"Your Highness, this question is really difficult to answer." Mr. Xu pondered for a moment, "No one can guess His Majesty's thoughts, and the same is true for Li Qian. And Your Highness, don't forget, if you want to solve the problem of the Western Qiang Kingdom, you must also You can’t avoid one person.”
"You mean the Zhenyuan Hou Dou family?" Prince Jing raised his eyebrows.
Zhenyuan Marquis Dou Huaishan is the nephew of the current Queen Mother, and the Dou family is a prominent family in Xizhou and has a very high prestige in Xizhou.
Xizhou is bordering the Western Qiang Kingdom, so over the years, Dacheng and the Western Qiang Kingdom have been able to reach some kind of agreement, and Zhenyuan Hou Dou Huaishan has played a major role in this.
However, to be more precise, the Dou family should have monopolized the diplomatic relations between Dacheng and the Western Qiang Kingdom.
Because the Western Qiang Kingdom only recognizes the Dou family, no one sent by the court can be useful in every negotiation. However, as long as the Dou family's people come forward, the matter can be resolved smoothly.
"To put it nicely, the Dou family has contributed to the stability of the Western Qiang Kingdom, but to put it badly, it is just a threat to the bandits!"
Xu Laodao said, "The Xiqiang people listen to the Dou family so much. If the Dou family has any different intentions, His Highness should be able to imagine what the consequences will be. Moreover, Dou Huaishan is just a marquis, and his arrogance has to match His Majesty's. Every time he travels, he must be without a hundred people." Riding out of the way, I believe His Majesty would have been disgusted with it for a long time."
Prince Jing pondered for a moment, "Mr. Xu means that my father also wants to take this opportunity to deal with the Dou family?"
"Mr. Dou is difficult to deal with." Mr. Xu shook his head and said, "No matter how much His Majesty dislikes Mister Dou, he will not do anything to Mister Dou."
"If Li Qian can solve the problem of the Western Qiang Kingdom, then the Dou family will not have such a big role. Why can't they be dealt with?" Prince Jing couldn't help but ask.
"With the Queen Mother here, Your Majesty will never be able to touch the Dou family. At most, it will only sound the alarm for the Dou family." Xu Lao said.
"The imperial grandmother will pass away one day." Prince Jing said.
"In addition, Your Majesty has another concern, that is, if you move the Dou family, you will also force the Dou family to rebel. The Dou family has a lot of influence in Xizhou. Once the Dou family is really forced to rebel, what threat will it be? It's bigger than the Western Qiang Kingdom." Xu Lao said.
Prince Jing sighed, "Dacheng is really facing internal and external troubles now."
"Your Highness, you don't need to think so much. You have to fight for what you have to fight for. Only when you sit in a certain position can you do more things!" Xu Lao said.
Prince Jing also nodded, "Yes, you can only do certain things in a certain position!"
When Li Ran left the palace, he happened to meet Dou Huaishan, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who came to see Li Yuanxian.
"The fifth prince has come to see the emperor." Dou Huaishan said with a smile when he saw Li Ran.
Although he looked very friendly, his eyes showed that he didn't take the prince seriously.
"It turns out that Marquis Dou returned to Beijing today." Li Ran responded lightly and left.
Dou Huaishan looked at Li Ran with a smile and shook his head, "There is no progress at all. No wonder he is the most useless among the princes."
Then he came to Li Yuanxian Hall.
The whole person seemed to have changed. He became extremely humble. He knelt on the ground and bent his whole body.
"Your Majesty, Dou Huaishan, pays homage to your Majesty!"
Li Yuanxian came over personally to support him.
"Mr. Dou, please get up quickly."
"I'm scared, I'm guilty!" Dou Huaishan did not get up, and even lowered his body even lower, with his face almost touching the ground.
"Mr. Dou, what are you guilty of? Why can't you get up and talk about it?" Li Yuanxian said.
