Qiu Yilan's sudden visit to the Xue family not only made Xue Chang aware of Qiu Jinglan's crisis, but also made Qin Guogong aware of the clues.
That night, he called Jiang Tianyao and Jiang Tianqi to the study: "Do you know about the nineteenth daughter-in-law going to Xue's house?"
The cousins looked at each other: "Already know."
"Xue Chang is not easy to move." Qin Guogong said very calmly, "Not only because his power is not small, but also because, without him, the world will be in chaos!"
Seeing that his nephew and eldest son seemed to disagree, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know why Tao Yinsong is known as the 'Pillar of the Country', but I have been in the military for half my life, but I can only be rated as the 'Stem of the Country'?"
"Because I can be said to be proficient in military strategy, but when it comes to running the country and bringing peace to the people, even you, Tian Ao, let alone Tao Yinsong, can compare with me!" Qin Guogong said calmly, "Our family has been fighting for power with Queen Mother Gu for so many years. Dari returned the country to peace and prosperity, of course because both sides had a sense of proportion, but the biggest reason was Xue Chang! Without the neutral faction led by him to stay in the middle and concentrate on government affairs, Dari's people would have been in trouble! , this person can’t move either!”
After a pause, "So Qiu Jinglan, don't show any hostility anymore! He is the successor that Xue Chang likes. Xue Chang has almost lost a promising successor, Xue Nongying. If anything happens to Qiu Jinglan again, he will definitely not Let's give it up! You have seen how he attacked King Zhou this time. Even if he has no soldiers, he is really fighting for our family... Even if our family is not afraid, there is no need!"
Jiang Tianyao couldn't help but said: "Second uncle has always been a talented person and has not been involved in officialdom. Isn't it because he deliberately let Xue Chang go? In the past, when my nephew had something he didn't understand, it was his second uncle who pointed him out." He has always felt that he is like this The second uncle is the most capable person in the world. How can he be defeated by a mere official
"I didn't say I couldn't!" Qin Guogong frowned, "It's just that he is far inferior to Xue Chang! The advice I gave you before was just a few points from the overall situation. You have to think about the details yourself. Even so, if you change Cheng Xuechang is here to give you some advice, and you will definitely benefit more!" He earned the Jiang family's current business from scratch. In addition to his outstanding military achievements and good political vision, he also has self-awareness.
In terms of internal affairs, ten of them combined are not as good as Xue Chang - he can mediate between the unreasonable mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Queen Mother Gu and Queen Jiang for many years, and he has both parties win over him, and he has managed Dari to make the country prosperous and the people An, with this method, Tao Yinsong's resurrection is probably just a bit better than him and a good general.
Besides, Xue Chang has never touched military power. If he were to go to the battlefield, who knows whether he would do as well as Tao Yinsong
Even if such talents have not completely surrendered to the Jiang family, Qin Guogong is not willing to compromise them.
After all, he has yet to find anyone who is better at running the country than Xue Chang. Why have the two queens maintained the bottom line after fighting for so many years? Aren't you afraid that if you really fight, even if you win, you will get a country riddled with holes, and you will have to clean up the mess if you don't have time to enjoy happiness
So as long as Xue Chang doesn't cheat the Jiang family, Duke Qin will be very patient with him - Xue Chang's talent is definitely worth his patience. Therefore, for Xue Chang, he was willing to put a lot of effort into Qiu Jinglan's arrangements. Besides, Qiu Jinglan was also a talent, and it was not the kind of talent that could be obtained easily. If she could be used by the Jiang family, why kill her? What a waste!
To be honest, Qin Guogong was very disappointed with his nephew and son this time: "You want to get rid of anyone who is blocking the road. This is really a reckless act! Didn't any of them think about winning over Qiu Jinglan for their own use?" They would even rather calculate it. The cost of killing Qiu Jinglan - Even if you think that Qiu Jinglan is Qiu Yilan's brother, he is still a sister-in-law, and he can be regarded as a fixed member of the four-bedroom party, but because of this, he gives up without even trying. This kind of character and means are too much for Qin Guogong I’m speechless: How can we do great things like this!
"Father, if that's the case, then of course we listen to him!" Neither his nephew nor his son knew the true mood of Qin Guogong. After pondering for a while, Jiang Tianqi said, "However, the fourth brother has already taken charge of the Zhenbei Army, and the Zhenxi Army will no longer Isn’t it too inappropriate to leave it to Nineteenth’s brother-in-law? And since Xue Chang sees Zhongqiu Jinglan as his successor, it would be too late to keep him in the army!”
