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

Discussed: "Hey? How about calling Lord Xiaochang by the way? He is usually the best at making Emperor Father happy."

Shen Jieran noticed that His Highness the Fourth Prince's face, which had become more expressionless in the past two years, frowned obviously when he heard these words.

I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Jin is so depressed now because Chang Jize insisted on inviting Zhan to fight.

Fu Huaiyuan nodded his twitching forehead, and said: "You will bring Chang Jize into the palace to accompany your father in a while. You are right, since we are so sure, the prince will definitely come up with some crooked ideas to sway his father tonight." Third Brother, you must entangle Father Huang so that he will not meet the Crown Prince's people alone."

King Xiang asked, "What about you?"

Fu Huaiyuan said: "Brother Jieran is going to leave after Yi's decree tomorrow. I don't know how long this trip will take. I have to finalize the details with him."

King Xiang always hated this the most, so he got up quickly and said: "Since you said that the crown prince might have a way to sway his father, then what am I waiting for? I will go to the palace right now!" He bowed his hands to everyone in the room , swaggering out of the secret room.

The remaining three discussed matters for the morning court tomorrow, and Jin Shangshu was too busy these days, so he also left.

This secret room in Prince Xiang's Mansion was specially built for them to discuss matters, and they all entered and exited through secret passages.There are two exits at the other end of the secret road, one south and one north, both of which are remote alleys.They gathered here without anyone noticing, and they have never been discovered for two years.

Now only Shen Jieran and Fu Huaiyuan are left drinking tea face to face in the secret room.

Shen Jieran said: "The minister will go to war soon."

Fu Huaiyuan asked: "Brother Jieran, do you have a chance of winning?"

Shen Jieran said confidently: "This is natural."

Although in the eyes of others, he is just a young man who has never been to the Western Regions or fought a war, but in fact Shen Jieran has been at the border for five years. Not only the border between the two countries, but also the terrain of the Ling country Knows well.

What's more, perhaps no one in this world knows better than him the coach sent by the Ling Kingdom for the Eastern Expedition.

56. Chapter 55

Seeing that Shen Jieran was so confident, Fu Huaiyuan nodded, and the two began to discuss how to control the military power.

After all, it is very important to defend the Dacheng border, but their purpose is to use this battle to suppress the prince's power in one fell swoop.

Ever since the prince pulled King Qin off his horse the year before last, he has covered the sky with only one hand in the court.If King Xiang and Yuan Xiang were not able to suppress one or two, I am afraid that the court would already belong to him.Although the emperor intends to suppress, but in recent years, he has more and more energy to spare, so there is a faint tendency to be controlled by the prince.

Faced with such a situation, when Fu Huaiyuan had no choice, Shen Jieran suddenly told him that when the border wars broke out, it was time for them to turn around.

It's just that these years have been too peaceful. Even though Fu Huaiyuan vaguely felt that the northwest region had finished recuperating, he never thought that the war would come so suddenly.

It's not that he didn't wonder why Shen Jieran believed so firmly that the border of Dacheng would be violated, but according to his observation, Shen Jieran didn't seem to expect this day to come so soon.He didn't think about it any more.

Fu Huaiyuan said: "It is still important to focus on war. Recovering lost ground first is the most important thing to show your strength. But don't fight too fast or too easily. After all, there are too many people in the court who have never been on the battlefield. If they find it easy, they won't take you seriously."

"This general understands, and the general will definitely be able to control the rhythm."

"Well, the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable now, and the crown prince is still powerful. I can't make more guesses and arrangements. I can only contact you from time to time."

"Yes……"

"Brother Jieran, is there anything else you don't understand? Maybe you will be going to war in less than two days, why don't you tell me today, and I will give you an answer together."

After more than two years of contact, Shen Jieran has already roughly understood the nature of this Highness.He has always employed people without doubting others, and he is broad-minded enough. He is indeed a good master worthy of assistance.

Shen Jieran thought, it would be good to speak clearly at this time, so as to avoid mutual jealousy and suspicion in the future.So he said: "I am willing to help His Highness with all my heart. It's just that His Highness King Xiang..."

"What's wrong, brother?"

"What Yichen has seen so far is nothing." It's just that he has never been able to see through this person.

"Then why is brother Jieran always afraid of brother Huang?"

Shen Jieran smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid of Your Highness's jokes. Your Highness also knows that my brother will harm me, my brother of the same father and mother, for the title of Earl House. And I don't believe it. There will be a prince who doesn't want that position."

