Jiang Songwen is still too young in the end, although he has scheming and means, but he can't draw inferences, and it is even more difficult for him to speculate about Emperor Longqing's intentions.

Jiang Zining sighed in his heart.

If this matter hadn't been for him turning around in it, and quietly transferring Jiang Songwen's murder of Wei An and Shen Chen to the courtiers and starting to stand in line, making Emperor Longqing suspicious of the King of Linjiang and forming a party, then the matter would not have been so simple.

With Emperor Longqing's original plan, he was ready to let the King of Linjiang succeed to the throne, if his plan really came true, then Emperor Longqing would definitely take someone out to give Wei An and Shen Chen the matter of the sacrifice flag, so that the King of Linjiang could rest assured.

Jiang Songwen couldn't figure this out.

He didn't know that these little things seemed to be small things, but if they were placed in the big situation, they were turning points that could determine life and death, and how many details that determined life and death were in these little things.

And he has been following Emperor Longqing for so many years, and he can best understand Emperor Longqing's intentions, and he also knows what he is most afraid of, which is probably incomparable to even his concubines who are close to his harem.

Emperor Longqing pondered for a long time and didn't speak again, and Jiang Zining stood beside him with his eyes and nose and nose, looking respectful and cautious.

When the finger-thick incense in the golden lacquer beast unicorn incense tripod on the incense table was almost burned, Emperor Longqing's somewhat low and hoarse voice sounded from the curling green smoke: "Shen Chen is really well-informed. ”

Jiang Zining laughed, as if he was unaware of Emperor Longqing's murderous words, frowned and let go, and replied with a sincere smile: "No, after all, it is the Marquis of Pingxi, you value him, the King of Linjiang also treats him as his own son, and now he is about to become the son-in-law of the Wei family, how much glory is there?" I want to go up and talk to him so that I can have a little friendship, which is also human nature. ”

There are many deep meanings implied in these words, and in the ears of Emperor Longqing, that is, the situation has not completely fallen to King Linjiang now, but the people below have already heard the wind and moved, and they began to stammer Shen Chen one by one.

This is still the case for Shen Chen, but what about the King of Linjiang?

And King Linjiang, he may not have that mind and opportunity before, so he has always been respectful and honest, but once so many temptations are placed in front of him, can he really maintain the same cautious heart as before?

Man cannot resist temptation.

Emperor Longqing lowered his eyes, quietly changed the topic again, and asked Jiang Zining: "By the way, where is King Linjiang?" ”

Jiang Zining didn't seem to hear clearly, and thought for a while before answering: "I have arrived in Shandong, Shandong is in rebellion, I heard that his subordinates suggested that he not go to Shandong and take a detour, but the prince did not agree, and insisted on coming from Shandong......"

He paused, and then laughed again and said: "After all, the prince is famous, famous, known as the god of war, and those traitors have already retreated when they hear his name." ”

Emperor Longqing's expression was hidden in the smoke and couldn't be seen clearly, but he faintly repeated the word God of War, as if there was a mocking meaning: "Retreat? ”

Those rebels are very stubborn, the imperial court sent so many soldiers and horses out, but in the end it didn't play a big role, and those rebels still occupied the middle of Jingxi and Jin, so many officials entered Kyoto and walked around that place, but the king of Linjiang knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tiger mountains?

What did he think?

Is it true that the artist is bold and not afraid of betraying the party, or does he deliberately want to show the military and civilians his prestige as a vassal king? Reminds people of his past great military exploits?

Jiang Zining suddenly didn't understand the ridicule in Emperor Longqing's words, so he took over the conversation and sighed very sincerely: "Yes, people outside say that the courage of the King of Linjiang is commendable, and he is worthy of being the person who once assessed the rebellion between the King of Chu and the King of Jin, and he is very courageous." ”

Emperor Longqing sighed, supported his head with one hand, seemed to be very sleepy, and asked him after a while: "Then what do you think?" ”

That's where the question comes in.

Jiang Zining knew that how he answered these words was likely to determine whether Emperor Longqing's mind would really change.

This is an answer that determines his own future, and it is also an answer that determines the fate of King Linjiang and the Wei family.

His mind was extremely clear, and after a moment of calmness, he said the answer that he had thought about countless times: "The minister doesn't think so. He said: "The king of Linjiang has always been a kind and righteous, very sympathetic to the soldiers below, known as a virtuous name in the army, and he has a very good relationship with the prince of Zheng, and the marquis of Pingxi is now engaged to the lord of Shouning County, the minister guesses that the prince is probably trying to inquire about the movements of the prince Zheng, and will know that the Shandong rebellion also knows that he can't do it." ”

His words were really praising King Linjiang.

But it is also really asking Emperor Longqing to speculate on the king of Linjiang in the worst.

The art of speaking is like that, sometimes you don't necessarily want that person to be good.

After he finished saying this, he hung his head and waited for Emperor Longqing's reaction.

After a long time, Emperor Longqing coughed for a while, signaled to Gonggong An, who heard the movement and rushed in, poured tea, took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Yes, I forgot, our fifth child has always been a loving and righteous person, isn't it a perfect person?" ”

Jiang Zining's heart that had been hanging was put down, knowing that Emperor Longqing was really suspicious of King Linjiang.

It's not in vain that he did so much work before.

First, he wrote to many of his protégés, asking them to visit the king of Linjiang by themselves or by instigating officials along the way, and asking the officials along the way to offer beautiful women.

King Linjiang rejected one or two, there were still many, he couldn't always refuse, and once one was successfully received, other people naturally flocked to him.

When the king of Linjiang sees more, this article can be done, and Jiang Zining then signaled the imperial history below to move when he heard the wind, and participated in the king of Linjiang to transgress the etiquette system, unruly, and form a party for personal gain.

Emperor Longqing may not have taken it seriously at the beginning, but when he saw more and more officials flocking to the King of Linjiang, where could he really have no trouble?

When he has a mustard in his heart, he is naturally suspicious of everything.

Sometimes, they don't have to wait for the person to make a mistake, they don't have to do anything, and what other people do can be counted on their heads.

He sat next to him, his feet on the ground, without the slightest trepidation.

He has been facing Emperor Longqing for a long time, he knows Emperor Longqing's temper very well, and when he talks about it, it is almost the same, and it seems too deliberate to continue, he knows the truth of moderation very well, and he grasps these conditions very accurately.
