Chapter 133: It's better to go back
It is said that Prince Changrong has a gentle and stocky temperament, but in Pei Ji's opinion, the person who said those words was simply blind!
Such a self-respecting royal highness, who is born to those who oppose her and obey her...... Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
After saying this, Mrs. Pei's eyes were full of heartbreak.
Pei Ji felt sorry in his heart, but he still hardened his heart, and said softly: "Madam, in fact, it is not useless for Ran'er to be brought back to Shangjing, think about it, since it is the person who the prince personally brought back to Shangjing, the rest of the people naturally dare not bully at will." β
"Moreover, the prince studied under a famous master and craftsman, and Ran'er followed her, even if he only learned one ten-thousandth of his ability, it was enough for him to use it for a lifetime."
Qi Changrong is not stupid, on the contrary, he is extremely smart.
The royal family is naturally good at calculation, Qi Changrong will not take a person away for no reason, she will take Ran'er away, just to let him have some scruples in his heart.
Mrs. Pei's eyes were hazy with tears: "Then what should we do now?" β
"What else can I do!" Pei Ji gritted his teeth, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth: "I can only solve the chaos in the southeast as soon as possible, and then ask for an order to return to Beijing!" β
Only in this way can the safety of that bastard be guaranteed.
But according to the current situation, if there is no decree from the imperial court, even if he does not sleep, he will not be able to return to Beijing to report on his work in at least three years.
However, although there is no need to forcibly return to Pei Ran, but his son was taken away, he can't say nothing at all......
In the long desert, Qi Changrong was dressed in a wide robe, although he couldn't gallop on horseback, his mood was clear and a little wider.
Jun Chen followed beside her, grabbed the reins and glanced back, and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness took Pei Ji's son away without permission, aren't you afraid that he will trouble you?" If he writes an impeachment note and sends it to the imperial capital, you will be in a hurry. β
Qi Changrong shook his head, looked at the front with cold eyes, and his tone was slightly cold: "Pei Ji is a smart person, he naturally knows that the advantages of taking Pei Ran alone outweigh the disadvantages, he may be angry, but he will never stop it." β
Junchen became interested: "Why? β
"It's reasonable, since Lone can't ask for Pei Ran's life, why should he stop it?" Qi Changrong said coldly: "If he wants to find trouble with Gu, he can't do it in Huangsha City, and he is waiting for the day when he returns to Beijing." β
Want to get her in trouble? Want to face the saint to impeach her? OK! But the prerequisite is to return to Beijing.
Jun Chen was momentarily captured by her momentum, couldn't help blinking, and then lowered his head and chuckled.
He saw through her purpose: "Is His Highness forcing Pei Ji to return to Beijing?" β
"You can't say that." Qi Changrong disagreed with Jun Chen's statement similar to a robber, and squinted at him to defend: "Of course, this matter depends on Pei Ji's wishes, if he still wants this son, he can naturally only return to Beijing, if he doesn't want it, he can't force it, isn't it?" β
Junchen shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal to her strong words.
Anyway, it's not his son, Qi Changrong naturally does whatever he wants.
It's just that he was pitiful for the young Pei Ran, who was 'kidnapped' in his sleep, and when he woke up and found that he was hundreds of miles away from home, he didn't know what to do.
However, although Pei Ran was pitiful, what was even more pitiful were the noble sons of Shangjing who were left in Huangsha City by Qi Changrong and couldn't cry.
The reason why the family behind them squeezed their heads and sent them into the hundred-person brigade was so that they could follow the autumn breeze of the East Palace and be rewarded by the emperor when they returned to Beijing.
It's a pity that Qi Changrong didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, so that all the plans of the family were in vain.
Since they came out together to quell the chaos, it is reasonable to keep them temporarily stationed when there are still hidden dangers, and no one can find anything wrong.
Thinking about it, Jun Chen's eyelids jumped, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart, and said silently: "Old fox." β
Hearing this, Yan Qing, who rode forward, disagreed: "The general's words are wrong. β
"What are you mixing again?" Jun Chen slanted at him, frowned, and said, "You can't help her talk everywhere just because you are the brother-in-law of the East Palace." β
This is really a bit offensive, and it is not impossible for a narrow-minded person to ask for the guilt on the spot.
Yan Qing first carefully looked at Qi Changrong, and when he saw that her expression was as usual, her eyes flashed, and she didn't take the offensive words to heart, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Qing smiled, and simply let go of his scruples: "You can't say that, Your Highness has a reason, I will help Your Highness speak, and if the general has a reason, I will help the general speak." β
Jun Chen was helpless in his heart, but in the end, Fa Xiao, who grew up together, was willing to follow him and ask: "Tell me, where is her truth?" β
"Well...... this" Yan Qing coughed, cleared his throat, and his tone dragged out, deliberately selling a pass.
When Jun Chen turned his face expressionlessly and didn't want to listen anymore, he cut to the chase.
"Those noble sons come from the families in Shangjing, most of them are the sons-in-law of the family, the next heir, the family is rich and powerful, keep them in Jianzhou, the families in Shangjing will inevitably scratch their hearts and lungs, even in order to confirm the situation of their children, they will also pay some attention to the southeast."
