Chapter 76: Calculations to Each
"Lord Jiang, don't be impatient......"
Murong Qingyun sat on the top seat, and said with a calm and relaxed look: "Since this prince said this in front of his father, he naturally has his own thoughts!" ”
"Please teach the eldest prince!"
Master Jiang snorted coldly, looking still a little angry.
"A few days ago, my father had already asked the prince to marry the eldest princess of Li Guoyan, if this marriage can really be done, it will add another layer of help to the prince......
Speaking of this, Murong Qingyun frowned: "If this is the case, what hope does this prince have?" ”
"Fortunately, at this time, the Emperor of Xiyue handed over the word, willing to marry Princess Qingxue, if this prince can win Princess Qingxue as the concubine, does it mean that Xiyue is on the side of this prince? Facing the prince like this, this prince can not lose......"
Murong Qingyun sighed, slapped his thighs with both hands, and a flash of calculation flashed in his eyes.
"It turns out that the eldest prince actually fought this idea......"
Lord Jiang frowned, thought about it again, and still frowned and asked, "But how can the eldest prince guarantee that Princess Qingxue will not marry the crown prince?" The minister heard that when she went to celebrate Emperor Li's birthday that day, Princess Qingxue seemed to be ...... to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince It's a different look! ”
"So what?"
Murong Qingyun smiled meaningfully: "Don't forget, there is also a princess of Li Guojingyuan!" I heard that Princess Qingxue is also a bold and unwilling to admit defeat, if His Royal Highness our crown prince chooses Princess Jingyuan as the main concubine, then will Princess Qingxue willingly submit to the princess of Li Kingdom? As long as she doesn't want to, that prince is her best choice! ”
"If the crown prince doesn't choose the princess of Li Guo, it will be even better, the national strength of Li Guo is not comparable to that of Xiyue, if this prince can marry the princess of Li Guo, great things can be done!"
With a slap on the thigh, Murong Qingyun seemed to have replaced Murong Yichen in front of him.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not agree with the peace, and it is precisely because of this consideration?"
Master Jiang suddenly realized.
"Humph!"
A flash of jealousy flashed on Murong Qingyun's face: "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been thoughtful and scheming, no one can guess what he thinks in his heart!" Fortunately, I woke up in time this time, otherwise I would have been played with by him, wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a great opportunity? ”
Naturally, there was another compliment below, and Murong Qingyun pulled the corners of his mouth, enjoying this compliment with peace of mind.
In the East Palace, Murong Yichen was no exception, and he was discussing this matter with several advisers.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you traveled abroad for a long time a few days ago and did not return, but you didn't know that the eldest prince had taken the opportunity to win over many courtiers, otherwise, there would not be so many people standing up to speak for him today......
Lord Han also frowned: "Although the minister knows your plan now, the matter of money and grain is not a trivial matter, although the treasury can still come up with some silver, but it is always necessary to prepare for the flooding of several rivers and the diversion of silt after the summer of the next year...... Alas, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't have a family, these days, I almost made our Lord Shangshu have gray hair and black again! ”
"I will naturally find a way to deal with the silver, and I have been running around for many years, and I have gained a little."
Murong Yichen said vaguely, just how much silver to give and when to give it, but he didn't make it clear to Lord Han.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
At this moment, a secret guard beside Murong Yichen suddenly appeared, and all the strategists were shocked, knowing that something unusual must have happened, so they all found an excuse to leave.
"What's wrong? Panic! ”
Murong Yichen frowned, looking at the leader of the dark guard with some displeasure, but he also secretly wondered in his heart - the secret guards have been trained for many years, and if something major happened, they would not appear in front of everyone.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there was news from Li Guo just now, saying that Emperor Li intended to marry Princess Jingyuan to Luo Changan, the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, and his subordinates did not dare to be arbitrary, so they hurriedly came to report to His Royal Highness the Prince......"
The secret guard complained in his heart, he didn't want to show up, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had instructed before, whenever there is news of Princess Jingyuan, he must report it as soon as possible, and now that Princess Jingyuan is going to get married, this should be a big deal, right?
The dark guard kept scolding in his heart.
"How could it be so sudden?"
Sure enough, Murong Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then his brows were simply wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
And it turned out that Luo Changan was chosen as the colt?
That kid is dumbfounded, how can he compare himself to himself?!
"I heard that Princess Jingyi had a private meeting with Ning Xiuhan, and was caught by Emperor Li, Emperor Li was afraid that something bad would come out, so he gave the two of them a marriage, but Princess Jingyi is young after all, Princess Jingyuan is the eldest after all, where in the world is there a sister who has been decided, but the sister is still empty? Because of this, Emperor Li wanted to marry Princess Jingyuan to ......"
