Suddenly, Prince Ning slapped his palm on the table, causing the cups on the table to jump.
Concubine Li was so frightened that she covered her heart and kept looking at Jiang Yijia on the other side.
"Yijia, are you betraying me too?" Jiang Yuanan's expression was very gloomy, as if a quiet wind was coming out of thin air in the cellar late at night in winter.
Jiang Yijia looked serious and replied calmly: "Brother, you don't have any chance now! You can only give up!"
"Haha!" Jiang Yuanan said with a mocking look on his face, "Are you afraid of being implicated? When I was in power, the Fu family rushed to come up, but now that I have lost power, they want to push me away?"
Jiang Yijia knew this was true and couldn't hide it from him. She just continued: "The Fu family thinks so, but Fu Yu is different! He said he wanted us to get married as soon as possible. What's the reason for this? Don't you understand, brother Huang?"
These words made Jiang Yuanan's expression even more ugly, but he was unwilling to accept it and continued: "I'm not at the end of my rope yet. If I succeed, the world will be mine! Since I was born in the Jiang family, why should I give up? "
Seeing that he was stubborn, Jiang Yijia no longer cared about Jiang Yuanan's face and directly revealed his background: "Okay! Since the emperor wants to distinguish, then Yijia will make a good distinction for you!"
She was not as good as Fu Lie when she was in command of Jiang Yuan'an, and then she didn't know people well and was taken advantage of by Yao Ban. Now she is being provoked by the officials, but she has no countermeasures, and she has to come to her, her sister, to give advice. situation.
The words were sharp and concise, pointing directly to Jiang Yuanan's pain point.
Twice on the way, Jiang Yuanan got angry and wanted to take action, but Concubine Li stood up and stopped her, but Jiang Yijia still said everything without missing a word.
Jiang Yuanan in front of him was pulled hard by Concubine Li, with fire almost coming out of his eyes. For the sake of the future, Jiang Yijia continued to stimulate him: "If Brother Huang was really capable, how could he be suppressed by a little Jiang Yuancheng back then!"
This time Jiang Yuanan couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Concubine Li away, and slapped Jiang Yijia to the ground.
The beating made Jiang Yijia's eyes darken for a moment, and half of her face became numb.
But she knew very well that the more Jiang Yuanan behaved like this, the more she knew it was impossible for her.
Jiang Yijia slowly got up, covered her numb face and said the last words: "Brother, sometimes things must happen in life, and my uncle's family is the best reference!"
After she said this, she left without any nostalgia.
The moment Jiang Yijia's back disappeared, Jiang Yuanan sat down dejectedly. He thought about it carefully, but he became more and more unwilling to do so. He grabbed the back of the armrest of the chair, and the veins bulged out, as if they were about to burst.
He suddenly looked at Concubine Li who was crying in front of her and asked, "Does the concubine have the same thoughts as my sister?"
"Of course not—" Midway through her words, Concubine Li covered her mouth.
In the past few days, Jiang Yijia had talked to her a lot, distinguishing the pros and cons.
Especially the fall of the Li family calmed down her ambitions, but Te also saw everything her son had done over the years.
Concubine Li would not be willing to give up at this juncture.
Jiang Yuanan walked over, helped her up and sat down, and whispered: "It seems that the mother-in-law has the same idea as me. It's a life and death situation anyway, so why not give it a try! Are there any more of Yuan Chang's subordinates that Yijia has won over? Just her own people?”
Concubine Li was trembling and said uneasily, "How do you know?"
An affirmative smile appeared on Jiang Yuanan's face: "Since you have to give it a try, you will naturally have to do your best. Don't worry, mother and concubine, if something happens, Yijia will protect you. If it happens, you will be the most noble queen mother of Daqi!"
These words stirred up Concubine Li's heart, making her hesitate. Finally, she nodded: "Okay, I'll help you."
At the same time, in Pei Yu's study, besides Pei Yu himself, Pei Zhixuan was also there.
