Your daughter's strategy

King Kang had no choice but to prepare his luggage in a hurry, and King Ancheng said he would go with him, but King Kang refused: "I have Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wei by my side. Don't worry. Everything in the capital is entrusted to you. Just be careful everywhere."

King Ancheng nodded solemnly. Even though he felt strange, King Duan's injury was real and there was no trace of fraud. There is no flaw at all, King Ancheng is puzzled, is all this really just a coincidence?

When Kang Wang left the capital, King Ancheng and Xu Jinghuan went to see him off. Xu Jinghuan specially introduced the big knife to Kang Wang and asked him to secretly protect Kang Wang. This was Xu Miaoyun's idea.

Dao knew that Master was fine, had a son, and he had a younger brother, so he was not in a hurry to go to Jiangxi, but Xu Miaoyun, knowing that King Kang was going to the northwest, urged Xu Jinghuan to recommend Dao to accompany him.

Da Dao was not very willing at first, after all, he is from the Jianghu, Kang Wang is from the royal family, and they don't deal with each other, but before he refused, Xu Jinghuan questioned, saying: "If you are really good at martial arts, how can you be hunted down like that? Appearance? Don't become a drag on the prince in the end."

When Da Dao heard this, he was so angry that he immediately agreed, and said that if Kang Wang lost a hair, he would pay for his life. Xu Jinghuan let Da Dao fall behind the team secretly. With one more hole card, Da Dao readily responded.

On the fifth day after Kang Wang left, Xu Peining and her newlywed husband Su Youting went to Qifeng Mountain to visit Xu Miaoyun. Xu Peining was in good spirits.Wearing a bright red engraved silk jacket with sleeves, and a floral skirt of the same color.

Su Youting, on the other hand, was wearing royal blue brocade clothes, personable and handsome, standing with Xu Peining like a golden boy and jade girl, Xu Miaoyun was so happy that she personally made tea for her sister and brother-in-law.

Su Youting gave Xu Miaoyun two red seals: "I should have given it to you when I returned home, and it's not too late to make up for it now."

Xu Miaoyun accepted it with a smile to thank her, and Xu Peining sent Su Youting to visit the temple.Let their sisters talk privately.

Su Youting agreed, with a good temper, and he was a gentle and elegant person at first glance. Seeing that Su Youting had left the yard, Xu Peining relaxed and sat cross-legged on the couch.Ask Xu Miaoyun if she is used to it in the temple.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "I didn't get used to it at first, but now I feel pretty good. What's going on at home these days when I'm away from home? My brother always reports good news but not bad ones, so I don't know anything about it."

Xu Peining smiled and said: "Everything is fine, sister-in-law is pregnant. Grandmother and mother are as happy as something, and grandma is also in good health. In previous years, the summer was hot and I still felt unhappy. This year, my second brother invited Dr. Lin to come early. Feeling the pulse, nothing happened, I didn’t have any discomfort throughout the summer, just worried about you, I heard from the girl who served me, I went to bed early every day, woke up early, and opened my eyes before dawn. Talking to myself Nao, I am worried that you will be wronged in the temple."

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this: "I also miss my grandmother very much."

Xu Peining patted her hand to show her comfort: "Second brother always comes to see you, and he just says yes when he goes back, and grandma is also worried that he will report good news or not bad news."

The two sisters chatted on twitter for a long time, and then turned from family affairs to outside affairs. Xu Miaoyun asked about the Northwest War in detail, for fear that Xu Jinghuan would really go to the Northwest on impulse.

Seeing the problem, Xu Peining was obviously different from those men like Xu Jinghuan. She thought about it carefully, and said, "Second brother suspects that the news from the northwest is false, and it's a plan by King Duan to escape, but I don't think so. With the power of the army and the favor of the emperor, he has an absolute advantage in seizing the heir. Even if the emperor doesn't like him in the end, he can put all his eggs in one basket and raise troops to seize the palace. Why stick to a temporary strategy?"

Xu Miaoyun understands what she means, it's like two people fighting, if they are equal in strength, then they must be careful, use the right strategy, and win by chance, if the strength is too big, the best way to defeat the opponent is to punch them, then Sun Tzu's Art of War 36 Metering has become a burden instead.

