Xiao Qinghuan

"What did you say?!"

Jiang Ying knelt on the ground with a plop: "My lord, Xie Yongming has indeed been ordered to take responsibility."

"I heard it clearly." Jiang Xiaohan was almost blinded by the news, and hurriedly supported the book case to stand firm, took a deep breath, and managed not to lose his composure: "Who issued the order for accountability."

"It's... Ning Zheng, Third Highness," Jiang Ying said.

Jiang Xiaohan laughed, and squeezed out two words between his teeth: "Idiot."

Jiang Ying knelt on the ground with one knee, cupped his sword and said, "This is a sealed decree, and it was sent out of Beijing in secret. It wasn't until Xie Yongming in the border town was captured that our people heard the news."

"Xie Yongming is the first-rank protector of my dynasty, and he is by no means inferior to me in terms of official position and title. How could Ning Zheng have the courage to issue an order to question him." Jiang Xiaohan gritted his teeth: "Ning Zheng is an idiot, and his gang of wine bags and rice bags are also full of money. Do you cook?"

Jiang Ying knew that he was just out of breath and didn't really want to hear a sentence from him, so she waited silently in place without speaking.

Jiang Xiaohan only felt that these messes were mixed together, it seemed like a sudden disaster, and he would lose ten years of life.

The thick porcelain teacup was cracked by him, Jiang Mo was terrified watching from the side, and hurriedly followed to persuade.

"My lord." Jiang Mo said, "What should we do now?"

"How?" Jiang Xiaohan flicked his sleeves: "What about the news, let me read it!"

Jiang Ying hurriedly pulled out two copper pipes from her sleeve, and took out a letter sealed with wax: "This is a handwritten letter from Xing Shuo, Minister of Dali Temple. I dare not open it, so please open it yourself." .”

Jiang Xiaohan collected himself and took the letter from Jiang Ying first.Dali Temple is in charge of criminal cases, and has always been well-informed in Beijing and China, but after all, the official position is special, and his every move is watched by someone, so although he is in the same party as Jiang Xiaohan, he seldom interacts with him.

Especially after Jiang Xiaohan left Beijing, this was the first time Xing Shuo wrote to him.

Jiang Xiaohan suddenly had a bad feeling.

He hastily opened the letter, read the ten lines at a glance, and then slapped the two thin papers on the desk.

"Ning Zheng is so brave!" Jiang Xiaohan shouted angrily.

Jiang Mo Jiangying didn't know what was written in the letter, and naturally he didn't know why he was so angry. They looked at each other for a long time, but they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.

"Where is Ning Zheng to be held accountable? He is rushing to ask for guilt." Jiang Xiaohan shook the letter in his hand with a smile: "The third highness is so majestic, and the decree is that Xie Yongming resisted and did not obey the decree. , accusing him of being disrespectful."

Jiang Mo was taken aback, for he was not as sensitive to government affairs as Jiang Ying and Jiang Xiaohan, and he also knew that Xie Yongming was stationed at the frontier, not to mention military achievements and prestige, just because the Xie family left Xie Jue in Beijing, the royal family had treated him badly .

In any case, he is absolutely immovable.

"Third Highness..." Jiang Mo didn't panic at all, swallowed, and swallowed the following sentence "lost insanity" into his stomach.

"The Xie family's army is the foundation of our dynasty, so it must not be tampered with." After all, Jiang Ying was born as a shadow guard in the palace. Naturally, he knew the advantages and disadvantages better than Jiang Mo, and said quickly: "Young master, you have to think of a way."

Jiang Xiaohan pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, and sat behind the desk: "Let's not talk about it, does Xie Jue know?"

"I don't know yet." Jiang Ying said: "Even if the news comes from the border town day and night, it will definitely not be as fast as ours. In addition, General Xie has often been with Mr. Cheng recently, and he doesn't come back often. Someone told him."

"Jiang Mo arranges people first to hold Xie Jue back." Jiang Xiaohan waved his hand: "No matter what, Xie Jue cannot be told about this."

Xie Jueren is young and full of youthful spirit. When he first heard about this matter, he would go back to the capital without hesitation. Jiang Xiaohan didn't want to be distracted by coaxing this young master when he was in a state of desperation.

"Yes." Jiang Mo knew the priorities, and hurriedly responded.

As soon as Jiang Mo left, only Jiang Ying and Jiang Xiaohan were left in the room.

Jiang Ying stood up, took a step forward, and said to Jiang Xiaohan in a slightly lowered voice, "Something has happened."

His tone was quite firm, and Jiang Xiaohan did not refute.

Jiang Xiaohan pursed his lips: "Xing Shuo sent a letter saying that Ning Zheng was determined to question Xie Yongming, and it was discussed twice at the secret meeting, but persuasion was useless, and Ning Zheng still insisted on going his own way."

Jiang Ying said in a low voice, "Third Highness is stupid, but how could he make his mind on Xie Yongming. Obviously, no matter whether he fights with Ning Yu or not, Xie Yongming will never stand in line."

"Look, even you understand this truth." Jiang Xiaohan smiled wryly: "It's a pity that someone can't help but stir up the flames."

Jiang Ying tentatively asked: "...Young Master, are you saying that Ning Zheng's subordinates are restless?"

Jiang Xiaohan shook his head: "No matter how ambitious these old foxes are, they will not lose their minds. Xie Jiajun is a hot potato, not to mention that Ning Zheng is not yet the prince, even if he has already settled in the East Palace, he dares to fight Xie Jiajun before His Majesty Longyu Bintian. If you start, you don’t want to live anymore.”