Pei Yu walked around the room uneasily, while Pei Zhixuan stood at the bottom, nodding and waiting for instructions.
Finally, Pei Yu stopped, looked at his granddaughter in front of him and said, "What do you think of Cui Xiushan?"
"Deserving of a great responsibility."
The brief meeting of four people made Pei Yu feel sad on his face. Pei Zhixuan stepped forward very wisely, helped him sit down, and comforted him: "Grandpa, the Pei family is still deeply trusted and will not fall over in one day."
Pei Yu shook his head: "Zhixuan, this is the inconvenience for you as a daughter. If I were your brother, I'm afraid he would have understood my concerns and given me suggestions by now."
Pei Zhixuan's eyes darkened when he heard him mention Pei Yu.
But he quickly cheered up and said, "Why don't grandfather tell his granddaughter first?"
Looking at such a well-behaved and sensible Pei Zhixuan, Pei Yu felt resentful in his heart and couldn't help but clench his hands. How nice it would be if she were a man!
Unfortunately, it's not.
Pei Yu has been the prime minister for so many years, and Jiang Yue promoted him to him at any time.
But he himself was quite capable, and quickly calmed down and said: "In addition to the imperial edict to confer the crown prince, the emperor also kept Fu Lie for a while. The several officials who were responsible for drafting the imperial edict at that time have not yet withdrawn!"
"Did the Emperor leave an imperial edict?" Pei Zhixuan's mind quickly came to life, and she thought of many possibilities.
But Pei Yu went on to say, "Not only that, Concubine Wei also went to Qianyuan Palace at night. According to reliable information, it was related to Wen Qingzhu."
"Is the Emperor still worried about Wen Qingzhu?" Pei Zhixuan thought this was unlikely.
But she suddenly thought of Wen Qingzhu's childlessness, and there was also a rumor that she was not sure about.
Pei Zhixuan looked at Pei Yu and asked in surprise: "Could Fu Lie rebel?"
"It's... hard to say." Pei Yu's eyes darkened.
He had a thorough understanding of Jiang Yuanhan's temperament.
Even though Jiang Yuanhan didn't show it on the surface, he knew that Jiang Yuanhan was someone who was willing to give up the throne for Wen Qingzhu.
The emperor must have thought of this matter, and the only way was to control Wen Qingzhu.
But how can we control Wen Qingzhu
That's what they don't know yet.
After a few days, the weather got better and better, but at the same time letters from the northwest continued to be sent to the capital.
It was not revealed publicly, but some ministers got it.
Jiang Yue knew that his body was about to be unable to hold on. While summoning Jiang Yuanhan, he also called Wen Qingzhu over as Concubine Wei.
He looked at the two people in front of him and said earnestly: "Han'er, there is something strange happening in the northwest now. I heard from Fan Rong that it is different from the previous situation. Fu Lie will still need to work hard then."
The meaning of this sentence is too deep. If you really want to say this, you should call Fu Lie over.
Jiang Yuanhan looked sideways at Wen Qingzhu, feeling faintly worried.
Wen Qingzhu replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is overly concerned. Fu Lie is the Marquis of Pingguo given by His Majesty. He should serve the country as he should."
"I have already told Fu Aiqing about this matter, and I asked you to come here alone. I just want to tell you that I am responsible for the Lu family's current situation, but which emperor in the world does not hold military power in his own hands? The Lu family clearly faces There are never any problems, and it’s not easy for me to take action, but I have to take action, do you understand this?”
When he said this, the person Jiang Yue looked at was Wen Qingzhu.
She smiled and didn't reply.
Emperors have always been like this, but they can be either decisive or gentle. This is the first time Wen Qingzhu has encountered an emperor like Jiang Yue who clearly doesn't trust him and wants to gain a good reputation.
However, she understood Jiang Yue's personality and lack of ability. Even if he had the opportunity to usurp the throne and had the power, he would only become more and more suspicious.
Those people who died in vain were really innocent.