"And since His Royal Highness said that he would leave them to deal with the follow-up matters, it means that they are not allowed to return to Beijing if they can't handle it well, then when necessary, if those noble sons encounter something difficult to solve, in order to let them return to Beijing as soon as possible, the family behind them will have to take action."
Yan Qing smiled and squinted his eyes extremely obscenely: "Pei Ji is a smart person, he must be able to think of this relationship, as long as he makes good use of the relationship between the family and the noble sons, so that Jianzhou can be restored to prosperity, and he will get twice the result with half the effort." β
Speaking of which, those noble sons are the second guarantee left by Qi Changrong.
Just as she 'hijacked' Pei Ran and forced Pei Ji to make certain decisions, Pei Ji can also 'hijack' the nobles and make the family shackled.
After finishing speaking, Yan Qing had to sigh with Qi Changrong's great wisdom, which seemed to be quiet, but he played with many people in the palm of his hand.
This eldest brother of his is simply a man of God.
Of course, the prince's wisdom does not stop there, there is another point he doesn't say, he can only think about it in his heart.
The relationship between the court and the East Palace is ambiguous, and there are some courtiers' minions among those people, so the reason why the prince has to trap them is also to cut off their minions.
Three birds with one stone can be described as a miracle plan.
After Yan Qing finished speaking, Jun Chen couldn't help but look at Qi Changrong frequently, and the latter looked indifferent, as if he hadn't noticed the deep meaning in his eyes.
Yan Qing shook his head proudly, and asked Qi Changrong, "Your Highness, is Yan Qing's analysis right?" β
"Nine horses are clear-eyed, is there anything wrong?" Qi Changrong smiled, his expression was extremely relaxed: "It's good to take precautions and leave no hidden dangers, and if you take Pei Ji's son away, you naturally have to leave him with some comfort." β
If not, pushing people too hard will not only fail to achieve the goal, but may also have the opposite effect.
Relaxation is the truth.
Hearing her say this, Jun Chen and Yan Qing glanced at each other, and couldn't help but light three sticks of incense for the few noble sons who stayed in Huangsha City.
Pei Ji, who lost his son, was holding his breath in his heart and had nowhere to vent, if they accidentally bumped into his hand, even if they didn't die, they would have to peel off their skin.
Yan Qing secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and was even more convinced in his heart that he would not be able to offend this eldest brother if he offended anyone in the future.
If you really want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to hold a grudge, life and death are not under your control.
The speed of the horse team was very fast, and no one shouted that they were tired, and hurried down with all their might, and finally arrived at the first post station just before the darkness came.
The people at the post station had already learned the news, and knew that there would be a few people of high status passing through this place, and they ordered the people below one after another to let them wait for their lives.
Everyone turned over and dismounted, and the post house boy stepped forward to lead the horse to the stable behind to feed.
"The inn is ready, please come with me."
Qi Changrong nodded slowly and took the lead in taking a step.
The aristocratic demeanor of the whole body could barely be concealed, and the people who received it in the post station were even more cautious.
Jun Chen walked at the end, looked left and right, and suddenly asked, "What about Jiang You?" Why haven't you seen him all the time? β
Strange to say, since they completed the task ordered by Qi Changrong, Jiang You has been avoiding something, intentionally or unintentionally.
In such a small mansion as Pei's Mansion, they can't meet a few times a day.
In the past, I longed to stick to him for twelve hours to teach him strong martial arts, but now, ......
is a completely abnormal performance, and Jun Chen can't help but think about it.
At the mention of Jiang You, a smile crossed Yan Qing's eyes: "He and His Highness are having an awkward relationship, and now I am afraid that his anger has not subsided, so he simply retreats and is out of sight." β
It was only now that Junchen was a little interested in understanding the reason for their awkwardness.
Junchen said slowly: "I remember half a month ago, when I didn't leave, the two of them were fine. β
At that time, Jiang You and Qi Changrong experienced life and death together, and the two once cherished each other.
Of course, it is Jiang You's unilateral belief that 'sympathy for each other'.
"yes." Yan Qing nodded, and then sighed: "But too many things happened in the days you left. β
"Jiang You is still too naΓ―ve."
Hearing Yan Qing comment on his only apprentice, Jun Chen just let out a soft sigh without overdoing it.
His performance was too disappointing, Yan Qing was quite shocked, and continued to ask him without giving up: "Don't you want to know what happened during that time?" β
"I don't want to know." Jun Chen slowly refused, and said clearly: "The prince acts in an unorganized manner, and sometimes even I can't understand it, let alone Jiang You." β
If it weren't for the fact that one was the prince of the East Palace and the other was a cheap apprentice he collected, he wouldn't even want to ask.
If you have that time to worry, it is better to lie in bed and sleep a lot.
After finishing speaking, seeing that the person in charge of the post station was about to disappear around the corner of the corridor with Qi Changrong, Junchen took a step forward and followed unhurriedly.
Yan Qing scratched the back of her head, so she had to follow.
The post station has everything it needs, the hot water and meals have already been prepared, and under the service of the spring, Qi Changrong reluctantly used some, and the fatigue between his eyebrows could not be hidden.
