The two brothers were silent for a moment.
The emperor is not human!
Shen'er, such a young child, was forced to separate from his father and mother.
"Shen'er, you will become the top scholar in the imperial examination in the future." Jiang Shen clenched his little fist and bumped it with his two uncles.
"Shen'er, do you want to be the top scholar in the civil service or the top scholar in the military?" General Jiang laughed heartily and strode over.
"Father!"
"Father!"
Both sons got up at the same time.
"You two rascals, you don't even call your father when you have wine to drink." Jiang Zhongyong picked up his son's wine and drank a bowl of it heartily.
"Father, please sit down."
The servant brought another set of bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Zhongyong looked at his two sons with satisfaction.
Regardless of how outsiders judge them, Jiang Zhongyong knows that his two sons are exceptional individuals.
The two were intelligent from a young age and knew they couldn't cause trouble for their father and older brother.
So the second son always had a spoiled and dissolute appearance, but in fact he practiced martial arts diligently in the dead of night when no one was around, and his muscular physique was the best proof of that.
The third son was also a top scholar, but he never showed off his talents.
Their common goal was to reassure the emperor in the palace, so that the general's mansion could remain peaceful.
Only when the elder brother and sister-in-law are fighting abroad can they have no worries about their families.
General Jiang looked at his two sons with satisfaction: "Go, both of you, go all out and fight hard. None of my sons are cowards."
Jiang He and Jiang Hai raised their glasses: "Father, your son will not let you down."
"Shen'er will not let his grandfather down either!" Jiang Shen also raised his small cup and clinked glasses with his grandfather.
The cup contains warmed goat milk.
"Good! Shen'er is also a good one." Jiang Zhongyong had tears in his eyes.
The grandson's name was given by General Jiang.
General Jiang was warning his family to be careful and cautious at all times, so as not to displease the emperor.
However, despite being cautious for so many years, the emperor did not let his guard down against the Jiang family.
The emperor was wary of the Jiang family, yet he couldn't do without them.
The Jianghuai region was a place that struck fear into the hearts of enemy states in the Northwest.
As long as Jianghuai was present, the war situation in the Northwest remained in Daqing's hands.
Throughout history, emperors have often been ruthless, and in order to consolidate their thrones, they have killed many loyal ministers.
General Jiang and the Emperor once shared a bond forged through bloody battles on horseback.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has begun to purge officials with military power.
Jiang Zhongyong was a renowned general, but the emperor did not hesitate to strip him of his military power.
Now the entire General's family is being held hostage in the capital, becoming hostages of Jianghuai.
Jiang Zhongyong had long since stopped following such a despicable emperor.
However, the people of Daqing still needed his son's protection.
General Jiang has kept his sharp edge hidden and acted like a coward for so many years.
Jiang Zhongyong believes he has done right by heaven and earth, but he feels he has let down his children.
The father kept drinking, one glass after another, and before they knew it, all three of them had drunk quite a bit. Jiang He stopped his father from pouring more wine.
Shen'er has already been carried back to the courtyard by the servants.
"The Jiang family has to make a choice." Jiang Zhongyong looked at his two sons.
Rivers and seas are not unexpected.
Although they didn't know much about their sister's dream, Jin Wang's actions today made everyone in the capital aware that he wanted to win over the General's Mansion.
Given the Emperor's suspicious nature, the palace will not be peaceful today.
"What is Father's idea?" They must choose a prince to take sides.
The only people who have any connection with the Jiang family now are Prince Yu and Prince Jin.
"Prince Yu!" Jiang Zhongyong said this name after careful consideration.
"I haven't told you much about Wei'er's dream. The Marquis of Pingyang's mansion is gone now, and the future of the General's mansion is also uncertain."
The Crown Prince is now frail, and the princes are all grown up; a bloody power struggle is inevitable within a few years. As long as your elder brother remains in the Northwest, the General's Mansion will thrive like a raging fire.
"As your father thinks, since we can't stay out of it no matter what, we might as well take the initiative and fight for a bright future for the General's Mansion." Jiang Zhongyong looked at his two sons solemnly.
He could bear living like this, but his son and daughter were also living incredibly miserable lives.
“We will listen to our father,” Jiang He and Jiang Hai said in unison.
"Good! He truly is my good son." Jiang Zhongyong was overjoyed.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Prince Yu will come to propose marriage tomorrow."
"What?" Jianghe and Jianghai asked at the same time.
This news is absolutely explosive.
"If it's because of what happened today, it's alright if my sister doesn't want to get married."
All they want is their sister's happiness; they don't care about their reputation.
"In my opinion, your sister will be willing," General Jiang said confidently.
Although his daughter didn't tell him whether the Prince of Yu would come, he guessed that since she had both sons at home, it meant she had something important to discuss.
The most important thing now is that Prince Yu had physical intimacy with his daughter in front of everyone.
Once the daughter marries Prince Yu, it will be tantamount to telling the emperor that the Jiang family has chosen Prince Yu.
The Emperor would not like to see any of his princes marry into the General's family.
Even though the General's Mansion kept backing down, the Emperor was still not at ease.
Then we should get involved; perhaps we can still fight for a future.
Jiang Zhongyong revealed everything about his daughter's connection with Prince Yu and the Prince Yu's actions in his dream.
The father and his two sons remained silent for a long time.
They all believed what they saw in the dream, which is why they collected evidence of Lu Yanke's smuggling of salt.
No wonder Jiang He was puzzled as to how his sister possessed evidence that he himself had been unable to collect.
Looking back now, I realize that my sister had long ago joined forces with the Prince of Yu.
Jiang He immediately replied, "As long as my sister is happy, I am willing to follow Prince Yu."
