"Your Majesty Mingjian, that little red girl is indeed a woman who is not afraid of life and death."

In the imperial study of the palace, Xia Yongtu recounted the whole process of his trip to Tianxiang Restaurant, and finally sighed again.

Especially when he recalled the experience of Panyan beating and scolding Xiaohong, he is still afraid.

If it weren't for him and Erma's timely action, Xiaohong might have lost ten lives.

And the snowflake salt formula that His Majesty has in mind will naturally not bear fruit.

"Your Majesty, the little red girl has already made a condition."

"Princess Erma is Lu An's nominal wife, and she must have a greater advantage in bringing Xiao Qingzi to the capital."

"Therefore, Lao Chen thinks that we should also send someone to Jiangnan as soon as possible and bring Xiao Qingzi over first."

After Xia Yongtu finished speaking, he looked at Xia Gang behind the imperial case, but saw Xia Gang's brows slightly locked, his fingers clasped on the desk, as if he was thinking about something.

"Uncle Huang, you said that the girl named Panyan really came to assassinate Xiaohong?"

Xia Yongtu didn't know the meaning of Xia Gang's words, but he still nodded and said, "It's true!" ”

"If it weren't for Lao Chen and Princess Erma to attack at the same time, Xiaohong would have died!"

"Hmm. So, shouldn't Xiaohong be acting with Panyan? ”

"Absolutely not!" Xia Yongtu was even more puzzled, "Your Majesty, do you doubt the authenticity of Xiaohong's mastery of the snowflake salt formula?" ”

Xia Gang shook his head, "It's not. ”

"Lu An handed over such an important snowflake salt recipe to Xiaohong Girl to take care of, maybe he took a fancy to Xiaohong's loyalty."

"And judging from Uncle Huang's description just now, Miss Xiaohong is indeed a loyal person."

"I just couldn't figure it out for a while, that little red girl was a blatant traitor, was it just to find a future for her husband?"

"If that's the case, Lu Annai is the crown prince of the previous dynasty, and he has the allegiance of Chu Yin, Lu Mancang, Mu Cun and others, even if he doesn't have the ability to unify the Central Plains, it's not impossible to be partial to Jiangnan."

"Why is she willing to bear the name of a traitor and go far and near?"

"Can't Lu An get a good position for his husband?"

I see!

Xia Yongtu immediately said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, that little Qingzi is just a small follower by Lu An's side, and now it is good to be able to follow Lu An without worrying about food and clothing, and marry him a daughter-in-law." ”

"And the little red girl is obviously not a woman without great ambitions, it has always been human nature to look forward to Shu."

"Maybe the little red girl saw through Lu An and Chu Yin that they didn't have a chance, so she had other thoughts."

"Speaking of which, if this little red girl is a man, she is an ambitious person!"

Xia Gang nodded, "Uncle Huang said no, fortunately Xiaohong is not a man, hehe." ”

"Forget it, Princess Erma must have already set off for Jiangnan at this time, so let's not join in the excitement."

Xia Yongtu was stunned when he heard this, "Your Majesty, let's not fight for the snowflake salt formula?" ”

Xia Gang glanced at the other party deeply, "Uncle Huang, Lu An and the imperial court are already on the same page, and Pu Zhen has arrested his wife again, do you think that if we send someone over at this time, will there be a chance?" ”

"On the contrary, it is Princess Erma, according to me, although Princess Erma and Lu An have the name of husband and wife, and the two have children."

"Although Princess Erma is a daughter, she has a man's ambition!"

"Before Lu An shows the ability to unify the Central Plains, she will not have much expectations for this marriage."

"In her eyes, the great cause of the Turkic nation is more important than her marriage!"

"I believe Lu An is also aware of this, so he doesn't have much expectation for Erma to be like a parter."

"So, I'm not optimistic that Erma will bring Xiaoqingzi from Jiangnan at all."

As early as when Xia Gang was still the Seventh Prince, he had secretly had contact with Pu Zhen and Chu Yin, and he knew Lu An and the people around him far better than Xia Yongtu.

After Xia Gang's analysis, Xia Yongtu nodded slowly, and then asked, "What about the conditions proposed by the little red girl?" ”

Xia Gang waved his hand, "Uncle Huang, don't worry, Princess Erma can't take Xiao Qingzi away, but it doesn't mean that others can't!" ”

"Don't forget, in addition to me and the Turks, there are also the four great families of Wang, Zhang, Lu and Chen who covet the snowflake salt formula!"

"And the Lu and Chen families rose in Jiangnan again, with a solid foundation, and if they want to take someone away from Jiangnan, they have a way."

"The imperial court can't enter Jiangnan for the time being, but it doesn't mean that I don't have any other way."

"Mu Lingfeng has been secretly taken back to the capital by me to be imprisoned, presumably the news will soon reach Lu An."

"It's also time to send a messenger to Jiankang and talk to Chu Yin and Lu An about the conditions!"

"With Mrs. Lu An and the child in her belly, I'm not afraid that Lu An won't give in!"

"In addition, any negotiation must have enough leverage to be more secure."

"Although Lu An's wife and children are in our hands, I don't think it's enough!"

"Uncle Huang, tomorrow you will personally lead 10,000 Imperial Forest troops to Nanyu Prefecture, and in addition, a total of 200,000 military horses from Si, Luo, Jing, Xu, Yan and other five states will also be handed over to Uncle Huang for temporary photography."

"Uncle Huang took these more than 200,000 elite soldiers to temporarily stationed in Nanyuzhou, and trained and built ships on the spot."

"In this way, I am not afraid that Lu An will not surrender!"

"In addition, if the four great families really catch Xiao Qingzi, the emperor can find an opportunity to rob it in Jiangbei, wouldn't it be more secure?"

Xia Yongtu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Xia Gang smiled indifferently, "But there is one thing that Uncle Huang should remember." ”

"The four great families have not fallen for thousands of years, and they have their own rules of survival."

"And I have just ascended the throne, and there are still many places where I need to borrow from the four great families."

"So, it's best not to openly tear your face with them."

"If you find out that the four great families have caught Xiao Qingzi, the imperial uncle should not show his face openly......"

Xia Yongtu agreed, "This point, the old minister naturally knows." ”

"Moreover, Lao Chen observed in Tianxianglou that the so-called four great families are in the same spirit, which is simply a joke."

"In fact, they are also intrigued, not monolithic, as long as the interests are enough, they may turn their faces at any time."

"yes!" Xia Gang smiled slightly, "At this point, I have also noticed that these families have always had a decisive influence on all dynasties, otherwise, the Great Cadre would not have been replaced by my Great Xia." ”

"Therefore, when the time comes, I will take advantage of the contradictions between them to break them one by one and completely solve the root cause of the family's troubles!"

"This matter is put aside for the time being, and there is no need to rush it."

"What I'm thinking about now is who to send to Jiankang, I wonder if Uncle Huang has a suitable candidate?"

Xia Yongtu blurted out without hesitation, "The old minister recommends Zhao You!" ”

"Haha-"

Xia Gang laughed when he heard this, "Uncle Huang and I thought of going together." ”

"Zhao You's villain is capricious, but that mouth is indeed suitable for Jiankang!"

"Besides, even if he fails, it can be regarded as a warning to him, and at the same time clear a piece of my heart, so let's arrange for him to run."
