Wang Cheng carefully took a tightly wrapped baby from Mrs. Wen's hand. Looking at the crumpled baby in the swaddle, a long-lost feeling of love and affection could not help rushing into his heart. Wang Cheng only had a daughter like Wang Yu, who was pregnant The baby in the picture is the only grandchild of Wang Cheng.
Looking at his grandson's sleeping face, he couldn't help reaching out and gently pinching the baby's chubby face. He didn't want to but woke up his grandson all at once, and burst into tears.
Wang Cheng also panicked for a moment, and the governor of Liangzhou, who dominated the northwest, was also at a loss for a moment, and he made a funny face clumsily to coax his grandson, but the grandson didn't give him any face, and cried louder instead.
It was the woman on the side who had experience, and told Wang Cheng that the baby was crying so hard because he was hungry, so Wang Cheng had to hand over his grandson to Mrs. Wen, and asked her to hurry to find a nanny.
When Granny Wen walked away with her grandson in her arms, Wang Cheng had no choice but to look away, and asked Xiao Huang with a smile, "Your Highness, have you thought about the child's name?"
Wang Cheng's meaning is obvious, if Xiao Huang hasn't decided on a name yet, his elder will have to do it for him.
But Xiao Huang nodded and said with a smile: "Before I left for Liangzhou, my father had already chosen a name for the child, called Xiao Jing."
Hearing that the child already had a name, Wang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he quickly realized that the meaning of the emperor Xiao Ji personally naming his grandchildren was not ordinary.
Before hearing it, it seemed that only Xiao Jie's children had this kind of treatment, and many ministers thought it was a sign that the emperor intended to make Xiao Jie the crown prince.
Wang Cheng never expected that his grandson would also be named by Xiao Ji.
He couldn't help but glanced at his son-in-law, and felt that Xiao Ji seemed to value this son quite a lot, but why didn't he stay in Luoyang to fight for the crown prince, instead he came to Liangzhou to be some kind of deputy governor to help him.
Wang Cheng glanced at the inner room through the screen, his daughter Wang Yu had already fallen into a deep sleep because of her exhaustion, he decided to have a chat with Xiao Huang alone, it is better to ask and clarify some things face to face.
"Your Highness, let's go out and have a private chat."
Xiao Huang nodded, and confessed a few words to the maid serving Wang Yu, then he followed Wang Cheng out of the bedroom and walked towards the yard.
Wang Cheng didn't let his own soldiers follow behind, he and Xiao Huang walked unhurriedly in the night, until there was no one around, Wang Cheng finally stopped, his eyes fixed on Xiao Huang, Shen Sheng asked: "Your Highness, there is no one else here except you and me. Your Highness might as well tell me the truth. What is the purpose of your Highness coming to Liangzhou?"
Xiao Huang did not avoid Wang Cheng's sharp eyes at all, instead he smiled lightly and said, "Luoyang is chaotic, and it's uncomfortable to stay there, but Liangzhou is a bit cleaner."
Naturally, Wang Cheng could hear the meaning behind Xiao Huang's words, his gaze was still fixed on Xiao Huang, and he continued to ask: "The chaos in Luoyang that His Highness said refers to the matter of the princes seizing the throne?"
Xiao Huang nodded lightly, acknowledging the matter openly.
However, Wang Cheng's face darkened, he seemed to be a little sullen, and said with a sneer: "Now all the princes are fighting for the position of crown prince, but His Highness has come to Liangzhou to hide for peace. I have no idea about Daning Jiangshan."
Xiao Huang suddenly showed a wry smile, shook his head and said: "Dragon ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the king will rule the world, who would not want to, but there is only one throne, and now no one in the court knows that the father is the king of Qi, and my thoughts are nothing but wishful thinking , it’s better to escape to Liangzhou and be an idle prince, so as to save one’s life in the future.”
Wang Cheng couldn't help being angry when he heard this, no wonder Xiao Huang didn't care about Liangzhou affairs after he took office for so long, it turned out that he was so disheartened, he came to Liangzhou to seek protection from his father-in-law, he and the Wang family Back then, he still thought about relying on him to keep his respect and wealth for decades.
Why did my daughter marry such a waste who would admit defeat at the slightest setback? Fortunately, my father valued him so much back then, and our Wang family invested so much money in him. Unexpectedly, he would give up on himself now.
"Your Highness, you really let me down." Wang Cheng's eyes suddenly became more serious, his face was full of anger, and he said sadly, "Your Highness surrendered so easily to the King of Qi, have you ever thought that since ancient times, success and defeat have always been kings? Kou, His Highness wants to give up fighting for the country, but the King of Qi may not let His Highness go, and in the future, not only His Highness may lose his life, but Yu'er and Jing'er may also die."
Xiao Huang sighed for a long time, with a look of pain on his face, he said helplessly: "Father-in-law, why do I want to accept my fate, but I found that I really can't beat King Qi no matter what, since King Qi died After leaving Lin Yiguo, the father has already appointed Su Hong as Shang Shu Zuo PU She, and vigorously reused the disciples of the Su family, which is obviously paving the way for the formal appointment of the King of Qi as the crown prince."
"Presumably Wang Xiang should have told his father-in-law that the Wang family has given up on me and has gone to support King Han. Tell me, what else can I use to fight King Qi now!"
