Chapter 150: Unstable
Xiao Rui said: "Lord Jiang, this king knows that back then, the matter between you and the Su family was the fault of the Su family. At that time, it was Sipin Jing Zhaoyin, the younger brother of Su Liuli, the crown princess of the Su family, who committed something. not only robbed the people's daughter, but also occupied the farmland and robbed the family of an ancestral treasure. People sued all over the capital, and no one dared to offend the Su family. In fact, no one dared to offend the prince. ”
"However, you took over this case, you avenged that family, and beheaded Su Liuli's younger brother according to the criminal law of the Great Zhou. Can the prince not be jealous of you about this matter? The prince demoted you to Ba Province, in fact, it was the result of your father's protection of you. If you didn't have your father, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago. No wonder, you are discouraged by the government? However, how can you be sure that this king can fight the crown prince and the king of Jin? ”
Jiang Rui heard Xiao Rui mention the past, smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that the prince knows Jiang's past so clearly. I also thank the prince for his appreciation of Jiang, and thank the emperor for his protection of Jiang. However, Jiang never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would ascend the throne. ”
Xiao Rui's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help asking, "Oh, why?" In his previous life, he never thought that the real second brother would one day replace the eldest brother's position as the crown prince. However, the sudden outbreak of the prince's rebellion caught him off guard. In fact, it also caught Emperor Changping off guard, although the crown prince did not succeed, but Emperor Changping's lifespan was still affected. In his previous life, no one thought that the prince would rebel, even the national teacher, and Qin Mingyue, the disciple of the national teacher, didn't know, how did Jiang Rui know?
Well, of course, in this life, not only Xiao Rui knows, but Qin Mingyue, who has been reincarnated. Qin Mingyue also told the national teacher and the emperor, so everyone has taken precautions, but others don't know, what's going on with Jiang Rui?
Jiang Rui smiled coldly: "The prince looks at the stable position, but Jiang doesn't feel it." ”
Xiao Rui was interested: "Oh, I would like to hear about it." ”
Jiang Rui glanced at Xiao Rui, and for a while he didn't understand what kind of medicine Xiao Rui was selling in this gourd. I suddenly remembered that there were rumors in the capital that the third prince and the second prince had always had a good relationship, could it be that the third prince was recruited for the second prince?
However, this thought just flashed in Jiang Rui's mind, and Jiang Rui decided to say: "Okay, then Jiang will say it." The prince's mother's family is the Yang family. What the Yang family has done over the years, I want to come to His Royal Highness King Qin and have heard about it. I heard that the emperor has long been dissatisfied with them, and the Yang family is so arrogant, in fact, isn't it because the queen of the middle palace is the daughter of the Yang family, and the prince is the grandson of the Yang family? However, the queen is old and decrepit, and the emperor rarely goes to the queen's palace for a long time. The position is unstable, how can the position of the prince be stable? ”
"There is a foreign family like the Yang family, constantly dragging its feet, wouldn't the prince's position be even more unstable. That's it. Back then, His Royal Highness the Prince's wife was still very virtuous. Her maiden family also has a good family style. It's a pity that after the former crown princess gave birth to two children, she actually died. Empress Yang saw that the prince was blindly obsessed with mourning the former princess, so she simply married the prince a daughter of the Su family. ”
"Back then, Su Liuli was the first beauty in the capital, although her appearance was very beautiful, but was she heartfelt? Hmph, everybody knows that. She is not a virtuous person. The Su family also does not have a good family style. Relying on the power of the crown princess over the years, have you done fewer bad things? Back then, the case handled by Jiang was still the smallest, and when it came to investigation, the Su family was even more hateful than the Yang family. ”
"Don't these emperors know? Didn't the imperial history play? However, the emperor cared about the prince's face and couldn't bear it. ”
"These alone do not mean that the crown prince's position is unstable. The point is that there are people chasing after the prince. As a prince, you know better than I do. His Royal Highness the second prince, King Jin, is known as the Virtuous King. He is a virtuous king, so where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince placed? I heard that in the palace, Concubine Xian and Queen often fight in the ring. However, the emperor favored the virtuous concubine more. The other concubines in the palace were afraid of the power of the Yang family of the queen's mother, but the Li family, the mother of the virtuous concubine, was not afraid of the Yang family at all. ”
In this way, His Royal Highness the second prince, King Jin, wantonly recruited talents in the court, and Jiang was not virtuous, and he was also recruited. In such a situation, how could the prince not know? I heard that he had long hated the second prince. With such a thing, can the prince's position be secured? ”
"These are not the important things about the sin, the most important thing is the attitude of the national teacher. Our Great Zhou National Teacher is very powerful. The emperor was able to ascend the throne back then, all thanks to the empress dowager in the palace and the powerful Shen Guoshi outside the palace. The Great Zhou also stipulated that the candidate for the next emperor must be determined by the divination of the national teacher. ”
"In my Central Plains, not only the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the princes of many dynasties were abolished by the national teacher, I don't know how many. is now in the hands of Shen Guoshi, and the two princes of the former emperor have been abolished. It would not be surprising that there is one more prince today. Jiang is observing, Shen Guoshi only observes etiquette to the prince, and never has the intention of being close. You must know that before the emperor ascended the throne, Shen Guoshi and the emperor were friends who were irreversible. ”
Xiao Rui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the people in the capital had not seen through these things, but Jiang Rui, who was far away in Ba Province, could see it clearly.
Jiang Rui said: "Therefore, Jiang judged that the prince's position was unstable. Since the prince's position is unstable, the future storage position will be turbulent, and there will inevitably be swords and swords in the court. It is better to stay away from the wise. Therefore, at that time, Jiang could have avoided the case, but Jiang accepted it and sentenced him. First, take this opportunity to avoid the turmoil in the court and wait for the master. Second, Jiang couldn't get used to the Su family's gentleman, and wanted to let out a bad breath. ”
Xiao Rui laughed: "Lord Jiang, are you really a wise man?" I didn't expect that there would be such a reason for the case back then. Okay, Master Jiang told the truth, and the king should also be an honest person. This king tells you the truth, the position of the crown prince will definitely be vacant this year. Therefore, there is no obstacle at all for Master Jiang to go out of the court in the future. Dare to ask Master Jiang, are you willing to follow Xiao Rui? ”
In the end, Xiao Rui no longer called himself the king, but used his own name, which is Corporal Lixian.
Jiang Rui was shocked, he predicted that the prince would be on the throne, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Could it be that something happened in the capital? It's a pity that he is far away in Ba Province, and the news is lagging behind. The surprise on Jiang Rui's face, Xiao Rui saw it in his eyes. Xiao Rui said again: "Rui, invite Master Jiang to work together, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
This posture is low enough, but Jiang Rui was not moved at all, he smiled sassyly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qin, for your hospitality." Jiang is not talented and does not dare to obey his fate. ”