In the court, most of the people who supported King Kang were civil servants. Civil servants paid attention to decency, and felt that King Kang was the eldest son and should be established as the heir apparent. Military generals mostly supported King Duan, because military generals believed that whoever had the ability to speak out would be the emperor.

The conflict between King Kang and King Duan is not so much a conflict of seizing the prince, but a conflict between civil servants and military generals, a conflict between establishing a leader or establishing a virtuous person, just like the relationship between King Kang and King Duan all the time. Attack, Kang Wang defends, rarely when Kang Wang takes the initiative to attack.

That's because Kang Wang knew very well that once he took the initiative to attack, it would be equivalent to tearing his face, and he had to speak according to his own ability. Naturally, it will not easily cause fights, which is why he has repeatedly retreated.

And King Duan's psychology is also very subtle, he knows that the emperor intends to appoint him as the crown prince, but the matter of the crown prince is not up to the emperor alone, the empress dowagers and empresses all like King Kang, and those civil servants are also King Kang's backing, in troubled times, Naturally, he would not pay attention to those civil servants.

But in today's peaceful and prosperous age, military generals have no place to use their talents. They are not as useful as civil officials in governing the world. If he seizes the throne by force, he will lose the hearts of the people. What if those pedantic and old-fashioned civil servants will challenge him together?

That's why King Duan hesitated to move forward, and he tried his best to make his succession a legitimate thing. It's a pity that people are not as good as God, and being childless is his flaw, so he will be allowed to succeed in the future. Kang Wang, who had three sons, was a bit shorter in front of him, so he had to restrain his light and wait for his release.

Xu Peining said: "Nowadays the war in the Northwest is happening again, it is a great opportunity for King Duan to make contributions. Logically speaking, he should not miss this opportunity. How could he accidentally hurt his leg? If the incident in the Northwest is false, Then he should go to clean up the mess, so that no one can see the flaws. Now that King Duan is injured, but King Kang is allowed to go to the northwest, it shows that the thing in the northwest is true, at least it can withstand scrutiny."

Xu Miaoyun was thoughtful: "Is it an accident that King Duan broke his leg or did he do it on purpose? What good will it do him?"

Xu Peining didn't make a sound, this is what she couldn't understand.Xu Miaoyun only hated that she was trapped in the temple and could not inquire about the news in person, otherwise she might help her brother.

She asked Xu Peining: "Do Nannie and Zhenzhen often go to the house?"

Xu Peining said with a smile: "I go there every now and then, and I often send things over there. It's a little more intimate than when you were there. A few days ago, my daughter got engaged, and my grandmother even sent a green jade dripping water Guanyin as a gift to Tang. The second grandma is also a smart person, and later she came to thank her personally."

Xu Miaoyun was very surprised: "Is my daughter engaged?"

Xu Peining nodded: "Second Grandma Tang is the one. The family's surname is Chen, and it is also a big family in Shandong. There are at least a hundred direct descendants. Grandma said that Second Grandma Tang has a good eye. Like the Yan family in Jiangxi, they are all a hundred-year-old family. The daughter-in-law decided to be the second son of the eldest son of the Chen family. A woman might be picky. It's okay to be the second daughter-in-law."

Xu Miaoyun said: "But I heard that Nannan is not very willing and wants to withdraw from the marriage."

Xu Peining smiled and said: "She is in the midst of blessings and doesn't know how to be blessed. I don't know how many noble families want to marry their daughters to the Chen family. In order to get married to the Chen family, Second Grandma Tang also went to great lengths." Only then did the Chen family nod their heads. Now it's too late for her daughter to make a fuss. Later, Mrs. Tang said that her daughter must have never met the second young master of the Chen family. She didn't agree, so she didn't agree. So Second Grandma Tang thought of a way to get Chen Er The young master invites you to come to the house and asks your aunt to take a look through the screen, but she is even more reluctant, and says that he is ugly, and Second Mistress Tang is half-dead with anger, which means she is a handsome and unrestrained person."

Xu Miaoyun also couldn't help laughing, and said: "I guess Nannan doesn't want to get married so early, that's why she's making such a fuss."

Xu Peining sighed: "I can't control the marriage. Speaking of which, the second sister should get married too. For her marriage, my grandmother and mother are very anxious."

