"Niangniang means that His Majesty arranged this marriage with the intention of helping His Highness win over Xihuahou?" Zhang Bao seemed to have figured out something. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lord Liang nodded, but did not answer.

"What do you mean? This king doesn't seem to understand too much. Shi Shi looked at Zhang Bao and Lord Liang.

"Your Highness, if what the county lord said is true, then in Your Majesty's heart, you have already been made the crown prince! In other words, the matter of establishing a prince may be about to have a result, and this result may be that Your Highness is made the crown prince! ”

"Is that true?" When Shi Shi heard this, he came to the spirit.

"The minister just deduced from the county lord's guess, and he was not sure ......," Zhang Bao explained.

"Whether it's like I guess or not, Xin'er marries in the past, and there is no harm to you, Your Highness." Lord Liang said.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "County Lord, what are you doing here?" ”

"Why are you so loud? You scared me! "It's the voice of a young woman.

"Xin'er is outside?" Shi Shi immediately stood up.

Lord Liang was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't see her when I just came in." ”

"Xin'er! In! Shi Shichong shouted outside.

A moment later, a young and beautiful woman walked in, dressed in a pink dress, with long hair reaching to her waist, skin like jade, a graceful posture, and outstanding appearance.

The person who came was Shi Shi's eldest daughter: Lord Xin.

"Father!" Lord Xin shouted in a low voice.

"What are you doing out there? When adults speak, you eavesdrop on the windowsill unruly, what kind of system do you become? Shi Shizhi asked.

"Who eavesdropped? My daughter happened to be passing by, and when she heard you talking, she stopped. Lord Xin explained, then glanced at Lord Liang and asked Shi Shi: "Father, just now you said that the imperial grandfather is going to marry me to the son of Xihua Hou, is it true?" ”

Shi Shi looked at Zhang Bao and Lord Liang, they didn't expect that the conversation just now had been heard by this little girl.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about this, go back to your room." Shi Shi replied lightly.

"Don't! I don't want to marry! What is the son of Xihuahou! I've never seen it, what to marry! ”

"Presumptuous! Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, how can you speak! Get back! ”

"Father! If the son of Xihuahou is a lame, will his daughter also marry? Doesn't this push my daughter into the fire pit! My daughter is still young and doesn't want to get married so early! ”

"Lord Xin, the son of Xihuahou is not a cripple, in terms of martial arts, I am afraid that he is unparalleled in the world, and in terms of appearance, he is also a talent. Although he was born in a general, he is also polite and strategic. Otherwise, Your Majesty will not marry you to Prince Min, because in addition to you, the lord of Xinjun, I am afraid that there will be no one in the whole capital who can match the daughter of the Marquis of Xihua. Zhang Bao saw that the county lord of Xin disagreed, and hurriedly stood up to relieve the siege.

Lord Xinjun grew up in the courtyard of the deep palace since he was a child, and he has never seen much of the world, how can he hear how true Zhang Bao's words are, and seeing that Zhang Bao said that the Min Gongzi of Xihua Hou Mansion is so good, he can't help but be a little curious.

"Is this Min Gongzi so good?" Lord Xin asked.

"This Min Gongzi, Wu Ke opened up the territory, Wen Ke settled the country, and those who can be worthy of the Lord of Xin County are naturally the best among people!" Zhang Bao replied with a smile.

"Then I'll see you too, who knows if you're lying to the county lord?" Lord Xin pouted.

"Xin'er, don't mess around, this is what your imperial grandfather meant, how can you be allowed to mess around?" Shi Shi said.

"Father! Why are you like this? How can the daughter's life's event be so hasty! Lord Xin almost burst into tears, and suddenly saw Lord Liang sitting on the side, so he lost his temper at her and said, "It must be you, you bad woman!" Encourage my father to marry me off! Hello, do whatever you want in Yanwangfu! ”

"Xin'er! You are presumptuous! How to talk to your mother! Shi Shi stood up and scolded.

"She's not my mother! My mother is long dead! Lord Xin's tears immediately came out.

Suddenly, before Zhang Bao and Lord Liang could react, they heard a "snap", and Shi Shi gave Lord Xin a resounding slap.

Lord Xin was also stunned, and it took him a long time to react, and the crying pear blossom brought rain: "Father, you actually beat me!" ”

Shi Shi himself was stunned, since she was a child, Shi Shi had never touched her for half a minute, but today for some reason, she actually hit the pearl in her palm on impulse.

Lord Xin turned around and ran out of the front hall, wiping tears from his eyes as he ran, crying and shouting non-stop.

"Your Highness, a little child, why do you want to be angry with her?" Lord Liang said, stood up and wanted to go out.

