Chapter 309

Changing Prisoners

While Zhao Xifang was planning how to get rid of Fang Youting, King Yu was working hard to "persuade" King Jin, hand over the person to him, and go to King Jin for tea every day.

For the first three times, King Jin did not admit that Qu Wen Po was in his possession. It was not until the fourth time that he vaguely revealed that Qu Wen Po was indeed in his possession.

The King of Jin was willing to hand over people to the King of Yu, but he did not want to hear any objections to the appointment and removal of officials.

Seeing King Yu's hesitation, King Jin smiled lightly and said, "Brother Prince Xia, there is no need to rush to answer me. You can make a decision after discussing with Uncle Prince Qing."

King Yu stared at him, with a trace of anger in his eyes, "Brother King Yu, there is no need to provoke me with words."

"Brother Xia Wang, you are a junior, how can you be the leader of the elders? I am kindly reminding you, and I am not going to provoke you."

The meaning of ridicule became more obvious. King Yu waved his sleeves and left with an angry look on his face. King Jin raised his cup and drank the tea with a smile on his lips.

The next day, the second good news came from the border.

General Fan led his army to kill one thousand enemies and capture two thousand prisoners. He asked how to deal with the two thousand prisoners. Should they kill them or escort them back to Beijing?

King Qing wanted to exchange these two thousand captives for the King of Jiujiang.

The people sent by General Fan failed to rescue the King of Jiujiang, so they had to exchange prisoners.

When Jiang Changning received the greeting card from Princess Jiujiang, he was stunned, "Did she send it to the wrong one?"

The life of the King of Jiujiang is life, but the life of the soldiers is not life?

Although in the eyes of King Qing, these soldiers are all despicable, and they will die if they die.

She had limited contact with Jiang Changning, but she had a good impression of Jiang Changning.

The King of Jin did not answer him. Instead, he raised his hands to the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne and said, "Your Majesty, please allow your Majesty to discuss this matter before making a decision."

"What's wrong?" King Qing glared at the minister.

"Your Majesty, no." King Qing and King Yu said at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report." Prince Qing said loudly.

King Qing asked King Jiujiang to lead troops to the border, and Princess Jiujiang expected that something would happen.

The King of Jin chuckled and said: "My nephew thought that Uncle Qing Wang really wanted to save Uncle Wang Jiujiang. Now it seems that Uncle Qing doesn't care about Uncle Wang Jiujiang's life or death."

"After killing two thousand prisoners of war from the Di people, wouldn't Uncle Qing be worried that the Di people would be angry and kill Uncle Wang Jiujiang to vent his anger?" King Jin asked in a deep voice.

Waste is just waste. Even with elite soldiers and strong generals, it is still mud that cannot hold up the wall.

Let the little emperor, who is burdened with heavy responsibilities, find temporary relaxation and pleasure.

The prince asked doubtfully: "Is Princess Jin really that powerful?"

Although the Princess of Jiujiang despises the King of Jiujiang for being a loser, the husband and wife are kind to each other for a hundred days, and the King of Jiujiang treats her well. She does not want to be a widow, so she must save the King of Jiujiang.

"If she hadn't stayed in the palace to raise her baby, I would have paid a visit long ago, but it's not too late now." Princess Jiujiang called her maid in, wrote a greeting note in her own hand, and ordered it to be sent to Prince Jin's palace.

"How is this different from letting the tiger return to the mountain?"

"Mother and concubine, in the court, more people admire Prince Jin than Prince Qing. If you want to save your father, you may not be able to rely on Prince Qing, so you have to rely on Prince Jin." The prince analyzed.

"Prince Qing, General Fan is actively rescuing King Jiujiang. You should be more patient and don't be too impatient. Some things cannot be rushed." King Changshan advised.

If he dares to speak out, he will either be scolded by a general who loves his soldiers as much as his son, or he will be punished by civil servants.

What happened in the palace was soon known to the family of the King of Jiujiang after someone informed him about it.

She is a nephew's wife, and there is no etiquette for an aunt to visit her nephew's wife.

