Zhao Youzhi approached the house and saw that there was indeed a beautiful woman, holding a dagger across her neck at this time, leaning against the wall, staring at Zhao Youzhi coldly.

Zhao Youzhi sighed slightly and said, "Miss Miaoxiang, put down the dagger, this official is Wei Ran's uncle." ”

Hearing Wei Ran's words, Miaoxiang's dagger was put down involuntarily, but then she seemed to remember something and raised the dagger again.

"I am a Changqing concubine, and my wife, Princess Changqing, and Mrs. Dingnanhou are good sisters. Miss Miaoxiang don't worry. ”

Miaoxiang looked at Zhao Youzhi carefully, and saw that this person also had a little heroism between his eyebrows, and he was sitting in a precarious position, looking at himself differently from ordinary people, but there was a feeling of looking at his relatives, Miaoxiang believed it for three points, and slowly put down the dagger in his hand.

"I don't know what the pony is here?"

"Min Guan wanted to send you to the Southern Dynasty to Lu Cao, but I couldn't bear it, so I took this errand." Zhao Youzhi said lightly.

"I am a weak woman, I only think about this remnant of my life in this life, why do you refuse to let me go." Hearing this, Miaoxiang said desolately, tears sliding down between her eyes.

"I heard that in order to resist Min Shichuan, Miss Miao Xiang did not hesitate to hit the wall to express her heart. Today, seeing the scar on the girl's forehead, I thought it was a strange woman, but I didn't expect that I did look away. Zhao Youzhi didn't say much, turned around and wanted to leave: "I have redeemed my body for the girl, and the girl can leave Chang'an and fly away." ”

"The horse is slow, the world is big, where can I go. Unless a woman like me dies after all, she will eventually become someone else's plaything. Miao Xiang slowly walked to the table, sat down at the piano, and began to play.

The sound of the piano was full of endless bitterness, and Zhao Youzhi said abruptly: "I will send you to Lu Ke, the prime minister of Southern Qi, and at the same time, I will also send someone to inform Wei Ran." I know that you have affection for Wei Ran, if Wei Ran has you in his heart, he will naturally go to Lu Cao to save you, if he doesn't save you, he will naturally be ruthless in his heart. The girl is willing to gamble with her life. ”

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, "If it would hurt Gongzi Wei because of me, I would rather die." Miaoxiang's expression became more and more desolate.

"Will the girl believe me?" Zhao Youzhi suddenly laughed at this time, looking at the woman in front of him with pity.

Miaoxiang hesitated on her face, her heart was tormented in every way, and the expression on her face was even more uncertain, and finally sighed: "Please say it, donkey." ”

Xiao Heng was shocked by Kong Ji's suicide, and the emperor's intuition made him know that Kong Ke's matter must be another cloudy day, thinking of Lu Ke's various performances, which made Xiao Heng even more defensive of Lu Ke.

Xiao Heng summoned Zhongshu Ling Wang Zhenmo alone in the Shang study.

Wang Zhenmo is a well-known Confucian scholar in the south and the patriarch of the Biling Wang clan.

Xiao Heng said while playing against Wang Zhenmo: "Kong Ji's death and Lu Ke should be inseparable, what does Lord Wang think." ”

Wang Zhenmo said while falling: "Forgive the old minister's bluntness, the children of the scholar clan in Wu County and Huiji County are basically the leaders of Lu Xiang, and what Your Majesty doesn't know, Lu Xiang doesn't necessarily know." ”

Xiao Heng stared at the chessboard coldly, hesitated for a long time, and left a son: "At the beginning, Liu Yequan leaned into the opposition, and the queen died early after giving birth to Ju'er, I didn't dare to be too affectionate to Ju'er, and supported Lu Ke to try to balance Liu Ye." Unexpectedly, Liu Ye was careless and was kicked out of the court by Lu Ke. I wanted to find a chance to make Liu Ye recover, but I never thought that Liu Ye would die of illness at home. ”

"Wei Chen didn't hear anything about these words." Wang Zhenmo fell with peace of mind, and then stared at the chessboard silently.

"Luan'er is about to marry Northern Qin, and the marriage between Feng'er and Ju'er is also going to be stepped up, what do you say?"

