Chapter 538: The New Emperor's Temptation
Dugu Chiyan replied lightly, "The emperor should discuss this matter with the third prince." ”
The emperor looked at Dugu Chiyan and continued with a sincere face, "I still want to hear the opinion of King Xian. ”
If it weren't for Ji Ruhuan's early warning of the new emperor, and hearing him ask like this, she probably would really think that the new emperor was interested in the opinion of the Nine Emperor Uncles. 、
But after being on guard against the new emperor in his heart, after thinking about it again, this is a proper temptation, and it is obvious that the emperor wants to test their attitude towards the three princes.
Of course, Dugu Chiyan also understood in his heart, so he only responded lightly, "For such a major matter, Your Majesty should not just ask my opinion, but should discuss it with the courtiers tomorrow morning." ”
Seeing that King Xian Dugu Chiyan was talking without leakage, and he didn't mean to express his position at all, the new emperor couldn't continue to ask, so he had to give up and answer, "I'd better discuss with the third brother first." ”
If you really want to take it to the court and say it, the meaning will be different, maybe in the eyes of everyone, it will become an obvious matter of seizing his younger brother's military power, and he doesn't want to have a reputation for suppressing his younger brother as soon as he ascends the throne.
Dugu Chiyan didn't open his mouth to respond, so the queen opened her mouth and beckoned them to have dinner first.
The first emperor just died, and it was said that it was a banquet for the two, but in fact, the preparation was relatively simple, all vegetarian food, but it was quite exquisite.
The cousin is no longer the cousin he once called, and the new emperor is no longer the original prince, Ji Ruhuan felt that such a banquet was very boring, and did not take the initiative to speak again, but quietly ate vegetarian food.
But apparently the emperor and the queen didn't really invite them over to dinner, and after a while, the emperor spoke again, "I heard that you went to see the one in the prison today?"
Ji Ruhuan knew that it was definitely impossible to hide this from the emperor, so she didn't plan to hide it, and said, "I just wanted to tell Your Majesty about this, the first queen may have something to do with the high priest and the Tianxuan Sect, and it is very likely that she has contact with the outside world, so we want to change the place for the first queen and supervise her, if she is still in contact with the outside forces, we can also find out in time." ”
The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, "You said she still has contact with the outside world?"
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and replied, "I guess it should be." ”
The emperor continued to ask, "Does she still have forces in the outside world? Do you know who they are? Can't you directly send troops to clear them?"
Ji Ruhuan replied helplessly, "If we were clear, we wouldn't have to be so troublesome." ”
The emperor was silent for a while before he spoke, "Why don't I send someone to strengthen the guard of the prison, after all, the prison is still safer than the outside." ”
At this time, Dugu Chiyan replied, "It's not safe, after all, we don't know who the first queen's person is, so we can't guard against it at all." ”
Hearing Dugu Chiyan's words, the emperor fell silent again, thought for a while, and then spoke, "Then I'll trouble you, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask." ”
After that, the queen asked about the relationship between the third prince and Ji Wanwan, and sighed, "When my father goes, their family affairs will definitely be delayed, but they have only wronged Wanwan, and this delay is afraid that it will be delayed at a very young age." ”
Ji Ruhuan responded, "This is also a helpless thing, but I asked Wanwan, and she didn't feel wronged." ”
The queen was surprised, "Oh, isn't Wanwan too ...... the third prince?"
Ji Ruhuan smiled and said, "How come, it is her blessing to be able to marry the third prince, she is too late to be happy, she is willing to wait three years before marrying the third prince." ”
When Ji Ruhuan spoke, she kept staring at the queen's cousin, although the queen's cousin concealed it well, Ji Ruhuan still clearly saw a flash of disappointment in her eyes.
So, the queen actually still wants to be dissatisfied with the third prince?
As soon as Ji Ruhuan thought about it, she understood what the emperor and queen were thinking.
was originally afraid of the three princes, but at this time, he wanted to take away the military power of the Royal Forest Army in the hands of the three princes, and of course he was worried that the third prince would marry the second lady of the Ji family and marry the Ji family.
After all, the prestige of the Ji family in Daming is not something that the emperor and queen can shake at will, and if the third prince marries the Ji family, it will make him even more jealous.
Ji Ruhuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, their Ji family was loyal to the Ming royal family, but they still couldn't escape the sentence 'high merit covers the master, causing people to be jealous'.
At the beginning, the third prince and Ji Wanwan's family affairs, Ji Ruhuan didn't agree very much, but Ji Wanwan actually wanted to marry the third prince, obviously Ji Wanwan in the previous life was likely to have feelings for the three princes, and she couldn't go to beat the mandarin ducks to break up the lover.
After a dinner, the temptations in and out of the words, all kinds of wit, Ji Ruhuan who ate this meal was a little indigestion.
Finally over, sitting in the carriage back, Ji Ruhuan only felt more tired than fighting, and the whole person leaned on the Nine Emperor Uncle on the side, and sighed, "Why did it become like this." ”
Dugu Chiyan only hugged Ji Ruhuan and patted Ji Ruhuan's back comfortingly.
At the beginning, he proposed to support the crown prince to restrain and suppress the four princes.
He didn't expect that there would be such a day, but the prince who they personally supported would begin to be jealous of them, and he didn't know how he would treat them in the future.
Now I can only comfort the person in my arms, "Don't worry, there is me." ”
If this true benevolent general takes revenge and wants to attack them, they can only pull him down and support one more.
The emperor saw it through in the end, and it seemed that he had thought of this layer a long time ago, and he also expected what kind of results it would lead to, so he left all the back roads that should have been left.
Ji Ruhuan's eyes were slightly closed and she leaned into Dugu Chiyan's arms, but she didn't sleep, but thought about things again.
Although her rebirth changed the pattern of the Ming Dynasty and lifted the crisis of the Ji family, she originally thought that everything was fine, but she didn't want them to rescue and support the new emperor with her own hands, but she began to doubt and jealous them, and once again put them in embarrassment, which is really heartbreaking.
She originally thought that when she solved the matter of Tianxuan Sect, she would start to prepare a plan to attack Da Liang, complete the obsession she had been thinking about in her heart, step on Da Liang, and avenge herself and her family in her previous life.
Now it seems that it is not so easy, waiting for the new emperor's throne to sit firmly, it is likely to find a way to cut their Ji family's military power, where will they let them attack Da Liang?
Dugu Chiyan seemed to understand the worry in Ji Ruhuan's heart, and opened his mouth to comfort, "Don't think about it, no matter how bad it is, we can still go to Western Xia, forget that I am the regent of Western Xia, or the real royal blood of Western Xia?"
Ji Ruhuan sighed, "But it is impossible for the Ji family to go to Western Xia with us, and my father will insist on guarding the Ming Dynasty." ”
