The Invincible Sixth Prince

After they sat down in the inner hall, the two of them had no more reservations and started chatting freely.

After Qin Liugan told Yun Zheng in detail about Emperor Wen's physical condition, he said, "Before coming here, I went to see His Majesty, who asked me to bring a message to Your Highness."

"What?"

Yunzheng was curious.

Qin Liugan said sternly: "Love is long, but heroes are short-tempered!"

Yun Zheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this.

What does Father mean by this?

Could it be that he was using what happened between him and Concubine Jing to advise me not to be burdened by personal affairs?

Or, are you worried that Jiayao will become the second Concubine Jing in the future?

The night before Emperor Wen left Dingbei, he also reminded him implicitly that if Jia Yao could not surrender, he should give her a quick death.

Considering the words that Emperor Wen asked Qin Liugan to bring to him this time, he couldn't help but suspect that Emperor Wen was advising him to get rid of Jia Yao as soon as possible to avoid being burdened by personal affairs in the future.

Yun Zheng was puzzled and glanced at Qin Liugan again, "Is that all you have to say?"

"Ah."

Qin Liu dared to nod slightly.

Yun Zheng was even more puzzled and asked, "Duke Rong, what do you think father meant by this?"

Qin Liu dared to grin, "The emperor's intention is hard to predict. I am just a rough man, how can I guess what the emperor means!"

"..."

Yunzheng was speechless.

chuff?

If he was really a rough man, he would probably be the only king of a different surname in Daqian by now!

This old rogue is still pretending to be a rude person in front of me?

"Father, have you been affected by the incident with Concubine Jing and are you worried that Jia Yao will become the second Concubine Jing in the future? Are you advising me not to let my love troubles get in the way and to find a chance to kill Jia Yao to eliminate future troubles?"

Yun Zheng finally asked the question that was in his mind.

"I really don't know!"

Qin Liugan's head shook like a rattle, with a look of confusion on his face.

Old gangster!

"Duke Rong, can't you give me a hint?"

Yun Zheng looked at Qin Liugan helplessly, "You don't have any clues. I don't even know if my guess is right!"

"This... there's nothing I can do about this!"

Qin Liugan looked back at Yun Zheng with an innocent face: "The emperor only asked me to say this and didn't give me any hints. If I say something wrong and you misinterpret the emperor's meaning, I will be blamed for it!"

Looking at the old rogue's appearance, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be speechless.

Damn it!

I hate people who only speak half the words!

"Forget it, I'll just assume that this is what Father meant!"

Yun Zheng was too lazy to bother about it anymore. "Since that's the case, I'll ask Duke Rong to tell my father a message for me: I was born a layman."

A layman?

Qin Liugan sighed secretly in his heart.

This Sixth Prince is actually a smart man.

But, he is also a stubborn person.

Qin Liugan didn't say much, but nodded solemnly: "I will definitely convey your words word for word!"

"Thank you, Duke Rong."

Yun Zheng smiled and turned to ask him about the recent situation in the court.

Speaking of this, Qin Liugan immediately opened up.

Although the case of Concubine Jing has ended, its impact has not ended.

Many families and clans in Dengzhou and Yuzhou were exterminated, which made families and clans in other places feel tremendous pressure.

Although the case of Concubine Jing is true, many families and clans should be suspicious that Yun Li wants to completely eradicate these families and clans step by step.

After all, it was no secret that Yun Li suppressed the aristocratic families and clans.

Nowadays, every family and clan is in danger, and no one knows when they will be exterminated by the imperial court.

Under this high pressure, the aristocratic families and clans are always tied to a string. When the string is stretched to a certain extent, these aristocratic families and clans will either weaken themselves in order to protect themselves, or give it a try.

They understood this truth, and Yun Li also understood this truth.

Therefore, Yun Li would not dare to mobilize troops from the south unless it was absolutely necessary.

In addition, Yun Li also intends to promote more generals from poor backgrounds, and step by step drive out the aristocratic families, clans, and forces from the army. At the same time, he will step up the preparation of an elite army, and plans to hold a separate military examination next spring.

However, the matter of the martial arts examination is still under discussion and has not been finalized.

After listening to Qin Liugan's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but secretly sigh that the third brother still has a sense of crisis!

Martial arts examination?

If the third brother holds a martial arts examination, he can send some people to help make the examination more successful!

Yun Zheng pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "In the case of Concubine Jing, the third brother must have gained a lot from the confiscation of the property, right?"

"It should be quite a few."

Qin Liu dared to grin, "But I don't know the exact amount."

He knew that Yun Zheng asked the court for Minzhou because he was eyeing the spoils of Yun Li's property.

He was almost standing in front of Yun Li and shouting: Divide the spoils!

"Where are Yuan Cong and his son?"

Yun Zheng began to care about these two again.

Speaking of Yuan Cong and his son, Qin Liugan also showed a smile on his face, "They made great contributions in solving the case of Concubine Jing. Yuan Cong was promoted to the rank of General Zhongwu, a fourth-rank general, with the power of a third-rank general, leading 18,000 troops. Yuan Gui seemed to have been promoted to a fifth-rank guerrilla general..."

Listening to Qin Liugan's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but admire the courage of the third brother.

After all, Yuan Cong was the general of the Left Tunwei Army and led an army of 18,000, so it was not a big deal.

How dare he promote a good-for-nothing like Yuan Gui to the position of general?

Although he was just a general from the fifth rank, he was still a general after all!

I have to say, the treatment of confidants is different!

This time, the father and son have made a great contribution.

If I have the chance, I must ask this father and son to give me some thank-you money.

Yun Zheng smiled and asked again: "By the way, did the third brother set a bottom line for you in the negotiations?"

Qin Liu dared to look at Yun Zheng with a smile: "Are you trying to find out my true colors?"

Yun Zheng laughed, "I just don't want to beat around the bush. What's there to be said about us?"

Qin Liugan: "I'll tell you the truth, don't cheat me!"

"Look at what you said. I can cheat anyone but I can never cheat you, Duke Rong!" Yun Zheng promised solemnly.

"That's pretty much it!"

Qin Liugan smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "The bottom line of the prince is that you can agree to appoint Tuohuan as the governor of Minzhou, but the list of officials for each county that you have drawn up will be rejected!"

sure!

The third brother's bargaining skills have improved a lot!

Only Tuohuan was appointed as the governor of Minzhou, while officials of other counties remained from the imperial court.

In this way, Tuohuan's title of Minzhou governor would be unworthy of the title. Moreover, in order to control Minzhou, they would continue to fight with the officials of Minzhou, thereby consuming their energy and making them have no time to cause trouble for the court.

Kill two birds with one stone!

I don’t know whether this was an idea given by Xu Shifu to the third brother or the third brother thought of it himself.

Yun Zheng secretly laughed in his heart, and confessed to Qin Liu: "Actually, I didn't want Minzhou, I just wanted the third brother to give me seven or eight million taels of silver to make up for the tax revenue I lost in Fuzhou..."

"How much... how much?"

Qin Liugan's face twitched fiercely, "Seven or eight million taels of silver? You really dare to think so!"