"The Biling Wang clan is also a family that only made a fortune when he followed Taizu to fight the world, and it is a great blessing for my granddaughter to marry the prince as his wife. Wei Chen had told His Majesty at the beginning that this move was a goodwill to the release of the rising family. Wang Zhenmo took a sip of tea: "Actually, if Liu Ye hadn't completely offended the southern scholars, Ju'er wouldn't have had to be so difficult. ”

Wang Zhenmo's voice was a little hoarse: "The old man is dying of the old, and there are no excellent heirs in the family." I'm afraid I won't be able to help the prince much. ”

Speaking of Liu Ye, Xiao Heng was full of infinite regret, although Liu Ye likes power, but he is indeed a first-class loyal minister and capable minister, and he was originally a member of the southern scholar clan, but he completely violated the interests of the scholar clan and was finally excluded from the imperial court.

"Without the support of the Southern Shi clan, it will be difficult for Ju'er to sit firmly on the throne even if he ascends the throne. This is the reason why I have been conniving at Lu Cao, but now that Luan'er has also become an adult, under Lu Cao's influence, his ambition is even greater, and the southern scholars now have a heart for Luan'er, all of whom I know. But because there is no good solution, now a Sun Tai has forced me to transfer troops from the border. Xiao Heng suddenly threw away the chess pieces in his hand and looked at Wang Zhenmo without saying a word.

"Your Majesty's worries are exactly ah, the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Danyang County are under the painstaking management of Weichen, but Huiji, Wu County, Linhai, Yuzhang and other counties still have to rely on the scholars." Wang Zhenmo also saw and heard Xiao Heng's bitterness.

"It's not that I haven't thought about passing the throne to Luan'er, but in this way, Ju'er will definitely die and live. And it is completely controlled by the southern scholars, and the country will not last long. I don't know what Wang Aiqing's good plan is. Xiao Heng said abruptly.

"Your Majesty asked the Duke of Guangling County to be in charge of the prince's guard, didn't he just want the Duke of Guangling County to ensure the safety of the prince? It is better to go further, this time Guangling County has made a lot of meritorious contributions to the suppression of bandits. Princess Yanran has never been married so far, so it is better to marry Princess Yanran to the prince of Guangling County. Wang Zhenmo thought for a moment, and then gave a suggestion,

"Didn't Aiqing want to marry Yanran to the son of Da Sima before?" Xiao Heng was suddenly puzzled.

"Yan Ran's ration to Heng Xuan is the icing on the cake, but the promise to give Wei Ran is a charcoal in the snow. In this way, as the concubine of the dynasty, the prince of Guangling, and the prince of the guard, His Majesty can justifiably let Wei Ran control part of the military power to balance Lu Cao. ”

At this time, Wang Zhenmo suddenly got up, walked to the sand table placed in the center of Shang Shang's room, planted the order flag on Hefei, and said to Xiao Heng: "The original Northern Qin Ding Nanhou won the hearts of the people in Huaibei. Although the soldiers of Hefei are opponents of Dingnanhou, they also admire Dingnanhou, if Wei Ran is allowed to supervise the military of Hefei and Yangzhou, what does Your Majesty think. ”

Xiao Heng also got up and looked at the sand table at this time, and then exclaimed: "Miaoye." If the Duke of Guangling County can rely on his father's influence in Lianghuai to regain the land of Lianghuai, Ju'er can be regarded as having made military merits, and his prestige in the army is even greater. Lu Ke must not dare to act rashly. ”

Xiao Heng then said: "Come on, pass on Princess Yanran." ”

Seeing this, Wang Zhenmo said goodbye and left.

Not long after, Xiao Yanran entered the study room and saw Xiao Heng meditating on the sand table, and she didn't make a sound, just watched quietly on the side.

When Xiao Heng reacted and saw the daughter in front of him, he couldn't help but show love in his eyes.

"Yanran, you're not too young. It's someone who has an interest. Xiao Heng suddenly said to Xiao Yanran, Xiao Yanran was taken aback, and then her pretty face was slightly red.

"Father, you are disrespectful to the elderly." Xiao Yanran said with a red face.

"My father plans to marry you to the prince of Guangling, what do you think?"

"I don't want to marry Hengxuan." Xiao Yanran said casually, and then hurriedly explained: "Everything is up to my father." ”

When Xiao Heng saw his daughter's expression, he already knew it in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing.
