Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

Longkodo looked at Jiang Yan seriously. Although he will be 15 years old in two months, he is still underage before he turns 16. How did he come out of the palace late at night?

I thought he was just going out of the palace pretending to be a little eunuch, but looking at his outfit now, it is clearly a stabbing outfit. If the guards in the palace see this appearance, they will be shot to death by random arrows before telling the emperor up.

Could it be that he still has someone in the palace?That is simply too unfathomable, he has his own influence outside the palace, and he still has power in the palace, let alone how he did it, just how did he get out of the palace tonight?

"What is Uncle looking at me like that for?"

"It's nothing, I'm just wondering how you came out of the palace in this outfit?" Longkodo asked curiously, "Of course, but you have something to hide and you don't have to say it."

"There is nothing unspeakable. If you want to pass through the palace wall in the middle of the night, you have to wear a concealed attire, so you just come out." Jiang Yan looked at the black robe on his body, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, uncle has Let's talk about it in the palace tomorrow."

"You really should go back. If you don't go back, it will be dawn." There are some things that he shouldn't know or don't know, such as where Jiang Yan's martial arts came from, and it is not easy to cross the palace wall What's more, there are so many guards patrolling inside the palace walls.

Jiang Yan left with a few vertical leaps, and Long Kedo couldn't help but be speechless. This martial art, let alone him, is rare even among the guards in the palace. Perhaps only a few powerful martial arts in the world can match it. .

"My lord, Shen Fangning has been brought back to the mansion. Do you want to interrogate her now?" the entourage who came with Longkodo asked.

Long Kedo stretched his waist, looked up at the time, "I won't go, I have to go to the palace to be on duty in the morning, go back to sleep first."

Longkodo released Shen Fangning from the secret room because of what she predicted, and Shen Fangning had a grudge against him, so he had to come up with such a way to correct his attitude in front of Shen Fangning and make Shen Fangning treat him trust.

This plan was his complaint in front of Jiang Yan that Shen Fangning was unwilling to use it for him. Jiang Yan proposed an idea. He didn't know if it was successful after it was done, but he gained Jiang Yan's trust.

At the same time, he also saw that Jiang Yan didn't want to fight for the throne. Since Shen Fangning predicted that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen would win the throne in the end, he might as well help Yinzhen win the throne. He didn't believe that Yinzhen would be able to survive when he was on guard. Cross the river and demolish the bridge on him.

Besides, Jiang Yan is still there. As long as he has no evil intentions, Jiang Yan will not let Yinzhen do anything to him. After all, Jiang Yan himself is now a member of the Tong Jia clan, and punishing him is equivalent to punishing the Tong Jia clan. At that time, Jiang Yan's glory will also be lost.

Jiang Yan himself may not care about any glory, but will Yinzhen, who has won the throne, even disregard his own brother's identity?

Long Kedo thought very well, that's because he didn't know how tragic the scene of Kowloon's conquest of the heir apparent was after many years. Those who framed each other and guarded against each other were all brothers. Those who have experienced the Kowloon's conquest of the heir apparent and really won, what is their heart? Probably as soft as a teenager.

Even if Yinzhen cared about Jiang Yan at that time, he would not be so 'love the house and the black', after all Longkodo is not his real uncle.

Few people know about Jiang Yan, Longkodo, and Shen Fangning. Naturally, Jiang Yan will not tell others, and Longkodo also knows the importance of these things. If another person with power practices with Shen Fangning, Longko Kodo didn't know if he could keep his current life, he didn't want to die so early.

She tried her best to gain Shen Fangning's trust, in order to know all kinds of things about him in advance so that she could be prepared.

However, while doing these things, the emperor came down with an imperial decree, giving Jiang Yan a marriage, and the object of the marriage was Longkodo's just 11-year-old daughter Tong Jiaronglan.

Jiang Yan and Longkodo were taken aback by the imperial decree. They used to be regarded as uncle-nephew relationship, but now they are going to become son-in-law relationship?

At the same time, this decree is also surprising to the people in the harem. Concubine De thought that Kangxi must have seen that Jiang Yan was still close to her, not as close as the current concubine Tong Jia in the palace, so she wanted Jiang Yan and Tong The relationship of the Jia clan is closer.

But is there any need for Kangxi to do this?Wasn't it Queen Tong Jia's request to let Jiang Yan enter under Queen Tong Jia's jade?Is there any other purpose besides this?

