Chapter 191: It's okay to give some face

"The four princes and the three princes have been competing against each other for many years, and every time Concubine Liu Xian catches the slightest mistake of the four princes, she can't wait to make trouble known to the world. Now the rumors that the four princes framed the six princes for falling off the horse have been banned repeatedly, but why did Concubine Liu Xian only dare to scold the four princes in her own palace, but did not dare to sue the emperor? Han Weici picked up the tea, skimmed off the tea foam, and took a sip, "And the four princes let the rumors against him spread, but there was no refuge, the emperor once asked, and then there was no follow-up, why should you?" ”

"Could it be ......" Jiang Chang frowned and thought for a while, "The emperor deliberately favors the four princes?" ”

Han Weici glanced at him and was speechless for a while, "Murdering the prince is a big crime. In addition, although the fourth prince and the sixth prince have no brotherly affection, they have the name of brothers, and he harms the six princes to mutilate his siblings. Since ancient times, the royal family has been in good shape, but the emperor is still on the throne, and the princes below are so blatantly killing their siblings, and the emperor will be chilled if he favors the four princes. The four princes would not do such a thing as lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot. "Even if the fourth prince really has this idea, the first one to deal with should be the third prince, and the limited value of the six princes is not worth his hands.

Combined with Han Wei's words, Jiang Chang's mind was clear for a moment, and he felt that what he said was very reasonable. He nodded and said, "Being able to be seen by others so easily is full of flaws. No matter how anxious the four princes were to get rid of the six princes, they would not make such a clumsy move. But if it's not the Four Princes, could it be that Concubine Liu Xian and the Six Princes directed and acted by themselves? ”

After Jiang Changchang finished speaking, he felt that it was unlikely. It is said that the leg bones of the six princes were broken, and if the follow-up maintenance is not done properly, it is likely to be lame. The third prince is a son, and the sixth prince is also a son, and the tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that Concubine Liu Xian has always doted on the six princes.

"Five days ago, a secret report came from the south, saying that Xuanlang's cavalry had been found in the Pinghu Pass at the junction of Xuanlang and Dawan." Han Wei's tone was flat and undulating.

Jiang Chang was taken aback, "Xuan Lang and Dawan are going to war?" "Dawan's little emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, I'm afraid that the dragon chair has not yet sat down, and starting a war with Xuan Lang at this time will definitely do more harm than good. The little emperor can't think so? "No, Xuan Lang and Da Wan have maintained a marriage for many years, it is said that Emperor Xuan Lang is still the uncle of Da Wan's little emperor, with this relationship, the little emperor can step on a group of brothers to ascend the throne smoothly, and now it is a trouble?"

"If Xuan Lang had a heart for Dawan, he would not have come to the aid of Dawan in the civil strife back then. Xuan Lang kept Dawan because he wanted to combine the strength of the two countries to deter the nomadic tribes in the northwest, and to increase the weight of the confrontation with Dahong. Now that my Dahong is still prosperous, and the threat of the nomadic tribes has not been solved, Xuan Lang and Dawan are afraid that there will be no chance to go to war in a hundred years. ”

Jiang Changyuan was a little confused, and said a little irritably: "Then what does Xuan Lang want to do?" It's not like to use troops against Dahong. Jiang Changchang just said it casually, but after speaking, he was very excited. The Pinghu Pass at the junction of Xuanlang and Dawan is less than 100 miles away from Yanguicheng in the south of Dahong, but there are only 30,000 guards in Yanguicheng.

Compared with Jiang Chang's change of color when he heard about the war, Han Weiqi was very calm, "The object that Xuanlang wants to fight may not be Dahong. ”

"Is there a situation?" This kind of thing is marching and fighting, Jiang Changchang knows that he can't keep up with a hundred of them, so seeing that he is so calm, his heart is also stable, "It's not for Dahong or for Dawan, is it possible...... Is it to southern Xinjiang? Jiang Changyuan remembered the rumors he heard before, and his face changed again, "A few days ago, I faintly heard that the eldest prince who disappeared Xuan Lang died five or six years ago, and his bones were used as nourishment for the rotten Gu of the earth, which caused chaos in Lindu for a while at the end of last year, is this true?" ”

Han Weici raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Changyuan, seeing that his face was uncertain and his expression was inexplicable, he narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "It can't be fake, it can't be fake." What's more, the eldest prince of Xuanlang has been missing for many years, and once the death is confirmed, Emperor Xuanlang is only grieving for a few days, and the Xuanlang government and the opposition are not necessarily really sad. It was the cause of his death that gave Xuan Lang a good excuse. ”

Jiang Changchang lowered his head, his eyebrows slightly gloomy. He didn't doubt Han Weici's statement at all, it seemed that Xuan Lang was really going to send troops to southern Xinjiang. If there is an enemy attack, I don't know if they will turn the war into a jade silk, or take advantage of the east wind to completely crush the other party. No matter what the situation is, the three kingdoms are at war in Pinghu Mountain, and Dahong cannot guarantee that he will not be involved.

Jiang Chang thought that the king of Nanxiang was the most powerful weapon for Dahong to resist foreign enemies, and after the old prince of Nanxiang and the princess of Nanxiang passed away one after another, Han Weizhi inherited the throne and has fought no less than 100 battles in the south and the north. If Han has not resigned from the south, then the sister ......

