Pick all the cold branches

"I think this is a good idea. Why don't you send her back to the palace first, and be a companion for Ah Cui, and then make other plans after the father's breath is over."

He intentionally put on a leisurely face, said with a smile while looking at Zhen Xian's expression.

Zhen Xian immediately knew that he shouldn't have thrown himself into the trap just now to make up for it.

But the words have accidentally leaked out of my mouth, and I can't swallow them again.

"Stop joking, Your Highness. This is a matter of life and death—"

Zhen Xian lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look directly into Jia Fei's smiling eyes.

But this shy look made His Royal Highness Jing's heart feel hotter, and he couldn't help but grabbed him.

"Xiaoxian, do you believe me or not?"

He twisted his face forcibly, and looked deeply into his eyes, which were full of eagerness.

Zhen Xianlue felt embarrassed, even more inexplicable, and couldn't help frowning in annoyance, and said in a low voice, "Why do you need to ask questions knowingly, Your Highness?"

Jiafei looked at him quietly for a moment, then held his sleeve, and gently stroked the dark embroidery on the piping.

"Since you believe me, let me tell you a serious way. If you think there is nothing wrong with it, just follow me, okay?"

His Highness has already thought about everything before and after, and he is afraid that he will not agree, so he deliberately coaxes him like this.

Zhen Xian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. He wanted to ask why there was such a relationship between him and His Highness, but after thinking about it, he also understood that most of the reason why His Highness treats him so carefully is because of himself. There's really no place to complain.

He shouldn't have put His Highness in such a difficult position.

"Speak, Your Highness, I'm listening."

The hands hidden in the sleeves clenched their fists subconsciously, Zhen Xian sighed softly in his heart, and raised his eyes.

Jiafei still stared at him closely, making sure that he was not angry before continuing.

"The reason why these Japanese pirates can frequently harass is because they occupy several offshore islands and reefs as their strongholds. If our frontier troops cannot garrison these islands and reefs for a long time, even if this group of Japanese pirates' lairs are taken away this time, sooner or later they will return." There will be the next batch of comebacks. So... I want Lu Lan and Zhang Er to take San Niang with them."

In a short paragraph, His Highness spoke slowly and carefully, explaining layer by layer, just for the last sentence.

"Your Highness wants to move Longhuzhai to these islands and reefs." Zhen Xian pondered for a moment and came to a decisive conclusion.

He said it too bluntly, although it is also true.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jiafei's eyes, and he cleared his throat before continuing, "Since they have been enlisted, they are serious soldiers, why not set up a guard post here. Firstly, it will be beneficial for border defense, and secondly—"

His Highness Prince Jing didn't say any more about the latter words.

There is no need to say anything outright.

Zhen Xian understood clearly in his heart.

Before His Majesty ordered Gu Sanniang to be killed, Longhuzhai could be just an ordinary bandit village, but now that His Majesty has murderous intentions, the existence of Longhuzhai is suddenly very subtle.

These people were originally a group of "rebels". Since the Holy Majesty has stated that he does not intend to recruit them, the rebels can only remain rebels.

The emperor wants to kill Gu Sanniang, if he is not careful, the Dragon and Tiger Village will be rebelled.

And if Longhuzhai rebelled, the first person to be implicated would be His Highness Prince Jing who took the initiative to come to make friends.

The difference between recruiting soldiers to fight against the Japanese and recruiting soldiers to rebel is only in one thought.

What's more, there is Lu Lan, a subtle existence that should have been ransacked by Jin Yiwei, once used by someone with a heart, there will be endless troubles.

This was originally a risky move, but because of His Majesty's reluctance to take it, it completely became a flaw.

In terms of advantages and disadvantages alone, the most beneficial countermeasure for His Royal Highness Prince Jing is, as Mr. Cao Ge said, to get rid of all these "loopholes" before the people from Dongchang intervene.Especially Gu Sanniang.

Fighting on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and killing people with a sword is a simple matter.

His Highness could even keep him in the dark from the beginning to the end, and not let him know anything.

But His Highness did not do so.

His Highness is determined to save the lives of these innocent people.

Let these people set up guards on the islands and reefs in the sea, serve the country from now on, and stick to them. This is the sincerity expressed by His Highness Prince Jing to his father, and it is even more a game.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor is willing to take a step back and keep people under the knife, these people will stay on the islands and reefs far away from the inland for the rest of their lives, guarding the country's gates and never coming back. Correspondingly, everything related to them will also be buried.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor refused to give in, he had to worry that these people were already guarding the frontier and would not move them easily.As for other people, it is not so easy to pick a place in the Weisuo's territory.

