Princess's House.

There was a carriage parked at the door, and the little eunuch who was tethering the horse, when he saw the two of them, he trotted over, and his face was full of indescribable joy: "See the county lord of Liyang, Miss Si." ”

"Did Brother Chengheng come to play with me again?"

This person is Zhou Chengheng's personal eunuch, Si Jing couldn't help but light up when he saw him, and asked happily.

"Yes."

The little eunuch got up and replied with a smile: "When the fourteenth prince was in the palace, he often talked about Miss Si, and he didn't get a good thing, so he brought it over and showed it to the eldest princess, the county lord of Liyang, and Miss Si." ”

"Cousin, let's go inside."

Because Si Jing practiced martial arts, he didn't have anything to say to the nobles who were good at stroking the piano and painting, and among his peers, Zhou Chengheng was a partner.

The two are also very playful.

After going in.

Inside the yard.

The eldest princess was holding a book and sitting on a round stool, opposite Zhou Chengheng, who looked a little nervous, only to hear him stumble a little back: "That's why the princes are the sons of heaven, yes, yes-"

"It's a mistake."

Si Jing saw that he was struggling to carry it, and couldn't help but speak, and walked over to remind: "It's the people, not the princes." ”

"Oh."

Zhou Chengheng first suddenly realized, and then showed a look of shame, his originally fair face suddenly turned red, and the corner of his eyes cautiously looked at the eldest princess's expression.

At this time.

A parrot with bright feathers suddenly flew over and said with its mouth open: "The eldest princess is auspicious, the eldest princess is auspicious." ”

Look at this little thing.

The eldest princess put down the book in her hand, got up and handed the well-behaved parrot to Si Jing, and said with a smile: "Back and forth, it's these two sentences, you and Cheng Heng can play with them and teach it two other sentences." ”

"Okay."

Si Jing saw the "human talking" bird for the first time, and after carefully letting it stand on his arm, he pulled Zhou Chengheng to run aside.

The two walked a little farther away.

Yin Cai sat on the other side, holding a cup of tea, looked at Zhou Chengheng's back, shook his head, and said meaningfully: "Mother, in my opinion, he is not as good as his grandfather, he looks smart, but he is just more than enough." ”

There are more than 20 princes in the palace.

The mother concubine died early, and he was at the bottom of the prince's circle, and the favored eunuchs and palace maids could not raise a simple and innocent heart under the premise that they could throw him face.

As long as there is a chance to climb up, it will be like a life-saving straw, and Zhou Chengheng is no exception.

There are 3,000 harem concubines.

There is only one sister, not to mention that she is a mother, who grew up together since childhood, and has deep feelings, needless to mention.

As long as you can hug the thigh of the eldest princess, nothing else, at least you can brush your presence in Emperor Qingping, for Zhou Chengheng, a transparent prince, it is tantamount to turning over a salted fish.

It's just that.

In terms of maternal background and intelligence, the eldest princess obviously has a better choice, why would she throw an olive branch to Zhou Chengheng?

Hear my daughter's words.

"Of course."

The eldest princess's eyebrows fluttered, her face showed a proud look, she has always been proud of the first emperor's father, and she also regretted that her younger brother Emperor Qingping had a cowardly and compromising character.

Zhou Chengheng certainly followed the mediocrity of Emperor Qingping, but in the same way, a nephew with such a character is also easy to handle.

There is no one who does not aspire to power.

She lowered her voice, the corners of her mouth smiled, rubbed the edge of the teacup in her hand, and said slowly: "But Cai'er, you must know that the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and it is better to work from the dragon." ”

Those nephews who were born proudly and were born to favorite concubines were spoiled, how could they listen to her aunt?

Only those who support themselves can make people feel at ease.

See that the eldest princess has her own decision.

Yin Cai took a sip of tea, and didn't ask any more, since ancient times, in the whirlpool of power, treacherous, open and secret fighting is the norm, and family affection is mixed with interests, and it will also change the taste.

I'm just a tasker, just keep the daughter of luck.

As the mother and daughter expected.

Emperor Qingping's agreement to give Bai Ru to Tulu was a major decision-making mistake, he not only committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy, but also treated others with himself, and underestimated the feelings of the director Ke for Bai Ru.

In his opinion, women are like clothes, the old does not go to the new, the Haiyan River is clear, and the stability of the border city is the most important, which is the imperial mentality.

But for Director Ke.

Bai Ru's words were enough for him to abandon his family and country, throw away all the glory he once had, betray the Central Plains, and throw himself into the arms of Beiran.

When the news came.

The court was shocked, and even some ministers refused to believe it, until the evidence was in front of them, and the matter of the director's rebellion was also a huge blow to morale.

The general who once led them to break Beiran became an enemy in the blink of an eye, and he also led the Beiran people to attack the border city.

This magical scene was unacceptable to many soldiers.

Fortunately.

Although the deputy general Zhou Ran was ordered to be in danger, he arranged the troops in an orderly manner, temporarily blocking the attack of the Beiran people, and also weakened the advantage of the division chief Ke.

Morning upwards.

The first is to appoint Zhou Ran as a general, and the second is to remove the director Ke, a traitor, from the position of general, and put his wife and son who are still in the capital in prison for investigation.

The news spread very quickly.

When Yin Cai rushed over, the plaque of the General's Mansion had already been taken off, and angry people rushed up and trampled on it, if it weren't for the officials to stop them, I am afraid that their fists would have smashed directly into Luo Wan's mother and son.

Although no violence was directly used.

But rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs are indispensable, and the surrounding waves of scolding, one after another, spitting stars want to drown people.

And in the middle.

Si Jing is not a tall body, she is protecting Luo Wan to the death, tears of bean size gather in her eyes, she gritted her teeth, she couldn't say a word, she felt ashamed.

It's the guard next to him.

He still looked arrogant, shook off the jailer's hand, and said angrily: "I am the son of the director Ke, I am the son of the general, and my father is fighting the Beiran people in the border city, how dare you do this to me?" ”

The voice did not fall.

A rotten egg smashed into his head with unmistakable accuracy.

Luo Wan endured her sadness, helped her son wipe his face clean, her voice trembled several times, and she didn't tell the truth about Si Changke's rebellion, but turned to Si Jing and pleaded: "Jing'er, is there any misunderstanding in this, you go to the eldest princess, go to the county lord of Liyang, and let them investigate clearly." ”

She said.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that for the sake of Bai Ru, Director Ke could really do things like abandoning his wife and children and betraying the Central Plains.

Si Jing nodded vigorously and agreed with tears: "I know, mother, father will never do such a thing, you and my brother must wait for me, I will definitely investigate clearly!" ”
