The two of them chatted for a while, then saw Agui walking in and closing the study door.

"Haha, I have been away for more than half a month, and the reason why I took the little princess with me is because the Mani Rebellion has just passed, and Hangzhou is not very peaceful yet. I am really worried about leaving her at home." Bi Chengan said,

The two brochures were handed to Jiang Ning: "This is your reward. Lao Xia went to the imperial study to get it for you. You kid, you really have some tricks to make Lao Xia so interested."

Jiang Ning took the book. This first book was a half-level promotion, from the fourth rank to the third rank. As a result, he was only half a rank behind the prefect and general. However, because of the special nature of Jing'an Division,

This reward was handed out secretly.

But when I looked at the second envelope, what was written on it was about the situation on the border.

Empress Xiao Yunshuang of the Great Yuan Dynasty went to the Turkic Royal Court, bringing only her family members and three thousand aguduo with her. She arrived on May 25. According to reports, the Turkic Royal Court sent Li Chengqian to lead Prime Minister Jin Wushu and General Tuoba Huang

Welcome, the specifications are extremely high.

After a month-long negotiation, the news just came back that Empress Xiao used some method to change Li Yuanhao's attitude and allowed her son to marry the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, Yelu.

Xia Yue, and he married his daughter Li Yunshuang to his elder brother

Prince Yeluduo of the Yuan Dynasty, in this way, completed the marriage and held a wedding at the border between the two countries. The time has not yet been determined. This requires both parties to negotiate many times because there are too many things involved. The most important thing is that both parties

Regarding the specification issue, Queen Xiao was still in the Turkic Royal Court at this time.

"This is the reason why I went to Yingtian Mansion this time. The right minister went to Yingtian Mansion to check on military affairs. After communicating with me, he met at Yingtian Mansion. This news is the conclusion reached after the two of us compiled the information. Now the question is,

It's getting a little tricky." Bi Chengan said worriedly.

Jiang Ning followed the topic and continued: "If this is the case, instead of fighting, the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Turkic Royal Court have achieved a political marriage. Once realized, the consequence will be that the Great Xia Dynasty will become the first target of attack. In this way,

It’s even more difficult to handle.”

"Yes, so I thought you were back, so I came to you and asked what you meant." Bi Cheng'an said: "I have heard a little bit about your affairs. Haha, it would be a good idea to set up my own business now.

hehe."

"Prince-in-law, please stop teasing me." Jiang Ning bowed his hand.

"Why are you making fun of you? There was a plague in the north. Lao Xia used your method to control the plague. This move was highly praised by the Holy One. Otherwise, you think that just with the Battle of Jinling, you can get rid of the plague.

From the fourth grade to the third grade? Haha,

Even Gao Qiu, who leads the army, is only a third-rank officer, but the capital still lacks a lieutenant, who is from the second rank. Now that Gao Qiu has gone back to treat him, he might be his. When we meet again, he will call him "Captain Gao."

"Bi Cheng'an explained the reason carefully.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then smiled slightly: "This tall man also has the Sacred Heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risen so quickly."

Bi Chengan chuckled: "You understand, otherwise, how could I have agreed to listen to your opinion?"

Turning back to the topic, Jiang Ning continued: "When it comes to the marriage between the two countries, the methods to deal with it are actually very simple and can be roughly divided into three types."

"Oh? Which three types?" When Bi Chengan heard this, he thought there was something interesting about this.

"The first option is of course that if the marriage is successful, then the fight will be over. However, judging from the current situation, it took three months of fighting for Fang La's kind of rabble to defeat them. What's more, the main warlord and the main force within the imperial court are now divided into two factions.

If you fight, there is basically no chance. You will lose as soon as you fight. Losing is not terrible. What is terrible is that if you ask for peace, what will you do if others are unwilling? If you continue to fight? Can you withstand it? So fighting is impossible, then

Let’s talk about the following possibility.”

"The second option is to prevent them from marrying and destroy it. Of course, you can't do it openly. Find someone to infiltrate and kill either of the two princesses or the two princes. You can blame the other before they die.

Simply sabotaging something is of little use, because everyone knows that this matter is very big. Unless the person involved is dead, this matter may become obsolete, and the person involved is the biological flesh and blood of the monarchs of the two countries. You

If a person with white hair sends a person with black hair, will this be revenge?"

Bi Chengan nodded: "Of course I have to retaliate."

"Yes, not only must we retaliate, but we must repay well. If we don't kill each other to the death, we will be sorry for the people in the world, and we will not be able to hold our heads up in the future. So this is the best policy, better than the first one. As long as they start a war, our chance will come.

Now, we will save whoever is about to lose, ensuring that neither of the two families can beat the other in a short period of time. Of course, it is also done in secret. Between the decline and the ebb and flow, in the end, the most powerful one must be the Great Xia Dynasty."

"So, the third option is the best strategy?" Bi Chengan smiled slightly.

Jiang Ning nodded: "It's not the best strategy, but it's slightly better than the second one."

"If you can't do this, then we can get married. If you two get married and form an alliance, I can do it too. I can do it on both sides. Isn't it also okay if the two princesses get married? We have many princesses in the Great Xia Dynasty.

We also plan in advance to make the daughters of several princes princesses, and then in two years when they are ready, we will also negotiate and form an alliance before stoking their relationship. When the new king ascends the throne, it is not certain who has the final say.

"Jiang Ning said:"

It is said that this is the best policy because it requires the least sacrifice, the people benefit the most, and it can maintain stability for a certain period of time. The Great Xia Dynasty has more time to prepare. It is said that it is not the best policy because doing so will lead to the royal family.

It is very shameless, and it is a very long-term work. It may take ten or twenty years to see the effect, but once there is an effect, it will be the best, because it may change a country."

Jiang Ning said this and took a sip of tea silently. He had not thought about these things for a long time, but when he really thought about it, he found that he was still worrying about some trivial things, which made him feel ridiculous. But one thing had already

It became a foregone conclusion, repeating silently in his mind.

For a long time, Bi Chengan didn't speak, and so did Agui.

It seems that Jiang Ning's opinion is very reasonable, and there are only three possibilities.

"Agui, you heard it, right? This is Jiang Ning. You were worried about him back then, but now?" Bi Chengan laughed and said to Agui.

Agui handed over his hand: "Young master Jiang is a great talent. He is strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. With just the information in a piece of information, he can analyze these three possibilities and point out the big plan for ten or twenty years. You

To be the chief ceremonial officer for Jing'an is a bit unworthy of my talents."

"Uncle Agui, it's just a coincidence. I can think of what others can think of, but I just don't dare to say it. I'm afraid that if I talk too much, I'll make mistakes. I'm afraid that disaster will come from my mouth. I just took advantage of it.

." Jiang Ning also stood up and cupped his hands.

Bi Cheng'an smiled: "You two should stop complimenting each other. Gui, please write down what Jiang Ning said and go to Yingtian Mansion in person. If you drive fast, you should be able to catch up."

"Yes, sir." Agui cupped his hands and went out.

Bi Chengan chuckled and said: "Today I asked you to come to my house for one more thing. It can be regarded as an entrustment. I have also heard about your family's recent affairs, and she also knows about it. I will leave for the capital soon.

The year is not what I expected, but judging from the current situation, it is not optimistic. The Queen Mother also misses Madam. I heard from Madam that Her Majesty's health is very bad. If she does not go back, Madam will regret it for the rest of her life."

"Entrusted by someone?" Jiang Ning was stunned.
