In May of the twenty-fourth year of Wuwei, the emperor gave the lord of Jingjiang as the princess, and gave the marriage to Qin Qing, the son of Qin Yizi, the general of Fuyuan, or said, the power of the king.

-- "The Legend of the Yongshi and the King of Yong"

On the way back, King Yong said with a calm face: "Suiyun, don't worry, I will definitely kill Lu Jingzhong for you in the future." ”

I smiled faintly and said: "Why is His Royal Highness angry, he should be happy, Lu Jingzhong is good at attacking and neglecting self-preservation, he gives advice for the prince, although it is one step and three strategies, but it is difficult for three strategies to become one strategy, isn't this a good thing, besides, under the nest, there are no eggs, this person is not careful, the minister cares about Li Hanyou, this woman's mind is really outstanding, every move can affect people's hearts, this victory is her, Qin Qing is afraid that she will not be able to escape from her palm, it is His Royal Highness, isn't it almost tempting." ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but say in amazement: "Suiyun said and laughed." ”

My expression remained unchanged, and said: "This woman is not only the senior brother of Fengyimen, but also the noble daughter of the clan, it is rare that she is scheming and not exposed, and her demeanor is not arrogant, and it is reasonable for Qin Qing to empathize with her, I think if it weren't for General Qin's excuse to refuse, I'm afraid that this matter would have been done a long time ago, Your Highness should be careful of her, if she marries Qin Qing, her status will become more and more noble, and she is afraid that the person who will hinder His Highness's great cause in the future is this woman." ”

Li Zhen said worriedly: "If Qin Qing really marries her, then I'm afraid that something is wrong, although General Qin is fair and strict, but if the marriage really happens, then ......" Li Zhen didn't continue, but I already knew the unfinished meaning, waved his hand and said: "Your Highness rest assured, although Qin Qing is the eldest son of the general, but he can't effectively influence the general, although the relationship between father and son can be subtle, but for the sake of the family, the general will definitely not be embarrassed with His Highness, and Qin Yong is a confidant of the general, if this person can be co-opted." , Your Highness will be free to worry. ”

Li Zhen said: "Qin Yong is loyal to the general, how can he win him over? ”

I smiled and said: "Leave this matter to the minister, if His Highness recruits it now, it will make the prince and the general dissatisfied, and the minister has a way to let him serve His Highness unknowingly." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said: "This matter is handed over to you, there is one more thing, this splendid alliance is so arrogant, my father will definitely send generals to suppress it, this king wants to recommend Changsun Ji, he is shrewd and capable, strong in martial arts, is the first choice, what do you think?" ”

I said: "Your Highness, if General Changsun goes to do this, he will find some evidence related to the prince, but I am afraid that he will also be suspicious, if the minister is not bad, the prince will also recommend King Qi to do this matter, after all, His Royal Highness the prince has no generals who can fight well." ”

Li Zhen said: "If this is the case, wouldn't you not get any evidence." ”

I smiled and said: "Actually, the prince and His Royal Highness are too anxious, the Splendid Alliance sneak attack on military funds, this is just a small rebellion, if it weren't for the prince's weak heart, how could he rush to send people to encircle and suppress, His Royal Highness didn't have to take the initiative to solicit this matter, and now what the prince did has not been exposed, if His Royal Highness exposes this matter, it will inevitably make the emperor suspect His Royal Highness's motives." The crown prince recommended King Qi to do this matter is to cover up, Cui Yang's death has alarmed the government and the opposition, and the affairs of the household department are about to be released, if the prince recommends King Qi, His Royal Highness may as well say that such a trivial matter does not need a general, just let Qin Qing go, if Qin Qing has made a meritorious service, it is natural for the emperor to give marriage. Presumably, the emperor will also think that the neutral Qin family is more suitable. I don't think the emperor will refuse this candidate. ”

Li Zhen's eyes flashed, and he said: "And you can also separate the Qin family and Fengyimen, if Fengyimen insists on obstructing it, this marriage will naturally be absolutely unsuccessful." ”

I smiled and said: "No matter what the result is, it will not be beneficial to His Highness, to be honest, Chen Zhen didn't expect the Splendid Alliance to have such a means, although Huo Jicheng is a good surname, but he is a decisive person, no wonder the Splendid Alliance has not been able to completely suppress it so far." ”

Li Zhen sighed and said: "Suiyun, this king only feels that everything in this world is in your hands, fortunately you have saved this king after all, otherwise this king is really restless." ”

