But at this moment, he clearly felt that Jiang Heng had his brother's blood flowing on his body, which was in the same blood as him and Juicy. The volume of this bloodline seems to have caused a certain resonance, as if the souls of the ancestors all appeared in the study, guarding him behind him, making him fearful.
As a result, Juicong once again missed an excellent opportunity.
"Protect yourself." Jiang Heng withdrew his hand, confirmed that Juicong was okay, and let go. At this time, Ju Cong could die, and he had already seen that, although Prince Taki was already the heir, he still needed to grow and establish his career.
Only when Ju Cong is alive can Dayong's chariot continue to move forward.
"Protect yourself too." Juicong said lightly.
Jiang Heng bowed to leave, but Juicong suddenly said, "Heng'er."
Jiang Heng: "?"
When Jiang Heng looked up, he saw the complicated expression in Juicong's eyes. Even if he claimed to have insight into people's hearts, it was extremely difficult to decipher the meaning.
Juicong was silent for a long time, and after a while, he said, "Go and see your great-aunt."
"Yes." Jiang Heng said.
Outside the Peach Blossom Palace, several Yue girls were sweeping snow.
Jiang Heng brought Jie Gui inside. The Queen Mother Jiang was drinking medicine. Geng Shu and Prince Taki were sitting by the side of the hall. Anxi applied medicine for Prince Taki and glanced at Jiang Heng with a smile. The meaning in his eyes was: What do you think? The prince is so well behaved, it's just you.
Jiang Heng just pretended to see her and met the Queen Mother Jiang. The Empress Dowager Jiang was wrapped in a thick robe, looking at where the injury was, her face was as usual, just as usual, and she nodded lightly.
"Did your mother have an injury before?" Queen Mother Jiang said.
"Yes." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu patted himself beside him, let Jiang Heng sit over, and replied, "Madam has an old injury, Nian Ying and Zheng Zaixun fought in the east. In order to assassinate the enemy general, her injury is irreparable."
Jiang Heng always knew how his mother's injury fell, but seeing that the Queen Mother Jiang had no intention to mention more, he had to give up.
Prince Taki said to Jiang Heng, "Heng'er, can you handle government affairs now?"
"You let him rest for a while," the Queen Mother Jiang frowned. "He was injured in a conspicuous place, but it was not light at all."
Prince Taki sighed and nodded. After Jie Gui entered the Peach Blossom Palace, he stood behind the Queen Mother Jiang. At this time, the Queen Mother Jiang made a small movement, exchanged glances with Jie Gui, and Jie Gui nodded visibly.
Jiang Heng suddenly sensed something strange from this tiny action, and the Queen Mother Jiang knew it! She knew that Jie Gui had left the Crown Prince behind and looked for him? In other words, Jie Gui never planned to assassinate Prince Ling from the very beginning. His goal was always himself. This was the task that the Queen Mother gave him!
It may be inexplicable to change others, but Jiang Heng always feels that something is not right. He spends a lot of time with his great-aunt, Empress Dowager Jiang, but from his mother Jiang Zhao, he has established a tacit connection with her. —
Empress Dowager Jiang should be such a person.
In the face of a national disaster, and a battle to subjugate the country, the Empress Dowager Jiang must have nothing to fear. She fears not only her own death, but also the death of her children and grandchildren. Nothing can frustrate her. , Threat her, even if Zhao Ling held Ju Cong and Ju Taki, and put the knife on their necks, the Queen Mother Jiang would give in.
He Jiang Heng's safety should be within her consideration. Instead, he is fighting for the end of the fish and the net, and he also has to take the life of Prince Ling, so that since he dares to shoot down wild geese, he must do it all. In preparation for the return, it is said that it is better to be broken into pieces of jade than to be full of tiles, which is exactly the case.
why? Jiang Heng understands that his life is so important
"It's all about government affairs," Prince Taki's voice brought him back to his senses, "The treasury is empty, it's been a while, and the supplies for winter are even more scarce. The three cities were first occupied, then looted, and robbed. It's been a while."
Jiang Hengdao: "I already have a solution. I will inform Song Zou and ask him to escort Song County's money and grain quickly, and then prepare the silver money in the treasury, and go through Song County to secretly buy materials from Ying State."
When Prince Taki arrived here, he felt relieved in an instant. Thank goodness, the people starved to death.
"I'm afraid that the country of Ying will sell it." Geng Shu said to Jiang Heng.
