Chapter 438: Temptation on both sides
Li Xiaolu hurriedly stepped into the room with a stack of papers, "Your Highness, the library has been repaired, please take a look." ”
The prince took a slow sip of tea, "Put it down." ”
"Yes," Li Xiaolu stepped forward, put the paperwork on the book, and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, your subordinates have just received the news that Ning Jiu was sent out by the King of Chu. ”
"Where?"
"This ...... The subordinates haven't figured it out yet. ”
The crown prince glanced at him, "News from Jia Tong?" ”
"Yes, he complained to his subordinates, saying that the king of Chu relied on Ning Jiu and never sent him out to do errands."
The prince frowned slightly, "Is there any news from Wang Shi?" ”
Li Xiaolu shook his head, "No, Li Tianxing has no news, and neither does he, this matter is a bit strange, Your Highness, my subordinates guess, will Ning Jiu go to Jiangbei?" ”
"There is this possibility," the prince narrowed his eyes, and there was a gleam in his eyes, "Now, the north has agreed to divide the river and rule, and the north and the south have nothing to do with each other, and there is nothing to do in the north of the river, I think ......"
Zhuge Qianyu walked out of the inner room, "Your Highness, since the King of Chu wants a peaceful situation, the affairs of Jiangbei must be concluded immediately, if Ning Jiu really goes to Jiangbei, it will be very bad." ”
The crown prince looked at Li Xiaolu, "What does Mr. mean, do you understand?" ”
"My subordinates understand."
"Go ahead and do it."
"Yes," Li Xiaolu bowed respectfully and withdrew.
"Your Highness," Zhuge Qianyu sat down on the Taishi's chair and stroked his gray beard, "It seems that the King of Chu is wary of His Highness, and His Highness has to be prepared." ”
The prince smiled bitterly, "I have been preparing for so long, step by step to today, I thought that I could hit the capital in one go, dragged Murong Han off the dragon chair, and let out the evil anger fiercely, who knew that the king of Chu had left the stall halfway, and he had waited for so long to wait for a king of the south." ”
"I'm afraid this king of the south can't be counted." Zhuge Qianyu said: "The old man has been walking around the street for a few days, and I heard that the people call the king of Chu the monarch and the princess of Chu the queen. ”
"What does Sir, think?"
"The King of Chu is indifferent by nature, he is silent, his people are completely thanks to the princess of Chu, although His Royal Highness has not married, but His Royal Highness is a humble gentleman, has always been kind to people, His Royal Highness why not do some actions to be close to the people, leaving a good reputation, naturally can spread all over the world."
The prince thought for a moment, "What the gentleman said is very true, so just do what the gentleman says." ”
Zhuge Qianyu stood up and saluted: "Since this is the case, the old man will start to prepare, and His Royal Highness will need to cooperate at that time." ”
Zhuge Qianyu left, the prince's eyes stayed on the tube of tea on the table, this is the tea sent by Bai Qianfan last time, it has been placed on the table and has not moved, he looked at it for a while, picked it up and walked out of the door.
As soon as he came down from the verandah, he saw Murong Mian coming over, and he asked, "Is the third brother going to see me?" ”
"Yes," Murong Mian raised the roll of paper in his hand: "The drawings of the new hall are out, show them to the second brother." ”
"The third brother thinks it's okay, I don't have much research on these."
Murong Mian said, "This is the main hall of the proceedings, of course, the second brother must be satisfied." Doesn't the second brother understand feng shui, why don't you care about your own palace? ”
The crown prince smiled, "You laid down the country, and this monarch should be the third brother." The second brother is willing to assist......"
"What did the second brother say?" Murong Mian frowned: "I'm not interested in the king, this country was originally fought for the second brother, does the second brother still have an opinion on my refusal to cross the river?" ”
"No," the prince haha: "I also want to open, the first emperor said that water can carry boats, and it can also overturn boats, and the safety of the people must always come first." Fighting a civil war consumes the people's livelihood and national strength the most, and the truce is right. I mean, our brothers, no matter who is the monarch, there is no problem, since the third brother is not interested, then the second brother will bite the bullet, but he has been too busy recently to find time to go to Jinling, why don't the third brother run for me? ”
"That's no problem, you can take a look at the drawings first, if there is anything to be changed, I'll bring it back."
"On such a hot day, the third brother of Lao took a trip, and I thank my brother for being here." The prince arched his hand, handed over the tea leaves, and said with a smile, "This tea is still with the third brother, the tea before the rain is rare, don't let the princess take it and give it away." ”
mentioned the thing that Bai Qianfan did, Murong Mian smiled dumbly, with some spoiled helplessness, "She, she is such an unobtrusive person." ”
"This time the third brother goes to Jinling, will he bring the princess with him?"
Murong Mian looked up at the sky, and the white sun stabbed his eyes, "Forget it, Jinling is known as a furnace, she is afraid of heat, and she will suffer if she goes, anyway, it is not far away, and she can go back and forth in three days, and she will not be taken with her." ”
The prince quipped: "Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and the third brother must miss it tightly." ”
Murong Mian's affection can't avoid people, and there is nothing to avoid, and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of the second brother's jokes, I want to make her smaller and bring her in my pocket." ”
The prince laughed and pointed at him, "You, you, the dignified general of the god of war, end up folding under the little girl's pomegranate skirt." ”
Murong Mian smiled softly, "If the second brother meets someone he really likes, he will know the wonders," he paused, "The crown princess has been dead for so long, and the second brother hasn't thought of finding one?" ”
The prince shook his head silently, "I don't want to do that." ”
"Pearl, she'......"
"Zhu'er is a hard-working person, her heart for the third brother has never changed, I once persuaded her, but she didn't listen, and said that it was good to stay not far away. The third brother now has a princess, and he can't tolerate others in his heart, but Zhu'er has a different relationship with you, so the third brother should treat her kindly. ”
"I thought the second brother was ...... to Zhu'er"
"I think Zhu'er is my younger sister, that's how I was a child, why, I have taken care of her in the past few years, has the third brother misunderstood?"
Murong Mian looked at him, "I just think that the second brother should have someone around to take care of him." ”
The prince's eyes were open, "But that person won't be Zhu'er." ”
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled a little meaningfully, and the prince opened the topic: "I heard that you sent Ning Jiu out on an errand?" ”
"Well, let him pick someone up."
The prince's eyes flashed, "Pick up who?" ”
Murong Mian was silent for a moment, and said, "Hao Pingguan, the chief manager of my house, now that life is stable, I have to have a steward by my side, the princess is back, the expenses are big, and there is no one to manage the accounts." ”
The prince laughed when he heard this, "This is the truth, marrying a girl will cost you so much silver, if you marry a few more, the dignified prince of Chu will not be bankrupt." ”
