Jing Xuan looked at her, still puzzled, and said, "Yan Wuchou told me that there is an heir in the Qiang Kingdom, but it is not him, it is the royal blood of the Qiang Kingdom." ”

Chu Huan's brows moved slightly.

Jing Xuan stared at his expression and said, "But as far as I know, the royal family of the Qiang Kingdom has not had any other bloodlines for so many years, could it be the children of the four major families who have been married to the royal family?" But if so, there is no one more suitable than him. ”

Chu Huan smiled as if unintentionally: "Maybe the Qiang State still has other orthodox bloodlines, in the end, the Qiang State is like this, there was no prince, and there are other bloodlines, so naturally they have to hide it and keep it as the king." ”

Jing Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Wang Fang? ”

Chu Huan explained: "It is the biggest hole card. ”

Hearing this, Jing Xuan pondered, and it seemed to make sense.

Only when there are still hidden hole cards and I believe that there will be no successor, can the emperor of the Qiang State sit on the throne with peace of mind and not worry about the disaster of chaos in the future.

He should be a wise king.

Jing Xuan wondered again: "Yan Wuchou also told me that this time, he was indeed ordered to talk about the alliance with Da Zhou, not only the meaning of Emperor Qiang, but also the meaning of their prince, which surprised me." ”

Chu Huan smiled and asked, "What's the accident?" Between nations, whether they are alliances or belligerents, it is just a common thing. ”

Jing Xuan disagreed: "I thought that since the Qiang State has no hidden danger of chaos, there is no need to check and balance the three kingdoms, it should be happy to see the two tigers of the Great Zhou and the Northern Zhai fighting, just like for so many years, how can they be willing to help the Great Zhou restrain the Northern Zhai now?" ”

Chu Huan was slightly surprised, it turned out that Jing Xuan also knew that many contradictions between the Great Zhou and Bei Zhai over the years had the handwriting of the Qiang State in it.

Indeed, since he has watched the tiger fight for so many years, according to normal speaking, it should be continued, so as to be conducive to the stability of the Qiang State, the Great Zhou and the Northern Zhai are both defeated, and the Qiang State is even more dominant.

But now, the Qiang State has given up the benefits of such fishermen's profits, and is willing to help the Great Zhou balance the Northern Zhai.

Chu Huan was a little tired, and he had good intentions, but he seemed to have other intentions.

She helped her forehead and said: "Maybe it is because Bei Zhai is ambitious, not only has a desire to encroach on the Great Zhou, but also covets the Qiang State, the enemy of the enemy is an ally, compared to the Northern Zhai with the ambition of the wolf, the Qiang State is naturally more willing to form an alliance with the Great Zhou,"

"In any case, since the Qiang State has the intention of forming an alliance, it will not hurt if you try your best to facilitate this matter."

That's just as well.

It's just that Jing Xuan is still skeptical.

。

On the morning of the second day, a slip of Wenchen Yushi asked for Jing Xuan to be the crown prince, which was a bit unexpected.

Jing Xuan did not go to the early dynasty, and he also learned about it after the early dynasty.

Hearing that, after the ministers played, except for a few people who stood on the queen's mother and son on the surface, the others all seconded the proposal, almost putting pressure on the emperor.

"Your Majesty's face is very bad, only said that this matter is very important, and we have to discuss it again, and wait for the envoys of all countries to leave after the birthday banquet, and then talk about it, the most important thing at the moment is the diplomatic relations with all countries and ministries, and after the next court, I will go to meet the envoys of Bei Zhai."

After King Yan went down to the court, he came to the Ming Palace, and saw Jing Xuan and said about it: "It's just that when Your Majesty went down to the court, his face was very bad, but I was afraid that today's ministers will play the canonization of the crown prince, and His Royal Highness's prestige is too great, which makes His Majesty displeased." ”

As the emperor's cousin, after watching it for so many years, King Yan still understands the emperor's heart better, and knows that the emperor seems to favor Jing Xuan, but he is also very jealous of Jing Xuan, Jing Xuan can be excellent, but if he is too good, the emperor will be disgusted.

Back then, when Jing Xuan was in the limelight in the capital, he spied on some of the emperor's murderous intentions with the connivance of all kinds, and he knew that the emperor would not really like this son whose limelight and fame overshadowed him.

