Just call him "Prince", even omitting the word "Kang".
Everyone knows what it means.
King Kang looked at the two courtiers speaking in front of him.
One is from the fifth-grade Hanlin Academy. Although he is from Qingshui Yamen and his official rank is very low among this group of people, the family behind him is not weak.
Kang Dynasty looked at the person speaking in front of him, another third-grade official from the same clan.
The other party did not avoid his eyes, but nodded with a smile, and King Kang understood what the other party meant.
Asking him to take this person to Princess Xian's mansion was just an excuse. It was true that the Qian family wanted to take this opportunity to seek refuge with him.
"After finishing the business, I will go to the princess's mansion with you to ask. If I can't see Ning Huangshang today, I will tell Princess Xian that if there is any news, she will notify me immediately. I will invite you again then. go together."
King Kang's answer was both sincerity and action, but in fact there was no guarantee that he would be able to see Ning Wuhao.
Rao is so.
His statement has already satisfied everyone.
You must know that there were courtiers who wanted to join King Kang's faction in the past. After the other party made his intention clear, King Kang refused because he thought the other party was a cunning and incompetent person.
Among the courtiers present, there were not many who thought they had outstanding abilities and worked for the benefit of the people.
So they couldn't help but worry whether King Kang was too upright and intolerant of others.
Fortunately, King Kang not only did not reject their proposal, but also helped them considerately.
This made those families who were observing secretly feel even more anxious.
Even some courtiers who had defected to the Jin faction could not help but regret taking sides too early.
The stones in the latrine are smelly and hard for King Kang. He clearly didn’t think about fighting for the throne at the beginning, so he didn’t pay attention to many people. Now he has hope and is willing to advance and retreat together with everyone. In addition, King Kang besides the previous When interests come together, people are loyal.
Compared with the way the King of Jin only gathered together for profit, when the profit was gone, he could also abandon his own in-laws, the former emperor Shang Qiao family.
In fact, King Kang is more suitable for them to take refuge!
Those courtiers who had not taken the lead in taking sides, whether they wanted to side with King Kang or not, saw that King Kang was willing to take them to the Princess Xian's Mansion to find out more. They swarmed up and talked eagerly with King Kang.
And those courtiers who had already belonged to the Jin Dynasty faction, secretly and openly, could only stare with envy and jealousy at the courtiers who were chatting animatedly, looking down at their toes or looking up at the sky from time to time, secretly regretting it.
Why did the Zhuque Gate open so late today and the court was not announced yet?
in front of the door.
The two areas, lively and deserted, form a sharp contrast.
King Kang was surrounded by a crowd of people asking for help, and felt heat rising all over his body.
Just when he was about to be unable to cope with such enthusiastic courtiers and was about to lose the smile on his face, a heavenly voice sounded in front of him.
"Your Majesty is coming to court!"
"See you in Hajj!"
call--
I was finally able to go in and go to court.
Even though I went to court, I still had to listen to a group of courtiers chattering like sparrows, arguing and making a simple matter extremely complicated, and still arguing without any results.
But it's better than a group of people all watching his every move and then zooming in to guess his thoughts.
When a prince competing for the crown prince is so tired, Prince Kang realizes for the first time how much pressure he will have in the future if he really sits on that throne.
I was in a hurry to go out this morning and didn't have breakfast.
At this time, I felt a stomachache.
"Prince Kang, please."
King Kang stood in the second row.
The gatekeepers who usually treated him politely went out of their way to say hello when he passed by today.
King Kang had no choice but to smile.
As he entered the palace gate, he could feel more eyes falling on him.
At this time, King Kang, who was planning to walk the road with a cold face, could only tighten the smile on his face. Not only did his stomach hurt, but his face also seemed to be a little painful. The autumn wind blew, and the wrinkles became even more uncomfortable.
After finally arriving at the Chaoyi Hall, a warm breath enveloped his whole body. He knelt down and stood up after saluting. Before he could take a breath, he heard his father laughing on the jade steps and asked: "Old Fourteen, are you with me?" What are the lovers talking about in front of the palace gate, so cheerful?"
"..."
As a prince competing for the crown prince, he chatted happily with the courtiers and was even specially mentioned by his father.
King Kang instantly felt no pain anywhere and worked hard to deal with it.
"Back to my father, everyone wanted to visit Ning Huangshang. Since Ning Huangshang lived in Princess Xian's mansion, it was inconvenient to go there rashly, so I asked my son to help them connect. I thought that I would also go to visit after all. Then I promised to make an appointment with them after finishing my errands."
When King Kang spoke, he carefully considered his words.
After saying that, I thought about it again to make sure there were no mistakes, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
pity.
He relaxed too soon.
After listening to King Kang's retelling, Zhou Qian's smile did not diminish, but he warned in an extremely low tone: "Old Fourteenth, Jingxian has established her own business. Her guests do not mean they are your guests. You bring her With so many people coming, is Jingxian going to turn father away? I'm afraid that her unfilial memorial will fill up my desk again, but if she receives you people, it will disturb Ning. Whose fault is it that Aiqing is recovering from her injuries?"
this……
King Kang was confused for a moment and could not understand the meaning of his father's words, but he could tell that his father was criticizing him for not considering things thoroughly.
But Princess Xian is his daughter, so what's the harm in going uninvited?
"My father taught me that it was my fault that I thought improperly. I will inform my daughter before I leave."
King Kang's answer made Zhou Qian understand.
This old boy didn't understand the reminder at all!
You, Prince Kang, are Prince Kang. It is your Prince Kang's business to form cliques. So what if you fight to the death with the Prince of Jin faction in the future?
Girl Jingxian, Ning Wushan and even the Ning family cannot get involved in this!
Zhou Qian saw that King Kang still had the idea that I would go to his daughter's house and only need to say hello. He was so angry that he could only make his words clear.
"Fourteenth, girl Jingxian has been busy for so many days. I finally let her rest for two days. You can do your errands well in these two days and don't disturb her."
As soon as these words came out.
The courtiers who originally wanted to catch a ride on King Kang's boat and be able to meet Ning Wuyan as soon as possible looked at each other.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Your Majesty wants to split Prince Kang and Princess Xian into two camps.
So if they take refuge in King Kang, can they still succeed?
"If you have the foundation to start a memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat!"
At this time, Su Peiyuan shouted at Zhou Qian's signal.
The courtiers who had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts quickly calmed down and began to report errands that they could not decide on.
Ji Shangshu took the lead to stand up.
"Your Majesty, the death of the Beidi Imperial Guard will inevitably cause turmoil on the borders of the Western Region. I suggest that additional border guards be deployed to prevent emergencies."
Regarding this proposal, if the king of Jin were present in the past, he would definitely charge into the battle, pointing out that Ji Shangshu's move was tantamount to increasing the expenditure of the treasury, and then cooperated with other courtiers to tell the Ministry of Finance what they needed to spend, putting pressure on the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Finance was forced to cry for poverty, and in the end, Ji Shangshu's proposal was stillborn.
But this time.
Don't tell me if King Jin is not here.
After the Peace Wine, Your Majesty also has the profitable business of Royal Glaze. The national treasury has no money. As long as Your Majesty nods and agrees to support war preparations from the royal private treasury, the courtiers will not dare to let go.
so.
No one was too smart to speak, but quietly stared at the person on the jade steps, the Ninth Five Lord who had the power to make decisions.
