After rebirth, I made the princes cry

When Sikong Yuehu made it clear that he had something to discuss with Yingshu, Dianjun and Liang Hui stayed in the pavilion to play chess.

The flower garden of Baoguang Palace is not very big, but in addition to the pavilion, a group of corridors and pavilions were built, with desks placed along the water. Looking out from the corridors and pavilions, the pavilion has become a scene, and the couple in the pavilion have also become a landscape.

"Liang Hui is interested in Dian Jun. Deputy Envoy Zuo wouldn't have noticed it, right?"

Yingshu said nothing.

She didn't know why Sikong Yuehu was specifically asking about this romantic affair. Didn't she look like a boring person who liked to gossip about her best friend's privacy?

Then I heard that person say, "Before I left Beijing, I heard something. Madam He has already told my father that the second prince is attracted to you and wants you to be his wife."

Ying Shu was suspicious. Although she knew the intentions of Madam He and Madam Zheng, both of them wanted to marry the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, whose status was higher than that of the Crown Princess, for their sons, why did Madam He take action at this critical moment? She couldn't figure out whether Madam He had an abnormal mind, and she didn't know how tolerant Sikong Yuehu could be.

He asked, "Your Majesty is still in Northern Han, and His Majesty is still most concerned about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Madam He must know that His Majesty will never agree to her request at this time, right?"

"Mrs. He doesn't care whether the Lord can return safely. In her opinion, the emperor values ​​Lord Shenyuan very much. If my second brother can marry Lord Shenyuan as his princess, his weight in the emperor's mind will be greatly increased. This is the greatest value of Lord Shenyuan. And this time, Lord Shenyuan is on a diplomatic mission to Northern Han. If he can really promote diplomatic relations between the two countries, he will undoubtedly be more valued by the emperor after returning to the court. She brought it up at this time, which gives her an advantage over Mrs. Zheng. If Lord Shenyuan cannot return safely and the two countries fail to establish diplomatic relations, the marriage will naturally fail, which will not be a loss for my second brother."

Yingshu nodded subconsciously.

"Although Madam He has already taken some action, Your Highness should understand that His Majesty will not agree. His Majesty has no intention of abolishing the crown prince at this time, so he will not indulge the rift between the crown prince and the Bi Su brothers. Moreover, the marriage of the prince is not like that of an ordinary woman, and His Majesty should respect the prince's own wishes."

The situation now is different from what it was a year ago.

A year ago, when Dianjun had just escaped from Beizhao and was welcomed back to Dayu, Dianjun proposed to be the crown prince's consort in order to restore the glory of Emperor Shenzong's imperial family. However, the crown prince was the emperor's preferred crown prince. The crown prince's "shortcoming" was that he had no maternal family to rely on, and lacked the help to contend with the He Party and the Zheng Party. Dianjun Shenyuan could not make up for the crown prince's "shortcomings", and the "ambition" revealed by Dianjun Shenyuan would make His Majesty more or less suspicious. Therefore, His Majesty would not really respect Dianjun's wishes regarding Dianjun's marriage.

Later, Dianjun took the initiative to give up the position of Crown Princess and no longer had the obsession of marrying into the Sikong royal family. She was willing to cooperate with His Majesty's plan to instigate a fight between the He and Zheng parties. His Majesty has changed his mind about Dianjun and dispelled his suspicion. Dianjun Shenyuan will definitely get married and have children if she does not marry Bi Yuewu. Even if the third prince asks for her hand in marriage, as long as Dianjun has this intention, His Majesty will not deny it.

Not to mention, this time the Lord knew that he would be in danger during the diplomatic mission to Northern Han, and in order to successfully implement the plan of surprise attack on Hanzhong, he completely disregarded his own safety. It can be said that the Lord's decision truly made the Shenzong imperial family no longer have a nominal honor, and they are truly worthy of the respect of the monarch, ministers and people of Dayu.

