In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the previous life, it was also the division of the princes, there were also serious land annexations, the internal politics of the imperial court were corrupt and dark, the eunuchs of foreign relatives interfered in politics, and the people were not able to make a living, and the troubled times lasted for 36 years, and the population decreased sharply.

Coincidentally.

The world of the Great Jin Dynasty will be chaotic very quickly, but the complete demise of the Great Jin Dynasty is not fast.

The prince rebelled, and he would fly the flag of the Qing monarch of the Great Jin Dynasty.

When other forces rise up, the best way is to support the weak emperor and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Therefore, Jia Xu carefully calculated that the Great Jin Dynasty would be completely destroyed for at least ten years. But Shen Ning is more confident, thinking that five years.

"Five years may seem like a long time, but it's actually a lot of time. Shen Gongzi, where did you get your confidence? I won't hide it from you, the five years I said is a situation where everything is going well, if it doesn't go well, maybe twenty or thirty years..."Jia Xu looked at Shen Ning and said seriously.

Shen Ning nodded and said, "I understand!" If it weren't for me, it might have been the time that my husband was talking about, but with my participation, this time would have been greatly shortened. ”

"Twenty or thirty years is too long, it really has to be consumed, even if the Great Jin Dynasty is gone, and a new country is established, how many people will survive? At that time, how will they resist foreign invasions! I can assert that that it was the dark age of our Han people, because the foreigners who were eyeing us had already prepared butcher knives and killed us when we were at our weakest! ”

"At that time, it will not be the death of the country, but the death of the species! Sir, you are resourceful, you should be able to think of it! ”

Jia Xu nodded and sighed: "The foreign races are gradually growing, the Xianbei, Qiang, Xiongnu and other foreign races, following our example, are establishing a unified regime, once their internal strife is resolved, the next step is expansion, there is not much time left for us, the sooner the internal contradictions are resolved, the sooner we can resist foreign enemies." It's just that five years is too short ... Also, what the hell are you going to bet with me? ”

Shen Ning replied, "Within three years, I will become one of the most powerful princes in the Great Jin Kingdom!" Let the gentleman see my strength and understand that my calculations are not true. If I win, my husband will be loyal to me and help me with all his might. If I lose, I'll be at my disposal. Do you dare to bet on it? ”

Jia Xu looked at Shen Ning and asked, "Childe is eighteen years old now?" ”

"That's right."

"Three years later, you are just weak and want to become one of the most powerful princes in the world, haha... Sure enough, he is a young man with great ambitions, and Jia is really old. ”

"Sir, it won't do you any harm. If I'm really strong, why can't you help me? After all, if you want to find a place to stand, you naturally have to choose a strong lord. If I lose, my husband has nothing to lose. ”

"You're right!"

Jia Xu nodded and agreed with Shen Ning's words.

But he was not stupid, and asked, "If I agree to your bet, do you have a precondition for me to give up this plan?" ”

Shen Ning got up and arched his hand: "I can't hide anything, sir." ”

From the very beginning, Shen Ning was to make Jia Xu give up his plan, the emperor could not do anything to the eight kings yet, and now was not the time for chaos.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and thought, his eyes flashed with essence, and after a while, Jia Xu said: "Okay! Jia made a bet with you. Next, my plan can be canceled, but I'm afraid it's too late, Your Majesty heard that the Eight Kings were plotting, even if he didn't know that it was an alliance, he would be jealous and would secretly attack. ”

Shen Ning smiled: "It's okay! His Majesty will do it, but it will only be a means of planting blame, and it will not completely tear his face and start a war against the eight kings. ”

Jia Xu couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" ”

"Why did you say that, sir?" Shen Ning pretended to be surprised.

"You are not a member of the Shen family in Youzhou, Jia still has this vision." Jia Xu believed.

Shen Ning toasted him with another cup of tea, and said with a smile: "If Mr. is willing to help me, I will tell my identity now!" ”

"Forget it... Let's talk about it when you master Xuzhou. Jia Xu hurriedly refused.

Without strength, Jia Xu won't take refuge, this guy is a person who regrets his life.

There were still two quarters of an hour before the curfew, and Shen Ning sent Jia Xu back to the palace.

On the way back to the Southeast Palace, Shen Ning breathed a long sigh of relief.

Jia Xu is worthy of being Jia Xu, a simple design can make Dajin fall into chaos, fortunately, he noticed it in advance, otherwise it would affect his big plan.

Next, I just hope that everything will go smoothly, and when the emperor's birthday is over, he will return to Xuzhou as soon as possible.

The next step is to expand his strength, and then kill Sima Yue, let Sima Haiyun take the position, and completely take down the chessboard of Xuzhou.

"Time is tight..."Shen Ning clenched his fists, but his heart was full of confidence.

......

Nothing was said all night.

After practicing marksmanship the next day, Shen Ning thought about another thing, that is, to confirm whether his mother was still alive. As He Xuanwu and Meng Xingchen said, they can't enter the palace, and there is no way to investigate.

Do you really want to take advantage of Princess Changle?

I really don't want to be involved with her.

"Shen Ning, Shen Ning, is it a question of whether you want to or not?"

Shen Ning secretly scolded himself for being hypocritical, where did his wave of energy go, he had to focus on big things!

"Sacrifice hue is sacrifice, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell!"

Shen Ning made up his mind and was ready to use Princess Changle, but he ignored her before, and now he took the initiative to post it, isn't it too cheap and shameless?

I've got to figure out a good idea.

