Qin Zhenyuan has always had a bad impression of the second prince. He didn't do anything to say nothing. Instead, he often held the name of a prince and formed the party for personal gain. He felt good about himself. In fact, the officials secretly laughed at him secretly.
The second prince did not come to Qin's house for a while, but Qin Zhenyuan was rarely at home before. On the surface, Chen was very polite to the second prince, but in fact he looked down on him and didn't look at him.
Especially once the second prince slapped and said that he wanted to marry Qin Yinyin, Chen immediately felt unhappy. If it weren't for his eldest son's face, he would have beaten him out long ago.
Even so, the second prince could also see that Chen was not happy, he was upset in his heart, but he did not show it.
After he left, Chen said with a sneer: "I don't even look at what I have. I don't have anything with my hands. I still marry my daughter. Let's dream!"
Since then, the second princes have come less, and once in a while, Chen also evaded that he was upset, letting the housekeeper dismiss it lukewarm or cold.
But it was precisely because of this that the Chen family also allowed Qin Yinyin to speed up the offensive against the third prince, and let her take the third prince down as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, it would be troublesome.
The second prince is also a prince, if he asks for a decree to marry him, Chen really can't say anything to refuse.
Qin Zhenyuan didn't know about these things, he just had a bad impression of the second prince, and he politely refused his wooing, nothing else.
Now listening to Qin Youran's words, she shook her head and said, "I really didn't expect that the dignified son would do such a thing."
"Father," Qin Youran said, "His Royal Highness An invites his daughter to investigate the old city together. During the investigation, we discovered that this matter is not just as simple as corruption."
Qin Zhenyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What else?"
Qin Youran groaned for a moment, and said, "Father, do you know that the Grassland King has a son named Unajin?"
"Of course," Qin Zhenyuan nodded and said, "Although he is not the eldest son of the Grassland King, nor is he the most favored son, this person has left an impression on me."
Qin Youran asked: "Oh
how to say? "
Qin Zhenyuan thought about it for a while and said, "This matter will start from last year. When I returned to the capital, I made a deliberate detour to the grassland border defense. I happened to meet Unajin, who was following the eldest son of the grassland king. We did the inspection together, the eldest son was heroic, his ambition was written on his face, and his brows and eyes were full of arrogance."
When Qin Zhenyuan said this, he paused, took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and asked Qin Youran, "Youran, do you know what kind of person should be the most guarded?"
Qin Youran smiled and said: "Father, my daughter thinks that those who write everything on their faces are not the most terrifying. What is terrifying is those who are quiet, like snakes hiding in the dark, silent, but It may be a fatal blow at any time."
Qin Zhenyuan smiled appreciatively, nodded and said, "Yes, Unajin is such a person. At that time, he was beside the eldest son of the Grassland King, with low eyebrows and a small smile without saying a word, but there were all calculations between his eyebrows and his father. When I saw him at the time, I felt that he was not easy. Sure enough, I later heard that he escaped from the grassland and caused the grassland to cause some serious trouble."
Qin Youran filled him with tea again, and whispered: "Father, this rumor is true. My daughter has seen Unajin before."
Qin Zhenyuan was startled, the tea was almost spilled, frowned and said, "Have you seen it? Where is it?"
Qin Youran sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It was near the capital. He was discovered by accident at the time. His Royal Highness An recognized him. Unfortunately, he let him run away. However, this time in the old city, There are also the shadows of the steppe people, but I don’t know whether they are Unajin’s people or his opponents. These have yet to be ascertained."
Qin Zhenyuan furrowed his brows, his fingers firmly held the teacup, and he lowered his head into deep thought. He has been leading soldiers for many years, and he knows the unpredictable changes of the situation, and also knows that a little bit of trouble may sometimes be a precursor to a series of big moves.
After thinking about it for a long time, he put down the teacup, stood up and said: "No, for the father, I have to write Zhezi as soon as possible, and mention to the emperor the facts about the deployment of troops on the grassland border. It seems that this matter should be paid close attention to, sooner rather than later. ."
"Father," Qin Youran stopped him and said, "My daughter has something to say to her father.
Listen, it's not too late for my father to write memorials after listening. "
Qin Zhenyuan has valued Qin Youran more and more these days. He has discovered more and more that this daughter is very talented in all aspects. He is willing to talk to her subconsciously, even if he doesn’t even notice. , He was willing to tell Qin Youran even some things in the courtroom.
Qin Zhenyuan heard Qin Youran say this, knowing that she must have her own opinion on this matter, he was surprised and curious, not knowing what she would say.
So he sat back again, took a sip from the teacup, "If you have anything, say it slowly."
Qin Youran groaned: "Father and daughter think that it must be right to guard against the grassland. They are brave and good at fighting, and they are much better than us in the Central Plains in terms of physical strength and physique."
Qin Zhenyuan nodded, "Yes, especially the tactics right away, not just the people, but their horses, even more so."
Qin Youran said: "Exactly. Therefore, it is necessary to guard against them, but we have to look at it in the long run. If we only strengthen the defense of troops, they will also inquire about the news, and they will also send me to investigate the truth. In any special situation, they will not start a war easily, so our soldiers and our horses must be there to guard him."
Speaking of this, Qin Youran slowed down and said slowly: "In other words, to beat him, you need money, and you need money to defend him. People eat horses and feed. This is not a small expense, plus the imperial court. The army's strength is also limited. If he is guarded, other places will be weakened. If he joins forces with other places to play a scene similar to Wei Wei and rescue Zhao, then shall we stay or guard?"
Qin Zhenyuan was startled, the teacup was brought to his mouth and then stopped. He was stunned for a while without saying a word. The words Qin Youran said were all over and over in his mind. It is not so much an opinion, it is better that she calculates a sum for herself. account.
And there are many places in this account that he, a veteran on the battlefield, did not see. Not only that, but he also felt that this account was very reasonable. Before, he only knew that warfare would cost the national treasury a lot of money, and he has not yet calculated it. , Defense, the same is true.
Qin Zhen was holding the cup at the far end, in a daze.
