Zhang Jie's sudden "enlightenment" not only made Pei Qingqing's jaw drop in shock, but even Qiao Ran was a little surprised, but compared to Pei Qingqing's long-term inability to come back to her senses, she quickly came back to her senses.

In fact, it is not surprising that there are few people in the entire Chang'an City who do not like him, and he can be praised as a gentleman in everyone's mouth, no matter what, in modern terms, Zhang Jie's emotional intelligence is extremely high.

As for the proportions of the jokes, he has always grasped them very well, especially for her.

It's the first time that he has a heart, and he is obviously much more comfortable than her forced composure.

Qiao Ran sighed: No way, probably this also depends on talent! And even if she has experienced "modern society" and is well-informed, she is still much cramped compared to him.

Sometimes, she even thinks that if he is willing to coax a girl with all his might, I am afraid that there will be few girls who will not fall into it.

In this regard...... Well, she Qiao Ran is also an ordinary girl, of course, she is not exempt from vulgarity. What's more, the person in front of her was what she liked at first sight.

As if sensing her crampedness, Zhang Xie coughed lightly, accepted it when he saw it, and spoke again about business: "Princess Zhennan came to Jiao's house for your business." ”

There are many smart people in the world, and His Majesty's layout is still seen through, and obviously the Yu family is the first to react.

"Actually, Yu Saijiu himself didn't take this matter to heart at all from beginning to end," Zhang Xie said, seemingly feeling a little funny, "He is a person who is difficult to come out of." ”

Of course, although the world's first school, Guozijian, is not the same, but in the end, this is still a school. The idle and elegant official position of the national son festival wine is just equivalent to the dean of the school. As for Yu Saijiu himself, he has stayed in this official position for many years and rarely gets involved in political affairs.

Having said that, it must have been that the first emperor also took a fancy to the Yu family's rare "involvement in political affairs" before marrying the young lady of the Yu family to the Zhennan Wang's family.

Qiao Ran thought for a while, and was about to speak, but Pei Qingqing, who was more anxious than her, had already blurted out: "I understand, they are going to deal with Miss Qiao!" Zhang Jie, why aren't you in a hurry? Still in the mood for a joke? ”

That's not true! Pei Qingqing glared at him.

The little girl's anxious roar was very cute, Qiao Ran couldn't help but smile and patted her shoulder to appease, and then looked at Zhang Xie curiously, which was also where she felt puzzled.

With her understanding of Zhang Jie, if the matter was serious, he would never joke like Fang Cai. Especially in this matter, since the Yu family is involved, it definitely doesn't look like a thing that can be put on a joke.

"Because Princess Zhennan is a very smart person," Zhang Xie said and looked at Qiao Ran and gave her a reassuring look, explaining, "She can see through His Majesty's layout, don't worry, she is measured." ”

What His Majesty needs is a force to restrain her, so it is a good thing to have Princess Zhennan involved, at least one person who understands that he will be in control, even if he is embarrassed by Qiao Ran in the future, he will not be ruthless.

Qiao Ran nodded when she heard this, and after pondering for a moment, she said to Zhang Jie: "You seem to know Princess Zhennan quite well. ”

Fang Cai's comment didn't look like the words of someone who didn't know each other.

"The princess was born weak, so she often dealt with Yin and Yang Si Su Rili." Zhang Xie glanced at her with a smile, paused, and continued, "Actually, the joke I teased you just now is not exactly a joke, Princess Zhennan's husband and son are gone, leaving her a woman who lives in the world and has no thoughts, so she often puts her thoughts on such things, she often comes to the Yin and Yang Division to inquire about people's aftermaths, and she also dreams of the prince's son and wants to interpret dreams or something." In the past, the Great Heavenly Master used 'burning more paper money' to appease the princess. ”

Hearing the words "burn more paper money", Pei Qingqing stuck out her tongue and secretly touched her snack bag again.

Qiao Ran didn't speak immediately after hearing this, as if she was still thinking about Zhang Jiecai's words.

"However, I am still a little surprised that Princess Zhennan will appear in the Jiao family." After a pause, Zhang Xie said again, "I'm not surprised that she can understand His Majesty's layout, but what is strange to me is that she is willing to take the initiative to jump out and make the knife in His Majesty's hand." ”

After all, the Yu family was not the only one who made trouble in Baishenglou at that time, and she didn't need to jump out, but the fact was that she jumped out first.

