingyan rolled out the noodles, and cooked three bowls of noodles.
Shi Yu couldn't help, so he took off the purse on his waist that contained snacks for Wei Qingyan, poured out half of the beef jerky from it, and soaked it in hot water.
The three of them ate the beef jerky and a bowl of noodles made by Wei Qingyan, and went to bed contentedly.
At this time, in the palace.
The emperor had just finished his state affairs when the leader of the secret guards brought news about the man in black.
The man in black with a scar on the back of his hand who took away Prince Feng Zhao was a secret guard employed by the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, he went to the retirement place arranged by the late emperor.
He had been missing for a few days, and when the leader of the secret guards went to investigate, the supervisor of the retirement home was reporting the news to his superiors.
The emperor pinched his brows wearily. The secret guards employed by the late emperor would only follow his orders.
He was puzzled. Why did the late emperor want to steal Prince Feng Zhao? When he did this, did he consider the consequences?
Now that Feng Zhao has investigated the Wei Dynasty, how will he end up?
How should the Wei Dynasty respond?
Then where did the late emperor hide Prince Feng Zhao?
The emperor sat alone in the imperial study for a long time, and finally went to the empress dowager's Cining Palace.
