Chapter 89
The news of the quarrel between the two quickly spread throughout the palace. Bu Tianfan listened to the news at Ji Kang's private meeting, "Recently, I heard that Ji Wu and An Ningyu had a big quarrel. Do you know what they are arguing about?"
"The people brought by An Ningyu are setting up defenses around. My people are hard to get close to. I can't find out the specific content. It may have something to do with the last time Ji Yu led troops to Yangzhou. I'm afraid the two don't want to be together at all. It's Ji Yu. The exchange was brokered by Yu alone. Now the quarrel must have something to do with it." Ji Kang snuggled into Bu Tianfan's arms.
"Ji Wu is notoriously gentle. She would never quarrel with An Ningyu unless it was a big event. Something must have happened between them that we don't know about. If we can know the content, maybe we can use it as a bargaining chip against An Ningyu in the future. "Compared to the arrogant prince, Bu Tianfan is more thoughtful.
However, in Ji Kang's eyes, An Ningyu has never been taken seriously, "Are you arguing too much about An Ningyu? What ability does she have to fight me? What is she, the future prince of my grand son? I will tell you later." Go to the father and ask him to cancel this wedding, and then he won't be a county horse, and see if she doesn't kneel down and beg for mercy."
"No." Bu Tianfan was still relying on An Ningyu's marriage to lure snakes out of his hole. If he cancelled, his plan would be in vain, the matter of revenge would be shelved, and his years of planning would be in vain.
"Tianfan, why did you come here as that kid when you went to Beijing this time? Why do you care so much about her affairs?" Ji Kang is not blind, especially if the person he likes is distracted, he will know it.When the two met, Bu Tianfan's topic was inseparable from An Ningyu, which made Ji Kang very angry.
"We've been together for so many years, do you still doubt my sincerity to you?" Bu Tianfan himself felt disgusted, but in order not to arouse Ji Kang's suspicion, he sacrificed his body, let alone his soul.
"It's best, if you dare to betray me, be careful of your dog's life." Ji Kang kept patting Bu Tianfan's chest and pouted coquettishly.
Reluctantly leaving Bu Tianfan, Ji Kang came to King Liang's study, happened to see the people from the palace leaving, and went in to ask after the announcement, "Father, someone came to the palace early in the morning, there is something to do in the court." ?”
"It's all right." King Liang said so, with a serious expression on his face.
"Father, there is one thing that I don't know whether to say or not." Ji Kang pretended to be mysterious.
"Everyone come and talk."
"Recently, brother Ning and the fourteenth sister have a rift. They were matched by Ji Yu before. I am afraid that there will be differences due to the conflict of interests. Although the quarrel is small, I am afraid that it will hurt the face of the father if it is spread out. "Ji Kang's words focused on the front, rather than really taking into account the reputation of the palace.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"Father, Brother Yu has always been eyeing the position of the son, and now he uses Ji Wu to win over An Ningyu with ulterior motives. I don't feel pity for the title, after all, it is my own brother, and it is reasonable who will inherit the mantle of the king in the future, but Brother Yu is doing it like this. The faction is very deep in the city, and I am afraid that even the father will not be taken seriously when the wings are full."
"He dares."
"Brother Yu has been pampered and spoiled in recent years. Didn't he lead troops to Yangzhou to wipe out the people of Yantie Gang without telling you last time? The deep emperor's praise is even more comfortable in the court and the opposition. I'm afraid there is nothing he dares to do now. .” Ji Kang continued to drive a wedge between King Liang and Ji Yu.
"Ji Yu went to Yangzhou to suppress the bandits because he received a secret decree from the sage, and he didn't deliberately hide it from me." King Liang remembered that the emperor had issued a secret decree to Ji Yu, asking him to lead troops to Yangzhou for support.
"Father is in his prime. Why did the emperor entrust you with a mere banditry? On the contrary, don't you think it's strange to find Ji Yu in private and send troops to Yangzhou without telling everyone?" No wonder Ji Kang is so eager to bring down Ji Yu.
"Your Majesty knows how to promote new recruits. He wants them to accumulate more practical experience and reserve generals for the imperial court. That's why he has such a plan. Don't think that this king doesn't know your little thoughts. You are worried that Ji Yu will be favored. I'm afraid that the title of title will be snatched away by him." Liang Wang is not stupid, and he can see Ji Kang's careful thinking at a glance.
