The emperor paused, raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Kang'an.
Of course, he also knew that He Yanting frequently went to Xu's house.
Combined with what Jiang Kangan said without a pause just now, the emperor had every reason to suspect that Jiang Kangan was seeking revenge for personal gain.
He Yanting was specifically sent to Shengjing.
He tentatively joked, "Why, my dear, are you dissatisfied with Yan Ting's appetite and want to send him to eat military rations?"
Jiang Kang'an let him look at him, his expression unchanged when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you are joking. Let alone Minister He, even if the entire General's Mansion came to eat for free, the Xu Mansion can still afford it."
"The reason I recommend Minister He is because he is the most suitable candidate."
Jiang Kang'an's eyes were so calm that the emperor couldn't help but look away and touched his nose awkwardly.
Regardless of whether Jiang Kangan has selfish motives or not, overall, He Yanting is indeed the best choice.
The battle against the Oirat Mongols was complex and eventful.
Xiao Siyuan is dead, Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji are ambitious, and he will definitely not hand this matter over to them. Xiao Mingye has to return to Youzhou, and Jiang Wenjing has to prepare for the Nan Gu campaign.
Apart from Jiang Kangan, the only other person who can be used is He Yanting.
What's more, if Yan Ting had made military achievements, when he was restored to the position of crown prince in the future, these military achievements could help to settle the disputes among the court officials.
It is true that he had made many military achievements in the past, but that was all in the past.
The emperor was not worried about the newly promoted ministers. He was mainly worried about the remaining old-fashioned ones.
If Yan Ting's identity were to be made public, the entire imperial study would probably be filled with their memorials.
The emperor laughed out loud at his own imagination and sighed softly, "That's true. I will discuss this matter with Yan Ting before making a decision."
Although the emperor said so, it should be decided if nothing unexpected happens.
The smile in Jiang Kangan's eyes deepened.
Xiao Lingyu just stood aside, imitating the emperor's behavior that he had seen when he came, gazing at the goldfish jumping in the lake, without saying a word.
…
"Going to Mobei?"
In the general's mansion, Su Bai looked at He Yanting in surprise.
"Although I don't know what the palace means, I suspect it will be soon," He Yanting sipped his tea. "The border has been without a commander for too long, and with Prince Yu's incident, nearly half of the court officials were executed. The situation is so turbulent, the Oirat will naturally seize the opportunity."
"But how do you know the emperor will definitely send you?"
"He has no one else to use, so apart from me, he can only send Jiang Kangan." He Yanting narrowed his eyes slightly: "But in his heart, I am the most suitable person to send."
As if to confirm his words, just as He Yanting finished speaking, someone hurried over and bowed to report: "Master, someone from the palace has come to say that the emperor wants to discuss something with you."
He Yanting nodded.
Su Bai raised an eyebrow at him: "You really got it right. So what do you think, are you going or not?"
He Yanting smiled faintly and said nothing.
…
"The Imperial Prison is completely guarded inside and outside, so it's impossible to get in."
In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Song Shiwei frowned as he listened to his subordinates' words, feeling very annoyed.
"Is there no other way to see His Highness?"
The subordinate paused and said hesitantly: "It's not that there is no way..."
He faced Song Shiwei's gaze and said carefully, "You can't do it secretly, but you can do it openly. You are His Highness's concubine, so it's reasonable for you to visit."
Although the ceremony of becoming a concubine has not been completed, she is already one in name.
Because of the word "concubine", Song Shiwei's eyes dimmed slightly.
After hearing what her subordinates said, she immediately began to prepare.
She packed a box with bedding, food, and toys to pass the time, prepared a carriage, and went to the imperial prison.
He was stopped at the gate of the imperial prison.
“People can come in, but things can’t.”
Song Shiwei was naturally unwilling, but even after he announced the name of the Sixth Prince, the guard still said the same thing.
She had no choice but to leave the box outside and go into the imperial prison alone.
Because of her experience in the Heavenly Prison, the coldness of the Imperial Prison was nothing to Song Shiwei. Her ears automatically filtered out the wails of the prisoners being tortured.
His eyes looked around, searching for Xiao Yanli.
The jailer who led her all the way to the depths said: "It's right ahead, go there by yourself. There is only a quarter of an hour, count the time yourself."
Song Shiwei nodded slightly and ran inside. As he ran, he saw a familiar figure.
Song Shiwei stopped.
She stared at the figure waving at her with bloodshot eyes, with only one thought in her mind:
Why is it her again!
Why is this person haunting me?
"Are you here to see your Sixth Prince? He's right here!"
Jiang Zhiyu smiled.
[It's fun again.]
Although she didn't know what she was thinking, Song Shiwei felt a chill on her back when she saw her smile. She resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and moved step by step to the door of Xiao Yanli's cell.
Xiao Yanli also saw Song Shiwei. His pupils trembled slightly and he walked over from the bed. Song Shiwei's hand was holding the railing, and Xiao Yanli's hand was holding her hand. The two looked at each other affectionately.
【There should be background music here. 】
"Iron door, iron window, iron chain, Weiwei is outside the door, watching Lili~"
Song Shiwei: "..."
Xiao Yanli: "..."
No one can continue to be moved by this magical song.
Xiao Yanli and Song Shiwei both took a breath and calmed down. Xiao Yanli looked at Song Shiwei who came empty-handed, and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, then disappeared in an instant.
Song Shiwei didn't notice.
But Jiang Zhiyu noticed it.
Looking at the two people looking at each other with affection again, Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly: "Put away your love, I'm tired of fighting fakes."
Xiao Yanli: “!!!”
Song Shiwei: “!!!”
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of both of them. They both thought that Jiang Zhiyu was talking about them and quickly looked away.
Jiang Zhiyu was amused: "I've seen a lot of fake love, but this kind of fake love is the first time I've seen it. I've learned a lot."
Although I didn't understand what she said, I knew it wasn't a good thing.
Song Shiwei took a deep breath and tried to block Jiang Zhiyu out: "Your Highness, you have suffered. I have prepared a lot of things, but they refused to let me bring them in."
Xiao Yanli was stunned.
He thought Song Shiwei hadn't prepared anything, so he ran over empty-handed, but it turned out that she had prepared something.
But that shouldn't be the case. He just saw the jailers bringing things in. As long as they took care of it, they shouldn't be refused any leniency.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yanli couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhiyu.
Could it be her?
"I refuse to take the blame," Jiang Zhiyu knew what he meant at a glance: "I didn't know she would come to see you today."
【However, it turns out that this can also be used for prison visits. 】
Xiao Yanli withdrew his gaze.
If it’s not Jiang Zhiyu, then why can’t he be brought in?
There is no reason for them to offend the prince.
Song Shiwei also frowned slightly in confusion, but suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head and she suddenly realized.
Didn’t that person really want to stop her, he just wanted to ask for some money?