My face showed a gloomy look, and Li Zhen was shocked: "What's wrong with Suiyun, could it be that this king said something wrong." ”

I smiled slightly, leaving behind the sorrow in my heart, thinking that although I have a stubborn illness, but as long as I recuperate in peace, I may not be able to live a long life, although this intrigue can only cause me to lose my life, but within a few years I will definitely be able to Baoyong King ascend to the throne, when the world is so big, can I not find a place to recuperate, "The lake is green, and the people of the past have gone by themselves." When I heard the singing, I didn't know where to go. I whispered. Li Zhen smiled and said: "Whose poem is this, how can you be so free." ”

I said casually: "This is what the minister saw in the book before, and I don't know who wrote it, Your Highness, presumably the emperor will summon His Royal Highness soon, Your Highness should go back and change your clothes and prepare, the minister promised to teach General Jing, don't let him go with you." ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, this king wants to see how Suiyun teaches this stubborn disciple to become a talent." ”

I also smiled and said, "If I let him compose a poem by himself, I don't know what reward His Highness will give to his ministers?" ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "This king can't think of it for a while, you don't like gold, silver and jewelry, you have read all the books and classics, if you want anything Suiyun, you might as well say it, this king can use it as a reward." ”

I said respectfully: "Your Highness is serious, but there is one thing, last time His Highness was furious because of the assassination of the minister, because the poisonous hand and evil heart was introduced by Jiang Nanchun, although His Royal Highness did not seize Jiang Nanchun, but ordered Jing Zhaoyin to strictly investigate, these days, Jiang Nanchun has not been peaceful, and the minister asked His Royal Highness to be merciful and forgive the minister's cousin." ”

Li Zhen immediately remembered this incident, when he said that he was furious, if it wasn't for Guan Xiu to remind Jing Shunqing that Jiang Zhe is Jiang Zhe's cousin, he was afraid that Jiang Nanchun would be confiscated, but due to this, Jiang Nanchun spent this time as if he was like a year, and later Jiang Zhe kept his surname, but Li Zhen forgot about this matter. At this time, Jiang Zhe mentioned it, Li Zhen couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This king is too busy to forget, in fact, I have already checked, so my cousin was not involved in the assassination, so this king will send someone to inform Jing Zhaoyin." This is not a reward, so if you can teach Jing Chi to compose poetry, this king will reward you with this. As he spoke, he took off a piece of jade from his waist and played with it in his hand.

I know that this jade pendant is a gift from the emperor, and it is the top grade of jade, not to mention a thousand gold, which is also an extremely valuable bet. Then he smiled and said: "The minister also knew for a while, and originally the minister also wanted his cousin to learn a lesson and let him know the word 'cautious', but two days ago my virtuous brother and daughter-in-law came to cry and complain, she was a weak woman who left her hometown is already very pitiful, and now she is showing her head in front of her to plead, I can't help but give her face." ”

Seeing me smiling, Li Zhen said: "If you lose with Suiyun, what do you want to bet on?" ”

I thought for a while and said, "The minister has received a lot of rewards from His Royal Highness, and if he can't take out anything special, it seems to be insincere. As I spoke, I pointed to the jade belt around my waist.

Li Zhen looked at it suspiciously, although this jade belt looks good, but it is just a clothing belt decorated with some mutton fat jade belt plates, although it is gorgeous, but there is neither fine carving, nor is it a high-grade jade, how can it be worth making a bet. But of course, he didn't care, so he said: "That's fine, just bet on your jade belt." ”

I smiled slightly, there is no need to tell Li Zhen now, this jade belt was designed by me recently, and it was just retrieved by Xiao Shunzi two days ago. There is a mechanism designed inside, which can shoot a poison needle with high poison three times in a row, which is prepared to protect myself, if another assassin comes to my side, I still have a chance to fight back, how precious is this jade belt, besides, it is still "specially made by Tianji Pavilion".

As soon as we walked to the door, we saw a royal guard running from Pegasus in the distance, he held an edict in his hand, and when he saw His Royal Highness, he dismounted and bowed down, and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace." ”

Li Zhen hurriedly said: "Enter the palace immediately after the king changes his clothes." ”

The guard stood up and stepped back, saying, "Yes." ”

I, an idler, returned to the cold garden, followed by me in addition to Xiao Shunzi and a reluctant Jing Chi, he finally escaped from the headache of the wine order, eager to find a place to practice a few times of boxing and kicking, to move his muscles and bones, but unexpectedly I was summoned into the cold garden.