Hearing this, Ji Kang immediately knelt down on the ground and wept bitterly, saying, "Father Wang Mingjian, I am also thinking of you, the old man, and I have no selfishness at all. The heart of the father king is that the world can learn from the world, and the sun and the moon can show it."
"Come on, get up. Although you are no more capable than Ji Yu, if you can keep yourself safe, you should inherit the title according to the etiquette." Although King Liang said so, Ji Yu's thorn in his flesh would not get rid of it for a day, so he couldn't feel at ease.
At this time, the guards outside the door came in to announce, "My lord, Young Master Ning and Princess Ji Wu are already waiting outside."
It turned out that after seeing off the people from the palace, King Liang ordered someone to find them, "Let them in."
"Good morning, father and uncle." Ji Wu and An Ningyu, who walked into the study, saluted King Liang at the same time.
"Excuse me, the king of Ben came to discuss with you today." Your marriage will be cancelled. "As soon as these words came out, the three people present were shocked, even Ji Kang was no exception. It was clear that he didn't talk to his father just now, but why did he make such a decision to turn around.
Immediately afterwards, I heard King Liang continue to say, "This king will betroth the thirteenth princess Ji Nuo to you. She is Kang'er's own sister, and the mother and concubine are princesses. Her blood is even more delicate. You will still be my son-in-law in the court." county horse."
"Father, why?" Ji Wu and Ji Kang questioned King Liang in unison.
"I don't need to explain my king's decision to you. This matter is settled like this. It's useless for you to say more." Liang Wang was very decisive, as if there was no room for negotiation.
"Father, you first imprisoned the mother and concubine for no reason, and now you canceled the marriage without warning. What did Wu'er do wrong, and you want to treat me like this?" Unconcealable sadness and anger intertwined, and stood still. An Ningyu next door to her could feel the pain spreading.
"Presumptuous, how dare you talk to this king like this. Don't think that I can do anything wrong if I pamper you. Believe it or not, this king ordered someone to put you in the dungeon." Liang Wang didn't expect Ji Wu to yell at him, and couldn't help it. Burning with anger.
"The father didn't think about the friendship with his mother and concubine for more than ten years. He listened to the villain's slander and ruthlessly locked her in the cell. Wuer didn't have any extravagant hopes. If the father insisted on taking everything away from Wuer, then he would Even Wu'er's life will be taken away, anyway, if she stays, she will have no attachment." There is nothing more sad than death, for Ji Wu, there is nothing more attached to the world than her mother and concubine Zhao and her beloved An Ningyu, Now that neither existed, she had no reason to go on living.
"Come here, drag this woman down for me." Authority does not allow blasphemy, King Liang raised his arms and called out to the guards outside the door to rush in, just as he was about to take Ji Wu away, he was stopped by An Ningyu.
"Uncle, the princess didn't mean to contradict, but she was just worried about the safety of her mother and concubine, so she would talk nonsense, thinking of her filial piety, please forgive me, my lord." Anning Yu forced Ji Wu to kneel on the ground.
Ji Wu waved An Ningyu's hand away, and said coldly, "An Ningyu, don't worry about my affairs."
An Ningyu said in a low voice, "If you don't want to live, think about it for your concubine mother. If you anger the prince, you can't save her." This sentence really worked, and Ji Wu stopped struggling and stopped resisting.
"I don't care about Ning Yu's face, I don't care about you. You'd better be careful in the future. Don't associate with your shameless mother and concubine, and ruin the reputation of the palace." It seems that the scandal of the Zhao family has implicated Ji Wu. Liang Wang didn't need to be doted on in the past, on the contrary, he was very indifferent, and he didn't even want to look at him twice.
Ji Wu has a deep understanding of all this. At this moment, she feels so small and helpless, even the marriage is such a trifling matter, it is related to her life's happiness but it is not her turn to control it.
After King Liang left, Ji Wu stared blankly at the ground and whispered, "You must rescue my mother and concubine."
"I tried my best, but this matter is far more difficult than I imagined." An Ningyu wanted to help Ji Wu up, but was rejected again.