Jiang Changchang glanced at Jiang Changxi, who was talking to the old lady, pursed his lips and said, "This matter has something to do with the fall of the sixth prince from the horse?" ”

Han Weiqi nodded and said, "The emperor intends to let the four princes lead troops to Yangui City. ”

Jiang Chang's mind turned, and he immediately figured out the key to it, "The four princes lead the troops to support Yan Guicheng, which is equivalent to having military power in their hands, and they are also the first among the princes." Although it is far away from Lindu, it is still a threat to hold the military power. If the four princes have the ability to make military achievements in the south, it will be even more difficult for the other princes to stand out. The third prince was panicked. ”

"Not bad." Han Wei said: "Although the four princes are far away from Lindu, it is not as convenient as the three princes to meddle in many things in the court, but the three princes are not single-handed, and there is no one to check and balance. And the four princes are gone, and in time, the southern Xinjiang forces will be brought under their command. So the third prince panicked, or Concubine Liu Xian panicked, and in a panic, she made a stupid decision.

"The emperor is still in the prime of life, and his body has always been healthy, and he has no idea of establishing a prince for the time being, and in the next few years, the third prince and the fourth prince will still have to fight." Jiang had a headache when he thought about it for a long time. Originally, he was in the forbidden army, and many things in the court could not affect him. But now that he is about to inherit it, I heard An reveal in his early years that day, and the emperor seems to have another call for him......

"The prince seized the heir, the brothers fought, and the dynasties subsided when did the dynasties subside. As many people are involved, as many as they are involved. The Nanxiang Wangfu has only served the emperor so far, and you and I are both in-laws, and it is not impossible for me to remain neutral under my influence. "Han Wei resigned, this is pointing out the way forward for Jiang Changchang.

Jiang Changchang is not stupid, and he can get through before he is cold. He nodded and said, "Back then, I had a small conflict with the Sixth Prince, and my father was neutral for many years. Now that I have inherited my father's title, I naturally have to inherit my father's style and bones, and keep up with Nanxiang Wangfu. ”

Han Weiqi smiled, nodded lightly and flatly, and did not speak again.

Seeing that they seemed to have finished talking, Jiang Changxi, who had been paying attention to them for a long time, smiled at this time: "What are you whispering?" Chatted for a long time? ”

Jiang Changchang was about to speak, but before he could leave, he smiled gently at Jiang Changxi, and said, "I'm talking about when the eldest brother will go to see a good life, so that he can be hired by the Anguo Mansion." ”

Jiang Changxi listened to the letter, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Changchang with an earnest expression, "Brother, have you finished talking to Sister An?" ”

Jiang Changjun's face was slightly red, and he glared at Han Wei, "You know again?" ”

"Such a happy event, I can't help but know it." Han Weiqi put down the teacup and said lightly.

Jiang Changchang snorted, and although he was embarrassed to look at Shangjiang Changxi's eager eyes, he could only nod stiffly, "She answered me, and An Shizi didn't object." ”

"Ah, that's a great event. Now our family is double happy. Jiang Changxi smiled and narrowed his eyes, took the old lady's hand and asked, "Grandmother, have you picked a date for your brother?" When will you be hired by the Anguo Princess? ”

"It's a matter of no sooner rather than later." Han did not resign.

Jiang Changchang remembered that the two of them said that there would be a war in the south, and he didn't know what the situation would be at that time, but he couldn't help but have a lot of dreams at night, and his marriage with An Zaoyu was indeed set early.

"Grandmother......" Jiang Changchang also looked at the old lady.

The old lady was stunned by the three of them, and was quite speechless for a while, and said with a smile: "I originally thought that Xi'er had just gotten married, and now it is the end of the year, and the people in various provinces are in contact. Thinking about it, the old lady understood again, "Sister Yu of the Guogong Mansion is indeed one of the best in a million, and how many people with sons are staring at it, and they are indeed at ease." ”

Jiang Changchang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted respectfully to the old lady: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

"Your marriage is decided, and the inheritance is also on the agenda." The old lady also sighed with emotion, "You have all grown up, there are successors to the Hou Mansion, and my old bones should also rest." ”

"Let's have lunch at Fukang Hall at noon. After lunch, you take the prince and your sister to walk around the mansion, discuss the dowry, draw up a list as soon as possible, and then see what needs to be added. ”

Jiang Changchang, Han Weixi, and Jiang Changxi should be, and Jinyu went out to pass the meal.

After a short time, lunch was put on the table, and the three of them accompanied the old lady to have lunch before leaving Fukang Hall.

Walking along the path to the garden and entering the water pavilion, Jiang Changxi smiled all the way, watching Jiang Changchang teasing and funny.

Jiang Changchang was a little uncomfortable by her, coughed with his hand to his lips, and his eyes signaled, "If you look at me like this again, aren't you afraid of someone's vinegar?" ”

Jiang Changxi put up his cold arm, smiled affectionately and lovingly, and was wonderful, "You are all the people who are going to be married, you have a husband with a wife, and you are not fragrant, who loves to eat your vinegar." Right? Jiang Changxi shook his cold arm, full of coquettishness, and seemed to have a little flattery.

Han Weiqi was still a little depressed, but now seeing her so delicate and gentle, her mood instantly soared, the corners of her lips hooked, and she followed her words and said to Jiang Chang with disgust: "Yes." ”

Jiang Chang, who was flashed into his eyes by this scene, was depressed, "Hey, hey, am I so useless?" Is it okay to give some face? ”