"It's not called being powerful, it's being clever and resourceful. Prince Jin is so lucky to have such a good princess by marriage." Princess Jiujiang said with a smile.

"It is better to meet Princess Jin than to meet Princess Jin. Princess Jin is cowardly and incompetent. She may not be able to speak in front of Prince Jin."

"The Di people are ambitious and dare to invade. These two thousand prisoners of war will be killed on the spot." King Qing said ferociously.

After being married for many years, the Princess of Jiujiang certainly knew that the Prince of Jiujiang was a useless person who was incompetent in writing and martial arts.

"If he is really cowardly and incompetent, will outsiders know nothing about the news in Prince Jin's palace?"

I just didn't expect that the King of Jiujiang would be captured by the enemy as soon as the battle began.

How could this matter be left to the King of Jin to take the lead?

"It's inappropriate to exchange two thousand for one person." Some officials disagreed.

The exchange of prisoners failed. King Qing said angrily: "Are we going to ignore the King of Jiujiang and let him be imprisoned and subjected to all kinds of humiliation?"

Princess Jiujiang sneered, "The rumors are not credible. If Princess Jin is really cowardly and incompetent and has no status in front of Prince Jin, will the concubines in Prince Jin's palace be changed again and again?"

"Then concubine, let's go see her." The prince didn't know Jiang Changning, so he could only agree with the words of Princess Jiujiang.

"You're right. I'm just a female family member and it's not easy to go see Prince Jin. You go find Prince Jin. I'll send a post to Prince Jin's Mansion to meet Princess Jin."

The little emperor nodded, "This matter will trouble the King of Jin and the ministers."

Among the three regents, the young emperor had the best impression of King Jin, mainly because King Jin would give the young emperor some intellectual toys that Jiang Changning made for his son.

"Prince Qing, please forgive me for speaking frankly. One life has always been exchanged for another. General Fan took the lead and fought bloody battles to achieve such results. Just exchanging prisoners like this, how can he be worthy of those generals who died on the battlefield?

"

The young emperor did not hear anything, and signaled to his chamberlain to call for retreat. He got up, left the throne, and walked toward the inner court.

Prince Qing's face changed slightly, and he just made a speech out of anger and made a mistake.

"I'm afraid this Princess Jin is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. She is an orphan, but she can firmly hold the position of Princess Jin and make it impossible for Princess Jin to find fault. She must be a capable person."

But he would never admit this in public, and still said forcefully: "Then you can tell me how to deal with these prisoners of war more safely."

King Jin, King Changshan and others walked out of the palace chatting and laughing. King Qing looked back at their backs with murderous intent in his eyes.

Princess Jiujiang angrily said to the prince: "Prince Qing wants to kill your father."

But he couldn't and didn't dare to say it out loud.

No matter how noble the King of Jiujiang is, there is no need to trade two thousand people for his life.

"Would Princess Jin give birth to her eldest son, take care of herself, and then become pregnant again?"

"What are you talking about? Why did I not care about the life and death of King Jiujiang?" King Qing asked sternly.

"These two thousand prisoners of war are all veterans who have experienced the battlefield. Should we replace them and let them wear armor again to fight against our army?"

"Rescuing the King of Jiujiang is not an urgent matter. The most important thing now is what to do with these two thousand prisoners of war?" a courtier said.

But since the Princess of Jiujiang sent a greeting card, as her nephew's daughter-in-law, she couldn't refuse. So, Jiang Changning wrote a reply in his own hand, saying that he would be waiting for you at his residence tomorrow.

In the evening, King Jin returned to his mansion. Jiang Changning told him about the matter. King Jin smiled and said, "She must have come to save the King of Jiujiang. Please accept the gift and tell her that I will try my best to mediate."

After listening to his words, Jiang Changning knew what he was talking about.

Late update today. I'm sorry. Yesterday I had vomiting and diarrhea. I also had a low-grade fever and ringing in the brain. My whole body was like a machine that was about to be scrapped. It couldn't be started. I could only lie in bed, dying. As I told them, when I saw Mrs.

Grandma.
