Nine Hundred and Ninety Fifth: War in Northern Xinjiang (32)

Inspired by the sixth prince, the counselor turned his mind quickly, and suddenly came up with another plan.

"On behalf of the king, I heard that Liu Xi is the eldest daughter of the family and not the only daughter. Liu She still has a concubine under her knees." The staff quickly turned their minds, and a plan to sow dissension quickly took shape in their hearts. He said, "The Han family in the Central Plains has always despised women. Even if there is no male in the family, the family business will be passed on to the step-son and not to the daughter. No matter how capable Liu Xi is, she is just an unmarried daughter..."

The water splashed by a married daughter will belong to the husband's family after marriage, and belong to the guests of her mother's family.

The Han family in the Central Plains did not have the habit of handing over the inheritance of their ancestors to women.

No matter how capable a woman is, the one who inherits the family business is also a man, otherwise the family will be wiped out!

The sixth prince was a little confused when he heard it, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The staff said, "Dai Wang, no matter how good Liu Xi is in fighting, Liu She is still alive. In the words of the Han family in the Central Plains, a "filial piety" can crush her to death. No matter how much karma you have, you will still make a wedding dress for that bastard in the future..."

The sixth prince listened and nodded, thinking about it.

"You mean...to provoke Liu Xi's relationship with her concubine brother? Why don't you let her concubine brother compete with her?"

Jiang Pengji was able to get to this point, she basically did not rely on her family background and family connections.

In other words, she built such a large territory from scratch.

If Liu She forced her to hand over all the money she had earned to her younger brother because of her daughter's status, would she not feel resentful?

From the point of view of the concubine's younger brother, it is only natural for him to take away everything from his sister-in-law, because he is the one who will carry on the family line of the Liu family. Everything earned by the unmarried sister-in-law should belong to him. If Jiang Pengji was unwilling to hand it over, it would be a robbery to my younger brother.

The staff nodded solemnly and patted the opponent's horse comfortably.

"On behalf of Wang Yingming, that's exactly what he meant." The staff member smiled, "If there is trouble in the rear, Liu Xi naturally won't care about the front."

Regardless of the front line, it is naturally even more impossible to find out that the tribe that pretended to surrender is tricky.

The sixth prince nodded, looking suddenly enlightened.

"Then this matter... I will also leave it to you, and it must be done properly."

The sixth prince is a standard Northern Xinjiang man,

His brain is full of muscles.

He advocates the respect of strength and the supremacy of violence.

Brain or something, no matter how easy it is to use, can it beat his fist?

As long as he has the power, there are plenty of people who will advise him.

The aide smiled and said, "I will live up to my mission."

A two-pronged approach can achieve quick results.

The Sixth Prince set fire to Jiang Pengji's rear while planning to feign the surrender of the tribe.

In order to let Jiang Pengji relax her vigilance, the sixth prince deliberately withdrew part of her troops to make her advance more steadily.

Not only did Jiang Pengji not get carried away with her victories all the way, but instead she became sullen and ordered the army to regroup on the spot.

Qi Guanrang and Wei Ci were the first to discover the anomaly, the former didn't ask any more questions, instead handing over the task to Wei Ci.

Wei Ci "accepted orders in the face of danger", hesitating how to speak.

"Ask anything, what are you holding back for?"

Jiang Pengji didn't stop what she was doing, she just raised her lower eyelids. Although she didn't express any extra expressions, her eyes added a bit of tenderness.

Wei Ci hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord has been in a bad mood for the past few days..."

In private, the lord has always been unassuming, and can often play with his subordinates, laughing and cursing without restraint.

In formal occasions, it is relatively stable, with little change in expression, which is difficult to detect without careful observation or lack of understanding.

Wei Ci felt her emotions, the other party was not happy, even a little angry.

"For this matter?" Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows amusedly, and asked, "Zixiao doesn't think we won too easily?"

Wei Ci frowned, "My lord suspects that Beijiang has other schemes?"

Jiang Pengji said, "No, I just can't understand the impetuous atmosphere in the camp. Let's rest for a while and let them cool their heads."

Wei Ci recalled for a while, and understood Jiang Pengji's intentions.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Northern Border, all the enemies they encountered were defeated in their hands, and they hardly suffered much setbacks.

Now the journey is going smoothly, the enemy is frightened, from the generals down to the pawns, the mentality is a little impetuous.

Jiang Pengji couldn't dampen their morale, but he could slow them down and calm them down.

Wei Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "If this is the case, Ci can rest assured."

Jiang Pengji asked back, "Otherwise, what do you think is the matter?"

Wei Ci was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up into the opponent's eyes.

"My lord—"

Jiang Pengji said, "It just so happens that I also have something to ask you."

Wei Ci followed kindness like a runner, "My lord, please ask me, compassion knows everything."

Jiang Pengji said, "Me or Wei Shi, which one is more important?"

Since the Battle of Northern Xinjiang began, this was a rare opportunity for her and Wei Ci to be alone, and she wanted to ask some questions clearly.

Qi Guan woke her up a little bit, detours and silence can't solve the problem, it might be more effective to go straight to the point.

Wei Ci was dumb, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Which one is more important?"

Wei Ci smiled wryly, "You can't have both. No matter how you answer this question, there will always be something unsatisfactory."

For the orthodox-educated sons of aristocratic families, family blood is far more important than anything else, and this is what every heir must support.

But Wei Ci is different from ordinary people, his previous life experience made him more open-minded than anyone else.

Which is more important, the family or her?

Do you even need to think about it?

"Naturally, the lord." Wei Ci said softly but firmly, "No one can hold more weight in Ci's heart than you."

Jiang Pengji looked straight at him, and said in a low voice, "Then, is Zixiao willing to be my lonely minister?"

What is a lonely minister?

A remote minister who is helpless or unrespected refers to a person who has his own thoughts and personal integrity, and does not pursue fame, wealth and power but follows others. When Jiang Pengji asked him if he would like to be a lonely minister by her side, the meaning was already very clear.

To choose her, Wei Ci must make a clean break with Wei Shi.

Except for her, Wei Ci can't turn to anyone.

Of course, this question has a deeper meaning.

Wei Ci's lips twitched, "My lord, if one day, the heavens warn you that the emperor will not be passed on forever, and Huangfu will replace him, will you believe it?"

Jiang Pengji frowned upon hearing that, "Heaven warns? What kind of warning?"

"Meteorites fell from the sky as a warning, meteorites engraved..."

Before Wei Ci finished speaking, he saw the words "Are you stupid" written all over the eyes of the lord.

"First, even if the extraterrestrial meteorite has engraved words on it, and it flies from outer space to the surface of the earth, the words have long since disappeared. Second, the extraterrestrial meteorite is an unburned cosmic meteor outside the earth, fragments that have escaped from the orbit of the cause, and other planets. It is impossible for the mixed substances on the surface to have words." Jiang Pengji's words made Wei Ci very confused, he could understand every word, but he didn't recognize them when they were put together, and his lord also said, "If there is really Such a piece of meteorite engraved with [Emperor does not pass on to the first generation, Huangfu replaces him], most likely someone wants to kill you—”
