Chapter 146 New Fat Sheep
"The northwest is a whirlpool. Others who go there can advance or retreat." Emperor Jiajing did not expect Jiang Qingzhi to volunteer and thought that this guy was still drunk.
"You are my cousin. Once those evil people in the White Lotus Sect learn of your identity, they will go crazy. Qingzhi, you..."
Emperor Jiajing even wanted someone to prepare some hangover soup.
"Your Majesty, no matter how difficult things are, someone has to do it. The Marquis of Nancheng only reports good news but not bad news, which shows that he is quite afraid of those lunatics. Wouldn't someone else be afraid if it were him?"
Jiang Qingzhi's eyebrows were full of determination, "I have nothing to do recently, and I am willing to share your majesty's worries."
Emperor Jiajing looked at him and sighed for a long time, "Okay."
Having got the opportunity, Jiang Qingzhi immediately resigned.
Watching him go away, Emperor Jiajing sighed, "The Crown Prince provoked me yesterday, but Qingzhi did not complain and volunteered to go to the northwest to avoid the Crown Prince and avoid putting me in a difficult position."
……
"Your Highness, remember, there is no need to feel wronged, and you must not accuse the two princes of being rude. After all, Your Majesty values affection." Qin Li accompanied the prince to meet Emperor Jiajing.
"I know." The prince walked to the bottom of the stairs and nodded slightly.
"All you have to do is say that you wanted to get close to Long Wilbur, but were politely rejected."
The prince walked up the steps.
salute.
"I have met my father."
"You came."
Emperor Jiajing looked calm.
"Yes." The prince said according to the response method he had discussed with Qin Li: "Yesterday I met my cousin and wanted to ask for his advice, but for some reason, my cousin seemed a little... indifferent."
You are the crown prince. Unless Emperor Jiajing is dissatisfied, no one in this world can surpass you.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing would inevitably make a statement, either to appease His Highness or to reprimand Jiang Qingzhi.
No matter which one it is, it will be of great help to Your Highness in suppressing those three people.
Qin Li's words echoed in his mind.
The voice of Emperor Jiajing came suddenly.
"Are you going to deal with the idiots around you yourself, or do you want me to do it?"
……
Qin Li was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, talking in a low voice with his colleagues.
"The Yan Party is powerful, Your Highness must make a choice." Qin Li whispered his own judgment, "Being close to Jiang Qingzhi is just a gesture..."
"Yes, if he gets close to Jiang Qingzhi, Yan Song and others will definitely be wary of the prince. This will be disadvantageous."
"So, this time I planned to turn against Jiang Qingzhi." Qin Li chuckled, "I didn't expect Jiang Qingzhi to be completely unaware and fall into my trap. Now Yan Song and others will definitely regard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a potential ally..."
"Mr. Qin has a good method!" his colleagues couldn't help but praise.
"Secondly, Your Highness can win His Majesty's sympathy with this move and suppress the two princes. This is killing two birds with one stone!"
Qin Li said this calmly, but his ambitious mood was evident in his words.
If the prince can successfully ascend the throne, he will surely become the prime minister.
Just thinking about how it would feel to hold the power of the world, Qin Li felt hot all over.
The prince is back.
He walked slowly down the steps.
Qin Li walked forward with a smile.
The prince glanced at him.
He walked past him and walked away without saying a word.
……
Beijing.
"Nancheng Marquis Liao Jiang was assassinated by our people in the northwest, but he survived."
"Pity."
"I don't know who the dog emperor will send next."
"The capital is a bunch of pigs and dogs. No matter who we send, they are no match for us."
"If we can thwart the dog emperor's plan this time, we can start an uprising in the northwest."
"Be careful when starting something."
"Yes."
The man stood up and respectfully took his leave.
After he left, a young girl walked out from behind the screen.
Her skin is so smooth that it can be blown away, her eyes are dark, her eyebrows are beautiful and her lips are red, her waist is so slender that it can be grasped, like a willow in the wind...
"northwest!"
"Who will the Dog Emperor send?"
……
Jiang Qingzhi was reading a book on military affairs in his study.
He remembered a passage in the military book about the White Lotus Sect.
"where?"
There was a huge box of military books, and Jiang Qingzhi needed to read them one by one. At this time, he wished he had an extra notebook so that he could search on Baidu directly.
"Uncle Ding, can you give me WiFi someday?" The big tripod in his mind slowly turned.
Jiang Qingzhi searched for a long time but couldn't find her, and then Xia Yan came.
"Forget it!" Jiang Qingzhi put away the military book, thinking about how to counter the opponent's moves in the northwest!
But he did think of one person, Tang Sai'er.
The White Lotus Sect has a saint who has great appeal. Who is this saint?
Jiang Qingzhi went to the front yard while thinking.
Xia Yanzheng asked someone to quickly bring some snacks. "Since I learned that you were going to the northwest, I went to look for a few old friends. One of them once joined the White Lotus Sect."
This was a pleasant surprise. Jiang Qingzhi ordered, "Bring me the good snacks I have collected."
