Chapter 317: This is the Crown Princess
The crown princess fought for Ji Zhao an opportunity to release the vassal king, so that Ji Zhao could develop his strength outside, and then slowly figure it out, because he felt that the struggle between the three kings and Ji Qian would last for a long time, and would give him and Ji Zhao enough time to develop and grow themselves before participating in the struggle for the throne. For this, he paid a great price, in addition to having a bad relationship with Ji Qingchen, he also did not get along with the three kings. But the current situation made her a bolt from the blue, Ji Qian, who was allied with her, not only did not obtain the throne, but was also permanently imprisoned, no different from death, and Ji Qingchen, who was offended by her, is now powerful, and Ji Wen, who is not in harmony with her, has become the current son of Dayan.
Therefore, in the face of the current complicated situation of King's Landing, the crown princess suddenly ran out of ideas. His son Ji Qian has already gone to Suzhou, and his third uncle Wei Huang is also going with him, in order to assist his son Ji Zhao. Leaving her and her sister in King's Landing is to prepare to join forces with Ji Qian to fight for more benefits for Ji Zhao. But it was just an instant, so powerful that Ji Qian, who was so powerful that 30,000 people were afraid and could only join forces to deal with it, but Ji Qingchen disappeared after arriving in King's Landing.
Now in the face of Ji Wenhe, who has ascended the throne and is the emperor, and Ji Qingchen, the king of politics and politics, who is in power and opposition, the crown princess found that her wit was so weak, and it was not as small as Ji Qingchen's small step, no wonder Ji Qingchen would despise herself so much, there is a reason!
"Sister, what are you thinking?" Just when the crown princess was thinking like this in her heart, I don't know when Wei Ran had already walked in front of her and asked.
If you want to say who knows her best in this world, only her sister Wei Ran is her.
Therefore, in the face of her sister's inquiry, the crown princess did not hide it, and said in a worried tone, "We made the wrong bet this time, now Ji Qian is finished, we are Ji Qian's former allies, and we have sinned against Ji Qingchen, I don't know how he will rectify us in the future." ”
When the crown princess said this, she sighed slightly and said, "Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, is good to say, he is a person who misses the old love, at least he will not do anything to Zhao'er, but Guo Quan and Zhang Rang under him are not good people, we have teamed up with Ji Qian to deal with 'Iron Clothes' and 'Neichang', with the temperament of the two, now that they have turned over, they will definitely not let us go, I am afraid that these two people will be revengeful and hurt Zhao'er." ”
The princess is not unreasonable to worry about, with the ruthlessness of Guo Quan and Zhang Rang, they will not let go of the secret guards of the crown princess and the Wei family, and if they can solve Ji Zhao in the process, the two of them will not be soft. Because they know that Ji Qingchen is not a soft-hearted person, he is just too lazy to worry about the crown princess and Ji Zhao, if they solve Ji Zhao, he will not blame the two.
And the crown princess just understood Ji Qingchen's thoughts, and knew Guo Quan's and Zhang Rang's thoughts, so she was so worried.
"Is there anything my sister can do?" Wei Ran asked.
Since experiencing this incident of Ji Wen's accession to the throne, Wei Ran seems to have grown up all of a sudden, and he has become much calmer. When he spoke, his brutal tone was much more restrained, and his arrogant and lonely personality was also much more restrained.
"What can my sister do?" The crown princess asked Wei Ran. Because she didn't have any good plans in her heart, she would be so worried that she would ask her sister like this.
"Do you want to talk to Ji Qingchen?" Wei Ran suggested in a low voice. Because she knew what it would mean for her to say this, it meant that Wei had to compromise with Ji Qingchen, this kind of unequal talk was actually a compromise that would be paid and reciprocated, with Ji Qingchen's strength today, with Wei's wealth, as long as she talked to Ji Qingchen, Wei was destined to pay a heavy price for it.
"How? What other use value do we have that he should talk to us about? The crown princess asked.
"Sister, no matter what you and Zhao'er do, Shangzhou Wei will support you." Wei Ran said, "Therefore, when we talk to Ji Qingchen this time, we are not representing Zhao'er, but as the Wei clan of Shangzhou." ”
The crown princess didn't get angry when she heard Wei Ran's words, because with Ji Zhao's current identity was not enough to be qualified to talk to Ji Qingchen, and with Ji Qingchen's current identity, only the weight of the Shangzhou Wei clan was worthy of him to sit down and talk to them.
"Okay!" The crown princess was silent for a moment, but agreed to Wei Ran's proposal for the sake of her son.
"I wonder when Lu Dao is going to talk to him?" The crown princess asked. Since she talked to Ji Qingchen as Shangzhou Wei, and now that Wei Ran was in charge of all the affairs of Shangzhou Wei's in King's Landing, it was necessary for her to consult Wei Ran about this matter.
"To prevent long nights and dreams, now! We're going to see him now—" Wei Ran said decisively, his eyes fixed on the crown princess's face. The crown princess also knows what Wei Ran would say for Lu, with Ji Qingchen's current power, it is estimated that the threshold of his mansion has been stepped on, if his own side is still estimated to be reserved now, and if he doesn't think about Ji Qingchen to show his heart earlier, it is estimated that tomorrow's court meeting will not know what will happen to Lu Dao.
