Chapter 81: My Own People (Second Watch)
Although Xiao Jin can enjoy himself, the Jiangbei County Mansion sings every night, but he is not stupid, what is the pickled thing behind the disaster in Hengchuan County, although he is not very sure, but he also guessed eight or nine.
With Wu Yi, who is the backer of the Jiangbei County Palace, who else can buy him to move the silver allocated by the household department to build the embankment in Hengchuan County? It was undoubtedly a mansion with a greater power and a higher gate than the Jiangbei County Palace.
This Houliang is naturally much more than the mansion of the Gaomen of the Jiangbei County Wangfu, but the lack of silver is so lacking that the idea of secretly fighting the embankment of Hengchuan County, and there are very few mansions with this courage.
He thought about it, and there was an East Palace.
If the East Palace is behind the collapse of the embankment in Hengchuan County, then now that the matter is exposed, because of Wu Yi's relationship, wouldn't the East Palace want to pull out the Jiangbei County Palace?
Let him face Xiao Ze, he has no chance of winning.
Over the years, the one who can compete with Xiao Ze endlessly is Ling Hua.
Ling Hua's weak shoulders, but the sharp sword he wielded has the ability to split the heavens and the earth, over the years, he has also dealt with Ling Hua several times, but this face is not enough for Ling Hua to help him.
He knew what Ling Hua wanted, so when he came today, he had already made up his mind that as long as Ling Hua was willing to help him get through this difficulty, the Jiangbei County Mansion would only look forward to her.
The face is not enough, and the king of the entire Jiangbei County is enough.
After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he thought that Ling Hua would agree, but he didn't expect that Ling Hua didn't speak. He suddenly lost his heart, and asked tentatively, "Isn't it enough for you to be the only one in the entire Jiangbei County Palace?" ”
What's more, you are already fighting with the East Palace, anyway, one person is going to deal with the East Palace, isn't it good to have one more Jiangbei County Palace?
They are all people who understand, and he didn't ask this directly.
Could it be that the matter of Hengchuan County is so tricky that Ling Hua is unwilling to save the Jiangbei County Palace?
Ling Hua shook his head and gave him an affirmative answer, "The Jiangbei County Prince's Mansion is naturally enough, and the county prince is very sincere." ”
Xiao Jin suddenly felt like he had taken a reassuring pill, "Then what do you mean?" ”
Ling Hua smiled, "The Jiangbei County Mansion doesn't have to look at my horse's head, just look at the horse's head with the second highness." ”
Xiao Jin's eyes widened suddenly.
Ling Hua's meaning in this sentence was to indirectly tell him that the person she supported was Second Highness Xiao Zhen. Earlier, it really didn't show any wind at all, and it didn't let people see it, if he didn't say it today, he would still guess that she was working against Donggong so desperately, who was the person who supported her? Could it be the fourth prince or the fifth prince? Or is it the younger newborn prince?
Second Highness Xiao Zhen, is really mediocre, not brilliant, except for this time His Majesty ordered him to go to Hengchuan County with the Hubu Shangshu to thoroughly investigate the disaster and provide disaster relief, has always been in the court like a transparent person, it is said that in the morning of the day, when His Majesty issued an order, His Royal Highness Xiao Zhen was not willing to go to Hengchuan County, or His Majesty forcibly gave the order.
He really didn't expect that the person supported by Ling Hua was Xiao Zhen.
He looked at Ling Hua, such a smart person, since taking over Jiangnan Caoyun, has never hidden her ability and intelligence, will she choose a person who is not smart, mediocre and has no ability to compete for reserves to support?
Could it be that His Royal Highness Xiao Zhen has always had the impression of being pretended in front of outsiders? Used to paralyze the crown prince and courtiers and even your majesty?
After all, it is well known to the whole country that His Majesty is very fond of Prince Xiao Ze. Over the years, the power of the East Palace is too great, although His Majesty has always had checks and balances, but he has not restricted the rights of the Prince, in recent months, the Prince has angered His Majesty, and he was locked up in the East Palace to think about it behind closed doors.
His heart surged for a while before he spoke, "This is the Ling family, and the left and right words can't be passed on, Miss Ling might as well explain it." ”
Ling Hua smiled, "The prince of the county is a smart person, why not use what I said to make it clearer?" If the prince of the county wants to save himself, the Jiangbei County Mansion and the Second Prince's Mansion will be a family in the future, and I will be my own person. ”
"Second Highness, he ...... Has it been clumsy? Xiao Jin felt that what he said was clear enough, and he understood.
Ling Hua sighed lightly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been established as a prince since he was a child, and His Majesty is favored, because His Royal Highness was born in the belly of Concubine Duan, he has no favor, not to mention, and no mother to rely on, if he doesn't hide it, I'm afraid he would have died to this day." ”
Xiao Jin nodded, this is naturally true, the situation of the Second Highness has not changed since he was a child, His Majesty does not like the Second Highness, everyone knows it, and they all know that it is because of the Duan Concubine in the cold palace.