"I don't have much time now."
Jiang Yue just opened his mouth, but Jiang Yuanhan immediately knelt down and intercepted: "Father, you are talking nonsense! With sister here, you will definitely be able to hold on!"
But Jiang Yue shook his head, he understood his current body.
If he hadn't been restrained by silver needles and hung with rare medicinal materials, he might not have been able to see Jiang Dejia get married.
The most important thing is that Jiang Yuanhan has grown up and can take on big responsibilities, and he is relieved and can go.
The two of you advised me like this, and I entrusted you with such a deep and profound relationship.
Wen Qingzhu looked at it, but he couldn't tell whether they were being hypocritical or not.
By the time they hugged each other and cried, half an hour had passed.
Jiang Yue then wiped his tears, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "According to the secret message sent, the Huns are probably going to take action. It's best for you and Fu Lie to have a child as soon as possible."
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu suddenly raised his head and looked into Jiang Yue's eyes, trying to distinguish whether he was real or fake.
Unfortunately, Wen Qingzhu discovered that she couldn't tell.
But she still thanked her, and Concubine Wei from outside came in appropriately and invited Wen Qingzhu to go out with her.
Without Wen Qingzhu in the room, Jiang Yue's expression calmed down.
He looked at Jiang Yuanhan who had his head lowered and asked, "Do you think I have an ulterior motive?"
Jiang Yuanhan raised his head and glanced at him, meeting a pair of eyes that saw everything.
I saw Jiang Yue twitching his lips: "I do have an ulterior motive. The purpose is to eliminate Fu Lie for you. Only Fu Lie can win this battle in the northwest, but he will not be able to come back alive. As for making Wen Qingzhu pregnant, It's just to dispel her guard, but on the other hand, you really can't let her go. Once Fu Lie dies, you will have the power and you can do whatever you want!"
Jiang Yuanhan lowered his head. This was not the first time he heard someone say this.
Wan Bin had said something similar before, but he knew that Wan Bin's purpose was to drive a wedge between him and Fu Lie.
But the father's purpose was very direct, that is, to finish using Fu Lie and kill him.
Jiang Yuanhan was struggling in his heart. On the one hand, the appearance of his sister appeared in front of him, and on the other hand, he felt the growing hope in his heart.
It's not that he hasn't wavered before, but now there are constant external forces boosting his hope.
Jiang Yuanhan's heart was more intense than ever.
Is it okay as long as Fu Lie dies
Is that sister his
Thinking of the previous time in the dark prison, he deliberately held his sister's hand, but her sister was only worried about his physical condition.
Jiang Yuanhan woke up instantly, lowered his head and knelt down, letting his voice show enough hesitation and struggle: "Please, please allow me, my father... I, my son, think carefully."
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yue finally felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction.
Wen Qingzhu left the house and followed Concubine Wei around the palace.
There was no one else around, only three or two close maids and palace maids were left to wait on him.
Wen Qingzhu didn't hide anything and repeated what Jiang Yue said to her.
After listening, Concubine Wei thought for a long time.
After a long while, she looked at Wen Qingzhu's profile and said, "Your Majesty wants to take action against Fu Lie."
Wen Qingzhu looked calm: "I know that after he killed the important officials in the capital, he also wanted to get rid of the important officials outside the capital. On the other side of Ganzhou, he allowed King Ning to gradually tighten his military power. King Ning did not let him down and did a good job.
As for the collusion between Concubine Wan and the former King of Runan in Cangzhou, he had always known about it, and he might have contributed to it. As for the northwest, the Lu family has no problems. It has been guarding the northwest since Taizu and has always been conscientious.
He told me that this is something that every emperor would worry about, but he never thought about his own problem. If he was capable enough, he could imitate Taizong and release his military power over a cup of wine, but he didn't dare. He was too temperamental because of his lack of ability. suspicious. "
"Then what are you going to do now? Your Majesty may not survive this month." Concubine Wei looked solemn.