Concubine De couldn't figure it out. She hadn't seen Kangxi since the imperial decree was issued. The other concubines came to her palace, either to gloat and laugh at her for giving birth to a son for Tong Jia's family, or to find out the truth Among them, Concubine Hui is the most important, to find out how deep is the relationship between Jiang Yan and the Tong Jia clan?

After dealing with those concubines, Concubine De was already physically and mentally exhausted, and she didn't have the strength to think about the emperor's mind anymore.

Anyway, the emperor's thoughts are not something that these concubines can control, nor can they change. Love is what kind of thought is what kind of thought. The son came out of her belly, and it was recorded in someone else's name. , The blood relationship of flesh and blood is constantly being cut.

Concubine De comforted herself like this, but she still felt a little uneasy, and asked someone to order the spices that Jiang Yan had sent before. The spices calmed the mind, but they were not as heavy as sandalwood. Floral aroma, very pleasant.

"This servant thinks that it might be a good thing that the third elder brother and Lord Longkodo have become Weng's son-in-law." Seeing that Concubine De was not as angry as before, Zhuxiu said while fanning her.

"how do I say this?"

"Young lady, think about it. Before becoming the son-in-law with Lord Longkodo, the third elder brother and Lord Longkodo were in the relationship of uncle and nephew. Now that they have become the relationship between the son-in-law and the father-in-law, no matter how good the relationship between the son-in-law and the father-in-law How good is it?"

"Besides, our third elder brother is still the prince, and he will definitely not get along with the Weng and his son-in-law in the folks. It's almost just a matter of face. Maybe the emperor granted the marriage after seeing this. The daughter of Lord Longkodo is not good this year. He is only 11 years old, and he has to wait several years to get married."

This is also the question that Concubine De has been thinking about these days. Tong Jia Ronglan is only 11 years old this year. Even if the emperor cares about Queen Tong Jia, 11 years old is too early. Elder brother is 12 years old, the age of the two of them is closer to that of Tong Jiaronglan.

Therefore, the main candidate for the marriage is not Tong Jia Ronglan, but Jiang Yan. The emperor must make Jiang Yan and Tong Jia's bond tighter.

Concubine De sighed, rubbed her temples, said that she hadn't thought about it and started thinking about it again, but her head started to hurt again when she couldn't think about it.

Zhuxiu put down her fan to rub Concubine De's temples, and the room was extremely quiet for a while.

Just when Concubine De was having a headache, both Jiang Yan and Yinzhen were called into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Inside the side hall, Kangxi was playing chess with himself. When he saw the two of them coming, he asked each of them to hold a chess piece. Play against each other.

"You both grew up beside Empress Tong Jia. Empress Tong Jia and Yin Yan have been together for two years longer than Yin Zhen, so before dying, I asked Yin Yan to be adopted under her Jade Document. I agree. Now, Yinzhen, you will return to Concubine De's side."

Holding two chess pieces in his hand, Kangxi watched the chess game between Jiang Yan and Yinzhen and said slowly, "Yinyan, do you have any complaints against me? Didn't let you reunite with your biological mother?"

"My son does not complain."

"Do you not complain or dare not?"

As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, he didn't get the expected defense from Jiang Yan. Instead, the father and son looked at each other, "Does Huang Ama feel that the minister is very timid?"

"You are quite courageous." For many years, no one dared to look at him, and he was indeed very courageous.

Jiang Yan smiled and continued to put down the chess pieces in his hands. This game of chess ended with Yinzhen's defeat, and the defeat was a complete mess.

"You lost." Kangxi put his hand on Yinzhen's shoulder and said.

"I'm not good at chess, so I'm not as good as my third brother." Yinzhen got up and said, with a very respectful attitude towards Kangxi.

Kangxi's eyes drifted away from Yinzhen and Jiang Yan, "I'm all thinking about talking to your third brother, so I don't even have time to play chess."

"My son is guilty."

"It was originally said in front of you, so don't say whether it's a crime or not. Today, it's just a commonplace conversation among the father and son. There is no other meaning, so don't be nervous."

Kangxi suddenly felt a little sad when he said, "It's just that when I saw you, I unconsciously thought of Empress Tong Jia. It will be her birthday in a while. Her favorite food during her lifetime was Jinhu lotus root from Jiangsu, Yinzhen Would you like to go to Jiangsu for me and build a ancestral temple dedicated to Empress Tong Jia."

"My son is willing. The queen mother has raised her son for many years, and my son is obliged to do so."

