The perfect brother-in-law reborn

Li Zhen's background is not to mention that his mother was the most favored imperial concubine back then, his uncle Shen Shi was a prestigious general in the court, the people, and the army, and the Shen family was also a powerful family that would tremble if they stomped their feet. The rebellion that broke out suddenly and ended strangely back then, maybe Li Zhen is now an unbreakable prince.

It's a pity that Concubine Shen was bestowed to death back then, Shen Shi's family was uprooted after Shen Shi's failed rebellion, Li Zhen also fell from heaven to hell, and the dignified prince was reduced to being taken in by the Chu family before he survived. , It's really touching.

Li Zhen had always been cautious before, never slacking off at all, living in a state of low self-esteem, depression and fear, fearing that one day he would be accused of a crime and given to death again. It was not until he was brought into the palace by the Queen Mother as an adult that his situation changed slightly.

However, 18 years of desolate experience inevitably made this prince a little bit at odds with other brothers and the palace. Apart from fear and cowardice, his psychology was always unavoidably distorted. Two years of hard planning and 20 years of dreams are only a short distance away from success. It was only a slight difference, but now it has fallen short, and the gap is so big that it makes Li Zhen rarely show his crazy and violent side.

Chu Nan rubbed his pinched palm expressionlessly, then suddenly smiled and sighed, shook his head and said, "You think too much..."

Li Zhen calmed down slowly, looked into Chu Nan's eyes with pursed lips, clenched his fists several times and then let go, and said, "I don't want the two of us to become enemies in the end, we will talk about marksmanship later, now I hope you can give me a promise, you'd better tell me in advance if you make any big moves in the future, I don't want to be caught off guard like today and become a joke..."

Chu Nan glanced at Li Zhen, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Is this an order or a warning?"

Li Zhen looked at Chu Nan calmly, and said slowly: "It's a good friend's advice, and it's also a suggestion..."

Chu Nan was a little surprised. He looked at Li Zhen up and down for a long time before he patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, "It's really different from before, but you also understand that I can't agree to such a thing. I don't like to give myself Plus restraint... Oh, and marksmanship, the complete marksmanship is in your hands, and you still accuse me of hiding... Ha ha, it's a bit funny..."

Li Zhen looked at Chu Nan's hand on his shoulder. Naturally, he didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he made it clear, "You shouldn't be my obstacle. I know something about your skills , as long as you are willing to help me, the two of us join forces, whether it is Yingzhou, Northwest or Southern Xinjiang, the great credit will be at your fingertips, and sooner or later you will be able to overwhelm my big brother, and then all those who despise me and bully me , all..."

His tone couldn't hide his eagerness, and he looked at Chu Nan with expectation and confidence. The more he experienced that kind of humble person, the more he had a morbid desire for power, and the royal genes were obviously aggravated. Li Zhen's condition.

Chu Nan frowned, a little disgusted in his heart, avoided Li Zhen's eager eyes, and sighed, "You should know, I don't like and won't get involved in these things..."

Li Zhen couldn't understand, and asked with a frown, "Why? Behind you are the Chu family and the Yang family, and now the emperor wants to use you again. You have contacts and influence outside Daliang. Why can't such resources help me? Just let it go to waste?"

As he said that, his eyes turned around the first prince Li Ling with outstanding military achievements, the gentle and jade-like prince Li Zhi, and the refined and elegant seventh prince Li Yi. After a moment of silence, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's right, even if you help, than There are plenty of better targets for me. What am I? I’m just the most inconspicuous, pitiful and weak character in the royal family... Hehe..."

Chu Nan shook his head and sighed, and said softly: "You have become extreme lately... Be your prince with peace of mind. Wouldn't it be nice to be a happy prince in the future? After finally jumping out, why did you have to go to that muddy water again? ………”

Seeing that Li Zhen looked a little impatient, he sighed and said, "Anyway, you can do it yourself...I won't get involved in the affairs of the royal family and court..."

Li Zhen smiled sarcastically, naturally he didn't believe what Chu Nan said.Don't want to get involved in why you worked so hard just now?Losing the few strong support that he could win over, he was disheartened and didn't want to talk to Chu Nanduo, so he turned and left.

Chu Nan wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say anything. He watched Li Zhen go further and further away, and finally disappeared into the crowd...... The arrogance of killing Jing Gong and others ruthlessly, he was in a good mood and did not chase after him. After all, it is impossible to convince the world so easily to serve Daliang as the master. As long as he expresses his attitude today, he can slowly plan in the future , it's best when things come to fruition.I didn't mention this matter anymore, and kept beating the bow with what happened just now.

Jing Gong was naturally a little bit aggrieved, but who would have thought that He Lanshan would lose so quickly and so simply, no matter what he said, he would not have the confidence, so he just couldn't hear the cynicism.

After this little episode, the banquet continued, and it was true that fighting against each other could raise some face, but it was hard to bring any real benefits.

