Jiang Li appeared in Nanjing City, and without waiting for Shao Dianxi to react, he went directly to the post house to meet his younger brother.

"Why don't you call Kui'er to ask? Will being so tough make the royal family even more suspicious?" Jiang Xi had received Ding Kui's summons, and he also informed Jiang Li.

"No need!" Jiang Li waved his thick arm, "The royal family's suspicion of Kui'er is also equivalent to suspicion of us!"

finally got out of it, and when the Yang family and the Xuanyuan family left the Senate, the Jiang family became the great elder, but they met the Prince Regent who did such a thing.

We have kept a low profile for too long, and the royal family may have forgotten what kind of existence the Jiang family is, since our face is useless, then we don't need to care about other people's face.

Or young people have momentum and courage, Kui'er wants to do this, I support it, and the Jiang family supports it!

To put it mildly, I don't know who will sit on that throne in the future, and the reward for the traitor may be useful.

I'll go to Shaodianxi to talk, don't get involved in this matter, hurry back to your base camp, stabilize the situation in Nannuma Prefecture as soon as possible, and then transfer to Zhongwangzhou. ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you. Jiang Xi had no objection.

A behemoth is about to show its fangs.

Since the Jiang family withdrew from the military, they have not been conspicuous, and they can't see their power in the court on the surface, but people who know that they are powerful never dare to underestimate them.

For example, the old king Shaodianlong and the former king Shaodiandan, they would not snub the Jiang family, and never dared to underestimate this family that had occupied the third place in the Senate for a long time. Jiang Xi broke the convention and succeeded Ding Dao as the commander of the General Staff.

Could it be that the Jiang family, who is in charge of the Anguo Army, is feared?

The Yang family controls the military command department, is good at forming gangs, and also has strong strength, and sits firmly on the throne of the first family in China.

The Xuanyuan family has the longest history and the special care of the royal family, coupled with the group of indigenous nobles, they are qualified to be proud of other nobles, only slightly inferior to the Yang family.

The Jiang family makes everyone known for their broad connections, there are people close to them in the government and the opposition, and there is a hardcore supporter among the nobles.

Where did the Jiang family, who did not control the country's resources, have so many supporters?

This secret has always been in the hands of the head of the family.

It turned out that after the Jiang family gained power in the Shaodian Kingdom, they did not compete for the positions of the Government Council and the Commander's Office, but secretly cultivated the children of the family, and after they became talents, they changed their names and surnames to join various departments of the government and the opposition, and at the same time tried their best to support weak nobles and inconspicuous but promising officials.

After these people grew up, they didn't seem to have a close relationship with the Jiang family on the surface, but once the Jiang family needed it, they came out to support the Jiang family and stood behind the Jiang family with a clear banner.

They usually never mention things related to the Jiang family, and some even say something to slander the Jiang family behind their backs, but they never do anything that harms the Jiang family, and they only reveal their identities after the Jiang family gives an order.

Ruki is a clear example of this, and he is not a well-hidden of those people.

All the incognito Jiang family disciples and people who have been helped by the Jiang family have a list in the hands of the head of the family, and no one else can access it, only the head of the family can really understand the huge energy hidden in the Jiang family.

The royal family vaguely guessed that the Jiang family had many hidden stakes, but they could only catch the wind and shadows, and could not find out the true situation of the Jiang family, and many kings tried their best to find out the bottom of the Jiang family.

Mainly because the Jiang family did not do anything to endanger the rule of the Shaodian clan, the royal family finally turned a blind eye to them and allowed them to interfere in the government and the opposition.

Jiang Li has the confidence to put on a tough posture to support Ding Kui, just based on the list in his hand, not to mention that the country is in turmoil, even if there is no rebel, he has the ability to wrestle with the Prince Regent.

Not long after he sent Jiang Xi away, Shao Dianxi sent someone to invite him to the county king's mansion.

An Guogong came to Nanjing City through the portal, and naturally someone notified the state pastor as soon as possible, this kind of big man arrived, Shao Dianxi couldn't pretend not to know, and he had to do the friendship of the landlord.

He saw that Jiang Li went to the post house to find Jiang Xi first, and knew that he was not here for official business, so he invited Jiang Li to his house as a guest.

"I have heard a little about the betrayal of the king, and I actually used such a trick, General Xiaoding killed the enemy in Nanqiu County and made meritorious contributions, saving the people from fire and water, but he was plotted by others when he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, which is really intolerable. ”

Shao Dianxi first mentioned Ding Kui in the casual conversation.

He knew in his heart what had happened in the capital recently, he could guess why Jiang Li came to Nannuma Prefecture, he had no prejudice against Ding Kui, but hoped that Ding Kui would contribute more to the protection of Nannuma Prefecture, so there was no conflict with Jiang Li.

"Shaodian Yong's intentions are indeed sinister, and the means are very inferior, but in terms of the content of the reward, except for the protector of the country, it is not suitable, and the others are also in line with the etiquette. Jiang Li was playing with the lid of the teacup in his hand.

Sure enough, he came for Ding Kui's fiefdom, but fortunately he was invited to come to the mansion, and such a temptation should not be listened to by outsiders.

Shao Dianxi was relieved.

In fact, he also did not agree to give the border county to Ding Kui, after all, this is not in line with the traditional practice, but considering that he always has to take out a county in his own state, Nanqiu County has been invaded within a few years, if it is really lost to Ding Kui, it is much better than sealing other counties.

