Jiang Shaohua opened the letter in front of Wang Jin.

Prime Minister Wang's apology document is rigorously worded and expresses his sincerity in an honorable manner.

No matter how decent it is, it's still an apology. In this round, Prime Minister Wang lost solidly. The price she has to pay is to replant a new crop of grain seeds for Yan County. This is also a considerable additional expenditure for the current Nanyang Palace.

No, it's worth it to make Prime Minister Wang bow his head. You can also gain the favor of the new emperor and Empress Dowager Zheng, and increase your presence and favorability in the court, killing three birds with one stone.

"The princess will accept this letter." Jiang Shaohua slowly put down the letter, and Chen Sheren at the side stepped forward smartly and held the letter down.

"Please tell the Fourth Young Master Wang to Prime Minister Wang when you return. From today on, the grudges between this princess and Prime Minister Wang will be wiped out."

"I hope Prime Minister Wang will not cause trouble again. Otherwise, it will not be that simple next time."

Wang Jin's brows moved, and the passionate young man's heart was poured with ice water.

Jiang Shaohua's attitude was unexpectedly tough. These words, far from seeming to be a "write off", are clearly adding fuel to the fire in pursuit of victory. There seemed to be a chasm between him and her.

This natural chasm is called "different roads do not work together".

Wang Silang suppressed his complicated emotions and responded calmly: "I will definitely bring the princess's words to my father."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly and stood up like a winner: "Then I won't keep the Fourth Young Master Wang."

Wang Jin had no choice but to say goodbye.

Jiang Shaohua didn't even see him off in person. He called Ma Yaozong over and said, "Masher, on behalf of my princess, I would like to see the Fourth Young Master Wang off."

Ma Yaozong accepted the order in high spirits and respectfully sent Prince Wang off.

……

Wang Jin, filled with indescribable anger, silently got into the carriage and returned to Wang's house.

Over the years, the Wang family has grown like a city, and countless officials send greetings to see Prime Minister Wang every day. Officials serving in more than 300 counties and more than 1,000 counties in the forty states of Daliang went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to camp. The concierges and stewards of the Wang family are all very dignified. They don't even move their brows when meeting officials below the sixth rank.

In the past two days, the number of greetings sent in has dropped significantly.

The officials who were just like grass on the wall smelled something unusual from the new emperor's actions, so they had to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

"This is officialdom, flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior, following the trend." Prime Minister Wang taught his son expressionlessly: "You should understand now, the so-called Prime Minister's gang members are actually far less than you think. When the Prime Minister gains power, they They are all members of the Prime Minister's party. Once the Prime Minister loses power, they will never sink the ship with him, but will quickly climb onto another ship."

Wang Jin let out a sullen breath: "My son has memorized everything."

Prime Minister Wang continued calmly: "However, this is nothing. I have been in the officialdom for decades, up and down, and I only suffer from depression occasionally. It is not something that a yellow-haired girl can defeat."

"This Jiang Shaohua is really a powerful person who can use the power of the Queen Mother and the new emperor to deal with me. Fortunately, she is a woman. Due to her status, what she can do is limited. If she were a man, she would be the leader of the Liang Dynasty in the future. Her world.”

Wang Jin was a little shocked and looked up at Prime Minister Wang: "Father thinks so highly of the princess?"

Prime Minister Wang snorted coldly: "Even if you take advantage of the situation, it is not unusual for me to suffer such a big loss. Compared with her, you are indecisive and soft-hearted."

"Zheng Chen is too arrogant and self-confident and ruthless." "Jiang Yi is too restless and impetuous to be useful, and Li Boyuan is too rough-minded to be useful."

This round of sharp comments made Wang Jin sweat. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "In father's heart, are we not as good as the princess?"

Prime Minister Wang asked coldly: "If you were thirteen years old and a girl, you would be able to do so many things?"

Wang Jin fell silent.

"Princess Baohua, the head of Dongping County, and others cannot be compared with Princess Nanyang." Prime Minister Wang was obviously emotionally unstable today. He rarely commented on several noble girls in the palace: "Princess Baohua is a legitimate princess, but She lost her mother when she was young and was raised by the Queen Mother. She is like a flower in a greenhouse. It is beautiful but cannot withstand the wind and rain. "

"The Lord of Dongping County is narrow-minded and jealous, the Lord of Huaiyang County is short-sighted and stingy, and the girl from the Fan family who is the princess's companion is too naive and simple."

"Compared with Jiang Shaohua, they are like birds in a cage."

For some reason, Wang Jin felt a little chilled when he heard his father praising Princess Nanyang like this.

He knew his father's temper very well.

Thinking about someone seriously and carefully in this way means that the father has regarded the other person as a real opponent. He is watching with eager eyes, and once he takes action, he will never show mercy.

"Father," Wang Jin couldn't help but whisper: "The canonization ceremony of the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother will be held soon. The princess will also leave the capital and return to Nanyang County soon, and will not easily set foot in the capital again."

Prime Minister Wang twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed directly at his son's heart: "What? Are you pleading for Jiang Shaohua, are you afraid that I will take action against Nanyang County?"

Is there any need to be afraid? With Prime Minister Wang's temper, he will definitely take action.

Wang Jin sighed secretly in his heart and whispered: "Father also said that no matter how powerful the princess is, she still belongs to the girl. After all, this court is not a place for her to stay for a long time. When she returns to her Nanyang County, her father will just be her prime minister. , why bother making another enemy?”

"Innocent! Childish!" Prime Minister Wang's face darkened, and he scolded his son mercilessly: "I just said so much, but you didn't even listen to it?"

"With such strength, such a city, and such means, you still treat her as an ordinary girl and ask me to show mercy to her? What I should consider now is how she will move next and how I will respond."

"Does she really want to go back to Nanyang County? She's just saying it to deceive everyone. After having tasted the feeling of having power, no one is willing to let it go. Her words now have weight in Jingyang Palace and can influence the emperor's attitude. He has a good relationship with Mr. An Guo.”

"Do you know how many courtiers have private dealings with Nanyang Palace? Among them, there are even two so-called followers of the Prime Minister!"

"Even if I want to take action against such political opponents, I can't rush in. I have to be fully prepared and wait for the most suitable opportunity. Either I don't take action, but once I do, I must hit it with one blow."

Wang Jin gasped, not knowing what to say.

Prime Minister Wang stared at Wang Jin and said sternly: "Stop those youthful thoughts of yours earlier. Our Wang family cannot tolerate such ambitious women."

Wang Jin was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, father. I have no other thoughts about the princess."

"Even if I have occasional thoughts, the princess still looks down on me."

Prime Minister Wang: "..."