Xu Miaoyun didn't know that Xu Jinghan liked Yang Minzhi, so she said with a smile: "Second sister's appearance must be matched by someone who is equally handsome, otherwise the husband and wife will stand together, and that person will feel ashamed."

Xu Peining smiled, thinking of Yang Minzhi, who was tall, with handsome features, tall and straight like green bamboos and pine cypresses, and Xu Jinghan was a natural match, but unfortunately, there was no fate.

Her heart moved, and she looked at Xu Miaoyun: "You are on the mountain, King Ancheng must have come to see you."

Xu Miaoyun was asked once by Xu Jinghuan, she was not as shy as before, but said generously: "Yes, he said let me wait at ease, he will come to marry me."

Xu Peining smiled and said, "Hey, it's really good to have all the vows of the mountain alliance. It seems that sending you to the temple will not only end your fate, but also become closer."

It was easier for Xu Miaoyun to say what was in her heart to her sister, and said: "Actually, I was a little hesitant at first, fearing that meeting him would cause trouble for my brother if people found out, but then I thought, it's up to me, I really like him , although he told me not to worry about anything, but I feel that I must at least have the courage to face all kinds of troubles, so that I can't live up to his intentions. I always have to grow up, I have to shoulder the responsibility by myself, I can’t rely on others for everything, I express my heart to him, tell him that I want to marry him, and let my brother understand my heart, don’t let my brother deliberately embarrass me again He, Nannuan and Zhenzhen, if everyone objects at that time, at least they will speak well for me, step by step, everything they want will come true."

Xu Peining was stunned, and it took a while to pat Xu Miaoyun's shoulder: "You have grown up, so you don't need your brothers and sisters to worry about you."

Xu Miaoyun was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic: "I have to ask the second sister about the marriage of the second sister, what does she think?"

Xu Peining hesitated for a moment, and told about Xu Jinghan's crush on Yang Minzhi. Xu Miaoyun was greatly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Does grandma know?"

Xu Peining said: "How dare I let my grandmother know that I thought that he and my second brother would be friends, so I asked my second brother to come forward to find out. If Yang Minzhi also has the same meaning, then tell my grandmother that if my second brother speaks, my grandmother will not object. , but Yang Minzhi didn't notice Jing Han at all, and when the second elder brother was tempting him, he enthusiastically helped Zhang's family to talk about matchmaking, and the second elder brother said that the Xu family didn't have a girl who fell in love, so Jing Han didn't let Jing Han think about it."

Xu Miaoyun said: "Then Yang Minzhi doesn't know that the second sister likes him?" Xu Peining shook her head: "How dare you say that, it's a loss to your boudoir's reputation."

Xu Miaoyun said: "No matter how good Yang Minzhi is, he was also born of a concubine. He was still feared by his aunt in the Yang family, and she deliberately plotted against him. If anyone marries him, he will probably have to live with him. He probably has self-knowledge. Knowing that he is not good enough for the second sister, he didn't think about it, if he knew that the second sister liked him, would he work hard because of this, and come to propose marriage after finding a place in the Yang family?"

Xu Peining was confused by her words: "You mean that as long as Yang Minzhi knows Jinghan's intentions, he will come to ask for marriage?"

Xu Miaoyun said: "Of course, the second sister is beautiful and gentle, how can she not be worthy of Yang Minzhi? When we met Aunt Cao before, the second sister was careful and gentle. Her good Aunt Cao knows better than anyone else. If I know that I can have such a good daughter-in-law, I will be so happy that I can't sleep."

Xu Peining couldn't help laughing, and said, "I'll think about this matter after I get back."

The two sisters had lunch together, and Xu Peining and Su Youting left together in the afternoon, before leaving.Xu Miaoyun looked at Su Youting and thought of Cheng Ailian again.I whispered to Xu Peining to be on guard, but Xu Peining acted like I knew it long ago, and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Xu Miaoyun is really relieved, in her eyes, this eldest sister has never suffered from anyone, and she will definitely settle that Cheng Ailian.

on the way back.When Su Youting talked about Xu Miaoyun, he praised him a lot: "I lived in the temple at a young age. She is quite calm."

