As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 207 Nengchen
The prince's eyes flashed: "Not bad."

The King of Liang was domineering and almost a local emperor in the Sixteen States of Youyun. Over the years, taxes were withheld and failed to be paid, and he continued to ask the court for food and money to support his troops.

If this continues to be tolerated, and other vassal kings follow suit, how can the court be able to withstand it?

The prince has also discussed this matter with the three ministers of the East Palace recently, but there is no conclusion yet.

Now that he is sick, it is the best time.

"I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask for orders." The prince said, "Let your third uncle stay in the capital to recuperate."

Yun Qi smiled and said, "Father is wise."

The prince smiled.

He knew that if Yun Qi hadn't caused King Liang to suddenly become ill, he would have had to spend more time and effort here.

I have to say that this son is so pleasing to the eye now.

The prince asked Yun Qi to sit down and asked: "Then, if your uncle, the Third Emperor, stays in the capital to raise troops, who should be stationed in the Sixteenth Province of Youyun more safely?"

"Da Qin has a vast territory, but there are many foreign races around it, and many of them are eyeing them. Especially the Jin Kingdom cavalry outside the Sixteenth State of Youyun cannot be underestimated. We must send people who can suppress them."

Yun Qi said slowly: "Now the generals in the court are performing their respective duties. The King of Zhongshan is guarding the north of Hebei, and the other imperial uncles are also guarding the borders. The King of Kaiping is old, and it seems that only Duke Liang is still free."

The meaning of the prince's smile was unclear: "You brat."

Xie Wei was loyal to the court and had great prestige in the army. He was also very smart and smooth.

In the process of establishing the world, he was one of the best, not to mention the most meritorious, and he was qualified to be crowned king in the first place.

But when it came to dividing the titles among the heroes, Xie Wei restrained himself and avoided others.

He cleverly handed over the merits of the king with a different surname to his father-in-law, and handed over military power to the court, saying that he wanted to give his wife and children some wealth and stability.

In fact, he expresses his loyalty in a subtle way.

This also made Emperor Xuanwu like Xie Wei very much.

When the meritorious officials were first divided, they were only given the title of Yongchang Marquis, but the rest of them received the most rewards of wealth, silk and land, and he was promoted to Duke of Liang in just a few years.

He also entrusted Xie Wei's eldest son and second son with important responsibilities.

At that time, Emperor Xuanwu might not have been unaware of Yun Qi's thoughts about Xie Zhaozhao.

However, Xie Zhaozhao and Chu Nanxuan were in love, and Emperor Xuanwu valued Xie Wei, so the marriage granted by the Xie and Chu families was actually a great favor from the emperor.

Xie Wei is a capable minister and knows how to advance and retreat. If he goes to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, he is indeed the best candidate.

And in this way, Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi's affairs will be easier.

The prince sighed softly, "Very good. Let's discuss it with your grandpa tomorrow. By the way, how are things going with the Chen family?"

If Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao are together, the Chen family will definitely be dissatisfied.

The Chen family is dissatisfied and the border may not be stable. This is not a trivial matter.

"Marquis Pingzhang may not be of the same mind as the Prince of Zhongshan." Yun Qi hit the nail on the head, "Father should have noticed."

"That's right." The prince nodded, "The competition for the title in Zhongshan Palace has become more and more intense."

……

Duke's Mansion of Liang Kingdom
Xie Changyuan didn't go out to look for flowers and willows these days. He spent more time at home every day. He was really bored, so he came to chat with Xie Zhaozhao.

As they talked, the two talked about the day they heard that Chen Shulan was imprisoned by her father for three days without food or water.

"Marquis Pingzhang is truly ruthless." Xie Changyuan waved his fan lazily, "My biological daughter is so unmerciful, tsk tsk."

"There is only one title for King Zhongshan, and both Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Zhiji want it." Xie Zhaozhao said lightly: "Chen Zhiyuan is not liked by King Zhongshan. If he wants to win the title, he can only rely on external help."

"Originally, he could have relied on the relationship between Chen Shulan and Yun Qi to get great help and convenience, but Yun Qi's situation has been delayed for five years."

"The situation in northern Hebei is tense, and Chen Zhiyuan is at a disadvantage. He has no choice but to seek other foreign aid." "Tsk, tsk, tsk!" It’s so clear-cut, why didn’t I know my little sister was so transparent before?”

"Tell me, how did you become so smart?"

Xie Changyuan waved his hands over, trying to grab Xie Zhaozhao's head and rub it.

Xie Zhaozhao quickly took half a step back to avoid it, and said warily: "Just say what you say, don't move your hands and feet casually!"

"Okay, okay!" Xie Changyuan laughed loudly, went back, and leaned lazily on Xie Zhaozhao's beauty couch, "Well, where did I just say, Marquis Pingzhang seeks other foreign aid?"

"So the foreign player you chose is King Liang?"

"nature."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and said: "With the status of the Zhongshan Prince's Palace, except for someone like Prince Liang who has real power and military power and wants to challenge the prince, who can help Chen Zhiyuan?"

"That's true." Xie Changyuan also nodded, "But when I see Chen Zhiyuan dealing with Chen Shulan so harshly, it seems that it is not because of Prince Liang, but because you, sister, made Princess Yuanyi the princess."

"He wants to use Prince Liang to help him win the title, but he doesn't really want to let Yun Qi go."

Xie Changyuan sighed and shook his head: "Both Prince Liang and Yun Qi are not fools if they want to have both sides. If the boat capsizes, Marquis Pingzhang will have a big meal."

"Especially from Prince Liang..."

Xie Changyuan couldn't help but clicked his tongue again, "Prince Liang is half a lunatic. Anyone who is provoked will definitely die without a complete body."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "Not bad."

The brother and sister chatted for a while.

Xie Zhaozhao asked about Su Xiangyang.

"Why do you suddenly ask him?" Xie Changyuan glanced at Xie Zhaozhao, "He goes in and out of the Hanlin Academy and then goes home every day. It's very boring. I don't know what the third sister likes in him."

"I don't know either." Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes for a moment and said, "I have to go out in the afternoon."

"Where are you going?"

Xie Changyuan said: "I will accompany you out."

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head: "You stay at home by yourself, I want to go out by myself."

"I'm bored. I can't stay at home by myself." Xie Changyuan shouted, "I'll drive for you!"

"No."

Xie Zhaozhao stood up and left, "If you're bored, just drive around at home."

Xie Changyuan shouted "I don't know a good person's heart" but didn't say anything else.

Xie Zhaozhao spent a quiet afternoon in Mr. Miao's yard, and when the sun set, he took Hong Xiu and Xianggui Xiangrong to the Su Mansion.

At this time, even if Su Xiangyang didn't go home, it was almost time.

So she chose now.

The carriage stopped in front of the Su Mansion. When the servant went to report, Xie Jiajia was stunned for a moment, "Then why don't you invite in?"

"Young man, let's go."

The servant ran back quickly and invited Xie Zhaozhao into the courtyard.

The two sisters looked at each other.

Xie Zhaozhao was calm and indifferent, but Xie Jiajia's eyes showed a somewhat complicated color.

Xie Jiajia sent her mother and maid away, and stayed silent for a long time. Then Xie Jiajia turned to Xie Zhaozhao and said, "I'm sorry."
