Dajin royal family

Chapter 164 The Father and Son Conversation
After leaving the imperial city, the father and son did not take the carriage, but the two who had not seen each other for a long time rode towards Fufengfang on horseback.

"Do you have doubts in your heart?" Zhao Wang pulled the rein, looked ahead, and asked his son beside him softly.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded lightly, "It's really puzzling. Yang Xiang is extremely human and can't be sealed. It's understandable to refuse the first contribution, but why did the woman refuse and mention the Chuluo peace talks."

He can basically understand Yang Taisu's affairs. After all, Yang Taisu is already the right minister, the Duke of the founding state, and he is already at the peak of the bureaucratic system of the Jin Dynasty. There are only two or three people in the court who can hold the same position as him.The title is already the title of Duke of the country, and the title can only be the county king or prince.But Yang Taisu is not a clan, so it is impossible to be crowned king.

Compared with Yang Taisu, Changsun Sheng is undoubtedly much worse in all aspects, so why does he have to decline again and again, and even mention the peace talks.That kind of thing is a crime of deceiving the emperor when it is big, and it is not a small stain if it is small.

King Zhao gave his son a weird look. The boy seemed to have misunderstood the question. What he asked was not about Changsun Sheng and Yang Taisu.But I didn't expect this kid to know why Yang Taisu refused the first contribution, which is not bad.

"Let me tell you a story for my father." Zhao Wang pondered: "Once upon a time there was a village that was often plundered by wolves. The flocks are gradually being wiped out, and the swords in the hands of the farmers are useless, so what do you think those swords should be used for at this time?"

Didn't you tell the story well, why did you ask back.

Jiang Chengxiao thought for a while and said, "Since it's useless, it's natural to hide it."

He remembered the emperor's award to Changsun Sheng, and immediately understood what King Zhao meant, and slowly uttered four words: "Forge a sword into a plow."

Is casting a sword into a plow? Haha, not a bad saying.

"Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too prominent." King Zhao sighed.

What happened in the Guangming Palace today was quite beyond his expectation. He didn't expect Changsun Sheng to present such "evidence" to deny the first meritorious service.

"Father also helped the woman." Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile after he figured things out.

Zhao Wang laughed, no matter what, they are also in-laws, and of course they will help if they can.What's more, he understood why Changsun Sheng did that, it was just to protect himself.

"Your performance today was beyond my father's expectations. I thought you couldn't refuse these fame and fortune." Zhao Wang said happily.

Fame and fortune don't count, he knows the truth that fame is hidden in his heart.Now he is too popular, and if he is too famous, he will become the target of others, especially in Chang'an.It's not that he doesn't care about the first achievement, but he understands that there are too many black hands in Chang'an, and if he is not careful, he may be pushed to the forefront.Low-key development is the kingly way. As long as you can comprehend the essence of the word "gou", you may not be able to stand up.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "What do you think my father thinks about my request for a reward?"

Speaking of this, King Zhao sighed, "You still can't forget the girl from Yuchi's family, but since His Majesty has already agreed, then of course he won't say anything as a father. But you have to remember that even if you get married in the future, you can't marry Shunguo." The government is too close."

"Because of Duke Shun's relationship?"

"A part." Zhao Wang said: "Last year, the twelve guards were reorganized, and more than half of the generals of the guards were the former soldiers of the father. Although His Majesty trusts the father now, who knows what will happen in the future."

Jiang Chengxiao was silent, his heart was unpredictable, he faced the emperor's repeated inquiries in the Guangming Palace, and only made one request.Ask the emperor to marry him, let Yuchi Chifan marry him as a flat wife.

Yes, he didn't ask for fame, let alone profit, he just asked the emperor for an imperial decree to bestow marriage.Originally, he planned to plan slowly over a period of time, but because of the emperor's relationship, he advanced the plan.Fortunately, the emperor readily agreed after teasing him. The general uninformed ministers only thought that Prince Zhao was a voluptuous person, but who would know that he was walking on thin ice.

After all, the emperor doesn't like courtiers who demand too much and have complicated thoughts.

"Your Majesty left General He Ruofan in Yulin County because of his father's relationship." He suddenly remembered the miserable He Ruofan, who had made great contributions, but was arrested for leading the army to leave Bingzhou without authorization. The emperor sent him to Yulin Pass.

