Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101, Family Talk

In Jiangfu's study room, Jiang Kong held a book angrily. He read this page for half an hour without reading a single word.

"Father?" Jiang Wangsheng gently pushed the door open and looked around.

Jiang Kongliu glanced at him, sighed, put down the book, and said, "Come and sit."

After Jiang Wangsheng took his seat, Jiang Kongliu put a few letters on the table, and said helplessly, "These are all evidences of your elder brother's alliance with the second prince."

While flipping through the letter, Jiang Wangsheng replied: "This is not a big deal, just cover it up and it will pass."

"There is no big or small thing, only right or wrong. Since the Prime Minister returned to the court, our power can be said to be at the height of the sky. In addition to the veterans in the court, the county guards are also our people."

Jiang Wangsheng fell silent when he heard this.

Jiang Kongliu continued: "During this period of time, His Majesty's energies are not only focused on hostile wars, but also on us. At this time, we must be cautious and cautious. I didn't expect it to happen in late autumn."

"The connection with the second prince is not particularly deep, and there is still time to withdraw. Besides, we are in full swing now, and the second prince dare not meet us head-on, but if it is..." Jiang Wangsheng choked.

Jiang Kongliu nodded in agreement: "This is the case now, but what if you go to Southern Tang? The old prime minister and you are not here, and Jiao Daqian's chief assistant will launch a fierce attack on us."

"It's the same in the imperial court, and it's also the same in Jianghu. His Majesty's martial arts hall has recruited two ninth ranks in the heaven list, one is an old farmer in coir raincoat, and the other is the second existence in the heaven list."

Jiang Wangsheng raised his head suddenly, "Jianzong?"

"good."

"No. [-] on the dignified list, did you get recruited just like that?" Jiang Wangsheng wondered, "Did the old emperor make him the crown prince?"

Jiang Kong gave him a blank look, "It is said that His Majesty promised that he would have a sword questioning with the old sword armor without harming his life."

Jiang Wangsheng murmured: "That is indeed a big temptation for him."

Jiang Kongliu hissed and asked, "Didn't you learn about Wu Tang and the cabinet through your channel?"

"I..." Jiang Wangsheng scratched his cheek, and said with a smile, "What channel can I have? It's nothing more than having more friends. Isn't there you in the court?"

Jiang Kongliu looked uncertain, and said, "Where is Wanqiu now?"

"Still in the room, my aunt is trying to persuade him."

Jiang Kongliu said helplessly: "Another day, find an opportunity to talk to him alone, and let him know the consequences of participating in the DPRK-China party struggle without authorization!"

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Jiang Kongliu's staff member - Wu Qi suddenly walked over from behind the screen in the study.

Jiang Kongliu looked at him.

Wu Qisai handed Jiang Kongliu a note, Jiang Kongliu glanced at it and said, "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday"

Jiang Kongliu raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and said, "Sheng'er, go down first."

"Yes."

Chaotian Palace, inside the elegant room.

Jiang Wangsheng served nine dishes with meat and vegetables, and asked someone to prepare a jar of wine, spirits!
Jiang Wangsheng poured wine for Jiang Kongliu, and said, "Brother, you and I haven't drank together for a long time."

"Yeah, Wang Sheng, your martial arts skills are world-class, and you have a good personality and mind. You have been busy since you came to Tianwang City." Jiang Wanqiu drank the wine in one gulp.

Jiang Wangsheng hurried to pour wine for him.

Jiang Wanqiu said: "Wang Sheng, tell me, is it really wrong for me to contact His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

Jiang Wangsheng was silent for a long time, and replied: "The second prince is definitely not a kind person."

"But I will see His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Jiang Wanqiu looked around.

Jiang Wangsheng reminded: "Brother, don't worry, I have dismissed all the people around here. Only you and I know about the conversation here."

Jiang Wanqiu was well aware of Jiang Wangsheng's power, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping here, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I think His Highness the Second Prince has the appearance of an emperor, so..."

Jiang Wangsheng continued: "So big brother, you want to assist the second prince to ascend the throne, so that the Jiang family and the families closely related to us can reach a new level in the future?"

Jiang Wanqiu took the lead heavily, "That's right. But father... just doesn't understand me."

Jiang Wangsheng sincerely: "Brother, just because someone has the appearance of an emperor doesn't mean he can be an emperor."

Jiang Wanqiu looked up at him.

Jiang Wangsheng explained: "Throughout the ages, have there been few people who won the title of emperor by virtue of powerful force?"

"That's why I want to assist him, let him, who looks like a king, really set foot on that place." Jiang Wanqiu murmured.

Immediately, Jiang Wanqiu laughed at herself, "Perhaps I am overthinking myself. I don't have the power and thought of my father, nor your superb martial arts. What can I do? My current status is all because of my father."

"But, I just don't want to be so mediocre." Jiang Wanqiu tapped the table lightly, and said, "I don't want others to say that I have relied on my father until now, but..."

All words turned into a heavy sigh.

Jiang Wangsheng said: "Brother, look at the history books, which time the battle for the throne didn't go through the sea of ​​blood? The change of government, one wrong step will lead to the abyss. Just imagine, even the old fritters like father and the others are talking about the crown prince. , let alone us?"

Jiang Wangsheng took Jiang Wanqiu's wine glass, filled it with wine, pushed it over, and said, "What we have to do now is to ensure that we have a way out, so that we won't end up in the city of extermination."

Jiang Wanqiu stared at the wine glass in a daze.

Jiang Wangsheng said: "With my younger brother, I can certainly keep the Jiang family safe, but what about my sister-in-law Song's family? What about Uncle Huang's family? Our relatives and friends can't take care of everything at all."

"The road ahead will never be paved with flowers, but to ensure the safety of the people I care about, even if I step on thorns, I don't feel sad." Jiang Wangsheng persuaded.

Jiang Wanqiu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Jiang Wangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, it's also my fault. It's my fault that I killed the Duke with a sword on the spur of the moment, and rushed to the imperial city to threaten the old man of the emperor."

"How can this be your fault? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Since legitimate means can't work, the only way to do it is to use force." Jiang Wanqiu said, "You're right. you together."

Jiang Wangsheng said: "From then on, our family will always appear in front of the emperor's dragon case, and there will be times when I will be too exhausted to take care of it."

Jiang Wanqiu murmured: "I am afraid that my palace companion is for His Majesty to find hostages?"

At this moment, he woke up with a start and regretted: "I was really stupid in handling cases in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I only figured out such a simple truth now."

Jiang Wangsheng pretended to be surprised, "It turned out to be like this, the old emperor put you next to the second prince, probably because of"

"It's to take my life at any time, and only he can do it without hesitation!" Jiang Wanqiu said.

Anger arose in Jiang Wanqiu's eyes, and she said word by word: "Old thief, you have bullied me too much!"
