Chapter 558
Jiang Ji said: "However, the two guards under him who tried to seize the Fourth Young Lady Cheng were given twenty strokes by Xun Bai Shui."
"Interesting, is this old Xun not afraid of offending Prince Zhongshun?"
Hearing this, Jia Hui was slightly stunned and said.
You have to look at the owner before beating the dog!
Sima Yi smiled: "This should be Xun Bai Shui showing favor to the Master, a sign of placing a bet."
Jia Hui supported his chin with his hand: "I haven't reached the level of being worth a third-rank civil official placing a bet and defecting to me, have I?"
Jia Xu, Sima Yi, and the others looked at each other and then smiled: "A Marquis of Wushuang who is invincible on the battlefield and invincible in the officialdom, a second-rank Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and a pillar figure whom the Emperor trusts and relies on extremely—you are absolutely worth it!"
Jia Hui was surprised.
He hadn't even thought that he was already this awesome?
And then he felt very good and cool!
Come to think of it,
he was indeed the pillar figure of the Emperor's faction!
There weren't many people the Emperor Li Shimin could bring out.
Jia Hui was undoubtedly the most outstanding one.
Even the current Minister of War was actually not as powerful or strong as him!
Therefore, it wasn't very strange for Xun Bai Shui to be like this.
After everyone laughed, Jia Hui said coldly: "This Prince Zhongshun dared to touch my woman; he is simply courting death. I want to kill him!"
His will was everything!
Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Jiang Ji, Sima Yi, and other ministers immediately began to discuss countermeasures.
How to deal with and solve the trouble of Prince Zhongshun.
Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Master, this Prince Zhongshun is someone the Emperor trusts very much, and we don't know much about him; why not ask Princess Yongning to come and ask about the situation!"
Jia Hui thought it was very acceptable.
Therefore,
he immediately sent someone to invite Li Zhangge!
Li Zhangge, who was accompanying Qin Keqing and the others, immediately hurried over: "What's the matter?"
Then he explained the matter.
Hearing the mention of Prince Zhongshun, Li Zhangge immediately said with hatred: "This bastard is one of the culprits who killed my father and the others, as well as several other uncles!"
The Emperor Li Shimin, the Crown Prince, and Prince Zhongshun, they had several other brothers.
Two of them stood on the Crown Prince's side and were eliminated together by the Emperor Li Shimin and Prince Zhongshun back then!
In this, Prince Zhongshun also contributed greatly.
He provided great support to the Emperor in terms of property and other aspects.
That was why the Emperor had a very good relationship with him and trusted him very much.
Regarding this,
Jia Hui and the others had expected it, so they weren't surprised.
Li Zhangge then said: "Prince Zhongshun, as far as I know, is very cunning and treacherous, with a very deep city, brave, suspicious, and proud, and good at using the horse lance. However, he has always been loyal to Li Shimin!"
Everyone was solemn after hearing this.
Such a person.
It could be said to be the most difficult to deal with.
"However, as far as I know, he has always been at odds with the Northern Prince's side."
She thought of something and then said.
"Northern Prince?"
Jia Hui was slightly surprised after hearing this.
He had a very good impression of the Northern Prince Shui Rong.
However, looking at his age,
the one Li Zhangge was talking about here should be Shui Rong's father!
"This Shui Rong is not simple."
"This person is different from the other three princes of East, West, and South; he is actually imperial nobility. The Northern Prince's lineage has the ambition to become Emperor."
Li Zhangge said.
Jia Hui thought deeply after hearing this.
This Northern Prince, and the current Northern Prince Shui Rong.
Indeed had something suspicious.
In his memory, the prayer beads bestowed by the Emperor expressed it very completely. The prayer beads were originally meant for brothers in distress; the Emperor used the prayer beads to express his attitude that he was brothers with the Northern Prince to win him over, which meant he was afraid the Northern Prince would rebel!
If it were Prince Zhongshun, the Emperor wouldn't need to be so troublesome.
In fact, the Emperor's winning over wasn't without foresight.
The Northern Prince, as Li Zhangge said, indeed had big problems.
Secondly, the Northern Prince casually giving the bestowed prayer beads to Jia Baoyu was a great disrespect.
Furthermore, the Northern Prince said to Jia Zheng and others: "Although I am not talented, I have received the favor of many famous scholars in the world; all those who arrive in the capital have never failed to look at me with respect, so many high-minded people have gathered." This statement of the Northern Prince clearly positions himself as Mengchangjun; if he didn't have ulterior motives, why gather so many people? If he didn't have ulterior motives, why do illegal things? In this way, people like this being close to the Jia family was the most critical factor for the Jia family's downfall.
"Prince Zhongshun being hostile to the Jia family was not the key factor for the Jia family's downfall. You must know that if the Jia family had no problems, Prince Zhongshun wouldn't have found leverage to attack the Jia family. It was precisely because the Jia family had problems themselves that they gave Prince Zhongshun an opportunity to attack. So, what leverage did Prince Zhongshun grasp? And it was related to the Northern Prince!"
Jia Hui thought of these, and his eyes flashed.
And Jia Xu and the others weren't fools either.
"Shui Rong acts without putting the Emperor in his eyes, surrounds himself with a group of famous scholars in the world, and occasionally plays the fisherman at home to pretend to yearn for the rivers and lakes. Such inconsistent behavior further represents that the Northern Prince has problems."
"Especially the Northern Prince's unremitting efforts to lure and win over the Jia family, which made the Jia family completely lose the Emperor's favor; as the Emperor's confidant, Prince Zhongshun's attitude represented the Emperor's attitude. The Emperor had long been impatient with the Jia family."
Sima Yi said.
After Jia Hui looked at them, they smiled at each other: "In that case, we can use this Shui Rong to deal with this Prince Zhongshun!"
"Let them bite each other, and we will sit back and reap the benefits!"
Hearing their words, Li Zhangge was stunned for a moment.
Then her beautiful eyes lit up.
She had great hatred for Prince Zhongshun and absolutely no good feelings for Shui Rong.
So regarding this, she didn't object.
Afterward, everyone chatted about the details, and by eight o'clock, they finally finished discussing!
Jia Hui looked at the time and smiled: "Tomorrow, it's time to close the net!"
【402】 Third time attending court! Xia Jiang is awkwardly questioned.
The night passed without a word!
Jia Hui continued to have a fulfilling nightlife.
From nine o'clock to one o'clock in the morning.
This time, except for Xichun,
everyone participated.
Because of the two great cultivation techniques, Jia Hui would only be in good condition and wouldn't be weak because of it.
Conversely, all the women also benefited greatly.
They all looked younger and younger.
After four o'clock, Jia Hui had rested well.
In three or four hours, he was full of energy.
"Is the husband going to court today?"
Qin Keqing, who was lazy, yawned, and after she and the other women served him to wash up, she asked.
Jia Hui smiled and nodded: "Today is December 7th; I haven't been to court for a few days, so it's time to go play."
