After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

King Wei looked at Jiang Rong in front of him and did not seem proud of his own praise.Instead, he became more cautious about what he said. He felt that it was time to hand over the letter given to him by the Prime Minister to Marquis Dingyuan.

He also looked at the Marquis Dingyuan in front of him cautiously and said:

"Master Marquis, this is a letter that Prime Minister Hu asked me to hand over to you when I came here. Please read it."

Jiang Rong glanced at King Wei and took the letter in his hand.King Wei was on the side, watching carefully as he slowly opened the letter.

Jiang Rong read the letter from beginning to end with a solemn expression.After reading it, he did not look up at King Wei until he folded the letter and put it on his body, then he looked up at King Wei and said:

"His Royal Highness, King Wei, when you go back, please convey to the Prime Minister, thank him for his appreciation of this commander. I will do my best to guard the north gate of our Xuanwu Dynasty. As for the disputes between the court and the court, it is not for me, a marshal on the edge of the town, to be involved. Matters. I, Jiang Rong, have been worthy of heaven and earth in my life, and it is enough for me to do this. As for the matter of King Wei and the prince, that is a matter for the emperor to decide, and I am not the only one to keep it. Things that the generals at the border should take care of. There is also the matter that the Prime Minister mentioned in the letter, the marriage between His Highness and my granddaughter Yingxue. I think it is because Yingxue was of low origin, and her biological mother was just a concubine in the mansion. With her concubine A woman's status is simply not worthy of His Highness's noble status. And His Highness, King Wei, has a bright future, so he should be matched by a woman of noble status."

When King Wei saw Jiang Rong rejecting Jiang Rong's request to marry his granddaughter, he immediately said to him angrily:

"Master Hou, Miss Yingxue comes from a noble family. Although she is born from a side wife, she is still considered a noble daughter of a noble family. How come she is so low-ranking? Does it mean that Master Hou is so evasive? Doesn't he think highly of me, the King of Wei? Then If it were to be the prince, I think the Marquis would not shirk it."

Jiang Rong looked at the angry King Wei in front of him, and felt even more determined that the decision he made was the right one. He calmly said to King Wei:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a princess for a long time. I have no such idea at all. I also ask His Highness the King of Wei not to talk nonsense."

At this time, King Wei was a little angry. He stood up, came to Jiang Rong and said to him:

"Marquis Dingyuan, if I become the prince or the emperor in the future, will you still refuse to marry your granddaughter to me?"

Jiang Rong also stood up and saluted King Wei:

"King Wei cannot say such treacherous words. If others hear it and spread it to the emperor's ears, is it okay?"

The anger on King Wei's face became even stronger. He almost stretched his face in front of Jiang Rong and said to Dingyuan Marquis:

"Don't scare me with these words. The prince is not worthy of sitting in that position. The throne will belong to me sooner or later. Marquis Dingyuan should keep your eyes open and stand in line as soon as possible. Li Chenglong has surrendered to the enemy and the prince's only backer has already No more. So far, I have not touched him. Let him sit in that position for two more days. That is a gift to him. As long as the Marquis agrees to stand on the side of me and Prime Minister Hu, the position of the prince can be taken at any time. Deposed him. When the time comes, I will ascend the throne of the emperor and let your daughter of the Jiang family be my queen. I will give your two grandsons high officials and generous salaries, so that your Jiang family will enjoy glory and wealth forever, and inherit the title forever. What does the old Marquis think?"

Marquis Dingyuan looked at King Wei who was trying his best to persuade him, with a look of impatient expression on his face.He knew that now was not the time to offend them, so he said to King Wei in a roundabout way:

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei must also know that I, Jiang Rong, only care about matters within the scope of my responsibilities. It is my responsibility to guard the border from foreign invasion. Regardless of whether the crown prince or the King of Wei succeeds in the future, as long as it is approved by the Emperor, I All support it.”

Seeing Jiang Rong's resolute attitude, King Wei had no room for maneuver and knew that if he continued talking, he would not get the result he wanted.He left here angrily.

After King Wei left, Jiang Rong sent someone to call his sons Jiang Xiaotian and Jiang Chen. He handed the letter from Prime Minister Hu Gao to Jiang Xiaotian.After reading it, Jiang Xiaotian said to his father:

"Prime Minister Hu Gao's intention is very clear. He sent King Wei here this time just to disturb us. How did father respond to King Wei."

Jiang Chen also wanted to know his grandfather's attitude very much, so he said to him:

"Yes, Grandpa, I also want to know how you responded to King Wei."

Jiang Rong looked at them and said:

"I made it very clear and told King Wei my thoughts. It is my duty to protect my family and the country. I don't want to get involved in the battles in the court, let alone rely on nepotism to rely on others. I can be the Marquis of Dingyuan. , being able to be a military marshal is earned by fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, throwing my life and blood in an upright and upright manner. I will not cling to powerful people, let alone collude with others. I will only be myself upright in this life, and will never He will have no integrity in character."

Jiang Chen's heart trembled after hearing his grandfather's words.I couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Grandpa.

After listening to his father's words, Jiang Xiaotian said to him:

"Father, you rejected the King of Wei without any reservation. Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so? Hu Gao is a ruthless person. Have you forgotten how he ruined the Li family? He is now excluding dissidents in the court, and for the sake of What they want is to pull the prince out of the country and help the king of Wei ascend to the throne. Have you ever thought about it, once their plan succeeds, their next target will be our Jiang family. He will not let a marshal who does not obey their orders control a large number of troops outside. . Once he takes action on us, the Li family’s today will be our tomorrow.”

Jiang Rong ignored his son's words. He saw Jiang Chen who was silent at the side and said:

"Jiang Chen, what your father said just now, do you have anything to add?"

Jiang Chen walked towards his grandfather and said:

"Grandpa, my father's worries are not unreasonable. If Hu Gao knew that grandpa was unwilling to be attached to him, he would definitely find a way to deal with us. Now that you have military power, he is still afraid. Wait until he finds an excuse to remove you. When he takes over your military power, that's when he will deal with us. By then, I'm afraid our results may not be better than those of the Li family."

Jiang Rong took a step forward and said to Jiang Chen:

"In that case, do you have any solutions to both problems? I'd really like to hear your suggestions."

Jiang Xiaotian quickly said to his father:

"Father, Jiang Chen is just starting out. How can a child like him have any extraordinary insights? We should take this as a big deal and study it carefully to see where we should go in the future. If they really take action by then, we will be really helpless. ”

Jiang Chen opened his mouth and said to his grandfather:

"Hu Gao is a despicable and shameless villain. How could he easily let go of a man like you who has a lot of troops? He killed my grandfather just to cut off the prince's right and left arm. He is as cruel as the devil. Don't talk about me. Grandpa is not guilty. Even if his crime was extremely heinous, he would not have killed his wife and the entire family. Judging from how ruthless he was in driving the Li family to death, he was not a man with a big heart to serve. So now that he can't even protect himself wisely, Then we have no choice but to stand on his opposite side and resolutely support the crown prince’s ascension to the throne.”
