At this time, Jiang's mansion was gloomy and miserable, Jiang Lin sat in the front hall and poured wine cup by cup, since Huizong's expedition, Jiang Lin drank almost every day, and his subordinates didn't even dare to come forward, and every time someone approached, Jiang Lin scolded the dog's blood. Mrs. Jiang passed by the front hall, looked at Jiang Lin's non-stop drinking, and finally stepped forward, "Don't drink anymore." ”

Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at Mrs. Jiang, "Now there is no way to even you, it is better to get drunk, my Jiang family has fought the world for him for several generations, but now it is going to be ruined in my hands!" ”

"You ......" Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something, but she saw that the little maid brought King Ning and others. Jiang Lin saw King Ning hurriedly stand up, but he stumbled, and Madame Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jiang Lin up. "See the prince."

King Ning smiled and walked to the top and sat down, looked at the wine jug, opened the lid of the jug and smelled it, "I didn't expect the general to be a person who understands wine, this good bamboo leaf green is not something that anyone can find." After speaking, seeing that Jiang Lin and Mrs. Jiang were still kneeling on the ground, they were busy helping him, "Hurry up, this king is just supervising the country for His Majesty, the general has military merits, he is the minister of the humerus, and this king has always been quite respectful." Mrs. Jiang helped Jiang Lin up, Jiang Lin was full of alcohol, but his consciousness was not very clear, and said bluntly: "What is the reason why the prince came this time?" ”

King Ning looked at Jiang Lin and said with a smile: "Before the imperial brother set out on the expedition, he ordered this king to investigate the case of the general's embezzlement of military salaries. When Jiang Lin heard this, he was afraid that Huizong would order King Ning to cure his own sins before leaving, so he suddenly sobered up, knelt down busily, and said tremblingly: "The minister's crime deserves ten thousand deaths, and the minister's sins deserve ten thousand deaths......

Seeing this, King Ning smiled brightly and got up to help Jiang Lin up. "The general is serious." After saying that, he helped Jiang Lin to sit down, looked at Jiang Lin and said: "This king is not as good as the imperial brother, but he also knows the truth that the water is clear and there are no fish, and there is no disciple when people are observed." The general has been fighting abroad for many years, and some minor problems are harmless. ”

Jiang Lin hurriedly said when he heard this: "The prince wants to say a few good words in front of the emperor for Weichen, my Jiang family has been a general for generations, and I can't do anything to be spoiled and coquettish, and my achievements are high!" ”

King Ning looked at Jiang Lin playfully: "Meritorious master? Which slave who doesn't want to die is talking nonsense in front of the imperial brother! ”

Jiang Lin was already drunk every day, although he was a little sober before, but at this time, he became more and more unscrupulous: "It's just that my subordinates sent some tea, and my concubine gave nonsense to the emperor, and the emperor was annoyed!" ”

King Ning sat down, looked at Jiang Lin, and said a little casually: "It's just some tea, according to this king, the general has the merit of protecting the country and protecting the emperor, even if he is added to the rank of knight, it is not too much." King Ning paused, and then looked at Jiang Lin, "The eldest prince of the Jiang family is both civil and military, why don't you see him?" ”

Jiang Lin knew that Jiang Peng had always been carefully taught by his wife, and he was quite insightful in writing and martial arts, and when he saw King Ning praising him like this, he couldn't help but be a little proud: "Peng'er is in the study, can the prince want to see him?" Jiang Lin motioned to Mrs. Jiang to bring Jiang Peng, and King Ning hurriedly stopped him. Then don't call him. The eldest prince Wen Taowu is strategic, the second son goes out with the army, and Jiang Gong has raised such a son, and he will definitely shine on the lintel. Jiang Lin laughed out loud when he heard this, and even Mrs. Jiang, who was quite nervous on the side, couldn't help but look a little kinder when she heard King Ning praise Jiang Peng like this.

