Chapter 574: The Great Limit is Approaching
Dong Pingbo read the secret letter, and his heart was full of thoughts.
She stared at the eldest princess and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you come from this letter?" ”
The eldest princess naturally knew why her father was so moved, because she had already read the content of the secret letter.
"It was given to me by His Royal Highness King Jing's close guard, let me hand it over to my father......"
"How can you be sure that he is the guard next to King Jing??"
Dong Pingbo said sharply.
Although only from the content of the secret letter, he believed that this letter was not forged by others to trap him.
However, King Jing wants to recruit him through Jing'er's way, and this matter seems too weird......
"Father don't be suspicious, this letter must be true......"
The eldest princess explained anxiously.
Naturally, the letter was truly safe, because with it came a letter to her......
That letter must not be forged by others, so this letter can never be forged by others.
"Honestly!"
Dong Pingbo did not give her a chance to be vague.
"Father's ......"
The eldest princess was stunned, a little at a loss.
After all, he knew that the stakes were very important, and he couldn't let his father be suspicious, so he had to promise to say: "King Jing was once responsible for handling the funeral for Jing Xiu, and stayed in the palace for a month, during which there were some things that outsiders could not know, so my daughter can determine that the other party is indeed a person sent by King Jing......"
Although she tried to calm herself, her face burned involuntarily when she talked about it in front of her father.
"You ?!!"
Dong Pingbo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to his daughter's words, and immediately raised his hand.
In the end, the slap didn't go down.
Although he had no choice but to marry her to the eldest prince, he was a little sorry for his daughter after all.
Now that the situation in the palace is even more ashamed of his daughter.
With a long sigh, he said, "King Jing, is it really the former Uncle Jing Yuan, Jia Baoyu?" ”
As soon as Dong Pingbo asked, the eldest princess even hesitated at the bottom of her heart.
Jia Baoyu suddenly told him that he was actually a royal person, and now he had been named Prince Jing by the Emperor Taishang, which surprised her too.
But she still believes it, just because he is Jia Baoyu.
Now that my father took the initiative to ask this, it is obvious that this matter is not what Jia Baoyu said.
So she nodded solemnly.
Dong Pingbo looked at his daughter, and wanted to reprimand her daughter's family for keeping women's morals, but he couldn't say anything, so he finally had to give up and sit and ponder.
"Father thinks there's a deception?"
The eldest princess did not blindly persuade her father to "accept Zhao'an", she knew that she didn't know much about these things outside, and all she relied on was her trust in that person.
And his father should have a clearer and more rational judgment.
Dong Pingbo shook his head and said: "What King Jing said in his letter should be mostly true, in the current situation, the second prince and his party will hold on to the Beijing Division, and if they continue for a long time, they will definitely be defeated."
This is still the case that the emperor has not come forward, so he can hold on for a period of time.
If the Emperor appears, most of the people in the city may defect......
However, I expect that the Emperor Taishang may be in poor health and will not come forward in a short time, or perhaps, King Jing and others are unwilling to touch the Emperor Taishang, but want to earn the opportunity to make meritorious contributions......"
The eldest princess listened quietly and said, "In that case, why did my father hesitate?" Now that King Jing has thrown down the cable, his father should seize the opportunity! ”
Dong Pingbo shook his head and said, "Faith is true, I believe it." But I don't fully believe King Jing's promise.
Let's not talk about whether King Jing really has the power to grant the position of marquis, just saying that the conditions he offered are obviously only giving me one choice, that is, to open the city within one day!
But you don't know that most of your father's cronies have been lost at the foot of the Iron Fence Mountain.
The soldiers and horses in his hands now were brought out from the northern and southern camps later, and the degree of loyalty is far less than before.
Regardless of this, the current military power alone has actually been divided several times by His Royal Highness King Qi.
Even I don't know which people around me are loyal to the second prince and which ones are outside the city. If I rashly propose Kaicheng, if I am not careful, the Feng family will be the end of my Chen family.
