Chapter 228 The Prince
The fourth prince watched Ye Twelve Niang disappear, turned around slowly, and stared at the sparkling lake in trance. Ye Twelve Niang's words made him feel troubled but he had no where to go.
The person who said it and what he said had nothing to do with him. He had no room for comment. But was it really irrelevant?
Jiang Hong wants to marry someone like Tian Tian... Then the proposal of marriage before the imperial examination last year was not only the intention of Jiang Hong's parents, but also Jiang Hong's intention? When did Jiang Hong meet Tian Tian? When did he have this delusion?
?Yes, he is the nephew of Princess Jiang of Nanning County. Naturally, he has many opportunities to meet Tiantian. The Shangyuan Festival of that year... That was the Shangyuan Festival that he remembered most clearly. Yes, that day
On the Lantern Festival of the same year, Tian Tian and Ye Twelve Niang went to a lantern festival to guess lantern riddles. The one who accompanied them all the way was Jiang Hong, and only Jiang Hong!
The fourth prince's heart felt greasy and astringent, and he felt uncomfortable all over. It seemed that Jiang Hong's delusion was not only born, but he was also courageous and dared to propose a marriage. A flash of lightning flashed in the fourth prince's heart, and his eyes shrank subconsciously, proposing a marriage.
!Lin Dalang said that he did not want to propose a marriage, but that he would come to propose marriage after Jiang Hong was elected! If he proposed a marriage, it meant that the two families had already agreed on the marriage. The Jiang family agreed, and the Li family agreed! Who can make the decision in the Li family?
Tiantian's marriage? The fourth prince's heart seemed to be twisted into a ball by an invisible hand. No one could make her decision except herself. If the Li family was willing, it was she who was willing, and she was the one who nodded. She wanted to marry
Jiang Hong, she actually wants to marry Jiang Hong!
The fourth prince's chest was blocked by a strong sour air. He felt like he couldn't breathe anymore. His heart felt like it was fried. She wanted to marry Jiang Hong! She had so much love for her, but she wanted to marry Jiang Hong.
!
Why did Twelve Niang say these words to him? What did she want to provoke? A thought suddenly occurred to the fourth prince, and his body stiffened for a moment, then gradually relaxed. He had watched Twelfth Niang grow up since he was a child, so how could she?
What kind of intentions? She and Lin Ke went to visit Jiang Shan. Lin Ke and Jiang Shan had no reason to instigate Twelve Niang to say this. They were overthinking it. Twelve Niang’s temper, this was just a matter of course, she
He couldn't think of that much at all. The fourth prince let go of the string and turned his thoughts back. Tiantian really wanted to marry Jiang Hong? With all her heart, did she really want to marry Jiang Hong?
The fourth prince's heart was filled with sourness and annoyance. The more he thought about it, the more pain he felt, and the more confused he became. He stared at the lake blankly, as if he was in a state of dementia.
Among the six princes, although the eldest prince is the eldest son, he has been brought up by the Queen Mother since he was a child. He is said to be noble and noble, but the Queen Mother is not the biological mother of an official family and has never raised an official family. However, because the Queen Mother is extremely favored by the late emperor, the official
The Queen Mother has attached herself to the family as an ally, but the Queen Mother herself has no children. Her biological mother died early and there is no family to support the official family. It is her best choice. The eldest prince is in the Queen Mother's palace, and his status as a hostage occupies more. More than ten years have passed.
It was extremely difficult. When the official took over the throne, the eldest prince had already grown up. The next year he opened a palace and got married. It was even more difficult than it was when he was in the Queen Mother's palace.
Before the second prince could grow up, his biological mother, Sun, committed a crime and died of illness quietly. At that time, the second prince said that he had a heart disease and was kept in confinement in the palace. After the official succeeded to the throne, there was no Sun in the harem.
, the second prince just moved to a larger place and continued to be imprisoned. Compared to the second prince, the third prince was not imprisoned, which was a little better. His biological mother was just a concubine, and the Shen family died early and had nothing to do.
She also made Concubine Wan a posthumous title.
Let’s not talk about the fifth prince. The sixth prince was born after the official family succeeded to the throne. Although his biological mother has been favored exclusively for decades, she has favor but no power. The person in charge of the harem has always been Concubine Ye, and the Ye family line is mostly used in the middle of the court.
, the Jiang family is like Concubine Jiang, she is pampered but rarely used.
Speaking of which, the fourth prince was the one who had grown up to be a noble man and was held in high esteem by all the stars since he was a child. Before he was born, Concubine Ye had already begun to take charge of the Qian Di.
As a queen, sons are more valuable than mothers, so the only son of Concubine Ye Guifei, the most noble in the harem, is naturally the most noble prince.
The fourth prince grew up in the hands of Concubine Ye and almost everyone. He had never had the experience or consciousness of having to let go. He didn't know what the word 'last resort' meant. What's more, Li Tian was with him.
It was a boy's true first love. Every little thing about Li Tian could disturb him. Today he unexpectedly learned that she had thought about marrying Jiang Hong. How could she have the idea of marrying someone else? He also
I don't know how to deal with the messy, sour and painful pain in my heart.
The study room in Prince Shou's Mansion was quiet, with only a flickering light. The eldest prince stood with his back to the window. Under the dim light, he looked lonely and desolate. Mr. Jiang, the staff member, looked at him with a heavy gaze and coughed lightly to break the news.
Jing Jing said: "Zheng Daguan actually made this trip in person, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide it from the officials."
"Yes." After a long while, King Shou responded in a low voice: "Master Zheng has been serving my father since he was a child. Since he dares to come, it's okay."
