In the next two days, Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng were working on books together.
The relationship between the two is also closer than before.
However, when Qu Xiaofeng asked Xiang Nan to take her out to play, Xiang Nan still refused.
"Why, if you don't tell me, can you take me out to play?" Qu Xiaofeng asked puzzled.
Xiang Nan promised her before that he would take her out to play, but now he refuses, which really puzzles her.
"I didn't make a crown prince before, so it's not too much for me to go out with you." Xiang Nan explained, "But you are about to become a princess and marry my second brother. How can I take you out again?"
"What kind of rule is this?" Qu Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "I don't want to marry him. Besides, after marriage, can I not have friends?"
"The rules of the Rich Dynasty are like this." Xiang Nan nodded, "Now we can still study books together. When you get married in the future, it will be considered as exceeding the rules for us to meet again."
"Oh, I really don't want to marry him." Qu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sighed.
The conversation between the two was overheard by the servant girl Chan'er who was serving at the side.
…
"Prince, that's what the Ninth Princess said." Chan'er then went to the East Palace to learn from Li Chengye.
"Well, I see, thank you for your hard work." Li Chengye nodded and smiled at her.
Chan'er blushed immediately, "It's a slave servant's honor to be able to work for the prince."
"Well, step back first." Li Chengye ordered.
"This barbaric woman really doesn't know what to do." After Chan'er retreated, Li Feng said to Li Chengye.
"Don't pay attention to her. She has to marry if she wants to marry, and if she doesn't want to marry, she has to speak at any time." Li Chengye sneered, "Fifth brother thinks that if he chases her with a little effort, he can make her marry him , and then won the position of prince, the result is nothing but nothing."
"That's right." Li Feng sneered, "The more he pursues with all his heart, the more heartache he will feel when he loses it."
"Okay, let's not talk about him, how is the Buddha statue going?" Li Chengye asked.
"The arrangement has been made, and it is proceeding closely and orderly." Li Feng said hurriedly.
"Very good." Li Chengye nodded, "Let the ministers come forward and urge the Holy Majesty to decide on the candidate for Marquis of Zhenbei. I must drive the fifth brother out of the capital."
Li Feng nodded.
…
Two days later, the imperial palace held a Cuju competition.
Gao Zhen and Zhao Shixuan, the son of Zhao Jingyu, actually started fighting.
It turned out that both of them liked Mingyue girl from Mingyufang, and because of this, they were jealous and refused to give in to each other, and they had already formed a hatred.
Taking advantage of this Cuju competition, Gao Zhen did something wrong and broke Zhao Shixuan's leg with one kick.
The black attack made everyone present feel astonished.
Even Xiang Nan doubted whether this was a trick of Gao Xiang and Zhao Jingyu, or whether Gao Zhen really wanted to take personal revenge.
The Cuju competition ended early.
…
Two days later, at the time of the court, Li Xi brought up the matter of the selection of the Marquis of Zhenbei again.
"I have received a lot of memorials recently, all urging me to determine the candidate for the Marquis of Zhenbei as soon as possible. Let's discuss and discuss today to see who is the best candidate." He said, "Prince, tell me what you think. .”
"Father, my son thinks that the fifth younger brother, King Yi, is the most suitable." Li Chengye got up and said, "The fifth younger brother is not only smart and brave, but also familiar with the affairs of the Western Region. Marquis of Zhenbei, couldn't be more suitable.
Besides, the fifth younger brother wanted to edit the "Western Territory Local Chronicles", and it was undoubtedly the most appropriate to go to the Western Territory for on-the-spot surveys and obtain first-hand real information. "
Xiang Nan cursed inwardly when he heard it.
This Li Chengye really hates himself for not dying, and wants to drive him out of Beijing, it is too much.
"Cheng Yin~" Li Xi immediately called Xiang Nan's name.
Xiang Nan immediately got out of class and knelt down, "My son is here."
"Are you willing to guard the western border for your father?" Li Xi asked.
Xiang Nan was speechless.
He asked this question, besides answering "yes", do he have other options?
However, as soon as he answered "yes", he had to be sent to the Western Territory. From then on, the emperor's throne will no longer be his own, Qu Xiaofeng will marry Li Chengye, and his mission will fail.
But if you answer "no", you will be dragged out immediately.
Therefore, Xiang Nan's thoughts turned, and then he gritted his teeth, "Of course I am willing to do my best for my father, and die. It's just that I am too young, with little talent and learning, and I am afraid that I am not capable enough to manage Dan Chi.
Kuang Danchi king's tent was captured by the son-in-law, and the son-in-law went to guard Danchi, fearing that the people of Danchi would find it hard to obey. If there is a civil uprising at that time, the sons and ministers will die. "
…
Li Xi fell silent when he heard this.
He knew that Xiang Nan didn't want to go to the Western Territory, but in order for Li Chengye to successfully inherit the Datong, he still hoped that Li Chengyin could go to Danchi, so as to avoid the tragedy of brother killing again.
It's just that what Xiang Nan said makes sense.
Although he is smart and brave, he has no experience in governing. If he is not good at governance and stirs up civil uprisings, Dan Chi will rebel just after he recovers.
At that time, the western border will be in chaos again.
At this moment, Gong Peijin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, got up and said, "I report to the Holy Majesty, I think what King Yi said is reasonable. Dan Chi has always had a tough and unruly people, and I have not had much effect on him over the years in the rich dynasty." .
His Royal Highness Yi Wang is young and lacks experience. It is indeed difficult to guard one side. I would like to recommend a person to the Holy One. This person is sophisticated, loyal and reliable. He not only has a prominent official position, but also has experience in governing. It couldn't be more suitable for him to guard Danchi. "
"Which Aiqing is Gong Aiqing talking about?" Li Xi asked curiously upon hearing this.
As the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Gong Peijin has always been a good official, honest and self-disciplined, clean and self-disciplined, not affiliated with the powerful, and not ganged up with cliques, he is still very popular with him.
"General of the Fuguo Zhao Jingyu." Gong Peijin said immediately.
"How could it be him?", "It could be him?", "How could he do it?"
When the officials heard this, they were all taken aback and questioned.
Li Xi was also taken aback for a moment, and then glanced at Gao Ming, seeing that his expression was also slightly shocked, guessing that Zhao Jingyu should not belong to him.
"General Zhao conquered the Southwest back then, not only won a complete victory, but also governed the Southwest very well." Gong Peijin then explained the reason, "General Zhao is brave, resourceful, and has experience in governance. Let him guard Danchi, and then It's just right."
Hearing what he said, everyone thought it over carefully, and felt that it was indeed reasonable.
Although Zhao Jingyu has been idle in recent years, he also made great contributions back then. Under his rule, the Southwest had been peaceful for many years without any trouble.
If he hadn't taken credit for being arrogant, offended Gao Ming, and was transferred back to the capital to idle, he would still be his King of Zhennan now.
