Qin Guogong said coldly: "Then what if you are really outclassed by Xiao Er?! Xiao Er and the others have been going to the north for several years, and their promotions are not as good as ordinary soldiers who joined the army at the same time. Your father keeps saying that he is afraid that they are young and impetuous and need All the hard work is done in unimportant places, and the level of reuse is not as high as that of Ou Bikong from the Ou family—do you really think I don’t know?”
The second son he calls, the second brother Jiang Yashuang calls, is Jiang Tianyao's second son Jiang Yayue.
... A few years after Jiang Tianchi surrendered to the army, Jiang Tianqi and others realized their previous mistakes - out of greed for the prosperity of the capital and a sense of superiority to denounce the court, a group of them almost broke their heads fighting for the support of their father and uncle in the court. , Jiang Tianchi silently monopolized military resources! How does this work? !
However, Jiang Tianchi has great plans, and as a noble son, he insists on starting from a soldier step by step!
With his example, if those who come after him do not learn from him, it will be difficult to convince others; if they learn from him, they will have to succumb to him because they are a step late. Therefore, Jiang Tianqi and the others could not lose their dignity or let go of their status in the court, so they had no choice but to send their son to the army to prevent the Zhenbei Army from losing their skin.
Now the first, third, and sixth families all have children in the Zhenbei Army, and they all started as soldiers - and then they have the highest position so far, and they have thousands of people under their control, and they are not elites.
Now that Qin Guogong asked this question, Jiang Yashuang's eyes changed, and then she said in a calm tone: "Grandpa naturally knows everything, but since he hasn't mentioned it for so many years, he thinks he loves the fourth room."
"Don't think that you can bargain with me for what happened to your eighth brother!" Qin Guogong looked at him, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Although your uncle and aunt had no good intentions when they raised him, they forced him to It was your mother who handed him over to the elder brother! Besides, your eighth brother was ruined by your uncle and aunt - when did your eighth sister-in-law deliberately teach Xiaoliu that they are not the same age? It’s too big to live up to!”
It is true that little Mrs. Tao did not intentionally teach Jiang Yazhu bad, but the problem is that little Mrs. Tao, who has a weak temperament, cannot bear or dare not say a harsh word to discipline her brother-in-law. In the atmosphere of dandies among her peers in the Jiang family, she, The sister-in-law is someone who can be stepped on by anyone among the sisters-in-law. Is it strange that Jiang Yazhu disobeys her and goes to imitate her
Jiang Yashuang sneered in her heart and said calmly: "Grandpa misunderstood. What grandson means is that grandfather acquiesced in his father's control of his second brother's future. Isn't it to keep his grandson safe?"
"Why do you think your second brother is under your father's command, but your father and your uncle are exchanging hostages?!" Qin Guogong's voice became louder, "You bastards! Are you blood relatives! Or are you enemies of life and death?! How do you treat your elders like this?”
"My second brother has been in the army for several years, and his performance has always been mediocre. However, the method of using troops he wrote this time is extremely outstanding. My father's evaluation is that he is very much like his grandfather!" Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "But this method of using troops is very good." However, he did not intend to show it to his father. Instead, he planned to secretly ask someone to take it back to the capital and ask his uncle to pass it on to you and your uncle! How wise my grandfather is, don’t you understand the intention of your uncle and your second brother? "
Qin Guogong sneered: "You suspect that your uncle is planning to attack you. Turns out that your father has no useful biological flesh and blood, so he has to cultivate his nephew to take over the Zhenbei Army - and even if you are not counted, your father is not willing to choose just for your eighth brother. The nephew of the eldest brother... But if the eldest brother performs well, your uncle and I will naturally put pressure on your father to cultivate Xiao Er? "
A clear look of anger appeared on the old man's face, and he said in a cold voice, "You think I'm dead, don't you!? With your uncle's little thoughts, I can't protect you, can I?!"
"I dare to ask my grandfather, since the second brother has such a talent, why did he hide it for so many years?" Jiang Yashuang asked lightly, "Isn't it possible that the uncle plotted against the eighth brother and used himself to save others, and was worried that the second brother would have a similar experience at the hands of his father... That’s why I ordered my second brother to hide and lie dormant, only to emerge at the most critical moment?”
