Chapter 144

One night later, nothing was done. I wanted to be Xiao Shao, but I didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary. But at least the relationship between them was a step closer. However, when they opened the door the next morning, they both looked cold, and there was no such emotion as shyness that everyone expected.

Everyone knows that they have made mistakes, so they should be punished.

After Xiao Shao left, Jiang Ruan sent the crowd to sit at his desk and pulled out a stack of books with a rough map of Southern Xinjiang to Tianjin. South Xinjiang is in the south of Dajin Dynasty. Across a river is Tianjin kingdom. Xiao Shao came back from injury outside Beijing the night before yesterday. Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Ruan felt that he had nothing to do with the south of Tianjin. He thought deeply that there might be something wrong with the battlefield.

However, after all, she had no way to go to the battlefield. Since the Tianjin counterattack was successful in the capital, Jiang Xinzhi no longer sent letters back home. The war situation was generally tight. But with Jiang Xinzhi's temperament, if he doesn't worry about her, he will pretend that everything is OK. Now that I haven't even sent a letter from my family, I'm afraid the war is already very fierce.

Jiang Ruan frowned. The state of Jin was ready to move. If the imperial court could send more reinforcements, it should be able to solve the problem.

But now the Zhao family's military power is only 200000, and there are still people in Beijing. The rest of the generals were either privately captured by the eighth prince or became Xuanhua. Xuanli would not have sent reinforcements obediently. Even if the Emperor gave an imperial edict, it was inevitable that Xuanli would do something in it. Jiang Xinzhi is now a sweet cake. With Xuanli's temperament, if he can't use it, he must abandon it and kill it.

Now if Jiang Xinzhi is really in prison, Xuanli is afraid that he will fall into the well.

Jiang Ruan stood up, pondered for a while, and said, "I want to go into the palace."

……

In the imperial study, the emperor put down his letter paper and knocked on the desk in front of him. After a while, he looked up at the young man in front of him: "ah Shao, do you want to send troops?"

Xiao Shao is silent.

"The mother won't agree." The emperor said, "in those days..."

"I've forgotten." Xiao Shao interrupted him: "the emperor does not have to mention."

"Well," the emperor said, "let's not mention this. I heard that you and Princess Hong'an were very close. The night before yesterday, you were injured and rested in Princess Hong'an's courtyard?"

"The emperor knows everything. There's no need to ask Wei Chen again."

The emperor said sternly: "she's the Jiang family!"

"So what?"

"Do you really like her?" The emperor was a little excited. Seeing this, Li Gonggong came over and patted him on the back. The emperor waved Li Gonggong's hand: "I know you have your own ideas, but Jiang Ruan can't do it."

"Why?" Xiao Shao asked.

"Why." The emperor repeated, "you know better than I who Jiang Quan is."

"She is also Zhao Guang's granddaughter." Xiao Shao reminds me.

"So what!" The emperor said angrily, "ah Shao, you can't tolerate any stain in your life. Princess Hong'an doesn't deserve you. I don't know anything. That woman has a deep mind. How can she raise her eyebrows with you? Moreover, although Zhao Guang had military power, he was too straightforward, and Jiang Quan was a poisonous insect. If you are with her, you will not only get no help, but also drag you down the muddy water. I've got a good idea. Governor Binhai Yao's age is similar to yours, and he's very proficient in military and cultural strategies. The forces behind Miss Yao can also help you and match you best. "

"Your Majesty is too worried." Xiao Shao's tone was cold: "I have my own opinions about my marriage, and I don't need your Majesty's trouble."

"You --" the emperor seemed to be very insistent on this matter, and said coldly, "if I want you to marry Miss Yao, I will marry you tomorrow. How about you?"

Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows: "that minister had no choice but to resist the order and refuse to marry, and his head fell to the ground."

The emperor coughed again. Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Shao said, "the southern Xinjiang is in a hurry to be in power. Your majesty doesn't have to concentrate on the trivial matters of the minister. As for Miss Yao..." The long dark eyes are deep and cold, and the tone is plain: "if your majesty gives you a marriage, it's not to let down a life."

Then he left without looking back.

Mr. Li held the crumbling emperor. He took out a small porcelain vase from his arms and poured out two pills for the emperor to swallow. The emperor's face was better. But his expression was a little rusty, and he sighed: "he disobeyed me for that girl."

"Your Majesty." Mr. Li Wenyan advised: "you have seen the temperament of Mr. Xiao since you were a child. What you have decided is that you can't get nine cows back. Your majesty has just said that. Lord Xiao must be unhappy in his heart. He spoke in a more blunt tone, but his mind is not beside him. "

"Of course I know he's not different." The emperor pressed his forehead and heart wearily: "I think about him everywhere. Miss Yao is knowledgeable and reasonable. She came from all walks of life, and I have seen her with my own eyes. It's wonderful. If governor Yao becomes the assistant of a Shao, it will be much easier in the future. I've paved the way for him, but he won't go my way. "

"Lord Xiao is still a young man after all." Li Gonggong advised: "maybe the princess and he really have different friendship. Lord Xiao attaches great importance to friendship and righteousness, and he is not a follower."