"Where does the eldest prince serve? But the military department? King Ning asked with a smile, only to see Jiang Lin waving his hand and shaking his head: "Peng'er followed General Li to exterminate the Pingcheng bandits, and since then he has only been in the military department for an idle job." ”

King Ning was shocked: "This king often hears General Li say that your son is a young man and a talented man, and his art of war and strategy are often surprisingly successful, so why is he only hanging up an idle position?" Jiang Lin smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Peng'er has suffered for his father." ”

"Brother Huang is too strict! Governing the country and defending the border still depends on you old ministers. When he was young, his father taught the king that the founding of the country should be restricted, and the business must rely on good generals. If it is this king, the prince has this talent, and he will be given a heavy responsibility. After speaking, King Ning actually stood up, "This time it's just a formality, the general doesn't have to mind, the royal brother has sent this king to investigate whether the general is greedy for military salaries, and when he came to the general's mansion today, what he saw was just ordinary, the general's family was loyal and good, and the king would definitely give the general an explanation and leave." ”

Jiang Lin hurriedly sent King Ning out of the house, and when he came back, he saw Mrs. Jiang sitting thoughtfully, so he said: "Madam, with King Ning protecting us, we will definitely not be punished." ”

Madame Jiang glanced at Jiang Lin, "King Ning is just a prince, if the emperor comes back, even if he doesn't punish him, he will definitely slowly get rid of your military power." King Ning came this time, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lin took a few more steps, and finally couldn't help it, pulled Mrs. Jiang back to the room, and closed the door, "Do you know that although the emperor led the emperor to fight several times, it was King Ning who wanted to pass on the throne when he was dying. After hearing this, Madame Jiang hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense about these words, how do you know that the first emperor wants to pass on the throne to King Ning?" ”

Jiang Lin pouted, "You deep lady must not know, the first emperor was seriously ill back then, and the court had already spread the word, the emperor wanted to abolish the elder and the young, King Ning was personally taught by the first emperor since he was a child, if not, why should he teach him the art of governing the country?" After Jiang Lin finished speaking, seeing that Mrs. Jiang did not speak, he continued: "If it weren't for our group of old ministers who saw that His Majesty had a lot of military achievements today, and all the ministers praised him, and there were many heirs of the former emperor, they were all secretly ready to move, so that today's saint was established. ”

Madame Jiang pondered carefully and said: "At that time, King Ning was only thirteen, and the first emperor had led His Majesty to the south and north to fight, and he was quite prestigious in the army. And at that time, there were four adult heirs of the first emperor, if the young son was established as the emperor, the foundation of the country was unstable, and under the internal and external troubles, the first emperor would definitely support the current saint, if this rumor is as you said, it is that King Ning has been scheming since he was a child, if it is not for King Ning, then ...... Queen Mother ......"

Jiang Lin had no intention of fighting between the court, and he didn't understand such a scheming strategy, and before Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she saw Jiang Lin wave her hand, "Whether it's King Ning or the Queen Mother, if the little emperor comes back this time, I'm afraid that our Jiang Mansion will also suffer a catastrophe!" ”

When Mrs. Jiang saw Jiang Lin say this, she knew that Jiang Lin had jumped over the wall in a hurry, and she planned to surrender to King Ning, and hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, there have been battles for the throne, but now Your Majesty has become a great treasure, if you rebel with King Ning at this time, you will also be a rebel and thief if you say it, even if King Ning wins, you ......"

Jiang Lin snorted coldly, "Madame is just too cautious!" Over the years, you and I have been cautious walking on thin ice, and we don't even dare to ask for a future for Peng'er, Kun'er is like me, only a little brute force, and I'm just a concubine. Peng'er has a delicate mind, although he is not very close to me, after all, he is my sister-in-law, my Jiang family has only Peng'er for many years, but now he has received it on behalf of my father, and he is not allowed to be promoted, and the emperor will no longer keep me when he returns, what should Peng'er do at that time? ”

Mrs. Jiang knew that Jiang Lin was originally greedy for life and afraid of death, and now that he was imprisoned at home, Jiang Peng did not see Jiang Lin angry after many ridicules, and also knew that he had high hopes for this sister-in-law, and this remark also had a bit of a father's responsibility, and remembered the vague attitude of the pavilion master, thinking that if King Ruoning was defeated, he would do it again, so he sighed and stopped stopping it.

Inside the house, on the small table in the outer room, there is a delicate incense burner, the furnace is burning elegant incense, between the outer room and the inner room, there is a carved white jade screen, the screen is white and transparent, a woman can be vaguely seen sitting behind the screen, the woman is graceful, from a distance, you can see a pair of plain hands fiddling with a pot of camellia flowers on the table, she seems to sit on the stool casually, but exudes a noble and idle style. The woman simply combed a hanging bun, which showed that she was not in time.

