All the ministers were divided into two factions, arguing endlessly, and it looked like a fight was about to start.

Looking at their appearance, Emperor Sheng, who was already upset and angry, became even more angry, "Shut up." ”

Suddenly, the hall was silent, and no one dared to say a word.

Emperor Sheng was extremely angry, but there was no way, in fact, those people were right, the most important thing now is to appease the An family first and let Northern Chu retreat, otherwise, things will only evolve to the point of being out of control.

The strength of Northern Chu is strong, Dasheng has long been no opponent of Northern Chu, and now it is different from the past, the weak can only succumb to the strong. This is a constant truth since ancient times.

An Jin said that he was sick today and did not go to court early, the meaning is already obvious, if he does not appease the An family, I am afraid that there will be no room for turning around in this matter.

At present, only when Jing'an wakes up can he know the truth of the matter, if it is found out that this matter is really An Ran's doing, even if it is Beichu, he is not qualified to say anything, and the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people.

"In this matter, Aiqing is right, it is true that you need to appease the An family first, and then find out the truth of the matter after Princess Jing'an wakes up. Emperor Sheng said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty. ”

"It's just how to appease it?" said Emperor Sheng with a frown, a pensive expression. That's a problem.

This appeasement is really a bit difficult to stabilize the hearts of the An family and not lose the face of Emperor Sheng.

"It's better to send someone who can represent Your Majesty in status and status, as long as it can reach Your Majesty's wishes. Someone suggested.

Emperor Sheng nodded, "This is a good idea, so who are you going to send?"

An Jin's identity and status in Dasheng can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand, it is definitely inappropriate to send other ministers, but it is impossible for Emperor Sheng to go in person, even if he wants to appease the An family, but after all, this matter is related to Princess Jing'an, is the face of the royal family, if Emperor Sheng went in person, wouldn't he inform everyone that he was afraid of Northern Chu and the An family?

"Why don't you let the prince go, what does Your Majesty think?" The one who spoke was the Minister of War, who was also a relatively neutral person, and he was also upright and loyal.

Hearing this, Emperor Sheng felt very good, the crown prince went, this identity can not only represent His Majesty, but also show the demeanor of the Dasheng royal family, and most importantly, this move may also be able to win the hearts of the crown prince.

If the crown prince can win the hearts of the An family, then it will definitely be of great benefit to the future enthronement and governance of Dasheng.

"So it is very good, let the prince go. ”

At this time, Xiao Qing, who was the crown prince, stood up and said, "The son will not disgrace his life, and he will definitely have a good talk with the prince." ”

"Prince, your task this time is arduous, you must remember that when you go to An's house, you must be respectful and polite, Jing'an's matter has not been investigated clearly, although An Ran is suspicious, but after all, he is not a prisoner, you have to treat him well. Emperor Sheng instructed.

"Father and emperor rest assured, sons and ministers understand. ”

After going down, Xiao Qing did not delay, and immediately left the palace to settle down.

An Ran and Shangguan Jing were both in Laiyin Pavilion, drinking tea with An Jin and Lin Yin, when they heard the news of the prince's coming, the four of them were a little surprised, and An Jin asked the prince to come to Laiyin Pavilion.

"Father, the crown prince came here this time, probably on the orders of Emperor Sheng. An Ran said.

The soldiers and horses of Northern Chu are gathered at the border, and Emperor Sheng must have known about it, in this case, he must be uneasy, afraid that the soldiers and horses of Northern Chu will attack the city of Fengdu, and this time let the prince come is nothing more than to appease people's hearts.

Emperor Sheng is a very shrewd person, since he wants to take away the power of the An family, but under the balance of the two, even if it will lose his face, he will still take measures and will not let things develop out of control.

"It should be. In any case, when the prince comes, we must treat each other with courtesy. An Jinyi explained.

An Ran and Shangguan Jing nodded, in fact, An Ran was not hostile to Xiao Qing, but had a kind of sympathy for him. She remembered that Xiao Qing in her previous life had a very tragic end, Xiao Yi took the throne, cut the grass and eradicated the roots, killed the crown prince, and killed the crown princess and his three-year-old son.

Xiao Qing does not have Xiao Yi's ambitions, he is a more practical person, but he is more than generous and lacks resourcefulness, he can become the prince, and it is also because his mother is from a noble background and is a son-in-law, so he was made the prince.

An Ran is sympathetic to Xiao Qing's fate, but since ancient times, if you are not strong enough, you can only be eliminated, and even worse, you will lose your life.

Thinking about it, Xiao Qing had already come to the Laiyin Pavilion, and under the leadership of An Jin, they saluted Xiao Qing first, "I've seen the prince." ”

Xiao Qing immediately helped An Jin up, "Taifu doesn't need to be polite. ”

"Thank you, Prince, please be seated. ”

After Xiao Qing sat down, he looked at An Ran, "Ah Ran, we haven't seen each other since we met at the last dinner." There were too many things at the dinner, and I didn't have time to say a few words to Ah Ran. ”

"The prince is very loving, it should be Ah Ran who asked the prince for forgiveness, and he has not visited the prince's mansion in person since he came back for so long. I An Ran also responded politely.

"Today, when the palace came, in addition to visiting the Taifu family, I actually brought the emperor's order," Xiao Qing said.

An Jin and the others did not speak, waiting for Xiao Qing to continue.

"Presumably, Taifu has already guessed the intention of this palace. The matter of Jing'an was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect it to evolve into a point where the two countries were almost about to fight each other, and the soldiers and horses of Northern Chu were gathered at the border, and the palace knew that it was for the sake of Ah Ran's safety. But the father asked the palace to come, just to tell Taifu and Ah Ran, Jing'an's matter, he didn't mean to ask Ah Ran, now Jing'an is unconscious, and this matter can only be investigated after she wakes up.

Yesterday, the palace sent someone over, in fact, it was nothing more than to ask what happened, but since Ah Ran said that this matter had nothing to do with it, then whether it was his father or the palace, they all believed it. Please also ask Taifu and Ah Ran not to misunderstand, so as not to cause an uncontrollable situation.

My father has already said that the matter of Jing'an will definitely be investigated, and Jing'an will be given an explanation, and Ah Ran will be innocent. ”

Hearing this, An Jin and An Ran glanced at each other, and An Jin said: "We know the prince's intention, and we also understand His Majesty's meaning." The two countries are fighting each other, and it is not what we want to see, and the soldiers and horses of Northern Chu are assembled at the border for An Ran's safety, which is certainly true. But not all of them are like this, Ah Ran, as an envoy of Northern Chu, now that something like this has happened, it is reasonable for Northern Chu to come forward, which is related to the national prestige of Northern Chu. ”
