Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene
Chapter 68: Obeying the Law in the Machiavellian Literature (28)
Shen Jin was thinking about the future plot and it would be time to leave next spring.
This winter, the Qiang enemy attacked, and the Western Border Army was defeated due to equipment problems.
A closer look revealed that the fine iron refined by the Third Prince's group was accidentally sold outside the border. Upon learning of this, the Qiang people improved their craftsmanship and strengthened their armaments.
The two sides were equally matched, fighting for this slight advantage. Clearly, the Qiang army seized it and decisively launched the war.
Fortunately, Xiao Jiangran had reminded Song Zeming in advance and arranged for Gongsun Ye to join the Song family army in advance, so that they had the equipment to fight.
Otherwise, the other party can break the shield with one sword, how can we fight?
With the emergency rescue of the Song army, the Qiang army was forced to retreat outside the border.
After this matter was resolved, Xiao Jiangran and Song Zeming reported the matter of the Ye family and the iron smelting workshop together.
The emperor was furious and Prince Ping was demoted to a commoner and forbidden to study literature for five generations. The entire Ye family was exiled.
Because of this achievement, the appointment of the Prime Minister will be issued in the early spring of next year.
During this period, he would find out that the second prince, Prince Ping, forced women of good families into prostitution, used brothels and gambling houses to make money, and also provided power-for-sex transactions, and controlled many officials.
But the formal confrontation between Xiao Jiangran and the second prince occurred after he became the prime minister, and the two factions also represented the struggle between the cabinet and the six ministries.
At that time, Xiao Jiangran was fully grown and highly regarded by the emperor. Overall, he had no major problems, and the occasional injuries he sustained were not fatal and would not cause any sequelae.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is a rare peaceful banquet in the plot. Xiao Jiangran works all day, so he should enjoy himself.
With the headband tied on his head, Shen Jin felt very relieved.
Unfortunately, the shield can naturally block open and hidden attacks, but if drugs are used...
Shen Jin was tricked by the world consciousness.
The dormant world consciousness was still intent on taking down Shen Jin. It tampered with the plot and dragged the idle "King You" into the game.
At the banquet, Xiao Jiangran sat next to the Prime Minister. After a year's absence, Ye Yunzhong returned to the cabinet and faced Xiao Jiangran's aggressive approach. He was clearly overwhelmed.
Although he was only fifty, his temples were completely gray and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Jiangran naturally raised his glass and said politely, "Master Ye, please."
"Humph, Lord Xiao, this wine is too much for me to drink."
"You are joking, my lord. I am still young and I still need to learn from you."
Xiao Jiangran narrowed his eyes, looking harmless, and smiled like the spring breeze in March. I don't know how many people have been deceived by this appearance.
After another round of drinks, Xiao Jiangran had some free time, so he sat down and started peeling crabs.
He had just scooped out a spoonful of crab roe when he noticed the gaze from the other side.
Look up and meet the other person's gaze.
He smiled brightly, and it turned out to be King You.
However, his smile didn't seem to be well-intentioned.
Xiao Jiangran pondered secretly: if he really wanted to know which faction in the court he had never clashed with, it would definitely be Prince You's faction. Mainly, his responsibilities didn't extend to the imperial family, so their work hadn't yet overlapped.
"So, why is he upset with me?"
After thinking about it, he didn't panic. After all, those who wanted to harm him were lined up outside the Meridian Gate.
It’s better to go back.
Xiao Jiangran calculated the time. It was almost time. She wondered if Shen Jin would still be in the yard. She was very fond of the peach tree.
He has recently been asking a carpenter for advice, asking him to help her dig a nest in the tree.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He was familiar with the route and avoided the fallen maid, but the wine spilled all over him.
"Sir, please spare me, I didn't mean it."
Xiao Jiangran looked at his wet clothes and said, "Nothing, you can go down."
Whether it was an accident or a trick, just go back.
The commotion here didn't attract much attention, but it was still witnessed by Eunuch Cai. Xiao Jiangran nodded to him.
"Eunuch Cai." He bowed first. "My clothes are stained with wine, and it would be impolite to greet His Majesty. Please tell His Majesty that I am leaving first."
"In the future, I will come to Your Majesty to apologize."
"Master Xiao, you're joking." Eunuch Cai waved his whisk and said, "I've noticed you've been distracted for a long time, but there's something important going on."
Xiao Jiangran blinked and pointed with his fingers: "Private matter, there are people waiting at home."
The tone is intimate but not presumptuous.
Eunuch Cai was amused. Xiao Jiangran was a favorite of His Majesty, so he was naturally happy to make friends with him. "I'll let His Majesty know right away."
"Thank you, sir."
Xiao Jiangran waited quietly in the imperial garden, only to find that the sweet scent of osmanthus was too strong.
Thinking that he could leave the palace after receiving the verbal message, he could only suppress the inexplicable urgency.
"Brother Xiao."
A lingering call sounded behind him.
Xie Yunshu, wasn't she sent back to Yongzhou? Why is she here?
Xiao Jiangran watched the woman walk out from the flowers, carrying an extremely strong fragrance of osmanthus, and approached him with lotus steps, looking confident of victory.
"Brother Xiao, are you waiting for me?"
Xiao Jiangran bit his tongue to stay awake and stepped back: "You drugged me? Who brought you into the palace? Who gave you the courage to do these things?"
"You are such a despicable person. Have you ever thought about your grandfather's teachings?"
"Grandfather! All you do is talk about my grandfather!"
After Xie Yunshu scolded him, he regained his composure: "You don't need to know these things. You just need to know that after tonight, we will be a legitimate couple."
Xiao Jiangran could already feel the heat erupting from his lower abdomen, a warmth that seemed to melt him. He turned decisively, disregarding the perceived impoliteness, and ran towards the palace.
As long as there are people, as long as there are people!
Damn.
Xiao Jiangran's brain was a little dulled by the effects of the drugs, and he ran in the wrong direction without realizing it. Although he often went to the palace, this was probably the harem area, which he had never set foot in.
Finally, he heard the sound of armor clashing.
Grit your teeth and keep running in that direction.
My mind grew increasingly confused, and the heat that had once lingered in my lower abdomen now spread throughout my body, transforming into an unbearable tingling sensation. To make matters worse, this aphrodisiac also had the effect of cartilage powder.
His steps became heavier and heavier, and in a moment, his legs lost feeling and he fell heavily to the ground.
Looking up, I saw Prince You holding a lantern, standing tall and graceful.
His face was filled with the joy of having his revenge taken. He was clearly overjoyed, yet he was forcing a smile. "Tsk, what a mess, Lord Xiao. You're lucky. Miss Yunshu is a real beauty."
Xiao Jiangran saw Xie Yunshu standing behind King You with a sweet smile on her face.
So, this was a plan set up by King You, and Xie Yunshu joined voluntarily.
King You raised his hand, and two guards lifted Xiao Jiangran up.
"Go to Zhenhe Palace."
Since the death of Concubine Zhen, Zhenhe Palace became a forbidden area in the harem, and only the emperor himself could enter and exit.
"Father, oh father, if you saw someone committing adultery in your Zhenhe Palace, would you be so angry that you would beat Xiao Jiangran to death on the spot, hahahaha!"
"Zhen Fei, oh Zhen Fei! You killed my mother when she was alive, and you still can't stop even after you die. If you saw your Majesty beat your own son to death, would you be satisfied?"
"Xiao Jiangran, who blames you? He's her son."
"I'm so kindhearted that I even sent your mentor's beloved grandson to accompany you on your journey."
