Xinchuanzhu never expected that a storm caused by a counterfeit currency case suddenly made him lose his two sons.

If the fifth brother was deposed and he had a little bit of heartache, then the second brother was exiled, it would really hurt to the flesh.

If it weren't for the iron evidence, if it weren't for the sixth brother pressing step by step, kneeling outside the hall and shouting , "The Lord is the Lord of the people, and the law is also the law of the people. As the Lord of Sichuan, I believe that the Lord has his own decisions." He would probably ignore the evil deeds of his second son as before and continue to preserve the honor and status of his beloved son.

What's more ironic is that they are all sons, when Lao Wu left the palace, facing the innocent Lao Wu, the last sentence he said was "From now on, I will pretend that I don't have your son." Then he ordered people to seize Lao Wu's mansion and drove Lao Wu out.

When dealing with the second son, he not only had tears in his eyes, but also specially summoned the second son before the decree was issued. At the place where the young master was studying, he staged a farewell to "father, kindness, son, filial piety". For a moment, he even complained about why Lao Liu was so pressing.

For the master of Xinchuan, only the legitimate son is the son, and the concubine son is just a minister, a chess piece, and abstained son.

At first, I thought that the old fifth person was deposed was also the helpless move of the master of Xinchuan.

On the one hand, compared with Lao Wu, Lao Liu is indeed worth more; on the other hand, he knows that once the charge falls on Lao Liu, the second brother will definitely be killed, and Lao Wu will at least not die.

However, after savoring the attitude of the Xinchuan Lord towards the counterfeit currency case, as well as the reasons and the whole story of the old fifth and sixth anti-order, I found a more disheartening truth - Laowu is not a scapegoat at all. As early as when he followed Lao Liu to the Danchuan border, he had already stepped into the trap that his father had put in advance.

counterfeit currency case

Since the Liu of Lao Liu came to court, he has made many great contributions. Although the debt collection incident has offended many old ministers, the support of the master of Xinchuan still makes the second son feel a sense of crisis.

In order to curb the development momentum of Lao Liu and prevent Lao Liu from making another contribution to the implementation of new currency, Lao Er created a counterfeit currency case.

Does Xinchuan master know that the second brother is behind the counterfeit currency case? Of course,

knows.

Not to mention it, the master of Xinchuan has many eyes and eyes, and has been secretly staring at the young masters' every move (this point has been mentioned by the second son in the play).

Single motivation and ability are the second child. The counterfeit coins appearing in

can almost be fake and real. In Lao Liu's words, if it were not for the printing of the real currency, it would be impossible to imitate it to this point. The printed version has always been managed by Lao Er's second household registration department, and it was only handed over to Lao Third for safekeeping shortly before the counterfeit currency appeared.

Both the third and the sixth brother can doubt the second brother, and the master of Xinchuan cannot imagine it.

In other words, from the time when the sixth brother handed over the counterfeit currency to the master of Xinchuan, the master of Xinchuan knew that this was the second brother's work.

So what is the attitude of Xinchuanzhu towards the counterfeit currency case?

What is certain is that as the master of Sichuan, he does not want counterfeit currency to spread. Moreover, the counterfeit currency case has caused a lot of controversy and has a bad impact, so it must be investigated.

However, checking is a must, but he does not want to find the second child's head.

Therefore, he handed over the task of investigating the case to the second household registration department. This is clearly a favoritism, and it is almost like writing the three words "partial" on your forehead.

In fact, if the second child is smart enough, he will naturally have the time, chance, and ability to pick himself up and handle this matter well, such as silence him.

But the master of Xinchuan didn't expect that his stupid son didn't expect this level at all. The second brother thought he was doing it perfectly and handed over the task of investigating the case to the third brother.

The third brother dared not check him, but the sixth brother dared. In order to get a job, the third brother asked Lao Liu for help. When Lao Liu took action, he found Chen Xi and found the second brother only one step away.

Things have reached this point, deviating from the expectations of the Master of Xinchuan.

Since Chen Xi was found, he had no reason to stop Lao Liu from continuing to investigate. But he knew exactly what the result was after checking it.In order to protect the second child and to give the second child another chance to escape, he specially summoned the second child to remind the second child:

"But after checking for four days, he finally found the source, and he was only able to catch this Chen Xi. What's wrong with you?"

On the surface, this sentence is a useless sentence that scolded the second child for being useless. After checking for so long, I haven't found anything useful. But in fact, the master of Xinchuan is blaming the second child for being stupid and slow: Why haven’t you handled ? All found Chen Xi.

