The three of them were silent, and suddenly heard a noise outside, and then the door was slammed open, and Cheng Qingyue broke in with an angry face.

"Lord Wang, Miss Cheng insists on coming in, but the slave can't stop her." The maidservant Xiaolian cautiously reported.

Jiang Yichen said softly: "It's okay, you go down."

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Sister Qingyue, come on, come on, have a drink with Brother Junyan!" As soon as Xiao Junyan looked at people, he couldn't say it well, so he hurriedly greeted with a smile.

Cheng Qingyue glared at him, Xiao Junyan put away his smile, and took back the wine glass handed out with interest.

"Yue'er."

Seeing Cheng Qingyue, Jiang Yichen's eyes were like the sunshine in spring, and they suddenly became warm and soft.

Cheng Qingyue's face was stunned, "The prince is really good Yaxing, the weather is so cold, and he has to come to this Cuihong Mansion to have fun at the risk of coughing and disease!" ”

Xiao Junyan hurriedly explained: "Sister Qingyue, you misunderstood, we are not here to have fun, I brought Brother Jiang here to discuss wine and poetry, you don't have to blame Brother Jiang."

Cheng Qingyue snorted coldly: "Come to Qinglou to discuss wine and poetry, Xiao Gongzi, your taste is really unique."

Xiao Junyan smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

"Qingyue has no right to ask what the prince wants to do, but before the master leaves, he will hand over the prince to my care, and I will be responsible for the prince's physical safety. Now that the prince doesn't listen to the advice, Qingyue has to take care of it, and asks the prince to think twice for the sake of his body! After speaking, Cheng Qingyue turned around and left.

"Sister Yue'er, Sister Yue'er, you wait for me!" I don't know when, Lu Wanying has come to the door, she saw Cheng Qingyue rushing out with an angry face, and chased her out.

"It's over, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, I just offended the tigress, and I offended your vinegar jar, I can't live this day." Xiao Junyan looked up to the sky and wailed.

Jiang Yichen ignored Xiao Junyan, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, he didn't laugh angrily, and the haze in his heart dissipated.

Xiao Junyan saw Jiang Yichen's carefree face, and sighed: "It seems that you are used to it, do you know?" I sympathize with you now, I want you to be a prince, not only to pretend to be sick in the palace to deceive your two fine wives, but also to be disciplined by Qingyue girls from time to time, it's really not easy! ”

Jiang Yichen said expressionlessly: "I don't bother Brother Xiao about my business!" After speaking, he turned his head and asked Chang Rui: "Is there any movement there in Cui Hao?"

Oh, Chang Rui came back to his senses, and then reported: "The letter said that he still has a neutral attitude on the surface, but behind his back he is also waiting for General Yang."

Jiang Yichen's eyes became deep, "This old fox, the tail finally can't be hidden." ”

"What, he's going to intervene too?" Xiao Junyan asked.

"Hmph, he has maintained a neutral attitude all these years, neither attached to the prime minister's party, nor attached to Li Wei, but he can find a corner in their cracks, and he has won the emperor's trust, and his mind can be described as unfathomable. I think he has already seen that the emperor wants to overthrow the prime minister's family, so he is looking for an opportunity to replace the prime minister. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and if he succeeds, he will inevitably rise to become a new force to replace the Prime Minister's Party and compete with Li Wei. ”

Chang Rui asked puzzledly: "Even if the prime minister's party falls, with his strength, compared with Chen Guifei's party who have been favored for many years, the disparity in strength is still very large?"

"He doesn't need much strength, he just needs to have the emperor's trust, don't forget, Chen Guifei Li Wei's generation back then was also under the support of the emperor, and climbed step by step from an unknown junior to today's high position."

Chang Rui suddenly realized: "My subordinates understand, the prime minister is one party and one party is down, Chen Guifei is the only party, and the emperor needs another force to compete with him to balance the political forces, and he will definitely vigorously support him."

"Well, another important point is that Cui Hao is not from a prestigious family like Zhang Huaiyan, he is only from the sub-scholar family, and the emperor is easier to control." Jiang Yichen added.

Xiao Junyan asked puzzledly: "Since there is already Cui Hao, why does the emperor still let you go back?"

"The more people divide power, the better it is for the king, and that's politics."

"Oh, I see!"

Chang Rui thought for a while and asked: "There is still something unknown to his subordinates, I wonder how the prince learned that there will be a change in Beiliang?"

"This is also thanks to Xiao Junyan, three months ago he traveled to the border of Beiliang, and saw that the people of Beiliang disguised themselves as merchants were buying a large number of ironware, and he saw that something was wrong, so he flew a pigeon to pass the book to me."

Xiao Junyan's eyes were blazing, and he made an expression of unthanks.

