Chu Jingxing focused on the sentence that he couldn't treat them equally. He laughed at himself and showed an appropriate expression: "I understand, father."
If you really understood, you wouldn't respond so quickly.
King Linjiang leaned against the cushion, but sat upright, staring at him for a long time: "I hope you really understand."
Otherwise, he really has more than one son.
Unlike Emperor Longqing, he would not disregard a child just because he suspected the mother of that child. He also valued Chu Jingan and others equally, at least in terms of education.
In this way, although not everyone can become a useful person, there will definitely be no waste.
If Chu Jing is not good enough, he still has a second son who is good in every way except lacking some skills. If Chu Jing is not good enough, he still has three sons.
Chu Jingxing's heart beat faster at the implication of these words, but he quickly calmed down and endured it until he returned home, then he coldly closed the door.
His father had many sons, and there was one legitimate son among them that he favored more.
Even though he stayed in the capital for so many years for the sake of the palace and was separated from his parents at a young age, he still did not receive more trust and favor from his father.
How unfair!
Even Shen Chen, who was not his biological son and an outsider, could gain his father's trust and love, but he, the biological son who should have been the most honorable eldest son, could do nothing.
That's ridiculous.
After Chu Jingxing finished laughing, he carefully sorted out the whole thing. The next day, when Nanny Yuan came to give daffodils to Princess Linjiang, he asked Nanny Yuan to go back and bring a message to Princess Chang'an.
Princess Chang'an was discussing something with Mr. Bai at that time.
The current garrison commander of Datong has been replaced. The General Zhenyuan Yang Jia, who had been guarding Datong, was transferred to Xuanfu, and the garrison commander of Datong was replaced by Zou Ying, the former commander of Dengzhou Guard.
The second master Xie is now on almost the same level as Zou Ying, but the ironware and iron mines in Jin are not exclusively controlled by the Xie family. He wants to find an opportunity to take over all the ownerless private mines in Jin and monopolize the business of transporting ironware to outside the Great Wall.
This is an extremely bold decision.
Mr. Bai hesitated: "Xie Er's appetite is a bit too big. He wants to devour the entire Jin land at once. How can it be that simple?"
Indeed, there are quite a few people in Jin doing this business.
How can it be so easy to swallow them all, big and small
"But if we don't agree, with Xie Er's temper, there's no telling what he will do." Princess Chang'an frowned coldly: "He is a lunatic after all."
For a madman, the best way is to try to maintain the balance and maximize the benefits when the balance of interests can be maintained.
Mr. Bai thought about it and was about to speak when Nanny Yuan knocked on the door and asked to see him.
Princess Chang'an raised her eyebrows at Mr. Bai and let Nanny Yuan in: "What did Chu Jingxing say?"
Nanny Yuan lowered her voice and said, "The prince said that if Second Master Xie brings up the idea of taking over the private mines in Jin again, we should agree to his request."
What a big tone.
Ignorance is truly bliss.
Princess Chang'an was about to speak.
Nanny Yuan said, "The prince said that they already had the Ping An Escort Agency. They can continue escorting people. The Ping An Escort Agency is most familiar with the route to the Western Regions and has connections in Tatar... No matter where those people go, the Ping An Escort Agency will always know. If they come a few more times, naturally no one will dare to do this business anymore."
Princess Chang'an seemed to be thinking about something, and even Mr. Bai was listening in silence.
Did Chu Jingxing mean to let Ping An Escort Agency rob people? While those people were robbing the goods, they would kill people and rob them
This is not a bad idea. What they are doing is illegal in the first place. Even if those people suffer losses, they will definitely not say anything.
When the reputation of Ping An Escort Agency spreads, those who still want to do business outside the Great Wall will naturally have to ask the escort agency for help in transporting their goods, while those small and incompetent ones will be completely cannibalized and defeated.
Princess Chang'an and Mr. Bai looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes.
I have to say, this is indeed a feasible solution.
Mr. Bai stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness has great ambitions."
At the same time, the ambition is too great.
Princess Chang'an frowned.
Such an ambitious man is really difficult to control and conquer. Princess Xianrong has no other choice but to obey him if she marries him.
Such a person...
Princess Chang'an closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was calm again and asked Nanny Yuan: "Besides this, what else did he say?"
Nanny Yuan hesitated for a moment before leaning forward and unconsciously lowering her voice: "The prince also asked the princess to do him another favor and pass a message to Liu Biping."
Liu Biping?!
Princess Chang'an's right eyelid twitched violently.
Mr. Bai immediately understood and reminded Princess Chang'an: "Does he mean to... take action against Shen Chen?"
He just wanted to attack Shen Chen.
Before, you said to slow down and knew that you wanted Mr. Xie to restrain himself, so how come you can't help it again
Princess Chang'an was about to refuse, but Nanny Yuan said, "The prince said that you can just go ahead and do it."
Just do it
Do you think that Prince Linjiang is leaving Beijing anyway, and he won’t be able to care about Shen Chen’s life or death on the road
still... ... .
Before Princess Chang'an could come back to her senses, Nanny Yuan continued, "The prince also said that you should be more tactful and tell Liu Biping that the Seventh Miss of the Wei family is also involved."
Does this mean that you want to kill Wei An as well
Princess Chang'an considered it for a while and then looked at Mr. Bai: "What do you think, sir?"
Mr. Bai thought carefully for a while, then nodded calmly: "It's not completely impossible. The emperor has made up his mind to open the Fujian Maritime Customs Office, and if it's not Shen Chen, there will be someone else. If Shen Chen dies, the emperor will be even more dissatisfied with Liu Biping. In this way, the opening of the Fujian Maritime Customs Office will be more effective. The prince may have even thought of the subsequent candidates."
Princess Chang'an still couldn't make up her mind.
To go against Wei An is to go against King Zheng.
King Zheng may seem quiet, but he is not an easy person to deal with.
It would have been fine if nothing happened to Wei An, or rather, it would have been fine if Wei An was not involved. Once Wei An was involved, he would never stand idly by.
If he were to find out by then, he would probably fight to the death.
The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tough, the tough are afraid of the desperate. Princess Chang'an knew that she didn't dare to fight with King Zheng with all her strength.
But she was already in the game, and the game had already begun, so it was impossible to withdraw easily...
Should this message be sent or not
Chu Jingxing is really good at making things difficult for others...
