"Then Shi Lan hasn't always cared about the kindness of our Chen family? How come Chen Yu and Liu Yan met?" Concubine Chen asked.
"Shi Lan expected that the prince would not do anything to him before the emperor came out of confinement. But we still had to protect him. Mr. Chen did not directly make any suggestions to save Shi Lan, but used the strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao to avoid disaster.
He was led to the Crown Prince's Criminal Department. He said that arresting bandits was the responsibility of his Criminal Department. Now, for more than half a month, there have been repeated tragedies, but the Criminal Department has done nothing. That's why His Majesty asked General Shi Lan to take charge of the arrest of the robbers. Now, not only is there a thief in the Criminal Department,
If they haven't been caught, even the Tianxingyuan can't handle the task of holding on to the fence, and its responsibility for letting the suspect go is even greater than that of the Wucha Division! The two sides started arguing about this, and they talked about the Jiangling Mansion's corruption due to the disaster.
, Regarding this matter, the prince's party will never give up." Liu Xuan said.
"Then what did the prince say in the end?" Concubine Chen asked.
"Humph, what else can he do? Just fine Hu Mao and Shi Lan three months of salary each and let the matter be over."
"Master Chief Assistant is still smart, Feng'er, you must learn from it." Concubine Chen said to Jiang Feng who was sitting beside her.
Jiang Feng has a medium to thin build. Although he is not short, he may be more like his mother. He is not as tall and strong as his brothers. His martial arts is average among the Jiang family. He is only just proficient in martial arts at the age of thirty.
Although Jiang Feng's literary talent was the most outstanding among the brothers, even Jin Yan, the former prince's young master, once praised him for his academic diligence and quick thinking. Now the chief assistant, Mr. Chen, is also the prince's grand master.
It was the teacher that the old emperor had found for him. Seeing his mother mention him, Jiang Feng stood up slightly and replied: "Yes, mother, the teacher has learned from ancient times to the present, and I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it."
Xu Xuan chuckled and said: "Our family knows a little about His Highness the King of Qi's reputation among the courtiers. We in Da Qi have always valued martial arts over literature. Although our family is also a rough man who practices martial arts, we also know that throughout the dynasties,
Except for the first two or three generations who governed the country with martial arts, in the future everyone will have to rely on martial arts to govern the country!"
The corners of Concubine Chen's mouth were slightly raised unnoticeably. The most promising prince and the King of Qin both spent their energy on practicing martial arts. Xu Xuan dared to speak like this in front of her. It was clearly a sign of loyalty. He was completely relying on
Come here, with the help of him, the head of the internal bodyguards, if the old man leaves in the future, there will be no fear that some people will cause trouble. Chen Feifu frowned again and said sadly: "Alas, His Majesty has been retreating more and more frequently recently.
The arrival time is getting tighter, and the retreat time seems to be longer. Eunuch Xu, I don’t know much about martial arts. Can you tell me, will your Majesty be fine?"
Xu Xuan's heart tightened. This was about to find out the old man's background. With Jiang Cong's suspicious character, if the news reached his ears, it would be the end of him. However, if Concubine Chen dared to ask this, she would not spread it, otherwise
Just the question she asked was enough to put her in the cold palace. She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice and replied: "Your Majesty suffered from the disease during his first personal expedition. Perhaps only by practicing Bei Mang Sheng Gong to the ninth level can you prolong your life. So these
After handing over the affairs of state to the prince in 1999, he never took it back. He devoted himself to practice. Although His Majesty had passed the eighth level ten years ago, the ninth level was extremely difficult and dangerous. In addition, he had accumulated many years of experience.
Internal injuries are progressing even more slowly. Last year, I retreated twice, which lasted more than a month in total. This year, I retreated three times, and this third time alone lasted a month. I don’t know the specific situation, but there are two possibilities..."
"Which two kinds?" King Qi asked.
Xu Xuan cleared his throat and continued: "One is that his health is getting worse, and the other is that he is getting closer and closer to the ninth level."
After all, King Qi was also a martial arts practitioner, so he asked tentatively: "Is it possible that my father is in both situations?"
Xu Xuan said: "Although the possibility is not very high, it is not impossible. However, Beimang's magical power is extremely domineering, and there are only a handful of people who can practice it to the ninth level. I think it is unlikely that the weak and sick will succeed."
Concubine Chen said: "Eunuch Xu, after His Majesty came out of seclusion the first two times, I found that his spirit has improved. Do you really not know about his spiritual practice?"
"Back to your Majesty, Jiang Xian personally protects His Majesty every time he retreats. Except for the two of them, no one else will know the details."
"Eunuch Xu, don't you still know what the grudge is between His Majesty and the Crown Prince?" Now that everyone has talked about it, Concubine Chen has nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, the old emperor has not been blessed with any concubines in the past ten years.
, everyone competes for the treasure based on their abilities, and there is no need to worry about which side is blowing the pillow. As long as nothing happens, he will always be the master of the harem over Concubine Xiao.
"I'm afraid no one except the emperor and the prince knows what caused it. King Oh Cheng may also know." Xu Xuan replied: "Since the third war of Qi and Zhou twenty years ago, our country of Qi has
There was a lot of profit, but for some reason, the hard-working King Cheng was stripped of all his power, leaving him with only an armament hall. From then on, the prince's power was gradually weakened. At first, he thought it was a bird doing its job, and he was afraid.