Just when Shen Ning was thinking about a way, someone from the drowsy brought a pillow, and Yang Jian came again.

"Brother Shen, the weather is good today, why don't you go to Xuanwu Lake?" Yang Jian said with a smile.

Shen Ning saw his eyebrows fluttering, and knew that his swimming in the lake was fake, and it was true that he could get close to Princess Changle.

"Master Horse, you don't study in the house, how can you have the leisure to swim in the lake?" Shen Ning asked.

Yang Jian said: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is visiting the lake today, so she naturally wants to protect it." The princess attaches more importance to your talents, and if you accompany me, the princess will be happy. ”

Not only is it important to look at talent, but also to this handsome skin.

Before the change, Shen Ning was determined to resign, but now he replied: "The master of the horse has spoken, and he will not give up when he goes to the soup!" ”

"Good brother!" Yang Jian was moved.

Subsequently, Shen Ning went to Sima Haiyun, reported to him, and warned him not to run around to avoid being assassinated.

Sima Haiyun is now a frightened bird, nodding like pounding garlic, honestly staying in the palace to eat and drink spicy food, and with the company of beautiful concubines, he won't go out.

Let Zhang Liao and Lu Xun stay in the palace to protect, Shen Ning and Yang Jian rode horses to Xuanwu Lake.

The lake is shining and the breeze is blowing.

Countless pleasure boats dot Xuanwu Lake like stars, and with the surrounding mountain scenery, the scenery is not comparable to the Shigou Lake in Xuzhou.

"The princess's boat is already in the lake, let's take a boat to chase it!" Yang Jian said.

Shen Ning naturally had no objection.

And just when Yang Jian instructed his subordinates to find a ship, Shen Ning met an acquaintance again.

I saw a boat on the shore that was about to sail, Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao, the prince of Huaiwang, found Shen Ning, and the two hurriedly greeted:

"Brother Shen! What a coincidence, I was able to meet you. Do you want to swim in the lake too? ”

When Shen Ning saw the two of them, he returned the salute.

Xiao Rui asked the boat to dock, and the two walked down.

"Hey, isn't this a pony? Why aren't you on duty at the Tiger Guard, and you still have the leisure to come here, don't you hate vassal elegance the most? Xiao Rui had already seen Yang Jian, and when he came over at this time, he immediately ridiculed.

"Sure enough, it's the horse master, I was on the boat just now, I thought I was wrong about you." Sima Zihao also smiled.

The Yang family and the Xiao family are the top families in the imperial capital, and both families are in power, so they are naturally competitors and have many contradictions. All in all, they don't like each other.

As the eldest son of the two families, he naturally didn't deal with it.

Yang Jian couldn't get used to Xiao Rui's literary crepe, weak like a chicken.

Xiao Rui couldn't get used to Yang Jian's rudeness, he was an uneducated reckless man.

I usually turn a blind eye when we meet, but this time because of Shen Ning, I had to fight.

Yang Jian immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "I will say it again, believe it or not, I threw you into the lake to take a bath?" ”

Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao were deflated in an instant, sure enough, it was Xiucai who met Bing, it is unreasonable, people are just playing vulgar, what can you do with me!

"Brother Shen, how can you be familiar with this person! Come with us on the lake, please get on the boat! Sima Zihao admired Shen Ning and immediately invited at this time.

Shen Ning declined: "I have just promised to accompany him to swim in the lake, I can only say sorry to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, I have disappointed your good intentions." ”

Xiao Rui saw that Yang Jian hadn't found the boat yet, so he said, "Master Horse, where is your boat?" Flying? For the sake of Shen Gongzi's face, do you want to take our boat? ”

"Good! You sent us to the princess's cruise, which is a reward. Yang Jian directly dragged down his money bag and threw it to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui kicked the money bag into the lake and snorted, "It's better to leave it to the water god in the lake." ”

"Shen Gongzi, please!"

Faced with Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao's kind invitations, Shen Ning couldn't refuse even if he didn't want to get on the boat.

After getting on the boat, the cruise ship started, Yang Jian sat in a corner to search for Princess Changle's boat, while Shen Ning chatted with Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao.

"Brother Shen, how did you and Yang Jian meet?" Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask.

Shen Ning said with a smile: "The cause and effect of this matter is still on Xiao Gongzi." ”

"Something to do with me?" Xiao Rui was stunned.

Shen Ning explained: "At the last poetry meeting, Princess Changle was also present. When I escorted the prince of the southeast into the palace, I happened to meet Her Royal Highness the princess and Yang Jian in front of the Wufeng Tower, and Her Royal Highness the princess is also a studious person, so I chatted with her for a few words, so I met the master of the horse. ”

"I see." Only then did Xiao Rui understand the reason.

Sima Zihao admired: "I think Yang Jian's attitude towards Brother Shen is particularly friendly, his bullish temper is not good, Brother Shen is really a master!" ”

"Where and where, making friends is important in sincerity, you don't dislike my humble status, this is also the truth!" Shen Ning replied.

Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao immediately laughed.

"I saw the princess's boat! Be there, be there! ”

Suddenly, Yang Jian pointed to a huge ship not far away and shouted.

The boatman rowed the boat over, and when he got closer, Shen Ning saw several women on the boat, it seemed that Princess Changle was not swimming in the lake alone, but also called her best friend.

Shen Ning was suddenly a little worried.

Princess Changle looks at her gaze like a tiger looking at her prey, with so many people here, won't she show her stuffing?

The others are not as stupid as Yang Jian.
