At that time, there were already rumors in Beijing that Xiao Jining transferred him and the Eighth Prince out of the capital because he was afraid of the Seventh Prince. The disappearance of the Seventh Prince on the way back to Beijing was also said to be the assassin sent by Xiao Jining to kill him.

All kinds of signs indicate that there is a "contradiction" between Xiao Jining and the Seventh Prince that is bound to erupt.

The Eighth Prince grew up with Xiao Jining and the Seventh Prince. Before Xiao Jining came to the throne, the three of them had a strong relationship.However, the world is changing and people's hearts are changing. No one can be sure whether the Eighth Prince will treat Xiao Jining as before.

So Jing Yuan's move is tantamount to betting on whether the Eighth Prince will choose the Seventh Prince or Xiao Jining.

When Xiao Jining saw the appearance of the Eighth Prince, he felt strange in his heart, but now he can think about Qing Jingyuan's intentions, but there is still one thing he doesn't know, so he asked Jingyuan: "But if Brother Eighth Prince...does he... What about leaving Beijing?"

To leave the capital is to save him; if not to leave the capital, that is to stay in the capital with the Seventh Prince.

"He is a prince who has never actually fought, can he be able to command thousands of troops just by relying on a general order of hussars?" Jing Yuan heard Xiao Jining ask this, and shook his head with a smile, "Concubine Zhen will give orders in advance, I will also. I have already issued an order in the forbidden army camp that no matter what happens after seven days, I will leave Beijing for Mount Li. If someone comes with the order of the Hussar General, and the order is contradicted by me, you can only listen to me. make."

"Taking a step back, even if these forbidden soldiers don't listen to me, it's fine."

Jing Yuan lowered his eyes, reached out to take the teacup in front of Xiao Jining, dipped his index finger in some tea, and drew on the palace chariot table: "There are 20 troops stationed in Beijing, [-] Jingyue, and [-] for me, but why is Li Xinggong only Fifty thousand elite soldiers? Haven't you been surprised, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jining was slightly startled.

Yes, there are only [-] troops stationed in Beijing in the Lixing Palace, so what about the remaining [-] elite soldiers?They didn't seem to have appeared from the beginning to the end—no, they appeared in the end, and they appeared behind the nearly [-] forbidden troops led by the Eighth Prince.

Jingyuan drew a simple map of Lishan Mountain on the desk with tea, and said to Xiao Jining: "Lishan Mountain is steep and rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It took him three days to attack the Jingaxe, but he only attacked the mountainside. However, the casualties of our soldiers are still under my control and predictions. I have [-] elite soldiers stationed at Mount Li, enough to last until the arrival of the border army, and the remaining [-] elite soldiers—”

"I ordered them to garrison the capital and supervise the forbidden army. If the seven princes and the eight princes disagree...then they will be killed."

The moment the last four words were spoken, the map of Chashui Lishan Mountain on the desk was also completely circled by Jing Yuan using his finger as a pen.He raised his eyes suddenly and stared at Xiao Jining, his voice was gentle, but concealed some sinister stubbornness: "Ning Ning, I said, unless I die, I will not let you die."

As for the life and death of the Eighth Prince and the Seventh Prince, Jing Yuan actually never considered it.Even in his plan, he arranged the chance of life and the way of death for the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, but all of this was for Xiao Jining.

After listening to Jing Yuan's words, Xiao Jining stared blankly at the map on the table. The map drawn by the tea water would gradually disappear as the water dries up, and finally disappeared until no trace could be seen anymore.

Up to now, Xiao Jining is also somewhat confused about whether Jingyue's mutiny and Concubine Zhen's calculations were accidental, or whether it was inevitable caused by Jingyuan's contribution to the flames.

He opened his lips and said softly: "Sometimes, I really feel..."

Jing Yuan's expression did not change, he stared at Xiao Jining with deep eyes, and asked him, "What do you think?"

Xiao Jining raised his eyes to meet his, and said seriously: "I think you should be the real emperor."

Xu Shi's answer was not what Jing Yuan expected, so he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't think you are the Seventh Emperor brother? Many ministers in the court are looking forward to him becoming the emperor. "

"Brother Seventh Emperor is resolute and upright, sticks to his original heart, and indeed has the heart of a benevolent emperor. If he is an emperor, he must be a wise emperor." Xiao Jining thought for a moment, and finally said, "But...he is not as good as you."

Even if Xiao Jining knew that Jingyuan was good at calculating people's hearts and could calculate all the affairs of the court, he never thought that Jingyuan could do such calculations in one step and three times, and everyone would be played by him in the palm of his hand.

He can be an emperor, and the seventh prince can also be an emperor. Even four, five, and eight princes can be randomly selected, and they can also be emperors. It's just the difference between whether the emperor is good or not, and whether his political performance is outstanding or mediocre.

But if Jingyuan is an emperor, he must be an emperor through the ages.

"Does Ning Ning admire me?" Jing Yuan laughed when he heard the words, but he didn't laugh because Xiao Jining praised him as suitable to be an emperor, at most, he was happy to hear Xiao Jining admit that the Seventh Prince was inferior to him.

Looking at the smile on his face, Xiao Jining felt shocked and somewhat bewildered, but he couldn't get serious anymore, and joked with him: "Not really, I'm very good too."

Jing Yuan let out a soft snort, raised his hand to caress Xiao Jining's side face, finally held the back of his head close to him, touched his forehead with his lips, and said: "Ning Ning, you are wrong, I am not suitable to be an emperor, In my eyes, there are no people in the world, and in this regard, I am not as good as your Seventh Brother, nor you."

"My vision is too small, I can't see into the Great Xiao Jiangshan, I can only accommodate you."

