Prince De thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember who the lord of Jiangling City was? He looked at Prince Xiao.

Prince Xiao's face looked particularly ugly. Seeing Prince De look at him, Ye Qingran also looked like him. The ministers gradually looked at him. He was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Others didn't know it. He should have known all of them. He gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor Bing, the city lord of Jiangling City is Jiang Lie. He...he is my brother-in-law."

As soon as these words were said, the ministers looked at Prince Xiao in surprise, and then they remembered that his princess surnamed Jiang, and they all looked at Prince Xiao.

Princess Xiaochen's face turned pale and seemed to be disbelief.

"Hmm?" Ye Qingran narrowed his eyes, as if he suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Tell him for his whole life."

Prince Xiao responded to "yes" and hurriedly said, "The emperor should know that Jiangnan, Xiqinglu, Dongping Qianmen, and Beifeng Hanmen are the four famous families that have emerged after the ten families of hidden generations a hundred years ago. Each of these four famous families has unique skills and is famous all over the world. The brocade of Jiangnan, the silver ware of Xiqinglu, the hidden weapon of Dongping Qianmen, and the exploration of Hanmen in the north. When the ancestors founded the dynasty, these four famous families developed too fast, which affected the national fortune and business lineage.

The ancestor was not happy, but if these four families were searched, it would turmoil the initial stable court. So the ancestor adopted a pacification policy. He recruited the legitimate sons of the four famous families to enter the court and entrust official positions. In fact, it was also a surveillance of the four famous families and took their sons as their qualities. Later, when the ancestor was in the court, the four famous families were peaceful and obeyed themselves. After the ancestor passed away, Emperor Taizu still had a pacification policy for the four famous families and married the princess respectively. It was also very peaceful. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Xiqing Lu clan assisted

At that time, the crown prince seized the throne, and was implicated in the nine tribes and uprooted. The other three families respectively sent women into the palace to accompany the king. A few years later, a woman from the Han family ranked first among the four concubines, but she wanted to ascend to heaven in one step, so she secretly killed the queen, was killed and destroyed, and committed suicide. The Han family in the north was implicated. After the house was confiscated, she was sent to a cold and humid place north of the northern border. When Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, that is, when the emperor was the first, the only four high sects left in Jiangnan was the Jiang family.

He Dongping Qianmen. He has always been stable and has never done anything special. Instead, he was favored by the Emperor Xian Tai, and he was granted the title of the Emperor Shangqing. Later, in his later years, the Emperor married his daughter to the Wei minister, who is the princess of the current minister. After the Emperor ascended the throne, the Emperor Xianhuang selected the imperial examination and left a charity of the princess in the palace and named Rubin Ru, who was very favored by the Emperor Xianhuang, but because the Emperor Xianhuang demoted King Yun to the military camp in Xishan, he fought with Rubin Rubin's brother and beat him to death..."

When the ministers heard this, they immediately remembered that Princess Yun seemed to have said this earlier, and only talked about Rupin's brother, the emperor's brother-in-law, but they didn't even remember that Rupin was born in Jiang and was the princess's concubine's sister.

"Continue!" Ye Qingran sat down and spoke in a deep voice.

"Later, the late emperor had no choice but to advise the ministers, Lieutenant General Ru condemned the emperor's favored concubine and killed his wife, saying that Ru's concubine caused trouble to the emperor, and this matter implicated Jiang's family. The empress dowager killed Ru's concubine, and the emperor demoted Jiang's family to the southwest, which is now Jiangling City. However, the late emperor felt guilty of Ru's concubine, so he appointed Jiang Lie, the son of Jiang's family, as the prince and guarded Jiangling City." Prince Xiao rested his nerves for a moment and hurriedly said: "Jiang Lie has not committed any troubles in these years. Thanks to the former emperor Long'e, he has been guarding Jiangling City with loyalty. He should not... stop Cangting from suppressing bandits."

"Is it because he was jealous of the former emperor's death and demoted the Jiang family's sect to the southwest? He helped Li Qi's bandits and intercepted Young Master Cang to quell the rebellion?" A minister said in confusion after hearing this.

Prince Xiao was speechless because he didn't know.

"Does Princess Xiao know the reason?" Ye Qingran looked at Princess Xiao.

Princess Xiaochen shook her head quickly, "I don't know that my wife has not had any contact with that lineage over the years. The emperor deserves to know that after the illegitimate lineage was demoted to the southwest, the direct lineage of Jiang's family, ten years ago, sent troops to quell the northern border with King Rong and Hou Wenbo, and my father and brother died in the northern border. Now the Jiang family in the capital is only left with orphans and widows, and the southwest is thousands of miles away, so the contact is naturally broken."

"There are three natural barriers in the southwest, one is the Hengshuidu in Jiangling City, the second is Yunling Mountain, and the third is the mud forest in the southwest city. Now the southwest city has been captured, and the governor of Lingquan County has been killed ten days ago, and Lingquan County has fallen. A few days later, the rebels took down Guhe, Fenshui, and Linwu. In just 20 days, nearly 500 miles of territory were lost in the southwest. Cangting walked for twenty days, but he was intercepted at Hengshuidu in Jiangling City. It's so good!" Ye Qingran was furious.

The ministers held their breath, and everyone felt that the rebels were too powerful. No one would have thought that Li Qi, a bandit leader who was born in a blacksmith, would have used his troops like a god? Could it be that the southwest areas did not resist at all and let him rush around?

It is really two thousand miles southwest, too far from the capital, and it is beyond reach.

"Think about it carefully, what else can be done besides the Ru Prince Ru's incident? Why did Jiang Lie intercept Cang Ting?" Ye Qingran calmed down and looked at Prince Xiao Dao.

