Chapter 187 Prologue
The little incident just now was seen by Princess Xu, the wife of Prince Yan, who was standing on a high pavilion not far away and enjoying the scenery with her wives.
Zhang Zhiwei deliberately lured Guo Qing to this place.
Her attack was unexpected, but Xu's attention was expected.
Merchant Girl...
After Xu briefly went over the list of daughters from each family in her mind, she had an idea.
Regarding the cooperation with the Tong family caravan... No, it should be said the small Tong family caravan. I can talk to the prince about it tonight.
Tong, who had a relationship with Madam Zhang Lin, was a man of some knowledge.
If someone is interested in attacking that row of buttons, it can be said that only one set of buttons is fastened. Normally, they are taken off and worn on changing clothes.
Recalling the moment when she glanced at Tong, who was dressed modestly and neatly, and did not take the initiative to approach her to talk, Xu couldn't help but smile.
The situation in Shuntian Prefecture was exactly as my father had described.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere, and there are talented people everywhere, so you can't get them easily.
Sitting in the seat of Princess Yan, she could see more clearly than when she was in the boudoir.
How to keep steady on the small boat called Prince Yan's Mansion amidst the turbulent undercurrent is something that the mistress of the house should learn throughout her life.
Now she is just getting started.
I don’t know when I will be able to have the wisdom like my father.
Father, I hope your spirit in heaven can bless your daughter.
I don't ask for a smooth life, but I hope to be able to avoid danger when encountering things.
……
When Zhang Zhiwei was sure that Xu's eyes were focused on her, she knew that the purpose of coming to the banquet today had been achieved.
Her biological mother Tong's Tong Duo's brother Tong Yunchuan was only the legitimate son of the third wife. Whether it was inheriting the Tong family or holding an important position, it was not his turn in terms of seniority and order of the family.
Not to mention, the third branch has now split up.
The pillar of the third house, that is, their father, is still working hard for the Tong family's ancestral business.
But the boys from the third room could not rely solely on their father for support, and each of them began to find other ways to make a living.
The eldest son Tong Yunchuan joined other businessmen and worked as a housekeeper and accountant.
After Zhang Zhiwei figured out this clue, he took the opportunity to bring the entire caravan under his own influence.
The name of the caravan is 'Wanfu' and it is usually led by the puppet boss.
But when faced with the distinguished guests from Prince Yan's Mansion who took the initiative to come forward to offer business, Zhang Zhiwei deliberately arranged for Tong Yunchuan to go.
Actively show the chicken feet, give an obvious clue, let Xu family figure it out by themselves, and then make another assessment of the value of this caravan that was once rejected by their housekeeper and only received a brief report.
The chief planner of the Jingnan Campaign, the monk Daoyan, is already in place.
With his wisdom, how could he miss such a well-prepared trade route?
Spread the information slowly and the fish will take the bait.
Be cautious about cooperation between people and focus on the key points.
Regardless of whether the gift-giving was successful or not, her status as a daughter-in-law was competitive in Xu's mind, at least for now.
If Xu was asked to choose between her and Guo Qing, it would definitely be her.
I just wonder how Guo Qing would react if she got the chance and heard what Xu was thinking?
After marrying into Prince Yan's Mansion, she can use her spiritual sense to conceal Xu's true thoughts, thereby confusing Guo Qing's information acquisition.
But now the Princess of Yan is at least a hundred miles away from her. The risk of rashly using her abilities and exposing herself to the public is not proportional to the benefits of simply deceiving Guo.
"Just wait and see what happens."
The Princess of Yan was going to follow the Prince of Yan back to Beiping, but Guo Qing couldn't follow them.
*
Tasker A, Zhang Baiyu, as she wished, entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion as a concubine in the 22nd year of Hongwu and was called "Mrs. Zhang".
(After a quick search, it seems that there was no such thing as a "concubine" in the Ming Dynasty.
Position sequence: Princess-Madam-Concubine
If you check it wrong, just treat it as a private setting)
She entered the battlefield as she wished, but unfortunately she has not yet become pregnant.
Ma Qingye's movements were very clean and neat.
Zhu Biao died two years earlier, in the 23rd year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yunwen became the crown prince ahead of schedule.
Zhu Yuanzhang sentenced Zhu Biao to death in advance for the team he personally assigned to him.
What surprised Zhang Zhiwei was that Ma Qing did not do anything to save these old ministers, allowing them to be executed, and even used the network he operated to actively submit some small reports.
It was as if she wished that all the heroes would be killed.
Ma Qingye's actions made the situation even more unclear.
They have all lived to see the promotion match of the 'Ming' section. For example, the unreasonable tasker Guarjia Gefuhe... well... it is not impossible for him to live to this time.
But is this Ma Qing really like this?
The evil power, which was completely different from the endless energy of her wood spiritual roots, always made her instinctively more fearful.
Assuming that she did everything with a purpose, leaving Zhu Yunwen with no one to rely on and forcing him to listen to the words of Qi and Huang and carry out an act of reducing the power of the vassal states that could be described as a game of elimination, what benefit would that bring to her?
The short-lived centralization of power led to chaos in the country, rebellion by the vassal kings, and the covetous gaze of the Huns...
The missing pieces made Zhang Zhiwei unable to guess her plan.
But it is undeniable that Zhang Zhiwei will not stop this situation which all taskers are happy to see.
In the 26th year of Hongwu, Ma Qing also married the crown prince.
In the same year, the Zhang family waited for the matchmaker from Prince Yan's Palace.
If Guo Qing makes just one wrong step, then all of them will be wrong.
However, it was too easy for her to enter Prince Yan's Mansion with her identity.
She accidentally fell into the water during a small banquet, and she entered the mansion in a sedan chair and several boxes.
At this time, the Zhang family only exchanged engagement letters with the Prince of Yan's Palace.
Guo Qing's abacus beads were about to fall on Zhang Zhiwei's face like Wei Yi's.
Giving birth to a child in advance to consolidate one's position is one thing.
When something happens, let her, the 'Prince Consort of Yan', take the lead.
If there is a problem, let her and Mrs. Zhang do their best.
This will lay a good foundation for the palace fight in advance. If she can be defeated, she will legitimately become the Prince of Yan's consort, which will be the fourth benefit.
With her ability to read minds, this isn't too difficult for her to do.
And she must have understood why Zhu Gaochi avoided her, so there was no further contact between them.
Do not……
Maybe she did it knowingly.
It's just to create a setting for myself that I will have a secret crush on someone and a long-lasting love in the future.
People who can read minds may not be very smart, but due to their innate advantages, they are definitely not too clean. Everything they do has a different purpose, and people should not underestimate them or give them too much thought.
The end of arrogance is Ge Fuhe.
She didn't want to die in such an undignified way.
……
With the status of the Zhang family and the identity of the eldest son of Prince of Yan, Zhang Zhiwei entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Nanjing with Sixty-Six, who carried the dowry, on the seventh day of the third month in the spring of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu.
One month later, she will go to Peking with Prince Yan's family.
The prelude to the war officially began.