Xu Peining smiled and said: "Miaoyun was spoiled by the second brother since she was a child, and she thought of everything for her. She didn't need to think about it when the plan came, but she is actually a very smart person. She didn't say anything under the influence of the second brother. Extremely smart, she rarely suffers from disadvantages and grievances, and she is very popular, and she has many friends when she was in Hangzhou."

Su Youting nodded, and said: "It will be great when we Youfang are so smart. Mother is planning to marry her. I'm really afraid that she will be wronged at her in-law's house."

Xu Peining smiled and said: "My little sister is gentle and honest, but if the mother-in-law is not bitter and mean, you can see that she is good, and her life will not be bad."

Su Youting nodded. He felt that Xu Peining, like Xu Jinghuan, was a very wise person, but Xu Jinghuan showed his sharpness, but Xu Peining was restrained, and what she said seemed to make sense, so you couldn't find it. Refuting with excuses also makes you obey her and do things according to her ideas.

Su Youting felt that this kind of Xu Peining was very similar to the queen. In the early years, no matter how much the emperor didn't like the queen, no matter how picky he was, he couldn't find the queen's fault. It even made the emperor gradually relieve his knots, thinking that the queen was very good. Otherwise, how did Princess Taining come from?

Su Youting is not the kind of person who can't see that his wife is more capable than himself, on the contrary, he feels very pleasantly surprised and honored, and he has a little more respect for Xu Peining's intimacy.

Half a month after King Kang left, King Ancheng received the first letter, saying that he had successfully arrived at Gucheng Pass. The battle at Gucheng Pass was true. What results have been achieved? Now that the two armies are facing each other, reinforcements have arrived, and they are discussing how to send troops.

Only then did King Ancheng feel relieved, and the capital also fell into a brief period of tranquility. Now that the reinforcements had arrived, this situation would definitely be broken, so victory would be a matter of time.

But sometimes, wars cannot be won by looking at the number of people.

After another half a month, there was still no good news from the border, and the capital fell into a kind of anxiety again, and the emperor was more anxious than anyone else. He even regretted it, thinking that King Kang should not be asked to go to the northwest. He is better than him, the key is that Kang Wang has never been exposed to such a convenient thing.

Under the teaching of the empress, King Kang has always been a gentle and refined gentleman. He has never been a layman when it comes to this kind of war and military affairs.

Just when the emperor was hesitating whether to send Yang Minzhi to the northwest to replace King Kang, a letter finally came from Guchengguan, but it was not good news. When the emperor's eldest son was at the Gucheng Pass, he rushed through the pass crazily. Although the Gucheng Pass was led by Song Sanqi to repel several waves of attacks, he could not last long. He hoped that the troops could be increased immediately.

The emperor was in a hurry, and called Yang Minzhi into the palace, and called Duan Wang into the palace, and ordered Yang Minzhi to go to the northwest to bring Kang Wang back. He also discussed with Duan Wang who would send reinforcements to the northwest. King Ancheng also kept an eye on the situation in the palace. Regarding the situation, as soon as the news from the northwest came, he immediately discussed with Xu Jinghuan and asked the emperor to go to the ancient city pass.

The emperor reprimanded him in a rare way: "Not everyone can go to the battlefield, so don't add to the chaos. What if something goes wrong?"

King Ancheng was very disappointed, so he could only ask Yang Minzhi to be as thorough as possible in the northwest.

Yang Minzhi set off ten days earlier than King Duan, and he took the elite of Jinyiwei with him. The emperor gave him the order to bring King Kang back unscathed, so the group traveled day and night and did not dare to neglect.

But King Duan stayed behind, and discussed with the emperor how to use troops in the future. At the same time, it will take a few days to dispatch the army. The emperor asked King Duan if he was sure about this battle. I am the most familiar with it, at most three months, and I will definitely put the good news on your desk."

The emperor nodded in relief, and at the same time secretly regretted that the eldest son was not as capable as the second son.

On the third day after King Duan left, the emperor received another battle report from the Northwest. According to the report, Song Sanqi advocated defense as an offense, but Lord Kang insisted on sending troops. He was captured, and the Tartars threatened King Kang to force Song Sanqi to leave the ancient city pass. Song Sanqi was in a dilemma, and was confronting the Tartars, asking for the emperor's instructions. (To be continued.
