Compared with Jiang Yadan's guilty conscience, Jiang Tianchi was calm and composed, saying warmly: "What are you afraid of? Come on, your sister-in-law didn't go inside to see. Even if she did, what could she do? She is her father's son after all. Wife, can you still disobey your father?"
Jiang Yadan thought about it, and then he felt relieved. He raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat. Seeing his father's calm look, he felt a little ashamed: "The child's determination is too bad, I let my father down!"
"I heard that Mrs. Qiu has a very fierce temperament. Did you suffer at her hands a few days ago? As a good man doesn't fight with women, it's no wonder you feel a headache when you see her." Jiang Tianchi comforted her kindly, " It’s not a big deal, don’t take it to heart!”
Jiang Yadan smiled awkwardly and said sarcastically: "It's the child's fault. I provoked her in the first place... It is better for the two nephews to land safely, otherwise the child will not be able to see his nineteenth brother!"
Jiang Tianchi didn't want to talk about his little daughter-in-law anymore, and said: "From now on, you will serve your grandmother here, and remember to show the word 'filial piety' in front of others. As a father, if I have free time, I will come over and teach you personally."
Jiang Yadan stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Tianchi was somehow always very patient with this notorious eldest son. Sensing his hesitation, I immediately stopped to ask, with a friendly attitude and a gentle tone.
"Father, my child feels that my child is really not a person who bears heavy responsibilities." Jiang Yadan hesitated for a while, and finally said the words, "My child was ridiculous in his early years, and now it has become a habit. If you want to calm down and do serious things, I really feel that... I’m powerless!”
Now that these words have been spoken, the next words become more and more fluent, "Nineteenth brother, who has been taught by the court since childhood, has always been hardworking. Although his father loves the child, the child still feels that for the future generations of our Jiang family, Nineteenth My brother is the most suitable candidate!”
Jiang Tianchi looked at him quietly, with a flash of pity in his eyes, but sighed: "My father has his own concerns about this matter, so you don't need to say more. Just do what my father told you, I understand. "?"
"But father..."
"Father, I know that you have always given in to your younger brothers and sisters, but you should also know that there are some things that cannot be given up!" Jiang Tianchi frowned, with a hint of sternness in his tone!
Jiang Yadan was originally afraid of his parents. When he saw this, he shrank his head and whispered: "If my father rewards Mei Ji and his concubine, the child will definitely not let it go... But..."
"You kid!" Jiang Tianchi frowned slightly after hearing the first half of the sentence, and seemed to be disappointed with the eldest son's failure. He laughed again after hearing the last two words, shook his head and said, "Anyway, you are obedient - you are a busy father now. That’s right, you don’t have to worry about your father anymore, do you understand?”
After saying that, he didn’t give Jiang Yadan a chance to get entangled, and just walked away!
Jiang Yadan was left embarrassed and said to himself: "I really can't do it diligently. If I don't do it diligently, I won't be overwhelmed by the courtiers' advice?!"
If he doesn't learn well, he won't learn well. His innate IQ is not bad. Even if he doesn't care about it later in life, the environment in which he grew up means that his vision will not be too narrow. How could he not know that he has been acting recklessly and caring about his own thoughts since he was a teenager? What is the reason why you are still here today despite all kinds of troubles and misdeeds
Isn’t it better to rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade
As long as the big tree is there, he can do whatever he wants without any worries - it doesn't matter if he can't settle it himself, a lot of relatives and elders will deal with it for him. Who calls him the eldest son of the fourth brother
But I never thought that one day he would turn into this big tree!
Although his parents are still alive and the one sitting on the throne now still calls him grandfather, theoretically speaking, it is still too early for him to truly become that big tree - but Jiang Yadan still feels panicked. He is not stupid, so I know very well that I am not the one!
Let alone whether he has the ability to rule a country, he has no confidence in the diligence required of a qualified emperor!
He is not afraid of making people angry when he comes to power - he has done this kind of thing frequently and has never had any psychological burden. What he was afraid of was that Da Qin was not the one who snatched the throne from the Chu family because it was not Da Rui. There was no shadow of Zuo Zuo, let alone the foundation. If he was not careful, Da Qin would be destroyed by himself while it was still in its cradle. His fate may not be as good as that of Empress Dowager Rui and her son who will leave Beijing soon!
Even if the new king who kills Da Qin wants to pretend to be kind, he will definitely not be kind to him - a person like him who has committed numerous crimes will definitely be taken out by the new king to win people's hearts!
"Darui Kingdom has been in Zuo for more than a hundred years. From the founding king to Emperor Dezong, they were all enlightened and diligent people. Even after the Gu family came to power, Xue Chang supported the overall situation, and the emperor was turbulent and the emperor was clear, even if the war continued , The world is not so damaged," Jiang Yadan thought with a heavy heart, "The reason why the Chu family lost the country is ultimately because Emperor Dezong made an old fool in his later years and unjustly killed the crown prince who had been in power for more than ten years. The younger son was appointed as the crown prince instead! As a result, Queen Mother Gu and her son were not in the right position. They were afraid of opposition from the ministers and the investigation by the clan, so they had to hire the fourth aunt as the queen early to secure the help of the grandfather who holds military power to stabilize their position! "
"This gives our Jiang family the opportunity to take over the central government, become famous in three dynasties, and change dynasties!"
"From the founding king of Dali to Dezong, they were all promising kings, and there were hundreds of years in between - we can't afford that Dezong was confused in his later years and ruined Dali decades later, not to mention that the Qin Dynasty was only established a few days ago? "
Jiang Yadan was abandoned early. Although Qin Guogong kept trying to turn him back on the right path, he never did so - that is to say, he never did anything serious at all. Whether he served in the Forbidden Army or was transferred to other positions before, he was actually just a soy sauce, and all the work was done by subordinates.
