Xiao Junzhi and Han Jin both knew that Zhong Cui Palace was referring to the third son, Xiao Zhengzhi.

Although Han Jin enters Beijing once a year and lives for more than a month each time, she really knows very little about Xiao Zhengzhi, the king of Jing, and she mainly does not often go to Zhong Cui Palace, although she is very familiar with Xie Fu, and Xie Fu and Wu Shuyuan are related to each other, but this definitely cannot become a reason for Han Jin and Wu Shuyuan to be friends. Han Jin's understanding of Xiao Zhengzhi is limited to the fact that the third son is handsome, suave, solid in fists and feet, and smart.

Wu Shuyuan is too smart.

The second son was as smart as his mother.

Han Jin doesn't like people who are too smart.

She used to say this to Lingbi, Lingbi rolled her eyes and sarcastically mocked her, you are jealous.

Hearing that Concubine Rong said that Xiao Zhengzhi and Lu Xiuyi had dealings, Xiao Junzhi and Han Jin were surprised at the same time.

Lu Xiuyi has never been a party or a team, except for getting closer to Xie Dingyi, the third son of Xie Mansion, the others urged him not to move, but he didn't expect to have a relationship with Xiao Zhengzhi.

It's a bit of a bad situation.

Seeing that the prince was silent, Rong Guifei said, "When I first came, I met Mr. Zhang, Director Yi, and said a few words to them in a hurry, and they were also worried. ”

The uncertain future of the East Palace is really worrying.

The prince now needs the support of a competent military.

The military forces of Nanzhao are intricately intertwined, containing and restraining each other. There are five major corps, the Gyeonggi Army, the Southern Army, the Northern Army, the National Defense Army, the Dingzhou Army, and other small forces, such as the Chen Family Army under Chen Ce, the Xie Family Army under Xie Ling, the Jiangxia Army in the hands of the King of Jiangxia, and the Linjiang Army in the hands of the Prince of Linjiang.

In addition to the Gyeonggi Army, the Jingshi also had several forces: the Praetorian Guard, the Yulin Army, the Jimen Army, and the Public Security Bureau.

Commander-in-Chief Ye Gushui, who led the Southern Army, was undoubtedly a princeling, but except for Ye Gushui, everything else was ambiguous.

On the third son's side, in addition to a part of the Xie family army led by Xie Youyi, there is also the northern army that can be used by Xie Youyi. Li Zhen, the minister of the Ministry of War, was transferred from the Northern Army to the capital a while ago, and the saint mentioned Xie Youyi to replace Li Zhen in the position of Dingzhou, which shows the importance attached to him.

Which faction should the prince win over at present?

There is no doubt that several forces in the capital have not been able to converge, and the commander of the Gyeonggi Army, Xiang Nanchu, is a well-known Confucian general in the previous dynasty, and has never formed gangs.

Chen Bonan, the director of the Praetorian Guard, looks like a child, but he is actually holding back his heart. Chen Bonan and Xiao Zhengzhi got close, because the Chen family and the Wu family were related, on the other hand, Chen Bonan was Xiao Zhengzhi's companion.

The Northern Army is composed of the main forces and auxiliary armies of the northern states, and although Xie Youyi is now serving as deputy commander, he is actually the person who carries the crown of the Northern Army, and he responds to every call.

Wei Ning, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, is 36 years old, a distant nephew of General Wei, who passed on to General Wei a few years ago. Wei Ning made great achievements in resisting the raids of Rouran and Northern Yan.

General Wei once said when he returned to the new dynasty, "As long as the Southern Dynasty is still the Southern Dynasty, it doesn't matter who is in power." Our family guards the country for the sake of the people. ”

Wei Ning and Xiao Zhaozhi, the second son of Linjiang, cooperated with each other, and since the two of them sat in Jingzhou, the Jingzhou area was quite peaceful.

Thinking of Xiao Zhaozhi, Concubine Rong couldn't help but sigh, full of guilt. If Zhao Zhi hadn't changed since he was a child, why would he have grown into the perverse appearance he is now, angered the saint several times, and was sent to the bitter cold area of Jingzhou before he was fifteen years old. In the capital, Zhao Zhi was like a bird trapped in a cage, depressed all day long, and did not want to go to Jingzhou to show his talent in leading troops to fight.