The two of them are very impressive, but now that I think about it, something must have happened between the three of them."
"Yes, if that were not the case, what else would we have to think about? Eunuch Xu, your majesty and our safety are at your service." Concubine Chen bowed and bowed slightly.
Jiang Cong's safety is of vital importance to all parties. Every time he goes into retreat affects everyone's heart. As a martial arts practitioner, we all know that it is precisely because of the danger that we must practice in retreat without any distractions. Therefore, many
Sometimes those in seclusion will go crazy and even die suddenly. There is no doubt that if something happens to Jiang Cong in seclusion, Prince Jiang Shan will legitimately inherit the treasure, and no one can shake his status; and within ten years, or even less than five years
, as the emperor gets older, the position of crown prince will definitely change hands. A few months before the emperor went into seclusion, he once had a chat with himself, lamenting the empress's virtue, and blaming himself for the lack of a master in the harem in the past few years, and seemed to have the intention to correct her.
, if she really becomes the queen, then it is logical that the next step is to depose the prince.
That conversation was leaked for no reason, which actually announced that the dispute between the King of Qi and the Crown Prince had turned from dark to clear. The most dangerous situation now is that the Emperor dies suddenly, and then the Chen family is liquidated by the Crown Prince, so Xu Xuan's support is not good for them.
It was extremely important to Concubine Chen, and the reward given by King Qi was also extremely high. From now on, Xu Xuan would be the chief eunuch who replaced Manager Tang.
"What a shame!" Xu Xuan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said to Concubine Chen: "Don't worry, Madam, our family saw that the emperor seemed to be fine and not too nervous before the retreat. I don't think he will be in trouble this time.
It's too dangerous, as long as you get to the lower position as you wish, the situation will change within five years!"
Concubine Chen hurriedly helped Xu Xuan up and said, "My father-in-law is so kind that we, mother and son, will never forget it."
"Your Majesty's words are serious!" Xu Xuan stood up and said: "It's just that the Xiao family has to be on guard. This time King Qin's pledge of earth and jade seems to have deep meaning."
"Yes, mother, I also think Jiang Zhucai is the biggest hidden danger!" Jiang Feng said the person he was most afraid of.
Chen Li, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, although I said I was mainly watching the martial arts competition of the two dogs this time, I actually came here to bring a few words for my father." Seeing Xu Xuan, he seemed to be worried.
When he was about to resign, Chen Li hurriedly said: "Master Xu, it's okay to listen. My father said: The prince and the emperor can hold the government for thirty years without falling, even if there is a rift. No one can be his opponent except the current emperor.
Even if the Chen and Xiao families join forces, they will still be defeated, so as long as the prince reigns, he must not be an enemy of the Xiao family. My father also asked, do you know that the prince never makes mistakes, but why do you allow your only son to be domineering in the capital? "
Concubine Chen and King Qi looked at each other, and King Qi said: "It's a little strange. I didn't think about it carefully before. I just thought that the prince had a son in middle age, and he was too doting."
Chen Li said: "Father said: This is the great thing about the prince. I think back then, when he was less than ten years old, he followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. After the world was settled, he was as arrogant and domineering in the capital as Jiang Di is now. But
Taizu did not discipline him very much. When those heroes were eliminated, the capital was in chaos. However, your majesty has shown enough wisdom and ability. On the one hand, he has selected many capable people and strangers from among his friends and recommended them to the imperial court.
On the other hand, he suppressed the rebel forces with iron blood and quelled the chaos in the capital. The reason why Emperor Taizu chose the frail and sick Taizong to ascend the throne was because he actually chose his grandson, who is the current emperor! Therefore, the prince will not fall.
, Could it be that His Majesty wants to see more of his little grandson!"
Concubine Chen's father, Chen Long, was similar in age to Jiang Cong. He was the last prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his temperament for the emperor was extraordinary.
Concubine Chen said: "Father is right, my sister knows what to do." She turned to her son and said: "You are afraid of Jiang Zhu, presumably because he is a martial arts genius, right? But Jiang Di is not weak either.
What's more, when it comes to martial arts talent, who can compare with the prince? You still have to learn how to look at people with your teacher!"
Xu Xuan said: "I know the prince's martial arts. Even if there are two or three of them, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent!"
Concubine Chen's brows began to wrinkle again, with a look of pity for me, and she said: "Yes, he was once one of the six demons. This is also the really scary thing. No one here is his opponent."
"I can count the number of people who can deal with him, including the emperor, King Cheng, Yunmen elder Jiang Xian, Quanzhen leader Yuanbao Zhenren, and Jinling Li Jichen." Xu Xuan said.
King Qi analyzed: "We have tried to find a solution for King Cheng, but he seems to be no longer willing to interfere in political affairs. Besides, we cannot afford to give him the power he once obtained; Jiang Xian is only loyal to the emperor, and besides, Jiang Di
There is no way to win over the master, so it's good luck if the two don't side with each other; Master Yuanbao is the last person who wants to deal with the court. Although he is an old friend of the prince, he probably won't side with anyone; and Li Jichen is the prince's man, so he can't do it this time
