Chapter 20 The color of the country is fragrant

Sikong Liang understood what the emperor meant, and he didn't really want people to replace the position of the general at this time.

Not to mention that the Shuai Yin Talisman is still in his hands, these 200,000 horses are Sikong Liang's descendants, and they have followed him to fight in the south and north for many years.

It wasn't until the troubled times were peaceful that they set up camp at the border pass.

For those people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, what matters is that their commander is Sikong Liang, who has always only listened to the orders of the general.

Even if the emperor's decree changed the head of this group of people, it was only on the surface, and it might not be able to really deter such a large group of people.

When it comes to war, it is most taboo to change the commander, the emperor naturally understands this truth, and Sikong Liang also understands.

The emperor's move is really a knock on the mountain, no matter whether he has two hearts or not, the emperor has begun to be dissatisfied with the Sikong family.

The entire army of 200,000 is loyal to others, how can the emperor rest assured?

The strength of the Sikong family is there, not only one Sikong Liang, but also several of his clan brothers, which is enough to build a new dynasty.

Sikong Liang has a high position, and he has never liked those rules and etiquette, so he built a general's mansion and rarely asked about things in the clan.

And the current patriarch of the Sikong family is Sikong Liang's cousin, and now the richest man in Jiangnan, Sikong Yi.

His business acumen is flexible, and after decades of hard work, the original family was just a few small workshops, but in his hands it has multiplied dozens of times.

It is not an exaggeration to use the phrase rich to describe Sikong Yi's wealth.

Military power and financial resources are really a terrible enemy.

In addition, there are some villains who are agitating in the emperor's ears, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, even if there are his secret agents in the capital, what happened in the dynasty, what the emperor thinks, he can't know.

Faintly, Sikong Liang had already noticed that the emperor's trust in him was not as good as before.

Last night, I deliberately went against my temperament and dealt with the emperor, just to clarify some rumors.

Unexpectedly, all plans were disrupted by the prince's trouble, and he was injured.

Concealing his injuries, Sikong Liang also has two purposes, except to take a break and do something behind the scenes.

The most important thing is to take the opportunity to probe the emperor's mind and see if he wants to picket this matter to the end.

Will he punish the prince severely, or let his precious son act arbitrarily and hurt the hearts of the ministers?

Sikong Liang has always been used to being arbitrary, but no matter how withdrawn and independent a person is, he also hopes that someone will share his thoughts, and Jiang's actions last night really touched his heart, so he will tell him this.

Hearing this, Jiang couldn't help frowning, no matter what, she is still the general's wife, the court's first-class lady.

She understands very well the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost, and if Sikong Liang has something, she will not fall into any benefits.

"General, why don't I send a letter to my father and let him enter the palace?"

Jiang Guogong is also one of the emperor's trusted courtiers, in particular, Jiang Guogong's eldest son, that is, the brother of the Jiang family, is now the secretary of the military department, and the emperor will listen to his words more or less.

He understood Jiang's words, and letting Jiang Guogong enter the palace to present his feelings to the emperor would be more or less helpful to the Sikong family.

However, Sikong Liang didn't want to do this.

How could Sikong Liang not know that back then, Jiang Zhirou married him, and was laughed at as a strong alliance, especially the emperor's important position of the military department Shangshu was entrusted to the son of the Jiang family.

If the two join forces, it will be a terrible force.

But Jiang Guogong has always looked down on Sikong Liang, thinking that he is only a brave man who has the opportunity to achieve heroic deeds in troubled times, and he also deceived his daughter, who was born and raised in the boudoir.

Originally, Jiang Guogong's daughter who was trained by a good student had a great effect.

Jiang was born beautiful, and was deliberately cultivated by his father, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and very good at observing words and colors, well versed in the art of people's hearts, both talented and beautiful, and knew how to play with power, why can't such a woman stand firm in the palace?

With Jiang Zhirou's ability, apart from the queen, which other woman in the palace can be her opponent?

However, the saint gave him a marriage, but he married the daughter of his country to Sikong Liang, a martial artist, and Jiang Guogong has always been holding his breath in his heart.

The Jiang family and the Sikong family have always been at odds, many times, and above the court, there are also political discords and noisy.

What Sikong Liang didn't tell Jiang was that this time the emperor sent him to temporarily replace him as the commander of the post of Jiang Zhenqiang, the eldest son of Jiang Shangshu and the eldest grandson of Jiang Guogong.

Jiang Guogong's greatest pride in his life was not that he served the emperor as a founding hero, nor did he give birth to a son who was the secretary of the military department and a daughter who married the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

His most proud capital now is that he has seven grandsons with outstanding martial arts talents, graceful and amazing talents, four of which are the sons of Jiang Shangshu, although he was born in the Houmen, he has been strict since he was a child, and he has talents in all aspects.

Even the Son of Heaven once praised: "Guogong is really a good skill, children and grandchildren have the ability to go around the knees, if my sons also have the ability of the Jiang family's Erlang, I will have no regrets in this life." ”

As a result, the good reputation of the seventh son of the Jiang family spread throughout Dou Liang.

The emperor sent Jiang Zhenqiang, although he was only a temporary deputy general, saying that he was sent to the border for training.

A discerning person can see at once that this person's future prospects are limitless.

The most important thing is that he is obviously the nephew of the Jiang family, but he is obviously on the emperor's side to deal with his uncle, how can Sikong Liang rest assured and let Jiang Guogong help him speak?

Sikong Liang has been following the emperor for many years, and he knows very well the character of this son of heaven who has finally ascended to the throne by all means, and his suspicion is very serious.

If it was just a temptation to send Jiang Zhenqiang to the border pass at the beginning, if Jiang Guogong really went into the palace to help the general say good things, I was afraid that the emperor would really think that the Sikong family had two hearts and wanted to find a way to take back the military power.

These words can't be said to the Jiang family, so Sikong Liang just smiled, patted the Jiang family's shoulder and said, "Zhirou, don't worry, with General Ben here, it will be fine." ”

Jiang also understood that the general didn't want to say anything more to her about this matter.

Wen Wan smiled at Sikong Liang Fufu, and then went out to find Wang's mother to arrange for the morning.

And in this compartment, after watching Jiang go out, Sikong Liang walked back to the secret passage in the inner room, coughed lightly, and then saw that the wall next to the bed opened a door from the inside, and the deputy general Liu Long walked out from inside.

"I'll tell you, it's so ......" Sikong Liang whispered a few words in Liu Long's ear, and saw Liu Long's expression becoming more and more solemn.

He nodded solemnly, "The subordinates promise to complete the task." ”

Then he returned to the chamber and closed the door, leaving the wall to look like the wall.

Except for the general, the general's wife, and the confidants, they didn't know that there was a hole in the general's wife's inner room.