"That's good." Mr. Jiang breathed a long sigh of relief: "Master Zheng must not make any mistakes." King Shou said 'hmm' as if in response, turned around, walked slowly back to sit down, and gently smoothed the hem of his clothes.
, looked up at Mr. Jiang and said, "Sir, please tell me."
"I have long since..." Mr. Jiang coughed lightly, raised his hand to cover his mouth, swallowed the rest of the words, looked at the eldest prince and whispered: "I forgive you, I have to ask, I have always been upright and upright.
, seems to hold on to something, but I don’t know why it is held on to? There is something in the words of the official family passed down by Zheng Daguan."
"Sir, you are a person who knows what is going on, so there is nothing to hold on to." King Shou paused and considered, "Sir, you also know that I grew up with the Queen Mother since I was a child. Before the Queen Mother passed away, she once
I have been told in private that although the official family will not appoint a prince, it has already promised that as long as I stay on track and make no big mistakes, there will be no changes."
Mr. Jiang's eyes flashed slightly. These words could not withstand scrutiny. The Queen Mother and the officials were just taking advantage of each other. Even the Queen Mother's death was somewhat unclear. The officials just agreed to the Queen Mother. It must be a temporary expedient.
, with the uncle’s scheming mind, how could he believe such a promise? Besides, although the uncle grew up in the Queen Mother’s Palace, he didn’t have much affection for the Queen Mother, so how could the Queen Mother make plans for him? The uncle has always been determined, and he also thinks it’s okay.
Such a promise, but this promise must not come from the Queen Mother, maybe from an official? No matter who it is, if the uncle can believe it without any doubt, it must be extremely reliable. Since the uncle refuses to say it clearly, he naturally cannot challenge it.
"No wonder," Mr. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My uncle is a loyal and honest man. If the Queen Mother says this, I will naturally obey it. But the official family," Mr. Jiang paused, looked at King Shou and smiled bitterly: "My uncle, forgive me.
I am guilty of making false statements. Although officials are extremely filial people, there has been no father or son in the heavenly family since ancient times. This is because the officials are connected to the country and the country, and the welfare of all the people has to put the country first, followed by family affection. The officials have great talents and strategies.
If the uncle just insists on keeping the peace, how can he get into the eyes of the officials?" King Shou raised his head slightly and looked at the dim roof. After a while, he sighed and said: "My father has a sharp eye and knows people. He can see all our brothers.
It’s clear.”
Mr. Jiang's brows suddenly furrowed. Before he could speak, King Shou waved his hand and said, "Sir, there is no need to say more. I know what dad means, him!" King Shou stood up impatiently and paced back and forth a few times.
With a long sigh, he turned to look at Mr. Jiang and said, "Sir, please come up with a plan for me to challenge."
"Uncle wants to ask for a war? Why is this so?" Mr. Jiang was startled. King Shou sat back on his chair, looked at Mr. Jiang and said with a wry smile: "My father once scolded me for being lenient and asked me to take care of it.
The Ministry of Punishment wants me to hone my character." King Shou's words were extremely euphemistic, but Mr. Jiang was horrified to hear that he had stepped on thick blood all the way to become an official. He had high hopes for it.
Uncle, I blame you for being too lenient. I have been with the officials since I was a child. First of all, I have killed many people. Secondly, I have never left any trouble, and I will not be soft. Among the princes, only one has actually killed with a sword.
Sir, the officials accuse him of being lenient. To whom is this lenience directed?
Mr. Jiang shuddered slightly, looked at King Shou and said in a low voice: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, after all, it is his own flesh and blood..." Mr. Jiang did not dare to say any more, King Shou lowered his eyelids, and after a while his voice became even.
He opened his mouth and said: "My husband said that there is no family relationship between father and son in the Tian family. This is what my father wants, and this is the only way I can do it. I was wrong in my thinking before. What my father wants is the person in his heart. My father said
, the master must first learn to be lonely, Taoist and widowed. Okay, let’s not talk about this. I am afraid that my father has already had the intention of asking me to fight. If this deal is accurate, the supply of food and fodder for the rear army will be a big deal. And in this capital, my father’s body
It’s getting worse and worse.”
"We are too late to prepare. The fourth master has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he has already prepared for this trip. He recommended the crown prince of Dongyang County to go on an expedition, and the fourth master was in the middle to arrange military supplies and food. This is an undefeated situation. Now that the uncle is going to the expedition, this
If you recommend someone else to coordinate the matter, first of all, there is no one more suitable than Fourth Master, and secondly, it is too... It really doesn't look good." Mr. Jiang was vague about what he said later. It is normal for a master to ask for help. It would be best if he avoids logistical arrangements.
If the fourth master is suitable and recommends another person, the appearance will be too ugly.
"Sir, what you are saying is that even if you recommend another person for central dispatch, you can't bypass the Household Department. Food and grass are a big deal. If something happens, you will get into trouble with the Household Department. If you can't tell right from wrong, you still have to recommend the fourth child."
Shou Wang said while thinking attentively: "Lao Wu will be the supervisor." King Shou suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed brightly, and turned to look at Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang touched his palm and said in surprise: "Let the fifth master take care of the general."
Supervisor, is it for today?"
"I recommend Lao Wu to assist Lao Four in making arrangements. Lao Wu seems tired, but in fact he knows very well, that is..." King Shou frowned slightly and did not say any more.
Mr. Jiang looked at him clearly and smiled bitterly: "The fifth master is very smart. Except for the second master, he gets along well with all the masters. Although he and I have become much closer after getting married, our relationship is still shallow in the end. I am also a little worried.