"My father once discussed with me that if you are willing, after you return to the court, my father will build a mansion for you outside the palace. You can still live in the Shenyuan Palace or in a private mansion outside the palace. Your future husband will have a higher rank than a concubine and can participate in government affairs."

The son-in-law of Dayu can still engage in politics. As for the level of his official position, it depends on his own ability. However, Your Majesty has granted the prince the privilege of directly participating in politics in the future, which is actually a disguised way of allowing the prince to participate in politics.

But if the princess marries a certain prince...it is hard to say whether she can participate in politics. It depends on whether the prince truly loves her.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"If you and Liang Hui can get married, it will be of great benefit to your wish."

"Your Highness, don't you care about the Palace Master's pre-rule?"

"Why should I care?" Sikong Yuehu smiled. "Although women from aristocratic families did not have the opportunity to serve as officials in the past, they were not necessarily ignorant of military and political affairs because of the environment they were in. For example, Penglai Jun, although he is no longer a female historian in front of the emperor, Yang Xianpei will always listen to Penglai Jun's judgment and opinions on court affairs. This can also be called pre-political preparation.

For example, among the women who participated in politics, such as Madam He and Madam Zheng, they made no contribution to the emperor, the country, and even added obstacles. This was due to their knowledge and ability. Among the ministers in the court, there were also foolish and weak people like He Ao and Zhang Jiutong. This shows that no matter whether it is a man or a woman, there are differences in wisdom, stupidity, kindness and violence. Whether one is virtuous or not has nothing to do with gender.

Although the Lord has not had many opportunities to be involved in military and political affairs, he has never been arrogant. He knows that he has some shortcomings, so he will humbly ask the Left Deputy Envoy for advice. He is kind-hearted and has a character that values ​​the overall situation over personal gain. After establishing the government, if he can recruit talented people and follow their advice, he will certainly benefit the country and the people. Liang Hui is also very talented, and more importantly, he has a good character. He will never let the Lord down in the future. The Left Deputy Envoy has always regarded the Lord as a confidant, and he should also hope that the Lord can marry a good man. "

Yingshu understood that Sikong Yuehu wanted her to facilitate the marriage between Dianjun and Liang Hui.

In her opinion, Liang Hui was indeed a good candidate. Shangcai Hou Liang Qin was very good at judging the situation. Although he could not be said to be completely free of selfish desires, he still retained the integrity of his family. Liang Hui was carefully cultivated by Liang Qin, and he never had the idea of ​​competing with his brother for clan power, so he had even fewer selfish desires. Even if she got married, she would not live with her husband's family when she set up her own residence. She enjoyed greater privileges than royal princesses, but such privileges would not exist if she married a prince.

How can one be more free to rely on the husband's family than to rely on oneself?

Since I am the head of the family, there won't be so many complicated personnel issues, and I won't be tired of fighting with others. And from what I have seen along the way, Liang Hui's character is indeed trustworthy. At least he has true feelings for Dianjun and has no other intentions.

But the person that the Palace Lord loves is...

Yingshu glanced at Sikong Yuehu.

"Marriage is a major event in life, and I will not interfere with your decision," she said.

Sikong Yuehu didn't seem surprised by Yingshu's response, and didn't insist: "Yes, if both parties are willing, it will come naturally, and there is no need for matchmaking from others. However, Liang Hui has been through thick and thin with me, and I can see his intentions. I hope he can get what he wants."

The topic ended there, and Sikong Yuehu said, "Regarding the confrontation with Jiang Gaofan, what does Deputy Envoy Zuo think?"

He asked in general terms, but he expected Yingshu to know the specific purpose of the question, just like when he learned that the Psychic Tower was on fire, he trusted Yingshu very much to be able to solve it and thwart Jiang Tai's scheme. He never thought of intervening and just watched.

"Your Highness should have a plan. I will follow your orders."

