Chapter 62: Be Honest
Almost all the people in the Meng Mansion knew Shen An, and when they saw Shen An coming, someone led him to a hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the hall, Meng Qingran and Jiang Yingjie were discussing something, and the two knew each other, Shen An was not surprised at all, after all, he could see one or two at the poetry meeting.
"Zhongping is here, come, sit." Jiang Yingjie looked up and saw Shen An arrive, revealing a look of joy.
Shen An didn't shirk either, and found a place to sit next to the two.
"Hehe, what does Your Highness think?" Meng Qingran touched his beard and looked at Jiang Yingjie with a smile on his face.
Yingjie thinks this matter is very good, but he still has to ask Zhongping's opinion. Jiang Yingjie looked at Shen An.
"Well, there's something I need to ask for my opinion." Shen An was puzzled.
"Hehe, Zhongping Xiaoyou is smart, and he already knows His Highness's identity, but he doesn't know why His Highness came to Jiangnan, right?" Meng Qingran said with a smile.
Shen An really didn't know this, and he didn't plan to figure it out, but Meng Qingran didn't give Shen An room to think at all, and said it again.
"In fact, this matter involves a wide range of issues, and the situation in Beijing Zhongping Xiaoyou should not be clear, simply put, this matter is related to the dispute between the royal family." Meng Qingran stopped abruptly when he said this, he couldn't say too much about this matter, but he believed that with Shen An's intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand this matter.
Sure enough, Shen Anzhong had already guessed about it, and he had learned from some rumors in the court that the current emperor only favored two sons, one was the crown prince of the dynasty, and the other was the fourth prince. The six princes ranked by Jiang Yingjie belong to the kind of people who are not welcomed.
And now that His Majesty has appointed Jiang Yingjie as the King of Pingwei, is it true that the emperor has begun to pay attention to Jiang Yingjie again?
"Also, Zhongping Xiaoyou, do you know how this position of King Ping came about?" Meng Qingran paused and smiled mysteriously, "It was the old man who reported Zhongping Xiaoyou's suggestion to the imperial court, Zhongping Xiaoyou rest assured, I didn't say that you came up with this plan, but the old man knew that you were familiar with His Highness, so he informed His Highness of the matter, Zhongping Xiaoyou shouldn't blame the old man." ”
Shen An couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that this Mrs. Meng has already seen everything in his eyes.
"Zhong Ping, Tai Fu already knew that you and I knew each other, so he told me that Zhong Ping should not be surprised." Jiang Yingjie smiled.
"And what is it that needs my opinion?" Shen An asked, and Shen An felt a little wrong.
"Dissatisfied with Zhong Ping, I want to ask Zhong Ping to accompany me, go with me to defend against the Japanese and defend my big ginger!" Jiang Yingjie suddenly said solemnly.
Shen Anxin sighed, secretly saying that it was not good, it was okay to do business, but he couldn't do the job of fighting, and he didn't want to do it.
"This, Yingjie also knows, now I am a big family, although things are almost handed over to those shopkeepers to take care of, but in fact, everything I am watching, if I leave, they will inevitably mess up. Besides, I don't know how to fight, so if you learn Western or something, then it's okay, I will know everything. Although Shen An was making excuses, a lot of what he said was also true, although he let Li Mingzhu and them do it in terms of business, he had to see many of the details in person.
If he leaves the base camp of Lin'an, once there is anything in the business, it will take some time for Li Mingzhu to find him. And it's hard to say that there is a war, it's high-risk. To be honest, Shen An is really a little afraid of death now.
"Then it seems that Zhongping is unwilling, alas." Jiang Yingjie was slightly disappointed and drank a glass of wine alone, "This matter is indeed a little embarrassing, but I, Jiang Yingjie, will definitely go for the sake of my big Jiang and the displaced people outside the city." ”
The outcasts outside the city have settled down, but this is not a long-term solution after all, and they will return sooner or later where they came from, but they must first get rid of the Japanese robbers to prevent them from making trouble again.
"Alas, it's really too much to do but not enough to do it, and this matter has disappointed you." Shen An was slightly apologetic, after all, Jiang Yingjie should have high hopes for him.
The matter of appointing the king of Pingwa as the commander of the coastal area was also quickly spread throughout the coastal area, and the people were jubilant for a while, and the imperial court was finally going to really take action against the Japanese.
"I'll go to Taizhou in a few days, there is a big hidden danger of the Japanese in Taizhou, and there are always a few bandits making trouble there recently, so I plan to start from that side first. Zhongping can also think about it these days, and if you think about it clearly, you can inform me at any time. Jiang Yingjie wouldn't give up so easily, looking at Shen An, he smiled.
Shen An nodded, he had already thought it through and would not go. Leave it to the army to do such things as wars, although he also hated them very much.
During the banquet, the food was served, and then under Meng Qingran's greeting, the three of them moved their chopsticks together and began to eat.
After eating, they talked for a while before Shen An left.
After sending Shen An away, Meng Qingran asked Jiang Yingjie with a smile: "Is Your Highness very disappointed?" ”
"It's not a disappointment, this kind of thing itself is a bit reluctant, and presumably Zhongping doesn't like to fight, but I'm a little abrupt today, I hope Zhongping can understand me." Jiang shook his head and replied.
"Needless to say, Zhongping Xiaoyou's talent and learning, and the previous strategy can also see that Zhongping Xiaoyou is very capable, speaking of which, I heard that His Majesty appointed His Royal Highness as the King of Pingwei and was a little surprised. It seems that His Majesty has a deep meaning in letting His Highness come to this land south of the Yangtze River this time, so I said that Your Majesty still has His Highness in his heart. Meng Qingran touched his beard, after all, he had been with the emperor for so many years, and he still knew something about this emperor.
Jiang Yingjie also sighed, with mixed feelings: "I didn't expect my father to entrust me with important tasks, but since my father believes in me so much, then I can't let my father down." ”
Jiang Yingjie was also full of emotion in his heart, the situation in Beijing was very complicated before, when Meng Qingran dedicated that strategy to the emperor, the ministers of the court and the central government, but all those who were a little ambitious, asked for help, and even the prince was eager to try. But what people didn't expect was that His Majesty directly ignored the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and appointed Jiang Yingjie, the prince who was not very favored before.
And in this way, the crown prince and the fourth prince will inevitably face Jiang Yingjie again, and they will even do it to him before he grows up, but fortunately, the emperor sent a team of black armor guards to call him.
In fact, he also regretted a little in his heart that he had just said that Shen An would accompany him, because in this way, Shen An would be equivalent to standing in his camp, and if he made a slight mistake, he would never recover. So after Shen An refused, he felt a lot more at ease.
"Well, Your Majesty has entrusted His Highness with a heavy responsibility, and it seems that he has already begun to cultivate His Highness. In this way, Yingwu's princelings and Yingzong's four emperors' party are afraid that they will also start to deal with His Highness, His Highness's side is the need for a resourceful talent like Zhongping Xiaoyou at this moment, but Zhongping Xiaoyou's mood is weak, and things like glory and wealth can't keep him, only ...... Treat each other with sincerity......" Meng Qingran's voice was very soft, as if he was reminding and talking to himself.
"Yingjie is taught......" Jiang Yingjie's face was straight, and he bowed to Meng Qingran.