Jiang Ying fell silent when he heard the words. Jiang Xiaohan was right. Ning Zongyuan was suspicious all his life, and no one could believe it except himself. He is seriously ill, and he will send this big-hearted son off with a sigh of relief.

"It's probably Ning Yu who asked someone to tease him." Jiang Xiaohan pushed the cracked teacup aside, and laughed, "I can even imagine how he tricked Ning Zheng."

Jiang Ying couldn't help frowning: "...But this matter is too big after all, why doesn't His Majesty stop it."

"Do you really think His Majesty is ignorant of this matter?" Jiang Xiaohan said, "I think this may be His Majesty's acquiescence, otherwise Ning Zheng's will would not be so easy to get out of the capital. Not to mention, no matter whether Your Majesty is old or not, just With His Majesty's disposition, even if he lies motionless on the bed, pinching Ning Yu and Ning Zheng together is no match for His Majesty."

"But Xie Jue is already in the army, Xie Yongming has long been afraid, why should His Majesty do anything more?" Although Jiang Ying has been with Jiang Xiaohan for six years, but in essence, it is still a knife to share the master's worries, and many things can't be understood even in detail.He asked puzzledly: "What's more, Xie Yongming should not be moved at this time. The capital is already in turmoil due to the establishment of the reserve. If Xie Yongming is moved again, won't you be afraid of internal and external troubles?"

Jiang Xiaohan shook his head.

Jiang Ying was right, but there seemed to be something missing.Although Ning Zongyuan was old, he was far from being confused.

——Your heart is unpredictable.

As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger, and whether a courtier lives or dies is always in the mind of your majesty. If Ning Zongyuan feels that he is getting older and unable to do what he wants, and thus becomes jealous of Xie Yongming, it is not impossible.

Since leaving Beijing, Wen Zui, He Liuyun, and Xie Yongming have all happened too hastily and coincidentally, as if there was a hand behind him pushing Jiang Xiaohan forward.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Jiang Ying was a little worried: "My lord..."

Jiang Xiaohan raised his hand at him, stopping the second half of the sentence he was about to blurt out.

"Xing Shuo told me that only Xie Yongming and Xie Yu were ordered to guard and return to the capital this time, but he didn't say a word to Xie Yao." Jiang Xiaohan tapped the table with his fingers: "This shows that Ning Zheng only wants to give Xie Yongming A dismounted, did not really want to use the excuse of 'disrespect' to kill them all. This is a good thing, but we must not relax... Although Xie Yao is a female generation, as long as she has the surname Xie, she has a lot of uses."

Jiang Ying suddenly understood, and he knelt down on one knee: "My lord orders."

"Tell our people to pick up Xie Yao and protect her." Jiang Xiaohan paused, and then said: "I heard that she is pregnant, so there is no need to go far, just find a place nearby to settle down."

"Yes." Jiang Ying replied.

"And..." Jiang Xiaohan dipped the tea on the table and twirled his fingertips, his tone became cold: "Ning Zheng can be confused, but His Majesty can't. He has no excuse to thank his family now, so naturally he can only watch with a cold eye. So Thank you family, I must keep it, understand."

Jiang Ying was startled, Jiang Xiaohan has always been "obedient", and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Ning Zongyuan's best servant.No matter how Jiang Xiaohan acts in private, or how he plans in his mind, at least he has never disobeyed Ning Zongyuan, and this is the first time he has revealed his thoughts like this.

Jiang Ying's eyes touched the cold eyes of the other party, and she immediately lowered her head: "Understood."

Jiang Xiaohan sighed inexplicably: "Who are the people who built the shrine for He Liuyun?"

"He Liuyun is very cautious. Most of them are criminals who have broken up with their families in his territory, or are lonely and helpless, and there are also a small number of poor villagers from remote villages." Jiang Ying has always been very sensitive to intelligence, so he answered quickly: "These people usually have no parents, wives and children to visit them in prison or to visit them. Even if they die silently, no one will know."

"In the end, since Your Majesty can't interfere, it's much easier to win people from Ning Zheng." Jiang Xiaohan flicked his fingers, and the water droplets fell lightly on the steps: "Ning Zheng doesn't have the courage of a strong man like Ning Yu to break his wrist. If you want to make a fuss about Xie Yongming, wouldn't it be over if I exchanged one with him?"

Jiang Ying already understood what he meant: "I'll send a letter to our people, telling them to keep an eye on He Liuyun's ancestral hall."

"No." Jiang Xiaohan shook his head: "Send the letter to Wei Shen."

Jiang Ying asked blankly, "Master Wei?"

It's no wonder that Jiang Ying was puzzled, such private matters have always been kept as tightly as possible, there is no reason to make a big fuss.What's more, Wei Shen is a member of the Shenwei camp, the emperor's guard.If Ning Zongyuan had any hint of advice in this matter, Jiang Xiaohan's plan would be completely lost.

"Let's do it like this." Jiang Xiaohan said without doubt.

He wanted to gamble.

I also want to try Wei Shen—or Ning Zongyuan's bottom line.

Except for Xie Jue, a wealthy general, there is one in the Shenwei Battalion, all of which are synonymous with the emperor's will, not to mention Wei Shen, the commander.

The battle between the dragon and the tiger in Beijing is intensifying, and Jiang Xiaohan has to make plans for himself.But the two "dragons and tigers" who are currently competing are really far from the choice he is satisfied with as the crown prince. As a last resort, he can only choose from a side door.

For example, Ning Zongyuan's preferences.

The emperor's happiness and anger are invisible, but they are not without trace.Jiang Xiaohan only needs to be sure whether Ning Zheng's actions were ordered by Ning Zongyuan, or whether Ning Zongyuan's tricks, then he can get a clear picture of the situation.