Moreover, more than 30 members of the Feng family all died at the hands of their father......"
Dong Pingbo talked about his doubts one by one.
To put it bluntly, he was worried that Jia Baoyu would trap the white wolf in vain, trick him into opening the city, and kill the donkey afterwards, but also worried that he would lose in a hurry.
Seeing her father's hesitation, the eldest princess was not anxious, but said very calmly: "The daughter just wants to know, in her father's heart, does she believe in King Qi or King Jing more?" Between the two, the father always had to choose one. ”
Dong Pingbo sighed: "In this situation, don't talk about the question of who to believe, it is true that what King Qi said is true, it is really people outside the city who are plotting rebellion, but I am afraid that King Qi has almost no chance of winning."
What's more, the father always believes that what King Qi said is not true. ”
The eldest princess's expression became relaxed, and she said, "Father doesn't know, my daughter still hasn't told her father."
In a private letter between His Royal Highness King Jing and his daughter, he said that if my father intends to abandon the darkness and turn to the light after seeing the letter, I will tell my father that he does not need to worry about the affairs of the Feng family.
He knew about the Feng family, and the blame was not on his father. After the rebellion is quelled, he will compensate the Feng family separately and will not hold his father responsible. ”
"Is that true?"
Dong Pingbo was very surprised.
It's not that this sentence completely dispelled his concerns, but that Jia Baoyu made so many preparations, which showed more and more his sincerity in recruiting An.
The balance in his heart was tilted even more.
If Jia Baoyu really had such a promise, then what if the Feng family hated him to the core?
There are many families with hatred in the capital, and he is not afraid of Feng Tang's old guy!
"Where's the private message, show me!"
"Father~"
The eldest princess never expected it, and was so frightened that she took two steps back.
"Give it to me!"
Seeing that Dong Pingbo insisted, the eldest princess was afraid that the sound would be too loud to wake up her mother, so she finally turned around and quietly took out the very small private message from the innermost layer.
Dong Pingbo took the private message, quickly flipped through it, and then his old face quickly turned red.
It's really, insulting to Sven ......!
In fact, he insisted on reading this letter, in addition to seeing if his daughter had lied to him, more importantly, he wanted to judge Jia Baoyu's character through more news, so as to judge the gains and losses.
After reading it, Dong Pingbo frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up, walked to the candle that was still burning in the room, and stretched out his hand to burn the two secret letters in his hand.
The princess, who was originally buried her head and was so ashamed that she couldn't do it, saw this and hurriedly stopped it.
That letter, but the only thing he gave her, she cherished it after she got it, how could she bear to burn it?
Dong Pingbo scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense! How can such a thing leave evidence? But if you miss a moment, my Chen family will be wiped out, don't you understand? ”
The eldest princess weakly let go.
After burning the secret letter and driving even the ashes into the incense burner, Dong Pingbo suddenly stood up straight, his eyes were like torches, and said, "Then King Jing's guards are still in your mansion?" ”
The eldest princess buried her head: "It's still there." ”
"Tomorrow morning, you go back and tell that man, let him inform King Jing immediately, and order a feint attack on the north city tomorrow, and then I will let people open the southwest gate and lead the army into the city!"
Here Dong Pingbo put his mind into it.
Let the outside of the city feint to attack the northern city, which can attract troops to the city and make it smoother for him to open the city.
Second, it can be guaranteed that the person has successfully sent the news out of the city! Otherwise, if he had gone to great lengths to open the city, but there was no one outside it, would he not be miserable?
When the eldest princess saw that her father had promised to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, she was overjoyed, and immediately nodded, keeping her father's words firmly in her heart.
"Remember, you only dictate and you must not write down any evidence. After telling the man, he was immediately sent out of the house in secret! ”
Although some are not heroic enough, but their lives are at stake, so he can't be cautious.
As long as there is no evidence, even if it is revealed, he still has time to quibble, and maybe he can wait for life.
He had a hunch that the second prince was approaching.