"After all, it is Deputy Envoy Zuo who is personally fighting in the battlefield, so your strategy is more reliable."

"Just hit the nail on the head." Yingshu didn't "humble" anymore.

She seemed to see Sikong Yuehu's eyes, which only moved slightly at the corners, but were actually quite familiar. A smile was rippling in the coldness.

Her eyelashes drooped and her mind turned elsewhere. In fact, when she came to Kunjiang just now, a question had been circling in her mind. She had an inexplicable intuition that if this question could be answered, perhaps she could figure out the real murderer who killed her in her previous life. This made her a little hesitant. Now was the critical moment for the success or failure of the raid on Hanzhong, and she didn't know whether she should face the answer directly.

"The Left Deputy Envoy must be confused as to why Jiang Mo told me the secret that Jiang Gaofan intended to help him seize the throne. Logically speaking, even if he doesn't trust the Crown Prince, he shouldn't even trust the Emperor. Jiang Mo could have directly told the Emperor and asked for help."

Yingshu felt annoyed. She hadn't made up her mind yet, but Sikong Yuehu brought up the topic.

"I asked Jiang Mo. It was Jiang Gaofan who instructed him to ask me for help. Jiang Gaofan's original words were that I was the only one who had the ability to help him escape from danger. This was a big deal, and I certainly couldn't hide it. But if I am willing to ask for help, my father will definitely agree."

"Your Highness really believes what Jiang Mo said?"

"I don't believe it. I think Jiang Gaofan deliberately lured me to Northern Han. But if Jiang Gaofan wanted to get rid of me as a hidden danger for Northern Han, it means that he thinks highly of me. I can't be so naive that I would really fall into his trap and travel thousands of miles to offer my head, right?"

Is there a possibility that in his previous life, Jiang Gaofan had already joined your Xinyuehu army, and after his rebirth, he knew that you would be the final winner, so this time, he intended to offer Hanzhong to you in order to gain your greater respect? !

Ying Shu's eyelashes fell motionless: "But Your Highness really fell into the trap, and sneaked into Northern Han. If something unfortunate happens... even Your Majesty can't openly seek justice for Your Highness."

"That's because I trust Deputy Envoy Zuo very much and he can protect my life." Sikong Yuehu raised the corner of his lips. "Deputy Envoy Zuo made plans and thwarted Jiang Tai's scheme. Jiang Gaofan should not look down on Deputy Envoy Zuo just because she is a weak woman. Deputy Envoy Zuo said that she got my letter from thousands of miles away and contacted him directly to ask him what plan he had to help Jiang Mo seize the throne. Jiang Gaofan would not have any doubts.

Jiang Tai's intentions are obvious. He will definitely not stop his plan to force the prince to stay in Han. Only when Jiang Mo wins the throne can the two countries hope to negotiate and establish diplomatic relations. The Left Deputy Envoy is the real core of the delegation. In Jiang Gaofan's view, I am now in charge of the Central Army. My father is worried about letting me, the prince, come to Northern Han again, so he asked the Left Deputy Envoy to discuss with him and decide how to proceed. This is also reasonable. "

"In that case, Your Highness doesn't even need to change your appearance."

Sikong Yuehu was stunned: "Is Deputy Envoy Zuo making fun of me for being too cautious? No way, of course it is necessary to disguise myself. After all, many people from the Northern Han Dynasty followed Jiang Mo to Dayu, and those who came back have all seen my true appearance."

Yingshu didn't notice any flaws in Sikong Yuehu's words.

"Your Highness said when he came to Kunjiang that there was some progress in finding out Jiang Gaofan's background?"

"He has put in some effort to understand the streets of Jiangzhou City."

Yingshu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"He told Duanzhi that he was once a subordinate of Wang Zhi, but was implicated by Wang Zhi and banished to be a government slave. Later, he fled. Wang Zhi started an uprising in Jiangzhou, but Jiang Gaofan was not even familiar with the streets of Jiangzhou City and had to secretly inquire about it." Sikong Yuehu shook his head: "This is very strange. Why would he lie? Why would he hide his true origins?"