Jiang Tianyao and Jiang Tianqi had no grudge against Qiu Jinglan. The reason why they wanted to kill this young man was to attack the forces in the Fourth House. In the final analysis, they wanted to suppress the Western Army. Duke Guo of Qin emphasized the importance of Xue Chang and the consequences of falling out with him. The two cousins suddenly thought that since Xue Chang could secretly join forces with the Jiang family for the sake of his grandson, the Yingu family, who knows if he would join forces with Jiang Tianchi for Qiu Jinglan? Join forces to plot against yourself
Thinking about it this way, I felt that it was better to listen to Qin Guogong's advice, give up the murderous intention against Qiu Jinglan, and instead directly seek to suppress the Western Army! After all, by completely taking over the fourth branch of Zhenbei Army, he has firmly grasped the biggest foundation of the Jiang family. With the help of Xue Chang, once Qin Guogong dies, he can completely throw away their civil and military power and dominate the world!
It's better to just mention the target and suppress the Western Army! At least, this is what Qin Guogong also agrees with.
Sure enough, when Qin Guogong heard what his eldest son said, he nodded slightly: "The Zhenxi Army must be in our hands, but Qiu Jinglan cannot be transferred back for the time being - those Ruan Qiu's old troops are not fools. We had agreed to let them take action. , just promise not to cross the river and burn the bridge! Now that the Kuang family has just fallen, they have transferred Qiu Jinglan back to the capital, and then sent our people there. After all, they are old generals in the army. Once they are entrenched? If you get scared and work together to exclude us, you will be in trouble!"
Jiang Tianqi frowned and said, "But if Qiu Jinglan stays there, wouldn't it give him the opportunity to succeed his father?" He heard news from Commander Wang that although those people had taken a lot of benefits from the Jiang family , but when it comes to serious matters, everyone has to ask Qiu Jinglan before agreeing to nod. How can he trust Qiu Jinglan to stay there for a long time
It was also Qiu Yilan who was the fourth wife's daughter-in-law, and Jiang Yashuang's nephew was difficult to handle. Otherwise, he would have asked the He family to come forward and force Qiu Yilan to write a letter to call her brother back.
Qin Guogong said calmly: "It doesn't matter, let him stay there for a few years. Our people will have him as a buffer after all, and it will not easily cause a backlash from the Zhenxi Army... As for your worries about his son succeeding his father, there is absolutely no need, he is too young. Oh, do you think Ruan Qiu's old army would be willing to hand over military power to him just because he entered the Imperial Academy at the age of eighteen? Without military power, he would just be doing mediation in the Zhenxi Army. What should he be afraid of? "
"If you are still not at ease, have you forgotten? He hasn't married yet, has he?" Qin Guogong glanced at his nephew and smiled lightly, "Find him a sensible and smart lady to keep an eye on. In a few years, our people will be in Zhenxi After the army gained a foothold, wouldn't it be enough to use the Yue family as an excuse to let him return to Beijing? "
When Jiang Tianyao and Jiang Tianqi heard this, they were happy at first, and then a little bitter: "We are ladies... of similar age and family background. It has been really hard to find her in the past two years!" Their two daughters have already been married and cannot be married at all. Qiu Jinglan's father-in-law, Jiang Tianao secretly scolded his wife and daughter for not living up to expectations when he thought of this. You must know that he wanted to marry Jiang Qiyun to Qiu Jinglan at the beginning, so he sent Jiang Yashuang over to find out! As a result, Jiang Qiyun had not yet met Qiu Jinglan, so she became unhappy with Qiu Jinglan's sister Qiu Yilan. After returning home, she said many bad things in front of Mrs. Dou and refused to marry her! When Jiang Tianyao heard his wife and daughter talk about how Qiu Jinglan was not very good, he lost his mind. Later, when he heard that the Xue family also wanted to marry off their daughter, he completely lost his mind.
If he had insisted on marrying Jiang Qiyun back then, would he still have to worry about it now? ! Although my daughter is now a princess, she is "recuperating" in a village outside the city. She will have to nurse herself to death without any accident! That prince's son-in-law is such a waste, he basically lives his life cautiously!
The eldest granddaughter Jiang Huizhi is quite good. She is both talented and beautiful and is well worth the effort to find a good grandson-in-law. But Jiang Yashuang has already married Qiu Yilan, so he can't marry his granddaughter to his nephew's wife's brother, right? After all, the Jiang family is not a royal family. With such close in-laws, there is really no way to mistake the seniority.
In addition to his daughter and granddaughter, Jiang Tianyao did not consider the nieces and nephews living in other houses, so there were only nieces and nieces from the in-law family. But his niece was not in the capital, and there was basically no relationship. Qiu Jinglan was a veteran of flowers, and ordinary women Don't take it easy when coaxing your child. Jiang Tian'ao can't worry about betrothing nieces he has never met to him!
