Chapter 386: Helpless
Wuxian put the token in his arms on the table, and told all the situation during the day, from the capital to the mountains and forests where he led people to assassinate Liu Jin today.
But for him, it was only a distance that could be reached in two hours, but the light work of the dead soldiers under his command was not as good as his, so he delayed his return.
Xing Tianze slowly drank the tea in the cup, and Li Dai Tao was extremely clever in his hands, if he could open the relationship between Liu Jin and the emperor because of this, he would have to spend a lot of time after the province.
The time of the night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Xing Tianze entered the palace alone, and said in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in the Jinluan Palace that he was ready to marry Xing Ling to Liu Jing.
Suddenly aroused the discussion of the Manchu Dynasty, and the emperor's face sitting on the dragon chair became extremely ugly.
Although the emperor values Liu Jin very much, but the latter is now a prince who has a heavy army and has been guarding one side, if he marries the princess to his son again, wouldn't it make the strength of the Liu family go to a higher level?
If Liu Jin has any rebellion in the future, he will have to deal with two people who want to make trouble at the same time.
The emperor's heart immediately fell into a deep struggle, he didn't want to give Liu Jin such a big opportunity.
No matter how deep Liu Jin's power is in the west, the land in the west is wild and bitter cold, although there are soldiers and horses who dare to fight, but even if the Liu family has been operating for decades, it is far inferior to the capital.
The emperor stared at Xing Tianze tightly, knowing very well in his heart that this was a good move set for him by the fifth child.
If he refuses, Liu Jin will definitely be estranged from him, but if he agrees, he will definitely have endless troubles in the future.
Xing Tianze, who was standing in place, was not panicked at all, on the contrary, the more entangled the emperor was at this time, the better it would be for him, and it was best to delay Liu Jin until he returned to Beijing and not give him a perfect answer.
Finally, at the end of the early dynasty, the emperor finally made up his mind to oppose Xing Tianze's request and disbanded.
When Liu Jin arrived only ten miles away from the capital, Wuji had already sent someone to erect a pergola on the side of the road, and at the same time he was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.
A guard stopped Liu Jin and the others, and invited both his father and son over, at this time, Wuxian opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Jing's body.
"The general has guarded the frontier for the country for many years, and this time he has worked tirelessly to return to Beijing. Traceless smiled and picked up his glass.
Liu Jin took a deep look at Traceless, thought for a moment and waved his right hand: "The Traceless Prince has admired the name for a long time, but although this place is under the jurisdiction of the capital, it is still ten miles away, so it is important to travel and drink alcohol." ”
Even though Liu Jin has been at the border for many years, he knows everything about Wuji and Xing Tianze, and it is precisely because of this that he understands how terrifying this young man is.
The whole world dares to drink the wine prepared by Wuxian unscrupulously, I am afraid that I can count it on one hand, but it is obvious that Liu Jin does not have the courage at this time.
He still had doubts in his heart and needed to rush back to the capital to prove and ask the emperor for a token.
At this time, Liu Jing picked up a glass of wine on the table and touched it with the traceless wine glass: "My father has not drunk alcohol for many years, and today this glass of thin wine was drunk by General Ben for him." ”
"The young general is really a young hero!" Watching Liu Jing drink all the wine in one gulp, and also turned the quilt upside down to show him, the smile on Wuji's face became even richer.
"At the same time, I would like to congratulate General Liu Jin!" Traceless put down the wine glass in his hand.
Liu Jin frowned and asked where this joy came from?
Traceless smiled and explained: "The general doesn't know anything, not long ago, the emperor handed over the lifelong affairs of Princess Xing Ling to my prince, and when he came down to greet the general today, the prince told me that he felt that the young general was the best man in the world, and the Liu family had made great contributions to the country of Xingzhao, so he intended to be a matchmaker between the young general and the princess." ”
After hearing this, Liu's father and son's faces instantly changed into two looks, Liu Jin's brows furrowed even tighter, of course he knew what it meant to be in-laws with the emperor.
thinks that all the feats he has made in his life have been obtained through nine deaths and a lifetime of fighting, and he has such a son as Liu Jing under his knees, so of course I hope that he will be able to get a good family in the future.
The princess is indeed qualified to be the daughter-in-law of their Liu family, but if Xing Tianze is the matchmaker, Liu Jin's heart is full of doubts.
all know that the relationship between the five princes and the emperor is quite delicate, and the Liu family is the most powerful chess piece in the emperor's hands, if the latter two are completely condensed into a force, it is definitely not a situation that Xing Tianze wants to see.
Liu Jing's face was full of smiles, the prince was the matchmaker and the princess became in-laws, and he also got the emperor as his father-in-law, which was undoubtedly a big event for him to enter the house.
At that moment, Liu Jing took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Wuxian and drank it.
"It's good that the young general likes this family business." Traceless smiled and tapped the drink in his glass.
"What does General Ben need to do for the Fifth Prince's move?" Liu Jin suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
At the same time, he also glanced at Liu Jing, and the smile on the latter's face made Liu Jin sigh in his heart, compared to young people like Wuji and Xing Tianze, his own son is really not a little worse.
"The Admiral is a smart man and should understand what that means." Traceless put down the glass in his hand again.
As soon as he got out of his chair, one of the guards led a white horse, and the group hurried in the direction of the capital.
At the same time, Xing Tianze was sitting with Tao Mingxi on the lake in the palace fishing.
Yin Pingzhen has already sent news, although they have removed many dark spots in the Heavenly Hell along the way, but so far no Heavenly Hell masters have appeared.
In addition, the news that Wuxian and Liu Jin entered the capital soon spread, Schrödinger frowned and looked at the information in his hand and sighed deeply.
He secretly thought to himself in his heart: "In the end, the five princes are still superior, this game with Liu Jin has not officially started, the emperor has already lost half of it, and if he wants to bring the situation back in the future, it will become difficult." ”
When Wuxian returned to the palace, Xing Tianze was staying in Tao Mingxi's courtyard, and the latter was telling the cook how to boil fish soup.
Xing Tianze took a peach from the table and threw it to Wuji.
"This is the full moon peach that Nanjun paid tribute to this year?" Traceless looked at the peach in his hand that was quite colorful and not small, and was surprised.
Half a month ago, when the drought in Nanjun was transmitted to the capital, the emperor ordered the official Shangshu to lead 50,000 stone of grain to the disaster relief.
Traceless's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, but under the drought, the peaches are still growing so well? Why was the grain dried?
Xing Tianze saw his thoughts at a glance, stepped forward and patted his arm lightly and said, "This is a good opportunity." ”
