Li Yue placed the teacup in his hand on the table.

She really didn't know anything, otherwise she wouldn't have looked into it like this.

Whoever encounters such a situation will feel troubled, but it is not possible for ordinary people to make up their minds so quickly and do it decisively and simply.

Instead of panicking, he tried to fight for it, just like when he met a dead soldier in the capital. She is similar to Chang Ning in some places, but very different in others, he has also thought about what the reason is, if it was him ten years ago, he might suspect that she and Chang Ning are similar but because they are both from the same place.

But after experiencing so many things and meeting so many people, he understood a truth, time and circumstances can create different temperaments, but the most important mind will never change.

What he wanted to know most was what she had experienced over the years.

Li Yue sat there, the moon-white robe, the rosewood hairpin on his head, simple and simple, but it made his whole person look like a high-altitude flowing cloud, and like a piece of clear glass with a soft brilliance.

There was a sudden plague in Dingzhou, and the news spread to the health center so quickly, and naturally someone was arranging it.

Hebei Province won the battle, the Cui family took back Pinglu, Jiang Ran died in battle, and it was impossible for the Jiang family to be without action.

The trick that Concubine Hui in the palace is used to is to hide behind her back and strategize.

Dingzhou is a choke point, and the prince has been holding it in his hand for a long time, and the Jiang family is not standing on the side of the East Palace on the surface, but in private, they may not be so clear.

The prince has not spoken in the court all these years, and he will not easily get involved in any matter, he will not offend the neutrals of the Ran family, nor will he make the Queen Mother unhappy, and he has no intention of targeting the five surnamed families, that is, he wants to quietly collect all the forces for his use.

There are a lot of imperial court garrisons in Dingzhou, but the prince eats more than half of the vacancy. The prefect of Dingzhou is not a person with eyes and hands, how can he secretly collect money for the prince for many years without making a mistake, it is because the prefect of Dingzhou is the Jiang family at all.

He checked the Jiang family's troops and found that there were not so many garrisons in Hedong Province, and the Jiang family cleverly "hidden" the military households around Hedong Road.

In recent years, Dingzhou has opened up a lot of wasteland, and suddenly relocated a lot of people, and the prince has also made a special effort to reduce taxes for three years for these wasteland households.

The crown prince never thought about the people, this practice must be for the sake of profit, and he has made it clear that most of the people who have moved over are middle-aged men, and these people fill those vacancies when the imperial court checks the garrison.

The prince thought that this matter was done seamlessly, but he didn't know that these were arranged by the Jiang family, and the Jiang family quietly left the soldiers and horses in their hands at the choke point leading to the capital.

As long as there is panic in Dingzhou, the Jiang family will definitely take over smoothly.

This is how Pinglu fell into the hands of the Jiang family.

Li Yue smiled slightly, the Jiang family is indeed smarter than others, but they can't hide it from him, and Ji Yanran, this girl, also knows that the so-called plague should be a trap to lead her to.

It's just that the trap also has its advantages, if you catch the bait and don't fall down, it's not them who lose.

Li Yue said: "Get ready, we will go to Dingzhou early tomorrow morning." He still couldn't rest assured of the girl.

……

Inside the East Palace of the capital.

The prince opened his mouth, and the beauty next to him immediately sent the candied fruit, this beauty was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, just from Lingnan to Beijing, the ancestor is a family of apricot forests, there is always a smell of medicinal fragrance between his fingers, which evokes some memories of the prince.

He also kept a pillow, which was taken out of Cining Palace, Chang Ning always leaned it against his back when he was fiddling with medicinal herbs, there was a faint aroma on it, it seemed to be the aroma of mint and seemed to be mixed with the smell of medicinal herbs, and he finally got it in his hand.

Thinking of this, the prince leaned forward and shouted to the beautiful woman's fingers, with a look of lust on his face.

At this moment, throw away all your troubles and indulge yourself, he is no longer the East Palace who manages all opportunities for the country, nor is he an example of the world's talents, he is just himself.

"Prince, news has come from Dingzhou, and the Ji family has begun to see the homeless."

The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, his face was full of regret, a woman who did not stay in the inner courtyard to serve her husband and elders, and showed her face outside, was naturally not a woman of good character, even if she died there, she was to blame, even if he punished the female relatives who did not abide by women's morals for the Ji family.

The Ji family is really hateful, everything he has arranged in Jiangnan for many years, those land and grain, are now sent to his father by the Ji family, and they will become taxes collected by the imperial court in the future.

It doesn't matter if the Ji family overturned the case for Ji Chengen, it also made him lose his confidants and ministers, so even if the Ji family is wiped out, it can't get the benefits he lost.

These are not enough, the Ji family actually stretched out his hand to Dingzhou, he discussed with the Lin family back then, and wanted the Lin family to take over Hebei Province and help him raise troops, in the future, he and the Lin family will have benefits, the Lin family has been rewarded by the imperial court, and the East Palace can also have stable interests, the Lin family supports him, and he will not treat them badly after he ascends the throne, but the Lin family does not know the current affairs. Lin Rang broke his face, the moment Chang Ning refused to marry into the East Palace, he still remembers it vividly, the damned Lin Rang did not die in Hebei Province, and Ji Chengen also had to return to Beijing safely, he was not happy to think about it.

"Let the Dingzhou prefect watch it, and if the Ji family can't cure the plague, they will impeach her and the Li family together, but ...... Remind him...... The Li family and the Ji family are not good at stubble, so let him not take the initiative to cause trouble. ”

After saying this, the prince waved his hand, he didn't want to care about these trivial things.

"Prince, the prefect of Dingzhou is just outside the door."

The prince raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect to let the Dingzhou prefect ...... Here it comes.

"Also," the servant continued, "Miss Jiang is here, saying that she wants the Crown Princess Xie to make the decision for her, and the Crown Princess has already let Miss Jiang go to the garden. ”

King Jin withdrew from the marriage, Miss Jiang hanged herself in shame, thanks to the Jiang family's early discovery, it did not cause a big disaster, he said a word for Miss Jiang in front of his father, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to provoke the Jiang family to deal with the King of Jin, but he didn't expect the Jiang family to take it to heart, and Jiang Jinyu also came to thank him in person.

It's not good for him to come from the Jiang family.

The prince thought about it slightly, and felt that he should go to see Jiang Jinyu first.

"Let the prefect of Dingzhou wait, and I'll see him later."

After the prince finished speaking, he walked to the garden, and the Jiang family came to thank him like this, did he want to take refuge in him. The person in the world who can deal with King Jin is just him, he might as well try to probe Jiang Jinyu's tone.

As soon as I walked to the moon gate, I heard someone shout: "Miss." ”

Before the prince could react, then the whole person was hit, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the figure in front of him was held in his arms.

"Huh" A soft cry, a faint fragrance immediately entered his mouth and nose, and he was about to savor this feeling, but the soft body pushed him away and retreated in a panic.

The prince fixed his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was Jiang Jinyu.

"Prince," Jiang Jinyu's face was ugly, embarrassed and panicked, "I'...... I didn't see ......" she still had tears on her face, but that made her look even more pitiful.

The prince's heart couldn't help but move.