The second child obviously did not understand the profound meaning of the words, and was still emphasizing the use of the sixth brother torture. Now the master of Xinchuan got angry and said to the second child:

"The eldest master! You want to teach Gu Xinchuan the criminal law but fail. If you have a counterfeit currency, please leave it to Yin Zheng to deal with it. If you can't handle the matter of the Household Affairs Department well, go to the fourth brother to treat the ceremony. Go back and think about it carefully."

savor this passage carefully, which is the last reminder from the master of Xinchuan to the second child:

Don't talk to me about the uselessness. The point is not that the sixth brother used the torture, but that you will be found soon! I have to hand over the matter to Lao Liu now. You know what kind of Lao Liu’s personality is. You can go back and think about it carefully and how to deal with it. Either, you find a way to wipe your butt clean; or you have settled Chen Xi, no matter what method you use, you will solve the problem for me, so don't expose it. Otherwise, you will know the consequences.

You should know that the master of Xinchuan already knows that the second child has nothing to do with the counterfeit currency case. If he really wants the truth, there is no need to inform the second child of the progress of the case at this time, and there is no need to specifically mention the name Chen Xi.

But now that happened, he had to acquiesce to Lao Liu to continue to check, but he neither wanted the second brother to be really broken, nor could he tell the second brother directly that he knew, and he could only use this method to remind the second brother to think of a countermeasure.

For the master of Xinchuan, he was not angry about the second brother participating in the counterfeit currency case, after all, it did not cause much loss. He was angry that the second child was so stupid that he was about to be exposed so quickly, and he didn't know it.

As the eldest son, he doesn’t even have this ability or sensitivity, how could he not be angry?

He relies on promoting the sixth brother in order to hone the second brother and make the second brother a qualified power-minded person.

As the winner of the last power struggle, he knew very well that power struggle, means and calculations were all trained in "actual combat". Therefore, he was happy to see the battle between Lao Er and Lao Liu, the whetstone.

Even though the second brother's calculations and methods are a bit unbearable, and even affects Xinchuan's interests, as long as he does not waver, he will turn a blind eye to see how the second brother can maintain his position.

But if you fight back, losing your second child is not the result he wants to see. So when necessary, he needs to remind his second son to avoid losing this legitimate son who has high hopes.

entered the game

The second child who returned to the mansion finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

He knew that once the counterfeit currency case was exposed to the public, even if he was the eldest son, he would have to ignore it. The most important thing at the moment is to find a mistake in Lao Liu and directly cut off Lao Liu's career. In this way, not only will the counterfeit currency case be resolved, but it will be resolved once and for all.

So the Tong'anshan Charcoal Vein incident occurred: took the initiative to block the official road of Daichuan and recommended Lao Liu to go to Daichuan for negotiation. After Lao Liu set off, he persuaded the Xinchuan Lord to issue an imperial edict to block the official road of Danchuan and push Lao Liu to a dead end.

Lao Er knows that with Lao Liu's personality, once he knows that blocking the official road of Danchuan will affect the livelihood of the people who live on the Tea-Horse Festival, he will definitely not sit idly by. However, if he asks for instructions according to the rules, there will be no time at all. If he wants to protect people's livelihood, he will have only one way to resist the order.

By then, Lao Liu will become the fish under his throne.

So isn't the second son's calculation clear about Xinchuanzhu?

He knows it.

The matter of charcoal marijuana involves Daichuan, who was the second wife Zhao Fangru's parents' home. The matter would not come out early or late. But when the truth of the counterfeit currency case was about to surface, no one believed it.

Not to mention the master of Xinchuan, even the fifth brother thinks that the timing is too right and things must be strange.

The reason why the Xinchuan Lord did not stop him and even cooperated with the second brother to issue the order to block the official road of Danchuan is that:

Even if the second brother is really planning for the sixth brother, it is related to the charcoal vein that Xinchuan is missing. He must pay attention to it and ensure that everything is foolproof. The reissue of the imperial edict was to prevent the meticulous work from entering Tong'an Mountain. He had no reason to refuse the second son's request.

For Xinchuan master, between the charcoal vein and the safety of Laolu, the former is obviously more important. Besides, he also wanted to see how Lao Liu would choose.

However, unlike the second brother, the second brother set a dead end for the sixth brother, while the master of Xinchuan left a way for the sixth brother, and this way for the sixth brother is the fifth brother.

Please pay attention to a detail.

