Chapter 64: The Patrol Army
Now in addition to the Nine Emperors who are still in Ci'en Temple, there are four princes in Beijing, the leader is naturally the crown prince Jiang Jingyu, and the seventh prince Jiang Minwen and the eighth prince Jiang Minwu, the two are twins and inseparable.
It's just that there is the crown prince Zhuyu in front, although they have an official and a half-position, they are also very idle, mediocre, and have no merit.
It can be said that among the princes, Jiang Zerui has nine points of power. Now that Jiang Jingyu wants power from the emperor, isn't it equivalent to fighting for power from Jiang Zerui?
Then how can Jiang Zerui be a good stubble? What is the difference between Jiang Jingyu fighting for it now and hitting a stone with an egg? Looking at Jiang Zerui's reaction today, he will definitely be investigated later, and when Jiang Jingyu's head is found out, there will definitely be a fight between the two of them.
As if seeing the worry in Shen Xizhi's eyes, Jiang Jingyu slowed down his tone and explained to her in a ghostly manner, "The prince has been in power in the court for many years, deceiving his superiors and concealing his henchmen, and his father has long been dissatisfied with him, but most of the remaining princes are useless, so he can only turn a blind eye." But Jiang Zerui shouldn't be thinking about the Dragon Armor Army. Most of the dragon armor soldiers are the heirs of high-ranking officials and noble families, and behind them is the entire family, and even the father and emperor are afraid of it. ”
"The prince has been asking people to block the twists and turns about the Dragon Armor Army before, but there are still fish that have slipped through the net and got in front of his father. Some of the souvenirs you see today were found by my father. ”
"What?" Shen Xizhi was a little confused about the emperor's meaning, "But listening to the emperor's tone, why did he imply that you found it?"
There seemed to be a moment of recollection in Jiang Jingyu's eyes, "The emperor's usual checks and balances are just the art of checks and balances." He wants to use this king to balance the crown prince, so he wants the prince to think that this king has been in obscurity all these years, and it is not as simple as it seems. As long as the prince is scared after this incident, he will no longer have thoughts that he shouldn't have in the future. ”
"It's exploitation. ”
What kind of checks and balances, here, the emperor's purpose is for Jiang Zerui and himself. And what about Jiang Jingyu? From now on, Jiang Zerui will be used as a thorn in the flesh, and Jiang Jingyu has nothing, how can he compete with him?
"Years ago. Jiang Jingyu said, "He used the technique of checks and balances to win me, and now he repeats his old tricks, and he will only lose." ”
"I'm not completely conditioned by him. ”
Shen Xizhi raised his head suddenly, and there seemed to be a sudden light in his dim eyes.
Jiang Jingyu turned his head and said, "The Dragon Armor Army is disbanded, and another patrol army will be formed to be responsible for the inspection from Tianheng Mountain to the city gate. ”
"Why is that?"
"The mountain bandits of Tianheng Mountain have not been found out, day and night for fear that someone will plot to usurp the throne, and the patrol army will inevitably appear. When he said this, Jiang Jingyu seemed to have a slight smile on his lips.
Shen Xizhi didn't have time to appreciate the smile that disappeared without a trace, she could only secretly choke her wrists, and then said: "I guess the emperor will make you the commander of the patrol army in order to check and balance the prince." ”
The word "checks and balances" bites very hard, with some mockery.
"Damn!" In the East Palace, Jiang Zerui made a lot of fire, he had worked hard for so many years, wasn't it just to entrap the Dragon Armor Army? Now it's good, not only has the Dragon Armor Army been disbanded, but his father has also ordered a thorough investigation, and most of the people he saved by favoritism and fraud in the past can't escape.
Not to mention, after all, he thought at the beginning of doing these things that there might be a day when the East Window incident happened, but after all these years, he has never been found on the head.
I thought that my father was old and his mental strength was not as good as before, but he really planned to hand over all the power to himself, and he has been working hard and practicing to be an emperor. In order to be able to ascend to the throne of God firmly after a hundred years of his father's reign.
But why, why was it discovered? How did Jiang Jingyu get those folds and sends?
"Someone!" he shouted to find his subordinates, "Check! Go check on Jiang Jingyu, how could he bring down the main hall once after he was a powerless and powerless thing?"
Seeing his crazy appearance, his subordinates hurriedly responded and fled from here.
"Brother Prince!"
Jiang Zhen came unfortunately, just in time for Jiang Zerui to get angry, he listened to the crackling sound in the room, although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask. So I had to stand outside the door and call him.
Not long ago, Jiang Zhen's maid Ping'er brought news out of the palace, but the news had nothing to do with Shen Xizhi, but the dispute between the prince and the Yuwang brothers caused a stir.
Jiang Zhen didn't understand political affairs, and she was not interested in her brother's fight, the reason why she came to Jiang Zerui was to ask him about Shen Xizhi.
Who knew he was so angry?
"Brother Prince, can I talk to you? If you don't have time, you can do it next time!"
After thinking about it, Jiang Zhen still decided not to touch the mold, so after speaking, he added that he would see you next time.
However, just as she was about to leave, a subordinate hurriedly came and said, "The fifth princess stays." Your Highness said, please move to the flower hall and wait for a while. ”
Jiang Zhen couldn't leave, so he had to nod. But there was some resentment in his heart, he didn't come out after waiting for so long, and now he couldn't wait to leave, so he asked her to wait in another place. Think she's a puppy that comes and goes?
With full of unhappiness, Jiang Zhen waited in the flower hall for a while, and then saw Jiang Zerui.
Now Jiang Zerui has cleaned up, and there is a smile on his face like a spring breeze, and he can't see a little bit of madness.
Jiang Zhen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and shouted with a dry smile: "Brother Prince, I didn't disturb you, right?"
"How come?" Jiang Zerui sat down calmly, like an ordinary person's brother who dotes on his sister, "When you come, the prince and brother are welcome." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. What, isn't this still her gentle, personable prince brother?
"What are you here for?"
Hearing him ask about this, Jiang Zhen's prepared words were a little unspeakable, but when she thought that Shen Xizhi was so annoying, she couldn't care so much.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just ...... I met a boy outside the council hall today, and I heard him mention something he hadn't touched a princess. And I also heard that Shen Xizhi is in the council hall, so it won't have anything to do with her, right?"
It turned out to be for this. Jiang Zerui looked at Jiang Zhen, knowing that Jiang Zhen hated Shen Xi to the core, and it was impossible for him to ask because he cared about her. Then it could only be a joke that I wanted to see Shen Xizhi.
He knew it in his heart and had a plan.
I saw Jiang Zerui's face straightened, and he didn't answer directly, but said: "It's about royal face, even if you know about this matter, you should understand the severity." Today, I just didn't ask you. ”
Seeing that he said so seriously, Jiang Zhen's heart blossomed.