Wang Cheng was also speechless for a while, yes, the Wang family has already decided to give up Xiao Huang, what else would he have to fight against Xiao Jie!
Wang Cheng pondered for a while, and then directly showed his cards: "But my father told me that it is His Highness who has always maintained a stance towards the Wang family, and always contradicts him, so he thinks that even if His Highness is supported to ascend the throne in the future, His Highness will not love us. Therefore, the Wang family decided to abandon His Highness and support the King of Han instead."
Xiao Huang shook his head and said: "This is the misunderstanding between me and Wang Xiang. I maintain a close attitude with Wang's family, because I don't want to fall into the truth of other people, and disagreeing with Wang Xiang is a big misunderstanding. If Wang Xiang listens to me If you don’t let the party members of the DPRK and the Central Committee act as leaders in everything, there won’t be so many officials who will be demoted, exiled and dismissed, which will greatly weaken the power of the entire royal party.”
Wang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't seem to have thought that Xiao Huang would beat up his father Wang Chong.
But thinking carefully about what Xiao Huang said, it seems that it is not completely unreasonable, his father has repeatedly made foolish tricks for some reason these years, which caused the royal party's power to almost collapse, and he was left alone in Liangzhou to support him.
But now that things have come to this point, there is no point in blaming Xiao Huang or his father, the most urgent thing is to make up for it as soon as possible and restore the Wang family's decline.
The most important thing is that Xiao Jie must not be allowed to become the crown prince smoothly. After all, the Wang family betrayed Wang Guifei, causing her to commit suicide. Once Xiao Jie succeeds to the throne in the future, he will never let the Wang family go.
Wang Cheng also didn't think Han Wang Xiao Xun could beat Xiao Xun, and he was afraid that the capital invested by the Wang family on Xiao Xun would eventually be lost.
Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the son-in-law in front of him. Since Xiao Ji was able to give his son a name, it showed that he still valued this son in his heart.
If you want to prevent Xiao Jie from becoming the prince, it is more appropriate to continue to support Xiao Huang.
What's more, once Xiao Huang is supported to sit on the throne in the future, his daughter Wang Yu will be the queen, his grandson Xiao Jing will be the prince, and he, Wang Cheng, will be the most dependent relative of the two emperors of Daning.
At this moment, Wang Cheng made a decision against his ancestor... no, against his father's will, he wanted to continue to support Xiao Huang.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought that since the king of Qi gained the emperor's esteem for destroying Linyi, have you ever thought that as long as you make greater contributions than King Qi, you will surely impress the emperor? Maybe the prince that the emperor wants to register is you."
Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then he seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and said: "If you want to make more contributions than King Qi, you must attack the Western Regions."
Wang Cheng was also taken aback, then overjoyed, that's right, there are many small countries in the Western Regions, which one is not stronger than the Linyi Kingdom, if Xiao Huang can lead troops to sweep the Western Regions, it will not be much more credit than Xiao Jie for destroying a single Linyi Kingdom?
But Wang Cheng still had some doubts: "Your Highness, the countries in the Western Regions are not difficult to fight. I am just worried that Dihu will intervene. They are not easy to deal with."
Xiao Huang also nodded, and said solemnly: "My lord father-in-law is right, Di Hu is really not easy to fight, this battle must be well-prepared, and there must be no mistakes."
Wang Cheng frowned: "In your opinion, how many soldiers and horses are needed?"
Xiao Huang pondered for a long time, looked at Wang Cheng and said: "If we want to be safe, we need about [-] elite soldiers, and the Dihu people are good at riding and shooting, we need at least [-] cavalry."
Wang Cheng was secretly startled, one hundred thousand elite soldiers, this is one-third of the strength of the Northwest Frontier Army.
But he also understands that what Xiao Huang said is right, the Dihu people are not easy to deal with, and it is really necessary to prepare a hundred thousand troops to be safe.
"Your Highness, can you guarantee that if I help you this time, you will live up to the Wang family, me, and Yu'er?" Wang Cheng stared into Xiao Huang's eyes, as if he wanted to use this to see through his heart. .
Xiao Huang's face was calm, without any hesitation, he said: "I, Xiao Huang, can swear to the sky that I will never fail the Wang family, my father-in-law, and Yu'er in the future. If there is any disobedience, the sky will strike me with thunder."
Seeing Xiao Huang making such a poisonous oath, Wang Cheng finally let go of his heart, nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will report to the imperial court, requesting an order to dispatch [-] elite troops to conquer the countries in the Western Regions, and tell Your Highness that you are the main general."
Xiao Huang was overjoyed, quickly bowed to Wang Cheng and said: "Thank you, Father-in-law, I will definitely live up to expectations."
Wang Cheng laughed out loud, but he didn't notice the fleeting smile in Xiao Huang's eyes...
Looking at his grandson's sleeping face, he couldn't help reaching out and gently pinching the baby's chubby face. He didn't want to but woke up his grandson all at once, and burst into tears.
Wang Cheng also panicked for a moment, and the governor of Liangzhou, who dominated the northwest, was also at a loss for a moment, and he made a funny face clumsily to coax his grandson, but the grandson didn't give him any face, and cried louder instead.
