"His Royal Highness the Great Prince, I have always been courteous to the Grand Duke over the years. ”

In a tent in the main camp, Jiang Xue's father was sitting with some people at this time, talking about something.

The Grand Duke nodded and said: "Jiang Zhi never dares to forget, His Royal Highness the Great Prince's kindness, please report to His Royal Highness, since meeting the prince, Jiang Zhi's heart has never wavered." ”

The cronie beside the eldest prince took a sip of the tea in his hand and said lightly: "I have always heard that the eldest duke has a daughter, who is beautiful and beautiful, and now she is also sixteen years old, and it is time to talk about marriage. ”

The Grand Duke frowned slightly, the eldest prince is over twenty-eight years old, and there are already three princesses, although in the empire, there is no law that limits the number of wives and concubines, but the more objects a person has, the less valuable he will be.

Even if it is the prince, the three princesses, and they are just the women he exposed on his face, in private, how many women the eldest prince has has has always been a mystery. But one thing is certain, there are definitely more than three women of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was very famous for his prodigality when he was a teenager.

He himself is a warrior and a prince, with such a dual identity blessing, it is impossible to calculate how many women have climbed on his bed.

In his consideration, the eldest prince is definitely not a suitable candidate.

The cronie shook his head and said, "The Grand Duke is too worried, now that the Grand Prince has a special status, in addition to his special status, His Royal Highness will not marry any princess again." But under the command of the eldest prince, there are now a lot of them, the sons of the big family, and there are many of them who admire Ling Ai very much. This is the message that the eldest prince specially let be sent below. ”

At this time, Jiang Zhi also somewhat understood what the eldest prince had in mind.

Because of the incident of the third prince, his prestige was impacted, and many people hesitated and hesitated whether to vote for the master.

At this time, it also reminded him of his daughter, using beautiful women to envelop martial artists, which is thousands of years, and there is no change in a rule.

The few things that men love the most, force, money, and status, but behind these items, most of them are for women.

This is also a result of human beings, inheritance, the elimination of the good and the bad, competition through different ways, and the final goal is to keep their genes.

From the primordial law of human existence, this is the result of a choice.

The warrior can never escape, the cage of beauty.

Unless you transcend these laws and become a cultivator, you can get rid of these limitations.

In a sense, cultivators are no longer considered human beings, nor are they considered living beings.

Because the meaning of the existence of living beings is inheritance, but the cultivator is a kind of existence of this inheritance.

This matter is not aimed at the Grand Duke, the Grand Prince has sent a lot of people to do this at the same time.

In the family loyal to him, it is not all warrior families, and he wants to use this way to completely bind these families together, intertwined, and unable to separate from him.

The person who made this suggestion to him was the young head of a family in the think tank who followed him.

This person is also one of the people who are interested in Jiang Xue, the strategist next to the eldest prince, the Guo family where Guo Wuji is located, is also a very important aristocratic family in the capital.

Although their status is not as good as that of the princes like the Grand Duke, they are in the capital, closer to the center of power, and their actual power is not much inferior to that of the Grand Duke.

The person sent by the eldest prince acted as a lobbyist to lobby for this matter.

The Grand Duke himself is also a person who belongs to the forces on the side of the Grand Prince, and he has to consider whether the Grand Prince's proposal, or in other words, the current him, has the ability to resist the Grand Prince.

Regardless of the future, whether the eldest prince can go to the end.

It is impossible for any family to be completely clean when it has developed to the present size and has the size it has today.

It is impossible for him to take refuge on the side of the prince alone like the warriors of the rivers and lakes, and he can also join the master at any time.

Even if he betrayed the eldest prince and switched to the three princes, an aristocratic family like him who temporarily switched to it would not generally be reused.

On the side of the third prince, it will not receive much attention.

But he can, let the eldest prince hate him to the core, find some handles, and put on small shoes for him behind his back.

Can he afford such losses and costs?

Even if in the future, the eldest prince is defeated and cannot enter the center of power, the other two princes will not deal with these families specifically. In order to stabilize the stability of the empire, some amnesty will also be issued, and they will not be held accountable, they have done some things in the competition.

I'd rather offend a gentleman than provoke a villain.

This is not to say that the eldest prince is a villain.

It's that once he betrays the eldest prince, he can't use this matter to curry favor with the third prince, and he will only put the Jiang family on the blacklist of the eldest prince and become the person the eldest prince must deal with.

An aristocratic family cannot be like a warrior in the rivers and lakes, and he will change to other camps at will.

Unless this family is really completely clean, without any stains, and there is no need to fear anyone against them, if there is such a family, they will not join any camp. Because the competition of princes, the whirlpool of power, itself is a big dye vat, and any innocent family will not become innocent after they come in.

The eldest prince's cronies said: "This matter, the Grand Duke has to make a decision as soon as possible, His Royal Highness is still waiting for your reply, Young Master Guo Wuji is really admiring Ling Ai, since he saw it in the capital, he has always remembered Miss Jiang Xue." We often listen to him nagging, and his feelings are sincere, not fake. ”

The Grand Duke sighed and said: "It's not that the contemptible people are unwilling, it's really that the little girl is negligent in discipline and has a stubborn temperament, she has already intended someone, so she can only disappoint the eldest prince, and I am also sorry for Young Master Guo." ”

The cronies of the eldest prince snorted coldly and said: "The grand duke said so, but he didn't want to, and put the eldest prince in his eyes." The dignified county guard, managing the entire Xuannu County, was also well governed, but at this time, he said that if he was helpless with his daughter, how to convince the eldest prince and continue to hand over the Xuannu County to the management of the Grand Duke. ”

The rank of the Grand Duke is below the prince, and it is not much different from the identity of the prince, but he was accused by a cronie of the prince in person. It also made his face a little unbearable, and he said coldly: "The Jiang family was blessed by the emperor, and it was the ancestor who established an immortal feat for Cangyue. Even His Majesty has no right to revoke all the officials of the Jiang family at will. ”

As soon as the cronie said it, he regretted it, knowing that he had said the wrong thing. There are some things that they can only think about, but they can't say.

Everything in the Jiang family now is under the shadow of the ancestors, but in these generations, there are no very outstanding people, and their rule cannot help but cause some doubts about whether they are qualified to continue to manage Xuannu County.

The succession of titles is one thing, but the titles are not fixed. Because the ancestors of the Jiang family have made great contributions to the Cangyue Empire, no one has moved this position, so that the people of the Jiang family can continue to inherit it.

But because of this, there are not a few people in the Jiang family, and they are eyeing this position.

The Jiang family also knew all this, so they actively participated in the struggle of the prince this time.

If the Jiang family stands on the right team, at least for a while, there is no need to worry about this situation, and the position of the Jiang family can be stabilized. Even if they fail, as before, their status will be questioned, and whether they can continue to stay in the position of county guard depends on the support of the people.

Even if other families compete with the Jiang family for the position of county guard, it is not a word that can be decided, but through votes, just like the competition for the prince, the residents of Xuannu County itself elect the management family they want.