. If Lao Wu and Lao Liu had not been with Lao Liu, then Lao Wu would not have the chance to help Lao Liu come out of his head. At that time, Lao Liu's crime of resisting the imperial edict would be confirmed.

But from an objective perspective, the meaning of going with the old five is not very important.

First, he did not have any official position and did not involve any issues of his responsibilities; secondly, although Lao Wu was Danchuan's son-in-law, Lao Liu's mission was to negotiate with Daichuan, not Danchuan. The Danchuan Tea and Horse Festival happened later.

In other words, Lao Wu shouldn't have appeared in this game.

So, who arranged for Lao Wu and Lao Liu to go with him?

is Xinchuan master.

In the drama, before Lao Wu set off, Shangguan Jing complained that Lao Wu didn’t know how to ride a horse, why did she have to follow him. Lao Wu replied:

"This time my father asked me to follow Lao Liu to experience and experience. Maybe when I come back, my father will assign me an official position."

The so-called experience is not tenable at all.

You should know that the master of Xinchuan at this time knew that Lao Liu's trip was set by the second brother, and also knew what kind of difficulties the Liu would face. He gave Lao Wu, who had nothing to do with this matter and could not help, obviously it was not a training experience, but pushed Lao Wu into Fire Pit .

If you really want to practice and promote the fifth brother, why bother let the fifth brother go to this muddy water?

At this point, the meaning of Xinchuanzhu is already very obvious.

He didn't want Lao Liu to take advantage of this matter, so he specially brought Lao Wu into the game, so that when the incident happened, Lao Wu could take everything for Lao Liu.

As for why it is Lao Wu, the reason is very simple:

Once, Lao Wu is the son who has already started a court in the palace and is the most unsuitable person for his career and has no ambition.

Secondly, Lao Wu and Lao Liu have the closest relationship and are kind and upright. This means that once something happens to Lao Liu, Lao Wu will never sit idly by. As for Lao San, although the third brother has a good relationship with Lao Liu, it cannot reach the point of sacrificing himself to protect Lao Liu.

San came, Lao Wu is Danchuan's son-in-law, and the matter of refusal to refusal to the order involves Danchuan. No one will question it.

From all aspects, the fifth brother is the best candidate.

In other words, the new Sichuan master of did not make a decision between the sixth and the fiveth after the anti-order incident happened, but he deliberately pulled the fiveth into the game from the beginning, in order to leave a way out for the sixth.

In the play, when Lao Wu was guilty of Lao Liu and Lao Liu knelt down to beg for his father, Lord Xinchuan, Lord Xinchuan said this:

"He knows it or not. Is this the time when you talk about brotherly loyalty?... Lao Wu has already admitted it himself that it was his own work. He is also Danchuan's son-in-law. He said that it has nothing to do with this matter. Who can believe the civil and military officials in the court?"

Xinchuan's master said this passage is to tell Lao Liu:

Of course I know that Lao Wu has nothing to do with this matter, but in order to give the civil and military officials in the court, sacrificing Lao Wu is the best choice. This is also to protect you, so don't cause trouble at this time.

Things have developed to this point, and everything is under the control of the Master of Xinchuan.

The second son of the beloved son is not broken, and the sixth son who is most suitable for whetstone is not broken. It doesn’t affect anything if he breaks a fifth son who is unintentional to political affairs.

is written at the end:

I have always agreed with a sentence in "Da Ming Palace Ci":

"Power is like a trap. No matter what falls into it, it cannot escape, and even family affection. Family affection is the most vulnerable and most carefully protected thing in the world. Once it falls into a trap, once it is stabbed by the sting of power, the first thing that is necrotic is family affection."

was born in the imperial family, how could father-son love come from.

For the master of Xinchuan, this identity of the master is more important than the identity of the father. The son is first a minister, and then the son. In order to train a qualified heir for Xinchuan, he would rather use his son as a tool to hone his second child.

, however, he did not expect that the second child he had worked hard to train was finally pulled down by the sixth child.

From the perspective of emperor's power, the Xinchuan Lord may not be wrong, and all kings of all dynasties have been like this. But from the perspective of being a father, even for the second child, he does not have much real father-son relationship.

His preference and love for the second son is just because of the origin of the legitimate son.

From another perspective, it may not be a bad thing for the old fifth to be a young master or a commoner.

With Lao Wu's simple and kind nature, he is not suitable for the treacherous court, and it is not easy to protect himself. Since this is the case, it is better to stay away from power struggles, not be anyone's pawn, walk around the world with Shangguan Jing, and live a free life.