Shi Shi immediately raised his hand to organize and said, "You don't have to go, just let her calm down." Didn't you hear those rude words she just said to you? It's all to blame for the fact that this king usually spoils her. ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Lord Xin is actually a little moved, but because of the woman's reserve, it's inconvenient to say it clearly." Zhang Bao comforted.

"How do you know?" Shi Shi was a little unconvinced.

Zhang Bao stroked his beard and smiled: "If the county lord is not interested in that Min Gongzi, why should he ask me if what I said is true or false?" You can laugh it off, Your Highness, the most important thing is not that Lord Xinjun agrees, but how to make Xihuahou and his son willing. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! However, the father has already said that this matter is not up to their father and son. ”

"Xiao Min, that kid, I think I'm going back to Yecheng soon, right?" Lord Liang asked.

"The newspaper has been delivered the day before yesterday, and it won't take ten days to get to Yecheng." Shi Shi replied.

"Your Highness, King Qing's army failed this time, this is a good time to seize King Qing's military power." Zhang Bao proposed on the side.

Shi Shi thought for a while and said: "You are right, Yunzhong was looted, and nearly half of his tens of thousands of horses were lost, and my father was very annoyed by this, as you said, this is indeed a good opportunity." ”

"Xia Guan thinks that this time is not only to weaken King Qing, but also to strengthen the power in the hands of His Royal Highness."

"How to strengthen the power of this king?"

"The son of the Marquis of Xihua went out to fight this time, and his performance was extraordinary, and it happened that His Majesty had the intention of giving marriage, and according to the officials, it was better for His Royal Highness to take the opportunity to encourage the ministers of civil and military affairs to write to His Majesty, and send Shi Min to control the military power of Yanmen Pass, so as to weaken the strength of King Qing in the area of Licheng. Once married to the Xihua Hou Mansion, the Xihua Hou father and son will not turn their elbows outward, so the most elite army of the Zhao State will be in the hands of His Royal Highness. ”

Shi Shi listened, nodded slightly, and said: "Your analysis is reasonable, but presumably Lao Jiu will definitely try his best to please his father, I don't know if our plan can be successfully achieved." ”

"King Qing naturally won't sit still, but the ministers who support His Highness are not dirty dogs, this time it depends on how we fight with King Qing's people."

"Lord Zhang, you quickly go and contact the ministers, even if you can't trip the Qingwang Mansion this time, at least you have to cut off one of his arms!"

"Xia Guan understands!" Zhang Bao nodded.

"Your Highness, you and Lord Zhang continue to discuss matters, and the concubine will not bother." Lord Liang said suddenly.

Shi Shi asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll go see Xin'er, the slap you just made should have scared her." Lord Liang replied lightly.

In fact, when Shi Shi waved his hand and beat Lord Xin, he regretted it a little in his heart, after all, this child lost his mother since he was a child, and Shi Shi owed her a lot of money in his heart, so he always loved her in every way, for fear that she would be wronged. Fortunately, the county lord of Liang is a woman who is quite knowledgeable, although this child does not give the county lord of Liang any good face on weekdays, but the county lord of Liang has never complained in front of Shi Shi, which is also where Shi Shi is pleased.

"Go, go, go." Shi Shi looked at the county lord of Liang, and said: "Haosheng comforts her, this child is spoiled by this king, if she says anything unbearable, don't worry about her." ”

"The concubine understands, Your Highness can rest assured!" After the lord finished speaking, he went out.

Zhang Bao got up and saluted, and watched the county lord of Liang leave.

"Your Highness, the lower officials have a way to make the father and son of Xihua Marquis willing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Zhang Bao said in a low voice.

"Huh? What's the solution? Shi Shi immediately asked.

"Your Majesty announced the marriage, it should not be decreed as soon as Shi Min returns, the lower officials feel that it is better for His Royal Highness to wait for him to come back, invite Shi Min to come to the mansion alone, and then ......" Zhang Bao leaned into Shi Shi's ear and muttered.

Shi Shi frowned as he listened, as if Zhang Bao's words made him a little embarrassed.

"No! Where does this put the face of this king? Shi Shi refused.

"Your Highness! Only by doing this can Xihuahou nod his head! Is it not clear to you what kind of person he is? He has always been high-minded, but if things develop to such a point, he will naturally have nothing to say! ”

Shi Shi walked around the house with his hands behind his back, thought for a long time, and said, "How sure are you?" ”

"According to Xiaguan's understanding of Xihuahou, this matter is nine points certain!" Zhang Bao said with an oath.

Shi Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Then do as you say!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Zhang Bao hurriedly flattered.
