Empress Xue did not say more about this, but just said once again: "Prince, since the Emperor has instructed the martial arts pavilion to set the rules for this competition, there is no need to worry too much."
Seeing that Zheng Zheng was still hesitating, she added lightly: "At this moment, if you don't advance, you will retreat."
Can the prince retire? Of course not.
The prince can be deposed and die, but he cannot retreat!
When Zheng Zheng heard this, his expression became a little ugly again, but he was speechless.
"Prince, I am not being alarmist, this is the truth." Queen Xue said, "In the past, Jiang and Chang Ding were blocking the front. You could hide behind and pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but what about now?"
She didn't know when Chang Ding began to notice something was wrong, but now, she was very sure that Chang Ding must have united with the Jiang family to fight back.
Otherwise, the situation would not be like this.
She was keenly aware that Chang Ding was the main reason for this series of changes, and everything should have started when he left the palace and opened his mansion.
In order to be in control of the future situation, she must eliminate the hidden danger of Changding, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
Her intuition has always been accurate and has helped her avoid risks countless times in the past, helping her become the queen of a country.
Now, she won't ignore this intuition.
"Besides, the soldier following Chang Ding, named Cao Ning, can also test its validity to see if it can be used."
This chess piece was sent from the Anlebo Mansion, and Queen Xue did everything she could to do it.
She has never truly trusted the Anlebo Mansion, and naturally she will not trust the people sent by the Anlebo Mansion.
But it is indeed difficult to find a good chess piece like Cao Ning. Whether it is true or false, she can give it a try.
Anyway, there is no loss to the prince.
"Prince, even if you are not interested in Chang Ding, it is still worthwhile to use this actual battle to test the strength of that chess piece. If he sincerely surrenders, then it is equivalent to having eyes and ears around Chang Ding; if he has ulterior motives, then You can just throw it away.”
These words once again touched Zheng Zheng's heart.
Of course he was very concerned about Cao Ning, otherwise he would not have sent Chief Shi Menghesong to deal with the matter.
Just as the queen mother said, the actual battle in Wuge happened to be an opportunity to test Cao Ning.
Whether it's true or false, it doesn't do any harm to him.
"Mother, I know this. I will discuss it with Mr. Huang and make a long-term plan." Zheng Zheng said.
He did trust his mother and recognized her abilities, but she lived deep in the harem, and he was still prepared to discuss matters with Huang Pushan regarding the affairs of the front court, especially those related to the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army.
Queen Xue glanced at him, feeling slightly displeased in her heart again, and then nodded.
Huang Pushan is the prince's son, so it is natural for the prince to trust him. However, when it comes to grasping the emperor's heart, Empress Xue believes that no one can surpass her.
She also believed that Huang Pushan would make the same judgment as her in the end.
It would be a middle strategy to eradicate Ding before he was fully fledged and then severely damage the Jiang family, but now she could only adopt this middle strategy.
As for the best solution...
From the moment Chang Xiang asked the emperor to cancel the engagement, there was no good idea for her.
All the responses after this are just middle strategies.
After Chang Ding is gone, she may be able to come up with a better plan.
But that's all for later.
In the Jiang's house in Tao Zhu Lane, Qian Shengxue put down the thin letter in his hand and said, "You all know what Xiao Jiu said. From now on, everyone should do their own work, and we must not let anything happen to Xiao Jiu."
"Yes, mother."
"Yes, Grandma."
Jiang Yan and Jiang Shaoyuan replied in unison, both looking very serious.
Jiang Shaoyuan was the youngest person present, and his cultivation in Chengfu was not deep enough. He frowned and said with a slight worry: "Grandma, my grandson always feels that things
It won't be that simple... We don't have much power in the military. Do we need to ask the Tao family for help? "
The Tao family has already formed an alliance with the Jiang family, and they are helping each other. Since the Jiang family has no one in the army, it is the same thing to ask the Tao family to take action.
Although the Jiang family has money, money is not necessarily the most useful to the forces in the military.
In the military, what really works is the families of generals like the Tao family.
This time, after returning from Danqiu Racecourse, he thought so even more.
Before Qian Shengxue could speak, Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Xiao Miao'er, who said we don't have any influence in the army? The money we scattered on Jiannan Road was not in vain."
He has been a wealthy man for so many years and has given away countless amounts of money, so he knows very well the power of money.
Even in a place like the military, although money can't get through everything, it can still be used to ensure Xiaojiu's chances of winning in this actual battle.
"Second uncle..." Jiang Shaoyuan subconsciously took the wad of banknotes handed over by Jiang Yan and was speechless for a moment.
After a pause, he nodded and said, "Second uncle, you are right."
Even he couldn't help but reach out to pick up these banknotes, let alone other people?
However, how to use the money, where to use it, and how to really help his princess cousin still needs to be carefully considered.
How could anyone be like my second uncle who would give out a wad of banknotes at every turn?
At that time, if the emperor was so angry that he said, "How dare a common man reward the emperor's army", wouldn't the Jiang family be doomed?
Jiang Shaoyuan looked at his grandfather who was full of Jinge spirit, his cold and aloof grandmother, and his second uncle who was too handsome to be alive. Seeing the disapproving expressions on their faces, he began to deeply doubt whether he had thought wrong. .
Could it be that this is really not a big deal?
Did he, a member of the Jiang family, really underestimate the power of Yin Liang?
Thinking like this, he quickly stuffed the stack of banknotes into his sleeves, and like everyone else, they all showed a deep expression of disapproval.
That's all, he really doesn't need to worry too much, his princess cousin will take action anyway.
All he has to do is spend money where it should be spent according to the arrangement of the princess's cousin.
Having said that, the princess cousin... should have no problem entering the top three in the first field, right?
The facts told him that there really was no problem!
While the Jiang family was secretly preparing, Zheng Ji also went through all the obstacles and led Chu Feiyuan and Cao Ning into the last martial arts field - the A field.
Although it was the last martial arts field, the journey was incredibly smooth. It was not even considered a strenuous fight, let alone thrilling.
At this time, news of Wuge's actual battle finally came out.
This time, the actual martial arts battle was to go to Hebei Province to suppress bandits!
"The countdown to volume 2 is on."