"I also gained something. According to my inference, Jiang Gaofan's real hometown should be Jinyang." Yingshu did not hide some of the information she found out from Bai Min.

"Jinyang?" Sikong Yuehu was quite surprised. "Jinyang is now under the jurisdiction of Northern Jin. Jiang Gaofan can't be a spy planted by Northern Jin in Northern Han, right?"

If this is true, what kind of game is Northern Jin playing?

Sikong Yuehu simply didn't hide another secret he had learned: "Northern Jin has already planned to use military force against Northern Yan, and even has the idea of ​​annexing Northern Liao. For this reason, the King of Northern Jin has already sent his preferred crown prince to Northern Zhao as a hostage. Why would he want to stir up civil strife in Northern Han at this time? Northern Zhao may condone Northern Jin's annexation of Northern Yan and Northern Liao, but it will never allow Northern Jin to annex Northern Han as well. Moreover, Northern Jin is unlikely to have such a strong military force."

Yingshu's guess about Jiang Gaofan is completely different from Sikong Yuehu's.

Because she was sure that Jiang Gaofan was a reborn person.

Although it was impossible for Jiang Gaofan to find out about such a small matter as Pei Yu and Wang Qing'e's elopement, Jiang Gaofan must have known about such a big thing as Empress Yu's dethronement. Things that never happened in the previous life have happened. Jiang Gaofan should suspect that there are other reborn people besides him. This should be the reason why he falsified his origins. As for why he had to lie that he was related to Prince Linyi...

It has something to do with her.

Jiang Gaofan was not a spy of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and he did not even intend to be a loyal subject of the Northern Han Dynasty. Now it seemed that his goal was to return to Dayu, and he was most likely to surrender to Sikong Yuehu. Jiang Gaofan must have done something big in his previous life, and he was worried that other reborn people would see through him and strike first, so he had to conceal his true origins.

In his previous life, Jiang Gaofan must not have been a high-ranking official who attracted much attention. If his true appearance was revealed, he would not be killed. Being from Jinyang should be his identification point. To be on the safe side, he erased this identification point that might be unfavorable to him.

Since he was not a high-ranking official, why did being from Jinyang become his identifying point?

It should be related to the aristocratic family in Jinyang.

At this time, Yingshu could only grasp these clues through analysis.

That night, Dianjun kept taking Yingshu to watch the moon. She did not mention Sikong Yuehu specifically, but what she kept talking about was Madam Wei. This kind-hearted woman now felt full of sympathy for Madam Wei's experience. She said that Madam Wei had never been really obsessed with love matters. Even though it was difficult to find a marriage after escaping from the Northern Han, as long as she was willing to live, she would be able to gradually get rid of the misery. She said that compared to Madam Wei, she was really lucky enough.

The Lord of the Palace tonight is quite excited.

Yingshu knew why Dianjun was excited. No matter how cold the eyes are, they will brighten because of someone. No matter how deeply you hide the unspeakable thoughts and try not to say a word, it is difficult to suppress the joyful emotions. This may be the beauty of love. It will make people radiant and energetic. Others can understand it, and you can understand it too.

The prince had no time to care about why that person came or why he came. The fact that he came to the Baoguang Hall in the Weiyang Palace made the prince happy.

Legend has it that there are actually no lovers living in the bright moon, but those who hope for mutual love will have a full moon in their eyes. They don’t need to drink, as they are already tipsy. And those who are sober certainly cannot bear to tell others about things that are destined to be regrettable.

Yingshu didn't even tell Dianjun that she might soon face a choice. One side of the choice was the life that Dianjun had originally expected, and the other side was the people and things that made her excited today. She couldn't have both.

Tonight, there is actually a crescent moon.