"There is a shortcut, but the most difficult one." The emperor snorted coldly: "Jiang Ruan is really a smooth woman. I can see clearly that she has a deep heart, but her temperament is very cold. Ah Shao's temperament is very cold. How can such a woman live well? Jiang Xinzhi's two brothers and sisters have their own ideas and are not easy to control. Especially if Jiang Xinzhi has a different mind, the world will not be in chaos. "Li Gonggong didn't know how to comfort him. He knew that Xiao Shao was a disaster in the emperor's heart. The emperor was wise and resolute in other matters, but when it came to Xiao Shao, he couldn't see the situation clearly. How can Xiao Shao be manipulated by others for his temperament? Now that he has made that remark, if the emperor really ignores the marriage, I'm afraid the next day the Yao family's gold will disappear in the world. What Xiao Shao did was something that father-in-law Li had seen. At that time, the Yao family and the royal family turned against each other, which was a major disaster.

The emperor sighed: "forget it, we'll discuss it later." From the beginning, he intuitively disliked Jiang Ruan. It's strange to say, but people in high positions are especially sensitive in some ways. For example, every time Jiang Ruan talked to him, although he didn't see much, he always seemed to feel a touch of resentment and hatred. The feeling was very weak. The emperor noticed that he was not used to Jiang Ruan. In his opinion, Princess Yuanrong is the most noble princess in the world. She is gentle, considerate and considerate. But at the beginning, empress Yide insisted that Jiang Ruan was somewhat similar to Princess Yuanrong, but in fact, from what happened to Princess Chen Guifei, it can be seen that Jiang Ruan did not appear gentle and magnanimous on the surface, on the contrary, her nature was very stingy, but she just hid it deeply. After knowing that Xiao Shao had an unusual relationship with her, the emperor sent people to investigate the things that Jiang Ruan had gone through. The more he went on, the deeper he felt that Jiang Ruan's city was.

The emperor did not allow Fang, a dangerous man, to be around Xiao Shao. He didn't know why he didn't like Jiang Ruan. I'm afraid it's just the hatred he owed in his last life. There are many things in the world that can't be explained clearly.

……

The conversation between the emperor and Xiao Shao was like the Dragon birthday incense burning in the imperial study, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Jiang Ruan met empress Yide, talked with her for a while, and went back to the Princess Palace with Tianzhu.

Fang went to the door, but met an acquaintance, the fourth Prince xuanlang.

Xuanlang is the fourth prince, but he is wearing a half new dark brown brocade. He only has a jade pendant on his waist to decorate his whole body, which is very simple. However, in the eyes of those who have a heart, I'm afraid they will just feel that this is just a prince who is not in favor. Seeing Jiang Ruan, the fourth prince came forward and made a bow: "princess."

Xuan Lang seems to be used to flattering others on weekdays, with a trace of imperceptible humility in his tone. Listening to these words in Jiang Ruan's ears, he felt like a hundred percent of Jiang Dan. But on his face, he replied with a smile: "Your Highness."

This attitude made xuanlang's eyes flashed a little hurt, but it was fleeting. He said with a smile: "I heard that the war in Tianjin was tense, and I thought that the princess must be very worried. Now that the princess is in a good mood, I can rest assured. "

Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows. He was not afraid that he would ask, but that he would not ask. If it's true, the affairs of Tianjin state have something to do with Xuanli. Isn't it that xuanlang deliberately "bumps into her" to test her attitude? At the same time, she also wanted to see what ideas these people were fighting and what they were testing?

"How could it be all right." She sighed a little, her eyes turned to dim, and her tone was a little melancholy: "big brother killed the enemy at the border, but I enjoyed the safe and stable life with ease. At the moment, the war is tense, and my elder brother has not sent a letter home for a long time. Whenever I think of this place, I feel very uneasy. "

Xuan Lang's eyes flashed, and he carefully observed Jiang Ruan's face. Seeing that she didn't look like a hypocrite, he comforted her and said, "deputy general Jiang Ji has his own appearance, and he is also a natural God of war. That day, the state of Jin was just a tiny place. How could it win? Don't worry, princess. Your brother will come back in triumph. "

Jiang Ruan laughed: "thank you for your comfort." It's just that the smile is a little bit reluctant.

Xuan Lang shook his head and said, "I've heard from my father, but now the war is a little tense. Although Tianjin is a tiny country, it has excellent smelting technology and sharp sword and shield. Plus the tactical cunning, ah... "

On hearing xuanlang's words, Jiang Ruan's expression changed again and reluctantly said, "what your highness said is true."