Xiao Yue's strategic talent was all inherited by Xiao Zhaozhi.

The Linjiang Army has risen rapidly in recent years, and it should not be underestimated, and Zhao Zhi and Wei Ning have the friendship of comrades, so it is possible to consider winning over the National Defense Army faction when the time comes.

Among the five legions, the Dingzhou Army was the hardest, because it shouldered the heavy responsibility of resisting the Northern Yan, and the Dingzhou Army had the largest casualty rate every year. Nanzhao had an unwritten rule that whoever took over as commander of the National Defense Force would take command of the Dingzhou Army. In the past two years, there have been slight changes, Li Chengguang and Wei Ning have not been suspended from the Dingzhou Army, Li Zhen, who has been the head of the Ministry of War, personally commanded the Dingzhou Army, and this year Xie Youyi, who was transferred from the Southern Army to the Northern Army, was appointed deputy commander of the Dingzhou Army, and it is estimated that Li Zhen will step down as commander-in-chief in the near future, and Xie Youyi will be on the horse.

In this way, King Jing has signs of sitting big.

Who are the people on the side of the prince? Zhang Zhenghe, president of Central University, is a corrupt Confucian. Wen Tao, the director of the Museum of Chinese Culture, a literati, and the director of the Department of Civil Affairs, Yi Tiran, is optimistic that he will take over as the next head of the household department, but it will take at least three or five years.

Three or five years is enough to turn the situation upside down.

Chu Nan'an, the Minister of Rites, needless to say, will only be sloppy and talk about him left and right.

Han Jin listened to Rong Guifei's analysis, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked, thinking that the woman in front of her was no wonder able to sit in this position now, and she had been as stable as Mount Tai for many years in a place like the harem, which was no less dangerous than the previous dynasty.

From this point of view, the status of the prince's brother is indeed in jeopardy.

Xiao Junzhi listened to what his mother said, and said lightly, "In the world, there are capable people who sit on it." If there is no chance for loneliness, it can only mean that loneliness is not suitable. ”

Rong Guifei spoke bitterly, and when she heard her son say this, Huo got up, her face changed color, and she said sharply, "What did you say!" You entered the East Palace at the age of seven, and your father cultivated it carefully, and how many people worked hard to assist in teaching, so that one day you will reign in the world, take charge of the great treasure, and lead Nanzhao to go further. Now this frustration can't stand it? How did your father not know your situation? He stood by and watched, just to see how you can protect yourself and withstand the blow. ”

A trace of tiredness floated on Xiao Junzhi's clear eyebrows.

Seeing that her son was indifferent, Concubine Rong said coldly, "Become a king and lose a prince!" If you look at all dynasties, which prince who did not ascend the throne survived? You are not another prince, if you fail to ascend to the throne, maybe you can still be imprisoned for life and leave a life. The crown prince who failed to ascend to the throne has only one way to die! ”

Han Jin was shocked when he said this, think about it carefully, it's not like this!

Xiao Junzhi saw that he made his mother angry, and knew that she was a fist for herself, and it was really unfilial to make her mother worry about her, so she got up and knelt down in front of Rong Guifei and said, "Mother." Erchen has let you down. ”

Hearing Xiao Junzhi say this, Rong Guifei felt like a fist hitting the cotton, and she couldn't use her strength.

Rong Guifei said, "Prince, your fate, the fate of your mother, and Ah Jin's fate are all in your hands." ”

Hanjin's fate? Xiao Jun was stunned and looked at his mother in confusion.

Concubine Rong looked at her son fixedly and did not say a word.

Han Jin understood.

Rong Guifei was moved by Uncle Li's words.

Han Jin had mixed tastes for a while, and she didn't know where she was or how she felt.

After Rong Guifei finished speaking, she seemed to be unable to hold it anymore, and got up and walked out with weak steps, Han Jin hurriedly got up and held her arm, only to find that she was so thin.

This beauty, who is the lord of the six palaces, is the same age as the mother concubine, but she has more heart than the mother concubine.

"Ah Jin, come to my palace, I have a few words for you."

Han Jin replied respectfully, "Yes." ”