Prince Xiao nodded quickly and thought hard.

All the ministers were waiting for him. Although the direct lineage of Princess Xiaochen, a branch of Princess Xiao, had long had no contact with the illegitimate lineage, but their bloodlines were connected. Jiang Lie was Princess Xiaochen's illegitimate brother, and he was also his brother-in-law. The older generation of court officials knew about this. In those days, the old emperor was able to protect the lives of the illegitimate lineage and demoted to Jiangling, not only for the sake of Rupin Ru, but also for the sake of Princess Xiaochen.

Prince Xiao thought for a long time, but he didn't think of it. He just said, "Go back to the emperor, I don't know anything except these. As my wife said, the illegitimate lineage is far away from thousands of miles away, and I have already stopped contact. I also have limited knowledge of this Jiang Lie."

Ye Qingdian's face was stripped down and said to Ye Tianyi: "Leave this matter to you to investigate. Be sure to find out the reason why Jiang Lie stopped Cangting."

"Yes!" Ye Tianyi nodded.

Ye Qingran turned around and ordered Yan Mo, "You should leave the city now and stop the little princess so that she doesn't have to go to Nanliang. Hold my Emperor's sword and whip it to Jiangling City and order to open the city gate. If it doesn't open, kill Jiangling City Lord Jiang Lie without mercy!"

"Yes!" Yan Mo hurried out of the Imperial Garden when he heard this.

The ministers looked worried, and everyone wondered whether the bandits in the southwest would affect the court. They had previously verbally conquered the southern border, but now they were about to fight, but Young Master Cang was stopped in Hengshuidu and had not yet met the rebels. This was really worrying.

"Let's just be here today!" Ye Qingran had no intention of having a banquet anymore. After saying that, she left the imperial garden and walked towards the imperial study.

The ministers hurriedly greeted the emperor, and everyone thought that this banquet today was really twists and turns.

Prince De looked at Prince Xiao, and Prince Xiao sighed, and the two followed Ye Qingran to the imperial study.

The rest of the people dispersed.

Princess De and other female family members naturally did not stop and walked out. Leng Shaozhuo stepped forward to help Princess Xiao, who was pale and said softly: "Mom, I'll send you back to your house."

Prince Xiao’s mansion held Leng Shaozhuo’s hand tightly, and looked at him opening his mouth to say something, but he didn’t say anything.

Leng Shaozhuo gave her a soothing look and said to the Sixth Princess who was still sitting there: "Sixth Princess, go back to the palace. Although the weather is warm, you shouldn't wear so little. You should cherish your body. When the peach blossoms in Lingtai Temple are blooming for a few days, I have to spare a day to accompany you to enjoy the peach blossoms. You should also go out of the palace to relax."

"Okay!" The Sixth Princess nodded, responded in a low voice, got up and left. She had just taken two steps, and suddenly turned to Yun Li and said, "Class Yun, you and I should go to the Empress Dowager's harem to pick up the seventh sister! Since she wants to go back home, you should protect her. Otherwise, if you don't pick it up today, the mother will probably not let her go back."

Yun Li frowned and stood still.

"Seventh Sister has always been very nice to you. In the past, she wouldn't let me say anything harshly to you. Now Prince Yun dislikes Seventh Sister? I think she is a burden? Don't forget that what she carries in her belly is your flesh and blood." said the Sixth Princess.

Yunli nodded and followed the Sixth Princess.

When Leng Shaozhuo saw the two of them leaving, he helped Princess Xiao walk outside the palace and came outside the palace. When the two got on the carriage, there was no one else, Princess Xiao whispered: "If your father knew that I had sent a letter to your uncle and asked him to stop Cangting, he would definitely not forgive me."

"Don't worry, my father wouldn't know that you wrote to my uncle to stop him. He has not allowed you to contact the Jiang family's illegitimate family for years, and you really didn't contact him. He must have thought it was you." Leng Shaozhuo said in a low voice.

Princess Xiaochen closed her eyes, "Zhuo'er, just know what you are doing. Mom only helps you this time. In addition to you being my son, there is another reason for Mom to help you. The Jiang family has secret training, and your father has never known it. The Jiang family has secret training, whether it is a man or a woman, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man or a man, a man and a man, a man and a man, a man and a man, a man and a man, a man and a man, are mutually helpful. Brothers are the backing of sisters, and sisters are the support of brothers. Therefore, even if you die, you will not forget that you are a man from Jiang, and you will not forget that the former emperor pretended to be favored by Rupin to destroy the Jiang family, and you will not forget that he was demoted to the southwest, nor will you forget the father and brother who died ten years ago in the northern border."

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry, mom." Leng Shaozhuo nodded.

"How can I allow others to snore on the side of Ye's bed? The top ten aristocratic families of those days were wise and escaped the desire of the ancestor emperor to eradicate the ancestor emperor, but the four newly-established families did not know that they wanted to carry forward the family. But what can they do? They were not noticed by the royal family, and had the intention to prevent and eradicate them? From generation to generation, when the late emperor, the two major aristocratic families were left in the Jiang family and the Qian family. The late emperor demoted the Jiang family's sanctuary lineage and went to the southwest, dividing the Jiang family's family's family's business. The most taboo for such a famous family is to separate the family. Just like a chopstick is easy to fold, it is not easy to fold two chopsticks. The remaining father and brother of the Jiang family died, and the Jiang family was left with orphans and widows, and they could not become grand. Therefore, the late emperor was no longer thinking about it, and the goal began to turn to the Qianmen again. However, someone was always guarding the Qianmen behind it.
