Four hundred and twentieth chapters face to face and peace
"To talk too much and worry too much will lead to no response; to say nothing and worry too much will make no sense."
Liu Jiang was not afraid at all and looked at the emperor face to face.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn and scary. Even Mu Shun, who was the only one left standing, couldn't help but shrink his neck and squeezed his body into the corner as much as possible, for fear of being hurt by the fish in the pond.
After a while, the emperor was the first to look away and smiled uncomfortably: "How did you speak up for Zhou Gongjin today?" After saying that, the emperor waved his hand to the frightened Mu Shun.
If he was granted amnesty, he quickly slipped out and stood at the door panting, consciously fulfilling his duty of guarding the door. The emperor looked at Liu Jiang again at this moment, trying to cover up his inner thoughts with a joke: "Don't you always disapprove?
Did I choose this 'good match' for you and fall in love with someone else? It seems that we are husband and wife after all, and now he is questioning me about him."
Liu Jiang's expression changed, he frowned and said, "It's hard to understand what Your Majesty said."
The emperor shook his head and said softly: "Zhou Gongjin is a rare talent. Sister Huang must have realized it deeply these days. I can see from what you did today that you have given up."
Liu Jiang was angry that the emperor's story was being mentioned again, which made people sad. However, he had to make a gesture, turned his head away, lowered his eyebrows, and said in a choked voice: "It is useless to talk about it now."
Everything is simply one's own wishful thinking, so it's better to truly end things and let go of the past. But this parting is not in vain even for a woman with a self-reliant personality like Liu Jiang.
"Okay, okay." The emperor kept saying. Seeing Liu Jiang starting to feel sad again, he suddenly softened his heart. He reached out and patted Liu Jiang on the shoulder and said, "I shouldn't test you this time, but you can
Having this reaction also makes me feel more relieved. Zhou Gongjin is a rare person for his country and himself. I have put a lot of thought into him, and the emperor must not let him down."
Liu Jiang raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, carefully hiding a strange look.
The emperor was also touched, turned around, and sighed softly, his expression dark and unclear.
Liu Jiang's sad expression disappeared immediately after riding in the carriage. She would not believe the emperor's words. The emperor was so deep and scheming, how could he want to know the relationship between her sister and her brother-in-law?
Intimate or not, he went to great lengths to beat Zhou Yu to test it? Whether it was because he was really touched by his true feelings or because he was deliberately trying to tease her, he had unintentionally confirmed his suspicions for Liu Jiang.
It wasn't that the emperor didn't believe Zhou Yu, but after seeing that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were brothers and had a deep relationship, he wanted to cause a rift in the relationship between the two of them. They could no longer plan for each other and be as close as before. But
What Liu Jiang didn't understand was that Sun Ce was just a traitor and was destined to be defeated in the future. Why did the emperor go to war so aggressively?
Unless the emperor knew that Sun Ce would not continue to rebel, or that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had never "acted according to their own plans".
The car passed by a certain protruding stone brick, which suddenly shook Liu Jiang, who was still in a trance.
She seems to have come into contact with a secret, which is related to the situation in the entire Kanto region and even the power structure of the imperial court in the future. It is even related to her!
The emperor suddenly changed the topic just now, maybe because he didn't want to tell the truth, or maybe he just stopped talking, and Liu Jiang just followed the slope and acted cooperatively to avoid further causing a deadlock. She only needed to continue to act according to the emperor's ideas.
Alienating the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce allowed Zhou Yu to focus on the emperor and himself at the same time...
Liu Jiang boldly speculated on the emperor's thoughts. Although no one knew what the emperor was thinking, it did not prevent those who knew him best from using their best intentions to speculate. She couldn't help but get distracted again, completely unaware that the car had stopped.
, several voices came from the palace passage outside.
"Your Highness, Mr. Fu Gui knew that Your Highness had entered the palace and sent a special girl to wait in the palace corridor. He said that he had not seen him for a long time and wanted to invite His Highness to talk."
