Song Tianxing's clear attitude made Qiao Baishi breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, the few things he had done recently had always been under great pressure and were made based on his personal courage.
Judging from the attitude of the main hall master, it seems that his choice was the right one.
"Third brother, you have always been in a relationship with Jiang Chen in Jiang Hanhou Mansion. This relationship is managed by you. Judging from various details, the recent major events in the entire royal capital seem to have this
The shadow of the young man is inside. I'm afraid this guy is really quite extraordinary."
Song Tianxing had never met Jiang Chen, but after scrutinizing the details of various intelligence, he came to such a shocking conclusion.
Even Yue Qun, the second elder who has always been mature, couldn't help but said: "Master of the main hall, is your evaluation of this Jiang Chen a little too high?"
Song Tianxing smiled faintly: "I have never met Jiang Chen. I have met Jiang Hanhou Jiang Feng. If all these variables were to happen to the Jiang family and his son, I would choose Jiang Chen over Jiang Feng."
Qiao Baishi was moved. He knew that the master of the palace had a high status, a vicious vision, and a very high vision. He was basically not wrong when he saw people and things.
A young man he had never seen before could be given such a high evaluation by the master of the palace. Qiao Baishi was a little lucky that he had made the right choice.
"Haha, Grand Hall Master, I, Lao Yue, have always admired your vision. This time, Lao Yue, I am also curious, Grand Hall Master, will you misjudge me?" Yue Qun chuckled, and with his status, he and Song
Tianxing made a few jokes that were neither salty nor bland, but it didn't cross the line.
With the main hall master's conclusion, the high-level meeting was dismissed.
After the meeting, Song Tianxing called Qiao Baishi to the secret room alone and patted Qiao Baishi on the shoulder: "Baishi, you handled this matter very boldly, which makes me very happy."
Although the relationship between them is between the master of the main hall and the master of the third hall, Song Tianxing far surpasses Qiao Baishi in terms of age, seniority, status and vision.
It can even be said that Song Tianxing planned to train Qiao Baishi as his successor.
Qiao Baishi was flattered and quickly said a few words of humility.
"Baishi, you must not neglect Jiang Chen. Have you ever summarized how many incredible things have happened to Jiang Chen?"
"This subordinate is stupid, please give me some advice from the master of the palace." Qiao Baishi was extremely respectful.
"First, this son was beaten with a stick during the ceremony to worship heaven. Why did he not die after being beaten with a stick?"
"Secondly, the king has punished this son with his staff. Why does this son have a dragon-shaped gold medal bestowed by the king on his body?"
"Thirdly, where did this son of a mere prince get an ancient elixir like Shenxiu Good Fortune Pill?"
"Fourthly, how come this martial arts prowess, who failed to pass the three basic assessments, was able to defeat Yan Yiming first and easily tease Bai Zhanyun at the banquet in Longteng Hou Mansion with one move?"
"Fifth, why do two generations of princesses in the royal family have such a close relationship with this son?"
"Sixth, in front of Marquis Long Teng, this boy showed no fear and denounced a group of powerful people. His behavior was completely inconsistent with the magnanimity a young man should have. Where does his confidence come from?"
With each item Song Tianxing listed, Qiao Baishi's expression became more solemn. He had considered these issues more or less.
However, his consideration was not as thorough and comprehensive as that of the main hall master.
Suddenly, Qiao Baishi vaguely thought of something from Song Tianxing's hint. He lost his voice and said: "Could it be said that the backer of the Jiang family father and son was actually the current king. And the low-key and low-key behavior of their father and son before was completely
Pretending to confuse the opponent? And they, father and son, are probably the chess pieces arranged by His Majesty the King? Are they the chess pieces that stir up the overall situation? "
Song Tianxing said lightly: "Besides this, what other possibilities do you think can explain everything that happened before?"
Not to mention anything else, being beaten with a rod and not dying. For this alone, without the secret instruction of His Majesty the Monarch, with the strength of the people under the Monarch, wouldn't even a young man be beaten to death?
"No wonder, no wonder." Qiao Baishi suddenly remembered the purchase of Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass that day. Didn't Jiang Chen say that he made a right decision?
Didn't Jiang Chen tell him at that time that the Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass was purchased for the royal family?
And tonight at Long Tenghou's banquet, Qiao Baishi clearly felt the familiar aura of Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass from Princess Zhiruo.
In this way, the Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass was really purchased by the royal family. Jiang Chen did not brag on this issue.
Thinking of this, Qiao Baishi recognized the judgment of the hall master even more.
It's no wonder that Song Tianxing made such a judgment. In fact, from all angles, if the Jiang family and his son had not reached a tacit understanding with the royal family early on, all of this would be completely unexplainable.
And as Princess Magatama, how could she praise a young man so much for his martial arts performance?
That was obviously to use Jiang Chen's performance to offset the impact of Long Juxue's innate Qingluan body.
"Bai Shi, if the Jiang family father and son are the chess pieces laid out by the royal family early on, what does that mean? It means the royal family started planning early."
"Long Tenghou is ambitious, but his edge is getting sharper."