He wanted to remind Jing Xuan, but when the war broke out in the north, he didn't have time to remind Jing Xuan to go north.

When I came back, I was half-dead.

Now, Jing Xuan is better, and while he is happy, he is worried that Jing Xuan is jealous and disgusted by the emperor like back then, so in that situation this morning, he paid special attention to the emperor's face.

Jing Xuan smiled calmly and said sarcastically: "It should be the queen who is making a ghost out of it, and it is a trick to kill this kind of trick, these two husbands and wives are really nothing new." ”

King Yan said: "Although it is an old trick, but it is better to be useful, Queen Shen knows Your Majesty very well, knows Your Majesty's narrow heart, even if Your Majesty knows that this is or the queen's plan, she will be moved by it, today's out, I am afraid that Your Majesty is already in the throat, Your Highness still has to pay attention to it, and take precautions." ”

Jing Xuan said: "This king knows, thank you Uncle Wang for the reminder." ”

King Yan nodded, and asked about another important matter: "Your Majesty summoned the Bei Zhai people, probably to talk about the marriage, does Your Highness have a way to deal with this?" ”

When he came to visit, in addition to reminding Jing Xuan of his talents, there was also the matter of marriage.

Jing Xuan said: "My father had already decided yesterday to let Jing Yu marry Princess Bei Zhai, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed, and today's sudden occurrence of this matter, my father is like a fish in my throat, and I will not abolish Jing Yu and let me be dominant, but will hold Jing Yu to balance me, and probably the marriage will be variable." ”

Yesterday's emperor's decision King Yan didn't know, and he was a little surprised to hear it, and he also understood why the queen was so difficult today.

King Yan said: "His Royal Highness is different from the King of England, the King of England has no fame and prestige, if he marries Princess Bei Di, it will affect his qualifications to succeed to the throne, but His Royal Highness is not, and His Royal Highness already has a princess, so His Majesty can hit His Highness with his thoughts again." ”

Chu Huan sat on the side silently eating snacks and drinking fruit drinks, and raised his eyes when he heard the words.

"Uncle Wang thinks that His Majesty will let His Highness merge with him?"

King Yan bowed his head and said: "Yes, with the princess as a wife, even if His Royal Highness marries another princess, in the end, the princess will be slightly better in terms of reputation, and she will be able to press on the head of Princess Beidi in the future, which will not make people question that the throne of the Great Zhou will fall into the hands of the Bei Zhai people in the future,"

"But His Royal Highness married Princess Bei Di, and he was not immune to the constraints of her origin, and his prestige would be smaller, and he would not overwhelm His Majesty's prestige, so His Majesty would be at ease."

Jing Xuan said in a deep voice with a tense face: "I can't marry." ”

These words were said to King Yan, but they were more of a guarantee to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan listened, but there was no reaction, and after glancing at Jing Xuan, he thought about it.

King Yan sighed and said worriedly: "Your Highness, if Your Majesty insists on this, if you resist the decree, it will be ......."

In the end, there was something taboo, he didn't say the rest of the words.

Jing Xuan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and sneered: "What about resisting the will?" Could he really have ordered me to be put to death? ”

No, it won't.

The emperor's attitude towards Jing Xuan is extremely complicated, and he probably won't kill Jing Xuan personally, but he will definitely make Jing Xuan suffer.

Although King Yan didn't know much about the affairs of the north back then, he probably guessed that the emperor must have a share.

What we could do back then is now be.

At this time, after some thought, Chu Huan smiled and groaned: "Uncle Wang, Your Highness, are you thinking about things narrowly?" If you don't let the King of England marry, then it's not only His Royal Highness who can marry. ”

King Yan and Jing Xuan looked at her.

King Yan said: "The princess is talking about other princes and royal children? But at the palace banquet on the eve of Bei Di, it was said that His Royal Highness was because of the attitude of the Qiang State and was willing to retreat and seek second, and at most it was the successor of the King of England, who was not necessarily willing to settle again. ”

Chu Huan shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's not them, I have no grievances with those princes and royal children, what do I do to marry others?" ”

Jing Xuan looked at the cunning and evil taste in Chu Huan's eyes, vaguely guessed, and couldn't help squinting.

King Yan was still puzzled: "What does the princess mean?" ”
