Born short-lived

Jiang Huaibi used to have a face that was so white that it was almost transparent, almost without blood. Half a year ago, she faintly felt that her body seemed to be getting worse and worse than before. See you again after this battle. Even with powder on his face, it was hard to hide the bruises under his eyes.

Dong Sheng kept his words in his mouth for a long time, but in the end he just forced a smile and greeted him: "High Priest, it's been a long time."

"It's rare for His Majesty to drive you. Bi is in poor health, so I'm far away to welcome him." Jiang Huaibi wanted to bow to him, but just bent over a little, and looked like he was on the verge of falling, so frightened that Dong Sheng hurried up to help him a handful.

"The high priest should not be too polite." Dong Sheng helped Jiang Huaibi to the table and sat down slowly, frowning, "The high priest should take care of his body."

Jiang Huaibi smiled silently, his clear eyes slightly curved, making his pale face look more vivid, but what he said was not so pleasant: "Thanks to His Majesty's concern, Bi's rotten life, don't worry about it." Hurry up."

Dong Sheng's face was also not good-looking: "What is the high priest talking about..."

"Alan, pour tea for Your Highness." Jiang Huaibi completely ignored Dong Sheng's words, and Jiang Huai Lan, who was straight-browed and cold-eyed, didn't even care about Dong Sheng's face, and took the teapot from Dong Sheng's hand expressionlessly. , I added the tea myself.

Dong Sheng seemed to want to say something more, looked at the indifferent faces of the two sisters, finally swallowed the words back, and sighed deeply: "I have been away from Beijing for a long time, and many things have been put on hold. There are still many places to ask the high priest for advice when I come back."

Jiang Huailan also poured Jiang Huaibi a glass, then stepped aside silently, but did not go out.When Dong Sheng came to look for Jiang Huaibi in the past, others would always avoid him, but this time Jiang Huaibi asked her sister to stand by blatantly, which made Dong Sheng feel a little uncomfortable.

But it's not that he can't understand, Jiang Huaibi deliberately showed him his morbid state, just to tell him that his time is numbered.

Jiang Huaibi took a sip of tea, and said straight to the point: "If your Highness comes to ask about the Princess Party, you can speak directly."

Dong Sheng was caught off guard by her, and couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry; "The high priest..."

"Although the Jiang family has not been involved in politics for a long time, there are some old friends at any rate. As long as His Majesty's attitude changes, he will naturally help His Majesty with the remaining trivial matters." Jiang Huaibi said lightly, as if Greetings are as common as the weather.

This is the first time that Jiang Huaibi has made her attitude so clear. In the past, even if she wanted to assist him, she would always speak with three points in her mouth, leaving herself some room for turning around, but once she said this, it meant that she believed that The Jiang family has already stood up in this battle for the crown prince.

Dong Sheng was slightly surprised for a moment, but the turmoil on his face was immediately covered by a smile, and he nodded and said: "I am here alone, thank you High Priest."

"Although Your Highness is the crown prince, he has never been to the temple since he was a child, and he has no connections," Jiang Huaibi continued without raising his eyelids, "The Jiang family is one of the most powerful families with different surnames in my Huaxu. It lasted for six generations, and there were more than forty first-rank officials, two empresses, two ministers in the cabinet, Jiang Kun's younger brother Jiang Feng was favored before his death, Jiang's disciples and old officials are now all over the court and the public... These things, Your Highness Do you know?"

Dong Sheng was slightly taken aback, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed: "Of course I know."

"Nearly one-third of Huaxu's current generals have received favor from the Jiang family, and some are even Jiang's family members. One-half of Huaxu's military power is in the hands of the Jiang family in disguise. Your Highness wants to win If the northern border fails, if one step is wrong after that, Jiang Kun will ask His Majesty for an order to order the soldiers and horses in the world to be king. However, the southern border may not be able to be summoned by His Majesty. It's probably too late for them to rush to Huajing." Jiang Huaibi didn't look at Dong Sheng's face at all, and said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said in one breath, making Dong Sheng speechless for a while.

On the one hand, Dong Sheng didn't understand why Jiang Huaibi suddenly told him these things, and on the other hand, the fact that she had been keeping silent in her heart had been exposed by her in one shot and put it on the bright side, which was more or less shocking.

"When it comes to the struggle for power in the imperial court, I think I am not as good as the Jiang family, but the battle for military power in the four realms is still a battle," Dong Sheng said, "The people who are dead and vegetarian are deposed and dismissed, and the loyal and virtuous generals are recruited and supported. Even if they want to fight Jiang Kun's party Fighting, Gu Ye will definitely not risk Hua Xu's country and people."

