Chapter 19: Balance
In half a night, Shangguan Jin repeated these actions almost countless times, and then he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to point a few points on Qin Miaomiao, and Qin Miaomiao stopped moving.
When Qin Miaomiao woke up on the second day, she found that she couldn't move, and Shangguan Jin beside her had long since disappeared.
Her face turned red, knowing that she should have been pointed, so she scolded a few words: "Shangguan Jin, you have been cut by a thousand knives!" Don't let me see you again! ”
Later, if Xiao Liang hadn't noticed that something was wrong, and when he entered the house and saw Qin Miaomiao being pointed, he asked Qin Shan to come over to solve the acupoint, Qin Miaomiao would probably have to stiffen for another day.
After Qin Shan finished solving the acupoint, he came over with a serious face and said curiously: "Is that kid strong?" ”
The corners of Qin Miaomiao's mouth twitched, and she was very helpless in her heart.
At this time, in the palace of Emperor Sucheng, in the court.
"Your Majesty, as the prince of my Ming Ye Dynasty, His Royal Highness is unfavorable to suppress bandits, and he has no merits, so he really shouldn't hand over his military power to him for safekeeping."
It was Duan Ting, the chief secretary of the Ming Ye Dynasty, who said this, and this person was the force around the three princes.
The emperor handed over the White Tiger token, which represents military power, to Shangguan Jin when he suppressed the bandits before, although the reason was to suppress the bandits, but now that Shangguan Jin has returned to the court, he has not taken back the token, which can't help but make the forces under the other princes jealous.
The White Tiger Token is an important item that can be ordered to be used by the Su Jiajun for his own use, everyone knows that the Su Jiajun is the largest military force in the Ming Ye Dynasty, if it can be used by others, it must be like a tiger with wings, so all the princes who want to participate in the battle for the crown prince want to get this power.
Now that this token has fallen into the hands of the inconspicuous Seven Princes, some people are naturally unhappy in their hearts.
"Lord Siqing, what you said is not right, it is Your Majesty's freedom to give the token to which prince, besides, the Seventh Prince's martial arts are superb, and the art of war he has read is no less than that of other princes, so he deserves this military power! The failure of the bandits was not the reason for the Seventh Highness, it was only because of the dangerous terrain and the bandits were too cunning! ”
Su Cheng walked out of the ministers and refuted Duan Ting's words.
When Duan Ting heard Su Cheng's words, he laughed mockingly: "General Su is so protective of the Seventh Highness, people who don't know still think that you have any friendship with the Seventh Highness, you must know that the prince and the courtiers are not allowed to form a party for personal gain!" ”
"You!" Su Cheng was speechless for a while, and looked at Duan Ting for a long time unable to speak.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
The middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the jade steps of the court frowned, looking like a sign of anger.
Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, all the ministers who were talking about it were silent one by one.
"Duan Siqing, General Su, you two don't argue anymore, I have a certain decision in my heart about this matter."
Hearing Emperor Ming Ye say this, the two of them couldn't say anything more, so they could only be silent.
After going down, Su Cheng went straight to Shangguan Jin's mansion.
After coming to Shangguan Jin's mansion, Shangguan Jin ordered his subordinates to serve tea to receive him, and Su Cheng told Shangguan Jin everything that happened today.
Shangguan Jin's mother, Concubine Shufei Nie, and Su Cheng's father were close friends, and Su Cheng also admired Shangguan Jin, so the two became friends.
Shangguan Jin listened to Su Cheng's words and fell into deep thought.
"My father gave me this token, not because he suddenly discovered my talent, but because he found that the power of the three emperor brothers occupies most of the power in the court, and in order to balance it and not overdo it, he chose me to take over the military power."
In the content of the back, Su Cheng also guessed one or two.
"Then Your Highness thinks who is most likely to win the crown prince?"
Shangguan Jin was silent, looking at Su Cheng and pondering, and finally he asked Su Cheng: "What do you think of giving me the position of prince?" ”
"You want to participate in the battle for the crown prince?" Su Cheng was taken aback.
Shangguan Jin didn't say it, Su Cheng only became Shangguan Jin is a tacit acquiescence, and Su Cheng finally thought deeply: "Although His Royal Highness seems to love the people like a son, in fact, he is scheming, and the third Highness has a wide range of influence, but he is irritable and irritable, and he is unbearable, not to mention other Highnesses, if it is His Highness, it should be extremely suitable." ”
Seeing Su Cheng say these words so seriously, Shangguan Jin just looked cold.
He didn't want to fight for the position of the prince, but if he didn't fight, what could he get, these royal brothers looked like dogs, but in fact, they were more ruthless than the other, but if they were really allowed to ascend the throne, then they would definitely become superfluous grass in their eyes, and they would always be removed quickly.
"Since His Highness has decided so, I don't have much to say, but if His Highness is useful to the ministers in the future, although he said bluntly, if the ministers have the ability, they will definitely help!" Su Cheng clenched his fists and said solemnly.
"Then I'm here to thank General Su."
……
The heavy rain was empowered, forming one small puddle after another on the ground, and in the small pavilion of Shangguan Yu's mansion, Lian You and Shangguan Yu were playing against each other.
Shangguan Yu was dressed in a white moire robe, the black spot in his hand was settled, and the outcome of a game of chess had been decided.
"The minister lost." Lian You sighed.
Shangguan Yu put the chess pieces into the urn without changing his face, re-dropped the pieces, and landed the sunspots in the center of the chessboard.
"It's not about winning or losing, it's about who plays chess." Shangguan Yu's tone was light, as if he was saying something very inconspicuous.
Lian You nodded, and after dropping a word, he said to Guan Yu as if he remembered something: "Your Highness, have you heard about what happened in the court today?" ”
"I know, anyone who has a little more distraction can see that my father is stabilizing the balance of power in the court, but the eldest secretary can't understand what my father means like a nightmare."
"Hmph, that old thing really knows the same thing as his master, and there is nothing to be afraid of!" Lian You said with a look of disdain on his face.
"The general has lost again."
When Lian You reacted, the situation on the chessboard was decided.
"Your Highness is good at chess, and the minister can't forget it." Lian You hugged his fists.
"General, the most important thing in playing chess is the heart of the chess player, the chess player is the layout person and the spectator, the bystander's eyes are clear, but also the heart is calm, otherwise it will become someone else's chess." This means that Lian You's heart is impetuous.
Lian You naturally understood what Shangguan Yu meant, and the admiration in his eyes deepened: "It's the minister who is too impatient, thank you Your Highness for breaking your word." ”
Shangguan Yu looked out of the pavilion, the heavy rain was pouring, but in Shangguan Yu's eyes, it was calm without the slightest wave, but it was broken by a gloomy sound.
"It seems that the Ming Ye Dynasty is going to change the sky......"
……
Shangguan Jin pondered Qin Miaomiao's quiet sleeping face yesterday in the study, raised his hand to pick up the wolf hair and gently traced it on the paper, and after a while, the face of a beautiful woman appeared, which was Qin Miaomiao's portrait.
Looking at this portrait, a trace of warmth crossed Shangguan Jin's heart.