This is indeed a life-saving method.

But it is not the best policy for His Highness.

On the contrary, doing so by His Highness is tantamount to disobeying the Holy Will again at this critical moment, and the risk to be taken is simply too great.

Especially even so, these people who are so hard to maintain by His Highness may not appreciate it.

Leaving aside Lu Lan, no matter Gu Sanniang, Zhang Er, or even everyone in Longhuzhai, the heavenly principles are clear in their hearts, and it is by no means that they will be trapped on the island for the rest of their lives.

What the heroes of the green forest want is always to kill dog officials, settle unjust cases, be proud, and be proud of the world.

The way of life His Highness Prince Jing planned for them is far from their expectations, and it is inevitable that they will be blamed.Even if you don't say it at the beginning, after a long time, you will definitely think that you have been treated badly by His Highness, that you have been cooked by rabbits and dogs who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

What His Highness is doing is a national policy based on balance, but these people are not national scholars, but bandits. Rather than putting righteousness first, I am afraid they would rather stand on their own hills and escape justice.

At that time, His Highness is afraid that he will end up in an embarrassing situation where he is not human inside and out.

He is His Highness' counselor, and His Highness should be the priority in everything. At this time, he should actually dissuade His Highness and prevent His Highness from doing such thankless "stupid things".

He clearly understands this very well.

But there was another voice in my heart neighing and shouting clearly.

His Highness did not make a cold decision to kill, but was willing to fight for these people who did not deserve to die in vain. This choice made him both happy and worried, and the conflict was so painful that he couldn't live without it.

At this moment, Zhen Xian felt that he had never seen so clearly the soft Achilles' heel in his heart.

He really didn't want His Highness to become a cold-blooded and ruthless person in this power struggle, but he was deeply afraid that his obsession would one day become His Highness's weakness, making His Highness difficult to walk in a dangerous situation.

Zhen Xian sighed in resentment, frowned and pressed his painful forehead, and said in a low voice: "I understand His Highness's painstaking efforts, but... others may not. I am afraid that His Highness will always find it difficult to fulfill his wish."

Jia Fei's eyes darkened upon hearing this.

Sure enough, Xiaoxian was still his Xiaoxian.

Xiaoxian understood him.

That being the case, he can be fearless.

"If they don't want to be stationed in the guard post, they can only take advantage of the big army to attack the island and wipe out the Japanese pirates. Otherwise, there will be no other way to survive."

He couldn't help grabbing Zhen Xian's hands, clasped them together in his palms, and his voice was full of affection.

"Father has always avoided talking about people. Many times, for the word "people's words", he would go to war and do unnecessary things. But I am not Father. As long as you understand me, I don't care what others say or think. .”

Zhen Xian's eyes became hot, and tears almost welled up.

"I'm here to tell brother Guangfeng about this, so your Highness should not come forward." He hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes that were burning hot, and said so.

Jia Fei smiled lightly and shook his head, "You know I won't push you ahead to solve my problems. I didn't say these things to you to trick you into working for me. I'm just afraid that you might misunderstand me too. , I am going to get angry and run away again, so what should I do?"

The last sentence is half worry, half joke.

It's only because he was young, immature, and did stupid things, so he was pinched by the prince, and every time he brought it up to make fun of him, he planned to laugh for the rest of his life.

Zhen Xian's face blushed immediately, feeling ashamed and wronged, he stretched out his hand and said in annoyance: "I have already said that I will never leave Your Highness again. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, just tie me up with a rope, Don't worry about it."

He actually stretched out his hand and asked His Highness Prince Jing to tie him up.

Jiafei was startled on the spot.

Because of the strict family upbringing since childhood, Zhen Xian has always been immature and innocent when it comes to those private matters, and never thinks in the wrong direction, so he doesn't know what terrible things he just said.

But these words fell on the center of Prince Jing's ear, coupled with that face soaked in red tide, even though he knew that he didn't mean that, he still felt that it was no different from flirting and love words, and couldn't help thinking about it , I feel that if I can really tie it up, it must be very good, very good, and the scenery is infinite...

Jiafei was already happy in his heart, but his face was still tense, fearing that Xiaoxian would scold him for being evil when he reacted, so he quickly touched the tip of his nose to cover up, and coaxed Zhen Xian: "You just believe Lu Lan. Call from Lin'an, I will meet him with you."
