Chapter Ninety-Seven: Accidents Come to the North Again
Jiang Ao smiled: "It's really that the longer you go, the more unproductive you are, didn't Daddy say that you should be happy and angry at any time?" ”
Jiang Lige stuck out his tongue and said: "In front of Daddy, naturally how happy is it." ”
Jiang Ao was very useful, and said with a smile: "Okay, that stupid boy is probably going to be bored, go ahead." ”
Jiang Lige bowed solemnly and said goodbye: "Lige is gone." ”
Out of the study door, the white shadow was indeed not far away.
Jiang Lige rushed forward, jumped directly on his back, hugged his neck, and said angrily, "Why don't you go back to the room first?" ”
The weather is still a little hot in October, but the nights are already a little cool.
Chu Tianyi subconsciously hugged her legs, straightened her position, and then walked forward with his back.
The voice was very clear: "I want to wait for you together." ”
Jiang Lige put his head on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't wait in the future, I'm cold to you, it's me who feels distressed." ”
Chu Tianyi smiled lightly: "I am willing." ”
Jiang Lige was extremely useful, and sighed: "It's good to have Ah Yi." ”
Chu Tianyi said: "Lige, do you really like children?" ”
Jiang Lige felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, it seemed that Ah Yi was uncomfortable because of this again, Jiang Lige smiled: "I like Ah Yi the most, if there are children, I naturally like it, if not, I don't like it, besides, I don't like to have a little disturb our two-person world, how good is this." ”
Chu Tianyi's heart brightened a lot, just now he was thinking, what should he do if Lige likes children so much.
Jiang Lige comforted again: "Don't take Daddy's words to heart, I only like our children." ”
Chu Tianyi nodded.
Jiang Lige sighed: "Ah Yi, why are you so fragrant? Jiang Lige felt very strange, Chu Tianyi had always had a good smell on his body, like green bamboo, and like green grass.
Chu Tianyi smiled: "Do you like the song?" ”
Jiang Lige smiled: "Naturally, I like it." ”
Chu Tianyi smiled: "It's good to like it." ”
The crisis seems to have passed for the time being.
However, another accident was unexpected.
In the imperial study, Emperor Jianwen's face was very bad.
Looking at the black-clothed man in front of him, "What did you say?" Has the regent of Beifeng returned to Beifeng? ”
The man in black said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Jianwen smashed his fist on the bookcase, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! I can almost stand up to Jiang Ao. ”
Realizing his gaffe, he continued, "When did he come back?" ”
The man in black said: "I just got the news and spread it to the capital, and now ten days have passed." ”
Emperor Jianwen said again: "Can there be other actions after I go back?" ”
The man in black said respectfully, "I haven't heard of it. ”
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Emperor Jianwen's eyes, and he said after a while: "Continue to explore." ”
The man in black said: "Yes." ”
The next day, Emperor Jianwen said this in the early court, and Jiang Ao and Jiang Lige already knew about it before they came, but they were not surprised.
And a heavy minister exploded the pot.
After arguing for a long time, Zhao Shangshu spoke first: "Your Majesty, the regent of Beifeng has returned, and Beifeng will regain its strength, which is not good for our Nanchu, we should send an envoy to Beifeng to express to the regent our sincerity of peaceful coexistence." ”
Lu Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately stepped forward and objected: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that it is right to increase the number of troops at the border pass, first, the regent of Beifeng has just returned to Beifeng, everything still needs to be rectified, and there is no time to take care of Nanchu, at this time, the increase of troops at the border pass can deter one or two, and secondly, even when the regent was in power a few years ago, the strength of Nanchu and Beifeng was equal, and now that the regent has returned, the worst result is only that Beifeng catches up with our Nanchu again." Therefore, Weichen thinks that we only need to quietly increase troops at the border pass to prevent the comeback of Beifeng. ”
Lu Shangshu still had a trace of fatigue on his face, probably because he was worried about Lu Yuanyuan.
Zhao Shangshu immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's impossible. Not to mention that Nanchu has just experienced a war, and now the treasury is empty, and the border tribes are eyeing each other, just say that this is a quiet use of troops, doesn't it make Beifeng think that we are going to use troops against them, so in the end, it will be self-defeating. ”
Lu Shangshu was still a little angry in his heart at this time, Lu Yuanyuan killed Zhao Cheng, the son of the Zhao family, it was true, but if he didn't have the calculation of Zhao Yong's old horseman, Lu Shangshu would not believe it.
So the two of them have been vomiting for a few days.
Lu Shangshu did not show weakness, and asked rhetorically: "According to Zhao Shangshu's statement, taking the initiative to show weakness, isn't it telling Beifeng that our Southern Chu is very afraid of the regent?" This doesn't make the world laugh at it! ”
Zhao Shangshu's teeth creaked, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How can this be a sign of weakness?" If you take the initiative to go, it not only shows that we Nanchu have a tolerant heart, but also shows Your Majesty's benevolence! ”
Lu Shangshu snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Zhao Shangshu is afraid that he is old, and he doesn't even have any backbone." ”
Zhao Shangshu was extremely angry, his face was red and his neck was thick, he pointed at Lu Shangshu with his index finger, and gasped: "You ......"
After talking about you a few times in a row, it is enough to see how angry you are.
