Chapter 153: Talking
In Jiang Yuanliu's view, whether Zhao Jinhuai did well or not, he would not get any benefits in the end.
If Zhao Jinhuai handled the disaster victims perfectly, he would definitely be jealous of the emperor and regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the eldest prince, if it was not handled well, it would become an excuse for the eldest prince's faction to attack Zhao Jinhuai.
Therefore, the courtiers who supported Zhao Jinhuai did not approve of his actions, and even some people who swayed left and right were disappointed in Zhao Jinhuai because Zhao Jinhuai took the initiative to ask for disaster relief.
Jiang Yuanliu admires Zhao Jinhuai, and the other princes are all pleasing the emperor, or Taoguang is accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to seize the throne of the dragon chair.
No one cares what to do with the tens of thousands of victims in Cangzhou!
Didn't the courtiers know about the behavior of the uncle? Anyone who has a little way knows what kind of character Uncle Guo is and what kind of evil things he did during disaster relief.
However, the uncle is the younger brother of the current queen, the uncle of the eldest prince, and has also served as the emperor's close bodyguard, and has a very close relationship with the emperor.
Because of this, the courtiers were afraid of the background of the uncle, even if they knew that the uncle was full of private pockets and very cruelly withheld the disaster relief food, the subordinate officials were also greedy for disaster relief food, leaving no way for the people to live.
So what? Those who have the ability to manage do not dare to intervene, and if they report the uncle, they are enemies of the queen's eldest prince, and when the eldest prince ascends the throne, he will inevitably be liquidated.
And these capable people know that fighting snakes does not die but suffers from them, and the matter of greedy fifty percent of the disaster relief food is not a capital crime in the emperor's eyes, and in the face of the queen and the eldest prince, the emperor must be heavy and light, depose the title of uncle, and after two years of thinking about it, there will be nothing left.
Who is responsible, you ask? Of course, it's those petty officials who have no background!
The courtiers knew this, and the second prince Zhao Jinhuai naturally knew it, and even Jiang Yuanliu guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.
Therefore, Zhao Jinhuai looked at the letter sent by his subordinates, and the whole person was very silent, a pair of handsome eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and a Sichuan character formed in the center of his eyebrows, Jiang Yuanliu felt that if it was a long time, the Sichuan character pattern on Zhao Jinhuai's eyebrows would definitely be deeply rooted.
So Jiang Yuanliu persuaded him: "Your Highness has stood up to ask for the people's life, which is the luck of the people of Cangzhou. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Jinhuai is a person who is willing to ask questions without shame, he is not a resolute character, he is very good at listening to the remarks of his subordinate advisers, and choosing the most correct and most beneficial strategy from various advices.
"Your Highness, you can think like this, the floods and droughts in Cangzhou have already happened, and they are already facts that cannot be changed, what you are worried about is that the victims will be in turmoil and chaos, but it is very beneficial for you to happen."
Jiang Yuanliu believes that the law does not blame the people, and the reason why these victims were deliberately instigated by others is because they really can't survive, and the thief will first capture the king, as long as the seditions are arrested, then these people will not be punished.
And making trouble is the fastest way to get the power to pay attention to the Cangzhou disaster, only when the victims make trouble, the emperor can realize the seriousness of the Cangzhou disaster, and must punish the root cause.
"Your Highness, to put it mildly, there should be no one to support you about the matter of your self-recommendation to go to Cangzhou for disaster relief?"
Zhao Jinhuai smiled bitterly and nodded, not only did no one agree, the courtiers he encircled almost didn't point their noses and scold him for being willful, but he really couldn't bear to watch the hundreds of thousands of victims in Cangzhou finally starve to death.
"If I don't stand up, no one will dare to confront the Great Prince." Zhao Jinhuai sighed, of course he knew that what he was doing now was tantamount to taking a chestnut out of the fire.
He was supposed to accumulate strength and wait for the day when he would give the eldest prince a fatal blow that he was caught off guard, but what he was doing now was completely declaring war directly on the eldest prince's faction.
"Your Highness, you may not be bad like this, sometimes you think that you don't fight or grab, in the eyes of others, it is already very eye-catching, does Your Highness really think that you can keep your eyes on it? Is it true that the prince and queen are defenseless against you? Even if you are a wooden man in the court, the adult prince is an obstacle in the eyes of the eldest prince and the queen! β
Jiang Yuanliu said mercilessly, she felt that Zhao Jinhuai was a little naΓ―ve, thinking that she could really make the eldest prince and queen not notice him by enduring humiliation, how could this be!
"Think about it, the assassination that day in the Huguo Temple, there should be countless assassinations? The more quiet you are, the more the prince and queen think that you are a person with a deep sense of the city. β
Hearing this, Zhao Jinhuai suddenly looked up at Jiang Yuanliu, he knew that what Jiang Yuanliu said was to the point, but he didn't know what else to dodge when he was weak!
