Chapter 83
"General Liang has been in control of the military power since he was stationed in Beijing to protect the emperor. The emperor also has great trust in him. Now the prince is so serious that he wants to divide the military power. At this juncture of the dispute with the prince, it is inevitable to make people suspicious.
"Si Nanping said with a frown and a frozen expression.
The emperor was already disgusted by the idea of seizing the crown prince position. Wasn't it because he felt that he was about to die, so he was anxious to enrich his power so that he could seize the throne?
Although Qi Bingyu has always been very optimistic about Qi Jingqin and his abilities and conduct, such hasty behavior really makes Qi Bingyu feel chilled.
Now that Qi Bingyu's attitude is unclear, he can only hope that Liang Fengmian will relent and turn this chapter over.
"When General Liang dispatched Yongzhou garrison troops to aid the daughter of the Southwest War, the prince kept an eye on the military power. But who is General Liang? Even if he is an ordinary person, he cannot let go of his power.
Right, the prince's move is really risky and thankless." Zhao Qi also nodded and said with a solemn expression.
Si Nanping sighed softly and looked up to find the prince's study. It was eerily quiet inside. He turned back and looked at Chuo Qi. Chuo Qi nodded, so he opened the door and went in.
As soon as Si Nanping entered the door, he saw the papers scattered on the ground. Looking inside, in front of the desk behind the circular corridor, Qi Jingqin was lying in the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, holding the handle of the Taishi chair tightly with both hands.
The joints are slightly white, and the eyebrows are furrowed into a frown, and the eyes are also divided into gaps due to the frown.
The entire study room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
"You're here." Although Qi Jingqin closed his eyes, he was not asleep. He heard Si Nanping's footsteps and called out.
Si Nanping was leaning over to pick up the documents scattered on the ground, when suddenly he heard Qi Jingqin talking and was so frightened that he dropped the book in his hand again.
Qi Jingqin heard the loud noise and slowly opened his eyes: "What's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for half a month, and you are so nervous when you see me again?"
"No." Si Nanping showed his signature smile, then bent down to pick up the documents, walked towards Qi Jingqin, put the documents away casually, and said with a smile: "I just came back today and didn't take a break to handle official business in the study.
, Your Majesty is really diligent."
Qi Jingqin knew that Si Nanping was making fun of him, so he waved his hand, pinched his painful temples, and sighed: "They were all forced."
"Liang Huanqing is ill." Si Nanping said coldly.
Qi Jingqin looked up at him: "I know."
"Your Majesty, don't you go and take a look?"
"He went. She just went to bed and didn't go in."
"Do you want to send troops to investigate the crime or to visit the sick?" Si Nanping pondered for a while and asked.
Qi Jingqin frowned slightly after hearing what he said, feeling a little displeased: "You were the one who said you wanted to use her at the beginning, but now you say such things."
Si Nanping was speechless.
Now Si Nanping didn't know why, when he saw that after Prince Qi Jingyang of the Eastern Palace married Zhao Peiyu, princess of the King of Shu, Zhao Peiyu was a virtuous and virtuous man who took care of the relationship between the Crown Prince and the courtiers, and wrote to his father to help Qi Jingyang secure his position as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, so Si Nanping thought
You can use a marriage plan to marry back Liang Huanqing, the only daughter of General Jianwei's palace, to enrich your own power.
Unexpectedly, Liang Huanqing had no such consciousness at all, and only wanted to be a good concubine of Princess Jing. This was also due to the fact that Liang Fengmian and Liang Ji never let her get involved in matters related to government affairs when they were in the general's residence.
Now Si Nanping did not want to take advantage of Liang Huanqing. He saw the true feelings in Liang Huanqing's eyes yesterday when Liang Huanqing risked his life to pick lotus seeds because of the saying that the prince liked to drink Tremella lotus seed soup.
"That's not what I meant..." Si Nanping realized that he had gone overboard as soon as he spoke, and quickly explained, "Now that Liang Huanqing is not helping the prince's political awakening, we can't force it, we can only use good guidance to make her realize what's going on.