For Yingzhou, Huren and Daliang, the Dashi Iron Cavalry is a common enemy. Even most of the small northwestern countries present may not hope that another powerful force will step in. Hu people with strong combat power are already a headache enough, if the big food is mixed in, the future life will definitely be even more difficult.

After the appetizers, the main meal was finally ushered in. Daliang had just raised his eyebrows and elated, but he was naturally very hard-nosed in speaking. Whether it was to directly meet the enemy or to fight first, he insisted that Daliang should be the main one, representing Daliang's old enemy, the Hu people. The startled bow was naturally unwilling, and he began to argue with Prince Heng and the others.

Chu Nan, who was still very shining just now, sat down silently and did not participate in it. At this time, the role of martial arts is negligible, and it is the moment when civil servants who are good at lip service make their debut.

Chu Kuang had been paying attention to the conversation between Li Zhen and Chu Nan just now, and seeing Chu Nan's strange sigh, he frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Shi Xiaobai, Dugu Chou, and Leng Yun were still discussing about martial arts, and when they heard Chu Kuang's words, they all stopped and looked at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan held up his wine glass and smiled at the three of them, waved his hands to indicate that it was okay, and explained with a light smile: "He used to be Xiao Jiu, and I beat and kicked whenever I wanted to, with no restraint in talking and laughing, but now he is a noble prince." Your Highness... I just feel a little unaccustomed to it..."

Shi Xiaobai and the others nodded understandingly. No one took Li Zhen seriously before, but the Queen Mother made the decision to take him back to the palace, and now he is brought by Emperor Liang to attend such an occasion. Who would dare to despise him again?

Chu Kuang could hear the helplessness in Chu Nan's words, and knew that things were by no means so simple, but now there are too many people talking, and it's hard to ask in detail, so he sighed and looked at Li Zhen from a distance.

Not far away, the silence of Helan Mountain and the quietness of Queen Jiang made Jing Gong feel like he was fighting alone, and he grew up on the rough ore prairie, so naturally he couldn't stand the sharp-mouthed Liang Wenchen, who was scolded several times Not knowing how to answer, Suo surnamed ignored the others, and sneered at Emperor Liang, "Could this be what Daliang calls a great country? It's pathetic and ridiculous that foreign enemies are still in such a hurry to persecute their neighbors."

Seeing that Jing Gong was finally irritated and lost his mind, Emperor Liang didn't care about Jing Gong's offensive words, Fu Xu chuckled and said, "Then what do you think?"

Jing Gong calmed down his emotions slowly, and said slowly: "Not to mention whether everyone's attitudes will be different when facing the Dashi, even if we here want to form an alliance and go out together, it's not It’s something that can be settled by playing around here.”

Emperor Liang sat up straight with great interest, nodded slightly and said, "Continue to talk..."

Jing Gong pursed his lips, turned around with a light smile and said to the many foreign envoys: "Even if we want to form an alliance to protect ourselves, we don't necessarily have to prioritize. Everyone is equal."

Emperor Liang's face was gloomy, and it was a big joke to let the dignified Liang go to be equal to the half-disabled Hu people, his own vassal states, and foreign states in the Western Regions. Daliang is not afraid, and he may not be weaker than Dashi, at least, self-protection is more than enough. If you want to fight against Dashi alone, there is nothing wrong..."

The envoys of various countries who are used to being sloppy are full of tangled faces. It is good to be able to sit on an equal footing with Daliang and not be exploited, but no one has the courage to deal with Dashi alone. As for falling to Dashi...it seems that Daliang will not give Such a choice, either fall to Daliang or die alone, betraying Daliang may end badly.

Jing Gong was very disdainful of the vacillating envoys from the small countries in the Western Regions, but he couldn't say anything clearly. He sighed and said: "Actually, it's not a bad idea to choose one party to be the leader, but also need to elect a person to coordinate all parties. , but this person must be trusted by everyone. If the selected person blindly preserves his own strength and sends everyone else to die in order to make a profit, everyone will still have to break up. Why waste your time here?"

Seeing the other envoys nodding their heads in agreement, Emperor Liang couldn't hold back any more, and said with a sneer, "How can I, Liang, do such a thing that makes the world laugh at me?"

Jing Gong shook his head and said: "It's one thing to say it, but it's another thing to believe it or not. In short, no matter how strong the leader is, if there is no suitable candidate and everyone's trust, it's just empty talk."

Emperor Liang originally just wanted to fight for fame, but he didn't take it seriously to form a nominal alliance. Now he can't avoid it when he talks about this issue in a serious manner, and said impatiently: "Da Liang is the strongest, At that time, I will contribute the most effort, there is no doubt about it. I am full of outstanding people, and I am the most prosperous place in the world. It is very simple to choose a candidate who satisfies all parties..."

Glancing at Prince Heng, Prince Cheng, Chu Yuan and other important ministers of Liang with startled eyes, he said with a mysterious smile, "I don't think Daliang can choose such a person..."