Jiang Yan was a little dazed when he first heard Kangxi's imperial decree, but now he can guess seven or eight points of what Kangxi said to Yinzhen.

After all, Concubine De gave birth to too many sons. Jiang Yan and Yinzhen are about to reach adulthood, and the sixth elder brother Yinzuo is already ten years old. Although his body is thin, as long as he is healthy, he will have no problem raising him to adulthood. Brother Yinzhen has been fat since he was born, and he has a good body. He eats deliciously, so he doesn't have to worry about health problems at all.

If there is no accident, these four sons of Concubine De will all be grown-ups. Although Jiang Yan has been recorded under the name of Queen Tong Jia, he has always had contacts with Concubine De. These contacts are only low-key but not secret.

Therefore, giving Jiang Yan and Tong Jia Ronglan a marriage made the relationship between Jiang Yan and Tong Jia's clan closer, and now letting Yinzhen go to Jiangsu to build an ancestral hall is also to make him get closer to Tong Jia's clan.

Of course, Kangxi will definitely not give marriages to the daughters of Yinzhen and Tong Jia's family, so that both of them will have a relationship with Tong Jia's family. Unity is another force. It is estimated that Yinzhen's construction of the ancestral hall is over. , Kangxi will match the relationship between Yinzhen and the Wuya clan of Defei.

In that way, the two brothers will each have their own network of interests.

It is estimated that Kangxi got the impression from Yinti and the prince. The son has been exposed to the government as an adult, and it is better to be united than to hold his own and express his views.

Kangxi saw Jiang Yan bowed his head in thought, "What are you thinking?"

"I am thinking about the teachings of the emperor's mother to my son, and I am thinking, can Huang Ama let me go to Suzhou with my fourth brother to build an ancestral hall this time?" Jiang Yan asked, standing up and bowing.

"You don't want to go, but also give Yinzhen some opportunities to practice. You have been filial piety for Empress Tong Jia for nine months, and she must be able to feel your filial piety in heaven." It was obvious that Jiang Yan was not telling the truth, he There is no need to mind.

Not to mention his son, who is full of civil and military affairs, who dares to say that every word he said is true?Everyone must have lied to him. If it was really a crime of deceiving the emperor, the capital would already be bleeding like a river.

With the expected answer, Jiang Yan didn't say anything more, and played a game of chess with Yinzhen in front of Kangxi. This time Yinzhen tried his best, but he was still killed by Jiang Yan and ended in a disastrous defeat. .

At the same time as they left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, word spread that Yinzhen was ordered to go to Jiangsu to build the Queen's Ancestral Hall.

The construction of Empress Tong Jia's ancestral hall, this kind of thing is the government is the government, after all, it needs the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, and it is a family matter, but it is just the filial piety of the prince to his aunt.

One thing is different in the eyes of different people, the former is seen by Yinti and the prince, the latter is seen by the concubine, and in the eyes of the emperor, it is a mixture of state affairs and family affairs.

He can't let Concubine De's lineage dominate the harem now, and dominate the court in the future, that is the last thing he wants to see.

Although the elder brother and the crown prince are fighting, both sides are well-founded. In the future, more and more princes will enter the court, and there will inevitably be more fights. He hopes that the princes will fight alone, rather than the princes holding each other. , After the group wins, they kill each other.

"I heard that the fourth elder brother has gone to Jiangsu. You can ask your people to follow him, try to help, and increase your goodwill early. The relationship between you and Weishi is the deepest."

This was the first sentence Longkodo said after seeing Shen Fangning. However, Longkodo did not continue this topic, but said: "The news came from the Shen family just now that your mother passed away."

"What did you say?" Shen Fangning looked over quickly, and saw Longkodo looked serious, not like joking, and besides, Longkodo didn't know her mother, so she wouldn't make such a joke.

"I won't let you go back. You can pay homage to the Shen family from afar, and do your duty as a daughter."

Shen Fangning couldn't speak, so of course it wasn't her mother, but Shen Fangning's mother. That woman was in her 30s, but she seemed as old as 60 or [-] years old. Because she was not favored, she lived in Shen's family with difficulty. .

Originally, I wanted to honor her after doing something, but I didn't expect to pass away.

Longkodo looked at Shen Fangning and narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't see sadness on Shen Fangning's face, but was just shocked. Isn't she sad when her mother died?I heard that for so many years in the Shen family, their mother and daughter have always depended on each other for life.