"Since Your Highness has entered the court, you are already declaring war on the eldest prince and the queen, do you really want to be a pure minister, a virtuous minister?" Jiang Yuanliu asked seriously.
She needs to determine whether Zhao Jinhuai has the self-confidence to seize the throne.
From Zhao Jinhuai's eyes, she could see that Zhao Jinhuai was very ambitious in his heart and wanted the throne, but his power was not enough to compete with the eldest prince and the queen.
"No, what can Miss Jiang do?" Zhao Jinhuai's eyes were burning, if he could get the help of Jiang Fengmao, the protector of the country, why should he hide his talents cautiously.
Jiang Yuanliu saw through Zhao Jinhuai's thoughts at a glance, she had seen too much of such eyes, the eldest prince, the queen mother, and the third prince with exotic blood, and the fourth prince who seemed to be wooden.
"Siege Wei to save Zhao." Jiang Yuanliu told a story with a smile, the relationship between the three countries, if they want to maintain stability, they must disturb this pool.
Zhao Jinhuai was thoughtful, he didn't think of this way, but the third prince was destined to miss the throne because of bloodline issues, and the mother of the fourth prince, Concubine De, had been following the queen's ass since she entered the palace, and she was completely the queen's follower.
The status of the five princes born to Concubine Xian today and the favor of the emperor are very suitable for the eldest prince to fight in the ring, but the five princes are young, only six years old this year, and it is a question whether they can live to adulthood.
Therefore, Zhao Jinhuai is cautious, because he is the prince who is the same age as the eldest prince among all the brothers, and his intelligence is okay.
"If I hadn't stood up, the Great Prince wouldn't have regarded me as an opponent." Zhao Jinhuai said with a smile, Zhao Yuhuai was arrogant and arrogant, and never regarded him as an opponent as a son of an abandoned concubine, even if he successfully entered the court, he was looked down upon by Zhao Yuhuai.
It's just that he never regretted it.
"But if you stand up, then we have to find a way to find something to do for the eldest prince." Jiang Yuanliu smiled evilly: "The disaster relief team should set off soon, are you ready to make a contribution, Your Highness?" β
Jiang Yuanliu knew that if he couldn't show his ability, Zhao Jinhuai would not be able to win the throne at all, no matter how cautious he was, he would not be able to compare to those princes who had mothers circling around the palace.
If Zhao Jinhuai wants to get that position among the many princes, he must stand out, show his strength, and keep himself under the siege of many princes.
"Liu'er, don't play dumb riddles, I know you already have a way." Gu Jinshu's eyes were full of appreciation for Jiang Yuanliu, he knew that Jiang Yuanliu would say so much, but he had already thought of a way.
Jiang Yuanliu said with a smile: "Everyone can only see the forces behind me, but only His Royal Highness has seen my ability, and using this background, I can use a discordant plan." β
She deliberately complimented Zhao Jinhuai, her language was a little sharp just now, and she was not polite to Zhao Jinhuai at all, although Zhao Jinhuai is now a down-and-out prince, she can humbly accept it.
But who can guarantee that one day after Zhao Jinhuai sits in the position above those 10,000 people, he will be able to ignore the past as he is now?
If there is a day, what she says today will become a thorn in Zhao Jinhuai's heart, she is now taking refuge in Zhao Jinhuai and showing her ability to Zhao Jinhuai, just to protect herself and protect the Protectorate Mansion.
So Jiang Yuanliu didn't want to make trouble for his future at all.
"Discord meter?"
Jiang Yuanliu said with a smile: "You may not know that the eldest prince once threw an olive branch to me in order to get my father's support, but unfortunately I am not interested, men can rely on their own merits, why can't women?" β
Hearing Jiang Yuanliu's words, a hint of darkness flashed in Zhao Jinhuai's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Yuanliu stopped at the point, she took refuge in Zhao Jinhuai, it does not mean that her father Jiang Fengmao will help Zhao Jinhuai win the throne, she is saying this now, just to dispel the extravagant hopes in Zhao Jinhuai's heart.
However, she also knew that she could not be separated from the Protectorate Mansion, so she stopped at the point.
"Zhao Yuhuai is arrogant and arrogant, if he finds that a woman who disdains him turns her head and admires his younger brother, do you think Zhao Yuhuai will be angry?" Jiang Yuanliu said with a smile.
Gu Jinshu's eyes darkened, and he immediately refused: "I don't agree, a woman's name is very important, even if you don't care, I don't allow you to use yourself!" β
He knew why Jiang Yuanliu was so urgent, although Gu Jinshu understood, but he didn't agree with what Jiang Yuanliu did, he didn't want Jiang Yuanliu to treat him like this.
"Liu'er, we can find another way, if you treat yourself like this, I will never agree!" Gu Jinshu said very resolutely.
Jiang Yuanliu smiled: "It's just a woman's name, do you care?" I don't think there's anything to be wronged about, and I don't mean to sell my body for it? I heard that the Four Princes are very good at drawing, and it just so happened that I needed a painter to help me draw a picture of the human body. β
