Although Jiang Lang came from the Donglin family and was well-read in poetry and books, he was very interested in military affairs and was a talented general with both literary and military skills.
At that time, Tianqi's country was worried about foreign troubles. The late emperor wanted to defend the country from outside and was in urgent need of pillars, so he vigorously promoted generals.
Since the eldest princess’ biological mother was of humble origin, she applied for a marriage decree and married Jiang Lang at that time.
It soon proved that the eldest princess had good eyesight. Not only did Jiang Lang have a pure and upright family background, but he even performed extraordinary feats many times and became the general of the escort flag.
At that time, the eldest princess had given birth to four children, and the emperor had married a wife and had children. They were living in the prince's mansion and had long since moved out of the palace.
The two of them planned and lay dormant together until the battle between the nine sons came to an end.
The late emperor was greatly disappointed, and then he noticed this prince who had never been outstanding.
His Majesty also showed his talents appropriately at this time, and even maintained the character of a filial son. His actions naturally won the favor of the elderly late emperor.
So soon, the prince became the prince, and not long after the late emperor passed away, he successfully registered.
Liu Guanghe said: "So, the eldest princess has helped your majesty a lot?"
"Not only that, but later..."
Later, when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, there were internal and external troubles.
The old power groups were not convinced by a new emperor whose mother's family was not strong and whose foothold was not yet firmly established.
The emperor made many drastic changes, promoting people from non-aristocratic families to serve as officials in the court and reducing the number of children from aristocratic families who were selected through grace.
Although this move brought the emperor his own power and won praise from the world, it ultimately affected the interests of the aristocratic family and the emperor's position was not secure.
If you want the imperial power to be stable, what is the most important thing? Military power.
At this point, the eldest princess has paid a lot.
Jiang Lang won the emperor's trust back then and indeed made great contributions.
Then she rose all the way to the title of Duke of Zhen, but the hereditary first-class Duke, the eldest princess, was also named the "eldest princess".
Soon afterwards, the imperial court encountered a major crisis. The reduction of vassal vassals caused chaos among the vassal kings and instability in the west.
After Jiang Lang conquered the west, he hurried back to the court and defeated the vassal kings headed by the King of Central Plains.
With great military exploits, he was regarded as the God of War by the people. Unfortunately, due to overwork and the recurrence of old injuries, he died on the way back to the court.
He died to consolidate His Majesty's imperial power.
After that, the Jiang family became the Emperor's confidants and won His Majesty's trust.
Even if the Jiang family was walking around the capital, people on the sidelines would not dare to say anything.
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, there was still a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
He had already passed his thirties before he became Zuocheng. And the official of the same rank beside him was Jiang Qi, a young and promising member of the Jiang family.
The four sons of the Jiang family served as officials in the court and enjoyed unparalleled glory.
And he was just a handy tool for the emperor, but he was far from a confidant.
Zuo Cheng, who has known this for many years, still couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So, the Jiang family... is a height that dad will never be able to climb in his lifetime..."
Liu Ruyun comforted her father, "Dad, you can't do it, but my daughter can!"
"you?"
Liu Ruyun was very confident, "The eldest princess was able to choose the right husband back then. With her daughter's talent and beauty, why not? I think Jiang Pei of the Jiang family is very good..."
The main thing is that there is really no one in the Jiang family who looks crooked.
All of them are stunning, but their styles are different.
Jiang Pei is already very good-looking now, and he will definitely not be worse than his uncles in the future!
"So, you have to understand dad's good intentions..."
Liu Ruyun smiled shyly, "Dad, just believe me."
The other side.
Fu Bao, who had eaten and drank enough, was really sleepy.
The banquet was coming to an end, and the emperor and empress were not there. The father-in-law Xie finished his song, and all the ministers walked out with their families.
The four unmarried sons of the Jiang family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xi has been using "Ah" to show his slowness and persuade everyone to retreat.
Jiang Shou was even worse. He never said a word, was mysterious and aloof, and kept strangers away.
Jiang Yuan...Jiang Yuan has been playing with insects since he sat down. He didn't know where he got a plate of fried cicada pupae and started eating it in front of everyone.
The little girl and the big girl were so frightened that their expressions were more exciting than the other.
Jiang Li is the most popular. He is known as the "Dream Lover" of all the girls in the capital. He is handsome and has a sweet mouth, but! - He can coax everyone!
I put away a fragrant handkerchief here, a sachet there, and even pinned a flower to my ear!
So cool as hell.
It’s useless to like a little girl! The mistress of the house will definitely look down on her!
Mrs. Jiang glanced at her younger son with disgust and said, "Go away, go away. It hurts your eyes. It will give you nightmares at night."
Jiang Li chuckled and didn't care at all. He took off the flowers from his ears and pinned them on Fu Bao's ears. The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go home!"
…
The banquet has ended, but the palace is not quiet.
The doctor looked at the condition of the Crown Prince of Southwest and was amazed, "This..."
The emperor frowned, "If you have anything to say, just say it, but this child cannot die."
At least now, I can't die.
The emperor's words did not make Prince Southwest open his eyes. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He was injured anyway, and since the emperor didn't want him to die, he would not embarrass him at this time no matter what.
The old doctor thought thoughtfully, "According to what the Queen said, the prince was saved by the children of the Jiang family, and he took the pills given by the children of the Jiang family... Wei Chen checked the prince's condition and found that his pulse has stabilized and all internal injuries have healed.
, only this superficial wound is left, I’m afraid it will take some time to recover.”
"oh?"
The emperor also wondered: "The pill is so useful?"
"Weichen is also amazed. It's a pity that the pills are gone. Otherwise, Weichen would really like to ask for advice and see what kind of expert can make such an exquisite pill." The old doctor's eyes were filled with longing.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Queen, do you think Fu Bao gave him this pill?"
The queen nodded, her eyes shining brightly, "Exactly. Otherwise, Fubao is a lucky star. She not only allowed the prince to breathe in time, but also gave him pills."
"How can a little baby have such abilities?"
The Queen smiled and said, "Hey, Fubao said it was the pill given by his fifth uncle. Your Majesty, Jiang Xi, the child, also knows that he has a reserved and quiet temperament, and his favorite thing is to study medical herbs."
The emperor thought deeply, "This kid is so quiet. Could it be that he has really become a miraculous doctor in these years?"
As expected, there is no such thing as a son of the Jiang family...
"Your Majesty," the queen saw this and carefully put on the emperor's coat, "I am thinking that if the fifth son of the Jiang family is really capable, it would be better to ask him to come into the palace to see the emperor..."
The emperor looked sideways at her. Although the gentle queen's face had the traces of time, when her eyes moved slightly, she was still as beautiful as ever.
Over the years, she had been looking for famous doctors for the eldest prince, and she had become ill due to overwork, and the emperor noticed it.
He nodded: "Okay, Fubao will also be brought into the palace to play, and let several princes play with Fubao."
The queen was slightly stunned and quickly said: "I understand, I understand."
She was very happy that Fu Bao could enter the palace, but why did she want the prince to play with Fu Bao? What did the emperor mean?
She thought to herself.
Prince Xinan, who was lying on the bed, secretly clenched his fists.