But because of this, the second highness has also hidden it too well over the years, making everyone think that he is incapable and willing to be ordinary. Even he, who has been in Beijing several times, has seen Xiao Zhen several times, but he can't see where he has a person who has the heart to compete for the reserve.
He looked at Ling Hua and asked curiously, "I take the liberty of asking, when did Miss Ling start supporting His Second Highness?" ”
Could it have been three years ago? If the Ling family fell three years ago, it would not be surprising that His Royal Highness would take the opportunity to rein in her.
Ling Hua said calmly, "Ten years ago! ”
Xiao Jin's mouth suddenly opened an O-shape, and blurted out, "Ten years ago, how old were you?" ”
Ling Hua smiled, since she had become her own person, there was nothing she couldn't say about this matter, so she said briefly, "Ten years ago, I almost stepped on the air and slipped off the cliff, and the Second Highness happened to save my life, when the Second Highness was ten years old and I was six years old, I asked the Second Highness what he wanted in return, and the Second Highness casually said that he wanted the throne." ”
"So small, you know how to repay such a big thing?" Xiao Jin wanted to say that this is too weird.
Ling Hua raised his eyebrows, "I'm precious, can't I?" ”
Xiao Jin touched his nose, "Okay." ”
He is asking for help now, where can he dare to say no? He looked at Ling Hua, "Second Highness really dares to say it, and you really dare to agree." ”
"There is no one left and right, His Royal Highness has tasted countless hardships at that time, and he thinks that if he saves me, he will be saved, and if he can ask me for anything in return, he just said it casually." Ling Hua thought about it for a while, and found that he couldn't remember too much, but he always remembered Xiao Zhen's eyes when he said that I want the throne, do you repay me for helping me take that position. He wanted to rescue his mother from the cold palace, and wanted the position above the ten thousand people, but for him at that time, it was just a weak and humble unattainable idea, and he was afraid that he would be hopeless in this life, and it was because he had no hope in his heart that he dared to say it to her!
Only in that position, he sat as the master of the country, could he rescue his mother and become a child with a mother.
Xiao Jin sighed, "So, since you were six years old, have you started to help His Royal Highness the Second Highness?" ”
What can a six-year-old girl do?
Ling Hua shook his head, "At that time, my grandfather secretly helped His Second Highness to live better, and he could only live better, after all, not only I was young, but His Royal Highness was also young, and later after my grandfather died, I also grew up, but the Ling family was also framed, on the contrary, because of this, I knocked on the drum to sue the emperor, so that His Majesty saw my tenacity, and asked me if I had the courage to take over Jiangnan Caoyun, the Ling family stood up, and I fought against the East Palace, and it happened to coincide with the Second Highness." ”
Xiao Jin kept sighing, Ling Hua could tell him this, that is, he regarded him as his own, he asked directly, "His Royal Highness has been to Hengchuan County for more than 20 days now, but there is any news?" Behind Hengchuan County, if my guess is right, it was Donggong's doing, right? The prince of a country is greedy for the money that Hengchuan County built for the people, if it is really made by the East Palace, it is really ridiculous. ”
Ling Hua nodded, "It was done by the East Palace, isn't it ridiculous?" The East Palace has sent the head secret guard to Hengchuan County, and His Royal Highness has not known how many killers the East Palace and the Wen family have sent these days. ”
"What should I do?" Xiao Jin looked at Ling Hua, "Second Highness will be fine, right?" The head guard of the East Palace is said to be very powerful, and the secret guard of the Wen family is also very powerful. ”
Ling Hua was not polite, and said bluntly, "What is lacking now is people, the Wen family did not make a move in the past, only the people in Wen Qiliang's hands, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of, but Wen Xingzhi has planned to make a move half a month ago, so although I have arranged a lot of people for His Royal Highness, I am also afraid that in case, whether your Jiangbei County Mansion can be saved, in this move, how many people in your Jiangbei County Palace, all of them will be sent to Hengchuan County!" ”
Xiao Jin said, "There is a team of secret guards raised by me, there are not many of them, but they are expensive, you know, over the years, His Majesty has treated the Jiangbei County Mansion well, but it is also the premise that the Jiangbei County Mansion is not involved in the court affairs and is obedient." It is impossible for His Majesty to really let the clan and the palace go unchecked, although it looks like a laissez-faire state on the surface, but in fact, the Ouchi guards have to be sent to check twice a year, so there are not many people in the Jiangbei County Palace. ”
"How much is it?" Ling Hua also knew something about the Jiangbei County Palace.
"There are three hundred." Xiao Jin reported the number.
"Can one against ten?" Ling Hua asked.
"I don't dare to say big things, but I definitely have to use it, not much worse than the people in the East Palace." Xiao Jin said, "After all, in the past few years, you have been in charge of Jiangnan Caoyun, you know, some of the businesses in the Jiangbei County Wangfu are Caoyun's ships, and half of the silver you earn is used to support them." ”
Ling Hua smiled, "Okay, then you give me this team, and I will let the East Palace not frame you in the Jiangbei County Palace." ”