"One has been planning for a long time, and the other has undisguised ambition. If these two forces are really going to collide, to be honest, I am not optimistic about Long Tenghou. Unless -" Song Tianxing stopped here.
.Obviously, the possibility behind this "unless" gave him a feeling of taboo.
If that possibility were to happen, I'm afraid Song Tianxing would be overwhelmed in dealing with that situation.
"Unless what?" Qiao Baishi couldn't help but ask.
"Unless the giant of the hidden sect comes forward in person to interfere in the struggle for kingship. However, as a sect giant, it would be too derogatory to participate in the struggle for kingship of the secular kingdom. Moreover, the Dongfang clan has controlled the kingdom for more than a thousand years.
There are also many trump cards and unknown secrets. Compared with a mere prince, except for the variable Long Juxue, I really can’t think of any advantages that Long Tenghou has."
"So, whether it is from a profit perspective or a political perspective, the choice you make today is an extremely wise choice!"
Song Tianxing praised Qiao Baishi again.
…
In the inner courtyard of the palace, it was also a sleepless night.
The news brought back by Princess Magatama also made Dongfang Lu fall into deep thought.
"Brother Wang, Marquis Long Teng's ambition has become somewhat undisguised." Princess Magatama was the only one who dared to talk to Dongfang Lu like this.
"After sitting in the position of the No. 1 prince in the world for a long time, it is inevitable that I will get a little tired. It is human nature to want to go further." Dongfang Lu's tone may sound calm, but it contains a murderous aura that makes people breathe harder.
"It's a good thing that today he forced Jiang Feng, a tough guy, to replace some other princes who are a little softer. I'm afraid he would have surrendered on the spot."
Princess Magatama recalled the situation at that time and was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of Lord Long Teng. In front of the royal family representatives, she attacked the territory of another prince. This seemed to be a fight between princes, but in fact it was not a fight against the royal family.
s face?
Dongfang Lu sighed softly: "Everything in the world is unpredictable. A few days ago, who would have thought that this father and son of the Jiang family would be my lucky generals?"
Thinking of the current situation in the capital, Dongfang Lu felt a little dumbfounded: "Perhaps, many forces now think that the Jiang family and his son are members of my Dongfang clan, and are chess pieces that I arranged early, right?"
Magatama also smiled: "If Magatama hadn't known the inside story, I'm afraid he would have thought so."
"Have you noticed that every aspect of the changes in the situation in the royal capital seems to be inseparable from a figure?"
"Jiang Chen?" Princess Magatama blurted out with her bright eyes moving slightly.
"Sister Wang, have you noticed it too?" Dongfang Lu smiled playfully.
If you think about it carefully, the situation in the royal capital really started to change from what Jiang Chen did at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
Since then, almost everything that happened in the royal capital had the shadow of this person.
"I had no doubt that he was entrusted with a dream by the gods. However, after tonight, I can't help but wonder, maybe from the beginning, this boy was using the name of the gods?"
To be honest, Dongfang Lu felt quite a headache when he thought about this problem.
Logically speaking, a son of a prince should not be such a monster. He could not die even after being punished with a stick, exposed the root cause of Zhiruo's illness, frightened the Medicine Master's Palace, and defeated high-level Zhenqi competitors with the strength of the preliminary Zhenqi realm...
All kinds of abnormal behaviors happened to the same person. If there was no secret in this person, Dongfang Lu would never believe it.
Of course, as the king of a country, he would definitely not pursue these matters too much at this time.
After all, for someone like the Jiang family father and son who could inadvertently undermine the prestige of Marquis Long Teng with such powerful help, Dongfang Lu not only cannot pursue him, but must also reward him!
"Magatama, you will go to Jiang Hanhou Mansion for me tomorrow."
Going to Jiang Hanhou Mansion was naturally to reward the Jiang family and his son. At the same time, he was also going to express his stance and naturally bring the Jiang family and his son into the royal camp.
Dongfang Lu is definitely very familiar with using this kind of power and tactics.
"Besides, we must ensure that Jiang Chen can pass the Qianlong Trial." Dongfang Lu's mentality has undergone some subtle changes compared to before.
Before, his impression of Jiang Chen was that this son could cure Dongfang Zhiruo's illness. Therefore, even if the Jiang family lost the order of princes, Dongfang Lu didn't think it mattered. Instead, he stayed in the royal capital and became a wealthy and idle official.
It is more beneficial to Zhiruo’s condition.
However, after what happened tonight, the strategic significance of the Jiang family and his son has obviously increased a hundred times. In this way, whether the Jiang family can continue to hold the princes order will affect the whole world.
Apart from anything else, if the Jiang family loses the order of the princes, the Longteng Hou Mansion will have the possibility of getting involved in the semi-spiritual land controlled by Jiang Han.
This is something Oriental Deer absolutely does not want to see.
If one prince can plunder another prince at will, it proves that there is a problem with the control of his royal family.
The Jiang family fought to the death and did not let Marquis Long Teng succeed. In fact, they were indirectly protecting Dongfang Lu's control over the kingdom!
Therefore, the Jiang family’s vassal orders must be protected!