Her uneasy appearance fell in xuanlang's eyes. Xuanlang had more confidence and said unintentionally: "if only general Wu could send troops."

"General Wu?" Jiang Ruan was puzzled.

"The princess doesn't know much about the imperial court." Xuanlang explained with understanding: "general Wu is also a military general. There are a lot of good soldiers under his command, and each of them is a good hand. He used to guard Xirong, but as early as a few years ago, Xirong bowed to the throne, and the Wu family army retreated from Xirong. General Wu has not brought any more soldiers these years, and he is worried that the heroes have no place to fight. With the help of Wu's army, general Wu will come out of the mountain again and want to conquer Tianjin. It's just around the corner. "

Jiang Ruan's eyes drooped, general Wu. Naturally, she knew this general Wu. Xuanli left the upper position in his previous life and gradually encroached on those who were not his school. He suppressed the Zhao family everywhere and promoted the Wu family at the same time. The Wu family and the Zhao family are the old meritorious officials who accompanied the former Emperor to fight. But after the death of the old general Wu, the present general Wu is a self willed and self righteous man. Even more ambitious, delusion to sit in the big Jin Dynasty "first" position. In the suppression of the Zhao family, we spared no effort.

In the last life, when she was put into prison, she heard that it was the general Wu who was taking people to arrest the people in Zhao Jiaquan's family.Jiang Ruan lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Xuan Lang stared at her. Jiang Ruan raised his head and said, "what your highness said is, why don't you let my grandfather's uncles be reinforcements? Isn't it more convenient? "

"General Zhao's soldiers are guarding the key points of the capital. How can they get away from people?" Xuan Lang shook his head: "besides, the relationship between deputy general Jiang and General Zhao. My father won't let the Zhao family send troops? "

Is this to sow discord? Want their brother to be cold hearted to the emperor? Jiang Ruan's smile on his lips was fleeting, but for a moment he had changed his expression: "that...". What shall we do? "

"Don't worry," Xuan Lang thought for a moment and hesitated. "Badi has a good relationship with general Wu. If Badi can speak..."

"Eight princes?" Jiang Ruan a Leng, urgent way: "can ask eight princes to help persuade general Wu?"

"At the end of the day, it's not my father's mind." Xuanlang seemed helpless, shaking his head and saying, "besides, what father and Emperor hate most is that ministers and sons cling to each other. Eight younger brother is so bold to say, afraid will cause father emperor's suspicion

"What about that?" Jiang Ruan's voice was a little disappointed.

Xuanlang took a look at her and said, "princess, I don't know if I should tell you something."

"You said Jiang Ruan looked at him.

"In fact, it's not totally out of the question." Xuanlang road.

"What can I do?" Jiang Ruan's eyes brightened and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Now it's time to choose a concubine. At the beginning, because of the imperial concubine's affairs, my father always had some prejudice against him. Fortunately, a few days ago, he took the initiative to ask about his marriage. He once told me that he already had someone in his heart. " He looked at Jiang Ruan and saw that he didn't show a sulky expression. Then he continued: "if Ba Di and the princess become relatives, there is no such precedent in the great Jin Dynasty. At that time, the princess proposes to help the princess again. As a husband, it's natural for Ba Di to help the princess. It's also natural to recommend general Wu to his father. "

"I Your highness Asked Jiang Ruan.

Xuan Lang nodded, as if for some reason: "this is not really a good idea, but there is no other way at the moment. If the princess wants to save Jiang's deputy general, this is the quickest way. Eight younger brothers are infatuated with the princess. The princess should be able to get along with eight younger brothers. "

"What can I do with my parents' orders and matchmaker's words?" Asked Jiang Ruan.

"It's easy." Xuanlang said: "as long as the eighth younger brother asks his father to marry him."

Jiang Ruan sneered in his heart. It's easy to say that she would ask for a marriage. I'm afraid that in the end, it's still up to empress Yide. If she really doesn't want to, empress Yide won't force her. It is for this reason that Xuan Li asks Xuan Lang to lobby to confirm that she will not refuse.

She was still thinking about what idea Xuan Lang was trying to make, but she didn't want to make it to her. It's a good calculation.

Marry her, and then take Zhao Jiana as his own. Jiang's family is his own. Isn't Jiang Xinzhi just letting him have fish and meat? Even the last thing that let general Wu send troops was to borrow her situation. In the end, if he really wins, won't all the credit go to Xuanli? It's a business that won't lose anything!

It's just Xuanli really wants general Wu to send troops to help Jiang Xinzhi, but she can't believe it. I'm afraid that if Jiang Xinzhi showed a little bit of mind that he would not submit to Xuanli, general Wu would stab him in the back without hesitation. Even if Jiang Xinzhi didn't show that intention, with general Wu's narrow-minded and jealous temperament, it's hard to guarantee that he will have a different mind when he meets Jiang Xinzhi, who has made outstanding military achievements at a young age.