"Confused!"
An obvious look of anger flashed in Murong Yichen's eyes, which made the secret guard, who was used to seeing him cold and everything under control, even more surprised.
"How can you give away Princess Jingyuan's life for the sake of just a fool?!"
The dark guard didn't dare to answer, but hung his head and stood aside.
"Luo Chang'an ......"
After chanting Luo Changan's name a few times, Murong Yichen's eyes flashed, and he beckoned to the dark guard, signaling the dark guard to come over, and so and so on, the dark guard nodded, and one leaped away, and disappeared in front of Murong Yichen's eyes in an instant.
"Jing Yuan, you must wait for me ......"
Murong Yichen's eyes were full of contemplation, and he unconsciously muttered.
More than half a month, on the street of the capital of Li Guo.
"Shopkeeper, please have mercy on me, give me a nest, I haven't eaten for a few days and nights, please, please......"
A ragged woman knelt in front of a stall selling steamed buns with tears in her eyes, crying and begging.
"Hey, how can you be like this, girl?"
The middle-aged man who sold steamed buns also had a bitter face, and persuaded bitterly: "I am also a small business, with a handful of strength to eat, I can't earn a few pennies a day, and there are still old and young in the family, girl, are you kneeling here with me to embarrass me?" Don't do that! ”
"I just need a nest head, shopkeeper, please do well......"
The woman not only refused to get up, but cried even louder: "I was also forced to be helpless, so I gave up this face to beg for food...... The shopkeeper, to tell you the truth, I went to Beijing to look for someone, and when I find someone, I will definitely repay you for your charity today! Shopkeeper's ......"
"Girl, you said that there are so many stalls here, and there are so many big restaurants, why do you have to keep an eye on me, a small family? My lady just gave birth to my third girl, and the family is waiting to be fed, I can't wait to break a penny into two halves, you say you ......"
Seeing that more and more people were gathered around, the steamed bun seller was helpless, so he had to complain in public, but he didn't think that before he finished speaking, suddenly a not very serious voice came from his ears:
"Yo, the little girls are already so pitiful, and the shopkeeper, you are also a little ruthless......"
Everyone looked up and saw a man dressed richly, with a somewhat greasy smile on his face, and three or four dog-legged sons and brothers squeezing over from the crowd.
The woman pursed her lips, and her body shrank with a frightened look.
"Childe taught ...... lessons"
The steamed bun seller had a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "It's just that this kind of thing is pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade, only a person of the identity of Gongzi can do it, especially what I and other ordinary people can do?" Childe, do you say? ”
"Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"
The child's eyes flashed, the fan in his hand closed, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha...... That's right, isn't this son a person who loves mercy and cherishes jade? You're pretty discerning! ”
"Thank you for the compliment!"
The steamed bun seller breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but then looked at the woman kneeling in front of him with some concern.
Girl, girl, this kind of dignitary is not something that ordinary people like me can afford to provoke, and besides, this matter is because of you, don't blame me for pushing you out to prevent disasters......
"Little girl, are you going to Beijing to look for someone? I don't know who I'm looking for? Isn't it me? Hahaha......"
The boy gently picked up the woman's chin with a fan, and saw that the woman was shy and anxious, but she didn't dare to resist, and suddenly laughed even more.
"Well, such a beautiful face should be decorated with some rouge gouache, how can it be so dirty?"
A touch of pity flashed in Childe's eyes, he smashed his mouth, and sighed deliberately: "Who made this Childe such a kind-hearted person?" Girl, why don't you go back to the house with me? This son guarantees that you eat fragrant and spicy food every day, wear gold and silver, and never have to kneel on the street and cry with a hillbilly for a steamed bun! You only need to do one thing well every day, and that is to serve this son comfortably......"
As he spoke, he was about to touch the woman's face!
"You go away!"
The woman was shocked, and pushed the boy regardless of it, but the son was caught off guard for a while, and was pushed to the ground by the woman!
"You little slut, don't be embarrassed!"
The servants around Childe hurriedly helped Childe up, Childe suffered such a big loss, his face was naturally a little unbearable, and he stared at the woman viciously and said: "This Childe can look down on you, that is the blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes!" Don't pretend to me here - you're begging in public, aren't you trying to seduce a rich man? Let me tell you, such a trick will be staged in Beijing every year! If you don't know what to do, don't blame Ben Gongzi for being unkind to you! ”
After scolding, he reprimanded his subordinates: "What the hell are you doing here?" Why don't you hurry up and get someone back to my house! ”
