The advisor was encouraged by the sixth prince. He thought quickly and suddenly came up with another plan.
"Acting King, I heard that Liu Xi is the eldest legitimate daughter and not the only one. Liu She has a son of a concubine." The advisor quickly thought of a plan to sow discord in his heart. He said, "The Han family of the Central Plain has always despised women. Even if there are no sons in the family, the family business will be passed on to the stepson and not to the daughter. No matter how capable Liu Xi is, she is still an unmarried daughter … "
A married daughter is like spilled water. If she is married, she will belong to the groom's family. If she returns to the bride's family, she will be a guest.
The Han family of the Central Plain does not have the habit of handing over the inheritance of their ancestors to women.
No matter how capable a woman is, it will be a man who inherits the family business. Otherwise, it will be a dead family!
The sixth prince was a little confused. He quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
The advisor said, "Acting King, no matter how good Liu Xi is at war, Liu She is still alive. In the words of the Han family of the Central Plain, 'filial piety' can crush her. She is just an unmarried daughter. No matter how much she earns, it will be a wedding dress for the concubine's son in the future … "
The sixth prince nodded as he listened. He faintly pondered.
"You mean … to sow discord between Liu Xi and her brother? Why not let her brother compete with her? "
Jiang Pengji had not relied on her family background or connections to get to where she was today.
In other words, she had built such a large territory from scratch.
If she was forced by Liu She to hand over everything she earned to her brother because she was a woman, how could she not feel resentful?
From the perspective of the brother, it was reasonable for him to take everything from his legitimate sister because he was the one who would carry on the bloodline of the Liu family. Everything that his unmarried sister had fought for should belong to him. If Jiang Pengji was unwilling to hand it over, it would be robbery to her brother.
The advisor nodded solemnly and patted the other party's horse until it was comfortable.
"The Acting King is wise. That is exactly what I mean." The advisor smiled. "If there is trouble in the rear, Liu Xi will naturally not care about the front line."
If he could not care about the front line, it was naturally impossible for him to find out that there was something fishy about the tribe that pretended to surrender.
The sixth prince nodded and looked as if he had a sudden realization.
"Then this matter … I will leave it to you. Be sure to do it properly."
The sixth prince was a typical man of the Northern Borderline. His brain was filled with muscles.
He respected strength and advocated the supremacy of violence.
No with a brain, no with his fists, no with his fists.
As long as he had the power, there would be people to plan for him.
The advisor smiled and said, "I will not let you down."
Only by working on both sides could he quickly see results.
On one hand, the Sixth Prince manipulated the tribes to pretend to surrender, and on the other, he set fire to Jiang Pengji's rear.
In order to make Jiang Pengji lower her guard, the sixth prince deliberately withdrew some of his troops so that she could advance more steadily.
Jiang Pengji didn't get carried away with her victory. Instead, her face darkened and she ordered the army to regroup.
Qiguan Rang and Wei Ci were the first to notice the abnormality. Qiguan Rang did not ask much and instead handed the task to Wei Ci.
Jiang Pengji didn't stop what she was doing. She just lifted her eyelids. Although she didn't have any other expression, her gaze was gentle.
Liu Wei said with with with with, he said with, he "Lord. Liu," with with with With ", with with with with, with King.
In private, the lord did not put on any airs. She could often play with her subordinates, laughing and scolding without restraint.
On formal occasions, she was more steady. Her expression changed very little. If one did not observe carefully or did not understand her well enough, it would be difficult to notice.
Wei Ci could feel her emotions. She was not happy and even a little angry.
"Because of this?" Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and asked, "Zixiao, don't you think we won too easily?"
Wei Ci frowned. "Lord, do you suspect that the Northern Borderline has other plans?"
Jiang Pengji said, "No, I just can't stand the impetuous atmosphere in the camp. Let's take a break and let them cool down. "
Wei Ci thought for a while and understood Jiang Pengji's intention.
Since the war in the Northern Borderline began, the enemies they encountered had all been defeated by them. They had hardly suffered any setbacks.
Now that they had a smooth journey, the enemy was terrified. From the generals to the soldiers, they were all impetuous.
Jiang Pengji could not destroy their morale, but she could delay them and let them calm down.
Wei Ci breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If that's the case, I'm relieved."
Jiang Pengji asked in return, "What else did you think it was?"
Wei Ci was stunned for a moment. He could not help but raise his head and look straight into her eyes.
"Lord …"
Jiang Pengji said, "Coincidentally, I also have something to ask you."
Wei Ci readily said, "My lord, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Jiang Pengji said, "Between me and Lady Wei, which is more important?"
Since the war in the Northern Borderline began, this was a rare opportunity for her to be alone with Wei Ci. She wanted to ask some questions clearly.
Qiguan Rang reminded her that beating around the bush and staying silent would not solve the problem. Going straight to the point might be more effective.
Wei Ci was speechless. His eyes were full of astonishment.
"Which is more important?"
Wei Ci smiled bitterly. "You can't have your cake and eat it too. No matter how you answer this question, there will always be something unsatisfactory. "
For a son of an aristocratic family who had received an orthodox education, the family bloodline was far more important than anything else. This was what every son had to support.
However, Wei Ci was different from ordinary people. His experience in his previous life made him more open-minded than anyone else.
Between the family and her, which was more important?
Was there even a need to think about it?
"Naturally, my lord," Wei Ci said softly but firmly. "No one can be more important than you in Ci's heart."
Jiang Pengji looked straight at him and said in a low voice, "Then, Zixiao, are you willing to be a lone official by my side?"
What was a lone official?
A remote official who was isolated, helpless, or not placed in an important position. Apart from that, it also referred to people who had their own thoughts and personal integrity. They did not pursue fame, wealth, or power, but fawned on those in power. Jiang Pengji asked him if he was willing to be a lone official by her side. Her meaning was already very clear.
If he chose her, Wei Ci had to cut ties with Lady Wei cleanly.
Other than her, Wei Ci could not be loyal to anyone else.
Of course, there was a deeper meaning to this question.
Wei Ci's lips moved. "My lord, if one day the heavens warn us that the Emperor will not be passed down for one generation and Huangfu will take over, will you believe it?"
Jiang Pengji frowned when she heard that. "A warning from the heavens? What kind of warning is that? "
"A meteorite falls from the sky as a warning, and words are carved on the meteorite …"
Before Wei Ci could finish his words, he saw that his lord's eyes were filled with the words "Are you stupid?"