He raised his head, his eyes as bright as morning stars filled with the unique edge and vigor of a young man, "Now the second brother finally plans to make a big splash - Grandpa, please be fair, isn't this a sign that the uncle wants to do something bad to me?! The third uncle wants to do something bad for me?!" The sixth uncle once argued with his uncle about his position in the court, but his father went to northern Xinjiang as a weakling and never stood in his way! In his greetings on New Years and holidays, when did his father neglect his uncle? When did you say something dissatisfied with your uncle? What did your father get in exchange for giving in?"
With the prestige of the Duke of Qin, when faced with this question, he could not help but be stunned and speechless...
Yes, although Jiang Tianchi deliberately suppressed his nephews, he really didn't fight for anything against Jiang Tianao...
Of course, the Duke of Qin knew very well that the reason why the second son did not fight was not because he did not want to fight, but because he clearly knew that fighting was useless - Jiang Tianqi, the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, and Jiang Tianqi, the only son of the Marquis of Jibei, are not an example. It's better to be generous and gain a good reputation.
But he has never fought - in terms of obeying his father's orders and being humble to his cousin, Jiang Tianchi is the best among the brothers!
In this case, Jiang Tianao still plotted against his eldest son, Qin Guogong. No matter how much he thought of his brother's kindness and favored Jiang Tianao, he had to remain silent at this moment!
"Of course my grandson believes that grandpa will protect his grandson!" Jiang Yashuang calmed down her emotions and returned to a calm tone, "But now, the battle for the crown prince is imminent. After that, the Gu family was cleaned up, and the fourth aunt was promoted to the queen mother to take over the power. , How can we divide things in court... With so many things waiting for you to decide, how can you bear to worry about your grandson's safety and be sad about your uncle's behavior! Of course, you can only solve some problems by yourself!"
Duke Guo of Qin laughed heartily, but there was no joy in his laughter. After he finished laughing, he looked at his grandson coldly and said contemptuously: "You were taught by me, and you still use such words to coax me?! Do you really miss me?" Stop worrying and be upset, you shouldn’t jump out at this moment to target your uncle!”
"Then the uncle became more and more emboldened and pursued and beat up his grandson even more?!" Jiang Yashuang asked back, "The second brother is still in Northern Xinjiang, under the control of his father! But the uncle dares to plot against his grandson, isn't it because of the previous After he plotted against Bage, everyone was silent, and no one said a word of justice for Bage, so the uncle felt that it was nothing to cheat the children of our fourth house! "
"So you're complaining that I didn't stand up for you?" Qin Guogong asked, "Why are you justified in plotting against your elders?!"
Jiang Yashuang said lightly: "How dare my grandson complain about his grandfather? My grandson is just unwilling to use his uncle's dirty tricks on those in the Gu family, but he deliberately uses them on his own people! And you saw it just now, Uncle Liu Although he didn't say anything, the third uncle's dislike for the uncle has been made public in front of you and your uncle. Do you think the Jiang family will not fight among themselves in the long run? "
"Aren't you just fighting among yourself now?" Qin Guogong asked coldly!
"My uncle started everything." Jiang Yashuang said expressionlessly, "You have worked hard to cultivate your grandson for so many years. Is it just to make my uncle feel happy? In the future, your grandson will become a rival like Brother Eight and Brother Sixteen. A person who poses no threat to the Jiang family but does no harm to the Jiang family!"
"So I shouldn't cultivate you?!" Qin Guogong said coldly, "I have so many grandchildren, and I have spent the most effort on you, but I cultivate you to help your elders and support your brother! I don't want you to have your wings again. If you don’t take it hard, you’ll point the finger at your own people!”
Jiang Yashuang looked at him quietly for a moment and suddenly said: "If Fourth Aunt knows, today my uncle asked someone to find a teacher for the Seventh Prince, and he also plans to be the teacher himself..." This distinction couldn't be more obvious. How could Queen Jiang agree to Quan's behavior
Especially the relationship between Jiang Tianao and Empress Jiang is normal! If the queen knew that Jiang Tian'ao had such thoughts, she would not give him a chance to go further if she didn't deal with this cousin!