Now that Jiang Tianchi revealed that he would make him the crown prince in the future, his first reaction was not happiness but worry: "If I don't become the crown prince, although I won't have the honor of being a great minister. But Nineteen is so capable, he will definitely not let him be." Da Qin can only be passed down for three or two generations before something goes wrong! I am his brother-in-law, and I have always had a good relationship with him. Even if he can only be crowned king, won't he think less of me because of this! Is it okay for him to worry about state affairs while I just live my life? Not very good? Father... Sigh..."
Jiang Tianchi's preference really made him happy and troubled at the same time. He was really satisfied with his current life: top-notch enjoyment, no need to worry about anything, a house full of wives and concubines, a family like a cloud, and a group of children... He just lived like this. It’s good to go down!
Of course, he also thought that he could do the same thing as before when he was on duty, doing nothing by himself and pushing everything to his subordinates. When his subordinates did a good job, he would take the credit - but as mentioned before, Jiang Yadan's IQ was fine, so naturally he could You must consider: "Before, I didn't care about anything and only took the credit, but no one under my command dared to deceive me. In the final analysis, they were still afraid of the Jiang family behind me! But if I become the emperor, I will be the most noble person in the world. At that time, my grandfather and father who are protecting me today must have been... How can my subordinates be so obedient and not bother me at all? "
"When it comes to trust, of course the one I trust the most is my brother - won't the power be handed over to sixteen and nineteen by then?! Sixteen is not as good as nineteen, and more likely to be handed over to nineteen. It's better to let him directly Being an emperor is justifiable, so why should I worry less?"
"Especially when Nineteen was a child, his grandfather regarded him as a pillar of talent, but now he is suppressed by his father without any fault. How can he not feel aggrieved in his heart without saying anything? A few days ago, he was making trouble. Sincerely! Whether you are willing to help me or not is a question!”
Jiang Yadan felt helpless, "If my father did this, wouldn't he be provoking discord between our brothers... Well, my father loves me wholeheartedly. It's really unfilial for me to think of him like this!"
He walked into the Beique Hall with great confusion and sighed, "Grandma, my grandson is here to serve you on my father's orders!"
After a long while, a stranger from the palace came out and curtsied: "Eighth Young Master, please! The old lady is waiting for you!"
... Jiang Yadan was entangled due to various reasons, the most important of which was Jiang Tianchi's restraint, so he didn't dare to tell anyone. But Jiang Tianchi has been keeping his eldest son by his side during this period, and his confidants have seen it, and their views on this are the same as what Jiang Yadan thought: "I think the Eighth Young Master is Xianyun Yehe's character, which is very good." The Ninth Young Master is both virtuous and has always respected his brothers and sisters. Why would the General choose the Eighth Young Master and abandon the Nineteenth Young Master?"
This was put euphemistically - what the confidant really wanted to say was: Your eldest son has no ambition at all, but your younger son is suitable for everything, so why are you bothering
Jiang Tianchi has been a soldier for half his life, and all his confidants were brought out of the army, so even though he has been knighted and has now resigned from the position of general, the people around him are still used to shouting like this.
This former general looked very much like his father, Duke of Qin, in both appearance and demeanor. He had been on the battlefield for decades, but he had no rude behavior and was very refined in private. Now that his subordinates openly questioned his IQ, he did not get angry and smiled lightly: "My fourteenth grandson is very much like Dan'er when he was young. He was smart, sensible, and filial."
"..." The confidants looked at me and I looked at you, feeling a headache. After a while, someone said, "So that's it?"
Then nothing was said—what? The grandson you are looking forward to is only six years old. How can he be as reliable as the nineteen-year-old son who is already twenty-four years old this year and has been trained and taught by your own father and is ready for use
Not to mention that your grandson’s biological mother is still alive, and your stepmother is very young. She can outlive your eldest son who is a prostitute and gambler. In other words, if Jiang Jingkun wants to be emperor, even if his grandfather favors him, he will not be able to survive. There are still many levels to clear in the end.
The most typical example: Emperor Ruidezong, if he had not been deceived by the Gu family in his later years and unjustly killed the older prince, how could he change his surname to Jiang in the world today? !
Emperor Dezong was a wise king both in his youth and in his prime. In his later years, he even cheated his first crown prince - and he didn't leave any bad records in political affairs! Such a master eventually fell into trouble with women, which indirectly led to the change of people in the Chu family. What's more, someone like Jiang Yadan couldn't move for a minute after seeing the beauty
Unlike Jiang Yashuang, there is a young lady in the backyard, and all the children have the same father and mother. No matter how fierce and arrogant Qiu Yilan is, there is no way she can instigate Jiang Yashuang to kill one of her sons, right? ! Even if Jiang Yashuang changes her mind to accept concubines in the future, Qiu Yilan now has three sons and one daughter, and a young and promising brother Qiu Jinglan as her backer. Even if she loses favor, it is impossible to shake her position. big.
...So no matter how you look at it, choosing Jiang Yashuang will save you worry and trouble!
The problem is, what Jiang Tianchi means now is that he will personally teach Jiang Jingkun to make up for the unreliability of his promising son. If you question him like this, wouldn't you be questioning his ability to teach his grandson, or even his lifespan? !
"Back then, Duke of Qin... Oh, it's Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been teaching the Nineteenth Young Master for so many years. As a father, you just changed the person." All the confidants felt very pessimistic. "Who knew you would have such hope for the Fourteenth Young Master now?" I hope that in the future, the Eighth Young Master will learn from you after hearing a lot about pillow style!”
