Yang Ji walked out of Zhan Shifu and took people back to the East Palace.

From a distance, he saw that there were soldiers of Teng Xiangwei standing up under the palace gate, and the general headed by him was not tall, he couldn't remember who it was, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was Shen Changying.

He stopped, and said, "General Shen? ”

Changying raised her lips and bowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yang Ji lowered his eyes at her and said, "Are the injuries healed?" ”

"Thanks to Your Highness, it's been a few days since I was on errand." Changying replied.

The corners of Yang Ji's lips hooked, took a few steps forward, and stopped: "General Shen will not die in a big disaster, so there must be a blessing in the future." ”

"To borrow the auspicious words of His Highness, but this is difficult to say." Changying smiled, "Xia Guan has been injured more than once or twice, and he has already suffered a lot from that time four years ago, and he has not seen any happiness so far." ”

Yang Ji squinted: "Four years ago? ”

"Oh," Changying said, "I was injured four years ago, and I was treated by a doctor. In fact, a few months ago in Hangzhou, there was also an assassination, but fortunately, there was still no danger. ”

Yang Ji remembered that four years ago, he had the idea of accepting her as a side concubine, and one of the reasons for Ling Yan's refusal at that time seemed to be that she was unwell at that time.

As for her assassination in Hangzhou—

He looked over: "General Shen is so law-abiding, will he be assassinated?" ”

"People are unpredictable. Besides, the sea in the south is in heavy trouble, and it is normal to see that the court officials want to make a few money. "Long tassel understated.

Yang Ji looked at her for a while and said, "It seems that General Shen has hit a lot of fate. Be careful. ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, but people like me who don't know much about their brains ......" Speaking of this, Changying paused, then looked at him again and said: "It is inevitable that you will have to do some stupid things from time to time, and you can't be careful if you are careful." ”

Yang Ji looked at her deeply, and said to the eunuch: "Since General Shen's brain is not clear, then send a few old ginseng to the general's mansion to replenish the general's brain!" ”

Changyingmu sent him into the inner sanctum before withdrawing his gaze.

"How?" Shaoqing asked, "Are there any signs?" ”

Changying shook her head.

Shaoqing didn't know the inside story of the "Fifth Master" yet, she only said that she wanted to spy on Yang Ji.

How she was injured four years ago, the "Fifth Master" knows best, if Yang Ji is the "Fifth Master", whenever she mentions it, he should not be that hazy and need to think carefully.

He was defenseless against her mentioning old injuries, insensitive to asking for medical treatment, and unevasive about assassination, so the possibility that he was the fifth master was actually very small.

And he also had no unusual reaction to what she said about "not knowing her brain", which minimized this suspicion.

This result was actually expected, and now that it has been further confirmed, it can be speculated that the fifth master is not Yang Ji's person, so it must also be ruled out that he is a person from the Gu family.

In the case that Yang Ji wanted to kill the Qian family, and the emperor ordered to kill the Qian family, but Yang Su secretly wanted to protect the Qian family, the behavior of the fifth master to stop Yang Su was consistent with the goal of the emperor and Yang Ji.

Since it is not Yang Ji, it is possible that it is the emperor. But wouldn't the emperor recognize that it would be his son who went to act? Will trap him in the barren mountains for half a month?

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Yang Su was presenting the emperor with the recital of the Yamen of the Five Cities.

The emperor's lips pursed slightly under his ink beard, and he said while watching: "It's only been two months, and the security of the Jingshi is obviously improving, and it can be seen that you have worked hard." ”

Yang Su humbly bowed: "It is not the work of the sons and ministers alone, in addition to the regulations for rectification are listed by General Shen, there are also many laws and regulations that rely on the cooperation of officials at all levels to be implemented." And the biggest key is to benefit from the support of his father. ”

The emperor raised his lips: "You just can talk." ”

Yang Su smiled, looked at his expression, took out another fold, presented it and said, "There is one more thing." The son fell in love with Huaiyuan's general Shen Changying as his wife, and wanted to ask his father for permission, and invited the matchmaker on a certain day to perform three books and six ceremonies. ”

The Emperor's gaze lifted from his hand.

"Shen Changying?"

"Exactly." Yang Su bowed his head, "Erchen thinks she is very suitable for the position of Princess Jin." ”

The emperor frowned, his eyes stopped for a long time on a pot of cedars outside the window, and said, "Your imperial brothers, there has never been a precedent for marrying a high-ranking woman.

"The crown princess's father is even just a man.

"Shen Changying is not only a courtier, but also a huge Ling family behind her, how can she be the princess of Jin?"

"The Ling family is loyal and patriotic, not to mention that Changying is not Mrs. Ling's own daughter, even if it is, it doesn't hurt for the sons to think it." Yang Su said.

"Okay?" The Emperor snorted lightly, stood up with his hands in his hands, walked slowly to him, and said, "Don't forget the cruelty of the struggle. No one is forever. ”

"Change and change are relative. If everyone has the same purpose, change cannot be called change. The so-called 'change' is nothing more than a difference in the way. ”

The emperor was silent.

Yang Su pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, Erchen thinks that for the sake of the overall situation, this marriage should be accomplished at this moment. ”

The Emperor looked sideways at him.

He got up and said: "Shen Changying desperately helped Erchen to win the position of governor of the five cities on the school field, which shocked the government and the opposition, and everyone in the world is waiting for Erchen's performance.

"She is both civil and military, and she does have the ability to govern the world, if her son hires her as a wife, she can not only meet the expectations of the people of the world for her son, but also master a talent, in terms of the current situation, isn't it more beneficial than disadvantageous?"

The Emperor frowned.

Yang Su took two steps forward and said: "With the current situation, how to use connections to stabilize the situation is a top priority. ”

The emperor stood for a long time, looked at him twice, and paced: "Where are you making profits?" It's clear that I'm fascinated by that girl. ”

"Father and Emperor Mingjian, the sons and daughters are indeed considering the overall situation, but the personal wishes of the sons and daughters just conform to the overall situation.

"The last thing I want to see my marriage with Shen Changying at the moment is the Gu family, if this marriage doesn't work out, they will designate a palm to call it fast."

It is meaningless to entangle with the emperor in the future, the current situation is uncertain, and it is better to talk about the interests to be effective.

But the emperor stared for a long time and still said: "Let's talk about it after moving the house." He sat down and handed him a piece of paper: "Qin Tianjian has already drawn up a date, and it is on the fifth day of the first month." You take a look first. ”

……

Yang Su walked out of the palace gate and said to Qin Lu, who was waiting under the Chengtian Gate: "You go and back up the sincere gift, and go back to the Song family with me." ”

He expected that there would be obstacles on the emperor's side, but in any case, he didn't refuse again, which means that the road is not blocked.

When encountering a conflict between father and son, it is better to ask a middleman to say that it is effective to face the conflict and seek results.

And at the moment, except for Song Xiao, he couldn't imagine that there could be a better candidate - although he can't talk about friendship with Song Xiao, he is also the political enemy of the Dongting Marquis Mansion in the Song family!
