Chapter 494 The Princess Who Goes Down in History 26
"By then, not to mention your brothers, even the emperor will have to act according to your wishes..."
It was so easy for Chen Yanhui to control the fourth prince.
Just a few words can fool people.
The fourth prince listened and thought carefully, and felt that Chen Yan's reply was -
It makes so much sense!
So, when the king of the Western Barbarians was preparing to force the throne on his head, the Fourth Prince had already left Kyoto alone, surrendered first, and opened the city gate to let the Xin army enter the city.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the dust rising from the horse's hooves, Chen Yanhui smiled and gently waved the folding fan in her hand.
As expected of him!
"Oh my~ It's done, I should retire now."
Chen Yan looked back with a gleam in his eyes, wondering what reward the princess would give him when he returned this time.
It's really exciting.
And mother.
I haven't seen you for a few years, and I miss you so much. I think you must be doing well under the care of the princess.
Compared to the fourth prince who was hung up on the pancake, Chen Yanhui was more looking forward to going to the capital of Xin State.
Not long after, he got what he wanted.
He met Shu Jiao under the pretext of visiting as the fourth prince.
Just as he was about to report his achievements over the years, he saw his mother, who had been taken away by Shu Jiao, sitting in the hall.
The mastermind behind the scenes, who was always calm and composed in the Western Barbarians, now stood there in a daze, looking a little helpless.
"mother."
he shouted.
"Hey~"
Mother Chen responded with a trembling voice, her eyes moist, "Son!"
"Yan Hui, go back to the courtyard with your mother first and tell her about your longing for her. We can talk about serious matters tomorrow. There is no rush."
Shu Jiao waved her hand.
Chen Yanhui did not refuse, and helped her mother up and left.
Shu Jiao drank a sip of tea, got up and went to the palace.
As she expected, Pei Jin and Pei Wan in the palace were arguing over the settlement of the Western Barbarian royal family.
Emperor Kangping was standing nearby, and he couldn't get a word in, so he could only walk back and forth and try to coax the two of them.
"Wan'er, calm down, calm down..."
"Son, don't drop it. That's a set of twelve teacups. I only have this one!"
"Wan'er! Put down my vase!"
"Son, please say less, say less..."
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Ning'an, and Princess Duanyang are here!"
Emperor Kangping's personal eunuch walked into the hall with his head lowered and said.
"Quick! Quickly declare!"
The savior is here!
A glimmer of hope ignited in Emperor Kangping's eyes, and he did not forget to stuff his favorite teacups, tea pet ornaments, jade carvings, jade beads and jade pens into his sleeves, for fear that they would be dropped by the two of them.
When Shu Jiao went in, the ground was a mess.
"Jiaojiao! You're here!"
Emperor Kang Ping walked quickly, and then...
He avoided Shu Jiao.
"Jiaojiao, I know that you two cousins have always been close. I will leave these two unfilial children to you. I will go see the Queen."
As he finished speaking, Emperor Kangping had already walked out of the palace gate.
Shu Jiao, who was about to make a polite gesture, said:
"Cousin, the Western Barbarians' royal family is not as law-abiding as the Dayang royal family. I suggest killing a bunch of them to shock the world. What do you think?"
Pei Wan turned and looked at Shu Jiao.
"Makes sense."
Shu Jiao nodded.
Pei Jin also looked straight at Shu Jiao, "Cousin, you can't kill him! This prince, general and minister has been incorruptible since ancient times, not to mention that they surrendered voluntarily. If you really kill him, what will happen to the reputation of our Xin country?"
"What you said makes sense."
Shu Jiao nodded again.
The brother and sister finally calmed down and found a chair to sit down.
"Go on. This isn't..."
Shu Jiao said, looking down at the debris on the ground, "Isn't this a good break? The ladies in the harem will get angry to the same extent."
Pei Jin: ...
Pei Wan: ...
"Whoo~"
Pei Jin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I won't bother with my sister."
Pei Wan glanced at him and said, "I don't want to bother with a fool."
Look how fiercely they are arguing, it is not just about "how to settle the Western Barbarian royal family"?
There is only one purpose for quarreling——
How to divide the benefits of the great achievement of annexing the Western Barbarians.
Pei Jin wanted to stay with the Ximan royal family for the sake of his own reputation, for the sake of his own stability after he succeeded to the throne, and to gain more fame and fortune for his own people.
Pei Wan thought so too.
She was destined to develop overseas anyway. Killing a group of surrendered royal family members would boost her own reputation, cause trouble for Pei Jin, and she could also legitimately plunder more and promote her own people.
No matter how you look at it, you are making money.
The clacking of the two abacus beads was so loud that Shu Jiaoyuan could hear it even from the Princess's Mansion.
"No more noise?"
Shu Jiao chuckled, "Then let's talk it out. Cousin, there are some things you don't bring or take away, why are you fighting for them? It would be more convenient if you could just ask for more money and more people."
Money and people are the foundation of your establishment of a country overseas.
Instead of killing the Western Barbarian royal family, it would be better to pick a few capable followers from among the royal family and take them out to use.
Say.
What do you want to do with your reputation in Xinguo? You are destined to leave.
What's the point of promoting your people in Xin Country? Will they be willing to go with you?
"Besides, you and your cousin are from the same mother. No matter what the situation is, you have to support each other."
Cousin, you have to understand that if you want to establish a country overseas, you can't do without Pei Jin's help. Otherwise, do you really think you can train tens of thousands of navy secretly?
Be careful that he gets the news and interferes, which will cause a lot of trouble.
We don't need that.
Pei Wan frowned when she heard this.
Shu Jiao was about to talk about Pei Jin when she suddenly heard 003's lazy reminder.
"Sister Host, Emperor Kang Ping is eavesdropping outside the door."
Shu Jiao: ???
Didn't you leave?
But people were listening outside, so Shu Jiao changed her words and said, "Cousin, you made a scene in front of uncle just for a Western Barbarian royal family, and you even threw his things. That's really too much."
"You haven't taken the throne yet. Even if you do, you can't treat your uncle like this. Filial piety is just a fig leaf, but you have to cover it up!"
"You are so disrespectful to me? How will people outside view my uncle?"
That's it!
These two really don't respect him as their father and emperor!
Emperor Kangping, who was eavesdropping at the door with his personal eunuch, was deeply moved.
My eldest niece has to love me so much. It’s not in vain that I love her so much since she was a child!
Woohoo——
Pei Jin's face heated up slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed in his heart.
He has been in power these days, and he has given up on his own father... He got carried away and lost control of his emotions while arguing with his own sister.
Pei Wan lowered her eyes, narrowing them slightly——
Why did she feel that Shu Jiao didn't want to say this at first?
Why didn’t my cousin speak up for her father before?
unless……
Pei Wan looked silently at the palace door which looked normal, and suddenly sighed.
"It's my fault. I was just too angry. I'll go find my father and admit my mistake later. My father loved me very much in the past. No matter what, I shouldn't lose face for him."
Emperor Kangping:!!!
You are still my good daughter!
My daughter is so thoughtful!
woo-
Just think about it, raising a son who is so unfilial, it makes me sad just thinking about it!
——Please, my dear friends, add a bookshelf, otherwise I won’t be able to find it in the dark room. o(╥﹏╥)o
——I didn’t update yesterday, mainly because I was mad at the review. I was rejected so many times that I was so mad that I didn’t have the mood to write. I’m sorry, my darlings, ?( ′???` ).