Seriousness. Not everyone is like the princess of the King of Shu, who has been involved in matters related to government affairs since childhood. General Liang has never let Liang Huanqing get involved in government affairs, and he has never let her know about things in the military camp."
Qi Jingqin raised his head and fell in the Taishi chair, pinched the roots of the mountain, and said: "In this situation, there is a rift between me and Liang Fengmian. My father's attitude is unclear, and he probably doesn't trust me very much. When the courtiers saw this, they also acted according to the prevailing situation.
Everyone is saying that we are at odds with each other in our home, which is a joke."
Thinking about it this way, Liang Fengmian was really stubborn and still refused to stand in Prince Jing's camp. This was beyond everyone's expectation, including Prime Minister Lu Gaohong and Prince Qi Jingyang. They thought that the marriage between the Prince's Palace and the General's Palace would cause
They encountered a powerful enemy, but they never expected that the two of them would fight first. When the time came, they would be happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
"Didn't you go to see the emperor? What did the emperor say?" Si Nanping sat casually in the guest seat nearby, poured himself a cup of cold tea, took a sip, frowned slightly, and put it aside.
Qi Jingqin opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling of the study room, and said, "Father keeps asking me about my inspection in the state capital..."
"Didn't they talk about military power?" Si Nanping asked.
"I didn't say it clearly. But when I talked to this king about the time when he succeeded to the throne as the crown prince, my father said that the former emperor had five princes, and the incident of his brother Ni Qiang also happened when the former emperor was seriously ill.
The other four princes are also very good, and they are proficient in all aspects of literature, Taoism and military strategy..." Qi Jingqin said slowly.
"Then what?" Si Nanping was not very familiar with the history of the imperial family. After all, when the late emperor passed away, all news about the imperial city's visit to Beijing was blocked. The records were all in the Document Pavilion of the imperial palace. How could ordinary people have the right to read them.
"Only my father fulfilled his duties and did not join their fight. Then the four princes were executed one by one, and he was the only one who survived and ascended the throne." Qi Jingqin choked up, "Among them were my father's brothers."
It was also the first time that he heard his father talk about that past event. He had never known that his father had so many brothers.
After hearing this, Si Nanping frowned and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is a warning to the prince."
It is not difficult to tell from his words that Qi Bingyu is still very optimistic about Qi Jingqin, but now his actions to fight for military power really reminded Qi Bingyu of the fight between the four princes back then. The court was in chaos, the news was blocked, and people were panicked. The late emperor was lying on the dragon's bed.
He was dying on the bed, but outside the palace there was a prince recruiting troops and waving flags, which was really chilling.
"I know." Qi Jingqin also had a headache.
When he first submitted a letter about the division of military power, he first wanted to tell his father not to let the courtiers' achievements overwhelm the emperor, and secondly, he wanted to divide the military power. He originally thought that after the marriage between the palace and the general's palace, Liang Fengmian would help him somewhat.
I know it's still the same as before.
"In this case, Liang Fengmian is unable to make any progress, so we can only start with Liang Huanqing. No matter what, we must let the emperor dispel his concerns about the prince." Si Nanping pondered for a while and said slowly.
Qi Jingqin looked at him and asked: "Liang Huanqing?"
Si Nanping hesitated for a while, and then spoke to Qi Jingqin.
Outside the study, the sun was shining brightly, the weather was as hot as yesterday, cicadas were chirping on the trees, and in the lotus pond in Duguang Pavilion, the whole lotus pond was filled with lotus flowers. In the wind, the lotus leaves swayed with the wind, and the lotus pond was also filled with water.
The scenery of the palace is beautiful.
Yuebai squatted outside Liang Huanqing's dormitory in Linlang Garden and dozed off, fearing that someone would disturb his young lady's rest. It has been almost half a year since the young lady married into the prince's palace. I wonder if she will miss her years in the general's palace. Anyway, Yuebai is particularly thinking about it.