Jing Chi looked at Jiang Zhe's back depressedly, and once again cried out in his heart, this weak scholar actually got His Royal Highness's order to restrain himself, he usually said that he didn't like these literati who wrote poems and endowed them, although His Royal Highness King Yong had many ministers, but most of them were strategists who were good at military strategy, these people Jing Chi respected ghosts and gods and stayed away, but this scholar had never seen him give advice, he hid in the cold garden all day long, and he was out of breath as if he was going to die after walking a few more steps, but King Yong really trusted him, Let yourself and others do his bidding. Jiang Zhe sent him to do that inexplicable thing last night, and Jing Chi is still a little confused.

Follow-up Hanyuan, although he followed King Yong out, but the guards who protected Jiang Zhe also went, they skillfully and quickly occupied the key place, and Hanyuan soon became an impregnable fortress, Jing Chi pursed his lips, and said in his heart, this person was really bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for thousands of years. At this time, Jing Chi suddenly felt a chill on his body, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes that were as cold as ice and snow, it was Xiao Shunzi who saw his expression and warned him with his gaze. Jing Chi's heart sank, he admired Xiao Shunzi's martial arts very much, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Back in the living room, I summoned Jing Chi, picked up a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, put it on the bookcase, and said lightly: "If you can memorize this book, I will let you out." Jing Chi looked at the thin book dumbfounded, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

I smiled and said, "I'm not in good health, I can't teach you today, from tomorrow, I will teach you half an hour every day, and the rest of the time, you have to copy what I taught you, I know you know a few words, by the way, you can recite and copy in the room next to you, and Xiao Shunzi will supervise you." Okay, you go and move your luggage to the cold garden. ”

Jing Chi was shocked and was about to refuse, but he saw a resolute light in the eyes of the weak scholar, and involuntarily said, "Yes, my lord." ”

After Jing Chi left, Xiao Shunzi asked dissatisfiedly: "Why should Gongzi bother with this kind of rough person, it is better to recuperate more." ”

I said lightly: "Look at this person's face and surname, he is the most loyal and straightforward, decisive and brave, if he can learn some military law, His Royal Highness has one more loyal general, this person is the most affectionate, I can also get a guarantee in the future, why not, you order to go down, the secret camp should send someone close to Qin Yong, it is best to get Qin Yong's trust, Hua Liu, Green Ear are all selected from the hidden group, let Chen Zhi choose one to do this." The Splendid Alliance will make a big fuss, and we should stop it, how the other people arrange, you can consider it, but at least half of the people in the secret camp should be left for me to use, and the other half will arrange for them to hide in the people, and we will still need them in the future. ”

Xiao Shunzi nodded silently and said: "I'll do it tonight, we have already prepared, it won't be very troublesome, Childe, Li An and Lu Jingzhong are too rude, if it weren't for Childe's big business, I would have taken their surnames a long time ago." ”

I said lightly: "In the future, their surnames will definitely be taken by you." ”

That night, I learned that after the imperial debate, sure enough, Qin Qing was appointed to exterminate the Splendid Alliance, although the prince strongly supported the King of Qi to go out, but King Yong was reasonable, a small Splendid Alliance, of course, there is no need for a prince to exterminate, and Qin Qing's candidate is very in line with the emperor's wishes. After King Yong came back, he told me that he had found that the crown prince and the king of Qi had sent people out privately, and as for whether Fengyimen had sent people, King Yong didn't know for the time being, but he wanted to know that they would not be idle.

Then I was busy training that stupid apprentice, although he was drowsy when he saw the book, but it would not be more stubborn than Lu Can back then, so I also talked about the book, while talking about some examples to guide his interest, although Jing Chi began to listen to it very boring, but soon was interested, although he did not understand military law, but he fought in the army all the year round, and soon he asked me according to his own experience, so a question and an answer, teaching and learning, after two or three days, Jing Chi was already listening with great interest, Every morning outside waiting for me to get up, in the afternoon I forced him to copy the book, he actually persevered, although I saw those ink-drenched manuscripts made me cry and laugh, but I finally talked about Sun Tzu's Art of War in half a month, but it may be because of the surname, he never understood this article, I don't force it, Sun Tzu's Art of War is broad and profound, even I dare not say that I am proficient in all of them, not to mention this person, I remembered that when I told Lu Can about Sun Tzu's Art of War, he asked a ten, very smart, It's just that he is a little stubborn, probably because he was born in a family, when I talk about the chapter of Nine Changes, he always has some doubts, and although he is a military strategy, it is a pity that he knows too little about the sinister human heart.