"It will be sold." Jiang Heng turned his head and explained to Geng Shu, "Their enemy is us. If father killed Lord Changling, there should have been a relationship between the kingdom of Ying and the kingdom of Yong. How much hatred."
Prince Taki said: "I can write a letter in the name of Donggong, and bow my head to Ying for a while. So far, it can only be like this."
"I'll write it," Jiang Heng said, "you can just copy it once."
"Since there is no deep hatred," Prince Taki said, "Why did Lord Changling join the alliance fourteen years ago?"
Jiang Heng said: "In the war of the five kingdoms, you always have to make some money, right? This time, the country of Ying was originally the least..."
"talking about state affairs." Empress Dowager Jiang was still in a calm tone.
Jie Gui laughed.
After Jiang Heng's recovery, the most important thing was state affairs. Geng Shu would sometimes chat with him, but he didn't care about the troubles of the government other than military affairs. Instead, Jiang Heng only wanted to get together with Prince Taki. , there is always something to say, Jiang Heng is responsible for saying that Prince Taki has become his most loyal public, just like two children, when it is dark, he can also say it.
From this point of view, Jiang Heng and Crown Prince Taki are each other's confidants, and Geng Shu is not far behind in the goals of others.
"It is said that my aunt used a sword in front of the ancestral temple," Jiang Heng said, "Are you all right?"
"After marrying your great-uncle, I lost my martial arts skills and lost my spiritual skills, so I never killed anyone." Empress Dowager Jiang said lightly, "But if you want to kill someone, you will be soft-hearted, don't worry."
Prince Taki said, "Where's the head of Che Yu?"
"Send it back for Zhao Ling's appreciation," Queen Mother Jiang said. "You idiot who thinks about himself, this is the end he deserves."
"Che... is dead?" Jiang Heng was completely shocked. He had seen Che Ying in Zheng Guo a year ago. Che Ying was burly, majestic, and even a martial artist. He never came before the ancestral temple. , was actually Empress Dowager Jiang's once-in-a-lifetime general.
Empress Dowager Jiang just snorted coldly, and Zheng Ren, who was thousands of miles away, expressed her contempt.
"How about the casualties?" Geng Shu asked suddenly, and he was most concerned about the casualties.
"Fourteen people," said Empress Dowager Jiang, "have been comforted according to the rules of the palace."
After the fall of the Yue Kingdom, the Yue people who fled to Dayong have now mostly mixed into the people and formed a new Yong people. The Geng and Wei families are the Yue people faction. Empress Dowager Jiang was surrounded by twenty-four maids, all of whom were Vietnamese women with high martial arts skills. In order to protect the empress dowager and the prince, they suffered heavy casualties.
Jiang Heng sighed, and Empress Dowager Jiang said again: "In a war, people will die. Today's death is Che Yu, and tomorrow's death is me. In a great conflict, the king's way is lost. Assemble the team, show the country, and get together after a competition. The idea of getting together and dispersing. If you need to stop, you must be soft-hearted, impulsive and reckless, that is, foolishness, how to protect your people?"
is to remind Jiang Heng, but also to remind Prince Taki that the Empress Dowager Jiang did not settle accounts with her grandson, and run when it is time to run.
"Yes." Prince Taki said.
"It's time to eat," said the Queen Mother Jiang. "When you're done, go back to work, don't waste your time with my half-broken old lady."
In the afternoon, Jie Gui still followed Jiang Heng back. On this day, the East Palace officially resumed handling the affairs of the state, which relieved the burden of Ju Cong, Guan Wei and others. Jiang Heng appeared again, this time the attitude of the Eastern Palace's guests towards him was completely the same.
He and Geng Shu saved some people in the city, not only the royal family but also the families of the scholars. Keen people have seen that Jiang Heng was in the court and was trained as a prime minister. Maybe he will be Guan Wei's successor - assuming there are no surprises.
Geng Shu came to take credit, protecting his family was only natural for him, so everyone's thanks went to Jiang Heng.
"Anyone missing?" Jiang Heng saw that seven people were absent from the East Palace.
"The ones who didn't come," Zeng Rong said, "all died in the war, except for Niu Min, who was torn apart by a car."
Hearing the news that Niu Min was split by a car, Jiang Heng felt very sad, and some of the joy was all diluted. The remaining six were indiscriminately slaughtered by Zheng Jun during the war, or shot to death by random arrows while guarding the prince to kill Hui Luoyan.
He looked at Prince Taki with reproach in his eyes. If he was there, Niu Min would never have a chance to speak. With such an ending, Prince Taki was even more miserable, and Jiang Heng could not bear to talk about him again.