Therefore, she nodded slightly, and said to Wei Ran, "Then let's go now!" Wei Ran nodded, the two sisters cleaned up, and left the East Palace in a hurry.
And just as the crown princess guessed, now the threshold of Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Mansion has indeed been stepped on. Because Ji Wen ascended the throne and became emperor this time, everyone knew that it was Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, who contributed to it, and Ji Wen's reward for Ji Qingchen also showed Ji Wen's attitude towards Ji Qingchen, that is, he was willing to co-govern with Ji Qingchen. Therefore, the ministers smelled the smell, they couldn't flatter the new monarch, so they could only run to Ji Qingchen to be loyal.
The first to come was Guo Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who used to be Ji Ping's person, and now when he saw that Ji Ping's general trend had gone, he immediately fell to Ji Wen, and he was the first to come to the Northern Liao Palace's mansion early after the next dynasty. As for the second person, it is estimated that no one can imagine who he is, he is Cha Shenxing, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and once Ji Qingchen's great enemy, but because of Ji Qian's fall, he is now very worried, afraid that Ji Qingchen will find him to settle old accounts, so he will come to see Ji Qingchen early. The third person is Xue Ju, the general who gave Liu Pingyuan advice and analyzed Ji Qingchen's move to make Ji Wen ascend the throne and become emperor this time, in order to show loyalty to Ji Qingchen, the third went to Ji Qingchen's mansion.
There were a lot of people who followed, including the six squires and other officials, as well as the chief officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.
It's just that everyone came to the Northern Liao King's Mansion, although the Northern Liao King did not turn them away, and let them enter the mansion and let them drink tea in the living room, but looking at the Northern Liao King's posture, it seems that he didn't mean to see them.
This made everyone drinking tea in the living room uneasy.
Tomorrow will be the first court meeting after the new monarch ascended the throne, and every move at the court meeting will be related to the interests of the ministers, political careers, etc. If you can't see the King of Northern Liao tonight and be sure that you will be safe and sound tomorrow, how can you sleep?
Therefore, even if everyone was very nervous and anxious, Ji Qingchen had no intention of letting them leave, and they didn't dare to leave, and they were even more reluctant to leave, so they could only hold back the nervousness in their hearts and stay in the living room to continue drinking tea.
In fact, they misunderstood Ji Qingchen, because in order to appease people's hearts, no matter who came to see Ji Qingchen tonight, he was ready to meet him, but it was because of the sudden visit of the crown princess and Wei Ran that he did not appear in front of everyone for a long time.
At this moment, Ji Qingchen was talking to the crown princess and Wei Ran in the study, but judging from the atmosphere in the study, the three of them were not chatting very harmoniously, and the atmosphere was a bit sluggish.
I heard Wei Ran say with a little indignation, "Your Highness the Nine, has your request been a little too much?" ”
"Who do you think is more important than people or money?" Ji Qingchen asked with a smile, he looked at Wei Ran a little jokingly now.
"Hmph, you're taking advantage of the fire!" Wei Ran snorted coldly, at this time, her face was already pale, if it weren't for the estimation of Ji Qingchen's power, it is estimated that it would have exploded.
"Whatever you think! However, this king still said this, let go of Wei's family, let Ji Zhao go, and hand over half of Wei's property. Ji Qingchen said without backing down, "Now that Dayan is being attacked on three sides, your Wei clan, as one of the seven great families of Dayan, should make this contribution to Dayan." Of course, this is just the king's suggestion, as for what you should do, think for yourself! ”
Speaking of this, Ji Qingchen, who had never been very friendly, didn't care about what Wei Ran wanted to say, and left the study directly. He was going to meet the people drinking tea in the living room, and he had already delayed the princess and Wei Ran in the study for two hours. And the crown princess and Wei Ran, who were still in the study, looked at Ji Qingchen's figure leaving, and were silent for a while. Only after half a ring did the two get up and leave the Northern Liao Palace's mansion with a pale expression.
Handing over half of Wei's property is nothing, and they Weishi are not reluctant to pay for it. But as soon as this money is handed over, will their Wei clan still be one of the seven great families of Dayan?
The crown princess and Wei Ran knew this very well in their hearts.
Therefore, when the crown princess and Wei Ran left the Northern Liao Palace, no one noticed that in the candlelight of dusk, the crown princess left a few tears in her eyes. And Wei Ran saw his sister's tears, but he just bit his lip and didn't say anything. Because when their sisters talked to Ji Qingchen tonight, she listened to what her sister said word for word, and how Ji Qingchen answered her sister She also listened to it word for word. Therefore, she knows what her sister is crying for, and she knows what her sister's tears are shed for.
When the two sisters left the Northern Liao Palace, Ji Qingchen, who had already left the study, was chatting happily with the ministers drinking tea in the living room, and the atmosphere of everyone talking and laughing was very good, which was diametrically opposed to the atmosphere when he talked to the crown princess and Wei Ran in the study.
