Lord please forgive me

Chapter 227 Cousin
Jiang Zhaolin helped his drunken father into the carriage, then nodded goodbye to Feng Qi who was standing outside the gate of Jinhui Building, took the driver's seat, and drove away in the carriage.

After the carriage turned away from a few long streets, Jiang Zhaolin lowered his voice and asked:
"Father, although the envoy of Fengdian didn't make his words clear, the meaning behind his words is very clear. Mingjiao really has the heart to covet Shannan Road. Choice, my child would rather choose Mingjiao, but Shannan Road fell into the hands of Mingjiao, and if the court wants to take it back, I am afraid that it will be more difficult, and our Shannan territory will inevitably be destroyed."

In the carriage, Jiang Yuhong smiled all over his face. He was very satisfied with the delivery tonight. In his opinion, the focus is not on whether Mingjiao wants to occupy Shannan Road, but on the relationship between the Demon Emperor Yingzhen and Ning'er. Which step, and the answer from the Wind Palace Envoy reassured him.

"Lin'er is worrying too much. Mingjiao and Tianci Mansion occupy Shannan Road. For the court, there are two completely different choices. One can be discussed, and the other can't be discussed. In fact, what you said is exactly the opposite. If Shannan The Tao fell into the hands of Li Li, so the flames of war continued, and the common people were in dire straits. As early as in Lingnan, it was rumored that the Demon Emperor of Mingjiao had a close relationship with Princess Li Coco of Changle, and those of us in Chang'an also had The news came that the Mingjiao was gradually controlling Luoyang at this time, and the imperial court was completely acquiescing, and my father guessed that there might be a subtle connection between the imperial court and Mingjiao, but I can't see through what it is."

Jiang Zhaolin seems to still have some doubts about his father's views, but judging from the current situation, it seems that their Jiang Clan has no choice. Just because of the relationship between his sister and the Demon Emperor, the Jiang Clan is completely tied to Mingjiao. On a rope, the girl has a deep love for Yingzhen, how can he, as a brother, not know, but many times, he would rather she marry an ordinary person, and a life of peace and stability is enough.

"Father, from the words of the envoy of the Wind Palace, the Empress Jiang Qinghui seems to have acquiesced to Ning'er. If this is true, of course it would be best. If not, how should we Jiang Clan deal with ourselves?"

A voice in the carriage sighed:

"This is the only thing I'm worried about. It's a pity that this girl still hasn't come home. Otherwise, if I ask her face to face, we will feel at ease. By the way, I will send a message to all the children of Shannan Road to take over the military and political power in various places and fully cooperate. For every step of Mingjiao's actions, our top priority now is to deal with the southward movement after the defeat of Tianci Mansion."

Jiang Zhaolin nodded:
"The child understands, and must do his best to cooperate."

The carriage drifts away
That night, Gong Yeyue sat on the horseback and breathed out, she was in a bad mood, because she was restrained again, the senior brother asked me to accompany him to Langzhou in the west of Shannan Road,
The coachman Deng Jiu dozed off with his hands in his sleeves, his mouth was open, his body was staggering, and it seemed that he was about to fall off the carriage several times, but he just couldn't.

"Sleepy~~"

The more wild thoughts in Xiaomo Xiangong Yeyue's mind, the more her eyelids fought, her shoulders collapsed, and she sat limply on the horse's back.

"Come sleep in the car if you're sleepy," Yingzhen said softly in the car.

Xiao Moxian was suddenly clever, jumped onto the carriage with a smile, raised the curtain and got into the carriage, stuck out her tongue at her senior brother, then leaned against the carriage wall and fell asleep.

When the carriage left the official road and turned into a small road, due to the bumps in the carriage, Xiao Moxian's body shook violently, plunged his head into Yingzhen's arms and woke him up again.

"I'm an unlucky person. I just fell asleep for a long time, and then I woke up. I'm fine now. After squinting for a while, my mind is clear."

Gong Yeyue pouted bitterly, not knowing who she was blaming.

"Has the news spread out?" Yingzhen looked at her embarrassment and smiled.

Gong Yeyue nodded obediently:

"It has been reported that senior brother asked Song Linghui to take [-] fine riders to Langzhou. Do you think that Kong Yuan might want to use this place as a breakthrough point to enter Shannan Road?"

Yingzhen smiled and said:

"Who do you favor in this battle in Chang'an?"

Gong Yeyue smiled into a crescent moon with her delicate eyes, and said:
"Brother, do you think I don't understand these things? Yue'er has traveled all over the world, but he has made a good friend. He is full of knowledge, and his analysis of the current situation is extremely accurate. He even counted the right time for Li Li's rebellion."

"Oh?"

Yingzhen was also aroused by her words, and said with a smile:
"How did he calculate it?"

Gong Yeyue seemed to become interested when she mentioned this person, and the tiredness on her face disappeared immediately.

"I happened to be with him at that time. In his spare time, he always liked to analyze the current situation with me. He once said that the new Emperor Tuoba of Great Xia is indeed the strongest Xia Dynasty in a hundred years. The emperor, who is also the luckiest one, said he was lucky because the successive three emperors worked hard to build a solid foundation for him, and this person is even more talented, not only scheming and tough, but also bold, Bei Xia Those super big families have fought for hundreds of years, and now in his hands, they are able to maintain harmony, even if it is only superficial, this is quite remarkable.

And as long as Northern Xia is strong and prosperous, it will definitely go south to plunder my Great Zhou. The great unified empire formed by the Great Zhou and the Great Xia, and the reason why Li Li rebelled hastily was because he saw that the Northern Xia might send troops south within three to five years. The kings refused to accept the court's deployment, and the emperor could not gather the strength of the whole country to go north to defend, so the national war would be lost if it was not fought.

My friend also said that Li Li sent troops to Chang'an this time, in fact, with the intention of "losing but not losing". Loss, Li Li's real purpose is to bring down Qin Wang Li Heng and Chu Wang Li Xun, two vassal kings who only want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Dao and Jiannan Dao surrounded Chang'an. At that time, which of the three of them would be the emperor depended on who offered the highest price.
Of course, Li Heng and Kong Yuan also saw that the other party wanted to drag them into the water. The key is that they have to go through this muddy water. If they just watch the Tianci Mansion being cleaned up by the court, it will be their turn next. two
how about brother?Is my friend's analysis very reasonable? "

Yingzhen nodded and said:
"Yes, he is quite accurate. What's the name of your friend?"

When Gong Yeyue heard her brother's recognition of her friend, she said proudly:
"He doesn't have much fame. He's just an ordinary rich man. His name is Sui Mingtang."

Yingzhen was taken aback for a moment, showing an intriguing smile,
"So it was him,"

Xiao Moxian said in surprise:

"No way? Brother knows him?"

Yingzhen smiled and said:

"He's my cousin."

Gong Yeyue was dumbfounded.