"Hehe, the matter of the reward is the most familiar to your senate, and the best thing in Nannuma Prefecture should be Wen Guogong, and I will be satisfied if I can handle the state affairs well. ”

He didn't comment on Jiang Li's words, implying that he didn't participate in the affairs of the Senate, if you want to find Elder Jiang, you can go to Kong Ci.

Jiang Li seemed to be very interested in the pattern on the lid of the cup, rubbed it repeatedly with his fingers, and said in his mouth: "In the past, it was Cao Qi and the two countries who had a good time, but I didn't expect Nanmarsh Prefecture to become the target of other countries, and the in-laws and allies for many years will change, and what else in the world will not change?"

There were several meanings in these words, and Shao Dianxi couldn't help but move his body, thinking about how to answer.

"Yes, it turns out that the state pastor is so bad, but fortunately, my country is united in the government and the opposition, and the various governments and courts have given me great support and help, so that I can keep the land from losing. For this reason, I have to trouble Elder Jiang to tell Brother Ling, I am very grateful to him for defending Nannuma Prefecture. ”

Jiang Li put the lid of the cup and said with a smile: "Everyone is serving the country and doing their duty."

I think that the places that Shaodian Yong specifically mentioned must have their deep meaning, and the king of Xijun has to pay attention to it, it is easy to fall into the truth if he is not careful. ”

"Oh?" Shao Dianxi's heart froze, "Can Elder Jiang teach me how to deal with it?"

"The traitorous king wants to give the four cities to the meritorious soldiers, if you send someone to take over, maybe in the eyes of others, you are stingy with the rights and interests in your hands, and you deliberately neglect the meritorious soldiers, I am afraid that your good name will be damaged. ”

Shao Dianxi groaned and recalled Jiang Li's words, and his fingers tapped on the table, tuk tuk.

After a while, he said: "Now that that there is temporarily under the control of the military, because it involves the duty of the county guard, I dare not arrange it without authorization, and I am waiting for the Government Council to deal with it."

I originally wanted to send someone to take over several cities first to reduce the burden on the border army, but you reminded me in time, so it seems that it is appropriate to ask the Government Council to arrange it. ”

"Yes, this matter seems simple but complicated, what do you think of the soldiers who are fighting on the front line? The exploits of the tired and bloody battles have been criticized, and the things that may have belonged to them were picked by others.

Jiang Li deserves to be the elder elder, and he didn't say his purpose at all, but he clearly conveyed the purpose to Shao Dianxi. On the surface, it is completely for Shao Dianxi's sake, and he really helps Shao Dianxi solve troubles.

"Oh! I really thank An Guogong this time!" Shao Dianxi still had to appreciate it, "Otherwise, I almost fell for the traitor's trick." Well, the matter of dealing with traitors should be handled by the imperial court, and the small Nannuma Prefecture is really powerless. ”

"King Xijun is wise!" Jiang Li exaggerated his thumbs, "You think, the affairs of the Senate have been disturbed by the traitorous king, and several of our elders are helpless.

In fact, in my opinion, the most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the mood of the front-line soldiers, first solve the external troubles, and then consider our internal affairs later. ”

He didn't say a word of threat, but Shao Dianxi was secretly shocked after hearing it: Jiang Li's attitude is very tough, this time whoever opposes giving Nanqiu County to Ding Kui is not giving him face, he looks like he is stumbling to the end, I can't provoke the Jiang family, whoever wants to fight will let him go.

"Where, where, I don't know so much without Elder Jiang's tips. Let me prepare a little banquet tonight, thank you for your personal advice, be sure to appreciate it. ”

"The palace feast should have been disturbed, but the affairs were busy, not only did I have to rush back to the capital, but I also had to go to Zhongwangzhou non-stop, and the Senate and the An Guojun had important matters waiting for me to deal with. Jiang Li politely refused.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Li said goodbye and left.

Before Jiang Li could board the carriage of the palace, another gorgeous carriage came, and an old servant jumped down to salute, and then said, "The old lady implores An Guogong to go to the other courtyard for a talk." ”

The newcomer only had a family crest and no flag on it, but Jiang Li recognized that it was the Kong family, and in a blink of an eye, the people of the palace pretended not to see it and quickly retreated into the mansion.

Jiang Li bowed his head slightly and boarded the new carriage.

Sure enough, after walking a few streets, the carriage drove into the Confucian Mansion, where Gong Wenguo Kong Ci was waiting for Jiang Li.

"What bothered the Great Elder to run so far?" Kong Ci greeted him in front of the hall.

"Kong Lao is a senior, you are waiting for me inside. Jiang Li trotted forward and helped Kong Ci into the hall.

"What else can I do? I'm old, and I'm just helping the younger generations solve their problems. Didn't you come here to say goodbye to your old man and return to his hometown?" he waited for Kong Ci to sit down before taking his seat.

"Ordinary things don't tell me that this old immortal is not dead, but the young man seems to be a little fierce, and I am afraid that the younger generations will not know the severity, so I have to watch it myself to feel at ease. ”

Kong Ci said in one sentence the reason why Jiang Li went to Nanjing City and his own intentions.

"Hehe, it's rare for you to teach in person, Jiang listened attentively. Jiang Li showed enough respect.