"Miss." A woman walked into the house, standing outside the screen, but still standing respectfully with her head bowed. The woman is twenty-one and twelve, with a beautiful appearance, wearing a string of red agate strings on her neck, each of which is the same size, and there are bursts of fragrant fragrance, which can be seen to be good. "Shiso, in the future, every first and fifteenth day of the new year, ask them to bring some antidote on their bodies." The woman's voice was not hurried, and she spit out these words softly.

"But the ones for them on weekdays?"

"Yes." The woman was still sitting in a chair, pruning her branches.

"Miss, the slave has something unclear, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." There was silence in the room for a moment, and Shiso suddenly spoke.

"Say."

"If Miss wants to save that Yan Ziqian, why don't you give him all the antidote? If you don't save ...... Why did he order someone to carry the antidote on his body, so that he could not die happily? As soon as Zi Su said this, he raised his head and glanced inward, and quickly lowered his head. The girl in the room sighed softly and beckoned Shisu to walk in, Shiso hurriedly walked behind the screen, and stood respectfully behind the girl, who was dressed exquisitely but wore a mask made of red gold.

The girl pointed to a flower branch and asked, "Shiso, you said that this flower branch should not be cut off?" Shiso looked at the girl inexplicably, then looked at the camellia on the table, and replied carefully: "This flower branch has not grown yet, but it is okay to keep it." ”

The girl nodded, "If this branch grows well, it will add a little luster to this flower, if not, ......" The girl said, picked up a small golden scissors on the table, and cut it on an abrupt branch on the side with a click. Shisu's eyes were slightly cold, and he smiled lightly and stopped answering.

"Recently, the situation in Beijing and China is quite complicated, and it is inconvenient to come here to meet, if there is an emergency, follow the rules of the cabinet."

"Yes."

The girl finished speaking, and played with the camellia back and forth, and when she saw that there were no more side branches, she chuckled out with satisfaction.

The lights are on. In the study of Jiang's mansion, Jiang Kun was still sitting at the table and reading. At this time, the door of the study opened, the breeze blew, and the candle flame on the table couldn't help shaking, Jiang Kun raised his head, watched Mrs. Jiang walk to the table with the food box, put the food box down, hurriedly stood up, and called: "Mother." ”

Mrs. Jiang took out the soup in the food box, "Kun'er, why don't you go to the front hall to eat?" ”

Jiang Kun picked up the soup bowl on the table and drank the soup slowly, "The child doesn't want to see him!" Mrs. Jiang sat down and watched Jiang Kun mention Jiang Lin, her brows furrowed slightly, her face was angry, and even the hand holding the soup bowl couldn't help but push harder, so she asked him: "If it were you, how would you solve this dilemma?" ”

Jiang Kun put down the soup bowl, looked out the window with a long look, and after a while, he spit out a word: "Wait." Mrs. Jiang nodded approvingly, Jiang Kun looked at her mother, and then sighed: "Mother, you know that this holy return to the dynasty will not cure my Jiang family's crimes, no matter how my father is, it is also in his prime, at this time my court is unstable, there are princes coveting the throne, and there are barbarians eyeing the outside, after a while, the emperor will still send my Jiang family to lead the troops to quell the chaos, my father is so privately friendly with King Ning, if the emperor returns to the court safely, how can there be a place for my Jiang family?" If I wait, but I will only be idle for a while, how can my Jiang family afford to be accused of plotting to usurp the throne? ”

Mrs. Jiang got up and walked to Jiang Kun's side, and Jiang Kun hurriedly stood up. Mrs. Jiang looked at her son, who was already much taller than her, and she pulled Jiang Kun to sit, Jiang Kun looked at her mother a little blankly. Jiang Kun has never seen Madame Jiang have such a look, whether it is in the current territory of the enemy, or the chaotic court when the emperor was critically ill, he always sees Madame Jiang's calm and indifferent, he grew up in front of his mother, Madame Jiang has never shied away from him when giving advice to Jiang Lin, he knows what kind of exquisite thoughts his mother has, but at this time, although Madame Jiang looked at him lovingly as before, but behind this love, he actually saw some resolute taste in his mother's expression, as if he wanted to give up something. Mrs. Jiang took Jiang Kun's hand, "Kun'er." There was a faint tremor in her voice. On weekdays, you refuse to marry in the name of not making meritorious contributions, and after this incident, you will get married. ”

"Mother, I ......"

When Mrs. Jiang saw what Jiang Kun was going to say, she gently hugged Jiang Kun's head and hugged her, and whispered: "My mother only has you as a son, even if you are a little uncertain, my mother will not let you take this risk." ”
