Chapter 91: The Battle of the Staff (1)
Hearing Ruan Tingge's domineering words, Jiang Bai showed a wry smile on his face, and pretended to arch his hand, "Obey, county lord." ”
Ruan Qinge grinned, reached out and picked up the sword on the weapon rack again, played a sword flower and said, "I already have a lot of experience in the dusty swordsmanship you taught me before, why don't you practice again?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Bai also picked up his sword, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Then the county lord has to be careful." ”
The figure flickered again on the martial arts training ground, the sword light was staggered, and the dancing air flow stirred up the dust on the ground, and the fine dust flew in the winter sun, with a faint and mottled light.
Not far away, under the shade of a tree, stood two people, one of whom was Ruan Qiguang.
The two stood there silently and looked at the martial arts training ground for a long time, but they didn't move.
Ruan Qiguang's slightly darkened Jun had a cautious expression on his face, and he turned his head to Jiang Qing behind him and asked, "The county lord's martial arts are really as powerful as you said?" ”
Jiang Qing replied briefly, "It's not much different from Jiang Bai." ”
Ruan Qiguang's eyebrows moved when he heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"This girl...," Ruan Qiguang muttered, a half-proud and half-bitter smile on her usually cold face, "She has such talent... I didn't expect that. ”
"Still, it's a good thing for her." He lowered his voice and muttered to himself.
Jiang Qing also raised her eyes to look at Ruan Tiange on the field at this time, with a hint of uncertainty in her cool black eyes.
The Three Princes' Mansion.
Ling Chengsi sat at the desk, listening to the heated discussion of several staff members in front of him, and pursed his lips slightly to look at the letter in his hand.
He tapped his fingers on the black ash tabletop, and the sound of a thud made the voices of his staff gradually stop.
"Ling Chengxi's recommendation for the commander of the forbidden army this time, everyone has been discussing it for so long, what do you think?" Ling Chengsi asked.
Several staff members looked at each other, and a staff member in his fifties with a thin face and beard took a step forward.
This staff member arched his hand and said, "This Meng Guang is a branch of the Meng family, and he is appointed as the general of the left prison guard, and there is nothing wrong with serving as the commander of the forbidden army in terms of rank, which is much more suitable than the few candidates selected by the six princes before." ”
The staff member continued, "But the Meng family in Jinling didn't have much contact with the Six Princes before, and I don't know why the Six Princes recommended the Meng family to be the commander of the forbidden army this time. ”
Ling Chengsi frowned slightly.
Another staff member spoke at this time, "If the Jinling Meng family also starts to support the Six Princes, this situation will be very unfavorable for us. ”
"Lord Li's words are premature." The staff member with a thin face and beard said disapprovingly, "Let's not talk about whether the Meng family secretly sided with the Six Princes, even if his Meng family and the Qingyuan Cui family both support the Six Princes, there is not much threat to us." ”
Ling Chengsi raised his eyes and looked at the staff member, "What do you mean by that?" ”
The thin-faced and bearded staff member showed a confident expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "The queen of the middle palace is still here, and our master is the only orthodox heir. ”
The second staff member who spoke before was a little disapproving, and his lips moved to say something, and then closed again.
Ling Chengsi noticed his expression and said, "If Master Li has other opinions, just speak up. ”
The staff member named Master Li moved slightly, but shook his head again and said, "Li has no other opinions. ”
Ling Chengsi stood up from behind his desk, looked around at his staff, and said sincerely, "I know that everyone is dedicated to working for me, and everything they think and say is for my sake, so if you have any thoughts and opinions, please speak up and don't worry about anything wrong." ”
After Ling Chengsi finished speaking, he bowed and said loudly, "Chengsi is very grateful. ”
Several staff members were very touched, their faces showed surprise and emotion, and they hurriedly bowed down.
The staff with a thin face and a beard hurriedly said, "The master must not perform this big gift, we are all white, I really can't stand it." ”
Several other staff members also echoed one after another, and the staff member surnamed Li had a complicated complexion, mixed with a look of emotion, shame and excitement.
Ling Chengsi raised his body after saluting, and when he saw that everyone was a little disapproving, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone is worried about my affairs, what can you not afford this ceremony." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the staff surnamed Li and said, "I know that Master Li still has something to say, please speak up." ”
The staff member surnamed Li is about forty years old, with yellow skin and beard, and an elegant temperament.
With a look of shame on his face, he said to Ling Chenghe, "Li has just arrived, and he doesn't know much about the character of the third prince, so it's really ashamed to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
He bowed deeply to Ling Chenghe, looked at the other staff, and arched his hand, "It is really a blessing for Li to be able to serve the three princes and work with all his colleagues, and Li really shouldn't cherish himself." ”
"Master Li don't have to worry," the thin-faced and bearded staff member smiled, "If you have any ideas here, just say it, and the master won't be surprised." ”
The staff surnamed Li nodded, pondered for a while, and said to Ling Chenghe, "What my subordinates wanted to remind the three princes just now is that although the three princes occupy the position of the eldest prince, it is impossible for common sense to threaten the succession of the three princes. ”
"But have you ever wondered why the emperor has not appointed a prince for a long time?" As soon as the staff surnamed Li said this, the other staff members couldn't help but look at each other, and Ling Chengsi's cold face showed a trace of gloom, and he thought of the conversation with the King of Fenyang a few months ago.
The staff member with a thin face and beard coughed and said, "We have discussed this matter before. ”
Before he could say a few more words, one of the staff members spoke, "The emperor is in the prime of life and is in good health. And none of the princes under his knees have started a family, so he may not want to make a prince so early. ”
The staff member surnamed Li glanced at the person who spoke, and found that the person had an ordinary face, about thirty years old, and had no features.
"What do you call him?" The staff member surnamed Li asked.
"The surname of the late birth is Yu." The man was very courteous.
"Lord Yu's opinion is not wrong, but it is too one-sided." This Lord Li said very directly, not very politely, which made the staff surnamed Yu face stiffen.
"Your Majesty has only been founding the country for decades, and the most important thing is the stability of the rule, and the establishment of the crown prince is one of the most important measures to stabilize the hearts of the people of the government, is this not right?" Master Li looked at everyone, and everyone nodded.
"That's why I said that Lord Yu's view is too one-sided." This Master Li said lightly, and gestured to the staff surnamed Yu, and the man stiffened and smiled.
Ling Chengsi looked at Master Li who was talking eloquently in the study, and his eyes became serious.
