[Rebirth] After Ten Years of Marriage, Fall in Love Again

Just listening but did not open his mouth, Shen Jieran continued: "The prince only set his sights on the country of Chengguo, and on his position as the heir apparent, and what makes His Highness better than him is that His Highness has the world in mind."

Fu Huaiyuan couldn't help but look at Shen Jieran squarely.What the other party said was vague, but he could hear it clearly.In fact, he did notice that the border would become less and less peaceful in the past few years.Which bloody man can allow his country to be eroded and his people to be harassed?

But in fact, Shen Jieran didn't know what His Highness was thinking, and he was just trying to say that.It doesn't matter even if the words are inaccurate, if he praises the other party so highly, the other party will only think that he is putting a high hat on him.

But looking at the expression of the fourth prince now, Shen Jieran knew that what His Highness was thinking was similar to his own.

"Brother Jieran means that we should control the army first." This time, the tone was affirmative.He also knew in his heart that if he waited for the emperor to pass on the throne on the day of his death, he would definitely not be able to compete with the crown prince.So what to do after controlling the army... Anyway, there is no harm.

In fact, the two people's ideas have coincided with each other for a long time, but they can only test each other because they are afraid that the other party has a grudge.

"Your Highness really has great insight, which I admire." Shen Jieran praised him sincerely, after all, the other party was only a teenager, but he saw things at a much deeper level than others.Even when he was his age in the previous life, he only thought about having fun every day.

After talking, the two sides no longer have so many considerations before.

Fu Huaiyuan waved his hand, and said seriously: "It's a coincidence, among the six books, the Minister of War is mine." He directly dropped a heavy bomb.

Hearing Shen Jieran from the Ministry of War remind him of another matter, but he didn't mention it now.

When it came time to show each other's cards, Shen Jieran could not be vague: "There are [-] soldiers from my Shen family in the west, and they are all dispatched by His Highness. I just don't know the other forces, what is Your Highness' plan?"

Fu Huaiyuan dipped the teacup with his chopsticks, and simply drew a few circles on the table.

"There is the Shen family army in the west. Although the soldiers and horses in the north are under the orders of the father, their commanders have been generals for many years. The most dangerous and important thing is in the south. Although the forces in the southeast, southwest, and south of the Yangtze River seem to be mixed , but they secretly all follow the lead of King Mausoleum.” Fu Huaiyuan clicked on one of the largest circles, and then clicked on the middle circle, “As for the soldiers and horses near the capital, don’t worry too much. The commander of the guards, Huo Shang, has some kind of friendship, and he will definitely contribute when the time comes."

What are you trying to do?Shen Jieran didn't ask.He was just shocked that even the commander of the imperial guards was the fourth prince's man!

"So the biggest trouble right now is King Ling, and that's why I called you here today."

"Your Highness wants me to go to the south of the Yangtze River to talk to King Ling?"

"Exactly."

Shen Jieran found it both incomprehensible and embarrassing and said: "I don't have the slightest friendship with the King of the Mausoleum, and I have only heard of this person. Even if I go, it is not certain whether I will be able to meet the King of the Mausoleum."

"That's why I troubled Brother Jieran for a trip. King Ling has occupied the Jiangnan area for generations and is not close to the capital. There may not be many people in Beijing who can get on the line of King Ling, but I heard that Brother Jieran's fifth aunt and the current King Ling were good brothers, so I want to invite you to try it."

"My fifth aunt? Good brother?" Shen Jieran was a little stunned.

Among the brothers of Lord Shen's generation, the only one who married a male wife was Shen Jieran and his fifth uncle, Shen Feng, and he had found such a wife in his whole life.Hearing that the old Hou Ye of the previous generation, that is, Shen Jieran's grandfather, didn't like that male wife, his fifth uncle took people to the Western Regions to join the Shen family's army in a fit of anger, and stayed there for many years.

Speaking of which, the last time Shen Jieran saw this Fifth Uncle, he himself was just a child.

Fu Huaiyuan nodded, smiling innocently.

Shen Jieran always felt that there was something abnormal behind his smile.

"Okay, since His Highness said so, I will try it. But even if I can convince King Ling, what about General Chang in the north?"

Although it is not necessary for them to control all large armies, it is best to be fully prepared just in case.

General Chang has been stationed in the north for many years to frighten the Xiongnu, and his reputation is prominent, and all the people in the army look up to him.If he is really willing to assist Fu Huaiyuan, then it will be like a tiger with wings added.

Speaking of this, Fu Huaiyuan suddenly burst into a wry smile. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "If I promise General Chang that his son will be my queen in the future, will he agree to be an alliance with me?"