It wasn't long before his in-law's family, the Dou family, was unlucky. Those juniors with the surname Dou were now being teased and teased in the classroom! The Dou family's niece is just like his own niece, she has never seen her, has no feelings for her, and is worried!
… I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more I feel like vomiting blood!
Jiang Tianyao felt regretful and angry, and Jiang Tianqi also felt helpless. The only daughter of Qin Guogong who is alive now is Queen Jiang, and the only living niece who is now alive is Princess Yongfu... Uncle Qiao Cheng of the Yue family, his family status is not considered low, but it is a pity. There is only one daughter in this generation, He Shuijin, who has already become Jiang Tianqi's wife. Otherwise, with He Shuijin's shrewdness, would it really be possible to win over Qiu Jinglan
Duke Guo of Qin also knew where they were in trouble, so he pointed out: "Among your subordinates, you don't necessarily have any daughters suitable for marriage, right? Find a filial, clever and good-looking girl, and adopt her as an adopted daughter, and let your daughter-in-law train her. After all, the war there hasn't ended yet, and this is not the time to get married. By the time we get married, I think we should have some relationship with our family. "
A filial girl values her parents and relatives. As long as she holds her family members in her hands, she won't be able to restrain her sincere love for Qiu Jinglan. If you are smart... If you want to keep an eye on Qiu Jinglan, how can you do it without any brains! Being good-looking is of course also taken into account Qiu Jinglan's mood - this master is not Jiang Yashuang. Judging from the two oirans in the capital, he will definitely not be short of comforters with beautiful faces. His wife is not pretty. Don't follow in the footsteps of little Mr. Tao and become his housekeeper under the title of wife!
As for the relationship with the Jiang family, it is secondary. It is impossible to raise Qiu Jinglan for ten or eight years before marrying Qiu Jinglan. They are already of marriageable age. It can be as short as three or two months or as long as one and a half years. Such a short time How many feelings can there be? In the final analysis, it is still up to the girl's blood relatives to control her.
"This is the only way!" The two cousins couldn't think of a better way, so they decided to follow this method.
It's just that although they were persuaded by Qin Guogong, their attitude towards Qiu Jinglan took a big turn, from killing them to marrying them off - but Qiu Yilan didn't know!
"Just walking around with the Xue family is not reliable enough!" It was about his brother's life, and Qiu Yilan didn't dare to take it lightly! While trying to increase the favorability of the Xue family, she thought, "The Jiang family is too arrogant! Both Jiang Yadan and Jiang Qiyun can do anything! Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi, even if they are afraid of Xue Xiang, But who knows if I’ll kill my brother first if I’m so excited? So I have to add weight to my brother’s side!”
So she thought of Queen Jiang, "I heard from Nineteenth that the queen hates the big house, and doesn't like the third house very much. The one she supports the most is the fourth house! Then the queen will definitely support the growth of the power of the fourth house, not the big house. Room, room three! "Anyway, Queen Jiang has no one who can compete for the post of Zhenxi Army!
Furthermore, "After all, Queen Jiang is the most important figure in the Queen's Party after Qin Guogong. Even if she can't stop Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi from attacking her brother, she can still keep an eye on their movements, right? After all, she is the elder of the Nineteenth!"
With this idea in mind, she began to gain favor with Queen Jiang at the same time - when she was not going to the Xue family, she would go to the palace to pay her respects and bring things in various ways to show her respect. Anyway, she had a large dowry and was not afraid of spending it!
Empress Jiang didn't know her purpose at first, but she was very happy to see her niece-in-law, who she remembered as having a bad temper, suddenly became obedient and filial. Especially since she was feeling guilty towards Qiu Yilan, once she showed her filial piety, her impression points increased quickly.
After seeing the reason, although he was a little disappointed, he then thought: "If she doesn't run away like this, don't I also want the fourth room to gain power? Why blame her." Following Qiu Yilan's wishes, Jiang Tianao revealed from time to time , Jiang Tianqi’s news to her.
In this way, Qiu Yilan naturally found out about the two uncles' search for their adopted daughter soon.
There was a record of them intending to kill Qiu Jinglan. Qiu Yilan would not have thought that these two adopted daughters were recognized in order to win over Qiu Jinglan. What she immediately thought of was: "They want these two adopted daughters to go there." assassinate?!!!"
Immediately, I begged Queen Jiang to find an excuse to call the two newly minted sisters-in-law to come to the palace and show them to me!
… Let’s see if we can use Queen Jiang’s venue to kill someone