"If she dies, don't think that I can keep the secret for you." Ji Wu rushed out with tears in her eyes.
Ji Kang who stayed behind inquired curiously, "What reason do you have for Ji Wu to catch her, how dare she threaten you just now?"
"Your Majesty's kung fu is getting better and better. No, Caomin should change his name to call you brother-in-law. I just didn't expect you to persuade the prince to let Caomin marry your sister in order to separate me and Ji Yu. It would be too flattering to me. I don't care He is a lowly businessman, why should he marry the princess of the thirteen princesses?" An Ningyu couldn't help teasing.
"Even if you have self-knowledge, how can you, a bitch, be worthy of my sister."
"In this way, it's not you who made the prince change his mind. It's who is so powerful. It was obvious that the person I proposed was Ji Wu, but now he has changed and married the thirteen princesses. I am really sorry to disappoint the prince." An Ning Yuyu has already guessed who is playing tricks behind the scenes, just to anger Ji Kang.
Now that the situation has changed, Ji Kang is also pushing the boat along the way. Anyway, it has become a fact that Ji Nuo is going to marry An Ningyu, so he said, "An Ningyu, since we are about to become a family, why not join hands to deal with Ji Yu. I know why you The reason I agreed to go to Ji Wu was because Ji Yu threatened you to come here, so he is obviously our common enemy, why don't you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, with this son backing you up, he can't do anything to you."
"It is widely rumored that there is a strategist in the palace, Ji Yu who is the one who is in the vanguard, and the son who is planning strategies. They say that if you can turn your fighting into jade, the palace will be bigger and more brilliant than it is now. It's a pity that you two brothers like to fight against each other, making people laugh. "
"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and now there are others but no me. Tell me, do you agree or not?"
"Ji Yu is my cousin. Even if Shizi abandons the past, I'm afraid there will be a gap in my heart, worrying that I will fight back one day. In this way, both Shizi and I will doubt each other, so this kind of cooperation is not worth it." Anning Yu He squinted at Ji Kang, and before the other party could speak, he had already said something wrong.
"There is no father and son in the battlefield, let alone your distant relative, even your own brother, the relationship is fragile in the face of interests. I have no doubts that this son can promise you to employ someone. No matter what conditions he gave you before, I believe this son is more capable." Satisfy you. Do you think he will give you money, a title, or a woman?" It seems that An Ningyu's frankness made Ji Kang more determined to win over.
"Your Majesty is really generous, not at all stingy like Ji Yu. I don't lack money and women, but I am used to idleness and being an official in the court is not suitable for me. Why don't you give me the title of Marquis, so that you can honor your ancestors without worrying about the court?" Isn't it the best of both worlds when it comes to political affairs in China?"
"An Ningyu, you have a lot of appetite. Even if I inherit the title of my father in the future, I will be a county king from the first rank, but you actually want to be from the third rank of marquis. This is to be handpicked by the emperor, how can this son have such ability. "
"The mother and concubine of the son is the princess of the dynasty, the emperor's royal sister, and is deeply favored by the empress dowager. In the future, when I marry your sister, I believe that the son will not be stingy to seek the title of Marquis for me, not to mention that I have the face to represent the son. You have face." An Ningyu began to lobby.
"Ambitious, I like it. He is right. You are not simple at all. This son should not underestimate you. You can use your connections to benefit yourself and gain glory without a single soldier. Like Ji Yu This kind of brave and foolhardy person is only worthy of going through life and death for us, and has no brains to be a king at all."
"So, the prince agrees?"
"Of course, but to show your sincerity, at least let this prince see your sincerity, otherwise there will be no discussion." Ji Kang is not an easy-going lamp, and of course he will not completely believe in An Ning's words, and of course he has reservations.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
After watching Ji Kang leave, Brown, who had been guarding the door all the time, walked in. He looked at the frowning An Ningyu, convinced that a lot had happened in the short meeting just now.
Anningyu began to struggle in her heart, she never thought that after leaving Yangzhou and coming here, she still could not escape the bad luck of being restrained.Before it was Ji Yu, then Ji Wu who knew the truth, then Ji Kang, and the emperor in the deep palace. Everyone was pulling her hands and feet to control her decision.Could it be that he could not escape the cursed life in this whole life, and would always live under the control of others.