"Fu family?" Liu Jiang was slightly surprised, thinking that he hadn't seen her for a long time and it was rare to go to the palace, so he might as well take this opportunity to see her.
So Liu Jiang walked into Yeting as the ten thousand year old princess. As soon as she arrived in front of the palace gate, she saw the noble Fu Shou waiting at the foot of the stairs with a group of palace people. Liu Jiang smiled and stretched out his hand to catch the person in front of him.
The person he favored the most deliberately looked left and right, and said, "I see that your complexion has improved a lot. I think you feel happy both physically and mentally. Why does your Majesty come to see you so often?"
Fu Shou's cheeks turned red and he said timidly: "Your Highness, please don't say that."
Zhao Cainu on the side intervened and said: "Your Majesty and the Queen are deeply in love. They often stay in the Jiao Fang or prepare for state affairs, so they have no time to take care of Ye Ting. Your Majesty learned that the eldest princess is coming today, that's why you are so happy."
Hearing this, Liu Jiang raised his eyes to look at Zhao Cainv who was speaking. Without replying, he moved his gaze away naturally and looked at the other Cainv and the palace people one by one. However, when he saw the Zou family and the Feng family, they were
The beauty she personally selected was still on one side, with a beautiful appearance, and Liu Jiang couldn't help but have questions.
It was not a place to talk in front of the palace door, so Liu Jiang kept it quiet and entered the palace with Fu Shou. When they saw each other after farewell, Fu Shou looked much more lively. She held a fan in her hand and half-covered her smile and said:
"Your Highness has softened his temper since he got a good son-in-law."
Liu Jiang only smiled, and after the two of them sat on the couch, he calmed down and said, "The palace restrictions are getting tighter and tighter, and even in the Ye Ting, I am not allowed to pry easily. Tell me, how is His Majesty treating you?"
Fu Shou was so embarrassed that he wanted to stand up, but felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly sat down, his face as red as a pomegranate: "What's going on...I don't know." This kind of worry is in the daughter's family, how can we talk about it casually?
Yukou? After asking Liu Jiang rashly, he felt something was wrong and stopped talking. He could just glean something from the other person's expression.
Liu Jiang sighed quietly and thought to himself that since the emperor secretly promised, why has there been no news in the past few years? He had specifically chosen two beauties to serve Fu Shou, thinking that Fu Shou might one day be able to
By relying on these two people to attract the emperor's attention, no matter what the outcome is, it will be beneficial to Fu Shou. However, the emperor was indifferent and paid it back, but Fu Shou himself was not in a hurry at all, which made Liu Jiang hate that iron cannot become steel.
, said earnestly: "You are just too soft-tempered, Mrs. Zou, Mrs. Feng, I specially invited you to be your pet, and if you don't use it well, when will you go?"
Seeing that Fu Shou was silent, Liu Jiang had a cold face, as if he had gone back to the time when he was managing Ye Ting for the emperor and teaching everyone: "If nothing unexpected happens, your Majesty will personally conquer Guandong next year. This battle will be different from the previous expedition to Hedong.
, that time it was only a few hundred miles away, the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, and we would return in ten months. Once the army enters Guandong, it will not be able to return to Chang'an for two or three years. During these two or three years, An knows that nothing else will happen!"
Fu Shou's expression changed, and he looked at Liu Jiang in horror, like a bird that had only received a threat.
Liu Jiang later realized that his words were too inappropriate, so he had to change his mind and said: "The world is in chaos and the Han Dynasty is weak. If it is not necessary to restore the power of the monarch, how can your majesty be able to take risks?" As he said this, his face turned gloomy.
Come down.
Fu Shou has a delicate mind. When he heard this, he suddenly understood what Liu Jiang meant. He suddenly felt cramped and muttered not knowing what to say.
Liu Jiang knew the other party's hesitation, and also knew that once the matter in Guandong was over, it would not be long before the situation in the imperial court would be in great turmoil. Dong Chengzhi was short-sighted and did not know how to advance or retreat. How could he be alone? At this time, the emperor should not have worries in his heart, and
