Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 2776 2778 [Blessed people do not need to be busy]

   "Yi Wang?!" Li Xi immediately looked at Xiang Nan.

  It seems to be pondering, but in fact, what Li Feng mentioned is exactly what he wanted.

   "King Yi is good at fighting, and he won a complete victory in the battle of Danchi this time. He is really the best person to manage Danchi." Li Feng talked eloquently.

   "Father, although my son was lucky enough to win the battle, but relying on his father's majesty to protect him, and the court's powerful soldiers, I know that I can't take on this important task.

  However, when it comes to the imperial court's lack of understanding of the Western Territory, I have a humble opinion. Erchen has spent a lot of time in the western region, and has a good understanding of the folk customs of the western region.

  I beg my father to allow me to revise the local chronicles of the Western Territory and describe the situation in the Western Territory in detail so that the imperial court can govern the Western Territory. If things go on like this, officials can learn about the affairs of the Western Territory through the local chronicles, and in a few years, all officials will be familiar with the Western Territory! Xiang Nan got up immediately and said.

  Seeing what he said, Li Xi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "King Yi has gone to experience it, and he has calmed down a lot. What he played just now...is right!"

  Although he really wanted to send Xiang Nan to the western region to serve, so as to clear the way for Li Chengye to ascend the throne in the future. Just like in the play, before Li Chengyin ascended the throne, he also sent King Rong and King Yun to Jiangnan and Shuzhou.

  However, Xiang Nan is also his son after all, he doesn't want to make things too ugly.

   But Xiang Nan's proposal to edit the book is acceptable to him.

   Firstly, the revision of the Local Chronicles of the Western Territory will help the court understand and govern the Western Territory; secondly, if Xiang Nan goes to revise the book, it will be regarded as far away from the center of power and will not pose a threat to Li Chengye.

  After the compilation of "Western Territory Local Chronicles", he naturally had an excuse to send Xiang Nan out.

   "I'm a little tired, let's discuss the selection of the Marquis of Zhenbei later." Li Yu then said, "Retire!"

  Everyone saluted one after another and sent the emperor back to the palace respectfully.

  …

  Xiang Nan then settled down to study in the Hongwen Library, and didn't care about the selection of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

  In the play, Li Chengyin cheated the world and helped Zhao Jingyu seek the position of Marquis of Zhenbei. But at the same time, he offended the three major forces of Li Chengye, Gao Ming, and Zhang Meiniang, making all three of them wary of him from now on.

   Moreover, Li Chengyin originally wanted to put a nail in Danchi, so that he could better control the Western Territory. But in fact, Zhao Jingyu is a double-faced, unreliable treacherous villain.

  He never offered to help Li Chengyin. Even when Li Chengyin was framed by Li Chengye, he even asked the Zhao family to draw a clear line with him.

  So Li Chengyin's series of operations not only did not gain any benefits, but also offended Gao Xiang and the empress, and made the prince stare at him.

  That's why Xiang Nan didn't have the heart to do such a thankless task.

  And he knew that Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang were more anxious than him.

  Because once he is sent to the western region to be the Marquis of Zhenbei, Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang will have no hope at all. Once the emperor Li Yu died and the new emperor Li Chengye took office, the Gao family and the Zhang family would repeat the tragedy of the Gu and Chen families.

  Therefore, they will definitely not let him go to the western border, and will definitely try their best to stop him.

  So Xiang Nan doesn't have to rush at all, everything has his own opinions above Ming's.

  …

   Sure enough, two days later, Gao Ming invited Xiang Nan to the mansion.

   "Come on, have King Yi's favorite dessert." He greeted with a smile, and soon the servant brought walnut cakes.

   "Thank you, Uncle. This walnut cake really suits my taste. It's crispy and soft, sweet but not greasy." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The pastry chefs in my palace don't have this skill."

   "If Your Highness likes it, I'll send the pastry chef to your house." Gao Ming smiled.

   "Gentlemen don't take what others like, how dare I take it from my uncle." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

   "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite." Gao Ming waved his hands.

   "Since that's the case, then I will thank Uncle." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "Yes." Gao Ming nodded, "I heard that the daughter of General Zhao Jingyu admires His Highness very much?"

   "It's true." Xiang Nan was taken aback, then nodded.

   "What's your impression of her, Your Highness?" Gao Ming asked again with a smile.

   "Miss Zhao is young and beautiful, dignified and elegant, and she is very kind." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Uncle asked why?"

   "I intend to be your matchmaker and let her be your side concubine, what do you think?" Gao Ming explained.

  Xiang Nan was taken aback, and realized that Gao Ming wanted to bind Zhao Jingyu through a marriage relationship and let him serve him.

  In the play, Gao Ming once wanted to recommend Zhao Jingyu to be the Marquis of Zhenbei, but was cut off by Li Chengyin. He thought that his third son, Gao Zhen, and Zhao Jingyu's son, Zhao Shixuan, were jealous of Mingyue Mingyue's rivalry, which led to his failure to win over Zhao Jingyu, so he beat Gao Zhen severely for this.

   "Miss Zhao to be my side concubine?!" Xiang Nan pondered for a moment, then said, "Uncle, as far as I know, Zhao Jingyu has always hoped that his daughter can be the second brother's side concubine."

  Li Chengye is now the crown prince, as his side concubine, at least he will be able to be a noble concubine in the future. Even with better luck, it is not impossible to be a queen.

  But Xiang Nan is still just a prince, whether he can become a prince is still a question, how can he persuade Zhao Jingyu to give his daughter to him as a side concubine? !

   "It's good to be the prince's side concubine, but the prince can't guarantee that he can become the Marquis of Zhenbei." Gao Ming said quietly.

   "Uncle wants Zhao Jingyu to be Marquis of Zhenbei?!" Xiang Nan said with a look of surprise, "Uncle, as far as I know, Zhao Jingyu is ruthless and ungrateful, and he is not a person worth supporting."

   Zhao Jingyu's official voice is not very good. Back then, he got the opportunity to conquer the Southwest by relying on his superiority. But after being made a general of Fuguo, his tail immediately stood up, and he no longer listened to Gao Ming's orders.

   Because of this, he was recalled to the capital by Gao Ming, and he was idle for several years. From the majestic Southwest King to an idle minister. Because of this, he also became a joke in the capital's officialdom.

   "That's why I suggested His Highness take his daughter as a side concubine." Gao Ming explained, "Zhao Jingyu only has this daughter, so it is impossible not to think about her."

  Xiang Nan blinked his eyes, knowing that Gao Ming was putting himself in front of others.

   Gao Ming loved his four children deeply, so he thought that Zhao Jingyu would also take care of Zhao Sesel and serve Xiang Nan for her.

   But in fact Zhao Jingyu is just a power animal. For him, the happiness of his children is not as important as power.

  In the play, Zhao Sese was driven crazy by Li Chengyin, but he still worked for Li Chengyin. He also believed that after Qu Xiaofeng fled back to Xizhou, his daughter Zhao Sese would become the queen, and he would also become the head of the country, thus replacing Gao Ming and becoming a new generation of powerful ministers.

  Therefore, for Zhao Jingyu, even if he married his daughter to Xiang Nan, as long as Xiang Nan did not bring him benefits, he would not serve Xiang Nan.

   On the contrary, if Li Chengye gave him enough benefits, he could even sacrifice his son and daughter.

  Therefore, Gao Ming's calculation was wrong.

  However, Xiang Nan considered that this matter was not harmful to him, so he agreed.
