101, suspicion (two more)

Fan Siyan and Situ Zisu's chariots and horses arrived at the palace. The princess was a little strange to see the two of them suddenly visiting. These two people are not reckless people, why haven't they come to the door in such a hurry? Fan Siyan said to the princess with a serious face: "Princess, we have important things to tell you!" ”

"I see, you all go down." The princess waved back left and right, and the two of them were really in a hurry. However, the relationship between Prince Li's Mansion and Xueyihou Mansion has never been deep. Just because the three of them used to have heavy soldiers, the emperor was very jealous. Therefore, there are very few private contacts between the three families, and they are just the contacts of female dependents. Now that the two of them suddenly came to the door, what was the important matter?

There were only three of them left in the room, and the princess asked, "Now you can tell me what is the matter?" Fan Siyan hurriedly said: "The prime minister secretly did something to the grain and grass that will be transported to the border land tomorrow, not only can this grain and grass not arrive at the border land on time, but also will lack salt and rice, even if it is sent to the border land at that time, the soldiers will not be able to eat it, princess, you quickly let the prince think of a way!" ”

When the princess heard this, her face turned straight: "Where did you hear this?" Situ Zisu opened his mouth and said: "Princess, we can't tell you where this news came from, but this matter is absolutely true. Take 10,000 steps back, we have to take precautions! ”

"The prime minister and my Prince Gong's mansion are not in harmony, and they have been on the table since the beginning of the Jinghua expedition." The princess's face returned to normal, and she just said this sentence meaningfully. Fan Siyan didn't have time to think about it, but persuaded him: "Since you know everything, princess, let's quickly think of a way." Tomorrow, the team escorting grain and grass will leave Shengjing. If we take the first step to intercept the grain and grass, we may be able to send it to the border land safely! ”

The princess looked at Fan Siyan and smiled slightly: "Silly boy, if the prince really intercepted the grain and grass, delayed the fighter plane, and delayed the border war, wouldn't the charge be deducted from the prince's head?" Fan Siyan was inexplicable: "Then what should we do?" ”

Situ Zisu had already heard the deep meaning of the princess's previous sentence, and pulled Fan Siyan to salute the princess: "The princess's words, we understand. Today, we took the liberty of interrupting, and we were abrupt. After speaking, he was going to drag Fan Siyan out. Fan Siyan looked at Situ Zisu suspiciously, it was a critical moment, why did he go out?

The princess did not keep it. Ask someone to send off a guest. It wasn't until he got into the carriage that Fan Siyan couldn't help but stare at Situ Zisu and asked, "County Lord, why did you pull me to escape?" Situ Zisu sighed, stretched out his index finger and poked Fan Siyan's head fiercely: "I said are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Didn't you understand what the princess said? ”

"Which word?" Fan Siyan thought back seriously. Situ Zisu explained angrily: "The princess just said that the prince's disagreement with the palace is already known to passers-by. So in other words. Prince Gong's Mansion had already taken precautions, and the princess did not say anything about this matter, and she couldn't say it too carefully. After all, the three of us should not get too close to each other. ”

Fan Siyan understood as soon as he heard Situ Zisu say this: "It turns out that the palace is prepared. But it's not like the prince has already sent the grain and grass to the border in advance, right? Where did they come from? ”

Situ Zisu said: "This is not something you and I can know. ”

Escorting grain and grass to the border is too dazzling, even if Prince Gong has the troops, he will not dare to do such a thing. However, there is a method of using soldiers in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" called Tun Bing, and a few years ago, when Mu Jinghua evacuated the border with a large army, he did such a thing, that is, he left the seed of the Tu Bing.

In fact, the officers and soldiers stationed in the border areas have been stationing troops for all these years, and the so-called garrison soldiers are to reclaim wasteland in the border areas, and then everyone farms the land together. Although it is said that there are not many soldiers left behind in the border areas. But they hoarded each harvest, and after a few years, there was no shortage of surplus grain.

It's just that this salt problem is indeed a big problem. When Prince Gong went home from the next court, he was distressed when he saw Concubine Ai's thoughtful look: "Ah Ruan, what's wrong with you?" The princess looked up at the princess, with a thick worry in her eyes, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, Prince Gong naturally approached and held her hand. took her into his arms, and his voice was indissolvably gentle: "You're still worried about Jinghua's affairs, aren't you?" ”

The princess nodded: "Today, the county lord of Prince Li's Mansion and the third lady of the Xueyi Marquis Mansion suddenly visited, and they told me that the prime minister had done something with grain and grass. I know that Jinghua is stationed in the border area. But if there is no salt, isn't that a big problem? Lord, why did you make a military order with the emperor in the first place? ”

Prince Gong stretched out his hand and patted the princess's back, wanting to appease his beloved in this way: "I can't help myself, this time I don't follow his wishes, he always has a reason to eradicate Prince Gong's mansion." I'm going to keep you and Jinghua alive. Live in peace. The princess's tears fell: "It's been so many years, why doesn't he still believe you?" ”

"If the national teacher didn't say that, maybe our life would be better. But the way of heaven is difficult to disobey, maybe our Jinghua is not destined to be a thing in the pool. Prince Gong's thoughts were drawn to a long time ago, when his son Duanmu Jinghua was born, auspicious clouds fell from the sky, and dragon-shaped fiery clouds floated over Shengjing. Soon after, the National Master prophesied that the Apocalypse would usher in a wise ruler.

Originally, many people wondered why the emperor did not pass the throne to his younger brother, who had made great achievements, but gave it to his elder brother. Today, the saint has always cared about Youyou's mouth, and he can't wait for Prince Gong to completely disappear from this world. Originally, Prince Gong handed over his military power and quietly became an idle prince.

But since Duanmu Jinghua was born, with that prophecy, the emperor's suspicions have become more and more serious. And Duanmu Jinghua's growth is like the language of the national teacher, he is naturally noble, even better than any prince. How can the emperor not be in a hurry, even if his throne can be secured today, but after a hundred years, will his son still be able to sit on the throne?

Therefore, the emperor has been looking for excuses several times, hoping to completely eliminate the catastrophe of Prince Gong's mansion, but the countries around the Apocalypse have repeatedly invaded, and Prince Gong, the god of war, is a spiritual deterrent to those enemies. The emperor both needs Prince Gong and hopes that Prince Gong will disappear completely.

In this contradictory balance, Prince Gong's mansion has survived to this day. The princess sighed and pulled Prince Gong's thoughts back to reality. "If there is no salt, what should Jinghua do?" (To be continued.) )