"He's a fool."

Mentioning He Ruojun, Zhao Wang snorted unhappily.When the three armies went out, he told him in private that he must never leave Bingzhou without the imperial edict and troop dispatching order.

As a result, the idiot not only left, but almost took his son's life away.Coupled with the emperor's factors, he followed suit and left He Ruojuan in Yulinguan to eat sand.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Actually, the general kept me in Bingzhou at the beginning, and it was also because of my protection. After all, the general only has 15 reinforcements in his hands. If it is used to fight against the [-] Turkic army, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."

After thinking about it, Jiang Chengxiao still said some good things for He Ruofan, after all, that person also gave him a chance to actually fight, and he didn't intend to harm him.

Hearing this, King Zhao pulled the reins to stop the horse.Seeing this, Jiang Chengxiao naturally stopped his horse, and the servants behind him stopped one after another.A group of people just reached the corner of Fufengfang, and there were no pedestrians.The willow trees on both sides hang down their branches and sway wantonly in the breeze.

Zhao Wang looked at Jiang Chengxiao and said very seriously: "Remember, no matter how capable the general under him is in marching and fighting, no matter how much merit he has made, if he does not obey the general's order, he is not worthy of being a general."

"If He Ruoyu hadn't led the army to support Yan'an County without authorization this time, how could Bingzhou have encountered such a huge crisis. He may think that he did the right thing, but because of his unauthorized actions, it led to a strategic change in the overall direction. If it wasn't for Yang Taisu's timely support, not only would we not be able to take down Chuluo this time, we would not even be able to take down Yishaxie."

"Do you understand what you said for your father?"

At the first temple calculation of the Turkic invasion, he thought that the two groups of Turkic soldiers who went south from Bingzhou and Yulin County would not be the first batch, and his guess was indeed proved later.Originally, as long as He Ruofan took back Dali City and guarded it there, the imperial court could deploy troops without haste.

However, because of his unauthorized actions, it almost led to an irreversible situation.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "Father wants to say that soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty."

"Hehe, the elegant words are right, that's what it means to be a father." Zhao Wang was very pleased with his son's understanding, this kid can always tell the core truth every time.

King Zhao lightly clamped the horse's belly, and a group of people rushed towards the palace again.

Jiang Chengxiao thought of something, and said: "When His Majesty asked me for the third time, my son actually got a nod from his grandfather. Now that I think about it, I still don't quite understand what my grandfather meant at that time?"

"Oh?"

Zhao Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you think Zheng Gong means?"

"Should you want to tell me that you can't refuse His Majesty?" Jiang Chengxiao tentatively asked.

Zhao Wang chuckled, and then said: "Qingque, remember, no matter how well Zheng Gong treats you, he always has his own purpose. His surname is Zheng, and what he wants to seek must be the interests of the Zheng family. You Can you understand?"

"Is there anything in me that my grandfather values?" Jiang Chengxiao was puzzled, and then remembered the official title given to him by the emperor, and couldn't help saying: "Did my grandfather know from the beginning that I would be named the governor of the six counties of Shandong by His Majesty? But, My son is puzzled, what does this have to do with the interests of the Zheng family?"

Zhao Wangdao: "Hehe, you and my father and son will discuss this matter in detail tomorrow. When we get home, let's meet your mother first. A few days ago, you were in deep danger and she was seriously ill. These days, she is gradually recovering."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, although he was puzzled, but the time is still long, so there is no rush.

When everyone arrived at the palace, the servants quickly opened the side door and welcomed the father and son in.There is no need for the servants to report, the princess Zheng who got the news in advance brought a whole family of people to wait in the mansion. Seeing Jiang Chengxiao dismounted, Zheng's eyes turned red, and she stepped forward and touched his head, cursing distressedly: " You child wants to piss off Wei Niang, do you want to piss off Wei Niang?"

"Aniang, I'm fine." Jiang Chengxiao took her hand and smiled in relief.

Zheng's eyes were filled with mist, and he knocked on his head angrily, "Bastard, sooner or later, my mother will be mad at you to death."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled and said good things, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Changsun Qingyi standing in the crowd wiping his tears, Xiaoer was by her side, and Le Ping came up to hug him with his lips pouted.