This day, I ordered Jing Chi to write the whole book silently, watching his sweaty writing, I regretted again letting him write on my bookcase, that's it, out of sight and out of mind, I lay on the soft couch with my eyes closed, and gradually fell asleep. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and I opened my eyes suddenly, only to see Li Zhen walking in with anger.

I smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Shunzi, serve tea to His Highness, let His Highness dissipate his anger, what's the big deal, let His Highness be like this?" ”

As soon as Li Zhen saw Jiang Zhe, the anger in his chest gradually subsided somehow, and then he saw Jing Chi who was stunned there, there were still ink stains on his face, and the bookcase was also a mess, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud. sat down, took the fragrant tea handed by Xiao Shunzi, and after drinking it, the last trace of anger disappeared. Jing Chi hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and I smiled: "You are not allowed to be lazy, go to the next door to write, if you peek at the book, don't blame me for punishing you for copying the book to the end of the head." ”

Jing Chi hurriedly swore that he would not peek, he would not forget the last time I took his exam, he peeked at the book, and I punished him for copying Sun Tzu's Art of War ten times, and he didn't sleep all night that night.

After Jing Chi went out, I said lightly, "What happened?" ”

Li Zhen said coldly: "Qin Qing is really talented, the Splendid Alliance is greedy for merit, he has been harassed many times, he was deliberately indulged by Qin Qing, and then he was captured, although he escaped some remnants, but it is no longer a big climate, but unfortunately Huo Jicheng still escaped, although this is a bit of a fly in the ointment, but it is also reasonable." The rebels of the captured Splendid Alliance all confessed to colluding with the household officials to smuggle, Qin Qing was honest and fair, all of them took confessions, and sent them to the emperor together with the witnesses, but these are only circumstantial evidence, because no one can testify against the prince and Cui Yang, after all, Huo Jicheng fled, so the prince pushed it clearly in front of his father, saying that it was the household officials who were up and down, and Cui Yang was ordered by him to verify the smuggling rumors, but was assassinated by the Splendid League, and the father finally only let him introspect behind closed doors, and Liang Jinqian, the secretary of the household department, was originally going to be dismissed, But he was persuaded by Wei Xiang to let Liang Jinqian temporarily wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, and these were all repaid, and his father then ordered the marriage of Qin Qing and Li Hanyou. ”

I asked: "It is no longer the emperor's favoritism to the prince, Your Highness does not have to worry, now I am afraid that people with lofty ideals in the world have already known the true face of the prince, and this has already achieved the goal." But why did Li Hanyou and Qin Qing's marriage happen so quickly, didn't the general object? ”

Li Zhen sighed and said: "Li Hanyou originally followed Qin Qing to quell the rebellion in private, and saved Qin Qing's surname from the assassins of the Splendid Alliance, the two of them went in and out together, even if the general wanted to stop it, how could the reputation of the clan lord be disgraced, and his father also specially named Li Hanyou as the princess of Jingjiang, and Qin Qing is now the captain of the concubine." ”

I sighed and said, "Didn't Your Highness have been prepared for this matter, why are you so angry?" ”

Li Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "Father and Emperor issued an order to give Princess Changle to marry Wei Ying. ”

My hand shook, the folding fan in my hand fell into the dust, and after a while, I leaned over and picked up the folding fan and said: "This is not a big deal, the emperor wants to choose a son-in-law for the princess, His Royal Highness has already heard about it, Wei Ying's character and talent are extraordinary, and it is even more rare that the surname is peaceful and neutral, isn't His Royal Highness also optimistic about their marriage?" ”

Li Zhen said bitterly: "Suiyun, don't you really know the imperial sister's intentions, why did she take your poems day and night, what is the reason why she will give you a thousand years of rare Xuanshen to extend your life, the princess took Roulan to see her, why does she love her as herself, are you really so puzzled about the amorous feelings, do you know that the imperial sister heard that her father gave her marriage, and she actually cut her long hair, and wanted to become a nun, which caused her father to be angry, and her father asked her, as long as she opened her mouth, no matter who could be called as a concubine, but Changle didn't say a word, Now that he is under house arrest by his father in the harem, Suiyun, if you have a heart, this king has done everything to take you into the palace to propose, are you willing? ”