Thinking of this, his face became a little solemn.

The knife in His Majesty's hand is not unfamiliar to him, after all, he himself is a knife in His Majesty's hand. It's just that although he himself is doing well, and the constraints are not so great, at least there is room for mediation in some matters, such as his family affairs. But most knives are not comfortable. Zhang Xie privately thought that Princess Zhennan could be said to be the person who had no worries in the world, she was originally unrestrained, and she would have lived her life with the thought of her husband's son, why did she suddenly jump out at this time to be the knife in His Majesty's hand?

It's not to blame him for thinking about it, after all, it's at least much more comfortable to live unfettered than to live as a knife.

Looking at Zhang Jie's puzzled expression and the few words in his mouth, these were enough for Qiao Ran to piece together a princess of Zhennan whose information was still complete.

A famous princess of Zhennan who has no desires and no desires lives a naturally lonely life, but as Zhang Xie said, no matter how sad and lonely she is, she will always be more comfortable than the knife in His Majesty's hand.

But Princess Zhennan gave up that life and chose to become a knife in the hands of His Majesty. It's okay if it's a stupid person, but Princess Zhennan is not, on the contrary, she is still an extremely smart person.

It was precisely because Princess Zhennan was extremely smart that Zhang Xie was puzzled.

Zhang Xie was puzzled, well, when he thought about it, he always felt a little funny. Qiao Ran secretly said that she was really too unserious...... At this time, you can still think of such chilling jokes.

However, the current Zhang Xie is really difficult to solve.

Qiao Ran thought for a while, and suddenly asked him, "How old is Princess Zhennan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw the puzzled look on Zhang Jie's face turn to astonishment.

Qiao Ran was a little embarrassed and spread her hands: she didn't know Princess Zhennan at all before, so except for the "smart" in Zhang Jie's mouth, she didn't know anything about Princess Zhennan.

If you don't know each other, you can speculate about the possibilities of Princess Zhennan like you would an ordinary person.

Forgive her for coming from modern society, and it is not impossible to have a "lover" and the like when she counts the appearance of Princess Zhennan in her forties.

The word human affection often does something outside of reason.

Zhang Xie obviously sensed the meaning of her words, and seemed a little helpless after being stunned, but finally sighed and said, "It shouldn't be what you think." ”

Qiao Ran sighed, suddenly, it wasn't because of this reason.

There must be another reason for Princess Zhennan to suddenly jump out, but they don't know this reason at the moment. Keep your books in stock

Qiao Ran didn't linger on Princess Zhennan's personal reasons, and after thinking for a while, she asked Zhang Xie again: "I haven't asked before, where is the fief of King Zhennan?" ”

Originally, I just wanted to understand more clearly and asked casually, but as soon as these words came out, Zhang Jie's expression on the opposite side became subtle.

After glancing at Qiao Ran, he spoke: "It's on the border of Lingnan Linzhou. ”

This sentence made Qiao Ran's heart move: This position! She didn't know much about the importance of the geographical location of the marching battle, but when she was on Shanxi Road before, she had heard Bai Zhijun mention that this kind of critical position was probably either a dead end or an important checkpoint, which played a vital role in the confrontation between the two armies.

Therefore, it can be said that although the fief of King Zhennan is a big place, it should not be weak in terms of importance.

Of course, this point still has to ask Zhang Jie.

Thinking like this, Qiao Ran then asked him, "Is that position important?" When Chen Shan rebelled, what did King Zhennan do in it? ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, he saw a dark light flashing in Zhang Jie's eyes, he looked at her deeply, and said, "King Zhennan has done nothing, and he can't do anything. ”

After all, whether the two parties were rebelling or resisting, the forces they had were not comparable to a small fiefdom of King Zhennan.

Therefore, no matter who he faces, King Zhennan can only open the city.

Such a move is actually understandable now, after all, the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too large, and even resistance is just causing the people in the fiefdom to suffer for no reason.

If they resist, they will face nothing but slaughter.

It's just that in the eyes of the people at that time, King Zhennan's move was really spineless and unproductive, and if it was put in the mouth of the teahouse storyteller, it would also be said for three days and three nights.

However, at that time, there were major events happening almost every moment in the world, and these things of King Zhennan estimated that General Huang, who led the troops to resist the enemy at that time and was now guarding the border pass, did not pay attention to it at all.

