A Thousand Hills

Chapter 196

Two people who love to worry are together, and they have endless worries.

Fortunately, although they have thick skins, as Jiang Xingyun said, the relationship between people in the royal family has always been complicated.King Jingjiang's feelings for King Min's family are also unpredictable, so Jiang Xingyun is treated very politely in King Jingjiang's territory.

Of course, with Jiang Xingyun's temper, if you dare to be rude to her, she will ask you in the face.If you don't have the status of King Jingjiang and have a thick skin, then just wait!
King Jingjiang also asked Jiang Xingyun in particular, "In the past, the Marquis of Yongding trained his troops quite well. It was just a moment of inadvertence and he was defeated by pirates. Let me say that it is good to practice the navy when Fujian is near the sea. Your Majesty's strategy is correct."

Look, just now you said that Xie Moru was worried about his Jingjiang affairs, didn't he also worry about Fujian.Jiang Xingyun said, "There are no naval generals in Fujian, pirates are rampant, and the Marquis of Yongding is defeated once, so how can he afford to lose again?"

Jingjiang Wang said, "There must be a way, otherwise it is not a common law to always harass the sea environment."

Jiang Xingyun said, "Nowadays, the people on the beach have moved here and there, so they are not afraid of pirates coming."

King Jingjiang admired him greatly, "In the past, the Marquis of Yongding wanted to force the people along the coast to move inland, but the people were reluctant to leave their homes, so they failed in the end. The King of Min is extraordinary." This matter was done beautifully.

"Thanks also to the pirates. They often go ashore to harass them. The king of Fujian opened up the mountains for them. The mountains he opened up are his own. They will be exempted from tax within ten years, so people are willing. Now the coastal areas are almost moved, and the pirates will come again. It’s nothing more than eating some sea sand.” Jiang Xingyun smiled, “It’s thanks to the pirates, if they didn’t come here every now and then, how would the people be willing to move. They came here diligently, without using the power of the government, The people all moved away."

Jiang Xingyun smiled, these words really made King Jingjiang depressed for a while.

King Jingjiang smiled, "Well, the King of Min is not bad, he took advantage of the trend, but in just over a year, he has controlled the territory of Fujian."

Jiang Xingyun smiled, "The King of Min is here to clean up the mess. If he is still regarded as a puppet now, what face do I have to come to Jingjiang to meet the prince?"

"Xingyun, you are too rigid, not to mention your status, just your character and ability, whenever you come, I will treat you as a distinguished guest."

Jiang Xingyun had a half-smile, "I don't dare to be a guest, I just ask the prince to worry less about our Fujian region a few times."

King Jingjiang couldn't help laughing when he saw Jiang Xingyun repeating his old words, pointing to Jiang Xingyun and saying, "You little girl's family is just unforgiving." How is Jingjiang?"

Jiang Xingyun didn't even think about it, and said directly, "I am a loyal minister who does not serve the second master. If I stay in Jingjiang, I will not be the character that the prince values."

Jingjiang Wang said, "This king's concubine has passed away for a long time, and this king will hire her as a concubine."

Don't look at King Jingjiang's thick skin, after all, he is the king of the feudal lord, once he says it, he means it.Jiang Xingyun, on the other hand, was neat, and looked at King Jingjiang with a smile, "If I want to marry as a woman, I can't wait until now."

This was also within King Jingjiang's expectation, and King Jingjiang couldn't help but regretted, "It's a pity that you have a character like you, and you are alone for the rest of your life."

"With my character, it would be a pity if I admire wealth and power."

King Jingjiang is quite vicious, "No one in the world admires wealth and power. Xingyun, you are not an outsider, and I will not say those false words to coax you. I don't talk about others, but you are Xingyun. Based on your background, I believe you don't care about wealth. But if you don't have power in your hands, not to mention wealth, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it yourself."

Jiang Xingyun said, "The power is in my hands, not because I admire it, but because I have the ability, so it should be in my hands."

King Jingjiang laughed again, and said to Jiang Xingyun, "If I met you when I was young, I would never let you go."

After all, it is a vassal king, not to mention that King Jingjiang said he was willing to hire him as a concubine, Jiang Xingyun did not insult Jiang Xingyun.Jiang Xingyun said, "You were born before I was born, and you are already old when I was born. It is a pity for heaven and earth."

The two of them talked about the regrets of the world in every word, and King Jingjiang was flattered by it, but he also benefited from it.It's not that Jiang Xingyun's words are particularly beautiful, in fact, King Jingjiang often hears words that are thousands of times more beautiful than this.It's just that the person who spoke was different. The person who said this was Jiang Xingyun. Even if it meant saying Jingjiang Wang Lao, Jingjiang Wang listened very pleasantly.

King Jingjiang asked, "When you came, did your concubine have any other orders?" Now that the words were out of the way, King Jingjiang didn't make any detours.

Jiang Xingyun said, "The concubine said that she wanted me to see the port of the prince's house. If I have time, I will take a look at the soldiers and horses of the prince's house."

Hearing this, King Jingjiang was really eye-opening. He boasted that he was not thin-skinned, but now it seems that the waves behind the Yangtze River are pushing the waves ahead. King Jingjiang asked, "Did your princess let you see how much silver is in my warehouse?" ?”