This guy did it on purpose... Xia Yan pointed at Jiang Qingzhi, "The White Lotus Sect could not find opportunities in the south, so they went to the northwest. The poverty in the northwest, coupled with the many foreign threats, gave them the opportunity to spread their religion. Over the years, the White Lotus Sect has been constantly looking for opportunities to start an uprising, but has been repeatedly hit."
Xia Yan took a sip of tea and felt even hungrier. "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he spared no effort to wipe out the White Lotus Sect. Those evil people were helpless, and many of them fled to the grasslands and took refuge with Altan Khan and other ethnic groups... You must be careful on this trip, beware of the White Lotus Sect and those ethnic groups colluding..."
Jiang Qingzhi asked some more questions, and Xia Yan told him one by one. Finally, he said, "I heard that you were going. My old friend said that the northwest will definitely be bustling."
"Isn't he worried about his former fellow church members?" Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile.
"You should worry about yourself!" Xia Yan said unhappily, "Those are all crazy people. If you accidentally run into them on the street, they will stab you in the kidneys..."
Jiang Qing subconsciously covered his lower back.
"Let's get a piece of iron plate!" the old man said with a smile.
After seeing Xia Yan off, Jiang Qingzhi summarized the information about the White Lotus Sect.
"Master, there is a woman who claims to be from the Mu clan in Yunnan who wants to see you."
Jiang Qingzhi, who was sorting out the information, was startled. "Could it be that person?"
What is that woman doing here?
Jiang Qingzhi said, "Please ask her to come."
Mu Shu came and bowed dignifiedly, "Long live the Lord Wei."
"Miss Mu is polite."
When Jiang Qingzhi saw Mu Shu, he thought of Yunnan.
After Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he settled in Yunnan. The last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongli, was also strangled to death in Yunnan by Wu Sangui's subordinates with bowstrings...
And Myanmar.
Conquering Myanmar is of great strategic significance to the Ming Dynasty.
correct.
Jiang Qingzhi's eyes lit up.
Yunnan has always been the private territory of the Mu family, and the court’s influence in Yunnan is minimal.
If Yunnan were brought under the control of the central government.
How much can the country's life be increased?
Not less!
If things go wrong, there will be a huge amount!
Mu Shu suddenly realized that Jiang Qingzhi looked at her with a strange look.
It reminded her of the greedy look in the eyes of a hungry man when he saw a fat sheep during her travels that year.
I must have seen it wrong!
Mu Shu laughed at himself in his heart. He had been busy visiting old friends recently and was exhausted. He needed to have a good rest when he returned.
"Miss Mu, it seems you will be staying in the capital permanently?" Jiang Qingzhi asked kindly.
"Well! I've been a little... breathless these years." Mu Shu pointed at his throat. Jiang Qingzhi took a look and looked slightly downward, and found that it was actually quite large.
"asthma?"
"Yes, the doctor said it would be better for us to live in the north." Mu Shu said helplessly.
But Beijing is dry, so shouldn’t it be better for asthma patients in Yunnan?
This dignified beauty doesn't even blink when she lies!
Jiang Qingzhi did not expose her, "If you have nothing to do, come and sit down. Look at what I am saying..."
"Nothing, Lord Wei is so kind, I am very happy." Seeing the boy's sincerity, Mu Shu thought, it seems that this connection has been established, and was thinking of looking for an opportunity to interact with him, and only ask for help when the friendship is deep. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask, saving me a lot of trouble.
thank you!
This young lady, I'm afraid she wants to use me for something. However, if I get in touch with her, it will be easier to plot against Yunnan in the future... Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "It's good that you are happy. I am also happy when I see Miss Mu."
Sun Chonglou was muttering to Dou Jialan in the back, "Why do I feel like the young master is trying to trick someone?"
"Nonsense." Dou Jialan narrowed his eyes. "Besides, who do you think can cheat the uncle?"
Sun Chonglou thought about it and said, "It seems that there really isn't one."
Dou Jialan said softly: "But this young lady is of noble status and looks pretty good. If she becomes the wife of Lord Bo..."
Sun Chonglou curled his lips and said, "The young master said that he is still a teenager and he can't let anyone eat this tender grass."
"Pooh!" Dou Jialan blushed.
"Master, someone is coming from the palace."
Prince Yu and Prince Jing are here.
Mu Shu didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye.
After leaving the Bo's Mansion, Mu Shu closed his eyes in the carriage and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.
"Third Madam." Xiang Jin said distressedly, "Take a break!"
"I can't rest." Mu Shu said, "Mu Chaobi is gradually gaining control of power in Yunnan. If no one checks and balances him, he will sooner or later become a disaster for the Mu family."
"How is Long Wilbur?" Xiang Jin asked worriedly, "Is he cold and indifferent?"
"Very friendly." Mu Shu smiled.
But she still couldn't understand why Jiang Qingzhi looked at her like that.
"But he looked at me... like a fat sheep. Why is that?"
"Could it be that he covets the beauty of the Third Lady?"
"Absolutely not."