"Reformation requires new assignments," Prince Taki said. "The affairs that will be vacated today should be newly assigned."
"We'll discuss it later." Geng Shu said to Prince Taki, "There is something to announce first."
Everyone stopped and looked at Geng Shu. Geng Shu thought for a moment, and exchanged glances with Jiang Heng.
"Choosing a day is like hitting the sun," Geng Shu said, "call someone to invite Lang Huang, Prince of Linhu, and Meng He, Prince of Fengrong."
Shan Ze was sitting behind Prince Taki. Prince Taki had discussed with Jiang Heng long before the war, knowing that it was time, and explained: "This battle of falling wild geese is thanks to the brother Wang who brought back the allied army of the three clans. It was also given to him. I have a reason, in the face of difficulties, Dayong must unite the three clans, just like many years ago as brothers and sisters, and I think they must have an additional seat in the East Palace."
Zeng Rong said: "It should be like this."
There is no objection in the East Palace. Although it is unprecedented in history for foreigners to enter the East Palace to participate in politics, this war has made everyone understand that internal divisions and disputes will waste the country, and only unity will be lost. Only with one heart can we overcome some difficulties.
The people of the three tribes calculated their previous suspicions and showed their loyalty, and the Yong people should also give back. What's more, Shan Ze seldom intervened in Yongren's internal affairs during the months when he served as a staff member in the East Palace.
Meng He and Lang Huang came, and they both smelled of alcohol. Lang Huang said: "I think if you come to read and write articles, you can avoid it? Let Shan Ze take care of us..."
"Just sit down!" Jiang Heng finally couldn't bear it any longer, "Where do you get so many?"
Everyone laughed. Prince Taki and the foreigners knew each other too well. Fortunately, Jiang Heng was able to restrain Meng He, and Meng He sat down with a smile.
Lang Huang's footsteps were vain, he first saluted the Crown Prince Taki, then sat down at will, untied his jacket, revealing his strong wheat-colored chest to dissipate heat.
"A few adults who will be sacrificed," said Prince Taki, "the new report will be sent to Jiang Heng."
There was a rustling sound in the East Palace, and they sorted out their files.
"Wine? Yes?" Meng He said.
"No." Jiang Heng said, "Drink and drink outside."
Lang Huang sat lazily leaning against the pillar, his chest and abdominal muscles wide open, and he said, "I don't have any opinion."
Prince Taki said, "This is your chance. Whatever Lin Hu needs and needs can be realized through reform. If you cherish it, I will take it back."
Prince Taki's majesty is there, and this time he took a big risk to rescue Luoyan, which has been recognized by all the Hus.
With a smile in his eyes, Jiang Heng glanced at Lang Huang and motioned him to take care of him.
"I mean, I have no opinion on the reform," Lang Huang said. "Let Jiang Heng, Shan Ze and the others deal with it."
"Are you even willing to go to court on the first day?" Jiang Heng said, "Sit down until we leave the court."
Jiang Heng also knew in his heart that Meng He only liked to hunt idly, or participate in the war, and let him sit down at all, which was harder than Geng Shu to serve. Lang Huang likes to deal with Yong people. He originally discussed with Prince Taki that foreign princes love to come, but they reserve their seats and can come at any time.
In this way, if they have something to say, they can say it, and they can do whatever they want.
"Someone killed me in this place," Lang Huang said, "I feel at ease."
"No one wants to kill you," said Prince Taki. "The past is written off, Prince Wuluo, I didn't apologize to you."
Lang Huang waved his hand, and suddenly Geng Shu's expression changed, and something happened.
He looked at Jie Gui, as if he understood something.
Is it just a coincidence that Jie Gui wants to kill Lang Huang? At that time, he could completely open his eyes and close his eyes. Why risk making Jiang Heng angry, but also borrow his own hands to get rid of Lang Huang? It's so worth it.
Geng Shu himself has always regarded "letting Jiang Heng's anger" as a big thing. Even if there is another choice, he will never let Jiang Heng's anger. This slight anger is reasonable and immediately aroused. his vigilance.
"Brother?" Jiang Heng asked in surprise.
Geng Shu came back to his senses and replied, "It's nothing."
Lang Huang looked at Geng Shu and Jiang Heng again, looking at someone in the East Palace, and there was a smell of alcohol in the East Palace. Prince Taki completely understood why these barbarians like it so much. Alcoholism, had to assign tasks in advance, and then let people leave.