"Are you threatening me?" Qin Guogong sneered, "Planning to join forces with your fourth aunt to scheme against your uncle? He is indeed the grandson trained by me, Jiang Qianchuan - your own grandmother died at that time, and I didn't even frown. I married your current grandmother; then your current grandmother's grandfather, Tao Yinsong, passed away. I didn't even say a word, and used both soft and hard tactics to remove all the power cards of the Tao family - this is how our Jiang family, 'Jiang Banchao', The name!"
He looked at Jiang Yashuang closely, "I am indeed unkind to my in-laws. In order to strengthen the Jiang family, I have done even more evil things to other people! But I have never treated my own family members... You are better than Lan Sheng." Yu Lan?"
"My grandson's plan has been told to you." Jiang Yashuang turned a blind eye to his sharp, razor-sharp gaze and said calmly, "If you don't agree, my grandson has made up his mind and will always continue... You If you really don't like it, you can do whatever you want with your grandson, and he will never complain!"
Duke Qin laughed so much that tears were about to flow out, and said sternly: "Are you so sure that I can't bear to deal with you so hard?!"
Seeing the old man's extremely sad look, Jiang Yashuang's eyes flashed with weakness for a moment, but then he regained his composure: "My grandson really thinks that you will not be harsh on your grandson. Apart from my uncle, you have always been the most caring person." grandson."
My parents are far away in northern Xinjiang, and my uncle is watching with eager eyes! But I am not yet in my prime, and my climate is not yet complete!
In this intra-family contest, the only thing he could rely on was the love of Duke Qin.
"Perhaps this feeling of personal upbringing and cultivation cannot compare to the kindness of my great-uncle." He stood in front of Qin Guogong with his eyes lowered, waiting for the old man to take a deep breath to calm down his mood, and thought indifferently in his heart, "But I won't give it up after all. To kill me, as long as my grandfather doesn't completely side with my uncle... and with the secret help from my fourth aunt, my father should be able to pass the exam this time, right?"
... In the first half of the year, Oubicheng returned to Beijing in the name of celebrating Mrs. Tao's birthday and avoiding the dispute in her father's backyard. The real purpose was indeed to remind her son of the art of war with Jiang Tianchi.
But what even the Duke of Qin didn't know was that the handwritten book that was sent at the same time as the volume on the art of war contained no tender care, no persuasive advice, only a few ruthless sentences, and the wording did not indicate the relationship between father and son. , more like a business matter - this reminder is a test given by Jiang Tianchi to his son. Apart from the book on the art of war, he will not provide anything, but will secretly let people observe Jiang Yashuang's response.
If the response is good, Jiang Tianchi will consider leaving the Zhenbei Army to him;
If the result disappoints Jiang Tianchi, then Jiang Tianchi made it clear that the Zhenbei Army will have nothing to do with him!
In Jiang Tianchi's words, even if it is his own flesh and blood, if it is not enough to support him, he should not waste his time and energy and just be a dandy!
Although with Jiang Yashuang's academic performance, he has a bright future as a civil servant, and he doesn't necessarily have to go to the military.
but…
"Bago was destroyed at the hands of Dafang! Now second brother still wants to take the Zhenbei Army from me?! What a dream!"
Just as he said to Qiu Yilan before - he has a good temper, but he is not temperless!
Jiang Yadan was completely abandoned by Jiang Tianyao and his wife, and he still has no idea that he was tricked by his uncle. He was raised by Mrs. Tao, but he has always been slightly wary and grudge against his uncle!
Now Jiang Tianao still wants to take action against his future... How can Jiang Yashuang endure it any longer? !
He had studied hard for so many years in Han Chuang, not just to prove how much Jiang Tianao was favored by his uncles!
"...Get out!" After a long silence, Qin Guogong finally spoke. The old man looked cold and scolded in a tone without any emotion!
Jiang Yashuang bowed calmly: "My grandson, I obey!" Based on his understanding of Qin Guogong, he certainly understood that this was the doubt in his grandfather's heart...
"It's better than favoring the uncle directly!" He resigned with this thought. Behind the screen, the figure of the Marquis of Jibei immediately appeared, sighing: "Even the little nineteen who you raised personally is dissatisfied with the big house... The child If the conflict between us continues to be suppressed, are you afraid something big will happen? "
