"Actually, have you ever thought about why a fool like the Ninth Prince is supported by several ministers and is regarded as a strong contender for the Sixth Prince?"
Ning Junwu asked straightforwardly, feeling a little proud in his heart.
When it comes to politics, men always have an advantage. "" Xia Xiaodong shook his head.
I really have no interest in these.
"In addition to the fact that he is a fool and easy to manipulate, it is also because he has stayed in Daqi for a period of time and has a good relationship with the former princes of Daqi, that is, the current princes.
It is inevitable for everyone to guess what the emperor means.
"Ning Junwu pointed to the ground with his finger, indicating that the Ninth Prince had stayed in Daqi.
It turns out that Qi and Chu, because of their historical origins and as neighboring countries, had a habit of arguing with each other.
It means sending a prince to each other's territory to be a hostage.
Generally speaking, the princes who can be used as hostages are the princes whom Jian is very fond of in the emperor's heart.
Otherwise, if you send a bastard over there, it will not be a pledge, it will be looking down on others.
As for being hostages, the princes are actually quite willing.
Hostages sound very dangerous and have no freedom, but in fact, the danger is almost non-existent.
Unless they really break out and start a war, they will only treat the hostages with good food, drink and hospitality.
Even if a war really breaks out, they may not be able to do so.
There is a risk of death, after all, the other party also has protons on his side.
Not to mention freedom, as long as you don't run back to your own country, you can move around freely in the host country.
Courtesy is a must.
During festivals and festivals, you can often enjoy the treatment of giant pandas.
More importantly, pledges are important political capital.
Being a hostage itself is a sufficient expression of loyalty to the country.
During the pledge period, one can also openly make friends with people from the host country.
This is one of the proton's duties.
"Zhou Jianhong once lived in the Viking City for four or five years."
Ning Junwu smiled at Xia Xiaodong and said, "The Ninth Prince was good at playing and making trouble.
When he was in Daqi, he had good relations with many clans.
King Gui should have been there at that time. " Zhou Jianhong, who once pledged Da Chu, has become the emperor of Qi.
No wonder the ninth prince who once pledged Da Qi is quite enthusiastic about the throne.
"Why didn't the Sixth Prince come over in the first place?"
The Sixth Prince should grab such a good job as a hostage.
"Originally, the emperor wanted both the sixth and ninth princes, but Da Qi chose the ninth prince."
Ning Junwu explained: "Proton is younger and easier to control."
That is, the younger you are, the easier it is to exert influence.
Everyone was young when they were princes, but when they became emperors, they had the nerve to let the boat of friendship capsize at the drop of a hat.
"Then who is holding Daqi hostage now?"
Xia Xiaodong was very curious.
"Ever since Zhou Jianhong returned to the country to fight for the throne two years ago, the Ninth Prince has also come back, and there has been no exchange of protons."
Ning Junwu said with a smile: "I guess we will not mention this matter again until later."
He spoke vaguely, but Xia Xiaodong understood.
Of course, we have to wait until Dachu also completes the replacement of old and new ones.
After understanding the previous relationship between the Ninth Prince and King Gui, Xia Xiaodong felt relieved.
King Gui didn't succeed anyway, so he should be more careful in the future.
"Then who did Ahu say in the letter?"
Since it wasn't the Ninth Prince that he guessed, it was who Xia Xiaodong looked at Ning Junwu.
Ning Junwu smiled bitterly: "It's probably Jia Auntie."

Grandma Jia has never heard of it.
Xia Xiaodong waited quietly for the next chapter.
"Grandma Jia has disappeared."
Ning Junwu sighed: "What we caught was her confidant Zhaoxia."
I have never heard of Zhaoxia.
Xia Xiaodong continued to wait quietly.
"See for yourself."
Ning Junwu moved his lips, feeling that he really didn't know where to start, mainly because Xia Xiaodong didn't know these people, and he didn't understand some of the details.
Flying pigeons can't pass several pieces of paper.
It's just a narrow and long note.
The paper is very thin and has tiny characters on it.
It looks quite laborious.
The letter only stated the basic situation.
As for the defense of the relevant personnel or the analysis of the letter writer, it was not included.
Xia Xiaodong read the letter carefully twice, returned it to Ning Junwu, half-closed his eyes, put his hands on the table like a bridge, and began to think seriously.
Ning Junwu looked at her long eyelashes that were trembling slightly, but did not disturb her.
"What kind of person is this Grandma Jia?"
Xia Xiaodong put down his hand and raised his head.
"Very old-fashioned, a person who takes death seriously."
Ning Junwu expressed his main impression: "Before I set off this time, she made a special trip to Tianbei Street to persuade me not to abandon my mother for you.
He eloped away because of his hatred."
"Why is she worried about you leaving?"
Xia Xiaodong wondered.
"Her, I, that" Ning Junwu's face darkened, feeling that he didn't seem to be doing things properly enough.
After sorting it out, he continued: "I asked someone to raise some money to take with me before I left, but Jia Auntie found out. ” Xia Xiaodong narrowed his eyes: "Who did you ask to do this?"
If the news leaks, there must be someone who leaked it.
"It's the people around me."
Ning Junwu understood Xia Xiaodong's focus and explained: "It's not that this person tipped off Jia Auntie, but Jia Auntie found out that I had taken away the money in the shop, and then she found out of."
Once you find clues, it will be much easier to continue digging.
"That is to say, Grandma Jia is always paying attention to changes in the shop and money, and also paying attention to your actions."
Xia Xiaodong said calmly.
Otherwise, how could we have discovered it in time?
Why was Xia Xiaodong summed up in this way, as if Jia Auntie had always had bad intentions?
Ning Junwu thought about Grandma Jia's behavior over the years, and then said something for her: "She has always been in charge of my mother's and my things.
I guess that's why I didn't intend to hide it from her."
"There can be several explanations for this matter."
Xia Xiaodong narrowed his eyes.
After all, Jia Aina was almost half of Ning Junwu's mother.
She had watched him grow up since he was a child, so it was better to choose the one first.
Bar.
To put it mildly, maybe this Grandma Jia just discovered that Ning Junwu Bei had planned the elopement and knew that Xia Xiaodong was very important to him.
For this reason, Grandma Jia found someone to kidnap Xia Xiaodong.
Firstly, of course Xia Xiaodong would not be sent away; secondly, without the woman, there would be no possibility of elopement; thirdly, Xia Xiaodong would be taken away later.
Return it to Ning Junwu, and then make up a story about encountering a righteous helping hand to save him by chance, so that Ning Junwu can be grateful and follow his advice.
In short, if you look at it in this direction, it is always good intentions to do bad things.

Xia Xiaodong is just the bargaining chip in the middle.
Grandma Jia's ultimate goal is to control Ning Junwu.
After listening to Xia Xiaodong's explanation, Ning Junwu really felt that it made sense.
Isn’t Grandma Jia such a controlling woman?
"This is to put it lightly," Ning Junwu asked, "What if it is to be taken seriously?"
