Chapter 82
"You mean, Chen Heqing called Wang Zhandang a dead ghost, Madam Wang felt resentful, so she switched to my future brother-in-law's family?"

Duan Xian gave a heavy "Yes", she stretched out her hand and closed the cloak for Duan Yi.

"That's right. There is only one son in the Wang family. A military commander with a wound on his face is a meritorious service. A civil official who is disqualified is a hindrance to his career. No matter how hard Wang Zhan studies hard, he will not have a place in the court in the future." gone."

"Killing is nothing more than a nod. The fifth prince's move is more difficult to solve than killing people. Of course, this change of family and family is not just a matter of lip service, and there is a game in it."

"Otherwise, even if Wang Zhan is like this, he wouldn't be able to marry a concubine girl like Sister Jing. The fifth prince is useless. Wang Shilang has been squatting in this position for five years. Why can he finally move up this time?" Moved?"

Duan Xian finished half of her words, but Duan Yi understood what she meant.

Jincheng is quite far away from the capital, and it is the pigeons that pass on the letters, so it will take several days for the news to come and go.

It has only been a long time since the two princes of Guan Yuan were assassinated, and Duan Xian already knows today that the original minister of the Ministry of War is going to retire and return to his hometown, and Wang Zhan's father, Wang Shilang, is going to go one step further.

In all likelihood, it was the Duan family or the third prince who pushed forward.

Duan Yi stretched out her hand and roasted it on the brazier.

It's almost winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Although they wore cloaks, they just came out of the warm blankets. They only wore their middle clothes, which was a little bad. I'm afraid Duan Xian will get married tomorrow with a runny nose.

"Even if we exchanged our father's face for Wang Zhan, he wouldn't be able to pass the exam. If he cut off his official career or something, he said that he was going to be the number one scholar and be named a marquis. This kind of wind blows the grass on both sides of the wall. , big sister is careful to lose his wife and lose his army."

The fifth prince used someone to block the sword, and Wang Zhan intended to push her into the water and ruin the little girl. This kind of rags could actually be able to call the wind and rain in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and became the favorite of the concubines.

This rotten Da Zhou is really hopeless.

Duan Yi thought and smiled mockingly.

Duan Xian was startled for a moment, then smiled again, "With grandfather around, judging by people like this, it's not up to us juniors to make the decisions."

"Third sister", Duan Xian's expression became more and more sincere, "It's not because I'm going to be the third prince's concubine, that's why I praise one and demote one. The fifth prince's intentions are not right, and now even the few royal families that support him have turned their backs."

"This will be a one-sided battle. Grandpa won't lose easily, but this time he is unequivocally on the side of the Third Highness. Isn't the imperial decree of my wedding the best proof that His Majesty loves the Third Highness?"

"That's right, I'm the lobbyist today, and I want my sister to be a middleman. If Mr. Gu can support His Highness today, Jiannan will definitely get all kinds of rewards in the future."

Duan Yi listened, and asked calmly, "It sounds like the eldest sister gave us Jiannan's favor and let me take a ride on a smooth sailing! But since the third prince's succession to the Datong is already a certainty What's the use of Jiannan?"

"The icing on the cake is a good thing. The fire spurts fuel... Big sister has good hair. I am afraid that the fire will be too big and burn the hair."

Duan Xian pursed her lips and thought for a long time before making up her mind.

She lowered her voice, moved her chair, and sat closer to Duan Yi.

"Some things, my sister is not among them, so I don't know. I shouldn't have said these things to you, but I have said it before, there is no Duan Duan, and there is no Third Prince Concubine tonight."

"Only Duan Yi, your big sister. Do you know why your grandfather came to Jiannan, and why Master Chu died suddenly?"

Duan Yi looked at Duan Xian in surprise, "Grandpa returned home, where did he come from if he didn't come to Jiannan? Could it be that this is not Wang County, and he wanted to learn from some predecessors, change his ancestral genealogy, and get a big surname?" ?”

"It's a pity that among the five surnames and seven surnames, there is no one with the surname Duan. After thinking about it, the only one who has adopted the grandmother's surname is Lu, which doesn't seem so brazen."

Duan Xian couldn't believe her ears, she didn't recover all of a sudden, she choked on her own saliva, and coughed violently.

Just after coughing a few times, she heard noises coming from the dormitory, she quickly covered her mouth, and ran to the side when she was fine inside, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it down.

Her face was flushed red, and she almost didn't hold back her internal injuries.

Duan Xian stared at Duan Yi for a long time. She knew that Duan Yi was ridiculous, but she didn't expect that her mind could no longer use the word "absurd" to describe it.
Duan Yi raised Erlang's legs and concentrated on roasting her feet.

"I've said it several times. If you have anything to do, big sister, you might as well just say it straight. I have to know what the Gu family will pay and what benefits they will get before I can be the mouthpiece, right?"

As she spoke, her eyes moved, and she looked at Duan Xian with a sharp expression. The fire light reflected in her eyes, as if she suddenly gained momentum and became fierce.

"It can't be that His Majesty made this Jiannan Dao a test question for the crown prince. The third Highness opened his mouth and asked my grandfather to disarm and return to the field, and then stretched his arms in the air to draw a hundred or ten big pancakes, such as waiting for His Highness to ascend the throne. The eighth generation of Sun will be the prince."

"Another example is to directly appoint Gu Congrong as the husband-in-law, and let Gu Mingrui be the number one scholar... Tsk tsk, once you say this, all the dogs on the side of the road will be amazed! It will be written in the history books, and future generations will curse it, unofficial history nonsense!"

Duan Xian's mouth opened, and his face was instantly livid.

She felt that Duan Yi was like a storyteller in a teahouse, laughing all over the room, but every laugh was like a needle, piercing her heart straight.

The most exasperating thing is that she took the lead in saying the beautiful words that the five counselors thought up together, all of which were hit.

No matter how good the situation is for the Third Highness, he has not yet ascended the throne, and he is not even the heir apparent.

What else do they do besides painting cakes?
She even wanted to grab Duan Yi's shoulder, shake her head, and question her, "Did you never bet? Don't you know how to die for your confidant... don't you have dreams?"

But she can't, she is Duan Xian, a person who has never lost her composure or been inelegant in her whole life.

"Third sister was joking," Duan Xian said after a while.

Duan Yi smiled, her hands were scalding hot, listening to Duan Xian's words made her feel sleepy.

From the day when Gu Xuzhao was killed and Gu Mingrui became stupid, unless it was defeated by force, this Jiannan was surnamed Gu, and no one could take it away.Gu Congrong didn't want to seek rebellion, but he would never give up his military power and let others slaughter him as they wished.

The battle at Budaikou showed that His Majesty's cutting down the feudal clan was imperative, and Jiannan must be the one to do it.

The exam questions for the two princes are nothing more than getting the Heshan Seal and taking back Jiannan Road.

No matter which one, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.

If the third prince really wanted to reconcile, why would he send someone to Budaikou to assassinate the young and old of the Gu family?Who is this fooling?

Thinking about it, Duan Yi cupped her hands in the direction of the capital, and said with a smile, "Grandfather is loyal to the Son of Heaven and will not get involved in this battle for heir apparent. The four words of peace in this world are engraved in the blood of us Jiannan people." .”

"Just like me, martial arts or something is just for physical fitness. Even if we kill chickens, we only kill enemy chickens. We can't kill 1 chickens in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