He is about to go to war, if there are any suspicions and taboos between him and His Royal Highness King Jin at this time, it may not be possible.And as a virtuous minister who will always assist His Highness in the future, it is not a good thing for two people to have too many secrets.Shen Jieran would ask King Xiang's questions, which could be regarded as the last test for Fu Huaiyuan.

Fu Huaiyuan started pointing the table with his finger again.

Shen Jieran continued: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, King Xiang is something I can't see through."

The third prince, although he seemed to be careless about everything and not very serious, but sometimes he was the one who could get to the point, which was unpredictable. "Now in the court, all the ministers think that His Royal Highness King Xiang is fighting against the prince, but they don't know that it is His Highness you who are planning behind the scenes!"

"Are you afraid that I have done so much, all of which are making wedding dresses for the third brother?" Fu Huaiyuan didn't think much this time, he stared at Shen Jieran closely, and said seriously: "The reason why I didn't Tell you why the third brother is loyal to me, because some things are related to the life of the third brother, and it is not convenient for me to disclose. But I think, if it is you, brother Jieran, there is no harm in telling you. "

Shen Jieran looked at Fu Huaiyuan frankly.

"Because the third brother is not from the father. He does not have royal blood."

"..." Shen Jieran opened his eyes slightly.

No matter how rich his imagination is, he can't guess that the child that the Holy Majesty loves the most is actually not his own son!The noble concubine whom he has loved for many years has done something wrong to him!

Fu Huaiyuan sighed slightly, "Deng Guifei back then... oh, at that time, the emperor was still the crown prince, and Deng Guifei was just one of his many concubines. It is said that the concubine at that time was not as smart as she is now A person who knows how to be flexible. When she was young, she couldn't tolerate the sand in her eyes the most. She couldn't accept that her husband favored this one today and that one tomorrow. Sometimes I don't like my father..."

So now this noble concubine who is in charge of the harem and can even overwhelm the empress was just an arrogant and ignorant little girl when she was young?Because she was not allowed to be favored by her husband, and she was born with a peerless beauty, did she go the wrong way?

His Royal Highness Jin Wang did not go into details.

"But these things..."

"Brother Jieran wants to ask, how does this king know?"

Shen Jieran nodded.This is definitely known, His Royal Highness King Xiang will lose his head, and even the entire Deng family will be wiped out.No wonder Fu Huaiyuan didn't want to talk about it before.

He was thinking like this, but what Fu Huaiyuan said next shocked him even more——

"This matter was told to me by the emperor's grandfather."

Fu Huaiyuan saw his surprise, and said directly without waiting for him to ask again: "I am the youngest. I was only fourteen or fifteen years old when the emperor's grandfather passed away. I have just been crowned king, and I have no relatives to support me. Jieran Brother, what reason do you think would make Jin Shangshu, Ji Gelao, and Commander Huo Duhuo such important court officials willing to work for me?"

Shen Jieran couldn't believe it.

"As for the third brother, he also knows his true identity. What happened back then may be some agreement between Concubine Deng Gui and my grandfather, but the specific situation is unknown."

"Your Highness means...Although the late emperor passed on the throne to His Majesty before his death, in fact..." But in fact, the real heir apparent chosen by the late emperor was Fu Huaiyuan.

In other words, the first emperor had long expected what the court would be like after Emperor Xuanwen ascended the throne, so he looked further afield.Among the four older princes of Emperor Xuanwen, he had already selected one.

That's why Lord Jin and the others are so loyal to His Highness.

And Fu Huaiyuan would say that, I am afraid that the agreement made by the late emperor and Concubine Deng was that they would do their best to assist the fourth prince to ascend the throne, and after that, the third prince would be able to be an idle prince in the end.Just like his old man had long expected that after his death, the aristocratic families headed by the Shen and Yuan families and the poor families would inevitably form opposition, so he arranged for the marriage of the Shen and Yuan families.

Some things can be tacit, but if you say it, it is treason.Regarding Shen Jieran's remarks, Fu Huaiyuan did not deny it, even if he acquiesced.

Shen Jieran couldn't help re-examining the person in front of him again.

What kind of person, what kind of talent does he have, who can fall into the eyes of a generation of Mingjun at a young age, and pave the way for him to such an extent?

The first emperor reigned for more than 40 years. During his reign, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, and the weather was smooth, which made Dacheng free from war for more than [-] years.Can the vision of such a wise monarch be wrong?

If the prince hadn't been alive back then, if Fu Huaiyuan hadn't been young, if his name hadn't been right and wrong, would the first emperor have passed the throne to him directly?

Wait... Shen Jieran suddenly thought that since the late emperor could help Fu Huaiyuan with his virtuous ministers and resist the current crown prince's