Shen Jieran... His jaw dropped in shock!

Fu Huaiyuan was still smiling wryly.That smile made it hard to believe that it was the expression of that shrewd, strategizing young man just now.

"Chang Jize is my good brother." Shen Jieran squeezed out these words almost viciously through his teeth.

He admitted that he had indeed plotted against Chang Jize in the past six months. Although it was a little despicable, it was all based on the premise that there were only benefits to him and no harm.

But where is the royal?That is simply a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!Make Chang Jize his queen?Not to mention that his personality of often committing crimes at that time would definitely suffer in the palace, but how could Chang Jize, a dignified young man, stand the trivialities of the harem and compete with other women for power and jealousy?

Just thinking about it made him feel chills, Shen Jieran had an intuition that Fu Huaiyuan was exaggerating his joke, but looking at the other's miserable eyes that were obviously trapped by love, he felt that this person was serious.

Fu Huaiyuan continued to smile wryly: "I know what you're thinking, brother Jieran, but I can swear that I didn't mean to play with him at all."

"I think if His Highness tells General Chang that he wants to marry his son, let alone an alliance, he might hack you to death."

After all, he was still a teenager, and Fu Huaiyuan's wry smile was mixed with a trace of grievance: "If you think I can really let go, why bother to pester him?"

Looking at his expression and hearing what he said, Shen Jieran knew that His Highness might not have taken Chang Jize down yet.This made him feel badly relieved a lot—seeing other people's appearance of being trapped by love inexplicably makes him feel relieved!

Shen Jieran asked: "Chang Jize's going to the Ministry of War, was it His Highness' trick?"

"Yes. I would never let him into an unfamiliar place." Actually, Fu Huaiyuan didn't need to explain to Shen Jieran. In fact, he had always been dissatisfied with Chang Jize's frequent mention of Shen Jieran, otherwise he would not have said that that day. He would fight him without saying a word.But when he thought that this person was Chang Jize's friend and already had a loving wife, and considering that he didn't want to make things difficult for Chang Jize in the future, he decided to speak clearly.

"..." Shen Jieran originally wanted to ask when these two people hooked up, and he didn't find anything tricky about these two people after living for ten years in the previous life!But now is not the time to gossip after all.What's more, he has to go to Chang Jize if he wants to gossip, "No wonder that kid has been in a trance all this time."

"I'm not married yet, and I will be like brother Jieran in the future, only loving his wife. Do you think General Chang can agree to this?"

Shen Jieran felt his teeth shudder when he heard the word "love".But when he thought of the cold and serious face of General Zhenbei, he silently lit a candle for His Highness the Fourth Prince in his heart.

He couldn't control the affairs of the two of them. The only thing he could do was to help his good brother to guard against Chang Jize.Judging from the current situation, Fu Huaiyuan doesn't seem to be playing with people's feelings - if he wants to rely on the power of other families to strengthen his own power, he will not look for someone like Chang Jize.

"If Your Highness is interested in the position, how can he not know which emperor is not the three thousand beauties in the harem? Besides, Chang Jize is a man." Although Dacheng has a law saying that men and women can marry, but after hundreds of years, there has never been a marriage. A precedent for a male queen.

Fu Huaiyuan said without even thinking: "As long as Ji Ze is willing to marry me, I will find my own way! Brother Jieran, I understand your concerns, but please believe in my determination and strength. Of course, the road ahead is still very long. Chang, the reason why I am telling you this now is because you are Chang Jize's friend, and secondly, I think that if there is anyone in Beijing who can understand me, it must be brother Jieran."

"..." Shen Jieran didn't think Chang Jize would agree to marry him.Not to mention that Chang Jize would never want to be a queen, even his machismo character would not allow him to marry any man!

Unless... Chang Jize is the one above.

But just that bastard, can he suppress this ghostly prince His Royal Highness?

Unless... His Royal Highness is voluntary.

Shen Jieran looked at Fu Huaiyuan with strange eyes.

Today's words are almost here.Shen Jieran got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he patted His Royal Highness on the shoulder, that means, wish you luck, brother!

38. Chapter 37

After returning home, Shen Jieran went to the old Hou Ye first, and was going to report everything about his meeting with Fu Huaiyuan today.

The alliance between him and the fourth prince is very confidential and must not be revealed. Therefore, after seeing the old Hou Ye, the two of them will retreat and discuss in secret.

After half a year of rectification, Old Master Shen also discovered that the Shen family is indeed as Shen Jieran said, the tree is too big to attract the wind, and many things are not done cleanly enough. Anyone with a heart can grasp the handle if they think about it.

It is difficult to make changes, but only by following the trend