Xuanlang thinks that this statement is perfect. You should know that Jiang Xinzhi is Jiang Ruan's weakness. The two brothers and sisters are very affectionate. Jiang Ruan is a woman after all. He is easy to be emotional. When he hears about Jiang Xinzhi, he is not immediately anxious. But after waiting for his answer, he could not help but feel a little anxious. Jiang Ruan raised his head, but he did not look helpless and flustered as Xuan Lang thought. The expression was cold and calm, and the slightly upturned eyes showed some clear sarcasm. Under such eyes, the people who almost wanted to see ran away in confusion.

"Princess..." He was about to speak.

"Your Highness is so proficient in current affairs." Jiang Ruan smile, a word will successfully let xuanlang look changed. She looked at xuanlang with a smile rather than a smile: "the eloquence of the fourth Royal Highness should really let his majesty see clearly the longitude and latitude in the chest of the court hall."

With a smile and a sigh in her voice, Xuan Lang was in a cold sweat.

Who is he? He is the most incompetent and mediocre prince in Dajin Dynasty. Anyone can despise him, the most incompetent, but also the safest. At the beginning, several princes died more or less suddenly. Why did he survive alone? Not because he was lucky, because he was stupid!

Even if that stupid, is to pretend!

In fact, although he was mediocre and had no great talent, he was not as stupid and cowardly as many people expected. Before several brothers than he intelligent and sensitive and what a good end, is not the same as a yellow mud.The emperor knew that he could not bear the responsibility, and the courtiers also knew that he had no ability. In the whirlpool of seizing the throne, he was always abandoned. He is humble and small. Among all his brothers, he only takes a fancy to Xuanli.

On the surface, he was close to the prince, but in fact he was Xuanli. No matter how incompetent a person is, he has been pretending to be a fool for more than ten years, but he still yearns for power in the royal family. Although I know that he is not qualified to compete for the highest position, it is also good to be a little higher than his current position.

Xuanli has a mask of a gentle gentleman. Why doesn't he? But this mask is not good-looking, she is humble, cowardly, timid. But it's just like the poisonous snake, insect and ant hidden in the dark. It looks insignificant, but it can give people a fatal blow at a critical time.

He is a transparent sword used by Xuanli in the palace.

But what did Jiang Ruan mean just now? To let the emperor know that he is so concerned about current affairs, even a fool knows that he pretends to be stupid in his ordinary life. Isn't it a bad thing? Once bad things happen, even Xuanli will not let him go easily.

Xuanlang reluctantly smiles: "princess, I'm not good at learning..."

"Where, where," Jiang Ruan said in a relaxed tone, "Your Highness is clearly clear-sighted and has a good sense of response. If your highness knows that there is such a smart man around, isn't it superfluous for Taifu? " She smiles and looks at Xuan Lang's panic expression: "maybe the fifth highness will be very glad to know that his brother is so talented."

Listen to the tone of the opposite person, relaxed smile, where there is just a little bit of panic. If Xuan Lang didn't understand, he would be a fool. He knew that Jiang Ruan had just cheated her. She didn't worry about Jiang Xinzhi, this woman!

Jiang Ruan looked at her with a smile. Her skirt was slightly raised by the breeze, but her eyes were as bright as a spring, and there were some other things in them. She only felt that the cool Qinqin was like the wind in winter, and it was blowing through her heart, leaving a piece of cold ice there, which covered her whole body.

Xuan Lang said: "Princess. Is there someone in my heart that I don't want to marry my eighth brother? "

Jiang Ruan smile: "you said, what is it?"

Xuan Lang stayed for a while.

Tianzhu is still, dew looks serious, Jiang Ruan looks at him lightly. She knew that every word of today would eventually reach that person. He personally directed such a good play for her, she might as well let him down.

Calculate, who won't?

"My elder brother is fighting bravely in the front line. How can I be willing to get married in the capital. Even if they marry, they must be decent men. This great Jin Dynasty is not to be guarded by his daughter's family. Even I still know a way. How can your eighth brother not know? Then, I would not even ask your majesty to send troops to help and protect the people of Dajin Dynasty. How can I promise to give my life to him. Even the country has no courage to protect people, will one day even I can not protect? "

"I want to marry a man, not a soft one." Jiang Ruan smiles.

Xuanlang was speechless, but his forehead was sweating more. Today's words reached Xuanli's ears. How could Xuanli not be angry. At the end of the day, is it not anger to vent this anger on him?

"The princess's words are really serious." Xuanlang said: "eight younger brother is also helpless."

"The relationship between the fourth highness and the eighth highness is really better." She light way: "go back to tell your master, the thing of wishful thinking, that calls daydream!"