Jiang Xingyun pretended not to hear King Jingjiang's sarcasm, and just smiled, "When the prince goes to Fujian, I will ask the princess to open the warehouse, so that the prince can see how much silver is stored in Fujian, how about it?"

Jiang Xingyun is such a bold and generous woman, King Jingjiang's heart turned like lightning, thinking of her as a little girl, it's okay to go to the army to see her for a while, and she can let others know the strength of Jingjiang.King Jingjiang laughed, "Since Mo Ru ordered you, how could I disobey. Speaking of which, I haven't seen such a powerful woman like you for a long time in these years."

Jiang Xingyun didn't mind others saying that she was amazing, there were so many people who said this, Jiang Xingyun never took it to heart, but King Jingjiang followed, "It's not a good omen!"

It really made Jiang Xingyun choke to death, Jiang Xingyun asked, "Why, what kind of astronomical calculations does the lord know well, and it can't be seen from us that it is not a good omen?"

Jingjiang said, "yin and yang have always been in harmony, but now there seems to be signs of yin flourishing and yang declining."

Jiang Xingyun didn't take it seriously, "It's really a big fuss. If a woman was always in power and a woman was the emperor, and a man came out to be in power, people would find it strange. The principles of heaven and earth are not static."

King Jingjiang disagreed with this theory, saying, "If there is heaven, there will be earth, and if there is yin, there will be yang. Heaven and earth are respected by men, so there must be the principles of heaven and earth. Let alone what kind of person my mother was, if you want to talk about this country, The emperor's brother certainly contributed, but the mother spent most of her life in it, and in the end, the emperor's brother is still respected. Could it be that the mother's meritorious service is not as good as the emperor's brother? This is the difference between male superiority and female inferiority."

Jiang Xingyun said, "It is also true that the Empress Shizu's authority was not allowed to pass over to the late Emperor."

Jingjiang said kingly, "Do women only value reality?"

Jiang Xingyun did not answer directly, but instead said, "In the past, when the princes entered the court to study and work as errands, the first prince was in the Ministry of War, the crown prince was in the Ministry of Households, the third prince was in the Ministry of Punishment, the fourth prince was in the Ministry of Industry, and the fifth prince was in the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry is in charge of the money coming in and out, the most important thing. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are all fat and water yamen, and the Ministry of Punishment Xie Shangshu is the third prince's pro-grandfather. It is said that the Ministry of Rites is the weakest. Our princess said that the Ministry of Rites is good, and everything is inseparable from a word of courtesy .Rules and etiquette are the most important thing in the world, and King Min has been in the Ministry of Rites for seven years."

"The King of Min is considered a capable prince, but it's a pity that the fiefdom His Majesty gave him has really wronged the King of Min."

"When the prince was entrusted to the prince, the King of Min was already mentally prepared. A remote place is not necessarily a bad thing. Those people entrusting His Highness to a remote place are nothing more than new and old grudges. Just think about it later, Now His Highness is His Majesty's own son, and in the future when the new king ascends the throne and has his own son, these vassal kings and uncles will be further away. When the new king wanted to entrust his parents and children, he found that the good place was occupied by his brothers and sisters. My son sealed off some corners and corners of the land. Relatives and estrangements were determined early, but the king of Fujian, although located in a remote place, because of the remoteness, few people think about it." Jiang Xingyun said calmly, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and it has always been like this. "

King Jingjiang is not easy to persuade, the old man smiled, "Your lord is so clear, how can you speak up about the Ministry of Households, and you will greatly offend the East Palace."

Jiang Xingyun asked back, "As the overlord of one party, do you want a son with a temperament like King Min, or a son who is good at everything?"

King Jingjiang praised, "Xingyun, you are a first-rate eloquent."

"This is just a trick." Jiang Xingyun said, "The prince thinks why I work for the princess. The princess can give me more than others. There is no advantage among the king of Fujian and the princes. Many people I like to say, when I have the power in my hands, what will happen. Such a person, even if he has the power once, is nothing more than a master of tactics. Many people love power, chase power and gain power in their lives, but I don’t want to be such a person I also need power, I want it, because I want to use it to do some things, not to use it to get riches and glory. I hope that when I look back on my life before I die with gray hair, I can say that I How much I have done for this world, not how much gold and silver wealth I have accumulated in what position I am in. I am such a person, so I will definitely serve such a person.”

King Jingjiang sighed with a smile, "Then you should take a good look at the ending of Princess Fusheng."

"Is there anything wrong with Princess Fusheng's ending?" Jiang Xingyun said, "When you are born, you will live, and when you die, you will die. It is vigorous and relentless."

"If she has the knowledge under the spring, if she knows the ending of her children, she can be as free and easy as Xingyun and you." King Jingjiang felt that he was not at the age of strong and fierce, and he certainly understood Jiang Xingyun's ambition. In fact, he has so far Everyone likes people with such pure ambitions.Thinking about it, this is also the reason why he is quite tolerant towards Jiang Xingyun.

However, such a person, such a person, such a person, if you see the end of such a person, you will have a particularly deep sorrow.

Jiang Xingyun spread his hands and smiled, "So, you see, I am alone and have nothing to worry about."

King Jingjiang smiled and smiled again, and then said something earth-shattering, "Could this be the reason why you haven't had a child yet?"