Emperor Jianwen saw that the situation was not right, and immediately stopped: "The two Aiqing are reasonable, there is no need to argue. ”
Only then did the two return to normal, but they looked at each other and felt that their eyes were not eyes, and their noses were not noses.
Emperor Jianwen seemed to think with some distress, and only after a while did he look at Jiang Ao and said, "What is Jiang Aiqing's opinion?" ”
Jiang Ao walked out, took a step forward, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we can go to Beifeng by congratulating the return of the regent, and express our willingness to coexist peacefully, so that Beifeng will not think that Nan Chu is afraid of them, nor will Bei Feng suspect Nan Chu's intentions." ”
Emperor Jianwen nodded and said with appreciation: "This is a safe way. Instead, he worried: "Then who does Aiqing think is more appropriate?" ”
Jiang Ao said: "The second prince is suitable." ”
Emperor Jianwen agreed: "It's okay to be a prince, first, Jue'er is a prince with a valuable status, and second, the second princess is familiar with Beifeng." Looking at Chu Tianjue, he said, "Jue'er, what do you think?" ”
threw this problem to Chu Tianjue lightly.
Chu Tianjue said respectfully: "I am willing to share the burden for my father." ”
Emperor Jianwen was overjoyed in his heart, and said happily: "Okay, then go to the second princess, Nian just returned to sick leave two days ago, and you will take the second princess and concubine half a month later." ”
After Jiang Lige asked for leave to play, the second prince also took sick leave soon after, so Emperor Jianwen said this.
Lang said: "The second prince obeys orders. ”
Chu Tianjue shook his clothes, bowed his head and said, "Erchen obeys the order." ”
Emperor Jianwen said: "Chu Tian, the second prince of Feng, is the envoy of the Qin, and he will go to Beifeng to congratulate the regent on his return, and the two countries will set off in half a month." ”
Chu Tianjue said respectfully: "The son obeys the order. ”
Emperor Jianwen said again: "Huwei General Su Qiang obeys orders. ”
Su Qiang knew that he couldn't run, so he stepped forward and saluted, "The last will be." ”
Emperor Jianwen said: "I have appointed you as the deputy envoy and minister, and I will accompany you to protect the second prince." ”
Su Qiang said respectfully: "The last general obeys orders." ”
Emperor Jianwen smiled and said, "Okay, you all go down, and prepare well in this half month." ”
The ministers were also puzzled in their hearts, the emperor is going to reuse the second prince?
Chu Tianjue couldn't say what he felt in his heart, if this matter was done well, he would definitely be appreciated by his father, if it was not done well, it might cause disputes between the two countries, and as for him, he might not be able to come back, it can be said that half of this matter is a surprise, and the other half is a danger.
A few hints of unclear meaning flashed in the prince's eyes.
Emperor Jianwen said again: "Jue'er is leaving, but the things he has in hand need to be re-sent to do it." ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts became active, who didn't know that most of the household was in the hands of the second prince, which was a fat difference.
The fourth prince, Chu Tianxiao, was even more proud, the management of the household department already had a book, and if he wanted to pick up the second prince, he had to be a prince, who else was more suitable here besides him.
Chu Tian was resentful when he heard this, it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with him who takes over at this time, but he just can't get used to seeing the prince's party gain power.
Don't wait for everyone to answer. Emperor Jianwen suddenly said as if he remembered something: "I remember that the third prince can go to court, right?" ”
Li Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said: "Yes, the emperor, the sixteenth prince can go to the court to listen to the government." "In fact, this is only for the favored prince, who remembers the unfavored prince.
Emperor Jianwen nodded and said, "Since the third prince has reached the age, let him take the difference." The tone was flat, as if he was saying something inconsequential.
Everyone only felt confused when they heard this, what does the emperor mean by this? Could it be that the third prince is going to turn over? But listening to the emperor's tone, it doesn't look like it.
Li Shangshu objected: "Your Majesty, the third prince is not well appointed, but I am afraid that it will be bad." "He is the prince's father-in-law, so he naturally wants to help the prince's party.
Emperor Jianwen muttered: "That's the case. ”
When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Emperor Jianwen looked at Jiang Ao and said, "Jiang Aiqing, the third prince is now a member of your family, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Ao said respectfully: "The third prince is smart and studious, and he is worthy of this position. ”
The emperor has asked about this, what else can he say, can it be that your son is not good, you should choose someone else, right? After getting along for so many years, Jiang Ao didn't know that once the emperor asked him, he basically had an idea in his heart, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he may not be able to leave the song, and he only hopes that the emperor is really as affectionate and righteous as he was that day.
Emperor Jianwen said happily: "Okay, since Jiang Aiqing thinks it's okay, I will give that son a chance." ”
opened his mouth and closed his mouth, the second prince and the fourth prince settled down a lot, only the prince still frowned.
After the early court, Jiang Ao was summoned to the imperial study again.
What the emperor wanted to do, Jiang Ao knew very well in his heart.
But he still saluted respectfully and said: "Weichen see the emperor." ”
The emperor walked in front of Jiang Ao in three steps and two steps, helped the person up, and said with a pleasant face: "Brother Jiang, please get up quickly." ”
Jiang Ao said respectfully: "Thank you, Emperor." ”
Emperor Jianwen muttered, "Brother Jiang, do you know why I summoned you?" ”
Jiang Ao said: "Coming for the regent of Beifeng? ”
Emperor Jianwen said meaningfully: "Yes and no. ”
