Jiang Sulan was confused by his confusing behavior and blinked at Jiang Zhiyu.
My sister knows everything, and she must know the purpose behind Xiao Siyuan's strange behavior.
Just as she thought, the next moment, Jiang Zhiyu gave her the answer.
He had been hanging out with Xiao Qingwu for too long, which had aroused Sun Yue's suspicion. Sun Yue had a hot temper and couldn't keep secrets. If she knew, she would definitely cause a big fuss.
So Xiao Siyuan would find time every day to visit Xu's residence and have his spies report back to Sun Yue, thus diverting the trouble away.
Jiang Sulan: “!!!”
You're using her to block the knife, right?!
Jiang Zhiyu looked at Jiang Sulan and couldn't help but sigh.
My poor sister has become part of their play plan.
Jiang Sulan's eyes showed confusion.
What?
What Prey?
[It's okay. After today, he won't have time to bother me. It might be three years at the shortest, or even longer. He won't be able to come back before the time comes.]
Is it finally her turn for something good?!
Jiang Sulan's eyes sparkled with excitement, her hands were clenched together, her cheeks flushed, and she tried her best to suppress her inner excitement.
Hurry! Hurry up!
…
In the imperial study, Xing Maozhi stood trembling in the center of the hall. Two Jinyiwei knelt on the ground behind him, describing in detail the details of the prison break last night.
When it was mentioned that the sword moves used by Tuo Lei Yanjiang Wenjing were Mobei moves, cold sweat broke out on Xing Maozhi's forehead, and the emperor's hand holding the pen paused slightly.
Only after the two Jinyiwei had finished their conversation and left did the emperor speak: "Master Xing, I had no idea your source of information had even reached my imperial study."
His voice was very calm, but it sounded like a basin of ice hitting Xing Maozhi's face, chilling him to the bone and making him tremble uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I..."
He hesitated for a long time, unable to say anything, and felt extremely regretful.
If he had known that the Jinyiwei were also there, he would not have dared to tell Jiang Wenjing even if he had ten times the courage!
Fu Ping, who was standing next to the emperor, looked calm, but in fact he had been gone for a while.
When Jiang Zhaorong suggested that Jiang Wenjing replace Jiang Kang'an, he was the only one serving the emperor. He wanted to shirk the blame, but he had nowhere to do so!
The emperor tapped the table lightly with his fingers. Fuping, who had been following him, naturally knew his mood at the moment.
With a thud, he knelt down.
The sound was so loud that Xing Maozhi couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The emperor stopped and looked at him with a faint smile.
Fu Ping didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and told him how Xing Maozhi's confidants bribed him, how much he took, and how much he distributed to his subordinates, without daring to hide a single cent.
"Your Majesty, this is my first time. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me this time, considering the many years I have followed you."
Fuping begged for mercy with tears in his eyes, and Xing Maozhi also begged for mercy.
The emperor's eyes were dark, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Suddenly, he heard the eunuch outside announce: "Master Jiang wants to see you."
The emperor's expression suddenly softened a bit: "Announce."
As soon as Jiang Zhiyu entered the room, she saw two people with tear marks on their faces looking up at her, and she exclaimed: "Wow!"
What's going on?
The emperor waved his hand gently and said, "How come you have time to come here today? What do you have to say to me?"
As he spoke, he offered Jiang Zhiyu a seat. After Jiang Zhiyu sat down, he said, "Prince Tore and his group robbed the prison last night, and they have all been captured by your second brother. I was just thinking about how to reward him."
[Rewards? Of course the more the better.]
emperor:"……"
After not seeing it for a few days, it still tastes familiar.
Xing Maozhi, who was standing by, couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Reward?
After hearing what the Embroidered Uniform Guard said, the emperor must have become suspicious of Jiang Wenjing. Let alone rewarding him, it would be difficult for him to keep his position as general.
I finally took the initiative to show kindness to others, but I lost so completely.
"Since the Mobei envoys have no intention of resolving the matter amicably and instead resort to such a lowly method as jailbreaking, I no longer need to show them any mercy. Why not have Wen Jing lead his troops to attack the Oirat immediately? What do you think, Zhiyu?"
"I agree to attack the Oirat, but I have a different proposal regarding the selection of this general."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who does Zhiyu have in mind for the general?"
It must be Jiang Kangan.
Jiang Kangan is indeed a talented general. Although he is in good health now, he has been lying in bed for two years and knows nothing about military affairs. If the general is replaced rashly, I am afraid that his soldiers will be dissatisfied, which will be bad.
The emperor was thinking about how to politely refuse Jiang Zhiyu after she proposed Jiang Kang'an, but he heard Jiang Zhiyu mention a candidate he had never thought of.
"I propose the Fifth Prince Xiao Siyuan."
emperor:"!!!"
who?
Who is she talking about?
Xing Maozhi and Fuping were also stunned and looked at her blankly.
All the princes of the Oirat Mongols have been captured, and now there is no one available, so attacking the Oirat Mongols is a piece of cake.
This is simply military merit delivered to your doorstep!
But who is she going to push it to now?
Xiao Siyuan???!!!!
"Why?"
The emperor looked puzzled. Jiang Zhiyu was so smart that she must understand that this was a lucrative job. Besides, he remembered that his fifth son had once wanted to harm her sister, right?
Hand over military achievements to the enemy?
What is this operation?
"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is unrivaled in bravery, possesses mastery of military tactics, and controls weapons with unwavering grace. He is truly a talented general. If this matter is handed over to the Fifth Prince, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort, wipe out the barbarians, and protect the territory and the people!"
Her passionate boasting made the emperor look up to Xiao Siyuan. Then, he heard Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice:
【yue】
emperor:"……"
So what she just said really didn't come from her heart.
The Oirat tribe had no one available, so attacking them alone would have been easy. However, despite its remote location, it possessed abundant underground resources. Initially, the Junggar and Khoshu tribes remained aloof, but as the fighting progressed, they discovered these resources and joined the battle, fighting for the land.
The war, which should have taken less than six months to complete, was dragged on and on by the involvement of two other tribes. When it was finally won, it was discovered that within the Tianqi territory, there were lands with resources comparable to those of the Oirat. The Oirat suddenly became a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.
[As for this military achievement, the court officials didn't care about the sudden situation on the front line. They just thought that the Oirat had no one to use. They dragged out a battle that was easy as pie for several years before they won it. And they still give you military merit?]
"Anyway, it took my elder brother three years to win. Who knows how many years Xiao Siyuan will fight for?"
If you can't solve the problem, solve the thing that caused the problem.
Jiang Zhiyu curled his lips.
[It's fine if he's just hanging out with his own sister, but he has to drag my sister into this. Too many smiles are enough to make her sick!]
emperor:"……"
hiss.
