Chapter 98: The Art of Balance
"Xiangye has seen the outside."
As he spoke, he asked the henchman little eunuch to put away his things before leaving.
After they left, soon, the emperor gave Jiang Fu the imperial gift and promoted Jiang Chun to be the captain of Jiao Xiao's cavalry battalion, and the news spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
Yun Tianyue and Xiao Jingxing naturally knew.
Along with this news, Jiang Dong gathered his clansmen, wrote a letter of resignation to Wei Wanying in front of everyone, officially divorced his wife, and splashed all the dirty water on Wei Wanying.
From then on, Wei Wanying was no longer a member of the Jiang family.
What she did had nothing to do with the Jiang family.
Now she is to blame, the Jiang family is still a capable minister by the emperor's side, he Jiang Donggui is the prime minister, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, even the regent does not dare to touch him easily.
Now that his son is also in office, he is still the captain of the emperor's personal guard Xiao cavalry camp, what a beautiful scenery?
Jiang Dong even faintly felt that Wei Wanying's whipping might not be a bad thing.
And that's a good thing!
Seeking such a big benefit for the Jiang family, how can it not be good?
Jiang Dong can be described as proud.
After hearing this, Yun Tianyue couldn't help but let out a sneer.
Xiao Jingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Any thoughts?"
Yun Tianyue picked up the teacup, skimmed the foam on it with the lid, took a sip, and then said, "I don't have any ideas, I just think it's ridiculous." ”
Xiao Jingxing came over.
"Tell your husband what a ridiculous way to do it?"
The man's sudden approach, the light and cold fragrance on his body came to his nose, Yun Tianrou couldn't help but breathe, leaned back a little with her upper body, and looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Jingxing raised his eyebrows again.
"What kind of incense do you smoke in this garment? Why does it smell so good? ”
As he spoke, he leaned in and sniffed the aroma on his body.
When she said this, Xiao Jingxing was also interested, lowered his head and sniffed his sleeve, but shook his head.
"I never let people smoke incense."
Yun Tianyue was stunned.
"Wouldn't it? You lied to me. ”
Xiao Jingxing said seriously: "What I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people in the room, I don't like incense." ”
After a pause, he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly made up for it.
"Of course, I like whatever incense you smoke, as long as it's the smell of you."
Clouds and Moon: "......"
She glanced at the man suspiciously, not wanting to be teased by this man again.
"Okay, if it's not smoked, it's not smoked, then maybe I smelled it wrong, you go over, don't keep coming over and blocking my light."
Xiao Jingxing: "......"
was disgusted by his own wife, so he could only retreat sullenly.
Yun Qianyue analyzed: "The things that Wei Wanying did, the movement is not small, after all, it was the county lord of Changping who died back then, looking at the Wei family, when the county lord of Changping died, they may not have come to Jiang's mansion to make trouble, but this matter is over, and it has been waiting for eighteen years before Sister Jiang turns it out." ”
"So I have reason to suspect that Jiang Dong definitely knew about this, but for some reason he chose to hide it and became Wei Wanying's accomplice."
"If he doesn't know, then there are only two possibilities, the first is that Wei Wanying is too smart, and the second is that Jiang Dong is too stupid to even see such an obvious conspiracy, but whether Wei Wanying is smart or not, we have already seen it, and Jiang Dong ...... Do you think he's stupid? ”
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiao Jingxing.
Xiao Jingxing's heart fluttered by her eyes that looked forward to Shenfei, and his hand couldn't help but reach over the table, clenched the hand she placed next to the tea cup, and nodded, "Well, he's not stupid." ”
After a pause, he added, "But it's not smart." ”
Yun Tingyue sneered.
"Yes, it's not smart, but it's more than enough to deal with such a trivial matter."
"And now, the emperor's reward for him may not really reward him, maybe it is the art of balance."
Thinking of this, Yun Qianyue's expression sank slightly.
The art of balance, who is the one to be balanced?
The answer is self-explanatory.
When the emperor died violently, because he did not find the edict left by the emperor, and did not set up a prince, the court in the palace was in chaos.
The emperor had a total of more than a dozen sons, and more than a dozen sons went their own way, and no one would give in.
It can be said that at that time, the entire palace was bloodied, and the Dayuan Dynasty had never seen this kind of chaos for decades, and the current emperor Xiao Yan at that time was the most hopeless person.
Because he had no power, no soldiers, and very few courtiers to support him.
Although because of his benevolent and virtuous governance, some people are willing to make him the emperor and think that he will be a wise monarch through the ages, but after all, others are soft-spoken, and there is no hope at all from the general trend.
Not only that, but because of his benevolence and wisdom, the rest of the brothers regarded him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.
His kindness shows their cruelty.
His wisdom sets off their mediocrity.
So they will never allow him to live in this world, let alone allow a lowly prince like him, who is usually trampled under their feet and bullied, but now he wants to ascend the throne and sit on their heads.
So, they sent men to assassinate him.
At that time, the emperor was really embarrassed.
The dignified son was forced to be like a lost dog.
Eventually, when did the situation slowly change?
It was probably Xiao Jingxing who came out with the Xuan Ce Army and openly supported and protected him.
It stands to reason that the two are not actually siblings.
He was the son of a cheap concubine, because his mother made a mistake, everyone in the family was imprisoned, and his mother was also stripped of his concubine.
It was Xiao Jingxing's mother, who was the queen mother at that time, who saved him.
not only pleaded with the emperor to save him, but also raised him under his knees and took care of him as if he were his own child.
Although within a few years, she died of illness.
But because of the nurturing grace of those years, he has always respected the queen mother, and has a very good relationship with the queen mother's son, that is, Xiao Jingxing.
Therefore, Xiao Jingxing brought the Xuan Ce Army out to support him at that time, and he was very grateful.
Although Xiao Jingxing was only ten years old at that time.
But he has been studying for a few years at the age of ten, not to mention that Xiao Jingxing is talented, very smart, and his IQ is different from that of mortals, if it weren't for his too young age, I am afraid that this throne will have no suspense at all, and it will definitely fall on his head.
But just because he was young, the eldest prince at that time was almost thirty years old, and he was only ten years old, and no one took him as a yellow-mouthed child in his eyes at all, which led to ignoring him.
But he didn't expect that he would unite with the people of the queen's mother family to support Xiao Yan together.
Later, Xiao Yan, with the assistance of Xiao Jingxing, successfully ascended the throne and successfully purged those courtiers and brothers who opposed him.