"So three months ago, the prince flew a pigeon to pass a letter to General Yang, asking him to observe the movements of Beiliang, and sure enough, he found that Beiliang was about to move during that time, and it didn't take long for Beiliang to press the border, and there was no one available in the court, and the prince asked the seventh prince to recommend General Yang to the emperor to go on the expedition, and General Yang really lived up to expectations and defeated Beiliang in one fell swoop."

Jiang Yichen's eyes were slightly closed, and he did not answer, indicating acquiescence.

Chang Rui then reported: "In addition, the rebellion of King Yong has also been quelled, King Cheng and King Zhou temporarily defected, King Yong committed suicide in defeat, and now King Cheng and King Zhou have been escorted back to the dynasty for conviction. His Majesty Longyan was happy, and he wanted to reward all the soldiers, but General Yang Jinghe said that he would wait for General Yang to return to the court to reward them together, and His Majesty agreed. ”

"Oh? The rebellion of King Yong was put down so quickly, and this Yang Jinghe once again surprised the king. Jiang Yichen's face finally showed a look of surprise.

Chang Rui said: "The last general was also very surprised, King Yong's strength was not weak, he took advantage of General Yang Lao to lead his troops to the battle, the capital was empty, and colluded with King Cheng and King Zhou to rebel." Seeing that the imperial court was in danger, the last general asked himself, if I led the troops, I would not be able to quell the rebellion in such a short time. ”

Jiang Yichen's eyes were cold and sharp, "My imperial uncle, was originally a brother of my father and emperor, when the emperor's grandfather passed the throne to his father and queen, he has always been unwilling, not only repeatedly offended the emperor in the court, but also ignored the national legal system, sat on one side, held the local power in his hands, and refused to accept the constraints of the court." In the early years, the emperor remembered the friendship of his compatriots, just a small punishment, but he did not want to hide the evil intentions, in recent years, he secretly recruited troops and horses, and his strength has increased greatly, and the rebellious heart has been revealed, and the emperor intends to recover, but he is unable to do so, so he has to appease it, but he does not want to fuel his rebellious heart. This time, he took advantage of Beiliang to start a war, colluded with King Cheng and King Zhou to rebel, and was determined to win, but he didn't expect to be defeated here. ”

Chang Rui sighed with emotion: "Yes, King Yong thought that there was no one available in the court, and at that time the prince wanted to send his subordinates to support, but he didn't expect to kill a heroine Yang Jinghe halfway and recommend herself to lead the troops." At the beginning of the war, King Yong did not take this female generation in his eyes, it was his light enemy, coupled with the wisdom and courage of General Yang and his father, that separated the three kings, which allowed the rebellion to be put down in such a short time. ”

"Well, the three kings are united because of their interests, and they must not want to lose their own troops, so naturally, they will not use all their strength to resist the enemy. If any one else provoked it, their alliance would be broken, and it would be a matter of time before they were defeated. This king didn't expect that General Yang not only had a good son, but also a good daughter, this king had seen General Yang a few times when he was young, and he didn't know that he also had a daughter. ”

"I heard that General Yang was squeezed out and relegated to the north to be born, he grew up outside the Saiwai since he was a child, and he has lived in the army for many years, and his personality is a little bolder, not as weak as a woman in my court. At first, the prime minister and the ministers of the court did not believe that a weak woman could quell the rebellion, and strongly opposed it, but the emperor was suffering from no one available, so he asked her to take command of the rebellion, but he didn't want her to have the true character of a daughter in a man's family, and she was ashamed of how many generals in the court. ”

"No wonder, the tiger father has no dogs, and he has no dog girls, this time General Yang and his family have all made great achievements, and this time there is a lot of excitement in the court."

Xiao Junyan smiled and said: "Interesting, this Yang Jinghe, my son wants to see if it is as powerful as you say."

Chang Rui said with admiration: "As Xiao Gongzi thinks, one day, I must ask General Yang for advice." He thought for a while and said: "In addition to the prime minister, Li Wei, and Cui Hao, the harem is not idle, Chen Guifei has asked the emperor to marry General Yang Jinghe for the king of Anyang, and she privately sent someone to give General Yang a lot of rare treasures, but they were all returned by General Yang." The queen is not idle, she has asked Her Majesty to marry her niece and General Yang Chengzhi, and His Majesty has promised to wait for General Yang to return to the court to discuss again. ”

Jiang Yichen sneered: "In the past few years, the two factions of their parties have been fiercely competing, and their strength is comparable, and this great opportunity will not let the other party seize the opportunity and strengthen their strength."

"What the prince said is very true."

"I've been talking for a long time, I'm so hungry, aren't you hungry!" Xiao Junyan shouted.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he shouted loudly outside the door, "Xiaolian!"

Hearing the call, Xiaolian entered the house and asked, "What do you have to say?"

"Where's your sister Wanying?" Xiao Junyan asked.

"Sister Wanying took Miss Cheng to her house."

"Okay, I see, you go and get us some food."

Xiaolian listened to the order and retreated.