"Your Highness's ambition is pure, and Bi naturally knows it." Jiang Huaibi shook the tea soup in the cup, but accidentally spilled some, the hot tea soup overflowed on the slender pale fingertips, but she seemed to be unconscious He didn't hide in the same way, and didn't even frown, "Others don't understand, but the Zhuo family was actually saved by His Royal Highness."

Zhuo Feng was a first-class reckless man before his death. Originally, his father didn't want him to stay in that shitty place in northern Xinjiang for the rest of his life, so he finally sent him to the capital to be the commander of a patrol battalion. He offended everyone in the capital for three years. In the end, the empress threw him back to northern Xinjiang, out of sight and out of mind.

Now he was defeated and died, Zhuo's family is thin, the whole family is only a pair of orphans and widows, the only male can't read a few words, people who see their displeasure have long been ready to move.If the prince hadn't pulled Zhuo Yiming to his side to protect him, and sent troops to station in northern Xinjiang, implying that he would still be the commander in chief of northern Xinjiang in the future, I am afraid there would be no Zhuo clan now.

On the surface, it seems to be controlling the Zhuo army in northern Xinjiang, but in fact it also keeps Huaxu's defense line in northern Xinjiang.

So even if he didn't say anything, Dong Sheng was still moved for a moment.

"If your Highness wants to take the northern border wholeheartedly and prevent it from falling into the hands of traitors, then someone must guard the rear for His Highness." Jiang Huaibi said leisurely, "General Zhou is busy with military affairs, and he has been guarding outside all year round. Even with the power of the Li family, it is difficult to be an enemy of the Jiang family."

Doesn't this mean that you, Dong Sheng, are not good at all? So far, Dong Sheng is somewhat unpleasant, frowning slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "What does the high priest mean by this?"

But don't regret it.

Jiang Huaibi annoyed the prince, but she still didn't know it, beckoning to Jiang Huailan behind her: "Alan, come here and kowtow to Your Highness."

Dong Sheng was startled, sat up a bit, and hurriedly asked, "What does the high priest mean?"

Jiang Huaibi didn't say a word, Jiang Huailan walked up to Dong Sheng with a face full of ice, silently knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times without saying a word, and then bowed expressionlessly: "Jiang's wish Do your bit for His Highness, and help His Highness bring peace to the ruling and opposition parties."

Jiang Huailan had always been neither humble nor overbearing since she was a child, and even Dong Sheng rarely received such a big gift from her, and suddenly she didn't know how to speak, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Huaibi in a daze.

"I only hope that the Jiang family will be with Huangwei."

Dong Sheng was stunned, staring fixedly at Jiang Huaibi's calm eyes, and didn't speak for a while.

But at this moment, there was a slight abnormal sound coming from outside the window. Dong Sheng had been fighting for many years, and his five senses were extremely sensitive. Immediately, his eyes froze, and he picked up a teacup on the table and threw it out: "Who!"

The teacup broke out of the window, and then there was a scream, Dong Sheng opened the window with a violent palm, and saw a man in servant clothes lying under the window, and the teacup cut deeply into the man's chest The throat is already broken at this time.

Dong Sheng fixed his eyebrows and saw that the person was definitely not an ordinary servant. He looked at a certain direction in the distance, and said in a low voice, "One ran away."

"Come on! Hurry up..."

"No need."

Dong Sheng was about to call for someone to chase after him, but was interrupted by Jiang Huaibi, Dong Sheng turned his head and looked at her suspiciously: "Why didn't you chase after?"

"Your Highness is not here these days, I don't know that my Jiang family has been watched for a long time." Jiang Huaibi said nonchalantly, as if this incident did not happen in his own house, "It has been watched for a long time, it's okay. "

Dong Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized why Jiang Huaibi had talked so much to himself just now.

Bai Ling and Black Spirit have been one body since ancient times, and she is destined to be the one who will assist the prince. If the prince does not ascend the throne, Jiang Kun will control the government in the future, and he will definitely not let the Jiang family go. is irreplaceable.

And one day the white crystal spirit will be replaced by black oil, then the Jiang family will be useless to Hua Xu, now helping the prince, I hope he can remember the old favor and leave a note for the Jiang family road.

Jiang Huaibi, as the most powerful priest of the Jiang family in the past 50 years, is about to run out of oil, and the sun is dying.