Xiao Jining pursed the corners of her lips, raised her hand to hold Jing Yuan's lapel, and whispered: "Me too."

As a result, the two people who couldn't see the Great Xiao Jiangshan in their eyes finally returned to the Great Xiao Palace, and entered the Golden Dragon Palace where only the master of the Great Xiao Jiangshan could live.

Although the mutiny in Li Xinggong had subsided, there were still many things to deal with in the future.

For example, how to deal with Jingyue, the fief that Xiao Jining promised to the Seventh Prince, the two new concubines who entered the palace, and many things that Qiao Xi was injured for saving Xiao Jining.

Jingyue's mutiny was intended to usurp the throne. Putting others on others is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, but when it comes to Jingyue, there is a very difficult problem-the person who captured him was Jingyuan.

The ministers who did not support Xiao Jining's party must hope that Xiao Jining can punish the Jing family severely, and it is best to punish Jing Yuan as well. After all, Jing Yuan seems to be more dangerous than Jing Yue.

In the end, Wen Yu came up with a solution: cut off Jingyue's title and behead it for public display, Mrs. Jing would be deprived of her royal title, and the descendants of the Jing family would not be allowed to be officials within three generations—including Jingyuan.

That is to say, except for Jingyuan who can continue to serve in official positions, including his son and grandson, none of them can enter the official position.

The ancients paid attention to children and grandchildren sharing the glory, and this kind of punishment can be said to be extremely severe. Even if Xiao Jining knew that Jing Yuan would not have any descendants after being with him, he still couldn't bear it.

In the end, Jingyuan was very satisfied with the result, Xiao Jining refused, and he even went to Xiao Jining specifically to say that he wanted this punishment.

Xiao Jining didn't even understand Jing Yuan.

But Jing Yuan said a word to him: "The Jing family's generation will perish, so where are the children and grandchildren?"

After finishing speaking, Jing Yuan saw that Xiao Jining's expression was a little strange, so he changed the subject and said, "I'm going to rob the prison."

For things that Jing Yuan doesn't want to explain in depth, he always responds with ambiguous answers, or directly diverts from the discussion. When Xiao Jining sees this, he knows that Jing Yuan doesn't want to talk about it anymore, and doesn't want to talk about it anymore. He wanted to let him know, so Xiao Jining didn't ask any more questions.

Just as he would not tell Jing Yuan the secret of where he came from, Jing Yuan should have some little secrets of his own.

He just followed Jing Yuan's words and pretended to be angry, and said to him: "General Jing, what are you talking about? Is it appropriate for you to say such words to me?"

"Then pretend your Majesty didn't hear it." Jing Yuan said with a smile, "I will also pretend that I don't know about you and Madam Li."

Xiao Jining argued: "What can I do with her?"

Madam Li is Qiao Xi, no matter how much Jing Yuan and Xiao Jining doubt her identity, on the surface she has made meritorious deeds in saving her, and she has to be rewarded for her merits.Xiao Jining didn't want to reward her too much, so he only gave her the title of "Li", and then rewarded her with some jewelry and jade.

After Qiao Xi entered the palace, she didn't know whether she was busy recuperating her injuries or something else, but she didn't hang out in front of Xiao Jining.

Jumping up and down in front of Xiao Jining was the Empress Dowager Chun and Shu Jieyu.

Shu Jieyu's petty temper was of course because she was dissatisfied with the fact that she was Xiao Jining's cousin, but the concubine with the lowest rank in the palace, and even if she entered the palace, Xiao Jining couldn't even sit in her palace, This Jieyu was different from what she had imagined, and Ding Shuxue still couldn't laugh even in the luxurious house.

Logically speaking, the Empress Dowager Chun, the aunt who supported her back then in Li Xing Palace, would also help her now.

But unfortunately, it is not because of her, but because of Concubine Zhen that Queen Mother Chun is making trouble now.

Xiao Jining did what he said, he really pointed out a fief to the Seventh Prince, which is Huaining Prefecture next to the south of the Yangtze River.Although Huaining Prefecture is not as rich as Jiangnan, and even a little poor, it is also a good place. The weather is good and there has never been any natural disasters. The reason why Huaining Prefecture is poor is because the county magistrate was a corrupt official who corrupted Huaining. The taxes of the people in the state, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince's inspections have brought the corrupt officials to justice by then.Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Huaining Prefecture wants to become rich.

The most important thing is that the Seventh Prince asked Xiao Jining for this piece of land, and Xiao Jining actually gave it to him when he asked for it, which can be said to be obedient.

Concubine Zhen also participated in the mutiny in Li Xinggong, Xiao Jining actually just demoted her to be a commoner, never to return to Beijing, and not to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death, that's all for Empress Chun, this kind of punishment is nothing like no punishment different.

Why did Concubine Zhen have nothing to do with her suffering so much?

So she made a fuss, and she had to punish Concubine Zhen heavily to be reconciled.

Unexpectedly, she only made trouble for a day, and Xiao Jining thought that the queen mother was overly frightened and had hysteria, and she needed to rest in peace and not see her anymore. In order to stop her from accusing him of "unfilial piety", Xiao Jining sent a genius doctor Jiang Yunzhe to give her "healing" ".

The Queen Mother Chun drank the bitter Coptis chinensis concoction three times a day for seven or eight days in a row, and finally couldn't take it anymore, so she could only pretend to be good, and waited for Jiang Yunzhe to say that she was well enough to move before seeing Xiao Jining again.

The feng shui took turns, Xiao Jining pretended to be obedient back then, but now she has become her.

Regardless of whether she was happy or not, anyway, Xiao Jining was very relieved, after half a month, he was finally willing to visit his old mother.