Moreover, the generals who passed through the fiefdom of King Zhennan at that time did not receive any merits after quelling the chaos.

Therefore, no one has spoken about this matter and the person of Zhennan King himself for many years.

"Although there are not many people who know, I still know something because of the relationship between the Yin and Yang Division and Princess Zhennan." When Zhang explained this, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he seemed to feel a little unhappy about what he was going to say next, "The generals who passed through the fiefdom of King Zhennan back then told King Zhennan because of King Zhennan's attitude, and said...... Say ......"

Zhang Xie hesitated for a moment, as if he felt a little embarrassed.

There are not many Confucian generals like Bai Zhijun who lead the troops to fight, and most of them are men who rely on their martial arts. Of course, there are two sides to people, he is bold, and sometimes he is rude. It's inevitable.

"I know it's not going to be a good thing, you just say it." Qiao Ran was prepared in her heart, and said to Zhang Jie, "You have to make it clear, so that I can know what happened at that time." ”

Zhang Xie hummed, closed his eyes, and spoke again: "It is said that the fiefdom of King Zhennan is like a latrine, anyone can come as much as they want, and leave as soon as they want." ”

No matter how big the fief of King Zhennan is, it is also a royal prince and nobleman who is on the clan register, and he is a prince of Zheng'er.

The general compared a dignified prince's fief to a latrine, so didn't the owner of the fief become the owner of the latrine?

Maybe the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Qiao Ran had seen military generals who were not too rude, such as Zhou Shilin, who cursed and cursed, and when he heard the words in Zhang Jie's mouth at this time, he suddenly felt that Zhou Shilin's previous boast on Shanxi Road that he was a "military Chinese elegant person" was not nonsense.

Maybe the men in the same army will not take these words to heart, but such a royal prince and nobleman as King Zhennan, and the emperor of Tiangao is far from coming to the capital to bow his head, I am afraid that he will be angry in the face of such words.

Sure enough, Zhang Jie's next words completely confirmed her guess.

"The king of Zhennan was angry because of this, and after the general left, he vomited blood, and the doctor said that it was caused by anger and urgency, and he left within two years." Zhang Xie couldn't help sighing when he said this, as if he was a little helpless, but he was helpless.

From the general's point of view, he could understand it. After all, the world was in turmoil at that time, and in front of the bold men in the army, King Zhennan's move was too "spineless", so he complained "without words".

But from the perspective of King Zhennan, it's another matter. Originally, opening the city gate was a last resort, and he had always been far away from the court and was the first person in the fiefdom to be extremely noble, not to mention the war for no reason, and was scolded by a small army general who had no fame, and naturally became sick.

"If this matter spreads, I'm afraid that more people will laugh at King Zhennan's small temperament, so Princess Zhennan didn't reveal it to the public, after all, this is not a glorious thing." Zhang Xie said, "As for the king of Zhennan himself, he may be a little noble, but he is not bad, because he has always been loved by the people in the fief. ”

Qiao Ran didn't say anything about the King of Zhennan, compared to the good or bad of the King of Zhennan himself, she was more concerned about the thoughts of Princess Zhennan and the fief that was about to be recovered.

"What's so special about that fiefdom other than its special location?" Qiao Ran pondered for a moment and asked again, she pointed out the key point in one sentence, "The knife in Your Majesty's hand is not something that anyone can do. ”

The only thing that is special about a powerless princess of Zhennan is that fief, but that fief will be taken back after she leaves.

On the surface, Princess Zhennan wants to make a knife, and His Majesty may not want it!

"I don't know." Zhang Xie glanced at her and shook his head slightly, "It's not easy to get a word out of the mouth of Princess Zhennan. ”

He only knows so much about the Zhennan Wang couple, after all, in Beijing, Princess Zhennan is too low-key, and he didn't even care too much about her coming to the Yin and Yang Division to ask about "burning paper money" in the past.

In his opinion, such a "born" person should not have anything to do with them, until he saw her in Jiao's house. I knew it was like this...... He still regretted it a little.

However, now that he saw it, he would pay more attention to it, after all, it was her business.

The girl didn't continue to ask about Princess Zhennan, she only smiled and said her intention: "Then don't talk about this, I came to you to have something to tell you." ”

Zhang Xie snorted and asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "I have found the murderer of Xue Huai, I want to ask you to reveal this matter to Your Majesty's ears tomorrow." ”
